For the temperament of King Qing, Concubine Li still understands.

In the past, King Qing's mind was not on women.

Now that he has become a parent, he should not develop the bad habit of indulging in women.

Concubine Li thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Otherwise, send someone to the Tai Hospital to find Imperial Doctor Wei?" ”

King Qing shook his head and hurriedly said: "No need, it's not a big deal, you don't have to be so excited." ”

It's just a headache and brain fever or something, but his place is so embarrassing, so let's wait until I return home to continue to see a doctor for private treatment.

Concubine Li nodded, and only thought it was a small problem, so she said: "By the way, I heard that King Xuan has been very close to the Shen family recently, so don't act rashly." ”

"However, if it's okay, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion a little more."

"Come on, Gu Huai is your nominal father-in-law after all, and the diligence you go to can bring you closer to the Gu family." Concubine Li lifted her hair bun and continued: "Second, it is also convenient for the relationship between King Xuan and the Gu family. ”

"When the Gu family is completely dependent on you, it's not too late for you to make a move with the power of the Gu family."

King Qing listened to Concubine Li's words, and looked at her with a slightly different look.

In the eyes of everyone, Concubine Li seems to be useless except for being arrogant and domineering and having a slight appearance.

And now, she can analyze the situation and give advice to King Qing, which shows that she is not completely big-minded.

Just like Concubine De, they have been hidden for many years, and as the battle for the throne intensifies, they have faded away from their gorgeous and noble nature, kept their duties, and gradually revealed their side of the city.

Nodding heavily, King Qing said, "Yes, my son knows." ”

Seeing that King Qing listened to her heart, Concubine Li was satisfied: "It's okay if you don't like Gu Jinxiu, the mother concubine picked a few lovely palace maids for you a few days ago, and you will take them back later." ”

"You don't need to lift any position, just be a maid."

"Mother, my son doesn't need to ......" King Qing really has no interest in women at all, only one Gu Jinxiu, he sometimes thinks it's a trouble, not to mention that there are more women in the house, it is inevitable that there will be intrigue and jealousy, so he subconsciously refuses.

"Zhen'er." Concubine Li waved her hand and said meaningfully: "The mother concubine is from the past, and she will not harm you." ”

"Gu Jinxiu always has a few inconvenient days every month, and a few more people can serve you."

This was not too vague, and the Qing King naturally heard the hidden meaning of Concubine Li.

What women are used to do, to serve men.

Concubine Li sent a few palace maids to King Qing, wasn't it to relieve his physiological needs?

King Qing couldn't refuse anymore, and said with an unnatural face: "Erchen, thank you for your kindness." ”

Suddenly, there was another unbearable itching under his body, he straightened up, and his voice trembled a little: "Mother, it's not too early, my son will go back first." ”

"Wait a minute, you take a look at people, and leave those who don't fit your eyes." Concubine Li turned her head and said to the palace maids beside her, "Huan'er, you go and call those palace maids over and let King Qing take a look." ”

"No need, Erchen believes in his mother's vision, and will take them back to the house next time." Arching his hand, the Qing King hurriedly left Concubine Li's palace.

Concubine Li looked at Huan'er suspiciously, very puzzled: "What's the matter, he is in such a hurry?" ”

Huan'er shook her head, "What about the palace maid who is prepared?" ”

Concubine Li pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Wait for two days, you will send them back to the Qing Palace's mansion in the name of this palace." ”

Just now, she was actually a little ill-considered.

If the King of Qing himself took the little palace maids back, then Gu Jinxiu would definitely think that it was the King of Qing who was very angry, so he became jealous.

If he waited for two more days, Gu Jinxiu might see that the palace maid was sent by herself, and reduce her dissatisfaction with King Qing.

Moreover, it cannot be said that these palace maids were given to the Qing King, but to be said to be given to Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu is the princess of Qing and the daughter-in-law of Concubine Li.

As a mother-in-law, Concubine Li sent a few palace maids to Gu Jinxiu in order to better serve her.

Serving, including many kinds, of course, also includes sharing her worries and solving problems for Gu Jinxiu when it is inconvenient for her, and serving the king of Qing for her.

"Yes." Huan'er answered and nodded.

