Gu Nian raised his head, looked at him in a daze, looked at him in a daze, forgot about other reactions, forgot that there were other people here.

But those eyes, looking at their own dark eyes, were so familiar, and in their eyes, there seemed to be a thousand words to tell themselves.

The rain in the sky kept falling, and the hair between his sideburns became a little curly after being wet, and his face was also stained with some moisture, which was completely different from his usual cold and solemn atmosphere.

Xiao Nian experienced a joy that he had never felt before, a joy that nothing else could give him.

He didn't want to hide his joy, he hugged her tightly in his arms, hugged her so tightly, he couldn't hate to melt into his blood.

"Niannian, I'm back, and I'll leave it to me in the future." Xiao Yue inexplicably felt that his voice was a little choked.

In Gu Nian's ears, his voice was low and soft, allowing him to hold himself like this, quietly leaning into his arms, listening to the powerful heartbeat coming from his chest.

That heartbeat made her feel as if she was the only one left in heaven and earth.

Such a beautiful day, everything is safe, she is here, he is there.

The world is full of living beings.

There is one person, this life is enough.

Xiao Yue let go of her slightly, glanced at her quickly, and saw that she was wet.

He reached out to touch her face with the raindrops, and then he remembered that he was still covered in dirt, and even the hand he raised was not very clean, and there was a piece of dirt stuck to the back of his hand at some point.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have a smell ......."

Gu Nian did smell the smell of dust and sweat on his body, she shook her head, she didn't dislike it.

"Why are you here?" Gu Nian asked stupidly.

Xiao Yue didn't answer and asked, "How is it?" His tone suddenly became very dangerous.

Although I don't know why I was still warm just now, I instantly turned angry and asked, Gu Nian still said honestly, "Take something." ”

"You haven't answered how you got here." Gu Nian chased after him.

Astragalus hid her face on the side, the girl usually looks clever, why did she become so stupid today.

must have known that the girl was here, so the prince came over.

Gu Nian hesitated, and when she reacted, she could feel the strong love from him, and she believed that the reason why he rushed back in such a dusty and sleepy hurry back must be for her sake.

Xiao Yue didn't speak again, holding her hand, "Let's go home." ”

After saying this, he smiled at her and slowly walked towards the carriage under the locust tree at the entrance of the alley.

Dark Yi, who was following Xiao Yue, hurriedly propped up the umbrella in his hand to the top of the two of them to shield the rain, Xiao Yue glanced at him and took the umbrella.

Gu Nian struggled and wanted to pull his hand out, but found that his hand was tightly gripping his hand, unable to move, needless to say, he knew that he would not let go.

The two got into the carriage, Uncle Yang was just sitting in the carriage, he was not surprised at all that Xiao Yue and Gu Nian were together, he obeyed the instructions of the dark one, and drove the carriage forward.

However, it didn't take long for the carriage to stop, Gu Nian opened the curtain and took a look, only to feel that the scenery in the distance was very familiar, and if you looked closely, next door was the yard of your own house!

The carriage stopped at the second gate, and when he got off the carriage, Xiao Yue did not let go of Gu Nian's hand, but hugged her from the carriage, Gu Nian followed Xiao Yue into the second gate, and the property insurance turned out to be a wide courtyard that covered an area of no smile, overlapping inside and out, I don't know how deep.

Entering the Moon Cave Gate, Xiao Yue pushed aside the branches that had entered the corridor, "Cut it." ”

Dark one followed behind, and it should be smart.

Walking through the road between the rockery, the eyes suddenly opened up again, it is a small garden, and the road of the small garden leads to the hugging building that links the main courtyard.

Xiao Yue took her into one of the rooms, put her on the couch, and then instructed Astragalus, "Go boil hot water, and prepare a set of clean clothes." ”

Astragalus responded smartly and soon went out.

