As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Gu Ruoxi who was sitting on the bed, smiled slightly, and said, "Xi'er, then I ask you, are you willing to marry my fourth son, Xuanyuan Chun?" ”

"You've seen people too, and I'm following your advice now." The emperor said slowly.

Gu Ruoxi heard this, but raised his head and glanced at the emperor.

He's testing himself!

Gu Ruoxi felt it, if Jinye Hou loved himself and even had to ask his opinion about marriage was an anomaly, then the emperor asked his opinion again and again before giving the marriage, isn't he an anomaly?

This behavior is strange!

No matter how she answers, the emperor will have a statement.

Gu Ruoxi retracted her eyes, lowered her head and quickly calculated in her heart, how would she answer so that she would not leak?

"How? It's not a difficult question, is it? The emperor glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said slowly: "You just need to say whether you are willing or unwilling, why do you have to think so much?" ”

"Your Majesty! That's not the way it is said! Jin Ye waited on the side and hurriedly started a round: "Xi'er and the fourth prince have only met once, and they don't know anything about him at all, how can they know if they like it or not?" Why don't you delay this for a while? ”

"It's already a mercy for me to let them meet." The emperor slowly turned his head, glanced at Jinye Hou, and said without shock: "Let them meet again, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty should gossip, and when the time comes, Xi'er will not marry, but also have to marry!" As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Ruoxi felt that the emperor's smile at her was very meaningful. She raised her head and glanced at the emperor, and suddenly said firmly, "I am willing." ”

I do, I don't. These two words, just turned over and over many times in Gu Ruoxi's heart, and when they came out, they were the ones who violated their hearts the most. Shangfeng Touba.

The emperor is testing her, so why doesn't she test him?

The old man in the dragon robe in front of him, if he really had thoughts about her that he shouldn't have, then he would definitely not have contributed to this. Today, whether Gu Ruoxi said yes or no, the result is the same.

In that case, why didn't she test him?

If she said she was unwilling, would the emperor think that she rejected the four princes for the sake of Xuanyuan Jingxi? At that time, if the emperor kills Xuanyuan Jingxi, it will not be good.

He was so good to her, how could she bear to put him in danger?

"Would you like to?" When the emperor heard this, he was slightly surprised.

Gu Ruoxi quickly pulled out of his thoughts, put on a shy posture and said: "The fourth prince is young and promising, how many girls are in their spring boudoir dreams, if you can marry him as a wife, this is a blessing that Xi'er cultivated in her previous life......"

The emperor quietly looked at the shy woman in front of him, listening to the words in her ears that went against her will

, but the lips were slowly hooked, revealing a smile full of mockery.

She really defends Xuanyuan Jingxi! Are you afraid that you will hold a grudge against him?

After a long time, he said lightly: "It would be great if you could think like this, okay, I know what you mean, and when I go back and ask the queen and Chun'er, I will give you an answer." ”

At first glance, the emperor's attitude was very considerate and took everyone's intentions into account, but Gu Ruoxi knew that he was looking for excuses.

Because the emperor would never give this decree of marriage.

Maybe she didn't want to marry the fourth prince in the first place, so it was exactly what she wanted. Thinking about it, Gu Ruoxi raised his head, smiled at the emperor, and said, "It's all up to the emperor." ”

Jin Ye Hou was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know what to say at this time, he was completely confused by Gu Ruoxi.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly spoke: "By the way, I have found out that those assassins on Qingyun Mountain have nothing to do with Gu Xiaoye, he sent those people, in fact, to help Xi'er, but they were misunderstood as assassins, and now, I have taken him out of the prison, Jinhou, wait a minute, you will put him in a good place, and you must not treat him badly." ”

"What, what?" When Kazuha Hou heard this, he was immediately taken aback.

Not only him, but even Gu Ruoxi was extremely surprised, and the eyes of both of them turned to the emperor, their eyes full of doubts.

Gu Ruoxi clearly knew that the people who assassinated her that day were Gu Xiaoye and Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu, but the emperor said today that this was none of Gu Xiaoye's business! What the hell is going on?

"I found out clearly, it turned out that the person who attacked Xi'er that day was the subordinate of Nalan, the leader of the Hui tribe in the border pass. Three years ago, Hou Ye personally led a large army to attack the Hui and killed Nalan's son, I don't know when, his people quietly sneaked into Kyoto and ambushed on Qingyun Mountain, in order to avenge the murder of the son. The emperor said lightly.

This is obviously, okay? When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart. She saw that the emperor didn't want to find out about the matter, and he didn't want to give her justice, he wanted to protect Prince Lian, so he even took Gu Xiaoye!

Does this man have a hole in his brain? Is there a pit?

Gu Ruoxi wanted to ask the emperor this, but she couldn't hold back.

