He seems to run to Gu Banqin as soon as he is free recently, even if he comes to sit down, drink a cup of tea, and say a few words to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin is used to him coming frequently, and after asking for peace, he stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

handed the hand stove in his hand to Helian Hongyi, and after Helian Hongyi took it, he hugged her to the inner hall.

The earth dragon was burned in the inner hall, and it was warm and coaxing, Helian Hongyi pulled Gu Banqin on the warm couch, which was the favorite place for the two to stay when they met during the day.

There is a dragon under the warm couch, which is also warm and dry, which is particularly comfortable, but Gu Banqin will only sit on it after Helian Hongyi comes, and she prefers to wear more clothes on weekdays and bask in the sun under the grape trellis outside.

"You went to the Lanyue Palace? How's the situation with the concubine? ”

Helian Hongyi rubbed his hands, held Gu Banqin's face and kissed it, and then asked her.

Gu Banqin leaned against him and didn't hide it: "The situation is average, a little emotionally unstable, and she wants to die, but I persuaded her, in a short period of time, she shouldn't do stupid things." ”

Helian Hongyi laughed: "You persuaded Gu Nianshu? She didn't bite you? ”

The grievances and hatred of these two people, even if Helian Hongyi didn't listen to the report of the inner servant, he didn't believe that they would sit down and talk calmly, only to see Gu Banqin smile:

"You want to bite me, didn't I give her a chance? She now has a heart that wants to die, and I have been persuaded to become a raging revenge heart, and she must be thinking about how to kill me to relieve her anger now, and she can't think of how to kill herself for the time being. ”

Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin, his face was a little gloomy, Gu Banqin saw this, and hurriedly explained:

"I'm also for the emperor, since the emperor wants to spare her life, he must want to use her to continue to blackmail the Gu family, if she dies in the palace, it will definitely disrupt the emperor's plan, the emperor's plan is the concubine's plan, so ...... Concubines are smart! ”

Gu Banqin looked like he was waiting for you to praise me, which made Helian Hongyi cry and laugh, and only sighed for a long time and said:

"Who said that I protected her to blackmail the Gu family? If you want to rely on a woman to blackmail your courtiers, then I, the emperor, simply don't do it. Today's events are only this once, and the next one is not an example. You must no longer put yourself in danger, and you must not be guilty of wronging yourself for the sake of a Gu Nianshu. ”

Helian Hongyi's words made Gu Banqin a little confused, and asked in a hurry:

"What does the emperor mean by this? You didn't want to blackmail the Gu family, so why did you save Gu Nianshu? It's not like you like her, if you really like her, it won't make the skin on her face fester...... Moreover, I didn't feel that I was wronged, I was originally targeted...... Not. ”

Before Gu Banqin's words were finished, he was strongly sealed by Helian Hongyi......

Helian Hongyi suddenly pulled Gu Banqin into his arms, pressed down on the warm couch, Qingyun and Caiping sent tea in, their faces were red with fright, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly and quietly retreated, walked outside the door, and Caiping carefully closed the door for them.

"The emperor and the mother ......"

It's so embarrassing, these words, Qingyun didn't say them yet, she was covered by the color screen and pulled away.

Helian Hongyi kissed for a while before letting go of Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin bit her wet lip, sat up from the warm couch, got off the bed, lowered her head and sat on the other side, muttering: "Big, big daylight." ”

Helian Hongyi licked his lips and reminisced, leaned on the soft pillow, admired Gu Banqin's shy appearance, and said with a smile:

"Don't say you're a target anymore. Don't belittle yourself anymore, you say it once, I kiss it once! I don't care what the occasion. ”

Gu Banqin stared at Helian Hongyi with a pair of dark black eyes, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was stunned for a while before he spoke: "Why, why?" I was a ......"

Before the two words of the target could be spoken, Gu Banqin saw Helian Hongyi get up, she hurriedly covered her mouth, comforted Helian Hongyi and continued to lie down, and then racked her brains to weigh the words and said:

"I mean, when did you change your mind, Your Majesty? I was told to do this before, and you ordered me to do this, what's the difference now? ”

Helian Hongyi exhaled and said to Gu Banqin: "I was confused in the past, and I won't be in the future." Because I found that you have done a good job in managing the harem, and have caught all the ills in the front and rear harems, and now the palace rules that have been modified by you are enough to operate, not to mention, now everyone is used to me favoring you, so ......"

Gu Banqin was stunned for a long time before continuing Helian Hongyi's words: "So, the effect of erecting me as a typical one is not much, the emperor wants to ...... Change ...... Target? ”

Helian Hongyi shook his head and said, "You forgot about the topic. In the past, I didn't understand what feelings were, and I always wanted to use feelings to control people's hearts, but now I find that I was wrong, feelings are not something that can be used and controlled, and I will make up for what hurt you in the past. ”

Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi, he didn't say anything for a long time, seeing that he looked serious and his tone was sincere, if he hadn't experienced the assassination incident, Gu Banqin would really be moved by the sincerity in his eyes.

