Chapter 443: Where to hide
The man was cold, and the rain on his robe drenched the ground.
The Eighth Prince took a step back, the hand hidden in his sleeve tightened into a fist, and his voice trembled slightly: "Gu Chengen? ”
It is clear that a person who has been dead for a few days has appeared in front of his eyes, how can this not be frightening?
Gu Chengen did not speak, but approached the Eighth Prince step by step.
A heart "poof, poof" jumped wildly, the eighth prince hurriedly glanced at the ground, thinking that the old grandmother said when he was a child that ghosts have no shadow, so he stood up straight and preemptively said: "Gu Chengen, my father ordered your Gu family to be beheaded, but you made a plan to get out of the shell of the golden cicada!" ”
"If you are here, you are not afraid that this prince will hand you over?!"
"Poof", this slammed sound, but it was louder than the heartbeat of the eighth prince.
Gu Chengen unexpectedly knelt in front of the Eighth Prince and kowtowed heavily.
In the impression of the Eighth Prince, Gu Shilang, the youngest person in the Criminal Department, is such an indifferent and arrogant person in Su Ri, who has he ever put in his eyes?
The current Guo Mingshun, the Taifu Yin back then, and many old ministers in the court, who did he give a good face?
It's cold all day, as if he's been in the underworld for ten or eight years, and he doesn't have the slightest popularity.
Such a person actually knelt down to the Eighth Prince without saying a word, which didn't frighten him.
Chen Zexuan knew that Gu Chengen was alive, and Gu Jinli also knew that Gu Chengen was alive, but neither of them told the Eighth Prince and Qi Hao about it.
Because Chen Zexuan promised Gu Jinli to let Gu Chengen go, but he didn't expect Gu Chengen, who should have been hiding in the shadows and stealing his life to save his life, but he was bold enough to appear here.
The Eighth Prince didn't know Gu Chengen's intentions, so he could only try to calm himself down.
Speak less, and you won't go wrong.
After Gu Chengen kowtowed, he still knelt on the ground.
Lifting his face, the hair on his forehead was wet with rain and stuck to his face, blocking one eye.
The dark tide was rolling in the other eye, and the scalp of the eighth prince was numb.
"Eighth Prince, I, Gu Chengen, have been able to fall to this point, thanks to Qi Hao." The white lips opened slightly, and Gu Chengen said word by word: "As long as the Eighth Prince can avenge me, I am willing to be the sharpest knife in the hands of the Eighth Prince." ”
"Gu Chengen." The eighth prince took two steps forward, and the heart hanging in his throat was counted.
He pretended to look at Gu Chengen calmly, and said slowly: "Qi Hao is the fourth brother of this prince, and your grievances with him have nothing to do with this prince, so you don't have to put your mind on this prince." ”
After a pause, he glanced at the door, "While there is no one now, you can go, this prince just pretends that he has never seen you." ”
With that, he turned around and stopped looking at Cheng Eun.
Gu Chengen can come to him, it can be seen that he is desperate.
Such an invincible person has become so low-voiced and grovelling because of hatred......
If Gu Jinli knew about this, or if the late eldest lady knew, she would probably not know how many bitter tears she would have.
Gu Chengen's eyes were scorching, and his voice was loud: "I know that the Eighth Prince is now highly sought after by the courtiers, and there is also Xuan Shizi secretly helping, so he doesn't need me as a waste person at all." ”
"However, Xuan Shizi is very thoughtful and has the means, who can guarantee that he will really assist you?"
The Eighth Prince's mood was very complicated and heavy, because of what Gu Chengen said, he had already secretly thought about it.
Chen Zexuan and Gu Jinli were using him, and he was also willing to be used because of Gu Jinli.
It's like knowing a dream, but also not wanting to wake up because of the beauty of the dream.
Chen Zexuan's assistance to him is only temporary, and when the great work is done, he will be the next person to be dealt with.
The Eighth Prince understands this truth, but he is unwilling to admit it.
As for Gu Chengen knowing that the person he relied on was Chen Zexuan, the Eighth Prince was not surprised at all.
After all, Gu Chengen has never been a stupid person.
