After Gu Jinli walked out of Yin Suwan's courtyard, the corners of her mouth had always been in an upward arc.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Ah Qiao couldn't help but be curious: "Master, what did you say to the Lord of the Summer Palace just now?" Why are you so happy? ”

In the palace, where this person has many eyes, Ah Qiao naturally has to call Yin Suwan the "county lord".

Gu Jinli glanced at Ah Qiao meaningfully, lowered her voice and said, "Just now, if I had reacted slowly, I would have lost my body by now." ”

"Huh?" When Ah Qiao heard this, she opened her mouth wide, realizing something, she looked back in the direction of Yin Suwan's courtyard in disbelief, and whispered, "What do you mean, the county lord of Yihe...... She's going to ...... you."

Gu Jinli nodded and sneered: "Yes, throw yourself into your arms." ”

Ah Qiao felt that this matter was not trivial, and asked urgently: "What about ...... Did she suspect your identity? ”

Gu Jinli shook her head, "If she finds out, do you think I will come out in a good way?" ”

"What the master said is that all slaves and maids are too stupid." Ah Qiao smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly his eyes inadvertently fell on the red dress not far away, and he pulled Gu Jinli's sleeve, "Master, look." ”

Gu Jinli followed Ah Qiao's gaze and saw the Eighth Prince standing next to the flowerbed with his hands behind his back.

He bowed his head slightly, as if looking at the delicate rose in front of him.

Behind the eighth prince is Xiao Xiangzi with a respectful attitude.

Gu Jinli walked a few steps, and when she saw that the Eighth Prince was looking attentively, she didn't dare to disturb out loud.

From the side, the Eighth Prince's eyelashes were thick and slender, and the sunlight sprinkled down thinly, making his whole person seem to be bathed in a faint layer of golden light.

Quiet and nice.

Probably hearing Gu Jinli's approaching footsteps, the Eighth Prince turned his head, and a shallow light crossed his eyes.

Gu Jinli thought that this place was not close to Mingyang Palace, if the Eighth Prince went to the imperial study, he would not go through this road, could it be that he was waiting for himself?

Nodding, she said gently: "Eighth prince, what a coincidence." ”

The Eighth Prince also smiled slightly, but said, "I have something to say to Lin Gongzi, so I am waiting for you here." ”

Gu Jinli was surprised that the Eighth Prince was so straightforward, she was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced around, and when she saw no one, she said, "Okay." ”

"Still, we can go over there and talk as we go."

Pointing to the artificial lake in the distance, she asked for the opinion of the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince looked at the rose again, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to pluck it.

frowned, and then he wiped off the sudden appearance of Yin Hong on his fingers without a trace.

Just when Gu Jinli didn't understand what the Eighth Prince was going to do when he picked roses, the next moment she saw that the Eighth Prince actually handed the roses to her.

Gu Jinli's eyes widened, and she couldn't cry or laugh: "Eighth Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”

Anyway, she is now dressed as a man, and the Eighth Prince, as a man, actually gave her a rose, what does this mean? ?

Xiao Xiangzi and Ah Qiao, their eyes unblinking, seemed to be waiting for the response of the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince looked calm and didn't speak, just looked at Gu Jinli with a pair of clear eyes.

It seems that Gu Jinli didn't answer, so he kept this action of lifting flowers.

Although there were not many people around who were always moving, Gu Jinli's face was a little embarrassed when they were stared at by Xiao Xiangzi and Ah Qiao.

She didn't know what kind of mood to hold, but anyway, she took the flowers.

When her eyes touched the place where the Eight Emperors had been pierced by the rose thorns, blood was pouring out again, and she reminded, "Eighth Prince, your hands are bleeding. ”

Seeing that Gu Jinli had accepted his roses, the Eighth Prince said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." ”

With that, he walked forward.

Gu Jinli was holding this delicate rose in her hand, how awkward it looked.

It's not a problem with flowers, it's a problem with people.

However, she couldn't lose the flower, so she could only follow behind the Eighth Prince, and asked without words: "Eighth Prince, what is the matter with you looking for me?" ”

The two of them met at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last time, but there was no communication.

