"The minister knows His Highness's concerns, and His Royal Highness is afraid that the minister will use this as a bait to trick His Highness into being deceived, and take the opportunity of cooperating with His Highness to annex the dark line of His Highness's development over the years, and help the three princes eradicate His Highness's power."

Gu Jinzhen said clearly, and Duanmu Jing also lost his previous panic.

Anyway, his hole cards have already been known by Gu Jinzhen, and he doesn't want to be dying anymore, everything he does is in vain anyway.

Unwilling!

Duanmujing was also angry at the moment, and only lamented that his luck was not good, and he finally came to this point, but he still fell short.

What if you are unwilling?

That's Gu Jinzhen, it's not wrong to lose to him!

"However, His Highness misunderstood the minister," Gu Jinzhen said tepidly when Duanmujing was entangled, "The minister did come to form an alliance with His Highness with sincerity this time, and the alliance between the minister and His Highness is not for anything else, it is a personal grudge with the Third Highness, and the goal of the Minister has always been only the Third Highness." ”

Therefore, whether Duanmu Jing can sit in that position in the future has nothing to do with him, he only targets Duanmu Qing. He will only help when it comes to Duanmu Qing. Of course, he will also pass on Duanmuqing's movements to Duanmu Jing to share information and facilitate his actions.

"It seems that my third brother has offended General Gu a lot." Duanmu Jing teased.

Gu Jinzhen was still not annoyed and said, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Duanmujing pondered.

Although he didn't know why Gu Jinzhen wanted to ally with him, he still trusted Gu Jinzhen's character. What's more, Marquis Zhenyuan is a royalist, and no matter how many of his younger brothers want to win him over, they don't dare to do it easily.

The elders of the Three Dynasties, including him, several princes were still worried when they faced the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Moreover, according to his information, Gu Jinzhen has not been in contact with the third prince.

As for Gu Jinzhen's personal grievances......

It's not impossible.

After all, his outstanding third brother is still very conceited at some point, and while recruiting troops, he also offended many people.

"Your Highness can think about it carefully, and if you agree, tell the minister." Gu Jinzhen dropped the last sentence and returned the same way with the rice balls.

Duanmu Jing sat alone in the study.

Gu Jinzhen's proposal is not impressed, it is fake.

Gu Jinzhen's meaning is very clear, the cooperation between the two is limited to dealing with Duanmu Qing, as long as it is related to Duanmu Qing, Gu Jinzhen will join forces with him.

Does it mean that the Marquis of Zhenyuan will not support the third child?

Rubbing his jaw, Duanmu Jing groaned.

Over the years, under the deliberate arrangement of his father, the third child has done several important things for the benefit of the country and the people, but he can't interfere in the military power.

The third is in a hurry.

The father did not give the third child the right to soldier, first, the time was not ripe, and second, the third child's prestige in the army was not enough, and he could not serve the public when he got the military power, let alone give orders. And, of course, the most important point......

Duanmu Jing smiled disdainfully.

Now that his father is in the prime of life, even if he has the heart to give that position to the third child, he doesn't know what year and month it is, and the third child can't wait so long, so he will keep making small moves.

It's not that the father doesn't know that the reason why he turns a blind eye to the little fights of the third child also has the meaning of exercising the third child, not to mention, those small actions are useless in the eyes of the father.

However, no matter how much the father spoils the third child, there will be no bottom line.

Military power is the bottom line of the father!

If his father didn't hold the military power in his hands, his throne could be taken away by the third child at any time.

Royal ruthless.

Father knows this truth very well, so even if he wants to give the throne to the third child, it will not be now.

If the father doesn't give it, the third child will take it himself.

In the past few years, the third child has sent people to Shuzhou, and before, he went to Jincheng in person under the pretext of visiting the mountains and rivers, but he returned in vain.

The personal enmity that Gu Jinzhen said was that the third child inquired into the Shen family army without authorization, right?

By the way, there seems to be a horse farm in Jincheng.

Last time, he and the third child overheard his father's words, and he didn't believe that the third child didn't have a heart.

The third child's private actions annoyed the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Jinzhen is going to teach him a lesson?

If this is the case, then his cooperation with Gu Jinzhen is indeed a win-win situation.

As for that location......

Duanmu Jing smiled indifferently.

It's false to say that he has no ambition, but he knows his strength very well, let a few royal brothers fight slowly, and the snipe and clam compete for the fisherman to profit, isn't it?

Even if it's really not his, it is a pleasing thing to be able to block a few imperial brothers.

Jincheng.

Qiao Yixi took the maid and the maid to Zhuangzi.

I haven't seen Gu Jingshu for a while, and she is also worried, anyway, there are four rooms in the Qiao family rushing to be in the limelight, and basically nothing has anything to do with her.

"Jojo, come here."

As soon as Qiao Yixi entered the door, she heard Gu Jingshu's voice, and when she looked up, Gu Jingshu was waving to her.

"You're thin, and you kid can't take good care of yourself."

Gu Jingshu said this to Qiao Yixi, but the astragalus and wolfberry were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.

Failure to take good care of the young lady is a dereliction of duty, and the dereliction of duty will be punished.

