Chapter 167: The Heart Belongs
In the Mingyang Palace, Chen Zexuan was telling the Eighth Prince some strange things about the rivers and lakes, and Yushu was sitting on the side, listening
Funny places to laugh from time to time.
The Eighth Prince would occasionally laugh, but the smile on his little face was not happy.
"Eighth Prince, Concubine Gu is here." At this time, Xiao Xiangzi came in from outside the door and said.
When the eighth prince heard this, his eyes unconsciously looked behind Xiao Xiangzi.
When his eyes fell on Gu Jinli, his eyes lit up inadvertently, and then the light quickly went out.
Chen Zexuan had heard early in the morning that Qi Hao and Gu Jinli were going to enter the palace to visit the Eighth Prince, so he waited here.
Now that he saw Gu Jinli coming alone, he knew that Qi Hao must have been summoned to the imperial study by the old emperor.
Hooked his lips, and a smile appeared in his narrow eyes, "Concubine Gu." ”
Hearing that Gu Jinli was coming, the smile on the corner of Yushu's lips instantly stiffened, but the uncertainty in her eyes quickly disappeared
Sentiment.
Gu Jinli smiled slightly, which was counted as a response.
Lianbu moved slightly, she took Aiyue and Hexiang to the bed slowly, and said gently: "Eighth prince, these days are better."
Finish? ”
"Thank you Concubine Gu for your concern, my body is fine." The eighth prince nodded, sat up straight, and motioned for Xiao Xiangzi to give
Gu Jinli moved a chair over.
Because Lin Sheng said at the beginning that the injuries of the eighth prince should be carefully healed for at least two months, Xiao Xiangzi carefully followed the doctor's instructions
Always stay in front of the bed and don't let the Eighth Prince get out of bed for half a step.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the Eighth Prince is under the care of Xiao Xiangzi, and the wound heals really quickly.
But if you want to recover as before, you really have to take care of it for a while.
After Gu Jinli sat down, Hexiang stepped forward with both hands and said respectfully: "Eighth prince, this is my family master."
The phoenix cake specially prepared for you. ”
The Eighth Prince was stunned, his clear eyes glanced at Gu Jinli more, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Gu has a heart." ”
In Gu Jinli's impression, the eighth prince is smart and innocent and lively, but the young man in front of him is faced
Rong is still as delicate as before, but his body seems to be shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
"The Eighth Prince is polite." Thinking that he had to learn to fight in this intriguing dark court at a young age,
It is really not easy to save her life, Gu Jinli couldn't help but feel emotional: "Everyone may have a period in their life
Dark times. ”
"Stepping over those unsurmountable hurdles, climbing over those treacherous hills, you will always be able to see the moon when the clouds are open."
"However, before the willows and flowers are bright, the Eighth Prince has to take care of himself."
What she wanted to express was to ask the Eighth Prince to persevere in this court that did not see the light of day, and to get through it, but
If you can, you will be able to see the flowers.
The Eighth Prince's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and he quietly looked at Gu Jinli's sincere eyes, and only after a while did he become heavy
head, his face was moved, and he said, "I remember Concubine Gu's words." ”
Through Gu Jinli's eyes, he felt her concern.
He had listened to a lot of comforting words these days, and he didn't take those concerns, real or false, serious.
Because of the cruel reality, he recognized the sinister nature of human nature.
However, Gu Jinli's words were like an invisible hand, which scratched lightly in his heart, and then a kind of saying sprung up
Unclear feelings.
Chen Zexuan shook his fan while staring at Gu Jinli with a smile, "Concubine Gu's words are quite meaningful, it seems."
is a feeling, is it possible that there is something unspeakable behind this? ”
Gu Jinli is the daughter of Gu Jinxiu's prime minister's house, and in the eyes of outsiders, she should be a famous woman with a noble family.
In addition, she is both talented and beautiful, and now she is loved by Qi Hao, and she is simply the object of envy and hatred of women, so this is so
How can a person who is in the midst of happiness have something unsatisfactory?
Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "There is no unspeakable concealment, and it is not enough to feel it, Xuan Shizi thinks about it a lot."
