Chapter 644 Together, Together
No one knew why Gu Qing was able to determine the whereabouts of Daoist Taiping, and no one knew why he suddenly launched an attack, not even Ping Yongjia, who presided over the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
You must know that he is Daoist Taiping, not to mention there are two devils, Yinfeng and Xuanyin Patriarch.
Even if Gu Qing had the imperial city formation, the Zhuxian formation, and Chan Zi's secret help, it would still be an extremely risky thing, and the odds of winning were extremely low.
If Jing Jiu hadn't woken up suddenly and showed the powerful lethality of the Sword Immortal of the Heavenly Realm, Gu Qing would definitely have died in the old plum garden.
It was really not in line with his cautious style to act in this way.
Hearing Empress Dowager Hu's words, Gu Qing smiled a little bluntly, but didn't say anything.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, a small teardrop dripped down, and she said softly: "I said before, I don't want much, I just want to hold your hand when I die, and then you burn me together with what the late emperor gave me... If you die that day, when I die, who will hold my hand so that I won't be afraid? Who will burn me?"
Gu Qing held her hand, looked into her eyes and said, "Don't say such things in the future, it will make me jealous of Your Majesty, and I know it's wrong."
Empress Dowager Hu smiled through tears and said: "Your Majesty is so generous, even if you know that you are jealous of him, you will not be angry."
If Zhuo Rusui was present at this time, he would definitely roll his eyes when he heard this, thinking that this is all a mess of conversations.
The hall was very quiet, and the sky was full of stars flickering slightly, as if they were constantly winking at the infatuated people in the world.
Lu Qing held hands with Empress Dowager Hu and did not speak for a long time, and there was no need to speak at this time. After an unknown amount of time, Empress Dowager Hu felt the sweat in her palms and finally woke up from the peaceful atmosphere. She noticed the gloomy look between his brows and asked concerned: "What's wrong?"
"Master... didn't go back to Qingshan, he should still be in Chaoge City, but why didn't he enter the palace? I wonder if he hated me..." Lu Qing was a little sad.
Empress Dowager Hu was also very nervous when she heard the words, and murmured: "No, the Master Master must have something important to do, maybe he will come tomorrow."
Gu Qing looked at the cold palace in the distance, thinking what could be more important than the things in that palace?
...
...
Don't say tomorrow, Jing Jiu didn't come to the palace until after tomorrow, until the spring is getting deeper and the summer is approaching. One morning, under the guard of his subordinates, Gu Pan, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, finished his patrol of the imperial city, took the comb handed over by his subordinates, smoothed down the slightly fluttering gray hair, and waved his hand to open the door.
The gate of the imperial city opened slowly, and suddenly there was an exclamation.
Gu Pan frowned slightly, and shouted in a deep voice, "What happened?"
The morning light was slightly chaotic, and a person landed in front of the imperial city, with fluttering white clothes, like a fairy in a painting.
Gu Pan's expression was slightly trembling, and he quickly bowed down and said, "I've seen the real master."
Those subordinates and guards also guessed the identity of the person who came, and knelt down nervously and excitedly.
Jing Jiu ignored these people, walked towards the palace, and within a few breaths came to the middle of the square.
Some of the bluestone slabs were obviously newly repaired recently, presumably it should be the location of the deep pit that Gu Qing smashed out.
The traces that were bombarded by Kou Qingtong, Tan Zhenren, Lian Sanyue, Bai Ren and him a hundred years ago have long since disappeared.
Standing in the morning light, he thought about the blood and corpses on the square that day, and the weed-like swords stuck in the corpses and pool of blood, and fell silent for a while.
To the world, a hundred years have passed since the Battle of Chaoge City, but to him it was a year ago.
The scene of her leaving seems to be still in front of her eyes.
He looked at the side hall covered with wind and snow, took a quiet look, and then went to the main hall.
Jing Yao, Ping Yongjia and A Piao all came to the hall when they heard the movement, and bowed to him.
"Master!"
"Students have seen Mr."
"My child pays respects to my uncle."
Gu Qing was also supported into the hall, knelt down in front of Jing Jiu, bowed his head and said nothing.
Jing Jiu waved his hand to signal Jingyao and the others to avoid, looked at Gu Qing and said, "Speak."
Gu Qing was extremely ashamed, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, Master."
Jing Jiu asked, "Where are you sorry?"
"Tu'er was seduced by beauty... No, Tu'er has a restless heart, greedy for beauty, and seduced... the Empress Dowager, this is really an unforgivable crime."
