Chapter 558: Iron Rooster Plucking
The next day, the sun was already high in the sky, and Bai Ruoguan was still lying on the bed.
Bingyue and Jiang Ruanyan had taken turns urging her several times, but this guy just didn't want to get up.
"If you don't get up again, our bed will be exposed."
It was also when he heard this threat that Bai Ruoguan barely supported his body.
"No way, I think the bed tossed and turned last night, and I haven't fallen asleep for a long time."
"Come on, you slept in a better bed last night than any of us, okay? I almost snored. ”
Jiang softly quipped.
If it weren't for the fact that she was taken out by Gu Shenyuan last night and sneaked back in the middle of the night, she would never have thought that this Bai Ruoguan slept so unruly.
Originally, she was afraid that her sisters would find out that she had sneaked out, but she was completely worried.
Bingyue is completely in a state of rest, and Bai Ruoguan can hear her slight snoring when she leans on the pillow, which is still called not sleeping well?
"No, you must have heard it wrong." Bai Ruoguan quibbled while rubbing his eyes and got out of bed.
Because he was locked in prison and couldn't do anything, today can be said to be the last time that the people of Jishitang got up.
But it was the earliest time Xia Zhiyi got up.
As soon as the sun showed his face, Gu Gangqian went to the garden for a walk, and when he returned to his house, he was about to study ink and compose poems, when he heard a commotion outside.
After a while, Xia Zhiyi grinned slowly, walked in, and followed by a group of palace people.
They dissuaded them along the way, but they didn't dare to do anything to Xia Zhiyi, so they couldn't stop it at all.
Seeing this battle, Gu Gangqian didn't blame them, and sent them all down with a wave of his hand.
Looking at Xia Zhiyi's angry face, Gu Gangqian was surprisingly not angry, and stepped forward to pour her a cup of tea, "Why, seeing that I can't even salute now?" ”
Xia Zhiyi held back his anger, "I've seen His Highness." ”
After a reluctant salute, she spoke again, "Your Highness, what do you mean?" ”
"What am I going to do?" Gu Gangqian asked lightly, he knew it very well in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Don't pretend to be stupid for me here, I did everything according to what you said, broke into the palace of Shen Yuan directly in the middle of the night, ruined my reputation, just to help you drag him into the water, but what about you?"
Xia Zhiyi's whole body was about to explode, and his breath was almost uneven.
"It's just that what you say doesn't count, and now you actually make an appointment with Gu Shenyuan and let him not return to the capital in the future, so isn't it obvious that you are going to break us up?"
Xia Zhiyi's voice was obviously crying.
Gu Gangqian felt more and more funny, "Break you up, have you ever been together?" ”
This question is undoubtedly pouring salt into Xia Zhiyi's wounds.
"What do you mean?" If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him had a royal status, Xia Zhiyi would have wanted to do it.
"Literally." Gu Gangqian's answer was very bland.
This made Xia Zhiyi feel that he was very proud, and he was used like a fool, and he didn't know it.
Seeing that Xia Zhiyi was really angry, Gu Gangqian opened his mouth to explain.
"Okay, don't put on this stinky face, can't you really see that I'm helping you?"
"Help me?" Xia Zhiyi couldn't figure it out.
Gu Gangqian and Gu Shenyuan agreed to let Gu Shenyuan withdraw and give up competing with him for the throne, which she could understand.
Anyway, she didn't have to be a queen, all she wanted was to be with Gu Shenyuan, so she didn't feel that she had a loss at this point.
But Gu Gangqian agreed to help Gu Shenyuan sneak out of the prince's mansion, and asked him to find Jiang Ruanyan, isn't this just to rekindle the old relationship between the two?
They managed to create a rumor. Isn't it useless?
And after that, Gu Shenyuan was not allowed to return to the capital.
If Gu Shenyuan was forced to die, and asked for Jiang Softyan to be released in front of the emperor, and the two of them would be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks and flee far away, wouldn't she never get Gu Shenyuan?
Don't even say that you can get it then, I'm afraid she won't even be able to see her when the time comes.
Gu Gangqian's agreement looked like he was helping her.
"I know you must be thinking now, I promised to help Gu Shenyuan let him meet Jiang Ruanyan, the two of them will definitely resurrect, and then find a suitable time to sneak out of the capital."
Gu Gangqian knew what was going on in her head.
"Then with the facilitation of my agreement, the two of them will wander the world, and you will be left alone in the capital and die alone, right?"
In Xia Zhiyi's mind, she didn't imagine herself so miserable, but Gu Gangqian's description seemed to be her final ending when she was alone.
Xia Zhiyi was furious, "So you're admitting it?" ”
"Don't worry, you calm down and think about it, if he really rescues Jiang Ruanyan later, then can he still get the throne?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Xia Zhiyi didn't want to think about such a question at all.
She didn't care about the throne at all, as long as she could be with Gu Shenyuan, she could let her eat bran pickles.
"Of course it matters, if he doesn't become the emperor, then it can only be me, if I become the emperor, then don't you have to listen to me?"
Xia Zhiyi seems to understand whether he understands or not.
