Qi Hao felt the softness on his lips, and his hand tightened Gu Jinli's waist, and he was reluctant to let go.

"Uh......" Ah Qiao and Du Jiang looked at Qi Hao and Gu Jinli who were mouth-to-mouth, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Feeling the hand on her waist tighten, Gu Jinli reacted.

Pushing Qi Hao away hard, she wiped her lips a few times, looking very disgusted and angry, and scolded angrily: "Shameless!" ”

Qi Hao pursed his lips and looked calm, "Ah Gu, it's not that this king is slighting you, it's you who pounced." ”

"You!" Gu Jinli's black and white eyes were beating with anger, she glared at Qi Hao fiercely, threw the curtain down, endured her numb legs, and got out of the carriage.

Ah Qiao only thought that he couldn't hear or see, and followed behind with his head down.

Qi Hao watched Gu Jinli enter the inn, raised his hand and wiped his lips, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The mood of a dull day seems to be brightened instantly because of her three words "shameless".

Du Jiang was a roundworm in Qi Hao's stomach, and when he saw him pull the corners of his mouth, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

If others are scolded, they will definitely be angry.

But when their prince was scolded, instead of being angry, he was in a good mood, which is really ......

Alas, it's hard to put into words!

However, Du Jiang knew that this person was Gu Jinli, if he changed to someone else, let alone scold Qi Hao, he would not dare to throw his face at Qi Hao.

It can only be said that one thing has fallen into one thing.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Du Jiang's small movements, Qi Hao lowered the corners of his mouth and looked over coldly.

Du Jiang was excited, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, you must be tired after a day's journey, take a good bath in a while, let's catch up for another day tomorrow, and we will arrive in the capital around noon the day after tomorrow." ”

Qi Hao snorted coldly and got out of the carriage.

After Qi Hao entered the inn hall, Gu Jinli had already disappeared.

His brows furrowed unconsciously, and he asked in a deep voice, "Shopkeeper, where is the son just now?" ”

The shopkeeper was planning to make a plate, and when he saw that the guest had come again in the blink of an eye, he immediately stopped.

Seeing that Qi Hao was the same as Gu Jinli, they were both dressed luxuriously, not like ordinary people, and his face was full of smiles: "This guest officer, I don't know what you are talking about, but the little boy in blue clothes who looks very handsome?" ”

Somehow, Qi Hao only felt that the word "handsome" came out of other men's mouths to describe Gu Jinli, which sounded very uncomfortable.

His tone was a little colder, and Qi Hao asked, "Which room did she open?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that Qi Hao's face was not good, and he couldn't understand the relationship between the two of them for a while.

I don't know if it came together, or if the enemy tracked it here, so he didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not.

Qi Hao saw the shopkeeper's hesitation, and he was even more impatient: "Tell me quickly, which room is she in?" ”

Du Jiang tied the carriage, and then came in and said, "Don't be afraid, the shopkeeper, our master and the son just now are brothers." ”

"Oh, that's it." The shopkeeper is also a rare honest man, he listened, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of the second floor, "The little boy is in the second room where the left turn at the staircase above." ”

Qi Hao nodded, walked upstairs without saying a word, and left Du Jiang to pay the bill.

went upstairs, Qi Hao pushed the door, and found that Gu Jinli had plugged in the door bolt from the inside.

He knocked on the door a few times, but heard Ah Qiao's respectful voice sound: "Lord, our master has fallen asleep." ”

Gu Jinli may have really fallen asleep, but she certainly didn't fall asleep.

Qi Hao sighed, although he was eager to know the reason for the inexplicable change in her attitude, it was not good to continue to be dead outside the door.

Otherwise, it would only backfire and cause her to hate him even more.

"Lord Wang, the shopkeeper said that no one lives in these two rooms, do you see?" Pointing to the room opposite and the one next to Gu Jinli's room, Du Jiang asked for Qi Hao's opinion.

Qi Hao didn't speak, and directly answered Du Jiang with actions.

He pushed open the door of the room on Gu Jinli's right and stepped in.

The house opposite was naturally left to Du Jiang.

