Su Jinyao snorted, and the thick nasal voice was accompanied by the dryness of her throat, making the voice sound extremely difficult.

"Jinyao, you're awake!" Gu Shangqing's handsome face leaned over, his face was full of anxiety, and his eyes looked at Su Jinyao deeply.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Su Jinyao's face was aggrieved, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

How long has it been since you've been so hungry? Su Jinyao couldn't remember it herself.

Gu Shangqing hurriedly took a bowl from the side, stirred it with a porcelain spoon, and began to feed it to Su Jinyao.

It is a thick rice soup with rock sugar added to it. The taste is sweet and refreshing, with a sweet aroma in the throat.

Su Jinyao felt that she had never drunk such a sweet rice soup, and drank it in a big gulp, swallowing so quickly that she almost choked.

"Jinyao, slow down." Gu Shangqing had no choice but to fill a little less rice soup in each spoonful, lest Su Jinyao really choke on it too quickly.

Su Jinyao took a few mouthfuls of porridge, and her head was able to turn around, and she hurriedly asked, "Brother, where is Gu Xuebin?" ”

It stands to reason that Gu Xuebin should be tightened by his side when he fainted, why did he only see Gu Shangqing, but not Gu Xuebin?

"He ......" Gu Shangqing's expression was extremely serious, so serious that Su Jinyao's heart jumped wildly.

She sat up suddenly, feeling dizzy. However, he still grabbed Gu Shangqing's wrist and asked, "Brother, this is not a joke." Tell me, what about Gu Xuebin? ”

Gu Shangqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, my brother-in-law is fine, he went to take the order." ”

Pick-up? What is the purpose? Su Jinyao's expression became more and more confused.

Gu Shangqing put the bowl in his hand aside, so as not to be spilled by Su Jinyao with the rest of the porridge. Then he pressed Su Jinyao's shoulder and asked, "Do you know how long you've been in a coma?" ”

"Three days? Or four or five days? Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes and shook her head. But she remembered the events before she fell unconscious very clearly, but after that, it was completely broken.

No matter how much training she had before, she really couldn't accurately calculate the time of this coma.

Gu Shangqing sighed and said, "Then do you know where you are now?" ”

Su Jinyao turned her head to look around, and found that she was not resting in a cave, nor was she the marching tent she had lived in before, but a big house.

This house is not very ornate, but from the furniture point of view, it is also a rich family. Where is this?

Su Jinyao frowned, shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Gu Shangqing helped Su Jinyao lie down and said, "Jinyao, this is the Taishou Mansion of Hefeng City, and you have been in a coma for eleven days." You're going to scare us all to death. ”

Eleven days! No wonder I'm so hungry

, no wonder after waking up, the whole body is sore, soft, it turns out that the time of lying down is too long, the muscles have lost their elasticity.

Gu Shangqing said: "That night, we saw the firelight and smelled the fireworks. But there were at least two mountains apart, and we hurried through the night and it was almost dawn. After making sure that it was you below, we dug for nearly a day before we dug a passage. ”

Although what Gu Shangqing said is simple, it is necessary to open a skylight on the hollow cave to save people, and to prevent the falling soil and stones from hurting the people below, the difficulty of this project can be imagined.

After rescuing Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao, it began to rain again. The four of them were all seriously injured, and Gu Shangqing didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately sent them to Hefeng City.

And Su Jinyao has also been in a coma, and she has found several doctors in Hefeng City but has not seen anything wrong. It's just that the body is too weak and needs to rest well. When it's time to wake up, you'll wake up.

Gu Xuebin was so anxious that he immediately mobilized the local military order and rushed to the capital to pick up Mr. Cheng from Yafu.

Mr. Cheng traveled day and night and arrived here two days ago. After he showed it to Su Jinyao, he also said that it was fine, as long as he rested more. Gu Xuebin was relieved at this time.

However, the use of military orders is not a trivial matter, unless it is an urgent military matter. Now that Gu Xuebin did this, he naturally alarmed the emperor, so the holy decree just now arrived.

What's worse is that Gu Xuebin shouldn't have been here in the first place. He dropped the task of escorting the princess of Tianze Kingdom and ran here, which was equivalent to escaping from the battle.

