It was night, in the old mansion of King Nanyang.

Gu Jinli remembered today's daytime, and said with a long sigh: "Fortunately, I exchanged identities with Ling Chu in time, otherwise with Qi Hao's unwavering strength, he would definitely not let me go again." ”

"Yin Zike's leg, how is it recovering now?" Chen Zexuan's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "You must know that subduing him is, in a certain sense, no less than subduing most of the families. ”

After a pause, he asked again: "You have deliberately approached Yin Suwan these few times, but what did you have in mind about her?" ”

"I really can't hide it from my brother." Gu Jinli nodded, hooked her lips and chuckled: "Since this woman harmed me in her early years, then I naturally won't let her go." ”

Chen Zexuan looked at Gu Jinli and said suspiciously: "Now that Qi Hao doesn't want her, the Yin family has abandoned her, she has no way to live except to rely on the Queen Mother, what are you going to do with her?" ”

Gu Jinli raised her eyebrows, and said, "I have my own opinion on this, so don't ask my brother." ”

Suddenly, the door opened, and I saw Lei Zi come in, and arched his hand: "Shizi, Mrs. Gu is dead, and Mo Zhiyan was escorted into the dungeon of the Gu family by Gu Chengen." ”

"What's going on over there in the Mo family?" Chen Zexuan's eyes lit up and asked.

"Gu Xiang blocked the news, so the Mo family didn't know about it." Lei Zi glanced at Chen Zexuan and said tentatively: "Shizi, do you need your subordinates to reveal the news to the Mo family?" ”

Chen Zexuan nodded, "Go ahead." ”

After Lei Zi went out, Gu Jinli said thoughtfully: "Brother, it stands to reason that Mo Zhiyan has taken care of the eldest lady for two years, and there is no reason to kill her." ”

Chen Zexuan took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if there is a reason or not, the important thing is that everyone now thinks that Mo Zhiyan is the murderer." ”

According to the effective information in Gu Jinli's mind, Mo Zhiyan seems to be a good woman who keeps to herself.

And judging from Chen Zexuan's attitude, it seems that he is the one who made a move on Mo Zhiyan this time.

Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Gu Jinli said in a low voice: "Brother, Mo Zhiyan is innocent. ”

"Besides, the eldest lady is already crazy and can't get in our way, why kill her?"

"When you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, you were abused by her a lot." The peach blossom eyes in the corners of Chen Zexuan's eyes glowed with cold light, and he snorted coldly: "What's more, living like this crazy life is also painful for her." ”

"I let Qi Die do it, which can be regarded as a relief for her."

Gu Jinli didn't expect Chen Zexuan to kill the eldest lady, but part of the reason was for herself.

I couldn't tell if it was moved or something else, she muttered, "Brother......"

Seeing that Gu Jinli was stunned, Chen Zexuan immediately put down the teacup, wiped away the coldness in his eyes, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about Mo Zhiyan, someone will save her." ”

"If I guess correctly, early tomorrow morning, Mo Dongsheng will go directly to the palace to ask the old emperor to make decisions for Mo Zhiyan."

"However, the people of the Gu family insisted that Mo Zhiyan was the murderer, and it was difficult for Mo Dongsheng to find evidence for Mo Zhiyan to clear his name in a short period of time."

"When the time comes, let the Eighth Prince speak for Mo Zhiyan again, and Mo Dongsheng will remember this kindness to the Eighth Prince."

"Brother, having said that, it is not difficult for the Eighth Prince to speak for Mo Zhiyan." Gu Jinli thought for a while and continued: "First, although the Eighth Prince has now begun to contact the affairs of the DPRK and China, this time it is the grievance of the Mo family and the Gu family, and the Eighth Prince has no position to interfere. ”

"Second, the Eighth Prince was not at the scene of the incident at the time, and he just wanted to defend Mo Zhiyan, but there was no basis."

"Thirdly, if there is a slight mistake, the eighth prince will not only be suspected by the old emperor, but also resented by the Mo family and the Gu family."

"It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, it's just that this is a good opportunity for the Mo family and the Gu family to break up, and we can't miss it." Chen Zexuan patted Gu Jinli's hand and signaled her to feel at ease: "You think, King Xuan is like this now, but Gu Huai still has no intention of giving up on him, there must be a reason for this." ”

"As long as the Mo family breaks away from the Xuanwang Party, Gu Huai and King Xuan will be in a hurry at that time, and they will not be allowed to show their feet?"

