Vol 2 Chapter 1094: Enter the palace to make a plea (three shifts)

Gu Gong hurried home.
He quickly glanced at Gu Zhili's body, then slapped his fist and hit Gu Teng's face hard.
"what!"
Hu yelled and rushed forward to defend Gu Teng.
"Why are you hitting someone? It's not his fault."
Gu Yu's heart was about to explode, and pointed at Gu Yu, cursing, "Are you stupid? At this time, you can take him out, and even take him to the Weishui River. Is your mind flooded?"
Gu Teng's face was pale, "I just saw him as pitiful, so I took him out. He kept tossing on the carriage, saying that he was going to take a look at the Weishui River, but Gu Quan kept kowtow again, and I agreed with a moment of soft heart. Unexpectedly, he would jump into the river. How could a man who cherishes his life so much has his own life."
Gu Teng hugged his head with his hands, his expression of pain and frustration on his face, as if he was drained of energy.
Gu Gong gritted his teeth with anger, "You are stupid! He proposed to go to the Weishui River, how could you not think he was deceiving. Don't you know that he hates us and the empress in his heart? He hates all of us, he lives. It doesn’t make sense anymore. Before we die, we have to pull everyone to bolster him, and let us carry the unfilial infamy that forced the death of the old father. Even the reputation of the queen empress will be implicated by him. Such a simple strategy, how can you not see through."
Hu's wholeheartedly defended Gu Teng, "Fifth, what you are talking about is a hindrance. Who would have thought that the old man had a heart for death? Who would have thought that Gu Quan would help the old man to find his death. What is the use of you cursing him now? It is to find a way to cover up this matter."
Cang Dang!
Gu Gong kicked over the chair.
Gu Hui was too scared to say a word.
Gu Gong pointed to Gu Zheng, "Today you didn't go anywhere, you just spent a day reading in the study. The old man was still very sick in bed and died of illness at night. Tomorrow's morning, a white lantern was hung on the door to report funeral.
"Can you hide it from this?" Hu asked.
Gu Gong sternly said: "It is not to hide from everyone, but from outsiders. The old man jumped into the river and committed suicide. This cannot be concealed from the uncle's family, the Houfu, or the palace. But we have to hide it. Relatives and friends outside can’t spread any rumors that will kill the old man. I personally go to the Hou Mansion and go to the uncle’s house to explain the truth. The mourning hall is prepared first. Put more ice in this room, the more the better."
Gu Teng said with a dumb voice: "I will go to the palace personally to plead."
Gu Gong snorted coldly, "You should go to the palace personally to make a petition. I will accompany you into the palace tomorrow morning."
Gu Zheng was surprised.
Hu was shocked.
For so many years, Gu Yun has never been to the palace.
There seemed to be a tacit understanding between him and the empress, and they didn't just ask each other.
Knowing that there is such a person, but completely ignoring each other.
Gu Teng's eyes were red, and he said thank you, "Thank you! You deserve to be a good brother."
Gu Gong looked mmp, "If you were a soldier under my hand, I would have killed you a long time ago. With your mind, I really don’t know why you haven’t been calculated for these years, and you can still be safe to this day. Maybe everyone Because you are the empress's brother, I will give you a face."
Gu Teng smiled bitterly, "I am not your soldier after all."
Gu Gong snorted coldly, turned and left.
...
Qian Fu came to Chang'an Palace to beg to see him.
After being notified, he was invited into the study.
"The old slave has just received a piece of news and dare not conceal it, so I have come to report it to my mother."
"what news?"
Gu Jiu put down the book in his hand and asked.
Qianfu look around.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, and all the servants in the study retreated out.
Qian Fu took a deep breath and bowed and said, "Enjoy the Queen's wife. Today, Master Gu took his father Gu out of the house and went to the Weishui River. Master Gu jumped into the river and committed suicide, which proved to be dead!"
silence!
The air is about to condense.
There is an ice basin in the study, which is obviously cool, but Qianfu feels like he is in the middle of a fire.
He was sweating all over, tight and stiff, and he could hardly breathe.
Boom!
A slight noise broke the silence in the room.
"Manny?"
Gu Jiu covered his face with one hand, "My palace is a little dizzy."
"The old slave will ask someone to get a doctor."
"No need to!"
Gu Zhili died and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
It was a bit unexpected and a bit shocked.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhili had the courage to commit suicide, and still in this decisive way.
However, her heart, at the moment she learned the news, was unexpectedly calm, and there were no waves in her heart.
She even had time to think about what kind of response she should make to meet the expectations of the world.
After all, it was her biological father who died.
She was a little distressed.
There is no grief and no joy.
This day seems to have been anticipated many years ago.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Then he asked: "What's the situation in Gu's family now?"
"It seems that the Gu family intends to conceal the truth, and find another reason to explain the death of Grandpa Gu."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I still have a little brain, not completely dizzy."
Qian Fu said again: "It seems that Gu Yu has made up his mind. Master Gu Yu has completely lost his position."
