Chapter 1: What Reward Do You Want?

Next Chapter

"King Yong, this time you have made a contribution to pacifying the Jiangnan Wako, but what reward do you want?" Emperor Qin Lu squinted at Qin Boyong in the palace, although he had a little pleasure in removing the trouble in his heart, there was suspicion in his eyes.

Qin Boyong's expression was calm, and there was no condescending compliment on his handsome face as a courtier vassal king: "As long as there is one person, I hope the emperor can grant a reward." ”

"It seems that King Yong has a crush on someone in the capital, and your position as the princess who has been vacant for many years should finally have someone." Hearing that it was an important person, Qin Lu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

"Tell me, which noble girl got your eye."

Qin Boyong's phoenix eyes were raised lightly, meaningful, and the cool words were loud in the silent hall.

"The daughter of a criminal in prison, Gu Muzhi."

Qin Lu's relaxed and happy smile froze on his face, and his tone became cold: "Since you know that she is the daughter of a criminal minister, you still want her from me?" ”

"The Gu family is full of beheadings, and the emperor is the only one who keeps her in prison, which is nothing more than me, and he values the beauty of this rich flower in the world." Qin Boyong said with a smile, not caring at all how rebellious his words were.

But Qin Lu couldn't have a seizure, so he only said rather gloomy: "She ran away from marriage many years ago, and she humiliated you in public, so you want to ask me for her at this time?" ”

"That's why." He was not embarrassed at all, and calmly raised his eyebrows.

"I have made this great achievement, whether you want power or fiefdom, your emperor will definitely not be happy, rather than this, why not be an adult." After a pause, Qin Boyong stared and said faintly, "The emperor will never be afraid that a weak woman will avenge the Gu family who was destroyed." ”

Qin Boyong's speech has always been directly thorny, although he is uncomfortable to hear, but he has a fine word, which directly pokes at the point.

This was already on this, and Qin Lu had no choice but to give in.

"I'm right."

Qin Boyong bowed down with a rare thanksgiving, and with undisguised pleasure on his handsome face, he strode away.

Outside the hall, the snow was covered with snow, and goose feathers and heavy snow fell one after another.

He personally took Gu Muzhi from the dungeon, her palm-sized little face was much sharper than the last time I saw it, and it made the pair of peach blossom eyes particularly breathtaking, but now the depths of her dark eyes were lifeless, not as cunning and bright as before.

"Going around and around, you are still in the hands of this king." Qin Boyong had a playful look.

She looked motionless, still silent, as if she didn't bother to resist senselessly.

The prisoner of the partial life step still has a domineering momentum, and he is so proud that he straightens his waist like a bloody plum blossom.

"It's okay, the coming days are long, and there are opportunities to take your time." Qin Boyong was not annoyed, his eyes were full of narrowness, and he held a big umbrella to cover the snow.

From the dungeon to the gate of the imperial city, there was a long and empty road, the two looked at each other without saying a word, and the uninformed palace maid mistakenly thought that this was a couple, so compatible.

The gate of the imperial city opened, Gu Muzhi stood still, Qin Boyong also paused, he lowered his eyes and looked at her, when he saw her, she turned around and stared deeply at the big wall of the Zhumen of the imperial city, brilliant and magnificent.

"Are you going to take me back to your fiefdom?" She spoke, hoarse.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Qin Boyong's eyes: "Yes, you are reluctant to leave this capital?" ”

Gu Muzhi smiled, the sky and the earth were pale, but they swayed with this delicate touch.

She suddenly turned around and walked away quickly, and just as Qin Boyong was stunned, a long arrow mixed with the cold wind and snow stabbed straight towards Gu Muzhi.

He stepped forward quickly to pull her back to dodge, and the long arrow cut through his robe, and he was dressed quite thickly in the snow, only torn his clothes, and there was no big problem.

Gu Muzhi let him protect himself in his arms, listening to his low and cold voice above his head: "Chase!" ”

She closed her eyes and grabbed his cloak as if in a dream.

never thought that one day she would be saved by the person she hated the most, and she couldn't believe that this man who had been hurt by herself left no room for protection was in her arms.

Gu Muzhi was taken back to the vacant mansion in Qin Boyong's capital, and the maid brought new clothes and jewelry, which were the same as what she used to wear, but she was no longer the proud girl of the sky.

Bathing, burning incense, dressing up.

As long as she returns to Qin Boyong's fiefdom, then she will no longer be Gu Muzhi, but one of Qin Boyong's concubines.

Even so, it's better than suffering by the side of the disgusting Dog Emperor.

She pursed her lips, the door was pushed open, and another maid entered.

"The prince said that the girl was frightened, and she had to drink a bowl of soothing soup." The soup is steaming hot and has a faint aroma wafting on it.

Gu Muzhi glanced at it coldly, and said with a light smile: "Take it, he has a heart." ”

She took the soothing soup straight away, drank it all, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she was shaking, a smear of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she fell to the ground.

A figure entered with a cold wind, Qin Boyong picked her up, and said in a low and angry voice: "Call Lu Yuan over!" ”

The subordinates of the entire Yongwang Mansion hung their heads in panic, and they didn't dare to take any more breaths. Since this little lord was poisoned and fell, King Yong, who has always been smiling like a spring breeze, seems to have come to the world like a killing god, with monstrous anger and terrifying cruelty, making them panic as if they were on the verge of life and death.

The maid who was waiting by Gu Muzhi's side at the door was tortured and dragged down and hit the board, her flesh and blood blurred, and she wailed.

But none of this could make Qin Boyong's brows stretch.

Lu Yuan is the first silver needle divine doctor in Daqin, and a few needles can bring people back to life, temporarily stabilizing the spread of toxins, but the toxicity is extremely strong, but after drinking it, it almost kills you.

"She can at least be alive now, but if this poison is removed, she may remain unconscious, or have more serious sequelae." Lu Yuan and Qin Boyong explained.

Qin Boyong's eyes were cold: "What sequelae." ”

"Stupid, or insane."

This sentence stabbed Qin Boyong's heart for some reason, he pinched his eyebrows, but evoked a touch of sneer: "She is to blame for making deals with those people, and now that she has been used, she will try her best to kill her." ”

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Whether it is her mother or her father, she has such wolf ambitions, she may not be able to help herself." ”

Qin Boyong irritably pushed off the tea set in front of him, and he didn't know whether he was angry with her or those people, and said coldly: "Stupid." ”

Gu Muzhi was often in a coma and suddenly vomited poisonous blood, and it took ten days for the poison in his body to be cleaned, but the impact of the toxin on his body was still there, and he continued to be in a coma for another twenty days.

Qin Boyong had not spent Chinese New Year's Eve here since he was crowned king, and was tied here by Gu Muzhi at this time.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, he sat on the edge of the bed and silently looked at Gu Muzhi, who had lost a circle.

"Happy New Year."
