"Gu Qingxuan is dead?"

After Lu Yuanzhi left the prison of the Criminal Department, he went to the north of the city to chase the funeral procession, and saw his two sons buried in peace, mourning for a long time, and his hatred for the Gu family was deep in the bone marrow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After returning to the mansion, Yang Longxing hurriedly came to see him and told him the news of Gu Qingxuan's assassination.

Lu Yuanzhi was also shocked, and confirmed again and again in disbelief: "Is he really dead?"

Yang Longxing said: "Yes! At the east gate of the palace, those guards saw him stabbed in the abdomen by a black-clothed masked man, and Dr. Yin, who was traveling with him, was also in danger of being killed.

Lu Yuanzhi was sullen, gritted his teeth, and said: "I think! The old man did arrange for someone to kill Gu Qingxuan, but in a remote place not far from the Gu family, how could he be stupid enough to do it at the east gate of the palace? Who is it?

Yang Longxing thought for a while and said with a smile: "Anyway, you have nothing to do with Lord Xiangguo, you just want someone to take the blame, isn't it? Gu Qingxuan is dead, now it's okay, Lord Xiangguo has to take revenge! What else is there to worry about?"

His heart was indeed happy, but he still felt a little abnormal, and he couldn't feel comfortable, so he was ready to go to the east gate of the palace and the Gu Mansion to investigate in person.

Lu Yuanzhi and Yang Longxing just walked out of Xiangguo's mansion, only to see Chang'an Lingyin rushing to this side with a team of men and horses, as soon as they saw him, Chang'an Lingyin directly dismounted and choked to the ground, like a catastrophe was coming, and said: "Xiangguo! The envoys of the four countries waiting for the edict in the post house have been killed!"

……

Zhenguo Princess's Mansion.

The eldest princess of Jinyi and the king of Jinxuan sat opposite each other, and the eldest princess personally made tea and served fragrant tea.

King Jin Xuan seemed to be thoughtful, lowered his eyes, and showed some discomfort from his expression.

was also born in the royal family and has been a brother and sister for most of his life, but he has not been able to get along with this sister so far.

When he was young, he was a concubine, the eldest princess and the first emperor were the queen's concubines, there was a gap, and then the eldest princess of Jinyi came to the court to discuss politics, the heavier the power, he could only endure it all the time, endured it for most of his life, and finally invited her out of Chang'an City, and the Jinxuan palace began to seize power, who would have thought that now she is back......

She held the white jade cup, smiled lightly on her red lips, and was calm and elegant: "Brother Wang has had a good time all these years?"

His face was cold, and he laughed at himself: "Thanks to the emperor's sister Hongfu, I have a good life for my brother." ”

She rolled her eyes and put down the teacup: "Since this is the case, there should be no collusion with Lu Yuanzhi!"

Prince Jinxuan's face did not change: "What is collusion? The imperial sister is serious, right? It's just an ordinary marriage, my daughter always has to get married, right?"

"Then he shouldn't marry his son. But what about now? Poor Xiaojun Hitomi was widowed at a young age. She was a little angry.

Prince Jin Xuan also had sadness in his eyes, the marriage of the county lord was always a knot in his heart, and it was destined to become a regret in his life, but he couldn't show weakness in front of her, so he only said: "This is also her life, unfortunately widowed, but the name is still there, not like others who are frivolous and have a bad reputation." ”

She sneered and leaned lazily on the couch: "I hope she won't be as sad as my embarrassing aunt." ”

King Jin Xuan was a little impatient, and said, "Imperial sister, you invited me here today, not just to talk about these idle things, right?"

She said, "Yes, the little sister wants to ask Brother Wang for a favor." ”

"What?"

"Borrow Brother Wang's dragon talisman for use. ”

The tea in King Jin Xuan's hand shook and rippled, and he looked at her, feeling more and more incomprehensible: "You want to order the Imperial Forest Army......?" I'm afraid not, right? I have to ask Your Majesty first. ”

"Nope. She shook her head slightly, and the corners of her lips were still smiling: "You can't let Your Majesty know in advance, as long as Brother Wang puts the dragon talisman here with me for a few days." ”

King Jin Xuan was furious, slapped the table and said, "No!

She was getting up and said indifferently: "This is not allowed to be objected to by Brother Wang." ”

"What do you want?"

She stretched out her hand, and the maid helped her up, and she walked towards the west wall, pushed open the window of the side compartment, and turned back to him, "Brother Wang, please come and have a look." ”

King Jin Xuan walked quickly to the window, stood side by side with her, looked at the past, and no longer calmed: "Jun Tong?"

In one of the backyards, there is a water pavilion corridor, and Chen Juntong, who has not yet shed his plain clothes, is sitting under the corridor, as if waiting for someone.

There are guards all over the backyard.

"How did you get her here?" he asked, surprised.

She said: "This poor girl, I just finished the funeral for her husband, I feel sorry for her, so I invited her to come to my princess's mansion to reminisce about the past, I, as an aunt, can I say something considerate to her, isn't it? ”

He was furious and slammed the window lattice: "How dare you threaten me with my daughter?"