I'm afraid that the coercion of this holy decree must be not small now, and Gu Xuebin, the prince, is afraid that he will be in big trouble.

Su Jinyao took a few breaths when she heard this, but she was helpless.

She had come to relieve the disaster on the orders of the emperor, and by the way, she inspected the area where the canal might be opened; I just didn't expect such an accident.

But thinking about it again, if Gu Xuebin hadn't arrived in time with her, it was really hard to predict whether Su Jinyao would be able to return with her whole body now.

It's not that Su Jinyao can't believe Gu Shangqing, it's just that Gu Shangqing is her brother after all. The kind of mind that can live and die together may exist, but it will definitely not be as decisive as Gu Xuebin.

If you want to blame it, you can only blame the earthquake that came at the wrong time. It's just that I don't know if the emperor will blame all the mistakes on the earthquake and open up to Gu Xuebin.

Seeing that Su Jinyao was thoughtful, Gu Shangqing picked up the bowl again, took a spoonful of rice soup and sent it to Su Jinyao's mouth, and said, "These days, my brother-in-law has always been by your side. Feed water and porridge every day, for fear that you will be hungry. But sometimes you are in a coma, and you can't drink the porridge water, so your brother-in-law will give you little by little. Drink some more, you'll wake up after he's gone for a while, and you'd better be refreshed when he comes back. ”

Su Jinyao was naturally extremely moved when she heard this, nodded and slowly drank the rice soup again.

This time, the whole bowl of rice soup was served, and Su Jinyao's face slowly became ruddy.

It was not for nothing that she woke up hungry before. After being in a coma for eleven days, she was only maintained by a small amount of liquid food, which was really a loss to her good health.

Gu Shangqing was just about to put away the bowl when he heard footsteps outside the door.

Su Jinyao also heard the familiar footsteps, and there was a door through them, so she shouted, "Che, don't worry, I'm awake." ”

You can never be wrong

It would be better if Su Jinyao didn't shout, but when he shouted like this, Gu Xuebin became even more anxious when he heard Su Jinyao's voice. He didn't expect that he was just a kung fu to receive a holy decree, and he didn't let Jin Yao wake up and see himself at the first glance.

Hurriedly pushed the door in, and Gu Xuebin almost threw himself directly to the side of the bed.

"Jinyao, you're finally awake." Gu Xuebin's voice was choked, and his big hand trembled slightly, touching Su Jinyao's cheek. The movement was gentle, as if it was afraid of being broken.

"Worries you. I'm all right. Su Jinyao hooked her lips and smiled, and stretched out her hand towards Gu Xuebin.

Her little hand touched Gu Xuebin's thin cheeks, and her beautiful face became more and more rigid and charming because of her thin cheeks and raised cheekbones.

"Silly girl, I'm afraid you're as you should. However, I feel more sorry for you. A tear rolled down the corner of Gu Xuebin's eye.

He tilted his head slightly, and the teardrop fell on Su Jinyao's hand and rolled into her palm. The tears are crystal clear, with a clear coolness.

"You're stupid, this, why are you still shedding tears." Su Jinyao looked at her palm, the tears had melted into her palm, turning into a small piece of shallow and round water.

Gu Xuebin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly shook his head and rubbed the wetness off the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's not crying, it's not tears, it's so happy." Happy, happy to swim in the water. ”

"Poof" Gu Shangqing couldn't help laughing, and said: "I've only heard of the joy of bubbling, but I haven't heard of the joy of bubbling water." ”

Gu Xuebin raised his eyes slightly, glared at Gu Shangqing, and then said, "Big brother, you are also tired these days, it's time to rest." ”

"No, I'm not as tired as you." Gu Shangqing said, and walked out. As he walked, he said, "Since you're tired, just take a good rest." My sister just woke up and doesn't have much energy, so you can sleep a little longer. Sleep, sleep, sleep. ”

After speaking, Gu Shangqing had already withdrawn from the door and closed the door.

Gu Shangqing was so knowledgeable, Gu Xuebin's heart was happy, and he immediately got up and wanted to go to bed.

