Chapter 193 Gu Shi hanged himself
"Gu Shi, you are right, really.
You're right, you'd better keep this good attitude for the rest of your life, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep."
Seeing Shen Muxi turn around and leave, Gu Shi was anxious to catch up, "Mumu."
The steps stopped.
Shen Muxi stood there motionless, five steps away from him, without speaking or turning around.
As if quietly waiting for his next words.
Gu Shi clenched his only remaining fist and lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I really don't know..."
"Whether we know it or not, the damage has been done."
Shen Muxi turned around and looked at him seriously, with no sadness or joy in her eyes, and no longer filled with hatred like before.
"Gu Shi, I'll tell you one last time.
Xiaoxiao and I were killed by your childhood sweetheart and her daughter.
The former Shen Muxi is dead. The one who appears in front of you now is Shen Xi, the Crown Princess of Nanyuan, and also the lonely soul of Shen Muxi who came back unwillingly to collect debts from you.
No matter what disaster you encounter in the future, it is what you deserve and it is your retribution."
Shen Muxi mentioned again that Xiaoxiao was killed by Su Liuxi and her daughter.
What came to Gu Shi's mind was all the abnormal behavior of the little girl when he found Xiaoxiao from Nanyuan not long ago.
She was such a timid girl before, but when she came back she seemed like a different person.
How much suffering did his daughter endure in the corner that he couldn't see?
Because of his neglect, she and Xiaoxiao were bullied in the mansion.
But he knew nothing about these things.
It's his fault.
He couldn't shirk it.
"sorry..."
Those three words weighed like a thousand pounds, crushing him in an instant.
A tear rolled down his cheek.
It wet his collar.
Shen Muxi's heart was as cold as iron, and his expression was calm.
"I don't forgive."
"Gu Shi, go to hell with your apology."
It was clear that her tone was so light and airy that it was as if she was talking to a stranger.
But Gu Shi still felt as if his chest was hit hard by something.
A surge of blood and energy surged up in his throat, and he was unable to suppress the blood in his throat. He spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Shen Muxi remained indifferent.
Gu Shi's eyes were filled with moisture as he stared at her, trying to see a little bit of the warmth he once had on her face.
But no.
Nothing at all.
Unprecedented despair enveloped him.
It was as if all the vitality had been sucked out of him at once.
Under Shen Muxi's indifferent gaze, the black hair growing on Gu Shi's back turned visibly gray.
This is the result of exhaustion.
It was also the result of the poison Shen Muxi had given him before.
Gu Shi.
Not long to live.
But, he deserves it.
Shen Muxi did not hesitate.
Turn around and walk away.
Even though she felt the burning gaze behind her, she did not give Gu Shi any chance to speak.
...
The days flew by.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
King Xian finally ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Beichen following the advice of his ministers.
Everyone celebrates.
Amnesty to the world.
The day after King Xian ascended the throne.
Murong Jingyan finished handling Beichen's affairs.
Set out on the journey back to Nanyuan with Shen Muxi.
The war between the two countries that attracted everyone's attention did not lead to a conflict.
This disappointed some people.
"I wonder what tricks the King Xian... no, the new emperor used to silence those old war geeks so quickly."
In Shen's carriage, Shen Muxi curiously lifted the curtain and looked back.
Murong Jingyan turned her head back.
"It's just some unorthodox methods. It's better if you don't know them."
Who could have imagined that Fu Junjing, who always boasted of being upright and honest, would actually kidnap the family of an old minister in the dark of night and strong of wind, and even threaten to send their wives and children to the battlefield first if war broke out...
Can those old ministers not compromise?
Shen Muxi just thought Murong Jingyan was saying that Fu Junjing didn't play by the rules, and muttered softly, "When necessary, the necessary means are used. Your Highness, you sometimes just don't understand."
Murong Jingyan pretended not to hear and handed the warmed medicine to Shen Muxi.
After Shen Muxi took the medicine, he spoke softly, "Gu Shi hanged himself a few days ago."
Shen Muxi's hand holding the medicine paused.
"Wang Ying was fed the Mind-Losing Powder by ours, and after he lost his memory, we sent him to a wealthy family in Jiangnan. From then on, he became Shen Ying, the only son of Jiangnan cloth merchant Shen An.
The servants who had previously been with Su Liuxi and her daughter in the Rongjun Palace were also dealt with by us. The other servants were sold off one by one. As for the reason why Gu Shi hanged himself..."
Murong Jingyan pulled the corner of his mouth, "I guess it's because there's no one to serve him, and the injury of the broken arm is too painful, so he is anxious to seek relief.
When he was found, his body was already rotten and smelly, with his silver hair dripping blood all over the ground.
Shen Muxi smiled. "When Gu Shi was healthy, he was miserable even without servants to serve him. Not to mention that he has a broken arm now, and the wound won't heal. Add to that the occasional heartache and the lack of food. Death is the only way for him to be relieved."
While speaking, Shen Muxi's eyes fell on Murong Jingyan.
She specifically had people keep an eye on Gu Shi. If Murong Jingyan hadn't interfered, Gu Shi would have had no chance of successfully committing suicide.
Even though Gu Shi would not live long, she still hoped that he would die of poisoning rather than commit suicide.
As expected, Murong Jingyan avoided her gaze guiltily.
Shen Muxi held the medicine bowl, motionless and protesting silently.
Finally, Murong Jingyan was defeated.
"Yes, I told the guards not to stop him from committing suicide."
He looked at Shen Muxi seriously, "You have been obsessed for more than a year. It's time to move on. Shen Muxi, I don't want you to be influenced by Gu Shi in the future."
As long as Gu Shi was alive, she would think about how to torture him. As time went on, she would still think about returning to Beichen...
Her past with Gu Shi is over.
She should embrace a better life instead of dwelling on the mistakes she made.
Every word Murong Jingyan said was powerful.
Shen Muxi couldn't think of any reason to refute.
Now that their relationship was delicate, she couldn't just tell Murong Jingyan for no reason that she didn't hate Gu Shi, but she wanted to use Gu Shi as a warning to remind herself not to make the same mistake again.
She tilted her head back and poured the medicine in her hand down her throat.
Perhaps the medicine was too bitter, and her throat felt sour and her eyes were burning.
All the resentment in my heart seemed to disappear with Murong Jingyan's words "Gu Shi hanged himself".
As she put down the medicine bowl, two lines of tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
She wanted to raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but Murong Jingyan got there first.
"I know you feel wronged. If you want to cry, just cry."
Shen Muxi turned her head to avoid Murong Jingyan's hand and wiped it on her face randomly.
Murong Jingyan's body stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
"It's all in the past. I won't think about it anymore."
After putting down the medicine bowl, Shen Muxi looked at Murong Jingyan with a serious expression, "Your Highness, the cooperation we talked about before..."
