"Why didn't you say goodbye in the first place, even if you made it clear to me, I wouldn't necessarily have stopped you from coming back."

Gu Qinghong let go of her and walked to the table and sat down: "When I woke up, I was already out of Cangchen's territory. ”

"Wake up? What do you mean? Xiao Xinyi was shocked.

"I didn't know when I left Taoyuan Village, and then I sent someone to Taoyuan Village to look for you, but you have already left there, and my people found out that it was the Fifth Prince of Cangchen who took you away, and I was relieved to know that you were fine."

"So... Are you relieved..."

Before meeting him, Xiao Xinyi thought of countless possibilities, imagining that he had to come back as a last resort. But the only reason she couldn't think of was that the emperor needed him.

Yes, he is the only son of the current emperor, and he is the first person to succeed to the throne, and this reason is unassailable.

However, his promise to her is fleeting, or is it a show.

"Your Highness, for the sake of our past affection, the people and girls have something to ask for."

Gu Qinghong looked at Xiao Xinyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said unhappily: "Get up and talk, what do you want." ”

"Please let me take Kuo'er out of the palace." Xiao Xinyi's expression was as determined as his figure.

"Impossible."

"Your Royal Highness, there are countless beauties in your harem, and I will give birth to more princes for you in the future, Kuo'er is my only child, I can't live without him, I ask Your Highness to fulfill it."

"How can it be the only child, you and I will have many children in the future, Kuo'er is our eldest son, and he will inherit the throne in the future." Gu Qinghong walked up to Xiao Xinyi and squatted down to look at her: "Don't you want to stay by my side?" ”

"The people's daughter has a humble status and is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, the people's daughter just wants to find a clean place to raise Kuo'er as an adult."

Gu Qinghong got up and looked at her condescendingly: "Holding our child in your arms, but saying that you are not worthy of me, are you angry with me?" ”

"The women don't dare."

"I know that I owe you this matter, and I will compensate you twice in the future, my father asked me to accept Li Yu as a concubine, I didn't agree, the position of concubine can only be you, and I will ask my father to be a concubine after I go back."

"Is the position of concubine your compensation for me?" Xiao Xinyi raised his head and slowly stood up from the ground: "You once said that I am the only wife you identify. ”

"You've been the only one in my wife."

"What about Li Yugong, Sun Yulin and Leng Moyan." The heart hurts so much that he is powerless, and the words that should be heart-rending are as light as a feather.

Gu Qinghong chuckled: "Finally angry, I thought you didn't care at all, so it seems that you still care about this matter." ”

Xiao Xinyi looked at the corners of his upturned mouth and the fingers trembled uncontrollably, why did he still laugh at this time, what did he go through during this time, why did he judge the two of them before, or was he like this, but she never really knew each other.

Gu Qinghong looked back and saw Xiao Xinyi trembling like chaff, and stretched out his hand to grab her, Xiao Xinyi dodged sideways, Gu Qinghong was not annoyed: "My wife has always been only you, as for them, they were all sent to my palace by my father in order to consolidate the government and buy people's hearts, and as far as I am concerned, they are just tools." ”

"What about me, what am I."

"You're my wife."

"Isn't it a tool with the blood of the Luo family on your body?"

"Xin'er, what is the bloodline of the Luo family that you have been talking about, your father's surname is Xiao, your mother's surname is Jiang, why do you have the bloodline of the Luo family, what is the use of the bloodline of the Luo family, are you hiding something from me."

"Troubled times" is the secret of the master, and Xiao Xinyi has never mentioned this matter to Zhuge Qinghong. But the current emperor knows, she thinks Gu Qinghong already knows.

"My grandmother's surname is Luo."

"So, what is the use of the Luo family's bloodline?"

"It can stir up troubled times."

"The powdered guqin?"

"Yes"

"The guqin is ruined, and the Luo family's bloodline has other uses."

"It's gone."

"Since it's gone, what's the use of my Luo family's bloodline, all I want is a child who is connected to my bloodline with you, why don't you believe it."

"You said that you would not return to the Imperial City, and you would grow old with me in the mountains."

"Xin'er, at this time and that time, although I can't accompany you in the mountains, I can grow old with you, isn't it good in the palace."

"I just want to be a couple for the rest of my life."

Gu Qinghong was silent for a moment: "I can pretend that they don't exist." ”

"So they will still stay with you, and they will still be your nominal women, and I will still share a husband with them."

"I can pamper you alone."

Xiao Xinyi smiled, strings of crystal teardrops crossed the corners of his upturned mouth, poignant with ridicule: "But I only want Zhuge Qinghong, you are not, you are Gu Qinghong." ”

"You probably don't know that there is a limit to Lone's patience." Gu Qinghong frowned, with anger.

"Yes, the folk girl is not familiar with His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally I don't know." Xiao Xinyi raised her eyes with him, and saw that he was angry and there was a surge of happiness in his heart, if it was Zhuge Qinghong who was angry in front of her, she must be distressed in her heart.

"Someone."

Gu Qinghong's angry voice woke up the baby, who was already sleeping, and instantly a loud cry filled the entire room.

