Gu Nian thought of the things that King Ping had done, and she wished that King Ping was in front of her at this moment, and he would probably cut him with a thousand knives, even so, it couldn't eliminate the anger in her heart.

She made people stare at Gu Ci's maid, but she didn't expect such an inside story to be involved.

Dark Thirteen was still reporting outside, "Princess, that maid knocked me out and arrested her, and now she is locked up in the firewood room, when are you going to try her, princess?" ”

Gu Nian was not prepared to go to the trial immediately, and was also prepared to lock up the maid for two days, scare and scare her, and then go to see her later, it would probably be easier to ask questions.

She didn't let go of Gu Ci's maid, and naturally she wouldn't let go of King Ping, she turned around and asked Astragalus, "How is the Women's Shan Tang doing?" ”

Astragalus pursed her lips and smiled, "It's good to listen to the steward come back and report it." ”

"Have anyone picked up the children brought by those women recently?"

"No, except for the five princes and King Heping, who led some of them, and after being rejected by the princess for the first time, they never came."

"However, the children who took it away, there is no shadow of them...... "Astragalus replied.

Gu Nian's heart moved when she heard this, the last time the fifth prince came to ask for someone, she felt very strange, and later because of Xiao Yue's matter, she didn't pay attention to it.

She couldn't sit still at all, and began to walk around the room to calm down.

When the nurse routinely brought her son over, Gu Nian found that he had been wandering around the house for half an hour.

Gu Nian took over his son and saw that he was half-asleep with squinting eyes, but because he was hugged by another person, he immediately opened his eyes wide.

His cute appearance finally made Gu Nian laugh and kiss him.

She put down the things in her heart, hugged him to the kang near the window, and sat next to her, teasing, thinking about the previous things, but there was no rule in her heart, until the maid came and Xiao Yue came back.

Gu Nian's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly looked up, and soon saw that the curtain was raised by the little girl, and Xiao Yue walked in in a moon-white brocade robe.

When Xiao Yue came in, he saw Gu Nian holding his son, and stepped forward to take a look, during this time, Gu Nian would hug him for a while every day, and he couldn't wait to take care of it himself.

As soon as he came back, he had to face Xu'er, but in the past, Gu Nian put all her body and mind on the child, but today, she looked at herself with an inexplicable look of expectation.

Xiao Yue's heart moved slightly, but his face did not show half a point, Shi Shiran took the prepared clothes into the clean room to wash, and after coming out, he changed into a loose straight jacket and came out, and sat next to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian saw that the child was about to fall asleep with squinted eyes, patted his body gently, and waited until he fell asleep before letting the nurse hold the child down.

As soon as the child left, Gu Nian rubbed to Xiao Yue's side and looked at him hesitantly.

"What's wrong? But what's the matter? Xiao Yue took her hand and looked at her with a frown, it was rare to see her so hesitant, she couldn't help but think a little more, and her heart was a little dark.

However, his face was still amiable, "No matter what, even if the sky falls, there is still me staring, you don't have to worry." ”

Gu Nian was made to cry and laugh by him, shook his head, and his original not very good mood was also soothed by him.

She pounced, Xiao Yue was almost thrown on the kang by her, and hurriedly pinched her waist with her hand, afraid that she would sleep.

He looked at Gu Nian's face carefully and said, "What's the matter, you can tell me." ”

Gu Nian brewed his emotions, so he went out to investigate today's dark thirteen, and then found out about the Ping Wangfu and told him.

"I didn't expect King Ping, it's not a person, even if those women are greedy for wealth and wealth, they are accepted into the mansion by him, they don't like it, they get tired of it, they abandon it, not to mention letting them out of the house, that can also let them fend for themselves, but they are regarded as people who are worse than the flower girls of the Qinglou, which is too ......"

Gu Nian said indignantly, "That huge palace is simply a dirty green building, except for Princess Ping, from the side concubines to the concubines, as well as King Ping's room......

Fortunately, Princess Ping was not sold by him, and even if he still knows a little face, he is an old bustard, and he brought so many green hats to himself......"

The more Gu Nian spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he didn't know what words to use to scold King Ping.

"I must let King Ping fall into disrepute, I can't wait for the Dragon Boat Festival, I want to ...... immediately"

Xiao Yue looked at Gu Nian quietly, this kind of Gu Nian really made him love, happy and afraid, he remembered the last time he said about the woman chewing the root of her tongue.

