Chapter 449: She Won the Bet
Also that night, Chen Zexuan also heard a surprising news from Lei Zi's mouth.
That is, Princess Zisang is not dead at all.
This assassination was completely directed and acted by herself.
Hooking his lips, Chen Zexuan sneered: "I didn't expect her to dare to 'cheat death' so much in order to escape from marriage, it seems that this son really underestimated her before." ”
"Shizi, do you want to pass this news on to the Emperor of Yunguo?" Lei Zi thought for a moment and asked.
Chen Zexuan narrowed his narrow eyes, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Yun Yan's marriage failed, it's not bad." ”
"You sent someone to send a message to the old emperor of Yunguo, saying that this assassination was done by Qi Hao."
After a pause, he added: "There is no basis for words, you should know what to do, right?" ”
Of course, Lei Zi understands that just like wrongfully accusing someone of stealing something, if you want to frame a crime on someone, you must "get all the stolen goods".
Zisang's assassination was clearly her own doing, but Chen Zexuan insisted on carrying this black cauldron.
The old emperor of Yunguo is not a fool, for such a big matter, he can't just listen to one-sided words, so he has to have witnesses or physical evidence.
Witness, find a "party" among the Praetorian Guards who transported the bodies of Zisang and Ye Xuanqing back to Yunguo, or catch an assassin, and after the assassin was tortured, he confided in Qi Hao, the mastermind behind the scenes.
Physical evidence is simpler, and it can be forged with human evidence.
Lei Zi secretly sighed in his heart that Chen Zexuan's move was even more ruthless than the original plan.
Originally, he wanted to use the Zisang marriage to deal with Qi Guo, but now, I am afraid that this person's evidence and physical evidence have been sent to the old emperor of Yun State, and the old emperor of Yun State will be angry and will target Qi Hao and Qi Guo.
Although Zisang is just a princess, and she doesn't care what her status is in the old emperor's heart, but she died in the hands of Qi Hao, that is an obvious provocation, naked hatred, and a straightforward slap in the face of Yunguo!
This breath, the old emperor should not be able to swallow it.
Send someone to slander in the old emperor's ear, if the old emperor of Yunguo can directly send someone to lead his troops to attack Qi, it will be better.
This can save a lot of time compared to the original plan of "internal and external cooperation".
The most powerful army of Qi is the Dongshan military camp under the leadership of Qi Hao, and when the two countries go to war, Qi Hao will definitely take the Dongshan military camp to meet the battle.
As long as Qi Hao is gone, then the capital will be "empty", and they will not be allowed to do whatever they want?
"Yes, my subordinates know." Lei Zi sighed silently, arched his hand, and planned to leave, but he heard Chen Zexuan say: "By the way, the matter of Zisang's fraudulent death must not be revealed." ”
"Especially Sheng'er, I can't let her know."
When he said this, Chen Zexuan was selfish.
Of course, his heart is also very conflicted and struggling.
If Gu Jinli didn't know the truth about Zisang's assassination, then she would, like most people, think that Qi Hao was a murderer.
There are two consequences of such a "misunderstanding".
First, Gu Jinli, like many ordinary women, thinks that this is a manifestation of Qi Hao's unswerving loyalty to love, and is moved by Qi Hao's deep affection.
Second, it is the complete opposite, and they will feel that Qi Hao's behavior is extremely paranoid, killing another innocent person in order to love one.
This kind of love is too heavy and too terrible.
If Gu Jinli knew that Zisang was cheated to death, and this assassination had nothing to do with Qi Hao, then the above two guesses would not exist, but Chen Zexuan was worried that Gu Jinli would sympathize with him because Qi Hao carried the black cauldron, and he couldn't bear it, or he was distressed.
After a short ideological struggle, Chen Zexuan still decided not to tell Gu Jinli the truth.
He held on to the psychology of luck, hoping that Gu Jinli could regard Qi Hao as a ruthless and ruthless "paranoid".
In this way, Gu Jinli was also frightened by Qi Hao and stayed away from him.
Although Lei Zi guessed Chen Zexuan's intention to frame Qi Hao, he didn't figure out what he was thinking about hiding from Gu Jinli.
