This time, Gu Xici was surprised.

Xiaohong has always delayed her antidote, but today she gave her the antidote three days ahead of schedule. Gu Xici felt that if it weren't for the fact that there were still things to be done on him, Xiaohong would have put away the antidote and watch her die reading the Fa.

Xiaohong also noticed that Gu Xici's gaze at her was a little strange, as if she was afraid that she would want to be crooked, and explained: "Don't think about it, you will get married in two days, and you yourself know the tragic situation when this poison occurred, so I specially gave it to you first, if something really happens to you, I can't afford it." ”

"I see!" Gu Xici nodded suddenly, she took the antidote and didn't eat it directly, but put it away.

And Xiaohong didn't pay attention to the fact that she put away the antidote, she didn't look at Gu Xici's eyes, got up and prepared to leave, "It's okay, I'll go out first." ”

"You wait!" Before Xiaohong could go out, she was stopped by Gu Xici.

"What's wrong?" Little Red asked, turning her back to her.

"Last time the paddock ......" Gu Xici looked at Xiaohong's back and stiffened obviously, and said with a smile, "What happened to the paddock last time, I know it wasn't what you meant. ”

Xiaohong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Xici say this, and just wanted to turn her head and say something, only to hear Gu Xici continue, "But it doesn't mean that I will forgive you, remind you, I will settle this matter with you." ”

"I ......" Xiaohong still wanted to refute Gu Xici, but she didn't expect Gu Xici to push her out of the room directly, and the door closed with a "bang", giving her a chance at all.

"Gu Xici!" Xiaohong gritted her teeth and looked through the door to the people in the room. This Gu Xici is so bold that he dares to talk to himself like this! Her eyes were undisguised with hatred for Gu Xici, one day, she would get rid of this woman!

Xiaohong lowered her head and looked at the knife wounds exposed because of the pull of her sleeves, the wounds were all new, the knife wounds had just scabbed, and it hurt to move her hand casually.

However, this is not a big deal for Xiaohong. In her clothes, there were more large and small knife wounds. Every knife slashed at her heart. In addition to the pain in his heart, he was more of a hatred for Gu Xici.

If it weren't for Gu Xici, she wouldn't have been injured at all, and she wouldn't have been devastated at all!

At this time, in the room, Gu Xici was studying the pill in her hand. She didn't know what the hell Xiaohong was doing now, but she would be so kind and give her the medicine in advance? This kind of behavior is very similar to what Xiaohong can do to herself.

The day of the big wedding is fast approaching.

The weather that day was exceptionally good, and God seemed to know that today was a good day for King Zhao, and it was a rainy day for several days, and when it came to the fifteenth, it was all clear.

Early in the morning of the 15th, the streets of Kyoto were already full of people.

Everyone has heard that today is the day when King Zhao and the prime minister's family tied the knot!

It has long been no secret that King Zhao is handsome among the people, and the third lady of the prime minister's family is even more well-known to everyone. I heard that the third lady was originally promised to the prince, but the prince didn't want to withdraw from the marriage, so he gave it to King Zhao.

The gossip among the people was in full swing, but these things were unknown to people at that time.

Gu Xi was pulled up by the mother-in-law before dawn, followed by all kinds of dressing, bathing and changing clothes, and drawing eyebrows and lips, the process was very cumbersome.

Gu Xici didn't care, the whole person was very obedient, and she would do whatever she wanted.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, watching the maids put on their own makeup, Gu Xici's thoughts couldn't help but fly out.

All along, she was worried that Chu Jin would find out her identity, so she was extra careful every time she came into contact with Chu Jin, although there were often times when she was careless, but in general, she thought that she was well disguised.

However, compared to being discovered by Chu Jin, the matter of marrying Chu Jin did not bother Gu Xici. I don't know when it started, she already had such a consciousness in her mind, it seemed that there was no problem with her union with Chu Jin, on the contrary, it felt normal.

This sudden thought made Gu Xici himself startled, and he immediately shook his body, wanting to kick out this messy thought.

"Hey, miss, don't move!" Gu Xici was completely immersed in her own world, and she didn't remember that she was still putting on makeup, and the maid who originally helped her draw her sideburns was crooked because of her movement, and a black mark spanned half of her face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to put on makeup!" Gu Xici looked at the painted half of his face in the mirror and apologized.

The sudden apology made the maid a little confused. She said in a hurry, "It doesn't matter, Miss, if you hold on a little longer, the drawing will be completed in no time!" ”

The maid wiped the marks off her face with water, and touched up her blush again, this time I don't know if it was because of Gu Xici's words just now, her movements became a lot softer.

Two hours later, Gu Xici was finally dressed up clearly.

Gu Xici looked at himself in the bronze mirror and subconsciously blinked.

Is this still me? With fiery red lips and a slightly exaggerated eyeliner, it looks like it's a bit overwhelming.