Ah Qiao leaned on the door, listened to the silence outside, and then said to Gu Jinli, who was half-leaning on the bed: "Master, the prince is gone." ”

Gu Jinli looked at Erlang's legs and pouted: "Ah Qiao, what is the news in Beijing recently?" ”

Even if he is outside, there is a special person to communicate with Ah Qiao about every move in Beijing.

Ah Qiao lay down on the soft collapse on the side, tilted his head and said, "Master, Concubine Mei is pregnant." ”

"The old emperor was very happy, and he actually allowed Concubine Mei to eat and live with him in the future."

"Heh, even Concubine Li, who was arrogant and domineering before, has never received such great grace." After hearing this, Gu Jinli sneered: "It seems that the child in Concubine Mei's belly is really valued by the old emperor." ”

As soon as her words changed, she said coldly: "Concubine Mei is her brother's person, but my brother is not in the capital now, this matter is a bit complicated." ”

"That's right, master." Suddenly thinking of something, Ah Qiao immediately said: "Lei Zi also came with news, saying that the prince will come back from Nanyang in a few days, and he will talk to you about the specific matters in person." ”

As soon as she heard that Chen Zexuan was coming back, Gu Jinli's face was happy: "Really? Brother is coming back? ”

Ah Qiao affirmed: "Yes, what Lei Zi said, it must not be wrong." ”

"That's good." As soon as Gu Jinli thought that she would be able to see Chen Zexuan immediately, the haze in her heart disappeared in an instant, she yawned, and said in a good mood: "Sleep quickly, you have to hurry tomorrow morning!" ”

Seeing that Gu Jinli's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, Ah Qiao bent the corners of her lips.

In fact, she didn't tell Gu Jinli that Chen Zexuan was already on his way back to Beijing.

Pinching the time, no matter what, it was earlier than they went back.

Because, July 28, is Gu Jinli's birthday.

Looking at Gu Jinli like this, she obviously had forgotten.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't remember, but Chen Zexuan always remembers this day.

So, hurry up, he rushed back from Nanyang yesterday, but he just didn't want Gu Jinli to know.

Of course, at the same time, Qi Hao, who was in the next room, was also thinking about Gu Jinli's birthday the day after tomorrow.

He still remembers that two years ago, he carved a hairpin for her with his own hands.

Before Gu Jinli, he had never bothered to prepare any gifts for anyone.

Even Yin Suwan before Gu Jinli, on her birthday, he just picked out some valuable and rare things and sent them.

After all, whether a gift is expensive or not, in the eyes of some people, it will represent the importance of affection.

In Yin Suwan, he is never stingy, and he has always given her the best things.

The hairpin given to Gu Jinli, although not as still as carved by a professional craftsman, is his first time, and it is also the gift he has prepared most carefully so far.

At that time, he mustered up a lot of courage before he made up his mind to set foot in the Shroud Temple.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chengen, who was rumored to have died in the task of suppressing bandits, was in her house.

Gu Chengen was ragged, unkempt, escaped from death, and came back non-stop, not returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion at the first time, but directly risked to Ning Wang's Mansion, in order to see Gu Jinli's side.

His deep affection for Gu Jinli made Qi Hao jealous and unable to vent it.

Because, was Gu Jinli replacing Gu Jin at the beginning? married to Qi Hao's side, Qi Hao beat and scolded her, but Gu Jinli swallowed her anger and suffered it silently.

And when Gu Jinli was about to be tortured to death by Qi Hao several times, it was Gu Chengen who appeared in front of Gu Jinli in time like a god and saved her life.

Therefore, in contrast, Qi Hao is like a heinous villain, where is he qualified to be angry?

However, he is also a face-loving person, and he can't indulge Gu Chengen to appear in Gu Jinli's room in a grand manner no matter what, and the two of them are still hugging each other, so Qi Hao took the opportunity to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Because she was afraid that Qi Hao would hurt Gu Chengen, Gu Jinli still protected Gu Chengen and begged him to let Gu Chengen go.

After Gu Chengen left, Qi Hao angrily wanted to flick his sleeves and leave, but he didn't expect the hairpin hidden in his sleeve to fall in front of Gu Jinli's eyes.

