In the carriage, Gu Nian was silent for a while, and she said, "The emperor's eldest grandson will ...... in the future."

"There is no future." Xiao Yue said, "Brother Prince gave up everything, only this country remains, he wants it, but he doesn't want it." In the future, no matter what, the country will not be handed over to a waste. ”

How many things did the prince give up in his life? Too tired and too hard. He hoped that in the future, the crown prince would be able to rule the world according to his own heart, and hand over the world to someone who could inherit his will and inherit the world.

This was probably expected by Gu Nian, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Others, maybe gangsters can get by, but joining the royal family is not something that can be mixed. The eldest grandson of the emperor is really not as good as a gangster.

"You don't have to think about these things." Xiao Yue said, "Tell you, just to let you know that there will be a time for you to relieve your anger in the future." ”

Gu Nian smiled, "I'm not that angry. However, she frowned again and said, "If something like this happens at the gate of the palace, it must not be hidden, can it be passed so easily?" ”

Xiao Yue smiled mockingly, "If the emperor's eldest grandson makes a mistake, he must pull out a scapegoat." ”

He hugged Gu Nian into his arms, and God knew the mood he felt when he saw Lin Rui pull out the soft whip from his waist, as if millions of ants were biting his heart.

He was afraid, he was afraid, he was afraid that if his pace was slower a little longer, he would not be able to stop the whip, and Gu Nian would be hurt.

The soft whip cut through the palm of his hand, causing the slightest pain, but then he was truly relieved that she was safe.

But that kind of fear, he resolutely refused to come aside, because next time, he didn't know if he could protect her by chance.

Today he was going to the East Palace to discuss the next matter with the prince, but before he reached the East Palace, he felt empty in his heart, and he said goodbye to the prince for no reason.

Fortunately, he listened to his heart and left the palace. Otherwise, he couldn't have imagined.

This revenge, he must help her get it back!!

Gu Nian let him hold him, gently snuggled up to his broad chest, felt his strong and powerful heartbeat, and instantly felt extremely stable, he cared about her so much, when danger came, he was willing to block her with his body, and he didn't want her to be hurt in the slightest.

This deep affection lingers in her heart at the moment, making her extremely satisfied.

*

Such a big thing happened on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the fun with the people that was supposed to be held on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival was also canceled.

Under the deliberate control inside and outside the palace, what happened in the Heart Cultivation Hall that day did not spread out in large quantities outside the palace.

The royal family will not say it for the sake of their own face, and several nobles have their own little long time in their hearts, and they will not say it outside.

On the tenth day of the fifth month of the 33rd year of Chengping, the imperial court promulgated a decree, because 'the Queen Mother and the King of Peace united to rebel, and the Queen Mother was reduced to a concubine and was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

With the same purpose, King Ping was beheaded all over the house, and the female dependents were sent to the court as slaves, men, and there were no men in the Ping Palace. The child born to King Ping by the Queen Mother has been sent out by King Ping for a long time.

Emperor Yongping asked Gu Shi'an, the king of Su, to track down the whereabouts of the child.

The huge Pingwang Mansion was empty, quiet and a little scary.

The back house of the Pingwang Mansion is exquisitely repaired, the flowers are full of flowers, and there is no shortage of famous flowers and trees, but once no one moves, it will inevitably reveal the scene of decay, especially the faint cry of a woman comes from afar, which makes the entire Pingwang Mansion fall into a strange atmosphere.

In the backyard, in the small courtyard where Princess Ping lived, two big men with swords were guarding the door, and when they saw the dark one, they didn't seem to see it.

Princess Ping is the wife of King Ping, but the furniture in the house is extremely ordinary, Princess Ping sat on a chair under the window, looked outside, and heard someone coming in motionless.

Since the day she entered the Ping Palace, every day has been as long as a year, as if she has lived a lifetime, with a kind of vicissitudes and indifference that sees through the world.

"You're here?" Princess Ping bowed her head, and it was at this time that she did not panic about the impending catastrophe.

nodded darkly, "The prince ordered to send you away, but you can't stay in the capital, our princess has two Zhuangzi in Yanzhou, you can go there." ”

Princess Ping looked ready, and when she heard this, she stood up, went behind the screen, and came out again, wearing a homely muslin dress, which looked half-worn and not eye-catching.