"As for how the Eighth Prince speaks for Mo Zhiyan, you don't have to worry about this, I will teach him."

Regarding Chen Zexuan's scheming, Gu Jinli has never doubted it.

Since he said that there is a countermeasure, he will definitely not disappoint her.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Jinli said in a deep voice: "My brother helped the Eighth Prince to deal with the Mo family and the Peng family, and the Fang family has the queen around them, so that the camp of the Eighth Prince is really not weaker than Qi Hao at all." ”

"Although the camp is not weak, the eighth prince still has military power in his hands." Chen Zexuan shook his head, squinted his eyes and said quietly: "Without military power, everything is empty talk." ”

Gu Jinli thought of the person she met in the palace during the day, so she answered: "My brother said before that this person is available when Gu Nian. ”

"If you try to transfer him into the army, is it feasible?"

"The barracks are controlled by Qi Hao, and it is difficult to stuff people into it." Chen Zexuan shook his head again, his words changed, and he smiled: "Gu Nianshi stays in the palace, and he can use it at critical moments." ”

"Critical moment?" Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, she looked straight at Chen Zexuan, caught the deep meaning that flashed in his eyes, and instantly understood what Chen Zexuan meant.

Fingers clenched slightly, and her voice trembled slightly: "Brother, do you want to ......"

Chen Zexuan nodded heavily and said word by word: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain. ”

"The Eighth Prince, he wants to ......"

"Bang!"

Without waiting for Chen Zexuan to finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly broke through the window.

"Who's coming?" Chen Zexuan subconsciously protected Gu Jinli behind him, and was about to raise his hand to throw out a palm at the black shadow lying on the ground, but was quickly stopped by Gu Jinli.

Holding Chen Zexuan's arm, she whispered, "It's Master."

After being reminded by Gu Jinli, Chen Zexuan finally recognized who the person with the blood on his face was.

Hurriedly helped the man in black up, he was worried: "Master, who injured you like this?" ”

The man in black was helped up by Chen Zexuan, and after sitting down, he gritted his teeth while holding his chest: "Xiaoyaozi, this old horseman, chased me all the way, if I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid he would have died this time!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" After coughing a few times, he sneered again: "However, Xiaoyaozi has been poisoned by me, and he is the Daluo Immortal, so he must not be able to save him!" ”

"Poof!" Without saying a word, the man in black vomited a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

Chen Zexuan and Gu Jinli glanced at each other, and had no choice but to carry the man in black to the bed.

One brought him a change of clothes, and the other took his pulse.

At the same time, in the Wutong Garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third aunt wiped her unwarranted tears with a handkerchief, and sighed and said: "Although the eldest lady has not treated our mother and son well over the years, but in the end, she has lived under the same roof for so long, how can she not feel uncomfortable when she goes so suddenly?" ”

Gu Nianshi sat on the side, but there was no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but interrupt the third aunt's coquettish attitude: "Okay, mother, there is no one else in the house, don't pretend." ”

"You kid, how did you talk to your mother?" The third aunt wiped her tears, subconsciously looked out of the door, and glared at Gu Nianshi: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, and my mother is really sad." ”

Gu Nianshi suddenly said, "Mother, isn't it you?" ”

"What...... What is Me? The third aunt's eyes dodged slightly, and her face turned cold: "The wall has ears, you don't have to talk nonsense." ”

"It's not too early, you still have to go to the palace on an errand tomorrow, go back quickly."

Gu Nianshi sat still, he looked at the third aunt quietly, and said after a while: "Mother, the eldest brother is working in the criminal department, and this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"Otherwise, the eldest brother will definitely not let us go."

As soon as she heard Gu Nianshi mention Gu Chengen, the third aunt pursed her lips and said disapprenously: "Your eldest brother is now confused by the fox spirit, and besides, you are now the deputy commander of the majestic Praetorian Guard, are we still afraid that he will not succeed?" ”

"Mother, because I am now the deputy commander, you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds in the mansion in the future, and don't provoke right and wrong." Gu Nianshi saw that the third aunt had an indifferent expression, and said patiently: "My mother also knows that my eldest brother is a little unhappy with my promotion to deputy commander. ”

"If you get into trouble again, it's not good that the big brother will ......"

