In the private room of Baiyulou, Shen Minghui held the cup, looked at Gu Chengen, and asked, "I don't know what happened when Gu Shilang asked General Ben to come over?" ”

Gu Chengen has been busy finding Jiang Yuansheng's murderer these days, as Gu Jinxiu thought before, he really didn't have much effort to find out the truth.

No matter how Gu Jinxiu is Gu Chengen's own sister, it is naturally impossible for him to hand over Gu Jinxiu, so just like the time he killed Gu Jinyao, he found a substitute for Gu Jinxiu.

Regarding the results found out by Gu Chengen, the Guogong Mansion did not have any objections.

According to the relationship between the Jiang family and the Gu family, Gu Chengen has no reason to deceive and shelter the murderer.

Thinking that King Xuan had recently targeted Shen Minghui, and Shen Minghui had fallen into a fierce conflict with Qi Hao, Gu Chengen suddenly felt that if he could form an alliance with Shen Minghui, it would undoubtedly be an additional help to get rid of Qi Hao.

Shen Minghui is a military general, and Gu Chengen is a civil official.

The Gu family was attached to King Xuan, and the Shen family remained neutral.

Besides, on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Gu Chengen almost punished Shen Biyun in public because of Gu Jinli.

Therefore, Shen Minghui thinks that there is nothing to talk about between himself and Gu Chengen.

Still, he came as promised.

He wanted to see what tricks Gu Chengen was playing.

"I heard that King Ning is going to drive General Shen out of the barracks?" Gu Chengen got straight to the point, with a hint of a smile in his tone.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Gu Chengen's mouth, Shen Minghui's heart burst out of a fire.

His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he said faintly: "Gu Shilang is here to mock General Ben on purpose?" ”

His men died and wounded, and he was so angry that he had to call himself sick and go home.

In doing so, he avoided losing his prestige in the army.

Second, I want to use this to teach Qi Hao a good lesson through the hands of the old emperor.

After all, it was the old emperor who transferred him to the military camp by a holy decree.

And now that he has been squeezed by Qi Hao to such an embarrassing point, if the old emperor sits idly by and watches idly by, wouldn't that condone Qi Hao to continue to be lawless and despise the imperial power?

However, he waited at home for two days, and the old emperor did not make any moves, which made Shen Minghui very depressed.

"No, no." Gu Chengen shook his head, waved his hand and said: "General Shen is wise and powerful, and his military achievements are impressive, this squire has admired the general for a long time, how dare he laugh at the general?" ”

After a pause, he continued: "General Shen is a bold person, and Ben Shilang is not a person who likes to beat around the bend. ”

"We don't talk in secret, this squire wants to join forces with General Shen to get rid of King Ning together."

"Oh?" Shen Minghui didn't expect Gu Chengen to say so bluntly, he looked at Gu Chengen unexpectedly for a moment, and then said ambiguously: "Although there are some small misunderstandings between General Ben and Prince Ning, this can't be ......."

"General Shen." Gu Chengen saw that Shen Minghui wanted Mingzhe to protect himself again, so he directly interrupted him, "Those things between you and Prince Ning must have been heard of by everyone. ”

"One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, this servant privately thinks that General Shen is more suitable to be the commander of the Dongshan military camp than Prince Ning in terms of qualifications and ability."

Everyone has their own desires, and Shen Minghui is no different.

The Dongshan military camp is like a piece of fat in Qi Hao's hands, not only the princes and princes want to swallow it, but even the generals who have made great achievements are also coveted and snooped.

Shen Minghui's hand holding the teacup tightened, and he said after a while: "Gu Shilang, don't forget, Prince Ning married your sister, and you pulled Prince Ning off the horse, so you didn't consider your sister's feelings?" ”

"My sister?" Gu Chengen's eyes dimmed, and then he sneered, "Those who become big things must not be recognized by their six relatives." ”

"The daughter who marries out, the water that is spilled, the moment Jinxiu marries Qi Hao, it means that she can be sacrificed anytime and anywhere."

The "Jinxiu" in his mouth is Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli is not his sister, he can't tell Shen Minghui that he is hated because of love, so he wants to destroy Qi Hao.