And last time, the Eighth Prince learned Gu Jinli's true identity, and rushed to Xia Heyuan with emotion, and then Gu Jinli was drugged by Fen'er, and almost ...... with the Eighth Prince

After so many days, it's better for everyone to forget about it.

After all, it's not a good memory.

Of course, she always thought that Qi Hao came back in time, so that her identity as a woman was not exposed in front of the Eighth Prince.

Who knows, how charming her half-exposed shoulders were that day......

After walking a distance, the Eighth Prince stopped, turned his head and whispered, "This time, I won't go to the Cloud Country with you." ”

Gu Jinli didn't notice that the Eighth Prince used a "I" and called himself "you".

When she heard this, she was surprised: "Huh? Why? ”

The Eighth Emperor pursed his lips and said slowly: "My father made a temporary decision last night, and I don't know the reason for it. ”

Gu Jinli thought for a while and said tentatively: "Could it be that the emperor is worried that you and Qi Hao have left the capital, and something will happen in the capital?" ”

The eighth prince didn't expect Gu Jinli to mention this issue, his eyes darkened, and his expression was indistinguishable: "Perhaps, it is as you said that my father is worried that someone will take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the capital and make waves." ”

When he said the last four words, the eighth prince looked at Gu Jinli meaningfully.

The eyes of the two collided, and each other's eyes had the meaning of second understanding.

Gu Jinli sneered in her heart, the old emperor only focused on guarding against Chen Zexuan, but he didn't know that today's Xiaoba was not an innocent and kind person.

He is like a tiger cub, and when the time comes, he may be more ferocious than an adult tiger.

Hooking her lips, Gu Jinli said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, the eighth prince will stay in Beijing to help the emperor deal with government affairs and solve problems." ”

Regarding Gu Jinli's identity, whether she is Gu Jinli, or the three of them are in the same boat. The Eighth Prince and Chen Zexuan have not yet been singled out.

This time he went to Yunguo, there was nothing important, even if the Eighth Prince didn't go, staying in Beijing was an excellent opportunity for him to ascend to the throne.

It's just that these words can't be said explicitly, everyone is a smart person, and it's good to know some things.

However, the Eighth Prince privately wanted to go to the Cloud Country.

Because, he wanted to accompany Gu Jinli together.

Or rather, he was worried that if Qi Hao and Gu Jinli were left alone, their relationship would heat up.

What if, the old love is rekindled?

Such an outcome is not what he wants to see.

One step faster than his head, the eighth prince blurted out: "But I want to go." ”

"Uh......" Gu Jinli didn't know what the Eighth Emperor was thinking, but when he felt uncomfortable because the old emperor had changed his attention, he patiently comforted: "Actually, there is nothing fun in Yunguo. ”

"Moreover, this time it is to celebrate the birthday of Queen Yunguo, and you also know that every time we have a banquet, except for drinking, we are just watching singing and dancing, which is not interesting."

The Eighth Prince's eyes were scorching, and he almost said the words in his heart.

He turned his face away, his gaze fell into the distance, and he said after a while: "You're right, the palace banquet is really nothing fun." ”

However, because there will be you at the palace banquet, I want to go!

Gu Jinli felt that the Eighth Prince was a little strange today, and seeing that there was more and more blood flowing from his fingers, he couldn't help but whisper: "Eighth Prince, let go of your hand!" ”

The eighth prince didn't feel anything, he was just panicked and panicked, but he couldn't show it, so he could only clench his fists tightly.

Spread out his hand, but he didn't expect that the small rose thorn just now would draw a deep trace.

"Ouch, master!" Seeing this, Xiao Xiangzi was so shocked that he hurriedly stepped forward, but Gu Jinli took a step earlier.

"Does it hurt?" Gu Jinli took out her handkerchief and asked while lowering her head and wiping the blood in the palm of the Eighth Emperor's palm.

The Eighth Prince looked at Gu Jinli and said softly, "It hurts." ”

"Why don't you let go of the pain?" Gu Jinli meant to say that since it hurt, she shouldn't clench her fists, so that the thorns of the roses were pierced into the flesh.

The Eighth Prince didn't speak, and after letting Gu Jinli squeeze out the thorns in his flesh, he whispered, "Reluctantly." ”

Even if there is a difference of six years, even if it is never possible, he is reluctant to let go.