That night, Gu Jinli was lying on the bed, and Qi Hao was sitting beside her, helping her massage her cramping legs.

"Are you feeling better?" His tone was a little nervous, and he stared at her with blank eyes.

Gu Jinli looked at Qi Hao's eyes full of gentleness, and said with a smile: "It's better, you can rest quickly." ”

"Okay." Qi Hao was just about to untie his belt, but suddenly heard Du Jiang's voice outside the door: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

Qi Hao paused, looking a little displeased.

Re-fastening his belt, he covered the quilt for Gu Jinli, and said softly: "I'll come back when I go." ”

Gu Jinli said "um", watched Qi Hao leave, and then closed her eyes.

After Qi Hao walked out of the door, he said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

Du Jiang's face was solemn, he glanced at Gu Jinli's room, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Lord Wang, it's inconvenient to talk about this matter here, let's go to the study, right?" ”

Qi Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly understood that what Du Jiang said might be related to Gu Jinli.

He gave Du Jiang a look, so the two walked directly to the study.

After entering the study, Qi Hao didn't wait to sit down, and asked, "Say, what did you find?" ”

Du Jiang took out a stack of not thin letter paper from his arms and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you can see for yourself." ”

Qi Hao took it, his eyes swept over the dense stationery one by one.

As time passed, the expression on Qi Hao's face became more and more solemn.

After reading all the letters, his thin lips pursed, and the air in the room instantly became a little colder.

In three days, he asked Du Jiang to start from Fengguo, and he really gained something.

It's just that he didn't expect that Gu Jinli's mother-in-law turned out to be Feng Se.

And Feng Se turned out to be the last guardian goddess of Feng Kingdom.

The most unbelievable thing is that the old emperor has proposed to Fenghuang many times to marry Feng Se, but he has been rejected by Feng Se himself every time.

Knowing these old things from many years ago, Qi Hao also understood the reason why the old emperor hated Gu Jinli so much.

Because since the old emperor could find out that Gu Jinli was married on behalf of him, it means that he must have already known that Gu Jinli was Feng Se's daughter.

Just as the old emperor knew Qi Hao, Qi Hao also understood the old emperor's character very thoroughly.

If you can't love it, then you will be ruined.

Therefore, the old emperor joined forces with the Emperor of Yunguo and destroyed the Feng Kingdom.

If Feng Se really died in that fire, when the old emperor remembered her, he might still retain the original love and a little guilt.

But Feng Se not only did not die, but also gave birth to children for other men, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the old emperor.

After so many years, the thoughts were gone, and they were wiped out by even more fierce hatred.

The old emperor will put all his hatred for Feng Se on Gu Jinli......

Qi Hao's mood is indescribably heavy.

I quarreled with the old emperor again and again for Gu Jinli, which was tantamount to strengthening the old emperor's determination to kill her.

"Lord Wang, what should I do now?" Seeing that Qi Hao was silent, Du Jiang finally couldn't help but say, "You said, does Concubine Gu know her identity?" ”

Qi Hao rubbed his eyebrows and said slowly, "Ah Gu shouldn't know." ”

Gu Jinli's identity, apart from the old emperor and himself, should only be known to Gu Huai.

But because Gu Jinli is also related to Feng Guo, it is impossible for Gu Huai to tell her the truth.

After all, once her identity is revealed, it will lead to death.

Even the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be connected by the Nine Clans.

Sighing heavily, Qi Hao said quietly: "This matter, just treat it as if you don't know, especially Ah Gu, you can't let her know." ”

"Now that she is pregnant, she is easy to think crankily, and if she knows her life experience, she will inevitably hurt her mind again."

Du Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates know." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "What about the emperor...... over there?"

Qi Hao remembered the hateful and disgusted eyes of the old emperor when he mentioned Gu Jinli, and said in a low voice: "Tell the guards guarding the dark place of the Fuyuan Courtyard to keep an eye on them, and they must not be sloppy at any time." ”

Du Jiang knew that Qi Hao was afraid that the old emperor would secretly attack Gu Jinli, so he arched his hand and turned to go out.

The door of the study was closed, and Qi Hao's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time.

