The news about Gu Chengen's rumors, since it can be spread in the market, the palace can naturally get the news.

In the imperial study, the old emperor frowned and said coldly: "Xiao Jia, what do you think about this matter?" ”

While adding tea to the teacup for the old emperor, Gonggong Jia said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, old."

The slave thinks that it is Xiangye's family matter, and it is more appropriate for Xiangye to handle it himself. ”

This means that he is telling the old emperor not to interfere.

Squinting his eyes, the old emperor said quietly: "No wind and no waves, Xiao Jia, to put it mildly, it is Gu Huai's home."

Affair. It can be said in a big way that Gu Huai's sister-in-law is an important official in the court, which is related to the government, so this matter must be investigated

It's just a matter of getting to the bottom of it. ”

In fact, whether Gu Chengen is a concubine or a concubine, as far as the old emperor is concerned, he is always just a person who works for him, as long as

He's capable, he's loyal, and his status isn't a big deal.

However, yesterday, Gu Chengen just took a group of old ministers to make trouble in front of the old emperor, which made him unhappy, so he was old

The emperor made a big fuss.

When Gonggong Jia heard the old emperor say this, he couldn't say anything, so he could only respond: "Yes, the old slave knows." ”

The old emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "By the way, how has Concubine Li been these days?" ”

Father-in-law Jia thought for a while and said respectfully: "Since the marriage between King Qing and the second lady of the Gu family was decided, Concubine Li's state has existed

It got better. In the past two days, his sanity has been as usual, and the emperor does not have to worry. ”

He said this tactfully, and the old emperor had long known about the haunting in Concubine Li's palace, so he sneered when he heard it

With a voice, he sarcastically said: "She got her wish, if she pretends to be crazy and stupid again, I'm afraid she will anger me, and I will really beat her."

Into the cold palace! ”

Gonggong Jia knew that the old emperor must still have a lot of affection for Concubine Li in his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to indulge her

and the king of the Qing Dynasty to mess around so far.

Seeing that the old emperor waved his hand to himself, he retreated in interest.

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother has been depressed these days, partly because of the matter of Qi Hao and Yin Suwan, and partly because of it

The reason is because of King Qing and Concubine Li.

The queen patted the queen mother's hand and comforted: "Queen Mother, didn't you also say it before, leave the Qing king behind."

Jingzhong is so convenient to start, and he can also closely monitor his every move. ”

"So, don't feel bad."

The Queen Mother sighed faintly, and said with a depressed old face: "Although the words are so, it can make the Qing King in the eyes of the mourning family."

Bottom, the mourning family has never been comfortable in their hearts. ”

"Queen Mother, King Qing lives outside the palace, and the number of times he enters the palace is also limited, if you can't touch him, you won't be out of sight

It's not annoying. The queen smiled and continued: "It's Concubine Li, you really want to see her unpleasantly and find a mistake."

Come, isn't it okay to punish him? ”

"You are the Queen Mother, Concubine Li is no longer willing, don't you have to suffer by yourself?"

I have to say that the queen's mouth is really powerful.

First, in the name of comforting the Queen Mother, he reminded the Queen Mother to get rid of the Qing King as soon as possible.

Second, Concubine Li was also dragged down and severely punished.

After hearing this, the queen mother felt that the queen's words were very relieved, and her face looked better: "Well, I'd rather let their mother and son not be in pain."

Fast, you can't let the mourning family panic. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that you are in charge of the entire harem, and you must not let those sluts be proud!" Beautiful eyes are bent

bend, the queen's smile was bright, and she inadvertently flattered the status and majesty of the queen mother.

After a pause, she said tentatively: "However, Queen Mother, how long do you plan to keep Miss Yin in the palace?" ”

Seeing that the queen mother's face stiffened, the queen hurriedly explained: "With such a big harem, naturally Miss Yin's pair of chopsticks is not bad."

Child. The concubine just felt that Miss Yin didn't have a reasonable identity in this palace, which was embarrassing. ”

"She has now been abandoned by Prince Ning, and you cherish her, if you make a county lord, you can also make her feel at ease

Waiting by your side. ”

Just now when she heard the queen mention Yin Suwan, the queen mother couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

After all, the Zhang family died at the hands of the queen back then, and only one Yin Suwan was rescued by herself in advance.