This rose, beautiful, with thorns, just like her, makes people want to pick it off and hide it to enjoy it alone......

Gu Jinli didn't hear clearly, continued to bandage the wounds of the Eighth Emperor, and asked again, "What did you say?" ”

The eighth prince shook his head, and when he saw a little eunuch coming over on the side path, he withdrew his hand from Gu Jinli's hand and suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, "It's nothing." ”

Gu Jinli and Ah Qiao didn't hear clearly, but Xiao Xiangzi looked carefully at the shape of the Eighth Emperor's lips, and he looked at Gu Jinli's affectionate and complicated eyes, Xiao Xiangzi couldn't help but worry.

The queen is looking forward to the eighth prince working hard and ascending to the throne, if she knows that the eighth prince is deeply involved in an uncle-sister-in-law relationship, she will be angry to death!

As the little follower sent by the queen to the side of the eighth prince, Xiao Xiangzi is very entangled in his heart at the moment.

He didn't know whether he should tell the queen about Gu Jinli's identity and the eighth prince's love for Gu Jinli.

As for the public, he should have reported the news.

In terms of selfishness, he knew that once Gu Jinli's identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For the Eighth Prince, for Gu Jinli, and even for Chen Zexuan, it will be like setting off stormy waves.

Gritting his teeth, he thought that Gu Jinli would go to the Cloud Country with Qi Hao in the afternoon anyway, and he would have to leave the Qi Kingdom for five or six days before and after.

The eighth prince can't see Gu Jinli, and his feelings for her may be a little weaker.

As long as the Eighth Prince doesn't fall deeper and deeper, then Xiao Xiangzi will rot this secret in his stomach!

"The slave has seen the Eighth Prince." The little eunuch asked the eighth prince to say goodbye, and he was about to leave in a hurry.

"Stop." The Eighth Prince's eyebrows were cold, and he drank him: "Which palace are you from?" Why hasn't this prince seen you before? ”

The little eunuch was frightened, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the Eighth Prince, the slave is in Concubine Mei's Palace." ”

"The master is unwell, so the slave went to the hospital to ask for a doctor."

The Eighth Prince had a number in his heart and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

After the little eunuch ran away, the eighth prince said to Gu Jinli: "This Concubine Mei has been very favored recently. ”

"I don't know what Gongzi Lin thinks of her?"

Gu Jinli suddenly wanted to hear the thoughts of the Eighth Prince, and asked, "What do the Eighth Princes think?" ”

The eighth prince thought for a moment and said, "I sent someone to check her details, and there is no problem." ”

"However, the more it is clean, the more problematic it is."

"Not long after Concubine Mei entered the palace, she suddenly became her father's pillow pet, which shows that she is not simple."

"That'...... Who does the Eighth Prince think she is? The corners of Gu Jinli's lips are more curved, and the light in her beautiful eyes is so bright that people can't be forced to look at.

The eighth prince's heart moved, and he didn't dare to say surely: "Could it be that she is ......?"

Gu Jinli nodded, "My own people." ”

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he was indeed a little surprised.

He never thought that Chen Zexuan's hands would be so long that he could place people in the harem.

The smile on Gu Jinli's face was very bright.

The kind of self-confidence revealed by her made the eighth prince feel a little inexplicably "self-ashamed".

He felt that he really couldn't compare with Chen Zexuan.

Whether it is talent and strategy, or power and position, he and Chen Zexuan are different from each other.

Chen Zexuan has been by Gu Jinli's side for two years, and he can give her a lot of things.

If it weren't for Chen Zexuan's ability to protect her, presumably she wouldn't be so comfortable and confident in dealing with things.

It can be said that Chen Zexuan is the big tree behind Gu Jinli, sheltering her from the wind and rain, and her solid backing.

On the other hand, the little support he has now is all based on Chen Zexuan.

He was a pawn of the queen when he was a child.

Now, it's Chen Zexuan's chess piece......

He can't compare to Qi Hao, he can't compare to Chen Zexuan, and he dares to have a different mind about Gu Jinli, why is he?!

However, that obsession has been silently rooted in his heart for too long!

As he said just now, even though he knew that it would hurt and bleed, he was still reluctant to let go!

The thorns of the rose can be picked out of the flesh, but he can't uproot Gu Jinli's feelings from the bottom of his heart!

