177 Assassination

On this year's Gold Festival, in order to sweep away the tense atmosphere of public opinion, Shenzong specially aimed to hold a banquet in Chongxi Palace, which was organized by Princess Anyi, who will marry at the end of next year, so that the queen could have a good rest.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Ci was dressed in the court dress of the red queen, sat upright with Yuan Yi, and watched with a smile as his daughter entertained his wife Zhang Luo's trivial matters, and was honored. The only small problem is that the seat is a little far away from the emperor, and there is a pot of rich peonies in the middle. When she saw the dignified-looking quasi-concubine Ma Lei Zhenhui, she would peek at her beautiful and bright daughter from time to time, and it was inconvenient to whisper to her husband, so she had to scratch his palm and let her father take a look.

Alas, when my daughter is older and has a sweetheart, maybe she will soon become a grandmother......

Yuan Yi held her jade hand and smiled silently, Qiang Qiang and Empress Dowager Xiao are like ninety percent, choosing a man is based on practicality, and affection is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't hurt to have no feelings. There is only one similarity with her mother, she is open-minded, and she has learned to be gentle and lovely, but unfortunately she is just showing weakness and begging for mercy on the surface, and she does not give in inside. Even if the horse family has a big opinion, her daughter can be crushed with her strength, but fortunately, Lei Zhen is generous and upright, and has a soft spot for her daughter, and the family behind her relies on her to save her life, and she will never dare to let her have a bad life in the future.

At the end of the joyful banquet, the emperor was sent off from the table, and Gu Ci should have retreated from the left hand side, and the ghost made a god cross the small table with peony flowers in the middle and follow Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi smiled back and took her hand.

Suddenly, Gu Ci seemed to hear some noise, and before she could tell what the metal was striking, she saw a figure on the edge of the crowd kneeling down and stood up. She threw herself into Yuan Yi's arms completely unconsciously, and she heard a gunshot, and her left arm was in sharp pain, and she completely fainted.

***********************

"Brother, brother...... You okay? His throat was as dry and hoarse as a broken gong, and it was not easy for Gu Ci to open his glued eyelids. This time, she didn't have the 'Heart Protector Armor' that she picked up casually, and she didn't know that she had been in a coma for seven days.

The handsome husband described himself as tired, with a stubble all over his face, dark and blue circles under his eyes, his excited eyes flashing, his lips trembling and unable to speak, holding her right hand and kissing hard.

"Do you feel uncomfortable now?" Yiqing asked her in a hoarse voice, and his appearance was not much better.

Gu Ci smiled, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry...... gently rubbing Yuan Yi's chapped lips, "Brother, can you eat something with me?" ”

Yiqing gave her a pulse and fed her a bowl of porridge, "Pad it first, drink the medicine and then eat." ”

After feeding the medicine, Gu Ci let Yiqing, who was obviously tired, go down to rest, didn't care about the severely painful arm, and hugged her husband who was lying in her arms silently comforting, "Don't worry." ”

“…… Silly girl. ”

Although Yiqing and Xiao Lu both said that it was good for the wound to let her fall asleep, otherwise she would be so painful that she couldn't sleep, but Yuan Yi saw that she was frowning in pain, and she couldn't wake up in a cold sweat. Now that I saw with my own eyes that she could talk and eat, when my mind was relaxed, I was half kneeling and half leaning in front of her bed in a daze.

Gu Ci gently stroked the back of his ears and neck, feeling that there was some dampness and heat on the placket, and he was so moved that his heart hurt even more, so he quickly asked someone to move him to the bed, although the position next to her was not wide, it was better than this position!

When the two woke up again, Yuan Yi held the lost treasure and refused to let go, and even had to go to the clean room himself, and had no intention of going out to the court director at all. Gu Ci also felt that he couldn't do without him, and after he sobered up, the feeling of fear slowly emerged. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that she would never see this man who treated her like a jewel again. If she did it again, she would not hesitate to stand in front of him.

The two looked at each other, as if they were separated from each other, cherishing this moment when the years were quiet, and it was not until the afternoon that they remembered to ask the children and their parents to visit the palace.

Several children seemed to have grown up overnight, and their eyes were red around her. Qiang Qiang blamed himself for not doing things well, and without waiting for his mother to open his mouth to comfort him, he killed in an instant and decisively said that he would never make such a mistake again next time, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go. Ah Sang is not only more stable than before, Ah Shuang's arrogance is also gone, Ah Sui, who is crying, has not even gone to school these days, and squats behind Yuan Yi every day as a little tail. Yu Yi was still afraid that his little candle would be used by his son-in-law to get angry, so he used a small milk dog to seduce him to live with Gu Yi for a while, and promised that after he came back, Gu Ci would be cured. Now I saw that my mother really woke up, threw herself into her arms and cried miserably, which provoked Gu Ci to cry.

Finally coaxed the little one away, Yuyi and Gu Yao took their three sons to see their daughter, and then Lord Taiwei pulled the emperor to mutter for a long time, and finally asked Shenzong to agree to return to the court in three days. However, the first time people went to the court, they showed a completely different side from the previous 'cautious knighthood and benevolent nature'.

The first thing is to send an edict at the beginning of this year's lunar month, and then seal the heroes. Wang Zheng, who took the curvature research as the direction, greatly improved the process accuracy, made the standardized production of the plough machine a reality, and was awarded the title of Wen Changbo, Agdi as the Marquis of Xiuning, Qu Gyaltsen as the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and Tatahar, the head of the Wuer tribe who guarded the plough, was awarded the title of Wulingbo. In addition to the real title, all those who have meritorious service in the army are given a certain proportion of shares in the Chinese industry, and the annual income and dividends are very considerable.

