After getting out of the carriage, Gu Jinli didn't even hold an umbrella, and went directly into the clothing store in the rain.

Qi Hao stared at Ah Qiao and Du Jiang's strange eyes, and also followed behind Gu Jinli.

The owner of Yunshuifang knew Qi Hao, and when he saw Qi Hao coming, he stepped forward from behind the counter and saluted.

Gu Jinli didn't even glance at the boss, her cold gaze swept around the shelves with ready-to-wear hangings, and then stopped on a purple robe.

Regardless of whether the clothes were the right size or not, she ripped them off and took them and walked inside.

"Hey, Childe, you can't ...... that room" The boss was stunned, feeling a little strange.

"Find a black robe for the king." Qi Hao raised his hand and interrupted the boss's words.

"Yes." Since Qi Hao had spoken, the boss had no choice but to turn around and find a black robe with the best workmanship from among the many clothes.

Qi Hao took it over, and walked towards the room Gu Jinli went to just now.

When he entered, Gu Jinli had already changed into his robe and was wearing a belt.

The old clothes, wet with sweat and light rain, were thrown to the ground by her.

The clothes were clumped together, and there were a few obvious footprints on them, which showed that Gu Jinli had stomped a few feet just now.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Qi Hao coming in, and the aura on Gu Jinli's body suddenly turned cold.

Qi Hao didn't dare to talk to Gu Jinli, he changed his clothes in three or two, faster than Gu Jinli.

When Gu Jinli threw off the curtain and walked out of the room, he also quickly followed, for fear that Gu Jinli would abandon him in anger.

Du Jiang had already paid the money, so when he saw Gu Jinli and Qi Hao going out, he hurriedly held an umbrella for the two of them.

Gu Jinli walked with the wind and was violent, she pushed away the umbrella above her head, and said in annoyance: "Go away." ”

The reason why I changed my clothes was just because I was tossed by Qi Hao and felt uncomfortable.

What is rain? It's better than wearing that outfit that makes her embarrassed!

Qi Hao just saw that she had a good temper recently, so she dared to bully her!

Who still went to the palace to see the old emperor? Whoever loves to go, who goes!

She doesn't want to go back to Ning Wangfu now, anyway, the rain is not heavy, she has to go out to breathe!

"Ah Gu, where are you going?" Qi Hao saw that Gu Jinli didn't get into the carriage either, just rushed forward like a lit cannonball, and couldn't help grabbing her arm from behind.

"Qi Hao, don't force me to do it!" Gu Jinli gritted her teeth, and she had the intention of dismantling Qi Hao into eight pieces.

"The capital has not been peaceful recently, don't run around." Qi Hao put Gu Jinli's hand in his palm, interlocked his fingers, and then stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Now that the phase is vacant, don't you want to go to the palace with me to see who my father wants to press on this seat?" ”

Gu Jinli wanted to refuse, but she really couldn't refuse.

The position of prime minister has a pivotal role.

Because of this, this seat should not be vacant for too long, otherwise it will cause turmoil in the court.

Although Qi Hao was not summoned to the palace by the old emperor this time, when the old emperor saw him, he would definitely discuss with him about the choice of prime minister.

Chen Zexuan wanted to use the power of hundreds of officials to elect Guo Mingshun, but it was impossible for the old emperor to fully accept the suggestions of hundreds of officials.

After all, the old emperor values Qi Hao very much, and if he wants to choose the prime minister, he has to refer to Qi Hao's opinion.

It's like putting a big fish in front of the cat, waiting for Gu Jinli to take the bait.

Swallowing her anger, Gu Jinli snorted coldly, squinted her eyes, and said angrily: "Go!" Why not?! ”

Du Jiang and Ah Qiao were far apart, and they didn't know what Qi Hao said to Gu Jinli, so that she changed her mind so quickly.

Shaking off Qi Hao's hand, Gu Jinli got into the carriage by herself.

Qi Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and his worried heart fell.

Don't look at the fact that he pinched Gu Jinli just now, in fact, he was just pretending to be calm.

There is no way, between men and women, it's like fighting.

