"Qin Yarn Fang" is the most famous theater on Chang'an Street, whether it is a dignitary or a gentleman, they like to linger here. During the day, most of the literati and artists eat tea and play chess here, and in the evening, it is more like the style of Goolan Washe, and the lights of the river are all people who come to have fun.

Wangshu came here early in the morning, eating some tea and listening to some music, his eyes occasionally swept over the stage, and the slender girl sang devotedly, even if she painted heavy makeup, she couldn't cover the beauty of the whole body.

Seeing that it was about to be evening, she sat here for most of the day, although she was calm, Linglu was a little anxious.

"Girl, why hasn't she come out yet?"

Wangshu twisted a piece of pastry, glanced at the table again, and the corners of his lips behind the fence were slightly hooked.

"It's coming."

Wangshu turned his head to look at the two people playing at the next table, and had the impression that they had been playing this game of chess for most of the day, and they had not yet decided the winner, and one of them was in a hurry.

"Ting Bai, you only defend and don't attack like this, when will we play this game of chess?"

The young man in white dropped a chess piece unhurriedly.

"Brother Zi'an, governing the chess game is like governing the government, and paying attention to the art of checks and balances. If you are in a hurry to argue the winner or loser, it is easy to lose the country. ”

Yijie Buyi openly discussed the government. Wangshu glanced at the young man, and the other party seemed to feel her gaze and turned his face. Fortunately, there was a fence between them, and Wangshu handed the pastry into his mouth and lowered his eyes slightly.

Just then, there was a commotion on the stage. I don't know which son of the family fell in love with the girl who sang the song, and even had the idea of taking her back to the house by being drunk and wanton, and then a lame old woman suddenly came out of the back of the stage, and grabbed the girl's wrist tightly to prevent her from being dragged away.

"Childe, the little girl is just a singer, it's hard to get into the hall of elegance, and she really doesn't deserve to enter your mansion!"

"Go away, something!" The drunken boy gave the woman a slap in the face.

Wangshu's gaze fell on the crying woman, frowning slightly.

"Girl, it's her." Zero dew reminders.

Wangshu stood up and was about to go over. Outside the door, there was the sound of a blade unsheathed.

The door of the building was pushed open, and two teams of government soldiers stepped in with a man in their arms.

The person who came came was dressed in a bundle of hair, a crane was added, and the gold and jade belt around his waist showed his honor.

The wind swept through Wangshu's ears, the veil on the fence floated, and the man's face was clearly reflected in Wangshu's eyes.

Gu Huaijin raised his hand, and the yajun began to clear the field. He walked over to the crying mother and daughter hugging each other, his eyes moving slightly.

"Aunt Cui, you let me find it easily."

The guard pulled the troublesome boy away, and the boy was not convinced, until the guard took out the token, he turned white and stumbled out.

The old woman looked at Gu Huaijin, trembled her lips and shouted, "Your Highness." ”

After that, he was about to kneel down while pulling his daughter, but was stopped by Gu Huaijin in time.

If he didn't know the truth, Wangshu was almost moved by this sensational drama.

The people in the theater were gone, and only Wangshu was still standing there. Yajun asked her to leave, but she ignored it.

"I want to say a few words alone with your Highness."

Yajun thought it was funny, "What is your identity?" How could our Highness have time to listen to you. ”

Ling Lu untied his waist card, and Yajun blushed when he saw Deng, and lowered his eyes, "Your Highness, you are the son-in-law of the Xiao Yushi family." ”

"Xiao Lingheng." Gu Huaijin frowned and turned her head to look at the woman wearing the power fence.

Wangshu stood neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Gu Huaijin recognized her voice, and the wrinkles between her eyebrows deepened a little, "Xiao Wangshu." ”

Wangshu didn't wait for him to react, and walked out first, causing Gu Huaijin to sneer.

is such a flamboyant and domineering character, and she is very similar to her father.

Descending the steps, Wangshu stopped.

The night on the horizon is getting thicker, and the clear light is sprinkled on the water of the Weihe River, carrying the whole star.

The evening breeze was cold, and she wrapped her clothes tightly.

"Be careful of Aunt Cui."

"That's what you're going to tell me?" Gu Huaijin looked at her quietly for a long time, and suddenly approached her ear, and her deep voice sprayed on her face with a slightly burning breath, "Aunt Cui has served by my mother's side for more than ten years, and I think the person I should be more careful with is you." ”

Wangshu took two steps back uncomfortably and leaned on the railing to the side, "I know you are jealous of my father, but you don't have to be so hostile to me. Even though my surname is 'Xiao', I don't necessarily approve of what they do. Just like my uncle, although his surname is 'Lu', he also supports you so much. My reminder to you is only kind. ”

Gu Huaijin's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't hear it.

The vast river was filled with smoke, and the moonlight dotted the white sand, but Wangshu's thoughts were far away.

The first time she met Gu Huaijin was also on such a cold night.

At that time, she was just curious about what the prince who had to be defended by her uncle when he turned his back on the family was like, so she went to the North Palace before leaving the palace that day.

Coincidentally, she and Gu Huaijin actually ran into each other on the official road outside the North Palace. He had just returned from His Majesty, and he seemed to have been reprimanded and was not in a good mood.

Wangshu asked him for peace, and Gu Huaijin's attendant explained: "This is the son-in-law of the Xiao Yushi family, who came to the palace to greet the noble concubine." ”

The words "Guifei Niangniang" made Gu Huaijin's aura sink down, he looked at Wangshu, and teased frivolously: "It is said that Xiao Lingheng's daughter-in-law is extraordinary, and her appearance is even more beautiful, but I am a little disappointed when I see it today." It's just chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away. ”

Wangshu was surprised by his hostility.