This is the first time she has carefully observed herself, and I have to say that the appearance is still good.

"Miss, put the hijab on, it's time to get on the sedan chair soon!" The matchmaker stood outside the door and saw that Gu Xici had dressed up and came out, and immediately put the red hijab that had been prepared on his head.

*

The streets of Kyoto are crowded with people, and most of the people of Kyoto have taken to the streets to take this opportunity to see the peerless style of Prince Zhao.

The greeting procession slowly approached from a distance, and the festive music whetted everyone's appetite. Everyone stood on tiptoe, vying to look at the appearance of Prince Zhao in the crowd coming from afar.

"Isn't that the one who started the first one? Ouch, it's so far away, I can't see clearly! ”

"You are talking nonsense, how can that be the prince! The prince should be sitting on a horse! ”

"Yes, yes, what about the horses!"

There are two kinds of people who came to the scene to see the excitement today, one is to see King Zhao's peerless face, and the other is to hear that King Zhao is actually very ugly, just because you are the prince, and the people below are flattering to him in every way, so there are shocking rumors.

As the team gradually approached, everyone's doubts became more and more.

"Did you just see King Zhao? Why didn't I see the person they said for a long time! ”

"That's it, I didn't see it, shouldn't Prince Zhao be weak and sick? Could it be that you are afraid of the wind so you sit in a sedan chair? ”

The discussion below grew louder and louder, and everyone was dissatisfied because they couldn't see King Zhao. Some people even shouted and scolded directly in the crowd, saying that if they didn't see Prince Zhao today, they would block the middle of the road and not go back!

However, these people don't know that in this welcoming procession, it is not only Prince Zhao who is missing, but even the woman who has just gotten on the sedan chair from the Prime Minister's Mansion is not Gu Xici.

"Gu Xici is that slut! Why do you want me to sit in this sedan chair instead of her! Gu Huaqing sat in the sedan chair with a depressed face, and the hijab on her head had become the object of her anger, holding it in her hand and pulling it vigorously.

Just when the sedan chair came out of King Xuan's mansion and was about to pick up the bride, a news suddenly came from the mansion that King Zhao was missing!

At this time, the palace was also in chaos. On the day of the wedding, the groom's official disappeared for no reason, and the emperor, who was still happy when he went out, now sat in the study with an angry face.

Gu Xici had just covered his hijab and was going to wait in the hall, but he didn't expect that without waiting for the greeting procession, it was someone from the palace who came.

King Zhao was gone, and Gu Xici was taken away by the people in the palace, saying that he had gone to discuss a strategy.

And the people in the city have already lined up in the streets and alleys because of King Zhao's marriage, if it is suddenly said that King Zhao is gone, or that the wedding is canceled, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people.

But now the two parties to the wedding are not at the scene, there is no way, in order to protect the royal face, today the Prime Minister's Mansion must send someone to the sedan chair.

"Huaqing, you go!" Between Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing, Li Mengyi did not hesitate at all, and directly asked the maid to take her down to change her clothes, and when the sedan chair was over, she pushed her into the sedan chair.

Gu Huaqing didn't have a chance to object at all, what she was wearing was still the set of red wedding dresses they took for Gu Xici that day, but she didn't expect that his sentence of wanting to wear it that day would become a reality today.

Gu Huaqing pulled her clothes angrily, although this dress was beautiful, it didn't suit her at all! Sitting in the sedan chair, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her nose, in case Gu Xi couldn't come back, could it be that she really wanted to marry that medicine pot prince?

She doesn't want that! King Zhao had already decided that Gu Xici was his concubine, and even if he married, he could only be an ordinary side concubine, didn't this mean that she would be trampled on by Gu Xici for the rest of her life? She doesn't want that!

"Gu Xici, you slut! I will get this debt back from you! Gu Huaqing yelled in the sedan chair.

In the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials have been summoned into the palace in time, including Gu Xici, who also stood on top of the court.

"How could the people who left the country take King Zhao away?" After listening to the description of the guard Jing Gao, Gu Xici couldn't help frowning. Didn't he say that he had left beforehand before leaving the country, why did he take Chu Jin away?

When the ministers in the court heard the news, they were all surprised. What do you think about Yue Liguo? They actually kidnapped their sickest prince here!

"You usually follow King Zhao every step of the way, how can you give them a chance today?" Gu Xici asked.

"The third lady doesn't know, according to the regulations of our Great Chu Kingdom, the night before getting married, the groom must stay alone in the room, and there can be no one next to him. After I had washed King Zhao last night, I withdrew from the courtyard, and it was not until this morning that I went to call him, and found that the man was missing, and then on the table, there was a letter. Jing Gao presented the letter to the emperor.

The emperor just read two sentences of that letter, and immediately became furious!

"Presumptuous! Xiao Xiaoyue left the country, and even thought of threatening me with King Zhao, so that I would agree to give them the land on the frontier! I don't know what to do! The Emperor threw the letter down from the dragon chair, his face flushed with anger.

