Chapter 224: Bad old man
Half an hour later, Qi Hao arrived in the palace.
The old emperor did not directly expose the truth that Gu Jinli was the daughter of Feng Se, the guardian goddess of Feng Kingdom, at first
Gu Huai and Li were stiffened, and Gu Jinli was married on behalf of him.
Sure enough, Qi Hao's shocked look made the old emperor barely satisfied.
It's just that when the old emperor angrily asked Qi Hao how to deal with Gu Jinli and the Gu family, Qi Hao was silent
It still made the old emperor frown.
As Father-in-law Jia thought, he moved his whole body with one hair, not to mention beheading the Gu family, but only said that he moved Gu Huai, the prime minister,
The whole court will change.
Therefore, although the old emperor was annoyed in his heart, he really couldn't do it to the Gu family right now.
The reason why he pretended to be angry was just to test Qi Hao's reaction and Gu Jinli's heart in his heart
How heavy is the status?
Compared with the throne of the country, what choice will he make.
Although Qi Hao didn't say anything, he had already made his own decision in his heart.
All the things in the world add up, and they are not as important as Gu Jinli.
Of course, it was precisely because Qi Hao knew the old emperor's mind that he hesitated.
Because, if he protects Gu Jinli, it will cause the old emperor's dissatisfaction with Gu Jinli even more, and speed up the destruction of the Gu family
speed.
But if he said against his will that everything was left to the old emperor, a suspicious person like the old emperor would definitely not believe him.
Therefore, a moderate amount of hesitation shows that he is in a dilemma.
If you can hesitate, it will create an illusion for the old emperor, that is, for Gu Jinli, Qi Hao has not fallen too deep.
The old emperor coughed lightly twice and said slowly: "What do you think, just tell your father, and my father will have one in his heart."
Number. ”
Qi Hao pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Father, because it is too sudden, the son's heart is still a little chaotic, I'm afraid."
It's going to take a while to come to terms with this. ”
After a pause, he continued: "However, my father should not be angry because of this matter. ”
This sounds very much in line with the psychology of normal people.
Especially Qi Hao, he regarded Gu Jinli as an enemy at first, and abused her a lot, and then he was extremely fond of her.
The stark contrast between before and after is a contradictory entanglement.
What's more, the people he hates and loves are just "Gu Jinxiu" who really hurt Yin Suwan's crippled legs.
Qi Hao needs time to sort out his feelings, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Hmm", the old emperor decided to tell Qi Hao about the relationship between Gu Jinli and Fengguo in the future.
Taking a sip of tea, he said in a deep tone: "It's been so long, you should also take Yin Suwan back, otherwise you should make trouble."
What a joke too. ”
Qi Hao knew that the old emperor was referring to the envoy at the palace banquet that night when he asked Yin Suwan if he had an inadvertent person.
According to his temperament, he is too lazy to go down to the snake on this matter.
However, Gu Jinli's identity was like a handle in the old emperor's hand, so he had to maneuver.
Unlike his previous resolute refusal, he still chose an ambiguous answer: "Father, let the children be resigned."
Think about it. ”
This answer can take care of the confusion caused by learning Gu Jinli's identity earlier, and it is also for the old emperor
One step down.
If it was to save the old emperor's face, then the old emperor would probably put this dissatisfaction on Gu Jinli......
Man, who achieves great things, can bend and stretch.
It is impossible for Qi Hao to take Yin Suwan back, just as he will not let go of Gu Jinli no matter what.
It's one thing to say it on the lips, but it's another thing to put it into action.
It is a big deal to let the old emperor extinguish his anger first.
Hearing Qi Hao's relief, the old emperor almost completely believed Qi Hao's words.
Waving his hand, he yawned: "Stand down, there are some things you can think about when you go back." ”
"Yes, Father." Giving up, Qi Hao withdrew from the imperial study.
In the Yuelai tearoom, after Gu Jinli finished brewing two pots of tea for Zisang, Zisang had the intention of leaving.
While walking downstairs, she sighed with emotion: "Although this teahouse is located in the middle of the city, this third floor is like a paradise
The source is the same, such a quiet place, it really makes people not want to leave. ”
Shaking her head, she said again: "I really don't know who the owner of this teahouse is, and he has such a delicate mind, and the teahouse is born."
It's not unreasonable to mean so well. ”
Although after Jiang Yuansheng's trouble last time, everyone knows that this teahouse was opened by Qi Hao for Gu Jinli.