When Gu Huaijin passed by her, Wangshu pulled his sleeve, she looked at him, her eyes smiled lightly, but her words were unceremoniously.

"The courtiers have also heard from the community that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today has a beautiful appearance, and his appearance and figure are not inferior to the women in the world, and he really lives up to his name when he sees it today."

She suddenly let go of her hand, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and carefully wiped her fingers.

How could Gu Huaijin not see her dislike, her face turned blue with anger, and she said in a calm voice: "Your aunt has never liked to walk around the North Palace, and I believe she doesn't want you to appear here." ”

He left angrily, and the palace people with the palace lamps hurriedly followed. The candlelight penetrated the night and swept on the sunset mist flowers on both sides of the palace road, leaving this brightness in Wangshu's eyes.

The first meeting between the two was really not a pleasant experience, and it only increased the disgust of each other. The curiosity in Wangshu's heart has been alleviated, and he has never been to Beigong again.

Until that day, she followed her father into the palace to greet her aunt and overheard their conversation.

At that time, it was the threshold for my aunt to be canonized as the queen, and His Majesty intended to canonize my aunt as the queen, but was opposed by Gu Huaijin, my uncle and a number of ministers.

The first queen Ye was loved by His Majesty during her lifetime, and then died in childbirth. There is a lot of speculation in the palace about the cause of his death, and what is even more unpredictable is the relationship between the former queen and her uncle. This rumor recurred, and it was still spread that it was an ambiguous affair between the former queen and her uncle, or rather, an adulterous affair.

His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Gu Huaijin, who heard the rumors, broke into the "Changqiu Palace" very angrily, and asked her aunt if she spread these rumors, and it happened that His Majesty was also in the palace, so he ordered Kong Tingwei to find out the origin of the rumors, and the results confirmed that they came from outside the palace. Gu Huaijin didn't believe it, and his words were fierce until he angered His Majesty, so His Majesty abolished Gu Huaijin's position as the crown prince on the grounds that the prince was immoral. Then, Gu Huaijin was also beaten on the board.

That day, when Wangshu passed by the Tai Hospital, he was bumped into by a palace maid with an anxious look, and the palace maid looked familiar, and when she asked, she realized that it was Gu Huaijin's maid Du Ruo. Du Ruo said that the wound on Gu Huaijin's body had recurred, and she was about to go to the imperial doctor.

Wang Shu was relieved, and her aunt passed all the doctors from the Tai Hospital away, but she was afraid that she would make a fight.

After thinking about it for a while, she asked Zero Lu Palace to invite the doctor of Xiao Mansion, and she went to the North Palace with the palace maid first.

As soon as Wangshu walked into the inner hall, he smelled the smell of wine all over the room, and of course saw the smashed porcelain.

It seems that he is not having a good time these days.

Gu Huaijin was lying on the couch, the wound behind her was faintly painful, and when she heard the footsteps, she thought it was Du Ruo.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say? First bring the medicine on the table to the king. ”

Wangshu picked up the ointment, opened the cork and sniffed it, and a cool smell pierced his nose.

She lifted Gu Huaijin's inner robe, and the whip marks on his back were faintly visible, and his appearance was distorted and ugly.

Wangshu's fingertips trembled slightly, and most of the ointment was sprinkled.

Gu Huaijin hissed in pain, "Why is it so light?" ”

As soon as he turned his head and saw Wangshu, he was almost scared and turned his back on him.

"Why are you here?"

He pulled up the quilt to cover himself and stepped back, it was really funny.

"Your Highness is really squeamish, and applying too much ointment will also protect the pain."

Wangshu sealed the mouth of the bottle and found a place to sit.

"The imperial doctor went to my aunt's, so I called the doctor of Xiao Mansion for you."

Gu Huaijin's cold gaze wandered over her.

"Even the Imperial Doctor has been transferred, you want me to die here. In this way, Xiao Shuli is the queen of the crown, Gu Huaiyu is called the prince, and you are the princess. ”

Gu Huaijin covered his sleeves and coughed, his pale face was a little less angry than usual, but he still held on to his momentum.

"Your Xiao family is really kind-hearted, leading me to offend my father. After I was deposed, Xiao Shu was just around the corner after leaving the seal. ”

Although Wangshu sympathized with him, he was dissatisfied with his tone.

"If you can calm down, how can you fall for it?"

Gu Huaijin sneered, "If your biological mother is slandered, can you bear it?" ”

This time, Wangshu was silent. Thinking about it, she really can't.

The candlelight of the palace lamp outlined the cold outline on Gu Huaijin's face.

"Xiao Wangshu, ask your father and your aunt, they are too forceful, are you really not afraid that he will be born as a Jedi?"

Wang Shu looked at him quietly, "I am me, the Xiao family is the Xiao family, I don't want to participate in the fight between you, and naturally I won't pass on the word for you." ”

This sentence was natural to her at that time, and no one expected that it would become a prophecy in the future.

Gu Huaijin's dislike for Wangshu was so obvious, and Wangshu didn't want to be bored. The reason why she helped him was because she knew that his abolition was related to the Xiao family, and if he lost his life because of it again, she was afraid that she would have a disturbed conscience.

Gu Huaijin's reminder is actually not only out of kindness, but also from guilt.
