Chapter 251: Unwilling

Early in the morning, several carriages left the palace from the side door.
No one dares to stop.
The carriage headed westward towards Zongzheng Temple, the westernmost part of the capital.
Zongzheng Temple, a dilapidated courtyard. The Shaofu was used as a prison for imperial family members.
Originally, it was not called Zongzheng Temple, but Wuliang Temple.
Later, the temple was returned to the Shaofu. The place was remote and dark, and it was a good place for detainees.
Therefore, the temple was changed and used as a prison for imperial family members.
Over the years, no one remembers Wuliang Temple, but when it comes to Zongzheng Temple, no one knows.
The further west you go, the more desolate it is.
Because of the existence of Zongzheng Temple, the surrounding residents gradually moved out. So that this piece becomes more remote and gloomy.
When we arrived at Zongzheng Temple, officials came out.
Deng Cunli stepped forward and dealt with officials.
Gu Jiu also got out of the carriage and let the officials watch.
The official verified his identity, pointed to the carriages behind him, and asked, "What's on it?"
Deng Cunli said hurriedly: "It's bedding, clothes, books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
The official said: "According to the law, the official has to inspect a corresponding object."
"Yes, it should."
After speaking, Deng Cunli put a purse into the hands of the officials.
The official squeezed the weight and smiled satisfied.
He took a few small officials, inspected the carriage at random, and said: "Okay, everything can be brought in. However, apart from the wife, only four people can be brought in."
Deng Cunli looked at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu nodded Xiaosi's washing pen, washing ink's name, "You two will go in with my wife."
Then Gu Jiu named Qingmei's name again.
Together with Deng Cunli, it happened to be enough for four people.
The four of them carried many luggages and followed Gu Jiu into Zongzheng Temple.
A door separates the prisoner from the free body.
A door, the sun is shining outside, and the inside is cold and terrible.
The official led the way and led the five of them through the long corridor to a small courtyard, "Mrs. Zhao, Gongzi Zhao is detained inside. Please go in by yourself."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you!"
Deng Cunli gave another purse.
There is a hundred taels in the purse.
The official took his purse and left with satisfaction.
Gu Jiu pushed the door to enter.
The dilapidated courtyard door made a harsh crunch. The old man resembling a dying old man is like this gloomy Zongzheng Temple.
The creaking sound hit my heart, like a blunt knife, cutting the flesh of my heart.
Accompanied by the harsh crunch, there are bursts of piano sounds.
The sound of the piano is melodious and peaceful.
Gu Jiu stopped to listen. The mood of the piano player is like the sound of the piano, peaceful like a stream, as if there is no desire or desire.
Gu Jiu laughed suddenly, "Let's go, let's go in and see the son."
This is a very small courtyard.
There are two main houses, two wing rooms, an old locust tree in the yard, and a well.
Under the eaves, the stove was burning, and there was a kettle on the stove.
Gu Jiu looked at the small courtyard. Has Liu Zhao ever lived in such a simple and small courtyard in his life?
At this time, the piano sound stopped abruptly.
The door of the main house opened and Lin Shuping walked out.
When he saw Gu Jiu, he was obviously stunned.
"Madam! Son, it's the lady here."
Lin Shuping exclaimed excitedly.
The sunlight passed through the door and shone on the man's face. The person was sitting in front of the case a few times, and his body seemed to be shining with golden light.
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes, seeming to want to see more clearly.
At this moment, Liu Zhao smiled.
He greeted with a smile, but also an invitation.
Gu Jiu slowly moved forward step by step.
In a short distance, there is always a moment to finish.
She came to Liu Zhao's side, sat on the ground, face to face with Liu Zhao.
"You came!"
"I'll see you, how are you doing."
Liu Zhao was wearing dark black clothes and looked pale, like a sickly boy.
Then Gu Jiu knew that under his sickly appearance, there was a strong body.
He just looks sick and weak, but his body is not weak at all.
Liu Zhao's smile was still on his face, his smile was pure and gentle, like a passionate son, looking at the woman he loves most.
However, Gu Jiu is always willing to play the role of devil.
"You can still laugh when you are behind bars? Are you afraid of being locked up for ten or eight years? Are you afraid that this lady will divorce you?"
Liu Zhao's smile couldn't hold back, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You still want to divorce my son? Who gave you the courage?"
Gu Jiu answered the question, "Your Majesty likes all emperor grandchildren the most, and he never bears harshness. Why have you been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple this time? Does your Majesty hate you?"
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu, "It doesn't matter if my son is locked up. You tell my son first, who gave you the courage to divorce my son?"
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "I don't need anyone to give me the courage. If you really let me stay a widow for ten or eight years, I will give you a break."
He stayed in the palace for ten and eight years and lived as a widow. Gu Jiu might be driven mad and killed a few people first. People do not know it.