Thinking of her indignant appearance, when Xiao Yue looked at her again, his eyes couldn't help but have some strangeness.

She is different from today's women, and she can know from the few words she inadvertently revealed, although Nian Nian has been trying very hard to control it.

However, as smart as he is, he can know her difference just by those clues, but he has always pretended not to discover her secret.

At that moment, Xiao Yue immediately said, "I actually know something about this matter, but it's not as specific as you checked." It seems that it is right to give you thirteen.

How to do this, let me think about it, you don't have to worry, just leave it to me. ”

Gu Nian shook his head, "No, I must participate." ”

Xiao Yue's heart was really indescribable, he said, "I must let you participate, and in the end, King Ping will let you solve it, but on the fourth day of the fifth month of the Dragon Boat Festival, today is the second day of the first month, so you can wait for another day." Besides, it's late today. ”

Xiao Yue has always been very fond of Gu Nian, and he hates to raise her to the kind of silk flower that only relies on herself.

But Gu Nian is not that kind of person at all.

Gu Nian said, "Do you remember the last time the Five Princes and King Peace came to Shantang to buy children?" ”

"Remember, if there is no me, how can that Xu Dao person successfully infiltrate the Five Princes' Mansion, if there is no me, the Xu family will not be able to recommend this person to the fifth prince."

He chuckled and said, "Those thoughts of the fifth child are not fueled by this Xu Daoren, I just pushed the boat down the river, and everything will naturally fall into place." ”

Gu Nian was stunned for a while, and then sighed, "Xu Daoren is a child of the Fourth Prince's Princess's family, and it is your plan to enter the Fifth Prince's Mansion smoothly, and no one knows about it on the surface."

However, what does this King of Peace have to do with it? ”

Xiao Yue said, "The fifth prince not only led people to Shantang on our side, but also found someone to buy some children, and some of them were given to King Ping. ”

He didn't say any more, he didn't say it, and Gu Nian understood.

"The fifth prince is gone, what about Xu Daoren now? And those children......" Gu Nian frowned and asked Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue kissed her fingers and chuckled, "It's all in King Ping's hands now." ”

Gu Nian was a little speechless and glanced at him silently.

In late April, Emperor Yongping made a decree that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he would have fun with the people.

Not only did he want to watch the dragon boat race, but he also asked the Praetorian Guards and various battalions to help, and when the time came, the dragon boat race.

Those who win will naturally be richly rewarded.

The Queen Mother has just moved to the palace, and on such a day, there is naturally a royal history that does not look at the eyes, saying that since the emperor wants to have fun with the people, it is better to invite the Queen Mother into the city and enjoy it with the people.

However, as soon as these words came out, they were refuted by Emperor Yongping, what he meant was that the Queen Mother was going to pray for the people, for the good of the people, and she had just gone out, so she was invited back, which did not show her sincerity at all.

Emperor Yongping did not allow it, so the Queen Mother naturally couldn't come back.

In the palace in the suburbs, the Queen Mother stood on the high attic and looked into the distance, and listened to the words of the old palace people, and trembled with anger, "It's really the opposite." ”

"The mourning family is his mother-in-law, and he actually imprisoned me here like a dog, this country, no matter who sits on it, is the Lin family's country."

She looked at the palace that she couldn't see at all, and she still remembered that there were big hibiscus flowers in the apse of Yongfu Palace, the bricks and tiles on it, and the carved buildings and paintings, the gold diamonds inlaid with each piece, and a gold diamond alone was worth two taels of silver.

This is the Yongfu Palace that Emperor Yongping helped her repair after he ascended the throne, and it was the only time that Emperor Yongping was kind to her.

She can live in that place, she can be empty forever, but no one else can live in it!

Who knows which slut will live in this palace when she grows old?

She must go back, even if she can't live in it, she will burn Yongfu Palace on fire.

The Queen Mother gasped in place with hatred on her face, suddenly raised her head and stared firmly at the old palace people, "Tell him that he won't move on a good day like the Dragon Boat Festival, so when will he move?" ”

The old palace people were stunned for a moment, retreated, and left the queen mother standing alone on the tall building.

People are not as good as heaven, Xiao Yue wanted to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival to expose King Ping's ugly face in front of the ministers.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the twenty-second year of Chengping, before dawn, Xiao Yue got up to attend the court meeting, and Gu Nian sat on the bed to watch him get dressed.