Anyway, he did what the master told him to do, nodded, and walked out of the room.
In the courtyard that the Eighth Prince bought for Gu Chengen, Gu Chengen was hugging the butterfly and pouring wine into his mouth.
Qi Die couldn't tell whether Gu Chengen was happy or unhappy, so she had to sit quietly.
To say happy, but he drank glass after glass of stuffy wine.
To say that he was unhappy, but he chuckled a few times inexplicably from time to time.
He came back from the rainy night that night, and still hasn't said where he went or who he met.
It was just that at noon the next day, many people suddenly appeared outside the cave, and then they escorted her and Gu Chengen to this secluded courtyard.
Qi Die thought that this courtyard was also an industry in Gu Chengen's name, but Gu Chengen denied it.
He is like an earthworm, which lies in the middle of the day and emerges at night.
At night, after she went to sleep, he slipped out.
When she wakes up in the morning, she will be in bed again.
This made Qi Die have an illusion that Gu Chengen never left last night.
After asking Gu Chengen about the origin of this courtyard and where he went at night, Gu Chengen only said that he was going to see a friend, and the courtyard was also temporarily borrowed from others.
When Gu Chengen gained power, he was pretentious, arrogant and indifferent, and there seemed to be no confidant and friend who could sacrifice his life in the court.
If this is an ordinary person, he really wouldn't dare to harbor this felony who should have been killed by the old emperor.
Qi Die knew that Gu Chengen didn't tell the truth, so he mentioned this in his creed to Chen Zexuan, so that Chen Zexuan could check the owner of this courtyard.
Seeing that Gu Chengen was already five or six points drunk, Qi Die took the opportunity to ask, "Chengen, what's the matter, are you so happy?" ”
Gu Chengen raised his hand to clasp Qi Die's chin, gave a kiss fiercely, and said with a charming look in his eyes: "Die'er, Zi Sang is dead, as long as Yun Guo and Qi Guo go to war, then Qi Hao will not be far from death!" ”
Qi Die was stunned, but she didn't expect Gu Chengen to hit this idea.
She took down the wine glass in Gu Chengen's hand, then put his arm on her shoulder, and while helping him to walk in the direction of the bed, she deliberately mourned: "Lord Ning is dead, so what?" ”
"We've already been beheaded, and we still can't show our heads in the future."
"Butterfly." After Gu Chengen was placed on the bed, he closed his eyes and let Qi Die remove the clothes on his body, and said with a smug smile: "I...... As soon as Qi Hao died, the eighth prince was ...... He will be able to ascend the throne as emperor logically. ”
"When the time comes, I'm ...... I ......"
The wine came up, and he spoke with a big tongue.
The latter words, Qi Die couldn't hear clearly, but her heart instantly brightened.
Indeed, now except for the Eighth Prince, no one can compete with Qi Hao anymore.
After all, with the help of Chen Zexuan, the Eighth Prince has now become a hot sweetheart.
Minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee, now in addition to the Ning Wang Party, how many people are there who do not bother with the Eighth Prince?
It is true that the Eighth Prince is a big tree, but it is not a big tree with deep roots.
According to Chen Zexuan's ambition, after overthrowing Qi Hao, will he still keep the Eighth Prince?
Once the Eighth Prince is uprooted, what will happen to Gu Chengen?
I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Die suppressed the thousands of thoughts in her heart, bit her lip and squatted down to take off Gu Chengen's shoes and socks.
Overnight, the news that Qi Hao sent someone to assassinate Zisang spread like wings.
The people of Qi couldn't believe that Prince Ning, who was wise and martial, and had a good reputation and prestige, would do such a murderous thing for a "little male pet".
The people of Yunguo couldn't believe it, they were arrogant and domineering, and the princess who had lived for many years like a man was gone.
Although Princess Zisang did not have the demeanor of a princess at all, and her temper was very short-tempered, she was the only princess of their Yun Kingdom no matter what, and she was killed by the prince of Qi Kingdom, which is simply too deceitful!
The public opinion of the two countries is obviously biased towards Yunguo, which is extremely unfavorable to Qi Hao.
