Chapter 663: At the mercy of others
Gu Ziyan replied without hesitation: "No." β
Zhao Qinghe was naturally unwilling, the thing she didn't like the most was Gu Ziyan's deliberate concealment, and she knew that her IQ was not as good as many people, so she cared more about whether the prince treated her sincerely.
"You and I are husband and wife, and I don't even know these things, why don't I know as the crown princess?" Zhao Qinghe looked at the prince with dissatisfaction, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
However, Gu Ziyan had no intention of being open and honest at all.
He only turned his head and looked straight at Zhao Qinghe, his eyes were too straightforward and gloomy, and he immediately startled the princess, who had always been timid as a mouse, and the two looked at each other for only five seconds, Zhao Qinghe was defeated, and said, "If you don't want to say it...... That's it. β
This silent deterrence is a quasi-arrival for a naturally cowardly and timid person like the crown princess.
Gu Ziyan had already understood her, so when the man was frowning and depressed, he gently took her hand and put the man's cold hands in his palms, looking very caring.
But Zhao Qinghe was still immersed in Fang Cai's gloomy and terrifying eyes, she didn't understand what the prince did with her, even if it was to quarrel with her, but now there is nothing......
Gu Ziyan completely fooled her as a fool, as if she didn't want to waste a little more tongue.
"I'm like an outsider, obviously your wife, but I don't know you at all, I don't know your daily movements, I don't know who you associate with, I don't know anything." Her voice trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she wanted to cry.
Gu Ziyan couldn't see her crying the most, so he immediately took the person into his arms, patted her head gently, and gently comforted: "Don't worry, this palace never interacts with women on weekdays......"
He likes Zhao Qinghe's weakness, because weak people are the easiest to manipulate.
"You just need to remember that this palace didn't lie to you, these injuries are all falls, do you understand?" Gu Ziyan pinched Zhao Qinghe's jaw, and the man's tears just rolled down his cheeks, and he wiped them off with his fingers, his voice was clearly full of threat, but the movements were so gentle, "Do you remember?" β
The only thing Gu Ziyan can be sure of is that this naΓ―ve and stupid princess will never refuse his request.
Zhao Qinghe nodded obediently, knowing that this was not the case, but he still said honestly: "...... I remembered. β
"It's best to remember." Gu Ziyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then kissed her sideburns as if rewarding, "Only you can keep this palace from worrying so much." β
Zhao Qinghe's voice was low, and the whole person looked a little lonely: "I want to care about you, but I don't know why you were injured, am I stupid?" β
"You're not stupid." Gu Ziyan's eyes were cold for a moment, and his voice dropped sharply to the freezing point, "Qinghe, what did this palace just tell you, you forgot it so quickly?" You helped me with the fall, didn't you? β
Zhao Qinghe was afraid of his gloomy appearance, she didn't even look at him with any hint of resistance or dissatisfaction: "...... Yes, you fell and injured yourself. β
After saying this like a slave, she had the courage to reach out and hug Gu Ziyan's neck, and shrank into someone's arms as if she had been greatly wronged.
Gu Ziyan's way of slapping a sweet jujube made Zhao Qinghe, who was not smart in the first place, even more obedient, soft and glutinous at his mercy.
The crown prince closed his eyes, sniffed the fragrance in her hair deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Don't feel unfair, you now have opportunities and blessings that ordinary palace maids can't cultivate in eight lifetimes, Qinghe." β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Are you dissatisfied with me, the crown princess from a palace maid? Zhao Qinghe nestled in his arms with some frustration, humility was something she emanated from her bones, and she couldn't reverse it at all, "I can't help you with the affairs of the court, and I can't keep the East Palace in order, I ......"
Gu Ziyan was a little impatient, but fortunately, Zhao Qinghe's attitude was soft enough, so the anger in his heart was not so big, and he interrupted helplessly: "Okay, don't always be arrogant, if this palace looks down on you, I won't choose you to be the crown princess in the first place." β
After a pause, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he said as if he was unwilling: "You are so ignorant of the world, it is a great thing for this palace, if anyone marries a concubine like Lu Yao like Gu Congyuan, it is simply unlucky." β
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Qinghe's impression of Lu Yao is still very good, after all, a resourceful, powerful and beautiful woman is always annoying.
Gu Ziyan's thoughts condensed slightly, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Living with a woman who is proficient in calculations, thanks to the second child, is also like that, otherwise wouldn't you be tired to death?" β
Zhao Qinghe nodded ignorantly, she was born good-looking, and her figure was slender and exquisite, maybe the prince took a fancy to her.
However, the reason of being greedy for her body is only suitable for persuading the former Zhao Qinghe.