But Jinye Hou on the side couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, are you sure that it was really someone from the Hui tribe who sneaked into the capital, not a heinous crime committed by Xiao'er?" ”

"Nature has nothing to do with the world!" The emperor said, but he turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Didn't Xi'er say it just now?" There are no weak soldiers under a strong general, so how can such an excellent person as Jinhou give birth to a son who is ruthless and even has to deal with his own sister? It's impossible, Xi'er, don't you say? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he raised his head and looked at the emperor fixedly

The emperor's eyes suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "What the emperor said is that I have always believed that my brother is innocent, and so must my father." ”

"That's good!" As he spoke, the emperor stood up, and said as he walked out: "It's not too early, I should go back to the palace, by the way, Jinhou, don't forget to take care of Ye Zhishizi!" In addition, you should hurry up and send more people to survey near the capital in the next few days, in case there are still any Hui assassins left? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, Weichen knows! Jin Ye Hou hurriedly followed, and while sending each other, he answered. Gradually, the figures of the two people disappeared outside the door.

At this moment, Gu Ruoxi suddenly chuckled and said: "It's really strange, the Hui people assassinated me, but the people who died were all the people of Dayuan, could it be that they colluded with the people of Dayuan?" For the sake of insurance, the emperor should even survey the common people of Dayuan! ”

The emperor, who had already walked out of the house, was stunned at his feet.

However, the next moment, he continued to walk away as if he hadn't heard.

In the room, the smile on Gu Ruoxi's face faded little by little.

Amber used her inner rim until she found that all the hidden guards brought by the emperor had disappeared outside the door, then she turned around and said to Gu Ruoxi: "Miss! Now what? It seems that the emperor not only did not punish the prince, but he was also ready to protect him! ”

"Of course I can see it." Gu Ruoxi raised his head and glanced at Amber, and sighed: "This result is really beyond my expectations. ”

"Even the prince never expected it!" Amber sighed: "He told me that it was good to wait and see, but I didn't expect that the emperor would release Gu Shizi so quickly!" No way! I have to tell the prince! So saying, he turned and left.

"Come back!" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly shouted.

Amber stopped, turned to Gu Ruoxi and asked, "Miss, what else do you have to say to the prince?" ”

"I'm telling you not to go yet!" Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "I guess, the emperor must have sent someone to monitor the contact between my side and King Jing's side, as soon as you go to King Jing's mansion, he will know that you are the prince's person, maybe, he will send someone to get rid of you, then in this way, I will no longer be able to get in touch with the prince." ”

"So what should I do?" Amber said anxiously.

Gu Ruoxi thought for a moment and said lightly: "Don't worry, things haven't developed to the worst step yet, let's wait and see how it gets better." ”

"Why do you say the same thing to the prince?" Amber sighed and said.

However, Gu Ruoxi smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not so bad, at most, the emperor is unwilling to help, we just need to take revenge on our own." ”

Amber looked at her determined expression, and couldn't help but move in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "So, miss, what are you going to do?" ”

"Take your time, don't rush. Now the Hou Mansion is happening

There are enough things, and the eyes of the people in the capital are focused on our house, so it is really not appropriate to make a disturbance at this time. Gu Ruoxi pondered for a moment and said, "We can only wait, and when we have the opportunity, we will wipe out the enemy!" ”

Gu Xiaoye was already about to put her to death, why should she show mercy?

Amber listened quietly, her expression thoughtful.

After that, Jin Yehou didn't come to visit Gu Ruoxi again, he was busy going to Ye Zhi Gu Xiaoye according to the emperor's instructions, no matter whether what the emperor said was true or not, in his father's heart, he still hoped that this matter would not have anything to do with Gu Xiaoye, right?

The biological son wants to kill his biological daughter, which is a deep disaster for Jinye Hou.

It wasn't until the evening that Amber took the time to report the news to Xuanyuan Jingxi, but what he didn't expect was that he was not surprised at all.

"The emperor released Gu Xiaoye, and secretly summoned Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu, when he came out of the Qianqing Palace, he was already blue and swollen, and there were traces of the board on his body, I knew these things early on." Xuanyuan Jingxi said sarcastically: "So many people died, such a big case, the emperor planted the blame on the Hui people in a few words, is this to provoke disputes between the two countries?" ”

"But he doesn't want to avenge Miss Gu Er, but that's for sure!" Amber frowned.

"Nope! There must be other reasons that can prompt the emperor to make this decision! Xuanyuan Jingxi said word by word: "He has another purpose!" ”

"What could it be?" Amber asked.

Xuanyuan Jingxi shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced up at Amber and said, "Tell Xi'er about this situation and see what she says." ”

"My subordinates will tell her." Amber said hurriedly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded and said, "Go back quickly!" Be careful not to be spotted on the road. ”

Amber nodded, and immediately stepped back silently.

Xuanyuan Jingxi stood alone in the room, squinting his eyes, and the expression on his face was a little unhappy.

Gu Ruoxi actually said in front of the emperor that she was willing to marry Xuanyuan Chun! Whether she made this compromise to test the emperor or to protect him. Xuanyuan Jingxi was not happy. But he didn't want to lose his temper in front of his subordinates, so when he was alone, he vented all this emotion.