The students in the market criticized Qi Hao, and the storyteller in the tea shop also arranged him as a murderous maniac with a dark psychology.
Qi Hao was indifferent to the comments of the outside world, but the old emperor and the queen mother couldn't sit still.
The letter of condolence written by the old emperor of Qi to the old emperor of Yunguo at the first time sank into the sea.
The Queen Mother sent someone to summon Qi Hao into the palace, but Qi Hao didn't even go.
Because, Qi Hao didn't even have to think about it to know what the Queen Mother was going to ask.
Instead of wasting precious time on explanations, it is better to spend on training.
After all, the situation is tense, and Qi Guo will not give up this time.
Therefore, even at night, Qi Hao did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion at all, and lived directly in the barracks.
Although the people of the entire Ning Wangfu also had doubts in their hearts, because of the strict rules of the palace, everyone kept silent, and the "clouds and light winds" on the surface were actually fried in their hearts.
Two days later, on July 13, Princess Zisang's body was returned to the Yunguo Imperial Palace.
After seeing the human and material evidence deliberately arranged by Chen Zexuan, the old emperor of Yunguo was furious, threatened to kill his daughter, and with the anger of thunder and lightning, he wrote a letter of war to the old emperor of Qiguo.
On July 16, three days later, war will be waged against the kingdom.
Such an important war book, after five or six horses were exhausted, was delivered to the old emperor of Qi in the evening of the same day.
The old emperor of Qi was shocked, he didn't expect the old emperor of Yun to be so impulsive, so he wrote another letter and sent someone to send it over.
The great war was imminent, and the messenger did not dare to delay for a moment.
Eight horses were strangled, and at noon the next day, the letter reached the old emperor of Yunguo.
However, the letter that carried the sincere explanation of the old emperor of the Qi Kingdom, the old emperor of the Yun Kingdom didn't even look at it, and directly waved his hand and tore it up.
After angrily denouncing the hypocrisy of the old emperor of the Qi State, on the afternoon of the 14th, the old emperor of the Yun State sent troops to the border between the two countries.
The princess is dead, and there will be a war tomorrow, so the soldiers of the Yun Kingdom have the courage to harass and slaughter the people of the Qi Kingdom.
When the old emperor of Qi learned about it, he was furious and decided not to endure it anymore.
First, the matter of Zisang has nothing to do with Qi Hao.
Qi Hao became a sinner for no reason, and he didn't know who he was responsible for.
He is the one who will inherit the country of Qi in the future, and now that the reputation is so bad, how can he "win the hearts of the people" in the future?
Second, he dared to harass the people of the country, saying that he couldn't wait to ask for marriage at the beginning, that is, he had a bad heart and planned to take the opportunity to make trouble!
Without saying a word, the old emperor of Qi also made a decision and sent Qi Hao to set off tomorrow to prepare for war!
The news of the development of the two countries made the people on both sides excited and excited again like boiling bubbles on a hot pot.
Objectively and fairly, Yun Guo's military strength is inferior to Qi Guo.
The reason why the soldiers and people of Yunguo are so enthusiastic may be for the dignity of the country, it may be that they feel that these years have been too dull and boring, or they may think that their country is too strong and plan to annex the Qi country.
And Qi Guo, although the people privately think that Qi Hao's killing of Zi Sang is wrong, but since Yun Guo has come to provoke, there is no reason not to fight.
Besides, with Qi Hao, the god of war, they have nothing to fear.
Therefore, this war is really in the spotlight.
After Qi Hao received the old emperor's order to let him lead the troops to the expedition tomorrow, he still didn't have much reaction, after all, the war had long been within his expectations, so he just made a faint "um" sound.
However, tonight, after he had finished instructing Liang Kuan and Qin Feng on some important matters, he returned to King Ning's mansion.
Tomorrow is about to set off to fight, Qi Hao only has one night to get along with Gu Jinli, so naturally he is going to Fuyuan Academy.