Gu Nian looked at Xiao Yue's fierce action and fluent instructions in a daze, until Xiao Yue sat in front of her and asked in a tone that was so gentle that it was almost seductive,

"This is a private property that I have owned, no one knows, you have a good rest here, and change your wet clothes. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come here to find me. ”

He paused and asked, "What did you get from your house?" ”

Gu Nian was startled, looked at him in a daze, and saw that he was looking straight at himself, being stared at by such seductive peach blossom eyes, as if you were his world, "How do you know?" ”

"You know everything, don't you? My dad's business. She asked.

Of course he knew, Xiao Yue was silent, he had a lot of things to deal with, to check the messenger spy who stole the file, in the past few days, he had been on the road almost partly day and night, hungry, thirsty, gnawing a few mouthfuls of dry food and drinking saliva on horseback, unable to stay up, sleepy, just find a place to lie down and close his eyes, get up and take advantage of the road.

The only thought that supported him was to hope that she was okay, and when he came back, he received the news that she was here, so he rushed over, and now he saw that she was safe and sound, and the whole person was completely relaxed.

"You don't have to be afraid, don't think about anything, the emperor won't deal with your father, believe me." Xiao Yue gently stroked her slightly messy hair, and her voice seemed to become gentle again.

"Lord Wang, county lord, the water is already ready." Astragalus stood at the door with his clothes in his hands and reminded softly.

Gu Nian glanced at Xiao Yue, stood up, turned the screen, and went to the clean room.

By the time she came out after washing, Xiao Yue leaned on the couch and was already asleep.

Gu Nian approached gently, saw the cyan color in his eyes, couldn't bear to wake him up, sat on the edge of the couch and quietly looked at the sleeping Xiao Yue.

Sword eyebrows, straight nose, well-defined jaw, straight chin, the more she looks, the more reluctant she is to remove her eyes, the ghost makes a difference, she can't help but stretch out her hand to him and gently touch his cheek.

There are thousands of good things in the world, and the one that makes her most fortunate is that.

She likes this person, and this person happens to like her too.

Gu Nian thought that this was the best.

Slowly, she became gloomy, she pursed her lips, stood up, and called softly, "Astragalus." ”

Xiao Yue, who was on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze shot directly at Gu Nian.

"I'm going back." Originally, she wanted to talk to Xiao Yue about Gu Shi'an, but seeing that he was so tired, she decided to talk about it another day.

Xiao Yue looked at the sky outside, and the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

He personally sent Gu Nian out of the door, the rain became heavier and heavier, a few feet away was a rain and mist, and he couldn't see the distant scene clearly, he held an umbrella and walked side by side with Gu Nian, walking through the corridor, careful not to let her get wet.

Xiao Yue held her hand tightly when she came, and there was no cramped walk with him at the moment, but she didn't know what to say and was silent.

Soon, I saw the carriage parked at the second gate, and Uncle Yang was wearing a hat and cloak, sitting under the rain shield in front of the carriage.

Gu Nian couldn't help but secretly glance at the man next to him, when did he become so familiar with his grandmother's people, and he was so bold to call her coachman here.

When she was about to reach the side of the carriage, she saw Xiao Yue tilting the umbrella slightly, blocking the astragalus and the dark one's sight following behind, and the warm breath brushed her ears, and then whispered softly,

"Leave everything to me, and when your father is done, I'll marry you, okay?"

Regardless of the rain that would wet his clothes, Gu Nian climbed into the carriage with his head bored, put himself in the carriage, and then Astragalus also got into the carriage.

"County Lord, your skirt is wet." Astragalus carefully helped her get the wet hem of her skirt.

Gu Nian clenched her fists tightly, although she didn't know when she unloaded her heart from him, and even fell in love with her.

Her poison makes her have no tomorrow to speak of, maybe one day she closes her eyes and never sees the sun rising the next day.

Now, she feels like she's earning it every day.

Gu Nian was stunned, and there was no reaction at all.

Xiao Yue waited until Gu Nian left, changed his clothes, and got into the carriage outside the mansion gate that had been waiting for him for a long time, and the driver did not wait for his instructions, so he tried his best to rush to the direction of the palace.

In fact, time was already very short, he shouldn't have gone to see her, and he had been delayed for so long, but after he received the news, he was still desperate to pass.