Finish. ”
If you want to talk about dark times, how could she not have it?
She is Gu Jinli, an unpleasant concubine who returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion as an illegitimate daughter after her mother's death.
The housemother is hypocritical and ruthless, the sisters are mocking and disdainful, and in the deep courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she leans on Gu Huai's untraceable Ding
A little love, living until now, the hardships are only known to himself and the two maids.
When she entered King Ning's Mansion by marriage, she just jumped from one fire pit to another.
In addition to Qi Hao's hatred of her to the core, there is also intrigue and intrigue between the women, and there are constant intrigues and intrigues.
Yin Suwan, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Yu all want to kill her all the time......
Who understands this step-by-step anxiety of walking on thin ice?
It's been so hard to get to where you are today!
There are some things that can only be pressed to the bottom of my heart, chewed alone in the dead of night, but cannot be told to others......
The Eighth Prince did not speak again, but lowered his head and gently rubbed the delicate patterns on the food box with his hand, and a few strands hanging down
Strands of hair hid the look in his eyes.
Xiao Xiangzi is a discerning person, he respectfully handed the freshly brewed hot tea to Gu Jinli's hand, "Concubine Gu,
You drink tea. ”
"Hehe, maybe I'm really thinking too much about this life." Seeing that Gu Jinli didn't want to say more, Chen Zexuan didn't say more
He was bored and continued to ask, but his eyes still didn't leave Gu Jinli's body for a moment.
Gu Jinli's brows furrowed unconsciously, and then she picked up the teacup, and raised her hand to block Chen Ze by drinking tea
Xuan's sight.
Lord Yushu bit her lip and plucked up her courage and said, "Sister Jinxiu, last time I saw Lord Ning personally pick you up by the lake
When I returned home, I could feel that the prince must have treated his sister very well, which shows that the previous rumors outside are not credible. ”
The "rumors" she said referred to were Qi Hao's hatred of Gu Jinli because of Yin Suwan at the beginning.
Although she has not been in the capital for a long time, it does not mean that she has not heard any gossip.
"Uh......" Gu Jinli probably didn't expect Yushu to suddenly come to such a sentence without a head, and she couldn't guess what she was
What does it mean, can only be ambiguous: "People always like to add oil or vinegar or reverse right and wrong, so that in the end, they will be false."
Spread falsehood, losing the origin of the matter. ”
She didn't answer positively, so Yushu continued to ask unwillingly: "Seeing that the prince is so attentive to his sister,
Then I knew that the rumors were all false. ”
"My sister is a person with a clear mind, you should also like the prince, right?"
"When two people are together, they can be happy for a long time. If you don't like it, you probably won't stay with the prince. ”
Yushu was so curious about her relationship with Qi Hao, which made Gu Jinli feel that she was very strange.
Not only Yushu stared at Gu Jinli with blank eyes, but even the Eighth Prince, who was hanging his head just now, also raised his head.
Not to mention Chen Zexuan, the light in his eyes was even brighter.
So many people looked at her, as if waiting for her reply.
Moving her lips, Gu Jinli hooked her lips and said in a deep voice: "Naturally, I like it." ”
When her words fell, the light in Chen Zexuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes lost a little color.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The eighth prince suddenly covered his mouth and coughed heavily for some reason.
"The Eighth Prince!" Seeing that the eighth prince was coughing, Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back, very worried.
The Eighth Prince waved his hand, "I...... I'm fine. ”
Gu Jinli originally wanted to ask the Eighth Prince to stretch out his hand and help him probe his pulse, but thinking that there was a imperial doctor in the palace, she seemed to be doing this
It's a bit presumptuous, so after taking a closer look at the eighth prince, except for coughing and flushing, there seems to be nothing other abnormal.
I dismissed the idea.
After the Eighth Prince calmed down a little, Xiao Xiangzi quickly handed over the teacup: "Eighth Prince, you drink some water." ”
"Sister, Yushu has one more question for you. If there is a better man than the prince like you now,
Would you be tempted? At this time, suddenly Yushu asked without being shocked: "For example...... Like my brother
What kind of man? ”
"Huh?" Gu Jinli looked at Yushu deeply, but saw that her little face was very serious, and the look in her eyes was slightly nervous.
twitching the corners of her mouth, Gu Jinli was speechless.