Since he dared to mention this, it means that he already knew all this.
knew that he and Chen Zexuan teamed up to deal with Qi Hao, and knew that he also coveted the throne.
Such a person should either be kept for his own use, or he should be disposed of quickly.
Gu Chengen saw that the eyes of the Eighth Prince became dim and deep, so he continued to attack his heart: "It's not good to say that after getting rid of Qi Hao, Xuan Shizi will kick the Eighth Prince away after using the Eighth Prince!" ”
"And I, I don't want anything, just revenge!"
"As long as the Eighth Prince is willing to take me in, I am willing to sincerely go to the soup for the Eighth Prince and be the most loyal dog by the Eighth Prince's side!"
"Boom!"
As Gu Chengen finished his last sentence, a muffled thunder sounded outside.
The Eighth Prince chewed Gu Chengen's sentence to be the most loyal dog by his side, looking at his scarlet eyes filled with the flames of hatred, something came out of his heart little by little.
Under Gu Chengen's eager gaze, the Eighth Prince took a deep breath.
With a flick of his sleeves, he turned his back, looked at the dark night, listened to the heavy rain, and said for a while: "Where are you hiding now?" ”
"Nanshan." Gu Chengen stood up to himself and said coldly: "Don't worry, Eighth Prince, no one knows that I am alive for the time being, you are the first." ”
"How did you get into the palace?" The palace is not as good as the outside, since the Gu family and King Xuan were destroyed, the palace has become more heavily guarded, Gu Chengen can avoid so many martial arts night guards, the eighth prince suspects that he may have installed someone in the palace.
Gu Chengen knew the meaning of the Eighth Prince's words, so he said truthfully: "It rained heavily tonight, and I avoided the Praetorian Guards and came in over the wall." ”
After hearing this, the doubts in the eighth prince's heart also lightened.
Gu Chengen's martial arts are very powerful, and the Eighth Prince has heard people talk about it.
Two years ago, on the night Gu Jinli married Qi Hao, he entered the room unknowingly and rescued Gu Jinli from Qi Hao's dagger at the last moment.
If the martial arts were not good, presumably with Qi Hao's strong hatred for the Gu family at that time, how could he let go of Gu Chengen and Gu Jinli?
The Eighth Prince's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "From today on, you will stay in the palace of this prince and be the staff of this prince." ”
"This prince promises that when that day comes, you will definitely get what you want."
After that, he said: "Don't worry, you are absolutely safe to live here with this prince." ”
Originally, the Seven Princes and the Eighth Princes lived in Mingyang Palace, but after the Seventh Princes died two years ago, only the Eighth Princes were left here.
If you want to hide a person in the huge Mingyang Palace, it is very simple.
In other words, if you give Gu Chengen's face to Yi Rongcheng as a guard or a little eunuch, you can follow the side of the Eighth Prince in a bright and bright way.
Living in the palace, eating and drinking without worry, personal safety and security, a fool will abandon the palace and choose to stay in Nanshan, a place where birds don't.
Besides, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Originally, it was an unthinkable thing to cheat death, and he dared to stay in the palace, which was something that no one could have imagined.
It's just that Gu Chengen thought that there was a Qi Die waiting for him in the cave, and he hesitated: "Eighth Prince, I have a reluctant request, and I hope that the Eighth Prince can agree." ”
"What's the matter?" The Eighth Prince looked at Gu Chengen puzzled, wondering if he was going to start making excessive demands.
Gu Chengen was reluctant to expose Qi Die, and said vaguely: "I need to go back to Nanshan first, there are some things that need to be dealt with." ”
Regarding Gu Chengen's fall in love with a woman who looked like Gu Jinli, and he fell out with Gu Huai for the sake of that woman, the eighth prince also heard about it.
It's just that the Eighth Prince is not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't expect that Gu Chengen risked his disapproval to ask for Qi Die because he loved Gu Jinli.
After all, brother and sister incest or something, it is an incredible thing for the emotionally simple Eighth Prince.
