On the way back to Ning Wangfu, in order to avoid Gu Jinli running too hard, Qi Hao slowed down his horseback riding speed.

Gu Jinli leaned into his arms and said softly, "I also thought that when I saw Lin Sheng this time, I could have a good conversation with her." ”

"I'll come with you next time I have a chance." Qi Hao's hand around Gu Jinli's waist tightened, and said, "But no matter where you want to go, you have to tell me in advance." ”

When he was in Youyou Valley just now, Qi Hao had already said it several times, and when Gu Jinli heard him continue to repeat, she couldn't help but say helplessly: "Okay, I remember, you don't have to talk about it anymore, it's the same as being seventy or eighty." ”

"Are you disgusted with me?" Qi Hao saw Gu Jinli roll her eyes, and couldn't help but sink her tone.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Feeling Qi Hao's hand begin to move restlessly, Gu Jinli hurriedly softened.

"If you don't dare." Qi Hao snorted lightly, put his lips to Gu Jinli's ear, and said meaningfully: "If you are disobedient, I don't mind asking for you now." ”

Du Jiang rode a horse and followed not far behind him, and he was not yet in the first three months of pregnancy, how could Qi Hao dare to say such a bastard thing in broad daylight!

"You!" Gu Jinli blushed and glared at Qi Hao.

Qi Hao hooked his lips and smiled, which was very useful for Gu Jinli's bowing head.

At the same time, the old emperor also received news of a failed assassination.

He threw the hot tea that Father-in-law Jia had just brought directly to the ground, and his old face turned red with anger.

Patting the table, he gritted his teeth and said, "What a good opportunity, but ...... I haven't been able to kill her yet! ”

Father-in-law Jia didn't dare to squeak to answer, so he had to lower his head and pretend not to hear.

"Xiao Jia, go and check with me, who made a bad move to my good deeds!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Jia was stared at by the old emperor's sharp eyes, and hurriedly responded.

"Get out." The old emperor was in an irritable mood, and it was not pleasing to look at anyone at this time.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Father-in-law Jia to leave.

Gonggong Jia nodded and walked out of the imperial study.

Since Jiang Yuan was dead and dead, Gu Jinxiu's joyful mood lasted for two days.

When it was time to go to bed at night, I was still full of excitement.

Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, she finished combing her hair, then picked up the lip paper in the box and wiped it on her lips.

Looking at her radiant self in the mirror, she showed a beautiful smile.

As she walked towards the door, she asked, "I heard that Concubine Li sent two little palace maids this morning?" ”

The maid said: "Yes, the prince arranged them in the backyard." ”

After a pause, she said again: "However, the person sent by Concubine Li said that he was waiting for you. ”

Gu Jinxiu sneered: "Serving me? said that it was high-sounding, but it was not to warm her son's bed? ”

Taking a deep breath, she said with a nonchalant face: "That's it, as long as there are no moths." ”

As soon as he took two steps out of the door, he was suddenly blocked by King Qing.

"It's so late, where are you going?" Seeing Gu Jinxiu's dressed up, King Qing glanced at her up and down.

"I'm ......" Gu Jinxiu thought that it had come to this point, and the Qing King had not come back yet, so he might stay in the study, so he smiled and said, "I didn't want to go anywhere, I just wanted to meet the prince." ”

Biting her lip, she said boldly: "By the way, I heard that the mother concubine sent someone over to the prince, otherwise the prince will go over tonight to take a look?" ”

This means that he is asking the Qing King to find the two palace maids.

And she is going to Xuanwangfu.

"Huh?" King Qing hadn't told Gu Jinxiu about this matter, and he was a little surprised to hear her mention it.

Seeing that her face did not show any displeasure or jealousy, he looked at her with scrutiny, "You want me to go over?" ”

Probably thinking that his performance was a little obvious, Gu Jinxiu said with a weak heart: "After all, it is the mother concubine's person, and the prince can't brush the mother's heart." ”

Suddenly itching again, King Qing waved his hand, and said irritably: "Let's talk about it another day, this king will stay in the study tonight." ”

With that, he turned and went to the study.

