Xiao Yue listened to Emperor Yongping's words, and suddenly raised his head, "In the future, I will only have a wife, and I will not have a concubine!" The emperor's uncle's harem is three thousand, are you happy? ”

Emperor Yongping looked at Xiao Yue's eyes fixedly, not angry, and slowly walked out of the hall, since ancient times, the emperor has taken a ruthless road.

There should be no affection, and there will be no affection.

will not pursue freedom and love like a moth to a fire, and will not let yourself have a weakness.

Because of the heart of the country, there is no room for others, and the person standing at the top is destined to be lonely.

If Xiao Yue is his son, then Gu Nian is his weakness, and the best way to get rid of his weakness is not to put her to death, nor to wield a knife to cut the love thread, let them marry and marry.

If that's the case, the weakness is not the weakness, but the untouchable scar in the heart, and it will be distressed for a lifetime without touching it.

It's just that Xiao Yue is not his son, there is no need to take that ruthless road, Emperor Yongping put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and remembered what King Jin said to him at the beginning.

Halfway, he turned around, "If you want to marry her, it's not impossible, as long as her poison is cured, you can do whatever you want." ”

Xiao Yue got up neatly, "Then you will give the marriage first." ”

Emperor Yongping pointed his fingers at him, his lips moved, and finally put it down dejectedly, "Get out." ”

"It's cold, get out and get cold, so go out." Xiao Yue saluted Emperor Yongping and withdrew.

*

Not long after the eldest princess left from the place where the old lady Yu lived, she also received a message sent in by Zhou Yan, "Your Royal Highness, the county lord, my uncle was suddenly taken away last night, I don't know where I went, and I have no whereabouts until now." ”

The eldest princess of the protector had not yet recovered from the words of the old lady, and when she heard the news brought by Zhou Yan, she was still stunned.

Gu Nian also stayed there.

"That friend of yours, don't you know who took it?" She tried her best to steady her voice, her father was picked up in the middle of the night, it was absolutely simple.

"I heard that it was assigned." Zhou Yan returned respectfully.

Gu Nian's heart fell straight down when he heard the word 'distribution', barely stabilized his mind, and slowly sat down.

The eldest princess finally came back to her senses and asked repeatedly, "Why was she assigned?" Where did the distribution go? You should have informed us so that we could be prepared. Aso, prepare the car, I'm going to enter the palace. ”

Gu Nian stopped the eldest princess of the country, if Emperor Yongping wanted to give face to his grandmother, there would be news when he entered the palace yesterday, instead of quietly, this matter became more and more weird.

Yesterday, Emperor Yongping drove them away, but left Yang Ge Lao to speak, Yang Ge Lao should not let Emperor Yongping match, his father is no threat to him now, just like a lamb to the slaughter.

Or did he want to disadvantage his father on the road? But the emperor will definitely not let his father die easily, and will definitely send heavy troops to escort him. Elder Yang Ge won't be so easy to get his hands on.

If it wasn't Yang Ge's old idea, then why would Emperor Yongping choose to distribute, and even Xiao Yue had no news from his side.

When she entered the palace with the pile of evidence given by her father, although she didn't dare to look at the emperor's face or see his expression, she felt that he was silent for a while, and when she came out, he didn't return the evidence to him.

When she went out at that time, the file had been pinched by the emperor all the time, which showed that he was very concerned about this case, or about the things that Yang Ge Lao had done.

Could it be that the emperor's assignment to his father is a bureau? In order to paralyze Yang Ge's old people, they actually let their father investigate the case?

Gu Nian's heart was filled with doubts, and her expression was uncertain, and in the eyes of the princess of the protector, it became a fact that she could not accept.

"Nian Nian." The eldest princess of the protector held Gu Nian's hand and looked at her with concern, her eyebrows full of exhaustion.

Gu Nian also knew that the impact of the eldest princess of the protector was quite big today, so he held her hand back and said softly, "Grandmother, I'm fine, but I don't know where my father was assigned, and I'm anxious." ”

She is anxious to see Xiao Yue now, and her father doesn't know which direction he is going.