Xiao Yue straightened his clothes, looked back at Gu Nian with a smile, walked to the bed, squatted down, and looked at Gu Nian with warm eyes.

"Tomorrow is an extremely important day for us, although you are a woman, I have never treated you like an ordinary woman."

"Tomorrow there is a very important thing for us to complete together, you also know that King Ping, who has been hidden for more than ten or twenty years, must be scheming.

Don't rush now, don't panic, listen to me slowly, okay? ”

Gu Nian restrained her smile, sat down, and looked at her husband who was squatting in front of the bed.

This feeling is particularly good for Gu Nian, she is not a woman who only sticks to the inner house.

The day has not yet dawned.

The old eagle kept croaking on the flagpole of the castle tower, and when he heard someone coming, he flapped his wings and flew away.

Xiao Yue rode on the horse and stared coldly at the old eagle that flew away.

When he arrived at the main hall of the court, the other courtiers had not yet arrived, he stood on the road, and a eunuch ran out of breath, and before he ran closer, he shouted loudly, "Your Majesty summons the King of Jin to meet you." ”

Xiao Yue suddenly looked at it, since Emperor Yongping confessed to him, except for the day when he was in the Jin Palace, he had never been in front of people like this, and he had been summoned alone.

He paused, then strode in.

When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, he walked to the front of the Imperial Case of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and stopped there, his figure motionless.

Emperor Yongping was sitting precariously, looking Xiao Yue up and down, and finally slowly raised his gaze and stared at the two glances he cast, "What?" See you every day, the rules are still so loose? ”

Xiao Yue slowly knelt down and bowed to the emperor in front of him, "Xiao Yue knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live." ”

Word by word, as from the deepest part of the chest cavity.

Emperor Yongping said lightly, "Let's be flat." ”

"Today, I called you here to tell you that you sent Xiao Xi to me to raise you."

Xiao Yue stared at Emperor Yongping with an indifferent expression, his eyes gradually condensed with forbearance of anger, gritted his teeth and said, "You also know that his surname is Xiao!" It's my son.

I wouldn't agree. ”

He paused and said, "Besides, Xu'er, he will inherit the mantle of King Su in the future, and he will follow his father-in-law's surname." Didn't Your Majesty already know about this? He also gave his father-in-law the will to canonize the son-in-law? ”

There was silence in the hall, except for the ambergris in the incense burner in the corner.

"It's okay if you don't recognize me as your father, I have no intention of forcing you anymore. You leave Xu'er to me, and from now on, I will be just a monarch and a minister! ”

Emperor Yongping said coldly.

"What if I shouldn't?" Xiao Yue's voice was cold and gloomy.

Emperor Yongping's face tightened, "I know that you are born rebellious, without a king and without a father, but there is one thing, Xiao Yue, you probably don't know yet." ”

Emperor Yongping sat up straighter and straighter, and said word by word, "Someone sent a secret letter to me, saying that your father-in-law, he found the last elite of King Su back then." ”

"Did he tell you that? Do you know his intentions? ”

Xiao Yue's eyes froze.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Yongping smiled, "You are surprised? ”

"Although I don't know who the person who passed on this secret letter is, I know that it must be true, and I have never told you that the elite battalion of King Su has lost its trace after King Su's death."

"I swear by the fortunes of the country, I let your father-in-law go, let him go overseas, as long as he and that elite team, in their lifetime, will not set foot on the east and leave the country, from now on, I will never embarrass him for half a point."

"I take a step back, I want you to take a step back from me, Xu'er changed his surname to Lin, but not your father-in-law's Lin, he will be the next emperor of my east."

"As long as you agree, I will let the crown prince and his descendants leave, as well as your father-in-law."

"If you don't, I'll kill the prince, your father-in-law! Never again. I have appointed someone else as the Prince! ”

The figure of Emperor Yongping is heavy and cold.

Echoing around the Temple of Nourishing Hearts.

Xiao Yue's ten fingers clenched into fists, directly touching and gurgling.

"This world is my world, and whoever I want to give it to is whomever it is. What's more, now, I am handing over the world to my grandson, and it is only right! ”

This sentence is justified, in front of Xiao Yue, he also said it once, that time, he said 'pass it on to his son, it is justified', this time, he retreated to pass it on to his grandson.

Xiao Yue raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yongping, his eyes were scarlet, he gritted his teeth, and walked towards the emperor step by step.

