The crowd dispersed, and the children went back to their dormitories.

The emperor finally had time to be alone.

Gu Wanning didn't make a detour, and asked bluntly: "Do you suspect that this war started because of Tibet?"

"Yes," a chill flashed in Xiao Xu's eyes, and his voice was cold: "The Turks have invaded the border pass one after another, but they have all been blocked out of the pass. For more than ten years, there have been continuous wars at the border gates, but they have never been urgent to the point of burning wolf smoke. ”

"There must be something strange in this. ”

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and their eyes froze.

At that time, Tubo sent envoys to ask for relatives, and Emperor Yuanyou originally belonged to Hengyang. In the previous life, it was indeed Hengyang who married to Tubo, and within a few years, Hengyang died of incense.

Xiao Xu couldn't bear to see Hengyang die in vain, so he teamed up with Gu Guanning to help Hengyang escape this catastrophe. Later, Emperor Yuanyou selected the princess of Leyang, the daughter of the king of Qi.

The lord of Leyang lived in the palace for half a year. Unlike the sleek and weak Hengyang, the lord of Leyang has the demeanor of his father King Qi.

The county lord of Leyang is a smart person, he knows that he can't escape the fate of his relatives, he is obviously afraid in his heart, but he is willing on his face. Even the cold-hearted Emperor Yuanyou was moved by the performance of the Lord of Leyang. He was rewarded with a very rich dowry.

Whether the prince of Tubo really fell in love with the lord of Leyang at first sight, everyone has no way of knowing. However, since such rumors can be spread, it can be seen that the prince of Tubo is quite satisfied with the lord of Leyang.

After the lord of Leyang and his relatives married, there was no possibility of returning to Daqin. The crowd gradually forgot about her.

A few years ago, the king of Qi led his troops to seize the palace unsuccessfully, and was then killed. Except for the prince of Qi, all the men in the palace of Qi died. There were a few old and weak women and children left.

Tibet and Great Qin were separated by a Turkic and by no means friendly relations with each other. Therefore, it is not easy for the news of Great Qin to reach Tubo.

However, King Qi's rebellion is by no means a trivial matter, and the lord of Leyang will know about it sooner or later.

"This time the border war is urgent, and it must be related to Tibet. Xiao Xu said in a deep voice.

Gu Guanning exhaled hard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Perhaps, the prince of Qi, who has been hiding for several years and has disappeared, will also have news soon." ”

Obviously, the prince of Han and the prince of Wei also thought of it. That's why the prince of Han Wang looked at Sister Yue with that kind of gaze.

As soon as he mentioned the prince of Qi, Xiao Xu's eyes were even more chilling: "Before King Qi led the troops, he had already prepared a way for Xiao Rui to retreat. In the past few years, Xiao Rui has not been heard from. Now that I think about it, I may have secretly absconded to Tibet. That's why we can't find any trace of him. ”

Tubo is thousands of miles away from Great Qin. The imperial power is the most prosperous in the capital, and the farther away from the capital, the more it is beyond the reach of the whip. If Xiao Rui is hiding in Tibet, it can also explain why Xiao Rui has not been found in the past few years.

Both husband and wife fell silent at the same time.

The name Xiao Rui kept appearing in the hearts of the two.

This person has left a strong mark on Gu Guanning's life. The love-hate entanglement in the past life has continued into this life. It's easier said than done.

For Xiao Xu, the name Xiao Rui is also indelible.

They are brothers and rivals. They envied each other and hated each other. Fate has long entwined them together, until one side is defeated and dies.

……

Sleepless nights.

When he got up the next morning, Gu Wanning's face was gloomy and his mind was a little drowsy.

Xiao Xu is not much better, but he still has to brace himself to deal with political affairs.

Before leaving, Xiao Xu specially told Gu Wanning: "You didn't sleep well last night, so rest well today." The affairs in the palace, let Linlang and Linglong take care of it for you. ”

Gu Wanning smiled and hummed.

After Xiao Xu left, the smile that he barely held up quickly faded.

An ominous premonition weighed heavily on my heart. It was as if something terrible had happened, and the clouds were about to peak.

She hadn't felt this way in a long time. The last time I had such a premonition was in my distant past life, when I was chased and fled by the pursuers, and my life was in danger at any time.

After being reborn, everything was in her foreknowledge. Husband and wife hand in hand, no one is invincible. Occasionally, there were some waves, but they quickly subsided.

This time, it was really unexpected.

"Niangniang," Linlang's familiar footsteps sounded behind him: "The emperor told the slaves and maids to let Niangniang rest well." Why don't you simply freshen up, eat breakfast and then rest?"

As soon as Gu Wanning turned his head, a beautiful face full of concern suddenly appeared in front of him. In Linlang's eyes, Gu Wanning saw himself suddenly.

Then, Gu Wanning immediately came to his senses and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Even if the prince of Qi shows up and Tubo is attacking, what can he do? Great Qin is strong and strong, and the army is wide, so it can't be an enemy of Tubo!

……

"I did get a little hungry. Gu Guanning cheered up and said, "Let Pearl bring breakfast!"

Linlang responded, hesitated slightly, and asked softly, "Is Niangniang okay?"

Gu Wanning smiled at Linlang: "Yesterday, I suddenly heard that the beacon tower was burning with wolf smoke, and I was a little anxious, so I didn't sleep well." Today is a good life and rest for a day. You don't have to worry. ”

Linlang breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression was a little lighter: "It's okay." ”

Gu Wanning looked at the loyal Linlang, a trace of warmth welled up in his heart, and suddenly said, "Linlang, you are two years older than me. I'm twenty-six years old this year!"

Linlang pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, the slave is twenty-six this year." Mother is really good memory. ”

How can you not remember?

Gu Wanning's eyes softened, and he said with a smile: "Our master and servant have been together for many years, day and night, longer than husband and wife have been together. How could I not remember. ”

Linlang immediately showed a look of panic: "This must not be heard by the emperor." Otherwise, the emperor will definitely drive the slaves and maids away. In the future, the slave and maid will have no chance to serve the mother. ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Gu Wanning, who was full of worries, was amused by Linlang.

Xiao Xu's careful eye is indeed well known. A dignified man, but he loves to be jealous. The heart is not much bigger than the tip of a needle.

Linlang also laughed, her familiar eyebrows flashing with familiar pleasure.

"Linlang, you're not too young, you should have a child with Mu Tao. Gu Wanning said softly: "You have been reluctant to leave me all these years, and neither you nor Linglong have children. It has been delayed for so many years, and it cannot be delayed any longer. ”

When you are pregnant, you can't be close to you. It will take at least a year or so.

Linlang and Linglong have been reluctant to conceive and have children, all because of Gu Guanning.

In the past, when it came to such a topic, Linlang always talked about it. Today, he nodded: "The slave listens to the mother." ”
