Gu Yuetong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. Kamiyang Island carry.

Xuanyuan Yan saw her like this, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, you didn't get involved in any thing, otherwise, this palace really doesn't know what to do with you." ”

"Brother Prince! What's going on in our family? The more Gu Yuetong heard this, the more frightened she became, she stepped forward, grabbed Xuanyuan Yan's hand violently, and kept urging.

Xuanyuan Yan glanced down at Gu Yuetong holding his hand, and finally didn't wave it away, he raised his head again, looking directly at the anxiety in Gu Yuetong's eyes, but his tone was extremely cold: "I advise you not to know, because that will not help, it will only bring disaster to you." ”

"I don't believe it! Please, brother prince, tell me, why did my father send my eldest brother to prison? Gu Yuetong shook her head frantically and said, "If you really don't want to tell me, I'll go and ask my father!" ”

"You threaten me?" Xuanyuan Yan waved Gu Yuetong away, and the expression on his face became cold.

Gu Yuetong looked at his appearance, but she was very scared in her heart, she lay there and cried bitterly.

"Why have you never been so worried and sad about your sister?" Xuanyuan Yan looked at her appearance, but sighed deeply, there was pain in his eyes, this time, he finally opened his mouth: "On the day when the two of us returned to the door, Xi'er went to Qingyun Nunnery, but on the way up the mountain, she was chased and intercepted by three or four hundred assassins, fortunately, Uncle Jing Wang was on an errand in Jingzhen, not far away, he got the news, and immediately took people to the rescue, and Xi'er survived." ”

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Yan paused, he turned around and saw that Gu Yuetong was already dumbfounded, so he continued: "But she fell into the water again, and in such a cold weather, she soaked in the water for a whole day and a night!" If it weren't for fate! She's long dead! ”

"Is this true?" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she couldn't help but ask, but there was only deep disappointment on her face, without a trace of regret.

This expression stung Xuanyuan Yan's eyes, and he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Yuetong's collar, and leaned into her ear and shouted, "Why aren't you sad at all?" That's your sister! Why can't you treat her like a son? ”

"She's not my sister! My mother didn't give birth to her! Gu Yuetong pushed Xuanyuan Yan away, and shouted frantically, hoarse.

When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he was immediately stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this?" What do you mean by that? ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she glanced at him coldly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why should I tell you?" The concubine just asked your father why he put my eldest brother in prison, and you refused to say a word, so why should the concubine tell you now? ”

"Didn't I already say it?" Xuanyuan Yan sneered: "Xi'er is in Qingyun Mountain

Shang was assassinated, and his father sent his fourth brother to investigate, and found among the assassins' corpses the descendants of your Hou Mansion, all of whom were your brother's people! That's why he's been sent to prison! ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, her face was like ashes, this matter was too huge, and she couldn't digest it for a while. I couldn't say a word at all.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at her stunned appearance, but smiled coldly and said, "Okay, you can tell me now, why Xi'er is not your sister?" Why do you say that? ”

"Your Highness really wants to know?" Hearing this, Gu Yuetong slowly raised her head.

"It's nature!" Xuanyuan Yan replied immediately.

"Then you come here, and the concubine will tell you!" Gu Yuetong said slowly, and as she spoke, a strange smile appeared on her lips. Xuanyuan Yan immediately walked over, almost standing face-to-face with Gu Yuetong.

Gu Yuetong took another small step forward, and at this moment, she was almost close to Xuanyuan Yan, and the prince immediately felt slightly uncomfortable, at this time. Gu Yuetong slowly opened her mouth and said in a low voice: "Then, Your Highness will intercede with the emperor and let him let my eldest brother go, and I will tell you." ”

When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he immediately pushed her away, turned around and retreated a few steps before slowly standing still, he smiled coldly and said, "So you fought with this idea?" Why should I save him? What's in it for me to save him? Do you know that my father must be angry at this moment, if I really go, maybe even I will be disgusted by my father! ”

"Is Your Highness still out of the way?" Gu Yuetong was pushed away without hesitation, and almost fell to the ground, but she held on to the table to stabilize her figure. But he glanced back at Xuanyuan Yan and sneered: "Long from the moment I married the prince, the Gu family has been closely connected to the East Palace, and my brother has always supported you the prince for so many years, at this time, if you don't save him, who else can there be?" ”

"I said it! It's not good for me! Xuanyuan Yan said coldly.

Gu Yuetong looked at him like this, but couldn't help but feel a little sad and lost, her brother wholeheartedly supported the prince, over the years, he didn't know how many things he had done for him, but now that something happened, he was so indifferent and ruthless!

"Tong'er, don't blame me! If you want to blame it, blame your eldest brother for why he shot at Xi'er! I've told her many times not to touch the stream, but he just won't listen! Now he wants me to save him. It's late! Xuanyuan Yan saw the loss in Gu Yuetong's eyes, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

It's because of Guruoxi again! Why does this person always haunt him! Everywhere in her life, like a ghost with a silver soul that never goes away! Gu Yuetong heard the prince's words, and the hatred for Gu Ruoxi in her heart went up to a new level, and there was almost fire in her eyes!

