Volume 1 The Wind and Cloud of the Qiandu Chapter 15 The Doubts of the Palace
In the main study of King Rong's mansion, King Rong Kemo was previously summoned into the palace by Emperor Qian, and he had just returned to the mansion to sit down. After taking the tea brought by the palace servant, his pupils were out of focus, his expression was a little fluctuating, and his hands subconsciously tasted warm tea.
Just now, Emperor Qianhuang summoned several important ministers of the court in the imperial study, including King Rong Kemo, whom he trusted very much. As the only king with a different surname, Ke Mo has accompanied Emperor Qianhuang for many years since he ascended the throne!
He could deduce from the Emperor's every move and expression that the Emperor was in a bad mood!
The Daqian Dynasty has experienced too many years of ups and downs and thousands of years of glory in this world, but no matter how glorious the past is, it will eventually go downhill.
The Qiandu has not been peaceful in recent times! From the assassination of the Qianhuang Emperor to the guardian array, the abnormal movement of the Four Elephants Bagua Array and the eye of thunder punishment descended on the Qiandu!
Is this a clear indication given by heaven to the thousand-year-old dynasty of the Great Qian? Will the Great Qian, after many disasters and hardships and storms for thousands of years, eventually come to an end? Ke Mo shook his head silently and revealed a trace of an intriguing wry smile.
"Master!" the royal housekeeper's respectful voice interrupted Ke Modi's thoughts.
"What?"
Ke Mo frowned, obviously interrupted his thoughts, and took a sip of tea, very displeased.
"Mr. Gu and Miss are chatting in the long pavilion..."The housekeeper of the palace also knew Ke Mo's displeasure, and continued to say clearly: "Fang Cai, the next person passed by and listened, Gu Gongzi seems to be very interested in General Zhennan!"
"Huh, Zhennan General Gu Tiange?" The teacup in Ke Mo's hand paused slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Ke Mo's mind flashed back to five years ago, at midnight in the Qiandu, a monstrous fire broke out in the Zhennan General's Mansion! The light of the fire reflected half of the sky, and half of the Qiandu was awakened by it! By the time the fire eased, the General's Mansion had been reduced to ruins, and there was no one alive in the Zhennan General's Mansion!
On the second day, Emperor Qianhuang was furious! He ordered a strict investigation into the matter, but in the end, for unknown reasons, it was not done. It can be described as a loud thunder, a small raindrop, and a hasty end!
Ke Mo thought about this, and then waved his hand to the palace housekeeper and ordered: "You go and invite Gu Fan to the study and come to see me!"
"No!" the butler bowed and slowly stepped back.
Inside the long pavilion in the palace garden.
Ke Yixue added a cup of warm tea for Gu Fan, pushed it in front of him, and said softly: "Do you know why Daddy will keep you in the palace for a few days!"
Gu Fan already had some guesses in his heart that King Rong Kemo would stay in the palace for a few days! Probably because the poems he "plagiarized" were still good, he probably felt sorry for his talents.
Secondly, King Rong is also out of love for Gu Fan, a scholar has no power and power, and he is involved in the game between the two princes and the prince, no matter how you look at it, the end will not be much better!
But Gu Fan pretended not to know, and shook his head lightly at Ke Yixue.
"I don't know"
Ke Yixue was very satisfied with Gu Fan's puzzled appearance, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said proudly: "Of course, I ask my father to keep you and exchange poetry for a few days!"
Gu Fan unexpectedly showed a wry smile, sure enough, there is this reason! It seems that King Rong is very fond of his only daughter!
Ke Yixue saw the wry smile between the corners of Gu Fan's mouth, and suddenly became unhappy, and said a little angrily.
"What? I left you in the palace, you are so unhappy! At first, I just felt that you were a little guilty because of me involved in the game between the two princes! I want to help you, keep you in the palace, and avoid the limelight!"
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little surprised!" Gu Fan saw that Ke Yixue was a little angry, and quickly explained.
At this time, the palace housekeeper suddenly ran out of the inner courtyard and said to Gu Fan panting.
"Huh, huh, Mr. Gu, the prince invites you to the study!"
Gu Fan got up a little helplessly, and bowed to Ke Yixue and said goodbye: "The prince called me over, I will retire first!"
Without waiting for Ke Yixue to agree, he hurriedly left the long pavilion with the palace housekeeper, and the angry Ke Yixue stomped his feet again and again!
"Gu Fan, you wait"
After Gu Fan left the garden pavilion, he followed the palace housekeeper to the door of the palace study, the housekeeper did not step into the study, he knocked on the door and said loudly. "Lord Wang, Mr. Gu has arrived!"