She hooked her hand, closed the window, and walked into the house: "I don't dare to blackmail Brother Wang, I just want Brother Wang to help me this time, and also to help Brother Wang clear up the relationship with Lu Yuanzhi, otherwise you will be affected by him sooner or later." ”

She stretched out her hand: "Now, can you give me the dragon talisman?"

He glared at her resentfully, looked at the closed window, and finally reached out and took out the dragon talisman from his arms and handed it to her: "Now you can get your wish!"

She took the dragon talisman and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't just talk about me, if Brother Wang really refuses, you can lie to the little sister that the talisman is not on her body and you have to go back to get it, and then bring your royal forest army to surround my princess's mansion, but you still give it to me...... So, in fact, you also know in your heart, isn't it right now? You have an excuse to explain it to your good relatives. ”

"You ......" King Jin Xuan was speechless by her, after thinking about it, his expression changed again, and he asked her in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will suspect you?"

She just smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Little sister has a word, please remember Brother Wang, your surname is Chen, you should take guarding the country as your own responsibility, not for the utilitarian interests of the family." ”

He was very angry, probably because she saw through his selfishness.

"I will send the little princess back to the palace, don't worry, I am her aunt, how can I harm her?" she said.

King Jin Xuan was about to leave, not wanting to face her again.

But listening to her tone behind her, she turned deep and said, "Brother Wang, ...... in the future." Your Majesty will ask you......"

The prince of Jin Xuan left the Princess Mansion of Zhenguo.

After he left, the eldest princess pushed open the window, looked over there again, and saw a pair of young women parading together under the winding corridor.

The reason why Jun Tong came here directly after the funeral was not only because of his aunt's invitation, but because Gu Qingning came forward in person.

Earlier, Gu Qingning came here to see the eldest princess and wanted to ask her to help save Gu Qinghuan, but she asked Gu Qingning to help her first invite the county lord Chengshuo to come here, and promised to keep Gu Qinghuan safe.

Gu Qingning didn't understand whether this was a threat or not, and she didn't understand why she was so clear about her relationship with the county lord of Chengshuo, for the sake of Gu Qinghuan in prison, she could only try like this, so she rushed to Xiangguo Mansion to find Chen Juntong, who had just returned from the funeral, and expected that the eldest princess should not have bad intentions towards her niece.

Later, she happened to see King Jin Xuan come to the princess's mansion, and she almost guessed a rough idea in her heart

The eldest princess also came to the bottom of the corridor, and the lord of Chengshuo gave her a gift, she took the hands of the two of them, walked together to enjoy the flowers, and gently comforted Jun Tong, just like an aunt treats her juniors, and did not mention that King Jinxuan had come.

Gu Qingning on the side was speechless, and later asked to leave, the eldest princess asked the county lord to wait in the backyard for a while, and she took Qingning with her and personally sent her out.

Gu Qingning asked, "Let me come forward to invite the county lord over, is it my father's idea?"

She smiled: "Of course, otherwise how can I know that the county lord is good with you?"

Gu Qingning condensed worriedly: "What the hell is going on? Dare to ask the eldest princess what she wants?"

She stroked Gu Qingning's trembling shoulders with excitement, and said softly and comfortingly: "Qingning, don't worry, I know what you're worried about, believe me, your father won't care about your brother's life or death, I also asked my husband to visit him in the Criminal Department, Qinghuan won't have an accident." And I won't hurt the county lord, please come here, my goal has been achieved, the county lord is safe, you don't have to worry, just wait and see. ”

"That's good......" Gu Qingning really didn't like this feeling that he couldn't control anything, it was like being stuck in a fog and couldn't see anything clearly.

"As for what we want to do, it's not that we can't tell you......," she said, taking out a brocade from her bosom, "and this is the great gift your father gave me when he visited me." ”

Gu Qingning took it curiously, unfolded the brocade silk and looked at it carefully, only to see nine words written on it:

Kill the envoys, punish the ministers, and clear the king's side.

She shook her hand and asked, "Could it be that the killing of the envoy in the morning was arranged by my father in advance?"

"Nope. The eldest princess said: "No, think about it, the envoy was killed on the way to the audience, it will harm Qinghuan, your father will not arrange it like this, that time was indeed done by Lu Yuanzhi, and your brother's imprisonment is definitely not in your father's plan." ”

Gu Qingning nodded and walked out, "Okay, I see." ”

They walked out of the front hall and met the oncoming Marquis of An Yi in the front yard, Gu Qingning was about to greet him, only to hear him say: "Miss Gu, you listen to me, a very unfortunate thing happened, you must hold ......"

She lost her mind in horror and hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong with my brother?"

"No, their lives are safe for the time being, it's your father'......" An Yi Hou said solemnly.

"What happened to my father?"

He ...... Passed away...... Please mourn ......"

Gu Qingning was stunned for an instant, feeling that everything in front of his ears and eyes was distorted, and he couldn't believe it, so he had to look back at the eldest princess by luck to ask.

Who thought that the eldest princess was as frightened as her, shook her head and said in a low voice: "No! no! This is not in his plan......