At the same time, Chen Zexuan also received the information that he had asked his subordinates to check before.

The destruction of the Feng Kingdom was due to the fact that after the high priest opened the country with the old emperor of the Qi State, he was secretly served by the Yun State, which had already secretly allied with the Qi State.

The pregnant guardian goddess Feng Se, as a woman who had been loved by the old emperor of Qi for many years, escaped death in the fire, and was quietly rescued by Gu Huai and brought back to Qi Kingdom.

On Nanshan, Gu Jinli was born, and she lived there for more than ten years.

Later, Feng Se died, and Gu Jinli was taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Gu Huai and became the second lady of the Gu family, who lived in a simple house.

Later, Gu Jinli became Li Daitao's concubine "Gu Jinxiu", and married Qi Hao by mistake......

Chen Zexuan never thought that Gu Jinli would hide so many secrets.

The Kingdom of Feng has been a tribe that does not intermarry with foreigners since a hundred years ago.

With the development and growth of the tribe, after the establishment of the Feng Kingdom, all the people of the Feng Kingdom still retained the custom of not intermarrying with people with foreign surnames.

Therefore, even if she doesn't know who Gu Jinli's biological father is, she has the blood of Fengguo in her body.

Just when Chen Zexuan was deep in thought, suddenly a gust of wind blew behind him, and the information in his hand was taken away in the blink of an eye.

Shocked, Chen Zexuan stood up "pout", raised his hand and was about to slash at the door of the face, but stopped when he was close at hand.

The man in black blocked Chen Zexuan's movements with one hand, and quickly browsed with the other hand holding the letterhead.

Ten lines at a glance, after he finished reading it, his sharp eyes stared at Chen Zexuan, and the voice of the exit was like an old cow pulling a broken car, hoarse and ugly: "Xuan, you dare to investigate Feng Se behind my back?!" ”

"Master, I'm ......" Chen Zexuan's face turned pale and hurriedly explained.

"Who gave you the audacity to investigate her?!" The letter paper in the man in black instantly turned into shards all over the ground, and his wrist flipped, allowing Chen Zexuan to have the slightest chance to speak, and hit him directly in the chest.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

It slammed into the table, and the teacups and teapots on the table fell to the ground.

Chen Zexuan's body fell on it, the sharp porcelain piece pierced into his body, and the purple clothes were stained red.

With this palm, the man in black used a lot of force, so that Chen Zexuan couldn't get up at all.

He wanted to hold the ground with his hands, but he didn't even have the strength to lift them.

With blood spitting out of his mouth, he felt like he was going to die at any moment.

Raising his foot and stomping on Chen Zexuan's fingers, the black-clothed man's eyes flashed with a thick killing intent, and he said word by word: "You take my words as a deaf ear." ”

Chen Zexuan gasped in pain, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Swallowing the blood, he looked pained and said with difficulty: "Master...... Master, no matter what...... No matter what, you can't hurt ...... Hurt her. ”

"Huh!" When the man in black heard this, he used even more ruthlessness under his feet.

"Master...... Although I don't know what you and Feng Se are...... What does it have to do with it, but she ...... She is innocent and will not affect ...... Influence our programs. Cold sweat the size of a bean broke out on Chen Zexuan's forehead, and the clothes on his back were also stained red with blood from the porcelain.

He gritted his teeth and said without giving up: "Please...... Ask Master, let her go. ”

"Who said she had nothing to do with our plans?" The man in black sneered, slowly squatted down, squinted his eyes, and said, "Haven't you always wanted to know who she is?" I'll tell you right now. ”

"However, I'm afraid you won't dare to listen."

Lowering his head, he leaned close to Chen Zexuan's ear and said softly.

After hearing this, Chen Zexuan's whole person seemed to be pointed, motionless.

He looked at the man in black in a daze, his eyes didn't roll, his mouth opened wide, and he forgot to breathe.

Looking at Chen Zexuan's shocked appearance, the man in black patted his face and said quietly: "What, don't you believe it?" ”

Chen Zexuan's lips trembled, just because of the words of the man in black, he couldn't even feel the pain around his body.

A layer of mist appeared in his narrow eyes, and he muttered, "How could it be ......?"