Gu Fan walked into the study alone, and what caught his eye was Rongwang Kemo sitting behind the desk, quietly flipping through the books, quietly thinking about something, indifferent to Gu Fan's arrival, like air.
Gu Fan saw that Ke Mo didn't pay attention to him, so he stood aside and waited quietly for Ke Mo to finish reading the book in his hand. He kept thinking in his heart that King Rong had called him here, and what did he want to say to him?
It is estimated that when I let myself exchange poems with Ke Yixue, I must draw a clear line and recognize my identity, and don't have the idea of climbing the phoenix branch with a grass chicken!
After half a ring, Rong Wang Ke Mo slowly got up, and his eyes caught Gu Fan, who had been looking at him. Gu Fan and Ke Mo's eyes collided, and between the two of them, Gu Fan felt the scrutiny and coercion in Ke Mo's eyes.
Ke Mo's unhurried voice sounded softly in the study. "Cher admires you very much!"
When Gu Fan heard this, his heart jumped! Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that it was Lao Jianghu! Directly singled out the key relationship between him and Ke Yixue, and estimated that the next sentence was to start warning himself.
"In the next scholar, it's the county lord who loves him too much!" Gu Fan said euphemistically.
But Ke Mo's next sentence was beyond Gu Fan's expectations! I saw him continue to speak in an unhurried tone, and said: "If you are not yet married, choose a good day and an auspicious day to marry Xue'er! I can see that she likes you very much." ”
"This!" When Gu Fan heard this, he looked confused, thinking to himself that this was not the prejudice of the family! How could a commoner marry the only daughter of King Rong, the big celebrity around Emperor Qian, in the Qiandu! This is not scientific!
Ke Mo's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through Gu Fan's heart, and he directly pointed out the way.
"I know, why do you think this is the case! Although I am a king with a different surname and have been in power in the Qiandu for a while, I am also a father in the final analysis! I don't want my daughter to become a dirty political bargaining chip and a victim of power exchange, and marrying is a lifelong affair for her!"
Ke Mo's words surprised Gu Fan, but he felt that it was reasonable! Why did Gu Fan feel like this, because in modern times, it is rare and precious to encourage children to pursue love without a proper view! Not to mention that in this world of strict hierarchies, it is tantamount to creating a precedent!
Gu Fan was shocked by Ke Mo's words, and said a little incoherently: "But, Lord Wang! I have just met the county lord and have not understood each other!
"Emotional matters, you can cultivate slowly," Ke Mo said, giving Gu Fan a meaningful look, as if saying raw rice cooked rice! Get on the bus first, then buy a ticket!
Gu Fan didn't expect that King Rong would marry his daughter like someone she liked, so casually!
At this time, the palace housekeeper hurriedly ran over and whispered something in Ke Mo's ear. Then, Gu Fan was sent out of the study, and Ke Mo said to Gu Fan, "I still have important guests to meet, you go down and think about it first!"
Just as Gu Fan was about to step out of the study, Ke Mo's slightly warning voice sounded behind him: "Also! Anything in the case of the Zhennan General's Mansion is not something you can understand! Don't try to know anything!"
Gu Fan stepped out of the threshold of the study, but he did not respond to King Rong.
After watching Gu Fan go out, Ke Mo muttered in a voice he could hear: "I hope you can understand, I don't want you to suddenly disappear when you arrive, then Xue'er will be very sad!"
When Gu Fan just walked out of the study and strolled through a long corridor, he found that he was walking on the front foot, and the butler of the palace with a mysterious man in black stepped into King Rong's study!
When the man in black and Gu Fan walked by, Gu Fan glanced lightly and was suddenly stunned! He was so shocked that he poked in place like half a piece of wood!
This man's face is actually the face of the public! This is not exactly the same as the public man he met in the palace before! But isn't this man with a public face the man in the evil ghost mask? Isn't he dissipated in the thunderstorm? Why did he appear in the palace of King Rong?
All kinds of questions came to Gu Fan's mind! They lingered for a long time! This made Gu Fan very curious about the secret conversation between King Rong and this person in the study, like a cat scratching his heart! Holding back his curiosity, Gu Fan turned around and left.
The questions in his heart became more and more! As if surrounded by the whole deep, dark fog, there was an invisible giant hand beside him, controlling the people or things beside him.
The resurrection of the black-clothed demon masked man? King Rong seems to have an inextricable relationship with the evil ghost masked man! How did King Rong know that he was looking for the case of the Zhennan General's Mansion? Listening to his tone, it was like the case of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and the water was extremely deep! No outsiders should get involved in it!
