Princess Jian’s family is also a great family. But Princess Jian is a dignified prince. Princess Jian’s step-sister became a partial concubine and did not humiliate the family. So Princess Jian’s family agreed.

Only Princess Jian disagreed.

The third sister was pregnant. Princess Jian asked someone to hide it from King Jian and sent someone to take the third sister to the mansion, but secretly took her away. Not many people know about this.

Then, the third sister died and gave birth to a daughter.

That daughter is Hanhui. Princess Jian asked someone to take it to kill her, just pretending that she was not aware of it.

King Jian didn't know about these things at that time. King Jian was still looking for his sister-in-law everywhere.

However, the rest of Princess Jane's family knew about this.

They couldn't have had a breakup with Princess Jian just because the third girl made a mistake, so they hid and said nothing.

Princess Jian's other sisters knew that she was cruel and stopped interacting with her from then on.

Princess Jian had this hidden feeling in her heart and held it in for more than ten years. Later, she became older and was moved by her daughter's misfortune and caused her mental illness.

She was always afraid that ghosts would come to take their lives if she killed someone. She could not tell anyone about these words, and she got sick day after day.

King Jian was not aware of it at first.

Later, Princess Jian's condition became worse and worse, and finally told King Jian about this past without realizing it.

King Jian missed his former lover and wanted to find the lost daughter.

He thought to himself, probably the child is dead, right?

Gu Jinzhi accidentally discovered Hanhui. She was just thinking wildly at that time. Will Hanhui have something to do with Prince Jian’s Mansion? After all, Hanhui’s eyebrows look very much like Princess Jian.

Then, she sent someone to find Hanhui's adoptive mother privately.

Hanhui's adoptive mother told Gu Jinzhi that Hanhui was a fellow villager who was a servant in a wealthy family and said she wanted to kill him. That fellow villager was very pitiful, so she handed Hanhui over to him.

Her adoptive mother.

Hanhui's adoptive parents were married for four years without children. The couple was kind, and the fellow villager gave him some money, so they accepted Hanhui. Hanhui arrived at home, and within half a year, Hanhui's adoptive mother became pregnant.

Hanhui's adoptive parents thought Hanhui was their lucky star. From then on, they really treated her like their biological daughter.

When they adopted Hanhui, there was a jade pendant in Hanhui's cradle.

No matter how difficult the life was, Hanhui's adoptive mother couldn't bear to sell the jade pendant for food, and would rather starve to death.

The kind old woman always hoped that one day in the future, Hanhui's family would come to her. In this way, Hanhui could live a good life. She knew that Hanhui's background was not simple.

Gu Jinzhi sent someone to ask for the jade pendant. The old woman knew that the Luyang Palace was Hanhui's master's house, so she gave it to her.

That jade pendant was the token of love for King Jian to his sister-in-law back then.

Gu Jinzhi kept it until the people from Prince Jian’s mansion found Luzhou and asked Zhu Zhongjun to steal their iron ore back then.

It was not until two months ago that Zhu Zhongjun's army arrived in Henan that he handed Hanhui and the jade pendant to King Jian.

King Jian wants this daughter, and he has always been ashamed of Hanhui and his daughter. No matter what conditions Zhu Zhongjun has offered, King Jian needs to take Hanhui back; Prince Jian did not object because he did not want Hanhui to be left out.

It has damaged his reputation for his lost mother and Prince Jian's Mansion.

Therefore, Prince Jian’s Mansion and Zhu Zhongjun formed an alliance.

****

After two months of alliance, they were about to fight to the capital.

But Jingli suddenly strengthened its resistance.

Not only that, many civil officials were sentenced to exile.

Zhu Zhongjun and his advisers thought at first that these civil officials were sentenced to exile only after they advocated giving up resistance.

Later, Yanshan said: "Dad, why do you want to exile them? Wouldn't it be better to lock them up directly? Now that you are exiled, aren't you afraid that we will gather talents?"

Zhu Zhongjun had this doubt in his heart.