Xiao Yue sat in the car, frowning, Gu Shi'an's affairs were linked one by one, and now he was actually pulled into the water, the dossier ......

This day will be no different for most people, but for a small number of people, their fortunes will take an unexpected turn.

Xiao Yue's car went to the gate of the palace, changed it into a sedan chair in the palace, and then got off the sedan chair and went to the imperial study.

When he arrived outside the door of the imperial study, a little eunuch went in to report, and after hearing the sound coming from inside, Xiao Yue walked in.

"Uncle Huang." After entering the imperial study, Xiao Yue bowed slightly.

Emperor Yongping saw Xiao Yue come in, "You have worked hard all the way, give me a seat." ”

Emperor Yongping seemed to be in a good mood, and after seeing Xiao Yue come in, there was a little smile in his eyes.

"I already know a rough idea of what happened over there, in detail, you can tell me." Emperor Yongping sat in front of the imperial case and picked up a few books on the table. ”

"Yes." After seeing the emperor sit down, Xiao Yue sat down on the stool given by the emperor, and then methodically explained what happened in Jiangnan one by one, and I don't know how long the two discussed it, and no one dared to come in and disturb during this period.

It wasn't until Emperor Yongping found that the tea bottomed out that he let the eunuchs come in to serve.

"Your Majesty, what haven't you used since the early dynasty, and this lunch will be used in the imperial study in a while?

Father-in-law Yu had no choice but to walk in and said secretly with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's right here, and I'll go back home when Xiao Jiu accompanies me to use it." Emperor Yongping put down the fold in his hand and rubbed his temples with his hands.

Yu Gonggong was ordered to retreat.

"Xiao Jiu, you did a good job this time, I want to reward you well, what do you want?" Emperor Yongping's mood seemed to be even better, and the whole person became gentler.

I only listened to Xiao Yuedao, "I don't know what kind of charter Uncle Huang has for Gu Shi'an?" ”

Emperor Yongping leaned back in his chair, and the brows that had been slightly furrowed when he was talking about things just now were wrinkled even deeper at this moment.

"What, what do you have to say?"

His voice was indistinguishable from joy and anger.

"The minister wants to exchange the reward for Gu Shi'an's peace." As Xiao Yue spoke, he stood up and knelt down in front of Emperor Yongping.

Emperor Yongping behind the table was silent, looking down at the child who had been with him since he was a child.

"Nonsense." Emperor Yongping suddenly stood up from his chair, stared at him and said, "Does that kid make you miss it so much?" ”

"In the past, if you married, you will marry, but now, no."

In the past, Gu Shi'an was his confidant, so he naturally wanted him to marry someone who was also loyal to him.

But now, Gu Shi'an is the orphan of the anti-king, how can he be allowed to work for himself with Xiao Yue.

Even if he agrees, will those subordinates who used to be anti-king agree?

Xiao Yue was silent, still kneeling there, Emperor Yongping glanced at him, seemed to sigh, and then waved his hand and said, "You get up, there are so many good girls in the world, I will find you the best, you are ready to marry, as for other women, you can as many as you want." ”

"Your Majesty, minister, I don't want to." Xiao Yue didn't get up, just raised his head and said.

"Bold!" Emperor Yongping immediately snorted, just outside Yu Gonggong led people to take the meal to the machine, and when he heard this movement, he hurriedly turned around and drove everyone out.

He has been by the emperor's side for many years, and he has more or less figured out a pattern, and the Nine Emperor Princes, who have been deeply favored for many years, are estimated to have provoked Emperor Mao again, and who is close to him at this time will suffer.

"It's not up to you."

Gu Shi'an was imprisoned for two days, and the court was divided into two factions, one faction was to severely punish Gu Shi'an, and the other faction was to protect Gu Shi'an.

Xiao Yue didn't get up, just stared at the emperor for a moment, and said, "Does Uncle Huang want to keep him locked up?" ”

Emperor Yongping was silent, stared into the distance for a moment, raised his hand and said, "At this time, I will have an explanation, you get up." ”

"Uncle Huang's explanation is to keep him locked up?"