When you meet on a narrow road, the cheeky one wins.

The carriage ran back in the direction of the palace gate, and Gu Jinli in the car glared angrily at Qi Hao, who didn't dare to speak, let alone move.

He sat upright, a rare seriousness, accepting Gu Jinli's sharp gaze that wanted to cut him like a knife.

The cold breath in the carriage spread out, making Ah Qiao shudder.

"Da Da Da Da", after a tea time, the carriage stopped.

Ah Qiao knew that it was impossible for Gu Jinli to let Qi Hao get close, but if she went in with the rain like this, although the rain was small, she would also catch a cold, so she took the initiative to set up an umbrella for her.

After arriving at the old emperor's bedroom, Gu Jinli symbolically gave the old emperor a pulse with an expressionless face, and then said a few words about the scene of recuperating with peace of mind and consciously retreated aside.

"I still have some things to say with Lord Ning, you can step back first." The old emperor cleared his throat, looked at Gu Jinli, who had no eyesight at all, and said in a deep voice.

Qi Hao smiled, "Father, Sheng'er is not an outsider, just say whatever you have to say." ”

"Fourth." The old emperor glared at Qi Hao dissatisfied, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.

Qi Hao pursed his lips and looked at Gu Jinli meaningfully: "Father, Sheng'er is the person of the son, and she is to the son, just like the meaning of Gonggong Jia to you, she is worthy of trust." ”

The old emperor knew before that the "adulterous affair" between Qi Hao and "Lin Sheng" could not be cleaned up and messed, but now when he heard Qi Hao say it so bluntly, he was so angry that his beard curled.

Although Father-in-law Jia is not a real man, he not only has the loyal spirit of a man, but also has the delicate mind of a woman.

"Lin Sheng" is just a rude person in the countryside, how can she be compared to Father-in-law Jia? This is insulting Grandpa Jia!

Qi Hao didn't let Gu Jinli leave, and Gu Jinli stood in place with low eyebrows.

She ignored the two fierce gazes shot by the old emperor, and just didn't leave.

Seeing Gu Jinli standing still, the old emperor had no choice but to be angry with Qi Hao and said, "Well, if you are not afraid of being sold, then I have nothing to worry about!" ”

"Half an hour ago, many ministers of the DPRK and China played excerpts, asking me to hurry up and finalize the candidate for prime minister, what do you think?"

Qi Hao pretended to think about it and asked, "I wonder if those ministers have already recommended candidates?" ”

The old emperor nodded and said slowly: "Most people recommend Guo Mingshun, I want to hear what you mean." ”

Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, straightened up, held her breath and concentrated, waiting for Qi Hao's answer.

Guo Mingshun is Chen Zexuan's person, and Qi Hao should know it.

Even if Qi Hao doesn't know, if it is out of his position, he should not recommend Guo Mingshun.

After all, two years ago, Qi Hao and Mrs. Yin had a discord over Gu Jinli, and Guo Mingshun, as Mrs. Yin's friend, naturally stood on the opposite side of Qi Hao.

It stands to reason that Qi Hao doesn't need to make enemies for himself with his own hands, it's too stupid.

As Qi Hao was silent for longer, Gu Jinli's heart beat faster and faster.

She finally understood why Qi Hao would use this to "lure" herself into the palace just now, because Qi Hao wanted her to suffer here.

He knew what answer she wanted to hear the most, but he insisted on being so prospering, hesitating, and not giving her a pleasure at all, which was really annoying!

"Fourth, you ......" The old emperor waited a little impatiently, and just frowned and was about to ask, but he heard Qi Hao's voice calm and powerful: "Erchen obeys the will of his father." ”

This is the same as not saying it, but it implies a lot of content.

Earlier, in fact, the old emperor was more inclined to Gu Huai in his heart.

Later, when the old emperor learned that Gu Huai was hiding Feng Se, he was dissatisfied with him.

In the past two years, Guo Mingshun and Gu Huai have secretly not dealt with each other, and the two are evenly matched, but no one can pull anyone down.

