Vol 2 Chapter 977: Seeking death (three shifts)

"I put the old man Su and the little cousin Su on the same bed."
boom!
This is the truth.
So unbearable, so nasty.
Gu Jiu closed her eyes, she was afraid that she would kill someone impulsively when she looked at Gu Zhili's face.
After a while, when she suppressed her murderous intent, she asked again: "What then?"
Gu Zhili shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know. I am only responsible for administering the medicine. After putting them on a bed, I just left. I don't know what happened later. I just did what I ordered, and I didn't want to Do this!"
"Go on!" Gu Jiu said sharply.
The so-called innocent excuses are all nonsense.
Gu Zhili trembling, said cautiously: "After a few days, I learned that the little cousin from the Su family was missing, no one was born, no corpse was seen. I guess it should be dead, I really don't know who did it. I don't know. Before I could react, something went wrong in the Su family, and the wind and rain were precarious. You know the rest."
Gu Jiu's hand was on the table, and his fingers gently slid across the table, very gentle.
But her mood was like the sea, rough and angry.
"Master Su didn't ask you to settle the account?"
"No. At that time, he couldn't protect himself, and he was in utter discomfort, and I was the son of Hou Mansion and his son-in-law..."
The implication speaks for itself.
The Su family cannot protect themselves. For the Su family, Elder Su will swallow this breath nine times out of ten.
Thinking, if you can pass this level, it will not be too late to clean up Gu Zhili.
If you can't get through this hurdle, the Su family, as the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, has a place to settle down. The premise is that the two families cannot tear their faces apart.
Later, when the Su family passed away, I am afraid that Elder Su had also regretted it.
However, he can only continue to hide it.
What a scandal!
Still carrying a life.
The Su family was dismissed from office for generations of scholars and couldn't bear such a scandal.
How dare Elder Su spit out the truth easily.
Gu Yu and Gu Jiu are both children of the Gu family.
The birth mother passed away, how could Father Su slander the child's biological father in front of the child.
Sometimes, a decision can change a person's life.
I don't know when Mr. Su passed away, but Zeng looked down.
Gu Jiu asked, "Did my mother find out what you did?"
Gu Zhili slowly nodded, "I don't know how she found out. At that time, she was pregnant with you, so she confronted me, asked me the whereabouts of the Su's cousin, and asked me if I was murdering? How can I admit it, of course I deny it. But I can see that she must already know something, maybe she already knows the whole truth. Because of the quarrel, she had a fetal gas and had to stay in bed to raise a fetus before she was willing to stop. "
Gu Ling had already scratched the arm of the chair, but kept holding back without saying anything.
Gu Jiu suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Why didn't my mother confide a word to the people around me?"
Gu Zhili laughed at herself, "She wants a face, the Su family wants a face, and she has to plan for your brothers and sisters. How can you say anything like this."
"Since she doesn't speak up and doesn't tell the nasty things you did, why did you kill her?"
"Nothing, you can't listen to other people's nonsense." Gu Zhili exclaimed again and again, with a panic expression.
Gu Jiu was unmoved, she tapped the table lightly and watched Gu Zhili's reaction.
Gu Zhili was sweating profusely, restless, as if there were nails under his buttocks.
His eyes were erratic, and he did not dare to face Gu Jiu's gaze.
Maybe it's a guilty conscience, maybe it's too much pressure.
She asked: "Have you guessed afterwards, who threatened you behind?"
Gu Zhili shook his head repeatedly, "Since then, no one has contacted me."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "It makes no sense to throw away a like yours that is so easy to use once you use it. At that time, had Xie Mao been promoted to an official of the Donggong Palace and reused by Prince Renxuan?"
Gu Zhili looked dumbfounded, "Do you suspect that Xie Mao was the one who threatened me secretly? No, no, it's impossible. At that time, Xie Mao was just an unknown pawn, and he was promoted to be an official of the Eastern Palace only after an accident in the Su family. The time is not right at all."
After a pause, he said again: "Old man Su was driven out of the court hall, and the biggest loss was in the East Palace. Xie Mao was to be an official of the East Palace, how could he demolish the prince's platform. The prince is unlucky, but he can't get any benefits."
"He can take the opportunity to stand out and be valued by Prince Ren Xuan."
Things like this stepping on the shoulders of colleagues are everywhere in official circles.
The officials of the Eastern Palace are not monolithic, they have always been fighting with each other.
One more thing, Elder Su is not an official in the Eastern Palace, he is only regarded by Prince Ren Xuan as a very hard-bone civil official.
Gu Zhili shook his head like a rattle. He didn't believe he would be at the mercy of Xie Mao.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Of course he can push you. If it weren't for him, the daughter of a small family of the Xie family, wouldn't she have the opportunity to enter the concubine room of the Prince Hou Mansion."
Gu Zhili snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. In your eyes, is the old man just a stupid person and rubbish?"