But Gu Jinli had explained to the shopkeeper of the tea room before, and when she saw her in the future, she couldn't behave to her anymore
It's too special to prevent it from attracting attention.
So, Zi Sang didn't know that the person she was praising now was going down the stairs behind her.
After hearing this, Gu Jinli chuckled and said, "If the princess likes it, I can accompany the princess over tomorrow." ”
Zisang glanced at Gu Jinli and said quietly: "I will leave for Yunguo the day after tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "Is the princess going back so soon?" Why don't you stay longer? ”
Zisang has been in Beijing for five days, but he has a feeling that he is living like a year.
No matter how good the capital of Qi is, she doesn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
Because, there is no father here......
Striding into the carriage, she said lightly: "The matter is done, naturally I have to go back." ”
Gu Jinli thought of the royal secrets that Qi Hao told her before Zisang entered Beijing, and probably guessed that she was in such a hurry to return to Yunguo
The reason is no longer asked.
"Da da da", the carriage sounded.
The coachman first sent Zisang to the gate of the palace, and then ran in the direction of King Ning's mansion.
After Gu Jinli returned to the Fuyuan Courtyard, Aiyue was bathing Xiaohong.
I don't know if it's because Aiyue said good things to Xiaohong in front of Zisang today, or if she bathed Xiaohong more than before
Gentle, in short, Xiaohong didn't make a fuss in the water for the first time.
The warm sun shines on this person and a fox, and the picture is very warm.
As she walked into the house, she asked, "Is the prince back?" ”
Aiyue shook her head, "Not yet." ”
Gu Jinli sat down at the table, raised her hand and picked up a medical book, but she couldn't read it anymore after turning a few pages.
In the past, there were too many idle people in the house, and she enjoyed the time when she could read quietly by herself.
Later, there was one more Qi Hao in the house, and he always distracted her by arguing.
But now, Qi Hao is not around to disturb her reading, and she can't stand it.
Man, what a strange!
Rubbing her eyebrows, she took a deep breath and focused her attention on the medical book.
On the carriage back to the Ning Palace, Qi Hao's mind appeared with what the old emperor said, and he fell into deep thought.
At the beginning, I began to doubt Gu Huai and the eldest lady's distinct and different attitudes towards Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu.
So, how did the old emperor find out Gu Jinli's identity? Where did he find out?
Could it be that the old emperor is the same as himself, starting from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
However, the old emperor rarely had contact with Gu Huai, the eldest lady, Gu Jinli, and Gu Jinxiu at the same time, even if it was big
Madame took Gu Jinxiu to the palace banquet before, and the seat was far away from the old emperor, it was impossible for him
Noticed the open and secret battles between women.
Qi Hao thought about this question for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
Until the coachman tightened the reins of the horse and said "whew", Qi Hao opened the curtain and got off the carriage while facing Du Jiang
Said: "Help this king check one thing." ”
"Lord Wang, what's the matter?" Du Jiang hurriedly followed and asked.
Qi Hao walked to the door of the study before turning around and whispering in Du Jiang's ear.
After hearing this, Du Jiang couldn't believe it: "Lord Wang, are you saying that the emperor already knows the identity of Concubine Gu?" ”
Qi Hao pursed his lips and said slowly: "This matter is very urgent, you must find out as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go and check!" Du Jiang also knew the seriousness of the situation, and in response, he flew away and disappeared
In front of Hao.
After Qi Hao entered the study, he stayed until the evening.
Gu Jinli got the news from Hexiang as soon as Qi Hao returned home, but heard that Qi Hao was in the study
, and didn't bother.
When it was time for dinner, she asked Hexiang to go to the study to ask Qi Hao whether to eat in the study or go to the Fuyuan Courtyard.
Qi Hao naturally wanted to accompany Gu Jinli, so without saying a word, he went back to Fuyuan with Hexiang.
At the dinner table, Qi Hao asked what Gu Jinli and Zisang talked about after he left, and whether Zisang was deliberately embarrassed
over her and so on.
After hearing that Zisang not only did not embarrass Gu Jinli, but also praised the teahouse, Qi Hao could eat with confidence.
After eating, Qi Hao went back to the study, and Gu Jinli painted a picture for Xiaohong at the request of Aiyue.
The painting is Xiaohong, who has just finished bathing, and the two big eyes are so vivid that even Xiaohong can't bear to see it herself
Live forward and make up.
