Chapter 581 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?
The assassin was finally subdued, but after a fight, the table was in a mess. This Mid-Autumn Festival dinner could not continue amid the panic among the people.
Emperor Longxing's face turned pale: "Find out for me what is going on!"
All officials were left behind, and the female family members left the palace one after another.
Before Sheng Huan left, her eyes finally moved away from Gu Hengqing.
Therefore, she did not notice that Gu Hengqing in the hall looked at her with his deep eyes when she turned around.
Complex, anxious, distressed, cowardly...
-
On the carriage.
There was silence.
Sheng Huan hasn't said a word since he came out of the palace.
At this moment, she was turning the blood-red bracelet on her wrist, pinching it bit by bit, until the bones of her fingers turned white. Her long raven-feather eyelashes drooped, and no one knew what she was thinking. The aura on her body became heavier and heavier.
Seeing her like this, Siyun and Shihua, her personal servants, felt anxious.
"lady……"
Siyun couldn't help but ask: "Are you... injured anywhere..."
The woman seemed not to hear and did not even look up.
"Madam..." Shihua and Siyun looked at each other, and Shihua couldn't help but shout out: "Madam, you are frightened. I will go back later and ask Doctor Chen to prescribe some tranquilizers."
Sheng Huan finally moved. She slowly raised her head. Her face, as beautiful as spring flowers and the morning moon, was pale as a mirror. Not only that, her bright eyes were now empty.
“…Who is that person?”
She stared at Siyun, and when she spoke, her voice was hoarse.
Siyun immediately understood the subtext of her question. Moreover, she was being stared at, so it was hard for her not to panic. She subconsciously swallowed and pretended not to understand.
"Husband, ma'am, what, what do you mean?"
Sheng Huan stared at her: "Who is the person who saved me..."
Siyun's heart was beating violently. It was obvious that the lady had already doubted, or perhaps, not really doubted.
She said respectfully, "Husband, Madam, that is, that is the Marquis."
"Really?" Sheng Huan said in a low voice.
"Yes...ah, ma'am."
Sheng Huan, however, fastened the bracelet tightly, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing more.
-
Lanterns were hung high in the mansion. In the black night sky, a big round and bright moon was hovering, and the osmanthus tree inside was clearly visible.
The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. After Sheng Huan got off the carriage, he rushed to Shaoguang Courtyard.
"lady!"
"Ma'am, please slow down!"
Siyun and Shihua were chasing after them.
When the butler saw this scene, he was also shocked.
"What's going on?" He asked Xuantian who was following behind him: "What happened? Where is the Marquis?"
Xuantian looked at the housekeeper Shi, feeling worried for his own master: "There was an assassination in the palace today, the master was worried about the second lady and showed his emotions... The second lady seemed to have... seen something..."
When Butler Shi heard this, he almost stumbled and fell, and his breathing stagnated.
How could so many things happen during this Mid-Autumn Festival? That damn assassin!
No, wait!
When the butler suddenly looked at Sheng Huan's back as she ran quickly with her skirt lifted up, he was shocked.
"Madam, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Could it be..."
His expression changed drastically.
-
Shaoguangyuan.
Just as Butler Shi had expected, Sheng Huan returned to the house and began frantically looking for "Gu Chongguang".
"Husband!"
"Husband, I'm back!"
But there was no sign of the man in the main house, so she ran to the side room to look for him. She searched Shaoguang Courtyard almost every time, but still couldn't find him.
Her voice became more and more urgent, and tears fell rapidly.
Nanny You rushed forward, not knowing what had happened, but when she saw the pale faces of Siyun and the others, she had a premonition in her heart. She was worried that the woman would cry and hurt herself, so she went to comfort her:
"Second Madam, Second Master... Second Master just went out for a while because of something. He will be back later."
The woman suddenly raised her eyes to look at her, her almond-shaped eyes were particularly stubborn.
"No, I don't believe it!"
"My husband promised me today that he would wait for me to come back! He won't go anywhere, he won't break his promise, never!"
She pushed Nanny You away and continued searching in the yard.
When other people came to persuade her, she ignored them.
"Husband, where are you?"
"Husband, we agreed to watch the moon together today, please come out."
"Husband!"
"Husband, don't hide from me!"
