Chapter 287: Under Heaven
β? οΌοΌ
"Give me back!" The emperor suddenly shouted.
Xuanyuan Yan ignored him and continued to run wildly.
The emperor was furious and shouted loudly: "Outside the Imperial Forest Army, stop the prince for me!" β
The emperor's voice landed, and the royal forest army outside the door stepped forward. surrounded Xuanyuan Yan. There was no way, Xuanyuan Yan had to stop. This is the imperial study, and the person sitting in it is the emperor, how can he spread wild here?
"Bring him in!" The emperor commanded loudly, and Xuanyuan Yan was really angry with him.
When those Imperial Forest Soldiers came up, Xuanyuan Yan flicked his sleeves violently and shouted: "This palace will go by itself!" As he spoke, he strode back with his head held high.
The emperor saw that Xuanyuan Yan came back with a stubborn face, and his heart was full of helplessness: "Tian'er, what do you want?" β
"Father! Erchen doesn't want to do anything! Xuanyuan Yan said coldly: "It's just that I want to marry Gu Ruoxi!" Since you don't agree, then your son can only fight to the death with Uncle Jingwang! β
"Why fight him to the death?" The emperor frowned and asked.
Xuanyuan Yan snorted coldly and said, "What idea did he Xuanyuan Jingxi make, others don't know, don't I understand?" He persuaded his father, the emperor, to canonize Gu Er as Princess Min. It's not that he wants to get the moon first! cut off other people's thoughts, but he himself can get close to Gu Er, he is too good! β
"Don't talk nonsense!" When the emperor heard this, he was immediately angry, and he slapped the table heavily and said, "Tian'er! What kind of nonsense is this? Since Miss Gu Er has become Princess Min, she is the sister-in-law of King Jing, in this case, how can he have any children's affection with his sister-in-law? It's so whimsical! β
"Really?" Xuanyuan Yan said in a cold tone: "Father, didn't he tell Uncle Jingwang." If he wants to marry Gu Er? β
When the emperor heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, he said: "I said it, but since I want that Second Miss Gu to be Princess Min, he King Jing must stand aside!" The royal family can't make any mess of things! β
When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he was very unimpressed by what the emperor said.
When the emperor saw him like this, he immediately spoke: "Don't worry about King Jing's affairs, Tian'er, I tell you the truth, in this life, you can't marry Miss Gu Er." If you still want the position of the crown prince, the world and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, then obediently listen to your father. β
When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he was immediately shocked, and his face showed an expression of disbelief, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Alright, let's go down and think about it!" The emperor waved his hand, urging Xuanyuan Yan to leave, but the next moment. He didn't know what to think, and immediately solemnly explained: "Remember! Never dream of moving Uncle Jing, at least when the Queen Mother is alive, she doesn't even have to think about it! β
"For, why
οΌ Xuanyuan Yan asked with a stammer.
"Without their mother and son, there would be no world where our father and son are today!" The emperor said word by word: "This is something that everyone in the world knows, if you don't want to be infamous and pointed out by thousands of people, go and toss!" β
Xuanyuan Yan was taken aback at first when he heard this, but soon, he sneered: "Father! In the past, Erchen felt jealous of the ancient family, but today, how does Erchen feel that he is even more jealous of people. But what about the emperor's grandmother and Uncle Jing? β
The emperor didn't refute, but just waved his hand and told him to leave: "Think about what I said in your heart!" Remember, don't be unsure! β
Xuanyuan Yan looked at the emperor, and seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, he nodded at the moment and said, "Erchen retires." β
He knows so much news today, he has to go back and think about it!
It wasn't until he walked out of the imperial study that Xuanyuan Yan found out in a decadent way that the emperor didn't agree to his request at all! In other words, the emperor must let Gu Ruoxi be Princess Namin.
Thinking of this, a trace of pain suddenly appeared on his face.
The woman who dared to scare him, dared to kick him, and dared to go toe-for-tat with him was about to marry someone else! After that, he never saw her again......