"Your Highness." Several palace maids came in from outside the door tremblingly.

Xiao Xinyi was hurriedly coaxing the crying baby in his arms, and he couldn't prevent the swaddling clothes from being snatched away, and when he looked up, Gu Qinghong had handed the swaddling clothes to the palace maid behind him: "Take the little prince down, no one is allowed to come in without my orders." ”

"No." The palace maid took the swaddling clothes and turned around and left.

"You give it back to my child." Xiao Xinyi was about to chase after her, but her wrist was pinched by Gu Qinghong, and her internal force disappeared under his suppression.

"That's my child, where are they going to take him?"

"The left and right will not go out of the palace, what are you afraid of, didn't you just say that you are not familiar with Lone, and now Lone will let you know whether we are familiar with each other or not." As he spoke, he picked up Xiao Xinyi and walked towards the soft couch.

"Gu Qinghong, you are shameless, let me down..."

"To be my wife is to fulfill the responsibilities of a wife, you have given birth to my children, how can you be shameless now."

The clothes in the torn room have not been removed, but I heard a palace maid outside the door reporting loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, someone from the "Warm Sun Palace" has come to invite, Leng Liangdi has a sudden heart attack and has fainted several times. ”

Gu Qinghong paused, pulled his hand out of Xiao Xinyi's broken clothes, put on his coat, looked back at the dead man on the couch, and left in a hurry.

If a person's heart could be pulled out, the one that belonged to Xiao Xinyi would definitely be broken into countless pieces. How could it hurt so much, it was like someone had broken a bone with a stick, and the bone was still connected to the tendons, and every time I breathed, it was like someone pulling the broken bones with all my might, and the soreness of the bones hurt from the bottom of my heart to the limbs.

"Sister..."Qin Youyou barged in from outside, pulled the quilt over her indiscriminately, hugged her and cried.

"Yoyo, let's get out of here."

"Okay, let's go, go home." Qin Youyou helped Xiao Xinyi up, took off his coat and draped it over her.

Home, where.

Before the two of them had taken a few steps, two black shadows blocked the door, it was the palace blood guard.

Xiao Xinyi let go of Qin Youyou's hand: "Youyou, you go, I can't use my internal strength anymore, I can't go today." ”

"Sister, how could I leave you, even if I fight for this life, I will take you away." Qin Youyou took a step forward in front of Xiao Xinyi, opened his posture and looked vigilantly at the black-clothed man opposite who only showed his eyes.

Xiao Xinyi pulled Qin Youyou and gently tucked the broken hair scattered on her cheeks behind her ears: "Silly girl, even if you fight our two lives today, you won't be able to escape from the blood guards, you still have thoughts, don't fight to the death at every turn like before."

"Sister..."

"He wants to leave me alone, I shouldn't embarrass you, you and Hua Rujiang hurry up and leave here now, don't let me worry about it."

"Sister..."Qin Youyou's tears rolled in his eyes, why did things turn out like this.

"Yoyo, let's go, I'll worry if you stay here, this palace is not the place we should come, don't worry, I'll go out."

"No, I'm not leaving, I can't leave you here to be bullied."

If someone really wants to bully her, what can Qin Youyou, a powerless little woman, do.

Xiao Xinyi sighed, and before he could speak, an old voice said in a loud voice: "Pass the emperor's edict and order the Xiao family to enter the palace to see the driver." ”

The news that she was brought into the palace by Gu Qinghong reached the emperor's ears so quickly.

Xiao Xinyi has seen the current emperor, six years ago outside the imperial city, when he was still the king of the falling moon, although he was already old, but the spirit is acceptable, and he can still be at ease in the chaos of the army, leading tens of thousands of people to fight in the south and the north. It's only been six years, and the old man sitting in the hall is full of silver threads, his eye sockets are deep and his cheekbones are protruding, and he coughs dryly from time to time. When Xiao Xinyi entered the hall, the emperor's face was flushed, and only the cough of the old man echoed in the silent palace. There was a eunuch rubbing his back lightly, and after coughing, a palace maid served him with water to rinse his mouth, and when the emperor sat in front of the dragon case, the eunuch beside him stood up straight and said loudly: "Pass the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Xinyi knelt on the ground after crossing the high threshold: "The maiden greets the emperor." ”

"Get up and talk, sit down." The emperor's tone is gentle, if it weren't for the disparity in status, he would be as kind as an elder in an ordinary family.

"The women don't dare." Xiao Xinyi's body did not move, nor did he raise his head.

The emperor looked at the figure kneeling in front of the hall and sighed: "Sure enough, with Wanyun's temperament, it seems to be gentle and weak but has a big idea, and I and Wanyun are also childhood sweethearts, if she hadn't met your father, maybe there wouldn't have been those things later." ”

The ethereal voice made the people in the hall trance, and the old voice had nostalgia for the past and feelings about the impermanence of the world, but there was no regret. Even if so many things happened later and paid such a tragic price, he never regretted his choice back then. If it weren't for that shocking dance, maybe he wouldn't have understood what it was to be unforgettable in his life.
