The tyrant's father, Xiao Tianjiao, the most tyrannical treasurer in the whole dynasty

The latter, Gu Ci thinks she doesn't have the courage to do it!

Emperor Chu's patience was limited, and Gu Ci couldn't make a decision for a long time, so he said impatiently: "In that case, the queen should go!"

"Holy."

Gu Ci immediately knelt down.

She knelt a little violently, and her knee hit the ground hard, just listening to the sound made people feel pain.

But the Emperor of Chu turned a deaf ear to it, and he still looked at the noble concubine in front of him with deep affection.

Decades ago, even if Gu Ci frowned, the Emperor Chu felt very distressed.

But now...

Gu Ci was once again saddened by the fickleness of people's hearts.

She shed a tear and quickly wiped it away with her hand, then choked up and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine and Jiang'er have been hostages in Yu State for more than ten years, and they have been wronged so much that they won the opportunity for the stable development of Chu State. Ten For many years, didn't it happen overnight, without our efforts, Chu State would not be where it is today, can't you see it for these sakes, and let Jiang'er do it once?"

Gu Ci tried to use the past credits to soften Chu Huang's heart.

As everyone knows, what Emperor Chu hates the most is Gu Ci mentioning their decades of dedication and contributions, because these are always restricting him, making him unable to follow his heart and make some decisions.

"Enough, go out..." Chu Huang angrily reprimanded.

Gu Ci refused to leave, but still knelt, "Your Majesty, the human heart is made of flesh! Don't you really care about our mother and son's efforts over the past few years?"

"You only remember your sacrifices, what about me?" The Emperor Chu became angry when he was questioned. He let go of the imperial concubine, came to Gu Ci, pointed to Gu Ci's nose and said, "I used to reform, to let me The state of Chu will stand up soon, so that you can bring your mother and son back, and you will kowtow to those from your mother clan, but how did those people from your mother clan treat me?"

"...This, I don't know." Gu Ci shook her head.

"You really don't know." Chu Huang said: "No one dares to tell you, because these years, I have been avoiding talking about those people, and no one in the palace dares to talk about it."

Gu Ci: "..."

"Those people from your mother clan are really ruthless!"

Thinking of all the past, Chu Huang still felt that a rope was tied around his neck, and he couldn't breathe.

And his friendship with Gu Ci is also because of the reforms that year. Gu Ci's mother clan, as the head of the family, his father-in-law's family, not only did not support him, but also constrained him everywhere. They only had the interests of their family in their eyes. The kneeling people, the kneeling emperor are completely invisible... and finally exhausted.

"Your Majesty, one size counts for another. Of course the concubine's mother clan is at fault, and although it makes you feel uncomfortable, it is also the fault of the concubine's mother clan, and it has nothing to do with Jiang'er!"

Although Gu Ci didn't know what happened that year, she still tried to defend herself.

I hope that Emperor Chu will have room for dealing with Di Jiang's matter.

"It doesn't matter? Hehe..." Chu Huang immediately laughed at these words, "Gu Ci, you are so naive."

"..." Gu Ci said: "Your Majesty, what do you say? The concubine doesn't understand."

Chu Huang said: "Okay, I will let you understand."

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, and then talked about the things that hurt him back then.

"Back then, in order to reform, I not only knelt down to the people of your mother clan, but was almost abolished by the people of your mother clan. Because they thought they still had Jiang Er in their hands, so they abolished me, or made me a puppet , for them, it is beneficial and harmless."

"Their status as the head of the family will only become more stable."

"To this day, I have controlled all the power of the Langluo family in my hands, but I did not kill your mother clan, but still gave your mother clan the honor it deserves..."

"Do you know why I did this? It's because I remember the decades of credit you and Jiang'er have made as hostages in Yu State. So, Gu Ci, don't be ignorant anymore."

"..."

Gu Ci was shocked, what happened back then was so serious?

She knows nothing!
"Can't speak anymore? It's right to be speechless." Chu Huang said: "I didn't feel sorry for your mother clan, it was they who let me down first."

"But Jiang'er..." He is innocent!
"Don't mention Jiang'er again. Since he has done something wrong, he should reflect on himself." Chu Huang said: "As for you, I don't want to see you anymore. Go back to the bedroom and rest!"

...

Gu Ci didn't know how she left the imperial study in the end, but she only knew that her head was buzzing all the way. She never expected that her father and mother, who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic in her eyes, would actually be there on the few days she went to Yu Kingdom. In the past ten years, he has given His Majesty so much embarrassment!

It's strange that the Holy Majesty doesn't hold grudges.

only……

Gu Ci was also afraid that Emperor Chu's words would be exaggerated.

In order to further prove what Emperor Chu said, Gu Ci sent someone to investigate the past in detail, and in the end the facts were not different from what Emperor Chu said.

It is true that her mother clan was the first to bear the blame.

That's why today's Gu family seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it has long been emptied, and there is not much real power in hand.

And she was also implicated inexplicably, and then fell out of favor.

The things that Gu Ci had been holding on to in her heart suddenly collapsed, and her ambition suddenly disappeared a lot. She...she was a little speechless.

...

Half a month later, the passage from the East Palace to Zhaoyang Palace was dug. Mr. Wei Gao personally led people back and forth to test it several times, and it would not collapse or be discovered.

