After Gu Jinli woke up, the person she saw when she opened her eyes was Chen Zexuan.

And the three maids also stood aside with red eyes.

Especially Ah Qiao, his eyes are swollen like walnuts.

Knowing that it was Xiaoyaozi who took out the Gu worms in her body, Gu Jinli felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

First, she returned to Beijing as "Lin Sheng".

In order to deceive Xiaoyaozi into the Xuanji Door, she also deceived Xiaoyaozi.

Second, Xiaoyaozi saved her and the child regardless of her previous suspicions.

Therefore, for Xiaoyaozi, she is both grateful and guilty.

Chen Zexuan saw through Gu Jinli's mind at a glance, and he comforted: "You and I were deceived by Mo Li at the beginning, no wonder you." ”

"Seniors are broad-minded and won't bother with you."

"Besides, you have the medical book that Lin Sheng gave you back then, no matter how you say it, you can count yourself as half a disciple of your seniors, and your seniors won't blame you."

After hearing this, Gu Jinli felt a lot less guilty in her heart and nodded.

Considering that Gu Jinli had just woken up, it was not appropriate to talk more, so Chen Zexuan was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he only gave a few words and left.

After leaving the palace gate, his heart ached violently, and he clenched his fists, and he got into the carriage.

It may be that there are no Gu worms in the body, or it may be that Xiaoyaozi sent someone to send a large amount of tonics, in short, in the next month, Gu Jinli eats well, sleeps well, and the whole person is fatter than before.

However, even if she is fat, because of her small skeleton, she looks thinner than ordinary people.

When the three maids saw that Gu Jinli's body was normal, they were completely relieved.

What is more abnormal is Chen Zexuan, he did not appear in front of Gu Jinli all day long like last month, but only met every three or five days, and brought Gu Jinli's tricky twists and turns back to the old mansion of King Nanyang, and sent someone back to the palace the next day.

If it weren't for the occasional meeting of Chen Zexuan, Gu Jinli would really go to the old mansion of King Nanyang to see, is it really as rumored outside, the regent hides a little beauty in the mansion, or sometimes he can't even go to the early dynasty?

On the ninth day of December, on the seventh night before Chen Zexuan entered the palace, Gu Jinli couldn't sit still.

The six-month-old belly has been completely revealed, and while stroking her belly and walking around the house, she pondered: "Ah Qiao, what has my brother been busy with lately?" ”

"I don't think there's something wrong with him."

Ah Qiao was packing up Gu Jinli's clothes for winter, she lowered her head and whispered, "Your Majesty, the slaves don't know either." ”

How dare she tell Gu Jinli that Chen Zexuan's body is getting worse and worse?

If it weren't for Xiaoyaozi guarding in front of him, I'm afraid Chen Zexuan would have ...... long ago

"Sheng'er, it's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind your back." Suddenly, Chen Zexuan's figure appeared at the door.

The lantern at the door was blown by the wind, and the swaying light shone on his purple clothes.

"It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Gu Jinli was stunned, turned to look at Chen Zexuan, and saw that his face seemed to be whiter than the last time they met, and his body was also a little thinner, so he couldn't help frowning, "Brother, it is said outside that you are a treasure in the golden house, and you can't think about it." ”

"Could it be true?"

"Nonsense." Chen Zexuan stepped forward and deliberately sank his face: "How can my brother be such a person who is confused by beauty?" ”

Gu Jinli noticed that Chen Zexuan's footsteps were slightly vague, and her voice was obviously strong, she squinted her eyes, "You haven't been in good health lately?" ”

After that, without waiting for Chen Zexuan to answer, she reached out and was about to grab Chen Zexuan's wrist.

Chen Zexuan's eyes flashed, he raised his hand to dodge, and took out a letter from his arms, "Look at it." ”

Gu Jinli was dissatisfied with Chen Zexuan's evasion just now, her eyes fell on the envelope, and her tone was dissatisfied: "What is this?" ”

Chen Zexuan's thin lips were pursed, and his expression was indistinguishable: "The Emperor of Yunguo is overdrunk, and his body may be dying." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli blinked, then opened the envelope.

After a quick look, she asked, "What about ...... What does my brother think? ”

The queen lingered on the sick bed for many days, Jiegui was born a princess, except for the stupid prince, if the old emperor died, no one in the Yunguo royal family could inherit the throne.

And Chen Zexuan is the real prince of Yunguo, and he is the orthodox royal family.

It's just that those who covet the throne of Yunguo should not be willing to give the throne to Chen Zexuan.