But he didn't say it.

Because of this moment, he could not tolerate any incidents. He was afraid that something bad would affect everyone's morale.

Yanshan raised it in person, and everyone looked at Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun had no choice but to say, "That's the spies in the capital, check the details of these exiled ministers..."

Most of the exiled ministers were third-rank and fourth-rank civil officials.

After checking, they found out that they did not advocate giving up resistance at all.

Therefore, their exile made people even more confused.

"...I heard that Emperor Hongde fell ill, and now the Empress Dowager is in charge of the affairs behind the curtain and assisting the eldest prince." Within two days, another spy reported.

Zhu Zhongjun and his son were a little stunned at the same time.

They all knew that Gu Jinzhi was next to the Empress Dowager.

Could it be related to Gu Jinzhi?

People in the capital have been in panic recently.

Many people moved north and fled.

After the emperor fell ill, the empress dowager ruled the country from behind the curtain and assisted the eldest prince. She suddenly exiled more than a dozen civil officials, which made people confused.

Yuan Yuye was also confused.

The minister who ordered the exiled to be neither a military general nor a member of Yuan Yuye's faction, nor a minister of talent.

When these civil officials were exiled, the court was completely controlled by military generals.

Yuan Yuye gradually understood the empress dowager's meaning, and he wanted to rely on the military to support the court.

As a result, in March, the capital was still surrounded by rebels.

After persisting for half a month, the city was broken.

When the city was broken, Emperor Hongde died of illness.

Yuan Yuye was arrested.

After Zhu Zhongjun and his son entered the city, they immediately rushed to the palace and looked for Gu Jinzhi everywhere.

But there was no Gu Jinzhi.

Zhu Zhongjun's eyes were so anxious that his eyes turned red.

"...Dad, did you escape with the queen, the queen mother and others?" Yanshan said, "Don't be anxious."

After the city was broken, the Jinyiwei in the capital escorted the queen, the queen mother and others and fled from the capital. Zhu Zhongjun's people had already gone to chase after him, and they would sooner or later.

No matter what, Zhu Zhongjun needs to capture the princes and others.

He needs someone to abdicate to him.

The name of his uprising is to clear the king's side rather than to plot against rebellion.

Now that Yuan Yuye has been arrested and the emperor is dead, Zhu Zhongjun can't carry himself to the throne himself. He needs to assist a prince first, and then let the prince abdicate him.

In this way, he was justified.

"Yanshan, stay here to handle affairs, I will take people to chase the queen and the others." Zhu Zhongjun searched the palace and finally found Gu Jinzhi. He thought that Gu Jinzhi might have been taken hostage by the queen and the queen mother.

.

Yanshan was stunned.

"Dad. Now everything is in trouble, you can't leave!" Yanshan said, "My second brother and I go chase..."

Zhu Zhongjun shook his head.

"Your mother and I have a good relationship, I will definitely find her this time." Zhu Zhongjun said, "You go and find her. If you miss it, she will endure hardship again."

None of the father and son can convince each other.

Finally, the guard ran over and said, "I found the princess."

Gu Jinzhi hid in the cellar of the cold palace.

On the day the city was broken, she hid with Aoxue. They were very familiar with the cold palace.

There was a cellar next to the cold palace. It used to store vegetables and then abandoned it. Most people didn't know that Gu Jinzhi once lived in the cold palace. She touched the inside and outside the cold palace.

The day before the city broke, Gu Jinzhi had that premonition.

So, she called Aoxue and the two of them hid themselves first.

They hid in the cellar for three days.

Until Gu Jinzhi vaguely heard the sound of footsteps. The footsteps were heavy and fast, unlike the guards in the palace. Even if the guards in the palace were running quickly, their steps were very light. This is the rule.

This kind of footsteps should be from Luzhou.

Only then did Gu Jinzhi and Aoxue climb out of the cellar.

Aoxue is still worried.

