Chapter 207: Drive Him Crazy, Ending, Reunion
The questioning after questioning gave Gao Changgong a bad feeling in his heart. He stared at Lu Lingxuan coldly and listened to her say: "You guys from the Gao family He killed two crazy emperors, do you know why?”
In his confusion, Lu Lingxuan’s lips curled up again and continued:
“Because in your Gao family’s life, There is a crazy factor hidden in the blood. It is like a bloodthirsty beast, dormant somewhere you can't see. Maybe it can sleep forever, but once this beast wakes up, this person will be killed by it. He becomes violent, crazy, and even bloodthirsty!”
“I have seen this disease in Xiao Luan’s medical records, and this disease will continue among his descendants! , and it cannot be cured, and Xiao Luan has not found a cure throughout his life."
" Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang had his hands on so many ministers' wives, do you think he would really let Xiao Luan go and treat her! To show respect? In his final madness, he would have raped Xiao Luan, otherwise do you think why Xiao Luan would resign and go into seclusion... Hahaha..."
After laughing for a while , she looked at Gao Changgong and said:
"So Xiao Luan hates you members of the Gao family very much in her heart, because she knows that the cruelty and dissoluteness of the Gao family cannot be changed in their bones. She wants her daughter not to suffer. You, the Gao family, begged me to let her daughter escape from Qi State.
But what I didn’t expect was that although she escaped from Qi State and returned to Nanchen, she actually met her in a roundabout way. She fell in love with you and even married you. What do you think Xiao Luan would be like now if she knew that her daughter had finally become the plaything of the Gao family?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Changgong had already stretched out his hand? He came through the iron bars and strangled her neck, saying angrily:
"Shut up! I have never regarded Ayu as a plaything. She is my most beloved person and my wife!"
I was angry because I couldn't believe it. His pair of eyes were particularly bright and beautiful. His eyes turned red.
"Gao Changgong, you are angry! You want to kill me, don't you?" As if she had achieved a certain goal, Lu Lingxuan laughed again, "So, you are no exception..."
In his silence, she smiled again:
"Maybe, maybe you are sincere to her, but how long can you protect her?"
" You are just a clan prince, and even Gao Zhan can kill you with just one word. After you die, whose hands will she fall into?"
"There is no woman that the emperor wants? What you can't get...think about Li Zu'e's fate?"
Seeing the complex emotions and pain in Gao Changgong's eyes, Lu Lingxuan's smile became more proud and sinister.
"Xiao Luan would rather poison her body and make herself sterile for life than leave an heir to Gao Yang. As her daughter, Xiao Jinyu should also understand this... She is Miracle doctor, unless she doesn’t want to, it’s impossible for her to not have a child until now!”
“Gao Changgong, do you think I’m right?”
Feeling that his hands seemed to be trembling, and the starlight in his eyes gradually turned into a ray of coldness, Lu Lingxuan lowered her voice and said seductively:
"In order to prevent the identity of the woman you love from being exposed, why not... Let's make a deal?"
Gao Changgong looked at her, his expression even colder, but with a glimmer of hope!
“Don’t worry, what I seek is not greed for life, but dignity!”
……
Xiao Jinyu and Xie Yuxuan waited outside the prison gate of Dali Temple for almost half an hour , saw Gao Changgong coming out, but seeing that his expression seemed a little depressed, Xiao Jinyu stepped forward and shook his hand and asked: "Changgong, what's wrong?"
Gao Changgong looked at her and smiled: "It's nothing. Let’s go back to the mansion!”
Xiao Jinyu nodded, and the three of them returned to the Lanling Palace together. After that, Xiao Jinyu asked Xie Yuxuan to lead his Majesty’s imperial edict to inspect all of Lu Lingxuan’s assets in Yecheng, that is, The industry created by Xiao Luan back then.
“There are more than 400 squares in Yecheng, 200 of which have the properties of Lu Lingxuan and Mutipo, including bookstores, tea houses, rouge and pollen shops, silk and satin clothing and hat shops, swords, guns, saddles and bridle warehouses, etc. There are a total of 200 merchants, but most of them have left Lu Lingxuan at a loss, and some are even doing some less serious business. Because Lu Lingxuan did not keep their promises to the merchants and used and oppressed the servants, Many people are dissatisfied with her, and there are many people fleeing!"
"There is also the Fengyue Tower, the largest in Yecheng. Because it is a place for the rich and powerful, the revenue there is quite good, but those The women seem to be used to such a life of spending money, and they are unwilling to take the right path. Only a few servants who are forced to do some rough work in the building want to leave, or work in the Xinghua Yanyu Building. "
At this point, Xie Yuxuan felt a little embarrassed and said: "Sister, I tried my best to persuade you, but there is nothing I can do!"
Xiao Jinyu originally wanted to give those women who were persecuted by Lu Lingxuan another chance to choose life, but unexpectedly... This is the result.
After pondering for a moment, she said: "Then let them choose for themselves, and no one will force them to do anything! It's just a pity that my mother originally founded this restaurant... …”
Hearing Xiao Jinyu’s sigh, Xie Yuxuan also felt a little sad.