Liu Zhao grasped Gu Jiu's hand very hard.
Gu Jiu was in pain, "You always hurt me."
Liu Zhao relaxed, but did not let go.
He said loudly and loudly: "You don't want to get rid of this son. You are the son of this son when you are born, and you are also the ghost of this son when you die."
Gu Jiu asked, "Then when will you leave here? Don't tell me it takes three to five years?"
Liu Zhao urged a narrow smile and joked: "Can't you bear loneliness?"
"I can't stand the days when no one will support me."
Liu Zhao laughed.
Outside the door, Lin Shuping listened to the laughter and laughed.
After so many days, the son finally smiled.
congratulations.
It can be seen that the lady still has a way.
Gu Jiu's frankness made Liu Zhao very happy.
He said: "Don't worry, this young man will support you for the rest of his life. I can go out within half a year at most."
Gu Jiu frowned, "It takes so long?"
"This is already fast, you can't criticize me too much."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, and asked, "Why did your Majesty lock you here? Could it be that you are guilty of the prince?"
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu with hot eyes.
Gu Jiu wiped his cheeks, "Why keep staring at me?"
"Because you look good."
"Don't worry about him, answer my question."
Gu Jiu was disgusted with Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao asked, "Do you know about the poisoning of the prince?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I heard about it. You were imprisoned here because the prince was poisoned? Is it possible that you are the spy of the East Palace?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "You just need to know that I am being held here to protect the palace."
Gu Jiu obviously did not accept his statement.
"Really poisoned by you?"
Gu Jiu didn't believe it.
Ten years ago, how old was Liu Zhao? How can you put a spy in the East Palace and poison the prince?
Liu Zhao was silent for a moment, "The imperial grandfather does not need to know who poisoned the prince, he just needs an excuse and a reason."
Gu Jiu was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized.
Sure enough, as she and Deng Cunli thought, the court didn't need the real murderer.
It doesn't matter who poisoned the East Palace.
The important thing is that such a thing happened. This incident made the emperor more suspicious and irritable.
Chen Fuma was sentenced to abandon the city, it is not because the emperor was poisoned by the prince.
The prince was poisoned and seemed innocent. But is this really the case?
With His Majesty's suspicious temperament, would he really doubt the Prince?
Everyone knows that at this time, the East Palace is in danger.
Donggong didn't want to catch it with his hands, he could completely lead and act in a drama about the prince poisoning and delay time.
This possibility is too great.
With the emperor's suspicious character, when Liu Zhao was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, he would look at the East Palace.
Once the East Palace is watched by the emperor, the East Palace will not be far from being finished.
If she was a princess, what would she do?
Catch it?
burn one's boats?
Or do you take the initiative to show weakness and ask for the prince abolished?
Gu Jiu looked solemn, "You are being held here, really has nothing to do with the prince?"
Liu Zhao answered the wrong question, "I settled the matter of making coins for Chen Fuma. On the second day of the junior high school, I took the initiative to confess to the emperor's grandfather. The emperor's grandfather detained me here for punishment, warning, and to deter others.
For me, this is a rare experience, and I need an environment where no one is disturbed to think. Moreover, because of my confession, the emperor's grandfather would not go deep into his father, so the palace was preserved. "
Gu Jiu guessed many possibilities, but he did not expect that Liu Zhao actually confessed and was willing to be imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple.
She rubbed her eyebrows, "Yesterday the prince returned to the palace, and I pressed on step by step, asking him why you didn’t come back. I saw the prince’s expression, and he seemed to be guilty. It can be seen that from the beginning, he planned to be better and want to lose you. come out."
Liu Zhao was silent.
Gu Jiu said sternly: "You may think that I am separating your father and son. But it is a matter of life and death, even if you are not happy, I still have to say."
"I don't blame you. I know exactly what the father thinks in his heart. He intends to throw me out at the critical moment if he can't withstand the pressure."
After speaking, Liu Zhao laughed at himself, "I'm a filial son, how can I watch my father throw me away. Without him, I took the initiative to stand up."
Gu Jiu snorted, "Really a filial son."
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "I took the initiative to take the responsibility and let my father breathe a sigh of relief. Next, I was detained here to clean up the debts of the household, and my father could only figure out how to deal with it."
At this moment, Gu Jiu finally knew Liu Zhao's true purpose.
He was willing to be imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple in order to avoid the big storm of clearing the debts of the household department.
Gu Jiu asked him: "Is it worth it? They say that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and this matter may not develop according to your expectations. If you fail in the end, you will not regret it?"
Liu Zhao's face was calm and he asked Gu Jiu a question, "Does this son have a choice?"
Whether he stood up on his own initiative or was thrown out by King Ning, the treatments varied greatly.
Gu Jiu sighed, "Sure enough, marrying the emperor grandson is destined to be unable to live peacefully."