It's like the last time Yunguo proposed to cede land for compensation, Chen Zexuan threw the question back: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is how my brother thinks." Gu Jinli squeezed the letter paper tightly and looked straight at Chen Zexuan: "If my brother wants to go back, I will do everything I can to help my brother get the throne back." ”

"If my brother doesn't want to, let's just think that this matter has nothing to do with us."

Chen Zexuan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I'll leave later." ”

Gu Jinli was telling the truth, but she didn't expect Chen Zexuan to go back in such a hurry, so she couldn't help but feel a little unspeakable loss in her heart.

Seeing that Gu Jinli opened her mouth, but didn't speak, Chen Zexuan said softly: "If I don't go back, once the old emperor dies, the throne will definitely fall into the hands of others." ”

"Now, although the national strength of Yunguo is not as good as that of Qiguo, you are a woman, and it will take many years when the child grows up and has the ability to take on the responsibility of the country."

"It's hard to guarantee that after many years, the Cloud Kingdom will not become stronger."

"When the time comes, you and the child ......"

Chen Zexuan said as he spoke, his tone lowered, and his eyes showed infinite sadness.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of difficulties and ups and downs Gu Jinli would face without him many years later.

When someone bullied her, did Gu Nianshi and Yin Zike still have the ability to protect her?

Even if the child grows up, Yun Guo is still not enough to threaten Qi Guo, but will her child be a Ming Jun?

If not, then ......

It was impossible for him to tell Gu Jinli that he was worried about a lot, a lot.

And every "worried" thing is related to her.

As early as when he learned his true identity, he gave up his qualification to go back to inherit Yunguo for Gu Jinli.

Because, he wants to be by her side.

But now, also for the sake of Gu Jinli and the child, he changed his mind.

He wants to return to the kingdom of Qi and inherit the throne of the old emperor.

Only by controlling Yunguo in his own hands can he remove the hidden danger of threat for Gu Jinli.

Of course, he may not live long, but he will plan for Gu Jinli's future in advance.

Even if he leaves her forever, he will leave her a trump card of self-preservation.

Gu Jinli's eyes were moist, she didn't think that Chen Zexuan would go back for herself and her children.

Her heart was heavy for a while, and her tears fell, "Brother......"

"Okay, what's the cry?" Chen Zexuan also held back his tears, pinched Gu Jinli's face, and pretended to be relaxed: "My brother is going back to be the emperor, you have to laugh." ”

Gu Jinli thought that Chen Zexuan was about to leave later, but she couldn't laugh: "Do you have to leave now?" Tomorrow is not too late. ”

The corners of Chen Zexuan's raised lips looked very reluctant, he gently wiped Gu Jinli's tears, and said in a low voice: "Sheng'er, my father and mother don't know my background. ”

"If I return to Yunguo with great fanfare, then they will know that their son has become a fool by Mo Li, and I don't want them to be sad."

"Also, no matter who asks me, you just have to declare that I have traveled all over the world."

Seeing that Gu Jinli's tears were flowing more and more, as if he couldn't wipe them clean, he said helplessly: "It's really not good, you just say that I eloped with the little beauty hidden in the house." ”

"Poof", these words finally amused Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli calmed down her emotions and said in a dumb voice: "Then you have to come back to see me often, otherwise the child will be born in the future, and you won't call your uncle." ”

Chen Zexuan thought that he might not live to wait for the day when the child called his uncle, he endured the colic in his heart, held the corners of his mouth, and doted: "Okay." ”

"But." Gu Jinli suddenly thought of something, and said, "The minister of the Yun Kingdom has also seen you, and there will still be someone who spreads the news that you have returned to the Yun Kingdom." ”

"People say that being pregnant for three years is stupid, and it seems to be true." Chen Zexuan rubbed Gu Jinli's head, took out half of the mask from the placket of his clothes, and put it on his face.

Except for a pair of eyes, only thin lips and an angular chin remain.

Chen Zexuan stared at Gu Jinli, and the corner of his eyes blocked by the mask overflowed with tears.

Holding Gu Jinli, he whispered, "Sheng'er, don't forget me." ”

He was afraid that after he died, he would not only disappear from her world, but also be erased from her heart by the merciless time as time passed.

So, he begged her to remember him.

But is he too selfish?

If she wants to remember herself, just like she remembers Qi Hao who left, won't she live in the same sadness again?

But if she wants to forget his words, he really can't say it.

Stay, leave, all because of love for her.

So, just allow him to indulge this time, right?