It was sent to the Taifu Mansion, if it was discovered by the queen, Yin Suwan would definitely die.

However, the queen offered to give Yin Suwan the status of a county lord, how could this not surprise the queen mother?

Looking straight at the queen, the Queen Mother asked, "You say, give Wan'er a county lord?" ”

The queen doesn't know Yin Suwan's identity, and the queen mother is already thankful, as for the position of the county lord in the queen's mouth, it's true

I don't dare to think about it.

Nodding, the queen smiled: "Yes, Hua Qiong is gone, the queen mother, you have named Miss Yin as the county lord, isn't it equivalent to too much."

A granddaughter. ”

"Besides, it's not an exaggeration for you to always treat Miss Yin as a granddaughter and give her a county lord!"

"What's more, Miss Yin's character and appearance are all first-class, and she is also a talented man and a woman before Lord Ning, made in heaven.

If it weren't for Prince Ning's empathy, Miss Yin wouldn't be ...... now."

Her words were for the sake of the Queen Mother and Yin Suwan everywhere, but they all spoke to the Queen Mother's heart.

Indeed, if Qi Hao hadn't changed her mind, how could Yin Suwan have fallen to the point of being under the fence?

Speaking of which, if Yin Suwan is really given the position of county lord, it can be regarded as acting on behalf of Qi Hao to appease Yin Suwan's injured heart.

Of course, in addition to appeasing Yin Suwan, the Queen Mother can also be regarded as indirectly appeasing Mrs. Yin.

Yin Taifu is an old minister in the court, and he has assisted Qi Hao for many years, if this position of the county lord can make Yin Taifu change his mind

Well, that's a good idea.

However, the purpose of the queen's move was not to push Mrs. Yin to Qi Hao's side.

The suggestion of making Yin Suwan the county lord was thought of by the queen, and after Mrs. Yin knew about it, it was the queen who should be grateful.

In this way, the queen will find another opportunity to talk to Mrs. Yin in private, and bring the Yin family over, so that the Eight Emperors

The son also has a help.

It's just that thinking of the taciturn and listless state of the eighth prince now, the queen had to sigh in her heart.

If these eight princes are as mediocre and incompetent as the seventh prince, it would be fine, but who made him smart since he was a child, and he got the old emperor

What about love?

Moreover, the princes and princes of each prince are all full-fledged and have their own forces, which are not easy to control, only the Eight Emperors

Son, the queen can still hold it.

Therefore, if she wants to give up the eighth prince, the queen is extremely reluctant in her heart, so she can only let Xiao Xiangzi pay more attention from time to time

The dynamics of the Lower Eight Princes.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What you said is reasonable, but this canonization of the county lord has to wait for the emperor's decree." ”

Last time, what Qi Hao said when she had a dispute with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't forget it.

This world is the emperor's world, everything has to be decided by the emperor, and as the queen mother, she cannot exceed her power.

Judging from the emperor's attitude towards Gu Jinli and Yin Suwan, the queen can probably sense that the emperor is more biased

Yin Suwan.

Therefore, since the queen mother opened her mouth, the emperor should have no reason to refuse.

The queen smiled and said no more.

After returning from the barracks, Qi Hao went directly to the Fuyuan Courtyard.

Aiyue was playing with Xiaohong's tail, and Hexiang stood beside Gu Jinli, whispering something.

I saw Gu Jinli's brows tightly locked, her face was heavy, and she seemed to be pondering while listening.

When Hexiang heard the footsteps at the door, she stopped her mouth in time, lowered her head and blessed her body: "The slave has seen the king."

Father. ”

Aiyue also hugged Xiaohong, who was about to run out with a flutter, and saluted: "I've seen the prince." ”

Qi Hao said "um", and then walked to Gu Jinli's side.

Probably because Gu Jinli was thinking about things too much, so that Qi Hao walked in front of her, and she didn't notice it yet.

Aiyue and Hexiang retreated as always, leaving Qi Hao and Gu Jinli a space for two.

"What are you thinking? So focused? Raising his hand and pinching Gu Jinli's soft little face, Qi Hao asked.

"Huh?" Gu Jinli raised her head, and then came back to her senses, "I'm thinking about ......"