"The old minister doesn't agree to this matter!" An Guogong stood up, "The land in the frontier has been the territory of our Great Chu State since ancient times, how can it be taken away by the Yue Country?" Besides, this is a treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country, if this time it tastes the sweetness of the Yue leaving country, then next time they will kidnap another prince, and then let us cede other lands! ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Jin'er is still in their hands, that child is not in good health, what if he catches a cold!" The emperor's face was full of worry, why did they arrest Chu Jin away!

Hearing what the emperor said, An Guogong couldn't help but shake his head. It's all at this time, and the emperor is still worried about King Zhao, he really has no concept of the overall situation!

He couldn't help but feel unhappy for King Cheng. King Cheng followed him to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and made great achievements, but in the end, there was no idle prince who was liked by the emperor. What is so good about that medicine jar that can be poured by the wind that can receive so much favor from the emperor?

"Your Majesty, after receiving the letter today, I have already informed the soldiers guarding the city that now all the gates are closed, and the prince should still be in Kyoto and has not left." Jing Gao replied.

"One night is enough time to get out of the city from King Zhao's Mansion, have you sent someone outside the city to chase after you?" Gu Xici frowned slightly and asked.

"Someone has already been sent outside the city to chase after them, and King Cheng personally led the team."

Originally, Gu Xici was not so worried, but when he heard that the person who led the team became the king, the brows that had just opened couldn't help frowning together.

Isn't this just in the hands of the king? Chu Xun had long seen Chu Jin unpleasantly, and she didn't believe that Chu Xun would let go of such a good opportunity this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be kept secret, and if it is known by others, it will definitely disturb the people's hearts!" Gu Yuan took a step forward and analyzed: "And now based on this letter alone, it cannot be concluded that it is a ghost caused by Yue Liguo, if this is mistaken, it is very likely to hurt the harmony between the two countries." ”

The ministers nodded in agreement.

Gu Xici stood aside, and suddenly thought that there was also a contradiction between Gu Yuan and Chu Jin, although he didn't understand what the contradiction was, but the more he left the country and arrested Chu Jin, it should be a great thing for Gu Yuan.

The tasks that Gu Yuan asked her to complete before were just some little minions who killed King Cheng's subordinates, but why did she come to Chu Jin as if she was going to kill him quickly?

The emperor sat in his seat with a sad expression, "Is there any other way for Aiqing to save King Zhao?" He has no mother since he was a child, and his body has not been good all these years, I have always felt that I owe him something, and now he has been taken captive, I can't sit idly by as a father, right? ”

"The emperor is wise!"

The ministers fell to their knees.

The ministers didn't seem to be interested in this King Zhao, and now that King Zhao had been arrested, there was no trace of anxiety on their faces. Not only that, let them give advice, but they are just you look at me and I look at you, and they can't make any good suggestions at all.

Gu Xici stood aside, looking at such a deserted appearance, he couldn't help but feel unhappy for Chu Jin in his heart.

is obviously the same prince, why is he treated so far from King Cheng? If the person who was taken away today was Chu Xun instead of Chu Jin, maybe half of the ministers present were in a hurry to offer advice, right?

Perhaps this is the difference between the powerful and the unpowerful behind it.

"Xiqi!" Gu Xici was still complaining about Chu Jin, and suddenly the emperor called her name.

"The courtiers are here!" Gu Xici walked out of the crowd.

"I'm sorry for you, today is your wedding day, but something like this happened!" The Emperor sighed.

"The most important thing now is to find His Royal Highness King Zhao, as for the wedding, the courtiers don't care." Gu Xi's words are sonorous, but he is more attentive than those ministers who can only flatter.

Gu Xici felt that she was very calm, but she didn't know that her anxious eyes had betrayed her heart.

"Report to Your Majesty! Everyone in Kyoto knew about the disappearance of King Zhao, and the people stood at the gate of the palace to ask for an explanation, and Miss Gu Jiasan heard that King Zhao was missing on the road, so she immediately went home! Now the people are complaining about King Zhao, and everyone is talking about it, saying that Princess Zhao is unkind and unjust! The more the little eunuch spoke, the more excited he became, and he raised his head suddenly, startled by Gu Xici, who was staring at him.

This, isn't this Princess Zhao? How did she end up here? Who's on that sedan chair!

After the little eunuch was taken aback, he spoke a little slurred, "The people outside the palace said that this time we must let Princess Zhao rescue King Zhao, otherwise they will be sitting all ......the time."

"Ridiculous!" Chu Yu was the first to stand up, "Our dignified Chu country actually sent a woman out to save people, wouldn't it be laughed out of people's teeth when this matter was spread!" I don't believe it, when our soldiers are overwhelmed, the more they leave the country, the more they dare not hand over people! ”
