The excerpt of the impeachment of Xiao Yue and Gu Shi'an was placed on the imperial case, and Emperor Yongping stared at the table, with no joy or anger on his face.

For so many years, the court has slowly calmed down, but I didn't expect that this time, such a concerted effort was for these two people.

Although Gu Shi'an's identity has been embarrassing, he is indeed a talent, Jin Yiwei is back in his hands, he takes care of it very well, and his mentality is very good, he is worthy of being the person he liked back then.

As for Xiao Yue, although his temperament has been criticized by many people, his vision and insight, under his subtle influence for more than ten years, are no worse than any prince.

In this impeachment incident, there is the shadow of the fourth prince behind him, which is expected by him, and it is impossible for the fourth prince to remain quiet, but he did not expect that there would be Yasukuni Gong behind to push it.

Although he didn't want the crown prince to inherit the throne, he never thought of his life, otherwise, why would he have to wait until today?

The prince has been weak since he was a child, and there are many ways to let him die.

After all, he is the descendant of that person, the bloodline inheritance of that person, and the child he has seen growing up since he was a child, and his feelings for the prince are no less than Xiao Yue.

But these people dared to move their crooked thoughts to the prince one by one.

This doesn't take him as an emperor in his eyes at all, and treats him as a fool!

With this in mind, he can't easily conclude this matter.

He looked at the folds and instructed his father-in-law, "Take them out and burn them." ”

Father-in-law Yu stood silently on the side for a long time, and when he saw that the emperor seemed to have made up his mind, he stepped forward to accept all the folds.

*

The turmoil in the court, Gu Nian did not take it to heart. In addition to taking care of the palace feed, the old lady did not restrain her, she often went back to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion to accompany the princess to talk, and teased Zhou Yuyan's child Chen'er.

After all, the assassination of the Four Princes' Mansion was known by the Protector Princess, in fact, where can it really be hidden? When the princess waited until she went again next time, she glared at her,

"You have a big heart, such a big thing is hidden from me with your cousin, it's okay, if something really happens, you let your grandmother not live?"

Gu Nian shrunk her shoulders and let her stare at her, and when she said she was tired, she stepped forward and shook her arm to coax her.

In the evening, Xiao Yue came to pick up Gu Nian and returned home, saw Gu Nian's love for Chen'er, leaned on the carriage, and said, "You like children so much, let's give birth to ourselves." ”

This is the first time the two have talked about children. Speaking of shame, for a while, Gu Nian thought that according to Xiao Yue's temperament, he would definitely not like children.

Because his childhood was so unfortunate, his temperament was like that.

Today, Xiao Yue mentioned the child, but he was in a very peaceful state, and Gu Nian couldn't help but feel ashamed that he didn't know him well enough.

Perhaps, it is precisely because Xiao Yue was unhappy in his childhood that he wants to transfer his love to his children.

Seeing that Gu Nian was silent, Xiao Yue pinched Gu Nian's face and said, "Don't worry, I said that you are the only one, and you are the only one, and you will never eat indiscriminately when you are pregnant with a child." Besides, we still have a lot of knowledge that we haven't put into practice. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yue said crookedly, Gu Nian thought of the books that were still pressed under the pillow now, his cheeks couldn't help but turn crimson, and he gave Xiao Yue a roll of his eyes, Xiao Yue saw this, and said in a low voice,

"It's best to give birth to a girl like you, I will raise her like my father-in-law treats you, we will take care of her to grow up, and then find a good family for her, and marry her in style, her husband must be as good to her as I am to you."

Xiao Yue held Gu Nian's hand, his face full of yearning, "I really want to have such an experience, with a beloved wife and a well-behaved child, we will grow old together, and the child will grow up slowly, so that she will not experience the shortcomings I have experienced...... You tell me? ”

Gu Nian felt deeply guilty in her heart, she wrapped her hands around Xiao Yue's hands, and nodded with a little sour eyes.

She will definitely bear many children for him, just ...... She blinked, why did Xiao Yue only think about her daughter......

"Don't you like boys? You see Chen'er is very good, white and tender, very cute. Gu Nian told Xiao Yue the questions in his heart.