Di Jiang will go down immediately, to Zhaoyang Palace, to see Mu Wan'er.

Wei Gao stayed in the East Palace and guarded it for him.

Di Jiang took the lantern and brought a servant, and the two of them entered the underground passage together.

After walking for a long time, finally arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, where Mu Wan'er was imprisoned.

The upward opening of this underground passage is under a table, Di Jiang opened the cover of the passage, and when he came out, Mu Wan'er was shocked.

"who?"

Mu Wan'er was sitting at the table in a daze, when suddenly there was movement under the table, and a person came out, would she not be afraid?

She looked around, then ran to the Bogu stand not far away, picked up a vase, held it in her hand, and pointed it at the place where people came out from under the table.

"Jiujiu, it's me..."

After Di Jiang climbed out, he was afraid that Mu Wan'er would think he was a bad person or a hooligan, so he hurriedly reported his name.

"Brother Di Jiang?"

Mu Wan'er heard the familiar voice, put the vase in her hand back to its original position, then hurried forward to take the lantern from Di Jiang's hand, and helped Di Jiang get out of the narrow hole.

The cave was dirty and dark, even with a lantern in his hand, Dijiang still had a lot of dust on his body when he walked to Mu Wan'er's place, and his fine clothes were all stained.

But Di Jiang didn't have time to take pictures, and he didn't care about the boy who came with him to find someone behind him.

He pulled Mu Wan'er into his arms and said to Mu Wan'er, "Jiujiu, I made you suffer!"

Mu Wan'er smelled the familiar scent on Di Jiang's body, which reassured her, she shook her head and said, "It's not hard."

Dijiang's eyes were bright, "Jiujiu, Brother Dijiang came here this time to tell you something."

Mu Wan'er also said: "Brother Dijiang, Jiujiu also has something to tell you."

"When I came here, I came here at the right time. Now there is plenty of time. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

"it is good."

The boy crawled out of the hole, seeing that Di Jiang and Mu Wan'er had something to say, he consciously went to the outer room to guard the door.

In Zhaoyang Palace, there is no one else except Mu Wan'er.

Everyone is watching outside.

Therefore, Di Jiang and Mu Wan'er felt much more at ease.

Di Jiang took Mu Wan'er's hand and sat down on the soft couch not far away. The soft couch was big enough, even if the two of them sat together, it was a bit spacious.

After sitting firmly, Di Jiang took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Wan'er.

This letter was from Hongying to him when he left Yu country.

After reading it, Mu Wan'er shook her head, "I didn't write this."

After saying that, Mu Wan'er also groped around for a while, found a letter, and handed it to Di Jiang.

After reading it, Di Jiang had exactly the same reaction as Mu Wan'er.This letter was not written by him. She never knew that such a letter had entered Mu Wan'er's hands.

"It seems that Hongying wrote this letter." Mu Wan'er said, "Her purpose is to destroy our relationship, so that we will never communicate with each other."

Di Jiang shook his head, "No."

"Huh? Brother Dijiang, why not?"

Di Jiang recalled the conversation he heard between his queen mother and Hongying when he left Yu country that day, and said, "This letter should be written by my queen mother."

"Your mother?" Mu Wan'er was puzzled.

"Yeah." Di Jiang said: "Jiujiu, you may not know that my mother suffered a lot of grievances when she was hostage with me in Yu State. She hated Yu State to the bone, and she treated you... Although she was polite, But after all, it’s just being polite, she doesn’t agree with us being friends, and she doesn’t agree with us continuing to keep in touch.”

Then there were these two letters that seemed to be about to break up with the other party, and they appeared in the hands of Di Jiang and Mu Wan'er respectively.

and also……

Back then, Dijiang's residence and everything about Mu Wan'er were trampled on and destroyed, all of which were done by Gu Ci.

Gu Ci wanted to use this to completely break the relationship between Mu Wan'er and Di Jiang.

Mu Wan'er nodded, "...I can understand."

"Jiujiu, you don't have to force yourself." Di Jiang said, "I haven't even convinced myself to understand my queen mother, let alone you?"

Di Jiang shook the letter in his hand, "You must have suffered a lot with such a decisive letter these years, right?"

"Brother Dijiang, to tell you the truth, when I saw this letter for the first time, I really felt like the sky was falling, but after my mother and concubine comforted me, I wanted to let go." Mu Wan'er Truthfully said: "I believe that brother Dijiang would not give Wan'er such a letter."

"Me too." Di Jiang said: "I believe that Jiujiu will not deceive brother Di Jiang's feelings."

At this moment, the two letters of refusal and misunderstanding caused the two of them to finally explain clearly.

The letter was forged by someone else.

The relationship between Di Jiang and Mu Wan'er has never changed, they are still the same as before.

As before, Di Jiang took Mu Wan'er into his arms, patted Mu Wan'er's back comfortingly, and said, "Thank you Wan'er for trusting me."

Mu Wan'er leaned on Di Jiang's shoulder, smiled sweetly, and then asked about another matter that she had been paying attention to recently, but she hadn't received any news.

"Brother Dijiang, is there any news from my father?"

It has been half a month since she was slandered and imprisoned here. Although the father is thousands of miles away, I think the father has already received the news.

Mu Wan'er was sure that if her father knew what happened to her, he would not be indifferent.