"I did make an agreement with him now, but that was all before, and when I became the emperor, everything will be different, the agreement is all empty words, only the holy decree is true."
He gently patted Xia Zhiyi's shoulder.
"At that time, Gu Shenyuan will just be an ordinary county king, although we have a brotherly relationship, he will obey me after all, and he will marry whoever I ask him to marry."
Xia Zhiyi understands now.
"Of course, I want to get the throne, not for myself, but for the sake of the family."
Of course. Even in front of Xia Zhiyi, he couldn't show his feet.
"Gu Shenyuan's mind has never been on the government, so I don't worry about handing over the people to him."
Gu Gangqian also told Xia Zhiyi about his difficulties.
"Now the war at the border is the most important thing, I have thought about it, as long as I become the emperor, whoever has the greatest credit on the battlefield, I will reward whom!"
At this time, Xia Zhiyi's head turned quickly, and she immediately understood Gu Gangqian's hint.
"It's just that now, my father is still hesitant, I'm worried that even if the emperor's brother does something out of the ordinary this time, my father will forgive him."
His brows furrowed.
"If my father still insists on passing the throne to him at that time, then it will not be up to me to decide, but he will marry whoever he wants, and no one in the world can control it."
When Xia Zhiyi heard it, it was like the sky had fallen, how could she let such a thing happen?
At this moment, she was anxious to do something for Gu Gangqian, and she was eager to show herself in front of the future king.
Because only by coaxing him to be happy, can he give her and Gu Shenyuan a marriage. At that time, even if Gu Shenyuan is unwilling, he will not be able to.
Gu Gangqian saw that the time was ripe, and pretended to say casually, "It's a pity that I have no one to help me now, and I can't show my talent even if I have no talent, and my father can't see my advantages yet." ”
As soon as Xia Zhiyi saw the opportunity coming, he immediately showed his loyalty to him.
"Your Highness, rest assured, my father will definitely serve His Highness."
This is exactly what Gu Gangqian wants.
"Then don't worry, as long as your Xia family helps me ascend to the throne, I will definitely not treat you badly."
For a while, Xia Zhiyi had a feeling, as if she wanted to be held in her hands, and now as long as she pulled the rope hard, Gu Shenyuan would approach her step by step.
Therefore, she must not let Jiang Soft's words succeed.
The imprisonment of Jiang Ruanyan and others was very sensational, and for a while the people in the capital were panicked, although they frightened the jailers, but Ding Yi and they couldn't come at any time, and they could leave whenever they wanted.
Therefore, since the last time I came to see them, I have only sent someone to bring them some delicious food at the restaurant, and I did not show up again until the third day.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Ding Yi and Ding Er secretly came to the prison door and told them.
Now the city is in chaos, although they frightened the jailers here, but when they heard the news from the palace, it seems that the emperor is very concerned about this matter.
The reason is also very simple, Jiang Ruanyan's special identity, and Gu Shenyuan's special attention.
If this is just a person from the previous dynasty, given that Jiang Ruanyan did not do anything particularly obvious to rebel, the emperor will naturally open his side.
But Gu Shenyuan has always cared about Jiang Ruanyan, which makes the emperor feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, he has always declared to the outside world that he will severely punish Jiang Ruanyan, and I am afraid that he will really use the death penalty if he is in a hurry.
Hearing the news, Jiang Ruanyan only felt that the air around him seemed to be much colder than just now.
"So I'm afraid we have to hurry up about the prison escape, and the only time to find out now is that after seven days, the auction of all the assets of the Heart Yuan Pavilion and Jishitang will be held."
"Auction?" Bai Ruoguan's eyes widened.
"That's right, in fact, we can also see that the emperor really wants to take all your things back to the treasury."
Although Ding Er and his brother are family people, they don't seem to respect their emperor.
"But in view of the fact that you have saved a large number of victims before, the people still have feelings for you in their hearts, and if you directly return it to the treasury, I am afraid it will be too ugly."
Ding Er looked at the people next to him, "The emperor is also afraid that he will not be able to appease the people, so he proposed an auction." ”
Bai Ruoguan nodded on the side, "Sure enough, it's the emperor's style, and all such good things are auctioned." ”
Jiang Ruanyan was also very angry, but when she thought about it, she persuaded Bai Ruoguan instead.
"It's okay, our people are still there, it's enough."
Although she didn't know if there would be such a glorious moment in her life after that, and even she didn't know if she would have a future.
However, as an important criminal of the imperial court, she is still standing here with good arms and legs, and her friends around her have not been killed, which is undoubtedly the happiest prisoner.
What more could she ask for?
Those assets out there, if they want to be auctioned, just auction them.
Seeing that Jiang Ruanyan, who was the most picky on weekdays, came to persuade himself, Bai Ruoguan was a little flustered.
"Soft words, don't give up, we will definitely be able to get out."
Jiang Ruanyan was also surprised, "I didn't give up, it's just that we can't stop these things, so it's better to think about it." ”
That's right, but the person who usually picks the most suddenly stops picking, which still makes people a little worried.
What's more, the assets of Jishitang and Xinyuan Pavilion together are the total assets of the richest people in several provinces.
Jiang Ruanyan didn't look distressed at all, can this make people not worry?