Hearing these words in Shen Minghui's ears, he was extremely ruthless.

Moreover, for some reason, Shen Minghui actually heard a trace of hatred.

Seeing Shen Minghui's eyes looking at him without blinking, Gu Chengen knew that he was suspicious, so he said in an aggravated tone: "Although, Prince Ning is the son-in-law of the Gu family, the general should also know that the Gu family is pressing the treasure on King Xuan. ”

"And King Xuan is very interested in Miss Shen's family, and in the future, King Xuan will become the general's son-in-law, aren't we all people in the same boat?"

"When the time comes, King Xuan will ascend the throne as the emperor, and Miss Shen will be the queen of the world, won't General Shen be moved?"

"Queen......" Shen Minghui's body trembled, and he muttered two sentences, and his old eyes radiated excitement.

Shen Biyun is the queen, then he is the national ruler, where can this status be compared to a general?

After thinking about it, he questioned again: "Gu Shilang, Ben will always have a question. ”

"General Shen, please speak." Gu Chengen noticed that Shen Minghui was already tempted, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"The Gu family supports King Xuan, why don't you marry Gu Jinxiu to King Xuan?" Shen Minghui's question is not only curious about himself, but also other people in Beijing.

Gu Chengen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Father did want to marry Jinxiu to King Xuan, but who would have thought that Yin Suwan's leg would be broken because of Jinxiu at that time?" ”

"Lord Ning must exchange his life for a life, Jinxiu is the pearl of his father and mother, although he is reluctant, he can only obey the order to marry her to Lord Ning."

"As for Jinli, she is married to the king of Qing......" sighed, and he said helplessly: "It's just a coincidence." ”

What Gu Chengen said was not all lies, Shen Minghui did not respond immediately, but pondered in his heart.

After a long time, he asked, "Then according to Gu Shilang's view, what should I do?" ”

"This squire is stumbling in the court, General Shen, you hold on in the barracks, and you must not bow to King Ning no matter what." Gu Chengen knew that in the face of interests, Shen Minghui would definitely give in, "It's right that King Ning commands the military camp, but you were sent by the emperor at the beginning, and without the emperor's will, no one can drive you out of the barracks!" ”

"If King Ning insists on going his own way, it is disrespectful and does not take the emperor in his eyes!"

"In a big way, King Ning is very likely to plot against him, cover the sky with one hand, and want to rebel!"

Shen Minghui is actually still difficult to understand why Gu Chengen is so ruthless to Qi Hao.

He opened his mouth, looked at Gu Chengen in a daze, and nodded heavily.

Gu Chengen achieved his goal, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Shen Minghui.

At the same time, in the next room, there were also two people sitting.

Chen Zexuan gently put down the mural on the wall, blocking the unknown small listening hole.

He covered his mouth, suppressed his cough, and his face was sickly pale and haggard: "Master, there are too many people to deal with Qi Hao, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight for the time being." ”

After that, he still couldn't hold back a light cough.

That day, because of his private investigation of Feng Se, Chen Zexuan was discovered by the man in black, and he was slapped in the face.

Subsequently, with serious injuries, he fought with the masters sent by the old emperor in the case of Gu Jinli's assassination.

Gu Jinli only saw that he was as light as a swallow and strong in martial arts, but she didn't know that he was using all his strength to protect her.

She didn't even know that after she was carried on a horse by Qi Hao and left, he leaned against the tree and vomited blood.

The man in black looked at Chen Zexuan with a sick and soft look, frowned and said unhappily: "Xuan, do you need Master to heal you?" ”

Over the years, no matter how badly Chen Zexuan was injured, the man in black had never taken the initiative to find someone to treat him, let alone treat him personally.

Therefore, Chen Zexuan was very flattered.

However, his surprise was not revealed.

Just looking at the man in black quietly, he said in a low voice: "Thank you, Master, the apprentice is fine." ”

The man in black said "um", took a sip of tea, and continued: "In the past few days, you have taken good care of your body, and you don't have to worry about other things for the time being, everything is in the master's hands." ”

After hearing this, Chen Zexuan's eyes flashed with a trace of nervousness: "Master, I'm fine, I can ......"

