Rebirth of marriage

The night wind is strong on the mountain road.

Gu Xiao's eyes were cold and cruel, "Come out."

There was no movement except for the breathing of their group.

Gu Xiao's eyes suddenly landed behind a clump of weeds. He exerted force on his feet and kicked out a stone. A black shadow flew out from behind the grass.

Lou Qi's eyes were filled with sadness, "Brother Xiao, you are so generous with your kick."

If he didn't dodge in time, the stones would probably pierce his flesh.

Then Lu Kang, Wuwei and others also appeared one after another.

Gu Xiao glanced at them one by one, "Why are you here?"

But in fact, I already have the answer in my heart.

Jiu'er is always so smart.

Lou Qi didn't hide it from him, "The master of the pavilion guessed what you were going to do. She was worried that something would happen to you, so she didn't let me bring all the skilled people in Jiuxiao Pavilion."

"You deliberately made me aware of your presence." Gu Xiao was very sure. Lou Qi's martial arts was not weak, and Wuwei and others had learned the hiding skills of the secret guards. If they followed from a distance and concealed their whereabouts, he might not be able to Discover.

Lou Qi smiled and said, "You have noticed it. I think it is not good for you to come forward in that matter. Why don't you do it for me? I am from the Jianghu. No one has seen my skills. Even if they doubt you, they won't do it." The evidence is not.”

"No need." Gu Xiao refused, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be lost."

He doesn't trust others.

"Can't you trust me? We are just gourds on a vine and grasshoppers on a boat. Xie Jiu is the master of my pavilion. I value her as much as you do." Lou Qi tried to persuade him, "If you are not at ease, stay away." Follow from afar."

"Conditions?" Gu Xiao could only believe half of his words.

Lou Qi curled his lips and smiled evilly, "Help me tell the pavilion master to let her decide on my marriage to Jiaojiao as soon as possible. I have been feeling uneasy recently. Jiaojiao and I have been wasted for so many years. If we come again, A few twists and turns are really terrible, you and I are both men with the most loved ones, so you should understand my feelings."

"Okay." Gu Xiao's eyes flashed sharply, but he quickly disappeared.

So refreshing?Lou Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Why do I feel like you are waiting for me here?"

Gu Xiao smiled, as cunning as a fox. Unfortunately, the night was too dark and Lou Qi couldn't see clearly, so he heard Gu Xiao say, "Since you treat me as a brother, I really can't watch you still guarding an empty room alone at your age. I will blow the wind for you, and you will be the groom before you return to Beijing, but you have to promise me one thing..."

Lou Qi put the things he grabbed into his arms, and when he ran away, his mind suddenly became clear. He was clearly here to help Gu Xiao, and Gu Xiao should be the one thanking him.

Why was it that he was the one who helped in the end and was the one being hunted, yet he owed Gu Xiao favors and promises?

The swords collided behind him, and the wooden stake jumped to his side, reminding him, "Be careful."

How could the young master wander so far away when he was being hunted?

The sound of the wooden stake brought Lou Qi back to his thoughts. He raised his arm, fired out several hidden weapons, and pulled the wooden stake to quickly throw away the pursuers.

He sighed secretly, if he was fooled, he would be fooled. After all, Gu Xiao should be a promise-keeper and would let him and Jiaojiao get married as soon as possible.

*

It was midnight, and the lights were still on in Xie's wine room. She had slept very late in the past few days since Gu Xiao had left.

Although Lou Qi and the others were sent to help, she was still worried before they came back. She couldn't sleep well, so she simply slept late.

She stared blankly at a piece of paper under the lamp. On the paper were written the names of Zhenguo Gongfu, Zhao Huaian and Yun Dai. She had been reading it for several days.

If she was really Yanyan's child, then why would a wealthy family like the Zhenguo Palace, which valued blood the most, allow Zhao Huaian and Yun Dai to adopt other people's children?

Xie Jiu has thought about countless possibilities these days. She feels that the most likely possibility is that Zhao Huaian and Yun Dai cannot have children of their own.

And this problem could only be with Zhao Huaian. Only because he could not have children, the old lady of Zhenguo Palace finally had to relent and allowed him to marry Yun Dai, who had no financial background.

It was only for this reason that the Duke of Zhen would allow his eldest son, whom he had carefully cultivated, to resign from his position as the eldest son.

If this bold assumption of mine is true, then the doctors and imperial doctors who interacted with the Zhenguo government, treated Zhao Huai'an, and protected Yun Dai's pregnancy were all breakthroughs.

