Chapter 188 I Want You to Be Buried with My Daughter
"Prince Rong's Mansion?"
Shen Muxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Shi had gotten off the carriage without him noticing.
He Hong wanted to say something.
Shen Muxi raised her hand to interrupt what he was about to say, "His Highness seems very tired. You should go back quietly and take good care of him."
"But now you..."
My hands are powerless to restrain a chicken.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Shen Muxi comforted with a smile.
Gu Shi now recognized him.
She had been entangled with him before, but she denied it.
But just to let him experience it, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to get what he wanted.
Now that they were about to break up, she naturally couldn't let him feel comfortable anymore.
Gu Shi originally just wanted to make Shen Muxi stop if he could.
He can't stop, he'll find the next opportunity.
I never dreamed that Shen Muxi would come, and alone.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a faint smile hung on his lips.
"Mumu..."
"Didn't Master Gu just receive a salary fine and stay in the mansion to reflect on his mistakes today? Why haven't you returned yet to reflect on your mistakes? Do you think the punishment wasn't severe enough?"
"No, I've been waiting here just to see you again."
Gu Shi wanted to open his heart to her, "Mu Mu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you like this, I..."
"Master Gu, don't you think it's ridiculous to say these things now?"
Shen Muxi was five steps away from him. In the night, her eyes were as cold as the cold moonlight.
"Gu Shi, do you know?"
"what?"
The moment he heard Shen Muxi calling out his name.
A hint of hope flashed across Gu Shi's eyes, "Mu Mu, what do you want to tell me?"
She scoffed sarcastically, "You look like a scurvy dog, wagging your tail and begging for mercy."
As soon as she said this, Gu Shi felt like he was struck by lightning.
Once upon a time, Shen Muxi also chased after him like this, wanting to tailor clothes for her.
"Gu Shi, if you run away again, I won't help you make new clothes."
Shen Muxi, with her bulging belly, strode to keep up with Gu Shi's steps.
At that time, Gu Shi was in a hurry to buy new bedding for Kang. When Shen Muxi caught up with him, he frowned impatiently and said with a half-joking tone, "Shen Muxi, do you know what you look like now? Like a mangy dog that can't be driven away."
Those words back then were like a boomerang that flew out.
A few years later, it flew straight back and hit him right between the eyebrows.
The woman in front of him only looked seven points similar to her before, and the look she gave him was no longer filled with the attachment she had before.
For a moment, he was a little dazed.
How did they get to this point?
Obviously, she loved him so much before.
After learning that his hand was injured, he risked his life and went up the mountain in heavy rain just to collect herbs to treat his injury.
Now, his right arm still hurts slightly.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, his eyes reddened, "Shen Muxi, I... my hand is still hurting..."
Shen Muxi sneered, "Your hand only hurts, how come even your brain isn't working properly?"
The moment she saw Gu Shi looking at her with a hurt expression, she mocked him mercilessly, "If your hand hurts, go find a doctor. What good will it do to find me?"
The scene seemed to return to the time when Shen Muxi gave birth to a child——
At that time, Kang saw Shen Muxi bought new cloth to make clothes for the child and scolded her.
I didn't expect that Shen Muxi, who has always been weak and easy to talk to, would dare to talk back openly.
In a fit of rage, Kang scolded her, "You lowly woman, so pretentious!", which made her so angry that she had a miscarriage on the spot.
Gu Shi was in a dilemma when he saw Shen Muxi arguing with his mother.
Shen Muxi held his hand and begged him, saying that her stomach hurt and she might be about to give birth.
What did he say then?
"Don't every woman have to go through abdominal pain after childbirth? Why is it so unbearable for you?"
"You have a stomachache, so why are you looking for a midwife or a doctor? I can't help you share the pain."
Now, all the words he said to Shen Muxi have become sharp blades that pierce his heart.
He was almost completely certain that this was Shen Muxi himself.
However, she still broods over everything that happened in the past.
Gu Shi's eyes were red on the spot, "I...I was too young before..."
Not anymore.
"It's already late, and Prince Rong is not sleeping, but is here to see my Crown Princess. What's the matter?"
Murong Jingyan's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Gu Shi's words before he could finish them.