He is now suffering from a hidden disease inexplicably, but he can only secretly use medicine.

And even if he and Gu Jinxiu sleep alone and sleep outside, they are always worried that their "secrets" will be discovered.

So, apart from the study, he couldn't think of any other place where he could secretly apply the medicine.

Gu Jinxiu sneered in her heart when she saw King Qing leave suddenly.

Because in her opinion, King Qing may not have gone to the study, but used it as an excuse to pamper the two little palace maids tonight.

Hehe, men, they say no, but their hearts are filthy and lustful!

"Master, you ...... Are you still out? The little maid stood behind Gu Jinxiu and asked.

Gu Jinxiu shook the handkerchief in his hand, turned around and said in a muffled voice: "Don't go, go back to sleep!" ”

It's good if you don't meet King Qing, but you do.

If she goes out again, it is inevitable that King Qing will doubt herself.

It seems that we can only wait until next time to go out.

It is said that women are the ones who please themselves, and she has been dressing up so hard tonight, exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, it is really a waste!

With a sigh, she threw her clothes on the floor and climbed onto the bed.

As she pulled the quilt, she sniffed the faint stench coming from her body, and her face turned red and white.

She couldn't understand why her body smelled.

At first, I was suspicious of King Qing, but King Qing never messed with other women, could it be that the reason was King Xuan?

Thinking like this, an undercurrent crossed Gu Jinxiu's beautiful eyes.

At the same time, King Xuan, who was thought of by Gu Jinxiu, was also itching under his body for the past two days.

He couldn't sleep well, but he couldn't tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing, so he had to live next to each other by himself.

Every day was spent in torment, and after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have found the source, but he was not sure.

Before, he never seemed to have any discomfort, but after getting along with Gu Jinxiu a few times, he had a strange feeling.

Could it be that Gu Jinxiu was infected with a dirty disease and now infected herself?

Realizing this, Xuan Wangqi's forehead was exposed.

In the Hibiscus Courtyard, Qi Hao put his arm around Gu Jinli's shoulder, and after she let out a burst of even breathing, he carefully pulled his arm out from under her.

Lightly getting out of bed, he got dressed and left.

The moment he closed the door, Gu Jinli on the bed opened his eyes.

One night, although he was by her side, he looked absent-minded.

She could see that Qi Hao had something on her mind recently, but if he didn't say it, she wouldn't be able to ask again.

Because, if you don't say it, you don't want her to know.

And she doesn't ask, so she won't embarrass each other and dislike people.

She wasn't curious what he was hiding from her, she was just worried.

Seeing his sudden departure at night, Gu Jinli's heart became even more uneasy.

With a long sigh, she stroked her flat lower abdomen and closed her eyes, trying to calm her mind.

After leaving the room, Qi Hao deliberately walked outside the courtyard.

Du Jiang had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, and when he saw Qi Hao coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's been found out." ”

Qi Hao put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Is it him?" ”

Du Jiang nodded and said solemnly: "Yes." ”

"Why?" While walking towards the study, Qi Hao said quietly: "Could it be because of her life experience?" So you have to do something to Ah Gu?! ”

His voice was dark, full of suppressed anger.

Gu Jinli's life experience, even if it is a reason why she has to die, but she is innocent.

At the time of the fall of the Feng Kingdom, she had not yet been born.

Since she was born, she has no idea about everything in Fengguo.

However, the old emperor wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, which was too cruel.

"Lord Wang...... If your subordinates have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not. Du Jiang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Perhaps, the emperor killed Concubine Gu, not only because of her background, but also because you may feel that you have spent too much time and energy on her, and you have invested too much emotion, and you are worried that she will affect your major affairs." ”

What Du Jiang said, Qi Hao didn't know.

It's just that I don't know what to do, and I love deeply.

Love is love, he can't hide it, sneaky.

Seeing that Qi Hao was silent, Du Jiang said again: "Lord Wang, you should be the one who knows the emperor's character best." ”

"If one assassination fails, the emperor will definitely come a second time, and he will not stop until he achieves his goal."

