On that day, when Gu Lingyu reported that the Gu family colluded with Concubine Xian to rebel, the emperor remembered his righteousness and reported that Youen had promised him a wish, as long as Gu Lingyu needed it, he could come to him to fulfill it.

Now that he is asking for a meeting, is it asking him for a wish?

The emperor didn't wait long, and saw Gu Lingyu, who was dressed in cloth, walk into the main hall and bowed: "Gu Lingyu, a grass person, greets the emperor." ”

Although the Gu family is a sinner, he himself is not guilty, so he does not need to call himself a sinner, but he does not have any official title, so he can only call himself a grass person.

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Get up." ”

Gu Lingyu stood up, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, not daring to trespass half a point, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the grass people came today to get back the wish that the emperor promised to the grass people. ”

"You said you didn't want it at the time, why do you want it now?" The emperor looked at him in the palace, his tone was flat, and there was no contempt or ridicule.

Gu Lingyu knelt on the ground when he heard this, bowed his head and said: "The grass people were disheartened with everything at that time, and planned to end this life, so they didn't dare to accept the emperor's kindness, but now the grass people have a reason to live, but the grass people are really down, so they have the courage to come to see the emperor." ”

The emperor snorted lightly and said unhappily: "Is my wish something you say you want and don't want if you say you don't want it?"

Gu Lingyu trembled with fright, and hurriedly confessed: "The emperor is angry, because the grass people don't know what to do, and I hope that the emperor will take care of the dragon body, don't be angry and hurt for the lowly body of the grass people." ”

Father-in-law Su raised his eyes and looked at Gu Lingyu without a trace, thinking about how glorious the Gu family was at the beginning, and what kind of demeanor this Gu Lingyu was, but now he is prostrate on the ground because of poverty, asking people for a way to live.

But it was he who did everything he used to do, which gave him what he is today, thinking about it, four words came to mind in Grandpa Su's mind: create things and make people!

The emperor listened to Gu Lingyu's words, and the anger on his face eased slightly, but he still asked in a cold voice, "What do you want?"

The Gu family has already surrendered to the law, and King Qu and Concubine Xian have also paid the price of their lives for the wrongs they have committed, leaving this Gu Lingyu alone, there is no need to be afraid, and there is no need to add more sins.

"The grass people thanked the emperor first. Gu Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, bowed deeply to the ground, and said earnestly: "The grass people's wish is to allow the grass people to be a strategist by King Ning's side. ”

"King Ning?" The emperor frowned when he heard this, when did this Gu Lingyu have such a deep relationship with King Ning?

What is the conspiracy?

Gonggong Su was shocked, what was this Gu Lingyu doing? Wouldn't such a sentence make the emperor suspicious of King Ning!

If King Ning really has the heart to keep him as a strategist, he just stays quietly, so why do he need to ask the emperor for permission?

Come to think of it, this Gu Lingyu is making his own opinion, right?!

How could the emperor not think of what Gonggong Su could think of, but he thought about it more deeply, the Gu family and Concubine Xian rebelled, King Ning can be said to be the biggest beneficiary, did he do something behind his back to fuel the trouble?

Thinking about it again that day, at the banquet where the envoys received the wind, King Qu had bitten King Ning before he was subdued, was he really innocent?

Did he and Gu Lingyu ever team up to be the king of the calculating canal?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened and heartbroken he became, the former childish child has now grown up, and he is good at using tricks and tricks!

The last thing he wants to see is father and son cannibalism, brothers fighting, but now the things he is most afraid of have been presented one by one!

The hall was silent, the emperor exuded anger all over his body, Gonggong Su didn't dare to speak easily, just hung his head and pretended to be dead, while Gu Lingyu maintained a kneeling posture, so that people could not see his expression.

The emperor was silent for half a cup of tea before he spoke: "I promised you." ”

Gu Lingyu buried his head in his arms, and exhaled invisibly when he heard the words, the emperor's agreement to his request showed that the emperor had doubts and disappointment with King Ning.

This is his first step!

The future will be done by King Ning's side!

The night is like water, Jin Xiuchen came to the Mohe Garden, saw the osmanthus tree standing in the courtyard under the moonlight, hooked his lips and smiled, I heard that this tree is as old as Mo'er, such a fragrant tree, such a lovely person, how not to make people admire!

Today is the night vigil of the dream, and after seeing Jin Xiuchen, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Your Highness, the master has already slept." ”

"Hmm. Jin Xiuchen answered and walked into the room, but his steps were very light, lest he wake up the cat in his dream.

There was only one candle in the outer room, and the inner room was dim, and everything could only be seen roughly, Jin Xiuchen groped to the edge of the collapse, looked at the people on the couch, and smiled as warm as the March sun.

Kazui lay down on her side, encircled the person in her arms, and listened to her shallow breathing, and her heart was already very satisfied.

Muze Garden

Zhao Qingying took advantage of the night to go out of the door, and hid the night watchman all the way to the corner gate of the General's Mansion, and took a letter from the crack in the blue bricks under the eaves.

Back in the room, Zhao Qingying glanced at Wu Xiaorou, who was still asleep, tiptoed to light a candle outside, took out the letter in her sleeve, opened it carefully, and read it quickly by the candlelight.