There was only a small hairpin on her head, covered with gold and silver, but she changed her clothes, and she instantly changed from the concubine of the Ping Wangfu to a civilian woman with an ordinary family.

Princess Ping took out an indigo bag from the cabinet next to her, a picture of preparation for a long journey.

She smiled, "Please thank Princess Jin for her thoughtfulness for me, I know that Princess Jin will not leave me alone." ”

It's just this smile that you can see the demeanor of being a royal concubine.

The dark one was sent by Xiao Yue, and it was originally the Jinyi Guard's person who raided the house today, and he also got Gu Shi'an's consent to come over.

King Ping sent all the concubines out to win over the ministers, and even the former Princess Xianping killed the main room and the children because he wanted to get the support of the queen mother.

And this Princess Jiping, although she was born ordinary and her appearance is not stunning, she can let King Ping let her go, leave all the family affairs to her to take care of, and even let her go in an important place like the study.

Originally, I couldn't see through it, why did the prince agree with what the princess said to release Princess Ping and send it away.

Such a woman is indeed not simple.

This will did not cause an uproar, it was really an unexpected calm, almost everyone knew why the Queen Mother and King Heping were convicted, and the court issued this will, with such a crime, although it is a fact, but in fact it is just a fig leaf that everyone knows.

The Queen Mother began to be stabbed by King Ping, I don't know if it was King Ping's mercy or what, and it didn't really hurt the point, but later, I knew how many years Emperor Zhen Yongping had been dead.

Although she once had this idea, when the truth was exposed, she still couldn't accept it, and under the stimulation, coupled with the fact that King Ping kicked him later, she didn't wait for the imperial doctor to come to save her, and she was already dead.

And those female dependents of the Pingwang Mansion did not really go to the court as slaves, and at the same time as the eunuchs announced the decree, there were also palace eunuchs in charge of the palace who were in charge of the palace, carrying poisonous wine, and giving it to those female dependents.

A room of women looked at the cups of poisonous wine in despair, Gu Ciku sat on the chair, her eyes were blank, her hair was messy, she grabbed the hand of the eunuch who announced the decree and said,

"Father-in-law, I went to the palace to expose King Ping, why do I still want to die, is it a mistake?"

The eunuch who announced the decree frowned, and pushed Gu Ci away, "This is the will of the above, the miscellaneous family is just announcing the decree, and nothing else is clear." ”

Gu Ci didn't expect to hear such a sentence, she showed a look of horror in her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to grab the clothes of the eunuch in her hand, but she was dodged by the eunuch.

"Gu Nian, it's all Gu Nian who hurt me......" Gu Ci kept saying, it was Gu Ci who grabbed Xia Ju beside her, and after interrogation, asked Xia Ju to come back and provoke her into the palace to denounce King Ping, so as to protect herself.

She helped King Ping do so many things, so naturally she discovered his strangeness and knew what he was going to do, so under Xia Ju's provocation, she went to the palace and said those shameful things.

If she had known this, she would not have said anything about her death, maybe after King Ping succeeded, she would still be able to be the imperial concubine......

"Gu Nian, I ...... even if I die" Gu Ci scolded, but before she finished scolding, the stout mothers-in-law of the Shen Criminal Division twisted their hands to cover their mouths and poured the poisonous wine into her mouth.

Gu Ci's eyes widened, as if he saw Gu Nian's shadow.

The sunlight shining in from the door shone on Gu Nian's tall figure, casting a shadow, and she stood at the door and watched those people pour poisoned wine on her.

Gu Ci clutched her throat in pain, unable to speak, she shaved her hands on the ground a few times, trying to crawl towards the empty shadow at the door......

Blood kept gushing out of her mouth, and she seemed to have returned to the time when the Duke of Qi was still there, and she was the Gu San girl praised by everyone in Beijing.

She looked at the wood-like Gu Nian with a clever smile, looked down at her, and laughed at her......

That seems like a long time ago.

Gu Ci shuddered and fell to the ground.