The eldest princess of the protector held her, her eyes were gloomy, no matter what Emperor Yongping wanted to do, she would not give up, she said to Zhou Yan,

"You go to check near the prison to see if there are any suspicious traces, and report to me as soon as you finish the investigation."

Since Gu Shi'an can be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he will definitely not leave a back hand for himself, and he will definitely leave some secret marks.

The news about Gu Shi'an's distribution in the capital quickly spread.

This result disappointed many families, but also made some people happy.

For example, Yang Ge Lao.

When Yang Ge Lao received the news that Gu Shi'an was escorted to the northwest by the emperor's personal guards, he fell into a big stone in his heart.

At first, he was just annoyed that Gu Shi'an dragged him into the water when he took revenge on the Gu family, and wanted to take revenge back, but later saw that he was very close to the East Palace, so it seemed that he was going to completely press him into the dust.

I didn't expect to dig up such a big secret, no matter what happens next, as long as he goes to the northwest, it will be impossible to come back intact.

The power of the East Palace can't rise anymore, otherwise, the four princes will have a harder time.

When everyone thought that Gu Shi'an was not good, the emperor issued a holy decree to give marriage, which made everyone dumbfounded.

The decree came so suddenly, so suddenly that everyone was not mentally prepared.

Gu Nian was stunned and thanked him, and looked at his uncle An Yuanhou stunned and asked him to reward red envelopes to several eunuchs who came to announce the decree.

She looked at the Protector Princess, who also had a complicated expression.

At that time, the eunuch said hello to Marquis An Yuan and the princess of the protector with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to the Hou Ye." ”

An Yuanhou was also anxious during this time, and at this moment he was still smiling, "Tongxi." Seeing Gu Nian's stunned appearance, he hurriedly said,

"This kid is stupid with joy."

It was Yang Shun who came last time, he had seen Gu Nian on the other side, seeing this, he couldn't help but wonder, where was he happy and stupid, it was clearly a dumbfounded expression, and he didn't seem to understand what was going on.

's father has just been assigned, and he has been married as the princess of Jin, if he hadn't heard a little bit from his godfather and father-in-law, he would probably be dumbfounded.

As we all know, Xiao Yue's status in Emperor Yongping's heart is incomparable to all the princes combined, such a person, what kind of girl is not worthy, but he is matched with a girl whose father has just been assigned.

Your Majesty, what does this mean?

This question welled up in the hearts of all those who had heard of this decree of marriage.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin has been more than 20 years old, and he has not married yet, everyone has become accustomed to his marriage dragging on year after year, and many people speculate whether His Royal Highness the King of Jin will continue to drag on, and then become the first prince who will not marry in the east for life.

Although King Jin's reputation is not very good, it does not prevent many families from wanting to marry their daughters to him, but unfortunately the emperor has spoken, he will be the master of King Jin, without his words, even King Jin's own mother, Concubine Ji, does not dare to cross the rules.

King Jin's marriage is like a fragrant dumpling, and he wants to take a bite everywhere.

It's just that I didn't expect it to come so suddenly, and the result was so unexpected.

The Four Princes' Mansion, after the Four Princes received the news, they smashed the Ruyao tea cup in their hands on the spot.

The people who were waiting were silent until the four princes told them to get out and ran out in a hurry.

The fourth prince pulled his clothes, panting like a cow, he felt that there was another fire burning in his heart, the more it burned, the more it burned, he wanted to smash things, he wanted to kill people.

The fourth prince clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the violence in his heart, his head jumped suddenly, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed.

But in the end, Xiao Yue's bastard benefited.

He closed his eyes and kept telling himself to calm down, calm down.

He ordered someone to bring wine up, poured himself a drink, and was half drunk, but the more he drank, the more the slender figure lingered in his mind, and he couldn't erase it.