The table was full of medical books that Gu Jinli was reading, and Aiyue tilted her head and said while helping her clean it up: "Master, Yunguo dares to start a war against us, this is simply beyond our strength, hitting a stone with an egg!" ”
Gu Jinli sat in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair with a comb, pursing her lips, and she said in a sullen voice: "Zisang is the princess of Yun Kingdom, since Yun Guo has determined that people are killed by Qi Hao, it is natural to seek justice." ”
Although Gu Jinli knew that Zi Sang's death had nothing to do with Qi Hao, but now that there was a problem with Yun Qi's marriage, she wanted to know what Chen Zexuan and Mo Li's next plan was.
However, since the Zisang accident, Chen Zexuan has never come to Xin'er.
Just after dinner, when she was going to go out of the mansion to see Chen Zexuan in the old mansion of King Nanyang, Ah Qiao sent her a creed.
On that creed, it was Mo Li's task, and he asked Gu Jinli to get the phoenix blood jade back no matter what means he used.
As for the war between the two countries and the post-war situation in Beijing, Mo Li did not say a word.
Judging from Mo Li's emphasis on the phoenix blood jade, this jade pendant must be unusual, it should be more than just a relic left by Feng Se, there must be other deep meanings.
It's a pity that Gu Jinli doesn't know.
In addition, Mo Li can't wait for Qi Hao to come back, does it also imply that Qi Hao may not be able to come back?
That's why he is so anxious to let Gu Jinli get the jade pendant in his hands before Qi Hao goes to the battlefield?
Or, Mo Li wanted to take advantage of Qi Hao's departure from Beijing to fight outside, and use this jade pendant to do something big?
From beginning to end, Gu Jinli didn't think about what she wanted to do through Mo Li, and this time it was the same.
Qi Hao has stayed in the barracks for the past few days, not to mention leaving tomorrow, so Gu Jinli thought that maybe he wouldn't come back tonight.
However, she thought that with his affection for her, he might be back tonight.
With uncertainty in mind, she decided to take a gamble.
If Qi Hao didn't return to the palace tonight, it would be a big deal that she would get up early tomorrow and arrive at the barracks before Qi Hao left with his troops, and find a way to get the jade pendant back.
Still, she won the bet.
From the dressing mirror, she saw Qi Hao standing at the door, and Aiyue who retreated with her neck bent.
After combing her hair, Gu Jinli's eyes dimmed, and then returned to normal.
Aiyue closed the door intimately and went back to her room.
While thinking that Qi Hao really has true love for Gu Jinli, there will be a war tomorrow, and she will come over to meet tonight, but she can't help but fantasize in her mind that when lonely men and widows live in the same room, will something unexpected happen.
After all, according to the routine in Cha Cha Rabbit's previous script, tonight must be a night of passion!
The more she thought about it, the redder Aizuki's face became.
Hexiang saw that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly asked if she was sick.
Aiyue shook her head again and again and put her head under the quilt.
Gu Jinli watched Qi Hao slowly approach, turned around, and although her tone sounded as cold as ever, Qi Hao could feel that her eyes were much softer: "It's so late, the prince is not in the barracks, what are you doing in my courtyard?" ”
He was wearing only a white shirt, and his hair was all loose behind him.
With red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, even if it is not the original face that captivates the country and the city, as long as it is her in her bones and soul, Qi Hao feels that the person in front of her is a fairy descending to earth.
"Ah Gu." called in a low voice, and Qi Hao said, "I'm leaving tomorrow." ”
Gu Jinli lowered her eyes, and rarely said coldly: "I know." ”
If you want to get the jade pendant in your hands, what else can you do except put on a gentle coat and pull out the hard thorns on your body?
It's just that she has always been cold to Qi Hao, and if she suddenly becomes enthusiastic, I'm afraid it will be extremely abnormal.
Therefore, it is better to be cold and cold first, and then gradually work your way.
Qi Hao hesitated for a moment, took a few steps forward, then squatted down and gently held Gu Jinli's hand, "Ah Gu, I'm not in the capital, you should be careful." ”
"I will keep Qin Feng, if you have anything, just look for him."
