Prosperous advisors

Chapter 237 Identity Exposure (3)
Wei Li was silent for a moment without hiding anything, "That's right, no matter what your status is, if a person like Your Excellency can't assist His Highness the Eighth Highness, then it's better not to appear in the capital." It was impossible to hide it, since Gu Xiuting had exposed his thoughts, Wei Li simply admitted it.

Gu Xiuting nodded and said: "Since I know this, General Wei should know... I won't be unprepared."

Wei Li frowned and thought for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Gu Xiuting was not surprised by this.He would be surprised if Wei Li didn't show up today.Originally... although he didn't have a good impression of Murong Zhao, he didn't have any bad feelings either, but now... Wei Li said what he shouldn't say, so he had to pay the due price!

Ignoring Murong Zhao who was hesitant to speak, Gu Xiuting turned around and walked out of the courtyard with a calm expression.The back was neither fast nor slow, as if he didn't feel that someone was watching behind him.Just knowing that Gu Xiuting's back disappeared behind the moon-shaped door, Wei Li didn't move.

"Grandpa..." Murong Zhao said worriedly.

Wei Li sighed, and looked at Murong Zhao worriedly.Compared with Prince Zhi and Prince Gong, this grandson is still too young.It was all spoiled by his daughter.This time, Wei Li realized that something was wrong from the very beginning.Such a precise layout and arrangement was simply beyond what Murong Zhao could do, and the traces were revealed after a question.It's just that Gu Xiuting is obviously no easier to deal with than his grandfather, this time he underestimated the enemy so much that he failed in success.

After a while, a guard from the Wei family hurried in to report, "Master... that young master..."

Wei Li narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Did you lose track?"

The guard nodded, and said with some shame: "I just left the other courtyard not far away, and I lost my trace."

Wei Li's heart trembled, most of the guards of the Wei family had followed him through life and death on the battlefield, Gu Xiuting was able to disappear without a trace under the noses of these people, it really was not easy.At the same time, a cold sweat broke out in my heart. Fortunately, I didn't do anything to Gu Xiuting just now, otherwise...the concubine Rong in the palace might really have an accident.

While Wei Li and Murong Zhao were worried about Gu Xiuting, Mr. Xiuting had already entered the capital, and was sitting leisurely in the wing room of Qing'an Pavilion drinking tea.Sitting opposite him were Murong Xi and Mu Qingyi.

"It seems that Murong Zhao's side is going well?" Mu Qingyi smiled slightly.

Gu Xiuting smiled lightly and said, "Except for a little, it's nothing in general."

Murong Xi tapped on the table, looked at Mu Qingyi and said, "Qingyi thinks that the sixth brother will attack me and the ninth brother?"

Mu Qingyi nodded and said, "It's just a guess, but I've heard... King Lie of the Northern Han Dynasty said that Murong Yu and Wang Rongyan of Xiyueduan have been secretly and closely related in the past few days, and they may jump over the wall in a hurry." Murong Xi didn't pay attention, but Gu Xiuting did. When Mu Qingyi was talking about King Lie of the Northern Han Dynasty, he paused slightly and squinted his eyes, knowing the information provider.

"Since Qingyi said so, cousin, you'd better be more careful these days." Gu Xiuting advised, "I'm afraid the guards in your house won't work, why don't you bring some more?"

Murong Xi shook his head and refused, and said with a light smile: "Forget it, although my mansion is not impenetrable, but if Murong Yu wants to assassinate the prince in the imperial city, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Gu Xiuting reminded.Murong Xi smiled lightly, and changed the subject, apparently not paying attention to the two people's persuasion.

Gu Xiuting and Mu Qingyi looked at each other helplessly.For a person who is doomed to die soon and already has no nostalgia for this world, dying in bed may be no different from being assassinated to death.

Murong Xi pondered and said: "Instead of waiting to see what Murong Yu wants to do, why don't we force him to act first."

Gu Xiuting looked at him, frowned and said, "What does cousin mean?"

"Master Zhu." Murong Xi said indifferently.For Zhu Shi, the woman who killed his mother and queen, Murong Xi naturally hated her to the bone.It might be a good idea for her son to watch her beheaded.

"Cousin, do you want to greet Mrs. Zhu?" Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and smiled.She naturally understood Murong Xi's mood. If it was Murong Yu who was locked in the prison at this time, she would definitely not be able to help but want to watch.

Murong Xi was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, on the day of execution, this king will go see her off."

In the innermost part of the dark sky prison cell, there is no sunshine all year round, and it is full of cold atmosphere and weird stench.In the dark prison cell, there were only two oil lamps burning with bean-sized lights.It made the prison cell look damp and hot in June, and it was torture to stay here for only half a quarter of an hour.

Because this is the innermost part of the prison cell, it is even more difficult to escape from the prison, so the prison guards hardly come in.The only sound in the cell was the noise of the prisoners.There were very few people in this cell, but this time, a lot of people were locked in at once.The entire dungeon was crowded with people.And the innermost and darkest one shuts a woman with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair and blood on her body.

This person is naturally Zhu Shi. After more than 20 years of being pampered and pampered in the palace, once degraded, it will be the darkest and coldest sky prison.Zhu Shi has been lying on the ground since she was thrown into the cell, unable to get up.Before she was thrown out of the palace, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to deliver a reward of fifty boards.If it wasn't for the beater who was anxious that she would be killed someday, I'm afraid she would be beaten to death as a result.

It can be regarded as a special treatment for Mrs. Zhu, who was locked in a cage alone.The rest of the Zhu family were a few or even a dozen people who were stuffed in a cage.Eating, drinking and lazing were all inside, which made the whole cell even more stinking and unbearable.

For Mrs. Zhu, this was a blessing, because if she hadn't been alone in a cage, she would have been torn to pieces by the Zhu family.Originally, the members of the Zhu family were still enjoying the glory and wealth because of the Zhu family and Murong Yu and Murong An, but who knew that they were thrown into the sky prison suddenly, and they were still asked to be executed at a later date.

On the first day, there were still people yelling and clamoring, and on the second day, people began to complain to Mrs. Zhu.These people finally began to despair after discovering that the Prince Gong they had been looking forward to had never appeared.Then he began to scold Mrs. Zhu, and finally became as insulting as possible.In addition to this, these people don't know how to vent their fear and despair.And the culprit of all this is Zhu Shi?

Mrs. Zhu was lying on the wet haystack, listening to the hoarse insults of the clansmen next to her ears, tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes, across her filthy face and dripped onto the haystack on the ground.But in just a few days, Zhu Shi, who is only in her 40s and is proud of her maintenance, has aged a lot, and even the gray hair on her temples is still faintly visible.
