"Xiao Jia." The old emperor gave Duke Jia a look, and Duke Jia understood, immediately clapped his hands, and motioned for the song and dance to resume the game.

Under the joy of singing and dancing and the staggered laughter, everyone gradually forgot Xiyue's embarrassing episode.

Shen Biyun's leg is healed, and this time he came to the palace banquet with Shen Minghui.

She has disappeared in the circle of nobles in Beijing for so long, and it is inevitable that she will have some difficult feelings to fit in.

Fortunately, Jiang Qinglan, an old friend, is still by her side as before.

Pouring a cup of tea for Shen Biyun, she sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect so many things to happen recently. ”

Shen Biyun nodded, and seemed to have matured a lot: "But isn't it, Yin Suxi is dead, and Yin Zike has become a cripple again, tsk......t"

"There are no flowers that are red for a hundred days, and there is also Concubine Gu who was favored by Prince Ning before, and it is not the same now......" Jiang Qinglan looked at Yin Suwan, who was sitting dignified and elegant next to Qi Hao, with a complicated expression.

The reason why Shen Biyun was kicked and injured by Qi Hao last time was mostly because of Yin Suwan's instigation.

Now that I think about it, I was really stupid at that time, and I was used as a gun by Yin Suwan, and I couldn't confess to her.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Biyun snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You also said that flowers are not red for a hundred days, how long Yin Suwan's flower can bloom, it's not certain!" ”

"Sister Biyun, don't underestimate Princess Ning, this time is different from the past, she is not only the lord of the Summer Palace now, but the child in her belly is also the emperor's own little prince." Jiang Qinglan shook her head and disagreed with Shen Biyun's point of view: "This identity and status, except for the concubines and princesses in the palace, is really comparable to all the women in Beijing." ”

"Sister, you can't say it too early." Shen Biyun rolled her eyes and said faintly: "That piece of meat in the stomach has to be a boy to be the son of the world!" Moreover, it is also a question whether or not they can be born smoothly. ”

"Sister, don't talk nonsense." Unexpectedly, Shen Biyun would dare to say such a thing, Jiang Qinglan quickly pulled her sleeve and glanced around vigilantly.

Shen Biyun glanced at Jiang Qinglan with slanted eyes and sneered.

After three rounds of drinking, the old emperor looked at the eighth prince who had been silent, and sighed: "Little Eight has grown up and calmed down a lot. ”

The Eighth Emperor's eyes flashed slightly, he looked up at the old emperor, pursed his lips and smiled.

This smile, in the eyes of the old emperor, is still as simple as before.

But Qi Hao felt it, the desolation and heaviness behind the smile of the Eighth Prince.

Looking away, Qi Hao remembered himself many years ago.

is also in the endless dark palace fight, overcoming obstacles and fighting all the way to this point.

And Xiaohachi is going through a painful and tenacious transformation process......

After getting through it, there will be nothing to hurt him in the future......

During the entire palace banquet, Qi Hao did not pay attention to Yin Suwan.

If Gu Jinli sat aside, she would definitely be all kinds of shh

But in the face of Yin Suwan, Qi Hao was not even in the mood to act.

Of course, if Qi Hao doesn't talk to Yin Suwan, it doesn't mean that Yin Suwan will sit still.

"Lord Wang, you've drunk too much wine, let's drink some tea." Yin Suwan naturally took the wine glass out of Qi Hao's hand and replaced it with tea, her voice was as gentle as water.

If Qi Hao is the man next to him, his bones will surely be soft.

It's just that he's a rock.

A stubborn stone that can only bloom if it is watered by Gu Jinli.

Raising his eyes coldly, Qi Hao's thin lips opened lightly: "Put it down." ”

Yin Suwan paused, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the queen looking this way, so she tried to pull the corners of her mouth, nodded, and put down the cup.

From the queen's point of view, only half of Yin Suwan's face with the corners of her lips raised was seen.

Although I can't see what state Qi Hao and Yin Suwan are in now, they seem to have at least "respectful of each other" on the surface, and it seems that the relationship is not so bad.

Although Yin Suwan felt uncomfortable, she confirmed at least one thing.

