The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Helianjue's pupils shrank and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He stared at the thing that looked like a human head in the hands of the soldier, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

"Where's Mr. Lu?"

The soldier had already walked up to Helian Jue, knelt down on one knee, and raised the head above his head.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lu Xing's head is here."

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and all the civil and military officials were in an uproar.

Even though I had a vague suspicion in my mind when I saw the head, the moment I heard it with my own ears was no less than a thunderbolt.

Helianjue's steps were unsteady, he took two steps back and pointed at Gu Wangshu with trembling fingers.

"you you......"

Helianjue was so overly surprised that he didn't know how to express his feelings for a while. His eyes when he looked at Gu Wangshu were changing and complicated.

He came to the city gate happily, thinking that he could personally invite the great scholar of the time to the palace, but what he didn't expect to see was a human head. Such a huge turn of events was difficult for anyone to accept.

Lu Bohui, Lu Yusheng, Yun Yanfu, Gu Chengfeng and others were also frightened, but their first reaction was not to regret Lu Xing's death, but to worry about Gu Wangshu, for fear that the emperor would punish Gu Wangshu in anger. crime.

Four people stood out from among the officials at the same time.

"Your Majesty is happy and angry."

While begging for mercy, he blocked Gu Wangshu behind him in a protective posture.

Looking at their resolute backs, Gu Wangshu's heart felt soft, his nose was a little sore, and his eyes were astringent. It felt good to have a family, and it felt even better to do his best for his family.

Gu Wangshu suppressed his emotion and kept looking at Helian Jue without being humble or overbearing.

It took a lot of willpower for Helian Jue to calm down, but his unhappy mood was still evident.

"Gu Wangshu, I need an explanation."

From the kind "Xi Yue" before to the blunt "Gu Wangshu" now, it can be seen that Helian Jue is really angry.

"Lu Xingmu has no respect and inferiority. The following should be killed if he offends the superior!"

"It's normal for a capable person to have a weird temper. I can tolerate it, but you can't tolerate it?"

"It's not that I can't tolerate it, but the lessons of history tell me that we must kill."

Gu Wangshu's eyes were firm, like still water.

"Confucius governed Lu according to the Zhou rites, eradicating the old and introducing the new, and taking drastic measures."

"This move shocked the entire Lu State and attracted a lot of opposition. However, Confucius remained true to his original intention and was determined to govern Lu with benevolence and righteousness. As the saying goes, 'Know that something is impossible and do it.'"

Helianjue's expression softened slightly with Gu Wangshu's words, and everyone present listened with rapt attention.

Gu Wangshu continued:

"The Master has a saying: 'If we have different ways, we should not conspire against each other.' We must be firm in our own way and not be confused by outsiders."

“The Taigong’s killing of the Chinese scholar and Confucius’ killing of Shao Zhengmao were just a page in history. Today, we should learn from history and not make the same mistake again.”

"That's why I say Lu Xing should be killed. Killing him is not to vent personal anger, but because the social customs of Helian Kingdom cannot be harmed."

Everyone was thinking after hearing the words, and the scene was as silent as ink.

There was deathly silence in front of Yong'an City Gate. The lights around her illuminated Gu Wangshu's face. Her demeanor was calm from beginning to end.

Helianjue had a light on his back, and the wind blew the light, making his face flicker in and out, making it difficult to see his true emotions.

After a long time, Helianjue let out a long breath.

"That's it."

"Pull back to the palace."

Gu Chengfeng and others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the current saint is wise and kind. Otherwise, his family's Xiao Shuke would be in danger.

Before Helianjue could turn around, Gu Wangshu interrupted him.

"I sincerely request your Majesty to hang Lu Xing's head on the Yong'an Tower for public display as a warning to others."

Time seemed to have stood still, and Gu Chengfeng and others were sweating for Gu Wangshu.

After a long while, Helian Jue uttered two words.

"reason?"

Gu Wangshu knew that he would not get angry easily, let alone use his imperial power to deal with her easily.

It was precisely because she knew enough about Helian Jue that she was bold enough.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lu Xing's act of openly defying the imperial court has spread widely. Without severe punishment, it will be difficult to warn the world. If there are too many people like him, no one will be willing to be loyal to Helian. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to put his head on the city tower. , is despised by all people, and with his example, I believe that such an incident will not happen again."

"I don't agree, but what you said makes some sense, so let's do what you say."

After saying that, Helianjue turned around without hesitation and left with all the civil and military officials.

Although Jue Helian did not convict him, he agreed to Gu Wangshu's proposal, but Gu Wangshu knew that Jue Helian disapproved of her approach.

Not only Lord Helian disapproved, but all civil and military officials disapproved.

Even her grandfather, uncle, uncle and second uncle thought she was too risky.

"It's getting late, let's go home." Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Wangshu.

Gu Wangshu looked at the retreating figures of He Lianjue and others, and suddenly felt isolated and helpless. It felt a little bad that her actions were not understood. This reminded her of He Lianhuan in prison.

His Highness said he could guess what she would do.

Could he really guess it?

Would he also disapprove of her actions like Helian Jue?

Probably not. His Highness is such a smart person, and his thoughts are beyond the reach of others.

At this moment, Gu Wangshu really wanted to know what He Lianhuan was thinking.

"Xiao Shu?" Seeing Gu Wangshu in a daze, Gu Chengfeng reminded him.

Gu Wangshu came to his senses: "Second uncle, you go back to the house first, I'm going to the prison."

"To jail? What are you going to do?"

"Go see His Highness."

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

Lu Bohui: "..."

Lu Yusheng: "..."

Yun Yanfu: "..."

The four people stared at each other in confusion.

They have an antagonistic relationship with the second prince He Lianhuan, so why does Xiao Shu want to see the second prince?

Gu Wangshu noticed their doubts and didn't hide it.

"His Second Highness is extremely smart. Although he is against us, we can learn a lot from him. They say that Lu Xing is a great scholar in the world and has outstanding talents. However, in my opinion, Lu Xing's talent is not one thousandth of His Highness's. "

What Gu Wangshu said was very cryptic, but everyone present was smart and still understood the mystery.

Does Gu Wangshu mean that he hopes that His Highness will put aside his prejudices and help the Emperor consolidate the country?

is it possible?

Everyone had doubts, but they did not stop Gu Wangshu and gave her enough trust and security.

"Second uncle will accompany you."

"Grandpa will go with you."

"Uncle will accompany you too."

"Uncle will accompany you too."

Helianji couldn't help but feel sour in his heart when he saw this scene.

Gu Wangshuxin's black hands, cruel temper and bad temper were all spoiled by you.

Whose rich girl is as public as Gu Wangshu, and she is so eloquent that she can make out three points of reasoning even if she doesn't answer.

Helianji scolded Gu Wangshu in his mind, and then said:

"It just so happens that I also want to see the Second Emperor Brother, so let's go together."

In this way, a group of people went straight to the prison. When they were about to reach He Lianhuan's cell, Gu Chengfeng and others stopped in a dark corner. Only Gu Wangshu, Qiu Chi and He Lianji walked straight to the cell. .

At this moment, He Lianhuan was sitting at the desk reading a book. When he heard a noise, he turned around and met Gu Wangshu's eyes.