Of course, Gu Jinli didn't know the deep meaning of Chen Zexuan's words, she patted Chen Zexuan's back and said with a smile: "Brother, Yun Guo and Qi Guo are not far apart, how can you say that it is like parting with life and death?" ”

Isn't this a parting between life and death? Chen Zexuan is gone, and I don't know if the next time we meet will be in the next life.

"Shizi, it's time to go." Outside the door, someone reminded.

Gu Jinli glanced at the man, and only felt a little familiar.

The eyebrows are clear, and the voice is softer than that of ordinary men, like a woman dressed as a man.

Chen Zexuan let go of Gu Jinli, said "take care of yourself" again, took off his mask, and left with a forced smile.

After Chen Zexuan came down the steps, Gu Jinli patted his head and recognized the person: "Concubine Mei!" ”

Ah Qiao also recently learned that Concubine Mei was doing things by Chen Zexuan's side, but because of Chen Zexuan's body, she didn't even have time for Yin Zike to think about it, where did she remember to tell Gu Jinli about these inconsequential little things?

Walking to the door, Gu Jinli stretched her neck and watched Chen Zexuan disappear into the night before returning to the house.

Seeing Gu Jinli yawning, Ah Qiao helped her to the bed.

"Da Da Da", the carriage carrying Chen Zexuan out of the city gate.

On the carriage, Chen Zexuan covered his mouth and coughed for a while.

Feeling the blood and qi surging in his chest, and he felt like coughing up blood, he took out the small white jade bottle that Xiaoyaozi gave him before leaving, poured out a pill from it and stuffed it into his mouth.

The coolness spread, and the smell of blood was suppressed.

Stroking his chest, he leaned against the soft collapse behind him.

Both Xiaoyaozi and Master Clearance did not approve of him returning to the Cloud Kingdom, because his physical condition was too poor.

However, Chen Zexuan's insistence could not be resisted, so Xiaoyaozi had to prepare a lot of precious medicinal materials and pills for him to nourish his body, in case of emergency.

Hurry up for two days, hurry up for three days.

The road back to Yunguo is not difficult, but the difficult thing is that he has to return to the days of intrigue and intrigue step by step.

This time, no one fought alongside him again.

He has to face everything alone.

But when he thought of Gu Jinli, he had the courage to support it.

Lifting the curtain, he said weakly: "Hurry up." ”

"Yes." Li Meier knew that time was very precious to Chen Zexuan, so she tightened the reins of the horse and raised the whip high.

"Da Da", the horse galloped up.

Two days later, a mysterious man wearing a mask appeared in the palace of the Cloud Kingdom.

No one knows where he came from, no one knows what his name is.

However, on the second day, the old emperor of Yunguo summoned dozens of respected old ministers in the court and issued an edict in public.

As soon as the edict came out, the old ministers were so shocked that they almost peed their pants.

It turned out that more than 20 years ago, the old emperor had come to the door with the romantic debt caused by the old emperor.

Many people questioned the identity of this illegitimate child, but the old emperor insisted that he had already tested his relatives by dripping blood, and there was no doubt that it was indeed the dragon species he had left outside.

Even the queen acquiesced.

Therefore, the ministers' doubts are invalid.

Of course, the ministers know very well that the current national strength of the Yun State is weak, how can it not be compared to the Qi State, the old emperor is now hanging a sigh of relief, and the country will become a bystander sooner or later, so what difference does it make who becomes the emperor?

You can't let the stupid prince succeed to the throne, right? That would only make them slaves earlier.

The people also just want to live in peace, and they really don't care much about who is there.

Everyone thought about it, and silently admitted the old emperor's edict.

As soon as the edict was issued, the old emperor of Yunguo drove to the west.

Three days later, on December 15, the old emperor's funeral affairs were dealt with, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

It is also strange to say that Yun and Qi are incompatible, and on the day the new emperor ascended the throne, the new emperor of Qi not only sent back the previous ten cities as congratulatory gifts, but also said that the friendly exchanges between the two countries in the future have a long history.

What does this mean, isn't it a gesture of goodwill?

The people of Yunguo instantly admired and admired their new emperor.

Some people say that when the new emperor was dressed in a black robe, standing on the high white jade steps to accept everyone's congratulations, he was like an eagle soaring in the sky, and he had the domineering spirit of a king who looked down on the world, allowing everyone to see the great future of the cloud country.

Some people say that the new emperor never takes off the mask on his face, he must be very good-looking, for fear of messing up the hearts of women all over the world.

In short, people's heated discussions about the new emperor of Yunguo are not inferior to the new emperor of Qiguo.

In a remote village at the junction of Yun and Qi, the rural people also praised the new emperor of Yun Kingdom, saying that he was a blessed star from heaven and specially came to take care of Yun Kingdom.

