Two hours later, the news that the new emperor was four months pregnant spread all over the streets, which made the people even more boiling.

Extrapolating the time, four years ago, it was about June.

At that time, the new emperor was still a woman disguised as a man and lived in the "Lin Sheng" of King Ning's Mansion.

Therefore, this child should be Qi Hao.

Du Jiang, Qin Feng, Liang Kuan and others burst into tears, because their prince actually had a queen, it was really God's mercy!

However, there are still a small number of regent parties and prime ministers' parties who are unwilling to accept reality.

In Aiyue's words, the people who eat melons really do everything they can to form "Xipi".

Some bold people speculate wildly, based on the close relationship between the new emperor and the regent and the prime minister, could it be that the father of this child is one of the two of them?

The Regent's party said it was the regent's, and the prime minister's party said it was the prime minister's.

However, these speculations were immediately denied by the Ning Wang Party.

Their Prince Ning is so infatuated with the new emperor, and the new emperor is definitely not a half-hearted woman, so the child must be Ning Wangye's!

The words of the three families could not be argued, and the new emperor did not need to explain, but he did not want to involve the innocent regent and the prime minister.

After all, the two of them are in their prime, and they have not yet married a wife and had children, in case it affects the marriage of others, isn't it a sin?

Therefore, on the afternoon of the second day, a certain minister couldn't help but be curious, and took the opportunity to discuss political affairs with the new emperor, and tentatively said: "It is a happy event that the emperor has an heir, but Weichen thinks that the harem must not be left without an owner for a day, do you want to choose an imperial husband to share the emperor's worries?" ”

Gu Jinli pinched the fold, looked at the chubby minister with a calm expression, and pursed her lips, "I wonder if Lord Zhao has a suitable candidate?" ”

I have to say that this Lord Zhao is still a little clever.

Although he really wanted to put out Gu Jinli's words, he didn't dare to ask directly, but turned around and speculated the answer by asking Gu Jinli to choose the imperial husband.

The person chosen by Gu Jinli is the father of the child nine times out of ten!

Seeing Gu Jinli throw the question back, Lord Zhao also continued to play Tai Chi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are really a lot of good men in our country. ”

"Both civil and military, graceful, dignified, resourceful, Weichen looks good."

If he offends people, he doesn't dare to say it, so he can only say hypocritical things that praise people.

However, Gu Jinli's next words were like a thunderclap: "Since this is the case, then put all these men you said into the harem." ”

"Huh?" Lord Zhao's eyes widened, thinking that something was wrong with his ears, "Your Majesty, are you ...... You say it...... All? ”

The tongue seemed to be knotted, and Lord Zhao was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

Gu Jinli nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, if I reject Aiqing's kindness, it will be too impersonal." ”

"However, if the person Aiqing found is not as civil and military as Aiqing said, graceful, dignified, and resourceful, then ......"

After a deliberate pause, Gu Jinli's tone suddenly became cold: "The northwest is desolate, it needs a lot of manpower to cultivate, and the perennial wind and sand are large, Aiqing and those men, let's go to the northwest to plant trees!" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Lord Zhao wanted to cry without tears, and suddenly regretted his many mouths and tongues, as well as his damn curiosity.

In the northwest, that's a place where there is no grass.

If he goes, he won't die there?

"Hexiang, send Lord Zhao." Glancing at Hexiang faintly, Gu Jinli unceremoniously gave an order to evict the guest.

Hexiang nodded and said respectfully to Lord Zhao, "Lord Zhao, please." ”

"Wechen retired." Lord Zhao had a bitter face and withdrew from the imperial study with heavy old legs.

"Miss Hexiang, please stay." Seeing that Hexiang had sent herself out and was about to turn around and go back to the room, Lord Zhao whispered with a shy face: "Miss Hexiang, can you go back and tell the emperor for me, just say ......"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said worriedly: "The emperor is at a prime age, and he has just ascended the throne, and he will be in the future, so there is no need to be so anxious about choosing the emperor's husband." ”

He didn't dare to say these words to Gu Jinli in person, so he could only entrust Hexiang.

He Xiang naturally knew that Gu Jinli was embarrassing Lord Zhao in disguise, and she was also doing it for other people who were not willing to give her up on choosing an imperial husband.

