Chapter 337: Selling Yourself to Bury Your Father

On the second day, the old emperor held a palace banquet in Yonghe Palace.

It's not so much a palace banquet as a "family banquet".

First, King Xuan and Qi Hao could not attend the dinner due to physical reasons.

Second, King Xuan has recently become a news figure in the capital, and his affairs have been in an uproar, and the old emperor is not in the mood to invite those smoky ministers into the palace.

Therefore, this banquet is just a dinner for the old emperor, the queen mother, the empress and others to welcome Chen Zexuan and celebrate the return of the eighth prince.

There are not many people, and they are all considered "their own family".

Chen Zexuan looked at the Eighth Prince, who had not seen him for two years, and felt that he had really grown up after losing a layer of innocence.

This big dye vat in the palace does have enough magic power to make people change.

After some pleasantries, that is, eat and drink, listen to tunes, and watch songs and dances.

Two hours later, Chen Zexuan returned to the old mansion of King Nanyang.

It was not early, but Gu Jinli never slept.

Chen Zexuan saw that the light in Gu Jinli's room was still on, so he knocked on the door and walked in: "Sheng'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

Gu Jinli was sitting at the table, holding her face with one hand and fiddling with the wick of the candle with the other hand.

Seeing Chen Zexuan come in, she put down the silver paddle and stood up: "Brother, I can't sleep anyway, it's better to wait for you to come back."

Pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Chen Zexuan, Gu Jinli asked again, "How is the situation tonight?" Did the old emperor suspect anything? ”

Chen Zexuan took the teacup, sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Last time I entered the palace to greet the old emperor, he had already tested me, and he didn't say anything, and tonight was just an ordinary light meal."

"That's good." After hearing this, Gu Jinli put her mind at ease, "By the way, what about the Eighth Prince?" What do you think when you see him? ”

Chen Zexuan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The Eighth Prince has indeed changed a lot, whether it is temperament or mind, you can't treat him as a child anymore."

"Then brother has to feel, when is it better for us to have a showdown with the Eighth Prince?" Gu Jinli looked straight at Chen Zexuan and sighed: "It's been a month since I returned to Beijing, and I haven't done anything well, and I have revealed my identity."

"Brother, the night is long and there are many dreams, we can't drag it out any longer."

Chen Zexuan put down the teacup, knowing that Gu Jinli was in a hurry, and comforted: "The affairs of the Eighth Prince are handed over to me, after all, my identity is easy to enter and exit the palace."

After a pause, he hesitated to confide in the thoughts that he had tangled on the way back: "Sheng'er, if my brother says that you should leave the country now, are you willing?"

"Leave?" Gu Jinli was stunned, and her little face was full of incomprehension.

"Now that you have regained your appearance and identity, it is dangerous to continue to stay in the capital." Chen Zexuan looked at Gu Jinli's eyes were dark, and said faintly: "The country hates family hatred, I don't want you to carry it anymore."

"Get out of here, go wherever you want, and live the life you want."

"Brother?" Chen Zexuan's words, Gu Jinli is not the first time to hear it.

A long time ago, Chen Zexuan also mentioned that she should stay away from the old hatred of the previous generation.

Revenge is left to him and the man in black.

She knew that he was worried about her, for her good, and didn't want her to have too hard work.

But if you want him to bear it, why doesn't he work hard, how can she not feel sorry for him?

"Brother, I have persevered in the most difficult times in the past two years, what else do you dare not face in the future?" Holding Chen Zexuan's hand, Gu Jinli said softly: "You want me to leave, but you put yourself in dire straits, do you think I will feel at ease?"

"Happy days, everyone thinks about it."

"I'm the same, I want my brother to stop being tormented by hatred all day long."

"Since my brother can endure humiliation for many years for me, why can't I stay in Beijing for my brother?"

"Sheng'er, you and I are different. I am a man, so I should naturally bear this ......" Chen Zexuan shook his head, but his words were interrupted by Gu Jinli.

"Brother, in the face of national hatred and family hatred, there is no distinction between men and women." Gu Jinli held Chen Zexuan's hand a little harder, and said seriously and stubbornly: "You and I have the blood of the royal family of the Feng Kingdom in our bodies, I am the princess of my father, and I should also shoulder the burden on my shoulders with all my might."

"If my brother is worried that my identity will be revealed, then I can continue to wear a mask."

"It doesn't matter who you are, and it doesn't matter what you look like."

