"The emperor probably thinks that with him, the queen can't do anything to me." Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "What are you angry about, this matter has not been written at all, since I have already chosen you, then I will no longer half-heartedly look at others, and when the time comes, I will return to the palace, I rejected the fourth prince, why are you worried about becoming like this?" ”

Indeed, Xuanyuan Jingxi's face was worried in addition to anger, and when he heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "No, you haven't understood another meaning of the emperor. You are in distress in Qingyun Mountain, and I happen to be the closest, so I came here to save you without saying hello to him, these things, he is not unaware, but he still sent the fourth prince Xuanyuan Shu here, what is the purpose, can't you guess? ”

"He, he doesn't want me to be with you, that's why he ...... I forcibly drove you away and let Xuanyuan Chun stay by my side. Gu Ruoxi said this sentence with great difficulty, and the calm expression on his face was gone.

Why? Why did she just determine her mind when she immediately found that there were so many obstacles pressing down on her? The emperor and the queen mother are simply two mountains, when will she be able to cross over and be with Xuanyuan Jingxi?

"The emperor should mean that, that's right!" Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded, seeing that Gu Ruoxi's face was full of worry, he immediately reached over and grabbed her hand, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "But you don't have to worry too much, the emperor will also leave it to me to take care of it, you don't have to do anything, Ye Xin is recuperating." I'll take care of everything. ”

"I really don't have to worry about it?" Gu Ruoxi looked fixedly at Xuanyuan Jingxidao.

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled and shook his head, but suddenly leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said: "As long as you stand firmly on my side, you have already given me the greatest comfort, no matter what happens, as long as I know that you are still standing behind me, it is enough." ”

This is very sensational, if it was usual, Gu Ruoxi would definitely laugh out loud, but at this moment, immersive, this was said by Xuanyuan Jingxi, and she was only moved in her ears.

"Of course I'll be by your side." Guruoxi is fixed.

Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at her, smiled slightly, with deep relief in his eyes, he stood up and said: "Okay, father-in-law should wait downstairs in a hurry, I will go back to Beijing, two days later, I will come to pick you up, wait for me." ”

"You don't have to force it." Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said, "Since the emperor deliberately summoned you back from me, then he will not give you a chance to get close to me again, and he will definitely send you far away at that time, listen to me, don't resist him, it's no good." ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he smiled evilly and said, "Who am I, Xuanyuan Jingxi?" If I'm obedient, am I still me? You don't have to worry about me, in short, I will do what I promise you, and no one can stop me! Be obedient and wait for me to pick you up. As he spoke, he looked at Gu Ruoxi twice, then stood up and went downstairs.

Gu Ruoxi sat there and sent him away with a worried look.

Downstairs, Jin Yehou stood there with an iron face, and when he saw Xuanyuan Jing coming down, he immediately said angrily: "You just said that all this is what the emperor meant?" He wants to marry Xi'er to the fourth prince Xuanyuan Chun? ”

"Father-in-law, it's useless for Xi'er to disagree with this." Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled evilly and said, "Didn't Xuanyuan Yu do the same? After being happy for several days, Xi'er sentenced him to death with a word! This Xuanyuan Chun, Hou Ye doesn't have to pay attention to it. ”

"What are you talking about?" When Jinye Hou heard this, he blew his beard and glared at him: "In case Xi'er doesn't agree this time, will the emperor force her to marry?" I said, boy, aren't you really worried at all? If you don't work hard, your daughter-in-law will run away with others! ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I believe in Xi'er, she is mine, and she will never run away with others." ”

Jinye Hou never expected Xuanyuan Jingxi to say such a thing, and his words were full of trust in Gu Ruoxi, which surprised him, but immediately, a wave of joy came to his heart.

Xi'er really didn't look at the wrong person! Even he, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this kid was pleasing to the eye.

"Father-in-law, there is one more thing I want to explain to you." At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jinye Hou and said: "The emperor must have noticed the relationship between me and Xi'er, and he will not agree with this matter, so after returning to Beijing this time, he will definitely summon Hou Ye and test you. In this way, the emperor can do nothing to you, understand? ”

When Jin Yehou heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled tightly, originally he planned to do so, and when he returned to the palace, he immediately went to see the emperor and begged him to agree to the marriage between Xi'er and Xuanyuan Jingxi, whether the emperor agreed or not, he, as a father, had to make this trip for his daughter, but he didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jingxi would let him do it at this time!

Doesn't that mean that he will sit idly by? How can that work?

Jin Ye Hou immediately became anxious, his daughter's marriage, he, the father, must make a contribution!

At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi lowered his voice and said: "Father-in-law, I didn't tell you to stand by, it's just that a good knife should be on the blade, right?" We don't have to make senseless sacrifices, this is not the time for you to come forward, how about you leave this little matter to your son-in-law? What if I can't handle it? What qualifications do you have to be Xi'er's husband? ”

Hearing this, Jin Yehou looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi fixedly, but a smile gradually appeared on his serious face, and he nodded and said, "Not bad!" You kid can say such a thing, it is very appetizing to me! Good! I promise you, when I go back to the emperor to summon me, I will do as you instruct!" ”

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said happily.

