Chapter 240 It turns out that this light is not her sister
At this moment when the atmosphere in the Golden Palace was tense, shrill screams were heard from the harem's prison department.
"Why don't you confess quickly? Miss Su is killing everyone in the front, and you dare to hold her back here!"
The eunuch from the Eastern Chu prison department who was carrying out the execution had a furious look on his face because his younger brother had died in the Battle of Gu'an.
And now he realized that those people in the Battle of Gu'an should not have died!
They did not die in the battle against Nanqing, but were poisoned by collaborators. This is simply unbelievable.
Twelve thousand people!
Those were the 120,000 most iron-willed elite soldiers of Dongchu. When they fought against Nanqing, the strongest of the six countries, they had actually made up their minds to die. But now, because of this group of rats, those who should have enjoyed the glory died silently and anonymously.
Does anyone know that among those 120,000 people there was Chen Erxiao from Dongjie Village, Hongdong County, Linchuan County.
And none of the 36 people who were conscripted from Dongjie Village came back alive. They were all these shameless people!
The screams here were carried to the next room. Mingzhu couldn't help but shudder. She didn't expect to hear her sister's name at this time.
Did my sister kill people everywhere in the previous dynasty?
"Brother Yuanzhou, isn't that the imperial court? Why can I kill so many people?" Mingzhu was sitting on a small stool in a mess at this moment, looking at Gu Yuanzhou who was sitting on the ground far away in disbelief.
Gu Yuanzhou was listening to the voices next door. When he heard Mingzhu's question, he looked at her with a complicated expression: "Miss Su is of course different."
Although Gu Yuanzhou had not met Su Jixue yet, he had heard a lot about Su Jixue.
Unlike the rumors outside, the discussions in Prince Zhan's Mansion were more real. The decisive action on that rainy night stopped the previously unrecognized Zong Kui inside the capital of Dongchu, and also saved Prince Zhan.
That kind of decisiveness is definitely not something an ordinary rich girl can do.
Such a person can definitely stand in the court on his own.
Gu Yuanzhou came here because of the anger in his heart and the unwillingness after Mingzhu no longer paid attention to him.
But the moment he stepped into the palace, the heroic spirit in his chest couldn't help but soar to the sky. This was the place where all the heroes gathered, and it was also the most critical moment for Dongchu, and Gu Yuanzhou was the first person to stir up this storm.
The moment he walked here, Gu Yuanzhou's thoughts had changed.
And looking at the pearl in front of him, he felt a little strange.
Gu Yuanzhou could sense the indescribable feeling towards Su Jixue in Mingzhu's words, seeming to be a little envious and a little jealous.
"Brother Yuanzhou, Mingzhu is a little scared." Su Mingzhu looked at Gu Yuanzhou helplessly. The distance between them was very far. There was a palace servant guarding the door from a distance, and the nanny who followed Su Mingzhu into the palace could no longer stay with her, so now there were only Su Mingzhu and Gu Yuanzhou.
When Su Mingzhu was in Guijia Village, she had never seen the outside world.
For Su Mingzhu, Gu Yuanzhou is the biggest straw she can grasp, and also her future destination.
But no one knew that such a thing would happen, which completely changed Gui Xiaocao's fate.
"It's okay, you're the victim." If it were before, Gu Yuanzhou would have come to comfort Su Mingzhu, but now, he just looked at Su Mingzhu with a complicated expression and said, "In the end, you won't be involved."
"But Mingzhu is a member of the Su family, Brother Yuanzhou, will anything happen to the Su family?" Su Mingzhu looked at Gu Yuanzhou expectantly, as if she was not worried about herself, but the Su family.
Gu Yuanzhou lowered his eyes, his expression darkening.
Although, I knew that Xiaocao was different from before, nothing can make people feel the subtle differences from before more than being in the same room like this.
Now, Gu Yuanzhou actually represents the interests of Prince Zhan's Mansion, while Su Mingzhu should be standing on the side of the Su family.
The tone in which Su Mingzhu mentioned Su Jixue just now, as well as the answer she wanted to know now, were no longer on Miss Su's side.
"Brother Yuanzhou?" Su Mingzhu was a little nervous. She always felt that something that should have belonged to her was slowly slipping away.
"The Su family has to wait for the emperor's decision. This all depends on the emperor's judgment." Gu Yuanzhou said lightly. He now understood that there was no going back between him and Gui Xiaocao.
Because, she is now Su Mingzhu.
Gu Yuanzhou also has his own path to follow. He has already stepped onto the turmoil and will never step down from this chaotic situation in the capital.
"Mingzhu is really scared..." Seeing Gu Yuanzhou's expression, Su Mingzhu felt as if her grievances were magnified. The person who once said that he would protect her no matter what, now seemed to have become distant all of a sudden.
But it has only been a few days since we last saw Prince Zhan’s Mansion.
It was obvious that Su Mingzhu had decided not to continue at the beginning, but now that she saw Gu Yuanzhou really accepting the reality, she felt an indescribable sense of loss.
"Prime Minister Su will definitely not let you stay here that long. Everything will be fine once all the procedures are completed," Gu Yuanzhou said calmly. Su Jian, Right Prime Minister of Dongchu. No one would have thought that this was the father of the bullied little girl from Guijia Village, who should have been the daughter of a distinguished prime minister.
By accident, she became the stubborn and timid Gui Xiaocao who even lowered her head when speaking.
However, the phoenix can't stay in the chicken coop after all.
Su Mingzhu is Su Mingzhu, not Gui Xiaocao, not someone that Gu Yuanzhou can protect whenever he wants.
And the person Gu Yuanzhou wanted to protect was not Su Mingzhu.
When he was in Prince Zhan's mansion, Gu Yuanzhou looked for Gui Xiaocao more than once. In the end, he even heard the maids' discussions, and he suddenly realized that her identity had changed.
"This poor scholar must be crazy. He actually wants to find our War King's newly recognized sister."
"It wasn't the War King who recognized him, it was Miss Su."
"Miss Su is the future Princess Zhan, what's the difference between that and the recognition of the Zhan King?"
"That's right. It is said that Miss Su took her back to recognize her relatives. She is the real daughter of the Su family. This silly scholar doesn't know it yet. People don't even look down on him now."
……
Those words were everywhere, making Gu Yuanzhou truly realize what he was. So facing Bai Shiwu who deliberately let him hear these, Gu Yuanzhou nodded and chose to strike the drum to report.
The moment the bell rang, Gu Yuanzhou knew that his life had changed.
In this clash between the true upper echelons of Dong Chu, he has already chosen a side.
"Miss Su, don't worry." Gu Yuanzhou said as he closed his eyes, listening attentively to the discussions outside and judging the current situation.
Su Mingzhu saw that he no longer wanted to speak and sat there in a daze. Only then did she realize that she, the second daughter of the Su family, was nothing in such a deep palace.
It was always her sister's light that shone on everyone, which made Mingzhu think that she also had light.
