At this time, Gu Xinian, of course, had already learned the latest news from the palace. Thinking of the sad situation of the third prince at this time, Gu Xinian smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Zhang, you finally have such a day!

For you who are proud, losing your Sacred Heart and losing your throne from now on is more painful for you than taking your life! I hope you will slowly savor this pain for a long time to come

A pair of slender arms wrapped around him from behind him, and whispered softly, "You have finally avenged your great revenge." ”

Gu Xinian raised the corners of his lips, mumbled, then turned around and tightly took Ye Qinglan into his arms: "From the moment I woke up, I was looking forward to this day." ”

No one knows how much he paid for this day. For nine years, the unforgettable hatred of the destruction of the family was pressed in the deepest part of my heart. He was desperately suppressed, and even his parents couldn't reveal half a word. and pretend to be casual and false with the enemy. Exhaustive calculations against each other

The sky paid off, and he finally succeeded!

Ye Qinglan leaned quietly in his arms, her head on his chest. He has never been a talkative person, and he is more accustomed to hiding his feelings, even at such times, he has not lost his temper. But the chaotic heartbeat betrayed his mood at the moment.

After hugging each other silently for a long time, Gu Xinian's mood finally calmed down.

Ye Qinglan raised her head and said with a gentle smile: "The third prince probably doesn't know how he lost until now!" ”

Gu Xinian did not underestimate the third prince because of this: "When the anger calms down, he will definitely figure it out." "However, even if you try to figure it out, it won't help. The Sacred Heart has been decided, and the matter of the three princes has become a definite fact. What awaits him is the fate of leaving the capital and going to spend the rest of his life.

No matter how benevolent the crown prince is, he will never give the third prince a chance to return to the capital.

Ye Qinglan thought for a while and asked, "You said before that the emperor died after being seriously ill for about half a year. Then the third prince succeeded to the throne and became the new emperor. I wonder if this will be the case in this life? ”

She doesn't have any good feelings or bad feelings towards the emperor, but judging from the current situation, it is still the crown prince who can be relieved to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Gu Xinian smiled faintly indifferently: "If my guess is correct." The previous emperor died within half a year, and the 'credit' of the three princes and Zheng Guifei is absolutely indispensable. What will happen in this life, it is difficult to say. Leave these things aside for now. It was already a matter of time before the crown prince ascended the throne, and it didn't matter if he waited a few more years. ”

The husband and wife were whispering when there was a knock on the door. Quan Fu's voice sounded outside the door: "Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

Gu Xinian seemed to have expected the prince to come. Not surprised at all, he raised his eyebrows and responded: "Please go to the study and sit for a while, Your Highness will come right away." ”

Ye Qinglan also showed a knowing smile, the three princes were about it, and the happiest person was except Gu Xinian. It has to be the crown prince. couldn't bear it even for one night, so he hurriedly came to Gu Xinian to discuss the next countermeasures

Gu Xinian quickly went to the study.

The prince was pacing back and forth in the study when he saw Gu Xinian come in. He strode forward happily and said excitedly, "Cousin, our plan has succeeded!" The father is finally dissatisfied with the third emperor brother, and he wants to give him a fan! ”

Gu Xinian also showed a happy smile at the right time: "Thanks to my cousin's calm breath and good acting skills, otherwise this plan would not have been so smooth!" "That's true. All kinds of rumors that are unfavorable to the prince are spreading, and it is absolutely uncomfortable to be used as a conversation after dinner. The prince endured it for several months. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Those who achieve great things have endurance and resilience that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. The crown prince's talent may be mediocre, but at this point. But it is in no way inferior to the three princes!

The sullen breath that the prince had been holding back for months was swept away, and he laughed loudly: "If you really talk about it, it is thanks to you for setting up such a brilliant plan!" "This is not a new plan. The magic lies in the contemplation and grasp of the Sacred Heart.

Gu Xinian refused to take credit, but smiled: "I just came up with an idea, and the person who really implemented it is my cousin." ”

The prince patted Gu Xinian's shoulder in a very good mood: "Okay." Don't be polite here, either of us. In short, the ending of this incident was very happy. This is more important than anything else. ”

"We can't rejoice too soon." Gu Xinian reminded: "The emperor's decree has not been issued yet, and I don't know where the emperor plans to give the third prince to be the vassal king" In case the emperor is soft-hearted, the land he rewards is too rich and too close to the capital, which is not a good thing. With the ambition of the three princes, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future. The best thing is to banish the three princes to a remote and desolate place. Even if he wants to make waves in the future, it will not be possible!