Compared with these news, the news that the crown princess of the East Palace killed the inner servants beside the emperor's eldest grandson was like a pebble thrown into the lake, and there was no sound at all.

*

When Gu Nian heard the news of Gu Ci's death, he was distracted for a moment.

The revenge of 'Xiao Gu Nian' was finally avenged, but he didn't feel half happy.

Gu Nian looked at Xu'er lying on the red gold shaker, and couldn't say what was cause and effect, so the death of 'Little Gu Nian' had her appearance.

The only thing she can do is to help her get revenge and live well.

Spring to autumn, alternating between cold and summer, a flash to the end of the year, this year is also very usual, from a small age, the front gate building in the door downstairs hung a color of glazed palace lamp, as well as such as plum, green pine and other colors of bonsai are also placed under the shadow wall.

If there are many people in other palaces, they will also sing on stage, but there are only three masters in the Jin Palace, so they are exempted.

Xu'er is so young that she can't understand it at all, and Xiao Yue prefers to go to the opera garden with Gu Nianweifu to watch, because there are many people, you can listen to all kinds of gossip, and you can also rub the dim sum in the garden to eat.

The long history of the house is still Zhang Changshi, and Gu Nian also spoke to him, if someone wants to watch a play, they can also invite it, as long as the cost is not overrun, it can be allowed.

How to arrange the New Year in the mansion and what to prepare, it is all up to him to take care of it, and the one who is in charge of the property of the palace outside is the white shadow around Xiao Yue in the past.

This white shadow, Gu Nian had seen it when he first met Xiao Yue, and later, it was Dark One who followed him.

This time King Ping rebelled, and the white shadow suddenly appeared again, it turned out that he was the shadow guard Dark Seven...... Speaking of Dark Seven, Gu Nian actually has a question, the person behind the Ji family is clearly the Duke of Yasukuni, but why was King Ping interrogated after Dark Seven was arrested that time.

The specific reason for this is no longer known with the death of the King of Yasukuni and King Heping.

According to the posture of King Ping at the mercy of the Duke of Yasukuni, perhaps King Ping of that day simply went to replace the Duke of Yasukuni.

From the beginning of saying that the world would be handed over to the crown prince in the future, Emperor Yongping was idle wholeheartedly, handed over everything to the prince, and sent all the twists and turns to the East Palace.

Now Emperor Yongping bears the name of the emperor and enjoys the treatment of the emperor, and the crown prince is doing all the work.

In this way, twenty-three years have passed in Chengping, twenty-four years, twenty-five years, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the spring of twenty-six years.

This year's spring is still just an ordinary new year's beginning, but since last year, Emperor Yongping's body has gradually not been as good as in the first few years, sleeping shallow at night, and sometimes having headaches.

I came back from the morning today, and it hurt for a while.

Emperor Yongping sat on the bed, and his father-in-law saw that there was a layer of sweat on the back of his white shirt, which was attached to his back, and a layer of water also faintly appeared on his forehead.

He hurriedly took a towel to wipe his sweat, "Your Majesty, does your head still hurt?" You must take care of the dragon body, the imperial doctor also said, Your Majesty is the liver is depressed, and the qi is in the heart, you still have to cultivate carefully, and your body will be good. ”

Emperor Yongping didn't respond, wiped his sweat, threw down the sweat towel, and asked, "How else can you meditate?" Now I've let go of everything. ”

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yongping's voice became deep and fierce, and Father-in-law Yu held his breath, and said with a smile after a while, "Didn't you often say that you were tired in the past? Now that the prince has gotten started, isn't it very good. ”

Emperor Yongping didn't say a word, slowly got off, dragged his shoes to the window, pushed open the window, and asked half-loudly, "In the Jin Palace, has there been news about that child recently?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's the news that came some time ago, and there has been no new news during this time...... If Your Majesty is concerned, the slaves and maids will send a message and let them send it in. ”

"Your Majesty, if you really want to see it, why don't you let His Royal Highness King Jin bring him into the palace?" Father-in-law Yu said cautiously.

But he thought that in the past three years, His Royal Highness King Jin had never come to see His Majesty once unless necessary, and everything was reported to the prince.