This Lord Zhao's idea can become really fast, just now he said that Gu Jinli has been on the throne for a long time, and now in the blink of an eye, he said that he has just ascended the throne, it can be seen that he is really a spineless person, so he was frightened.

However, Gu Jinli has only been on the throne for two months, and if Lord Zhao really dares to send so many men into her harem, then he will definitely be sprayed to death by other ministers.

Of course, Chen Zexuan is also the first person who will not agree.

Perhaps, Lord Zhao will be sent to the northwest.

Smiling slightly, Hexiang looked at Lord Zhao's worried look and said, "Okay, Lord Zhao, don't worry, your words, the slave will tell the emperor." ”

"Thank you, Miss Hexiang." After hearing this, Lord Zhao felt a lot more relaxed.

Hexiang shook her head, her eyes flashed: "Lord Zhao is polite, the emperor is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and his affairs are busy, thanks to Lord Zhao's dedication to the emperor's saddle before and after." ”

"After the emperor gives birth to orthodoxy, the credit of Lord Zhao will definitely be indispensable."

Hexiang's words are a pun.

At first, Lord Zhao only felt that because he was the son of the new emperor, he was called "orthodox".

But his mind turned, and he suddenly thought that the man that the new emperor had admitted seemed to have only one Qi Hao from beginning to end.

And Qi Hao is the bloodline of the royal family of Qi State.

If Qi Hao is alive, the person who sits on the throne is Qi Hao!

In other words, the child's real father is Qi Hao!

Therefore, strictly speaking, in the future, this country will still be a family!

The excited waves jumped happily in Lord Zhao's heart, he didn't know if he guessed right, but he didn't dare to ask Hexiang rashly, and his old face was red.

Although, when Gu Jinli asked Hexiang to send Lord Zhao, she didn't say much, but after so many years of master and servant, with just one look, they can communicate with each other.

No one wants to see their children questioned, which is disrespectful to children and an insult to Qi Hao.

Therefore, the coldness implied in Gu Jinli's eyes was very obvious.

Hexiang's words are very subtle, but people with brains should be able to understand them.

Seeing that Lord Zhao looked like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Hexiang continued: "The Queen Mother is far away in Bailu Mountain, and she shouldn't know that the emperor has the news of the emperor's heir, so she also asked Lord Zhao to go and tell the Queen Mother the news." ”

"If the Queen Mother knew that she had a grandson, she would be very happy."

"Yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go!" With Hexiang's last words, Lord Zhao had no doubts in his heart.

In a flash of smoke, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Before entering the palace, many ministers secretly got together to make bets, some bet on the regent and some bet on the prime minister.

Ning Wang Dang firmly believes that his old master is the "only" of the new emperor, so he does not disdain these frivolous gambles at all.

Lord Zhao wants to run back quickly, he wants to stand alone, and bet on Qi Hao!

is about to make a lot of money, how can he not be in a hurry?

"Ouch!" Aiyue was almost bumped by Lord Zhao, she rubbed her arm and asked Hexiang, "Is this Lord Zhao burned his butt by fire?" ”

Hexiang's eyes inadvertently fell on the jade hairpin on Aiyue's hair, and said with a smile: "I seem to have seen one of Du Jiang's hairpins before, could it be this one?" ”

"This ......" Aiyue blushed slightly and nodded hesitantly.

In recent days, she would always meet Du Jiang in every corner of the palace coldly.

Every time Du Jiang would give her those interesting and fun gadgets outside the palace, she always accepted gifts from others, and she would also give Du Jiang desserts such as mandarin duck cakes made by herself.

Du Jiang is good-looking, has a good temper, and has met more often, facing the gentle and patient Du Jiang, which makes Aiyue have to think more.

Just this morning, when Aiyue was distressed and entangled, Du Jiang took the lead in expressing his heart.

Aiyue bumped into a deer with a heart, and after a struggle of thoughts, she shyly accepted Du Jiang's confession.

Who knows, Hexiang found the hairpin sent by Du Jiang before, which is really embarrassing!

Hexiang couldn't tell Aiyue, in fact, before Du Jiang confessed to Aiyue, he had found himself in advance and asked Aiyue about her preferences.