Later, he hugged her and kissed her, and the two of them were all discarded, but at the last step, due to her fear and resistance, he let her go......

However, the next morning, he still couldn't hold back and asked for her......

Thinking about these pasts, Qi Hao only felt that it seemed like a long, long time had passed.

Actually, it's only been two years.

Two years, more than 700 days and nights, said it was not long, and it came in the blink of an eye.

It can be said that it is not short, every day of losing Gu Jinli is a torment for him, and even for the Eighth Prince and Yin Zike.

If you want to talk about heartache and pain, the saddest person is none other than Qi Hao.

Although the Eighth Prince and Yin Zike also had a heart for Gu Jinli, they were entangled with Gu Jinli, and they gave birth to people who loved and hated, and Qi Hao was the only one.

has not paid sincerely, where will Gu Jinli have an unforgettable hatred in the future?

Therefore, there is only one person who can enter Gu Jinli's heart.

As for the other men, for her before her revenge, she was just a passerby.

For her now, the tools she uses are nothing more.

If she can successfully arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow, Qi Hao will not be able to hold a birthday banquet for her.

First, her current identity is fake.

Although there are many people in this world who are on the same day, the same month, but Qi Hao is still worried that someone will find out that "Lin Sheng" is the same day as the birthday of "Concubine Gu" two years ago.

For example, Gu Chengen, who deceived himself with a substitute.

If Gu Chengen found out the clues, I don't know what he would do with his extremely paranoid nature.

Second, looking at her current attitude towards him, she may not necessarily appreciate it.

He is not afraid that the relationship with her will stop in place, but he is afraid that it will worsen and worsen evil.

couldn't help but sigh again, Qi Hao's expression was a little helpless.

Let's take one step at a time.

Who can calculate what will happen in the future?

In Fengluan Palace, Qiu Chan saw the gloomy face of the queen, and knew that she must be unhappy because of Concubine Mei's happiness, so she squatted down and comforted her while helping her wash her feet: "Niangniang, don't worry, the child in Concubine Mei's belly is only a month, we don't need to worry." ”

The queen pinched a lock of hair on her chest, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Xiaoba is finally able to get the emperor to take a look at it now, but look at the emperor, as soon as I heard that Concubine Mei had a piece of meat in her stomach, she rewarded the palace up and down, as if our treasury was rich!" ”

"According to the emperor's favor for Concubine Mei, if Concubine Mei's birth is a son, the emperor will definitely make an edict to establish a prince!"

Qiu Chan said: "Niangniang, the prince's seat has been empty for so many years, and even Prince Ning hasn't been caught, no matter what the emperor says, he won't be so confused as to let a baby in swaddling clothes be the prince." ”

"Don't say that Prince Ning is unwilling, just say that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree."

"Hmph, this country belongs to heaven, what's the use of those old ministers not agreeing?" The queen's tone was disdainful, and she gritted her teeth and said: "As long as the emperor opens his mouth, who dares to disobey?" ”

Feeling the anger on the queen's body, Qiu Cicada lowered her eyes, and became more and more cautious in her actions of wiping the queen's feet, "Niangniang, there are many courtiers who support the Eighth Emperor now, and it can be said that the Eighth Prince has the ability to be equal to Prince Ning." ”

"The slave maid thinks that you should relax and carefully look at the phoenix body."

"Evenly divided?" As soon as the queen heard Qiu Chan mention Qi Hao, she couldn't help but have a distorted face, "If Xiaoba really had this ability, the emperor would have given him the crown prince a long time ago, and the palace could still wait until now?" ”

The queen was happy and relieved that the eighth prince was out of breath before, but this joy was erased by the fact that Concubine Mei was pregnant.

A piece of meat that hasn't even grown out of the nose and eyes can make the old emperor so happy and valued, in contrast, the eighth prince, a teenager who is almost taller than the old emperor, has to work hard to find ways to please the old emperor, it's really useless!

Of course, this also just verifies a truth.

Whether it is in the palace or in the market, it is not wrong for a mother to be more expensive than a child.