Xiao Yue's fingers unconsciously rubbed Gu Nian's hand, looked at Gu Nian deeply, his eyes were a little resentful, and he said, "You forgot, the first son, we are going to send it to my father-in-law." ”

Gu Shi'an refused to continue the string no matter what, and even when the emperor said that he wanted to give marriage, he politely refused.

At the beginning, Gu Shi'an was able to agree to Xiao Yue to marry Gu Nian so easily, because the two reached an agreement, the first son born to Xiao Yue and Gu Nian was to be sent to Gu Shi'an to be raised, and at the same time followed Gu Shi'an's surname.

At the beginning, Xiao Yue entered the door in order to marry Gu Nian, so he naturally agreed to everything, but now when it is really time to have a child, he doesn't care whose surname the child is, after all, it is his own child, but he is unwilling to send his child to Gu Shi'an.

Gu Nian didn't know the agreement reached by Weng and his son-in-law at first, but later Gu Shi'an said it out, and then she knew that at this moment, she only felt that Xiao Yue had never been cute.

It turned out that he also had a childish side, the resentful little eyes, and the slightly pouting mouth, so that Gu Nian couldn't help but go up and kiss him heavily on the cheek, and then said with a smile,

"Where will I always have a daughter?"

Xiao Yue looked at her resentfully and muttered, "I can't tell." ”

It is often said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and is more satisfied, while the two Weng and her son-in-law are tired of each other, Gu Shi'an and Xiao Yue take the two of them to the extreme.

Both of them are strong people, a woman who loves her heartheart, and wants to make up for the missing ten years, not to mention, she hasn't spoiled enough, her white and tender, delicate and soft daughter is going to wait for another stinky man, even if this stinky man is a son-in-law.

One is that he can't wait to hide his wife from being seen, his father-in-law is a father, and he is also a foreign man, so he can't get close to his wife.

In this way, as soon as the two met, they didn't have a good face.

Gu Nian couldn't stop laughing when she thought of the scene every time the two met, she leaned on Xiao Yue's shoulder, and said, "How can we call the shots when we have children, just let it be, you also think about your father, he has been gone since his mother, he has been wandering alone for so many years, and finally came back, I am married again, and you and I can't visit him often." ”

"He lives alone in the huge palace, although there is a maid and a wife waiting, it is better than the greetings of relatives, if there is really a child by his side, he can be happy."

"Besides, where is the father really willing to let the child leave us, when the time comes, if you want to keep the child by your side, he will definitely not object."

Actually, Xiao Yue didn't understand what Gu Nian meant, but when he saw that his daughter-in-law was looking forward to sending her son out in order to make her father-in-law happy, he felt depressed and sour, and he said quietly, "Aren't you distressed to send your son out?" ”

Gu Nian grabbed Xiao Yue's face with both hands, turned his face over, and said coquettishly, "What do you mean to send out?" It's my dad who helps take care of it, and it's no one else, this is my child, and my dad must take care of it like a grandson, but don't forget, this is what you promised...... A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. ”

Xiao Yue just felt very aggrieved, seeing Gu Nian's appearance of maintaining Gu Shi'an, her heart was even more jealous, she not only pretended to be Gu Shi'an in her heart, but even the eldest princess of the country was talking non-stop.

Not only do you have to compete for favor with your future children, but also with your father-in-law and grandmother.

"My father-in-law is in the prime of life, he is very busy every day, he sends the child over, where can he take care of it, if he really gives birth to a son, we still raise it ourselves, let him be fine, just come and see."

Gu Nian glared at Xiao Yue, this person was simply a rogue king, she reminded again, "You promised your father yourself, but you can't complain about others." ”

Xiao Yue touched the skin that had been pinched by her, and touched his nose again, wasn't he afraid that Gu Shi'an would not marry his daughter, he was reluctant to make his daughter-in-law angry, but he thought in his heart that he must have more daughters, and his own branch can be inherited from the second and third uncles, otherwise, he can also let his daughter recruit money.

For a while, His Royal Highness the King of Jin had a lot in his mind, for example, he must urge the second uncle, and the third uncle must teach his children and grandchildren well, and he will not have to worry about his succession in the future.

For another example, is it possible to be optimistic about others now, urge them to teach their children and grandchildren well, and marry their daughters in the future, and be happy......

