Chapter 457: Lover's Letter

Qi Hao sought victory in danger, which made the Queen Mother's hanging heart also steady.

However, yesterday's establishment of the crown prince caused a lot of uproar, which made the queen mother very unhappy.

Sitting in front of the rhombic mirror, the Queen Mother snorted coldly while combing her hair by Mama Lan: "Guo Mingshun is becoming more and more rampant, the emperor is still strong, he actually has the idea of establishing a prince, his ambition is really not small!" ”

Mama Lan followed the Queen Mother's words and said: "Guo Mingshun has always been at odds with the Gu family over the years, but now that the Gu family has fallen, Guo Ming's villain has won his ambition by the way." ”

The Queen Mother was disgusted with Guo Mingshun, so she said unceremoniously: "Hmph, Guo Mingshun knows that the emperor has always been jealous of the Fang family, and Guo Mingshun is like a mad dog, forming gangs everywhere to suppress the Fang family." ”

"Pity my dignified Fang family, I was originally the head of the family, but now I have fallen to the point where cats and dogs are bullied at will!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Mama Lan hurriedly patted her on the back and comforted: "Queen Mother, the emperor is also confused for a while, you must not be angry!" ”

"The Fang family is the maiden family of the mourning family, but the mourning family can't help much, the mourning family is really useless!" The Queen Mother said and spoke, and the old tears were full of tears.

Thinking of Qi Hao again, she rarely showed her fragile side, wiped her tears and said: "And Hao'er, the mourning family has paid so much effort for him, he doesn't understand the bitterness of the mourning family at all, and every time he makes the mourning family sad!" ”

"Now that Xiaoba has grown up, he will also compete with him for the throne, if he had been obedient earlier, he would not have been delayed and had not yet sat on the throne of the crown prince!"

"Queen Mother, Prince Ning is still quite prestigious in the court, and only in terms of military merits, this is where the Eighth Prince can't compare." Mama Lan thought for a while and analyzed: "If the emperor gives the throne to the eighth prince, it will be too unfair. ”

Qi Hao, like the old emperor, doesn't like the Fang family, once Qi Hao takes the throne, then it is very likely that he will continue to suppress the Fang family.

On the contrary, when the eighth prince became the emperor, he would remember that the queen had raised him for many years, and let the Fang family go.

After all, if he has to call the queen "Queen Mother", he won't kill the other party's family no matter what.

The Queen Mother wanted Qi Hao to be the emperor, but she wanted to protect the Fang family, so she was very distressed.

Mama Lan understood the Queen Mother's thoughts, and continued to comfort, "Queen Mother, the emperor has a scale in his heart, you, don't worry too much." ”

The Queen Mother leaned back in her chair and said, "The mourning family is old, what else can they worry about?" ”

"By the way, how is the queen in Fengluan Palace? Do you meditate on your own mistakes? ”

"The queen hasn't made a fuss in the past two days, maybe it's the same and understands your hard work." Mama Lan picked up some pleasing words to make the Queen Mother happy.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face really looked better: "Tell the queen and let her stay patient for a few more days." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Mama Lan inserted the hairpin into the Queen Mother's hair and bowed away.

Before the old emperor issued an order, no one was allowed to enter or leave Fengluan Palace, and violators were severely punished.

Mama Lan is the Queen Mother's person, and although the guards guarding the door are very embarrassed, they dare not stop Mama Lan in front of the Queen Mother.

passed the Queen Mother's words to the queen, and Mama Lan said a few more words, such as the Queen Mother always thinking about the queen, so she went back.

The queen snorted coldly and said angrily: "Let the palace wait? How long have Hongu been waiting? Xiaoba can't be relied on, and the Queen Mother can't be relied on! ”

"What's the difference between staying in the main palace now and staying in the cold palace? It's really better to just abolish the main palace! ”

"Mother, how can you say such a thing?" Qiu Chan was next to the table and said while studying ink for the queen: "As long as you are the queen for one day, you are the master of the entire harem." ”

"What about being grounded? No one can tell you what to do. ”

"And the slave maid also heard that yesterday a minister played to the emperor to make the eighth prince the crown prince!"

"What?" When the queen heard this, she put the brush on the table with a "snap", and the large ink color dyed the freshly copied page of the scriptures.