Qin Feng has been training in the military camp for so long, after he heard that the two countries were going to war, he originally planned to follow Qi Hao to the battlefield with great expectations, but after hearing that Qi Hao asked him to stay in Beijing to protect Gu Jinli, it was like a frosted eggplant, and it wilted in an instant.
Gu Jinli's hand was a little cold, and he was held by Qi Hao's big hand: "You take Du Jiang and Qin Feng together." ”
After a pause, her expression was slightly unnatural, and her voice was a little quieter: "They are your right-hand men." ”
Although her tone was very flat, Qi Hao felt that she was caring about herself, and couldn't help but feel happy on her face, and said further inch by inch: "Ah Gu, presumably Yunguo is going to work hard to the end this time, I don't know how long this battle will take." ”
"It could be soon, or it could be delayed for a while."
"You...... Don't do anything, just wait for me to come back in the palace, okay? ”
Gu Jinli understood what Qi Hao meant, that is, before he came back, don't make small moves behind his back, and don't have dealings with Chen Zexuan and the Eighth Prince.
What plans to make, wait until he returns.
If it was before, how could Gu Jinli agree?
Not only will he not agree, but he will also run Qi Hao out, which makes him unhappy.
But now, for the sake of the jade pendant, she can only make herself docile and well-behaved like a sheep.
She was silent for a moment, then nodded as if struggling.
For Gu Jinli's cooperation tonight, Qi Hao really had an indescribable joy.
He couldn't help but bow his head and put a kiss on Gu Jinli's forehead, then stood up, touched the top of Gu Jinli's head with his hand, and said gently: "Ah Gu, it's not too early, you go to bed early, I'll leave first." ”
Gu Jinli raised her head, and there was a murmuring stream of water in her big eyes, as if she wanted to speak, and it seemed to condense into a complaining water vapor, which made Qi Hao feel a little sad in her heart: "Ah Gu? ”
Her eyes became more and more red, and Gu Jinli didn't speak, but just looked at Qi Hao with such heart-wrenching eyes.
"Ah Gu ......" didn't know which tendon was wrong, Qi Hao leaned over, picked up Gu Jinli's lips, and kissed it.
Gu Jinli's body trembled, and her hand subconsciously pulled out of Qi Hao's hand and pressed against his chest.
However, I don't know if it touched the jade pendant on his chest, or his strong heartbeat, so that she didn't continue to push Qi Hao's movements.
Qi Hao's kiss was gentle with a deep reluctance.
The separation was imminent, thinking that she would leave herself in this smoky capital, how could he feel at ease?
What's more, there are so many men who are eyeing her, once he leaves Beijing, those people don't know how to plan to snatch her away from him!
As long as he thought that after he came back, Gu Jinli would slip away from him again, Qi Hao deepened the kiss.
He hugged her hand very hard, and he wanted to rub him into the depths of his soul through this kiss.
It is best to take her with you when you go to the battlefield, take her with you for three meals a day, and take her with you when you sleep and dream.
Don't be separated from her, and be together forever in the morning and twilight.
Between lovers, everything is an aphrodisiac.
A look, a hug, a gentle kiss.
Added up then and now, Gu Jinli has been kissed by Qi Hao many times, but she still hasn't mastered the essentials of ventilation.
Moreover, coupled with the fact that she has been leaning up her neck, her head is a little dizzy, not to mention, and even her neck is sore.
Holding the clothes on Qi Hao's chest in her hands, she used it to support her soft body.
Perhaps realizing that Gu Jinli's action was a little difficult, Qi Hao let go of his mouth, and his breath was also very unstable.
He picked up Gu Jinli horizontally and strode towards the bed.
When Gu Jinli reacted, her person had already been laid flat on the bed by Qi Hao.
His eyes were scorching, and there were two flames suppressed in Qi Hao's peach blossom eyes.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her ruddy face, and his voice was hoarse and charming: "Ah Gu...... Can I stay tonight? ”
Gu Jinli is no longer an ignorant little girl, she naturally knows what it means to stay.
Looking at Qi Hao in a daze, she wanted to refuse, but the beating heart in her chest and the restless surging blood in her body were silently shouting, so that she couldn't open her mouth for a while.
Slowly closing her eyes, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Qi Hao's neck.
