The Firmament Stone was speechless.
Gu Xijiu seemed to have thought of something, "Has the case of Count Le Hua been closed?"
Rong Jialuo nodded, "Yes. Although the evidence was against them, there was no direct evidence to prove that they had killed Count Le Hua. Furthermore, the twelfth brother and Gu Tianqing had been clenching their teeth and refusing to confess. Therefore, the three departments could only confirm that they were trying to frame you. Moreover, General Gu had been begging my father to let go of your sister because of his past military achievements and the fact that you were the disciple of The Lord … Therefore, my father decided to let them go after much consideration. However, it was not an acquittal, but an exile. "What a pity. Both of them will be demoted to commoners and will be sent to the wilderness at the frontier for three years. After three years, they will be allowed to return to the capital if they do not commit any crimes. However, the twelfth brother will not be a prince in this life and Gu Tianqing will be a commoner forever. She will not be allowed to marry the son of an official. My father has already decided on this and will probably announce it in a few days. "
Gu Xijiu did not speak anymore and only took a sip of water.
In fact, she also understood that the Emperor did not punish the two of them lightly for the sake of Gu Xietian. It was because the Emperor himself wanted to let them go. After all, Rong Yan was the Emperor's son. The Emperor was just taking advantage of the situation to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
Gu Xijiu had expected this result, but she still felt uncomfortable when she heard it personally.
"Little Cang, did I help the original owner to take revenge? Did I not do it quickly enough? "Gu Xijiu asked the Firmament Stone secretly.
The Firmament Stone was a little depressed, "I think so! But it doesn't matter. Your original soul is a very kind girl. Even if she felt wronged, she would not blame you and would not harm you. "
Gu Xijiu took another sip of water and said lightly, "The kinder she is, the more I want to take revenge for her. To be honest, the longer I take over this body, the more I sympathize with the original owner …"
It was as if the original owner of this body was herself.
Could it be that the original owner was her in her previous life?
Not like! Their personalities were too different! It should not be.
Gu Xijiu shook her head and got rid of this unreliable thought.
...
It was the third month of spring.
The spring breeze had already dyed the treetops green. The stream of running water in the Imperial Garden had already thawed and was flowing along the bluestone with tinkling sounds. Below the bluestone, there was a five-meter drop, causing the water to form a waterfall. The water was not large, but it poured down like countless thin lines. When it landed on the white stone below, it actually produced a light zither-like sound before flowing into the distance …
Not far from the waterfall, there was a palace that looked like a waterside pavilion.
This was the most famous place in the Imperial Garden — the Jade Listening Hall.
The farewell banquet that the Emperor had prepared for Gu Xijiu was held here.
The banquet this time was extremely grand. Almost all the civil and military officials and their families were present.
Red men and green women, all dressed up to the nines. With the addition of the palace maids shuttling back and forth from time to time, the scene was extraordinarily lively.
This gathering wasn't like usual, where each family sat at a table. Instead, three people sat at a table.
The officials lined up in one row, the madams lined up in another row. As for the young masters and young ladies who were brought along, they were paired with each other. They also sat at a table of three, and those who were familiar with each other sat together.
According to the Imperial Consort who had arranged this banquet, it would be more lively for the young people to sit together.
