Chapter 10 Hate to Regret
The cold night is silent, and the study room in the prime minister"s fu is brightly lit. Gu Qinghong stood in front of the window, and the handsome figure was like a fairy. There was a knock-on door of the study.
“Come in.” He looked back and said softly. Shen Rumei came in respectfully and blessed him
“His Excellency, everything has been done. Outside the back lane, Nie Wushuang has disappeared, she should have gone home. There"s a pool of blood on the ground…"
She paused and looked at him with fear “The child should have been miscarried.”
Gu Qinghong trembled a little, for a while before he nodded. “Well, I know.” His bright face like moon still has no expression on his face.
Shen Rumei crept forward quietly, her glaring eyes like waves: "His Excellency, tonight come to rest at Rumei"s room.”
“Retreat. I am tired.” Gu Qinghong turned his head, and his gentle eyes were colder than the moonlight outside the window: “You have to remember your ident.i.ty!”
Shen Rumei was stabbed by his insult gaze, his face was white as snow, and she quickly stepped back: “Yes, my lord.”
Her heart was reluctantly unwilling to left. Gu Qinghong just sat down on the chair, the rigid chair, behind his back had the hand-embroidered cushion, every needle and thread, were fine and tidy.
He still remembers that she said, "Xianggong, you are sitting such a long time, but don"t be stay up late and hurt your eyes."
The clothes on his body, the shoes and socks on his feet, he watched her sitting at the table sewing for him, this kind of close-fitting thing she had never let others did this. At this time, he should not have thought of it again but as soon as it was quiet for more than ten days, the look of despair and tears as she was dragged away always circulated in his thought.
Gu Qinghong sighed and rubbed between his eyebrows.
What should not be done has been done, and what should be done has also been done.
Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the decree will be promulgated. Nie Weicheng, an old man, is about to downfall. The three ministries (16) have been secretly investigated Nie Weicheng a month ago. It is very hateful that even he had imprisoned, still insisted on his innocence. He cannot be forced to confess to collaborating with the enemy by multiple tortures. But the evidence he provided was presented to the emperor. A month ago, he walked around without telling her that everything must be hit at once.
Nie Weicheng! Gu Qinghong"s eyes flitted through deep hatred, and I want you to take the taste of forfeiture of property, executed nine generations, be separated from wife and children.
The hatred in his eyes was so deep that it completely concealed all his reason.
However, everything was a planned step by step, but it was deeply suspected at this moment: Nie Wushuang was innocent!
Nie Wushuang… his wife…
He pa.s.sed a trace of pain in his heart: If she"s alive or dead, just let her go.
Many years later, when Gu Qinghong remembered his decision on that night, he deeply regretted it. He clearly can leave her, he and she can still love and grow old together, just tell her that everything is just her father"s sin.
Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed. He was blinded by hatred. He did not know that the moment that he looks outside at Tianchan Temple, not only did she fall in love with him at first sight, but also that he could never erase her shadow from his heart.
The next day, Nie Wushuang woke up, her body was dry and warm, and the pain in her stomach disappeared. She hooked her lips jeer at herself, maybe her own life was cheap, a bowl of safflower was poured, and she did not die.
(16) 三部 (sān bù) In the China ancient time, When they judged big case will be determined by three ministries from Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs (吏部), Ministry of Housing (戶部), Ministry of Rites (禮部), Ministry of War (兵部), Ministry of Punishments (刑部) and Ministry of Works (工部)