"I have led soldiers, fought wars, and met people who are used to life and death. It is really different. Let's just keep it quiet, and wait for Gu's family to report the funeral."
"Old slave obeys!"
...
Early the next morning, a white lantern was hung on the gate of Gu's house.
Gu's housekeepers, big and small, go out to report funerals.
Gu Yu was neatly dressed, ready to enter the palace with Gu Yu to plead guilty.
Hu was very worried and arranged his collar for him, "When you see the empress, you must be sincere and not shirk your responsibility. Empress does not like people who make excuses when something happens. You have to look at Gu Gong, don’t let him Talking nonsense. His temper is so aggressive. If he speaks improperly and offends the empress, how should he be. You, don’t be too nervous. The culprit is Gu Quan. I have ordered people to watch him closely and will never let him have a chance to commit suicide. ."
Gu Teng said, "I'm like this, okay?"
"The face is pale, and the eyes are full of red blood. I can tell that I haven't slept well all night. That's good."
Gu Teng grinned, his heart a little cold, "What do you think the old man thinks? He really hates us so?"
Hu paused, and said nonchalantly, "He naturally hates him. He is so proud of a man who is still the head of the country, and the empress deprived him of the opportunity. He can't go out and show off in front of others. Not being flattered and sought after by others. For a person like him, life without flattery and after-seeking is harder than death."
"You're right! He deserves to hate us. So he carefully planned what happened yesterday, jumping into the river in full view and killing himself, to drive us to a dead end."
Hu comforted him, "Don't think so! This matter may not be as serious as you think, as long as the news does not get out there is room for recovery."
Gu Teng is not as optimistic as Hu.
Gu Zhili planned all this, and must have thought that they would block the news, and would definitely have countermeasures.
Gu Zhili must have arranged someone, and when the time comes, rumors will be spread in the market.
All Gu Quan's family members are under control, which is necessary. Gu Zhili will definitely take this into consideration.
Thinking about it this way, the person he arranged to spread the rumors would not be Gu Quan's family.
Who is the one?
Gu Zheng immediately ordered: "The servants in the mansion, except those you can trust, no one can leave the mansion."
Hu froze for a moment, "The stewards went out to report the funeral this morning."
"Who is there?"
Hu said several names in one go.
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "They should be fine, it is hard to guarantee that others will not have problems. The old man has carefully planned all this, and it is impossible not to arrange for people to spread rumors."
Hu said with an "Ah", "Master, do you want Gu's family to die?"
Gu Teng snorted coldly, "Everyone else is dead, so no one cares about Gu's life or death. He hopes everyone will go down and bury him."
Hu rubbed his eyebrows.
The old man is as selfish as ever.
Always ask others to obey him, and he has never considered for anyone.
Treating his wife and children, saying that you turn your face will turn your face, without emotion at all.
There are many people in the world who are selfish, but people who can be as selfish as Gu Zhili are still rare.
Gu Yu entered the palace with Gu Gong, and Hu rectified his servants.
...
Outside the gate of Chang'an Palace, the two brothers waited for the announcement.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Fang was invited into the Chang'an Palace.
Xu Yousi said: "The empress is waiting for two adults in the study, please here."
"Thank you, Father Xu!"
"Sorry for Master Gu!"
Gu Ting wiped his face, suppressing the panic in his heart.
When he entered the study, he saw the empress empress without any hesitation. He knelt directly on the ground, "Weichen is here to plead, please punish the empress!"
Gu Gong did not kneel down, but performed a courtier's salute.
Gu Jiu made a look, and Xu Yousi came to a round stool, "Master Gu Gong, please sit down and speak."
Gu Gong was not polite, and Da Ma Jindao sat down.
Gu Yu still knelt on the ground, Gu Jiu ignored him.
Instead, she asked Gu Gong, "An accident happened yesterday. Did you decide to hide the truth?"
"Yes!"
Gu Jiu tapped the tabletop lightly, "What do you think about the death of the old man?"
Gu Gong once said, "The death of the old man is considered a relief. As for how he died, it doesn't matter. If you can hide it, it doesn't matter if you can't. Speak, spread rumors about our family, and I will hit anyone."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "You think you can hit the door and solve the problem?"
"It can't completely solve the problem, at least 70% to 80% can be solved. Most people in the world are bullying and fearing hardships. It is better to do more than less. Knowing that I Gu Gong is not easy to provoke, many people naturally dare not openly arrange our Gu family's gossip."
"This idea of ​​yours is also reasonable and feasible. Do you think you can hide it?"
Gu Gong shook his head, "I can't help it! The old man died so simply, he must have hated all of us. With his temper, there must have been an arrangement long ago."
Gu Jiu smiled. She suddenly discovered that the once troublesome, unlearned Gu Yu had grown into a responsible, capable, capable, and strategic man.
She said to him: "You go back first."
Gu Gong glanced at Gu Teng who was kneeling on the ground, and decisively got up and left Chang'an Palace without saying a word.
