"Fourth Brother ......"

"You really don't understand what that affection means to me." Gong Hao's gentle expression gradually became painful, and his closed eyes seemed to escape the past that had been in his mind, "The third brother treats me like a mountain, and I can't push him away." And I hate myself... I hated myself for never being able to promise him the same affection. ”

Over the years, the third brother has repeatedly refused his father's marriage regardless of his reputation. And the fourth brother, although you linger in fireworks and drink and play tricks, like the third brother, never mention marriage. ”

"I can't give him back what he expects, so I can only do it in this way, but I can make up for it a little bit, pay it back. He never entered my heart, but I had to lock the door so that no one else could enter. I was in front of him, cautiously, searching between honesty and closure, trying to find a compromise that would not hurt both of us. ”

"You—" Miyahata stopped talking, "I never knew about these things. ”

"Naturally, you don't know, and the third brother won't know, this is a torture that belongs to me alone." Gong Hao gradually opened his closed eyes, "So, you know how much I envy you. Seeing that you can be in love with your sweetheart, I saw the long-suppressed vision in my heart. I don't want others to lose what I can't get myself. ”

"So, you decided that Gui Hotaru and I really love each other and have no intention of participating in your disputes, so you let us go?"

"Say whatever you want." Gong Hao smiled miserably, "Although I didn't expect you to have the intention of seizing the prince at the time, I never thought that you had already planted your minions and pushed Lihou to the third brother. ”

"Our affairs have nothing to do with Master Hou, what are you pulling him out for?" I frowned and said, "At that time, there was chaos in the cold, and you instigated the ministers of the DPRK to strongly recommend the palace banner to lead the army to the south, or I went to beg the Hou Ye and begged his old man to find a way to protect the palace flag!" ”

Gong Mi smiled treacherously: "Lian Gui Ying, when the ministers of the DPRK and China unanimously recommended Gong Hao, how did you think that it was caused by me and the third brother's instigation?" ”

As Gong Hao spoke, Sen Leng's gaze slowly moved to Gong Hao. I couldn't help but follow him to look at Miyaha's face, but I saw him look back at Miyaha's face for a moment, and finally burst out laughing.

It seems that the fourth brother has found out again. Yes, the courtiers who recommended me at the beginning were all instructed by me. ”

"I haven't found out yet, but it's true that I and my third brother didn't do it; The boss didn't have such a plan; Looking at Lian Gui Ying's reaction, it is obvious that it is not her handiwork. So I speculated that maybe it was a good play directed and acted by you, a weak and simple fifth prince. ”

Gong Wan didn't look at the smug smile on Gong Hao's face, and only nodded slowly: "Fourth brother is smart." ”

"It's just that I don't understand, at that time, you had no prestige in the court, how could those ministers be willing to listen to your mercy?"

"Naturally, they won't be at my mercy. If I want to achieve my goal, I can only place people around them, blow the wind from time to time, and only say that I will show favor to Donggong and the third brother by recommending me. It is the nature of the world to bully the weak and fear the hard, and they are naturally reluctant to use me, an insignificant fifth prince, for their own stable future. ”

"I see, it's a good idea."

"But... But why would you do that? I couldn't help it any longer, and asked in a trembling voice with the hand that pulled the palace flag, "How dangerous were you at that time, if it wasn't for me asking for help, if it wasn't for the Hou Ye sacrificing himself in order to fulfill us, wouldn't you really push yourself into the fire pit!" ”

"Gui Hotaru, you still don't know enough about my brother. Since he has this move, he naturally calculates that it will not affect himself. Gong Hao smiled at me in a sarcastic tone, "Don't you still understand that he worked hard to lay out such a big situation, and it was actually you who calculated?" ”

I saw Miyahata's cold gaze suddenly stabbing at Miyahata like a sharp sword. My heart tightened, and I felt a little suffocated for no reason: "What are you talking about?" ”

"You actually got it, didn't you? Banner is sure that you are anxious and panicked after learning that the court recommended him to go south, and you will inevitably go to Lihou for help! ”

"Shut up—"

"-He just calculated accurately, Lihou treats you like a treasure in his heart, even if he doesn't care about the life or death of his five princes, for the sake of you, a righteous daughter, he has to relieve him from the siege and ask himself to go out on his behalf!" Gong Hao's constricted pupils trembled extremely violently, "His ultimate purpose is to warn Lihou in this way: His five princes have scheming and skill, if you Lihou don't belong to my camp again, you can only let me fish and meat!" ”

"Shut up!"

It was as if my heart was clenched by a big hand, and I fell back weakly. Miyahata was startled, hurriedly grabbed my waist, and said with concern: "Gui Hotaru, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Is what he said true?"

"Return to Hotaru..."

"Did you incite the courtiers to recommend you to the south, calculating me and the marquis?"