That is, in Qi Hao's heart, there is still a deep prejudice against himself.

In other words, he accepted the porridge he sent over that day, just to make it for Gu Jinli to see.

Hehe, it doesn't matter.

Since she had already guessed that Qi Hao was using herself, there was no need for her to worry about it!

Take advantage of each other, take what you take, if anyone pays sincerely, it is really a complete stupid hat!

Thinking like this, Yin Suwan's mood was much better.

In fact, according to the old emperor's current physical condition, he was not suitable to attend the banquet.

After all, there are so many noisy people, and he has to accept the toasts of the courtiers, which is not conducive to the recovery of his body.

However, in order to lure out Chen Zexuan, he still ignored the poison in his body and let Jia's father-in-law do it.

Now, the old emperor's goal has been achieved, and he was helped back by Gonggong Jia after half an hour when he was tired.

As soon as the old emperor left, the queen mother and the empress also left.

Not long after, the courtiers also dispersed.

Qi Hao looked at the gradually empty hall, holding the wine glass and not moving.

After so many banquets, it seems that every banquet always has to have some turmoil to be considered "complete".

And this time, except for Xiyue's nosebleed, which is not even a problem, it is really a calm abnormality.

Probably, most of the turmoil at the previous banquet was aimed at Gu Jinli.

Now that Gu Jinli is not in attendance, those who are bent on getting rid of her behind their backs will not have a chance to do it.

Qi Hao sat still, and Yin Suwan naturally couldn't get up first.

Chen Zexuan passed by Qi Hao and stopped in front of him.

"Lord Ning, long time no see." As soon as the fan was unfurled, he smiled magnificently: "I didn't have a chance to talk to you just now, how are you doing?" ”

For Qi Hao, Chen Zexuan has always greeted him with a smile.

However, Qi Hao is lukewarm to him, and sometimes he can even be regarded as "cold as frost".

Standing up, Qi Hao said lightly: "Seeing that Xuan Shizi looks so good, you don't have to think about it to know that you must be at ease in Nanyang." ”

"Hehe, this son is not like the prince who is busy with court affairs all day long." Chen Zexuan hooked his lips, his eyes fell on Yin Suwan on the side, and said meaningfully: "Moreover, this son has not yet got married, and he does not have to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, so he naturally lives a leisurely life." ”

Hearing what Chen Zexuan meant, Qi Hao squinted his eyes, and said after a while: "I hope that the prince will have a smooth life in Beijing!" ”

Chen Zexuan's eyes darkened, "Borrow the auspicious words of King Ning!" ”

The two met their eyes and clash invisibly.

Qi Hao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Yin Suwan followed closely behind Qi Hao, for fear that he would be unhappy and let the coachman drive the carriage away and leave her behind.

After the two got into the carriage, Yin Suwan secretly looked at Qi Hao's cold face, and couldn't help but hold her breath and lower her eyes.

The two were silent all the way and returned to King Ning's mansion.

After getting out of the carriage, Qi Hao walked in front, Yin Suwan folded her hands in front of her waist, and followed behind and walked dignifiedly.

The people who came and went saluted her in unison, and looked at the smile on her lips, and knew that through this banquet, her relationship with Qi Hao must have increased one step further.

In Qiu Ju's courtyard, Xue Qin said cautiously: "Master, the princess and the prince have returned, and looking at her smug appearance, you can know what the prince's attitude is towards her." ”

Mrs. Liu clutched her handkerchief, her eyes cold and piercing.

At the same time, in the Fuyuan Courtyard, Aiyue saw that Gu Jinli was not sleepy, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said tentatively: "Master, didn't you regret not seeing Miss Lin last time?" Let's go to Yoyo Valley tomorrow, shall we? ”

"Lin Sheng......" Gu Jinli remembered that she went to see Lin Sheng last time, and she didn't tell Qi Hao, but she was assassinated on the way, and she was rescued by the masked man.

Qi Hao hugged her nervously at that time, thinking about it, it was really a feeling of being lost for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave early tomorrow." ”

The house is full of smoke and miasma, and she doesn't want to stay for a moment, so she simply goes to Youyou Valley to live for a few days.