As a result, when they came out, they found that it was indeed from Luzhou. People from Luzhou were looking for Gu Jinzhi everywhere.

"Where are people?" Zhu Zhongjun's voice trembled a little.

He took Yanshan and Yanying toward the direction of the cold palace. He was almost running, just trying to see his wife quickly. Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with tears.

On the way, they met Gu Jinzhi.

Seeing their father and son, Gu Jinzhi stopped first. Her face was pale, her clothes were dirty and in a mess. She didn't want to see them like this and make them sad.

But her husband and sons are not better than her.

They just entered the city and were all dirty.

Yanshan and Yanying both became tall and strong. The two sons who had passed by the war had firm eyes and tall bodies, and were already men who stood upright.

And Zhu Zhongjun had half of his black hair white.

Gu Jinzhi's eyes suddenly became wet.

She stood still and did not move. Zhu Zhongjun ran towards her quickly like a gust of wind, hugging her tightly.

She was almost so angry that she was hugged by him.

She could smell his body. There was a little bloody smell, but she still couldn't hide the familiarity.

Gu Jinzhi burst into tears. She put her back on Zhu Zhongjun's neck and choked with her voice: "Zhu Zhongjun..."

".........Wife!" Zhu Zhongjun's voice was hoarse and wet.

The couple hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

All the apricot flowers around were blooming, and at this moment they fell down, falling on their faces, shoulders, and bodies. The beautiful fragrance lingers on their noses, adding a bit of beauty to this reunion.

Four years!

"You are still alive!" Zhu Zhongjun said crying.

For four years, they all made a living by stepping on the tip of a knife. But in the end, they were all still alive.

God will fulfill his wishes, and he can still see her alive.

Gu Jinzhi's tears were about to fall.

The couple hugged each other and cried for a long time before Zhu Zhongjun let go of her.

Yanshan and Yanying stepped forward and knelt down to salute their mother.

In Gu Jinzhi's sight, the children's faces were blurred.

In the blur, she saw that their eyes were red and tears wet her cheeks.

Gu Jinzhi helped Yanshan up and Yanying up.

Yanshan keenly saw Gu Jinzhi's inconvenience in mobility and asked: "Mom, your legs..."

Zhu Zhongjun and Yan Ying's eyes fell on Gu Jinzhi's legs for a moment.

"......a little lame." Gu Jinzhi tried to underestimate it.

But she still felt the atmosphere suffocating.

"Where is Tongtong, where is Yan Shao?" What Gu Jinzhi is most concerned about is whether Tongtong and Yan Shao were rescued by Zhu Zhongjun. Seeing Yanshan and Yanying and Tongtong and Yan Shao were not seen, Gu Jinzhi felt a little cold.

.

"They are still in Shoucheng!" Yanshan hurriedly explained, "Mom, Yanshao and Tongtong are too young, so we can't take them with us in the march."

In the past four years, Yanshan has become particularly mature and sophisticated, just like Zhu Zhongjun's right-hand man.

In the end, Gu Jinyi's family first lived in Pingji Temple.

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun got married and lived here.

This is of great significance to them.

The army has just entered the city and a lot of things need to be dealt with.

Zhu Zhongjun found Gu Jinzhi. He put down his burden and went to deal with the big things first. Gu Jinyi stayed in Pingju Hall. After the matter was handled, the first thing he did was to return to Pingju Hall.

What he did the most was lying in Gu Jinzhi's arms.

He told Gu Jinzhi many times: "Along the way, I often dream about you. I will remember how I went to your university to see you. The weather was very warm, the grass was soft, and I was pillowing on your legs

Take a nap. You are reading a book, the sun shines on your side, and there is golden light on your face..."

Gu Jinzhi remembers this.

What he once said.

He said that when he was secretly in love with Gu Jinzhi, he secretly went to her university to see her. As a result, he saw Gu Jinzhi and his ex-boyfriend reading books on the school lawn.

The scene was impressive, and he had already impressed himself.