The old emperor didn't like Gu Huai, but on the premise that he didn't make a big mistake, he couldn't do anything to him.

With Guo Mingshun and Gu Huai sharing power to compete, the old emperor was very happy.

Now that Gu Huai is dead, it seems reasonable to push Guo Mingshun, who has won the hearts of the people, up.

Guo Mingshun is very good at dealing with people, and he understands the thoughts of the old emperor the most, if such a person doesn't go up, who else can go?

You can't let the people of the Fang family take possession of that place.

However, among the ministers of the Fang family, there is really no one who has this ability and qualifications.

Fang Jinyang is too young to hold down the scene at all, and other elderly people are mediocre and incompetent, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

After thinking about it in his heart, the old emperor didn't nod directly, but he didn't refuse, he just said that he would think about it again.

Although he didn't have an accurate word, Qi Hao understood the old emperor, and he almost had already made up his mind.

Seeing that the old emperor had nothing else to do, Qi Hao took Gu Jinli and left.

Out of the dormitory, the smile on the corner of his lips faded a little.

In fact, according to his thoughts, he is not willing to support Guo Mingshun to take the throne at all.

First of all, regardless of personal grievances, only in terms of character, Guo Mingshun is not an upright and righteous person.

He is scheming, flattering and flattering, such a person sits in the position of prime minister, isn't this disturbing the court?

Secondly, it is true that as Gu Jinli thought, Guo Mingshun is Chen Zexuan's person, and he is naturally unwilling to plant the enemy's minions in such an important position.

It's just that if you look at things from another angle, if Guo Mingshun is allowed to sit in the phase, then while it is convenient for him to do things for Chen Zexuan, it also gives Qi Hao the opportunity to catch Chen Zexuan's pigtails.

Chen Zexuan is delicate and hidden, even though he has been ambitious for so many years, he has never given anyone a handle.

There are pros and cons to taking this risky move.

Of course, it also made Gu Jinli get her wish and make her happy.

However, if Du Jiang and the others around him knew about this, they would definitely complain that Qi Hao only needs to be beautiful, not Jiangshan.

Using such an important position as a prime minister to win the hearts of beauties is too powerful!

Gu Jinli was a foot behind Qi Hao, she secretly looked at Qi Hao's calm but cold face, I don't know if he didn't interfere with Guo Mingshun's matter of being prime minister intentionally or unintentionally just now, and she was a little uncertain in her heart.

Qi Hao noticed that Gu Jinli had been looking at herself, only pretending not to see, looking ahead, and her steps were steady.

"Lord Ning." Suddenly, a group of Praetorian Guards came to him, and the person at the head was Gu Nianshi.

"Second ......" Gu Jinli just opened her mouth, and instantly closed it tightly.

The day before yesterday, the Gu family was beheaded, which caused an uproar in Beijing.

The people sighed with emotion for three days, and they all regretted that the young and promising Gu Shilang was pitted by his father who was inferior to the beast, and those innocent servants were also unlucky to find the wrong master.

However, the most discussed thing is that the front foot was put in prison, waiting for Gu Huai's concubine Gu Nian, who was beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Even the eldest son Gu Chengendi couldn't escape death, but this Gu Nian survived, how could this not be surprising?

Later, after the old emperor's oral message was known, everyone suddenly realized that it was under the intercession of Prince Ning Qi Hao, and the old emperor also had a kind heart and left a pulse for the Gu family.

Gu Nianshi actually looked down on life and death, if Qi Hao didn't intercede for him, the old emperor insisted on cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, he would go to Huangquan with the entire Gu family, and he would have no complaints.

Because in this world, there are no people or things that can be worthy of his nostalgia.

was released from prison and returned to the palace on an errand, he had no waves in his heart, and there was no ecstasy after others survived the "catastrophe".

It's just that after seeing Qi Hao, he still can't help but want to say thank you in person.

This thank you came from the bottom of his heart.

Although it may be that for Qi Hao, he saved himself because of a whim, or on a whim, his "thank you" is insignificant and not worth mentioning, but he must say it when he thinks about it.

In this way, you can feel more at ease.