"What are you doing?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the room, Zhao Qingying shrank in fright, took off the letterhead, and fell to the ground.

Wu Xiaorou came out of the shadows, looked at Zhao Qingying suspiciously, and picked up the letterhead on the ground before Zhao Qingying.

Zhao Qingying panicked, and was about to grab it, but was scolded by Wu Xiaorou fiercely.

Wu Xiaorou read the contents of the letter, her face turned pale with fright, and her lips trembled: "You... What are you going to do?"

Zhao Qingying glared at Wu Xiaorou impatiently, and only had some ability when she reprimanded her, look, she was so scared when she encountered something else!

sneered, snatched the letter back and burned it, and said coolly: "Didn't my mother see the contents of the letter?

Wu Xiaorou grabbed Zhao Qingying's wrist and scolded sharply: "I'm asking you, what are you going to do? Who wrote this letter to you?"

It turned out to be a letter to the General's Mansion? They now eat, drink, and live in the General's Mansion, and if the General's Mansion falls, where will they go?

Zhao Qingying was pinched by her flesh, shook off her hand hard, and said angrily: "I don't know my mother when I say it!"

"Since you don't say it, follow me to see your aunt!" Wu Xiaorou finished speaking, pulling Zhao Qingying's arm and about to go out.

If they can take the initiative to admit their mistakes, Peng's heart is kind, and they will definitely forgive them again, so they can still live here.

She didn't want to cut off the road to a stable life for the rest of her life.

Zhao Qingying panicked, if this matter was known by the people of the General's Mansion, even if the Peng family let her go, Peng Mo and those cousins would definitely not let her go!

At that time, no one could save her, and in a panic, she remembered something in her heart, and roared: "If my mother wants to see Shi'er die, just go and tell the truth!"

This sentence really quieted Wu Xiaorou, she turned around and looked at Zhao Qingying incredulously, and asked in a dumb voice, "You mean Shi'er, wasn't he exiled?"

"Yes, but the person who wrote the letter has already rescued Shi'er, if the mother pokes out the matter at this time, the person who wrote the letter will be exposed, and Shi'er will definitely die!" Zhao Qingying looked at Wu Xiaorou with disdain, she really still values her son!

"Shi'er... Where is Shi'er now?" Wu Xiaorou pulled Zhao Qingying, her voice eager and happy.

"We will arrive in Kyoto in these two days!" Zhao Qingying approached Wu Xiaorou and warned in a dark way: "If my mother wants to see Shi'er safe, don't do stupid things!"

Wu Xiaorou looked at her daughter's expression, she was inexplicably a little scared, she didn't know that her daughter had become such a terrifying appearance, and she swallowed her saliva and nodded in agreement against her daughter's seeping gaze like a poisonous snake.

Zhao Qingying was satisfied, sneered, and went to sleep.

But Wu Xiaorou couldn't sleep anyway, or she didn't dare to sleep in the same bed with Zhao Qingying, sitting alone under the lamp, thinking about her son who was about to return, thinking about the person who wrote the letter to Zhao Qingying, thinking about her dead eldest daughter, her dead husband, thinking about the content of the letter, she couldn't calm down for a long time!

Zhao Shi finally came back alive, if she exposed Zhao Qingying at this time, not to mention what would happen to Zhao Qingying and the person who wrote the letter, Shi'er would definitely be re-arrested and exiled, and she couldn't watch her son suffer again!

The General's Mansion has deep roots, and the person who wrote the letter may not be able to shake it in the slightest, even if she conceals this matter, the General's Mansion will definitely be fine.

Jin Wangfu

In the morning, the maid of the palace stood outside Jin Rui's door with toiletries, and after knocking on the door, she heard no response inside, so she muttered: "Nothing will happen to the prince, right?"

The other maid whispered back, "What can happen?

"How can it be good for the prince to be depressed all day long? A few days ago, when I went out, I heard those rough people in the market talking about the prince!"

"What are you talking about?"

Before Jin Rui woke up, several maids put down the basin and other things, and chatted together.

"Saying that our prince's life is not good, and he has married two side concubines in a row, all of whom are troublemakers. ”

A maid scoffed at this: "It's just nonsense, isn't the life of our prince better than the one who was beheaded?"

"But that is because of ambition, if that happens, now the beheaded one will be the new emperor, look at our prince...?"

"That's right, our prince has never been recognized by the emperor, and even the lady in the temple is not favored by the emperor!"

"Yes, the lockdown order of the palace has not been lifted yet!"

"If our prince marries a helpful woman as a concubine, our palace will not be able to raise its head in front of people!"

"Speaking of help, it's only Peng Mo from the General's Mansion!"

Jin Rui stood inside the door and clearly heard the discussions of these maids, thinking back to the unhappiness of the Jin Palace's mansion in the past few months, thanks to Yang Hua and Qi Yu.

That slut of Qi Yu dared to commit murder in his mansion and make him the laughing stock of the whole of Kyoto, it's damned!

If he can really marry Peng Mo, then he will be the most promising prince to enter the East Palace!

But the father didn't know if he intended to let a few of them avoid the military power of the general's mansion or how, he actually agreed to the queen's request and gave Peng Mo to Wei Yingran, the sick man!
