When they entered the prison, they had already become a mass of ruins, but the only thing missing was Lin Yumin's figure.
On the court, Gu Yanqing's evidence made yongsui emperor indignant. Yongsui emperor ordered that all corrupt officials and magistrates be removed.
After leaving the court, Gu Yanqing went to the harem to see the old empress dowager. The old empress dowager took Bai ruotong's hand and saw Gu Yanqing coming. Her eyes flashed with joy. She raised her hand and called Gu Yanqing to sit beside her: "Qing'er, ruotong is pregnant now, you should treat her well."
"Yes."
Gu Yanqing nodded.
"A fire broke out in the prison yesterday, and Wang Ruoxi died in the prison. Do you know about that?" The old empress dowager took a sip of tea and asked.
Bai ruotong gathered a smile. It must have been impossible for the Empress Dowager to hide the trouble. Gu Yanqing nodded quietly. With a heavy sigh, the old empress dowager looked at Gu Yanqing: "the matter has come to this point. Do you still refuse to say who Xiuer's real mother is?"
"The past is long gone, and my grandson doesn't want to mention it again. Please forgive my grandson."
Although Gu Yanqing told Bai ruotong the truth about what happened at the beginning, other people kept it to themselves except her.
Bai ruotong will not publicize this matter. At the beginning, Gu Yanqing suffered in order to conceal this matter. Bai ruotong is not unaware of it. Now how can she make Gu Yanqing suffer again. Even if she was here, she couldn't say.
"You two should think about it carefully," the old lady shook her head. She is old. If she is a few years younger, maybe she can handle or investigate these things, but now she has the heart and is powerless. Besides, Gu Yanqing has always been a sincere child in her eyes, and she doesn't need to worry about Gu Yixiu's business. "Qing'er, grandma wants to talk to you alone. Rutong, go out first."
"Yes." Bai ruotong nodded, got up and walked out of the main hall. The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing. She said solemnly, "Qing'er, tell Grandma the truth, did you arrange Lin Yumin beside your father?"
"No
There was no hesitation in Gu Yanqing's reply. The Empress Dowager raised her turbid eyes and stared at him without blinking, as if to see the truth in his eyes, "isn't it really you? Grandmother can see that Lin Yumin doesn't care about your father at all. If it wasn't for you, what would it be for?
Qing'er, grandma knows that your father has been sorry for you, but he is your father after all. No matter how much you hate him, you can't do such a thing. "
The former queen was asked to marry by Emperor yongsui at the beginning. If you really want to care about it, there is something wrong with her. The woman that emperor yongsui yearned for, she did not allow, but let a woman he did not love accompany him all the time.
She knew that emperor yongsui had always hated her, which made it impossible for emperor yongsui to forgive her now. In order to revenge on her, he deliberately dealt with the former queen, and deliberately let other women replace her as Queen within a month after her death.
Gu Yanqing, who was supposed to be his own son, was also humble.
The Empress Dowager knew that she was guilty, so she treated him very well all the time. She wanted to make up for the sin in her heart with such a move.
But she did it wrong.
Her remedy can't eliminate Gu Yanqing's hatred. He hates his father to the extreme, not to mention the man who wants to kill him.
