My husband is a traitor

Chapter 497 Sacrifice, Two Nonsense

In Renshou Palace.

"Okay, I promise you." The woman's voice was charming and cold, and seemed to be sarcasm, "But, Qi Rui, you have to promise me one condition."

The man looked spotless in white clothes, but there was no trace of tenderness on his face.

"Don't push yourself too far. To save your life is to remember the old love."

"Old love?" Gu Mingzhu seemed to have heard a huge joke, her tone turned cold, and said coldly, "Where is the love between you and me?"

After the words fell, Qi Rui's complexion changed slightly.

"I can give it to you, I have a condition." Just when he thought that Gu Mingzhu was going to play tricks again, he heard Gu Mingzhu say so.

The darkness made it difficult for people to see Gu Mingzhu's face clearly, so Qi Rui couldn't tell what kind of expression she had at this time.

"I want to honor my mother."

For a long time, Gu Mingzhu seemed to know what Qi Rui's silence represented. The gun and stick in her tone disappeared, but there was a sense of vicissitudes and sadness.

Qi Rui was stunned for a long time, and when he heard Gu Mingzhu say that he wanted to pay homage to her mother, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He thought of his mother who died after hitting a pillar, and also remembered...

They also lost their mother.

"it is good."

After a while, Qi Rui heard his answer spilling from his chest to his throat.

As soon as Qi Rui got the token that Gu Mingzhu handed over to order a strong army in the southern country, he personally led people out of the city.

Just last night, the Southern Kingdom was ready to move, and spies came to report that the Southern Royal Family had made a preliminary decision, and the new King wanted to seize the opportunity to snatch the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, in an attempt to muddy the waters of the Four Kingdoms and dominate the Four Kingdoms.

Dominate the four countries?Qi Rui rode his horse and hooked his lips, smiling coldly——

Don't even think about it.

Protector's Mansion.

How glorious it was once, how desolate it is now.

The vermilion paint seemed to be peeling off a bit, and the big seal on the door made people want to stop.

Gu Mingzhu tugged on her black cloak, her face was completely hidden in the cloak hat, only half of her pointed and thin chin was exposed.

"Squeak-"

She stepped forward, turning a blind eye to the shadow guards and bodyguards who were closely watching her, and tore off the seal with her hands. Before the guards could stop her, she threw the seal on the ground and walked in.

Things are right and wrong, no, things and people are wrong.

Looking at the empty and deserted Duke Protector's Mansion, Gu Mingzhu suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart——

Even if Gu Shengchang is no better than a beast, she still has to admit that the former Duke Protector's Mansion really gave her a peaceful and rich life and the capital to be proud and arrogant.

Once upon a time, she was high above the whole family and even the whole Lin'an. As long as she wanted, anyone could be humiliated and trampled under her feet.

When something goes wrong, the powerful father will help cover it up, the smart and exquisite mother will give her advice, and the nurses and maidservants around her will stand on their backs...

Aunt and Uncle Huang will pamper her in every possible way, but even if the cousin she misses is the only one who won't be used to her arrogance and domineering, he will listen to her explanation, pamper her, and settle her troubles for her.

But since when has everything changed?
She betrayed all relatives, those who loved her died because of her stupidity, the so-called close relatives were the executioners, and the person she loved the most smashed her dream with his own hands.

Overnight, she fell from the high peony into the soil and was crushed to pieces.

Her life has undergone earth-shaking changes, all of which—

All because of one person.

I followed my memory to find my mother’s yard, and as spring and autumn come, the unpleasant smell of medicine in the house seems to still linger in my nostrils, and the image of my mother holding her hand tightly before her death to keep her alive can also vaguely emerge in front of my eyes... …

Gu Mingzhu stretched out her white hands that did not touch the spring water, took her own handkerchief, and wiped off the dust on the bronze mirror bit by bit, looking at her own appearance that gradually became clear, Gu Mingzhu's lifeless eyes Moved slightly.

It turns out that she is not a ghost or a ghost now.

After going to the ancestral hall, Gu Mingzhu knelt in front of Mrs. Gu's tablet, kowtowed devoutly and sincerely.

"Mother... Mingzhu, I'm back to see you." There was a mist in front of her eyes, and she squeezed out a pretty bright smile on her much thinner face, but this smile only had a bright and beautiful appearance, but it was not as arrogant as before. The essence of ego.

She walked forward on her knees, holding the tablet, her face pressed against the cold lettering on the tablet, and gently stroking the body of the tablet with her fingertips.

"Mother, Mingzhu is useless, she suffered a crushing defeat...but Mingzhu avenged you, father should make amends for you underground now...and aunt, you should be happy, right?

As for my daughter, I am now like a bereaved dog, imprisoned in the palace by Qi Rui... But don't worry, I will live and live well.Until the day when the long-cherished wish came true. "

When she said this, a glimmer of light and darkness flashed in those gray-blue eyes, like a dormant beast waking up, eager to come out.

"Mother, you have to help me."

Gu Mingzhu slowly stretched her hand behind the spirit tablet and caressed it gently, as if she was acting like a baby.

Outside the house, the guards and shadow guards who heard Gu Mingzhu talking like a lunatic inside exchanged looks with contempt and impatience.

"Okay, let's go after the worship!" The head guard in charge of guarding and escorting shouted loudly to Gu Mingzhu who was inside, and his tone was impatient, rather aggressive.

It's no wonder that this person is making trouble now, but it's Gu Mingzhu who used to offend the palace servants a lot in the palace, and beat, scolded and punished countless times because of his status——

And this chief guard is one of the many.

When he was just a small guard in the palace, once he was on duty, he accidentally took an extra look at the beautiful eldest daughter from the Duke Protector's mansion, and the latter angrily ordered him to give him twenty slaps... It's hard not to keep this kind of enmity in his heart.

In the past, he didn't dare to be angry because of his identity, but now that the feng shui has changed, he naturally looked for an opportunity to get this bad breath back.

Gu Mingzhu just snorted indifferently and mockingly from her nasal cavity. If she had done it before, she would definitely have stabbed a sentence of "things that rely on people's power", but now, she only snorted, then slowly got up, holding the tablet and putting it back to its original place , stood up cleanly, turned around, and left the ancestral hall without looking back.

The wide cloak perfectly covered her skinny body, and with her hands folded in the wide sleeves, she looked a bit pitiful and fragile when she looked at Kong Luoluo.

It's just that no one will sympathize with her. Under the beautiful appearance, the poisoned heart is the most terrifying.

Quietly and cooperatively, she walked out of the ancestral hall and closed the door. Gu Mingzhu walked ahead, pulled down her hat without saying a word, covered her face completely, lowered her eyelashes slightly to look at the ground, walked gracefully, and kept her back straight.

She didn't say anything until she got into the carriage, but when the carriage set off, her lips covered under the hat slightly curved into a smile that was not a smile.