When the words came to her lips, she swallowed back: "It's nothing. ”

Qi Hao's eyes darkened, and he said softly: "Ah Gu, we said that we must not hide anything from each other

Feeling. ”

The hand that pinched Gu Jinli's face was a little harder, and he said unhappily: "You forgot the first article of the three chapters of the covenant. ”

Gu Jinli opened her mouth, but finally chose to be honest: "I heard...... I've heard some rumors about the body of the eldest brother

world-related. ”

"Oh?" The rumor that Gu Chengen was an illegitimate child is now known all over the city, and Gu Jinli heard about it, which was also expected by Qi Hao.

He sat down, playing with Gu Jinli's hand, and asked tentatively, "Then what does Ah Gu think?" ”

Gu Jinli lowered her eyes and was silent.

To be honest, she didn't know what to say about it.

First, she only returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion four years ago, and the relationship between her and Gu Chengen really didn't reach the bottom of her knowledge

So what the specific situation is, she really doesn't know.

Second, if the rumors are true, Gu Chengen is really the son of the eldest lady and other men, which seems to be solvable

Explanation, why did Gu Chengen fall in love with her......

Perhaps, Gu Chengen has long known that he and he are not half-siblings......

However, although such rumors are spreading more and more widely, they do not seem to have a solid basis.

It's just that it is a great trouble for Gu Chengen and Xiangfu.

Qi Hao saw that Gu Jinli was silent, and she was not in a hurry, she just played with her slender and white fingers and waited quietly.

With a light sigh, she whispered, "I don't know. ”

Qi Hao's eyes moved slightly, looked at Gu Jinli deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "Then Ah Gu hopes that this rumor is true, also."

Is it fake? ”

If this rumor is true, then Gu Jinli and Gu Chengen have no blood relationship.

If this rumor is false, Gu Chengen is still Gu Jinli's eldest brother.

Therefore, Qi Hao asked this question, which seemed simple, but he actually wanted to know the meaning of Gu Chengen in Gu Jinli's heart.

After all, Gu Chengen is a person who can give up life and death for Gu Jinli except Qi Hao, such a man, if so

Leaving aside the identity of brother and sister, I don't know if it will make Gu Jinli tempted......

Of course, Gu Jinli has also said many times to Gu Chengen before, no matter what the identities of the two are, the two of them

It's impossible for people.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli said without thinking: "I naturally don't want the rumors to be true." ”

After that, she also glared at Qi Hao: "Father has cultivated the eldest brother for many years, if the eldest brother is not the father's son, then the father."

How uncomfortable it is in my heart. ”

After a pause, she whispered again: "There is also the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid it will become a joke in the entire capital." ”

Gu Jinli's answer can be regarded as satisfying Qi Hao.

He hooked his lips and took Gu Jinli into his arms, "According to his affection for you, I thought that if he."

The identity has changed, will you ......"

Without waiting for Qi Hao's words to finish, Gu Jinli directly raised his fist and hit him hard in the chest.

The little face was a little red, and she was angry and annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? He's my big brother, and I'll always be my biggest

Elder brother! ”

Although Gu Jinli had already known Gu Chengen's thoughts, Ren Qihao was so straightforward, she was a little bit

Embarrass.

Besides, Qi Hao has really become a big vinegar jar now, and he never forgets to be jealous, it's really too much!

"Okay, okay, it's me talking nonsense." Like appeasing a fried cat, Qi Hao patted Gu Jinli's back and smiled

said: "I'll just ask casually, you just let me fart and can't hear it, but don't be angry." ”

As he spoke, he also reached out to touch Gu Jinli's lower abdomen: "In case my son lives here,

It's even worse to be angry. ”

"You ......" Gu Jinli's eyes widened when she heard Qi Hao's slightly vulgar words, looked at him strangely for a moment, and then pat

Dropped his restless hand, and said in disgust: "What your son, you hurry up to the study, don't get in my way here." ”

"Ah Gu......" Qi Hao's face was a little hurt, but the hand that was slapped off grabbed her waist again: "Since you said that your son is not yet."

Stay, then let's continue to sow seeds! ”

With that, he picked up Gu Jinli again and walked to the bed.

