The general was a starlet

The imperial guards wanted to search for Rong Xiaoran's whereabouts in the city, but Gu Ziming refused. When he arrived at the empty Rong Mansion, he understood that everything was wrong. The assassination of Miao Zan was just a cover. The person who is killed is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Gu Ziming ran back to the palace like crazy, but there was no movement in the palace, even a little maid was secretly meeting with the guards, he rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was silence in front of the hall, Bai Jiu's blood on the ground was wiped clean .

But in front of the gate of the palace, there were no guards on duty and Eunuch Zhang, who ran in with the guards, and it was his mother and concubine who caught his eye.

"Mother, don't do anything stupid."

A trace of doubt flashed in Rong Chenyan's eyes, but she soon returned to normal. She snorted softly, "I can't point to you, so I have to do it myself."

Eunuch Zhang is holding a dagger in his hand, pointing at the most vulnerable part of Gu Aotian's neck, he is waiting for Concubine Rong's order, but he doesn't know whether to put the dagger back into the scabbard, or stab it into the body of the master who has served for more than 20 years .

Bai Shuang confronted a group of imperial guards and the people brought by Rong Chenyan, but she didn't dare to get close.

"Aotian, as long as you write down the imperial decree, pass the throne to Ming'er, and make my father the regent, then we will still be like before, I play the piano, you dance the sword, I drink with you, and you chant poems with me, Aotian, promise me, okay?"

Gu Ziming looked at his concubine mother. He didn't know how many years he hadn't heard such a soft voice from concubine mother. When it came to her at the end, her eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance. Gu Ziming knew that this was her concubine mother. The life I have always yearned for.

"Mother Concubine, why don't you do this? Let's talk if we have something to say." Gu Ziming moved closer to Rong Chenyan, trying to block the line of sight between Eunuch Zhang and Rong Chenyan.

Bai Shuang seemed to have understood Gu Ziming's intentions, and he quietly moved towards Eunuch Zhang.

Rong Chenyan looked at her son, she hadn't looked at him properly for many years.

"Gu Ziming, your surname has always been Gu."

The cold mother and concubine in front of Gu Ziming, he knew that tonight's mother and concubine was determined to die, why?Concubine mother, why?Is the throne so important...

"Gu Aotian, you promised me that you would give the best to our son and me, but in the end, you can't do anything except blindly suppress."

"Yan'er, if Yingjie didn't save me and Qinglin back then, if I was the one who died, then what would you do?" Gu Aotian seemed to have not heard what Rong Chenyan said before, he was like a most ordinary man, watching with his beloved wife.

Rong Chenyan was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed out loud, so desolate that people wanted to embrace her, "Aotian, there is no if in this world."

With a bang, Zhang Gonggong fell down, and the dagger drew a blood mark on Gu Aotian's neck. Rong Chenyan was startled, pulled out the sword of the guard beside him, and stabbed at Gu Aotian who had never moved. Thinking, Rong Chenyan rushed over directly.

Rong Chenyan's sword finally stopped in front of Gu Aotian's eyes, Gu Aotian looked at her, even though it had been more than 20 years, the woman in front of him was still so beautiful, so lovable, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and there was reluctance in her eyes. ..

"Mother Concubine!" Gu Ziming caught the fallen Rong Chenyan, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, mixed with her blood, and stained on Gu Ziming's lapel.

A shout came from outside the hall, it was Rong Xiaoran.

Gu Ziming walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with Rong Chenyan's body in his arms. His most beloved grandfather was leading a group of soldiers to surround his father's gate.

"Ming'er, do you still choose to stand on your father's side?"

"Grandpa, concubine mother died, grandpa, concubine mother died in front of me."

Gu Ziming was very calm, he didn't feel like crying, unlike a child who just lost his mother.

"Rong Xiaoran, all the rebels outside the palace gate have been captured, stop it." Bai Shuang appeared behind Rong Xiaoran at some point, and led many masked guards of the White Gate to surround the Rong family's army.

Rong Xiaoran turned around and looked at the soldiers who had fought bloody battles with him for many years. He was filled with guilt. This was a journey that was destined to be irreversible. The moment he made a decision, he knew that the most difficult thing he could face was, Not his ambitious second son, but these subordinates who are willing to advance and retreat with him.

He raised the sword in his hand and said in a loud voice: "My Rong family army, all of them are men who are indomitable. Today I, Rong Xiaoran, lost, but our Rong family army was not defeated."

After speaking, Rong Xiaoran pointed the sword at himself and sealed his throat with one sword.

Blood streaked across the night sky, Rong's army knelt on the ground one after another, Gu Aotian came out from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and covered Rong Xiaoran's body with his outer robe.

"What happened tonight, I will treat it as never happened, Rong family soldiers, go back."

Gu Aotian took Rong Chenyan from Gu Ziming's hand, he knew that the Rong family would rebel, and he also knew that Rong Chenyan ignored Gu Ziming's intentions for so many years.

Originally, she thought about recalling them and keeping them under her nose, but she never thought that Rong Chenyan would abandon the entire Rong family for the sake of Gu Ziming's future.

He should have known earlier that when he came back with Rong Yingjie's body, he and Rong Chenyan were destined to be in the situation they are today.

