"What?" The crown prince couldn't believe his ears: "Father is really angry, and he punished the third emperor brother for grounding?" ”

"It's true!" Gu Xinian, who came to report the news, smiled faintly, and his eyes flashed with inhumane pleasure and self-satisfaction. For this day, he planned for several months. It's finally a success!

The current three princes, I don't know what kind of chagrin they are. Losing a game is nothing, but the hateful thing is that I don't even know who the opponent is and how it is calculated. This is the most unbearable shame for the three princes, who have always regarded themselves very highly and thought they have mastered everything.

He secretly had correspondence with General Shen, and no one knew about it except Shen Chang'an. As for the content of the letter, even Shen Changan didn't know about it. Every time I saw it, it was burned on the spot, leaving no traces. As for what happened on the battlefield, it is even more nowhere to be found. The third prince is staying in the prince's mansion to introspect at the moment, probably even if he wants to break his head, he can't figure out where the business trip is......

"Great! That's great! The prince got up excitedly and walked around the study. It's almost like looking up to the sky and smiling for a long time, and I feel a sulk in my heart.

As the crown prince, he is not as favored as the emperor's younger brother, and he is often overwhelmed. The grievances in the prince's heart do not need to be described in detail. For the crown prince, such news is tantamount to nectar after a long drought! It's no wonder that he was almost out of shape with excitement.

Gu Xinian's heart was indescribably happy, but it was not obvious on his face.

"What the hell is going on?" After the prince was excited, he finally remembered to get to the bottom of the matter: "My father has always been the most partial to the third emperor's younger brother, and recently he has been rewarded one after another because of the border war. Why did he suddenly have such an attack? ”

What happened in the palace, of course, can't be hidden from anyone. What happened in the afternoon. In the evening it spread. It's just that the prince is "self-cultivation" in the mansion, so he didn't receive the news in time.

Gu Xinian quickly narrated the scene that happened in the imperial study.

The prince's complexion changed several times in an instant. When he heard that everyone was writing to abolish the prince, his face was gloomy like a dark cloud. After that, because the emperor angrily reprimanded the ministers, he was very happy. In the end, when he heard the third prince walking out of the imperial study with his head down, he laughed proudly: "What a third emperor brother, in the past, I watched his jokes, and today it is finally a turn of feng shui." ”

The crown prince was excited for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Father is so angry, it shouldn't be just because of everyone's performance!" It must have been the third emperor's brother who secretly did something to make his father unhappy. ”

Gu Xinian nodded in agreement: "What His Highness said makes sense. But. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out what the third prince did to anger the emperor. I wonder what His Highness thought? ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coughed and pretended to be deep: "I don't even know about this matter, so it can be seen that the third emperor brother is very hidden." In the future, we will slowly see the difference. ”

What the third prince did was not the most important thing, the most important thing was to anger his father, and now he is under house arrest in the palace. Looking at this posture, even if the ban is lifted in the future, no one dares to mention the matter of changing the crown prince.

At the thought of this, the prince was very comfortable.

Gu Xinian pressed his temperament. Listening to the prince's endless expression of his feelings, he drank a few glasses of wine with the prince, and finally was able to get out and return home.

As soon as he arrived at the gatehouse, the little man guarding the door said with a smile: "The prince is finally back." Grandpa Guo ordered, as long as Gongye comes back, please go to Shunyi Hall. ”

Gu Xinian snorted and raised his feet and went to Shunyi Hall. Gu Xiu and Gu Hong are there. Even the brothers Gu Yongnian and Gu Shengnian were present. They didn't know what they were talking about, as soon as Gu Xinian came. They all stopped immediately, and they all looked at it.

"Xi Nian. You know what happened in the palace in the afternoon!" Gu Hong's eyes flashed with excitement: "The three princes and their faction were scolded by the emperor this time, which is really happy." ”

The battle for storage positions has become more and more intense, and the factions are clearly divided. As the people of the Dingguo Mansion who are not part of the prince's family, they are naturally iron-clad princelings. Seeing the three princes with a disgraced face, it was even more nourishing than drinking a bowl of perfect tonic soup.

Without waiting for Gu Xinian to speak, Gu Yongnian hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "I heard that the third prince was angrily reprimanded by the emperor, and from today onwards, he will resign from all his duties and introspect in the prince's mansion." ”

Even Gu Shengnian, who was silent and silent, couldn't help but interject and said, "This is really good news. Although the emperor is very strict with the prince on weekdays, he still attaches great importance to the prince in his heart. Otherwise, he would not be furious because everyone wrote a letter asking for the crown prince to be replaced, and he would embarrass the third prince like this. ”

Gu Xinian smiled, but didn't say much. No one knows the inside story better than him, the emperor thundered the three princes, not because he valued the prince much, but because he thought he had seen through the "conspiracy" of the three princes. As the Son of Heaven, he will never tolerate anyone using the safety of the country as a tool for power and profit. So, the three princes are completely tragic!

