The general was a starlet

Gu Zining hanged himself in prison without leaving a single word. The empress wept fainted in Fengluan Hall, and Gu Aotian buried her as a prince.

The people in the imperial city were discussing a lot, no one knew why His Highness the Crown Prince died suddenly, but more, they were discussing that the next person to live in the East Palace would be the prince.

Su Wanxi bored herself in the room. He didn't know why Gu Zining would hang himself. When he was leaving, Gu Zining also said that even though the road to exile was hard, he had no complaints.He didn't believe that Gu Zining would commit suicide, and at the same time he felt deep fear. If Gu Zining didn't commit suicide, who would it be?

He firmly believed that it would not be Gu Ziming. After all, Gu Ziming's goal of bringing down the prince had already been achieved. He would not want to kill him. Could it be Gu Zifeng?If it was really him, would there be another bloodbath between him and Gu Ziming?

...

Originally, the day of Gu Zining's burial was the day when Shen Changying came back from the palace, but for some reason, Shen Changying had to stay a few more days, so half a month after Gu Zining's death, Su Wanxi went to the palace to pick Shen Changying home, passing by the East Palace At that time, I saw the empress empress walking out with red eyes.

Su Wanxi met the queen at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. At that time, she was radiant and shining, with a dignified posture, but now the queen, with a pale and haggard face, was supported by servants weakly. She, just An ordinary woman who lost her beloved son.

He saluted, the queen looked at him and asked, "It was Gu Ziming who killed Ning'er, do you know?"

Su Wanxi raised her head in horror, and said hastily, "Your Majesty, it's definitely not Ziming."

The queen smiled sadly, just like Gu Zining was in prison, and shook her head in disappointment, she said: "Even if Gu Ziming kills Ning'er, he won't care, he won't care... "

After finishing speaking, the queen was supported to go away. Su Wanxi kept looking at the back of the queen going away, feeling horrified in her heart. If the queen really thought it was Gu Ziming, wouldn't Gu Ziming be in a very dangerous situation?

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the guilt towards Gu Zining. He hurried to the Mingxi Palace, and seeing no one was guarding the door, he walked in by himself and came to the door of Gu Zining's bedroom. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he Hear voices coming from inside.

"When Gu Zining died, did he say anything?"

It was Gu Ziming's voice, Su Wanxi's hand that was about to knock on the door stopped in mid-air, and held her breath.

"No, I did it very simply, and the general said, Gu Zifeng will be next."

"You go out first."

Gu Ziming opened the door and was taken aback by Su Wanxi who was standing in front of the door.

Su Wanxi looked at him in dismay, with disappointment and bewilderment in her eyes, a sharp pain came from the back of her neck, Su Wanxi immediately fainted in Gu Ziming's arms.

"Who told you to hit him?" Gu Ziming glared at Rong Qichen and shouted loudly.

Rong Qichen was the person who was talking to him in the room just now, and he was the personal guard of the Rong family. It was Rong Qichen who had been secretly protecting Gu Ziming for so many years.

"He heard us talking, do you want me?" Rong Qichen made a killing gesture.

Gu Ziming supported Su Wanxi, kicked him over, and said fiercely: "If Su Wanxi loses a hair, I will ask you to be buried with Gu Zining. Don't tell anyone what happened today."

Rong Qichen got up and wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, he felt that his bones were almost broken.

Gu Ziming carried Su Wanxi to the bed, checked the scars on the back of his neck, and it turned out that there was nothing serious.

Looking at Su Wanxi's tightly closed eyes, with the pain before coma still on his face, Gu Ziming reached out to smooth his frowning eyebrows and straightened his somewhat messy hair. At this moment, Gu Ziming suddenly wished that Su Wanxi Just fell asleep like this, and fell asleep next to him.

In this way, Su Wanxi would not think about other people, such as Gu Zining, Shen Changying, he would no longer have to be jealous, and he would not have to stare at him laughing with other people.

Su Qinglin had told him before that after Shen Changying returned home, they were going to set off for Guanzhou. When Gu Ziming heard the news, he hadn't slept all night, and it would be even more difficult to see people who were close to each other in the future.

Gu Ziming took out a jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant glowed faintly like a flame. Gu Ziming put it in Su Wanxi's sleeve pocket. Guanzhou was very cold, and it was said that people would feel cool in summer. Jade pendants can be used to keep people warm, and will change their own temperature with the temperature of the human body. It is a rare good thing in a century.

This was Rong Yingjie's birth gift that Rong Yingjie brought back from a far away place when he was about to be born, and it was also the only thing left to him by his uncle who had never met.

Su Wanxi moved slightly, Gu Ziming thought he was about to wake up, but found that he was just like a nightmare, and sweat oozes from his forehead, Gu Ziming reached out to wipe off the beads of sweat, the touch between his fingers made Gu Ziming's body and mind tense, he Swallowing, seeing that Su Wanxi didn't respond, she gradually became more courageous.

Swipe across his eyebrows, and then follow his nose, until he touched his cinnabar lips, Gu Ziming couldn't hold back, leaned down, covered the pastry that he wanted to taste a long time ago with his lips, and then Standing up in panic like something was wrong, he patted his face vigorously.

