81, startled horse

King Su's eyes fell on the bowl of supper, and he looked at it for a long time, so long that the eunuch thought that he had been recognized, and when he was trembling outside the door, he picked up the bowl of supper, and ate it in one bite.

That night, King Su vomited blood, and the people of the old King Su Mansion thought that he committed suicide. Finally closed his eyes and left. ”

"The first emperor still had a father-son relationship with King Su at that time, after all, it is no accident that King Su will be named the crown prince, although the first emperor circled him, but he did not move to kill, and he didn't even let people check it, just because he was afraid that if this crime was implemented, King Su would die."

"Then the eunuch didn't say who bought him?" When Gu Nian heard this, his brows furrowed, dozens of thoughts have passed, it must be difficult to verify the truth or falsehood, but it is better to have clues than no clues.

What did King Su go through at that time to drink that bowl of supper like that?

Gu Shi'an's expression was stunned, "He said that he was a prince of the first emperor, but that prince had already been killed in that turmoil, how could he give him a killing order to poison King Su later?" ”

Xiao Yue listened to Gu Shi'an talk about the collected news on the side, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Father-in-law, didn't you say that there was a suicide note from King Su back then?" How did it come out? It is still rumored that the whole capital knows? ”

Gu Shi'an smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and said, "It's a pity that that eunuch has lived for so many years, and after I found him, he finally committed suicide by taking poison, and there are still many things that I haven't been able to ask." ”

"However, he once said that the person who bought him knew King Su's every move, routine, and hobbies very well."

Gu Nian groaned and didn't speak.

"The British Duke must be sixty or seventy years old, right? and the old Duke of Qi, King Su was a good friend back then, but only he had the most beautiful life. ”

The old Duke of Qi has been dead for many years, and now the title of the Duke of Qi no longer exists. King Su died with an unbearable reputation.

And the British Duke is still very favored, although he doesn't care much about the government, but the emperor has any pending matters, he will summon the British Duke into the palace to talk.

"Daddy, how much do you know about the British public?"

In fact, she was suspicious of the British public a long time ago.

"I don't know much about the British public." Gu Shi'an frowned, all along, in his impression, the British Duke was a good friend of the old Qi Guogong, a kind elder, who took care of him from childhood to adulthood.

"Do you suspect that the British Duke is behind this series??" Xiao Yue quickly caught the key to her words and walked in front of her.

Gu Nian didn't speak, but silence meant yes.

So far, the British princess seems too perfect, and she doesn't believe that there is such a perfect person.

"Yes, I doubt him, I can't say why, it's just an intuition." Gu Nian looked at Gu Shi'an and Xiao Yue honestly.

Xiao Yue tapped his index finger on the table, his brows furrowed, and sat opposite her, "He has rarely gone out in recent years, and even when he goes out, he is very low-key." ”

"However, since you have suspicions, I will let my men investigate, and I will always have to find other flaws."

Gu Shi'an said, "I will also let the people in the rivers and lakes investigate." ”

Gu Nian nodded, "Maybe I'm wrong, but if you have doubts, you always have to verify it, it's not that he is naturally excellent." ”

"Niannian, I want to move your mother's grave out of the Gu family's graveyard and find a new place to relocate, what do you think?" Gu Shi'an asked.

"Of course I agree." Gu Nian blurted out that she had long wanted to move her mother's grave out of the Gu family's ancestral grave. It's just because her father and grandmother are there, and she can't do this as a junior.

Gu Nian paused, "Does grandmother agree?" ”

Gu Shi'an, "Your grandmother must agree, I used to want your mother to have someone to worship incense in the future, but now the Gu family and we are like enemies, let alone offering incense, one day your mother's bones will be ruined." ”

Gu Shi'an moved the tomb out at this time, in fact, he also heard the emperor's tone, probably to let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. When the time comes, it has nothing to do with the Gu family, so it is natural to reopen the mansion.

