"Da da da", after the carriage set off from Yunguo, it never stopped.

Although Gu Jinli strongly requested to share a carriage with Qi Hao before getting into the carriage, Qi Hao was extremely cheeky and squeezed into Gu Jinli's carriage, and the reputation was that there was a good one on the road.

Because she was brainwashed again by the "Soul Bell" last night, Gu Jinli's eyes were cold when she looked at Qi Hao today, without the slightest warmth.

Not only that, but she also exudes a cold aura that no one can approach.

This feeling that even the air seemed to be frozen, which made Qi Hao and Ah Qiao feel a little inexplicable.

Just like when he went to Yunguo, Qi Hao still sat opposite Gu Jinli and Ah Qiao.

He quietly looked at Gu Jinli, whose eyebrows were quenched with coldness, and he was puzzled.

Personally, he thinks that after the last time she was assassinated by Zi Mulberry in the woods, she had a better opinion of him.

Even if the hatred between them hadn't dissolved, she still didn't treat him very well, but she wasn't as cold as she was now.

It's rare that the relationship between the two has eased somewhat, what caused her to return to the kind of time she hated him and hated him after a night?

When Qi Hao was looking at Gu Jinli, Gu Jinli was also looking at Qi Hao coldly with her arms crossed.

When he was assassinated, she did not forget the picture of him desperately blocking in front of her.

At the banquet, he held her hand with affection, and she also remembered the gentle and gentle dishes.

It's just that, I don't know why, when she looks at him again, she always feels that somewhere in her heart is empty.

It seems that something is missing, and it feels like the whole heart is not complete.

As for what was missing, she couldn't say for a while.

Frowning, Gu Jinli didn't like the way Qi Hao looked at her.

There is complexity in the gentleness, and there is a contradiction in the lingering that is cautious, wanting to get close and being afraid.

Qi Hao saw Gu Jinli pursing her lips, as if she was about to speak, her eyes moved slightly, waiting for her words.

"Qi Hao." Sure enough, Gu Jinli's cold and crisp voice rang out: "Although you saved me, I also saved you once." ”

"The two of us are worth one life, and this matter will end here."

For the four words "so far", Qi Hao can naturally understand what Gu Jinli means.

No one owes anyone, and no one has to repay anything.

The two are still hostile sides.

Qi Hao's thin lips were pursed, a look of hurt flashed in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "Ah Gu, you and I will never be able to get rid of each other." ”

As if he wanted to speak more thoroughly, Gu Jinli added: "After returning to Beijing, you continue to take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge." ”

"If you have any means, you have the ability to sink a few pounds and taels, and you can use them all."

"Anyway, in the end, either you die or I live."

"You should know, there's no way I'm going to let you go."

The sea of blood and hatred tortured her for more than 700 days and nights, how could she just give up casually?

It's just that Qi Hao always makes a look of affection and affection, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Depressed, uncomfortable.

Qi Hao's body trembled, and his heart also ached.

He took a deep breath and tried to look calm, "Gu, can you tell me what happened?" ”

"Yesterday, we weren't ......"

The three words "Okay" were interrupted by Gu Jinli's cold voice, her face was like frost, and her voice did not carry any emotion, like a ruthless killer: "Qi Hao, we can only be enemies." ”

"That's something that will never change."

Gu Jinli had said similar things many times before, and she really didn't want to repeat them.

Therefore, after finishing speaking, she put her head on Ah Qiao's shoulder, moved her body, and closed her eyes.

Gu Jinli cleared up the relationship again and again, and broke off her thoughts, it stands to reason that Qi Hao should be used to it.

However, in recent days, Gu Jinli's subtle attitude has made him see hope again like a person who has been walking in the desert for a long time.

And when this hope turned into disappointment again, his heart seemed to be thrown to a high place, and then fell fiercely.

Of course, at any time, he never thought of giving up.

However, the taste of frying on a frying pan is very unpleasant.