If the three princes had been more cautious and cautious, and had restrained their ambitions and kept a low profile, there would have been no such day.

Compared with everyone's joy, Dingguo Gong Gu Xiu and Xiàn are calmer. However, judging from the smile in his eyes, he was obviously in a very good mood: "Xi Nian, the prince knows about this!" ”

Gu Xinian nodded with a smile: "I already know, I just came back from the Prince's Mansion." ”

Gu Xiuhe hummed, and then advised: "You often go in and out of the prince's mansion, and you have more opportunities to meet the prince." Remember to remind the prince in private, the more times like this, the more you have to show Xiàn's low-key calmness. Don't be arrogant and proud, so as not to make the emperor unhappy. ”

I'm most afraid that the prince will get carried away and make any inappropriate moves.

"Grandfather, just rest assured." Gu Xinian said with a smile: "This truth, even if no one reminds His Highness, he knows it." Before coming back, His Royal Highness also told me that the emperor had not yet decreed that he should leave the palace, so he simply studied in the palace with peace of mind. As for the side of the third prince, he didn't go over to visit. lest there be a suspicion of falling into the well. ”

From this point of view, the prince's heart is much more generous than that of the third prince.

When the crown prince was punished and grounded, the third prince did not let go of such a good opportunity. Specially visited, called visiting. In fact, everyone knows that it is a joke. The crown prince swallowed his anger and squeezed out a smile to entertain, and after the three princes left, he threw out all the things brought by the three princes. This time it was the turn of the three princes, and the prince also thought about whether to "return the favor". But after calming down and carefully weighing the pros and cons, I finally made the right decision.

When Gu Xiuhe heard this, a pleased smile appeared on his face: "Your Highness is generous and benevolent, which is really a blessing for me." ”

Gu Xinian smiled faintly.

In the previous life, the crown prince was abolished, and after the emperor died of a serious illness, the third prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor. Regardless of the methods of the three princes to govern the government, the insidious and ruthless is shocking. The illustrious Dingguo Mansion ended up with a ruined family under the trumped-up charges woven by the new emperor. In this life, if there is no accident, the prince will sit on that dragon chair. No matter what the means of governing the country are, at least, the stability and glory of the Dingguo Gongfu I are indispensable.

Everyone didn't have anything special to discuss, and after each expressed their feelings, they dispersed.

Ye Qinglan has been waiting for Gu Xinian to come back. As soon as I saw him, I threw myself into his arms with joy.

Hugging her warm and delicate body, Gu Xinian's whole body relaxed.

It wasn't until this moment that he knew how tight his nerves were. Maybe it was because he was too excited about the success of the scheme, or maybe he was worried that revealing it would arouse everyone's suspicions, and on this day, he had to brew in his heart for a long time before saying a word, lest he say a wrong word and arouse everyone's suspicions. It wasn't until he stepped into the cloud xuan that the excitement and tension slowly dissipated, showing a little tiredness.

Ye Qinglan raised her head in his arms, her eyes shining: "Great! Your plan has finally succeeded! ”

Gu Xinian smiled, different from the smile that he concealed during the day, his smile at the moment seemed so bright and relaxed. It seems to glow from the bottom of my heart, and it bursts out with dazzling light in an instant.

Ye Qinglan had long been accustomed to seeing this handsome face, but at this time, she also had the feeling of rapid heartbeat and disordered breathing. I can't help but secretly spurn and despise myself in my heart, I have been married for so long, and I was fascinated by the smile of my father-in-law......

However, after being with him for so long, it was the first time I saw him smile so easily and happily. It seems that he really hates the third prince, so when the first step of revenge is successful, he will be so excited and happy.

"Lan'er, I'm really happy." Gu Xinian concealed his true feelings for a whole day, and revealed it unabashedly in front of Ye Qinglan: "I was calculated so badly by him in my last life, and now I finally let him taste the pain too." However, this is not enough. I want him to watch the crown prince succeed to the throne, and he can only be placed under house arrest in the prince's mansion, slowly tasting the pain of defeat. ”

Speaking of which, Gu Xinian's excitement couldn't be suppressed, and he unconsciously hugged Ye Qinglan tightly.

Ye Qinglan lay on his chest softly, listening to his low and cold oath, and somehow, a trace of inexplicable uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Hatred can easily make a person get carried away and lose his mind, take risks and make dangerous moves. Blindly indulging in revenge, the heart will also become distorted......

No, she doesn't want Gu Xinian to become like that!

Ye Qinglan raised her head and looked at Gu Xinian, and said slowly: "Xinian, you promise me one thing. (To be continued......)