Turning his head to look again, Su Wanxi didn't wake up, nor did he react. He took a long breath to calm himself down, and quickly walked out of the room. If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to control himself.

When she came back, Su Wanxi had already woken up, sitting on the edge of the bed, with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.

"Since you're awake, let's go." Gu Ziming sat on the stool calmly and poured himself a cup of tea.

"why?"

Gu Ziming was inexplicably asked, "Aren't you still going to pick up your brother home?"

"I asked you why?" Su Wanxi raised her head and looked at Gu Ziming angrily.

Only then did Gu Ziming understand, "If you don't understand royal matters, don't get involved."

Su Wanxi stood up slowly, a little bit like Gu Ziming walking over, he reached out and grabbed Gu Ziming's lapel, and asked again: "Why?"

Gu Ziming suddenly felt aggrieved, he threw Su Wanxi away vigorously, and said loudly: "Is it for you? Because you don't have to mention Gu Zining in front of me, and because you don't have to show me how good your Gu Zining is over and over again. Is that enough? I just want his life, just to make him disappear forever, can you control it?"

Su Wanxi looked at him in surprise. Gu Ziming didn't give him a chance to speak. He picked up Su Wanxi who was lying on the ground, and said word by word: "You ask me why? Then let me ask you, where am I not as good as you?" Gu Zining? Tell me."

"You are not as good as him, no..." Su Wanxi wanted to explain, but Gu Ziming, who was furious, could listen.

"Then tell me, who is the person I'm not as good as? At the poolside, who was the person you kept saying you liked? Who was the newlywed you wished for when you put the lanterns on? Are you drunk?" Who was that person who shouted at the time?" Gu Ziming shook Su Wanxi.

What he said made Su Wanxi a little at a loss, how would he tell him, who is that person?

"Su Wanxi, from the beginning, I was a stand-in, right? Let me ask you, why?" Su Wanxi was terrified by his beast-like eyes, he had never seen this face before, had such an expression .

Su Wanxi broke away from Gu Ziming's hand in horror, he stepped back step by step, looked at Gu Ziming in disbelief, he didn't understand, that Gu Ziming who would dodge him because of shyness, that Gu Ziming who would be angry and cry in front of him, Why did Gu Ziming, who would help him adjust the atmosphere at the dinner table, look so scary.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ziming regained his usual calmness. He said flatly, "Su Wanxi, let's go. After we go to Guanzhou, we will never see each other again."

Su Wanxi walked to the door, turned her back to Gu Ziming, and said, "I won't tell anyone about this, from now on, don't hurt anyone again."

Just as Su Wanxi was about to open the door, a piece of jade pendant fell out of his sleeve. He picked it up, and Gu Ziming behind him said, "Chi Yanyu, it's for senior brother. Guanzhou is too cold, so give it to him for me."

Su Wanxi's hand holding the jade pendant tightened a bit. Instead of looking back at Gu Ziming's expression, he opened the door and walked out in the direction of the Hall of Wind Whispers.

After he left, Gu Ziming smashed all the things on the bright surface. Eunuch Qi who came over looked at him in panic. After venting, Gu Ziming said: "Elder-in-law, give me the knee pads that I gave to my master and brother." When you arrive at the Su residence, just say, I won't see them off tomorrow."

Eunuch Qi agreed, but he didn't ask anything. Gu Ziming has been like this since he was a child. He always keeps everything in his heart. No matter how much wronged he suffers, he will only resolve it by himself. Eunuch Qi is a little distressed, but he can do something about it nothing.

After a while, Rong Qichen came back, saw the mess, hurriedly checked if Gu Ziming was injured, but Gu Ziming said to him: "Tell grandpa, I'm still the same as before, I don't want to fight for the crown prince, and you, if you If something like Gu Zining happens again, I'll kill you first, remember?"

Rong Qichen said yes and left in a hurry.

Finally, Gu Ziming was the only one left in the quiet bedroom. He walked through the mess, collapsed on the bed, and buried himself in the quilt.

Half a month ago, when he had just returned from the prison, before he had a sip of water, he heard Eunuch Qi come over and tell him that Gu Zining committed suicide in the prison.

At first he didn't believe it, but when Gu Zining's body really appeared in front of him, he confirmed that Gu Zining was really dead, but he didn't believe that Gu Zining would commit suicide, escape from prison was almost the same, he ran to ask Rong Xiaoran, as expected, yes He let Rong Qichen sneak into the dungeon and secretly assassinate him.

But what can he do?You can't drag your grandfather to complain to your father, can you?

The next day, Gu Aotian called him away and asked him if Gu Zining's death had anything to do with him, Gu Ziming said it wasn't him, Gu Aotian smiled and said: "It's fine if it's not you, it's fine if it's not you."

On the third day, Gu Zifeng came to ask him the same question, and finally Gu Zifeng said: "I believe it's not you, but you can't stop the Rong family, can you?"

He thought that Su Wanxi would at least ask him if it was you, but he didn't expect that his first question would be why.
