Chapter 93 Cutting off grace and righteousness
Unavoidably something unexpected happened. After they left the palace, Princess Chaoyang stayed in Qi Zhan's study and stared at him handwriting the letter of divorce.

Without the slightest complaint or resistance, Gu Yuchu knelt obediently in front of the case and respectfully accepted the letter of divorce. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that from then on, Yu Si and Qi Zhi really had nothing to do with each other.

After Princess Chaoyang left with satisfaction, Qi Jian smashed the inkstone angrily, causing ink to splash all over Gu Yuchu.

"Are you satisfied now?"

He squeezed out these three words through his teeth, with a look in his eyes that wanted to eat alive the woman who was currently indifferent and calm.

Gu Yuchu didn't respond, but carefully put away the divorce letter, then touched the ink on his face, raised his head and met the eyes that could scare away the rage of millions of lions.

"Why?" Qi Jian sighed, he desperately wanted to know the reason.

"Why? I would like to ask the prince, even if it is revenge, why can half of the enemies be killed and half cannot be killed?"

Gu Yuchu stood up and stopped being a lowly person. Today she was going to have a clear explanation with him.

Qi Jie didn't say anything. He looked at Gu Yuchu. He was looking forward to seeing Gu Yuchu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, but honest with himself. He had been looking forward to it for too long. However, behind her taking off her disguise and returning to her frankness was the truth that he could not erase. It's also the hurdle he least wants to face in this relationship.

"Is it because there are too many enemies and we can't kill them all? In addition to Concubine Xian, the ones who devoured my Yuchi clan alive were also the Queen and King Zhenxi. What about the Queen and King Zhenxi?" Gu Yuchu smiled, and the laughter was cold. It makes people shiver, like well water in a deserted house late at night.

Then, her nose became sore and she started crying again: "It turns out that there is also the prince's biological father, the aloof Emperor Ming who is respected by thousands of people!"

Qi Jian sat stiffly on the Taishi chair, holding the armrest tightly with one hand, not knowing how to answer.

"Fake brother, did you forget to tell me?" Gu Yuchu leaned forward and asked softly across the table. However, the anticipation in his eyes was eventually drowned by tears, and was replaced by the feeling after seeing all the ups and downs. Endless disappointment.

She was still silent. She swallowed the bitterness in her eyes, and then asked: "Why did you lie to me?"

"It's not what you think it is."

The man spoke hoarsely. He thought that Gu Yuchu would make a fuss, be noisy, and even set the entire Prince Qin's palace on fire, but she chose to directly ask herself for the truth, and succumbed to this reality that made her crazy from beginning to end.For herself, her eyes were full of disappointment and sadness, but her tone couldn't bear to vent all the hatred in her heart.

"What would that look like?" Gu Yuchu straightened up dejectedly, muttering to himself and answering sadly.

"Is it Yuchi Lin who is arrogant and disobeys the holy will, and brings the blame on himself? Or is Yuchi Hong defiant and dishonest, and is not getting retribution? Even if our Yuchi family is exhausted, the lives of 170 and eight people are so innocent. Should the injustice done by our ancestors be punished by future generations? Will you have to pay with your life, or is it because your father and the king are jealous of each other that you need to offer their heads to get a clear lesson?"

"What did you do behind my back?"

Qi Jian couldn't bear it anymore. She must have been pondering the mystery in this old case for a long time, but when did she, who obeyed her own words and never took risks, start to doubt, and when did she start planning, so that she came to this point? At this step today, I can still be unaware of it.

"Shouldn't I know the truth?" Gu Yuchu looked him in the eyes and complained.

"In this case, the prince should have killed me directly in the first place, so why did he send me to Sanxing Academy to fuel my desire for revenge, teach me how to defeat my enemies, and help me survive every step of the way? But in the end, it was just a scam. If the Yuchi clan was drowned in the world, I would not blame anyone, but now, how do I face my relatives under the Nine Springs, and how do I face you?"

"I just want you to settle the past easily and live a simple and happy life from now on."

Qi Jian did not argue. Her anger and disappointment were caused by him. If he had confessed to her earlier and known the truth, they would not be in such a dilemma.

He hesitated step by step, so that he never had the chance to speak again, so he only looked forward to giving everything he had to pay for his guilt after everything settled.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's possible now?"

Gu Yuchu sneered, tears quietly falling from the corners of her eyes, and then she suppressed all the complex affection on her face and said word by word: "Qizhen, you shouldn't sympathize with me."

"No. I promise you I will never break my promise."

Her tone made Qi Jian's heartstrings tighten and made his heart ache.He clearly knew that what she was looking forward to most now was not only her promise, but also the certainty and guarantee. So, he would not be stingy, this was what he owed her.

Hearing what Qi Jian said, Gu Yuchu's hand that was tightly gripping the hem of her skirt slowly relaxed.

She thought for a long time that the only person in the world who could clear Yuchi's grievances was Qi Jian, and she did not have the ability to attack Emperor Ming, fearing that Gu Yuxin might be implicated.More importantly, she had to repay Qi Jie's kindness in protecting their sisters. If he kept his promise and rectified the Yuchi clan's name, she could let go of her hatred.

In this way, the two of them owe nothing to each other.

"I have one more thing to ask of you." Gu Yuchu was silent for a while, his eyelashes flickered, and he spoke again.

"Say." Faced with such a stubborn and sensible woman, Qi Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

"I have a kind and pure heart. She has never had any second thoughts about her brother, and will remain loyal to her until death. Please protect her from danger for the rest of her life."

