Now, the truth was finally revealed.
Dongling Xingyun was still thinking about the poison, but Gong Dingnan had already heaved a sigh of relief.
Gong Yuwei hugged Shen Qingzi's body and cried," Mother is innocent. Someone must have drugged Mother!"”
Gong Dingnan no longer wanted to complicate matters at this moment.
Now that the truth was out, it was better not to have any other accidents. Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, this person was really despicable. Consort Ling was poisoned and then defiled. It sounded better than stealing someone. Gong Dingnan sighed slightly." Yuwei, your mother has already passed away. After this incident, even if your mother was awake, she would still be…" Gong Dingnan did not need to say anything else.
Ancient women were particular about being faithful to their husbands. If such a thing happened, she would definitely die. Even if Gong Dingnan did not deal with her, Shen Qingzi herself would not live.
Gong Liusu spoke up at this moment. She looked at the Moonwalkers on the ground, who reeked of alcohol. She raised her eyebrows and said," The Ling residence is heavily guarded. This person reeks of alcohol. He must have snuck into the princess consort's room drunk."”
Gong Liusu reminded him at the right time, which gave him an excuse when the man barged in. A drunk man was conscious, but his body was not listening to him.
Everyone's attention was on Shen Qingzi and Gong Yuwei. Now that Gong Liusu had reminded them, they looked at the Moonwaltz Duo on the ground. Hearing Gong Liusu's words, he could also smell the faint mellow fragrance of the wine. Gong Yuwei complained endlessly, but there was nothing he could do. Could it be that Moonwaltz had really drunk too much? Gong Yuwei was also unable to determine, and could only hug Shen Qingzi and cry bitterly.
Gong Dingnan naturally regretted his mistake just now, but Shen Qingzi was already dead, so it was useless to regret. He looked at his beloved daughter and said," Yuwei, your mother has already passed away. She was burdened by a traitor, and people are bound to die. Let your mother go well."”
Gong Yu bit her lip. Her mother's death had something to do with her. If she didn't dislike Gong Liusu, her mother wouldn't have thought of that, and none of this would have happened. But Gong Yuwei didn't dare to say it in front of so many people.
Gong Liusu crossed her arms and watched from the side. The corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. Gong Yuwei and Shen Qingzi were playing this game in front of him. Gong Liusu wouldn't die so easily. She had already achieved her goal. She had quietly gotten rid of the person who had harmed her back then. All of this was considered a light punishment. It was just a small punishment. She didn't want to go too far, and she didn't want her hands to be stained with too much blood, so she let it go.
Gong Liusu was too lazy to say anything. She turned around and saw Dongling Xingyun looking at her. Gong Liusu was slightly shocked. Did Jiu Wangye sense something? The meaning behind his gaze was unclear. At this moment, Dongling Yuanfang turned around and met Gong Liusu's gaze. Dongling Yuanfang narrowed her eyes slightly, but Gong Liusu avoided her as if nothing had happened.
Gong Dingnan quickly ordered people to handle Shen Qingzi's funeral affairs according to the etiquette of a princess consort. It was late at night, and Gong Liusu was tired and dispersed. With the incident at the Ling residence, the Crown Prince had to return to the palace to deal with his own matters, so he bid farewell and returned to the palace earlier. Xiling Zhushi stayed in Prince Ling's mansion to accompany Gong Liusu for a few days. He had seen with his own eyes how Gong Dingnan treated his niece in Prince Ling's mansion. Once the matter was over, he discussed with Gong Liusu and Gong Liusu to let Gong Liusu stay in the Xiling mansion for a while.
The old West-Hill Princess Consort hadn't seen Gong Liusu for many years, so she wanted Gong Liusu to go back to visit the old man and get to know her brothers and sisters. Gong Liusu was not valued in the Gong Family, but he was still a descendant of the West-Hill King's Mansion. Gong Liusu was still young, and the Crown Prince was interested in Gong Liusu. He could bring her back to teach Gong Liusu etiquette.
Gong Dingnan didn't dare to reject Zhu Shi's suggestion, so he followed Gong Liusu's instructions.
It only took one day for Gong Liusu and Xiling Zhushi to arrive at Xiling Palace. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Gong Liusu had followed Xiling Zhushi to Xiling Palace. When Gong Liusu came from the residence of Prince Ling, he had only brought Aoxue with him. The other girls were all trained by Gong Liusu. However, Xiling Palace had everything, so Gong Liusu had only brought this one girl with him.
Gong Liusu had received too many greetings in the West-Hill King's Mansion.
Other than Xiling Rouxue's parents, there were also her aunts, uncles, Xiling Zhu Shi's wives, and his sons and daughters. Just like in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', everyone greeted each other. The thing Gong Liusu did most of the time was to receive gifts and eat. Perhaps it was because of Xiling Rouxue, but these people treated him very well.
Gong Liusu felt it.