On the fourth day of the city breaking, Zhu Zhongjun found Emperor Hongde's fourth son.

The fourth prince is three years old this year, and he is the age when he can be promoted to the throne and cannot be an emperor. He is the person Zhu Zhongjun needs the most.

And the others, including Empress Dowager Tan and Empress Li, did not come back.

Everyone knows why they didn’t come back, but no one points out it. It’s just that these people come back, and it’s better not to come back, so the court is more stable.

King Jin, who followed Zhu Zhongjun all the way, found his mother, Concubine De, after breaking the city. King Jin had no other ideas. What he thought about now was just to see his mother again.

He also has a little sister, and he also wants to find her.

Then, he wanted to take his mother and sister to the King of Jin's own fiefdom and live some simple life. His mother entered the palace at the age of fourteen and never left the palace again.

This is also the first time Gu Jinzhi has seen Concubine De in the past four years.

Concubine De has grown a lot older.

She was supported by King Jin and went to Pingju Palace to see Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi stood up to greet her.

Seeing Gu Jinyi limping, Concubine De burst into tears.

Concubine De herself also turned pale. She was extremely weak. Four years, the time that was said to be long or short was the biggest hurdle in their lives, almost destroying their former faces.

Gu Jinzhi also cried.

After she sat down with Concubine De, King Jin waited in the outer hall, leaving only Gu Jinzhi and Concubine De to talk.

"......After the death of the old emperor, I thought, this is probably what I have in my life. Every time I practice calligraphy, embroidery, eat and sleep, I tease Que'er. Unexpectedly, I actually lived so thrillingly in the second half of my life.

There was no moment of peace of mind." Concubine De couldn't hold back her tears.

In the past four years, she has suffered a lot, similar to Gu Jinzhi.

She was restricted from freedom and was locked up in the palace. The snobbish eyes in the palace were not good to her and treated her with food and accommodation.

"Now, it's finally over..." Concubine De said, "The King of Jin told me that he would say goodbye to the prince and return to his fiefdom. I wanted to follow him. Back then, I should have followed him.

”

It was not that Concubine De didn't want to leave, but Emperor Hongde refused to let him go.

At that time, Emperor Hongde was very careful about King Jin and naturally wanted to keep his mother in the capital. If King Jin had any bad intentions in the future, his mother would be a hostage.

But Concubine De always wanted to leave.

"Sister Six, take care of yourself!" Gu Jin's words.

Things change, and now we have nothing to say except take care of ourselves.

"You too..." Concubine De paused and finally said, "Take care too! Congratulations first!"

Tears appeared at the corner of Gu Jinzhi's eyes.

The next day, King Jin and Concubine De left the capital.

Gu Jinzhi went to the door to see them off.

Half a year later, Zhu Zhongjun married a daughter of the Wang family to King Jin as the main concubine. The Princess of Jin was dignified and quiet, and had a good relationship with Concubine De, and had a good relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

A year later, the Princess of Jin gave birth to a daughter. Then, she had several more children. In addition to the main concubine, the Prince of Jin also had two concubines with a group of children and lingering under her knees.

Concubine De truly lived a peaceful life in her old age.

It was not until ten years later that Concubine De died.

During those ten years, every time the King of Jin came to Beijing, he would tell Gu Jinzhi about Concubine De. Concubine De even gave Gu Jinzhi some small gifts.

Gu Jinzhi would also ask King Jin to bring gifts to Concubine De.

However, Gu Jin never saw her again in his life.

****

In June of the eleventh year of Hongde, Zhu Zhongjun ascended the throne and became emperor.

Before, he assisted Emperor Hongde's four sons as emperors.

Five days later, the new emperor abdicated in Zhu Zhongjun and did not even take the year name. No one said anything about this kind of stealing bell.

The following year, the year name was changed to Jingzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was named queen.

Yanshan was made the crown prince, Yanying was named King Yong, and Yanshao was named King Chu.