Aiyue is the same as Xiao Hei, and her favorite thing in life is to eat.

Moreover, Aiyue has a soft spot for braised pork trotters.

Because, Aiyue's beloved tea rabbit once said in the book that pig's trotters are full of collagen, which can beautify and nourish the skin.

Although Aiyue doesn't know what "collagen" is, she believes in what Chacha Rabbit says, and every three to five days she eats half a pig's trotters, and then goes with green tea with fat.

But if you want to confess to the girl, Du Jiang is always not good to give Aiyue a big pig's trotter directly, so after thinking about it, the two discussed that it is better to send a hairpin first to show their sincerity.

Of course, this hairpin is not an ordinary hairpin, and it is also a thousand taels smaller!

Probably a little weak-hearted, Aiyue didn't dare to look at Hexiang's smiling eyes, she turned her head and coincidentally saw Qin Feng.

What's even more coincidental is that Qin Feng actually has a familiar sachet hanging around his waist.

"Okay, you Qin Feng, you dare to steal the sachet of lotus incense? You're getting better and better! Rolling up her sleeves, she was about to step forward to fight.

Qin Feng originally didn't see Hexiang and Aiyue, but he looked this way when Aiyue yelled.

His eyes fell on Hexiang, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his feet over, but when he heard Aiyue say that the sachet was stolen by himself, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "You don't want to spew blood, this sachet is clearly ......"

"Ahem, ahem." Hexiang coughed vigorously twice at this time, and her cheeks were abnormally red.

Qin Feng swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and snorted coldly, "Uncle is in a good mood, I don't have the same knowledge as you!" ”

Glaring at Aiyue, he took off the sachet and stuffed it into his arms, and then strode away.

"Hey, you're back!" The more Aiyue looked at Qin Feng, the more unpleasant she became, perhaps because of Du Jiang's comparison.

"Okay, what's the point of your yelling?" While pulling Aiyue to the main hall, Hexiang secretly pinched a handful of sweat.

The movement outside the door just now, Gu Jinli heard it clearly inside.

Seeing the two maids coming in, she asked, "Aiyue, is Ah Qiao back?" ”

The regent, who was elected by the public as the "imperial husband", has not entered the palace for two days, and I heard that he was infected with a cold.

Gu Jinli was worried, so she sent Ah Qiao to the old mansion of King Nanyang.

Aiyue shook her head, "I haven't come back yet." ”

He Xiang comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Imperial Physician Wei is going with Ah Qiao, and the regent will be fine." ”

Gu Jinli nodded, barely reluctantly relieved.

In the old mansion of King Nanyang, Chen Zexuan was lying on the bed with a bloodless face, and half of the black blood was in the basin on the side.

He clutched his chest and coughed heavily, threatening to cough out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Ah Qiao on the side had red eyes, looked at Wei Liao, who was taking Chen Zexuan's pulse with a solemn face, and choked up: "Imperial Doctor Wei, what kind of poison did he get into?" ”

"Can you still ...... Can you ......?"

Wei Liao frowned, pointed at Chen Zexuan's wrist, and said in a heavy voice: "If I guess correctly, the one in the world should be 'Thousand Buddhas Drunk'." ”

"Of course, I also know about it from the medical book that the emperor gave me before."

"There must be an antidote, right?" When Ah Qiao heard this, he asked urgently.

Wei Liao withdrew his hand, looked at the faint red line on Chen Zexuan's wrist, and did not speak.

Ah Qiao knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed his head "bang", and cried: "Imperial Doctor Wei, please, save the world, save the world!" ”

Wei Liao hurriedly helped Ah Qiao up and said sadly: "Girl, it's not that I don't save the world, but this poisonous ......."

Sighing heavily, he shook his head and said, "'Thousand Buddha Drunk' is a chronic poison, but it has accumulated in the body of the prince for more than ten years, and it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there is no cure. ”

"Shizi, woo woo......" Ah Qiao listened, and his crying couldn't be stopped.

As early as seven days ago, Chen Zexuan actually began to cough up blood, but he didn't let people know.

He also knew a lot about medicine, so after taking the pulse, he knew that he had been poisoned.