She moved her gaze from Yushu's face to Chen Zexuan, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in her head.
I only have a few sides with Yushu, and I can't be considered a deep friend.
In my impression, Yushu is not a particularly lively woman, and today she talks a lot.
Yushu saw that Gu Jinli was silent, but when she was pondering, she unconsciously became uneasy: "Sister Jinxiu......"
"Yushu." Chen Zexuan glanced at Yushu unhappily, but he didn't accuse.
"No, it won't." Gu Jinli's red lips opened lightly, crisp and neat.
"Why?" Yushu was a little surprised, and her eyes widened.
In Yushu's world, all the men in this world are not as good as Chen Zexuan.
Gu Jinli, how could she not be tempted by Chen Zexuan?
Of course, it's not just Yushu who thinks so, I'm afraid many women do.
Of course, this is not absolute, Gu Jinli happens to be an exception.
Chen Zexuan is the first son in the world, yes, and his appearance is also one of the best, but this person is scheming and extremely dangerous.
Getting along with such a man is inevitably indispensable to calculating everywhere and always being vigilant.
She likes to live a simple life and doesn't want to be so tired.
The most important thing is that she has already put a person in her heart, and no matter how good the others are, it has nothing to do with her......
Besides, Chen Zexuan is really not that good, and there is no "if" in this world.
Of course, Gu Jinli couldn't say her true thoughts, so she could only say, "Maybe...... When the heart belongs, it can no longer be tolerated
Someone else. ”
"Fourth brother?" Just when Yushu's heart was just relaxing, she heard the Eighth Prince calling towards the door.
After hearing this, several people turned their heads in unison, only to see Qi Hao who didn't know how long he had been standing at the door.
Gu Jinli crashed into his deep eyes, and clearly saw the gentleness in his eyes.
Her heart softened, and the corners of her lips rose unconsciously.
"As soon as I came in, I heard your confession to this king, and this king was very happy." Qi Hao walked towards Gu Jinli's side,
While pretending to glance at Yushu inadvertently, "Jinxiu is both talented and beautiful, and there is no second her in this world, but she is."
I have married this king. If the county lord wants to find a sister-in-law, let's find someone else. ”
After saying that, he looked at Chen Zexuan again, "There are many women in Beijing who love Xuan Shizi, as long as Xuan Shizi beckons, he will definitely be."
Many people will take the initiative to send it to the door. ”
"So, Xuan Shizi shouldn't take love with a knife, right?"
Qi Hao's tone was low and there was a coldness in it, which made Yushu stiffen.
She didn't know if her mind was seen through by Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, so she was too scared to say a word.
And although Chen Zexuan is not afraid of Qi Hao, because of Gu Jinli's sentence "the heart belongs" just now, he feels very uncomfortable.
The purpose of his initial approach to Gu Jinli was because she was Qi Hao's woman, and he wanted to use her to hold Qi Hao hostage.
As time went on, his interest in her grew.
Although this has nothing to do with "love", when he really heard that Gu Jinli had no intention of himself, he was somewhat unwilling
and uncomfortable......
This kind of psychology is very strange, and I can't say why.
Hearing Qi Hao's sentence "snatching love with a knife" again, that unpleasant feeling spread.
With a "whoosh", Chen Zexuan unfolded the fan in his hand and shook it carelessly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth
Eyeground.
"What the prince said is right, Concubine Gu is indeed both talented and beautiful."
"However, the ancients also said that my fair lady is a gentleman. Therefore, this son also admired Concubine Gu
heart, this is also a reasonable thing. ”
"Oh?" Qi Hao squinted her eyes, put her hand on Gu Jinli's shoulder, hooked her falling hair, and played with it
, while saying quietly: "Xuan Shizi should know that this king has a very small heart, and what he hates the most is his own things."
Others covet it. ”
The eyes of the two of them collided, and the air was instantly filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.
Gu Jinli noticed a hint of murderous intent in Qi Hao's tone, her eyebrows jumped, and she subconsciously looked up at him.