Two people wearing hats happened to pass by, listening to the unstoppable praise of the new emperor around them, and glanced at each other.

The woman reached out and touched the sword on her waist, and the murderous aura rolled in her eyes.

The man shook his head, then took the woman's hand and said softly, "Zi Sang, what is past is gone." ”

This "Zi Sang" is the Zi Sang princess who died on the road to Yun Qi's marriage.

On the carriage to Qi that day, when Ye Xuanqing was carrying the food, Zisang glanced outside and moved his lips.

Ye Xuanqing nodded, and only used his mouth to tell Zisang: "Everything is ready, master rest assured." ”

Zi Sang's hanging heart relaxed, and she spilled the food and made a show.

Sure enough, the pre-arranged assassins jumped out and created a big scene of assassination on the road.

Moreover, she also deliberately planted the blame on Qi Hao's head!

Didn't her good father want her to marry Qi Hao? Then she will make the illusion of dying in Qi Hao's hands!

First, provoke the contradictions between the two countries!

Second, although she faked her death, she will never appear in this world again.

She wants everyone to know that she is dead, and she wants to make her father regret it, regret his insistence!

When she was alive, her father didn't cherish her and pushed her away.

When she dies, she's going to be the thorn in his heart that can't be pulled out!

There were the "dead bodies" of her and Ye Xuanqing on the ground, and the two of them hid in the cave.

When Ye Xuanqing was protecting her, the injuries on her body were real.

Therefore, it is necessary to treat the wound first.

After this assassination, there will be no more Zisang princesses in this world.

That sad place in Yunguo, she could never go back.

She is no longer the golden branch and jade leaf that was high above before, and there is nothing by her side except Ye Xuanqing.

So, then just wander the world with Ye Xuanqing!

Who takes the country away, who sits on the throne, so she doesn't have to care anymore.

Everything in Yun Kingdom, everything in my father's father, everything in this world has nothing to do with her after she "dies"!

From being sensible to now, she has always lived for her father.

Now, her heart is dead, and she will live for herself for the rest of her life!

A few days ago, when he heard that the old emperor of Yunguo had passed the throne to Chen Zexuan, Zisang just sneered at that time.

Ye Xuanqing looked at Zisang worriedly at first, but later saw that she didn't have any mood swings, so he put his mind at ease for the time being.

Wandering these days, Zisang is no longer a princess, and Ye Xuanqing is not her bodyguard.

The relationship between the two has been eased like never before.

Letting go of his obsession with the old emperor, Zisang could also feel Ye Xuanqing's heart for him.

Companionship is the most affectionate confession, rather than to please a person who does not have his own in his heart, it is better to accept the heart of the person who loves him.

It's a chance for yourself, and a chance for the other party.

Holding Ye Xuanqing's hand, the two continued to walk forward, and no one spoke.

However, at this time, silence is better than sound, and everything is silent.

With the ascension of the new emperor of Yun Kingdom, the national strength of Yun Kingdom is also booming.

Coupled with the mutual exchanges between the two countries, the relationship between the people of the two countries has also been harmonious in a century.

Having just ascended the throne, Chen Zexuan did not have much in-depth understanding of the court of Yunguo.

Therefore, he has no reliable helper, a trusted minister, and can only do everything himself.

In the past few months since he ascended the throne, he forgot to sleep and eat every day, rectified the court, cultivated his loyal ministers, and paved the way for Gu Jinli in the future.

At first, he would write letters to Gu Jinli every few days.

Every time she received a letter from Chen Zexuan, Gu Jinli must reply as soon as possible, but later she received fewer letters, but she took the initiative to send a letter to Yunguo.

Write a letter every three or five days, recording the recent anecdotes of Qi Guo and the state of the child.

Occasionally, Chen Zexuan will reply to the letter, and Gu Jinli will not be annoyed when he does not reply.

After all, Yunguo is like a field, abandoned because of the old emperor's neglect, and the court is like an apple, completely rotting from the heart of the apple.

If you want to revive Yunguo, Chen Zexuan needs to spend a lot of effort, and it is normal that he has no time to reply.

Of course, sometimes no news is good news.

Time always flies, and in a blink of an eye, it will be April in the coming year.

A month before Gu Jinli gave birth, the Queen Mother, who couldn't hold the shelf, finally came back.

Last time, Gu Jinli asked Lord Zhao to send a letter to Bailu Mountain, and the Queen Mother also replied.

The Queen Mother thought that after Gu Jinli received the letter, she would definitely go to the palace to pick her up in person.

Even if Gu Jinli doesn't go in person, she will always send someone to go.

