Chapter 197 Heartless Palace Master (Part [-])
Ningguo Mansion
Gu Yun's funeral was grand and grand. On the day of his funeral, the sun was shining brightly in the morning, and then the weather was gloomy and windy in the afternoon.

A group of children and relatives went out of the city for the funeral, and the female relatives were ordered to stop and return home.

Gu Xiangsi glanced at it before, and the yin-yang basin that Gu Yuhan dropped was not broken enough. If it is true according to superstition, the descendants of the Gu family should not be too prosperous.

Gu Yuhan walked at the front holding the spiritual tablet, Gu Yusheng and his brothers followed behind, the mourning flags were fluttering in the wind, the Taoist priests were chanting scriptures all the way, the butler led people to sprinkle valuables all the way, and the Suona team followed all the way, it was tick-tock Answer, it's really exciting to die.

The Gu family's ancestral home is Xilan City, and there is an ancestral grave in the east of Xilan City.

After they buried Gu Yun in the ground, they all went back.

And after they left, a woman dressed in black, with a black veil wrapped around her head, half of her face covered by the black veil, except for a pair of seductive eyes, came to Gu Yun's grave.

Looking at the tombstone with tears in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to gently touch the words on the tombstone, her eyes full of complicated sadness and resentment.

In the end, she still knelt in front of the tombstone, bit her finger, and wrote her name beside it.

In the end, she pulled out the sword at her waist and killed herself in front of Gu Yun's grave.

Then came another woman in purple, but it was already too late when she arrived.

A girl in a yellow shirt followed behind her. When she saw the dead woman in black in front of Gu Yun's grave, she covered her mouth and said with tears in her eyes, "Master, why bother? It's just It's just a heartless man who has abandoned her for so many years, why would she..."

"Master made Master swear to the sky that she and Gu Yun would never meet each other forever. Master did it. During the years that Gu Yun lived, Master never stepped out of the Heartless Palace. But now that Gu Yun is dead, the oath is broken." , Master, she... After all, she still couldn't let go of this man who hurt her the most." Before the woman in purple finished speaking, she was already crying.Master is so stupid, it's not worth dying for such a man.

"Dare to ask, the woman who appeared in Ningguo Mansion crying on the night of Gu Yun's death was your master?" Ning Yezi appeared not far behind them in black and white hair. She was still wearing the same patternless dress. He was wearing a black shirt with large sleeves, holding a sword in his hand, and stood not far away, watching the three of them, master and apprentice, for a long time.

The girl in yellow turned around suddenly and was about to draw her sword, but was stopped by the woman in purple.She looked at the other party, cupped her hands politely and said, "I am the chief disciple of the Lord of Jueqing Palace, Qingjue, this is my fourth junior sister Xinjue. The one who committed suicide in front of Ningguogong's grave is my teacher. Please also ask Xiangjiang County For the sake of being poor women, Madam asked our sisters to leave with our tutor. As for what the Madam of Xiangjiang County said... To be honest with Madam, when the tutor received the news of Ning Guogong's death, it was Ning Guogong who had passed away. It's the fifth day."

Ning Yezi nodded slightly at this, looked at the poor woman who committed suicide in front of Gu Yun's grave, and said indifferently: "If you don't mind, let her be buried with Gu Yun."

Desperately looking at Ning Yezi's back as she turned and left, Qing frowned and said, "Ma'am, Ning Guogong is yours..."

"Sleeping with him once made me sick, why would I still share the same acupuncture point with him after death, and made him sick to me for life after life." Ning Yezi left with her sword. For Gu Yun, she hoped that after this farewell, future Life after life, I will never see him again.

This Mrs. Gu, she really deserves enough.

After Ning Yezi left, Xinjue was very surprised, and even said in disbelief: "Senior sister, did I hear you right? This lady of Xiangjiang County actually agreed to let another woman be buried with his husband?"

People who are buried with their husbands, but those who only have their main wives, cannot be buried with the head of the family continuously.

But the lady of Xiangjiang County agreed to let an unknown woman like her master be buried with Gu Yun?
"I heard that the lady of Xiangjiang County is a strange woman, but I saw her today, she is really good." Qing Jue admired this lady of Xiangjiang County. If the master had half the calmness and determination of the lady of Xiangjiang County, how could he have ended up in such a miserable end.

