Gu Shao leaned against the wall, looked at Princess Rongchang after hearing this, and said with a smile,
"If the princess handed over the letter of peace and separation, I, Gu Shao, would have signed it painfully. This confession..."
Princess Rongchang didn't care about his attitude and just continued, "If you refuse to plead guilty, what will happen to your daughter? She is not the wife of the Pei family now."
This is to use Gu Qingyuan to intimidate Gu Shao and force him to confess.
Gu Shao laughed, "If I don't plead guilty, Ayuan will not be a dependent of the guilty. If I confess, then she will become a dependent of the guilty and suffer the consequences together."
"What's more, doesn't the princess know better than I, Gu Shao, how the letter of collaboration with the enemy came from?"
Princess Rongchang, as the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, exposed her husband's collaboration with the enemy, causing an uproar in Kyoto for a while.
Some are despised, and some are praised.
Gu Shao's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he looked at Princess Rongchang seriously, "It was you who persuaded my parents and forced me to marry you."
"I told you on the day we got married that we were just in name only. So, why is the princess dissatisfied?"
Princess Rongchang was so choked that she couldn't speak. After a long while, she struggled to speak, her voice was hoarse and she was trembling slightly.
"Yes. Back then, I didn't know what was good and I thought that even a stone could be warmed. But who knew that you, Gu Shao, are not even as good as a stone."
"I just want to take revenge on you."
If you can't get it, then destroy it.
There was hatred in her words, "Gu Shao, you would rather have the Qin family who cuckolded you than this princess. You deserve such an end."
When Gu Shao heard this, he finally looked at Princess Rongchang with an angry look. He could suffer, but he would not let others slander the Qin family.
"Princess, be careful what you say."
He stood up quickly, the chains on his feet making a clattering sound.
Princess Rongchang stood there with her hands tied, as if she was about to poke Gu Shao's heart, "Back then, I clearly saw the uncle of the Ming family entering the resting place of the female family members. I also heard cries for help. But why should I save her?
"
She smiled slightly, "I didn't expect you to be able to endure this."
She shook her head and sighed.
After hearing this, Gu Shao's face cracked open. These words seemed to have no beginning or end, but every word had a meaning.
His heart was shocked, and he felt the blood in his chest surge, and hatred came out of his heart like the moisture after the rain.
Gritting his teeth tightly, he said hoarsely, "Princess, people are doing it, God is watching, be careful of retribution."
"From ancient times to the present, bad guys have only one ending."
He stared at Princess Rongchang tightly, like throwing a piece of iron.
"To be punished."
Standing in the darkness of the cell, Gu Qingyuan listened to Princess Rongchang's words and felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She had already left just now. After getting on the carriage, after much deliberation, she still felt that she should tell her father about Qin's affairs, so she asked the driver to turn the horse around and returned to the prison.
Before she could get closer, she heard Princess Rongchang's words.
She could have saved people back then, but she just watched her mother being humiliated and refused to save her.
Her heart was as silent as a dead pool.
She slowly withdrew, and not long after, Princess Rongchang also came out with an angry look on her face.
"Follow her." Gu Qingyuan's voice was hoarse.
When Princess Rongchang met Gu Shao, she just wanted him to plead guilty. Unexpectedly, the matter failed, and she was given a meal.
There was always a surge of anger in his chest, and he wanted to press Gu Shao's hand seal.
She angrily returned to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw someone also getting off the carriage.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Gu Qingyuan.
Her face turned pale, and she would go to the Ministry of War to expose Gu Shao's collaboration with the enemy. She did it deliberately while Gu Qingyuan was not in Beijing.
Gu Shao is now alone in Beijing. If Gu Qingyuan were not here, there would be no one to help him run with all their heart.
This way the conviction will be quicker.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyuan came back.
Princess Rongchang's heart was beating fast, "Ayuan, when did you come back?"
Gu Qingyuan observed Princess Rongchang calmly, and said with a half-smile, "I just arrived. Why, Princess Rongchang doesn't welcome me back?"
She had a smile on her face, but her tone was very sarcastic.
Princess Rongchang's face showed no color, but she said, "How could it be? If I knew you were back, I would have taken you to see your father just now."
If someone didn't know this attitude, they would have thought that Gu Shao was not sent to prison because of her revelation.
"Oh?" Gu Qingyuan's eyes flashed with ridicule, but she still pretended to be serious and asked, "What's wrong with father? Isn't he in the house?"
Princess Rongchang paused, Gu Qingyuan didn't know about Gu Shao going to prison?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt at ease. If I didn't know, maybe I could take advantage of it.
If Princess Rongchang originally exposed Gu Shao to make him bow to her and tame Gu Shao's fierce horse, then now, after being ridiculed by Gu Shao, she had only one idea.
Destroyed everything in the Zhenguo Palace, including the people.
Unexpectedly, before Princess Rongchang could say anything else, she saw a group of young men coming to the corner of the street.
The leader turned out to be King Qin.
He led a group of guards, wearing the clothes of the Ministry of War Yamen.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan, King Qin sneered, took out his token, and said, "The Holy One has ordered that Gu Shao collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and he can be punished. Therefore, the case is of great importance. Your Majesty ordered me to come here to search for evidence, and imprison the guilty family members to wait."
Awaiting trial.”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Qingyuan and Princess Rongchang to respond, they waved their hands to the government servant behind them and said coldly, "Let's get to work."
A group of government officials immediately responded and dispersed like a tide, marching straight in and entering Gu's house.
Gu Qingyuan couldn't believe it. Even though his father had just said that the emperor wanted to use him, it was impossible for the Ministry of War to convict him.
Now the King of Qin has issued an edict to raid his home.
She looked at the token, which was given by the emperor, and the edict.
It is covered with a jade seal.
That means it can't be faked.
What happened? Why so fast?
It also came so unexpectedly.
She bit the tip of her tongue and said hoarsely, "Wait a minute."
"Your Majesty, although my father's case has been tried, he has not been convicted. According to the laws of our court, if there is no conviction for a day, then the family members of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace are not criminals."
"In addition, Your Majesty said that the house was searched. What was searched? Was it my father's study or the entire Gu family?"
King Qin had not seen Gu Qingyuan for some days, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard her sharp words, which were completely different from her usual gentleness.
"The king is acting under His Majesty's orders. Do I need to explain to the girl?"
"Miss Gu is a smart person. Don't waste any more words and mess around. I don't know where these government officials will be searching."
This is clearly a threat.
Gu Qingyuan looked at King Qin silently, with fire burning in her eyes.
Your Majesty is talking about imprisoning criminal relatives.
So, the person Pei Jingheng gave her was not within this scope.