Yushu's face was pale, maybe she was frightened by Qi Hao and didn't come to her senses, or maybe it was Chen Zexuan's words that made people listen
The words that were right struck her heart, in short, she seemed to be on the acupuncture point, and her eyes didn't move
moved, looking at the dark lines on the hem of Chen Zexuan's clothes in a daze.
Qi Hao saw Gu Jinli looking at him, so he lowered his head and approached a few points, and said softly: "Don't worry, Jinxiu, this king will not give Ren."
Who robs you of your chance. ”
His warm breath lingered around his neck, causing Gu Jinli's face to burn and his heartbeat to speed up.
Forcing herself to look away, she tried to suppress the throbbing in her heart, but her head was uncontrollably cranky.
Qi Hao...... Is this a public declaration of sovereignty?
It was as if she had known for the first time that he would also have a strong sense of possessiveness......
Qi Hao admired Gu Jinli's slightly crimson side face, and was in a good mood.
After Chen Zexuan's eyes wandered over Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, he suddenly smiled: "Since Prince Ning and Gu Fang."
The concubine and his wife are deeply affectionate, and the son of the world wishes the two a hundred years of happiness and old age. ”
Although he said words of blessing, it sounded like he was planning to see a joke in the future, but Qi Hao was not silky
Not caring at all, nodding, he smiled at Chen Zexuan and said, "I will definitely not disappoint Xuan Shizi." ”
Turning his head, he approached the bed again, pinched the face of the Eighth Prince, and said with concern: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how can I lose weight."
A lap? ”
"Lord Ning, you have to persuade the Eighth Prince." Xiao Xiangzi didn't wait for the Eighth Prince to speak, leaned over and stepped forward and said:
"Not only has the Eighth Prince not even taken medicine recently, but he has even eaten three meals a day
Go, how can the body get better faster? ”
The Eighth Prince frowned and glanced at Xiao Xiangzi, as if to blame him for talking too much.
"Huh?" Qi Hao listened, and the light in his eyes darkened a little, "Does the queen know?" ”
"The queen mother, she ...... She didn't know. ”
Xiao Xiangzi didn't mention it just now, but he mentioned it when Qi Hao came, because he knew that the Eighth Prince was the most
Listening to Qi Hao's words, only Qi Hao can persuade him.
Qi Hao can be regarded as having watched the Eighth Prince grow up, and he still knows his temperament very well.
His intuition told him that the Eighth Prince might have something pressing in his heart, "Little Eight, why don't you eat well?" ”
The Eighth Prince opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Although he is young, he can be regarded as a person who has experienced life and death in the end.
The darkness and cruelty of this court forced him to grow up overnight.
He has never had the intention of harming others, nor has he ever thought about anything, but he has been poisoned several times.
How could he not know the reason for this?
He is raised under the queen's knees, he is the hope of the queen, and he is also a thorn in the eyes and flesh of those people.
Therefore, they are going to get rid of him......
And he, if he doesn't learn to save his life, he may not be so lucky to be alive next time......
The longer he stayed in bed, the slower his body recovered, threatening to those who were hiding behind him and trying to attack him
smaller.
If his leg is really crippled and turned into a waste, will he be able to avoid poisoning in the future?
Perhaps, such an idea is silly, but he seems to have no other way now.
First, he is too weak to protect himself.
Second, even if there is Qi Hao, the fourth brother, to protect him, there will always be times when he is not well protected.
Moreover, he didn't want to add trouble to Qi Hao, and he didn't want to become a burden to him......
Seeing that the Eighth Prince didn't speak, Qi Hao also knew that someone was present at the moment, and it was not a convenient time to speak, so he sighed helplessly
tone, "The body is your own, you should take care of it." ”
"If you stay in the palace boringly, the fourth brother will take you back to the palace to live for a while."
The Eighth Prince's face was moved, "Thank you, Fourth Brother." ”
"With the fourth brother, you don't have to be so polite." Rubbing the Eighth Prince's hair again, Qi Hao turned to Xiao Xiangzi and said coldly
said: "Take care of Xiaoba, if he has a little accident, this king can't spare you." ”
Xiao Xiangzi immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, don't worry, the servants will definitely take care of the Eighth Prince." ”
Qi Hao rubbed the head of the eighth prince again, and said, "Little eight, the fourth brother still has some things to deal with, and I will come to see you another day." ”
From Qi Hao coming in to the present, he has not said a few words to the Eighth Prince, and Gu Jinli was a little surprised to see that he was about to leave so soon
Be surprised.