After Gu Shi'an was the orphan of King Su broke out, the two changed from cousins to cousins, and she wanted to call herself 'Uncle Cousin.' ’

The half-drunk fourth prince, thinking of that slender figure, if the female crouched under him and called himself 'uncle', the blood on his body boiled, and it happened that a maid came in with wine.

The fourth prince looked at her dimly and walked in, his face slowly turned into the one in his mind, he staggered forward, grabbed her, pressed her on the couch, and after venting, his eyes were drunk and hazy, looking at the blushing face of the woman under him.

He gritted his teeth and said gloomily, "Gu Nian, do you think you can avoid me if you marry Xiao Yue?" Dream. ”

The woman who was originally lying under the four princes was blushing, and everyone in the house knew that the four princes had always only favored Rong Yue, and now the four princes actually sprinkled rain and dew on her, which made her excited.

She was ashamed, when she heard what the four princes said, she looked at herself with red eyes, as if she was crazy, and she was horrified in her heart, and wanted to push away the four princes who were pressing on her body, and said,

"Your Highness, the slave maid is a colorful butterfly, not that concern, you have recognized the wrong person."

Caidie's delicate voice made the fourth prince suddenly sober up, he squinted, his eyes became cold, the corners of his lips smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently went down from her forehead to Caidie's white and slender neck.

Caidie thought that the four princes were going to continue, her eyes were half-closed and half-closed, and her long eyelashes trembled, and suddenly she felt her throat tighten, and the hands of the four princes began to swim around her neck, tightening more and more, slowly, she was like a fish jumping on the shore.

She struggled desperately, her feet kept rubbing, and finally, her body gradually softened, and finally quietly turned into a dead fish.

When the four princesses and Rong Yue came in, they saw Caidie Chiguo lying on the couch, and the four princes were dressing slowly and methodically.

The fourth princess's heart was sour, he was even willing to ask for a shameless maid, and he didn't even go to the backyard to find her.

It's just that when she stepped forward to take a look, she immediately gasped, and the five deep finger prints on Caidie's neck were actually strangled to death.

She subconsciously took a step back, although the women in the back house, although they will also make small means to compete for favor, but they are all petty fights, or human lives, the fourth prince's shot is a human life, which makes her shudder.

She glanced at Rong Yue, who was helping the fourth prince sort out his clothes, and saw her calmness, and spat her in her heart.

I only heard the fourth prince say coldly, "This is handed over to you, you must not spread a little rumor, otherwise, you will know the consequences." ”

After speaking, he walked out without knowing his head, and Rong Yue followed with his hands down.

The fourth prince twisted the handkerchief and saw the two of them leaving, no matter how scared he was, he still stepped forward, and said lightly, "It has nothing to do with me, if you want to blame, just kidnap the person who hurt you." ”

In the gate of the mansion, a maid died, that was a common thing, but it was the first time that the grass in the backyard of the four princes swept people and threw them into the mass grave, and it was naturally seen by people with hearts.

*

Gu Ci was so congested to stay in the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion during this time, she never went out again, not only that, she had to serve the old lady Yu, she had to do everything by herself without a maid, but where did she do the thing of waiting for people?

She doesn't know when she will be able to get rid of such a life, she walks around the yard irritably, where the projectile is big, she even knows how many weeds grow in the corner of the wall, and every day in addition to being in a daze, is to be a female celebrity.

“…… I didn't expect the county lord to have such a good fate, my uncle was assigned, and she could still be the princess of Jin. "The Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion dialed two maids to come over and clean up,

At the moment, the two were chatting.

"That is, my uncle is assigned again, and he is also a descendant of the royal family, and the county lord is also a relative of the emperor. It's not okay to match the king of Jin. Another maid said, "Besides, if there is an amnesty, maybe my uncle will be let back." ”

"There will be happy events in the house again, I just hope that this time I can live in peace, not like the second girl last time."

"Phew, you don't curse people."

"Who is Princess Jin?" Gu Ci shouted angrily and asked the two maids, she knew that there were two county lords in the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, one was Gu Nian's dead girl, and the other was the second girl in the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion.