King Yong and King Chu both granted gold books and gold treasures, with annual salaries of tens of stones. However, they no longer gave the guards. They could choose to stay in the capital or go to the fiefdom.

Tongtong was named Princess Jingle. According to the previous convention, the princess should be awarded a gold book with a annual salary of 2,000 stones. However, Zhu Zhongjun loved Tongtong. After named Princess Jingle, she had a annual salary of 9,000 stones, almost with her brothers.

Flush.

Gu Jinzhi's father, uncle, brothers and cousins ​​were all granted the title of Marquis.

Gu Jinzhi's mother Song Pan'er was also named the wife of Qin.

Zhu Zhongjun's reward to Gu Jinzhi's family was almost too much.

Many court officials suggested that he should not give such generous rewards to Gu’s family.

Zhu Zhongjun didn't listen.

Gu Jinzhi also advised him: "If Gu is arrogant in the future, it will be difficult for you to do it. I will be difficult for me, so why should I give it so much?"

"......I don't know how to compensate you for so much suffering." Zhu Zhongjun gently kissed her cheek and said, "As long as I can think of it, I can do it, I can do it.

I want to give it to you."

Gu Jinzhi felt soft in his heart.

She sighed helplessly.

Seeing his half-flowered hair, she gently brushed across his temples and hugged him. She whispered: "You are still by my side, and you are the best you have given me!"

Even so, Zhu Zhongjun still did his best to reward the Gu family.

Everyone in the Gu family went to the palace to thank him.

Of course, I was a little dissatisfied.

Gu Jinzhi's mother Song Paner was very dissatisfied with Zhu Zhongjun's reward of Gu Jinzhi's concubine's brother Gu Xiuzhi.

Song Pan'er also knew that if you complain, you would behave like a good person when you get a cheaper one, so she mentioned very obscurely: "Brother Xiu is too young. I am afraid that he will not know the importance of giving him this way, but he will let down His Majesty and

The love of the empress.”

Gu Jinzhi's tenth and eleventh brothers were also granted their own marquis and paid their salaries. Song Pan'er did not think that the younger brothers and eleventh brothers were young.

Since I wanted to give me a reward, I naturally didn’t give up the reason for my eighth brother Gu Xiuzhi.

Gu Jinzhi knew what his mother was thinking and said, "Mom, even my cousin has been granted the title of marquis, let alone brothers? Brother Xiu and Brother Xuan are all blood relatives and can help each other in the future. Don't worry

, If Brother Xiu was ungrateful and asked for the title of his biological mother Honglian, I would not agree."

Song Paner felt a little embarrassed that Xiao Jiujiu was told by her daughter.

She changed the subject and asked Gu Jinzhi's legs: "...... Are you more flexible now?" When talking about Gu Jinzhi's legs, Song Paner felt sour and couldn't help but cry, "You are so miserable."

My child... Mother holds you in her palm. She grows so big that she actually suffers these hardships."

Gu Jinzhi's leg is no longer good.

However, Zhu Zhongjun refused to give up and asked Lin Yi to treat Gu Jinzhi. These days, Gu Jinzhi has been acupuncture and taking medicine. She was helpless and sad.

"I'm a little more flexible..." Gu Jin's way.

This is the standard answer.

Only by answering this way can those who care about her feel better.

Actually, there is no improvement.

"That's good!" When Song Pan'er heard this, her face brightened and she breathed comfortably.

When talking about Gu Jinzhi's lameness, I naturally think of the hardship she endured before. Song Pan'er couldn't suppress her tears, "I pity you, how did you survive those four years..."

"You can see the moon bright when the clouds clear." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Mom, the most important thing is that I have survived it. We mother and daughter can still talk together! Don't be sad. The past is like the wind scatters, and they all pass by

Now.”

Song Pan'er wiped her tears, but she still felt a little sad.

After coming out of the palace, Song Pan'er went home directly.

Her sons were all named Marquis, and the emperor also gave them a house again.

The children all got married and moved out.

Only Gu Xuan's family followed Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen.