She had never felt this way before, not even in the Gong Family. When the two old men saw Gong Liusu, they held her in their arms and burst into tears. When they mentioned Xiling Rouxue, they also burst into tears. Back then, Gong Liusu had thought that Prince Ling's mansion was impressive enough, but now it was nothing compared to the West-Hill King's mansion. The Xiling Family was the largest family in the capital. They had a large family and a large business. There were many people in the family, and many of them had official positions in the court.
Gong Liusu often got lost when she was walking in the West-Hill Prince's Mansion, so she needed someone to take her with her. Fortunately, the old lady's heart ached for Gong Liusu. She had finally returned to the capital, but now she had lost her mother. He hadn't seen Gong Liusu for years, so he placed her in the yard next door. He assigned four first-class maids to Gong Liusu, picked a few second-class maids, and some elderly mothers to take care of Gong Liusu.
Gong Liusu, on the other hand, had been lying in the house for the past few days and was about to get moldy, so she got up and walked around. Seeing Gong Liusu so skinny, the old lady even ordered someone to prepare food for Gong Liusu and add ingredients for Gong Liusu's body. Gong Liusu almost vomited after eating for a few days.
He quickly found an opportunity to come out for a walk.
It was September and the sun was shining brightly. The room was a little stuffy, so Gong Liusu took a fan and went out for a walk. The Ling Residence was surrounded by beautiful rockery and lush trees. The flowers bloomed just in time in summer, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The houses were scattered all over the place. They looked scattered, but there was something special about them.
Gong Liusu didn't bring anyone with her when she came out, so she was quite free. The sunlight wasn't that strong anymore. It was just a faint glow. There was a cool breeze, and Gong Liusu was wearing a thin muslin dress. It was very cool. She stretched and felt that her body was very smooth. She had been meditating and practicing with Gong Liusu for the past few days. Occasionally, her cousins would teach Gong Liusu some kung fu, so Gong Liusu had learned a little.
He felt that his body was full of energy, and it seemed that the energy had completely returned. She continued to walk forward, but she heard someone talking in front of her.
"Huan 'er, in a few days, it'll be your coming-of-age ceremony. Father has already made arrangements. In a few days, many noble young masters from the imperial capital will come to watch the ceremony.”A familiar female voice came from the pavilion ahead.
"Big sister, don't tease me." A woman beside him said anxiously.
Gong Liusu recognized the voice. They were both Xiling Zhu Shi's daughters. One was called Xiling Huanyue, and the other was called Xiling Huan Huan. Huanyue of Xiling was already engaged to someone else, and there was also Huan Huan of Xiling. She had just reached the age of adulthood and had yet to be engaged to anyone. However, the daughter of the Prince of Xiling's mansion had naturally broken through the threshold.
When a woman reached adulthood, it meant that she had come of age.
He told the unmarried nobles that there was a girl waiting to be married in the West-Hill King's Mansion.
From what Xiling Huan Huan said, he already had someone in his heart?
Gong Liusu didn't want to interrupt the conversation, so she turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Xiling Huanyue smiled and asked," What's wrong? Huan 'er, are you shy? You've liked that person for a long time. Why didn't you say so? Why don't you wait until you're over the age of 15, and I'll help you tell Father? Father has always doted on you and will definitely help you.”
"Sister!" Xiling Huan Huan became anxious and blushed." Huan 'er didn't mean that. It's just that no woman takes the initiative.”
"Yo, you admit it now?" Xiling Huanyue smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Sister, you don't understand." Xiling Huan Huan's tone softened." Some things happen very suddenly. So what if I like him? But I don't know if he likes me. I haven't even said a word to him."
Xiling Huan Huan was slightly worried.
"Huan 'er, listen to your elder sister. You're so beautiful and you're the daughter of my Ling residence. In the past, how many women in the imperial capital can compare to you? If he sees you, he will definitely like you.”
"Not necessarily. He is a prince, and there are so many women who like him.”
"Don't worry. Although he has a high status, he's the only one who hasn't married after so many years. He doesn't even have a concubine, and there's no news of him having anything with any young lady. However, Huan 'er, you're different. Father and he are colleagues, so no matter what, he will give Father some face.”
Gong Liusu's mind spun. Among the princes, only the Ninth Prince, Dongling Xingyun, had yet to marry. So Huan Huan of Xiling liked the Ninth Prince. Gong Liusu smiled. Then, he turned around and saw a black shadow appear in front of him. He looked up and saw Jiu Wangye's handsome and inhumane face. Gong Liusu felt that something was wrong. She took a step back and accidentally touched the flower pot behind her.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the flower pot smashed onto the ground and instantly shattered into several pieces.
"Who is it?" A voice came from the front.
Gong Liusu didn't want them to know that she had overheard their conversation. It would be awkward. Before she could react, Jiu Wangye had pulled her hand and pulled her behind a rockery to hide.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 57PM #