But as soon as he sat on the edge of the bed, Gu Shangqing pushed the door back again. As a result, Gu Xuebin was shocked and quickly stood up again.

Gu Shangqing said with a smile: "I'm here to collect the bowl." You go on, go on. ”

Gu Xuebin reached out and grabbed the bowl on the side and threw it at Gu Shangqing.

Gu Shangqing hurriedly grabbed it, pinched the bowl and turned to leave. I didn't forget to close the door this time.

When Gu Shangqing's footsteps were completely far away, Gu Xuebin sighed, took off his shoes and fell on the edge of the bed.

He held his head in one hand and hugged Su Jinyao in his arms with the other, and said, "Big brother is also tired these days. I knew very well that he would never be any less anxious and guilty than I was. It's just that he still needs to preside over the overall situation, so he will carry everything down and let me concentrate on accompanying you. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, shrunk into Gu Xuebin's arms, and said, "I know, you are all for me." In the future, I will never be so willful again. ”

"Silly girl, although you are willful, we didn't do well and didn't protect you." Gu Xuebin gently ran Su Jinyao's hair and said, "You are not wrong, you will never be wrong." You want to help the people is kindness, you want to save Feng Zhongjing and your companions is friendship, you have taken a lot of risks and been injured so badly, but none of them are because of yourself. Silly girl, you're really good, and you're not wrong at all. ”

Su Jinyao originally thought that Gu Xuebin would blame herself, blame herself for running to such a dangerous place, blame herself for making a decision to stay and save people. Unexpectedly, he felt that he was too good.

Su Jinyao smiled, but the corners of her eyes were also moist. She nestled deeply into Gu Xuebin's arms and muttered: "I know, I will still do whatever I want in the future, leaving a pile of messes for you to clean up." ”

"Haha" Gu Xuebin smiled and pressed the back of Su Jinyao's head, reluctant to exert a little force, and then said with a smile: "I can't ask for it, it's an honor." It is also an indescribable honor to be able to clean up the mess for Jinyao for the rest of his life. ”

Su Jinyao raised her face, and when she saw that Gu Xuebin's smile was really so sincere and bright, she couldn't help but cover his lips.

But the two of them didn't toss much, so they hugged each other and fell asleep.

Gu Xuebin is guarding Su Jinyao these days, and it is needless to say that he is worried and laborious, so he quickly slept quietly.

Su Jinyao was very relieved to nest in Gu Xuebin's arms, so she also slept for a while.

However, Su Jinyao woke up first, quietly looked at the handsome face in front of her, and recalled the time when the two of them were in the groundwater together, and she really had palpitations.

Maybe it was because Su Jinyao's breathing rate changed when she woke up, and Gu Xuebin quickly opened her eyes.

But Gu Xuebin watched Su Jinyao for a full quarter of an hour before coming back to his senses, and finally believed that Su Jinyao had woken up, and hugged Su Jinyao tightly in his arms again.

"What, sleepy? I don't remember waking up. Su Jinyao looked at Gu Xuebin's surprised and panicked eyes just now, and also guessed his mind.

Gu Xuebin let out a sullen "um", and then said: "For so many days, I have been looking forward to you every day and every hour looking forward to you being like this, opening your eyes to look at me, talking to me, and smiling at me. ”

"You're the fool." Su Jinyao's heart is full of sweetness, and it is more happiness.

But soon she remembered something, and hurriedly pushed Gu Xuebin and asked, "I forgot to ask just now, what does my father's holy decree mean?" If you run away like this, your father will definitely blame you. ”

In fact, Gu Xuebin didn't just run away, plus during the period when Su Jinyao was in a coma, Gu Xuebin left his post without permission for nearly a month.

Gu Xuebin pursed his lips, as if he didn't intend to answer the question. Instead, he diverted the topic and said, "Jinyao, you must be very hungry after lying down for so long." I'll have someone cook you some porridge. After speaking, Gu Xuebin was about to get up immediately.

"Che." Su Jinyao grabbed Gu Xuebin's hand and asked seriously, "Shouldn't you let me know the truth?" Or do you think I don't have the capacity to do it with you? ”

"Actually...... There is nothing to afford. Gu Xuebin smiled, took Su Jinyao into his arms, put his face against her, and said softly: "You just need to remember that I am your husband, and you are my daughter-in-law." ”

This sentence made Su Jinyao's heart suddenly understand that the responsibility that Gu Xuebin has to bear is definitely not light. Maybe even ......

