214. Return to Beijing

There were people coming and going in front of the city gate, and it was noisy.

Lu Wenze stood in front of the city gate and saw familiar guards surrounding the carriage.

He knew who was sitting in that carriage.

Then, he saw a familiar figure getting off the carriage.

Her figure was as graceful as before, and her brows were filled with the familiar softness.

There is more peace and calm than before.

Like a shining priceless pearl.

Gu Qingyuan also saw Lu Wenze, but she didn't expect that this would be the case when the two met again.

Thinking of the assassination on the ship, she lowered her eyes and told Shuang Wu beside her, "Go and ask the front man how things went when he entered the city."

Seeing that Gu Qingyuan was ignoring him, Lu Wenze laughed sarcastically, couldn't hold back his footsteps, and came to her,

"Where's Pei Jingheng? If you go to Beijing alone, aren't you afraid that something will happen to you?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at the person in front of her.

They met when they were young, became an unmarried couple, and also went to school together.

At that time, she thought that even if they were not destined to be together, no matter how despicable his character was, he would never do anything illegal.

When she was young, she had indeed admired the military style of the Lu family.

But in the blink of an eye, Lu Wenze, a man with the character of a military commander, turned into a man who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Gu Qingyuan turned around, unwilling to look at him again.

Lu Wenze's expression froze.

It turns out that she doesn't even want to look at him?

Yes. She is living a very good life now. Every time I hear about it, I say that she is living a very relaxed and happy life.

The more I hear about this, the more I feel the unspeakable jealousy in my heart.

"A Yuan. If Yun Niang hadn't been there..."

He hesitated to speak.

Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Wenze mockingly, "Jingyi Hou, even if that happens, it won't change anything."

"As long as Jingheng is here, my destination is him."

Lu Wenze's eyes turned red, and he suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He gritted his teeth and said,

"The Duke of Zhen was imprisoned. Why didn't he, Pei Jingheng, come back to rescue him? Do you want a weak woman like you to run around in the capital?"

"This is the man you want to marry even if your reputation is ruined."

The corners of Gu Qingyuan's mouth curved slightly, she didn't understand that Lu Wenze had just sent people to assassinate them, and now he was standing here affectionately.

Where did he get his face? Does he think he is a locksmith on the street and can match his face however he wants?

She replied calmly, "Jingyi Hou, you don't deserve to know."

Shuang Wu went to the front and came back, "Girl, you can enter the city now."

Gu Qingyuan didn't look at Lu Wenze again, turned around and got on the carriage.

"Master Marquis..." Lu Wenze watched Gu Qingyuan's carriage disappear through the city gate without moving for a long time.

The concubine who followed him out had to call him out.

Lu Wenze came back to his senses and looked at his concubine's weak face, suddenly feeling bored.

Returning to Kyoto again, it is a cold time in the middle of the capital.

Gu Qingyuan sat in the carriage and listened to the various voices of the people outside, thinking that her father was still in prison and the Gu family had not yet cleared their name.

Nowadays, the Zhenguo Duke's mansion is probably still in the official residence.

She asked the driver to take her to a dowry house.

She kept thinking about who she could go to for help at this time.

You can't enter the palace.

He could only find his father's old friends outside the palace.

However, before that, she had to find a way to see her father.

I thought it would take a lot of trouble, but when I heard Gu Qingyuan said that she wanted to see Gu Shao, the guard He Song who was arranged by Pei Jinting to escort him immediately said,

"Young Madam, the young master has made arrangements and can go to see the Duke of Zhen at any time."

Gu Qingyuan prepared some clothes to keep out the cold, wore the clothes of an attendant, and entered the Ministry of War prison under the leadership of the prison chief.

The cell was gloomy and dark, and even in this weather, it exuded an unpleasant smell.

After passing through the chained prison doors, the cell leader took her to the cell at the end and stopped.

"To make a long story short," the cell leader whispered, opened the cell door and left.

Before Gu Qingyuan entered, Gu Shao heard footsteps and saw that it was his daughter.

When he suddenly saw Gu Qingyuan, Gu Shao could hardly believe his eyes and learned that she had received the news on her way back to Beijing.

"Father, what's going on? What's in the letter?"

Gu Qingyuan wiped away her tears and asked.

Gu Shao looked at the tears in his daughter's eyes, and finally let out a long sigh and said sadly, "That's just unnecessary."

He was going to the border and had already packed his bags, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly thrown into jail.

That letter was only half true and half false.

These days, he doesn't worry about his own safety, he only worries about Gu Qingyuan's situation day and night.

Thinking of the torment, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well all night long.

"It's just that I wasn't careful enough as a father and didn't keep the door open, allowing Princess Rongchang to take advantage of the loophole, which led to today's disaster."

"Ayuan, I made you worry."

Gu Qingyuan said calmly, "Father, the Ministry of War's delay in hearing your case is just delaying it. I came to see you because I want you to show me the way."

"Is there anyone else who can help us? What is written in the letter that Princess Rongchang handed over? What is true and what is false?"

She needs to know so that she can think of ways to help her father redress the case.

Seeing her determined look, Gu Shao originally didn't want her to be involved in the case.

Finally, he said helplessly, "This charge is groundless. The emperor still wants to use me now. It is impossible for the Ministry of War to really convict me."

"It's just that you have to be careful with Princess Rongchang."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, "I understand."

She asked Gu Shao some more questions and then left at the urging of the cell leader.

Gu Qingyuan put words on her lips several times, but failed to tell her about Qin's affairs.

After Gu Qingyuan left the Ministry of War prison, someone saw Gu Shao again.

Princess Rongchang stood in front of the cell door and looked at Gu Shao sitting on the damp, moldy straw.

He was obviously in despair, but he still sat upright.

Princess Rongchang remembers Gu Shao as a high-spirited young man.

One time, Gu Shao passed by the Linjiang Fairy Building. When she looked over from the second floor, she was captivated by just one glance.

At that time, he was a gentle and considerate husband who would rather confront his parents than let down his beloved woman.

Even if he has no children, he is a good husband who would rather adopt a child than take a concubine.

She knew everything about him clearly.

She thought that since she was born in a noble family and had a prominent family background, she would definitely get whatever she wanted.

After finally surviving the Qin family, she married the man she longed for.

However, the human heart is the most unpredictable.

Everything she does is wrong.

After all these years, she still hasn't been able to get a serious look from Gu Shao.

Under her gaze, Gu Shao finally opened his eyes and looked over.

Princess Rongchang's expression was calm and indifferent. She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it over. Her demeanor was noble and dignified.

"Gu Shao. I have thought about it for a long time. If you are willing to bow your head to me, I am willing to go to the lobby to collect the evidence."