"The important thing is that I have to go with my brother."

Seeing that Chen Zexuan's expression was slightly relaxed, Gu Jinli pulled her lips, and finally had a smile on her face: "When we kill Qi Hao and the old emperor and subvert this Qi country, we will go to the mountains and rivers together."

"Sheng'er, are you really not leaving?" Chen Zexuan didn't give up, but couldn't help but ask again.

The matter of Ling Chu's replacement of Lin Sheng's identity in King Ning's Mansion was Chen Zexuan's own initiative, and he did not know that he knew the man in black.

First, the man in black was entangled by Xiaoyaozi, and he didn't have the time to care about the affairs in Beijing.

Second, Chen Zexuan has selfishness.

If the man in black knew that Qi Hao had seen through Gu Jinli's identity, then according to his temperament, he would definitely punish Gu Jinli severely in anger.

Let Ling Chu pretend to be Gu Jinli, not only to let Gu Jinli get out, but also to let Gu Jinli suffer less in the future when the man in black is angry.

Although, this was also very cruel to Ling Chu.

But in Chen Zexuan's eyes, Ling Chen is just a subordinate, and no one is as important as Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli shook her head and said in a resolute tone: "Don't leave."

Chen Zexuan withdrew his hand from Gu Jinli's hand, because he was afraid that he would be more and more reluctant to let go.

Removing his eyes, he said slowly, "So, who do you want to stay by my side?"

"Qi Xiao's identity, how's that?" Gu Jinli could understand Chen Zexuan's thoughts, and guessed that he didn't want the man in black to know what had happened to her in King Ning's Mansion recently, so she understood it.

"Master knows that Qi Xiao is in Nanyang now, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to pretend to be him." Chen Zexuan shook his head, pondered for a moment, and disagreed.

Gu Jinli frowned, "That ......"

Chen Zexuan is the son of the world, whether it is the old emperor or Qi Hao, he must have placed eyeliner in all corners and watched Chen Zexuan's every move closely.

If there is one more person by Leng Buding's side, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

Except for the guards and maidservants, Gu Jinli really couldn't think of what kind of identity she could use to stand by his side for a while.

Rubbing her eyebrows helplessly, Gu Jinli said casually: "Otherwise, I pretended to be a civilian woman, fainted on the ground, and was picked up by my brother and taken home, right?"

"Or, learn from the lonely woman in the countryside and sell herself to bury her father?"

She was just talking nonsense, but she didn't expect Chen Zexuan to nod and say with a smile: "I think you can give it a try."

"Huh?" Gu Jinli looked at Chen Zexuan's eyes with a very surprised look, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother, I'm talking about fun, don't take it seriously."

"I'm not kidding you, I think it's really okay." Chen Zexuan put away his smile and said lightly: "There are people coming and going on the street, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at it, so that no one will be suspicious."

"As for whether you are unconscious, or whether you want to sell yourself to bury your father, decide for yourself."

Gu Jinli only felt that Chen Zexuan was too indulgent of herself, she stared at Chen Zexuan strangely for a moment, and whispered: "Most of the words in the book are orphan girls who have no father and no mother in order to repay their kindness, and they promise each other or something."

"If I just faint and want to pester my brother, I'm afraid it won't be convincing."

"So, you decided to sell your body to bury your father, and promised to do so?" Chen Zexuan's heartbeat suddenly and uncontrollably sped up, and he unconsciously clenched his fingers.

The reason why his heart fluctuated was naturally not the words "selling his body to bury his father".

What a beautiful word that sounds like a pledge by example.

His throat rolled unconsciously a few times, and he didn't know why he was nervous.

Sensing that Chen Zexuan's expression was a little indescribably wrong, Gu Jinli shrugged indifferently: "Brother said that there are also our people in the court."

"It's easy for me to pretend to be the daughter of the minister's family, but in this way, it's easy to confirm the charge of my brother's collusion with the courtiers."

"If my brother doesn't object to me stalking in public to repay my kindness, of course I have no problem with selling myself to bury my father."

Chen Zexuan's eyes moved slightly, and it took a while to hook the corners of his lips, and his tone carried a hint of shallow doting: "Okay."

Pretending to be an orphan girl, the old emperor can't find out why he can't find out.

After all, Gu Jinli is a person who appeared out of thin air, and his face has changed, and no one can recognize him anymore.