When it was time to go to bed, Qi Hao lay on the bed and did not move his hands and feet as before.
For some reason, Gu Jinli felt that he seemed to be hiding something on his mind.
Lying in Qi Hao's arms, she said softly: "Are you unhappy? ”
Qi Hao sighed lightly and smiled reluctantly: "No, I'm just a little tired." ”
Gu Jinli looked straight at Qi Hao, raised her hand to soothe his inadvertent frown, and said in an affirmative tone: "You have something."
Hide it from me. ”
"Ah Gu, I didn't ......" Qi Hao just wanted to deny it, but he heard Gu Jinli say in a low voice: "You said, between you and me, no."
No matter what happens, there can be nothing to hide from the other party. ”
Qi Hao didn't know how to open his mouth to Gu Jinli, after all, if Gu Jinli knew about the exposure of his identity, he was afraid
I'm afraid and I have to think crankily.
Moving his lips, he had no choice but to say, "Father asked me to bring Yin Suwan back." ”
That's right, he said to be honest with each other.
However, sometimes lies can be reassuring.
Moreover, he is not lying, but has reservations......
Gu Jinli's face stiffened, and then nodded: "It's supposed to be taken back, and the title is still there." ”
Qi Hao looked at Gu Jinli, held her hand, and whispered, "Don't worry, I didn't promise my father." ”
Gu Jinli was stunned, "Qi Hao......"
Qi Hao's peach blossom eyes were dyed with a smile, and he said seriously: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated." ”
"You ...... Idiot. Gu Jinli's heart was moved, she bit her lip lightly, and said in a low tone: "You are for me."
I've done so much, but not only can I do nothing for you, but I'm always holding you back......"
If the old emperor heard Gu Jinli's words, he would definitely nod in agreement.
But Qi Hao was not, he saw Gu Jinli blame himself, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "Ah Gu, if you always have so much."
Sentimentality, how I want to be good. ”
The hand reached out to the corner of her eye, but fortunately she didn't cry, otherwise he didn't know how distressed he would be.
Gu Jinli held Qi Hao's hand and did not speak.
Qi Hao lifted the quilt on Gu Jinli's back with his other hand, and suddenly remembered something, on her forehead
Tapped: "You're the fool, little fool." ”
His tone was full of pampering, which made Gu Jinli's depressed mood just now a little brighter.
Kissing Gu Jinli's lips, Qi Hao smiled and said, "Go to bed early." ”
Gu Jinli nodded and closed her eyes.
Qi Hao didn't close his eyes immediately, but looked at Gu Jinli's quiet side face, his eyes were complicated.
If he could, he really wanted to give her a carefree, free life.
There are no cumbersome and rigid rules, and there are no messy people who are always looking for trouble with her.
However, this kind of life seems to be really luxurious......
couldn't help but sigh again, he quickly closed his mouth, afraid of being discovered by Gu Jinli.
However, Gu Jinli had already heard Qi Hao's sigh that he thought was very light.
Her eyelashes twitched, and her face was as calm as before.
However, her hands clenched the quilt tightly.
At the same time, in the valley, Xiaoyaozi was squatting in the middle of the courtyard, holding a fan and boiling medicine.
On the rattan chair behind her, a girl in white was lying.
The girl's face was sickly white, and her originally delicate face was now as thin as a tael of flesh.
She struggled to open her eyes to look at the night sky dotted with a few stars, then rubbed her eyes and looked at the medicine stove
Xiaoyaozi muttered, "Master, how long have I slept this time?" ”
Xiaoyaozi fanned the fire for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's not long, it's just over an hour." ”
Lin Sheng watched the flames under the stove being blown by the wind, like fireflies flying, and said with a wry smile: "Master, you."
Don't lie to me. ”
"I remember before I fell asleep, it seemed like it was too late, but now it's almost time."
Snorted, Lin Sheng smelled the medicinal fragrance in the air, and his eyes were a little sour: "Master......"
"Tell me, what the hell am I sick with? Are you dying? ”
Lin Sheng's drowsiness became more and more severe, so Xiaoyaozi worked hard every day to research drugs that could relieve her drowsiness
Thing.
Therefore, Lin Sheng's medicine is also uninterrupted every day.
It's just that for so long, Lin Sheng rarely seems to ask him why he drinks so much medicine.