Sadness was born from the heart, and the face of the eighth prince became darker and darker.

Sensing that something was wrong with the Eighth Prince, Gu Jinli asked, "Eighth Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”

The Eighth Prince exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, clenched his fists again, and said with a wry smile: "It's a little painful." ”

Gu Jinli naturally thought that the Eighth Prince was talking about the injured hand, so she touched the sachet she was carrying, and found that it was empty, so she said embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry, I forgot to put some ointment in it." ”

"If the Eighth Prince is in pain, he should also go to a doctor and take some medicine."

The Eighth Prince stared at the sachet on Gu Jinli's waist for a moment, with a hint of pleading in his voice: "Young Master Lin, can you give me this sachet?" ”

Back then, he broke his leg and was chilled by the dark court strife.

What is rare is that she gave him a sachet so that he would not completely die of life.

Looking at the sachet on her body again, I can't help but feel that it would be good if I could catch something.

The Eighth Prince didn't say why, Gu Jinli was just stunned for a moment, and didn't ask anything, so she happily untied the sachet and handed it to the Eighth Prince.

It's just a sachet, and to Gu Jinli, it's nothing.

But after sending it out, she said: "This sachet is exquisite, but if the Eighth Prince really likes it, I can go back and fill you with some herbs that can calm your mind and help you sleep." ”

The eighth prince carefully put the sachet into his arms, and his face looked much better than just now, "Don't bother Lin Gongzi." ”

Glancing at the sky, he said, "It's not too early, so I won't delay Lin Gongzi's time." ”

Gu Jinli thought that she really had to go back to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise what if Qi Hao really left without leaving a word?

"Then I'll go back first." Gu Jinli arched his hand to the Eighth Prince, and then planned to leave with Ah Qiao.

She had just walked out a few steps when she heard the Eighth Prince say behind her: "Be careful all the way." ”

The Eighth Prince's "sudden" concern today made Gu Jinli a little at a loss.

Her heart jumped, and she continued to walk on as if she hadn't heard.

When Gu Jinli disappeared from the sight of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince still stood motionless.

Xiao Xiangzi couldn't look at it, and said helplessly: "Eighth prince, everyone has already gone away, let's go back too?" ”

The Eighth Prince retracted his gaze, turned around and walked in the direction of Mingyang Palace.

When he walked to the gate of the palace, he paused suddenly, turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiangzi coldly.

Xiao Xiangzi was coldly stared at by the cold eyes of the Eighth Prince, and said in confusion: "Eighth Prince, what's wrong?" ”

"I can't tell the queen mother about today." The Eighth Prince meant something, and said in a sharp tone: "Also, you'd better always remember that you are the person of this prince, not the queen mother!" ”

The warning in the words of the eighth prince was full of warning, and Xiao Xiangzi nodded worriedly: "Yes, yes, the slave remembers." ”

If he was a little hesitant just now, now after listening to the words of the Eighth Prince, Xiao Xiangzi completely dispelled the idea of telling the queen.

The Eighth Prince snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves into the room.

On the carriage back to Ning Wangfu, Gu Jinli frowned while playing with the roses in her hand: "Ah Qiao, do you feel that something is wrong with the Eighth Prince?" ”

After thinking about it, except for the Eighth Prince, who was the same as Yin Zike, she doubted her identity, and she couldn't think of anything else.

Ah Qiao said truthfully: "What the master said is right, the Eighth Prince's attitude towards you today is indeed a little different from usual. ”

"But the slave and maid can't say anything strange, the master better be careful in the future."

Gu Jinli threw the roses into the soft collapse, and said absentmindedly: "I'm not too worried about the Eighth Prince, I'm just worried about what trouble I will have when I go to the Yun Kingdom this time." ”

Ah Qiao comforted: "Don't worry, master, the lord will also go with us." ”

Gu Jinli said "um", and unconsciously destroyed the roses in her hands.

In the blink of an eye, the delicate petals fell off a carriage.

After the spicy hand destroyed the flowers, the boredom in Gu Jinli's heart dissipated a little.

"Young Master Lin, the palace has arrived." At this time, the coachman stopped the car and opened the curtain for Gu Jinli.