Xuanyuan Yan's heart was empty, and he returned to the East Palace in despair, and when he saw the bright lights in the hall, he suddenly turned around and rushed out!
"Your Highness! Where do you go? Behind him, Gong'e's exclamation rang out, but Xuanyuan Yan had already gone far away.
This night, in a tavern in the capital, Xuanyuan Yan was drunk like mud.
β¦β¦
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the mother and daughter of the Gu family did not stay long, and went out of the palace directly in a carriage and rushed to the Jinye Houfu.
There was silence in the carriage.
Gu Ruoxi sat there, occasionally looking up at Gu Yuetong sitting beside her, this girl had an expressionless face, and when she came out of the palace, she had always been like this.
Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh deeply, after Prince Xuanyuan Yan rushed to Cining Palace and said those words in front of everyone, Gu Ruoxi had already expected this result.
That's it, she rescued Gu Yuetong several times and tired herself into a dog, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't warm her heart, and in the end she still lost to these suspicions.
Gu Yuetong's love for the prince is obvious to all, Gu Ruoxi can't understand, she has been desperately trying to stay away from him since the first day she met Xuanyuan Yan, but why did it finally cause this result?
Amid the sound of wheels, the atmosphere became more and more eerie.
Finally, Gu Yuetong opened her mouth: "Sister, today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
"Sister, he did that just for the sake of face!" Gu Ruoxi interrupted: "Moreover, there is no accident
In a few days, the emperor's decree on marriage will be issued, and I, who will become a widowed princess Min, what am I worried about? β
Gu Yuetong never expected that she was just a beginning, Gu Ruoxi could say such a thing, her brows suddenly frowned, and said, "Sister, it seems that you have a big opinion of me?" β
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his fiancΓ©, sister, I have always avoided him when I see him, today I didn't expect him to say such a thing in the main hall, fortunately, whether it is the Queen Mother or the Emperor, they will only let me be Princess Min, in the future, I will stay in the courtyard every day and not go anywhere, will I rest assured?" β
When Gu Yuetong heard this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Ruoxi deeply.
There was a voice in her heart saying to her: It is because she does nothing that she is hateful!
She loves Xuanyuan Yan so much, but there is a Gu Ruoxi in the other party's heart who never cares about him!
The color in Gu Yuetong's eyes couldn't help but darken, but soon, it disappeared.
"Sister, if that's really the case? How can we watch to be Princess Namin? Mother, she will die of sadness! β
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately smiled slightly, and said: "Sister, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with being Princess Min, it's pure, stay away from strife, I'm the only woman in the palace, wouldn't it be happy and happy on such a day?" "He's got the skills.
If it weren't for the memory of having this body itself, Gu Ruoxi would definitely be happy to live such a day. It's a pity, under the nest, there are no eggs? If the Jinye Houfu is not guaranteed, she will definitely not have a good life!
"Sister, do you really think so?" Gu Yuetong was a little surprised.
Gu Ruoxi nodded, leaned back, and replied casually: "Yes, I don't have any ambitions, and I don't want to be a concubine or princess, as long as there is a clean place for me to stay, it will be good." β
When Gu Yuetong heard this, her eyes flashed, and after a long time, she suddenly leaned up and said in Gu Ruoxi's ear: "Sister, why don't I let the prince go to the emperor to plead for mercy, and let me marry the prince?" When the time comes, we sisters will serve each other and help each other......"
"Stop! Stop! Without waiting for Gu Yuetong to finish speaking, Gu Ruoxi interrupted her and said, "Sister, I don't want to go to the palace in my life!" Please, don't say that again! I'd rather be Princess Min than go to the palace! β
Living in that kind of place all day long, if you don't die, you will go crazy!
"Sister,...... But really? Gu Yuetong couldn't help but look at Gu Ruoxi Road in surprise.
Gu Ruoxi nodded without hesitation and said, "Sister, it's naturally true!" I can swear to you! If I marry into the palace in this life, I will definitely bleed to death! β
Gu Ruoxi disliked that the five thunders in the sky were too cheesy, so he changed his words
Law.
