Jul 12, 2023

The queen mother said in front of Liu Yuru that she wanted Yunshang to marry Gu Jiusi. Liu Yuru was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was unwilling to share Gu Jiusi with the princess. Yun Shang was so angry that she drew her sword to kill Liu Yuru. Gu Jiusi rushed to see this scene, and immediately stepped forward to grab the sword, but was thrown into prison by the queen mother for committing a crime with a knife. Gu Jiusi immediately understood that all of this was the Queen Mother's scheme. The Empress Dowager went to the Changgeng Palace again to force the emperor to kill Gu Jiusi, and said that if she did not kill Gu Jiusi, she would hang him with a white silk when she returned. The emperor was in a dilemma, and said in front of Liu Yuru that Gu Jiusi was confused. Liu Yuru knelt down, and she was willing to drink the poisoned wine in exchange for the emperor to spare Gu Jiusi from the death penalty. Holding the glass of poisoned wine, Liu Yuru had already decided to die.

The glass of poisoned wine was drunk until it became poisonous, and there was still half an hour before the emperor allowed Liu Yuru to go to the prison to say goodbye to Gu Jiusi. Gu Jiusi was whipped in prison, and he was already in a coma. Liu Yuru was heartbroken, holding Gu Jiusi's hand and weeping, saying his final farewell. This journey has been difficult, and Liu Yuru knows that she will not be able to go to the end with Gu Jiusi. After Liu Yuru's death, the Gu family was full of family members. Su Wan fainted after being overwhelmed with anger and blood. Jiang Rou wept bitterly in front of Liu Yuru's mourning hall, and fainted from grief.

Ye Shi'an, Shen Ming and Ye Yun worshiped Liu Yuru's memorial tablet, Gu Jiusi was released from the imperial prison, returned to Gu Mansion, and walked into the hall in a daze. His face was bloodless and haggard, obviously he also knew that Liu Yuru drank poisonous wine to take the blame for himself. After Ye Shi'an reprimanded Gu Jiusi, he left angrily. Shen Ming was going to kill the Queen Mother, but Gu Jiusi told him to calm down, saying that Liu Yuru chose to die just to keep everyone alive. When Gu Jiusi saw Liu Yuru's body, he couldn't help crying, and Mu Nan took out the things Liu Yuru had left for Gu Jiusi during his lifetime. It was a rouge box, which was given to Liu Yuru by Gu Jiusi. The rouge had already been used up, and Liu Yuru left a letter for Gu Jiusi in the rouge box. In the letter, Liu Yuru asked Gu Jiusi to become a big tree to protect all people, not to be stupid, but to live a good life.

Zhou Ye declared that Gu Jiusi was demoted to Yongzhou Metropolitan Water Superintendent, in charge of the Yellow River water conservancy. Zhou Ye said that the emperor asked him to be the capital water supervisor, not for punishment, but to hand over the entire Yellow River to him. Gu Jiusi asked Zhou Ye to tell His Majesty that he would repair the Yellow River. Gu Jiusi was not dead, the queen mother was naturally dissatisfied, this time the emperor finally used the Beiliang marriage to make things right for the queen mother, leaving her speechless. The emperor wanted to see Gu Jiusi before his departure, but Gu Jiusi was resentful and refused to see him. Regarding Liu Yuru's death, Luo Zishang was equally sad. He had always used Liu Yuru as a bargaining chip to blackmail Gu Jiusi, and he had long thought that she would choose to die for Gu Jiusi, but now that he had reached this point, Luo Zishang was in great pain.

He doesn't want to kill Gu Jiusi now, he wants to let him live for two more years, make Gu Jiusi suffer, feel guilty for Liu Yuru's death, worry about it every day, and be a useless person in Yongzhou. The emperor called Zhou Gaolang, and the two played chess together. Zhou Gaolang didn't know what to say for a while. He was actually puzzled, the person who made the mistake was obviously Prince Fan Yu, but he wanted to demote Gu Jiusi to Yongzhou. Gu Jiusi was a pillar of the world, but now he is relegated. And the emperor did this because of his own consideration.