"Mother, look at you, as soon as your daughter comes, you will count your daughter, you are like this, your daughter will not dare to come next time, see you scare my two maids."

"You ......" Gu Jingshu was angry and funny, and said to the two people on the ground, "Get up." ”

The astragalus and wolfberry, who had received amnesty, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jingshu didn't plan to let Qiao Yixi go like this, "Stay in Zhuangzi for a few more days, and my mother will let you make good food and take care of it." Look at you, you finally grew some meat on your body, went to the capital, and lost weight again. ”

"Mother, if my daughter doesn't go to the capital, how can she find so many interesting things?" Qiao Lixi said deliberately gag.

Gu Jingshu glared at her with disgust, "You are embarrassed to say, what do those things have to do with us, let them go if they are willing to toss, what are you running up and down for?" Not only do people not remember that you are good, but they also guard you like a thief, so why bother! ”

In and out of the words, he is very protective of Qiao Yixi.

Qiao Yixi took Gu Jingshu's arm and shook it coquettishly, "Mother, you can't say that, you also know that your daughter cares about the Qiao family, how can you not follow this kind of thing." ”

"You want to see a joke, right?" The mother and daughter sat down on the soft couch, and Qiao Lixi hurriedly took the pillow handed by Mama Zhong and put it under Gu Jingshu's waist.

"The joke must be watched, no, my daughter went to the capital and found so many interesting things, it's worth the trip."

Gu Jingshu shook her head funny, Qiao Xingbang told her about the things in the second and fourth rooms after he came back, she was not very interested in the affairs of the two rooms, and she didn't care about whether it would affect the Qiao family.

"Mother, my brother is still obedient, right?" Qiao Yixi looked at Gu Jingshu's stomach and asked.

"How do you know it's a brother?" Gu Jingshu deliberately teased Qiao Lixi and said, "Why does my mother think it's a younger sister?" ”

"Whether it's a brother or a sister, it's all my brother and sister, it's the same."

Gu Jingshu smiled with relief.

Because of her estrangement from her daughter, she has always been worried that Qiaoqiao will not be close to this child, and even complains that their parents don't care enough about her, and they are jealous that their younger siblings get more pampering than her.

Looking at it now, she was completely overthinking.

"Mother, how has your appetite been lately?" Qiao Yixi asked.

"Mother's appetite is good, seven or eight meals a day is not enough." Gu Jingshu said with a smile.

"You can't just eat and not move, mother, you have to move around more," looking at Mama Zhong beside Gu Jingshu, Qiao Yixi advised, "Madame is heavy and sleepy, you take Madame around Zhuangzi as much as possible, you don't need to go far, the time doesn't need to be long, the number of times is enough, the most important thing is to pay attention to safety." ”

"Miss, don't worry," Mama Zhong said busily, "The master will accompany his wife to turn in the morning, noon and evening, and every time there is a small half an hour, there are maids and mothers-in-law to follow, and the two doctors live in the Zhuangzi." ”

Gu Jingshu's delivery date is less than two months away, and it is a critical moment, Qiao Xingbang is more nervous than anyone else, and everything he can think of has been arranged in advance.

"Grandmother's send?" Qiao Yixi asked.

"Miss Hui, the old lady sent two midwives over, both of them are the best midwives in Chaotianmen, and they live in Zhuangzi."

"That's good." Qiao Yixi nodded reassuringly.

Gu Jingshu is old, and having a child at this age in modern times is nothing, but it is quite dangerous here, so Mrs. Gu is also very careful and cautious.

After asking about some daily life and having lunch in Gu Jingshu's house, Qiao Yixi went back to her bedroom for a nap.

At dinnertime, Qiao Xingbang returned.

The industry of the long house is not only limited to the industries on the face of the Qiao family, Qiao Xingbang has also had private property over the years, of course, these are not known to the people of the Qiao family.

If the leeches knew that the long house still had private property, the long house would probably be squeezed even more.

Because he wanted to plan the separation of the family, Qiao Xingbang's energy was focused on private property, and he lived in Zhuangzi with Gu Jingshu, which was convenient for him to act.

At the dinner table, the family was happy, there was Qiao Yixi's gag, Gu Jingshu unconsciously drank half a bowl of soup, after the meal, the family was about to go out for a walk, and Mama Shen came in a hurry.

"Miss, Jin Gongzi sent a little servant over and said that he had something to discuss with you."

Qiao Lixi paused.

"Qiaoqiao, then you stay, with your father accompanying your mother, you don't have to follow."

"But ......"

"Since Young Master Jin specially sent a little servant over, there must be something very important to discuss with you, and the business is important."

Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu both knew that Qiao Lixi and Jin Baijin had opened a "Meal World", and since the child was interested, they naturally gave their full support.

Qiao Lixi followed Mama Shen back to the outer room of the bedroom, but she didn't see the little maid next to Jin Baijin, and looked at Mama Shen in surprise.

"Miss, something happened to the Gu family!" Mama Shen said with a solemn expression.

Qiao Lixi's heart froze, "What's wrong?" ”

"Uncle wrote from there that there was a problem with a batch of goods transported by the Gu family."

"Did it go wrong with shipping? The Gu family wants to lose money? If that's the case, Mama Shen won't be so nervous.