Xiao Jinyu called Yue Ying again and asked Yue Ying and Madam Wei to take care of these things.
“In the past six months, you have managed Xinghua Yanyu Building very well. However, now we not only have Xinghua Yanyu Building. Lu Lingxuan robbed my mother’s property, and I will take it back together. But the current situation may not be good. You and Madam Wei need to negotiate with the businessmen and try to give them a larger share of the share. The wages of the shopkeepers and servants must not be less..."
Yue Ying replied: "Yes!" He looked at Xiao Jinyu again with great gratitude in his eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Mrs. Wei shouted: "You kid, why are you crying?"
Yue Ying said: "I have no relatives in my family and am alone. I only want to avenge my parents and dare not be greedy for life. Fortunately, my wife came to my rescue, and she didn’t mind my young age and was willing to believe in me, so she gave me a chance to start my business again.” ! ”
"Okay, okay, go get busy! If you need people, tell me!" Madam Wei urged.
"Yes!"
After Yueying left with a few servants, Axiu brought a bowl of soup and medicine over and said: "Princess, the medicine is ready, hurry up Drink it while it's hot!"
Xiao Jinyu nodded, picked up the medicinal soup and was about to drink it. Before he could reach his lips, the soup bowl was knocked away by a strong force.
She looked up and saw Gao Changgong standing in front of her.
Xie Yuxuan, Axiu and Princess Liyang on the side all looked at him in surprise.
He seemed to be very distressed and said to Xiao Jinyu: "Ayu, even if you don't want to be pregnant with my heir, you can't hurt your body. I..."
"Prince , what are you talking nonsense here? The little lady is drinking these medicines to recuperate her body just because she wants to be pregnant with your child. The little lady has been experimenting with medicine since she was a child and has accumulated some toxins in her body. Although she can The poison is not poisonous, but it will hurt the child, so you have to drink these medicines to remove the toxins and improve your physique, otherwise even if you get pregnant, you will..." Mrs. Wei said anxiously.
Gao Changgong looked at Xiao Jinyu in surprise.
“Is it true?”
"Of course it's true. These are all little ladies... Oh no, your princess told us herself! Prince, what's going on with you? Why do you seem to be a different person after you came back from Dali Temple Prison? , unhappy, and doubting that the young lady is not willing to give you an heir. What good will it do to her if she doesn't give birth to an heir? Do you want her to be stigmatized for nothing? "
Princess Liyang too? Asked: "Chang Gong, what did Lu Lingxuan say to you?"
Without asking what Lu Lingxuan said, Mrs. Wei said sarcastically:
"Oh, that kind of Women are the best at deceiving people and talking nonsense. Do you believe it, Prince?"
Gao Changgong realized that he seemed to be really affected, but Lu Lingxuan's words seemed to have taken root in his heart. Going there always reminded him of his uncle Gao Yangdian's crazy and bloodthirsty appearance, and Gao Yan's crazy fearful appearance.
"I'm sorry, Ayu, I shouldn't doubt you!"
Xiao Jinyu was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Chang Gong, the New Year is approaching, let's go for a walk, and give me something by the way. Buy some gifts!”
“Okay!”
……
Without letting more people follow, Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong came to the market in Ye Nancheng. The joy of the approaching New Year permeates the streets and alleys of Yenan City.
There were many couples like them walking on the street, or entering a teahouse shop to buy some silk items.
The two walked for a while and visited a few shops. Xiao Jinyu took Gao Changgong to a quiet teahouse and sat down, sipping tea and looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Chang Gong, can you tell me now, what did Lu Lingxuan tell you?"
Facing her soft question, Gao Changgong couldn't bear it and didn't want her to know Xiao Luan Of the insults and injuries he had received from Gao Yang, he only mentioned the madness of his two uncles.
“She said that this disease is likely to continue to spread among future generations, and I... am also a descendant of the Gao family...”
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said: " Do you believe that?"
Seeing her smile, Gao Changgong thought for a moment and felt very happy: "You mean, she is deliberately trying to scare me and provoke us?" "Of course, your Gao family is so kind. Among the many descendants, Emperor Wenxuan and Emperor Xiaozhao were the only ones who went crazy later, and they also had their causes!"
"Chang Gong, don't do it! Listen to her nonsense, not to mention that I am still by your side? Don’t you believe in my medical skills?”
“Of course I believe you!” Gao Changgong was very happy, then smiled slightly. She asked, "Ayu, if our ideas are not consistent in the future, will you...leave me?"
"I'm thinking wildly again. I won't quarrel with you over trivial matters, unless it's..."
"What is it?" Gao Changgong asked nervously.
Xiao Jinyu paused for a moment and replied: "Unless I can no longer stay in your Qi State, I may leave Qi State..."
Gao Changgong's expression changed and he listened to her again He smiled and added: "But I'm not leaving you!"
Gao Changgong forced a smile, but he became even more worried.
After the two of them sat for a while, they heard a burst of noise on the street outside the window. Looking for a sound, they saw an open truck filled with about fourteen or five people. The oldest was only three or four years old. Ten years old, the youngest may only be ten years old. They all have coins in their mouths to keep silent, and their hands are tied.