There is a reward and a punishment, Cheng Fu Yin was not effective in supervision, and was demoted to the prefect of Tianjin Port, and his son-in-law Meng Fu Cheng was meritorious in arresting anti-thieves and took over the post of Jingzhao Mansion Yin. Regardless of whether the people below noticed that the Cheng family of the hardcore queen party was really degraded and secretly promoted, Shenzong continued to announce with a cold smile that Jinyi Wei Dai Zuo led the escort this time and was promoted to Qu Yongbo.

This is the first time that the people of Jinyiwei have stepped into the government and the opposition in a grand manner, and they have a serious background.

As for the clan, except for King Xichuan, the four eldest princesses of Anyang, Pingyang, Nanyang, and Huayang, all the degraded brothers and sisters and untitled clan relatives have all changed their surnames to 'Yuan', and the heirs are no longer included in the royal genealogy at all, no different from the common people. If someone can make meritorious achievements in the self-examination like Yuan Xian (Yuan Xin), he will be rewarded for meritorious deeds like ordinary people. Shenzong also generously gave up his imperial tomb and built a high-walled compound to imprison the people involved and their families. As for their original mansions and farmland, they were all confiscated, and the servants were subordinated, and if there was a problem, they were to be beheaded, and they were exiled. What outsiders don't know is that two of the three former princes who have lived in the imperial tomb for a long time were already alive and dead on the first day of Shenzong's accession to the throne. Yuan Zhong's third vertebra has been broken, except for the ability to move his eyes, he is no different from a dead man, Yuan En has several needles in his neck, half of his body is incontinent, similar to the mentally handicapped, and the imperial doctor diagnosed both of them as strokes. Yuan Si, on the contrary, is still a complete normal person because of his leg disease, and with Yuan rising to prominence, he is the best one. Yuan Hui and Yuan Nian were involved in the assassination of the queen, because the emperor had not yet been arraigned, and they were thrown in together to 'raise'. Yuan Hui lived in a courtyard alone, and the palace sent an internal servant to serve, and he was filled with thick oil and meat every day, and he gained a lot of fat in just ten days. Yuan Nian lived with his wife and concubine, but eating and drinking and incense in the house were all helpful things, and he couldn't get out of bed when he saw the sky holding a woman.

Lao Tzu has always listened to his daughter-in-law's words and doesn't care about you, but you are dissatisfied and dare to hurt her?! Then taste the taste of life is better than death!

***********************

Taking advantage of her husband's arrival in the court, Gu Ci hurriedly comforted another child who was deeply remorseful, took a sip of the medicinal juice, endured the pain of just changing the medicine, and pulled Yiqing's sleeve with his right hand.

“…… It's all my fault, I shouldn't be busy with other things......" The man sat on his pedal, leaning on the head of the bed, tearfully looking at her lying at eye level, "I should remember that day, it was you ......"

It turned out that Gu Ci in his previous life only lived for thirty-six years, and if he knew the reason, he would be persuaded easily.

"If you want to take care of me, you should go ahead of me." Gu Ci began to fool him with a lotus tongue, for fear that this smart and powerful cheap laborer would return to the second line as a nanny, and there was already a Ming Court that would be famous through the ages, and more outstanding Yiqing should also get the opportunity to go down in history, "Ah Qing, you are not my vassal, you are now my brother." ”

Because of you, I can live one more life; Because of me, so many things have changed, how can I leave you alone?

She had a vague feeling of indescribability, and every injury seemed to mean that she had succeeded in changing something. The wound is actually not strict, most of them are skin trauma, the gun is a sample, the bullet is a backyard, and the lethality is not strong, but I don't know why I was knocked unconscious by the explosion at that time. If this assassination is the price to change history, then she is willing to bear it; As long as her loved ones and children benefit from these changes, this setback is negligible.

After looking at each other for a long time, Gu Ci stretched out his hand to hook Yiqing's neck, bit his ear and said a few words, before he regained his joy with tears and smiles. The little fingers of the two pulled the hook, and the calming herbs worked, and Gu Ci fell into a deep sleep.

***********************

At the end of October, the crown prince, who had traveled a large circle of the Western Ocean, returned with honors, and was about to enter the Dayu Sea through Guò Longmen City, when he heard the news of the queen's assassination, he was furious and ordered to advance at full speed, and must arrive at the ice-free port of Fengjin City within half a month, and return to Beijing by land on horseback. The twins were allowed to go to Fengjin City to pick up people, and the three princes and the large army hurried together to return to the palace on the day of Laba, and the prince rushed to Kunning Palace to find his mother as soon as possible.

Gu Ci and his eldest son talked about the situation in Europe, and after being served, they drank the medicine and lay down to rest. Although she is okay now, she has been raised white and red, from Yuan Yi and Yiqing to her parents, masters, and children, they all agree that she has to lie down for 100 days before she can get out of bed.

Ah Sheng went out to wipe his tears, went to return to his father, the father and son talked secretly for a long time behind closed doors, and then the prince took his two younger brothers to sleep together in the East Palace, and talked all night.

Between the government and the opposition, with the return of the crown prince, he gradually calmed down, and together with the captured family, waited for the holy judgment of the spring of the next year.
