emperor of a dynasty

"You are that thief?!" Xue Xiaojie exclaimed.

"Liangshang gentleman." Yun Yang retorted with a smile, "I'm not a thief."

"What did you take?" Xue Xiaojie asked urgently, "You don't want to die, do you? How dare you come to the General's Mansion to steal things at this time?! Money is more important than life!"

Compared with Xue Xiaojie's anxious expression, Yun Yang looked much calmer. After hearing what Xue Xiaojie said, she tilted her head in a good mood, with a calm expression on her face, as if to her, the big Stealing something from the General's Mansion is no big deal, "I took something that shouldn't be in the General's Mansion."

What she said was "Still in the General's Mansion" instead of "In the General's Mansion". Although there is only a one-word difference, the meanings are very different. It's just that Xue Xiaojie, who has always been smart at this time, is worried that she will be discovered as a thief. , So I didn't pay attention to what the other party said specifically, but even if she did, based on what Yun Yang said in the past that Xue Xiaojie couldn't understand, she probably wouldn't think too deeply.

Even if she doesn't think about it, it's not an important matter. Xue Xiaojie only knows that if Yun Yang is discovered at this time, she will definitely not be able to survive. Terrible means, thinking of this, Xue Xiaojie became even more worried, and stepped forward to push Yun Yang to the outside, "I don't care what you took, now you go quickly! If you don't go, it will be too late if someone finds out." Already!"

Yun Yang was pushed by her to walk outside the mourning hall. After hearing her words, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you worried about me?"

Xue Xiaojie, who was said to be the center, paused, and said back, "I'm afraid you will hurt me!"

"Don't worry, I'll get you out." Yun Yang turned her head and said seriously to Xue Xiaojie, but right now Xue Xiaojie couldn't listen to her words, so she just coped, "Okay, okay..."

"Then goodbye?" Yun Yang waved her hand, signaling Xue Xiaojie to come closer, Xue Xiaojie didn't understand, but she moved closer, and then she heard Yun Yang's nice voice whispering in her ear, "If Uncle Gong wants you If you are buried as a martyr, you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Yan Wuwei."

Xue Xiaojie was stunned, her mind went blank, and a word popped out: Sacrifice?

Would Gongshuji want her to be buried with Gongshucheng? !

Is she crazy or is the father-in-law crazy? !

When she came back to her senses, Yun Yang had quietly disappeared into the yard. Seeing that Yun Yang had really left, Xue Xiaojie was relieved, but the two words in Yun Yang's last sentence But the word kept lingering in her mind, she turned around in a daze, looked at the black coffin of her father-in-law Cheng who was looming under the candlelight, and thought, she was going to be buried for this person?A dignified daughter of a second-rank Shangshu's concubine ended up being buried by a dead man? !

Accompanied by this idea came great unwillingness, Xue Xiaojie was not reconciled, she was not reconciled that she had resigned herself to marrying Uncle Cheng and ruined her whole life, and now at the end, Uncle Cheng died, she thought that she was the most She's just a widow who can't remarry, and she didn't expect to be buried for him?

Xue Xiaojie was unwilling, but she had no way to resist. That night she stood guard in front of Gongshu Cheng's spirit, her head was muddled, and she didn't know what she was thinking. At dawn the next day, the servant girl came to ask her to eat. Zhang's pale face was still frightened, "Young madam... what's wrong with you?"

Xue Xiaojie was still thinking about the burial, when she was suddenly called out by the maid, she was still a little lost, and she didn't recover, "I...I'm fine."

The servant girl didn't dare to ask any more questions. At this moment, the entire General's Mansion was in a mess, and no one had the extra thought to pay attention to anyone—except Mr. Liu, the concubine of Uncle Ji.

Mrs. Liu only entered the door before the death of Gongshuji's main wife. Because she is a concubine, she is naturally not qualified to accompany Gongshuji to worship the ancestors this time, but Gongshuji trusts her very much. , so before leaving, I explained one thing to her.

One thing about Xue Xiaojie.

Xue Xiaojie guarded the spirit of Uncle Cheng for three whole days. She thought she would see him after the vigil ended. She wanted to ask or test him...to see if he was real. She had the intention to bury his short-lived son, but she waited until the day after the vigil ended, but Gong Shuji hadn't returned yet. The messenger came to report that the general had met him in the Yuqing Hall. For the Taoist priest who returned from traveling abroad, because of the death of Uncle Cheng, he asked the Taoist priest to choose a time for Gongshucheng to be buried, and at the same time, the young man went to Mrs. Liu to say something.

At noon, Xue Xiaojie was called to Mrs. Liu's place. Xue Xiaojie didn't want to go at first, but she was very exhausted after guarding uncle Cheng for three days, but Mr. Ji always loved Mrs. Liu more. There is no mother-in-law in the house, and Liu is also Xue Xiaojie's half-mother-in-law. It is impossible not to be afraid, but after going there, Xue Xiaojie found out that there was a doctor there, and Xue Xiaojie's heart sank.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Liu first put on a look of concern for the younger generation, pulled Xue Xiaojie and said a few words to comfort her, the new widow, then changed the subject, Mrs. Liu said, "You have guarded for the son. The three-day spirit must be unbearable to the bones, this is the famous Dr. Li in the capital, let him feel your pulse, don't hurt your body unconsciously."