"After consulting with your grandmother, I will choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and I will send someone to inform you at that time." Gu Shi'an said.

After that, Gu Nian watched the two men in the world who were most closely connected to her talking happily, although sometimes sparks were flying, but she was still very happy.

She sat quietly on the side, listening to what the two of them said, and I analyzed where to start to investigate the affairs of the British princess, analyzed the situation between the DPRK and China, and talked freely about how to deal with it.

Although she was talking about such a serious matter, she felt quiet and content.

It wasn't until the evening, after having dinner at the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, that Gu Nian and his wife left the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

When the eldest princess of the protector was leaving, she took Gu Nian's hand and looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Don't look at this child's well-behaved, in fact, he is very willful, and he is spoiled by me." Sometimes I don't even want to deal with her. ”

Gu Nian pursed her lips and looked at the princess of the protector aggrievedly.

"Niannian is very good, my daughter's family should be pampered, I am a few years older than her, I should let her spoil her." Xiao Yue is serious.

The eldest princess of the protector looked at Gu Nian, "She is a small-minded person who can't tolerate people, so I want you to bear with me." ”

The cautious Gu Nian twisted his body.

Xiao Yue said, "When I asked for marriage that day, I said that there will only be one thought in this life, and I can only pretend to miss one person, if I violate this oath, I will be ruined and have nothing." ”

His voice was not loud, but it was loud.

The eldest princess of the protector and Gu Shi'an both looked at him, as if they wanted to see through him and his heart.

Xiao Yue stood there calmly.

The eldest princess laughed, and the people in front of her had already said this, as if she had nothing to say.

However, she only has this bit of blood and blood, no matter who she marries, she is probably not at ease.

Gu Nian said goodbye to the eldest princess of the country, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her grandmother's eyes, and said with a smile, "It's just a few streets away, if my grandmother misses me, let someone call me." ”

The words are like this, but the children who have been with each other for more than ten years are no longer in front of her, and the eldest princess of the country feels that her heart is empty, and it always seems that something is missing.

She turned her face sideways, secretly wiped her tears, and said, "The girl who left the pavilion still runs to her mother's house from time to time, because she will be laughed at by her mother-in-law's family, and my grandmother doesn't expect you to come to see me often, as long as you live a good life and Ah Yue treats you well, I will rest assured." ”

Whether you admit it in your heart or not, a man's respect and favor are related to a woman's life.

Although the eldest princess of the protectorate used to be a woman who was decisive in killing, she was a woman after all, and now, she is an old man, she is not afraid that the people of the Jin Palace's mansion will not wait to see Gu Nian, nor is she afraid that Gu Nian will suffer at the hands of Concubine Ji.

What she cares about most in her heart is still to care about the harmony between husband and wife.

Gu Nian glanced at Xiao Yue, who was talking goodbye to Gu Shi'an, An Yuanhou and others in the distance, he restrained the cold aura on his body, although he was not gentle enough, he was willing to restrain himself in front of her relatives, and he had done a good job.

Looking back and smiling, he said to the eldest princess, "Grandmother, don't worry, Nian Nian will definitely say that life is good." ”

Whether it is life or feelings, it needs to be managed, Xiao Yue does not resist her, and can even say that he likes her, in this case, as long as she works hard, there is no reason to live a bad life.

The eldest princess of the protector took Gu Nian's hand and was reluctant to let go.

She watched the carriage drift away, and said to Mama Su, "When Jingning came out of the pavilion, I was also in this mood, looking forward to her marrying a good family. ”

She smiled, "She is married to a good family, but unfortunately her life is too thin." ”

"Nian Nian is married closely, and I see it in the old and small years, when I was quiet, I was far away in Jinling, and it was difficult to see each other."

Mama Su comforted her while helping her back to the yard.

In the gently swaying carriage, Gu Nian's eyes were red and she lifted the curtain to look at the bustling street outside, Xiao Yue saw that she was fascinated, and leaned over, "What are you looking at?" ”

The intimacy that happened naturally, the unconsciously physical contact, he put his neck on her shoulder, and the heat of his lips as he spoke, inadvertently blowing on her earlobe, arousing a slight tremble.

