In the front hall.

Song Yanqing looked at An Ning coming out and quickly bowed and said, "I'm going to see the Empress."

"Sit... cough cough." An Ning greeted Song Yanqing and suddenly started coughing.

The palace servant hurried forward and patted her back lightly.

An Ning didn't expect that she would cough like this if she was not careful.

She was really careless about her body.

"What's wrong with the Empress?" Song Yanqing said with concern.

"If you get infected with the cold, just take a few doses of medicine." An Ning said indifferently.

"It has been severe cold weather recently, so I hope the Empress will take care of her body." Song Yanqing instructed.

"Don't worry, I am a doctor and knows your physical condition." An Ning said indifferently, "Ishikiji Temple asked you to come here because I wanted to talk to you about Koyukikawa."

"I also guessed that the Empress was talking to me about Gu Yukino. I had to tell the Empress that I had underestimated Gu Yukino's influence in the court this time. I also felt that it had been half a year since the rebellion of Gu Yukino, and the resentment in the court should have been calmed down. However, I didn't know that as soon as the emperor came back, the court officials were very fierce about Gu Yukino's rebellion. The Emperor intended to downplay the contradictions, but he did not know that this was the same ease, but instead angered the ministers. The ministers collectively advised and demanded that Gu Yukino's rebellion be severely punished."

"I went to talk to Xiao Jinxing yesterday, and I also read the memorials of the ministers, and then I realized that Xiao Jinxing was actually under a lot of pressure. So I didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore, so I wanted to ask from you if there is any feasible way to let all civil and military officials let Gu Xingchuan go." An Ning did not hide it from Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing sighed, "I'm not hiding it, before the Empress finds me, the emperor had already consulted me with Weichen to discuss the matter of Gu Xingchuan. In fact, Weichen could feel that the emperor's personal hatred for Gu Xingchuan was not strong, but he just wanted to give an explanation to all civil and military officials. However, committing the crime of rebellion will definitely kill the nine clans. Moreover, Gu Xingchuan did not make military achievements like the Bai family, nor did he have any great achievements. The emperor directly promoted Gu Xingchuan to the prime minister that year, which actually made many court officials dissatisfied. Fortunately, Gu Xingchuan was indeed capable and did not make any mistakes in finding him. Over time, he acknowledged his identity. But now Gu Xingchuan's sudden rebellion aroused the indignation of those who once said that Gu Xingchuan was not worthy of his position, and then it turned into the current situation."

"Who are they?" An Ning asked.

I was trying hard to find a way to save Gu Xingchuan without making things difficult for Xiao Jinxing.

"A lot." Song Yanqing said, adding without any concealment, "Let me say so, except for the weak ministers, other civil and military officials may want to execute Gu Xingchuan to serve as a warning to You."

An Ning clenched her lips.

"So if the Empress wanted to win over the ministers and let Gu Xingchuan go one by one, this method would not work at all. The Wei minister and the Emperor also thought about it and secretly convinced the ministers who had made the most violent scene. But if you really think about it, you would encircle all the officials of Da Xuan Kingdom, without showing it at all. And now it is not only civil and military officials, but the rebellion of Gu Xingchuan has long been spread throughout the Da Xuan Kingdom, and the people of Da Ming are also waiting for Gu Xingchuan to bring it to justice."

"Is there no other way to save Gu Xingchuan?" An Ning asked Song Yanqing.

"On the one hand, we must stabilize the emperor's regime, on the other hand, we must stabilize the emperor's people's hearts, and on the other hand, we must rescue Gu Xingchuan in violation of the general trend. At least for the time being, we have not found a better solution." Song Yanqing said bluntly.

It means that according to normal means, there is really no way to save Koo Yukikawa.

Neither Xiao Jinxing nor Song Yanqing can do it, so how can she do it?!

"Empress." Song Yanqing looked at An Ning's appearance and couldn't help but speak, "Actually, Weichen is like Empress. He does not want Gu Xingchuan to sacrifice. Gu Xingchuan is not bad, but because he is too good, he has reached this extreme. Weichen also thinks it is a pity that Gu Xingchuan died. But from the perspective of the overall situation, only Gu Xingchuan's death can make everything peaceful. Not only stabilize the emperor's regime, but also allow the emperor to give an explanation to civil and military officials, it is also a relief for Gu Xingchuan, and he is also very tired to live."

yes.

Gu Xingchuan's death was good to Xiao Jinxing, and he could kill him to warn him.

Gu Xingchuan's death is also good for Gu Xingchuan. He can live without having to bear the infatuation of the world for a lifetime, and he can achieve liberation.

But what about her?!

Koo Yukikawa is really dead. Will she really not mind. Will she really live a relaxed and comfortable life?!

She would only always feel guilty towards Gu Yukikawa and keep letting herself live and blame herself.

"Empress, think about it, Gu Xingchuan has loved you for so many years, but I don't know if I have experienced the feeling of being unable to love, but I have experienced it. Life is really worse than death. So Gu Xingchuan ended his life like this, perhaps his best ending." Song Yanqing comforted.

An Ning looked at Song Yanqing's sincerity.

Listening to Song Yanqing saying so many great truths.

"I have thought about Gu Xingchuan's death. When Gu Xingchuan gave up on himself for a while and wanted to starve himself to death, I actually tried to accept Gu Xingchuan's death. I also felt that he might be liberation if he died. However, no matter how I persuaded myself, I couldn't do it. I couldn't watch him die in front of me, let alone accept it. He died for me." An Ning said, his voice very low, as if he suppressed pain, and as if he calmed himself again.

Song Yanqing looked at the queen and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I just said so much and persuaded the queen so much. In fact, I really calmed down and thought about Gu Xingchuan's death, and I still felt very reluctant.

After all, a person who is already by his side, a person who should have a brilliant life, will disappear forever... Death itself is the greatest sorrow in the world, and no one can really accept it calmly.

It is reasonable that the queen cannot let go.

But from the emperor's standpoint, he can only choose cruelty.

What Gu Yukikawa chose for himself was a dead end, but he chose it freely and did not consider how much regret and regret it left to the living!

Song Yanqing suddenly thought about it now.

When Gu Xingchuan was really sentenced to death by the emperor, it was really no longer possible between the queen and the emperor.

Even though Gu Xingchuan died as he did, even if Gu Xingchuan had no complaints, even if the queen could understand that the emperor would not hate the emperor.

But the queen's conscience could not be achieved, and she and the emperor were based on the sacrifice of Gu Yukikawa.

They will part ways because Koyukikawa is really completely.