This time they returned to Beijing, Gu Xiuzhi begged Song Pan'er to bring Aunt Hong back. Song Pan'er disagreed at the time. At that time, he thought that Aunt Hong was Gu Xiuzhi's biological mother. He was not allowed to perform his filial piety, and would he give it to him in the future.

My sons left a bad impression, thinking that Song Paner, the mother, was too affectionate?

Considering her reputation, Song Paner agreed.

When she was young, she lived a very free life. When she was old, Song Paner was concerned about her identity everywhere.

When she returned home, Gu Xiuzhi also came to pay her respects.

Tomorrow is his eldest son for a year, and he invites Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen to come and preside over the presidency of the Zhou Li.

"... Please come over and have fun." Gu Xiu said.

"Okay..." Song Paner said lightly.

Gu Xiuzhi has been married for six years. He gave birth to three daughters and only gave birth to a son last year. It was a time to be happy, and Song Pan'er didn't want to disappoint him.

Gu Xiu's eldest son arrested Zhou, and Gu Jinzhi also sent someone to give gifts.

Song Pan'er has gone.

As the Empress's mother, the wife of Qin, naturally all her eyes were on Song Pan'er.

Everyone flatters Song Paner.

Aunt Hong didn't even have a chance to show up.

After the arrest of Zhou, the guests dispersed and Gu Xiuzhi had dinner with his own family. Aunt Hong said she was uncomfortable and did not come.

Gu Xiuzhi's daughter-in-law did not value the mother-in-law who was born into a concubine, but she only respected Aunt Hong on the surface. She still leaned towards Song Pan'er in her heart, saying that Song Pan'er was her mother-in-law.

I heard that Aunt Hong felt uncomfortable. Gu Xiuzhi's wife said, "I'm afraid I'm tired today, so let Aunt take a break."

Aunt Hong didn’t show up today, why would she be tired?

Gu Xiuzhi didn't say anything, but went to see Aunt Hong after dinner.

Aunt Hong's eyes were red.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiuzhi asked.

The tears that Aunt Hong wiped out suddenly surged up again: "I'm happy to see you so successful now."

Gu Xiuzhi still refused to call him Mother in private, and he always had an aunt, who called him Hong Lian.

But Hong Lian calls herself a mother.

"That is the grace of the Lord and the Queen." Gu Xiu's words.

"Oh..." Aunt Hong sighed and cried. "You are promising now, I don't know how happy Mom is! If it weren't for the Empress, how could you be like today? But even though you are promising, you should have a mother in your heart.

....”

"Auntie, why didn't I take you seriously?" Gu Xiuzhi said with a smile. He could guess what Auntie Hong was going to say next.

He didn't want Aunt Hong to really say it.

After all, Aunt Hong gave birth to him.

But before he could stop him, Aunt Hong had already said, "You are now a noble marquis. Your mother is so lowly, how can you behave? You should also beg the Queen..."

Aunt Hong also wants an imperial edict.

Madam, she didn't dare to think about it.

But with Gu Xiuzhi's current status, it is more than enough to ask her to be named a gentleman.

"Auntie!" Gu Xiuzhi suddenly stood up and looked at Aunt Hong seriously, "Don't mention this! If you feel uncomfortable living in Beijing, why not go back to Yanling Mansion?"

Aunt Hong was stunned, her face changed drastically, and she cried at the desk.

"You are so unfilial!" Aunt Hong cried.

"Auntie, how do you tell me to be filial? What kind of temper do you know best about my mother? Why does the Queen value me so much? It's just because my ninth brother and I are good.

The ninth brother and the queen regarded me as brothers, but I knew my mother was taboo, but instead made my mother angry. If I really asked for an imperial edict for my aunt, where would I place my mother? Where would I place my ninth brother and the queen?

Do you have to be kind or raise your kindness? Do you want my aunt to be unkind and unfilial? Instead, I blame me for being unfilial?" Gu Xiu paused and said fiercely.

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Leaving Aunt Hong alone, she was stunned and forgot to cry...