Po Wen should also check. If Zhao Huaian is really infertile, Yun Dai cannot be pregnant. She needs to prepare the child in advance. Po Wen knows best where there is a mother who is about to give birth.

According to another thread, Prefect Yu said that Wang Shuyan was brought back to the capital by Cao Laosi after she became pregnant, so she must have given birth in the capital.

Perhaps the doctor, the imperial doctor, and the wife were all silenced, but there were so many people and things involved that it was possible that no trace would be left.

After Xie Jiu understood the key, he sent a message to the capital on the night Gu Xiao left.

When the sky was about to become brighter, she blew out the candles, crumpled the piece of paper into the bamboo basket, and went to bed to rest.

Drowsily, a warm touch fell on her lips. She opened her eyes and met Gu Xiao's smiling eyes.

Xie Jiu hurriedly stood up, "Are you back? Are you injured?"

"Jiu'er feels sorry for me and sent a helper to me. How could I still get hurt? Lou Qi went to get the things."

He only watched from a distance.

After kissing Xie Jiu on the lips, Gu Xiao took out a roll of bright yellow silk from his arms and handed it to Xie Jiu, "Open it and take a look."

After Xie Jiu saw it, he covered his lips and shed tears.

That day, Lou Qi told her that when Mo Li whispered to Gu Xiao, she felt a little uneasy. After she and Gu Xiao communicated with each other, they no longer had any secrets.

Gu Xiao would avoid her only if he didn't want her to worry or feel uncomfortable.

After thinking about it based on what happened in those days, she thought about Wu Chong.

He is the emperor's man. If the emperor wants him to keep an eye on Gu Xiao, then no matter how cautious she is with Gu Xiao, she cannot guard against a pair of thoughtful eyes in the dark. If Wu Chong knows about it, it means that the emperor knows about it.

The emperor originally ordered someone to give Gu Xiao medicine to give him a taste of women, but he did not want him to be entangled with himself, a widow and a criminal.

Although he and Gu Xiao have a bad relationship, these are the three of his sons who understand Gu Xiao's temperament to some extent. If he kills her rashly, Gu Xiao might seek revenge from him regardless.

Therefore, he most likely tried to cut off the possibility of her and Gu Xiao.

The most effective way is to take advantage of the opportunity to pardon the Yang family and issue an imperial edict to build a chastity arch for her and crucify her completely to the Yang family.

Once a woman who has been given a chastity memorial is found to have behaved impurely, she will die without the emperor taking action.

After Gu Xiao found out that Wu Chong was the emperor's man, he guessed that the emperor might deal with Xie Jiu, so he sent a letter to his informant in the team who came to deliver the edict, asking him to find a way to confirm whether there was such an imperial edict.

That day, Xie Jiu fell ill, and what Mo Li told him was the news from his informant. The emperor had indeed issued an imperial edict to Xie Jiu, and it was based on the fact that Xie Jiu never left his mother-in-law during his exile.

The intentions were sinister and disgusting, and Gu Xiao felt more disgust and anger towards the emperor.

After finally waiting for Xie Jiu to recover from her illness and send her back to Yuyou Pass, he left in a hurry, hoping to snatch away the imperial edict before the edict-delivery team entered Yuyou Pass.

Gu Xiao took Xie Jiu into his arms, "Don't cry, it's okay, I'll burn it right now."

This thing should have been destroyed after being snatched, but he brought it to Xie Jiu to have a look at it so that she could feel at ease.

Xie Jiu wiped his tears and said, "No, don't burn it here, go to another courtyard."

This is an imperial edict. Robbery or destruction is a capital offense if found, and Lin Shu's house must not be burned.

The two of them arrived at the other courtyard, and Xie Jiu found a rake to dig a hole.

Seeing how cautious she was, Gu Xiao smiled and took the tool from her hand.

In fact, there is no need to be so careful. As soon as the thing is thrown away, the person will guess that he did it, but there is no evidence to punish him.

This was also a disguised way for him to show his attitude to that person. Don't use tricks like issuing an edict. He could even steal the imperial edict, and he didn't mind forcibly marrying a woman who had a chastity memorial.

A deep pit was dug in the courtyard, the imperial edict was burned to ashes, and then filled with soil.

After finishing everything, Gu Xiao washed his hands and said with a smile, "Do you feel at ease now?"

Xie Jiu nodded.

Feeling relieved, but more moved, she put her feet up and kissed him on the lips, "Thank you."

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered in her ear, "Thank you so much. The promise I made seven times was fulfilled today."

No need to thank the wine for an answer, his lips covered hers.

Xie Jiu thought, even if her waist was gone this time, she would be willing to do it.