The High Priest let out another mournful laugh and pointed to his chest, "I said a long time ago that she is not someone you can love, and instead of listening, you are sinking deeper and deeper. ”

"Now, can you die?"

"Master......" Chen Zexuan pulled his lips, although his face was smiling, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Crystal tears wet the tear mole and wet his heart.

No longer looking at the mockery in the eyes of the man in black, Chen Zexuan closed his eyes and said softly: "For more than ten years, the master has paid a lot for the apprentice behind his back, and the apprentice remembers it in his heart and never dares to forget it. ”

"Master has an unknown identity, and the apprentice doesn't want to speculate more."

"It's just...... Can Master tell the disciple what role you play in this plan? ”

"What is the relationship between the apprentice and the master?"

"Is it the person tied to the same boat, or is the master the chess player and the apprentice a chess piece?"

Clenching his red and swollen fingers, both his face and tone were full of sadness.

If the person is tied to the same boat, then the two people have common interests and can be regarded as a cooperative relationship.

If it is the second relationship, then the man in black is using Chen Zexuan and treating him as his own knife to achieve his goals.

The man in black didn't expect Chen Zexuan to suddenly ask this, he looked at Chen Zexuan deeply for a while, and then said for a long time: "If it weren't for the people in the same boat, why would Master have bothered to plan for you secretly for so many years?" How could I give you Qingyao Pavilion? ”

"And this white jade building is also the master's hard work! If you don't trust you, how can you spend manpower and material resources on you! ”

After hearing this, Chen Zexuan raised his eyes to look at the man in black, and said with a wry smile: "Apprentice, thank you Master for so many years of painstaking cultivation. ”

With that, he coughed heavily, and the blood in his mouth flowed more and more like a summoned red soft snake.

Seeing this, the man in black immediately clicked on Chen Zexuan's body a few times to stop the bleeding for him.

Taking a deep breath, he made his voice not sound as cold and hard as it was just now, "Xuan, the reason why Master didn't tell you her identity before was because he felt that the time had not come. ”

"After all, she is now Princess Ning, and if her identity is revealed, it will definitely affect the plan."

"And the identity of the master, at the right time, you will naturally know."

"You just need to remember that everything Master does is for you, and you don't have to doubt Master anymore in the future."

The man in black had already told Gu Jinli's identity just now, so Chen Zexuan didn't have to worry about what he would do to Gu Jinli.

The fist loosened slightly, and he turned his face and said "um".

The man in black stood up, without any guilt, turned around and disappeared into the night.

After all, from Chen Zexuan's childhood to the present, he has been punished a lot by people in black.

Whether it is light or heavy, in the eyes of the man in black, his harsh methods are to hone Chen Zexuan's will and psychological endurance.

And Chen Zexuan has been punished more times, so he is used to it, so even if he is seriously injured, he does not need to care about condolences.

Hearing the sound of "bang" closing the door, Chen Zexuan's eyes flashed.

The words of the man in black echoed in his ears, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

I've been lying on the ground since just now, and the wound on my back hurts fiercely.

Gu Jinli ...... grinned, he suddenly laughed, smiled and laughed, and spit out another mouthful of blood.

It was dark in front of him, and he fainted.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, I don't know if it was because Qi Hao was not by his side before falling asleep, in short, Gu Jinli didn't sleep very well.

I don't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, the candles on the table were almost burned out, emitting a faint dim light.

On one side of the bed, it was still empty, cold, without the slightest temperature.

Qi Hao, he hasn't come back yet.

Gu Jinli stood up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and thinking about whether to go to the study to see Qi Hao.

But after the quilt was lifted, she hesitated again.

Du Jiang came to Qi Hao at night, definitely not for any trivial matter.

What's more, Qi Hao hasn't come back yet, which is enough to show the importance of the matter.

If I go to the study by myself, will I disturb him again?

Lying back helplessly, Gu Jinli turned over, trying not to think about it.

In the past two days after Jiang Yuan's death, Gu Chengen was very busy.

