Chapter 149 Confused
"Gui Ren Mu, when my Zhou family married into this prime minister's mansion, you were the size of a cradle. I didn't even have Qing'er at that time. I treated you like your biological mother. I have been as good as you and Qing'er for so many years. Why did you attack my daughter like this? You are so cruel!"
Mrs. Zhou collapsed on the ground and said to Gu Muqi crying.
Gu Muqi pulled Prime Minister Gu away and knelt in front of Mrs. Zhou, "Mrs. Zhou, I really don't know about this matter, it really has nothing to do with me."
"But you obviously brought that maid! I recognize the maids in the mansion, so how could she wait..." Before Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Prime Minister Gu ordered someone to help Mrs. Zhou, who was mentally broken, back to the room.
He pulled Gu Muqi up who was kneeling on the ground, calmed down and sat on the chair and said, "Nannan, you are the concubine in the palace now. You can't kneel to anyone except the emperor and the queen mother, do you know?"
Tears slid down Gu Muqi's face and hit her trembling hands holding the skirt. She nodded. She was also shocked today. She didn't know why such a thing happened. She obviously did nothing, and she had already agreed with the emperor not to hurt the child in her sister's belly.
But the maid who had an accident today, she had seen it before, was indeed a person in her room.
"Nannan, tell the truth to your father, do you know in advance that your sister has lost her children?"
Prime Minister Gu grabbed Gu Muqi's hand and said beside her.
Gu Muqi nodded, then shook his head again.
"Father." She swallowed her tears and said to Prime Minister Gu with sobs, "My sister entered the palace when she was just pregnant and told me about this. At that time, I was really happy for her. Unexpectedly, I was called by the Queen Mother that day and asked me to get rid of the child in my sister's belly."
Prime Minister Gu seemed to know about this matter, without showing any surprise, just nodded.
Gu Muqi continued, "I am very tired when I enter the palace. Although the emperor takes me very well, being an emperor's concubine does not just need to serve the emperor well, as well as everyone Jiapin and the queen mother..."
She wiped the tears from her face, "I have been thinking for more than half a month. In the past half month, I have no thoughts about tea or food. I always feel that a heavy stone keeps hitting my heart. Just two days before I want to have a kiss, I finally told the emperor about this. I said I can't do this, and I can't do it either. My sister's womb is also my nephew, a child who is related to me, not to mention that I really can't do it."
Prime Minister Gu looked at Gu Muqi who was crying and telling him about these things. After all, Gu Muqi is also his daughter, and she spent more time with him than Gu Muqing. She knew that her daughter would not lie.
He patted Gu Muqi on the back and said to her, "I finally returned home to visit my relatives, but this happened, and I feel wronged you."
"I guess the palace knows almost everything now. If no one takes you back to the palace tomorrow, I will send you back to my father first. Now everyone in the mansion thinks it is you doing this. The prince is still in our mansion. You go back first to avoid suspicion, and tell them the rest of the matter for the father."
Gu Muqi nodded and said to Prime Minister Gu, "Dad, I really didn't do this."
...
After the matter was completed, Yu'er was arrested by soldiers under Zun Mo Jun and taken to prison, waiting for interrogation.
She had the energy of not crying until the Yellow River. In these few hours, no one threatened her to ask about this.
She kept thinking about what Concubine Zhao said to her that someone would come to save her, but she did not give in and just stared at those who tried to interrogate herself with her big round eyes.
As the night got deeper and deeper, she curled up on the floor of a weed-covered cell, looking at the moonlight outside the small, narrow iron window.
I thought to myself that the woman with the back prick must have died, and the warmth of her blood spraying onto her hands was vividly in my mind.
"Yu'er! Yu'er!"
A voice was remembered in the cell at a volume that only two of them could hear. She looked around and saw no one except the soldiers who were watching over her.
"I'm here!"
A man wearing a guard uniform and holding a spear in his hand stood by the edge of her cell at some point. Yu'er tried hard against the iron railing on the cage door, trying to see who was calling him.
Suddenly I felt something covered in my nose. I smelled a scent and fainted.
Seeing Yu'er slowly slumping to the ground next to the railing, the man in the guard uniform pulled out a thin hemp rope from his wide cuffs, wrapped it around Yu'er's neck, and pulled both hands hard through the iron railing.
"Crack."
With a dull sound, Yu'er's head drooped. The man hurriedly took the hemp rope back into his sleeve, buckled the hat he had on his head, strode to the door of the cell, and knocked on the person who was sleeping on the table.
"Wake up! Change shifts!"
The guard on the table stretched his waist and wiped the saliva beside his mouth, patted the man on the back, "Thank you for your hard work! Go and rest!"
He picked up the two ice buns left on the table, got up and walked to the cell where Yu'er was.
The man looked at the guard's back and climbed onto the roof with a few light skills and flew away.
"Wake up! Stop sleeping! Have dinner!" The guard kicked Yu'er who was leaning against the door of the cell. Seeing that she did not respond to her, she kicked her again.
This time, the force was used a little too much. Yu'er's body fell to the ground slantedly, her tongue spitting outside, her eyes closed, and she couldn't help but scare the guard to take a few steps back.
"Come on! Come on!"
The guard ran and shouted. The other guards scattered in the yard heard his shouting and hurriedly surrounded him from all directions, asking him what had happened and why he was shouting here.
The guard gasped, pointed his finger in Yu'er's direction and said, "The person is dead, the assassination woman in the cell is dead!"
"I won't go and see what's going on!"
When Feng Qi heard this, he hurried over, took the people into the cell, and opened the door that closed Yu'er.
He walked in quickly and dragged Yu'er's body to a bright place. He carefully checked it and finally found a thin crack on her tender neck, and the flesh on her neck had been strangled into her blood and was shocking.