***

After Zhu Zhongjun ascended the throne for half a month, he rewarded the generals and relatives who should be awarded a reward, and then he brought the court to the right track.

Most of the military generals in the Hongde Dynasty were sentenced to prison and sentenced to death or exile. Zhu Zhongjun, who started his business through rebellion, did not need military generals. Instead, he needed civil officials to govern the country.

Gu Jinzhi said to him: "...I remember you mentioned the ministers with outstanding abilities in the capital many times. Last time, when the Queen of the Great was in charge of the country, I remembered the capable ministers I remember.

All of them have urged Empress Dowager Tan to exile in Lingnan. Now, if you call them back and entrust them with important tasks, they will not resist you, but will be grateful and loyal!"

Zhu Zhongjun hugged her tightly.

At that time, she did not think about exiling the generals because she knew that it was only a matter of time before Zhu Zhongjun could invade.

What she needs to do is to retain talents who govern the country for Zhu Zhongjun.

Humanities are honest.

Money may not necessarily win over those civil servants.

But the previous dynasty exiled them, and they were full of grievances, so Zhu Zhongjun took them back again, which was a kindness. They could not repay them.

Zhu Zhongjun was very moved that Gu Jinzhi could think so far at the beginning.

Zhu Zhongjun did not take all the exiled ministers back at once.

He first accepted two gentle ministers, promoted them to the titles and granted their wives and children, so that the whole court knew that the new emperor valued his talents. And the other civil officials who were exiled had a little hope in their hearts.

Even if it is stubborn, it can slowly melt.

It took Zhu Zhongjun half a year to recall all these ministers.

Instead of scolding Zhu Zhongjun's rioters, they assisted Zhu Zhongjun wholeheartedly and praised Zhu Zhongjun for his merits. This is a later story.

One month after Zhu Zhongjun ascended the throne, he dealt with Yuan Yuye's affairs.

The court officials and the people all blamed the fall of the Hongde Dynasty on Yuan Yuye. Yuan Yuye's house was confiscated. All males over ten years old were beheaded, and female relatives were used as official prostitutes. Males under ten years old were exiled to Guangxi.

The day of Yuan Yuye's execution was set on the first day of July.

Just before the first day of July, Gu Jinzhi's fourth sister Gu Shanzhi suddenly returned to Beijing.

Her eldest son is already thirteen years old.

She and Yuan Yuye have been separated for fifteen years.

She is back now. Everyone thinks that she wants to plead for Yuan Yuye.

The eldest lady of the Gu family said to her: "...Don't be confused anymore! If you plead for him, wouldn't it be that the son-in-law's heart was cold? Besides, do you know that he had tried to die in your Gu family many times.

?Once, I hurt your elder brother, but I almost succeeded! The Empress was captured in Beijing four years ago and fell into a fetus on the road. She still has some leg inconvenience. It is Yuan Yuye who helped the evildoer.

If you plead with mercy, let alone the Queen is unhappy, our Gu family will not recognize you!"

Gu Shanzhi sighed faintly and said, "Auntie, you look down on me too much...I don't want to come back and plead for mercy. I just want to come back and see him for execution..."

The eldest lady was stunned.

Sure enough, on the first day of July, when the Yuan family was dragged to Caishikou and beheaded, Gu Shanzhi took his eldest son to see it.

She stood in a relatively forward place and could see Yuan Yuye's face clearly.

She grabbed the eldest son's hand, a little tight.

Yuan Yuye looked proud and looked disdainful, not caring about going to die.

The rest of the Yuan family were either sad, sad, angry, or afraid, but Yuan Yuye looked calm. He held his head proudly and looked at the world coldly.

He also glanced at the crowd with contempt.

Then, he saw Gu Shanzhi.

He stopped his contemptuous expression and his expression was stunned.

He thought he had read it wrong, so he closed his eyes slightly and stared at Gu Shanzhi again.