"Qi Hao!" Gu Jinli's face turned even redder, and she glared at Qi Hao fiercely, with the taste of gritting her teeth: "Are you?"

Sperm in the brain? In broad daylight, can you be a little restrained? ”

After Qi Hao put Gu Jinli on the bed, he untied his clothes and said in a heartfelt voice: "Ah Gu, I."

If there is moderation with you, it's not your problem, it's my problem. ”

That's right, either Qi Hao is not interested in Gu Jinli, or Qi Hao's body is not good.

Gu Jinli snorted coldly and did not accept Qi Hao's crooked reasoning.

Touching her waist, she threw out several silver needles.

Qi Hao quickly avoided it, and the action of untying his belt was also paused, and he looked at Gu Jinli's eyes a little sadly: "Ah Gu, you."

Do it to me? ”

"It's better to do it to you than to do it to me." Gu Jinli straightened her clothes, pushed Qi Hao to the side, and got down

Bed.

Seeing Gu Jinli sitting at the table and picking up the medical book again, Qi Hao said in a sullen voice: "Ah Gu, I am now in the land of your heart."

bit, it's not as good as a medical book. ”

"If only you could have half of the medical books." Gu Jinli didn't even give Qi Hao a look, but the corners of her lips were curved

up.

The clothes have been taken off, and he is bored again, Qi Hao can only lie on the bed in a daze, and he does not forget to say:

"Ah Gu, don't look at it for too long, your eyes are tired."

Gu Jinli didn't squeak, as if she couldn't hear it.

Qi Hao didn't give up, and raised his voice again, slightly pitiful: "Ah Gu, no matter how long you watch, I'm here."

Waiting for you in bed. ”

"Shut up!" Gu Jinli was afraid that she couldn't help laughing, so she turned around, leaving Qi Hao with a back, but the voice was heard

There was a little impatience in Qi Hao's ears.

Qi Hao sighed, and finally died.

In Taifu's mansion, in Taifu Yin's study, there was a petty official standing in front of him, his mouth was like pouring beans

Rabala's talk goes on and on.

After the call was finished, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with a shy face: "Taifu, this is a good opportunity to bring down the Gu family."

Yes, we can't miss it. ”

This petty official is Yang Shou, the father of Miss Yang, who was pushed out by the Yin sisters as a scapegoat at the Fanghua meeting a few days ago

Yes.

Yang Shoucheng is a lowly official, and there is only one daughter in the family, and Miss Yang was ordered to be executed by Gu Jinli that day

Yang Shoucheng naturally attributed this account to the Gu family.

Taifu Yin and the Gu family had an indissoluble enmity, a cold light flashed in his old eyes, and he said faintly: "You contact him."

Several of his ministers, find a time, and write to the emperor together, Gu Huai concealed Gu Chengen's identity, and he had bad intentions

A thorough investigation is necessary. ”

"Yes, Taifu." When Yang Shoucheng heard this, he nodded again and again.

Mrs. Yin took a deep breath and instructed again: "By the way, it's best to call Master Guo to go together." ”

"Master Guo and Gu Chengen work in the same criminal department, and he has accumulated a lot of personal grudges against Gu Chengen over the years."

The rest of the words, there is no need for Mrs. Yin to say more, Yang Shoucheng also understands it.

It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, Guo Mingshun is much older than Gu Chengen, but he has been pressed by Gu Chengen, this heart

It's definitely not pleasant.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Therefore, there are many people, and so many people are on the book together, so they are not afraid that the Gu family will be able to turn over again this time.

It was night, and Gu Chengen's room was filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

With a cold face, he looked down at Yue Yunpeng, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty, and said word by word: "I've been looking for so long, you."

Dare you tell me that you didn't find that person? ”

Yue Yunpeng lowered his head and whispered, "Master, my subordinates are really ...... I really tried my best to find it, but that person was like a human being

It was like evaporation, and there was no news at all. ”

The "person" in the mouths of their master and servant is Gu Chengen's heart thorn, that is, the eldest lady also privately entrusts the prince

The old man he went to find was Guo Mingshun's half-brother, Guo Mingyi.

Gu Chengen slapped the table heavily, and his face became more and more cold: "So, what about the rumors outside?"

