Rebirth of marriage

Cao Zhicheng found another old man who had served in Dali Temple.

According to the old man's statement, Lao Wenshu and Cao Laosan had an affair.

Cao's party insisted that since the two had a feud in the past, the record of the conversation between Cao Laosan and the former minister of Dali Temple provided by the old document was most likely left by the old document to frame Cao Laosan.

As for the banknote, since the old clerk was determined to frame Cao Laosan, he had a way to get the banknote in his hands, so they requested that the case be re-tried.

"The Emperor agreed." Lou Qi looked at Gu Xiao pityingly.

Knowing the grudge between Gu Xiao and the Cao family, the emperor actually allowed Cao's party to overturn the result of his trial. With such a father, Gu Xiao is quite pitiful.

Gu Xiao pursed his lips. For some reason, he didn't feel surprised. Maybe he was used to that person disappointing him again and again.

He looked at Lou Qi and said, "Please do me a favor, your father, to find out who the girl the Cao family sent to the palace yesterday was."

Prince Gong was favored by the late emperor, so he must have his own people in the palace, so he would be able to investigate much faster.

Lou Qi agreed without thinking. He stepped on the stirrups and was about to get on his horse and go back to find his father.

The follower pulled him hard and looked at Gu Xiao, "That woman looks almost exactly the same as the late Concubine Yun. Her name is Caiwei."

Caiwei, Qi Yunwei.

Even the names were similar. Gu Xiao's back tensed up and his face gradually turned pale.

Seeing him like this, Dali couldn't bear to continue talking. He sighed deeply in his heart. Being a Black Feather Guard for a lifetime has already hardened his heart. Now that he is getting old, he actually softened his heart. He gritted his teeth and continued, "What the Cao family said This woman is prepared for Cao Laosan’s useless son.”

The Cao family is really nothing. They killed Concubine Yun, but they also raised a woman similar to Concubine Yun, and she was presented to the emperor at this time.

If the emperor still has feelings for Concubine Yun, he will definitely keep Caiwei who is similar to her and let her be Concubine Yun's substitute.

Even if the emperor no longer has Concubine Yun in his heart and will not keep Caiwei in the palace, the Cao family will also think of ways to force the emperor to keep Caiwei. The Cao family has worked hard to raise such a person, isn't it just for the sake of it? To deal with the emperor.

After all, men know men better. Cao Shoufu was sure that the emperor had Concubine Yun in his heart, so he succeeded. If the emperor wanted to pick Wei, he had to keep Cao Laosan alive. This was their tacit agreement.

I felt sorry for King Xiao, and Dali sighed secretly in his heart, "The words have been brought, let's go back first."

Gu Xiao nodded slightly, "Thank you for letting me know."

Lou Qi said, "I'll let you know when there's news."

He really didn't know how to comfort Gu Xiao. He felt that he was much worse off than himself, so he couldn't bear to look at him, so he turned around and jumped on the horse, and followed Dali to ride back to the city.

Gu Xiao watched the two disappearing figures, standing still, with neither sadness nor joy in their expressions, but the hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched.

After a long time, he turned around and looked at Xie Jiu, "Follow the original plan and let's go."

After that, he persistently thanked the wine and got into the carriage.

Mo Li Mo Qi looked at each other, with both distress and resentment in his eyes.

After getting on the carriage, Gu Xiao spoke, but in a soothing way, he said, "Don't worry, if King Golden Horn has no son to command the snakes, I will kill him myself."

The word "kill" penetrated from his mouth wrapped in anger.

"Okay." Xie Jiu held his hand and rested his head on his shoulder, feeling very sour in his heart.

Once again, between the Cao family and Gu Xiao, the emperor chose the Cao family. Xie Jiu felt panicked. The thoughts of murder and arson eroded her brain like weeds, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what.

For the sake of the woman named Caiwei, the emperor allowed the Cao family to overturn even the case he personally tried. For the sake of a woman, the emperor gave up his face. This shows how much he will pamper her.

Qi Yunwei was framed for impurity, abandoned by her husband, and finally went crazy and committed suicide. However, her replacement enjoyed the emperor's favor. This made Gu Xiao, who witnessed her mother's tragic death, feel extremely embarrassed.

The emperor's affection is disgusting.

Damn it.

The emperor deserves to die and the Cao family deserves to die.

Xie Jiu was filled with murderous intentions and her thoughts were so strong that the Golden Horned King wrapped around her wrists began to twist uneasily.