Jinye looked at him fixedly, and said slowly: "Okay, you go back quickly!" Don't worry, I'm here, and he won't make any mess in the fourth prince. ”

"Then thank you father-in-law." Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly, and made a deep gesture at Jinye Hou, and then turned around and walked outside.

Kageba Hou watched him leave.

The river beach outside the village was full of guards, and several tents had been re-set up not far from Xuanyuan Jingxi's personal guards, and Xuanyuan Chun was wearing a white fox cloak, standing there was the most eye-catching.

When Xuanyuan Jingxi slowly walked out of the village with several of his subordinates, Xuanyuan Chun immediately responded, and he showed a sweet smile at Xuanyuan Jingxi in the cold winter: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, have you finished saying goodbye to the second lady of the Gu family?" ”

Obviously, Xuanyuan Chun knew all about the scene that happened in the bamboo building just now, and of course it was limited to that, as for what Xuanyuan Jingxi said to Gu Ruoxi and Jinye Hou respectively, it was impossible for him to know.

"Yes!" There is nothing to hide, Xuanyuan Jingxi generously admitted it.

Xuanyuan Chun heard this, looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi fixedly, raised his eyes and smiled: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, this time it was all my father's idea, I obeyed orders, and there was no way, and I asked Uncle Seven Emperor to forgive me." ”

"If you are acting on orders, why should you ask my forgiveness?" Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at Xuanyuan Chun, the young man opposite was only two years younger than him, this year is the same year as Gu Ruoxi, I really didn't expect that the emperor even pulled Xuanyuan Chun out in order to break him up with Gu Ruoxi, you must know that this young man is still underage!

Xuanyuan Jingxi's lips slowly showed a mocking smile, and said: "Okay, I'll go back to the capital, anyway, I don't have anything to do here, by the way, there is still something to explain to you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the grass hut where the corpses were parked not far to the east, and said, "There are the corpses of some assassins who assassinated Miss Gu Er at that time, and of course, the dead guards of the Jinye Houfu. Who was ambushed in the mountains and forests in the blue sky and daylight that day, assassinating the daughter of the military marquis of the first rank of the dynasty, at this time, a result has not been found, the fourth prince, this matter will be troubled for you to help find out. ”

"Please rest assured Uncle Huang of this. My father asked me to come here this time just to investigate this matter and give Miss Gu Second a fair one! Xuanyuan Chun nodded immediately.

"Really?" When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked Xuanyuan Chun's eyes up and down, and a shallow smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Xuanyuan Chun saw such a smile, and he was a little suspicious in his heart. He was about to ask a question, but at this moment, he heard Xuanyuan Jingxi say again: "Then you can check it again!" "It's very meaningful.

Xuanyuan Chun was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask Xuanyuan Jingxi what he meant, but saw that he had already turned around and strided

of them are gone.

In less than a cup of tea, all the people brought by Xuanyuan Jingxi were integrated, the tent had already been put away, and all the items were packed up. Xuanyuan Jingxi got into a carriage, and less than 300 soldiers drove out of the village and rushed to the main road to the capital.

The number of people is obviously not much, but he was stunned to walk out of the momentum of thousands of troops.

Xuanyuan Chun led people to stand quietly on the embankment of the riverbank, watching this team of pro-soldiers disappear in front of him from afar, the dust raised almost covered half of the sky, and his face showed a trace of appreciation.

Xuanyuan Jingxi can be regarded as a character!

The next moment, he turned around and went back to his tent.

Xuanyuan Chun is the prince, and the tent he lives in is naturally the best specification, and it is covered with Chinese felt. There is a bed and a brocade table, a red charcoal basin is burning in the stove, and the fire reflects the colorful devices around the tent, and this tent lives in a bamboo building that is no better than the bamboo building where Gu Ruoxi lives.

Of course, he came prepared, and the queen mother was distressed, so he would never let himself be wronged.

Xuanyuan Chun sat on a chair, while baking the fire, and asked his guards, "Have you ever seen the corpse?" Did you find any problems? ”

"Back to Your Highness! I checked it, but I didn't find anything! Xuanyuan Chun's guard Zhou Zheng immediately replied: "This matter, after all, is related to the Jinye Hou Mansion, I think His Royal Highness should ask the Jinye Hou, maybe you can get some answers from him." ”

Xuanyuan Chun listened, but he was contemplative for a long time, and only said slowly for a long time: "That's it." Don't rush yet, wait until the evening. ”

"Your Highness! Do you really want to wait until the evening? Zhou Zheng immediately frowned and said: "The subordinates guessed that Jinye Hou definitely used this sentence to prevaricate His Highness, and Miss Gu Er didn't sleep at all!" Before King Jing left, he must have gone to see her! She must be awake at this time, you are going to see him at this time, I believe that Jinye Hou will never dare to say more than half a word! "Shangle Guangcai.