Handing the spear in his hand to the Praetorian Guards on the side, Gu Nianshi's face was solemn, he bent over, gave Qi Hao a big salute, and then bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Prince Ning for saving your life." ”

Qi Hao pursed his lips, nodded, and shook his head.

When he looked at Gu Nian deeply, he immediately pulled out Gu Jinli, who was standing behind him, and said slowly: "Actually, this king is entrusted by others and is loyal to people. ”

"Second Prince Gu wants to thank you, or Xie Sheng'er."

Gu Jinli's body trembled, but she didn't expect Qi Hao to push this favor onto herself.

She was puzzled, puzzled, and suspicious when she was thought of, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

What does this mean? Although he had the intention of saving people, he did not put it into action.

Gu Nianshi was rescued by Qi Hao, but he pushed himself out, did he want Gu Nianshi to find out his identity?

Or did he feel that he had annoyed himself in the carriage just now, so this was to create an opportunity for himself and Gu Nian to get close, in order to seek his forgiveness?

slapped on the back of Qi Hao's hand, Gu Jinli straightened up, and smiled calmly and gently: "Second son Gu, the prince of our family is a thin man who loves awkwardness, he is embarrassed to accept your thanks, which is why I am this good person." ”

"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you are not guilty, the prince naturally can't bear to see death and not save it."

There are so many people who are not guilty, in addition to Gu Huai and Gu Chengen, Concubine De, and King Xuan, the old mothers, little maids and domestic servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion are also innocently affected.

And Gu Nianshi is innocent, and Gu Huai's blood is also flowing in his body, take care of Jinli and say this, why didn't Qi Hao save those people, but wanted to save himself?

Gu Jinli's words are obviously a lie.

Qi Hao didn't expect Gu Jinli to kick the conversation back, and he was stunned just like Gu Nianshi.

Although it is a bit difficult to ride a tiger now, he feels particularly pleasing to the ear when he hears the words "our prince".

Of course, these words also confirm the relationship between Gu Jinli and Qi Hao's "little male pet".

The puzzled dark eyes turned back and forth between Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, Gu Nianshi thought that he and Gu Jinli had little intersection, Gu Jinli should have no reason to save herself by Qi Hao's hand, so it should be Qi Hao who saved herself.

However, Qi Hao will definitely not be the thin-skinned person in Gu Jinli's mouth, so why didn't he admit it, but said that he was entrusted by Gu Jinli?

There are too many unsolved mysteries around Gu Nian now, and he can't figure it out.

But now is not the time to think about these issues, Gu Nianshi bowed again, "Don't thank you for your great kindness, whether it is Ning Wangye or Lin Gongzi, you will remember this kindness when you read it." ”

"In the future, the two of you will have a place to remember the time, even if you command!"

After saying that, he left with the Praetorian Guard, not giving Qi Hao and Gu Jinli the slightest chance to talk.

"Heh, your second brother is becoming more and more ...... now" Qi Hao looked at Gu Nianshi's back, a little speechless.

Halfway through his words, he shut up abruptly, because he realized that Gu Jinli's memory hadn't recovered yet, and he didn't know how much memory she still had in her mind about Gu Nian.

Without Qi Hao finishing his words, Gu Jinli could guess what Qi Hao wanted to say.

Indeed, Gu Nianshi used to be a weak scholar who would be shy when talking to strangers, but now he has become a deputy commander Gu who carries a gun and escorts and leads many Praetorian Guards, and his words and actions are naturally different from back then.

Sighing lightly, Gu Jinli walked towards the gate of the palace in a complicated mood.

As she walked, she caught a glimpse of a man standing behind the wall of flowers.

Dressed in a goose yellow dress, a small face was slightly haggard, and there was mist and grievance in those pair of Ying Ying Xing eyes.

"Huh?" Gu Jinli tilted her head, glanced back at Qi Hao, and when she turned back, Yin Suwan had already disappeared.

Qi Hao took two steps forward, and also saw Yin Suwan, who turned around and walked away quickly, and Shuang'er, who was supporting her and whispering to "slow down".