Anyway, Qi Hao let Qin Feng follow him secretly, and Qi Hao knew his whereabouts well, so there was no need to leave him a note on the table like last time.

The reason why Aiyue wants to go to Youyou Valley is that on the one hand, she really wants to accompany Gu Jinli to relax, and on the other hand, she wants to ask Lin Sheng, why Chacha Rabbit hasn't published a new book for so long, and she is a little bored waiting.

Moreover, as her idol, Chacha Rabbit has not heard of her on the market for a long time, and the fan group has not been able to find any trace of her, which has to make Aiyue, a senior fan, very panicked.

Seeing Gu Jinli agree, her eyes sparkled: "Then the slave will go and pack up her things!" ”

I haven't seen Lin Sheng for so long, so I have to bring some gifts.

But thinking of Xiaohong, Aiyue asked again: "Master, do you want to take Xiaohong with you?" ”

Gu Jinli thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Take it, let Hexiang take care of her." ”

"Great!" Aiyue was happy to be in a state of dancing, and after covering Gu Jinli with the quilt, she left the room.

Gu Jinli looked at Aiyue's cheerful back, shook her head and chuckled.

Her smile was a little lonely and a little envious.

If she is in love, troubles come and go quickly.

With a long sigh, she turned her face to the wall.

In Qi Hao's absence, it seemed that only by facing the wall did she not have to remind herself that she was alone on the empty bed.

She can fool herself into thinking that Qi Hao is behind her.

Or, lie to yourself that Qi Hao will come back after finishing his business.

It's a pity that every time she tosses and turns, she is the only one in this empty room......

Clasp her arms tight, she thinks it will be warmer.

On the second day, early in the morning, Gu Jinli took two maids to Youyou Valley in a carriage.

As soon as they walked on the front foot, Xueqin immediately excitedly told Mrs. Liu the news.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately muttered in Xueqin's ear.

Xueqin answered and hurriedly ran to Yixin Courtyard.

On the carriage, Gu Jinli lifted the curtain, looked at the beautiful natural scenery outside, and suddenly brightened up.

Sure enough, once she left the Ning Palace, her mood would unconsciously relax.

It seems that she really shouldn't stay in the palace for a long time.

Breathing in the fresh air and feeling the breeze on her face, she closed her eyes and finally raised the corners of her lips.

Hexiang and Aiyue saw that Gu Jinli's brows were finally relaxed after frowning for a few days, and they were also happy in their hearts.

Since Xiaohong entered King Ning's Mansion, this seems to be the first time she has come out.

It stretched its neck, flapped its four little short legs, wagged its tail, and looked out the window with a curious expression.

After the carriage had walked for a while, Xiaohong's ears suddenly stood up, and she looked vigilant.

"Xiaohong, what's wrong?" Gu Jinli noticed Xiaohong's abnormality, touched its head, and wondered.

Xiaohong put her hands on the back of Gu Jinli's hands, and she didn't know what to call for in her mouth.

Aiyue frowned and pulled Xiaohong's tail: "Little thing, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Little Red wagged her tail and screamed even harder.

Its voice was a little hurried, a little sharp, as if it had spotted some danger.

"Master!" He Xiang heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and subconsciously opened the curtain, only to see a group of black-clothed people chasing after her.

They had swords in their hands, and at first glance they were not good at what they came.

"Someone is chasing you!" Hexiang's face was a little white, and her throat was tight.

Gu Jinli looked out the window, her face changed, and she immediately said to the coachman outside: "Quick, hurry up!" ”

"Yes, Concubine Gu!" The coachman sensed that something was wrong, raised his whip, and threw it at the horse's buttocks.

The horse was in pain, picked up his hooves and ran quickly.

"Master, what should I do?" Aiyue remembered that she had encountered an assassination on the way to Yoyo Valley last time, so she had a small face and was about to cry: "Why did we meet assassins again?" Who the hell is doing it to us three times and twice? ”

Gu Jinli clenched her fists, bit her lip and said coldly: "It's not Yin Suwan or Mrs. Liu, who else will there be besides them?!" ”

Sitting up straight, she glanced out again, trying to calm herself: "Don't panic, with Qin Feng here, we won't be fine." ”

When she said this, she was just comforting Hexiang and Aiyue.

