Chapter 347 Banquet Disturbance
Cang Qiongyu: "..."
Gu Xijiu seemed to remember something again: "The case of Le Huahou is over?"
Rong Jialuo nodded: "It's over. Although the evidence is against them, there is no direct evidence to prove that they did kill Le Huahou, and the twelfth brother and Gu Tianqing have been clenching their teeth in prison. There was no confession, so the third division interrogated you again and again, only to be sure that they really wanted to harm you, and General Gu frequently cried to his father, begging his father for his past military achievements and your honor as a member of the holy family. Let your sister go...so the emperor thought twice and decided to let them go, but it's not acquittal, it's exile. Both of them will be demoted to civilians and sent to the frontier wasteland for three years. After three years, if there is no fault , can be allowed to return to the capital. But the twelfth younger brother can no longer be crowned king in this life, Gu Tianqing will always be a commoner, and he is not allowed to marry the children of officials and eunuchs as his wife. The emperor already has this intention, and it is estimated that it will be officially announced in a few days."
Gu Xijiu didn't speak any more, she just lowered her eyes and took a sip of water.
In fact, she also understood that Emperor Xuan didn't really punish those two people for the sake of Gu Xietian's face, but Emperor Xuan wanted to let them go. After all, Rong Yan was the prince and his own son... Said it was just following the trend and finding the next step by oneself.
This result was actually within Gu Xijiu's expectations, but now that she has personally confirmed it with her own ears, she still feels a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Cang, am I avenging the original owner? Did I not report it promptly?" Gu Xijiu secretly asked Cang Qiongyu.
Cang Qiongyu was also a little sullen: "It should be! But it's okay, the soul of your original body is a very kind little girl, even if she feels aggrieved, she will not blame you anymore, and will not be against you of."
Gu Xijiu took another sip of water, and said calmly: "The kinder she is, the more I want to avenge her. To be honest, the longer I take over this body, the more I feel for what happened to the original owner..."
It was vaguely as if the original owner of this body was once herself.
Could it be that the original owner, Gu Xijiu, was her previous life?
Not like! The character is too different! Probably not.
Gu Xijiu shook her head and put aside this unreliable idea.
...
It is March in Yangchun.
The spring breeze has already dyed the treetops green, and the flowing water in the imperial garden has thawed, ding ding dong dong rushing on the bluestone, and below the bluestone is a five-meter-high drop, allowing the water to form a waterfall here. Big, pouring down like countless thin lines, falling on a white stone below, it actually played a light sound like a guqin, and then flowed away into the distance...
Not far from the waterfall is a palace like a water pavilion.
This is one of the most famous places in the Royal Garden - Tingqin Liucui Palace.
The practice banquet set up by Emperor Xuan for Gu Xijiu is here.
This time the banquet was very grand, almost all civil and military officials and their families were present,
Red men and dolls, all of them are well-dressed, a dense group of people, plus there are court ladies shuttling among them from time to time, the scene is not usually lively.
Instead of the usual table per family, the party was a table of three.
There is a row of officials, and a row of wives. As for the princes and ladies who brought them, they are arranged separately, and there are also three people at a table, sitting together with familiar people.
According to the imperial concubine who arranged the banquet, it would be more lively if the young people sat together.
Because everyone basically arrived early, before the banquet started, everyone had already started to get acquainted with each other, and the girls were chatting and laughing.