I have to say that Xuanyuan Jingxi is a cautious man.

……

Jinye Hou Mansion, Gu Ruoxi was sick in bed, so he didn't visit the lively scene of Gu Xiaoye's return, since the emperor had spoken, how dare Jinye Hou not do it? Besides, in his selfish heart, he also hoped that this matter had nothing to do with his son.

The bustle in the front yard has been spread to the back, Gu Ruoxi is now not in Luomei Ju, but in Zhiyu Courtyard, this courtyard is located not far from the edge of the Jinye Hou study, very close to the second gate. cause

In addition, Gu Ruoxi sat in the room and heard it clearly.

Liuli stood beside Gu Ruoxi with a black face and said nothing, this was the first time she showed her unhappiness in front of Gu Ruoxi after returning from the adventure.

"Liuli, don't worry, one day, I will think of punishing Gu Xiaoye and avenge the dead Jin Se Mingxiang and others!" Gu Ruoxi gently stretched out her hand and held Liuli's wrist, and said softly: "If you are sad in your heart, just cry out, holding it in your heart will suffocate a person." ”

Hearing this, Liuliwa, who had been holding on for so many days, cried very sadly.

"Miss! You name it! Why is it that there are always people who are willing to protect them behind the scenes of these bad deeds? This time, not only Jin Se and Mingxiang died miserably, but even you, Miss, suffered so much! Isn't the emperor very fond of you, Miss? But why did he save the world? ”

This was a childish question. It's a bit aggressive, but Ruri's face is full of sadness.

Gu Ruoxi stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and said softly: "Liuli, outsiders don't know about our family's grievances, so it's not wrong to think like this, after all, in everyone's eyes, he is my eldest brother." How could the eldest brother attack the sister-in-law? But it doesn't matter, we are clear in our own hearts, one day, I will avenge this for everyone without the help of anyone's strength! ”

If Gu Ruoxi was prescient, or if she really knew the past and knew the future, then. She will definitely kill the scourge of Gu Xiaoye without hesitation at this moment! After that, there won't be so many heart-rending things that happened later......

Of course, this is what happened later. No one could have imagined it now.

Liuli listened to Gu Ruoxi's persuasion, and her tears slowly stopped. The mood has also become better, although she has been soaking in the water for a few hours longer than Gu Ruoxi after jumping off the cliff, but she is the one who has recovered the fastest, she does not have any old diseases, after being fished out of the water, she was served by Amber to soak in a hot bath, poured a few bowls of ginger soup down, and the whole person eased up.

And Gu Ruoxi, although she survived, the injuries on her body were the most serious among several people. Especially these days. She also coughed gradually, faintly suffering from wind and cold. The injury on his arm also recovered very slowly.

Jinye Hou was very worried about this, and Imperial Doctor Xu would come to check his pulse two or three times almost every day, all of which were invited by Jinye Hou. The old man has a good temper, and he has never had anything to do with Kazuba.

Today, the emperor suddenly came out like this, and released Gu Xiaoye from the prison, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Jinye Hou was too busy to come here to visit Gu Ruoxi, so he sent a guard to inquire every other hour.

It was busy until dusk, and the Hou Mansion was calm again.

Gu Xiaoye moved back again

His Songtao Courtyard is magnificent, and almost all the furnishings and daily use in the courtyard have been replaced with new ones. Gu Ruoxi ignored the situation on his side, and did not allow the people in his courtyard to investigate, but the noise made her unable to sleep.

Unable to sleep, she simply asked Amber to take a medical book from the bookshelf and read it to her. The glass and the clouds were standing on the side.

At dusk, as soon as Gu Ruoxi shouted Amber to stop, a hurried footsteps sounded outside, and soon, someone reported through the thick cotton curtain: "Second Miss, the prince has come to visit you!" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she was taken aback, she raised her eyes and asked, "My eldest brother is here?" ”

"Yes! Second Miss! The little guy outside the door replied.

Gu Ruoxi immediately fell silent.

What is Gu Xiaoye doing at this time? How about her injuries, a survivor who didn't die under the knife? Or come to show off his power and tell her that even if he goes to prison, he will come back unharmed and continue to plot to kill her?

Or was it to warn her?

Gu Ruoxi really couldn't understand what Gu Xiaoye came here for, and when she lowered her head to think, there was already a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

Gu Xiaoye came in.

Gu Ruoxi immediately made a decision and said to Amber: "You guys go out quickly, please invite my eldest brother in, it's cold outside, don't freeze him." ”

She said this very loudly, obviously to Gu Xiaoye in the courtyard.

"Yes! Second Miss! Amber replied loudly, what did Gu Ruoxi mean, what did she not understand? Although the answer was crisp, the movements under her feet were slow, and when she went to the door to open the curtain, Gu Xiaoye had already stood there and waited for a while.

"Oops! Shizi, please come in! Amber said hurriedly.