Gu Yuetong was secretly frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sister! How can you say such an obscure word? Naturally, I believe it! As he spoke, a smile crossed his face.
Gu Ruoxi also smiled slightly.
The sisters reconciled.
But who can understand the pain in their hearts?
Let's go! The fate of each leaf!
When the carriage returned to the gate of the Jinye Houfu, it was already night, and the lights in front of the gate were bright, and the Jinye Hou and Gu Xiaoye stood in front of the gate to greet the mother and daughter. The dim candlelight shone on the faces of the two people, and the two middle-aged men, one old and one young, were full of worry on their faces.
It wasn't until they saw the mother and daughter get out of the carriage that Jin Ye Hou and Gu Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief.
"Daddy! Eldest brother! As soon as Gu Yuetong saw the two handsome men standing under the red lantern, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly greeted her.
"Tong'er, are you all right?" Although Jinye Hou was Gu Yuetong who asked, his eyes swept over the faces of his wife and youngest daughter one by one.
"Husband, let's go in and talk!" Mrs. Jinye Hou smiled reluctantly and said.
When Jin Yehou saw her expression, his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Gu Ruoxi, but he saw that his little daughter had a calm face.
"Okay, then let's go back quickly! The three of us have worked hard. Kazuba waited.
Gu Xiaoye didn't speak, his eyes were always on Gu Yuetong, and when he saw that she was fine, he relieved his heart. β
Soon, everyone came to the Jinghong Courtyard together, but saw that dinner had already been prepared, and it was obvious that they did not come back, and Jinye Hou and Gu Xiaoye didn't have much heart to eat.
"Madam, Tong'er Xi'er, let's go and wash up! If there's anything, let's talk while we eat. Jin Ye Hou said.
Mrs. Jinye nodded and took her two daughters to wash.
After half a ring, they came back, everyone sat down, and there were maids on the side who came forward to distribute vegetables for everyone, Mrs. Jinye Hou had no appetite, only drank a little soup, Gu Ruoxi on the side looked normal, she was hungry in Cining Palace for a long time, and the Queen Mother did not leave food, she was already hungry, at this time the food was extremely sweet, and Gu Yuetong on the side was also similar.
It wasn't until everyone had eaten that Jinye Hou slowly spoke: "Alas, today at the door of the imperial study, I met Xu Shangshu's old horseman, and I couldn't help arguing with him for a few words, but I never thought that I would alarm the emperor and punish the two of us for being grounded for half a month." β
"What? Hou Ye? You were grounded for half a month? Mrs. Jinye Hou's mouth opened wide in surprise, and it took a long time before she said: "The Queen Mother and His Royal Highness King Jing want to let our family Xi'er be Princess Min, and this matter still depends on the prince to maneuver in front of the emperor, and he was actually grounded?" β
"Is there such a thing?" When Jinye Hou heard this, he suddenly broke the tea cup in his hand, and the expression on his face was mixed with regret
, resentment, not leaves, all kinds of emotions.
But more than that, it's unbelievable.
Seeing her husband's stunned expression, Mrs. Jinye Hou immediately sighed deeply and said, "Originally, the relationship between Xi'er and the son of the Xu family was going to be booked, and the queen mother was going to write a marriage decree." At this time, His Royal Highness King Jing rushed to make everything mess. β
"I want Xi'er to be Princess Min, who said this?" Kazuba asked angrily. He had already quarreled with Xu Shangshu in the palace today, and he was in an unhappy mood, but when he heard this, he was even more depressed.
"Naturally, it is His Royal Highness King Najing." When Mrs. Jinye Hou mentioned this, she was also angry: "But the Queen Mother loves him very much, whatever he says is what he says, our Xi'er this time, it seems that it is impossible to escape." β
Not necessarily! Our ancient family has made great contributions, I want to see how the emperor agrees to this matter! When Jin Yehou heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said. He had led troops in battle in his early years, and now he is going there for a stop. Suddenly majestic, the momentum of the whole body was so strong that several people in the room couldn't take their eyes off it.