"Hmph, let the county lord of Yihe not be afraid to attract people to shrink in the corner and peep silently, Lin Gongzi is really charming!" Qi Hao not only eats men's vinegar, but also women's vinegar.

In particular, this woman is still Yin Suwan, who has had a lot of things to do with him.

Yin Suwan's complaining little eyes just now were like an abandoned woman who complained about her husband who didn't go home and was still messing around outside.

Gu Jinli pursed her lips and snorted lightly, too lazy to deal with Qi Hao.

Qi Hao exhaled heavily, and suddenly had an idea to get rid of Yin Suwan directly, but this thought was snuffed out by him as soon as it arose.

Forget it, since Gu Jinli wants to have a good time with Yin Suwan, let's keep it as a pet!

Anyway, when the cat has had enough of playing with the mouse, the mouse will be better off dying.

Out of the palace, Gu Jinli asked Du Jiang to drive the carriage to Baiyulou and bought back the dish that Aiyue had in mind.

After Qi Hao and Gu Jinli left, Chen Zexuan entered Mingyang Palace.

The steaming aroma of tea filled the air, and the eighth prince took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The fourth brother went to see his father just now, and his father asked about the choice of prime minister, but the fourth brother didn't say anything. ”

"If you don't take a stand, you are tantamount to taking a stand." Chen Zexuan lowered his eyes, thinking about watching Gu Jinli being dragged into the carriage by Qi Hao's hand in the dark outside the palace gate, and his tone was cold: "Many ministers have promoted Guo Mingshun as prime minister, this is the trend of the times, and Qi Hao did not object, so Guo Mingshun is stable this time." ”

As for why Qi Hao didn't object, although the two didn't poke it openly, they also knew it.

Such a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, except because of Gu Jinli, what else can he do for?

Thinking like this, both fell silent.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Chen Zexuan slowly spoke: "Now that the Gu family is gone, after Guo Mingshun takes the throne, there will be a big change of power between the DPRK and China, and you must be more cautious in your actions during this time than before." ”

"Well, that's what I know." The Eighth Prince nodded and hesitated: "Brother Shizi, you say ...... Fourth brother, what kind of calculation did he make? ”

"Now there are more and more ministers in the DPRK and China supporting me, and in such an obvious situation, he is as stable as Mount Tai, is he really so confident that I can't win him, or do I really have any hole cards in my hand?"

The sooner you reach the peak, the more anxious and uneasy people will become.

In particular, everything in your hands is completely dependent on others, and this feeling of unsteadiness will be even stronger.

"Hachi, you don't have to worry so much about it now." Chen Zexuan hooked his lips and said quietly: "What about his confidence, what if he really has hole cards in his hand?" ”

"You only need to identify a goal and move forward, if you reach a place where there is no way out, it is a big deal to take the worst step."

What was the worst step, the Eighth Prince knew.

plotting to usurp the throne, father and son are out of harmony, brothers are opposed, and everyone rebels and leaves......

Suddenly closing his eyes, he let out a heavy "um" for a long time.

The rain outside is still "crackling", and there is a tendency to get heavier and heavier.

After Chen Zexuan left, the Eighth Prince sat on the chair all the time, his face as gloomy as that day.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Xiangzi saw that the Eighth Prince was still sitting motionless, so he cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Eighth Prince, it's time for you to have dinner." ”

The eighth prince waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Go out." ”

"Yes." Xiao Xiangzi replied helplessly, and then glanced at the little maid behind him.

The little maid understood and withdrew the meal.

The Eighth Prince walked to the window and watched the pouring rain rolling to the ground like broken beads, and his heart was as chaotic as a ball.

In fact, his future is clear.

There is no other way than to gamble, except to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

However, I don't know why, but I'm very upset.

The night was dark, and a few bolts of lightning streaked across the sky.

Just as the Eighth Prince was intently looking at the rain flowing into a stream on the ground, suddenly a gust of wind blew behind him.

Turning around vigilantly, I saw a man in black appear in the room from nowhere.

Looking at that face, the Eighth Prince's eyes widened.