Thinking about it carefully, he understood the meaning of Mo Li's curse before the cave exploded.

Mo Li gritted his teeth and said that neither he nor Gu Jinli could escape.

It turned out that Mo Li had already thought of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

And Wei Liao said that he had been poisoned for more than ten years, which shows that Mo Li should have poisoned himself when he was young.

So, what about Gu Jinli? What did Mo Li do to her?

Strongly suppressing the urge to cough, Chen Zexuan's hand clutching the placket on his chest tightened.

Gu worm, Mo Li planted a Gu worm in Gu Jinli and Qi Hao's bodies respectively!

The smell of blood rolled in his throat, and Chen Zexuan spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

"Shizi!" Ah Qiao covered his mouth, his face full of panic.

Wei Liao hurriedly pricked Chen Zexuan with a needle, barely protecting Chen Zexuan's heart.

Tense his nerves, Wei Liao was also anxious: "If it goes on like this, how can it be good!" ”

Ah Qiao was already panicked, and only knew how to cry: "Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Daluo Immortal, please, save the world!" ”

Somehow, Wei Liao actually remembered someone, "Yes, Xiaoyaozi Divine Doctor!" ”

"Miss Ah Qiao, the divine doctor has superb medical skills, if you can find him, maybe you can save the life of the son!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to find it!" Ah Qiao listened, and "poof" stood up from the ground at once, and was about to rush out like the wind.

On the "Ah Qiao ......" bed, Chen Zexuan raised his heavy eyelids with great difficulty, and said with difficulty: "Don't ...... Don't let Sheng'er know. ”

Ah Qiao sniffed and whispered, "The slave knows." ”

With that, she trotted out of the yard.

Chen Zexuan's pale lips moved, "Imperial Doctor Wei......"

Wei Liao knew that there was a deep brother-sister relationship between Chen Zexuan and Gu Jinli, and he couldn't bear to say: "The prince doesn't need to say anything, Weichen won't tell the emperor." ”

Chen Zexuan pulled his lips and closed his eyes.

The heir of the new emperor for four months, and the hotly sought after candidate for the imperial husband......

How could he not know about the gossip rumors in the market?

If he could, he really wanted the rumor to come true.

He is Gu Jinli's royal husband and the father of the child.

It's a pity that even if he doesn't die soon, it seems that he doesn't have a chance.

Mo Li is a ruthless person who can plan a walk when he takes a step, Chen Zexuan is not afraid of death, he is only afraid of leaving Gu Jinli alone.

And now, she has Qi Hao's child, and he is not worried that she will be lonely in the future.

It's just that the Gu worm in her body still has to find a way to take it out.

Since Ah Qiao has already gone to find Xiaoyaozi, everything that follows can only depend on the will of God.

When it was dark, Ah Qiao returned to the palace for fear that Gu Jinli would be suspicious, leaving Wei Liao to take care of Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli had just finished practicing calligraphy, and when she saw that Ah Qiao not only came back so late, but also had red eyes, she couldn't help but say in an uneasy tone: "Ah Qiao, did something happen to my brother?" ”

On the way back, Ah Qiao had already thought of the wording, she forced a smile and whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince is just infected with the wind and cold and overwork, so he is tired." ”

"If my brother is fine, why are you crying?" Gu Jinli squinted her eyes and sank her face.

Ah Qiao bit her lip, and tears overflowed again: "Slave maid...... The slave was rejected by the prime minister. ”

"Uh......" Hexiang and Aiyue, who were making the bed for Gu Jinli, were stunned, glanced at each other, and quickly lowered their heads to lower their existence.

Being rejected by a man is a very hurtful thing to self-esteem, and it is no wonder that Ah Qiao is sad and sad and cries with red eyes.

After Gu Jinli heard this, her expression instantly eased a little.

She thought that Yin Zike might not like Ah Qiao, but she didn't expect Ah Qiao to confess to Yin Zike so quickly.

I don't know how to comfort Ah Qiao, after all, there is such a thing as feelings, and others can't empathize.

Especially when people are rejected, no matter how much comfort others have, they can only make the person more heartbroken.

