Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

If he hadn't killed King Cheng himself, he would have thought that he was an extremely filial man.

Seeing him like this, the people in the city couldn't bear it.

Gu Liuchen knelt down in front of the Dengwen drum step by step. He lifted up his clothes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, and then stood up.

Along the way, Gu Liuchen's forehead had already become red and swollen.

His face was pale and his eyes were red, as if he had been crying for a long time.

His whole figure was shaky, looking as if he was so sad that he was about to faint.

The people who followed him all felt that Gu Liuchen was a filial and good man. Only those who followed him knew that in order to create such an illusion today, he did not hesitate to rub chili pepper on his eyes.

It was so red and swollen that I couldn't stop crying.

He looked at the people around him and bowed in vain: "I am the youngest son of King Cheng. Today my father died in an unknown way. The thief even hung his head on the city wall to humiliate him."

When Gu Liuchen said this, he choked up just right, as if he couldn't go on.

He tilted his head and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, took a deep breath to calm down before speaking again: "My father has to be strong throughout his life. As his child, I just want to seek justice for him."

His behavior made many soft-hearted women shed tears.

He turned around and took off the drumstick and hit the drum head hard.

One after another.

This matter had been reported for a long time. The other party was the son of King Cheng, and the deceased was King Cheng. Ordinary officials did not dare to get involved. Finally, the matter was handed over to Zhou Jingxuan.

Zhou Jingxuan naturally heard about it, and when he heard that Gu Liuchen went to play the drum, he frowned.

It stands to reason that you have to die after becoming a king, so why did Gu Liuchen come from the fiefdom?

And he didn't have much impression of Gu Liuchen. He only remembered that he always stood behind Gu Zhaoyang with his waist hunched over like a slave.

It's rare to see him talking, and his behavior today is indeed a bit wrong.

But it's not unreasonable. His father is dead and he can't avenge him, so he can only use this method.

But shouldn't Gu Zhaoyang do these things?

Speaking of which, Gu Liuchen can be regarded as Zhou Jingxuan's cousin.

But why didn't he inherit the surname Zhou?

There is a reason for this. When Zhou Yaocheng failed to seize the throne, he was driven to the fiefdom. The late emperor was already a little afraid of Zhou Yaocheng. He could not kill Zhou Yaocheng, but he issued an imperial edict at that time. He spared Zhou Yaocheng's life, but Zhou Yaocheng's future The heirs were not allowed to have the surname Zhou. After Zhou Yaocheng's death, his heirs would no longer be in charge of the fiefdom.

At that time, Zhou Yaocheng had no choice but to compromise, so the sons he gave birth to later all had the surname of the princess, and all had the same surname of Gu.

From now on, they will no longer belong to the royal family.

Zhou Jingxuan waved his hand: "Go and invite Gu Liuchen over."

Zhou Liuchen was invited to be in front of Zhou Jingxuan. He immediately knelt down in front of Zhou Jingxuan with a pale face. He didn't say anything, but kept kowtowing. Soon his forehead was dripping with blood.

Zhou Jingxuan stepped forward and helped Gu Liuchen up: "My cousin, you don't have to be like this."

There was fear in Gu Liuchen's eyes: "I, my status is not worthy of you, Your Majesty, to call me your cousin."

Gu Liuchen was timid and timid, but he was very sympathetic to his appearance outside.

Zhou Jingxuan said quickly: "My cousin, you don't have to be like this. Uncle Cheng Wang is the brother of the late emperor."

"Although it was unpleasant at the time, blood is thicker than water."

Zhou Jingxuan had no airs at this time and looked like a generous brother.

When Gu Liuchen saw him mentioning becoming a king, his eyes suddenly turned red again. He tried to kneel down again but was pulled back by Zhou Jingxuan. His voice was trembling: "My lord, please help me find and kill me." My father’s murderer!”

"There are also those who harmed my brother."

As he said this, his shoulders kept shaking, as if he was trying to control his emotions.

Zhou Jingxuan's eyes flashed and he pretended to be surprised: "Why did something happen to cousin Zhaoyang?"

Gu Liuchen nodded: "If something hadn't happened to my brother, I wouldn't be like this. My brother is responsible for everything, so there's no use for a waste like me."

"With my brother's ability, the murderer will be found out soon, and I..."

"I can only do it in such a shameful way."

Zhou Jingxuan had a look of grief and anger on his face: "Who is so bold? Cousin Liu Chen, don't be impatient. Tell me slowly what's going to happen!"

Gu Liuchen nodded, took a deep breath, and then began to speak slowly: "Some time ago, my father heard that His Majesty was ill, so he was worried and hurried to the capital."

As soon as Gu Liuchen said these words, Zhou Jingxuan knew very well why King Cheng came to the capital because of Jing Han's worries. He clearly wanted to fish in troubled waters!

The ambition of a wolf is well known to everyone.

But he didn't show it, he just said softly: "It's a pity that Uncle Wang became the king."

Gu Liuchen glanced at Zhou Jingxuan and continued: "Not long after my father left, a guest came to my eldest brother's house to seek refuge."

"Eldest brother is a person who cherishes talents. When he saw that the person was really talented, he kept him."

"But it was precisely because of this move that my eldest brother almost died!"

Gu Liuchen looked distressed, as if he wished he could take the punishment on Gu Zhaoyang's behalf.

But Zhou Jingxuan had some doubts about Gu Liuchen.

As far as he knew, Gu Liuchen had the same status as a slave behind Gu Zhaoyang. They were obviously brothers, but their treatment was so different.

He didn't believe that Gu Liuchen didn't have any complaints in his heart.

If this is the case, Gu Liuchen is quite tolerant.

Gu Liuchen didn't know what Zhou Jingxuan was thinking. He continued: "That guest is a vicious and bad person. He pretended to be a good person in front of his elder brother at the beginning."

"But soon he showed his true colors. That night, my elder brother discussed things with him in the study all night long."

"The next day, the servant in the mansion saw my eldest brother lying on the ground covered in blood."

"And the guest has long since disappeared."

Gu Liuchen turned his head and wiped his tears and choked out, "My eldest brother's tongue was cut off by him and thrown to the ground, and the bones of his hands and legs were broken by him."

"I can't understand why there are such vicious people in the world. My eldest brother is so kind to him, and he repays him like this."

He seemed to have an emotional breakdown and stopped. Zhou Jingxuan sighed and handed over the tea: "Cousin Liu Chen, drink some hot tea first."

"Things have happened. We have to gather our emotions and catch these evildoers as soon as possible."

Gu Liuchen took the tea in panic and took a sip before nodding heavily: "Your Majesty, you are right!"

"After my eldest brother's accident, I was already a useless person. I couldn't think of anyone else except my father, so I hurried to the city."

"Obviously last night I arrived in the capital and paid my respects to my father. At that time, my father was still very energetic. After I told him about my eldest brother, he angrily said that he would avenge him!"

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."