"Then what should we do now? Are we really going to bury Master and Gu Yun together?" Although Xin Jue was young, he did not agree with such a thing from the bottom of his heart.

Qing despaired of Master who died in front of Gu Yun's grave, closed his eyes sadly and sighed: "Let's be buried together! This is also Master's lifelong wish."

Not being able to sleep in the same bed in life, but in the same acupuncture point in death, is also a destination for her master.

Xinjue gripped the sword in her hand tightly, she didn't want to be buried with Master and disgusting man like Gu Yun, but... Forget it, let's bury together!

Qing Jue walked over, bent down and hugged her master, and told Xin Jue: "Go get someone to prepare a coffin, tonight... let them be buried together."

"I see, I'm going now." Xinjue turned and left with tears in her eyes. She was regarded as a child brought up by the master alone. She was sadder than anyone else when the master went like this.

Qing Jue hugged her master, put her master in the shade, stretched out her hand to lift the veil of the master, wanted to tidy up the face of the master, but unexpectedly saw the word "荇" engraved on the left cheek of the master, it is I don't know what kind of medicine was used to make the scars as black as ink.

How stupid is Master?The former number one beauty in the world, but personally ruined her own face because of Gu Yun.

Now, because of such a heartless and ungrateful man, even his life was lost.

does it worth?How much she wanted to wake up Master and ask, is it worth it for her to do this for Gu Yun?
……

Ning Yezi left the Gu family's ancestral grave, and stood alone on the edge of a cliff outside the city with a sword in hand. The wind on the edge of the cliff was very strong, but she didn't feel the cold at all. She only felt that when she looked up at the blue sky, she felt that at this moment , myself is so free.

Once Gu Yun died, she could be completely liberated.

A murderous aura struck, the person who came was dressed in red like fire, and also wore a fiery fangs ghost mask on his face.Holding a sword in one hand, the offensive was extremely fierce and murderous.

Ning Yezi drew her sword and turned around, blocked the opponent's sword, flew up, and turned behind the opponent. She didn't ask why the opponent wanted to kill her, but just held the sword and went back and forth with the opponent. kill each other.

The martial arts of the woman in red is not weak, and her swordsmanship is even more superb. Against Ning Yezi who is good at using silver spears but not good at swordsmanship, she definitely has a huge advantage.

Ning Yezi is indeed not good at swordsmanship. This swordsmanship was taught to her by Feng Qiji back then. She practiced it fairly, but not exquisitely.

The woman in red wanted to force Ning Yezi off the cliff, but failed several times.In a hurry and anger, she actually started to throw hidden weapons.

When Ning Yezi saw the opponent throwing a concealed weapon at her, she also remembered that she still had a few golden feather needles given to her by her daughter!

The woman in red was ready to dodge when Ning Yezi took out a slap-sized carved golden long concealed weapon.

Ning Yezi's hidden weapon shot out five dazzling golden needles in succession.

The woman in red dodged four of them, but the last one scratched the back of her hand, and the golden feather needle instantly melted into water, burning the back of her hand. She groaned in pain, then waved her sleeves and left extremely quickly.

Ning Yezi didn't chase the woman, she just walked over after the woman left, squatted down and looked at the golden feather needles on the ground, they were all shattered and turned into water, this water... even stones can be corroded ?

No wonder Xiangsi and Ah Yue had warned her thousands of times before, not to let her touch these golden feather needles with her hands, but to keep them in this hidden weapon barrel.

It turned out that this needle was so powerful that after it was broken, the liquid that flowed out could rot the corroded flesh to the bone.

I don't know how Xiangsi and Ah Yue practiced?It seems that it is still very precious, and a total of ten needles are installed in this hidden weapon barrel.

If she had known that the injection was so powerful, she would not have given so many injections all at once.

well!Gu Yun is really dead, and there is no peace for anyone.

……

Fragrance Xiaozhu
On the way, Shaoyao cut off a piece of her own flesh with a sword, and then returned to Anxiang Xiaozhu. Xia Jinhua used a good elixir to heal her wound.

After Xia Jinhua treated and bandaged the wound, she shook her head and said, "I saved my hand, but it's hard to recover. Shaoyao, this is the price for your restlessness."

Shao Yao glared at Xia Jinhua with red eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "My lord wanted Ning Yezi's life many years ago, don't you know?"

