The grievances suffered by the family, the tragic death of his father and brother, and the countless comrades who shared the joys and sorrows... His eyes are full of red blood, he clearly remembers that day, he led two thousand elites, waiting for the orders from the front to step into the battlefield to support, waiting. For three full days, only a messenger covered in blood was seen, sending news that the main force was in an ambush and the whole army was wiped out.
He was full of energy and blood, and was anxious, wishing to take the soldiers and horses to the front immediately to pick up his father and brother. But what followed was the Northern Rong cavalry over the mountains and plains.
In that battle, they were killed in darkness, and in the end he took a cavalry of less than a hundred people to break through the encirclement, and several cities in the north fell.
Soldiers and horses were urgently transferred from the rear to take over the defense. As a general of the defeated army, he could only leave the border non-stop, head south back to the capital, waiting for his defeat.
He was unwilling to die like this, bearing the grievances of his father and brother and the blood of his comrades in arms.
If he were to die, he would rather die on the border with his father and brother in a grand battle that day. Instead of exhausting the last ray of life in this stubborn place.
That woman... can only be hateful. She had a chance to start that day, but she fell short in the end.
The high fever made his mind confused, as if the door was open and someone came in. In the confusion, a hand fell on his forehead and then on his neck. It was cool and comfortable. He groaned reflexively.
Yuan Luo feels complicated.
The place where Gu Yi was placed was in a hut at the far northwest corner of the Zichen Palace. It was originally the residence of the sweeping servants, but it looked like it had long been abandoned.
Fortunately, the room is quite spacious, but the internal facilities are a bit rudimentary.
Seeing the young man lying on the bare wooden bed, there was not even a bedding in the cold weather, Yuan Luo felt a little sad.
She reached out and tried Gu Yi's forehead, which was terribly hot. Putting down his hand, thinking of the goodwill degree again, he touched his neck again.
Favorability -54.
Haha, it really dropped again. Yuan Luo was speechless and put her hand down.
But she didn't know how much she shocked Sixi and Tian Pan with a few simple actions.
Concubine, this is...
Yuan Luo was self-contained and rarely had contact with others, but he touched the little General Gu on the bed.
The two of them felt as if they had an insight into an incredible secret, and they bowed their heads in unison.
Yuan Luo didn't notice the little Jiujiu in the two of them, and turned around and said sharply: "Take good care of the injury, I don't want to see people killed in Zichen Palace. If he has a problem, you only ask!"
Out of a subtle mentality, Tian Pan said that this time he accurately understood the spirit of instructions from the superiors.
The next day, when Yuan Luo came to visit the sick number again, she found that the simple hut was greatly changed.
The whole room was cleaned spotlessly, the bed was covered with clean and refreshing bedding, and the corner of the room was burned with a copper stove. It was finally a suitable place for healing.
Even the teenager who was half dead on the bed yesterday still has energy today.
Tian Pan's medical skills and abilities are worthy of recognition. Yuan Luo nodded again and again.
At this time, she saw Gu Yi's face clearly for the first time. She was an extremely beautiful boy with fair skin and delicate features. When her eyelashes were drooped and she didn't speak, she was as cute as a doll. Yuan Luo vaguely remembered that Gu Liangyong was a poor fellow from the border regions, and he was of Western descent, and Gu Yi was also considered a mixed-race. No wonder he was so beautiful.
About she had been staring for too long, Gu Yi's whole body was tense, like a small animal in a territory invaded by wild beasts, he raised his head and stared back at her. His eyes are alert, with determination, or the killing intent is more appropriate.
Yuan Luo had no doubt that if it hadn't been for this kid to be dying of illness, she would definitely rush to bite her neck.
"How is the injury?" She turned to ask Tian Pan.
However, when he turned his head, he found that Tian Pan had actually retreated. Even Sixi, who originally followed her, automatically stayed outside the door.
what's the situation?
Yuan Luo was dazed, and a hoarse tone came from before him.
"You can't die after all."
Yuan Luo turned his head, this kid thought he was asking him about the sentence just now.
Well, who is not asking.
She shrugged: "I can't die, otherwise I wasted my thoughts." For fear that this kid would really die under the torture, after Yuan Luo returned to the bedroom yesterday, he ordered Si Xi to open the warehouse and take a few samples. The precious medicinal materials are here.
Gu Yi bit her lip and stared coldly at the woman in beautiful dress. This woman tried to frame their Gu family, cruel, and now she ordered someone to hang her for a lifetime without knowing how to torture her.
"You don't have to be suspicious. You can recover from your illness. The frontier wars. This palace has other considerations. Since it saved your life, it won't kill you. This time it can be considered as spared by the palace." Yuan Luo simply was in the middle of the room. Sit down on the stool.

She thinks it's better to speak up, and how to spare him by herself is a favor.
Favor?
There was a mocking smile on Gu Yi's face. A teenager of this age could not completely conceal his emotions.
Yuan Luo sighed: "Do you think that the Gu family was brutally slandered and the entire family was extinct, and it was all caused by this palace. But have you ever thought that, as a foreign minister, your father repeatedly instigated the emperor and abolished my position as a noble concubine? Isn't it just killing me?"
Yuan Luo said flatly, Gu Liangyong was a general from a poor family who had been drawn by Emperor Xianning before. He was loyal to the first emperor, and he was considered to be a imperial party that supported Si Konglin, the orthodox bloodline of the first emperor. To draw a clear line between the powerful family of the court and the king of East China Sea. From this perspective, he and Yuan Luo should be of the same school. So the original owner vigorously wooed him at first, wanting to rely on each other. Unexpectedly, he was beaten in the face and finally came to this point.