"You're wrong." Emperor Yongping raised his arm, took a notebook and looked at him fixedly, "I never thought of killing him, and I didn't plan to lock him up this time, but decided to send him." ”

Xiao Yue stared at Emperor Yongping tightly, and reported to his father-in-law outside, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest princess of the country, and the lord of Kangle County ask to see Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yongping threw the fold, pursed his lips, and had a thin anger on his face, what do these people want to do? Are they all here to force him?

He looked at Xiao Yue, who was still kneeling, "Why don't you hurry up and give me up, do you want to lose my face?" ”

After that, he asked Father-in-law Yu to invite everyone in.

The first to come was the crown prince, who bent down and bowed his head to greet Emperor Yongping.

Emperor Yongping sighed, and after a while, he slowly stopped his gaze on the last Gu Nian.

Gu Nian hurriedly stood up and bowed to the ground in a proper posture, "Gu Nian, the daughter of the criminal minister, knock on the emperor." ”

When Emperor Yongping heard this, his eyes became sharp, and he said, "Gu? ”

The eldest princess of the protectorate has been in poor health since she vomited blood, and at this moment she sat on the stool given by the emperor with a sallow face, and said to Emperor Yongping, "Please also ask the Holy God to forgive you for your sins and bring this evil obstacle over." ”

The crown prince said, "My father has always regarded the suffering of the people of Li as the top priority, and now that my father is in prison, I beg my son to intercede with my father, how can my son not allow it?" ”

Emperor Yongping glared at him sharply, then looked at Gu Nian, and threw aside a book of folds spread out in his hand.

"Intercession? How to intercede, isn't he an orphan of the anti-king? Emperor Yongping looked at Gu Nian with a smile.

Gu Nian took a deep breath and took out the things that Gu Shi'an told her to take from the embroidery bag,

"Your Majesty, here is the information that my father has found for so long, you will definitely let my father go after reading it, and besides, what you are afraid of is nothing more than those loyal subordinates who oppose the king."

"But the courtier wants to say, if you kill my father, won't it anger those people even more? My father is here to give them peace of mind, and at the same time to help you integrate these people for your use. ”

Emperor Yongping's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and his father-in-law stepped forward to take the things in Gu Nian's hand and handed them to him.

The people below never spoke, and their eyes looked at Gu Nian with inexplicable meaning.

"Did he find out? Where is the man above? The dossier in the hand of Yongping Emperor Yang Yang was long in his voice.

Gu Nian replied quietly, "The courtiers don't know about this matter, only the father knows." ”

Emperor Yongping suddenly chuckled, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"The courtiers don't dare."

Xiao Yue took the opportunity to step forward, "Your Majesty, read ...... Lord Kangle is right, you can better control those people by keeping Master Gu. ”

Emperor Yongping stared at the ground, and did not make a sound.

Father-in-law Yu stepped in, "Your Majesty, Elder Yang Ge asks to see you." ”

Gu Nian was shocked when she heard this, how could Yang Ge Lao just come over so coincidentally, she couldn't think too much, she knelt down, "Your Majesty, please also ask the emperor to be gracious." ”

Gu Nian is convinced that Elder Yang Ge played a very important role in the exposure of his father's identity.

Seeing that Elder Yang Ge was already about to come over, Gu Nian couldn't help but add a little anxiety.

The arrival of Yang Ge Lao is very likely to be destroyed, she looked at the information in the emperor's hand, a large part of it is about Yang Ge Lao, and what he has done over the years is in it.

She was afraid that Yang Ge would know, so she would startle the snake.

Before she could say anything, Elder Yang Ge came in, and the emperor raised his eyes to look at Gu Nian, "You step down." ”

Seeing this, the eldest princess stood up on the side, "The emperor has state affairs to discuss, and the courtiers will retire." ”

Elder Yang Ge walked over, first saluted the emperor and the crown prince, and then looked at Gu Nian with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Xiao Yue also wanted to leave with Gu Nian, but was stopped by the emperor, "Xiao Jiu, you stay." ”

Gu Nian followed the eldest princess out of the imperial study, and a cold wind suddenly blew outside, which made her shiver in the most noble mansion in the world.

