After leaving the palace, Qian Ertong returned to the courtyard that Emperor Qi had prepared for him, and called a little palace maid who was usually not very outstanding.
The name of this little palace maid is Chuntao.
She has always been a quiet person, and few people in this courtyard can call her by name.
"Chuntao, in two days I have to go to Prince Huai's mansion to do some work. You can come with me."
The little palace maid nodded and said, "Now that I know Master Qian, I will entrust the errands for the next two days to other sisters."
Qian Ertong nodded and left.
After he left, Chuntao took a pen and paper, silently wrote a letter, and handed it out through the side door of the palace.
This letter went through several rounds and was finally delivered to Xie Yang's yard.
Xie Yang took the letter and didn't dare to tell anyone, so he immediately went to find Xiao Shan.
"Grandpa, do you think this Qian's second pass was intentional? Why did he only choose a little palace maid to follow such a big thing? And this little palace maid happened to choose the spy I placed beside him?"
Xiao Shan thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. This little palace maid is not of much use in the first place. She is just to monitor Qian Ertong. If he doesn't know about it, it happens that this little palace maid can find out the news for us. Even if he knows, so what?
?Is it possible for me to go before His Majesty and accuse you of planting spies around him?"
Hearing this, Xie Yang felt relaxed and nodded, "I know grandpa, then let's wait and see the show in Prince Huai's Mansion in two days."
In the next two days, Xie Xun went to the general's mansion several times, but failed to persuade Qin Rushuang to come back.
Gu Meiren seemed to know her fate and stayed in Prince Huai's Mansion all day without leaving the house.
Early on the third day, Qian Ertong brought Poison Wine and Bai Ling to Prince Huai's Mansion.
Because it was done by the Tian Family, the gate of Prince Huai's Mansion had already been heavily guarded, and the people could not get close.
But despite this, a person who shouldn't have appeared at the door of Prince Huai's Mansion, Zhu Sha.
Qian Ertong frowned and looked at Zhu Sha who was standing between him and the gate of the mansion. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhu, I am here to see Miss Gu off on your Majesty's order. Please don't embarrass me, Master Zhu."
Zhu Sha looked haggard, but his tone was very firm, "As long as I am here today, you will never step into the door of Prince Huai's Mansion!"
Qian Ertong looked at him helplessly and said, "I'm just a cripple with no strength. I can't even stand up. But General Zhu can block me, but he can't block His Majesty's holy will."
As he spoke, he glanced at the concierge of Prince Huai's Mansion, and the concierge immediately returned to the mansion to report to Xie Xun.
After a while, the door of Prince Huai's Mansion opened wide, and Xie Xun walked in.
Xie Xun looked a little unhappy when he saw Zhu Sha standing upright at the door.
"Zhu Sha! Let Mr. Qian come in. Mr. Qian is here with an imperial edict. Don't mess around!"
When Zhu Sha heard this, he felt as if a firecracker had been lit, and anger immediately rose on his face.
He turned around, looked straight at Xie Xun, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you know that it was me who admired Gu Meiren first, and all the mistakes you made were my fault. Why didn't you when His Majesty wanted to kill her?
Stop her? She is just a weak woman, what did she do wrong?!"
"Her fault was that she caught your eye and made you fall in love with her. This is her fault!"
"You are General Da Qi, the foundation of the country! Not to mention that her status is not suitable for you. Even if she is just an ordinary woman, if you, a general, can do this for her without distinction between right and wrong, impulsive and regardless of the consequences, she will
Damn it!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Sha's eyes widened, and her whole body was shaking violently, as if she would rush forward to fight Xie Xun in the next second.
The surrounding soldiers looked wary, but Xie Xun had a stern look on his face and ordered the people next to him: "Arrest General Zhu!"
The soldiers on the side received the order and immediately stepped forward to surround Zhu Sha.