If Yun Yang hadn't come to see her or say those things to her last night, maybe Xue Xiaojie wouldn't be so vigilant at this time, but it was Yun Yang's last sentence yesterday that reminded her that Uncle Ji is not a kind person. It is not impossible for Gong Shuji to do such a thing as burial.

I think so, but on the surface Xue Xiaojie must not put on a disobedient look, since Mrs. Liu wants to give her a pulse, then she has to cooperate and act out the scene.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xue Xiaojie bowed, and then stretched out her right hand.

Xue Xiaojie looked at Mrs. Liu who was pretending to be kind, and then looked at Dr. Li who was taking her pulse calmly. Her eyes sank, and she finally understood what Mrs. Liu and Uncle Ji were planning.

After going to Mrs. Liu's house, Xue Xiaojie went back to her own room. Caiyun, the close maid, was always depressed when she saw her coming back. After entering the room, she asked her, "What's wrong, Young Madam?"

Xue Xiaojie sat on the chair and stared at the ground fixedly, without speaking, her distraught appearance really frightened Caiyun, "Young madam? Young madam?!"

"Caiyun..." After a while, Xue Xiaojie called out to her in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, will I be buried for Uncle Cheng?"

Caiyun was stunned, buried?

She seemed a little disbelieving, "Young Madam...you, what did you say?"

Xue Xiaojie finally raised her eyes from the ground, looked at Caiyun, and said firmly, "Mrs. Liu asked a doctor to cut my pulse, saying that he wanted to see if my body has been hurt these few days while guarding the spirit."

"Yeah... Aunt Liu is kind..." Xue Xiaojie looked at her silently, Caiyun suddenly stopped what she wanted to say, yes, the Liu family has always disliked their young lady, how could it suddenly happen this time so kind?

"Young...Young Madam?"

Xue Xiaojie touched her abdomen expressionlessly, and said, "They want to see if there is any uncle Cheng's child in my stomach."

Caiyun was stunned and said, "But... but my aunt hasn't been in your room for more than half a year..." Even Caiyun, who has always been stupid, understood when he said this, "Aunt Liu wants to let you in case you don't have children. you--"

Xue Xiaojie stared at her, and Caiyun swallowed the rest of her words.

"What... what should I do, Young Madam?" Caiyun lost her mind for a while, and could only wipe away her tears and said, "You, you are not yet on Double Ten!"

Xue Xiaojie looked at the teacup on her desk expressionlessly, without speaking.

"Master? Yes!" Caiyun suddenly remembered, stepped forward and grabbed Xue Xiaojie's arm and said, "Miss! We can find Master! Master can save you..." As she spoke, she saw Xue Xiaojie's pretty face Bit by bit the cold went down.

"What's the use of looking for him." Xue Xiaojie said flatly, "It's useless."

Seeing her like this, Caiyun didn't know what to say for a while.

The room fell silent for a while, and after a long time, it seemed like only a moment later, Caiyun heard Xue Xiaojie say, "Help me deliver a message to someone."

Caiyun was stunned for a moment when she saw Xue Xiaojie's slowly becoming firm expression. She seemed to have forgotten that the young lady she was a long time ago was also a high-spirited girl in the house.

"Go to the prime minister's mansion and tell Yan Wuwei that I have evidence of Gong Shuji's rebellion."

...

What happened in the capital that day became more and more lively. The people in the capital only knew that in the morning, Gu Ming, who killed the only son of the general, Uncle Cheng, with a sword a few days ago, was arrested when he was transferred to the Ministry of Justice. The man intercepted the prison car and got off the dead hand, but he was not killed by the killers who appeared suddenly, but it was in broad daylight that the prisoner was intercepted and killed at the foot of the emperor. A pot of it.Wang Shang was furious when he heard about this when he was reviewing papers in the Imperial Study Room in the morning, so he asked someone to call the Jingzhaoyi Mansion and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to him on the spot.

Regarding the killing of the prison car, there are many rumors in the outside world. Some say that General Gong Shuji sent someone to intercept and kill Gu Ming because of his resentment towards Gu Ming, while others say that someone is using the name of General Gong Shuji. No. It's an unruly thing for laymen, and some people say that there are spies in the royal capital who are messing around.However, how did the common people spread rumors that when such a thing happened, the captain who was in charge of guarding the capital would not be able to get anything good, and the general who was on duty was punished by the king that day. It's over, but I didn't expect that at noon, Gu Ming's wife, Princess Qinghe, in full view of everyone, would kneel outside the gate of the palace and shout for grievances, saying that her husband Gu Ming was innocent.

No one could tell whether Gu Ming was guilty or not, but the common people really discussed Qinghe County Lord's kneeling and shouting for grievances. Qinghe County Lord is a member of the royal family no matter what. Therefore, the sum of all these matters is enough for the people of the capital to discuss. The discussion did not come to a conclusion that day, and the General’s Mansion, which was on the cusp of the storm, suddenly spread the news that the General’s Mansion had left. water.