It can only be said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has thought too much, and now that the seeds of the child have not been planted, how can they take root and sprout?

Xiao Yue took Gu Nian into his arms, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a dumb voice, "Something without conscience." ”

Gu Nian smiled and reached out to wrap his arms around his neck, leaned up to kiss his lips, and said gently, "That's also caused by you, Lord Jin." ”

Xiao Yue lowered his head and touched her soft lips, and then couldn't help but go deeper......

When the two parted breathlessly, he suddenly said domineeringly, "Don't touch anyone else casually in the future." In the future, the child is not allowed to be hugged when he is older, and your father ......"

Gu Nian only felt that this man was simply a child, and she said, "That's my father'......"

"He's also a man......" Xiao Yue said solemnly, in the past, the father and daughter were vaguely separated, but today is the first time to say it, in fact, he wants a daughter because he has seen too much of Gu Shi'an and Gu Nian's relationship.

He often lamented that the relationship between father and daughter was so warm, so he longed for it

Xiao Yue and Gu Nian's plan to have a child has not yet been achieved, Xiao Yue has not returned home since he went to court this day, and when the time has passed, Xiao Yue still has not returned.

Since getting married, Xiao Yue will come back no matter how late it is, and occasionally socialize, so he will definitely let Dark Yi come back to deliver a letter, so that Gu Nian can rest assured.

I have been married for so long, and I have never returned home after a long time.

She was a little uneasy in her heart, and called Astragalus in, "Has Dark One ever come back today to spread the word?" ”

Huang Qi shook his head, "No, princess, why don't I go to the front yard and ask Lord Changshi, as well as the concierge, when the prince went out, did he leave any words." ”

Gu Nian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

She leaned on the couch, and suddenly stopped Astragalus again, "Take two purses with silver bills out, if the chief historian doesn't know, then let him send someone to go out with the silver money to inquire, there are always people in the yamen who are on duty at night, if the prince has entertainment, those men should know." ”

After speaking, he paused, and said, "Don't let the old lady know about it first, so that her old man will know, and then follow the trouble, wait until dawn to see." ”

Astragalus hurriedly responded, took the purse and went out.

After Astragalus went out, she was afraid that Gu Nian was thinking too much, so she woke up Qingye, who had not been on duty, and asked her to get up and talk to Gu Nian.

Qingye went to the main house, and Mama Qin was already in the house to comfort Gu Nian, "The prince was probably temporarily dragged to socialize, and there was no way to get out for a while, the officials who were on errands were like this, the princess should not worry too much, the slave maid said something that he didn't like, as far as the prince's temperament, who dared to do anything to him?" ”

"Besides, the prince is not unscrupulous, maybe he will come back later."

Gu Nian frowned and shook his head, "He seems to be violent, but in fact, he is cautious and prudent inside, if there is something temporary, he will definitely let people come back to report the news, there is no news like this, it is not his style, I am afraid that he will be calculated......"

The last assassination incident in the Four Princes' Mansion has not yet been conclusive, and even his father is in charge of Jinyiwei, but he has not been able to find out who is behind the scenes.

At this time, she was afraid that the person in the dark would come to Xiao Yue again.

She is not afraid that he will encounter the Peach Blossom Tribulation, but she is afraid that others are secretly plotting to calculate his life, Xiao Yue is in the way of many people's eyes, and how many people's future has been blocked.

The more she thought about it, the more restless she felt, and she only felt her heart beating like thunder.

Gu Nian felt that none of them were so difficult that he couldn't breathe, and finally, about an hour later, Astragalus came in with the chief historian to report, "Princess, the little one sent someone to the yamen to ask the door on duty at night, saying that the prince left early, and the little one also sent someone to take the token given by the prince and went to the palace gate." ”

"The subordinates were afraid that the prince would be summoned into the palace by the emperor, so they didn't have time to come out, but the royal forest army guarding the door also said that the prince left early."

The chief historian was also very anxious, as soon as there was news, he hurriedly came over to report, and at this moment he was still a little panting when he spoke, he continued, "My subordinates have also sent people to various palaces to see which one has a banquet, but there is none. ”

Gu Nian tried her best to calm herself down, she couldn't be chaotic at the moment, and if she was chaotic, it would be even more chaotic.