Slowly clenched his fists, his eyes were gloomy, and then a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's me who is amorous." ”

Gu Jinli's eyebrows moved, but she pretended not to hear.

Turning her face, she turned her back to Qi Hao.

Ah Qiao secretly glanced at Qi Hao, and saw that his expression was sad, and his face was not as radiant as it was at the banquet last night, like a withered leaf, and he lost his life, and he felt a little pitiful.

But after thinking about it, if Gu Jinli really "revived" with Qi Hao, then if Mo Li knew about it, he would definitely not show mercy.

sighed quietly in his heart, and Ah Qiao's mood also became heavy because of Gu Jinli and Qi Hao.

As long as there are people, no matter what news, it will fly around as if it has grown wings.

In the imperial study of Qi Guo, the old emperor asked while criticizing the folds: "I heard that Gu Chengen moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Although he is the king of a country, he is also like ordinary people, and likes to inquire about the gossip of some courtiers.

First, it is convenient to closely monitor the ideological dynamics of the ministers.

Second, it is to satisfy your boring mind and curiosity.

The Eighth Prince sat aside, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Gu Shilang has been moving out of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while. ”

After a pause, he said casually: "Many ministers in the court can see that since the death of Mrs. Gu, the father-son relationship between Gu Xiang and Gu Shilang has been a little tense. ”

The old emperor snorted coldly, and said in a disdainful tone: "Because of a woman, the father and son are out of harmony, they are really promising!" ”

It sounds like the old emperor has forgotten that he and Qi Hao also had an unhappy incident because of Gu Jinli, which shows that people's memories are really unreliable.

The eighth prince sneered in his heart and did not say anything.

"By the way, how about the assassination of the fourth child?" The old emperor suddenly thought of something, put down the brush and asked.

The Eighth Emperor's eyes flashed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Father, I can only find out that the assassin is from the Yun Kingdom, who sent it out, the place is too secretive, it is difficult to find out." ”

Who sent it, the eighth prince had actually found out, but he was unwilling to tell the old emperor.

After all, he was counting on using Zi Mulberry to unite the Yun Kingdom with the outside world.

The old emperor attached so much importance to Qi Hao, if he knew that the assassin was sent by Zisang, then the old emperor would definitely not marry Yun Guo again.

His words are half-truths and half-truths.

Half of it was retained, and half of it was revealed, and that was because the old emperor was not a fool, and he also had a lot of secret guards and eyeliner under him.

The old emperor will send someone to investigate, if he finds out that the mastermind behind the scenes is Zisang, it can only prove that the eighth prince is not capable enough.

The old emperor should not blame the Eighth Emperor, firstly, the Eighth Emperor's performance is too strong, which will arouse the suspicion of the old emperor, and secondly, it can also show the old emperor's ability to control everything.

In terms of calculating people's hearts, today's Eighth Prince is also learning step by step.

The old emperor slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "It's actually from Yunguo? What a guts! ”

The eighth prince handed the old emperor a cup of tea and said gently: "Father, the son thinks that this matter may not be from the hands of the Emperor of Yunguo. ”

"You should also know that there are also a few ambitious unscrupulous ministers in the Yun Kingdom."

"Maybe they don't want to make friends with Yun Guo, so there was an incident."

The old emperor thought about it and felt that what the eighth prince said seemed to have some truth.

The anger on his face eased a little, and he said in a muffled voice: "Okay, wait until your fourth brother comes back in two days." ”

When the Eighth Prince heard this, an undercurrent flashed in his lowered eyes.

Selfishly, he didn't want Qi Hao to come back.

If Qi Hao doesn't come back, then this throne must be his own.

However, Gu Jinli and Qi Hao are on the same journey, and when Qi Hao comes back, Gu Jinli will also come back with him.

Although they have only been separated for six days, the Eighth Prince is thinking about Gu Jinli with his eyes closed.

In particular, the thought that she and Qi Hao might renew their relationship on the road made his heart torment and pain.