"Does Your Highness love my little sister so much?" Gu Yuetong asked word by word.

This sentence, Xuanyuan Yan had never answered positively before, for Gu Yuetong, he

Always looked left and said about him, but at this moment, he replied seriously: "Yes! ”

"Why? What do you like about her? Our sisters look almost identical, she has it, and I have it! Gu Yuetong looked at the prince fixedly. Unwillingly: "But there is something in me that she doesn't have!" That's how much I've loved you, Brother Prince, for decades! Little sister, she doesn't love you in the first place, why don't you want to be sober? ”

"But didn't I tell you? I've always treated you as a sister. Xuanyuan Yan took over and said, "But did you listen?" Have you stopped loving me? Why question me when you can't do it yourself! ”

Gu Yuetong could no longer have imagined that Xuanyuan Yan would ask such a question. She stood there, frozen.

Xuanyuan Yan stopped nagging, took a deep breath, raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Yuetong, and said, "Tong'er, this time you will listen to the words of the prince's brother, you don't care about Gu Xiaoye's affairs, because you now represent the East Palace, and Gu Xiaoye represents the Hou Mansion!" We're not tied up yet! As long as you don't interfere, then I can protect you. Got it? ”

"You want me to turn a blind eye to all of this?" Gu Yuetong muttered.

"But didn't I also choose to turn a blind eye to Xi'er?" Xuanyuan Yan laughed at himself and said, "Let's not say anything about anyone, everything is in the interests of the East Palace!" ”

Gu Yuetong heard this, and was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "Isn't it, if I go to help my brother intercede, you will go to see my little sister, yes or no?" ”

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Yan said without hesitation.

"Your Highness, this is a threat?" Gu Yuetong smiled slightly, her smile was extremely miserable: "But has Your Highness thought about it?" If I marry you, then I am your person, how can I put you to death for someone else's sake? Besides, I can't compete with you at all, you're my God! ”

"It's good that you understand that." Xuanyuan Yan said in a deep voice, and sat down in the chair.

"Your Highness is not leaving? Don't go to visit your Concubine Lin or Concubine Li? Gu Yuetong sneered.

"But why didn't you mention Concubine Yao?" Xuanyuan Yan said lightly, but turned his head to look at Gu Yuetong, and said in a deep voice: "I won't leave today, stay with you." ”

This has to be put on hold in the past, Gu Yuetong heard this, maybe how happy she was! It's like the sound of heaven! But at this moment, she had just heard about such a major matter, and her thoughts were chaotic, just when she wanted to sort it out, how could she still have the heart to deal with Xuanyuan Yan?

But, since he wants to stay, where is Gu Yuetong willing to drive him away?

Therefore, after hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Gu Ruoxi's pale face: "Your Highness, are you going to beat a stick to give a sweet date?" I should be grateful to Dade, right? As he spoke, he turned his head and commanded outside, "Come on, come in and change the prince's clothes!" ”

"Nope

A must! Xuanyuan Yan immediately said loudly, as he spoke, he tightened his shirt, glanced at Gu Yuetong and said, "I'll just sit down and leave." ”

"Oh? So that's the case? Gu Yuetong had accepted the fact that Xuanyuan Yan refused to rest with her at this time, since the night of the wedding, the two of them had never shared the same bed, at this time listening to Xuanyuan Yan's words, she had no surprise in her heart, but she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.

Xuanyuan Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said in a deep voice: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that you will be cranky." ”

"Misunderstanding? Brother Prince, do you think of me as your wife? Gu Yuetong suddenly raised her head, her eyes staring at Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at these eyes that were very similar to Gu Ruoxi, he didn't know why, but his heart was tight, he dodged Gu Yuetong's gaze, but turned his head and said, "You are naturally my wife, there is no doubt about it." ”

"It turns out that His Highness has always known?" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she couldn't help laughing, tears flowed down her face, her makeup was spent, and the moment the prince turned her head, she said suddenly: "I'll go wash my face and let me retire." So saying, he turned and went to the inner sanctum.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the back of her leaving, and the emotions in her eyes were very complicated.

Was he too cruel to her?

However, he couldn't control himself at all......

Damn it!

……

Xuanyuan Jingxi spent a whole day returning to the capital, he didn't even go back to the Jingwang Mansion, only sent all the people under his hands back, and he entered the palace alone.

Of course, he went to Cining Palace, didn't Xuanyuan Chun say that the Queen Mother was sick? Even if Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't believe this, he still ran back, and the first person he wanted to see was naturally the Queen Mother.

When the guards at the gate of Cining Palace were clear, Xuanyuan Jingxi strode into the main hall.

The Queen Mother really sat upright, and when she saw Xuanyuan Jingxi coming back, she said with joy on her face: "Jing'er, are you back?" ”

"Sons see the queen mother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't say a word, knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother a few times.

"Hurry up! Get up! The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Every time you come back from outside, you have to kowtow to me, after all these years, you still insist!" ”

"This is the son's filial piety!" Xuanyuan Jingxi also smiled, and as he spoke, he stood up from the ground.

