He could have made Gu Muqi a concubine directly, but today he saw the queen mother's attitude towards Zun Mojun and Gu Muqing, and knew that his mother was dissatisfied with the Gu family, and he was afraid that he would directly marry Gu Muqi into the harem, and his mother would embarrass Gu Muqi everywhere.

He lowered his posture to discuss the matter of sealing the concubine with the Queen Mother, originally wanting the Queen Mother to see his deep love for Gu Muqi, and to accept Gu Muqi as she was her son, and agree to this marriage, so that the two can coexist peacefully in the future.

But now it seems that the road has become difficult.

He put a piece of fish meat in a bowl for the Queen Mother, and said to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, when you entered the palace as your father's concubine, you were just thirteen or fourteen years old, you see that you later managed the harem in an orderly manner, and shared state affairs for your father, aren't they all accumulated from the experience accumulated in the palace?"

"After all, Gu is also the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu, she must have received a good education at home since she was a child, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also full of poetry and books, I believe that she will learn more from her mother after entering the harem, and use her mother as a benchmark to restrain herself and assist me in governing the harem."

The Queen Mother didn't speak, but just ate all the dishes that Zun Motian put into the bowl for herself.

"Emperor, it's late at night, and the mourning family is tired after visiting and playing in this feast of bliss today, now the mourning family will go back to the palace to rest, and we will talk about other things later."

Gu Muqi saw that the Queen Mother's face was not very good, and she got up from her seat, and was helped out of the banquet by Mama Li beside her.

She has been good at observing words and emotions since she was a child, and she knows that Zun Motian and the Queen Mother must be discussing the matter of appointing her as a concubine, and she is not optimistic.

She adjusted her mentality, pretended to be drunk, deliberately staggered to her feet, and walked out with light steps.

Zun Motian saw that Gu Muqi seemed to have drunk too much, and hurriedly walked out.

"Your Highness, why did you come out?" Gu Muqi leaned against the pillar outside the hall, and asked Zun Motian who had just walked to his side with a hazy look in his eyes.

"I see that you seem to have drunk a little too much today, so I don't worry about you coming out alone."

Zun Motian said softly to Gu Muqi, this is the gentleness that can only be seen when facing Gu Muqi.

Gu Muqi slumped into Zun Motian's arms, touched Zun Motian's face and said, "Does Your Highness know why Mu Qi is drinking so much wine today?" Because I'm happy, I'm happy, I just made a vow to my beloved that we will be together forever, and Mu Qi will not be alone from now on. ”

Zun Motian listened to what Gu Muqi said and remembered the attitude of the queen mother towards him just now to make Gu Muqi his concubine, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He hugged Gu Muqi, who was drunk at this time, and said to her, "I will not let you down." ”

Gu Muqi listened to Zun Motian's words, smiled evilly in Zun Motian's arms, and immediately changed back to a state full of intoxication.

At this time, the palace door of the main hall was slowly opened by the guards, and the royal ministers, who were full of wine and food, hugged their necks and waists, and walked out with each other's arms.

At this time, not long after the gong of the fifth watch, suddenly, there was a sound of falling rubble from the palace in the north.

I saw a man with a black cloth on his face, a turban on his head, and a night suit, flying on the roof like a dragonfly on the wall, passing by the bell tower, he raised his eyes and glanced at the hour, turned over and jumped into the dark woods with light skills, and let the birds in the trees scatter into the sky.

I don't know who shouted, "There are assassins!" Protect the Emperor! ”

Within a few snaps of the man's fingers into the woods, a group of guards swarmed and jumped into the woods in groups of three. Although the sky was dark and the five fingers could not be seen in the woods, but at this time, he could no longer care about it, as long as he could kill this assassin, no matter what the price was.

Wang Yulin pulled out his sword and blocked it in front of Zun Motian and Gu Muqi.

"Take Miss Gu away." Zun Motian shouted at Wang Yulin, at this critical juncture, the first person Zun Motian thought of was Gu Muqi.

"But, what should you do, Your Majesty?"

"Don't worry about me, you can take Miss Gu away!"

Wang Yulin couldn't resist the Holy Name, and quickly walked back to Gu Muqi's side with his sword, pulling Gu Muqi up.

Gu Muqi was too frightened, her face was pale and she stood in place, trembling all over, she was grabbed by Wang Yulin who rushed over, and then jumped around the hall with her.

"Miss Gu, this is the place of the harem fish pond of the entire palace, the assassin should be the emperor tonight, this should be the safest place, you wait here for a while, I will protect the emperor."

After speaking, Wang Yulin jumped up and flew onto the roof.

Gu Muqi looked at the back of Wang Yulin leaving, sitting on the edge of the fish pond, thinking that everything that happened just now had nothing to do with him. Playing with the water in the fish pond, there were layers of ripples on the water.

If the queen mother gets in the way, she may not have a good time marrying into the palace.

It's better to look at it more, this Wang Yulin is not bad, the imperial guards are good at reaching out, they must have gained a lot of benefits by the emperor's side on weekdays, and the family background must be deep, why let yourself hang yourself on a crooked-necked tree, although it is an uncle who can cover the world.

At this time, a red and white koi fish swam to Gu Muqi's hand and pecked her gently.

Gu Muqi looked at the koi fish and thought to himself.

Koi fish have been a symbol of good luck since ancient times, and it seems that this farce tonight must be paving the way for a happy day for themselves.

At this time, she should be in the center of the main hall and was rescued by Wang Yulin in time and escaped, if she does not die, there will be a blessing, and she will definitely succeed if she wants to marry into the palace.

Gu Muqi straightened his hair and looked at the reflection of the water.

"Gu Muqi, you will definitely be admired by thousands of people in the future, and you will be envied by women all over the world."

Just between the lightning and flint, a cold light flickered in the air, and it quickly approached Zun Motian.

At this critical moment, Zun Mo Jun, who was standing in the crowd, wanted to use his years of martial arts to fight the assassin, but just as he was in front of Zun Mo Tian, a woman pulled him hard behind him, blocking him in front of the two brothers.

Zun Mojun instantly saw that it was his wife Gu Muqing.

The assassin's sword was about to fly to Gu Muqing's side, and at this time, she felt the cold sword aura coming from behind her, and the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc.

At this moment, before Zun Mojun and everyone could react, they saw Gu Muqing clasping his hands tightly, closing his eyes and shouting to Zun Mojun.