Zhu Sha had affection for Xie Xun and the general, but he was not so polite to these soldiers. The first two soldiers who came up were pushed away by him, and Xie Xun became even more angry when he saw this.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Tie him up! Don't let him do stupid things!"
A large number of soldiers flocked to Zhu Sha, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Zhu Sha was so good at martial arts that he could fight against more than a dozen soldiers without losing.
Xie Xun could only go into battle in person, but he subdued Zhu Sha with just a few moves, but Zhu Sha was still pleading.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please save her!"
"You know that I, the king, can't save her!"
Xie Xun looked at Qian Ertong fiercely: "What are you still doing? Go in and do your business! Let's make a quick decision!"
Seeing Qian Ertong leading people into the gate of Prince Huai's Mansion, Zhu Sha, who was controlled, struggled harder and almost broke free from Xie Xun's control several times.
"My lord, let me go! Let me stop him! Let me go!!"
The iron-clad man was so painful that his voice became hoarse.
"Zhu Sha, you should know that what I did was right. You have made many achievements and you should not give up your future because of a woman."
"My lord, do you have to let Qian Ertong take her life today?"
Xie Xun didn't say anything and seemed to have acquiesced.
Zhu Sha suddenly relaxed all his strength and allowed Xie Xun to control him with a look of defeat.
His voice was low and seemed to be choked.
"My lord...don't make me hate you..."
Xie Xun was silent for a while and then said, "You hate me now, but you will be grateful to me in the future. When you have more achievements in the future, you will meet a better woman, and you will have a grand family. Why do you have to do this?
A woman can ruin your future."
But Zhu Sha didn't say anything more. He looked straight at Qian Ertong's leaving figure, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes dimmed.
In the palace of Prince Huai.
Qian Ertong took Chuntao directly to the side courtyard.
In the side courtyard, Gu Meiren seemed to have known that her final fate had come. She dismissed all the servants and put on her favorite red robe.
She just stood upright in the yard.
The snow was falling heavily, and even the wintersweet on the branches was covered with color, and she was dressed in red, and against the backdrop of the white snow, she was even more charming and charming.
"Master Qian, you are finally here." Gu Meiren smiled lightly.
Qian Ertong was silent for a while, with a hint of intolerance in his eyes, and then said, "Your Majesty has brought good wine to Gu Meiren. Choose the same wine as Bai Ling and Gu Meiren..."
Gu Meiren looked carefree and pointed at the wine glass in Qian Ertong's left hand.
"I've heard people say that people who hang themselves have black and blue faces, their tongues are stretched out, and their death state is very ugly."
"I have loved beauty all my life and wanted to choose a decent way to die."
Qian Ertong didn't say anything, he just handed the cup of Hedinghong to Gu Meiren's hand.
Gu Meiren didn't hesitate at all, raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine flowed down the corners of her mouth, and she inadvertently wiped it with her fingers. The last look in her eyes was extremely charming.
The poison in the wine was very strong, and within a moment, Gu Meiren had fallen to the ground.
Her brows were full of pain. Qian Ertong couldn't help but tilted his head and told Chuntao: "Gu Meiren loves beauty. Turn around and don't look at her embarrassment."
Chuntao turned around when she heard the words, but still raised her ears to listen to what was going on behind her.
She heard Gu Meiren's low wailing, and the friction of her clothes as she struggled. After nearly half a stick of incense, the people behind her gradually became silent.
"Okay, turn around."
When she turned around again, Gu Meiren was already dead.
Blood flowed down the corner of her mouth, and for a moment I couldn't tell whether the blood was more red and dazzling, or whether her red robe was better.
Qian Ertong couldn't help but sigh, "Beauty always has a bad fate."
Chuntao couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Master Qian, Gu Meiren is dead, so what about his body..."
"Don't worry, someone will take care of it."
As Qian Ertong finished speaking, the secret guard of Prince Huai's Mansion who was hiding in the darkness came out.
But they didn't go to Gu Meiren's "corpse", but to Chuntao...