Of course, this pain and suffering is self-inflicted.

Because, Gu Jinli didn't know this kind of affection for her.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince suddenly fell silent, the old emperor said in a deep voice: "Concubine De has been in poor health recently, so you can go over to visit him if you have nothing to do." ”

"And King Xuan, although he is abolished, but no matter how you say it, he is my son, your brother, you take care of King Xuan's mansion."

The Eighth Emperor nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Father." ”

The old emperor thought of the three sons under his knees, and one of them was paralyzed in bed, unable to get off the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

Waving his hand, he motioned for the Eighth Prince to step back.

At this time, Father-in-law Jia came in with a happy face: "Your Majesty, great joy!" ”

The eighth prince looked at Gonggong Jia and stopped.

The old emperor saw that Gonggong Jia's face was flushed with excitement, and he was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Mei is happy!" Father-in-law Jia raised the dust in his hand, knelt on the ground and congratulated: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

The old emperor was so happy that he suddenly got up from his chair and almost knocked over the pen and ink on the table.

He walked down in three steps and two steps, grabbed Jia's arm, and his voice trembled slightly: "Xiao Jia, you tell me, is this true?" ”

"Concubine Mei...... She really ......."

The eighth prince looked at the old emperor with tears in his eyes, and he cried with joy, and pricked a thorn in his heart.

Father-in-law Jia stood up and nodded again and again: "Yes, Concubine Mei is pregnant, and it has been more than a month." ”

"Imperial Doctor Wei has just diagnosed it, and there will be no mistake."

The eighth prince thought about it carefully, Concubine Mei was only favored recently, and she was actually a month pregnant, so she should have been pregnant not long after entering the palace.

Concubine Mei is Chen Zexuan and Gu Jinli's person, as an informant, she is happy now, do the two of them know?

Or is this what Chen Zexuan meant?

"Xiao Jia, I really didn't expect that at this age, I would be able to grow old and have children, God really treats me well!" The old emperor wiped the corners of his eyes, caught a glimpse of the eighth prince standing aside, and said, "Little eight, did you hear that?" I have a son again, and you have a brother! ”

The eighth prince quickly adjusted his expression, pulled his lips, and smiled not very sincerely: "Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father." ”

The old emperor didn't bother to care whether the eighth prince was sincere, and at this moment he couldn't wait to tell the world and get everyone's congratulations.

"Haha" laughed and patted the eighth prince on the shoulder, and the old emperor turned his head to Jia Gong and said fairly: "Xiao Jia, spread my will, let Concubine Mei move to my palace from today!" ”

"She's pregnant, she has to be by my side, so I can feel at ease!"

"Yes, the old slave will send someone to clean up Concubine Mei's house." Father-in-law Jia answered, and hurriedly raised his feet to go out, but he heard the old emperor complain in a complaining tone: "What kind of house to clean up, Concubine Mei wants to live with me!" ”

"What the emperor said is that the old slave is confused." Father-in-law Jia nodded and walked out of the house.

The Eighth Prince arched his hand and left the room.

Xiao Xiangzi waited at the door, and saw that the eighth prince came out with a gloomy face, and followed carefully behind him.

After walking out of the courtyard, he whispered tentatively: "Eighth Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”

The eighth prince snorted coldly and said quietly: "Concubine Mei is happy." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Xiangzi listened, opened his mouth, and subconsciously said: "The emperor? ”

After the words came out, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly "snapped" and shook his mouth, and sneered: "The eighth prince is happy and angry, and the slave is just smooth, not hearted." ”

While walking towards the queen's palace, the eighth prince said coldly: "This prince also hopes that it is not his father's species. ”

Of course, Xiao Xiangzi understood the deep meaning hidden in the words of the Eighth Emperor, he rolled his eyes, and smiled, "Hehe", "Eighth Emperor, it doesn't matter if it's the emperor, it's still a question whether this kid can come out." ”

Originally, I wanted to please the Eighth Prince, but I didn't expect that after the Eighth Prince heard it, his face became even more ugly: "Shut up!" How can you say these bastard words? ”

"If you let others listen to it, who will this prince become?!"