Its movement made Xie Jiu's eyes light up, and she hugged Gu Xiao's arm, "A Xiao, no matter what path you want to take, I will always be by your side."

Her warm body brought Gu Xiao out of his thoughts. He looked down at Xie Jiu and said, "We will light a few more everlasting lamps for your father and mother later."

He thanked them for saving Jiu'er, and even more thanked Yun Dai for sacrificing her own life for Xie Jiu's rebirth. No matter how many hardships and ups and downs she had experienced, God had treated her favorably by having her by his side.

Fortunately, she is by my side.

Gu Xiao pulled the person into his arms, as if he was holding the whole world.

in the palace.

After the emperor came down from court, he returned to the imperial study.

For a long time, he did not read a single piece of the book. Finally, he threw the book aside angrily, got up and walked to his bedroom.

Before going to court, on the way to Qinzheng Palace, he met Caiwei who was about to leave the palace.

She was wearing a crimson dress, covered with morning light. Her flawless face had a faint morning mist, shining brightly in the morning light.

Back then, he and Qiu Chengfeng rescued Qi Yunwei. They were invited to watch the sunrise that day, and she rushed to the temple early to pray for her family. She was also dressed in a crimson dress and smiled brightly at him.

He stamped his feet and watched the woman leave quietly. Even her walking posture was exactly the same as Yun Wei's.

He knew that this woman was not a distant relative of the Cao family, and that she did not really want to leave the palace when she appeared here so early. Everything was just a show he had seen.

But he watched that familiar figure go away, as if he was watching Yun Wei leave him. The heartache of seeing Yun Wei's body that day came back again, and he finally ordered Zhao Debao to go to Fengyi Palace.

Caiwei was placed in the Lan Yue Pavilion in the harem by the queen, where his concubines lived.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a rest?" Zhao Debao asked thoughtfully when he saw the emperor walking around irritably in the palace with his hands behind his back.

He was standing guard in front of the dragon bed last night, knowing clearly that the emperor barely slept all night, and he also knew exactly why, but the master's decision was not something that he, a slave, could comment on.

All he can hope for is that his master is in good health and that he will live for a few more years.

The emperor turned to look at him, "De Bao, will Xiao'er blame me?"

No wonder it’s strange, haven’t you already made your choice?

Zhao Debao sighed in his heart and said respectfully, "Only a slave can guess His Highness's thoughts. However, our Highness is smart and must know your difficulties."

The emperor seemed to be comforted and continued, "De Bao, I failed to protect Yun Wei, and I can no longer watch Cai Wei being trampled by the Cao family. The queen's so-called promise of her to a boy from the Cao family is all an excuse.

If I don't let go and keep her today, she will become a plaything of men tomorrow. Debao, I can't tolerate Yunwei's face being tainted by other men. There will be a chance after killing the Cao family, and there will be. "

Zhao Debao listened quietly and did not dare to speak. He knew very well that the emperor did not really say these words to him. He was trying his best to convince himself.

Sure enough, after a while, the emperor came to the Moon Pavilion.

Zhao Debao stood guard outside the door, listening to the familiar voices in the room, and whispered to the palace maids and eunuchs to prepare hot water.

His Majesty favors women during the day, which has never happened since he ascended the throne.

But once upon a time in Prince Xian's Mansion, His Majesty was so in love with Princess Xian that he couldn't restrain himself even during the day. Later, when His Highness Prince Xiao was born, Princess Xian was worried that she would teach the child bad things, so she didn't allow His Majesty to act recklessly.

Those few years were really good. Although the palace was a little poor, and he, the eunuch beside the prince, was often looked down upon by other chamberlains, he felt at ease.

The gasping sound of the woman in the room reached Zhao Debao's ears through the crack in the door. He took two steps forward. Even if the former Princess Xian was entangled by His Majesty, she would not be so dissolute.

A counterfeit is always a counterfeit.

He looked up at the sky, and the dazzling sun hurt his eyes. Tears flashed in his eyes. In the white light, he seemed to see the gentle woman smiling at him again, "Debao, take care of your house." Your Majesty."

"De Bao, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet. Come and sit with us."

"Debao..."

He grew up in the palace. Eunuchs like them were no different in the eyes of their masters, especially if they followed an unfavored master. No one ever treated them as human beings. But in those years, He was a human being for once.

Who doesn't want to be a human being who walks on two feet?

Zhao Debao faced the scorching sun and closed his eyes.