In the same way, it is the same that the son is more valuable than the mother.

The old emperor attached great importance to this one-month-old fetus because of Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei is also because of this fetus, and her status in the palace has risen with the tide.

Concubine De is sick again, except for the queen, Concubine Mei is the most noble in the harem, how can this not make the queen jealous?

Moreover, the queen has been counting on the Eighth Prince all these years, but the Eighth Prince is not her biological son, who knows if it can be relied on in the end?

There was a fire in her heart, which burned the queen's eyes scarlet.

But after thinking about it, it is a well-known thing that the old emperor and empress have been inseparable over the years, and the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious.

The queen gave birth to a little prince many years ago, but the prince unfortunately died again.

Later, he failed to have an heir, and the old emperor didn't like it.

If the Eighth Prince is really from the queen, then the old emperor is very likely to hate the house and Wu, and even dislike the Eighth Prince, so the queen herself can only be blamed.

Qiu Chan can be regarded as growing up taking care of the Eighth Prince, and she is both sympathetic and distressed to the Eighth Prince.

Seeing that the queen's words revealed her complaint against the eighth prince, she couldn't bear to persuade: "Niangniang, it is true that the emperor loves Concubine Mei, but if the child does not come out of the belly for a day, it will be a piece of meat for a day." ”

"The emperor was just happy and carried away for a while, and when this happiness is over, there will be nothing."

"Our eighth prince is talented, and the ministers are full of praise for him now, and the slave feels that the emperor still values the eighth prince in his heart."

Indeed, it is impossible for the old emperor to make the child in her belly the crown prince because of his love for Concubine Mei.

Such a simple truth, Qiu Cicada can understand it, and the queen should not know it.

It's just that jealousy made her lose her sense of proportion for a while.

Taking a deep breath, the queen finally suppressed her anger, and her emotions calmed down a little.

That's right, the reason why the old emperor is so happy is that he is so old, and he can still impregnate a woman, satisfying his vanity as a man.

Men, in fact, are also afraid of getting old with women.

The woman's old age is a few extra white hairs in the green silk, small fine lines emerging from the corners of the eyes, and skin that is no longer smooth and delicate.

These signs of aging are obvious on the outside.

And men, outwardly, age slower than women.

Of course, they don't care as much about the aging of their appearance as women do.

What they care about, or that clearly proves that they are really old, is the ability to get in bed.

Once they don't work in bed, they really can't.

Therefore, as they grow older, they become more and more fond of beautiful young women.

If you can plant a seed in them and see their children in their wombs, it will show that they are still fertile.

If you can have children, you will not grow old.

This is the psychology of most men, ridiculous and naïve.

Women, on the other hand, are afraid of getting old, but they also psychologically escape from this fact.

They will not get comfort from the bed like men, but will pay more attention to their dressing than before, or excessive care and recuperation, so that they look as fresh and pink as before.

"Qiu Cicada, find an opportunity to get rid of the belly of Concubine Mei." The queen waited for Qiu Cicada to finish wiping her feet, and said slowly: "This palace wants to see if Concubine Mei will cry to death if she is a stillborn baby a few months after she is pregnant!" ”

There are many ways to get rid of Concubine Mei's child.

Qiu Cicada listened to the queen's meaning, and seemed not to want to directly drug Concubine Mei in the simple and crude way in the past, but let the fetus grow up slowly, and after a period of time, the fetus stopped developing and was stillborn.

Nodding, Qiu Chan responded: "Yes, the slave knows what to do." ”

The queen waved her hand and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, you can step down." ”

"Yes." The autumn cicada picked up the basin and retreated.

Concubine Mei is pregnant, and most people will not be happy except for the old emperor who is happy.

The queen was gradually relieved under the guidance of the autumn cicada, but the eighth prince was not happy for a day because of this.

Finally, at night, when the night was thick, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to it and secretly went to see "Chen Zexuan".

On the night before Qi Hao and Gu Jinli set off, Lei Zi pretended to be Chen Zexuan and pretended to be sick and lived in the palace.

Under people's noses, the old emperor asked Gonggong Jia to condolence from time to time.