Coughing lightly, the Eighth Prince said tentatively, "Are you going to find your Qi Die girl?" ”
Gu Chengen's face froze, and his expression was a little unnatural: "Qi Die has been following me for so long, I can't let her follow me on the adventure." ”
"Moreover, there are many people in the palace, it is dangerous enough for me to hide in the palace alone, if there is one more her, I am afraid that the eighth prince will be affected in the future."
The eighth prince thought for a while and said slowly: "Since you can't bear her, the prince will send someone to choose a safe courtyard for you outside tomorrow." ”
"If you live outside, you don't have to worry about it."
"If there is anything, just send someone to send a message to Xiao Xiangzi."
Although no one would have thought that Gu Chengen would hide in the palace, living in the palace will inevitably be constrained and restricted, if you live outside, you will be much freer.
Moreover, the Eighth Prince should also send someone to ensure his safety.
Gu Chengen thought about it in his heart, and readily agreed: "Then thank you to the Eighth Prince." ”
After saying that, his figure flashed, like a black whirlwind, blowing in front of the eyes of the Eighth Prince.
The back window "squeaked", as if it was blown open by the night breeze from outside, and Gu Chengen was no longer there in the blink of an eye.
The eighth prince was suddenly very glad that he was not Gu Chengen's enemy, but the "master" he found.
Otherwise, with Gu Chengen's skills, it would be easy to kill himself.
As for why Gu Chengen didn't go to Ning Wangfu at night, and used this amazing martial arts to solve Qi Hao happily, there was no other reason, just because his martial arts were still slightly inferior to Qi Hao.
Gu Chengen came and went without a trace, making the Eighth Prince feel as if the conversation just now didn't exist.
He sat down and picked up the teacup, trying to calm himself down, but found that the tea was already cold.
He let out a long sigh, he knew what happened tonight, and he couldn't let anyone know except Xiao Xiangzi.
Of course, since the eighth prince dared to let Xiao Xiangzi know, he was not afraid that he would dare to leak it.
For Xiao Xiangzi's loyalty, he can still trust.
"Little Shoko." shouted towards the door, and the eighth prince waited for Xiao Xiangzi to come in and instructed: "Recently, there has been too much chaos in Beijing, and you have sent people to strengthen the patrol of Mingyang Palace." ”
"Also, secretly select a group of agile and reliable Praetorian Guards, and this prince should also have his own secret guard."
Gu Chengen entered his dormitory without much effort, which shows that the security problem in the palace is very serious.
"Yes, Eighth Prince." Xiao Xiangzi nodded, and when he saw that the Eighth Prince pursed his lips and looked like he wanted to speak, he asked, "What else do you have to order?" ”
The Eighth Prince coughed lightly twice and said in a low voice: "Mingjia immediately went outside to find a secluded place that was not easy to be discovered, and bought a courtyard." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Xiangzi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Eighth Prince, is it your other courtyard?" ”
The Eighth Prince shook his head and said unhurriedly: "It's not the prince's, it's Gu Chengen's." ”
"Gu ...... Gu Shilang? Xiao Xiangzi listened, and thought of the bloody picture of the Gu family being beheaded, and shrunk his neck, "Gu Shilang is not...... Isn't it dead? ”
Xiao Xiangzi really can't understand, how can a dead person live in another hospital?
Could it be that the Eighth Prince still had to prepare a place for Gu Chengen to pay tribute?
However, the Eighth Prince and Gu Chengen don't have any friendship, why should this be?
Xiao Xiangzi's head turned quickly, and he was instantly stunned, "Eighth Prince, should Gu Shilang be ......?"
Seeing the Eighth Prince nodding, he covered his mouth in surprise.
In the cave behind Nanshan, Qi Die sat by the fire, looking out from time to time.
Gu Chengen went to the palace to see the eighth prince, but he hid it from Qi Die.
Before he went out, he only said that he was going to meet someone, but he did not say who he was going to meet.
It was still raining outside, and when the sweet potatoes roasted on the bonfire were almost scorched, Gu Chengen came back with rain.
Her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and said, "Cheng En? ”
While wiping the rain on Gu Chengen's face with a handkerchief, she said softly with concern: "Why have you been there for so long?" Don't use an umbrella, look at this ......."