Shen Muxi turned around and saw Murong Jingyan walking slowly towards him supported by He Hong. The pale moonlight reflected on his face, making it look so pale that it was almost transparent.
She hurried forward to support him, "Your Highness, why don't you go back and settle down?"
Murong Jingyan smiled slightly and raised his hand to insert a white jade hairpin for her.
"Your hairpin fell on the carriage. I brought it to you."
His tone was gentle, and his eyes were filled with undisguised affection.
As he spoke, two brocade bags, one white and one green, appeared in front of Gu Shi's eyes.
At first, Gu Shi only felt that the brocade bag looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
In a flash, he suddenly remembered that this was the lucky bag that Shen Muxi had wanted to give him before, but before she could give it to him, he rejected it with disgust.
But the thing he had rejected was now hanging safely around Murong Jingyan's waist.
For a moment, Gu Shi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Where did you buy the sachet, Your Highness?"
He tried hard to look normal.
However, the jealousy in his heart made his smiling gaze become extremely aggressive.
Murong Jingyan looked at it in surprise. "Does Prince Rong also like this style? What a pity! This was sewn by my Crown Princess herself after she came back from praying for me. It is filled with her love. I will not allow it to be contaminated by other dirty things."
He said it as if it were a joke.
But Gu Shi clearly felt that the "dirty thing" he was talking about was himself, and he couldn't help but get angry and said, "You..."
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Murong Jingyan smiled harmlessly.
She even winked at him innocently.
This person clearly did it on purpose.
Even though there was nearly ten feet between them, Gu Shi could still feel the hostility emanating from his bones.
With his fists clenched tightly, Gu Shi seemed to be trying hard to restrain something.
"No..."
Of course he wanted to tell Murong Jingyan everything about Shen Muxi's past.
But what if...
After he told Murong Jingyan, would Murong Jingyan refuse to let go or use it as a threat?
He couldn't risk it.
In just a few breaths, Gu Shi's thoughts were already in a whirlwind.
Murong Jingyan seemed unable to tell what he was thinking, and smiled and bowed to him goodbye.
"Since there's nothing else to do, I and my Crown Princess will go back first."
After saying that, he took Shen Muxi's hand and was about to leave.
When turning around, Shen Muxi glanced at Gu Shi with a smile, and there was a hint of regret in her eyes - what a pity, Murong Jingyan suddenly appeared, and she didn't even have the chance to question Gu Shi.
I don't know if it was her imagination.
She always felt that Murong Jingyan seemed to be deliberately targeting Gu Shi.
A counter-grip with neither light nor heavy force came from the hand.
Only then did Shen Muxi realize that they had returned to the carriage.
Coming back to his senses, he met a pair of smiling eyes, "Why, you can't bear to let me go?"
She scoffed, "How is that possible?"
If Murong Jingyan hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have solved Gu Shi's problem long ago.
But the culprit seemed unaware of what he had done wrong and was smiling like a child seeking credit.
Shen Muxi wanted to put his hand on his forehead, but he realized belatedly that the two of them were still holding hands.
She loosened her hands from Murong Jingyan as if she had been electrocuted.
The heat kept rising up, dyeing her cheeks and ears red.
"I...I didn't mean it."
Murong Jingyan glanced at his empty palms, a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Soon he returned to his easygoing self in front of Shen Muxi, "In front of me, you can be Shen Muxi again."
Shen Muxi half-jokingly touched Murong Jingyan's shoulder with hers, "There are differences between close and distant relatives. Your Highness doesn't mind that they are your people, but I will always be grateful for your kindness.
Even if you don't care, I still have to think about your reputation."
Murong Jingyan was too weak to look up at the sky.
I found that there was only the dark roof of the carriage in front of me.
It’s just like his long journey to pursue his wife.
Tired.
From this moment on, he didn't want to talk to this stupid fool.
A certain "fool" is annoying but doesn't realize it.
"These two things hanging around your waist seem a bit cumbersome, Your Highness, please take them off."
It's ok that he's not smart, but you also want to take away all his things?
no way.
Murong Jingyan moved to the side, avoiding Shen Muxi's "devil's claws" that wanted to untie the brocade bag on his waist. "No need, this thing is still useful if I wear it on my body."