As for Xiao Xi, the little prince, he never entered the palace once, and he didn't let the emperor take a look.

All the news about Xiao Shizi was reported back by the people sent by the emperor.

Emperor Yongping was silent for a moment, "That child was born in the spring of the twenty-third year of Chengping, and now in the spring of the twenty-sixth year, he is three years old, and I really want to see him." ”

He withdrew his gaze from the window, turned around and wanted to go to the side hall to change his clothes, but as soon as he raised his foot, he only felt dizzy, but fortunately he grabbed the window lattice quickly, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

Father-in-law Yu screamed in horror, and hurriedly went over to support the pale Emperor Yongping, but saw that his face changed again, and then let him spurt blood.

"Your Majesty."

“…… Don't be in a hurry...... Don't be in a hurry...... It's called Imperial Doctor Xu...... Don't go out ......"

When the words fell, the person fainted.

The palace people in the Heart Cultivation Hall were in a panic, and after the panic, Father-in-law Yu immediately restrained himself and calmed down, quickly gave orders, and asked the palace people on duty in the Heart Cultivation Hall to be watched and locked up, and then asked the palace people to help the unconscious emperor to the couch inside, and let people quietly invite Imperial Doctor Xu.

Imperial Physician Xu was sentenced by the Tai Hospital, and was raised by Emperor Yongping after he ascended the throne, and he was only loyal to Emperor Yongping, so he didn't have to worry about spreading his illness.

Since ancient times, the emperor's sneeze can be reminiscent of a lot, and if there is a small illness, it is a big deal.

Father-in-law Yu is the most trusted person of Emperor Yongping, so he naturally knows the result of the emperor vomiting blood and falling into a coma.

On this day, when everyone was still unclear, the Palace of Cultivating the Heart had already made the Praetorian Guards belonging to the emperor stand still and strictly guard.

The next day, when they heard that the emperor was sick and boycotted the dynasty, although everyone was suspicious, but this kind of thing was not nothing.

What's more, even if Emperor Yongping falls, but with the crown prince here, the government will not be in chaos, so not many people take this matter to heart.

However, two days later, the emperor of the three-day court meeting was still unwell and could not appear, which made people begin to suspect what was happening, and then the prince also went to the Yangxin Palace to ask to see the emperor, and he was politely invited back by his father-in-law.

There was a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace.

There was a lot of discussion outside, but at this time, the Jin Palace's mansion was quiet and quiet.

In a small school yard to the east, a boy came here early in the morning and began his daily practice.

The boy was no more than three or four years old, and he was handsome in a white Songjiang cotton shirt, and his hair was combed in two knots, like two small horns on both sides of his head. It's very cute.

After arriving at the school grounds, on a desk above, inserted a stick of incense, and began to walk on the horse.

As the sun gradually rose, the incense shortened, and although he had just practiced, the boy's forehead soon began to sweat, but he still did not move.

However, an entourage who came with him, seeing that the little boy he took care of was only more than three years old, began to practice so hard.

He puffed up his cheeks and blew the burning incense vigorously, blowing out of breath, until finally a layer of hot sweat broke out, and finally the incense was blown out.

Seeing that the incense was extinguished, the entourage breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily, "Little Shizi, look, the incense has been extinguished, and the horse is tied up today." ”

That boy is Gu Nian and Xiao Yue's son, Xiao Xi, nicknamed Xu'er.

He listened to the words of the attendant, but as if he had not heard, he continued to squat and walk, his small body as motionless as a hill.

His eyes were on the shadow cast by a small tree in front of him, and when the shadow was attached to the corner, he stood up and moved his soreness calf.

"Xiao Shunzi, wait for my father to come, ask me if I have practiced a full stick of incense, I said you helped me blow it, I had to look at the shadow of the tree, and I don't know if it is full."

He was still young, and his voice was a little childish, and it sounded soft, but it scared the man called 'Little Shunzi'.

He knelt on the ground in fright, slapped himself, and said to Xu'er with a sad face, "Xiao Shizi, you have bypassed me this time, don't dare next time." ”

Xu'er stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and didn't let him continue to beat himself, and said, "I know that you feel sorry for me and do it for my good, but I don't like this, and I must do what I promised."