Gu Yuetong and Gu Xiaoye, who were on the side, saw that their father was so angry, and their hearts were also mixed.
"Master Hou, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Kazuba looked at her husband and asked in surprise.
At this moment, Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "Dad, if the Gu family has made great contributions to the royal family, you should not say it again in the future, maybe because of this." The emperor will ask me to be the princess of Namin. β
"Xi'er, what do you mean by that?" Kazuha turned his head to look at her. Asked in some surprise.
The corners of Gu Ruoxi's mouth slowly showed a smile, she glanced at Jinye Hou, and said: "Originally, I couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother and King Jing were so sure that the emperor should let his daughter be Princess Namin, but at this moment, when I heard my father's words, I understood everything." β
"Got what?" Before Jin Yehou could answer, Gu Yuetong on the side rushed to ask.
Gu Ruoxi glanced at her quietly, feeling a little sorry in her heart, she is all a person who wants to be the crown princess, why is she still so out-of-the-box? Rushing to speak in front of the elders, this is really not a rule at all.
She sighed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and immediately explained: "Our Gu family is too strong, and the limelight is too much, so the emperor is already afraid." This can be seen in my marriage. The daughter became Prince Min and the princess, and the Gu family did not get the slightest benefit, compared to marrying with other famous families, our Gu family suffered a big loss. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed surprised expressions on their faces, and Jin Yehou looked at his little daughter in disbelief, never expecting to hear such a sentence from her mouth.
No one in the room said a word, Gu Ruoxi paused, and then continued to talk: "The Queen Mother and King Jing saw through this. That's why I put it
Abandoning Gongzi Xu and asking her daughter to be Princess Namin, for the Queen Mother, her daughter became Princess Min, and it was impossible to marry King Jing in this life, which was a wish of hers. You must know that the person who the Queen Mother wants in her heart is Zhang Yan, the daughter of Prime Minister Zhang. Second, when the emperor knows about this, he will only be more grateful to her in his heart, why not the queen mother? β
Gu Ruoxi smiled very coldly.
When the Jinye Hou couple heard this, they wanted to refute it, but they couldn't say a word when the words came to their mouths, and they had to admit that what Gu Ruoxi said was right. He died in the field.
Gu Xiaoye also stared at Gu Ruoxi deeply on the side, as if she had just known this sister. Gu Ruoxi's intelligence was really beyond his imagination, and this was still his submissiveness. My sister who doesn't understand anything? Why does he think now that she knows more than they do?
I don't know why, Gu Ruoxi's eloquent appearance just now has been lingering in Gu Xiaoye's mind.
"Dad, I guess, you just wanted to use the contribution of our ancient family to let the emperor take back his fate, right?" Gu Ruoxi asked again.
Kazuha nodded subconsciously.
"Then I advise my father not to go." Gu Ruoxi said slowly: "It's useless, this will only increase the emperor's jealousy of the Jinye Houfu, and there will be all kinds of harm but no benefit." β
When Jinye Hou heard this, a sad expression immediately appeared on his face: "Could it be that Daddy can only watch and jump into that fire pit?" β
"Not really." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "Dad, you can go and beg the emperor, just say that your daughter is still young now, and this marriage can be decided first, but the marriage will be after my sister becomes the crown princess." This request is reasonable, and I think there is no reason why the emperor should not agree. β
When Jinye Hou heard this, his expression was very solemn, and it took a long time for him to slowly speak: "Xi'er, there is no other way besides this?" β
"Nope." Gu Ruoxi nodded lightly. However, it is very bitter in my heart.
After all, she still became a victim of the Gu family, and I hope her sacrifice can make the emperor less afraid of the Gu family.
In the past, she always thought that the collapse of the Gu family was caused by the crown prince Xuanyuan Yan, but now it seems that it may not be, and now that Xuanyuan Yan has not ascended the throne, the emperor is so jealous of the Gu family, and when it comes, who knows what will happen?
This time, she must be cautious!