She thought for a while and said, "Zhang Changshi, please send someone to Suwang's Mansion to ask if my father is in the mansion." She was afraid that this time it would be the same as what happened to her father last time, and she was suddenly locked up by the emperor and then sent to do secret things.

Grandmother's side couldn't be alarmed, she thought that Zhou Yuxuan had returned to Beijing, she bit her lip and went to find Zhou Yuxuan, she would inevitably be known by her grandmother.

The chief historian was ordered to go out to assign tasks, and as soon as he walked to the door, he stopped and turned back, "Niangniang, there is news from a person sent out by his subordinates, do you want to let him come in and report it?" ”

Gu Nian stood up behind the screen, didn't care about avoiding suspicion, walked from behind the screen, walked to the front, and said continuously, "Hurry up...... Fast...... Let him in. ”

I saw a person dressed as a guard come in from outside, bowed down and knelt down, hanging his head and reporting, "My subordinates received an order from Lord Changshi to go to the vicinity of the four princes to listen to the news, and I heard their porter talking about it, saying that the prince was dragged by the four princes to Lanxiangfang to drink. ”

Gu Nian was shocked and said, "The Fourth Prince? ”

The guard said, "It is said that the fourth prince invited several adults to go to the bad luck because of the last assassination......

Lanxiangfang is a famous gold cave in the capital, although it is a flower building, but it is different from the ordinary Goolan Courtyard, mainly for the gathering between dignitaries and nobles, literati and scholars, and the flower girl of Lanxiangfang is the icing on the cake decoration of the banquet, and the art is not sold out.

Of course, if someone takes a fancy to which flower girl, as long as they can afford the silver, they can kiss Fangze.

When Gu Nian heard that it was related to the four princes, he felt that it was not good, although Xiao Yue had a dark one by his side, and there were secret guards to protect him.

But in the end, people are not as good as heaven, not to mention, if the four princes really want to calculate, they can't prevent it.

The fourth prince, in the past, he was really not a good person, at the beginning, wasn't she afraid of him too? That is a stubborn madman who will not compromise the means to achieve his ends, and no matter how much time passes, he will not change.

Gu Nian's face changed and changed, Xiao Yue did not return, which already made her very scared and worried, and now she heard that it was related to the fourth prince, really, now her mind was full of horror.

Seeing that the princess's face became more and more calm, the chief historian also frowned tightly, he had been following Xiao Yue for a long time, and naturally knew Xiao Yue's temperament.

He comforted, "There are many people around the prince, and the fourth prince only said that he wanted to entertain everyone?" ”

Gu Nian didn't think so, the fourth prince released it this time, it looked very low-key, but it was turbulent, and a wave of anger surged in her heart, didn't Emperor Yongping love Xiao Yue?

Knowing that there is an unbreakable knot between Xiao Yue and the four princes, why do you want to release the four princes?

She held Astragalus's hand, tried to stabilize her swaying body, and said to the chief historian, "How many guards are on duty in the palace now?" ”

The chief historian told Gu Nian about the personnel arrangements one by one, and Gu Nian bowed, "You send someone to Lanxiangfang to see if the prince is really there." ”

Maybe this is a trick by the four princes, but it still has to be determined.

Then he said to the chief historian, "You arrange the guards in the palace to be on duty, and before the prince returns, you will be on call at any time, loose inside and tight outside." ”

"If the prince still doesn't come back tonight, then, early tomorrow morning, you will personally go to the Four Princes' Mansion and ask the chief historian of the Four Princes' Mansion whether the Four Princes will come back, and the people who went to Suwangfu to ask have not returned, wait until there is news over there, and then make other arrangements."

The chief historian withdrew with the guards who reported the news, and it was getting late and late, and the midnight sound rang for a long time, and Gu Nian sat there motionless.

The people who went to Suwang's Mansion haven't come back to report the news, and they don't know what happened to their father.

What is going on outside, she is deeply aware at the moment that a woman in the inner house, in addition to being able to manage the inner house, knows nothing about the outside world, and if something happens, she can only make up for it temporarily.

After sitting all night, when the time came, when the fish belly was white on the horizon, Xiao Yue still did not return.