She thought that with that information, the crown prince, and the princess who protected the country, there was a great chance that her father would be released, but she didn't expect the emperor to drive her out so ruthlessly.

No wonder some people say that this deep palace is indifferent, and no wonder Xiao Yue was so indifferent in the past, it turns out that he has already felt this cold-bloodedness.

She didn't know what the emperor would do with her father, she only knew that she didn't know how to save her father.

If those files just now can't make the emperor loosen, then what opportunities can be used?

"Go back and get it." The eldest princess patted Gu Nian, and her voice was flat.

*

Since Mrs. Yu was seriously ill, although there were maids and daughters-in-law from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, several ladies and girls such as the Yang family took turns to serve Mrs. Yu's bedside.

Mama Bi entered the door and saw that Gu Ci was feeding Mrs. Yu medicine, and hurriedly sighed, "Where did the girl do this?" ”

Seeing the mess on the pillow, she snorted lightly, took a handkerchief from the side to wipe the old lady's face, and said, "Girl, let the slaves and maids do the work done by these subordinates, and the old lady must help her up and feed the medicine, so as not to choke her." ”

Gu Ci has long been impatient to wait for such a thing, since she was a child, she was raised by Jin Zun and Yugui, four big girls, eight second-class girls, other little girls, and countless mothers-in-law.

Now in the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, not only is there no one to serve, but even the food is not as good as before, which makes her complain about Gu Nian.

Sure enough, what my grandmother said was right, Gu Nian was a bad person, and she couldn't go back to Beijing with the eldest princess in the past, and she nested in a rural place like Jinling.

Later, when I returned to Beijing, I stayed in the Gu family for too long, so I was tired of the Gu family.

Needless to say, the third uncle is not the child of the Gu family who is annoyed by her.

In the past few days, she really wanted to go to Gu Nian to have a seizure, but the maids in the house were like saw-mouthed gourds, and asked them where Gu Nian was, and they all said they didn't know.

Don't lie to her, you can't fool a ghost, these people are so foolish.

In fact, the eldest princess of the protector invited the imperial doctor to Mrs. Yu, and also said that Mrs. Yu wanted to recuperate, but Mama Bi moved her around, just drank hot medicine, and fed her a cup of honey water, alternating hot and cold.

The anger in the eyes of the old lady was monstrous, and she couldn't speak, she kept screaming, wanting Gu Ci to save her, but in fact, except for Mama Bi, anyone else would scream like this.

Now people are panicking, and everyone is impatient to take care of her, let alone listen to her ugly voice.

The old lady was still 'ho ho' in her mouth, and Mama Bi heard her voice and said to Gu Ci, "The third girl is really filial, although the old lady doesn't say it, she understands it in her heart." ”

Gu Ci smiled reluctantly and said, "I'll leave it to you here." After saying that, he fled and left.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yu's heart was even more angry, and the fire in her heart became more and more vigorous, and under the anger, her body was hot again, and Mama Bi just burned a charcoal basin next to her bed.

For this charcoal basin, several members of the Gu family sighed at Mama Bi's thoughts, it was Mama Bi who specially asked for the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

It's just because Mrs. Yu often trembles.

Mama Bi lit the charcoal basin and helped Mrs. Yu cover the quilt, the hot Mrs. Yu was sweating profusely, and she blinked her eyes violently.

Mama Bi stood on the side, looked at Mrs. Yu, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the old lady's body is quite capable of tossing." ”

Outside, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was the princess who protected the country and walked in surrounded by the maid.

When Mama Bi saw it, she quickly stood up and said respectfully, "You're here?" ”

The princess of the protector bowed her head, and Mama Su waved away the subordinates and closed the door.

"In-laws, how are you doing these days? Is the house still well cared for? The eldest princess looked at Old Madam Yu with a smile.

Old Madam Yu glared at her angrily, only to hear the princess continue, "Today, you should tell me who that person is. ”
