Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 135 Entering the Palace

Gu Qingyuan entertained them well. Before leaving, they reluctantly said, "Young Master Gu, you must remember to come back to see us in the future."

She nodded.

In the palace, when the empress learned that the king of southern Xinjiang had committed suicide in prison, she went to take a look.

"Why did he die? What happened?"

I had planned to parade him through the streets a month later and then chop him off, but I never expected that he would commit suicide in prison within a month.

The jailer hesitated, and the Queen's voice grew colder as she reprimanded him, "If there's anything you can't tell me, confess it now."

"Yes, that's right."

The jailer told the empress about Gu Qingyuan's visit to Chu Zhiyan that day, and added: "He was fine before Young Master Gu came. But unexpectedly, after Young Master Gu saw him, he committed suicide."

The Queen had learned that it was Chu Zhiyan who had taken Gu Qingyuan away, and had made people believe that she was dead...

Thinking of this, she looked at the dead man with a complicated look.

"Let's confirm whether he faked his death."

The jailer opened the cell, put his hand under his nose, and then reported to the Queen: "Your Majesty, he is really dead."

"Well, if that's the case, let's find a place to bury it."

After all, he was once the king of a country, but now he died in a prison in a foreign country.

How can people not sigh.

After much thought, she had Gu Qingyuan brought to the palace for questioning.

Eunuch Li came to the General's Mansion first. When General Gu saw him, he welcomed him in and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?"

"General Gu is truly foresighted. His Majesty asked me to come here because he actually wants our young master to come to the palace."

"Then did His Majesty say what the matter was?" General Gu was still a little worried even though he summoned Gu Qingchu into the palace alone.

Eunuch Li shook his head. "We are servants, how can we possibly guess what His Majesty is thinking?"

"Now that the young master has moved out, you can go find her on the other side."

After much deliberation, General Gu decided to send a pigeon message to Weiwei Lin, asking her to help take care of Gu Qingyuan.

Lin Weiwei had a very good relationship with her and even married his brother to her.

The two of them usually get together.

Weiwei Lin is responsible for the security inside and outside the palace, so he should know some news from the palace.

Soon a message came back saying that they would take care of Gu Qingyuan when she entered the palace.

In his spare time, Gu Qingyuan would practice martial arts with Chunfen. At this time, the two of them were competing in archery in the yard. They hung copper coins on the branches. Whoever could shoot the coins down would get the money.

When Chunfen saw the money, his eyes curved into crescents. He shot an arrow with full confidence, but the arrow missed the coin.

She could only watch Gu Qingyuan pocket all the copper coins.

"Master, leave a few for me."

Just then, a few people suddenly walked in from outside. It was Eunuch Li and his men.

"Young Master Gu."

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Qingyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Eunuch Li coming to the Queen's side.

"Eunuch Li? Why are you here?"

Her voice was filled with surprise.

"His Majesty sent me here, saying he wanted to invite Young Master Gu to the palace."

"Okay," Gu Qingyuan nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come over."

After practicing martial arts with Chunfen, Gu Qingyuan's clothes were soaked with sweat. She changed into new clothes and then followed Eunuch Li into the palace.

When she reached the palace gate, Gu Qingyuan saw a woman who was about the same age as her mother.

She was wearing palace clothes and greeted herself when she saw herself.

"Qingyuan."

This person called her so intimately that Gu Qingyuan tried hard to search in her mind who this person was.

Finally, she remembered and gave the visitor a friendly smile, "Hello, Aunt Lin."

This person was none other than Lin Weiwei, who was patrolling here and waiting for her at the door.

After a brief greeting, Gu Qingyuan said goodbye to the Queen because she was afraid that she would be waiting anxiously.

Lin Weiwei said: "Okay, then go over quickly."

Until he stepped into the palace, Gu Qingyuan was still wondering what the empress wanted to see him about.

She wouldn't continue to ask me about her master, would she?

I was just making it up. If I really asked her to find someone, where would she find him?

As he was thinking, he had already arrived in front of the palace. Gu Qingyuan looked up and saw the empress looking at him with a somewhat inquiring gaze.

"I have met His Majesty."

Gu Qingyuan bowed first.

"No gift."

It was clearly a very calm tone, but for some reason, she seemed to hear a hint of dissatisfaction.

Gu Qingyuan stood aside and asked, "I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

"Do you know that the King of Southern Xinjiang is dead?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingyuan asked in disbelief, "He's dead?"

The Queen looked at her expression, which didn't seem fake, and asked her again, "I heard that you saw him before he died."

"I thought you were holding a grudge against him for having taken you away and imprisoned you, so you attacked him in private and fabricated the illusion that he had committed suicide."

"Impossible." Gu Qingyuan denied it without thinking.

"When I left, he was still fine, and I never thought of doing anything to him."

She originally thought that since His Majesty had decided to behead him, he would die sooner or later. However, she never expected that, from what His Majesty said, he seemed to have committed suicide?

Yes, such a proud person would not be willing to put his life in the hands of others. Suicide is both understandable and unexpected.

"Now that he is dead, the southern border has also surrendered to our Daning Kingdom."

Southern Xinjiang's weapons manufacturing is among the best in the country. To gain control of Southern Xinjiang is to have the most advanced weapons manufacturing technology.

Gu Qingyuan was silent, feeling a little blocked in the heart. Did he die just like that?

She looked up and said, "Your Majesty, can I take a look at his body?"

"I have sent someone to bury him."

Leaving his body intact and not letting him be exposed in the wilderness is the greatest honor the Queen can give him.

"let it go."

She should have been relieved, but she felt a little sad.

She shook her head and forced a smile.

"I heard that when he was in Southern Xinjiang, the people hated him very much. Now that he is dead, it is also a good thing for the people."

Especially those who died because of his revenge, and those who were forced to make medicine while he was still alive, they are more innocent.

After adjusting his mood, Gu Qingyuan accompanied the empress for a walk in the palace.

……

"Why bother."

A man sealed a jade bottle with talisman paper.

"I spent so much effort refining medicine for you, and used the marrow-washing pool to nourish your decaying body. Are you really willing to die like this?"

The jade bottle shook slightly.

"Well, it's the path you chose."

The man's voice drifted on the wind.
