Although he felt that he could look at Liu Jiaojiao all the time without blinking for a day, he was afraid that his too enthusiastic eyes would scare other little girls, so it didn't take long for Gu Tingfeng to reluctantly retract his gaze and ask: "You have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, why did you come to me today?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao was also a little panicked, and when she saw that the other party finally retracted her gaze, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "There are some private matters that must be talked to you alone, Lord Wang, how about swinging away?" ”

Gu Tingfeng's heart was shocked, could it be what he thought? A suspicious flush quickly flashed on Jijun's face, and then he waved his hand without hesitation to let everyone go down.

Thunder turned back as he walked, feeling that his master was really thinking too much, should he really not remind him?

Everyone retreated, and only Gu Tingfeng and Liu Jiaojiao were left in the huge main hall.

After coughing lightly twice, Gu Tingfeng suppressed his excitement and said slightly: "Jiaojiao, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”

Promise not to take a concubine, the family property will belong to you, and the child will be raised, he has already thought of all the answers that may arise in his heart.

Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that the third prince's brain hole had broken through the galaxy, so she pondered it in her heart before she spoke: "Lord, have you ever thought about your future?" ”

"I have thought about it, I will be a good father, a good father, I will love my wife, I will raise my children well, and the family will live a happy life." When Gu Tingfeng spoke, his eyes looked at her with a wrong eye.

It's a pity that Liu Jiaojiao didn't receive his brain waves at all, just when he wanted to live an ordinary and simple life, nodded slightly, and said with a hint of seriousness: "Your wish is very good, although it is simple but very happy, but have you ever considered it, with today's vigilance against you, will he believe that you are willing to be ordinary?" Okay, even if he can tolerate you, can the next new emperor succeed you tolerate? ”

Gu Tingfeng was stunned, he naturally understood these things, so he had been walking on thin ice, but he didn't expect Liu Jiaojiao to put these on the table.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Jiaojiao continued: "Lord Wang, what kind of character is it today, I think no one knows better than you, why my mother has such a fate, why the Xie family fell to the current field, you all see it." I treat you as a friend, so I don't want to say those hypocritical things to you. I want to protect the Xie family, I want to protect myself, so I don't like the current emperor. ”

Gu Tingfeng was so shocked that he stood up directly from the chair, and scolded in a panicked and nervous voice: "Jiaojiao, do you know what you are talking about?" As he spoke, he didn't forget to walk quickly to the door and window and open it to take a look, and then sit back in his place after making sure that the partition wall had no ears.

"Jiaojiao, you are too bold, that's my imperial brother, aren't you afraid that I will tell him?" Gu Tingfeng complained half-truthfully.

Liu Jiaojiao smiled indifferently, but her eyes were full of trust, "You won't betray your friends, I believe you." ”

Gu Tingfeng's breath stagnated, and then smiled bitterly.

Yes, he really wouldn't betray her, but not because of the righteousness of any friend, but because he liked her.

"I'm glad you can trust me, but people's hearts are unpredictable, what if I pretend to be in front of you? It's better for you to be careful when you talk in the future. ”

"It doesn't matter, if you pretend to be, when the emperor finds trouble for me, I'll pull you into the water together, saying that you have said a lot of disrespectful things to me, with the emperor's character, he would rather believe it than not, and then you will be unlucky with me!"

Gu Tingfeng: "......" You are a scoundrel, do you know?

Then he shook his head with a smile and said helplessly: "You, you, I can't talk about you, you are amazing, okay?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao deliberately learned from the man and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, each other." ”

Gu Tingfeng secretly rolled his eyes, your dare, your each other, it's really ...... It's too weird.

After some deliberate gags by Liu Jiaojiao, the originally serious and somewhat solidified atmosphere in the room was instantly alleviated a lot.

Gu Tingfeng is not stupid, if he hasn't understood that he wants to be crooked by now, then he will be really a fool.

Liu Jiaojiao is not here to tell you anything, but to test his attitude.

Forced by his mother's last words, he had to endure it for many years, and he has been living tremblingly, for fear that one day the moody royal brother would think that he was an obstacle and directly kill him. Qiankun Audiobook.com

Over the years, he has become accustomed to making a squirming image in front of people who only loves food and doesn't care about anything, except for a few of his most trusted subordinates, no one else has seen his true face.

After struggling in his heart for a while, Gu Tingfeng sighed faintly, dissipated the temperament that had been disguised for many years, sat upright, and said: "You are right, the emperor will indeed not allow me to live a free life, even if I have repeatedly stated that I will not rob him of his position, because my father once left an edict that said that the heir he wanted in his heart was me." ”

"What?" Liu Jiaojiao exclaimed unconsciously, and then quickly covered her mouth, didn't she? Gu Tingfeng is the real heir to the throne? Isn't the current emperor a usurper?

