My Love Comes to See the Grass on my Grave - Chapter 64
The horse looked like it had become an elite. On the way, as soon as Murong Yan approached Gu Lang, it would go to him. If the arch can’t be opened, he is still angry, gasping for breath.
Murong Yan stewed the horse meat over and over again in his heart, and when he arrived at the East Palace, he handed the horse over to Eunuch Chen and dragged Gu Lang away by himself.
When they arrived at the Heavenly Prison, Murong Yan wanted to accompany Gu Lang in, but Gu Lang shook his head and pushed open the door alone.
He found Zheng Yufei behind the rows of cells.
Zheng Yufei had shackles on his hands and feet, and raised his head when he heard the sound. He looked at the young man in front of him and asked, “Who are you?”
Gu Lang didn’t speak, his eyes stared at him tightly, suppressing the resentment that rolled up in his heart.
After a long time, he said, I will tell you a story.
He said that eleven years ago, under General Nie Zhan, there was a lieutenant named Gu Zhang. On that day, Gu Zhang arrested a Beiqi spy and found a secret letter from him.
Gu Zhang suspected that Lu Pingshan was colluding with the enemy and treason, and went to Nie Zhan with a secret letter. Nie An, the housekeeper of the Nie House, secretly passed the news to him because his wife and children were trapped in Lu Pingshan’s hands.
Afterwards, Lu Pingshan ordered him to be addicted to Nie Zhan and Gu Zhang’s tea.
Nie Zhan was furious when he learned about the secret letter, and wanted to go to the palace to tell the emperor about it. They rode their horses to Changming Lane, but they felt that something was wrong. The lane was empty and very quiet.
They were suddenly dizzy and fell from their horses.
Before Gu Zhang passed out, he saw Zheng Yufei riding his horse coming from the alley.
When he woke up again, he saw Nie Zhan kneeling in front of him covered in blood, and he held a knife in his hand, the tip of the knife stabbing on Nie Zhan’s chest.
The forbidden army rushed over and surrounded him. Zheng Yufei sat on the horse and looked at him condescendingly, saying that he deliberately murdered Zhongliang…
Gu Zhang was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, without arraignment, without defense, and without even seeing anyone.
A few days later, Nie Zhan died of serious injuries, and Zheng Yufei retrieved the correspondence between Gu Zhang and Bei Qi from the Gu residence. Then, an imperial decree slashed the entire Gu family for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
But no one knew that the imperial decree was that Lu Pingshan bribed the **** beside the emperor, burned incense for the emperor, and had him affixed with a seal while he was unconscious.
When the emperor woke up, the Gu family had already entered Huangquan.
“You, who the **** are you?!” Zheng Yufei’s eyes widened, his hands and feet trembling.
At that time, Lu Pingshan promised him a high-ranking official and a good salary, and the two sang together, killed Nie Zhan, put the blame on Gu Zhang, and even cooperated with Beiqi Li to conquer the capital.
Only Lu Pingshan should know about these things. He bit these secrets, betting that Lu Pingshan would save him in order to hide these things.
He was trapped in prison, not knowing that Lu Pingshan had already been unable to protect himself.
Gu Lang looked at him coldly and said, “Do you remember that in the Gu family, there was a thirteen-year-old child.”
“Child…” Zheng Yufei was stunned for a moment, and then denied it, “Impossible! That child died when the Imperial Army sealed up the Gu Mansion!”
He knew very well that cutting weeds had to be eradicated, and he would never bury himself in harm’s way. But he didn’t know that Zhao Zhuo once had a son who was about the same age as Gu Lang.
When the mansion was closed that year, Zhao Zhuo’s son fled in panic and fell off the high wall.
When Zhao Zhuo found his son, the child had lost his breath. He was extremely distressed, but he still carried the child to find Gu Lang, asked the two to change clothes, and then escaped with Gu Lang.
They fled in embarrassment in the city, in fear. Gu Lang didn’t see his parents for the last time, so he only dared to sneak to the execution ground at night, but only in the moonlight, he saw pools of black blood…
From then on, he had nightmares every night and was terrified of seeing blood at night…
“Eleven years, I’ve had nightmares for eleven years!” Gu Lang grabbed Zheng Yufei’s neck with one hand, and slammed him against the wall, “Why should my Gu family be blamed for this unjust injustice and be punished by the world? cast aside?!”
He wanted to kill Zheng Yufei countless times, but what if he killed him? The deceased can no longer come back, but the charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason are firmly attached to the Gu family day after day.
It was Lu Pingshan and Zheng Yufei who owed the Gu family. He just wanted to grieve Zhaoxue and let the world know that he was loyal to the Gu family and never betrayed the country.
His father was magnanimous all his life, and never humiliated his family…
Murong Yan leaned against the wall and heard a sound, Gu Lang walked out from behind the door.
“Are you okay?” Murong Yan walked over and held his cool hand.
Gu Lang shook his head and intertwined his fingers, “Go back.”
He thought that he shouldn’t be caught in the heavy past, only to see blood dripping.
He also has Murong Yan.
Murong Yan is still waiting for him…
Qu Fengyun watched Ruan Nian rush over and over to catch a chicken at the kitchen door, and couldn’t help asking, “Today/Are you cooking?”
“No, I don’t know how to cook.” Ruan Nian said while chasing the chicken, “My mother said, if I make chicken soup for you, you might not be mad at me… Be careful!”
The chicken was in a panic, fluttering its wings and pounced on Qu Fengyun.
Qu Fengyun pinched the chicken with one hand.
He returned the chicken to Ruan Nian, Ruan Nian took the chicken and walked a few steps, then looked back at him eagerly and said, “I won’t kill the chicken.”
Qu Fengyun had no choice but to help him kill chickens again.
Ruan Nian threw the slaughtered chicken into the pot and asked, “What do you want to cook chicken soup?”
Qu Fengyun put a little salt in the pot with an expressionless face.
Ruan Nian: “Is it good to put salt?”
Qu Fengyun: “…” You haven’t prepared anything, what do you want me to put?
Ruan Nian went to light the fire again, rustling for a long time, and finally looked at Qu Fengyun with a gray face.
Qu Fengyun silently started the fire.
Ruan Nian wiped his face and muttered, “Why is it so troublesome to cook soup…”
They struggled for a long time before they boiled a pot of chicken soup. Ruan Nian hugged Qu Fengyun happily, “I will make chicken soup!”
Qu Fengyun: “…” Did you endure it, or did I endure it?
Ruan Nian gave Qu Fengyun a bowl, and said to please: “It may not be as delicious as anyone else’s, but…”
Qu Fengyun sat at the table, looked at the steaming chicken soup on the table, and said, “No one has cooked chicken soup for me.”
Ruan Nian wondered, “Your mother didn’t either…”
Qu Fengyun: “I am an orphan.”
Ruan Nian was stunned for a while, then pushed the chicken soup in front of him and said, “Then tell me if you want to drink it later, and I’ll cook it for you.”
Qu Fengyun raised the corner of his mouth, “Didn’t you say trouble?”
Ruan Nian said a little embarrassedly: “If you want to drink, it’s not too much trouble…”
The hot air wafted from the soup, lingering between the two of them.
Qu Fengyun slowly moved closer.
Ruan Nian grabbed the table, her heart pounding.
They are getting closer and closer, smelling each other, lips close at hand…
Suddenly, Ruan Nian raised his head and looked at the roof.
Qu Fengyun: “…”