"Hachi is going to be the prince?" There is a kind of sadness that the daughter-in-law has been boiling into a mother-in-law for many years, and the queen has an urge to be so excited that tears are about to fall.

"It's not ......" Qiu Chan understood the queen's mood, and sneered: "It's the ministers who have this meaning, but the emperor hasn't decided yet." ”

The queen thought too much, and her newly fluttering heart suddenly fell into hell.

This huge gap made her blush, and with a "bang", all the pen and ink on the table were pushed to the ground by her.

"Since the emperor didn't make Xiaoba the crown prince, then what are you doing with this palace?!" The queen's chest rose and fell, hysterical: "Xiaoba, a white-eyed wolf, has not come to see the palace for so many days!" ”

"Perhaps, he wished that the palace would be locked up here for the rest of his life!"

Qiu Chan said this to the queen, so that she could be happier after listening to it, but she didn't expect it to backfire and make the queen angry.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she whispered: "Niangniang, the emperor gave an order, and the eighth prince can't come in." ”

"Moreover, there have been a lot of things in the court recently, and the eighth prince can only be the queen mother if he works hard to climb up and ascend to the throne!"

"The Queen Mother?" The queen gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "If this palace wants to be the queen mother, you have to wait for the emperor to die!" ”

"!" Qiu Chan's face was shocked, forgetting the etiquette of respect and humility, and directly reached out to cover the queen's mouth, glanced at the closed door, and said in a panic: "You can't say such things!" ”

The queen patted Qiu Cicada's hand and said angrily: "What if the palace said it?" If you have the ability, kill this palace! ”

"Niangniang, the current situation is greatly beneficial to the Eighth Prince, you must believe in the Eighth Prince." Qiu Chan squatted down, and while cleaning up the ground, he said in a low voice: "Although King Ning won the battle, as long as he can't return to the capital, the throne will definitely belong to the eighth prince." ”

The queen squinted her phoenix eyes and said faintly: "Find an opportunity to send a message to Fang Jinyang, just say that it is the will of the palace, let him get rid of him on the way back to Beijing no matter what method he thinks!" ”

"If you can't get rid of Qi Hao, then wait for the Fang family to be uprooted by Qi Hao!"

Fengluan Palace was guarded, and it would take a lot of effort to spread the news outside.

Qiu Cicada was helpless and nodded: "Yes." ”

After lunch at noon, Gu Jinli looked at the pile of books on the table, turned to Aiyue and said, "Aiyue, I've finished reading these books, you go find some for me." ”

"Master, you have read all the medical books in the palace, and the slave and maid have to go to find it, so they can only go outside." Aiyue poured Gu Jinli a cup of tea and handed it forward.

He Xiang was holding a feather duster to shoot ashes, and suddenly interjected: "Master, Yin Gongzi is well-read, it's really not good, we can go to Yin Gongzi to borrow books." ”

"Huh?" After listening to this, Gu Jinli felt that what Hexiang said was very reasonable, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but Yin Gongzi is busy with business, and I don't know if he is in the house now." ”

Aiyue thought that the Eighth Prince and Gu Jinli were getting closer, and said casually: "Master, there must be those hard-to-find ancient books in the library in the palace, why don't you let the Eighth Prince bring them to you?" ”

As soon as Gu Jinli heard the Eighth Prince, her face, which was still smiling, immediately froze.

The last time I saw the Eighth Prince in the palace, I was not only confessed by the Eighth Prince, but also exposed my identity.

In the past few days, she has been focusing on Qi Hao, even if she heard yesterday that the ministers wanted the old emperor to make the eighth prince the crown prince, she was also because she had Qi Hao in her heart, and she was disturbed by Chen Zexuan in the past two days, so she forgot about the eighth prince's love for herself for a while.

Now that this cold person is free, I can't help but think about this bad thing again.

She frowned and said impatiently, "No need, it's just a few books, there's no need to spend so much time." ”

He Xiang noticed that Gu Jinli's emotions suddenly became bad because of the mention of the Eighth Prince, so she gave Aiyue a look, and the two retreated.

Gu Jinli thought that Qi Hao would leave this morning and arrive in Beijing at noon tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

After returning to Beijing, the battle between him and the Eighth Prince must have entered the final white-hot stage.