Roughly the same.
Gu Jiu didn't continue to irritate Gu Zhili, but asked: "Did my mother threaten you, so when she was bedridden after giving birth, you started to think about murder."
"No! The old man did not kill, let alone his wife."
Gu Zhili denied it.
He explained everything, but he refused to admit it to the death of his wife.
Gu Jiu didn't panic, "Do you know what Xie's secretly did when you leaked in front of your Xie's back then?"
"What did she do? Did she slander the old man again?"
Gu Jiu took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and put it on the table.
The folded handkerchiefs unfolded layer by layer, and finally a section of medicinal materials revealed their true colors.
"Xie's is very scheming. She secretly picked one from her mother's medicinal material and kept it carefully. This medicinal material has been checked by our palace, and there is a little arsenic on it."
"She framed the old man!" Gu Zhili yelled, and fell on the table, trying to destroy the medicinal materials.
Gu Ling stood up abruptly, took Gu Zhili by the collar, and put him back in place.
"Father, don't act rashly." He reminded.
Gu Zhili panted, sweat soaking through his clothes.
He was flustered and irritable, "The slander, it's all slander! The ghost knows where the medicinal material comes from, it is very likely that she deliberately framed the old man."
Gu Jiu smiled rather than smile, "After his mother died, his father was so excited that he even drank to celebrate. What's the explanation?"
"No such thing!" Gu Zhili waved his arm. "I don't know where the nonsense you heard from is all fake and fake."
"But the little cousin from the Su family is real. The death of Gu Cong, the little servant, is also real."
Gu Zhili roared meaninglessly, like a beast.
He hit the table with a fist and the teacup jumped up.
Gu Jiu said lightly: "The insider back then hasn't died yet, and the truth will always be found out. Do you want to confess the truth in person or let the palace know the truth from elsewhere?"
"Do you hate the old man? Do you still recognize the old man as your father?" Gu Zhili asked Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu smiled indifferently, "Why didn't my father tell the truth before talking about family affection?"
"She is dead, and you have never seen her. What is the point of what you are doing now? Can a person who has been dead for decades be more important than a living person? Can he be more important than a family reputation?"
Snapped!
Gu Jiu patted the table, his movements seemed very light, only making a little noise.
No surprise, Gu Zhili's anger was suppressed.
Gu Zhili was like a rat with his neck tightened, unable to speak a word.
Gu Jiu said softly: "The palace only wants to know the truth. As for the family reputation, this palace will protect it."
Gu Zhili sat down dejectedly, like a mourning concubine.
"You are driving me to death!"
"Are you daring to do it or not?" Gu Jiu asked.
Gu Zhili's face was pale, he took a sip from his teacup, his teeth were fighting, and he almost bit his tongue.
"She is very stubborn, and she can't get the nine cows back when she decides. If it wasn't for the pregnancy and the need to have a baby, she would have turned my face with me."
Gu Zhili whispered about the events of the year.
Gu Jiu reminded him: "Go on!"
Gu Zhili smiled bitterly, "She is very smart, the Su family's cousin is missing, and the Su family has an accident. She guessed the truth through clues. She threatened to destroy me and the Gu family."
"Is she angry?"
"Probably so. Anyway, I think she is very unpleasant, like a crazy woman."
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, "What made you make up your mind to kill her."
Gu Zhili turned his head and looked at Gu Jiu's gaze for the first time, "She gave birth to you, and she wants to be quiet. I went to see her once, she was very weak, but her eyes were very sharp and cold. You and her Especially like. At that time, the Su family had been driven out of the capital, and the Su family was completely depressed. She asked me, asked me..."
"Ask you what?"
"She is a lunatic, she actually asked me if I wanted to kill her next? She also said that she was very weak, and only a little bit of arsenic could kill her."
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Ling reprimanded, "Mother would never say such a thing, you are clearly justifying yourself."
Gu Jiu frowned and waved for Gu Yu to be quiet.
She stared at Gu Zhili, "You mean, your mother tempted you to kill her?"
"I didn't lie!" Gu Zhili yelled, "Is it necessary for me to lie now? She is really a lunatic. She really told me that only a little bit of arsenic can kill her. If it weren't for her Reminder, how could I think of using arsenic. According to my idea, drive away the maid beside her, just neglect to take care of her, so her body will soon die."
"When you talk, is there someone present?"
Gu Zhili shook his head repeatedly, "No one was present."
"Have you ever thought about why she tempted you to kill her."
"She doesn't want to live anymore. And her body is ruined, even if it's carefully nursed, it will be a year or two. She is harming me, obviously she is calculating me, I am unintentional."
Gu Zhili covered her face and cried bitterly.
Gu Ling was excited, "Sister, you won't really believe what he said. He is slandering his mother. How could my mother be willing to abandon us and beg to die."
Gu Jiu raised his head and sighed, "She is asking for a living."