Xiao Yue hugged her from behind her, looked over from the side, Gu Nian's eyes were red, knowing that she must have cried, and his heart was not tight.

He said, "Are you crying? Why? ”

Gu Nian sniffed, lowered the curtain, and said, "It's uncomfortable, I won't be able to see grandmothers in the future." ”

"In the future, you have nothing to do, come back if you want to." Xiao Yue stroked the corners of her eyes.

Gu Nian turned his head to look at him, turned his mind away, and said, "Thank you." Then she kissed him on the cheek.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the neighing of startled horses outside, and then felt the carriage tilt, and the cries rang out in the street, and she understood that she had probably suffered a car accident.

At the moment when the carriage tilted, Xiao Yue's arm around her waist became tighter and tighter, almost holding her whole body in his arms, and then said two words in her ear, "Don't be afraid." ”

The carriage also stood still.

Outside the carriage, a man in a purple robe stood still, "Is there anyone injured in the carriage?" ”

The voice was cold, with an icy coldness, coming in from outside.

Gu Nian's face was silent, but the rise and fall of her chest revealed her emotions, her body was cold at the moment, and a wave of anger spread in her chest.

How can the fourth prince think of a dough that can't be shaken off, he is everywhere.

In this bustling street and alley, the four princes staged this scene of a startling horse crash to force her and Xiao Yue to show up, so as to determine whether she and Xiao Yue were harmonious?

She couldn't think of any other reason.

It turns out that this person, no matter how many lives he has passed, how many identities and appearances he has changed, but he is still such a wicked person.

He probably never thought that a carriage overturning would hurt her as well.

Gu Nian's face was not good, Xiao Yue's face was also very bad, he asked Gu Nian to stay in the car, opened the curtain and went out, Gu Nian said, "Let's go out together, and we will level the carriage later." ”

Xiao Yue took Gu Nian's hand, jumped off the carriage first, and then carefully helped Gu Nian get out of the carriage, and asked the coachman who was driving the carriage, "What happened?" ”

The coachman bowed down and replied, "Back to the prince's words, it was the fourth prince who rode his horse over, and for some reason startled the horse and crashed into the back of the carriage. Fortunately, the four princes were highly skilled and held the reins in time, so that they did not cause a tragedy. ”

So far, if it's not intentional, I can't think of a better reason.

Xiao Yue glanced at the fourth prince and said in a sinister manner, "Fourth, you already have a lot of bad problems, if you add another horse on the street, tsk, I say, can you still have a point of interest?" ”

Xiao Yue's voice was full of mockery, he knew that the old four thieves were immortal, but he didn't expect that he would dare to do this, fortunately he was here today, and he protected Nian Nian in time, if he wasn't there, maybe he would be injured.

As soon as he thought that Gu Nian would be injured because of his negligence, he felt that the fourth prince was unforgivable.

But in the end, he still remembers that this is on the street of the capital, if it is usual, he will kill on a large scale, but today Nian Nian is by his side, and it is a good day, so he can't see red.

He clenched his fists tightly behind his back, and raised his chin to look at the four princes.

The fourth prince's eyes were deep, and he looked at the hands that were still holding him with a smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "My horse was frightened and hit Xiao Jiu's carriage, this back is broken, I'm afraid it's not good to get on the road, it's better for me to invite the two of you to eat and make amends, and wait until the palace sends another carriage to pick it up, okay?" ”

Gu Nian pursed her lips tightly, she didn't even do the basic greetings, she just looked up at the four princes, trying to suppress her anger.

"Eat? I'm afraid that I won't laugh at the meal you invited, so I'm exempt. Today is a good day for my wife to return to the door, the uncle doesn't want to see red, next time I will ask the fourth brother to practice your riding skills before going out. ”

The fourth prince's whole body trembled, and he held the reins, "Xiao Jiu, I am kind enough to make amends with you, and you don't accept it, so insulting people do it." ”

"There will be another time, don't blame me for turning my face ruthlessly."