It's like a chess game, and it's coming to an end.

Qi Hao has the prestige and military power in his hands, but the Eighth Prince has Mo Li and Chen Zexuan to plan and strategize.

Gu Jinli really didn't dare to think about what it would be like if it really reached the point where you lived or died.

Thinking wildly, time passed unconsciously.

In the evening, Qin Feng handed Gu Jinli a letter.

Just looking at the handwriting on the envelope, Gu Jinli recognized it at a glance as Qi Hao's words.

Ah Qiao consciously walked out of the room, Gu Jinli looked at the envelope quietly for a while, guessing what Qi Hao's letter would say.

To be honest, she was a little nervous and a little anticipatory that she didn't want to admit.

However, just as she was about to open the envelope, the letter in her hand was suddenly snatched by Mo Li who came out of nowhere.

"Master?" Gu Jinli's eyes widened, and she looked at the person in the black robe with a layer of chill on her body in disbelief.

After opening her mouth, she finally adjusted her emotions and asked, "Master, aren't you in the Cloud Kingdom?" How could it be ......"

Mo Li's cold eyes stared straight at the letter in his hand, and when he saw the word "Ah Gu", he sneered: "What's the matter, Master bothered you to read the letter from your lover?" ”

He rushed back from Yunguo non-stop, and he didn't even see Chen Zexuan, so he came directly to Fuyuan Courtyard in order to see Gu Jinli.

Coincidentally, I saw Gu Jinli holding Qi Hao's letter with a slightly red face, with a shy expression that he wanted to see, how could he not get angry?

"Master, it's not what you think." Gu Jinli felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart, her eyes were also staring at the letter, and she was struggling with whether to take it back.

After all, she hadn't opened it yet, and she didn't know what Qi Hao was talking about.

If she doesn't take it back, she is not sure.

But if you take it back, you won't even think about it, you will definitely be angry.

Mo Li swept the tension and entanglement that Gu Jinli inadvertently revealed, he opened the envelope and turned around, avoiding her gaze.

Gu Jinli didn't know the content of the letter, but saw that Mo Li glanced at her gloomily after reading the letter, and then put the letter paper on top of the candle and burned it.

"Master, you can't ......" her heart jumped, and Gu Jinli subconsciously wanted to step forward and add that letter to snatch it back from Mo Li's hand.

"Bang!" As soon as she took a step, she was kicked to the ground by Mo Li.

Mo Li's feet landed on the back of Gu Jinli's hand, and while stomping hard, he continued to burn the letter paper, bowed his head and said quietly: "You have forgotten what Master told you." ”

"Master......" Gu Jinli's lower abdomen was kicked, and her hand hurt, she couldn't get up, so she had to look up and say, "I haven't forgotten your words." ”

"Huh!" Mo Li naturally didn't believe it, after all, this letter revealed his old secret.

He was glad he had come here tonight.

Otherwise, Gu Jinli saw this letter and revealed the contents of the letter to Chen Zexuan, then the plan that she had been planning for many years would be ruined!

When the letter paper was about to burn, Mo Li withdrew his hand, squatted down, grabbed Gu Jinli's hair, squinted his eyes and asked, "Tell Master, when did you start communicating with each other?" What has been said in each of the previous letters? ”

The letter mentioned that he was the high priest of Feng Kingdom, not to mention, but also wrote down the invisible relationship between himself and the Empress of Yun Kingdom, and it was impossible to guarantee that the two had suspected and investigated his identity in the correspondence before.

Gu Jinli gasped in pain, bit her lip and said, "Master, between me and Qi Hao...... Never passed the letter before. ”

"Tonight's letter is...... It was his first letter to me. ”

She told the truth, and she couldn't deceive Mo Li if she wanted to.

The most important thing is that Mo Li's question is also deeply hidden, so that Gu Jinli can't guess what he thinks in his heart, whether he is simply asking or testing himself.

This answer made Mo Li very dissatisfied, and he asked again without giving up: "Is it really the first letter?" Don't lie to Master! ”

"Look at the tone in his heart, it's not the first time I've written to you!"

"Master, it's only been a few days since you left the country, and your relationship is so close!"