After Gu Qing said these words, he calmed down instead, and reported to Jing Jiu carefully how he and Queen Mother Hu started, except for some details, he did not hide anything, and of course he did not forget to take the responsibility on himself.
Jing Jiu didn't respond, and said, "Is there any more?"
Lu Qing was startled, thinking that yes, besides this incident, he had done a lot of unclean things, so he recounted the major incidents that happened in the court in the past hundred years.
In these major events, he is the black hand hidden behind the scenes. He has done so many conspiracies and tricks, so it is really not upright.
Before he could finish talking about these things, Jing Jiu raised his hand, signaling for him not to say any more, and said, "You've already told me all this, so there's no need to repeat it."
Lu Qing was stunned before trying to understand what was going on, his face turned paler, and he felt a lot more embarrassment besides shame.
In the past hundred years, he has tried his best in the court, purged many ministers, and the incident with Queen Mother Hu has brought him great pressure. He couldn't tell anyone about these things... So every night after returning to Jing's house, he would tell his master carefully.
"You've been awake all this time?" he asked in surprise.
Jing Jiu said, "I didn't wake up, but I could hear it."
Lu Qing didn't quite understand what kind of state that was.
Then he thought sadly, Master knew that he had done these things, so he must not like his scheming, otherwise why did it take so long to enter the palace?
Jing Jiu knew what he was thinking, and said, "Many years ago, on the first day you arrived at Shenmo Peak, I told you that you have deep scheming, but I don't like or dislike it."
Gu Qing was stunned, thinking what does this mean?
Jing Jiu went on to say, "But it's a bit stupid for you to die when you encounter such a trivial matter. Can death solve the problem?"
"I notified Chanzi in advance, and also reported to Uncle Yuan. If Uncle Taiping is really wrong, he..."
Halfway through Lu Qing's speech, he suddenly realized something was wrong. What did Master just say?
Encountered such a trivial matter?
Uncle Taiping knew about his personal affair with the queen mother, and he used it as an excuse to force him to harm Qingshan. Is this still a trivial matter?
He asked with seven points of bewilderment, two points of bewilderment, and one point of expectation: "You...don't you think that this disciple did something wrong?"
"I said that as long as any choice can bear the consequences, there is no right or wrong." Jing Jiu said, "What's more, there is no right or wrong in the matter of love between men and women. I just find it troublesome. You can't learn from me. It's the way to do what you want."
This sounds brilliant, but it is actually very simple.
What he wants to express is that this is your own choice, you can die for it, I will think you are stupid, but I will not think you are wrong. And if you like it, you like it, even if I think you are wrong, so what? What if the whole world thinks you are wrong? You are not even afraid of death, do you still care about this? It's really stupid.
Among all the people in Shenmo Peak, Gu Qing is not the one who can understand Jing Jiu's meaning the fastest, nor is he the closest person to him, but the one who can grasp his meaning most accurately and comprehensively. So he understood the meaning hidden in Jing Jiu's words clearly, without missing anything, and couldn't help being silent for a long time. Although he felt happy in his heart, he felt great pressure.
"But if this matter is known to the world, it will inevitably lead to many troubles."
"The return dzi is here with me."
"Master...you didn't read it, did you?"
"Um?"
Gu Qingwen made it clear, quickly changed the subject, and said, "But this matter will eventually get out."
Jing Jiu said: "Someone guessed, it's because you are not capable enough, what are you doing with these things?"
Lu Qing felt a little embarrassed, but still had to say: "Even if I can hide it from everyone in the world, I can't keep it from Zhen Tao all the time. I'm sorry for her in the end."
"If you don't want trouble, then hide it. It's best if you can hide it until you die or ascend." Jing Jiu said blankly, "If you can't do it, just tell her directly and let her choose."
Letting Zhen Tao choose, of course, let her choose whether or not to have Gu Qing, or whether she can accept it.
Normally, that's impossible.
Then in the end it was Gu Qing's turn to make a choice.
Lu Qing was silent for a long time, and said, "Even if I choose this side, I can't be with her."
Jing Jiu said, "Where are you at this time?"
Gu Qing understood what he meant, his eyes gradually calmed down, and his expression gradually became firm.
He and Queen Mother Hu are in the palace at this time.
already together.
That is being together.
...
...
Blindfold your eyes and let the world guess. Is this Jing Jiu's solution?
Lu Qing wanted to miss one possibility, but Empress Dowager Hu would not forget it.
Knowing that the first moment Jing Jiu came to the palace, she drove all the eunuchs and maids out, knelt in the palace, and waited for the other party to come and kill her.