Just now, I was just scaring you, I won't tell my father and mother, but next time, if you are still like this, I will be really angry. ”

Xiao Shunzi stood up, nodded vigorously, Xu Er smiled, took a small bow from the weapon rack on the side, set up an arrow, pulled the bow, aimed, aimed at the target in front of him, let go, shot the arrow, and the action was done in one go.

Although the arrow did not hit the bull's-eye, he was so old, his eyes, posture, and posture were very calm, and he already had everyone's demeanor.

Xu Er shot one arrow after another, although he didn't hit the bull's-eye, he didn't stop, and kept practicing calmly.

Xiao Shunzi watched from the side, feeling distressed for a while, and he couldn't go up to do it himself, but after the incident of blowing incense just now, he didn't dare to make a sound, until Xu'er stopped, he handed over the handkerchief, helped sweat, and poured warm water for Xu'er to eat.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the school, Xu Er was drinking water, Xiao Shunzi turned to look, and saw that it was the princess who came, her face was happy, and she hurriedly went up to greet the princess.

Xu'er had just turned three years old, and was carried to the school by Xiao Yue, although Gu Nian was distressed, but seeing that Xu'er was also very happy, he didn't stop it.

But the eldest princess of the protector was very distressed, how Xiao Yue used to look at it, how it was pleasing to the eye, but now it is how to look at it, how it is not pleasing to the eye.

Probably, this is the next generation.

The eldest princess always felt that Xu'er was still young, so she had already done her homework.

Xu'er was brought up by her, from a small group, to learning to speak, walking, and witnessing step by step, just like Gu Nian before, it was her heart's meat.

Later, it was Gu Shi'an who comforted the eldest princess of the country, Xu'er is the eldest son, whether it is Su Wangfu or Jin Wangfu, he will always inherit one, and he will also set an example for the younger brothers and sisters below.

After Xu'er drank the water, she saw Gu Nian coming, hurriedly put down the tea bowl and ran over.

Gu Nian picked him up, saw that he was sweaty, touched his back, he was also sweaty, and he was very distressed, and while helping him wipe his sweat, he asked him if he was tired.

Since he turned three last month, Xiao Yue began to let him go to school.

Single-day, every morning, reading, writing. On the double day, it is to practice archery in the small school field.

Originally, Xiao Yue accompanied him, but before dawn today, Xiao Yue was declared into the palace by the emperor, and the little guy came by himself, according to what his father taught him, Zama step, archery, one board and one eye, and he looked good.

Xu Er looked like a little adult in front of Xiao Yue, but when he came to Gu Nian, he was a soft child, he hugged Gu Nian's neck, his body was snuggled in her arms, and his little face also leaned over and nodded.

Gu Nian opened his little hand, and saw that there were traces of being strangled by the bowstring on it, and his heart twitched again, and he couldn't help but complain about Xiao Yuelai.

……

In the palace, Xiao Yue was summoned by Emperor Yongping, and when he entered, Emperor Yongping was lying on the couch, his face was gray and sallow, and his eyes were tightly closed.

Xiao Yue pursed his lips, how long had it been since he had looked at Uncle Huang carefully?

A mixed mood surged in his heart, more sour.

Father-in-law Yu waved all the palace people back, and then stood alone in an inconspicuous corner.

The emperor on the couch slowly opened his eyes.

He rolled his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the son who had been summoned in alone and stood in front of the couch.

Emperor Yongping's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, moved his lips slightly, and said in a low voice, "Since I decided to change my face back then, I have known that there is today. ”

"This is the sequelae of the makeover, the life span is halved!"

"Lately, I often think about the past, the things you did when you were a child, and how much you relied on me at that time......"

He stopped, looking a little dazed, as if caught in the memory of the past.

"I know that in the past few years, you have been resenting me in your heart for acting unfairly, not only you, but also me, and often ask yourself, when I was in the northern Xinjiang, should I have decided or not?"

He used his life as the price, and his family affection as the price, in exchange for the emperor's road for half his life.

He has lost so much, should he or shouldn't?