The woman burst into tears: "Don't hide from me, okay..."
Her voice became more and more sad and hoarse, she sobbed and her steps became more and more unsteady.
Siyun and the others were extremely anxious. Seeing that she was about to fall, Siyun hurried to help her.
"lady!"
Sheng Huan grabbed Siyun's arm, his eyes red, with cautious trepidation and fear.
"Siyun, tell me, where is my husband?"
"Is he... dead or alive? Tell me!"
The tears in the woman's eyes flowed down like pearls falling from a string, unable to be stopped.
Siyun's eyes turned red and she was speechless.
The woman choked when she saw this. She looked at the servants around her, her heart sank, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"So... that person... is not my husband, right..."
"lady!"
Sheng Huan pushed her away and rushed towards the ancestral hall.
-
On the Mid-Autumn night, the sky is dotted with stars.
After Gu Hengqing finished dealing with government affairs, he used up all his internal strength to rush back to the mansion.
"Master Hou!"
Gu Hengqing's heart sank.
Sure enough, the next second the butler came forward with red eyes and sighed deeply.
"The second lady went to the ancestral hall."
-
In the ancestral hall.
The woman was kneeling on the ground with a brazier burning on it.
She had obviously run out of tears and was mechanically placing paper money one by one into the basin.
The paper money was swallowed by the flames in an instant. The dim yellow light shone on the woman's face, revealing the undried tear marks on her face.
Gu Hengqing walked in from outside, and when he saw her like this, his heart ached.
The man walked over slowly, his steps heavy.
Obviously, she already knew everything.
"He Wei."
The woman turned a deaf ear and continued burning paper money.
"He Wei."
Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of Sheng Huan's eyes, and then someone knelt down beside him.
"Sorry……"
"go out."
She finally raised her head. Her eyelashes were wet with tears and her tears had dried. But when she looked at him, her eyes were filled with tears again.
"go out!"
"It's my fault. I lied to you." Gu Hengqing held her hand tremblingly: "I know you hate me and don't want to see me, but don't cry and hurt yourself, okay..."
Tears fell from Sheng Huan's eyes, but she pushed him away cruelly: "Get out! My business has nothing to do with you, get out!"
The more she talked, the more she collapsed. Seeing her collapse, Gu Hengqing felt even more distressed, sad, and self-blaming:
"He Wei, I know you hate me, don't cry, don't cry..."
His voice made her tears even more uncontrollable. She bit her lip hard and looked away, not looking at him.
"Get out! Get out!"
Gu Hengqing thought that she hated him so much and didn't want to see him for a moment.
The man felt sad and bitter, but he still tried to comfort her gently: "As long as you are fine... and don't hold any resentment in your heart, I will die..."
Sheng Huan was stunned. He didn't know why he suddenly had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the next moment.
A dagger appeared, and Gu Hengqing stabbed himself in the abdomen with force.
"What are you going to do?!"
The woman was almost speechless and grabbed his hand, but the man was too strong and the dagger had already stabbed into her.
Blood flows.
"He Wei..."
Gu Hengqing looked at her tenderly: "I lied to you, and this is what I deserve."
"Don't cry..."
Sheng Huan's eyes were filled with pain, and she sniffed. No one knew that a little spiritual power in her hand was healing his wounds:
"I don't hate you, I don't hate you..."
There was finally a glimmer of light in Gu Hengqing's eyes, but the next second, Sheng Huan had already lowered his head, his fingers trembling slightly.
"But we should not meet again in the future..."
The light in Gu Hengqing's eyes was completely extinguished, and his heart ached bitterly.
"He Wei..."
She ignored him and shouted outside.
"Butler Shi, come in. Take my brother down to heal his wounds."
Butler Shi and the others outside heard everything, but since no one shouted, they did not dare to go in. Now, when they heard Sheng Huan's voice, they hurried in. As soon as they came in, they saw the blood on Gu Hengqing's abdomen and their hearts skipped a beat.
"Master Hou!"
Gu Hengqing didn't want to leave.
Everyone just stood there doing nothing, not daring to move or to persuade.
In the ancestral hall, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
"Go out." At this time, Sheng Huan finally spoke, and threw the paper money in her hand into the brazier: "I want to be alone with my husband for a while."
Gu Hengqing's heart ached.