In fact, she has the answer in her heart, the second girl of the Marquis of Anyuan has just been separated from each other, and it is impossible for her to be married as the princess of Jin, so she can only take care of it.

Still, she still had a little fantasy that it wasn't her.

The two maids were frightened by her reaction, and looked at her in a daze.

"Who is Princess Jin?" Gu Ci's saliva almost sprayed on the faces of the two of them, and the nameless fear firmly grasped her heart, making her a little incessant.

The muscles on Gu Ci's face kept pumping, looking extremely hideous, and his gaze seemed to be about to swallow the person in front of him.

The frightened two maids had weak legs and feet, and fell to their knees with a pop.

"Princess Jin is our cousin, the lord of Kangle." A maid said boldly.

Gu Nian such a person actually took the main room of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the prince and concubine, and she, Gu Ci, was sending people under the fence at the moment, and the family had already fallen.

Gu Ci almost crushed his silver teeth, and tears fell down.

In the evening, the news of the death of the old lady came from the guest house.

Astragalus used a golden needle to stimulate the old lady's acupoint, that is, to pull out the vitality, like returning to the light, the next day, Gu Liangdong borrowed the place of the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion to open a mourning hall to accept worship from all directions.

Although Mrs. Yu was taken away, the funeral was not deserted, and the presiding officer of Izumo Temple personally brought his apprentices to do things, and he did not charge a penny for the undead.

The people who came to worship were also high-ranking nobles, and they were all looking at the face of the old prince.

Since it has already fallen, there is no need to step on it, who knows if the Gu family will be able to get up in the future? High-ranking nobles, ups and downs are too normal.

Gu Nian went to worship as a guest, and now her identity is really embarrassing.

Although the emperor assigned Gu Shi'an, he did not officially admit that Gu Shi'an was the orphan of King Su, so Gu Shi'an was not a royal person for a day.

And Gu Shi'an grew up in the Gu family, even if he was not biological, he also had the grace of parenting.

But if Gu Nian wanted to bow down to the old lady as a descendant of the Gu family, she was unwilling.

Old Madam Yu is the direct murderer of the early death of the county lord of Jingning, and she wants her to kneel down for her revenge for killing her mother? Being able to go to a stick of incense as a guest is all for the sake of the face of the princess who protects the country.

Since the people of the Gu family were taken in, they couldn't be too ugly.

Although this is with a purpose, if you want to do it, you can't be taken lightly.

When Gu Nian went, Gu Cizhen knelt in front of the mourning hall, and when he saw Gu Nian, Gu Ci ignored the people who came and went on the side, "You didn't even dress your grandmother in linen and filial piety." ”

Gu Nian ignored her, took the incense from the maid's hand, bowed, and inserted it into the incense burner.

Seeing her attitude, Gu Ci grabbed Gu Nian, "Even if you are not from the Gu family, but you are also growing up in the Gu family, you are so unvirtuous and unfilial, how can you be worthy of being the princess of Jin?" ”

Gu Nian brushed away Gu Ci's hand holding her clothes, and said lightly, "I can come and give the old lady a pillar of incense, it's already very face-saving." Don't challenge my patience again. ”

Gu Ci sneered, "It's really a white-eyed wolf." ”

Gu Nian said lightly, "If being a white-eyed wolf can make you happy, it's a white-eyed wolf." ”

After Gu Nian came out of the mourning hall, he said a word to the princess of the protector, and then ordered Uncle Yang to drive to Xiao Yue's house in Liyu Hutong.

When she got there, the porter put Gu Nian in, and after knowing that Gu Nian was looking for Xiao Yue, she asked Gu Nian to wait, and then called a little girl and took Gu Nian to the room where she stayed last time.

Gu Nian was waiting for Xiao Yue, thinking about what was on her mind, Old Madam Yu was dead, no matter what she said was true or not, she couldn't ask anything anymore.