The man in black grew up watching Chen Zexuan, and just by looking at him, he knew what he was thinking.

With a sneer, the man in black said faintly: "Master said that he wouldn't touch her, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

Seeing through his mind by the man in black, Chen Zexuan lowered his eyes, and his ears were a little hot.

Yesterday, Que'er sent the conversation between the eldest lady and Yin Suxi to the palace in the form of a secret letter.

It was night, Yin Suwan was holding the secret letter in her hand, and her face was gloomy and cold.

Her hands trembled a little, and she felt like her whole body was about to explode with anger.

Before, she only knew that Yin Suxi liked Qi Hao and wanted to replace herself.

Unexpectedly, she still underestimated Yin Suxi's ambitions.

Not only does she want to marry Qi Hao as Princess Ning, but she also covets her position as the lord of the county!

Want to reveal your background to the queen? Eradicating yourself by the hand of the Queen?

Hehe, Yin Suxi's scheming is really deep!

remembered that she was also due to Yin Suxi when she broke her leg, and Yin Suxi instructed Shuang'er to poison herself, Yin Suwan hated it so much.

A naked killing intent flashed in her sharp eyes, and an idea arose in her mind.

Since Shen Minghui and Gu Chengen hit it off, in the following period, there have been many big and small things in the court.

The people who were placed in the court by Qi Hao were found out every once in a while.

Even if he knew that someone was secretly playing tricks and deliberately targeting himself, there was no flaw in everything, so Qi Hao had no way to start.

Moreover, Qi Hao made too many enemies, King Xuan, King Qing, Gu Chengen, etc., it was difficult for him to find out who did it for a while.

The old emperor had already been poisoned, and he didn't have the heart to take care of other things.

In order to let him recuperate with peace of mind, Gonggong Jia also selectively told the old emperor about most of the things in the court.

Of course, even if the old emperor knew that Qi Hao had been in a hurry recently, he would not easily intervene.

First, before the old emperor was poisoned, Qi Hao had an argument with him, even after these five or six days, the old emperor was still angry.

Out of anger, he wanted to make a mess of Qi Hao, and when he had to do it, he came to beg himself.

Second, the more critical the moment, the more you can hone a person.

Qi Hao is a person who will ascend to the throne in the future, how can he grow up quickly without experiencing some things?

Anyway, the day hasn't fallen yet, and the old emperor doesn't have to worry about this or that.

Now, the most important thing for him is to quickly take care of his body and find out the person who has the audacity to poison himself!

He ate the ingredients prescribed by Gu Jinli with peace of mind, and his spirit was indeed much better in the past two days, and his body was also stronger.

However, he gave all the credit to Wei Liao, and asked Jia Gonggong to reward Wei Liao with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

As for Gu Jinli, he didn't even mention it.

It seems that the matter of detoxifying him was done by Wei Liao alone from beginning to end, and it had nothing to do with Gu Jinli.

The things he uses every day must be tried by more than three people before he dares to use them boldly and confidently.

There is no way, again and again, and again and again encountering poisonous hands, it has already cast a shadow on his heart.

Qi Hao seemed to be shrouded in a mess, all kinds of things suddenly came to his head, and he was like a spinning top that rotated all the time, without the slightest time to rest.

Most of the time, he either dealt with Shen Minghui, who was brazen and returned to the barracks, or dealt with various emergencies outside, running around for the officials under him who were involved.

During the day, he was not in the palace.

It was not until the middle of the night that he dragged his tired body back.

However, after waiting for most of the night, Gu Jinli was almost tired of waiting and fell asleep.

Qi Hao couldn't bear to go back to the Fuyuan Courtyard to disturb her, so she could only sleep in the study.

Gu Jinli could barely see Qi Hao once for several days, and every time she met Qi Hao, she came back in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Although two people are under the same roof, it is like a different place, and even seeing each other has become a luxury.