The prince was reminded by this, and his mind cleared up a lot, and he thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed not a trivial matter. However, it is not appropriate for me to intervene. I'll have someone play tomorrow. ”

Nowadays, there are really a lot of ministers who are attached to the crown prince, and it is not difficult to choose two of them with a clear name to ask the emperor to give him land.

Next, the two discussed the selection for a while.

After finishing the business, the prince was silent for a moment, looked at Gu Xinian and said slowly: "Cousin, the bastard thing I did before hurt the relationship between us. It's all my fault! You can put aside your past suspicions and help me wholeheartedly. This affection, I, Zhao Xuan, will never forget it. I promise you, as long as I ascend the throne, I will ensure that you will be a supreme minister of glory and wealth! ”

Gu Xinian knew the prince too well and was too familiar, so he could naturally hear the sincerity in his words, and his heart was filled with subtle and difficult to hide.

In his previous life, he hated this man who robbed Shen Qiuyu so much. In order to deal with the prince, he even did not hesitate to seek skin with the tiger and did so many rebellious things. In this life, in order to take revenge, he forced himself to reconcile with the prince, and devoted himself to the prince's planning. It can be said that most of the prince's ability to have today's situation is due to him.

He can pretend that he has forgotten the past, and he can pretend that he and the prince are still a pair of good brothers who have a great friendship. But deep down, he never really let go. Even if he will never be moved by Shen Qiuyu again, he can't forget the shame of being betrayed and hurt by his good brother.

He and the crown prince can never be as close as they used to be! The prince must be very clear about this in his heart. It's just that neither of them has ever broken through this layer!

I didn't expect that the prince would suddenly say such a thing today

Gu Xinian was silent for a moment before he replied lightly: "I don't care about the glory and wealth of the extremely powerful ministers." I only hope that you can promise me that you can keep everyone safe in this life. ”

The prince nodded without hesitation. sighed secretly in his heart, Gu Xinian avoided answering what he said just now, obviously having a grudge against the past.

Yes, why does he ask people who have been deeply hurt by him to still regard him as his best brother?

With such a shrewd and loyal subordinate, he should be content, and he really shouldn't expect more

Gu Xinian looked at the trace of embarrassment in the prince's eyes, and his heart was not moved. But that's what he did. Being able to get along with the prince so far is already the extreme, and it is impossible to completely restore the love of the past!

The next day, several heavyweight ministers went to the concert together, and asked the emperor to give Gansu or Shanxi and other places to the three princes to make land. These few twists and turns were handed to the sick emperor.

After the emperor watched the recital, he sat on the dragon collapse and was silent for a long time, his expression calm.

Gansu, Shanxi and other places are all bitter cold places in the northwest. Far away from the capital, the people are poor. If you enjoy such a place, the life of the three princes will definitely not be easy. Although he wanted the three princes to leave the capital, he never thought of making the three princes suffer such hardships. According to his original idea, he wanted to choose a wealthy place close to the capital.

Although the above words are very subtle and euphemistic, they are not unreasonable. If such a place is really chosen, with the human temperament of the three princes, it is also possible to have different intentions and make waves in the future. For the stability of the imperial court, the geography should be farther away.

However, as a father, how can he bear to treat his son like this?

Even if it is the emperor, he is inevitably in a dilemma. After hesitating for a long time, I still didn't make up my mind

These memorandaries must go through the cabinet before they are presented to the emperor. The contents of the fold soon spread throughout the government and the opposition. Even Empress Gu and Concubine Zheng in the harem received the news.

Concubine Zheng's face turned pale little by little, and her hands clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Her Zhang'er is about to be forced out of the capital, why do these people still refuse to let him go? Those places in Shanxi in Gansu are all remote and barren places, thousands of miles away from the capital. If you go to those places and become a vassal king, you will undoubtedly be exiled, and it will not be easy to return to the capital in the future

No, she couldn't just watch it happen!

Concubine Zheng Guifei quickly made up her mind, and she was not even in the mood to change her clothes, so she led a few palace maids out of the palace and went directly to the emperor's bedroom.

The eunuch guarding the door stopped Zheng Guifei with a smiling face: "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor is recuperating in peace, and he has ordered that no one should disturb him." Please also ask the concubine to come back another day."

Come back another day? Just as I was about to wait until another day, it was too late!

Concubine Zheng naturally refused to leave, and even whispered in a rare voice: "Please ask Gonggong Feng to go in and report to the emperor, and say that there is something important in the palace to ask for a meeting." The palace maid on the side had already cleverly leaned over and stuffed the prepared silver ticket into Gonggong Feng's hand.

Father-in-law Feng, who has always been greedy for money, refused to accept it, and only blindly laughed: "Don't embarrass the slave." ”