Needless to say, Xiao Xiangzi will not let this child have a chance to come out.

However, if you want to think about it, you can't talk about it.

There are so many eyeliners in the palace, I can't imagine that Concubine Mei accidentally has some accidents, even if it has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince, she will rely on his head.

This child, both male and female, is to be removed.

It's just that the Eighth Prince doesn't want to do it himself.

"Yes, the minion knows his mistake." Xiao Xiangzi was so frightened by the cold eyes of the Eighth Emperor that he shrunk his neck, and then followed him into Fengluan Palace.

As Yin Zike's marriage approached, more and more people came to Taifu's mansion to give congratulatory gifts.

In this regard, Yin Zike only let the housekeeper take it, and he never showed up.

Because, this marriage is not what he wants, and everything is handled by the eldest lady, so he can only express his resistance in a silent way.

The housekeeper has been in the house for many years, and he is the best at being exquisite, so even if those who gave gifts couldn't see Yin Zike's face, they never got angry.

After all, the wedding date is urgent, and Yin Zike, as the groom's official, not only has to be busy with marriage, but also has to take care of business, and it is normal to have no time to meet customers.

For Yin Zike's avoidance of guests, the eldest lady was very angry.

It's just that since that day when the two were unhappy because of their marriage, no one has taken the initiative to bow their heads, and the two sides seem to insist on a cold war to the end.

At the table, Yin Zike flipped through the account book, and Yu Guang saw the entourage standing with a silver needle bag, and said without raising his head: "I don't need to prick needles in the future." ”

"Childe." The entourage watched Yin Zike get thinner and thinner in the past few days, and he was much colder, so he couldn't bear to say: "Lin Gongzi explained before that your legs must be pierced with needles and massaged. ”

"Yesterday, you didn't let me give you a massage, if you delay for a long time, the effect will not be obvious."

After hearing the words "Lin Gongzi", Yin Zike's hand paused, his lips pursed slightly, and Gu Jinli's face also appeared in his mind.

After confirming the identity of "Lin Sheng", Yin Zike only felt that his life lit up instantly.

Even if he had the burden of a prosperous family on his shoulders, even if he couldn't walk in a wheelchair, he felt that everything didn't matter.

Because she's back, it's more than all the happy things that add up to make him happy.

She healed his legs, and he felt her attentiveness and caringness.

After a year or two, she returned to the capital again, and changed her face again, Yin Zike could almost guess her thoughts.

She suffered so many grievances back then, and finally jumped off the cliff in despair, and now she must want to get back what others owed her before.

Thinking about their first intersection two years later, it should have been her deliberate.

Although she hasn't revealed anything yet, Yin Zike understands that from the very beginning, she approached him to use him and the Yin family to take revenge.

The Yin family is like a mountain, which makes Yin Zike feel depressed every day.

However, Gu Jinli needed this mountain, so Yin Zike could only grit his teeth and hold on hard to become Gu Jinli's help.

As soon as she spoke, he would not hesitate to offer it with both hands.

Before the eldest lady gave him Zhang Luo and Jiang Qinglan's marriage, under Gu Jinli's treatment, his dead heart came to life, and he also had the idea of wanting to walk on the ground.

He secretly thought about when he could walk around with her like a normal person and stop.

Take her to the backyard to see the flowers, or like two old friends, occasionally come to have fun, play chess together, and compose a poem.

And the marriage with Jiang Qinglan seemed to knock him back to the prototype in an instant.

This matter seems to warn him, even if he is now the head of the Yin family?

He is the only imperial merchant in the capital, so what?

He, Yin Zike, is just a poor worm who only lives for the family.

No one cares if he's happy or not, and no one cares if there's someone in his heart.

He doesn't even have the slightest autonomy, at most he is a tool for the Yin family to make money......