"Gong Wei calculated, courtesy exchanges, and now I have a good game, only to save my life. How can I still have my life if I abolished my position as a noble concubine?" Yuan Luo was telling the truth. She was in the palace. Enemies are everywhere. Once you lose your position, you will die without bones.
Gu Yi was stunned. No matter how sinister and insidious the Gong Wei conspired, it was a private matter, and there was always a fig leaf on it. The woman in front of her said these private things in a grand manner. And it seems to make sense...Bah! how is this possible. My family is very loyal to the court, and my father wrote a letter just because this treacherous concubine acted viciously and interfered with the government, and was absolutely selfless.
He bit his lip: "If you keep your duty, how can your father impeach you for no reason?"
"What is duty?" Yuan Luo sneered. With the origin of the original owner, if you don't form a party for personal gains and domineering in power, how can you keep your position among the concubines from the rich and powerful? I was trampled to death by those concubines.
Anyway, she didn't expect to resolve the youth's hatred with a few words anyway.
And one more thing. Yuan Luo stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yi's right wrist.
Before she had time to take a closer look, she was stunned by the sound of the +1 prompt sound.
How can you increase your favorability? Does this make sense to what she said? This boy is literally inhuman. Even if normal people are persuaded, as a victim, it is impossible to resolve their hatred.
Suspecting that he had auditory hallucinations, Yuan Luo couldn't help but poked his hand on the young man's forehead.
When she poked backwards, Gu Yi frowned and stared at her in confusion.
Determined to add a point, Yuan Luo retracted his hand.
What is this person doing? Gu Yi was full of uncomfortable feelings, and forced himself out of Yuan Luo's restraint.
After a brief contact, Yuan Luo had already seen the scratch on the back of his hand. She laughed: "How did your scar come from?"
Gu Yi's body trembled lightly, his lips pressed, and he did not answer.
"As far as the matter is concerned, you return to the capital to apologize. Don't beg the emperor for mercy. You even dared to sneak into the court at night and assassinate the noble concubine. The boldness is comparable to treason. How to judge this crime?"
Gu Yi's body trembled, and she actually recognized herself.
Yuan Luo recalled the situation when she was crossing the past few days. It was obvious that someone pushed herself into the water. The murderer hid his head and covered his face, and did not show any signs. But based on the favorability prompt at the time, she could naturally judge who it was. And she scratched the opponent with a hairpin at the critical moment, and now there is a scar on the back of Gu Yi's hand.
Afterwards, she briefly learned about Gu Yi's resume. Before following his father on the battlefield, he had served as a guard in the palace for several months. So the road in the palace is clear.
After returning to the capital from the border, this kid should have been burned with hatred. He sneaked into the palace that night and assassinated himself. The assassination was impossible with him alone.
As a second-ranking member, Gu's family also had a certain influence in the palace. In other words, the imperial concubine had already made countless enemies, and some unsuspecting people secretly helped one or two. She couldn't tell anything else, she could infer at least one accomplice. It was Shen Dongliu who invited her to the attic to enjoy the piano music that night.
It was because of Shen Dongliu's invitation that the original owner went to the appointment alone. Let Gu Yi take advantage of it.
Gu Yi was not stupid enough to directly kill the killer. In order to avoid leaving traces, he pushed himself into the water in order to create the illusion of a trip and drowning, otherwise ten Yuan Luo would also be choked to death with his martial arts.
Unexpectedly, if the time was delayed for too long, it would still fall short.
It happened that Yuan Luo crossed over, not knowing the situation, and did not say anything about it, otherwise a torture involving the entire court would be inevitable.
Gu Yi lowered his head, his thick eyelashes drooped, hiding everything. In fact, his heart is far from being as calm as on the surface. He is indeed surprised. There is silence in these heavenly palaces. It stands to reason that, based on the character of this woman, after being assassinated, there must be a storm to clear away dissidents.
"Ah... My palace is quietly thinking these days, walking on the line of life and death, and feels that the previous methods are too harsh. So spare your life and make a decision with the past."
Yuan Luo felt embarrassed to say these words.
"It's also because," Yuan Luo paused, and finally mustered the courage to tell the bad news.
"You don't know yet, in order to beg the emperor to deal with them leniently, both Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu hanged themselves three days ago."
According to the timeline of the original work, Gu Yi entered the palace to plead guilty. He knelt in front of the Palace of Qianqing for several days. There was a lot of discussion in the court about how to deal with the Gu family. A group of people said that Gu Liangyong's improper command led to a major defeat on the front line and the loss of the country. Can be pardoned, one group of people said that victory or defeat is commonplace in the military, and the Gu family is also considered a martyr, and should be left with a ray of life. During this period, it was reported that Gu Yi's second brother had returned after being captured by the Beiman, and then it was revealed that the Gu family had colluded with the Beiman tribes and had business dealings. At this moment, the Gu family couldn't stand up at all.
Mrs. Gu Liangyong's mother, Mrs. Gu, knew that this time he would be unavoidable. Gu Liangyong's wife had died of illness long ago. She did not continue. So Mrs. Tai gave two grandsons and daughters-in-law, she dismissed her servants, and committed suicide with her elder daughter-in-law. At the end of the day, he presented his death form, begging to forgive Gu Yi for his life. She is a second-ranking imperative, and her death form is eligible to be passed to the court.
The author has something to say: ask for another day off tomorrow and update the finale the day after tomorrow.
After the finale, there are still a few chapters that are sweet love lines and career lines.
