Chapter 40: Resignation
The parting was imminent, Gu Tingcheng went to the Gu Mansion to bid farewell to Gu Shilang and Mrs. Gu, and they also learned what happened to Gu Tingcheng, and knew that she would be promised to be married to the stupid prince of King Anqing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My poor daughter." Mrs. Gu took her hand and said with a sad face, "Then King Anqing was not a good match when he was not crazy, I heard that there are groups of concubines in his house, and people are romantic, and now he is crazy, although there is no such mess, but he is crazy, and he is not sober, how can you marry your daughter." ”
Mrs. Gu burst into tears when she said, although Gu Tingcheng was only an adopted daughter, she really loved her and treated her as her own daughter, but this time King Anqing insisted on choosing her as the princess, and the regent couldn't stop her, let alone their eunuchs, so she could only watch Gu Tingcheng being sent over.
"Hey, I said madam, don't mention this matter, the more you mention it, the more annoying it becomes." Gu Shilang sighed and said, "Allure went to the territory of King Anqing, remember to take good care of yourself, there is no Liangdu there, there is a regent, we will support you, and if you go there, no one will take care of you." ”
Gu Shilang's words clearly reached Gu Qingcheng's ears, there was not much fear on her face, but her crystal eyes showed a little reluctance, she said: "Please rest assured that my adoptive father and adoptive mother will take good care of myself, don't read it, my daughter is about to go away, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see you again in the future." ”
In ancient times, the transportation was not developed, so with the carriage and boat, a little trip to the far door, it would take ten days and half a month to come back, she had long heard that the territory of the king of Anqing was far away from Liangdu, and it was difficult to come back this time.
"Little sister."
She raised her head and saw Gu Chenxi hurrying from the library pavilion, it was rare for Gu Chenxi to take the initiative to leave the library pavilion, he must have come to say goodbye to her.
"Allure, thank you big brother for taking care of me during this time." Gu Tingcheng saluted him, "In the future, the adoptive father and adoptive mother can only rely on the eldest brother to take care of more." ”
Gu Chenxi, who had few expressions on weekdays, also showed a worried look on his face, and he said angrily: "King Anqing's move is not the work of a gentleman, and a gentleman will not take the favor of others, but he is not only forbearing, but also uniting several major vassal kings to oppress the young Majesty." ”
Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly and said: "Then King Anqing is just a crazy person now, why should the eldest brother bother with him anymore, as far as I know, it is not because he wants to be like this, but because of the people around him, what can he do as a madman?" ”
Gu Chenxi frowned, took Gu Qingcheng aside and said, "Allure, do you believe that he is really crazy?" ”
Gu Tingcheng heard the meaning of his words, frowned and said: "I don't believe it, as for whether he is really crazy, it will naturally be clear later." ”
"In the future, I will go to King Anqing's side, pay more attention to him, I have heard that this person is not good, don't let him bully you, even if you are a real madman, you must protect yourself." Gu Chenxi gritted his teeth and said, "In case of something that is not good for you, you can leave the city, the farther away the better, don't think about the identity of the princess and Long Yuting, and leave all this right and wrong." ”
"Big brother, I'll keep going." Gu Qingcheng's dark eyes became dark at that moment, and she said slowly, "I want to help the prince keep an eye on King Anqing's movements, since I promised the prince, I will do it." ”
"Allure." Gu Chenxi suddenly shouted, his tone was worried, "Why are you so confused, that's what you should do, don't get involved, the contradiction between the royal family and the vassal king has been backlogged for many years, and if you don't get it, you will be crushed." ”
Her expression was still light, as if she didn't take the danger to heart, she continued: "Big brother, I am the best person to monitor King Anqing, I will be his princess in the future, I can keep an eye on his movements every day, I will definitely not disappoint the prince, even if I take my life because of this, it is worth it." ”
Gu Chenxi looked at her firm gaze and knew that there was no possibility of admonishment, but as her eldest brother, even if it was just the name of a big brother, how could he bear to let her do this kind of thing, she was somewhat similar to Long Yuting, both of them were difficult to change once they decided, thinking about his own suppression of the imperial court by the power of the vassal king, and their families were also hit to varying degrees, so he would rather avoid the library for several years than have any entanglement with them.
"Big brother."
Her call made Gu Chenxi come back to his senses, Gu Qingcheng met his eyes and said: "Big brother, you and Princess Roujia will get along well in the future, she is a good girl, and she is sincere to you, I can't get together with the regent, but I really hope that you and the princess can be together." ”
"Allure, fate is still up to the sky, naturally it is reluctant to come."
Gu Chenxi's expression became indifferent, so that she couldn't see what he really thought about the princess, the eldest brother has always been an indifferent person, and rarely kept other people in his heart, she suddenly remembered another thing, turned her face to him and asked, "Big brother, can I ask you something?" ”
"What?"
In front of Gu Chenxi, Gu Qingcheng didn't care so much, and he had already regarded him as his eldest brother in his heart, so he said together: "Why do I feel that Mr. Mu has been targeting me, as if he is dissatisfied with me, but I am not familiar with him, and I have not done anything against him, and his approach makes me very puzzled." ”
When it comes to Mu Yun, Gu Chenxi is naturally familiar with each other, and he has some friendship with him before, so he said with a restrained look: "This is a long story, Mu Yun used to be a Taifu, and he was originally in a high position, because he was a popular person next to the emperor, standing on His Majesty's side, he offended the vassal kings a lot, and was later plotted by the vassal kings." ”
"He's being plotted?" Gu Tingcheng heard this, and there was more doubt in his heart, could it be that the owner of this body had colluded with the vassal kings before, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no such memory.
Gu Chenxi shook his head and said: "It can be regarded as his bad fate, he is in love with a woman in the Qinglou, the woman's name is Ling Huasheng, who is as beautiful as a flower, but that woman betrayed him, while he was asleep, he took out a letter with the Qiang people, stamped his handprint, and she sent this letter to the vassal king. ”
Gu Tingcheng listened to Gu Chenxi's remarks, although so many years have passed, but what happened back then is really unfolding in front of her eyes, and the relationship between the court and the vassal king is only afraid that it will be more turbulent, for this reason she feels sorry for Long Yuting, how difficult it is for him to support the current situation, and it is no wonder that Mu Yun has an inexplicable hatred for her, because her appearance makes him hate Wu and Wu.
