She realized that she was grabbing the man's hand indiscriminately, and her wrists were scratched with red marks, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Guo Yan. She breathed a sigh of relief and buried her face in the arms of the third brother: "I dreamed that Yi killed Li Chun. ”

Guo Yan gently stroked her scattered green silk on the pillow and comforted: "It doesn't matter, it's okay anymore, you have some cold, I will ask fennel to bring ginger soup to you to drink." ”

Mu Ye grabbed Guo Yan: "Third brother, you tell me the truth, what is the situation between King Shu and the crown prince now?" ”

How is it? Guo Yan didn't know how to explain it to her, so he said for a long time: "If you read history books since you were a child, you should know that you have always been like this when you become a king and lose a villain." ”

The crown prince has been on the throne for thirteen years, and it is no longer him or the East Palace, but all the courtiers and families who support the prince are tied to the same rope. Once the crown prince's throne is not guaranteed, the East Palace and all of them will be at the end of the road.

What about King Shu? Perhaps he was initially pushed to this position passively, but once he decided to go to this road of contention, there was no turning back from the bow, and if he failed, there was only a dead end.

For more than ten years, the crown prince has always maintained a humble and generous image, not coming out of the way and not taking risks. And Li Yi has made great achievements in martial arts, and he has a great reputation at a young age, and he is deeply favored by the emperor.

However, over the years, he still hasn't really shaken the status of the prince, but Li Yi is much calmer and more introverted, which shows that the prince is not so benevolent and weak on the surface.

Konoha bowed his head: "I always thought it wasn't like that. ”

Guo Yan sighed: "Konoha, the emperor has already known the mandate of heaven. ”

Fifty years old, not too old, but in that position, I don't know how many eyes are staring, I don't know how many seven tricks are calculating, I must be exhausted, maybe one day the mountains and rivers will change dramatically.

The crown prince is not brilliant enough, but he is better because he is not fatally wounded, and there is no reason for the saint to abolish him.

Li Yi did better than the prince in everything, but he lost in one thing, he was not the biological son of the saint, according to the bloodline, he was actually the nephew of the saint.

Today's saint used to be the second prince, before he entered the East Palace, the position of the prince originally belonged to his eldest brother Prince Zhaojing, but unfortunately Prince Zhaojing and his wife died young.

Later, the saint took pity on Li Yiyu and lost his parents, so he ordered Concubine Wei Xian to adopt him and become the second prince. Concubine Wei Xian has followed the saint for many years, but unfortunately she has never given birth, and she happens to have a son.

The crown prince's biological mother, Empress Zhaode, has a deep relationship with the saint, and Empress Zhaode died a few years ago, and the throne is vacant.

Fennel brought the hot ginger soup, Guo Yan helped her up, she took the soup bowl, took a spoon and drank a spoonful, the ginger soup was hot and spicy, making her feel warm in all her internal organs.

Watching her drink it one by one, her pale face made him extremely pitiful, and Guo Yan blurted out for a while: "Don't worry, I'm always there." ”

Konoha paused with the hand holding the soup bowl, raised his head, and looked up his arm, the chin, eyebrows, and eyes similar to hers, the feeling of blood connection made her feel warm.

"Third brother, it's a pity that I couldn't follow you to beg for candy when I was a child, and next year, maybe not long after, I'll be leaving home again."

Guo Yan looked at the dense clouds outside the window, he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes gradually dimmed, and soon he became melancholy again. He swept the broken hair from his sideburns behind her ears for her, as if to say to her, and as if to say to himself: "If only you had been living in Shengping Mansion." ”

Konoha didn't understand what he said, "It would be nice if you lived in Shengping Mansion since you were a child" or "If you lived in Shengping Mansion forever in the future", she didn't ask, lowered her head and drank the ginger soup in the bowl.

The eldest brother is a concubine, and the second brother is not in good health, so the future of the Guo family will probably fall on the third brother. Konoha lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then Fang raised his head and said, "Third brother, if that day comes, will you always be there?" ”

On that day, Guo Yan knew that what she was talking about was when the prince and King Shu really met, and one of the two sisters was destined to be doomed.

Guo Yan didn't know where he got the courage, shook her hand, and nodded solemnly: "I'm here." ”

Konoha could hardly bear to ask any more, but she still asked, "Is it for friendship, or is it for me?" ”

Guo Yan sighed lightly: "If one day, I mean if, your husband sits on the world, but no longer treats you as before, I hope to be a great general, like my grandfather, supporting troops to defend one side." ”

In the deep palace, no matter how beautiful and wise you are, it is difficult to sit back and relax, only the power of your mother's family can keep each other safe, Konoha has always been pessimistic.

She lowered her eyebrows and bowed: "Thank you, third brother." ”

Guo Yan stroked her slightly frowning brow, "Don't worry, the dowry gift from King Shu's Mansion will be sent over in two days, and the gift of the levy will be paid." I heard that they are very serious over there, and they will never lose to the first concubine in the pomp, so it can be seen that Yi also attaches great importance to you. The population of King Shu's Mansion is small, and Concubine Wei Xian is in the palace, so she doesn't need to serve her in-laws, what a good life! ”

Konoha knew that Na Cai and Najib had passed, and the six ceremonies had already passed, so she was only waiting for the dowry to come down in a few days, and when the date was set, she would embroider her wedding dress behind closed doors. At most, she will have to leave the cabinet to adapt to a new identity.

King Shu treats her not too thinly, she is willing to marry him. But for some reason, I always feel faintly uneasy in my heart, and I always feel that this will not go so smoothly.