But now, true or false, Gu Banqin really doesn't know how to trust him.

Without giving a response, Gu Banqin just nodded perfunctorily: "Ah." That one...... At the beginning of next year, it's the draft, what kind of emperor likes, next year it should be me to help you choose, you tell me what kind of girl you like, I will look for you according to your preferences. ”

The distrust and perfunctory in Gu Banqin's eyes made Helian Hongyi feel helpless, sighed, and said bluntly:

"You're like that."

Gu Banqin pointed at herself, glared at her and said, "Am I like this?" Appearance? Intrinsic? Talented and good-looking? ”

Helian Hongyi couldn't help laughing, got up from the warm couch, and walked in front of Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin shrank back nervously, and gave Helian Hongyi a defensive look at the hand stretched out.

Helian Hongyi originally wanted to hug her again, but seeing her so defensive, he finally put his hand on the top of her head and touched it, Gu Banqin felt that Helian Hongyi was standing in front of him, like a mountain, so that she didn't dare to look up.

The top of his head was comforted by him like a child, this feeling was really a little strange, what was Helian Hongyi thinking, as he said, was he trying to make up for her?

But why did he make up for it, and what was the starting point?

A series of questions swirled in Gu Banqin's mind, and even when Helian Hongyi left, Gu Banqin didn't know, and sat on the warm couch in a daze, until Caiping came in, she didn't react.

"The emperor is gone?" Gu Banqin stood up from the warm couch and asked the color screen.

"Yes, mother, why didn't you come out to see off?" The color screen replied like this.

Gu Banqin touched the back of her head, smiled vaguely, and then stood up and walked out, seeing this, Caiping saw this: "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”

"My brain is a little messy, so I go to the study and sit down. When Liu Fu came back, she asked her to go to the study to find me. ”

After saying this, Gu Banqin walked out of the dormitory, and Caiping hurriedly went inside and took a mink cloak for Gu Banqin to send out, and chased after Gu Banqin to put it on.

Gu Banqin went to the study, sat on the recliner under the windowsill, took a book and flipped through it, she still had a lot to do, but somehow, she just couldn't get interested, and her mind was very confused.

Closing the book, Gu Banqin stood up and paced in the study, and saw a burden in a space on the bookshelf, Gu Banqin remembered that it was Duan's burden taken back from Cuiwei Courtyard, and she asked the color screen to bring it back and put it away.

Walking over, taking the burden off the bookshelf and placing it on the desk in a hurry, Gu Banqin opened the burden and saw what the Duan family had packed.

At the top were several small packets, each of which contained some broken silver and silver tickets, Gu Banqin looked at them one by one, and found that the Duan family's property was not much.

A few small packets add up, at most, dozens of taels of belongings, it should still be Duan's usual thrift, thinking of Duan's skills, he has been hiding by her side, and he is also in a mother-daughter relationship with Gu Banqin, this kind of thing that can only happen in it, actually happened.

Putting aside the small bag of broken silver, below was Duan's change of clothes, Gu Banqin unfolded a very familiar dress, imagining Duan's appearance in it, but as soon as the clothes shook off, some jingling things fell off.

Gu Banqin thought it was gold and silver jewelry or something, but when she looked down, it was a small dagger and a few slender silver needles, Duan's weapon was a silver needle, a silver needle that quenched poison, Gu Banqin remembered, she didn't dare to grab it with her hands, so she picked up the silver needles and daggers on the ground with a handkerchief and put them aside.

There are also a few pieces of paper, Gu Banqin opened it and looked at it, it was like Duan's household registration, although Duan's concubine was Gu Fengmao's concubine, but the concubine was a little higher than the ordinary slave and maid.

"I don't have a household registration, how can I walk in the country?"

Gu Banqin wondered to herself, feeling that since the Duan family had prepared this household registration, she didn't plan to be a black household, but she didn't come back to get things now, without a household registration certificate, it would be difficult for her to find a job, and she didn't know what to rely on to survive.

However, Gu Banqin felt that a master like the Duan family, even if he didn't work, he shouldn't starve to death.

I flipped through the clothes underneath casually, and felt that there was nothing to look at, and I was about to wrap the burden again, when I suddenly saw a faded tassel at the bottom of the burden out of the corner of my eye, and after turning the clothes over, I found a jade pendant that was hidden by Duan in the hidden pocket of the sleeve of the last piece of clothing.

Jade is a high-grade jade, even Gu Banqin, who does not know how to do it, can see that the jade quality is excellent, as if it contains the moistness of the thin wall and the broken light, the jade pendant is a hollow carving, pick it up and look at it, I feel that the carving looks like an animal texture, but it is too abstract, Gu Banqin can't recognize what it is for a while.