After all, there was Qin Feng last time, but she didn't almost die?

As soon as Gu Jinli finished speaking, Aiyue told the truth, "Master, Qin Feng doesn't have a big deal!" ”

Gu Jinli moved her lips, quickly turning her brain, thinking of a way.

The other party was riding a horse and had a weapon in his hand, and in terms of numbers, he must have more than Qin Feng and the guards in the shadows.

If Qin Feng and the guards dragged the assassin, would she and the two maids be able to run away?

"Lord...... Master, the fight has begun. While Gu Jinli was pondering, Qin Feng had already led people to fight the assassins.

"Whoosh", said that it was too late, and then quickly, a burst of arrows and feathers shot towards the carriage.

"Get down!" Gu Jinli snorted and bent down as Aiyue's head was pressed.

After narrowly avoiding a room, Gu Jinli said urgently: "Quick, jump out of the car!" ”

If you continue to stay in the car, I'm afraid it will be the same as this carriage, and you will be shot into a hornet's nest later.

Hexiang helped Gu Jinli, Aiyue hugged Xiaohong, so the three of them jumped from the speeding carriage with great courage.

When she was about to land, Hexiang deliberately cushioned Gu Jinli to prevent her from hurting and touching.

Aiyue turned around, looked at Qin Feng and the guards surrounded by a group and had a feeling of being unable to support it, took Gu Jinli's hand, and shouted in fright: "Master, let's run!" ”

With that, the three of them held hands and trotted to the side path.

After running for a distance, Gu Jinli gasped for breath, "Aiyue, Hexiang...... I...... Slow down......"

Maybe it's because she hasn't thought about tea and dinner recently, and it's hard to sleep and eat, so her physical fitness has also declined a little.

After only running such a distance, she couldn't run.

Hexiang held Gu Jinli's hand tightly, "Master, you hold on, it's too late to run!" ”

"Da Da Da!"

As soon as Hexiang finished speaking, four or five men in black rode up to the three of them and surrounded them in the middle.

"Master......" Hexiang stretched out her hand in front of Gu Jinli, her back straightened, like an old hen protecting her chicks.

Aiyue turned her back, holding Xiaohong in one arm, and the other arm was also stretched out, protecting Gu Jinli at the same time as Hexiang.

The black-clothed man led by him waved his hand and gave an order: "Take it!" ”

Dealing with three helpless women, and one of them is a pregnant woman, only two people are enough.

One person restrained Aiyue and Hexiang, and the other pulled Gu Jinli out of between Aiyue and Hexiang.

"Bang!" With a knife in one hand, Gu Jinli didn't have time to resist before she was knocked unconscious.

Seeing the man in black carrying Gu Jinli on horseback and driving away, Aiyue's face turned pale, her eyes widened and she shouted, "Master! ”

Hexiang also struggled hard, trying to chase forward: "Let go of my master!" ”

Xiaohong opened her mouth and wanted to bite the man in black who grabbed Aiyue's arm, but unfortunately she was dodged by the man in black.

"Bang bang!"

Aiyue and Hexiang also received a knife on the back of their necks, and their eyes were dark for two days, and they fainted.

Xiaohong jumped out of Aiyue's arms, and when the man in black slashed over, she jumped to the side with agility, and then disappeared into the grass.

Not far away, Qin Feng was trapped so hard that he didn't even have a gap to escape from the encirclement.

He was powerless to parry, so he could only watch Gu Jinli being kidnapped: "Concubine Gu!" ”

With a "bang", he was stabbed in the shoulder.

He took a few steps back, followed by another kick in the chest.

"Bang!" He was kicked against a tree and fell heavily to the ground.

"Poof", spit out a mouthful of blood.

With trembling hands and fumbling in his arms, he finally found a flare and threw it into the sky with all his strength.

"Papapapa", the signal flare instantly expelled a beautiful flower.

Seeing this, the man in black glanced at each other and disappeared.

When Gu Jinli woke up, she was woken up by a cold chill.

She shrunk her neck and opened her eyes dimly.

She moved her wrist, but she found that she couldn't move.

