marriage gentleman

Chapter 44

Royal study.

There is a bright yellow scroll on the imperial case, which has not yet been opened.

Qi Xuan was sitting in front of the case, wearing a dragon robe, he now owned the whole world, he was the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of the Great Zhou, and there was nothing to fear him anymore.However, at this time, he looked at the bright yellow scroll, but hesitation appeared on his face.

Qi Guang said that the imperial decree for succession had already been drawn up, and it was on the second shelf of the imperial study.

And this bright yellow scroll was taken from the second bookshelf.

Qi Xuan didn't open it for a long time, he didn't know what he was hesitating about.He had endured it for many years, and finally he was shamed and climbed to this position.But now, every word Qi Guang said in the dungeon kept ringing in his mind.

"If you give me a quilt, I will give you the imperial decree to pass on the throne..."

"Brother, if you get into that position with infamy, you will be infamous forever..."

"I never threatened you, and I would never do such a thing, nor did I say those words..."

"seeing is believing……"

"You only said that you heard it from me, so have you ever seen me?"

Even though she has reached such a situation, she still looks like she doesn't care, as if the emperor he has endured for many years is not as good as a quilt to her.

Her expression is frank and frank, her brows and eyes are bright and bright, and her eyes are crystal clear.

All these seem to be saying—Qi Xuan, you have misunderstood everything.

At this time, a servant walked in.

Qi Xuan withdrew all expressions, and only listened to the report from the servant: "Your Majesty, the poisoned wine has been sent to the dungeon by Mr. Lu."

Qi Xuan said: "Back off."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He looked at the bright yellow scroll on the imperial case again, and after a while, he finally stretched out his hand.

The scroll unrolls slowly.Lu Li held the tray and walked all the way to the dungeon.The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the weather is getting colder and colder.Behind him were two guards, one of whom was holding an umbrella for Lu Li.

When he arrived at the dungeon, Lu Li smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

The face of the guard behind him changed drastically, and he said, "My lord, something is wrong."

I saw the guard outside the gate drunkenly lying aside, walking in, whether it was the jailer or the guard guarding the gate, they all fell to the ground.Lu Li's usually calm expression also changed slightly.

He walked quickly to the innermost cage.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Qi Guang's shaking feet met his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Guang's pale face and tongue sticking out.

The two guards were startled and took a step back.

Only Lu Li looked at her steadfastly, his expression remained motionless, as if he was frozen by ice and snow.It wasn't until there was a "bang" that the tray in his hand fell to the ground and the wine glass shattered all over the floor, did Lu Li come back to his senses.

His speed was like a gust of wind.

Before the two guards could react, Lu Li had already hugged Qi Guang who had hanged himself.As soon as he breathed out, his whole body froze.At this time, the two guards behind him said: "Lord Lu, this...how should this be done?"

His Majesty ordered to be poisoned, but now she hanged herself first.

There was no ups and downs in Lu Li's voice.

He said: "Go back and report to Your Majesty."

"How... how to report?"

Lu Li said, "Report truthfully."

"Yes!" As soon as the two guards left, only Lu Li, the fainted jailer brother, and "Qi Guang" who had committed suicide were left inside.He threw away the corpse in his arms, and his expression became extremely strange.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the blood book on the ground - No more entering the royal family in the next life.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Lu Li's expression became more and more strange.

He suddenly took off the top of the female corpse, his eyes gliding over her breasts, then he fetched the lamp on the table, took out the candle, and burned it on her left breast, and then put the clothes back on the female corpse without changing his expression.

He began to look around the dungeon, and after a careful look, Fang walked out of the dungeon expressionlessly.Qi Xuan finally read the imperial decree left by Qi Guang word by word.

As Qi Guang said, this is an imperial decree to pass on the throne.Qi Guang didn't lie to him, it was true.Qi Xuan's expression changed in an instant, and he remembered all the things he had with Qi Guang before.

If Qi Guang was really afraid of her, he would not let him marry the daughters of the Zhou family and the Murong family.

if……

The servant hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Qi Guang hanged himself."

Qi Xuan was stunned, his face suddenly became strange, he said: "Impossible, impossible, Qi Guang will not commit suicide." He gritted his teeth, and said: "I will go to the dungeon to see clearly."

She obviously didn't care about these things, how could she commit suicide?
It must be her trick!
It must be a lie!