Holding Ah Qiao's hand, Gu Jinli said gently: "Ah Qiao, you are still young, there is still a long way to go, and you will meet many people." ”

"A lot of people who pass by your life are passers-by, and they will leave, but there is always someone who will accompany you in the end."

Anyone can say the words of comfort, but if it is replaced by oneself, none of these principles will work.

Aiyue really wanted to ask Gu Jinli, since she understood this truth, why did she trap herself in the "shadow" of Qi Hao's death and refuse to come out?

There are so many young talents in Qi country, Gu Jinli can also be happy again!

Of course, Aiyue wants Gu Jinli to have a new relationship, which does not mean that Gu Jinli wants to turn her back on her relationship with Qi Hao. Aiyue just wants Gu Jinli to have a new life and a new beginning in life.

After all, the deceased is gone, and the living still have to live well.

Yin Zike's injury was cured a few days ago, and since he returned to the palace, Ah Qiao has never seen Yin Zike a few times, so how can he confess to him recklessly?

Nodding, Ah Qiao wiped his tears, "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't want people to know about this matter." ”

"Also, please don't mention it in front of the prime minister."

"Just ...... Save face for the slaves. ”

Thinking that it was very likely that Xiaoyaozi would not be found, Ah Qiao couldn't help sobbing again.

Hexiang and Aiyue looked at Ah Qiao's crying like this, and made up their minds to kill Ah Qiao to keep their mouths shut.

"Okay." Gu Jinli touched Ah Qiao's head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Don't cry, go back and wash your face." ”

"You're tired from the day too, rest early, tomorrow is a new day."

Ah Qiao said "um" and walked out of the room with a sob.

"Your Majesty, Ah Qiao was really heartbroken this time." Aiyue sighed melancholy and sighed with emotion: "It's really difficult to find two people in this world who are happy with each other. ”

Fortunately, she met Du Jiang.

He Xiang also has the same feelings as Aiyue in her heart, the matter of men and women, no matter who falls in love with whom first, who loves more, the person who is wishful thinking is always the most pitiful.

"You can't blame Zike for this." Gu Jinli thought of Yin Zike, and said helplessly: "On the contrary, if he doesn't love Ah Qiao and marries her, this is a big mistake." ”

In love, you can't love someone else because they love you, you have to love him as a matter of course.

The feeling of loving someone comes from the heart, and you can't deceive people, let alone yourself.

If you are forced to get love, or if you regard the heart of "repaying gratitude" or "guilt" as love, you are irresponsible to yourself and the other person.

Yin Zike rejected Ah Qiao, although it would make Ah Qiao sad for a while, but it was much better than the misfortune in the second half of their lives after the two were reluctantly combined.

A marriage without love is also destined to not last long.

Aiyue and Hexiang nodded in a teachable manner, and said in unison: "What the emperor said is true." ”

Gu Jinli looked at these two little faces that seemed to understand or not, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two don't have to worry about Ah Qiao, you should think more about your life's events when you have time." ”

"It's too late, the slave goes back to sleep." Aiyue stuck out her tongue and ran away with Hexiang.

Gu Jinli took out a booklet and opened one of the pages, only to see that Qi Hao's name was densely written on it.

picked up the brush, and she left the seventieth "Qi Hao".

After writing, she blew dry the ink, then gently stroked the names of the first few pages, and said to herself: "Qi Hao, it's been seventy days." ”

Time flies so fast, Qi Hao has been away from her for seventy days, buried in the cold ground for seventy days.

Holding the booklet tightly to her chest, she burst into tears.

During the day, she kept herself busy and forced herself not to think about Qi Hao, but at night, the pent-up feelings of longing during the day were like wine buried in the cellar, the more buried the more fragrant and the more hidden the stronger.

Her Qi Hao, she can't hug him again in this life.

Every time she thinks of the days when she was-for-tat with him after returning to Beijing, and when she remembered that she didn't seize the opportunity to be together when she was together, her heart hurts.

Even with it, his head hurt together.

Gritting her teeth, she took out a silver needle and pricked it in her head, which barely calmed the pain.

The candle flame was almost at the end, thinking that it would be early tomorrow, Gu Jinli went to bed, held the booklet, and fell asleep for a long time.