Xiao Jinyu immediately recognized the eldest man, Gao Guiyan, who was wearing prison uniform.
Behind Gao Guiyan was a middle-aged man holding a long knife on Gao Guiyan's neck. He had an ordinary appearance and a burly build. He was Liu Taozhi, the number one assassin of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
There was a band playing drums and singing behind the car!
In the midst of these lively and noisy drum beats, Liu Taozhi cut off heads one after another.
The blood flowed down from the car like a stream!
Xiao Jinyu's scalp felt numb, her heart felt chilly, and her face could not help but turn a little pale.
"Ayu, don't look!"
Gao Changgong noticed her expression, and quickly covered her sight with his sleeves, and took her into his arms.
“After bringing Gao Guiyan back to Yecheng, His Majesty ordered the ministers to re-examine his crime in the court. However, all the ministers believed that his crime was unpardonable, so in the end, His Majesty ordered him to be executed. !”
“The crime of rebellion cannot be forgiven, this is the law!”
Gao Changgong said, and then he let Xiao Jinyu go after the drum sound faded away.
“If one person is convicted, his descendants will be slaughtered together. How cruel is this law to these innocent people?”
“If the law can be rewritten...”
After sighing subconsciously, Xiao Jinyu paused, looked up and saw Gao Changgong's eyes looking at her in surprise and worry.
"Okay, Chang Gong, let's go back!"
......
The Chao Sui Festival is originally a good day for ancestor worship and family reunion, but because of His Majesty's appearance, many people The nobles who came to Yecheng to attend the imperial meeting were all fearful and uneasy.
The Great Court Meeting was originally a test and restraint for the kings. Gao Guiyan and fifteen of his descendants were beheaded and abandoned the city. This was not only a punishment for his crime of treason, but also a warning to these nobles. their suppression.
But this does not affect the entire Yecheng city being enveloped in the atmosphere of the New Year. People are still coming and going on the streets, and they are full of joy. When night falls, candles are lit all over the city, and the winter atmosphere fades away. The chill of the cold wind.
The homes of the princes and ministers were also prepared with entertainment games such as chess and pot throwing, and every household was immersed in the joy of it.
Lanling Palace is no exception. Chef Axiu is still the chef, and some servants in the kitchen prepare a large table of dishes. The family has dinner together, and the house is filled with laughter and laughter.
At the same time, Xiao Jinyu also received a letter from Jiankang, which was written by Xiao Xian.
After reading the letter, Xiao Jinyu's eyes showed unexpected joy, and she burst into tears and laughed.
Gao Changgong asked her what happy event had happened, and Xiao Jinyu replied: "Uncle Xian said that he will come to Qi immediately as an envoy of the Southern Dynasty to reunite with us in Qi!"
Xiao Xian! It’s been a long time since I last saw you!
Gao Changgong felt the joy in her heart and was also very happy.
No one noticed a hint of worry in his heart. For some reason, in recent days, he often thought of a nightmare he had when he was in Pengcheng, Xuzhou. He dreamed that Ayu was surrounded by many people. Shouting to kill her, he wanted to stop those people, but was held tightly by them...
After hugging her to sleep at night, the dream became more real, and he couldn't help but sweat. Awakened from sleep.
"Chang Gong, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?" Xiao Jinyu asked, seeing that his expression was a little tangled and painful.
When Gao Changgong opened his eyes and saw her, he was frightened and immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid!”
As if thinking of something, Xiao Jinyu comforted him for a while. After his mood stabilized, he got up, lit agarwood incense, and hugged him to sleep again.
……
“Guess, doubt, pain!”
"Loyalty, betrayal, dilemma choices!"
"There is always one thing that can drive you crazy, right?"
"Hahaha..."
It's still lively outside The sky was full of noise, but the prison in Dali Temple was extremely deserted. After Lu Lingxuan let out a miserable laugh, she heard the sound of tinkling bells.
She raised her head, her gloomy eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is that you?"
The person who came was a woman in gorgeous clothes. She looked like she was at least a noble concubine. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and she walked as elegantly and gracefully as if she were walking on lotus steps. He has a charming personality and looks like he has practiced dancing since he was a child.
She is Gao Zhan Xinna’s favorite concubine Feng Lingyi.
Recognizing the person, Lu Lingxuan sarcastically said: "You are quite capable, and you even hooked up with Gao Zhan?"
"Foster mother, aren't you the one who has all my abilities? Taught it? ”
"When you come to Gao Zhan, do you want to avenge your Yuan clan?"
Feng Lingyi smiled: "Yes! The lives of more than 700 people! They all disappeared overnight. After entering the belly of the fish, how can you not take revenge?"
Lu Lingxuan also laughed proudly after hearing this.
"Are you here to rescue me?" she asked.
Feng Lingyi shook his head: "No, I came here on behalf of your majesty to give you the poisoned wine, stepmother, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. In fact, you are the person who should not be forced to death. Xiao Luan!
You don’t know that the women and children of our Yuan family all hate you! So..."
She poured a glass of wine and handed it to her, "Just be good. Go to hell!”