She said that the man's eyes were sharp, and she thought about it for days, and there was only one person left.

Although the Duke of Yasukuni was named the Duke of Guo, it was a family of literati, and the family was all elegant and elegant, even walking slowly, and there was no power to tie the chicken, which was not at all the same as what Mrs. Yu described.

Well, in the end, there was only one British duke left, and the last time she met the British duke with her father at Izumoji, she had doubts at that time.

The way the British Duke looked at his father was too strange. She had to be suspicious.

is good to his father and has an enmity with his grandmother, these two points can be matched by the British father, as a friend of King Su, he must have an enmity against his grandmother.

After all, my grandmother directly or indirectly led to the defeat of King Su and was labeled as an anti-king.

Thinking of this, Gu Nian couldn't help but shudder, how deep was the scheming that began to lay out more than thirty years ago?

Gu Nian's head was a little muddy, she subconsciously stood up, and almost stumbled because her feet were numb, but fortunately, Astragalus grabbed her quickly on the side.

When his feet didn't go numb, Gu Nian said, "Go back." ”

Astragalus was a little stunned again, she said it so neatly that she didn't wait any longer, she felt a little strange in her heart, but Astragalus was obedient.

Gu Nian thought too much just now, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she wanted to go back and ask the princess for some details.

When Gu Nian was about to get into the carriage with the support of Astragalus, there was a commotion at the door, and then soon saw the little girl who had just led the way and said, "The prince is here." ”

Gu Nian stepped on the wheel with one foot, and saw a man wearing dark purple civilian clothes, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and no other ornaments on his body, dressed very low-key and restrained, only his general temperament could not be covered by low-key clothes.

There were fine beads of sweat on his face, and he was panting slightly.

Gu Nian's grandmother looked at him, his performance made her think that he was in a hurry for herself, and her face was slightly dyed with the flush after the gallop.

Although, she felt that she was a bit self-inflicted thinking like this, but the words of the dark one made her exactly this idea.

"Lord Wang, you are walking so fast, your subordinates ......" Dark One seemed to think of something, and stopped halfway through speaking.

However, this did not prevent Gu Nian from knowing the fact that Xiao Yue was in a hurry.

"Niannian, what are you looking for me?" Xiao Yue is not as cold and awe-inspiring as he was at the beginning, just like a hairy boy who sees his sweetheart.

Xiao Yue took Gu Nian's hand and said, "Let's go in first." ”

Gu Nian was a little remorseful at the moment, after all, Xiao Yue was in charge of the emperor's secret guard, and he was the emperor's favored courtier, so he must be very busy.

Just came to the door rashly, as if a little careless.

So, when Xiao Yue held her hand, she didn't pull it back, but let him lead her and walked into the courtyard just now.

When the two of them were seated, after the astragalus served tea under the leadership of the dark one, they retreated to the door together to guard, not far away, not close, they could see the two people in the room, but they couldn't hear their conversation.

"Is there anything you have to do here at this time?" Xiao Yue asked again.

"Can you help me find out about the British duke?" Gu Nian said.

Xiao Yue frowned, "Do you suspect the British Duke?" ”

Gu Nian touched his nails and nodded, "Yes." ”

She was suspicious of him, so she wanted to prove that she was right.

The British duke is too strange, this time the father's matter, many courtiers interceded for the father, after all, the father is innocent, or that reason, people can't choose their parents.

However, the British duke did not say a word, which is too abnormal.

made Gu Nian's suspicions deeper.

Xiao Yue looked at her for a while and sighed, "Can you leave all these things to me?" I don't want you to work so hard. ”

*

In the Jin Palace, when the Ji family received the news, he almost broke the armor in his hand, and under his anger, he actually gave birth to infinite power.

For so many years, she has been accustomed to her son's unmarried, and she has arranged for many girls from her mother's family to come over, but unfortunately she can't look down on any of them. It's good that I have such a daughter-in-law now.

Thinking about it, she was unwilling and went to the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion to find the eldest princess of the country.