There is also Wei Liao's illness of "Chen Zexuan" going back and forth every day, and the old emperor is very relieved.

Although "Chen Zexuan's" serious illness has improved in the past two days, and he can no longer continue to live in the palace, the old emperor still wants to wait for Qi Hao to return to Beijing before letting people leave the palace.

The eighth prince also went to visit "Chen Zexuan" every once in a while, but he didn't know that the person lying on the bed was Lei Zi.

Lei Zi's words and deeds, every move, are eight or nine percent similar to Chen Zexuan.

Fortunately, the Eighth Prince didn't mention any sensitive topics recently, just a simple greeting, so when Lei Zi talked to the Eighth Prince, he didn't show any flaws, and even Ling Chu, who pretended to be Lei Zi, felt that Lei Zi was simply a fake.

If Lei Zi has a different heart for Chen Zexuan one day, and really shows Chen Zexuan's face, I am afraid that it will be the same as Qi Die, which makes people stupid and unclear, which is the real person and which is the impostor.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Lei Zi sat up with Ling Chu's support, and greeted the eighth prince sitting in the chair in a somewhat weak tone: "I have taken medicine for the past two days, and it is still good, which makes Xiaoba worried." ”

The eighth prince knew that it was rude to disturb "Chen Zexuan" late at night, but if he didn't ask for clarification, he would probably not be able to sleep well tonight.

"Brother Shizi." Pursing his lips, the Eighth Prince looked at "Chen Zexuan" deeply and asked, "Concubine Mei is happy, do you know about this matter?" ”

Everyone knows about this matter, how can Lei Zi not know?

Knowing that the Eighth Prince was testing himself, Lei Zi covered his mouth and coughed heartbreakingly.

His coughing face was flushed, as if he was going to cough out a heart before he would give up, which made Ling Chu feel that this play was not easy.

Seeing this, the eighth prince poured a cup of tea for Lei Zi and handed it forward: "Brother Shizi, you drink some water." ”

Lei Zi took the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Ling Chu patted him on the back and sighed, "Shizi, the old prince has also sent a letter today, asking how you are doing in Beijing." ”

"If you don't get better soon, if the old prince knows, he will definitely be worried."

Lei Zi smiled reluctantly and handed the teacup to Ling Chu, "Raise it for a few more days, and it will be fine." ”

Turning his head to look at the Eighth Prince, he said slowly: "Little Eight, I haven't paid too much attention to many things recently because of my body. ”

"Concubine Mei, I'll give you an explanation another day."

The news that "Chen Zexuan" is sick is just like Concubine Mei having joy today, and everyone knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty on the second day.

The ministers of the court were hindered by the old emperor, and it was difficult for them to come to the palace to visit, so they could only ask the eighth prince who was also in the palace to send gifts.

"Chen Zexuan" is not even in the mood to meddle in the affairs of the court, where can he still take care of the chess piece of Concubine Mei?

When the eighth prince heard Lei Zi's words, he affirmed that he didn't know about Concubine Mei.

Since "Chen Zexuan" didn't know, it means that Chen Zexuan is still on his side.

It may be that Concubine Mei is in charge of her own affairs, or there may be something hidden in it.

Thinking like this, the Eighth Prince's mood after a depressed day was much better.

"Brother Shizi, it's not too early, I won't delay your rest." The eighth prince saw that Lei Zi's face was tired, so he arched his hand and walked out of the room.

Except for Lei Zi and Ling Chu, as well as Gu Jinli, who knew that Chen Zexuan had returned to Nanyang, Concubine Mei and the Eighth Prince did not know.

The old emperor baby Concubine Mei, so she has always been taken care of by her side, and no matter what she does, she is not free.

It's been a day, Concubine Mei hasn't sent a letter to explain what the hell is going on, and Lei Zi didn't dare to say anything more in front of the Eighth Prince, so he had to drag it first until the real "Chen Zexuan" came back.

Fortunately, the eighth prince did not suspect it.

Glancing at Lei Zi, Ling Chu stroked the "bang" and beat his heart, and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity.