Before she could speak, she was suddenly hugged tightly by Gu Chengen.
Gu Chengen's whole body was soaked, and the cold air directly invaded Qi Die's clothes, making her shiver from the cold, "Chengen......"
Gu Chengen's hand wrapped around Qi Die's waist was extremely hard, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones before he was willing.
The warmth of her body reached his heart, burning the corners of his eyes.
Seeing that Gu Chengen was just holding himself with those powerful big hands, Qi Die moved his lips and didn't dare to speak.
After a long while, Gu Chengen's voice was hoarse and low: "Die'er...... I'm left with you alone. ”
Yes, from the original high-ranking prime minister's concubine, to a "living dead" in hiding, such a big gap, I guess I can't stand it if I change others.
Gu Huai and Gu Chengen are not related by blood, and it will not be very sad for Gu Chengen that he is dead.
In this world, the people closest to him are only his mother's eldest lady and sister Gu Jinxiu, but these two people also abandoned him earlier.
Therefore, Gu Chengen is indeed only Qi Die now.
Qi Die is his last warmth, the last sunshine, and his support and reliance on this dark road of revenge in the future.
In the past, he was proud and omnipotent in front of Qi Die.
Now he didn't want Qi Die to know, so he lowered his posture and begged the Eighth Prince, became the Eighth Prince's staff, and was in such an embarrassing situation when the mountains and rivers were exhausted.
Furthermore, the less you know, the safer.
In Gu Chengen's eyes, Qi Die is just a weak woman who doesn't understand anything.
The most important thing is that a woman who is regarded as Gu Jinli by Gu Chengen, how could he be willing to put her in danger?
Let's not say that Qi Die's temperament can only learn Gu Jinli's three-point phase, but just looking at that nine-point god-like face, she has become his weakness!
The tears in the corners of his eyes fell into Qi Die's hair, and Gu Chengen seemed to swear, as if he was promised: "Die'er, I won't let you suffer for too long." ”
"Those people owe me, I will let them pay it back one by one!"
It's not just Qi Hao, but also Gu Nianshi!
is also the son of the Gu family, why did Gu Nianshi, as Gu Huai's biological son, escape?
Gu Chengen is unwilling, very unwilling!
Qi Die wanted to ask Gu Chengen who he had gone to see tonight, so much so that he dared to say such cruel words.
But looking at Gu Chengen's current emotional state, she knew that it was in vain to ask, so it was better to wait for Gu Chengen's emotions to calm down in two days, and then inquire on the side.
The hand holding Gu Chengen tightened, her gaze passed through the burning bonfire, landed somewhere, and murmured: "Chengen, I will always be by your side." ”
When she said this, she didn't know how sincere she was.
Gu Chengen cheated to death that day, but in fact, he didn't need to see her and bring it out.
After all, it is Gu Jinli's stand-in, and the fake is the fake, but Gu Chengen found a woman, changed her face according to her appearance, and replaced her.
He is no longer beautiful, and he still has a deep hatred to revenge, but he still cares about her, how can she not be touched by this heart?
However, Gu Chengen is not someone she can love.
First, she instigated and instigated the second aunt to kill his mother, the eldest lady.
Second, she killed their child and framed Zhang Xiaofang's head.
Third, she is the eyeliner that Chen Zexuan planted beside him.
Between them, it was false and wrong from the beginning, what kind of true love are they talking about?
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, she slowly closed her eyes and resisted the urge to cry.
On the tenth day of the queen's grounding, the queen mother had a rare kindness and said to Mama Lan: "Send someone to send this Lotus Sutra to the queen, so that she can copy more and see more if she has nothing to do." ”
"I'm not young anymore, but my temper still doesn't know how to restrain myself."
The Fang family is struggling and being suppressed now, the queen is the face of the Fang family, if they continue to be locked up, it will be very unfavorable to the Fang family.
The old emperor's anger has not completely disappeared because of King Xuan, and if the old emperor lets the queen go now, I am afraid that it will add a new fire to the old emperor.
In the end, they are all people from the Fang family, and the Queen Mother will not "see death and not save her" no matter what.