"Could it be that my father really wants to force this king to rebel?!" Qi Hao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Qi Hao said that for Gu Jinli, he can give up everything, or he can do it to the extreme.

Therefore, after Du Jiang heard Qi Hao's words, he didn't dare not take it seriously.

With a panicked look, Du Jiang knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said in panic: "Lord Wang, you must not be impulsive!" ”

"If you really want to do such a great rebellion, you will be infamous through the ages!"

"Since ancient times, there have been many people who have killed kings and usurped the throne, but they have been spurned by many people under the pen of historians!"

"You...... You can't do this just for the sake of Concubine Gu! ”

"If you really ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, Concubine Gu will inevitably become the red face and disaster that will bring disaster to the country and the people, and the officials will definitely think of letting you kill her!"

"When the time comes, can you kill the civil and military officials? Or do you want to embarrass Concubine Gu? ”

What Du Jiang said is reasonable, and every sentence is sincere.

I have to say that he thinks very long-term and realistically.

If Qi Hao really rebelled because of Gu Jinli, then Gu Jinli was the culprit who lured Qi Hao to subvert the convention.

And Qi Hao has become the emperor by then, and the officials cannot impeach the new emperor, but they can point the finger at Gu Jinli.

Since Gu Jinli is deeply in love with Qi Haoen, how can she stay out of the matter and watch Qi Hao worry about these things?

She loves Qi Hao as much as Qi Hao loves her.

They will fearlessly sacrifice themselves in order to fulfill each other.

Therefore, Gu Jinli is likely to "apologize for his sins with death", save Qi Hao, and preserve his throne.

Of course, she does not have any "sin", but from ancient times to the present, women are the source of crime in the eyes of men.

Otherwise, how could there be any such thing as a red face and a curse?

"What should you do, then, in your opinion?" Qi Hao's heart trembled, and he looked straight at Du Jiang.

Du Jiang bowed his head, "My subordinates don't dare to say it." ”

Qi Hao stood still and said in a deep voice: "Say it boldly!" ”

"Since the emperor wants you to devote yourself wholeheartedly to political affairs, then you will do what he wants." Du Jiang thought for a while and said, "Recently, all kinds of big and small things have happened frequently in the court, and you can handle the affairs of the court well, so that the emperor can see your ability." ”

"And Concubine Gu's side...... It's best not to be too spoiled in front of people. ”

"After all, people's hearts are jealous, and you love her well, but you put her on the cusp, and there will only be more and more people who hate her."

"You should be more detached from Concubine Gu, so that when the emperor sees it, he thinks that you have changed your mind, and his dislike for Concubine Gu may be reduced."

After a pause, he lowered his voice again, "Your Majesty...... After all, the emperor is old, waiting for him...... A hundred years after him, the prince took advantage of the situation to ascend the throne, and with your protection, no one dared to bully her anymore. ”

"You mean to wait for this king?" Qi Hao looked in the direction of the Fuyuan Courtyard and smiled sarcastically: "This king can not attack his father for the sake of filial piety and ethics, but his father is bent on killing Ah Gu, and this king can't afford to wait." ”

He remembered what Master Pure Space said, "Love is deep and longevity, and wisdom will be hurt." ”

If you love too deeply, you will always hurt others and yourself.

In order to protect Gu Jinli from harm, he could force himself to look cold and alienated from her.

However, this does not mean that he can admit defeat to the old emperor.

The old emperor sent assassins to assassinate Gu Jinli this time, although Gu Jinli was only frightened and did not have any accidents.

However, it hurt Aiyue and made Gu Jinli sad.

Those who are pregnant should not have too many emotional fluctuations.

Besides, Gu Jinli is still the grandson of the old emperor in her belly, and the old emperor is so cold and cold-blooded!

Qi Hao's temperament can't sit still, he must take action.

It's like yesterday when he proposed to drive Shen Minghui out of the barracks, which was opposed by the old emperor.

Shen Minghui continued to stay in the barracks on the grounds that the emperor did not issue a holy decree.

