Chapter 238 Gu Huaizhi Is Taking Revenge on Jiuyu
The ministers who originally had a problem with Gu Huaizhi shut up when they heard about Yucheng. They all widened their eyes in astonishment, unable to guess whether Gu Huaizhi was helping Jiuyu or wanted Jiuyu to die more miserably.
Yucheng was equivalent to a dead city, with miasma and poisonous gas everywhere, and anyone who touched it would die.
If the people inside wanted to get out, they had to pass through the miasma forest, and no one dared to come out.
People outside didn't dare to go in either.
The ministers looked at each other, and finally remembered one thing, Qu Yuanxiao wanted to take Su Wan's life. Who was the man in front of him? Su Wan's husband, was he going to avenge Su Wan.
Qi Min frowned, not understanding what Gu Huaizhi was thinking. Did he want Jiuyu to die?
Jiuyu's heart moved, and he looked at Gu Huaizhi in astonishment.
Is he going to save him?
Yucheng is a hell city for others, but for people who are proficient in medicine, it can't hurt him at all.
Gu Huaizhi's efforts to save him were good intentions.
Because of what his parents did, the ministers wanted to put him to death. Even if the empress spared his life, he would end up in confinement and lose his freedom for the rest of his life. If he went to Yucheng, he would shut up the ministers and give him freedom.
Qi Min asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The ministers had no objections and even began to sympathize with Jiuyu. If he was infected with miasma and died of illness, it would be a light punishment. If he inhaled poisonous gas, his whole body would fester and die. He would not be able to escape death anyway.
Qi Min sentenced Qu Yuanxiao to treason. The nine clans of the Qu family had already been implicated. Jiuyu and Jiuge had been removed from the royal jade book and demoted to commoners when Wei Xinglu was arrested. Therefore, this time they were only sent to Yucheng.
Jiuyu kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.
The imperial guards took Jiuyu away.
Jiuyu looked at Gu Huaizhi, hoping that he could take care of Jiuge temporarily.
Gu Huaizhi nodded.
Jiuyu was filled with gratitude. He walked out of the hall, the cold wind blowing on his face, and he smiled as if relieved. From now on, he will be reborn in Nirvana and have a new life.
Gu Huaizhi stood outside the hall and saw the cold wind blowing away the haze on the boy. His thin figure stood straight, changing the previous dead silence and glowing with vitality.
He tilted his head to look at the dead branches, and saw some new green growing. The cold winter is about to pass, ushering in the spring when all things revive.
"Where is Jiuyu?" Su Wan came hurriedly, panting.
Gu Huaizhi's eyes fell on her. Su Wan was wearing a cloak, and her neck was inlaid with a circle of white fox fur, which made her skin look like snow. Her nose was red from the cold, and she was cute and lovely.
He touched her nose with his finger and said softly, "Jiuyu was exiled to Yucheng. There is a miasma forest there. You should give Jiuge a bottle of medicine when you have time. We will set off tomorrow. Let Jiuge wait at the city gate."
Su Wan sighed and felt that this result was not bad: "The miasma forest is not a problem for Jiuyu. Instead, he can open a small clinic and make a living."
Gu Huaizhi held her hand and went to the palace gate: "Jiuyu and Jiuge agreed that he would go to the Four Barbarians Hall before dark. You go to comfort Jiuge first and don't let her be disturbed by the rumors."
"Okay." Su Wan leaned on Gu Huaizhi's arm and thought about this palace coup. The ceremony of enthroning the crown princess was destroyed, but it was already completed: "I miss my mother and my brothers and sisters. Let's go back to Da Zhou as soon as possible."
Xiliang gave Su Wan a bad impression. She didn't like it here.
Gu Huaizhi remained silent. Su Wan's wish might not come true so soon.