How did you check it out?! ”

"Lord...... Master ......" Yue Yunpeng's body trembled, and his voice became quieter: "Those rumors came from the beggar's mouth at first

out. ”

"However, most of the beggars in the city are wandering and have no fixed dens, so it is very difficult to find the root cause."

This means that the search for the person who spread the rumor behind the scenes is also fruitless.

"Idiot!" Raising his hand, Gu Chengen angrily raised his hand and gave a palm to Yue Yunpeng's chest.

"Poof!"

With this palm, it took eight points of strength, and Yue Yunpeng, who was hit, spit out a mouthful of blood, and the person also fell to the ground.

"Master...... Yue Yunpeng covered his chest with one hand, and finally supported the ground with the other, and straightened up with difficulty

Kneel down in front of Gu Chengen.

"Get out!" Gu Chengen's thin lips were pursed, and he flicked his sleeves, his expression was cold.

Yue Yunpeng swallowed the blood in his throat and walked out of the room.

Gu Chengen looked at the shallow moon outside the window, and suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the door.

During the day, although the eldest lady gave Gu Huai an explanation, he was still very uncomfortable in his heart.

Therefore, at such a late hour, he was still alone and depressed in the study, and he did not stay in the courtyard of the eldest lady as usual.

"Father." At this time, Gu Chengen's voice came from outside the door.

Gu Huai's brows furrowed unconsciously, according to his mood at this time, he really didn't want to see Gu Chengen.

However, after hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Come in." ”

Regarding the matter of identity, he also wanted to see what Gu Chengen said.

After Gu Chengen came in, his face was calm, "Father, my son has something to say." ”

Gu Huai glanced at the maid holding the tea tray behind him, and said in a lukewarm voice: "What are you going to say?" ”

Gu Chengen glanced at the maid, and the maid put down the tea tray and hurriedly retreated.

After Gu Chengen brought out the bowl of water in the tea tray, Gu Huai saw that there was a small dagger in the tea tray.

seemed to understand what Gu Chengen was going to do, and his eyes were full of scrutiny when he looked at Gu Chengen: "Do you want to drop blood for relatives?" ”

Gu Chengen nodded heavily, and said sincerely: "Father, people's words are terrifying, and my son really can't think of any other way.

This is the only option. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Gu Huai to react, he directly picked up the dagger and slashed at his fingers.

"Tick, tick", dripping the bright red blood in the clear water, Gu Chengen said slowly: "The son believes in his mother to his father."

Loyalty, but also ask the father to give his son and mother a chance to prove their innocence. ”

The innocence of the eldest lady is really worthless.

However, Gu Chengen couldn't talk about it.

Gu Huai looked at the drop of red in the clear water for a long time, took the dagger from Gu Chengen's hand, and also cut it.

Seeing the two small blood beads gradually approaching, Gu Chengen's heart gradually became steady.

After being in the Criminal Department for many years, he understands a lot of things.

With alum added to the clear water, even if two people who are not related by blood, their blood can be fused together.

And if oil is added to the water, then even if it is really flesh and blood, the blood will definitely not be able to blend.

"En'er ......" After the two blood beads were completely fused, Gu Huai's old eyes actually welled up with tears.

His voice trembled a little, and this feeling was like a person who had been wronged for decades and suddenly been rehabilitated

The stuffiness in my heart was also relieved with the "truth".

Gu Chengen suppressed the complexity in his heart and pulled his lips: "Father." ”

Gu Huai nodded, looking a little ashamed: "It's your father who blames your mother." ”

Gu Chengen shook his head and comforted: "It's not my father's fault, it's that those who walk around the rumors are too hateful." ”

Gu Huai motioned for Gu Chengen to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "Master Mo came over today, and he asked about the rumors outside, it seems

I mind this very much. ”

Gu Chengen thought for a while and said slowly: "Father, those people outside have bad intentions, they must want to ruin us with this."

The reputation of the Gu family defeated the Gu family. ”

"My son thinks that early tomorrow morning, we need to go to the palace to meet the emperor."

Gu Huai knew what Gu Chengen meant, so he agreed: "You are right, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, you have to let the emperor do it."

Witness. ”

Since the blood can be fused just now, in front of the old emperor, Gu Chengen has nothing to fear.

Pouring a cup of tea for Gu Huai, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wonderful!