His soul and self-esteem were pressed underground by the eldest lady and his family, so it didn't make sense for his body to stand up.

After all, under the premise that the current tyranny of the eldest lady cannot be changed, he will not have much dignity standing than sitting in a wheelchair.

Qi Hao and Lin Sheng were assassinated on the way to Yunguo, and such a big thing is no longer a secret news.

At first, Yin Zike was very worried, but later sent someone to investigate, and he was relieved to know that they were okay.

Thinking that Gu Jinli would come back in a few days, but he was about to get married in three days, his heart was even more heavy and sad.

Seeing that Yin Zike didn't know what he was thinking, the entourage didn't dare to say much, so he had to continue to wait patiently beside him.

After a long while, Yin Zike slowly raised his head and said "um".

Seeing Yin Zike nodding, the entourage bent down to roll up his trouser legs, and said happily: "Eldest Prince, when Young Master Lin comes back, let her take a good look at you." ”

"You said you felt a little stronger the last time, and I think if it's good soon, you can personally go to meet the bride on your wedding day!"

Feeling that Yin Zike's legs, which were still relaxed just now, immediately stiffened, and the entourage instantly realized that he had just said something wrong.

Knowing that his son-in-law is unwilling to this marriage, he still can't open which pot to mention, this is really damned!

Swallowing his saliva, the entourage looked at Yin Zike timidly, and whispered: "Childe......"

Yin Zike's face was expressionless, he glanced at him quietly, and said in a light tone: "It's okay, this marriage is already a sure thing, and it won't exist because you don't mention it." ”

"And I can't run away from it all the time."

Saying to himself, he knocked his leg a few times, and then laughed gloomily: "Although this leg has feelings, it can't walk and ride a horse." ”

"On the day of the wedding, I had to let someone else replace me."

If the person he wants to marry is the woman he loves, as long as she doesn't dislike him, then he will climb and climb to pick her up.

However, whether it was before or now, he is in a wheelchair and is not good at walking, which makes him feel that he is not worthy of that person.

Generally speaking, the groom official himself goes to greet the relatives, but there are also some groom officials who are weak and sick, so they will send their cronies to greet them, which is not unusual.

While pricking Yin Zike's needle, the attendant changed the topic awkwardly and said, "Childe, don't look at the account book these days, and rest well is the most important thing." ”

Yin Zike looked at the dense needles on his legs, shook his head, and didn't speak again.

On the carriage back to Qi Kingdom, until it was dark, Gu Jinli really didn't say a word to Qi Hao again.

Of course, Qi Hao will not be bored and take the initiative to speak.

The two of them, like two ice sculptures, each holding their own arms, ignoring the other.

The only difference is that one has his eyes open and the other has his eyes closed and he is pretending to sleep.

Ah Qiao is sandwiched in the middle, the one who is the most uncomfortable.

"Da da da", except for the non-stop sound of horses' hooves, and then the sound of Du Jiang waving his whip, in short, the carriage was unusually quiet.

This tormented moment did not end until the evening.

Last time, I took a small road, so I encountered the ambush of Zi Sang.

On the way back, they took the main road, on the one hand, it was safer, and on the other hand, they would pass by some inns, and it would be more convenient to stay and eat.

With a "huh", Du Jiang tightened the carriage and asked, "Lord Wang, there is an inn in front, do we want to go in and rest for the night?" ”

Gu Jinli heard the movement and finally opened her eyes.

She lifted the curtain and glanced at the inn, which did not look like a black shop in the countryside, and before Qi Hao could respond to Du Jiang, she stood up, and with a long step, she was about to get off the carriage.

Who knows, after sitting for a long time, and she has always maintained a movement, so her legs and feet are numb, and she leans forward and falls to the ground.

Qi Hao's eyes were quick and he hurriedly helped her.

"Hmm......"

The lips of the two coincidentally pressed together, and the two pairs of eyes invariably wrote consternation.