Who knew that the Queen Mother heard this, but she took it and said: "If you really have filial piety, then stay away from the second lady of the Jinye Houfu!" ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his face stiffened slightly.

As soon as Aunt Jingyue saw this scene next to her, she knew that the mother and son might have to talk about it again, so she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to play a round and said, "Queen Mother, look at His Royal Highness King Jing rushing back, he hasn't even changed his clothes yet!" I guess I haven't eaten any food, right? ”

"I didn't eat it!" Xuanyuan Jingxi followed Aunt Jingyue's words.

Jingyue immediately turned her head, looked at the Queen Mother with a smile and said, "Niangniang, everything will be said later, or please ask Your Highness to change clothes, bathe, and eat, okay?" ”

"Done! Just do what you say! "The Queen Mother is the only one son left, and she naturally loves him very much, Jingyue said so, where can she bear to punish him? He didn't get angry at the moment, and followed Jingyue's words and ordered: "Quickly order someone to prepare!" ”

Jing Yue smiled slightly, and said, "Back to Niangniang, these slaves and maids have already ordered them to go down when the palace people reported to His Royal Highness, and they must have been prepared at this time." ”

"That's good! You take him! The Queen Mother said immediately.

"Your Highness, please come with me." Aunt Jingyue smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Xuanyuan Jingxi.

"Then the retainers will retire first." Xuanyuan Jingxi bowed slightly to the Queen Mother, and immediately raised his head and strode towards the inner hall.

He was going to bathe and change clothes in the side hall behind the Cining Palace, which was some distance from the main hall where the Queen Mother lived every day.

Immediately, a palace man followed, leading the way. But Jingyue didn't follow, she stayed in the palace and persuaded the Queen Mother: "Niangniang! The slave and maid said something that should not be said, this mother and son meet each other, it is a happy event, why should you make His Royal Highness King Jing unhappy as soon as you come up? ”

"Humph! Did the mourning family upset him? The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "The mourning family is unhappy in their hearts, but who do they want to say it to?" ”

When Jingyue heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "Niangniang! That's not what His Highness said when he entered the door, did he? If you teach him a lesson at the beginning, it will leave a bad impression on him, and maybe in the future, before entering the palace, he will start to worry that he will not be punished by the queen mother, and maybe he will not even dare to enter the palace ......."

"Humph! He dares! The Queen Mother said angrily, after saying this, she raised her eyes and saw that Jingyue was looking at her steadily, and she immediately sighed and said, "That's it!" There is some truth in what you have to think about, and the mourning family will pay attention to it in the future. ”

"It would be great if the mother could think like this." Jingyue said with a smile.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, but lowered her voice and said, "The mourning family heard that Jing'er was on an errand in Jingzhen this time, and she met the second lady of the Jinye Houfu again!" Why do you think she's gone? Jing'er will run into her wherever she goes! No way! I have to think of a way to keep her away from Jing'er! ”

Jingyue heard these words, and Deng Shi understood that the Queen Mother's temper was still so stubborn, she didn't like anyone, no matter what happened!

What can I do? She didn't dare to persuade her! What if the Queen Mother even punished her?

Jingyue thought about it, but she was helpless, so she had to smile and say: "Niangniang, but the slave maid heard that the second miss Gu went to Qingyun Mountain, not Jingzhen?" ”

"Jingzhen is not far from Qingyun Mountain, only ten miles away!" The Queen Mother does not

I thought it meant it.

But the next moment, she reacted violently: "Ten miles away, isn't it close?" How did Jing'er know that something had happened to that girl? Also, how dare he go over? Oh, my God! ”

"Niangniang, this, I have to ask His Royal Highness King Jing, the slave and maid can't think of it." Jingyue hurriedly said.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she glanced at her and said, "Okay, you go and see if the food in the imperial dining room has been served, the mourning family is also a little hungry, just right, accompany Jing'er to eat a little." ”

"Yes! Mother, the slave and maid will go and prepare. So saying, he stooped down and withdrew.

The Queen Mother sat there, still frowning and pondering.

After a stick of incense, Xuanyuan Jingxi returned.

He changed out of the ink-colored robe and replaced it with a snow-white brocade robe, with silver piping on the neckline and cuffs, luxurious and low-key, and his demeanor was even more charming.

The Queen Mother looked at her handsome and dashing son, and a trace of pride appeared on her face, she beckoned, and smiled at Xuanyuan Jingxi: "Okay, don't stand, go to the side hall with the mourning family, right?" ”

"Yes! Queen mother! Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately responded, said, smiled slightly, and stepped forward to support the queen mother's arm.

The Queen Mother turned around, glared at Xuanyuan Jingxi with a sneer, and followed him to the dining table in the side hall and sat down.

During the meal, the Queen Mother finally didn't say anything to sweep Xuanyuan Jingxi's interest, and Xuanyuan Jingxi ate two bowls of rice in one go.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but eat more.

After the meal, the mother and son just started talking, and the queen mother directly issued an ultimatum: "You are not allowed to go out of the palace these days." ”

"Good!" Xuanyuan Jingxi agreed without thinking about it.
