Chapter 866: Testament (2)
"Ahh These days, I've been worrying about you. ”
"Gentleness and generosity are your strengths and weaknesses. You think you can be ruthless when it matters most, but you don't. What a person's temperament is, cannot be easily changed. Maybe it doesn't show up on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical moment, it will be revealed. ”
"Ahh I also believe that you will be a diligent and good emperor. I also know that you and Gu Wanning are a loving couple. It's just that you have to remember that from this day on, you are not only Gu Guanning's husband, but you are also the new emperor of Great Qin. ”
"As the Son of Heaven, beware of being ruthless and resolute, and must not be soft-hearted and affectionate. Gu Guanning has a deep influence on you. She has a resolute temperament, and she is more shrewd than a man. I have always admired this granddaughter-in-law, even if her mother's ugly affair was exposed, I never thought of letting you divorce her wife. ”
"She will raise Gillian and Ah Yi well, as well as your future children. She would make a great queen of the middle palace. It's just that, whether intentionally or not, she will influence and interfere with your preferences and decisions. After you ascend the throne, you need to be responsible for the Xiao family and the country. Women must not be allowed to interfere in government. ”
"I specially chose the four concubines for you to balance the harem for you. It is also to let you know that there is more than one good woman in this world, Gu Guanning. Gu Guanning is a smart person, when he knows to take a step back for you. If she doesn't care about it, such a woman is definitely not worthy of being the queen of the six palaces. ”
"It is your responsibility to reproduce for the Xiao family. Don't forget!"
"It is your responsibility to take care of the government and the thousands of people. Don't forget!"
"If you are a good emperor, I can also smile at Jiuquan. ”
The inscription is the word grandfather, and it is stamped with a small private seal.
Xiao Xu held the two pieces of letter paper fluttering, only to feel that they were as heavy as a thousand catties.
The ardent anticipation of the imperial grandfather and the guilt for Gu Wanning were mixed together, and they kept rushing in his chest. Tearing his heart back and forth.
Who did it wrong?
Grandfather felt that he had done nothing wrong and that everything was for his sake.
But what did Aning do wrong? What did he do wrong?
He just wants to join hands with A-Ning and live like an ordinary couple, why does the emperor's grandfather want to estranged their husband and wife?
……
Xiao Xu closed his eyes and covered up all the pain.
Gonggong Li and Gonggong Qian didn't know when they retreated.
Those who stayed by his side were Xiao Guizi and Mu Tao.
Xiao Guizi and Mu Tao are his confidants and cronies, and they have been by his side for ten years. In private, he dared to comfort him with two words.
Xiao Guizi was the first to open his mouth and said: "This matter is the will left by the first emperor, and it is not what the emperor wants. The emperor went to Yanfu Palace and explained clearly to the queen mother, the queen mother was most angry for a while, and it would be fine. ”
Mu Tao is not as optimistic as Xiao Guizi.
Xiao Guizi is an internal servant, and he has not gone through the affairs of men and women, and it is inevitable that he does not know the exclusivity of men and women in their feelings.
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed very tricky. Mu Tao sighed in a low voice: "Niangniang has never rubbed a little sand in her eyes." If the queen mother knew the will of the first emperor, she would not know how angry. The mother is seriously injured, but it is not appropriate to be angry. ”
When Xiao Xu heard this, his face also showed bitterness.
Xiao Guizi immediately came up with an idea: "Hide this matter first, and don't let the mother know." When the mother's body is well-raised, it's not too late to say more. The emperor can also delay for a few months and let the four concubines enter the palace. ”
Before Xiao Xu could open his mouth, Mu Tao had already frowned: "It's even more inappropriate to do this! If Niangniang knew that the emperor intended to hide it, she might think that the emperor had the intention of choosing a concubine." Once there is a misunderstanding, the emperor can't explain it clearly. ”
Besides, how long can this kind of thing be hidden?
The important ministers present today can hear it clearly. Among them are Fu Ge Lao and Cui Shangshu. Emperor Yuanyou's will will inevitably reach the ears of these four families soon. Among them, there is the Gu family of Dingbei Houfu.
Gu Wanning knew that it would be sooner or later.
Sure enough, it is only married men who understand the difficulty.
Xiao Guizi's head was big when he heard it, and he couldn't help muttering: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?"
Xiao Xu was silent for a long time before he said, "I told Ah Ning personally." ”
……
Xiao Xu took heavy steps back to Yanfu Palace.
Laughing affectionately with Gu Wanning, it was clear that it was a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, the happiness and tranquility of their husband and wife were brutally torn open by this sudden will.
Standing outside the dormitory, the candlelight from the room softly peeks through the cracks in the door.
Xiao Xu raised his head and put it down again. After repeating this several times, he finally pushed the door open.
Gu Wanning had already fallen asleep. Because of excessive blood loss and lack of blood, his black hair lost its black luster and was softly draped on the pillow.
Linlang and Linglong stood by the bed, and after seeing Xiao Xu's figure, the two maids got up separately and bowed silently.
Xiao Xu nodded slightly, motioning for the two of them to step back.
Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and quietly stared at Gu Wanning's face.
Gu Wanning slept all night, but he didn't sleep all night, and kept sitting on the edge of the bed, just looking at her.
The next morning, when Linlang came in lightly to serve, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Xiao Xu sitting on the edge of the bed in the same posture as last night.
I didn't sleep all night, Xiao Xu's eyes were bloodshot, and a very short stubble appeared on his chin, which made him look particularly depressed.
Linlang didn't want to disturb Gu Wanning by talking, so she had to come forward and ask, "Why didn't the emperor sleep all night?"
opened his mouth, and sure enough, he woke up Gu Wanning.
Gu Guanning opened his eyes and saw the sluggish Xiao Xu, and he was also stunned: "Why haven't you slept all the time?"
Xiao Xu didn't speak, his eyes showing deep pain and guilt.
Gu Wanning's somewhat confused mind instantly sobered up, and his voice sank slightly: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xu glanced at Linlang, who quickly stepped back and closed the door.
Only the husband and wife were left in the dormitory.
Xiao Xu opened his mouth, but closed it again. After thinking about it all night, he still didn't know whether to tell Gu Guanning about it in the most euphemistic tone......
Gu Wanning had already sensed that something was wrong, and his eyes quickly became solemn: "Xiao Xu, no matter what it is, don't hide it from me." If there are any difficulties, we will face them together as a couple. ”
"In this world, is there a hurdle that we can't overcome?"
Xiao Xu's heart throbbed fiercely, and he made up his mind, and quickly opened his mouth to say Emperor Yuanyou's will: "A-Ning, you promise me, no matter what you hear, you can't be angry, you must calm down......"
Then, he unfolded the letter left by Emperor Yuanyou and put it in front of Gu Wanning's eyes.
