Chapter 529 Pay the price
She and Gu Qingyuan had a life-and-death relationship, so how could he leave her just because of this matter?
But Gu Qingyuan's expression was extremely serious at this moment, and he didn't seem to be joking.
"This matter is of great importance, and I don't want to implicate you."
You Yu's face was also serious, and he said seriously: "I won't leave. As long as you need me, I will stand behind you."
Gu Qingyuan looked at her with some emotion.
You Yu raised his hands and hugged her, comforting her: "I know you must be very anxious right now. Ah Wang, I, and the people from Tianji Pavilion are on your side."
"it is good."
When Jing Qianfan and Qingluan heard that Gu Qingyuan was coming, they hurried over to see her.
There was concern for her in both of their eyes.
"Master, I'm so glad you're okay!"
If You Yu hadn't told Gu Qingyuan to stay in Tianji Pavilion and wait, he would have brought his men to kill them long ago.
Jing Qianfan walked over and lay on Gu Qingyuan's body to check for any wounds.
Gu Qingyuan pushed him away helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."
However, she became extremely anxious when she thought that her mother was still imprisoned in prison.
Especially since her mother still doesn’t know what kind of punishment she will face.
Therefore, the sooner her mother is rescued, the better.
Inside the palace.
When the Sixth Princess discovered that the imperial seal was missing, her face turned gloomy.
The person guarding the Sixth Princess's Palace wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. How did the jade seal disappear?"
The Sixth Princess kicked the palace maid to the ground.
"Did you hide it?"
"I absolutely dare not!"
But the Sixth Princess continued to beat and kick the palace maid.
After the beating, the palace maid had already died. She was beaten to death by the Sixth Princess.
"What bad luck." The Sixth Princess had her dragged out.
She was about to send someone out to look for the seal, but she felt that the fact that the seal was lost should not be known to others.
The Sixth Princess called Cuizhu, who was beside her, and told her, "Go check who has been here today."
It’s best not to let her find out who took the seal.
Otherwise, she would make that person pay the price.
in prison.
General Gu sat quietly, with food and water placed next to her.
She didn't even look at it, just staring at the wall in a daze.
It was as if she didn't feel the pain in her body, and her expression looked wooden.
However, when she thought of Gu Qingyuan, the expression on her face finally changed a little.
Gu Qingyuan came here yesterday. She didn’t know whether those people attacked her. It didn’t matter if she got injured, but she didn’t want to see her daughter get hurt.
General Gu was a little worried about her.
When she wanted to get up, she found that her body was numb.
Gu family.
The lights were brightly on, and the Sixth Princess's men were guarding outside, not letting anyone inside out.
Wen Shubai was extremely worried. Gu Qingyuan had already gone out while those people were not paying attention. He was now worried that Gu Qingyuan would be discovered by those people outside.
Xixi was very sleepy, but she still forced herself to sit next to him.
"father."
Wen Shubai looked down at her and softened his voice, "Xixi, go back and rest first."
Xixi shook her head and said, "But I'm worried about my grandma and mom, so I don't want to go back."
Wen Shubai sighed. How could he not be worried? But now they had no choice but to wait.
He ordered Yu Shui to take Xixi and Xiao Nian outside back to the house. At first, Xixi struggled, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she got back to the bed.
After dawn, those who were guarding outside were still there.
The Gu family was even stopped from going out to purchase supplies, but fortunately there was enough food at home to last them for a while.
......
Gu Qingyuan secretly found the group of people who had followed her mother to fight.
General Gu sometimes trains troops in the capital now, and most of those people actually still obey the royal family.
Those who returned to their hometowns were the ones who truly shared weal and woe with General Gu.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan approaching them, a woman with a scar on her face asked, "Who are you to General Gu?"
Why does this person look so much like General Gu?
Gu Qingyuan introduced herself sincerely: "My name is Gu Qingyuan, and I am General Gu's daughter."
The scarred woman suddenly remembered.
"Oh it's you."
She often heard General Gu mention Gu Qingyuan.
The scarred woman is actually the leader of that group of people, and they all listen to the scarred woman.
"Aunt Lu, I came here today to ask for your help." Gu Qingyuan said respectfully.
The scarred woman known as "Aunt Lu" patted Gu Qingyuan's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Since you are Gu Ruotian's daughter, why do you need to be so polite to me, Old Lu? Tell me, what do you need our help with?"
Gu Qingyuan told the woman that her mother had been falsely accused of rebellion and was now imprisoned.
Lu Fei said in disbelief: "What, those people actually dared to do this to Lao Gu."
She immediately organized people and wanted to return to Beijing with Gu Qingyuan.
"Don't worry, Qingyuan, we will definitely seek justice for your mother."
Gu Qingyuan hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "What I want is for that person to pay the price."
Lu Fei was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant.
"You mean... you want to chop off that man's head?"
Gu Qingyuan said embarrassedly: "If Aunt Lu feels embarrassed, I will think of other ways."
"What are you talking about, kid?"
Lu Fei and General Gu had been through life and death together during the war in the early years, and she had long regarded General Gu as her own sister.
Now that her daughter came to them for help, how could they let the child go back empty-handed?
"Like you said, since the royal family has long suspected you, why not show them what you're doing?"
Gu Qingyuan looked up in shock, and Lu Fei smiled at her.
"Let's go back."
Lu Fei had received favors from General Gu before, and after receiving the reward, he returned to his hometown with his people.
Now, they heard that General Gu was framed and imprisoned and tortured, and they could no longer sit still.
After dawn, Gu Qingyuan took Lu Fei and others to the capital.
In the capital city.
Most of the people did not believe that General Gu would do such a thing.
General Gu has led troops in battle for so many years, how could he have the idea of rebellion?
But when the so-called "evidence" was presented, some people remained silent.
"It turns out that people's hearts can change. I remember when I met General Gu before, she was so approachable and even helped me pick up things."
"Who knew General Gu would harbor such thoughts of rebellion? Sigh."
However, some people firmly believed that General Gu would never do such a thing.
"Think about it, it hasn't been long since the late emperor passed away, and something like this has happened in the General's Mansion. Doesn't it feel strange?"