Qi Hao asked Liang Kuan to send people to keep an eye on Shen Minghui and his lackeys at all times, and all their every move could not be let go.

No matter how big or small the mistake is, if there is a mistake, it will be dealt with with by severe military law.

The least punishment was a hundred military sticks, and many people died on the spot before they reached fifty military sticks.

Shen Minghui was angry and nitpicking, picking bones in the eggs, but he didn't have a way to take Qi Hao.

Because in the barracks, Qi Hao is the real person in power.

In less than two days, more than half of the people in Shen Minghui's hands were lost, and he was so angry that he was carried home.

Many of Shen Minghui's lackeys, worried that they would be picked out by Qi Hao, offered to leave the barracks.

After all, human life matters, as for the battle between Qi Hao and Shen Minghui, what will happen to them?

For those who "know the times", Qi Hao happily agreed.

Therefore, since he could not rebel against the old emperor, he could only retreat to another way.

"That'...... Then the prince, you ......" Du Jiang was stunned, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Qi Hao beckoned to Du Jiang and motioned for him to come over.

Du Jiang attached his ears, and after Qi Hao whispered, he was shocked and said in disbelief: "Lord Wang, you actually want to ......"

Qi Hao turned his face, and the look on his face was hidden in the darkness.

After a while, he said, "Ah Gu's medical skills are excellent, there will be no problem." ”

"Lord Wang, you are so reckless, what if you ...... In case someone finds out that you have poisoned the emperor, what is the difference between it and seeking to usurp the throne? Du Jiang opened his mouth, but he couldn't help but persuade: "Lord Wang, there must be other ways!" You can't be impulsive! ”

Even if Gu Jinli has not yet reached the point where her fate hangs by a thread, it can be regarded as "fate".

Qi Hao couldn't help but be nervous, and he couldn't help but prepare in advance.

Wei Liao's medical skills in the palace are the best, so since he wants to poison him, he naturally can't give the kind of poison that is simple and can be easily unraveled by Wei Liao.

If you want to go down to that kind of poison, except for Gu Jinli, no one can solve it.

Only when the old emperor's life is held in Gu Jinli's hands, Gu Jinli is safe.

Between the father and the woman, he chose the woman.

It can't be said that he is not filial, it can only be said that the old emperor has gone too far.

Pursing his lips, Qi Hao said in a low voice: "Du Jiang, there will be no case." ”

"If there really is that day, this king will bear everything."

"Lord Wang......" In Du Jiang's eyes, Qi Hao will always be rational and wise.

Even if he favored Yin Suwan before, he was definitely measured.

It is precisely because Qi Hao can grasp everything very well, so even if he is sometimes arrogant and makes the old emperor angry, the old emperor will not take it to heart after his anger is gone.

However, since he fell in love with Gu Jinli, he has become more and more stunned......

With such a Qi Hao, Du Jiang was always worried that he would go to the end of the mountain and the day when he was cornered......

Because, he blocked his own back road.

Such a desperate gamble is really terrifying.

Of course, Du Jiang can't say that Qi Hao has become like this, it's all Gu Jinli's fault.

After all, Gu Jinli is a kind person, and for so long, she has never done anything hurtful.

When he opened his mouth, Du Jiang found that he didn't know what to say.

"You go ahead and do it now, and do it carefully." Striding into the study, Qi Hao closed the door, wanting to be quiet.

Du Jiang knew that Qi Hao must have been extremely tormented and helpless when he made this decision.

As Qi Hao's loyal guard, he can only do what he is told.

Shaking his head, he tapped his toes and disappeared in an instant.

The next morning, the old emperor was still in good spirits, but after lunch, he vomited out a mouthful of black blood.

Gonggong Jia was so frightened that his old face turned pale, and he immediately found Wei Liao to come to the old emperor for treatment.

Wei Liao spent nearly half a cup of tea just checking his pulse, but he couldn't diagnose what kind of poison it was.

Remembering that the old emperor was poisoned before, Gu Jinli started with the small details of the old emperor's clothing, food, and daily life, and he sent someone to check all the things that the old emperor handled.