"I didn't think to calculate you!" A rare panicked look appeared on Miyahata Junyi's face, "I just want to use this way to let Lihou recognize my strength and let him stand on my side like you!" ”

"His trick is beautiful, which not only makes you feel distressed, but also makes my father think that he is being bullied and calculated everywhere. I believe that Lihou pretended to show favor to the third brother before he set out on the expedition, which was also his instruction. ”

Gong Hao ignored Gong Hao's sadness, and continued to say in a cold tone, "This time, he forced Lihou to submit, but he also gave the third brother a chance to breathe, and found the Five Immortals Sect Zhu Yutang to make the epidemic poison and disperse it in Kazhou. However, no matter how loud the commotion outside, he also understands that compared to his dark tricks, even if the third brother's sword and gun are menacing, there will be a way to resolve it. ”

"Did you say enough?"

Seeing that Gong Hao was angry, he became more and more fanatical and excited: "At that time, we poisoned your meal, so that you had a pox rash similar to the epidemic. But Man'er tasted the sweetness from the Southern Expedition, and it is expected that you will be able to deal with this kind of trivial matter by yourself, even if you can't, Lihou will make a move sooner or later. So he stayed out of the way, concentrating on exchanging letters with the Marquis of Li, who was in the south, constantly monitoring the situation of the chills, and constantly informing him of your movements in the city of Kazhou. ”

"Miyahata ......"

"Gui Hotaru, I'm sorry, I really wanted to save you from the predicament at that time, you believe me!" Miyahata gave up looking at the smug Miyahata, turned his head and hugged my shoulders and whispered, "But after the incident of the ferocious flames on the Wanshou Festival, I felt that my father was already suspicious of me. At this sensitive time, I really can't take the risk of taking action in person, so I can only ask Lihou and your friends in Taopinlou to save you! ”

"Peach Sales Building... It turns out that Sarong and Duan Ming, that's also your ......"

"He just watched from the wall like this, and you found Zhu Yutang step by step, Muscle and Bone Grass, Lianyue Mountain... You are also angry, things originally went so smoothly according to his plan, until ......" the corners of Gong Hu's mouth pulled upward, "Until the front of the Xuan Palace, the boss found out about your ambiguity for the first time." ”

"You said the palace is ......"

Gong Hao turned his head and glanced at Gong Wei again: "No matter how reckless a man is, he also has an indescribable intuition about his beloved. You don't understand this, but you do. I guess after that time, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. So, I guessed, there was a drama when the cold grain and grass were in an emergency, and the courtiers instructed the five princes to transport grain. Isn't it, Banner? ”

Gong Hao's eyes were already full of manic anger when he stared at Gong Hao, but he only bit his cheeks, and never denied Gong Hao's speculation.

"Looks like I guessed right again. The eighteen-story ghost prison is dark and silent, but it can make people calm down and think about many things in the past. Gong Yu shook his head drunkenly, "So you want to escape the boss's persecution by going south." I didn't want to, but I was intercepted and killed by the third brother, which involved the matter of being exiled in Taopinlou later. ”

"Sure enough, it's you. I didn't know it at the time, and I thought it was my eldest brother who killed me. ”

"Then you are a thief, although the boss values Lian Guiying, but in the end he is stupid and generous, and he has no evidence, how can he attack his own brother?"

Gong Yu laughed playfully and pitifully: "However, he is the only one who is lenient to his brother." That night, you were hit by Li Yuan in Taopinlou, and you panicked even more, for fear that the boss would kill you because of jealousy and hatred. So you acted late at night, took the first step, bloodbathed the outer mansion, and planted the East Palace in a catastrophe. ”

I listened to Gong Hu's words, and my mind was already rolling like thunder, and a fire burned numb. A cold tear regained consciousness, and I looked at Miyahata in a trance, and in the fog, his eyes were like dusty lake water, a little dragonfly, spreading ripples.

But there are only ripples.

Silently, without a trace.

"You said that you did it to the palace because I complained to you, and you were afraid that I would be bullied by him in the prince's mansion......"

"Of course I... Gui Hotaru—"

"He is afraid that you will be humiliated, or that he will be in trouble. I have to say that his plan was seamless, not only did his rhetoric have no flaws, but he also found the backhand of Imperial Doctor Geng and Lihou. After Gong Wei was imprisoned, the third brother sent Fang Zhiyun to make perjury, and he seemed helpless, but in fact, he had already rushed thousands of miles to recall Lihou to Kazhou. ”

"Master Hou was called back by you, so... Those handwritten with my handwriting ......"

"Tang Tang and Lihou can be used by him, what is a mere handwriting?" Gong Hao sneered, "It's not just that thousands of miles to help, I'm afraid that when a vision falls from the sky, the ministers will execute you, and he also instructed the Marquis of Li to bear the ominous name for you!" ”

"I didn't! Gui Ying, don't listen to him provoke, that time it happened suddenly, and I didn't have a chance to go to Lihou at all. Taking the blame on himself is completely his own mind! ”

Miyahata unconsciously used both hands to grasp my shoulders painfully: "If I am in charge of everything, how can I let them put the blame on me, causing my mother to sacrifice herself to protect my life!" ”

"Even so, after Concubine Yingniang passed away, wasn't it also you who planned and calculated, teamed up with Zhuo Ying, and used Wanqiu as bait to frame Gong Wei and Gong Hao?"

Miyahata's hand clenching my shoulder fell unconsciously, and his fiery eyes instantly lost their temperature. In those eyes that were gradually covered with a thin layer of ice, I saw my tear-stained face slowly blurring until it dissipated.