Shen Muxi wanted to say something to persuade him, but when she remembered that there was something else in the brocade bag, she suddenly realized.
"How could I have forgotten something so important?"
She slapped her forehead in frustration, then vowed to Murong Jingyan, "Don't worry, Your Highness. When we return to the palace, I'll replace you with two less conspicuous ones."
Murong Jingyan closed his eyes and decided not to say anything more to her.
...
The moment Gu Shi saw the two brocade bags appear on Murong Jingyan's waist, he felt his heart shattered into pieces.
Good news: Shen Muxi didn’t wash.
Bad news: It seems she really doesn't love him anymore.
Seeing her leave with Murong Jingyan without hesitation, the look in his eyes was full of contempt and disgust.
The heart he had almost held in front of her was instantly shattered into pieces.
It was not until the two of them walked away that he woke up from his dream.
Standing there muttering to himself——
"That's something you wanted to give me. How could you just give it to someone else without saying anything?"
Gu Shi returned to Prince Rong's Mansion in a daze, his face looking very ugly.
The servant who greeted him also kept his mouth shut.
The palace's decree had already been delivered.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Gu Shi was in a very bad mood.
No normal person would mess with him.
But Su Liuxi seemed to not understand what people were saying.
She didn't know who told her that Gu Shi was back, but she pushed away the maid who came to apply medicine for her and rushed out.
She actually ran out and blocked Gu Shi's way.
"Gu Shi, you beast, coward, hypocrite, you killed the Su family and my daughter. I want you to be buried with my daughter."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hands like a madman and tightly grasped Gu Shi's neck.
His eyes were bloodshot and he had gone mad.
Gu Shi pulled her arm away with his backhand, "That's enough, what are you crazy about?"
Su Liuxi fell to the ground, half crying and half laughing, "Am I crazy?"
At this time, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were covered in dirt, and she exuded a pungent odor.
The smoke made Gu Shi’s eyes sore.
"Do you want to look in the mirror and see what you look like now?"
"I'm like this because of you." Su Liuxi fell to the ground and looked up at Gu Shi with red eyes. "No matter what I look like, I feel extremely sick when I see you like this."
"Gu Shi, you always think you are a child of destiny, but you don't know that if it weren't for my Su Mansion, you would still be just a poor wretch trying to make a living in Danyang."
"My Su Mansion is in decline, and you can't expect to have an easy life either. It was my Su Mansion that helped you in the beginning..."
"you shut up."
Seeing that Su Liuxi was about to tell Gu Shi about his past, Gu Shi no longer cared about the servants coming and going around him.
In full view of everyone, he bent down, reached out and grabbed Su Liuxi's neck, and dragged her back to the woodshed like a dead dog.
A trail of blood was left along the way.
In the woodshed.
Mosquitoes and flies swarmed in the corners.
The smell is dozens of times more pungent than the one on Su Liuxi.
Gu Shi had just stepped into the demolished house when he felt a strange smell enter his throat as if it had life. He tried hard to hold it back, but finally couldn't hold it back. He left Su Liuxi at the door and vomited all over the floor.
Su Liuxi was not paying attention for a moment and hit her head on the ground, causing stars to appear in her eyes.
By the time she reacted, Gu Shi had already called other servants in anger.
"What are you doing here? Don't you see all the mosquitoes and flies here?"
One of the servants stepped forward tremblingly, "Your Highness, that's... Miss Yueyue..."
Miss Yueyue?
Only then did Gu Shi realize that mosquitoes and flies were circling around a piece of rotten meat that was still oozing blood.
Just as he was about to go forward to check, he was stopped by a servant, "Your Highness, don't get close. That piece of rotten meat is poisonous."
Only then did Gu Shi notice that the servant who stopped him had varying degrees of decay on his hands and face...
My hands felt sticky and slightly tingling.
Gu Shi quickly lowered his head. The palm of his right hand had become bloody and mangled without him noticing.
It was as if something had deliberately devoured my flesh and blood.
As if remembering something, he looked at Su Liuxi's neck again.
Just as he expected.
The place on Su Liuxi's neck where he had pinched her was now bloody.
This situation...
He had seen it on Yu Yuexi's face before.
It is a highly corrosive poison.
He was shocked.
"Water, bring some water."