However, it turned out to be nothing.

The old emperor lay on the bed, only to feel that his internal organs were like being burned by fire, and the pain was unbearable.

Beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and his trembling appearance made Grandpa Jia feel distressed for a while.

With tears in his eyes, he choked up and said, "Your Majesty ......"

The old emperor fainted in pain, Wei Liao was helpless, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, look for Concubine Gu!" ”

At first, Gonggong Jia only worried about it, and he forgot that there was also a self-taught and skilled Gu Jinli in King Ning's mansion.

When he heard Wei Liao mention it, hope suddenly ignited in his old eyes, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, last time it was Concubine Gu who detoxified the emperor, and she will definitely be able to do it this time!" ”

With that, he walked out of the old emperor's bedroom at a trott.

Hurry up, he personally arrived at King Ning's Mansion.

At that time, Qi Hao was lying on the bed with Gu Jinli in his arms and taking a nap.

Hearing Aiyue say that Father-in-law Jia was coming, he sat up from the bed and hurriedly got out of bed to clean up.

Qi Hao pressed Gu Jinli, and while sorting out her clothes, he said unhurriedly: "What are you anxious about?" It's out of the way later. ”

The old emperor was poisoned, this is a big deal.

Because this is a good opportunity for those thieves with bad intentions to take advantage of the situation.

Father-in-law Jia blocked the news as soon as possible, and did not explain what happened when he asked Aiyue to report it.

Gu Jinli didn't know the inside story, but Qi Hao knew.

He should have gone to the barracks today, but after pinching the time and counting the time of the old emperor's poison, he decided that it was better to accompany Gu Jinli in the mansion.

Sure enough, Father-in-law Jia came to the mansion to find Gu Jinli.

The reason why Gu Jinli was not allowed to go out in such a hurry was because if Gu Jinli behaved too attentively, it would inevitably make the old emperor worry again, thinking that this poisoning was directed and acted by them.

Of course, it is indeed self-directed and self-acted, but the mastermind is Qi Hao, and it has nothing to do with Gu Jinli.

"Concubine Gu, are you there?" Jia's father-in-law, who was anxiously waiting outside the door, saw that Gu Jinli not only didn't come out, but also didn't even make a move, so he couldn't help but cross the lotus fragrance and stick it outside the door.

"Father-in-law Jia, wait a minute." Gu Jinli got out of bed, hurriedly opened the door, and said embarrassedly: "I was resting just now, I didn't know that Grandpa Jia was visiting, it was really rude." ”

"No, it's the old slave who bothered Concubine Gu." Gonggong Jia saluted, looked at her with blank eyes, and pleaded: "Concubine Gu, the emperor is poisoned, and Imperial Doctor Wei can't solve it, you can go back to the palace with our family to have a look!" ”

If it weren't for the difference between men and women and the disparity in identity, Father-in-law Jia might have dragged Gu Jinli to the palace.

At this time, Qi Hao also walked over with a solemn face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Father-in-law Jia replied: "Our family doesn't know what's going on, the emperor vomited blood not long after eating." ”

"The blood is black, but Imperial Doctor Wei can't find out what kind of poison it is, so our family came here to bother Concubine Gu to go to the palace with his family."

Qi Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he said slowly: "Wait for Ah Gu to simply pack up his things, and he will enter the palace in a while." ”

"Yes." When Gonggong Jia heard this, he immediately retreated.

"Ah Gu, I have to work hard for you again this time." This sentence, Qi Hao said with twelve points of sincerity, not on the spot.

The old emperor once led soldiers to destroy the Feng Kingdom many years ago, and sent someone to assassinate Gu Jinli, and when the old emperor was poisoned by the Seventh Emperor before, it was Gu Jinli who helped.

Today, she still has to be tired......

Gu Jinli couldn't understand Qi Hao's eyes, smiled, and responded with a "yes".

Soon, after packing up, Qi Hao and Gu Jinli got into the carriage, and the horses ran towards the palace gate.