Mama Lan knew the queen mother's thoughts, but when she went down to the old emperor, she would definitely be unhappy, so she hesitated: "Queen Mother, if you let the emperor know......
"What if you know?" The Queen Mother frowned and said unhappily: "The mourning family just sent this Fahua to pass through so that the queen can cultivate her self-cultivation, and there is no intention to relieve the queen's grounding, what is the emperor unhappy about?!" ”
I have to say that the old emperor's suppression of the Fang family really made the queen mother accumulate resentment in her heart.
People are all temperamental, let alone the queen mother who has been in the harem for many years?
It's just that the Queen Mother is old, and she can't tear her face with the old emperor at will.
"Queen Mother." At this time, the little palace maid came in with a tea tray, and after putting it on the table, she respectfully withdrew.
"Queen Mother, you and the emperor are mother and son, where is there any overnight feud?" Blowing hot tea for the Queen Mother, Mama Lan stepped forward and comforted.
"Mother and son? Didn't the queen also say it? It's better to be a mother than a mother! The emperor is not a mourning ......" The queen mother listened to Mama Lan's persuasion, and the fire in her heart burned even more "crackling".
"Queen Mother!" Mama Lan snorted urgently, subconsciously glanced at the door, glanced at the Queen Mother, and stopped the Queen Mother's words that she was afraid of causing a big mess if she was heard.
The Queen Mother was forced to swallow back the second half of the words, and her heart was so panicked that she had to slam the table hard.
Mama Lan put down the teacup and walked quickly to the door, intending to close the door, but caught a glimpse of a pink figure hurriedly leaving.
Shocked on her face, Mama Lan hurriedly walked her old legs and was about to chase forward.
But the man in front seemed to sense that someone was chasing after him, and he ran even faster, so that there was no one in the blink of an eye.
Although Mama Lan couldn't catch up, she could clearly see that the person was dressed as a palace maid.
dared to run so fast, either because he did something bad or because he heard the conversation between himself and the Queen Mother just now.
Intuition tells Lamma Lan that the latter is more likely.
As soon as the damn palace maid heard the shocking secret, Mama Lan was angry and anxious, and stomped her foot hard.
This stomping gave her an unexpected gain.
Under the shoe, an earring was pressed.
Mama Lan's eyes lit up, picked up the cheap earrings, sneered, and then turned around and walked back.
"What did you do?" Seeing Mama Lan coming back, the Queen Mother's face was very unpleasant.
"Queen Mother, ...... just now" leaning into the Queen Mother's ear, Mama Lan whispered in a low voice.
"What?!" When the Queen Mother heard this, her old face also changed: "You mean, someone heard it......"
Mama Lan nodded heavily, and a touch of cruelty flashed in the old man's eyes, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, this person will be handed over to the old slave to deal with." ”
With that, she grabbed the earrings in her palm and quickly left the room.
There was no one at the door of the room just now, so the palace maid who eavesdropped on the conversation was most likely the one who brought the tea into the house.
Mama Lan plans to test it first, and then go to find someone from this earring.
In the imperial study, the old emperor was in a good state this time, and got out of bed with the support of Gonggong Jia.
In recent days, the recitals have piled up into a high stack, even though the mind and body are tired, but in his position, to seek his government, the old emperor still has to go to read a batch.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has something important to say, Your Majesty ......"
"Bold, this is the Imperial Study, have you been blinded?"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door, as well as the sound of pushing and swearing.
While holding a pen and drawing a dot on the fold, the old emperor frowned and said unhappily: "Xiao Jia, you go out and see what's going on." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial study is an important place in the palace, and no one has ever dared to shout here, so with curiosity, Gonggong Jia pushed the door and walked out.
I saw an old woman dressed simply, with gray hair and a rickety figure, being stopped by two Praetorian Guards, one left and one right.
When she saw Father-in-law Jia coming out, she immediately looked like the person who was about to be beheaded had seen a savior, and while waving her hand to Father-in-law Jia, she shouted: "Xiao Jia, it's me!" I'm Mama Fengchun! ”