The amiable elder sister who has been amiable since she was a child will not commit suicide!
However, when he saw the female corpse on the ground with his own eyes, he couldn't utter a word.He stared at "Qi Guang" blankly, without blinking his eyes.

Lu Li said behind him: "Your Majesty, she has already gone."

Qi Xuan didn't react at all, and still stared at her blankly.After a long time, he sighed and said, "Give it a proper burial, in the name of Emperor Guangyong."

"Your Majesty, I beg you."

"Say it."

Lu Li lowered his eyes and said softly: "If something unexpected happens to my minister, I hope that I can be buried with Emperor Guangyong."

Qi Xuan glanced at Lu Li.

After a while, he said, "Sure." The construction of Emperor Guangyong's mausoleum had already begun when he ascended the throne, and the new emperor ordered people to speed up the progress. Half a month later, Qi Guang's mausoleum was gradually completed.

Emperor Guangyong's ceremonies lasted for ten days. Fortunately, it was cold and the corpse did not stink easily after being left for a long time.Lu Li and Zhou Muqing were both present at the ceremony on the last day.Zhou Muqing was still unwilling to believe that Qi Guang would commit suicide. He stared at Qi Guang's corpse for many days, feeling weird in his heart.

After several hardships, Fang Fang found a chance to be alone with Qi Guang's corpse.

He looked at her, fixedly looked at her.

The eyebrows and eyes are still the same, the lips and nose are still the same, and the facial features are the same as before. He stretched out his hand and untied Emperor Guangyong's clothes.At this moment, Lu Li walked in, and he scolded, "What are you doing!"

Zhou Muqing quickly tore open his bellyband.

Lu Li strode towards him, but Zhou Muqing murmured, "It really is her."

Lu Li said indifferently: "Who else could it be if it wasn't her? You hate her so much? She is dead, and you don't want her to be at peace? I'll pretend I don't know about today's events, and I won't tell anyone. "

Saying that, Lu Li pulled up his bellyband, fastened his belt again, and quickly put on his coat for Emperor Guangyong in the coffin.

Zhou Muqing clasped his wrist.

Lu Li looked at him sideways.

"You... think it's her too?"

Lu Li didn't answer, but said: "This time I'm afraid she really hurt her heart. My brother rebelled, you too, and me... Under the triple blow, it's not surprising that she would commit suicide. And you've seen it too. Book of blood in the dungeon."

Zhou Muqing murmured: "I won't enter the royal family in my next life..."

She would say this, presumably because she really hated them.

When she was by his side in the past, she never said such a thing, even if she no longer wanted to be the emperor, she never did.Now that she wrote such a sentence with blood, her heart must have been scarred.

He suddenly looked at Lu Li with burning eyes.

"Did she... have you dreamed about it?"

"No."

Zhou Muqing said: "I'm afraid you are the person she hates the most."

Lu Li said, "She will forgive me."

Zhou Muqing sneered and said: "The person has gone, how do you know she will forgive you?" Before Lu Li could reply, he sneered again and said, "That's all." Everyone has gone, and this life is like a trip to the world In the middle of the circle, I met someone I shouldn't have met.

Drink a bowl of Mengpo soup, and you will not remember anything in your next life.

He staggered away, leaving behind the smell of alcohol all the way.

The snow is falling heavily, mixed with paper money dancing all over the sky, and the air is full of the smell of ingot candles.Lu Li silently glanced at Emperor Guangyong in the coffin, then walked away slowly.

On the day that Emperor Guangyong was buried, a particularly strange thing happened in the capital.

It was obviously a heavy snow day, but Lu Mansion suddenly flooded.

The fire burned for two full days and one night, and the huge Lu Mansion was burned to ashes. In this fire, the only person who lost his life was the owner of the Lu Mansion——Lu Li.

After the fire was extinguished, the servants brought out a charred corpse. Although the face could not be discerned, the figure was the same as that of Lu Li, and even the ornaments on the body were exactly the same.

Qi Xuan remembered that day when Lu Li told him that if something happened to him one day, he hoped to be buried with Emperor Guangyong.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he ordered: "Buried with Emperor Guangyong."

This matter was widely spread in the capital.

Qi Xuan remembered the day when his mother passed away, Lu Ren also went with him, and now that Qi Guang was buried, Lu Li also went with him.He looked towards the distant edge and sighed: "Maybe this is God's will."