There was no news from the people who went to Lanxiangfang to listen to the news, but the chief historian couldn't bear it, so he went to the chief historian of the Four Princes' Mansion, found out the news, and came back to tell Gu Nian,

"The chief historian of the Four Princes' Mansion said that the Four Princes had never returned to the house, but he sent a message back to the Four Princes, saying that he had made an appointment with someone to go to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs to enjoy the lotus and watch the moon, and he couldn't return home for two days."

It was only because of the reward that the four princes were very big-hearted.

She stood up and said to Astragalus, "Go to the stable, let people set up the car, I want to go to the suburbs." Turning around, she instructed Mama Qin again, "You are at home today, go to the old lady and say that I blew a little cool breeze last night, and I have a little headache, so I can't go over to greet her." ”

"If she asked about the prince, she said that the prince came back late last night, and he had to rush to the morning in the morning, so he didn't go to her to say goodbye."

Xiao Yue occasionally returned home after he settled down, so naturally he couldn't go to the old lady to say goodbye. Saying this did not make the old lady suspicious.

Mama Qin nodded hurriedly, only asking Gu Nian to be careful.

At the same time, Gu Nian also instructed the chief historian that the mansion must take care of it today.

Before dawn, Gu Nian sat in the rickety carriage frowning, his heart was up and down.

Perhaps, she made a bit of a fuss, really speaking, Xiao Yue just didn't return overnight, and the entertainment between men is just a restaurant, a flower building, generally speaking, there will be no family members looking for people, after all, this will make her husband bear the name of 'strict wife'.

Although, Xiao Yue rarely socializes, and once there is entertainment, people will come back to tell him, but no matter how careful people are, they will inevitably have times when they are careless, maybe they forget it for a while.

It's strange that even my father is not in the house, and there is no news from the palace.

At this time, there was nothing that could stop Gu Nian from going to the suburbs to find someone, as if, if she didn't go, she would miss something, there was something in the dark that was guiding her, so that she must go, and a voice in her heart was calling her anxiously, telling her to go, Xiao Yue was there.

Huang Qi saw that Gu Nian was very anxious, and couldn't help but comfort, "Princess, don't worry, the prince is extraordinary, even the dark one is also powerful in martial arts, and there are also shadow guards, so he will not be easily calculated." Moreover, the four princes invited so many people over, and under the head of Aoi Kui, they didn't dare to kill the prince. ”

How can Gu Nian not understand the truth, but if he cares, he is chaotic, if the fourth prince really jumps off the wall in a hurry, who knows what he will do?

*

In the fourth prince's village, Xiao Yue opened his eyes, only to feel a splitting headache, an empty stomach and uncomfortable, he rarely had such a hangover, and he had never been so drunk. He rolled over, as if remembering something, his face changed suddenly, he propped up his elbows and rolled over in an extremely agile way, and shouted,

"Dark One, get in."

Dark One entered the house from outside with a black face and called, "Lord Wang." So he didn't say anything more.

He has been by the prince's side since he was a child, and he has always been cautious, the guards around the prince have come and gone, how many people have changed, and how many people have fallen to the ground, but he has always been able to stay by the prince's side.

Because he has always maintained extra vigilance, but last night I don't know what happened, the whole person was groggy, and almost let a dancer climb onto the prince's bed, if it weren't for the shadow guard, and the prince still had a trace of sanity, I'm afraid ......

The prince never let women get close, even the maids around the princess only serve the princess, and the prince's affairs are not allowed to interfere, either the princess personally serves the princess, or the princess does it himself.

Last night, the people who came to the Four Princes' Village were drunk, and they should have been vigilant, but they didn't expect that he, a person who had never even drunk wine, would be groggy, if the Four Princes wanted to have any bad intentions, the consequences were really unimaginable.

Xiao Yue's eyes were piercing, and he glared at the dark one, his eyes were fierce as if he was about to pierce people's flesh and bones, and after a long time, he asked, "What time is it?" ”

Darkly, "It's just three minutes after the hour, and the people who were invited to the banquet by the four princes yesterday were all very drunk, and they haven't woken up yet. ”

He cautiously looked at Xiao Yue's face and said, "If the prince feels a headache, why don't you rest for a while?" If other guests wake up, their subordinates will come back and forth. ”

Xiao Yue's brows furrowed, and his voice became deeper and lower, "That dancer last night ......"