"Master doesn't want Ning Yezi's life, but... I really can't tell you about this, it's a secret." Xia Jinhua said half of what he said on purpose, because he wanted to hang on to Shaoyao.

After Xia Jinhua left, Shao Yao angrily smashed everything on the table.

She has been with the lord for so long, and she doesn't know as much as Xiang Lengmei.

Now, Xia Jinhua hesitated to speak, as if there was something in Ning Yezi that the lord wanted.

But what could it be?If the lord wanted it, he could arrest Ning Yezi and torture him to extract a confession. She didn't believe that Ning Yezi's bones would be harder than those criminal laws.

"Girl, this is the wine list for the Jingui Poetry Club in three days, please have a look." Two maidservants arrived and presented a red wine list.

Shao Yao frowned and said impatiently: "Understood, let's go!"

"Yes." The two maidservants put down the drink list, bowed their heads and retreated.

Shao Yao picked up the drink list with her uninjured hand and looked at it, then threw it on the table impatiently.

I don't know how Xiang Lengmei can stand these literati, each of them knows how to recite poems and drink as much as they want, and sometimes let her accompany them to recite poems to make friends, hum!She doesn't bother to accompany these scholars to be arty!
After the two maidservants left, they talked sadly along the way.

"Ah! Since Miss Da was imprisoned in the ice cellar, this girl Shaoyao took over Anxiang Xiaozhu, and the number of people coming from Anxiang Xiaozhu has become less and less."

"Who says it's not? If this continues, the girl's years of hard work will be ruined by this girl Shaoyao."

"I don't know what the lord thinks and let her replace the girl."

"Hey! If Anxiang Xiaozhu is gone, we don't know where to go."

"Oh! There is no way, take one step, count it as one step!"

Xia Jinhua heard the conversation between the two little girls in the dark, and he also frowned, turned around and walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.

There is a secret ice cellar in the backyard, and the ice stored is mostly for those who participate in the poetry meeting in summer, and ice wine is used to cool off the heat.

Now, it is used to imprison Xiang Lengmei.

In the ice cellar, Xiang Lengmei was wearing a thin white dress with wide sleeves, and her hair was covered with black hair. She was meditating to keep out the cold. The previous injury had healed, and she had already stayed in the ice cellar for a day and a night.

Xia Jinhua walked in on the steps, looked at her with his hands behind his back and asked, "Are you still unwilling to kill Li Mingjing?"

"I owe him my life, and I should pay him back." Xiang Lengmei closed her eyes, and Panxi sat on a hu bed and meditated.

For Li Mingjing, she felt extremely guilty.

I wanted to keep both sides, but I didn't think that Shaoyao didn't need her protection at all, and Li Mingjing was caught by her sword instead...

Even if his life was saved, she would have ruined his life.

She owed him a life and deserved to pay it back.

Xia Jinhua walked over with his hands behind his back, stood in front of Xiang Lengmei, frowned and persuaded her: "You gave Li Mingjing a sword, which almost killed him, and now he may hate you to death, why should you Do you want to beg for death for a...a man who hates you?"

"That's because the young master has never pretended to be alone in his heart. If one day, the young master has someone in his heart, he will understand why Leng Mei wants to die for this." Xiang Lengmei's expression was very calm, but anyone You could hear the pain and guilt in her tone.

"There is someone in your heart?" Xia Jinhua admired Xiang Lengmei very much, but he clearly understood that he had never put Xiang Lengmei in his heart.

Therefore, he didn't understand what Xiang Lengmei said about having someone in her heart.

Xia Jinhua left, but Xiang Lengmei was still imprisoned in the ice cellar, enduring the cold and never admitting her mistake.

……

fifth day of july
A few days after Gu Yun's death, his little sister Gu Jinhan had left with Gao Yong.

Gu Jincui did not leave, but Sun Huaan had already gone back.

On this day, Gu Jincui brought her daughter to Anning Hall to talk with her mother.

After the death of her son, Mrs. Gu's mental state is not as good as before.After hearing her daughter's words, she leaned on the big pillow, slowly raised her eyes to look at her daughter and granddaughter, frowned slightly and said, "You want Yi'er to marry Yusheng? Do you think Wen's might marry her?" agree?"