Today, she suddenly felt that Gu Ziyan didn't seem to be as simple as she imagined, maybe Gu Ziyan was just because Zhao Qinghe was born clean and had a simple heart, and he could manipulate her like a domesticated kitten and a puppy, and chose to make her the crown princess in the first place......
However, her heart was in a mess, just talking, her mind couldn't turn this corner, and on this issue, Zhao Qinghe was even more silent.
The two men sat in their arms, but they had their own hearts.
Gu Ziyan almost involuntarily remembered the scene of Chang Shan and Wanshuang's tragic deaths, he didn't have the slightest sympathy, he looked at it coldly at the time, and now he also recalled it with a cold face, and even because the two of them prevented him from blowing up Gu Congyuan, he was so angry that he clenched his fists.
These two people were all from Gu Congyuan's men that he wanted to dig up before, and he didn't know where the thing that would not win people's hearts came from to find such a master with outstanding martial arts and exquisite cultivation as a personal guard.
What made Gu Ziyan feel speechless and angry the most was the loyalty of those secret guards, it was clear that Gu Cong was a very bad person in his eyes, but he didn't know why......
Chang Shan and Wanshuang would rather be blown up and pierced through the heart by an assassin's sword than let Gu Cong go to his death.
The two of them were so loyal to King Cong's mansion, not to mention the incense that was still by Gu Congyuan's side.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plan to dig the foot of the wall still failed in the end.
Su Qingyan's self-slaughter still echoed in his mind, and he didn't know what kind of fatal charm Chang Shan had, it was clear that Su Qingyan still didn't look down on Chang Shan at all, but in the end, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, she was willing to die for that person!
This is really a strange thing in the world, Gu Ziyan said that it was true that he was unkind, but in the end he was still a living person, he looked at Zhao Qinghe in front of him, and couldn't help muttering: "Is there really such a thing in this world?" β
"What's the matter?" Zhao Qinghe said curiously.
Gu Ziyan stretched out his hand, slowly rubbed her cheek, and said confusedly: "Love someone to the point where you are willing to die for it." β
Being able to say this question shows that Gu Ziyan's love for Zhao Qinghe is not so deep, she lowered her eyebrows a little gloomily, but soon raised her head to look at him, and said very firmly: "Naturally, there is, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs me one day, then Qinghe is willing to sacrifice his life for you." β
Gu Ziyan was stunned, this was the first time he didn't know what to say to this weak and bullying woman.
In the end, he had to shake his head funny: "This palace will not let you pay for my life, your life is your own, keep it." β
On the side of the prince's east palace, a news came out quickly, saying that when His Royal Highness the prince went out to play, he accidentally fell and injured himself, and he didn't care about it at first, but then he was infected with wind cold.
It's a great way to get the best of both worlds.
On this day, when Gu Congyuan and Gu Huaiyuan rushed back to the palace, it was already past the time of the early dynasty, and the two of them were in a hurry to report the case, so they went to the Palace of Raising the Heart to find the emperor.
Gu Ji lifted the scroll, looked left and right, and looked at it carefully for a long time before he said, "These, are they all done by Huai Yuan alone?" β
Gu Congyuan lowered his eyebrows and didn't speak, since he went this time, he had no intention of fighting for credit, naturally he wanted to put all the credit for the Jizhou corruption case on Gu Huaiyuan's head.
However, the man scratched his head embarrassedly, glanced at the cold second brother beside him, and grinned: "Father Qi, this case was done by the second brother and I with each other, and we did it together!" β
ββ¦β¦ Fifth brother doesn't need to mention me. Gu Congyuan lowered his voice, but he didn't expect that he had to push half of the credit to himself, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Father, son-in-law tell the truth, second brother, he is really powerful! The means are vigorous and resolute, and the work is not dragged in the slightest, many things that I can't find, he knows at a glance what to do! "Gu Huaiyuan has completely become a little fan of His Royal Highness King Cong this time.
After a pause, seeing that the emperor was smiling amiably, and seemed to like him very much when he said this, Gu Huaiyuan became even more energetic: "The most important thing about going out to handle the case this time is not that Erchen has dealt with such a tragic and inhumane case, but because Erchen met the second brother and learned a lot of things from him that he couldn't learn in the palace!" It's really beneficial! β
Gu Congyuan's ears were about to turn red, and he lowered his head and said: "The fifth brother is talented and intelligent, and he has always had a unique view of the case, which is a natural skill, and Erchen is just trying his best to assist him in handling the case." β
"Good!" Gu Ji suddenly applauded, "Your brothers can love each other, which makes me happy enough!" β