"I know, I know, my mother will definitely not hold you back." While standing up and pushing Gu Nianshi to go out, the third aunt said impatiently: "Mother is going to sleep, you can also rest." ”

"Niang ......" saw that the third aunt had closed the door, Gu Nianshi sighed helplessly, and left depressedly.

The candlelight in the Qingfeng courtyard is still on.

Gu Chengen sat at the table and poured down the sake in his hand cup by cup.

Qi Die, who was on the side, looked at him softly, and although he persuaded in his mouth, he did not stop the action in his hand: "Cheng En, drink pleasantly, drink and hurt your body." ”

"The deceased is gone, I know you're in a bad mood, but you also have to pay attention to your body!"

Gu Chengen had already drunk four or five pots of wine, but he didn't have the slightest intention of getting drunk.

On the contrary, the more he drank, the clearer his mind became.

The more sober I was, the clearer the voice and appearance of the eldest lady in my mind.

With red eyes, he squeezed the wine glass hard, and said with a smile: "When my mother was here before, I hated her. ”

"I am disgusted with her hypocrisy, disgusted with her intrigues and calculations all day long, and even more disgusted with her and Guo ......"

When the three words "Guo Mingyi" were about to blurt out, he bit his tongue and intercepted the rest of the words.

The pain on the tip of the tongue is far worse than the pain in the heart.

After pouring another sip of wine, he put down his wine glass and reached out to stroke Qi Die's concerned little face, "I never thought that my mother would leave so early one day, even if my mother is crazy, I think it will take at least another twenty years for her to leave me." ”

"Die'er, I thought I would hate her for the rest of my life, but the moment I found out that she was dead today, I was so sad, so sad."

"In the past two years, I have punished her by neglecting her, and now that I think about it, I am actually punishing myself."

"If I could treat her better, would she ...... mother?"

People are sometimes like this, they don't know how to cherish when they have it, and they regret it once they lose it.

Although the eldest lady is ruthless and vicious, and has done a lot of bad things, she really can't wait to dedicate everything to Gu Chengen.

Even when dealing with Gu Jinxiu, the eldest lady did not use all her efforts.

It's just that when the eldest lady was alive, Gu Chengen treated the eldest lady very coldly because of his own life experience and Gu Jinli.

Now that I think about it, the eldest lady may be the only person in this world who loves him with all her heart.

This kind of selfless maternal love, without asking for anything in return, without complaint or regret.

The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to suckle, and as the eldest lady's favorite son, how much love has he given back to the eldest lady?

Qi Die wrapped his arms around Gu Chengen's waist, and his voice was so gentle that water dripped out, "Chengen, I will accompany you, always with you." ”

Moved in his heart, Gu Chengen hugged Qi Die's shoulders: "Thank you, Die'er." ”

patting Gu Chengen on the back, Qi Die added: "Don't be sad, there is Xiangye, he will not leave you." ”

Qi Die didn't mention Gu Huai, but as soon as Gu Huai was mentioned, Gu Chengen's eyes immediately dyed with anger as soon as he faded away from sadness.

In the face of the death of the eldest lady, although Gu Huai buried the eldest lady according to the pomp of the main room, he didn't seem to show much grief.

Even if it was because of the affair between the eldest lady and Guo Mingyi in the early years, Gu Huai was dissatisfied, but as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days in one day.

Since the eldest lady married Gu Huai, she has never had an unclear relationship with the man next to her.

dedicated to taking care of the Prime Minister's Mansion for Gu Huai, and also gave birth to Gu Jinxiu for Gu Huai, how can I say that the eldest lady has no merit and hard work.

However, Gu Huai was so indifferent, how could this make people feel chilling?

Moreover, many people in the Xuanwang Party indirectly said that they wanted to choose another master, but Gu Huai kept it vigorously.

What does this mean? It shows that Gu Huai only has King Xuan in his heart!

It's no wonder, after all, King Xuan is Gu Huai's biological son, and he is still the son of the woman Gu Huai loves the most.

Gu Huai is not unswervingly standing on the king of Xuan, who is going to stand?

Closing his eyes, Gu Chengen took away his hatred.

The hand clasped on Qi Die's shoulder tightened, and he said for a long time: "Die'er, I will make them regret it." ”

Qi Die lowered her eyes and was silent.

I was thinking carefully about who they would be in Gu Chengen's mouth.