"Where does she have a place to talk about this matter? It's just a concubine's room. If she is promoted, she is half a master. If she is not promoted, she is no more than a servant." Gu Jincui curled her lips in disdain. She has always looked down upon these concubines like Shi and the others.

If it wasn't for the eldest sister-in-law who didn't give birth to a concubine for her elder brother, how could she wrong her youngest daughter and marry Gu Yusheng, a concubine?
Mrs. Gu also felt that what her daughter said was right, the Wen family was a concubine, and it was indeed not her turn to make decisions about their children's marriage.

However, Ning Yezi has always treated Wen's and the others very well, and she was afraid that she would turn to Wen's at that time, and if Wen didn't nod, she would never agree to this marriage.

"Mother, look, my daughter is not worthy of him, Gu Yusheng, no matter in appearance or status?" Gu Jincui half hugged the little daughter sitting beside her, with a look of pride on her face. Gu Yusheng also has obvious contempt.

If there was no good choice, she would not choose Gu Yusheng, a concubine, or even a second concubine, as her son-in-law.

In fact, Gu Zhuo is better than Gu Yusheng, no matter in terms of background or ability, he is a son-in-law that makes her more satisfied.

But Gu Zhuo has been guarding the frontier all year round. Her daughter was spoiled and spoiled, but she couldn't stand the wind, knife and frost in Saibei.

So, she should choose Gu Yusheng for her daughter!
In fact, Sun Yiran still has his eyes on Cousin Sheng, because he is better-looking than Cousin Zhuo, and he looks gentle, so he must be a husband who treats his wife very gentle after marriage.

Mrs. Gu looked at this granddaughter who was only 12 years old this year. She was indeed a natural beauty, and she was also the daughter of the Sun family, so she was worthy to accompany Gu Yusheng.

"Mother, think about it carefully. Yi'er is your granddaughter. When she gets married, she will be your granddaughter-in-law. Isn't she better than a foreigner?" Gu Jincui was afraid that her mother would be hesitant, so she had to hurry up. Throwing some bait, her mother can see the benefits, so that she can do her best to help their mother and daughter achieve their wishes!
Mrs. Gu thinks about it carefully, the granddaughter-in-law is no better than a granddaughter-in-law from outside, right?

As soon as Gu Jincui saw that her mother was tempted, she immediately made persistent efforts and said: "Mother, after Gu Yusheng becomes the Duke of Ningguo, and Yi'er becomes the mistress of the Duke of Ning, you old ancestor, don't use it." Have you suffered from her Ning Yezi's uselessness?"

Mrs. Gu has enjoyed the blessings of a lifetime, but she doesn't want to grow old, and instead have no such blessings to enjoy.

Gu Jincui and his daughter looked at each other with a look of satisfaction in their eyes.After convincing the old lady, many things will be easier to handle next.

Sun Yiran knew that Mother would go to Wen's to talk to her next time. If Wen's nod, Gu Yusheng would be the Patriarch of Duke Ning's Mansion. If Wen didn't nod...then she wouldn't know what to do.

I can't, let her give in to that toad Gu Yubo, right?She doesn't want it!

"You guys go down! I have to think carefully about how to talk to your sister-in-law about these things." Mrs. Gu hasn't reached the stage of being confused yet, this matter is not something she can decide with a single word, who to choose as the head of the Gu family But Ning Yezi made the decision.

Ning Yezi has also been preparing for the past few days, and it should be reported to the emperor soon, who will be chosen as Duke Ning.

"Yes, my daughter is retiring, mother, please rest well." Gu Jincui got up and pulled her daughter to salute the old lady, and then took her daughter back.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Mother Ke persuaded the old lady: "Old lady, you can't interfere in this matter. If you really interfere, the lady will let go after choosing the Duke of the country and leave. The entire Ningguo Mansion...the eldest lady is just the wife's daughter, she doesn't even look down on you, if the lady leaves the Ningguo mansion, do you think the eldest lady will still help her mother's family?"

"I understand everything, but... oh!" Mrs. Gu closed her eyes tiredly. She gave birth to four children in her life, the second son died tragically on the battlefield, and the eldest son was in a coma for many years. Now she has abandoned her as an old lady.

Now, she only had these two daughters left. How could she have the heart to refuse the elder daughter's request?
As a mother, you can't always be hard-hearted to your children.