Who knows, the Queen Mother waited left and right, and waited for several months without waiting for anyone to pick it up.

She is an old man with a big temperament and a cautious eye.

Gao Gao has been on it for most of his life, how can he let a little girl hold it?

What's more, this girl also occupies the throne of their Qi family!

Holding her breath, the Queen Mother decided to live in this palace until the end of her life!

However, as the day of Gu Jinli's birth got closer and closer, the Queen Mother became more and more restless.

Mama Lan knew that the Queen Mother couldn't pull her face, so she secretly sent someone to inform Master Zhao of the microphone.

Lord Zhao, an old clever ghost, has made a lot of money since the last time he bet on the right bet under the hint of Hexiang, and he has become more and more "loyal" to Gu Jinli.

Therefore, he told Gu Jinli the news that the Queen Mother was coming back.

Gu Jinli knew that the Queen Mother was coming back, so she didn't say anything, and sent someone to welcome her back to the palace.

It's just that the Queen Mother still lives in the original Shoukang Palace.

Gu Jinli had never asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother did not show her intention to summon her, so the two of them lived together peacefully for a month without meeting.

On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, the palace was filled with a tense atmosphere.

In the inner hall, the midwife shouted one after another: "Your Majesty, you work hard, work hard!" ”

In the outer hall, the Queen Mother sat on a chair, sat down for a while, and stood up again, and the whole person looked anxious.

Mama Lan couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but persuade: "Queen Mother, don't worry, the slave and maid don't look at the emperor's belly like a reverse fetus, and she will definitely give birth to the little prince smoothly." ”

After returning to the palace, although the Queen Mother still didn't want to see Gu Jinli, she sent Mama Lan to secretly glance at Gu Jinli every day.

Not only that, but he also sent someone to record Gu Jinli's daily food.

Gu Jinli saw the Queen Mother's small movements in her eyes, but she didn't know.

She wouldn't pretend to be amorous that the Queen Mother was caring about herself, if it weren't for the child in her belly, the Queen Mother would never want to see her in her life.

It is definitely not the first time that the Queen Mother has seen a woman give birth, but she may be older, and this time she is worried: "Listen, she has been calling inside for almost an hour, how can the mourning family rest assured?" ”

Hexiang and Aiyue, Ah Qiao has never experienced giving birth, they only heard Gu Jinli's painful cry inside, and they couldn't help but feel numb, and when they saw the queen mother's breathless appearance, they became even more worried.

Grabbing Ah Qiao's hand, Ai Yue's eyes stared at the inner hall, and whispered: "Ah Qiao, we won't have children in the future, it's really scary." ”

Ah Qiao wanted to nod her head, but when she thought about it, she didn't even catch up with her sweetheart, so what kind of child was she talking about? So I didn't answer.

After another half of the tea time, "Wow! At last, the loud cry of a baby came from the hall.

This cry, like a heavenly sound, swept away the anxiety in the Queen Mother's heart.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, the emperor gave birth to a little prince." The midwife trotted out and told the Queen Mother the first good news: "Mother and son are safe." ”

The Queen Mother's white old face turned bloody, she grabbed Mama Lan's hand, and the old tears were crisscrossed: "Hao'er...... Hao'er, he has a queen! ”

Aiyue and Hexiang also cried with joy, wiped their tears, and hurried to the inner hall.

Ah Qiao also wanted to go and see Gu Jinli, but when he thought that Yin Zike, Du Jiang, and Qin Feng were still waiting outside, he turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Yin Zike saw the door open, and said with a concerned expression: "How is the emperor?" ”

Ah Qiao said: "Don't worry, mother and son are safe." ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he turned around suddenly, knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed heavily in the direction of Yaoshan, tears rolled in his eyes, "Lord Wang, did you hear that?" Your Majesty, she gave birth to a prince for you! ”

"You can rest assured, in the future, the little prince will work with us to protect the emperor for you, and no one will dare to bully her!"

These words made several other people feel sad when they heard this.

Ah Qiao sighed and was about to go back, but was stopped by Yin Zike, "Ah Qiao girl." ”

"Prime Minister?" Ah Qiao turned around in confusion and looked at Yin Zike.

Yin Zike pointed to Ah Qiao's head and said gently, "Your hairband is loose." ”

Ah Qiao was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched it, and sure enough, the whip tied to the back hung loosely.

If Yin Zike didn't remind her, maybe her hair would all fall apart later, which would be too rude.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Ah Qiao's face flushed, and he immediately tied the headband again.

Yin Zike looked at her slightly red face, and something in his heart was slowly melting.