Emperor Yongping sat behind the imperial case, motionless, and sneered, "Could it be that you want to kill the king?" ”

He got up, walked to the wall behind him, pulled out a Longquan sword hanging on the wall, looked at it in his hand, and then threw the sword out,

"This sword was left over from Emperor Taizu when he fought the world, if you have the courage to kill me and make the world chaotic, then you will kill it!

If you don't have the guts, then kneel down for me! Tell me, a father! ”

Xiao Yue held the hilt of the sword in one hand and the tip of the sword in the other, his eyes staring at Emperor Yongping deadly, like a big stone, standing there.

For a long time, for a long time, the silver sword body, between his hands, slowly bent up, like a rainbow.

Suddenly, with a piercing sonorous sound, the sword body was broken in two.

Blood snaked down from the palm of Xiao Yue's hand, dripping onto the ground, dripping and dripping, forming a piercing red at his feet.

"You are to the people, you are for Mingjun, but in my life, what I hate the most is that I have your blood in my body."

"You are in Jiangshan, you are a Ming monarch, but you have the eldest son, the prince, the prince, my Xiao family's son, disdain this lonely imperial road."

"My father has been sleeping in the northern Xinjiang, he is Xiao Yi, the king of Jin who stands up to the sky, this is the last time I will tell you."

"Nowadays, facing inside and out, internal and external troubles, but what kind of ridiculous things do you think?"

He let go of his hands, and with a 'bang', the hilt and blade of the sword fell to the ground.

Xiao Yue turned around and walked out.

Emperor Yongping's two lines of sight, from the pool of blood on the ground, slowly raised the complaint and landed on Xiao Yue's back.

His hands trembled and his face turned blue, and suddenly, he stood up.

"Stop! You unfilial rebel! ”

With a 'boom', the imperial case in front of him was overturned by him to the ground.

"It's okay if you don't recognize me, I want to pass this country to my grandson, and you also want to rebel with me? Okay, good, good, you go......"

Xiao Yue stood sideways in the hall, his face was pale, he didn't say a word, he had a sneer on his face, and on the palm of his left hand, drop by drop, he kept bleeding bright red blood.

Emperor Yongping stood behind the overturned imperial case, glared at Xiao Yue angrily, gasping for breath.

"Emperor, the mourning family doesn't know, where do you still have a rebellious rebel?" A female voice came from under the door of the apse.

It turned out to be the queen mother who had moved to the palace.

After not seeing her for many days, her face was a little pale, her figure had also lost a lot, and when she heard Emperor Yongping's voice, there was a hint of surprise on her face.

With the voice of the Queen Mother, the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall was opened, and outside, there was a crowd of people, and hundreds of officials lined up.

King Ping was the leader, and his eyes were focused on the two people in the hall.

King Ping was the first to step into the palace, and Lang Lang said,

"The minister thinks that although Your Majesty is diligent, but the people of the world have not had a good life, from the pro-conquest more than ten years ago, to the floods and locusts in various places, this is all a warning from God."

"The ministers and others will not advise today, as long as the imperial brother comes down from that position and is in charge of the court."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately boiled, "The ministers seconded the proposal, and the ministers seconded the proposal." ”

However, there are also those who defend Emperor Yongping, saying that natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, and which dynasty and which generation have not had floods and pests?

Emperor Yongping stood on it, his face was still indifferent, staring closely at the silver armor cloak, standing at the door of the main hall, looking at his King Ping with gloomy eyes.

He withdrew his gaze from King Ping's face, and then looked at the hundred officials outside the hall.

At this moment, King Ping seems to be in control of the overall situation, as if he can step down in three moments.

In this world, he is still surnamed Lin, but he will die.

King Ping, in the eyes of Emperor Yongping, is just a showman.

He never thought that King Ping would rebel so quickly, and the timing would be so accurate.

He remembered the oath he had made in front of the old lady that he would definitely protect Xiao Yue and be thorough, but today, he was actually shut down and beaten by someone.

The Queen Mother asked the old palace people to move a chair over, sat firmly in the hall, and looked at the Yongping Emperor at the top of the mouth and hooked the corners of her lips.

King Ping took off the silver armor outside, dressed in white, with wide sleeves, and a pillar sword in both hands, he looked at Emperor Yongping coldly and said with a smile,

"It's all your blood, but you see, one is a treasure, and the others are grass, from the prince to the five princes, which one has a good end?

