Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Chapter 2 Either expel me from the clan or bury her in the ancestral tomb

Mu Qingli never thought that he would see that person when he opened his eyes again.

Gu Luoheng, the former legitimate son of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, is now the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor and also her first fiancé.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Mu Qingli felt empty and sour in his heart.

Apart from her parents and relatives, the person she feels most guilty about in this world is probably him.

She didn't know how to face him and subconsciously lowered her head. What she saw was her almost transparent soul and... the corpse not far away.

It turns out she is still dead.

Mu Qingli looked at this scene with some curiosity. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to see himself after death.

It was not until the guard beside Gu Luoheng came over and replied that she came back to her senses.

"Master, these people were poisoned and silenced. The brothers who sent them have already dealt with them."

Gu Luoheng bent his knees and took out a clean handkerchief from his bosom, carefully wiped the blood off the girl's face and removed the chains from her body.

His movements were gentle and graceful, and even though he was covered in dust, it could not diminish his elegance in the slightest.

This was his wife, a childhood sweetheart arranged by their parents. He had thought they would live in harmony and grow old together, but he didn't expect things to go against his will and end up being separated by life and death.

Fate comes and goes, maybe he and she are really not destined to be together.

The guard stood quietly behind him, his brows gloomy but he couldn't help showing a bit of heartache.

The Poison Queen knew her master's intentions and kept the news secret on purpose. She only learned a few days ago that Miss Mu had been imprisoned in a dark cell.

Although the master said that he would never care about her again, he still rushed back from the border after hearing the news, running day and night and killing eight horses. It was a pity that he still couldn't see her for the last time.

"Bury the young man properly and burn the rest of the bodies."

Gu Luoheng took off his cloak, covered the girl's cold body with it, then gently picked her up and took her away, his voice as cold as ice.

He already knew that the young man was the one who saved her, and that she had someone with her when she died. For this reason alone, he should let the young man rest in peace. As for those who hurt her, they should have been cut into pieces, and it was already a mercy for him to let their bodies be cremated and become wandering ghosts.

Mu Qingli lowered his brows and looked quietly at the body of the young man in black before turning around and following Gu Luoheng's footsteps.

What she didn't expect was that Gu Luoheng actually took her back to the Gu family's old house. It was not until the elders of the clan started to make a fuss that she learned that Gu Luoheng wanted to bury her in the Gu family's ancestral tomb.

But...why?

Mu Qingli's eyes suddenly became calm, and his soul floated in the air, staring at Gu Luoheng with an extremely complicated look.

How could she be considered a member of the Gu family if she had already called it quits before the marriage was consummated? How could she be buried in the Gu family's ancestral tomb? Why did he do this?

In the past, she was kind and innocent and was drugged by the bitch Liao Zhirou. Although she tried her best to maintain her innocence, she was eventually caught in adultery with her clothes in disarray. From then on, the whole of Beijing banished her to the dust.

She felt ashamed to see him and avoided him everywhere from then on. She even asked someone to pass on the token of breaking off the engagement. She trampled on his reputation like this. Shouldn't he... hate her to the core?

"Either expel me from the clan or bury her in the ancestral tomb. It's your choice."

Gu Luoheng didn't care about the opinions of the elders at all. He just said a few words lightly and carried the person into the inner room.

Mu Qingli followed him all the time, watching him put on her makeup, tie her hair into a bun, change into her wedding dress, and then gently kissed her between the eyebrows.

But that affectionate look made her tremble all over.

Gu Luoheng took care of everything before holding the person in his arms again, his brows lowered and his voice was unusually gentle.

"You've always loved beauty, and I wonder if you'll like my cooking. Don't rush on the way. I'll come and accompany you after I've taken care of everything."

What this means...

Mu Qingli could hardly believe his ears. It was like a bolt from the blue, or as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over him from head to toe. His heart seemed to be filled with lead and was sinking straight down.

After a long while, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard twice, but unfortunately, the blow went through his body without any pain.

How blind must she be to fall in love with such a beast in human form and with a wolf's heart in this life, and to let him down for all his deep affection.

Gu Luoheng's words really hit the weak spot of the elders. Although the Gu family is a prominent family in Beijing, most of its descendants are mediocre and none of them inherit the will of their ancestors.

The most promising one among the younger generation is Gu Luoheng, who has taken the position of Prince's Junior Tutor before he was thirty. How could the elders of the clan be willing to expel such a talented descendant?

So when Gu Luoheng came out again with the person in his arms, all the elders had disappeared, as if they had tacitly agreed not to interfere with his actions in the old house, as if they knew nothing.

Gu Luoheng was not surprised. He asked someone to guard outside the ancestral tomb while he dug the grave and opened the coffin himself. He put the person in but only closed half of the coffin.

People who have no grave after death will become lonely ghosts. People like her should not end up like this. Moreover, he had already left oral instructions that when everything was over, his subordinates would bury them together.

Although we didn't grow old together in life, we can share the same coffin and look forward to the next life after death. This is also good.

Mu Qingli followed him quietly for a long time.

Although she didn't know why she survived like this, she guessed that Gu Luoheng must have some rare treasure that could protect her soul, so she was not afraid of the sunlight but could not leave him more than three feet away.

Although Gu Luoheng was a civil servant, few people knew that he was actually proficient in both civil and military skills. Mu Qingli knew this because he had witnessed his father teaching him martial arts when he was young.

She was in a soul state and could not do anything. She could only float around with Gu Luoheng every day.

As they watched him lead his army in uprising, public outcry grew louder.

I watched him collude with others inside and outside, planning day and night.

Watch as he breaks into the imperial city and captures the emperor and the poisoned queen alive.

She watched as her former lover was tied up in a dragon robe, and watched as the sister who used to call her a good sister was trampled underfoot.

"Master, the court has already made arrangements. What should we do with these two people?" asked the guard beside him.

In the hall, Gu Luoheng didn't even glance at the emperor. With just one sentence, he decided their fate: "The man will be torn to pieces by a chariot, and the woman will be lingchi."

Hearing this, the two of them naturally resisted to the death but were eventually dragged away by the guards.

Liao Zhirou stared at him viciously but said nothing.

Before she climbed to a high position, she had admired his elegance and grace, but only after she suffered at his hands did she start to stay away from him. No one knew better than her how decisive and ruthless this man was.

Since you have reached a dead end, why bother to sacrifice your pride?

Knowing that he had no hope of survival, the emperor suddenly became quiet and stared at him with a strange smile.

"She's obviously your fiancée, but she loves me so deeply. How do you feel, Gu Luoheng? Haha."

"Shut up!" One of the guards was angry and kicked him hard.

"Gu Luoheng, you became famous at a young age and lived a glorious life, but you don't know what it means to be by mistake, haha."

The emperor seemed to recall something from the past and suddenly burst into wild laughter, saying, "You two are destined not to be together!"

"Shut up, take him away for execution!" Gu Luoheng turned around with an expressionless face, the man was already dead, and there was no point in saying these things.

Mu Qingli looked at his disappeared hand and suddenly smiled.

Her soul is growing weaker and weaker, and it seems that she has not much time left in this world.

Seeing him take the medicine and lie peacefully beside her body, she was heartbroken, but her soul was almost scattered and she didn't even have the strength to move. She could only climb onto the edge of the coffin and gently stick to it.

Being able to stay with him during her final moments was probably a gift from God to her, but why was she so unwilling in her heart?

If there is an afterlife...

Her consciousness gradually faded...