"Can you bear with me?" Xiao Yue sneered, "You did everything, but you didn't let others say it?" This is self-deception, is it deceiving others or deceiving yourself? ”

The fourth prince looked at Xiao Yue with a pale face, although what Xiao Yue said was headless and brainless, but he felt that the secret matter in his heart was said by him, and he was a little annoyed and angry, but he also had a lot of experience, took a deep breath to suppress the fire, his voice was calm, and he said to Xiao Yue,

"Xiao Jiu, whether you believe it or not, it was really unintentional just now, and I really want to make amends with you, I know that you have always been at odds with me because of your eldest brother, in fact, it is the eldest brother who has many hearts, and the order of the elders and young is the family law of the ancestors, I have never thought of transgressing, I don't even have an heir until now, what are you doing fighting for the throne?"

"The matter of the throne has nothing to do with me, I am just a foreign surname, if you say it clearly, I will say it directly, I know what you think in your heart, it was just in the past, but in the future, it is not something you can covet. It's good to take away those dirty things. ”

The fourth prince snorted coldly and paused, "Your subordinates have countless souls, you have been abnormal since you were a child, marrying you as a wife is undoubtedly pushing into the gate of hell......"

Gu Nian tried hard to restrain his anger, stepped forward and blessed the four princes, and said slowly,

"I don't know where the prince has a misunderstanding about my husband, my prince is very good to me, today, I will say something unlucky, if my prince goes, I will immediately find a rope to follow him, just like you are in the heart of the princess, I think there is no one in this world better than my prince."

"The acting king is a person who does great things, please don't pay too much attention to the feelings of our husband and wife, although you are an elder and care for the younger generation, but now I am your brother and daughter-in-law, and I will be a family in the future, look up and see you."

"You respect me, I respect you, but if you slander my husband, then I will not be polite to you."

After Gu Nian finished speaking, he didn't look at him again, turned around and got into the carriage.

Xiao Yue glanced at the four princes sneeringly, followed behind Gu Nian, and got into the carriage.

The fourth prince looked at the carriage that had gone away, his eyes were obscure, and now, he was so far away from her, as if he had met by chance today, he could not reach her.

But he knew that sooner or later she would be his own! Just as the supreme position would also be his.

He was convinced of this.

After Xiao Yue followed Gu Nian into the carriage, he waited until the carriage started, reached out and hugged Gu Nian, pressed her in his arms and gnawed and bitten, licked and licked after biting, and leaned into her ear and said, "You really love me so much, you just behaved well." ”

Gu Nian wiped the saliva he licked everywhere, "Are you a dog?" ”

She really doesn't want to get involved with the four princes and his wife anymore, but she will definitely have more opportunities to meet in the future, especially the four princesses, who will definitely meet when she enters the palace on the fifteenth day of the first day of every month.

These two people are like madmen, imposing their own assumptions on others, as if all of them are just as filthy as they are.

After returning to the Jin Palace, Xiao Yue met the housekeeper in the house at the door, and he had something to report, so Gu Nian asked him to go to the study, and he went to the main courtyard to ask Concubine Ji for peace.

Concubine Ji sat there with a cold expression, this appearance was very similar to Xiao Yue's cold appearance.

Gu Nian had to sigh, although the relationship between the mother and son was bad, sometimes it was quite similar, and the blood relationship between mother and son could not be erased.

There was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting beside Concubine Ji, quiet and dignified.

Gu Nian saluted Concubine Ji, only to see Concubine Ji say 'um', and did not let the two sit down, but pointed to the girl on the side and said,

"This is my niece, named Yu'er, who has been with me in the palace for many years, you can meet her."

Ji Yu stood up first and smiled lightly, "Cousin-in-law." ”

Gu Nian nodded with a smile, "Miss Ji." ”

When Concubine Ji heard this, she frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Gu Nian for not calling Ji Yu her cousin.