Aiyue carried Xiaohong into the room, and when she saw Gu Jinli staring out of the window with blank eyes, she asked curiously: "Master, what are you looking at?" ”

"Aiyue, didn't you let you recuperate for a few more days? How did you get out of bed? Gu Jinli came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Aiyue, her tone worried.

Aiyue waved her hand, very fearless: "I've been lying in bed for several days, and if I lie down again, I'm going to suffocate to death." ”

I have to say that Xiaoyaozi's medical skills are indeed worthy of his reputation, and his title of "the world's first miracle doctor" is by no means in vain.

Aizuki was sent back at noon the next day after she was sent to Yoyo Valley that day.

At that time, although she could not go down to the ground and needed to be carried, her whole person did not look like she was dying.

Xiaoyaozi also asked Aiyue to bring back a lot of medicines, such as bruises, anti-drugs, and everything.

Afraid that Aiyue's health would not recover well, Gu Jinli instructed her to raise her on the bed, but Aiyue was idle, so she still went to the ground.

Taking Xiaohong from Aiyue's hand, Gu Jinli asked, "What about Hexiang?" ”

Aiyue poured Gu Jinli a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Hexiang went to the backyard to collect clothes." ”

Gu Jinli said "oh" and didn't speak again.

Aiyue looked at Gu Jinli's absent-minded appearance, blinked her eyes and asked, "Master, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Gu Jinli shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "No." ”

Aiyue stepped forward with her little face and affirmed: "No, you must have something on your mind." ”

Rolling her eyes, she said tentatively, "Could it be ...... Is it because of the prince? ”

Qi Hao came to Fuyuan a lot less often, which not only made the unwitting people in the house start to talk about it secretly, but even Aiyue, who knew from Hexiang's mouth, was also cranky.

Gu Jinli stroked the hand of the little red fur for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "What did you hear from whom?" ”

Aiyue smiled and said in a low voice: "The slave maid heard that the prince didn't come over much, so she was a little worried. ”

Gu Jinli raised her eyes and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

"The slave is worried...... Aiyue didn't know whether to say it or not, she hesitated, and she swallowed, which made Gu Jinli's heart even more sullen.

Seeing that Gu Jin's eyes gradually became cold, Aiyue had no choice but to bite the bullet, her tongue seemed to be burned, and she said quickly: "People say that when a woman is pregnant, a man is most likely to be unable to bear loneliness and ...... with a woman . ”

With a "whoosh", it was probably because Gu Jinli's hand suddenly became stronger, and Xiaohong screamed in pain.

"Master......" Aiyue couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Gu Jinli's hand holding a ball of Xiaohong's hair.

She didn't expect Gu Jinli to react so much.

"Master, the slave just talks nonsense, don't take it to heart!" Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Aiyue hurriedly grabbed Gu Jinli's arm and said.

Gu Jinli's eyes were sour, afraid that Aiyue would find out what was wrong, so she turned her face away and tried to make her voice sound calm: "I believe him." ”

"Yes, yes, the prince is wholeheartedly devoted to you, this is all witnessed by everyone, how can it be the same as those negative men!" Seeing Gu Jinli say this, Aiyue relaxed a little and agreed.

Xiaohong was strangled hard by Gu Jinli, and screamed a few times uncomfortably.

Gu Jinli let go of her hand and let Xiaohong run to the ground by herself.

Aiyue was afraid that Xiaohong would run around like last time, and fell into the hands of a ruthless woman like Mrs. Liu, so she subconsciously picked it up again.

"Aiyue, you hug Xiaohong and step down, I'm a little tired." Standing up, Gu Jinli turned around and walked towards the bed when her tears were about to fall.

Aiyue thought that Gu Jinli was easy to get tired when she was pregnant, so she answered.

However, looking at her back, Aiyue felt an indescribable feeling.

After Gu Jinli got into bed, Aiyue left the room.

Gu Jinli faced the white wall, and after hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, she bit her lip and burst into tears.

Every night before going to bed, Qi Hao will let people come over in advance to inform him and stay in the study tonight.

Once she couldn't help it, she asked Du Jiang, but she could only learn from Du Jiang that he was busy.

As for what he was busy with, she had never been in the habit of asking before, and she still didn't talk much.