Mo Li's words were completely deceiving Gu Jinli, wanting to see how she would respond.

Her hair was numb, and Gu Jinli only felt that her hair was about to be pulled down by Mo Li, "Master, really, I didn't lie to you." ”

"You...... If you don't believe me, you can ask Ah Qiao. ”

"Ah Qiao?" Mo Li's hand did not relax a little because of Gu Jinli's words, he said sharply: "Ah Qiao is your girl, she must listen to you in everything!" It's not like you told her to say anything, she said it?! ”

"Master, Sheng'er doesn't dare to lie to you, Qi Hao's letter was sent by Qin Feng. It was because I didn't know what he was thinking that I didn't dare to open it. Gu Jinli clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the pain gave her the strength to go on with Mo Li.

Mo Li looked at Gu Jinli, and seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, she let go of her hand, and her tone was still mocking: "You don't know what the letter is about, you were so anxious to snatch the letter back just now, don't hide any ghosts in your heart, right?" ”

Gu Jinli took a breath, endured the abdominal pain, got up from the ground, lowered her eyes, looked at the letter paper that had turned into ashes, and said in a muffled voice: "Sheng'er is in a hurry, just because she is curious about the content of the letter." ”

This reason doesn't sound very reliable, but Gu Jinli really doesn't bother to care about Mo Li's thoughts anymore.

He loves to believe it or not, he does it to her at every turn, which provokes her, and she really does it directly with him!

Anyway, he and Chen Zexuan deceived her, and she was angry and angry, and there was a reason.

After that, she seemed to be aggrieved, and added without fear of adding fuel to the fire: "It's Master, isn't it a bit too much to give me a kick without asking?" ”

This sounded as if he really didn't know, Mo Li's eyes moved slightly, and he snorted coldly, but he didn't bow his head and admit his mistake: "Master has warned you three times and twice, Qi Hao is ruthless, insidious and cunning!" ”

"But you always take Master's words as a deaf ear!"

"Look at the content of that letter, the sweet words are disgusting and disgusting, if the master doesn't burn it, can it be that he can still let him deceive you?!"

Gu Jinli pursed her lips, her mind spinning rapidly, judging the truth of Mo Li's words.

Qi Hao is coming back soon, and if he wants to say some sweet words, lovesickness or something, he can come back and say it in person, as if there is no need to write again.

However, it may have been written yesterday or the day before yesterday, or even a few days ago, because it was delayed because of the war, so it arrived in her hands today.

With suspicion, Gu Jinli said in a sullen voice: "Master, Sheng'er knows it in her heart. ”

"Counted?" Mo Li still focused the spearhead on Gu Jinli, and used chatter to cover up the embarrassment of the kick he had just kicked at him: "If you have a number, how can you develop an antidote for Qi Hao's soldiers?" ”

"He returned to Beijing smoothly, which is not good for us!"

Suddenly, with a flash of brain, Gu Jinli said tentatively: "Master...... Don't you think? ”

Mo Li smiled faintly, "It's not that it can't be." ”

Although Gu Jinli didn't say anything, Mo Li's words didn't match the preface, but the two of them knew it.

Mo Li, like the queen, planned to attack Qi Hao on the way back to Beijing.

"Master......" pulled her lips, Gu Jinli's face remained calm, and her heart was already tumbling: "I think that if I assassinate Qi Hao on the road, I am afraid that people will suspect the Eighth Prince." ”

"After all, the Eighth Prince has been in the limelight for the past two days, and when something happens to Qi Hao, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be the Eighth Prince."

Although Mo Li felt that what Gu Jinli said made some sense, he said: "It's okay, it's already reached this point, even if the old emperor suspects the eighth prince?" ”

"It's easier to get rid of him on the road than to deal with him when he returns to Beijing."

Gu Jinli still made a final struggle: "But...... If he can't get rid of him, it will be difficult for the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne. ”

"Plotting to usurp the throne or something, it has been very common since ancient times." Mo Li raised his chin and said disapprerovitically: "The old emperor didn't have the idea of making the eighth prince the crown prince, so the master has already thought about it. ”

"If Qi Hao can escape the assassination on the road, then we will not let him enter this city gate!"