"What about you?" A wry smile hung on the corner of his mouth. This woman was so self-righteous. She always decided who could and should be by his side and in his heart, but she never thought about how to stand by her side.

"If the prince keeps his promise, vindicates the Yuchi family, and treats them kindly, I am willing to still be used by you, no matter how hard it is, go up against the sword or go down into the sea of ​​fire, but..."

Gu Yuchu paused for a second, lowered his eyes and was silent for two seconds, then raised his eyes and continued to say firmly: "At least from now on, I will no longer be your princess or... anything else..."

"Hahaha…."

Such irony made Qi Jian laugh so hard that he could hardly control the tears in his eyes.

He was so plotted by the willful woman in front of him that he had no power to fight back, and his sincerity towards her and the love he gave her were not worth mentioning to her. Now, she was cruelly exposing his self-esteem. Stepping on the soles of your feet will ruin you. "There are countless shadows like you under my command. It doesn't have to be you." He is always proud and refuses to bow his head. He will never give in, even to his only sister, Xiaochu, who he truly loves.

"So...so wonderful."

Gu Yuchu smiled in relief, and then she didn't dare to look at him again.

Yes, after all, she was just a little chess piece, so how could she dare to ask him why he wanted to marry her.Now, after waking up from the dream, the obsession she had buried deep in her heart was ultimately a lie.

Gu Yuchu turned around silently, using all his strength in every step he took away.

Qi Jian was also stubborn and didn't hold back, but after all, when he saw her lowering her head and closing the door, he no longer held back his tears like gold.

Returning to Linyue Pavilion, Liansheng waited anxiously. Seeing that the princess was so lost, he helped her change clothes and freshen up.

"Princess, the hot water is ready. You can take a bath and rest."

"Liansheng, I am no longer a princess. If you are willing, please call me sister."

"How is that possible? The prince will not agree." Liansheng looked shocked and didn't believe what she said at all.

"It shouldn't have been me, and I can't afford it." Gu Yuchu licked his wounds and muttered to himself.

At this moment, Gu Yuxin's eyes were filled with tears, and she rushed straight into the Nuan Pavilion without even pretending to be sick.

"Liansheng, please go out. Yu Xin and I have something to talk about alone." Gu Yuchu sent Liansheng away. Now that the matter was over, she had something to tell her sister.

"Yes."

When Liansheng left, Gu Yuxin stepped forward and held her sister's hand, tears bursting down her face, crying so sadly that it seemed that she already knew the outcome in the main hall.

"Sister, you won't leave. What they said is all lies, right?"

"Fool, I asked the prince for this myself." Gu Yuchu consoled him.

"Why?!" Gu Yuxin looked shocked, her eyes widened, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and she began to blame herself, "Is it because of me? Is it because of me, sister? I never wanted to dominate him. Really, Sister, you have to believe me."

"It has nothing to do with you, don't think too much about it, I just don't like my current life." Gu Yuchu calmly held his sister's hand and explained.

"Then sister, what kind of life do you like, tell me, I will definitely make it happen." Gu Yuxin still believed that her sister was determined to leave because of her, so she became extremely anxious and tried her best to retain Gu Yuchu.

"I want to live a happy and carefree life in the world. If possible, I would like to find Jing Heng's whereabouts."

"Is Jing Heng still alive?" Mentioning their missing brother, Gu Yuxin knew that her sister had already made up her mind, so she asked softly.

"I don't know." Gu Yuchu shook his head sadly and smiled bitterly.

"Qi Jie will help us. He is Dong Qi's God of War. With him, we will be able to find Jing Heng's whereabouts."

"Yu Xin, do you believe in Qi Zhen?" Gu Yu saw for the first time that his sister still innocently and unreservedly believed in her brother Qi Zhen. Even though he had made up his mind not to tell her the truth, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I believe him." Gu Yuxin looked determined.

"Then just stay with him and take care of yourself."

"But I also want to be with my sister and my brother."

When Gu Yuxin saw that her sister was determined to make her and Qi Zhen happy, she cried even harder, which again reminded Gu Yuchu of tears that had stopped.

She raised her hand to wipe her sister's tears and comforted her: "The old case of Yuchi is about to come to light. My sister needs you to stay in Dongqi and see that the family is in peace. In addition, there is one more thing you must do, and it is also for me. , for the sake of Yuchi’s family.”

"Well, sister, if you tell me, I will definitely do it." Seeing that she had received great trust and could help her sister and the family, Gu Yuxin immediately promised.

"No matter what, I must sit on the throne of queen in the name of Yuchi Yuxin. We cannot pursue the past name, but the glory of the family can still be restored."

Gu Yuchu thought that after all the planning he had done, Yuchi Zhaoxue was just around the corner, but to protect himself from danger, only by adding the word "Captain Chi" to the name of Queen Dongqi would it be considered foolproof.Therefore, she had to suppress Qi Jian's feelings for her sister in order to feel completely at ease.

As for the cruel truth, she felt that there was absolutely no need to tell Gu Yuxin. It was enough for her to bear it alone, and her sister only needed to be by the side of her beloved openly. Dare to make a wish.

"Okay." Gu Yuxin hugged her sister tightly and burst into tears.

"Good boy, if you need me, no matter how high the mountain or the road is, I will come." Gu Yuchu promised, patting her back gently.

"A word is settled!"

"Ah."