Liu Zhao scowled, "Do you regret it? Regret is useless."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, and said concerned: "You are here, can you eat and sleep well? Have those officials ever show you a look?"
Liu Zhao shook his head slightly, "Don't worry about me. My son is here, except for not being free, everything else is fine."
Gu Jiu had already looked at Liu Zhao carefully, and it seemed to be okay.
It seems that the officials of Zongzheng Temple are also very winking, not dare to abuse the prince and grandson at will.
In the courtyard next door, suddenly there were shouts of cursing and thumping sounds of smashing things.
She looked at Liu Zhao with questions.
Liu Zhao didn't move his eyebrows, "Uncle Thirteen lives next door. He has a bad temper. He always has to toss about it in three days."
Gu Jiu said, "Listening to this movement, he is very angry."
Liu Zhao nodded, "He is indeed grieved. However, he is weak and it is normal to be bullied by other uncles."
The royal family members are also bullying and fearing hardship.
If you want to give an explanation to the emperor, then take a few weak princes out for business.
As for the prince’s poisoning case, does it matter to them? Does it matter?
In the court, none of this matters.
As long as the palace results, it does not look at the process.
Gu Jiu called, and the two young men brought in pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various books.
She said: "Knowing that your life here is difficult, so this time, I have brought you many books for you to spend time."
Liu Zhao picked up a book casually and said with a smile: "You bother."
"It should be."
Qingmei is cooking on the stove under the eaves.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Liu Zhao said to Gu Jiu: "Stay here at noon."
This is a request, not a request.
Gu Jiu looked at the furnishings in the house, which was very simple. There is no extra furniture and decorations.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Let the servants clean up the house."
Liu Zhao was in a happy mood.
Gu Jiu's arrival made his mood turn cloudy.
Ome’s cooking skills are good, using the stove to make two dishes and one soup.
The food is simple, but the atmosphere is warm.
Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao had the simplest meal since they married into the palace.
Halfway through the meal, Liu Zhao suddenly said, "From now on, you will come to visit me on the first day of every month."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "I plan to stop coming until you get out of prison."
Liu Zhao's heart was stuffed, his eyebrows twitched, and he said forcefully: "Come here on the first day of every month, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and more books."
Gu Jiu hurriedly smiled, "Are you lonely?"
Liu Zhao's eyes were hungry and thirsty, as if he was about to eat people, "My son is naturally lonely. Would you like to stay here with my son?"
Gu Jiu shook his head without covering up, "I don't want to."
Really a realistic and indifferent woman.
Liu Zhao said: "I am your husband."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Have you never heard of the saying that husband and wife are birds of the same forest and fly separately in disaster?"
Liu Zhao is considered to have clearly recognized the essence of Gu Jiu.
"You just can't bear to endure hardship."
Gu Jiu nodded again and again, "Exactly. I don't like to suffer hardship the most, so you just want to stop. Originally I wanted to bring the maids over, but the maids were all light and fearful, and they couldn't get out if they came in. I didn't want to come. In the end, I had to bring two young men over for you to send."
Liu Zhao said heartily, "Why did my son marry you? Other couples share joys and sorrows together. I can't wait to run far when I come to you."
Gu Jiu returned Liu Zhao's previous words to him intact, "Do you regret it? It's too late to regret."
Liu Zhao laughed, "My son never regrets it. Even if you refuse to stay, my son is still happy."
Gu Jiu's cheeks are hot, damn, this love story made her feel guilty. If you change to someone else, you have already taken the initiative to stay, often with you.
However, Gu Jiu's brain is not hot, she is very sober.
She said: "Of course you won't regret marrying me. Except for not being able to suffer with you, I will take care of everything else for you. You let the rich and rich give me the box, and I will keep it for you."
Liu Zhao said, "You don't need to keep the box for me. It should have been handed to you long ago. You can use the money in it. The deed of the house will also be handed over to you.",
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, "That box, you asked Qianfu to give it to me, isn't it because there is iron evidence that Chen Luma secretly made coins?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "Of course not. I asked Qianfu to hand over the box to you because the property in there was originally meant to be given to you and taken care of by me. As for the evidence inside, those are not important. You Whether you keep it or destroy it, you can handle it yourself."
Gu Jiu rubbed her eyebrows, daring to feel that she had misunderstood Liu Zhao's purpose from the beginning.
She thought that the box was left to her by Liu Zhao.
The result was a simple transfer of property.
Fortunately, she didn't act rashly, otherwise Liu Zhao would be harmed.
She glared at him, "Remember to make it clear next time. Don't let anyone misunderstand."
Liu Zhao burst into laughter again, "Could it be that you think this son wants you to be in danger? How could this son be that kind of person."
Gu Jiu snorted, picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into Liu Zhao's mouth.
He didn't believe in so much food, and he couldn't stop his mouth.