Without waiting for Su Jinyao to continue to speculate, Gu Xuebin said: "It's just that I don't want to be a prince." Jinyao, I still have you, we still have a fiefdom, we can go and live a comfortable little life. ”

Su Jinyao frowned, trying to digest the meaning of Gu Xuebin's words.

Cut off the crown prince

"What do you mean...... Just don't be a prince? Su Jinyao said in disbelief: "You mean, my father has demoted you to a commoner?" ”

Isn't it all the way it is done on TV? Such a bloody plot is so bad that the emperor can think of it.

Gu Xuebin rubbed Su Jinyao's hair, shook his head and said, "It's just that the position of the prince has been removed, and he has not been demoted to a commoner." I am the Marquis of Anping Bei, and my fief is in Mobei, not far from my uncle's military camp. ”

What kind of special Anping Beihou, this is simply throwing Gu Xuebin to a place where birds don't.

And although he is with his uncle, this just proves his determination to give up Gu Xuebin completely.

Both of the uncle and nephew were exiled, and no one in the capital was reliable, so how could Gu Xuebin have a chance to go back?

This is different from when my uncle fled the capital with Gu Xuebin. When he left Beijing, Gu Xuebin was secretly taken away by his uncle, and his explanation to the emperor was to treat the prince.

And for so many years, although there has been news of the disappearance of the prince, Gu Xuebin is still the rightful prince.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Xuebin returned to the capital from Pingshan Village, he naturally sat on the throne of the crown prince, and even the covetousness of the second prince could only be incorrect and unreasonable.

Now it's different, the emperor directly issued a holy decree to the world, depriving Gu Xuebin of the crown prince.

"That's it? Nothing else? Su Jinyao always felt that things might not be so simple.

Gu Xuebin tilted his head and thought about it, pretending to be very serious and said, "Also, move out of the prince's mansion in the capital for a limited time." And your Yafu too...... It's going to be blocked. In the future, when we return to Beijing, we must report thirty miles outside the capital, and if my father allows us to enter Beijing, we can go back. ”

"Hiss" Su Jinyao squinted her eyes and shook her head slowly, she didn't expect things to become so serious.

It is understandable to move out of the prince's mansion if you don't become a prince, but you also sealed the Yafu, which is to cut off the foundation of Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao in the capital.

And after leaving, he is not allowed to return to Beijing without authorization, and he will ask for a decree when he returns to Kyoto, which is for fear that Gu Xuebin will have a rebellion.

In other words, they have to go back to the capital to pack their things now, and after leaving the capital, they may never be able to go back.

Su Jinyao hurriedly broke free from Gu Xuebin's arms, sat opposite him, sat up straight and asked him seriously, "Is there anything else?" You tell me this one at a time. ”

"In the sense of the decree, there is no more." Gu Xuebin shook his head seriously, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Su Jinyao frowned and asked, "Then should we ask the Queen Mother's grandmother what she meant?" ”

Gu Xuebin shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "Actually, the imperial grandmother doesn't particularly care about our children and grandchildren. What she cares about most is Tianqi. ”

Yes, the emperor is not born to the queen mother, does she care about Gu Xuebin's grandson? It is Helian Tianqi who cares most about the queen mother.

Su Jinyao had to think about other directions again, and then said, "Or go back and ask my grandfather?" “

The Gu family has already made a stand and wants to stand on the side of the prince. But now that the crown prince has suddenly fallen, maybe the Gu family can in turn become Gu Xuebin's backer?

There is also the Feng family, Feng Shusheng does not look like a person who will fall into the well. So will Feng Shusheng still stand on Gu Xuebin's side?

and Feng Zhongjing, this time, Su Jinyao also found that Feng Zhongjing's attitude was "right things and not people". He has to do things for a clear reason and is very measured. Feng Zhongjing is with them now, will he go all the way with Gu Xuebin?

As soon as Su Jinyao said her thoughts, Gu Xuebin laughed.