It was sure that it was Gu Shanzhi. Yuan Yuye's face was filled with various emotions in an instant: shock, resentment, grief, hatred. These expressions flashed one by one, and in the end, there was only a trace of sorrow left.

He smiled at Gu Shanzhi.

Gu Shanzhi's face was expressionless, but his legs became weak.

Her eldest son supported her.

In her life, she couldn't untie the knot of Yuan Yuye, and she always hated her. She used to love Yuan Yuye and the Yuan family to treat them well, but in the end, the Yuan family let her down.

Even if it is a separation, I will always be in unfair.

She thought that only when Yuan Yuye ended like this could her heart be untied, so she returned to Beijing.

But at this moment, her emotions were surging and she couldn't tell it.

Yuan Yuye smiled at Gu Shanzhi. Seeing that Gu Shanzhi's face turned pale, Yuan Yuye knew that she still had his in her heart.

My eyes suddenly became wet.

When the Yuan family was confiscated and the female family was appointed as official prostitutes, Yuan Yuye's mother and wife committed suicide. At that time, he did not cry. He felt that it was good. They left, kept their innocence and suffered less, which was good.

He is not sad.

He didn't regret it when he ended like this throughout the process.

Until he saw Gu Shanzhi in the crowd, his astringent intention could not be stopped. His eyes were filled with tears, and Gu Shanzhi's face became blurred. He blinked, as if he wanted to see her more clearly.

His staring straight at Gu Shanzhi felt intent.

Gu Shan took two steps back.

Finally, the execution time was almost here, and Yuan Yuye suddenly burst into tears.

He himself didn't understand why.

His lips opened and he said something, but no one understood.

Only Gu Shanzhi knew, he was saying: Shanzhi...

Why call her?

Gu Shanzhi was just watching the fun. She needed to know that he would not die well, and she needed to know that he had retribution so that she could let go of her unwillingness and move forward.

But at this moment, she was afraid that she would be unable to let go in her life.

Yuan Yuye, did he do it on purpose?

He knew her character, so he was sure of her?

The bloody head rolled down, and Gu Shanzhi could still see the tears at the corners of his eyes.

With a breath of breath in his chest, Gu Shanzhi fell down.

"Mom!" Her eldest son caught her and squeezed out of the crowd with her.

The crowd fainted only when they thought Gu Shanzhi was afraid.

Gu Shanzhi came back from the execution ground and was reluctant to eat.

The eldest lady was both angry that she was not good at her and worried about her. She traveled all the way from Jiangning to the capital to see Yuan Yuye beheaded, which meant that she had made up her mind.

Now that I look sad again, something naturally happened.

But Gu Jinzhi listened to his mother Song Pan'er, and Gu Shanzhi returned to Beijing.

She also wanted to meet her fourth sister, so she invited Gu Shanzhi to the palace.

Seeing Gu Shanyi's listless look, Gu Jinzhi asked her: "Where is the fourth sister uncomfortable?"

Gu Shanzhi felt a little timid in front of Gu Jinzhi, but he also told Gu Jinzhi what happened on the execution ground that day: "...I don't know why he cried.

Now, when I close my eyes, I can see him crying. When I was a husband and wife, he never cried for me..."

Speaking of this, Gu Shanzhi's voice choked up.

She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed her mood, and continued, "Empress, I have lost my composure."

"...I heard that when the Yuan family was raiding the house, Old Lady Yuan and his own wife committed suicide, and he never cried." Gu Jinzhi said slowly, "He was afraid that he was in his heart.

Sister is ashamed..."

As soon as he said this, Gu Shanzhi felt that his heart was filled with pain.

But after the violent pain, the haze that had been suppressed in her heart for many days gradually dissipated.

She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

A breath that was difficult to calm for more than ten years finally slowly came out.

It turns out that he had a love affair.

Gu Shanzhi only needs to know this, which is enough, and finally makes up for the efforts he has made to him in the past ten years...

She seemed to be willing to go back to Jiangning with peace of mind.