It's just that not asking doesn't mean she can really do it and don't mind.

It can't be said that Qi Hao deliberately snubbed her, she just couldn't figure out how busy he was, so busy that he didn't even have the time to have a meal with her.

I feel aggrieved and sad, but I can't tell others.

Therefore, she can only hold it all in her heart.

With a low cry, she covered herself with the covers.

Coming out of the barracks, Du Jiang followed closely behind Qi Hao, and said angrily: "Lord Wang, this Shen Minghui is so hateful, he has intensified his efforts to divide your military power!" ”

"This Dongshan military camp was brought up by you, he didn't contribute half of his efforts, why should he seize power!"

Du Jiang has always been calm, but now he is angry, which shows that he is really angry with Shen Minghui.

Although Qi Hao didn't have a seizure, his face was not much better.

He flicked his sleeves and walked in the direction of the carriage, and said coldly: "If he wants it, will the king have to give it?" This king doesn't like to share things with others! ”

"However, what if he says that he moves the emperor and orders the division of power?" Du Jiang thought for a while, and said anxiously: "The emperor wants you to marry Shen Biyun, in case you really listen to Shen Minghui's bad idea, this is ......"

Qi Hao stood still, his fist clenched tightly in his sleeve.

In recent days, there have been many excerpts in the impeachment of himself and his subordinates.

Qi Hao also guessed the reason why the old emperor didn't make a move, probably because he wanted to bow his head and give in.

However, the old emperor should also know that Qi Hao has been a hard bone since he was a child, how can he easily succumb to it until the last step?

The peach blossom eyes were shining, and he said slowly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." ”

"If you provoke this king, it's a big deal to kill Shen Minghui!"

"This king wants to see, how can a dead man dare to seize power with this king!"

Du Jiang was frightened by the thick murderous aura emanating from Qi Hao's body, nodded, and didn't dare to squeak again.

In the prime minister's house, Gu Nianshi dragged his injured body, took the food he cooked in the small kitchen, and entered the third aunt's room.

When the third aunt was beaten that day, she was unkempt and became more and more like a madman.

When she heard the movement, she looked up at the door, and when she saw that the person who came was Gu Nianshi, she immediately sat up from the bed and said excitedly: "Nianshi!" ”

Gu Nianshi lay in bed for a few days, and the third aunt didn't eat or drink for a few days.

Gu Huai came once during the period, and the third aunt couldn't hold back at that time, and her vigorous crying annoyed Gu Huai, so she had to send a few more maids to serve.

Who would have thought that those maids had already been bought by the eldest lady behind their backs.

They don't serve the third aunt at all, but monitor her every move.

The meals for the third aunt were also raw and cold.

The third aunt couldn't swallow this breath, so she didn't eat a mouthful of food.

Enduring the pain, Gu Nianshi sat on the edge of the bed and brought the hot porridge to her: "Mother, drink some porridge quickly." ”

The third aunt looked at the porridge in front of her, and the old tears were criss: "...... when you read it"

Gu Nianshi patted the third aunt's back and comforted: "Mother, don't be sad, the eldest lady can't lock us up for the rest of our lives." ”

"The most important thing you should do now is to take care of your body and recharge your energy."

The third aunt wiped a handful of tears, cheered herself up, and cheered up: "Well, we can't be defeated by her!" ”

Gu Nianshi handed the bowl to the third aunt, took the opportunity to put his hand behind his back, and quietly rubbed his back that was still painful.

In the evening, Mo Zhiyan looked at the teapot on the table, and her heart was very entangled.

She was holding a small medicine bag in her palm, and she didn't know whether to follow the advice of the eldest lady, put this aphrodisiac into the tea, and wait for Gu Chengen to come back and coax him to drink it.

Remembering what the eldest lady said about using children to tie a man's heart, she gritted her teeth and raised her hand to sprinkle the medicinal powder into the teapot.

Catching a glimpse of Gu Chengen's figure appearing in the courtyard, Mo Zhiyan quickly shook the teapot with a weak heart, and then tidied up her clothes, her heart beating a little fast.