At the dinner table of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Zhiyan put down the chopsticks when she saw Gu Chengen eat two bites, so she hurriedly sandwiched a dish for him, and said intimately: "Xianggong, you can eat some more." ”

Gu Chengen shook his head and said in a light tone: "Don't eat it, I have to go to the Criminal Department." ”

With that, he walked out of the hall without looking back.

Mo Zhiyan looked at Gu Chengen's back with a gloomy expression, and put down her chopsticks in a daze.

The eldest lady saw Mo Zhiyan's lonely look in her eyes, patted her hand, and comforted her kindly: "Zhiyan, there is such a big thing in the Guogong Mansion, and En'er has a heavy burden on her shoulders, so you have to catch the murderer of Yuansheng quickly, otherwise you won't be able to explain to the Guogong Mansion." ”

Jiang Yuan is dead and dead, except for Jiang Qing and his wife, as well as the late old man who was stimulated, no one will be sad for him.

His death was a great joy for Gu Huai and the eldest lady.

When the government sent someone to deliver the news, they thought they had heard it wrong.

When Jiang Yuansheng made Gu Jinxiu stronger, Gu Huai wanted to kill Jiang Yuansheng to vent his hatred, but due to the status of the Guogong Mansion, they could only let Jiang Yuansheng's scourge go unpunished.

Therefore, they were very surprised that God actually opened his eyes and let Jiang Yuansheng die on the street.

Although they don't know who is so kind and removes a thorn in their side, they are very happy.

Because, they no longer have to worry about Gu Jinxiu's innocence being tarnished by Jiang Yuansheng.

The mouth of a dead man is the most reliable.

It's just that this joy can't be expressed.

No matter how you say that Jiang Yuansheng is the nephew of the eldest lady, the Guogong Mansion is the eldest lady's maiden family, and she has to show some sadness.

Moreover, the old prince is the father of the eldest lady, and she has to be very sad.

The old man's face was filled with hypocritical sadness, and the eldest lady wiped her unwarranted tears and said with emotion: "Poor white-haired man to send black-haired man, Zhiyan, you will accompany me back to the mansion for a while." ”

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Mo Zhiyan is qualified to accompany the eldest lady back to her parents' home.

She nodded, and asked again, "Mother, do you need to send someone to inform Concubine Gu?" ”

In Mo Zhiyan's eyes, Gu Jinli is the granddaughter of the old Guogong and Jiang Yuansheng's cousin, so it stands to reason that she should also go to the Guogong Mansion.

"Jinxiu has a body now, and it is not appropriate to go over." After hearing this, the eldest lady hurriedly waved her hand.

Mo Zhiyan was reminded by the eldest lady that she remembered Gu Jinli's pregnancy.

She blushed and said embarrassedly: "It's still my mother who is thoughtful, but Zhiyan is careless." ”

Gu Huai, who was drinking tea with a teacup, heard the eldest lady and Mo Zhiyan mention Gu Jinli, and his action of bringing the teacup to his mouth froze instantly.

Recalling the last time Gu Jinli said that he would never come back in the future, he sighed, put down the cup, and said in a sullen voice: "I'm also full, you eat slowly." ”

After saying that, he also left the hall.

Seeing that there were still a lot of dishes left on Gu Huai's plate, the eldest lady was dissatisfied: "This father and son, how can they all ......?"

Seeing that Mo Zhiyan was looking at herself, she quickly stopped the topic.

Scooping a bowl of soup for Mo Zhiyan, she revealed a rare love that only Gu Jinxiu had: "Zhiyan, you can eat more." ”

"Raise your body to be fatter again, and give me a big fat grandson soon."

"Mother......" The eldest lady's words made Mo Zhiyan's face flush and red again.

The eldest lady looked at Mo Zhiyan's shy appearance, and said with a smile: "Although En'er is a little colder, she still cares about her family." ”

"You, you have to work harder."

Mo Zhiyan lowered her head and bit her lip gently.

Gu Chengen's temperament is indeed cold, like a stone, which makes her feel that she can't be hot.

Except for the wedding night, after such a long time, Gu Chengen has not touched her again.

And she is a woman, and she is embarrassed to ask for pleasure.

The eldest lady wants a grandson, but she has to let Gu Chengen give her a chance!

Suppressing the sourness in her heart, she whispered, "I know." ”