"Yesterday, I recognized that Yu'er was not there, so I didn't introduce her to you, since I came today, you have to get along well in the future."

"You've just come at the right time, I have a little thing to tell you here."

"You are now the princess of Jin, you will definitely go to the banquet everywhere in the future, and the mansions that will go to the banquet will be all dignitaries in the capital, your cousin followed me as a widow, and she can't go anywhere, she is very strange to the capital, you are a sister-in-law, you will have to take care of her more in the future."

Gu Nian smiled and glanced at the respectful Ji Yu on the side.

When Concubine Ji saw her smile, she thought she had answered, and said, "You and Yu'er want to love each other, speaking of which, Yu'er is still a year older than you, you should call her sister." ”

"In the past, Ah Yue lived in the palace, and only Yu'er accompanied me, and in the future, you and I will be relieved to see it, and you can go to see your father."

Gu Nian lowered his eyes and listened to what Concubine Ji said, until Concubine Ji said,

"Yu'er, give your sister-in-law a cup of tea."

As he spoke, he brought a cup of tea.

Gu Nian watched the next person bring the tea cup and chuckled.

When Concubine Ji ran to her grandmother and asked her to go to the emperor to withdraw from the marriage, she felt that Concubine Ji was unreliable, and she didn't think it would be so unreliable.

She smiled and didn't say anything, seeing that Ji Yu didn't move with the cup of tea.

Concubine Ji said, "Go ahead, bring the tea to your sister-in-law, and you will be a good sister in the future." ”

Gu Nian said, "Mother, if Miss Ji is a cousin, then she doesn't need to give me tea, she also does something sorry for me, and she doesn't need to give me tea to make amends." ”

"I don't know, what reason did my mother use to let Miss Ji serve tea?"

Concubine Ji frowned, but she still said gently, "Give you tea, you will accept it, what do you do when you ask so much?" She's a cousin, and you should have given her tea. ”

The corners of Gu Nian's lips were still smiling, "This cup of tea, what is the reason, then I have to make it clear, if it is aunt tea, then I can't stand it." ”

"Also, I give her tea? She is not my elder, nor is she a member of the Xiao family, and her daughter-in-law has no reason to give her tea. ”

Concubine Ji wanted to have a seizure when she heard that she said 'Aunt Tea', but after Ji Yu vaguely pulled the hem of her clothes, she endured her anger and said, "My words, you only listen to half a sentence, just because it is inappropriate, so let Yu'er give you tea, why, this is not good?" ”

Gu Nian said, "Didn't my daughter-in-law ask what kind of tea it was?" Serving me tea and giving me tea are not the same. If you are a person who has come before, you must know that the meaning of tea ceremony is different. ”

Concubine Ji pursed her lips, Ji Yu stepped forward and said, "Auntie, it's just a cup of tea, and I, as a younger sister, will also serve it to my cousin-in-law, since my sister-in-law doesn't want to drink tea now, then forget it, don't make you unhappy for me." ”

After speaking, he asked his subordinates to pour Gu Nian a cup of tea, "Cousin-in-law, my aunt is just joking, don't take it seriously, if you want to blame me, it's me who makes you unhappy." ”

It means that she should not make Concubine Ji angry for such a sentence.

Gu Nian didn't answer her words.

Someone found herself to go down the stairs, and Concubine Ji naturally went down immediately, she sighed, "You are still sensible, unlike some people, who have only entered the door on the third day, and they are so disobedient." ”

"There's nothing to say, in the future, I just hope that you will spread the branches and leaves of the palace as soon as possible."

After that, Concubine Ji waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, let's go back if there's nothing to do." In the future, you only need to come over once a month on the 15th day of the new month. ”

"By the way, in the past, Yue'er didn't want anyone to wait, and now you can't be shabby when you marry into the palace, so I called a few people over to call you in the afternoon."