Xiaoyaozi thought that if Lin Sheng didn't ask, he thought she didn't know.
In fact, it is just self-deception.
His eccentric little apprentice Lin Sheng was such a smart child, how could he believe that the medicine he boiled for her was particularly strong
What about tonic for the body?
His throat was a little blocked, and Xiaoyaozi adjusted his breathing for a while, "Sheng'er, don't scare yourself." ”
"With Master here, how could you die?"
"Besides, you're still young, and if you want to die, Master, a bad old man, will die before you."
Although he was facing away from Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng couldn't see his expression, but he caught a slight tremor in his voice.
Supporting the rattan chair, she stood up, dragging her weak body, Lin Sheng walked behind Xiaoyaozi and put her face on it
Behind him, he muttered, "Master, I have been studying medicine with you for many years, but I can't diagnose myself
It's a strange disease. ”
"The people outside are called Master's Divine Doctor, presumably Master, you must know, right?"
Xiaoyaozi stiffened, and a mist appeared in his old eyes: "Sheng'er......"
A teacher for one day, a father for life.
Since the day he adopted Lin Sheng in the valley of Youyou Valley, Lin Sheng has been his apprentice and his daughter.
How could he tell Lin Sheng that he was helpless and powerless?
"Master." Lin Sheng suddenly scratched Xiaoyaozi's armpit, and the look on his face turned sad to joy: "Actually, I can eat and sleep."
That's a good thing! ”
"Otherwise, the pig would not be called the happiest animal in the world!"
Xiaoyaozi couldn't laugh, and looked at Lin Sheng's smiling little face, and his heart was even more sad.
"Hehe, but pigs are also the most pitiful, happiness is only a few days, and when they are fattened, they should be slaughtered." Lin Sheng
Seeing Xiaoyaozi's sad eyes, she also felt that what she said was not funny, and touched her nose, and she caught a glimpse of Xiaoyaozi's hand
The fan was lit by the flames that came out of the furnace, and immediately shouted, "Master, be careful! ”
It could be that the wind was a little strong, so much so that the fan was already half burned.
Xiaoyaozi came back to his senses, dropped the fan, and stepped on the ground a few times.
Lin Sheng yawned and stood up with difficulty holding his knees, "Master, I'm sleepy again, the medicine will be cured in a while,
You remember to call me. ”
With that, she yawned several more times in quick succession.
Turning around, she lay down on the wicker chair again.
Listening to Lin Sheng's even breathing, Xiaoyaozi's old eyes overflowed with a tear.
On the seventh day, the eldest lady celebrated her birthday, and Gu Jinxiu lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After she stayed for two days, the eldest lady was worried that if she had been away from the Qing King's Mansion for a long time, someone in the palace would take the opportunity to climb up to the Qing King
bed, so he coaxed Gu Jinxiu back with kind words.
However, as soon as Gu Jinxiu went out, someone gave her a letter.
After reading the letter, her whole face turned pale.
Clutching the envelope, she found a reason to take her maid away, and went to the agreed place on the letter.
Avoiding the crowded streets, Gu Jinxiu finally made it to Mingyue Lake.
This Mingyue Lake is the place where Yin Zike and Gu Nianshi held poetry club activities here many days ago, and of course it is
The place where Hua Qiong was last seen before her death.
Gu Jinxiu didn't know what Jiang Yuansheng was going to do when she asked her to come here, but when she was dragged to Mingyue Lake by Jiang Yuansheng
After a small abandoned kiosk in the distance, she understood.
There were uneven trees and bushes around the pavilion and she was pressed against the stone table from behind by jiang yuansheng outside
One would not have noticed that a man and a woman in the pavilion were doing that shameful thing in broad daylight.
The clothes on her body were faded to her waist, Gu Jinxiu's white body was pressed against the cold table, and her eyes looked at Si in a panic
Zhou: "Table...... Cousin, don't be in ...... Don't be here, you'll be discovered! ”
Jiang Yuansheng raised his hand, slapped Gu Jinxiu's buttocks, and advanced under his waist, sneering: "You put it."
Heart, I've surveyed before I came, it's safe here! ”
Jiang Yuansheng's hand was very strong, and Gu Jinxiu snorted in pain.
Hearing Gu Jinxiu's shout, Jiang Yuansheng was even more excited.
He slammed it down, and his interest was very high.
I found out in advance that Gu Jinxiu was going back to the Qing Palace, so he sent someone to send her a letter.