Gu Tingfeng smiled bitterly: "Back then, my mother was deeply loved by my father, but unfortunately she has always been in poor health, and when she gave birth to me, she was even more injured, and she lingered on the sickbed all day long. My father's son-in-law died young, and although there were several sons under my knees, I was the one I loved the most. I was too young at that time, but my brothers had grown up, and in order to avoid the jealousy and murderous intentions of the brothers after making me the crown prince, my father refused to make the crown prince for a long time. Later, when my mother was terminally ill, the imperial doctor said that there was no cure, so my father quietly made an edict and handed it over to my mother for safekeeping, and told her that she would leave the throne to me, so that she would not have to worry about my future. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Tingfeng's eyes turned red, and his voice was faintly choked, "But unexpectedly, this matter was inadvertently known by the imperial brother's mother, and she threatened the concubine with my life and asked her to burn the edict." At that time, she was a noble concubine, the family was powerful, and the royal brother was the best but the most ruthless of several brothers. ”

Liu Jiaojiao asked in surprise: "Didn't the emperor know about this matter?" ”

"In order to protect me, the mother didn't dare to tell my father about it, and after she died, the emperor was too sad and soon fell ill, and the concubine immediately took control of the entire harem, except for her and the imperial brother, no one else could see her father's face at all. Later, his father died, and the emperor's brother killed the other brothers with a thunderbolt and ascended to the throne. ”

"Why did he leave you alone? You are the heir of the emperor's choice, and if you are killed, won't you be able to completely eliminate future troubles? I don't mean anything else, but I just analyze it on a case-by-case basis. ”

"Because he was suspicious, he never believed that his mother really burned the edict, and felt that his mother must have left it to me, so he left me."

"To be honest, it's really hard for me to understand his psychology, is it important to have a testament? As long as you, the person concerned, are gone, isn't that edict useless? ”

Gu Tingfeng said with a smile: "As long as there is an edict, it means that his throne is not justified, he is an extremely conceited person, he has always boasted of himself, how can he be willing to bear the reputation of usurping the throne?" Therefore, he had to find the edict with his own hands and destroy it in order to be completely at ease. ”

"But didn't you say that your mother had already ruined the edict?"

"Yes, I saw my mother burn it with my own eyes, but the imperial brother doesn't believe it, what can I do?"

Liu Jiaojiao shrugged helplessly, pouted, and said, "Too much suspicion is a disease, and it must be cured!" ”

Gu Ting laughed out loud, then looked at Liu Jiaojiao with a serious expression, and said seriously: "Since you are open and honest with me today, I will not hide it from you, although the mother concubine asked me not to fight or rob before she died of illness, but just because of the suspicious nature of the imperial brother, even if I told him that I would not rob the throne with my death, he would feel that I was ruining his reputation with my own death." Therefore, over the years, I have been walking around on the surface and indulging in food, but in fact, I have always had the power to secretly develop myself. ”

Saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly and wryly: "I'm really not interested in that position, but I don't want to live on thin ice all the time, if one day he really wants to attack me, then I can only give it a go!" ”

Liu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, grabbed his hand, and said word by word: "The first is human, and the second is controlled by others, so don't hesitate, give it a fight, my brother and I will help you!" ”

When Gu Tingfeng's hand was caught, his heart beat wildly, and his excitement and joy were like fireworks, blooming in his mind, but when he heard the last sentence, his enthusiasm was instantly poured down by cold water, and his heart was cold.

He almost forgot that Liu Jiaojiao was already famous, and the man she liked was the prince of Great Xia, the handsome man who grew up with her.

With a bitter smile in his heart, but there was no show on his face, Gu Tingfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Even if the person in your heart is not me, as long as you want me to do it, I will do it, no matter how difficult it is.

After Liu Jiaojiao left, Gu Tingfeng asked Thunder to inform all the forces and secret guards under his command to be on standby, and he was going to grab that position.

Lei Ting asked with some surprise: "Master, didn't you say that you would wait until the emperor did something to you?" Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

Although Gu Tingfeng trusted Lei Ting very much, he didn't want to tell him too clearly, lest he think that Liu Jiaojiao was a disaster, so he used Liu Jiaojiao's words to prevaricate: "The first strike, the second strike is controlled by others, instead of passively waiting for him to attack me, it is better for me to seize the opportunity and catch him off guard!" ”

Thunder was overjoyed and said: "Master, you have finally figured it out, your subordinates will go and inform them, don't worry, we will definitely win!" ”

Gu Tingfeng smiled at him indifferently and waved him down.

If he succeeds in that position and hires Jiangshan, will his little girl be willing to turn back?