Stunned, she looked down and couldn't help but open her mouth wide, wanting to scream.

However, full of shame, she could only bite her lip in the end.

The limbs were in the form of a shameful "big" character, and there was nothing else to cover the body except a belly pocket and dirty pants.

Her clothes had been torn and scattered on the ground.

And her wrists and ankles were tied with ropes!

"You're awake." At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind her.

"Is that you?" Gu Jinli raised her head and saw a face that was not unfamiliar.

Her eyes were cold, and there was a hint of anger in her tone: "Why do you want to do this? ”

The man slowly walked in front of Gu Jinli, leaned down, raised his hand and gently combed the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears.

Looking at Gu Jinli's eyes with madness and warmth, he said softly: "You know the reason. ”

"Gu Chengen, you're crazy." Gu Jinli's eyes were obviously disgusted, and she said mercilessly: "Don't say that I am related to you by blood, even if I am not your sister, I will never fall in love with someone as unscrupulous as you!" ”

With that, she turned her face to the side, avoiding Gu Chengen's hand that wanted to touch her face.

The person who has taken off the blue clothes that has not been changed for many years, is dressed in black, and wears a hideous mask like a ghost, is indeed Gu Chengen.

After Gu Chengen heard Gu Jinli's words, two sharp lights immediately burst out of his eyes.

Pinching Gu Jinli's chin, he forced her to look at him, and said quietly: "You say, if you are not a brother and sister, you will not fall in love with me?" ”

Gu Jinli met Gu Chengen's eyes without fear, word by word, and her voice was extremely clear: "No!" ”

Gu Chengen wanted to kidnap himself three times and twice, once in the woods, the second time when he and Qi Hao were on the way to Nanshan, and this time it was the third time.

This is Gu Chengen's private courtyard in the suburbs, she has taken herself here, and it is self-evident what she wants to do.

His obsession was so terrible that she really couldn't keep her face anymore.

This man is ruthless and psychologically distorted, how could she fall in love with him?

"Gu Chengen, we are half-brothers and sisters, I advise you not to continue to make mistakes!" Gu Jinli raised her chin and continued: "If you still have a little conscience, just think about your father and let me go!" ”

"Today's events, I will act as if nothing had happened!"

That being said, how could Gu Jinli act like nothing had happened?

It's just that he wants Gu Chengen to relax his vigilance first, or persuade him to let himself go.

Of course, if Gu Chengen can really be persuaded to succeed by Gu Jinli in a sentence or two, he will not be Gu Chengen.

"Ah Li, although over the years, I don't like you to call me 'big brother'." Gu Chengen's hand lingered on Gu Jinli's collarbone, and he said slowly: "However, you call me by name and surname like this, which makes me very uncomfortable to listen to." ”

With a low chuckle, he leaned his face closer and put his lips to her ear, "Call me Cheng'en, okay?" ”

He really wanted to hear her call herself "Chengen" affectionately like Mo Zhiyan.

He believes that the word "Cheng En" shouted out of her delicate lips must be better than the most beautiful love words in the world.

His hot breath sprayed on her neck, causing Gu Jinli's body to tremble.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Ah Li to be so sensitive." Feeling Gu Jinli's slight movements, Gu Chengen's eyes darkened, and he grabbed her waist, and then the whole body pressed up.

"Ah Li, call me Cheng En."

Gu Jinli was overwhelmed by Gu Chengen, and couldn't help but become even more annoyed: "Gu Chengen, you let go of me!" ”

The struggle was in vain, and a feeling of nausea in his chest was about to gush out of his throat.

"You...... Vomit! ”

Tilting her head, she retched.

Gu Chengen stood up, looked at Gu Jinli faintly, and only moved his gaze down from her face for a while.

Finally, his gaze fixed on Gu Jinli's flat lower abdomen, he suddenly hooked his lips and sneered: "I know, Qi Hao is disgusted with you now, but you still refuse to leave him, it turns out that it is because of this evil seed in your stomach." ”

The big hand covered Gu Jinli's lower abdomen, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, looking at Gu Jinli's pale and panicked face, and said softly: "Ah Li, if I knock out this evil seed, will you be with me?" ”