"It's not too early, brother, go back and rest." Probably with Chen Zexuan's consent, Gu Jinli was in a good mood, and her big black and white eyes also had smiling stars in them.

Chen Zexuan stood up and said gently, "You also go to bed early."

"Okay." Sending Chen Zexuan out of the door, Gu Jinli climbed into bed.

This night, she no longer thinks about Qi Hao, no longer thinks about the man in black, and no longer thinks about the grievances and grievances over the years.

She slept soundly and peacefully.

Three days later, another surprising but exciting thing happened in Beijing.

That is, early in the morning of the third day of the junior high school, there was a woman in plain clothes kneeling at the door of the old mansion of King Nanyang.

She knelt for a long time, and kept saying that she was looking for Xuan Shizi to repay her kindness, but even the guards couldn't drive her away.

Of course, it's just a matter of repaying the favor, and the woman dared to say that she was ashamed to say that she wanted to make a promise.

The people who passed by liked to watch the excitement the most, so they all surrounded after a while.

The woman in the crowd who loved the prince of Xuan saw that Gu Jinli couldn't kneel, and her words were also scathing: "Hmph, don't look at what your identity is, the toad wants to eat swan meat, it's really self-aware!"

As soon as her words fell, she instantly attracted the echo of the other women.

"But it's not, we are such a fairy-like person, if you want to say that only the fairies in the sky can be worthy of him!"

"Tsk, look at her, there's a disgusting birthmark on the left side of her face, ugly!"

"Ugly monster, you better leave quickly, don't scare the world for a while!"

"If I look so ugly, where do I dare to go out and be scary, I will definitely be ashamed and killed!"

……

Everyone is the same enemy, you say a word, I say a word, Gu Jinli is bruised all over her body, and her body is incomplete.

Fortunately, Gu Jinli was just pretending, and she deliberately made it look like this, so she didn't take the words of others to heart at all.

No matter how much those women scolded her, she didn't feel pain.

However, on the surface, she still has to make a crying posture.

Raising her head, Gu Jinli wiped away a handful of tears, and took the opportunity to pull away the hanging hair, exposing the pink birthmark more obviously to everyone's sight.

Biting her lip, she choked up at the guards who were pushing her, "If it weren't for Xuan Shizi, my father wouldn't be able to settle down."

"Whether it is a cow or a horse, or a slave or a maid, the little woman must repay the world."

"Bang bang", she kowtowed vigorously and begged: "Brother guard, please be accommodating, let me go in and see the son."

At first, when there were few people, she told the guards to make a promise.

And after attracting everyone to come, if she dared to say this again, she might be able to drown her with a mouthful of spittle.

The anger of the crowd was difficult, so she was a little more subtle.

"No, the palace is important, it's not your ......" The guard waved the spear in his hand in front of Gu Jinli, intending to scare her away.

"Shizi, Shizi!" As soon as her eyes lit up, Gu Jinli suddenly got up, pushed away the guards who were blocking in front of her, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Shizi, please stay!"

Chen Zexuan was just about to go down the steps at the gate when he heard the movement, he coldly glanced at the crowd and said unhappily: "Who is making trouble here?"

The guards didn't know that this was just a scene between Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan, so they said very dutifully: "Hui Xuan Shizi, this woman has been clamoring to see you just now."

"Say that you are her benefactor, and she must ...... You have to make a promise! ”

I have to say that the guards guarding the door are still very upright, and in one sentence, they inadvertently pulled a lot of hatred to Gu Jinli.

Sure enough, a wave of cynicism swept over again.

"Shizi, it was you who paid to help Cuicui bury her father, Cuicui has nothing to reciprocate, beg Shizi to let Cuicui stay by your side and serve you!" With lightning speed, Gu Jinli fell to the ground, holding Chen Zexuan's thighs tightly with both hands and not letting go.

Chen Zexuan's body trembled, his face stiffened, his thin lips pursed, and he seemed to be on the verge of an angry outburst.

"Is that you?" Lei Zi on the side recognized Gu Jinli and pointed at her, "Bold, don't let go of the world soon!" ”

Although he scolded in a low voice, he unexpectedly didn't step forward and slapped her away.

Lei Zi's attitude can preliminarily confirm that Gu Jinli said that it is indeed true.

"Shizi, Cuicui lost her mother at the age of five, and her father is gone, please ask Shizi to reward Shizi for a bite to eat!" Gu Jinli's cry was even louder, and she said reluctantly: "Cuicui?