As soon as Gu Jinli leaned out, she saw Qi Hao's carriage also stop.

As a result, the two of them looked at each other for a while, and their expressions were a little unnatural.

It seems that he hasn't seen Qi Hao all night, and Qi Hao looks a lot haggard.

Right now, his hair is blue and his beard is unkempt, what is he doing in the barracks?

Is it that they have been ravaged?

Feeling awkward, Gu Jinli deliberately waited for Qi Hao to get off the carriage and enter the gate of the palace before getting off.

Keeping a distance not far away, Gu Jinli followed behind Qi Hao, looked at his slender figure, and pouted.

Qi Hao also seemed to have deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for Gu Jinli, but Gu Jinli was slower than a snail, and deliberately fell behind him.

Helpless, he could only stop and said lightly to Gu Jinli: "You go back and prepare, and after lunch, go to Yunguo with this king." ”

This trip to Yunguo, only the two of them, rare solitude, Qi Hao really hopes that after leaving Qi Kingdom, leaving the capital, away from Chen Zexuan and the old emperor and others, the relationship between him and Gu Jinli can be eased with this trip.

Gu Jinli raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Why didn't the prince say it earlier?" It's good to give me more time to prepare. ”

"It's less than three hours to go, it's too hasty!"

Hearing the dissatisfaction and complaint in Gu Jinli's tone, Qi Hao's face was calm, and he said unaffected: "The food and clothing on the road have already been prepared by Du Jiang, but it is inconvenient for you to take care of some small things that you commonly use." ”

"You can go back and clean up briefly, it won't take long."

"Hmph, the prince is so caring, it really touches me." Gu Jinli doesn't like to look at Qi Hao's good-tempered face every time, she can't move the thunder, which makes her feel weak and weak when she punches the cotton, and she has no sense of accomplishment.

Turning her head, she strode away with Ah Qiao.

Now Gu Jinli is too late to hold and protect Qi Hao? How dare you throw her face?

Her petty temperament, bad temper, Qi Hao can only endure it, what else can he do?

I owed her back then, but now I have to make up for it even if I cry!

It has been five days since Qi Die's miscarriage.

In the past five days, Gu Chengen has been going back to his house to accompany Qi Die most of the time except for going to the court.

In the affairs of the Criminal Department, Gu Chengen is no longer as attentive as before, which makes Gu Huai very annoyed.

After lunch, Gu Huai sent someone to invite Gu Chengen to the study.

Qi Die's incident was just the fuse that caused the conflict between the father and son.

After a few words, the two quarreled.

Gu Huai reprimanded Gu Chengen by Qi Die, dissatisfied that he was bent on getting into the affairs of men and women, and threatened Gu Chengen to be so ridiculous again, so he drove Qi Die out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since Gu Chengen had already had the idea of leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, so through this quarrel, Gu Chengen also spoke ruthlessly, without Gu Huai driving away, he would leave with Qi Die.

His own son Gu Nianshi had already left home and lived in the palace, Gu Huai didn't expect that Gu Chengen would really break away from the Gu family, he was stunned at first, and then he came up angrily, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke.

The final result was that Gu Chengen took Qi Die, who was still in the stage of postpartum recuperation, in a carriage half an hour later.

Gu Chengen didn't want to move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion so early, but now, he directly took Qi Die to his other courtyard outside the city, that is, the courtyard where he wanted to stay with Gu Jinli for the rest of his life two years ago.

That courtyard, inside and out, is arranged according to Gu Jinli's preferences, and if it is sold on the market, it is worth a lot of money.

But Gu Jinli died, and the person who accompanied him was Qi Die.

Qi Die really loves him and lost a child for him, so Gu Chengen wants to compensate Qi Die from the bottom of his heart.

Or, give Qi Die everything he wanted to give Gu Jinli as a substitute, and it would be better to regret the regret in his heart.

Qi Die has eaten a lot of tonic products that Gu Chengen has found from everywhere in the past few days, and his body is fine.

She was already weak and didn't talk much, and she was taken away from the Prime Minister's Mansion by Gu Chengen, and she just nestled in Gu Chengen's arms and pretended to sleep all the way.

After Gu Chengen left, Gu Huai was so angry that the green tendons on his head jumped "suddenly", and he fainted without taking a breath.