But his hand was stretched out in front of her, and she had to stand up according to his hand.
She had barely taken a few steps before she stopped.
After hesitating for a moment, he still took out the sachet in his arms and said, "This sachet was made by me when I had nothing to do before, inside."
Some new herbs have been replaced, which have the effect of calming the nerves and helping them sleep. If the Eighth Prince doesn't dislike it, please accept it. ”
This sachet was originally intended to be given to the Eighth Prince.
But she didn't think that Chen Zexuan and Yushu would be there today, so she was afraid of being misunderstood, so she didn't take them out for a long time.
But seeing that the eighth prince didn't seem to be in a good state, she felt that it was still necessary to give it to him.
Although it can't heal the wounds and shadows in his heart, it can at least make him feel more relaxed.
The eighth prince's hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched, and a streamer crossed his eyes, and he pulled the corners of his lips: "Concubine Gu is good."
Meaning, how could Hachi dislike it? ”
Inadvertently, the word "little eight" shortened the distance between him and Gu Jinli.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince did not refuse, Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly took it and put it in his hand.
Gu Jinli smiled, and then followed Qi Hao out of the room.
Chen Zexuan watched Qi Hao and Gu Jinli leave, the smile on the corner of his lips gradually disappeared, and finally his thin lips pursed into a stiff one
Straight line.
"County Lord......" The little maid behind Yushu saw that Yushu still looked like she was not giving up, so she quietly pulled her
Sleeve.
"Huh?" Yushu finally came back to her senses, only to find that Qi Hao and Gu Jinli had left.
Just now, Chen Zexuan was all about Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, and he forgot about Yushu for a while, and heard her
This sudden movement reminded me of her.
Looking at her meaningfully, he asked, "Yushu, have you been out for so long, are you tired?" ”
Yu Shu saw that the Eighth Prince was also looking at her, so she whispered, "I'm a little tired." ”
Chen Zexuan closed the fan, got up and said to the Eighth Prince: "Eighth Prince, this prince and Yushu also go back first, you are good."
Nourish your body. ”
The eighth prince said "um", and after only himself and Xiao Xiangzi were left in the room, he stared straight at Xiao Xiangzi, cold
The look in the eyes makes people's hearts hairy.
Xiao Xiangzi seemed to see the Eighth Emperor for the first time with such a look, and said, "Eighth Prince, the slave ......"
"Get out." Unceremoniously interrupted Xiao Xiangzi's words, and there was a faint gloomy color hidden between the eyebrows of the Eighth Emperor.
"Yes." Xiao Xiangzi knew that the Eighth Prince might be angry because of his excessive mouth just now, so he retreated with interest
Get out.
After the door was closed, the eighth prince pursed his lips and carefully opened the food box in his hand.
Golden pastries, lifelike.
Picking up a piece of phoenix cake, he put it to his lips and took a small bite, as if the pastry was an extremely rare and rare thing
In general, the action is very careful.
For some reason, he felt that the phoenix crisp sent by Gu Jinli was different from the taste in the palace.
After eating a piece of phoenix cake, his eyes fell on the sachet lying quietly on the side, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
I wiped my hands carefully before picking it up gently.
The sachet is not feminine, the light blue one is refreshing, and the face is a bamboo forest.
The stitches are fine, and you can imagine how serious Gu Jinli was when she embroidered at that time.
When you open the sachet, the fragrance of the herbs fills the air, giving you a refreshing feeling.
Taking a deep breath, the Eighth Prince slowly closed his eyes, feeling the tranquility at the moment.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened.
Before the Eighth Prince could open his eyes, he heard a loud shout at the door, "What are you doing?" ”
The Eighth Prince opened his eyes suddenly, and after seeing the familiar face, he subconsciously hid the sachet in his sleeve.
Wonderful!
