Chapter 824 Nightmare
If you dream about someone you have never seen before, you will naturally not be able to see clearly what they look like.

The emperor tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and stared at Concubine Hui, "He said that I would treat him badly?"

Concubine Hui nodded.

"What else did he say?"

"He said that the Gusu family in Qibei has been loyal and loyal for generations, and has made great contributions to our dynasty. When he came to him, he even contributed to half of our dynasty. The descendants of his Gusu family, regardless of gender, as long as they reach adulthood, can Go into battle with your gun."

"But his whole family is extinct, and His Majesty is actually indifferent." Because of trembling, Concubine Hui's voice was intermittent, rising and falling.

"He strangled the concubine's neck with all his strength. The concubine was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, so she tried her best to break his hand away. But the more she broke it open, the tighter he squeezed it. He said, since Your Majesty can remain indifferent to the fact that his Gusu family has no heirs, so why don’t you blame him for being so cruel as to take away your Majesty’s heir?”

The emperor suddenly felt as if he was struck by thunder, his heart twitched fiercely, his face turned white, his lips trembled, and his pupils were blurry, "I... I didn't ask Gu Zhen to execute Prince Duan himself in front of his tomb!"

In this case, even he himself has no confidence in what he said.

After the massacre of the Gusu family in Qibei, he was furious and personally assigned King Duan to investigate. King Duan was the real culprit. What could he find out? Unfortunately, at that time, he did not know the true face of King Duan and believed his words. .

King Duan said that the Gusu family had a grudge against Jianghu people, and they robbed money and silenced them. Their methods were superb and no clues could be found.

It happened that South Vietnam was in chaos at that time, and the emperor could not spare more energy, so the case was dropped.

For a long time after that, every time on the anniversary of the death of General Gusu, the emperor would always offer incense and worship at the altar in the palace, and invite eminent monks from the Great Buddha Temple to sing and chant sutras.

One is to commemorate General Gusu's family, and the other is to be afraid in his heart. After all, the person who died was a family with such heroic souls and such a miserable death method. It is inevitable that the souls of grievances will gather together and refuse to disperse.

During those days in Jiajia, ever since the news of the destruction of the Gusu family reached the palace, the Queen Mother had been bedridden. I heard from those who served in front of her that when the Queen Mother was in a coma, all she muttered was the word "Gusu". Even when he wakes up, he still sheds tears all day long and refuses to say a word, just thinking alone.

The imperial doctor took the pulse and inquired fluidly, but could not identify the cause of the illness. Seeing the Queen Mother becoming increasingly thin and depressed, the second thought that made the Emperor worried.

It was not until the beginning of the third year that the Queen Mother's condition improved. After that, because Gu Su Yan was gone and Gu Zhen was not involved in government affairs, he concentrated on asking questions and faded out of his sight. No one mentioned the Gu Su family and the Queen Mother again. His body became stronger and stronger, and he gradually put the matter aside.

I thought that even if there were resentful spirits that refused to go away, they would be saved by chanting Dharma for three years. Unexpectedly, the old general from Gusu actually approached Concubine Hui personally.

How could the emperor not be horrified by this?

He grabbed Concubine Hui's hand and didn't know when to let go. After being stunned, he suddenly grabbed it again and held it tightly in his palm. "What else did he say?"

Concubine Hui's hands were pinched by the emperor, and she felt the coldness and trembling from his fingertips to his palms.

After pondering for a while, Concubine Hui said: "What else can I say? I still remembered it when I woke up, but at this time, I couldn't remember it at all. I just felt that my neck was still covered by his pair of rough, calloused fingers. I pinched it with my big hands, and I was so pinched that I couldn’t breathe.”

Dreamers are like this.

The situation in the dream becomes more and more blurry as the time spent awake becomes longer, and all that remains are the feelings in the dream.

The emperor did not doubt that he was there. He was silent for a long time and put his arms around Concubine Hui's shoulders. His voice was hoarse as if it had been burned by coals. "Okay, it's just a nightmare. Don't be afraid anymore. I'm here. Tell me about this dream. Will it make you feel better?" ?”

Trying his best to hide the fear in his heart, the emperor pretended that nothing was wrong and comforted Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui ignored the emperor's pale cheeks without a trace of blood, nodded, stroked her chest and took a few deep breaths, "I feel much more relaxed."

The emperor patted her cheek and said, "Okay, go to sleep, it's okay."

They both lay down and huddled next to the emperor. Concubine Hui's breathing became even after a moment. It seemed that she had really fallen asleep. Listening to the quiet breathing in her ears, the emperor was no longer sleepy.

Today, I was so frightened during the day, and I was so drunk by him at night, the sad past was brought up one after another, and because of his questioning, I mentioned Gusu's house several times, no wonder Gusu The old general will marry Concubine Menghui.

Not to mention the uneasiness of the undead, just thinking about it every day and dreaming at night can explain everything.

With a heavy sigh in his heart, the emperor frowned.

offspring...

Yes, the Gusu family in Qibei has been loyal for generations. Now that his entire family has been wiped out, the only trace of blood left is Gu Yuqing and her unknown brother, whose surname is Gu Su...

No wonder the old general from Gusu said that he was ruthless and ruthless. Over the years, he had never thought of choosing a well-behaved child for the Gusu family to be his stepson and inherit his lineage!Not to mention carrying forward the mighty reputation of the Gusu family, just having someone sweep the house every death anniversary can also comfort the ghosts of the Gusu family.

When his thoughts reached this point, the emperor's heart twitched hard.

It was him who suddenly...

However, when it comes to choosing a stepson for the Gusu family, the parentage of the stepson must not be arbitrary. Not to mention that he is the legitimate son of a prince, general or prime minister, but it cannot be any worse. What's more, the child's character and appearance must be... Only those who are outstanding in everything are worthy of the name of the Gusu family.

If assigned randomly, those who go will only enjoy the glory of the Gusu family, but they will do evil things. Not only does it not comfort the old general's soul in heaven, but it makes him more and more uneasy.

What a sorrow in the heart of the Emperor!

Glancing at Concubine Hui, who was nestled beside him and had already fallen asleep with a peaceful look on her face, the emperor moved slightly, put on his clothes and went to the ground.

The bed is a tomb that makes people lose their minds. Lying on the bed, he can't think about it for the rest of his life. What's more, it's only been an hour since he got up for the morning. Naturally, he won't be able to fall asleep again, so he might as well Get up early and go to the imperial study.

On the one hand, he could calm down and think about it completely, and on the other hand, he would avoid disturbing Concubine Hui and make her have to get up to help him change clothes.

The emperor pushed open the door with a creaking sound. Concubine Hui's maid who was taking a nap at the door and the chamberlain who arrived at an unknown time were all stunned.

Why did the emperor come out at this time?

Just now, Concubine Hui made a heart-rending cry, but they really heard it. Could it be that Concubine Hui had angered the emperor?But looking at the emperor’s face, it doesn’t look like it!

Just as Concubine Hui's maid and the chamberlain secretly looked at each other without leaving any trace, the emperor stepped out of the threshold. The chamberlain immediately stepped forward to help him. The emperor ordered, "Don't disturb Concubine Hui's sleep."