Poor prince, trembling, it is not as happy as ordinary people, such a day, if you want me to say, it is better to die quickly. ”

Emperor Yongping sneered, "They are my children, what do I want to do to them, it's my family matter, what do you have to do?"

You have been taught by the first emperor since you were a child, but you didn't expect that if you don't say that you are grateful to his son, your brother, you will force the palace to kill the emperor, there is a kind, you will come up and kill me with a sword now.

It's just that even if you kill me, you still have the prince. It's not your turn to be a traitor. ”

King Ping stretched his sleeves, and the marble brick floor was cold and dust-free, like a saint, "Brother Huang, we are good brothers, I don't play mutiny, you cut yourself, I'll give you a quarter of an hour, you write the will of the Zen position, I'll wait for you to cut yourself, how about it?" ”

If it is really self-judged, then what kind of emperor is it? It will be recorded in the history books as stinky shit.

Emperor Yongping remained motionless, looking up at the sky that was lit up outside, the sun had broken through the clouds and shone on the earth.

He looked at Xiao Yue, who was still standing there, his hands hanging down at his side, blood staining his court clothes.

The original terrifying cyan on Emperor Yongping's face faded, his face turned pale, and the whole person seemed to have lost his strength, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair.

Looking back on his life of almost fifty years, it can be described as ups and downs, he was also young and frivolous, and he also had various ambitions.

He thought that when the man offered to replace him, he didn't even think about it, so he agreed.

But in this life, he has always had a sense of guilt in his heart, and the place where it came from was Yun Niang.

As long as I think of her, I think that because of my recklessness for a while, she did such a thing, and she gave her life to death.

He couldn't go to see Yun Niang, he regarded life as an atonement for his sins, a journey of penance, hoping to wash away some sins.

He thought of the prince, Xiao Yue, and Gu Shi'an, today, if there is anyone who can break this difficult situation, they are probably the only ones.

He smiled sarcastically, he was thinking about killing them a moment ago, but now, he was expecting them to save his life.

The Queen Mother stood up, slowly walked in front of Emperor Yongping step by step, and said softly, "Are you my son?" ”

Emperor Yongping smiled silently, "Queen Mother, what do you say?" ”

Seeing Emperor Yongping's pale face, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and sneered, "You're not." ”

Her face turned cold, turned around, looked at the ministers outside, and said loudly, "The mourning family has mourned for the two emperors, and the mourning family only has one child, the emperor, but since more than ten years ago, the mourning family has suspected that this is not the emperor of the mourning family." ”

Her face turned to Emperor Yongping, "Say, where are you a lonely ghost?" Dare to pretend to be the emperor of the mourning family? ”

"Xu Daoren? Why don't you use your skills to take this demon away? ”

Yongping said in a trembling voice, "Queen Mother, I asked you to go to the palace to repent, but you will not repent, you must be reconciled to the peace of the king, and the world will be unpeaceful?" ”

"Have you ever thought that if you continue to make trouble like this, our mother and son will be ruined and ruined together?"

In front of the ministers, the Queen Mother spoke softly, "The emperor of the mourning family is gone, what else is there to be afraid of in the mourning family?" ”

Emperor Yongping suddenly sneered and said, "Today, since everyone is here, then, I am not afraid of being embarrassed, so I simply let everyone know about ......"

"Where is the emperor, where is the king of Jin?" Outside the hall, a woman walked in from outside the gate of the self-cultivation hall, and slowly swept past the ministers, her tone was not hurried, but everyone could hear it.

All the officials turned around and came to see Gu Nian.

Gu Nian slowly, until he was about to walk to where Xiao Yue was, "Lord Wang! She exclaimed, quickly ran to Xiao Yue's side, grabbed his bleeding hand, and saw that the palm of her hand had been cut horizontally with a wound that was almost bone-deep, and the blood was still gushing out.

She left and pulled out the handkerchief she had with her, wrapping the wound on her palm tightly to stop the bleeding.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid." Xiao Yue said slowly, and the uninjured hand gently touched Gu Nian's shoulder.

Gu Nian didn't say a word, pushed him away, and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask, under what circumstances can the country abolish the queen mother and demote her to a concubine?"

Above the court, the emperor's brother took the lead, and the ministers made a difficulty, originally to oust the emperor from power, but unexpectedly, a woman came out, and she actually wanted to abolish the queen mother.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, no one spoke.

King Ping pointed with his long sword, "Just a woman, enter the palace, roar the court, come here, drag down and cut down for this king." ”