Since he said that he wanted Gu Jinxiu to be his slave, he would definitely do what he said.
He can't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is impossible to ask Gu Jinxiu to go to the Guogong Mansion to do it, let alone the Qing Palace.
Come to think of it, only Mingyue Lake is a good place.
It's not completely hidden, but you can enjoy the scenery and do beautiful things.
On top of that, he's never tried to be in the open air, especially with a lot of people coming and going
can make him more nervous and exciting when he does bad things.
Just now I told Gu Jinxiu about safety, but I was just telling her.
Otherwise, how could she let go of her throat and scream uncontrollably?
Table ...... Cousin ...... "Gu Jinxiu's body hurts a lot, she doesn't feel the slightest pleasure, and tears are hurting out:
"Light...... Tap, I hurt so much! ”
She didn't know that the more she cried and begged for mercy, the more violent Jiang Yuansheng became.
His lips were pressed behind Gu Jinxiu's ear, he squinted his eyes and smiled coldly and evilly: "Cousin, compared to hating you so much that I want to kill you,
I want to see you suffer under me. ”
"You are in pain, and it makes me happier than kneeling on my ground and licking my feet."
"You hate me, so what?"
"In the end, aren't they all submissive to me and dominated by me?"
His words, straightforward, humiliated Gu Jinxiu so much that he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Her waist was roughly grabbed by Jiang Yuansheng, and she was powerless to resist, so she could only use her elbows to prop herself on the table.
Her eyes were scarlet, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
Her nails were clutching at her palms, and she couldn't feel the pain anymore.
Like a numb doll, she was pulled by Jiang Yuansheng with an invisible thread, and all of a sudden, with his collision
And swinging the body.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Jinxiu only felt a stream of heat in his body, and then Jiang Yuansheng was like a dog who had just finished catching a rabbit
Like, gasping for air, exhaustion pressed against her back.
Outside the Queen Mother's dormitory, after Yin Suwan came out with an invitation, Mama Lan called out to her: "Lord of the Summer Palace, you stay." ”
Yin Suwan was stunned for a moment, stopped and asked, "Mama Lan, what's the matter?" ”
Mama Lan took a step forward, glanced at it, and saw that there was no one next to her, so she lowered her voice and said, "County Lord, there are some words, Queen Mother."
It's hard to say, so the old slave said it for her, but don't blame the old slave. ”
"Huh?" Hearing Mama Lan say this, Yin Suwan was even more curious and asked, "Mama has something to say, just say it directly." ”
Mama Lan coughed lightly twice, and said with an unnatural look on her old face: "Tomorrow, Princess Zisang and the envoys will leave Beijing, and the emperor will be in the palace tonight."
A farewell banquet was held, and Prince Ning would definitely enter the palace to attend. ”
"It's better to ...... Why don't you take this opportunity and think of some ways to reconcile with the prince. ”&8203;&8203;
Yin Suwan listened and lowered her eyes, "What is the prince's attitude towards me, the queen mother and the grandmother know best, me."
I don't want to be bored anymore. ”
"Oh, county lord, why are you so dead-eyed!" Mama Lan was in a hurry, and couldn't help but whisper in Yin Suwan's ears
A few words were muttered.
Yin Suwan's face flushed, and her eyes widened: "Mama, if the prince knows that I drugged him, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Hey, don't worry about the county lord." Mama Lan waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother has been dotted tonight, and she will be there then."
Someone deliberately poured wine on the prince, as long as the prince was drunk, isn't this a matter of course? ”
"This ......" Mama Lan's words made Yin Suwan very moved.
If she wants to talk about this medicine, she has a ready-made copy in her hand.
That is still Yin Suxi instructed Shuang'er to give himself and the envoys of Yunguo, if it is used on Qi Hao tonight, it will not be
Not necessarily.
It's a big deal, after the East Window incident, he pushed this charge onto the Queen Mother.
Pretending to be hesitant, Yin Suwan said worriedly: "Mama, let me go back and think about it." ”
"Everything is up to the queen mother, the county lord is relaxed." Mama Lan patted Yin Suwan's hand, and then turned around and went back to the house
Child.
Yin Suwan watched Mama Lan close the door, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
As long as she can return to the palace, she must personally get rid of Gu Jinli and the evil seed in her stomach!
She wants to make Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, a pair of dog men and women, feel heartbroken, and it will not be easy!
Wonderful!