"Zhou Zheng, don't say it again." When Xuanyuan Chun heard this, his tone was very cold: "People don't want me to go to see the second miss, why do I have to kick my face?" Besides, His Highness said that I would go at dusk, and if I go early now, wouldn't it be a slap in my face? Forget it! ”

"Your Highness!" Zhou Zheng was a little anxious.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chun raised his eyes and glanced at him. smiled slightly, and said: "I understand what you mean, you want me to obey the emperor's wishes, so I married this second lady of the ancient family." This will be more favored by my father, but I don't want to, because of this family matter, the queen mother does not agree. ”

"Your Highness!" When Zhou Zheng heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Those who want to achieve great things are not informal!" At this time, the emperor still wants the second prince to be the crown prince, and his position is as stable as Mount Tai, so we can't just consider the feelings of the mother at this time! ”

Xuanyuan Chun was silent.

Zhou Zheng spoke again: "Your Highness, listen

The next sentence of persuasion, at this time, it should be the first thing to win the emperor's favor, the queen mother does not like this second miss Gu. It doesn't matter, His Royal Highness doesn't really want to marry her, and when the big thing is completed in the future, when His Royal Highness ascends to the throne, he will abolish this second Miss Gu! When the time comes, which lady does the queen like, and which one do you set up as the queen, wouldn't it be just right? ”

Xuanyuan Chun heard this and did not speak for a long time.

Zhou Zheng had already said everything he should have said, so he stood aside and waited for Xuanyuan Chun's reply, he knew that he couldn't be indifferent.

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Chun sighed deeply and spoke: "Theoretically, what you said is not wrong. ”

"Your Highness has figured it out?" When Zhou Zheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. ”

But at this moment, Xuanyuan Chun suddenly spoke again: "But, isn't this very unfair to Second Miss Gu?" ”

"Your Highness!" Zhou Zheng was immediately anxious, he really didn't know why his master's brain circuit was always not on the same level as himself. Just now it was the queen's mother, and now it is Miss Gu Er, is this what an ambitious, ambitious, and world-minded prince should say? He should pretend to be a country and a great cause in his mind, how can he pretend to be a woman?

"Your Highness! You really feel sorry for that Second Miss Gu, won't it be enough to make her a concubine when the time comes? Zhou Zheng was helpless, his mouth was about to wear out: "This person is a very important chess piece, you can't give up?" ”

"Chess pieces?" Xuanyuan Chun heard this, and muttered the word, but turned back to Zhou Zheng and smiled slightly, and mocked: "I'm not the prince now, and I haven't been the emperor yet, it's too early for you to say such things as a concubine." ”

"The subordinates are just hypothetical!" Zhou Zheng said helplessly.

"Okay, don't say any more, let His Highness think for himself." Xuanyuan Chun got up, walked to the bed, and lay down crookedly.

Zhou Zheng had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to respond stupidly, turned around and retreated.

And in the tent, Xuanyuan Chun's eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light: "If His Royal Highness wants to marry, then naturally he must marry the most beloved woman, so that he will not marry someone he doesn't love against his will!" ”

……

The mountain road was bleak, and after the pro-soldier team traveled ten miles, they stopped to rest and replenish their energy.

Xuanyuan Jingxi got down from the carriage, walked to a mound on the side of the road, glanced at the road he came from, but didn't look back: "At this time, Xuanyuan Chun should have started to investigate the assassin's matter, right?" ”

Ziyi, who was standing a foot away, immediately turned around and replied, "I think it should be!" But my lord, do you really plan not to meddle in this matter? ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, an evil smile immediately appeared on his lips: "How is it possible!" At best, I don't interfere in this matter on the surface, but I will never let this matter go on like this. Saying that, he sneered and said, "The emperor sent Xuanyuan Chun."

He came here to separate me from Xi'er, but he didn't expect that doing so would do me a great favor! ”

"That's right!" Ziyi nodded and said: "Hou Ye has already determined that you are his fast son-in-law at this time, if the matter of Gu Shizi and Prince Lian's conspiration to kill the second miss is revealed by you, then Hou Ye will definitely suspect your motives, but the four princes are different, and the truth of this matter will be revealed to the world through his hands, so whether it is the emperor or Jinye Hou, there is nothing to say, and the punishment that the bad guys should have is the same." ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly and did not answer.

Ziyi knew that he had entered Xuanyuan Jingxi's heart, and he thought like this.

"Lord Wang, then should we secretly do something at this time, so that the four princes can find out Gu Shizi and Prince Lian earlier?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi shook his head slightly, but said in a firm tone: "No! In this way, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, as can be seen from the fact that he sent Xuanyuan Chun here. If we make a move, maybe he will find out about me, and then he will think that I designed all this to frame Prince Lian, and his suspicion is too heavy, so we don't have to do anything. ”

"That's what the prince said." Hearing this, Ziyi immediately nodded, she exchanged a look with Mo Yun on the side, but asked again: "Lord Wang, then what if the fourth prince can't find anything?" ”