The Rong's family is gone, but the Rong's family's army is still there, and now the people holding the military power are gone, and the only one they accept is Gu Ziming. In this way, even if he is not orthodox, no one can shake him.

"Your Majesty, the imperial guards have come to report that Mrs. Su has disappeared."

Gu Ziming raised his eyes, as if his strength had been drained, Master, please don't worry, I really don't want to lose anyone anymore...

Gu Aotian quickly sealed off the city gate, while Gu Ziming rushed to Su Mansion with the rest of the guards, pushed the door open and entered, the original courtyard was full of blood stains, Aunt Sun was running around anxiously in the courtyard, seeing Gu Ziming, seemed to have found the backbone : "Your Highness, you are here. Madam is gone. A group of people suddenly rushed in and killed everyone they saw. The housekeeper was... Fortunately, Xueer was only knocked out and is now awake."

"Aunt Sun, you have the oldest seniority in the mansion, so I will leave it to you." After explaining, Gu Ziming ran to Chen Xiansi's room.

"Sister Xue, who has robbed Master Mistress?"

"It's Rong Yinghao. He rushed in and grabbed Madam and knocked me out. After that, I don't know anything. Your Highness, you must find Madam."

...

As soon as it was dawn, Su Wanxi felt that her heart was in a panic. Shen Changying finally opened the door. With big dark circles under his eyes, he said, "He woke up, but Wanxi, why am I feeling so uncomfortable? Is it because I didn't sleep?" ?”

Su Wanxi stood up, and before she could speak, a team of guards broke into the door.

"Young Master, Mr. Changying, you guys, come back quickly."

Su Wanxi had never ridden a horse so vigorously before, he and Shen Changying rushed back like crazy, to the home where they said goodbye the day before.

There was a white silk hanging on the door, Aunt Sun and Xueer knelt in front of the door, the yard was full of wailing, the only one who was quiet was the mistress of the mansion.

Shen Changying walked over and looked at his mother in the coffin. He seemed to be able to hear his mother say: "Changying, mother will not be able to celebrate your birthday this year. Remember to eat longevity noodles."

Su Wanxi held on to the door frame weakly, he didn't dare to leave, he didn't dare to see his mother's bloodless face, he made it clear that his mother would be there no matter what time...

"Mother, open your eyes and look at me, okay? Mother, Changying is back, look at me, I want to eat noodles, I want to eat longevity noodles made by my mother, can you make them for me?"

Su Wanxi stepped forward and grabbed Shen Changying. His father was not here, so he couldn't be depressed like his younger brother. He had to settle all the big and small matters in the house, and the funeral of his mother...

Gu Ziming knelt down in the Mingxi Palace, his face was mixed with the last hot blood dripping from three people in this world, those were the three people who loved him the most.

He was holding a piece of clothing in his hand, which Chen Xiansi hadn't handed over to him. Long before his Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Xiansi had measured his figure. She said that the weather was going to be cold and she wanted to make him a piece of clothing. Warm clothes.

Ever since he became a teacher, Gu Ziming has never lacked new clothes to wear, each piece is sewn by Chen Xiansi himself, and there is a Ming character on each piece of clothing.

Three days later, there was a war in Jiangzhou, and Su Qinglin couldn't come back; seven days later, Su Wanxi buried Chen Xiansi.

Shen Changying hardly closed his eyes, he knelt in front of Chen Xiansi's grave and refused to leave, Su Wanxi had no choice but to knock him out and hand him over to Gu Zijing and Miao Zan to take care of him.

Before Su Qinglin came back, he had to deal with the large and small affairs of the Su Mansion, the pensions for the casualties, and the recruitment of new servants, etc. He didn't know before, even if the mansion needed to buy a pair of bowls and chopsticks , must be decided by his mother. It turns out that he has no idea how hard his mother is...

Gu Zifeng's injury has not yet healed, he yelled to ask Bai Jiu to take him to find Shen Changying, but Concubine Le Gui refused to let him go, he begged: "Mother Concubine, let me go, if it wasn't for guarding me, he might be If we can come back in time, Mrs. Su may not..."

"You can't even walk steadily now, how are you going? Feng'er, do you want to make your mother feel distressed to death?"

Gu Zifeng bit her lower lip, and Concubine Le Gui comforted: "Concubine Mother has already let Zijing rush over, don't worry, I will never stop you when you feel better.

...

After burying Rong Chenyan and Rong Xiao, Gu Ziming came to Chen Xiansi's grave alone. He just knelt and couldn't say anything.

Su Wanxi originally wanted to say goodbye to her mother, but when she saw Gu Ziming kneeling there from a distance, he stopped and stood looking at him from a distance. Up to now, it's best not to see each other.

It wasn't until the moonlight hung high that Gu Ziming got up and walked away slowly. Su Wanxi followed behind him all the time. He really wanted to see his face and hug him, and told him that these things were not strange. You, it has nothing to do with you, but somehow your feet are bound by something so that he can't catch up.

In front of the palace gate, a graceful woman stood there, wearing a veil, her hair fluttering in the wind. She trotted up to Gu Ziming, wrapped her slender arms around Gu Ziming, and helped him disappear through the palace gate.

The palace door was closed tightly, Su Wanxi turned and left, not knowing if Shen Changying had eaten today.