The only way for him to be unable to enter the city gate was for the eighth prince to pull down the old emperor and forcibly ascend the throne as the emperor.

Then, Qi Hao will become a thief who supports the army and is arrogant, self-defeating, and disrespectful to the new emperor!

Mo Li saw that Gu Jinli was silent, and said coldly: "What, I'm distressed?" ”

"Master." Gu Jinli straightened her waist and said sharply: "Qi Hao is my enemy, I will not be merciful to him!" ”

Her voice was resounding, like a heartfelt mantra.

Mo Li nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then you should hurry up and practice the 'Dementor Curse' recently, if Qi Hao brings troops to attack the city, you will directly use the 'Dementor Curse' to deal with him." ”

The people in the hands of the Eighth Prince, the soldiers in the city, plus the Praetorian Guards brought by Gu Nianshi, the total forces of Chen Zexuan and Mo Li combined, there are not as many soldiers as Qi Hao.

With Gu Jinli, it is definitely one to ten.

Gu Jinli moved her lips and said "um".

Mo Li used her as a knife stabbed into Qi Hao's chest, she could agree, but when the time came, she could decide for herself whether to do it or not!

"It's not too early, you should rest early, Master go see your brother." Nodding with satisfaction, Mo Li left.

After Gu Jinli closed the window, she carefully thought about what Mo Li had just said, then walked to the table, squatted down, and reached out to puff the ashes on the ground.

The letter paper was burned by Mo Li to the point that there was really no word left, and after turning it back and forth for a while, I finally found a little bit on the little fingernail cover.

After struggling to identify it for a long time, Gu Jinli barely recognized a word and a half.

"Away" is still obvious, but the other word should be the upper and lower structure, the bottom is "big", and the top is a little difficult to recognize.

Sitting down at the table, Gu Jinli picked up the brush and laid out all the words with "big" underneath that she could think of on the paper.

There were twenty or thirty words written, tilting her head, Gu Jinli frowned and thought deeply while looking at the back of her neck, and then circled out a few words that were more similar.

Looking back at the broken piece of paper, Gu Jinli felt that there seemed to be a word "曰" on the word "big".

Excluding three, there are five left.

After thinking about it for a long time, her head hurt.

That feeling is also like Qi Hao's heartache, very familiar.

The insects in her brain were so excited that Gu Jinli was irritable.

Exhaling the depression in her chest, she rubbed her temples as she walked towards the bed.

If you can't think of something, think about it tomorrow, and only when you sleep enough can you have the strength and spirit to think about things.

After Mo Li left the Fuyuan Courtyard, he entered the old mansion of King Nanyang.

From Chen Zexuan's mouth, after Mo Li learned that the queen planned to let Fang Jinyang do it on the way back to Beijing, he said coldly: "Since the queen wants to do it, then let's just stand by and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Fang Jinyang has now taken refuge in the Eighth Prince, as if he has put all his bets on the Eighth Prince. If the Eighth Prince is defeated, then the Fang family will be completely finished. Chen Zexuan nodded and continued: "It's just that an ordinary assassination must not hurt Qi Hao." ”

Mo Li was really a person who took one step and thought of three moves, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, increase our manpower to mix in, if the matter is revealed and the East Window incident happens, then this crime can only be topped by Fang Jinyang." ”

Chen Zexuan was reluctant to give up the Fang family's chess piece for the time being, and sighed: "I hope Fang Jinyang will not let us down." ”

Mo Li yawned, stood up and walked out: "Sheng'er, you keep an eye on it, it's a special period, she can't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes." Seeing Mo Li leave, Chen Zexuan's eyes dimmed.

On Mo Li's body, he smelled a smell of fat powder that only women have.

His nose is very smart, and he has rushed all the way back from the dust, and the fragrance is still on his body, indicating that this incense powder is unusual.

Thinking that he had heard Ah Qiao say that Mo Li appeared in the palace of Yun Kingdom when Gu Jinli went to Yun Kingdom, he couldn't help but have a bold idea.

"Reizi." called out, and after Lei Zi came in, Chen Zexuan said: "You go to Yunguo again and check ......"

He whispered in Leizi's ear.

When Lei Zi heard this, his face was shocked, and he immediately turned to leave.
