Chapter 206: Rumors

Gu Du squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Is it aimed at me, or is it aimed at the Queen of Summer?" ”

Dongfang Wen smiled and said, "It's a good thing that you can distinguish each other now." ”

Gu Du smiled and said: "I only have brotherhood with Empress Xia, and there is no love between men and women, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wait for me to marry Xia Lan." ”

Dongfang Wen told Gu Du that naturally no one in the court dared to speak, and Li Xia and Dongfang Bin were there, unless they were crazy, no one dared to admonish.

But because of this, Gu Du invisibly became a traitor who held the emperor hostage.

In the past, if there was a war, there was no way to take care of independence, but now that the two countries have signed a letter of permanent alliance, some people naturally begin to think about it.

As Gu Du said, not everyone will serve the country loyally, let alone the overall situation. Gu Du and Lixia are too popular.

One is like a housekeeper in the palace, and the other is covering the sky with one hand in the government and the opposition, although there is no bad behavior, but he is hated by others!

Gu Du was silent for a long time, and asked softly, "The person who wants to get rid of me...... It's the high priest Qiao Zheng, right? ”

Dongfang Wen was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Gu Du replied, "It's very simple......"

Although Gu Du and Lixia are both recorded in the Imperial Spirit Division, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Imperial Spirit Division, after the two of them arrived in Zeguo, Qiao Zheng, the high priest, is useless, before Lixia became the queen, Gu Du did not need to inform Qiao Zheng if he had something, and directly told Emperor Ze that after Lixia became the queen, Gu Du had no scruples.

And Qiao Zheng is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, there are few people in this world who can be humble, even if Dongfang doesn't hear it, if it weren't for Jin Lan's biological father, I'm afraid he wouldn't think about Gu Du everywhere.

Besides, Qiao Zheng is old, and he should have cultivated a successor a long time ago, but judging from the current situation, the position of high priest is none other than Gu Du, how can Qiao Zheng not hate?

Dongfang Wen said with a smile: "You are so good at guessing, then guess again, what method does he want to use against you." ”

Gu Du pondered for a long time, suddenly frowned, and said: "It can't be used to use force, and impeachment can't be done, so you can only start with the people around the emperor, last time I went to the palace to say about finding Mo Xuan, and the Empress Xia wanted to force me to agree to let Xia Lan go with me, but I didn't want to say it in front of the emperor, so she asked the emperor to go to Concubine Xue...... Qiao Zheng wants Concubine Xue to blow the wind on the pillow? ”

Dongfang Wen smiled and said: "No wonder people want to get rid of you, thousands of miles away, you can see the fire, and it is too tiring to work with people like you." ”

Gu Du sneered and said softly: "I can kill the ministers, but I can't kill the imperial concubine, otherwise I will really become a traitor who holds the emperor hostage." ”

Dongfang Wen said softly: "You can't kill, but you can kill after Xia." ”

Gu Du shook his head and said softly: "You can't kill the queen of summer." ”

Dongfang Wen frowned, and Gu Du said softly: "If the emperor doesn't listen to Concubine Xue, the queen of Xia doesn't have to kill Concubine Xue, and the emperor will abolish her." If the emperor listened to Concubine Xue, the Empress Xia would not be able to kill Concubine Xue, because the emperor was reluctant. If Empress Xia insists on killing Concubine Xue, she will confirm her name as the demon queen, not only will she not be able to help me, but she will also put herself in. ”

Gu Du sighed and said softly: "She is also a mother, I owe her enough, don't involve her anymore." ”

Dongfang Wen stared at him for a while, and said softly, "Then how are you going to deal with it?" Qiao Zheng had already sent someone to send three thousand taels of silver to Concubine Xue's family, but Concubine Xue didn't know about it yet. ”

Gu Du smiled and said softly: "Three thousand taels? He's really rich...... How much money does he have in a year? ”

Dongfang Wen replied softly: "He didn't send it alone." ”

The smile on Gu Du's face faded, and he pondered for a while and said, "I have to go back first." ”

Dongfang Wen asked, "What to do?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The right to hand over the troops." ”

Dongfang Wen shook his head and said: "The military power is to be handed over, but it can't be handed over right now, isn't it suspicious that you go back to hand over the military power at this time?" ”

Gu Du frowned and said softly: "If you wait for the signs of things to come out before handing over the military power, I'm afraid it will be another turmoil." ”

Dongfang Wen replied softly: "Whether it is a temple or a river or a lake, there is always a wave of unsettled and rising waves, unless you take Xia Lan back to the mountains to live in seclusion." ”

Gu Du was silent, Dongfang Wen looked at him and said: "Dongfang He has already paid for Jin Lan's mother and son, and the two countries have also signed a letter of eternal alliance...... Would you like the rapids to retreat? ”

Gu Du shook his head and said: "I don't have any nostalgia for the high-ranking official Houlu, but the promise I made to the Xia Hou must be fulfilled. ”

Dongfang Wen smiled lightly and said, "I just asked casually, you don't have to mind, you write a letter to Chu Qin, I'll go out for a walk." ”

As soon as Dongfang Wen left, Gu Du returned to the back house, and before he entered the door, he called first: "Jincai, take the child away." ”

Yun Jincai is one year old with Dongfang Xia Lan, she grew up with Dongfang Xia Lan since she was a child, and she is basically a girl who marries, but she can't be called that, after all, she is a disciple of Juelingmen.

Yun Jincai listened to Gu Du's voice in the house was not good, and she couldn't help but be a little confused, the two became relatives, Gu Du had never been like this, what happened today?

Coming out of the house, Gu Du had already entered his own room, Dongfang Xia Lan pursed her lips and looked at him, knowing that it must be the second brother who was talking a lot, and told Gu Du about the water practitioner of the Jueling Sect.

Yun Jincai came in and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

Gu Du was silent, Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Senior sister, take the child to your house." ”

Yun Jincai frowned and walked to the bed, picked up the two children one in each hand, and when she turned around and walked to the door, she looked back at Gu Du again.

Gu Du didn't speak, nor did he look at her, Yun Jincai went out, Gu Du waved his hand and closed the door.

Yun Jincai was taken aback, Gu Du had never closed the door like this, what was this for? He asked again, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

Gu Du replied loudly: "Something! ”

Yun Jincai was stunned, something? It's also a matter for the two of them, what can she do? It's really a redundant question......

Yun Jincai didn't move, Gu Du looked at Dongfang Xia Lan and said, "Say it." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said with a smile: "What do you say? Am I the one you took it? Even if I'm a human criminal, you have to ask, I know what you want to hear. ”

Gu Du reprimanded with a calm face: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, are you hiding from me, letting my father and mother train a sailor, and going to find Mo Xuan behind my back?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan replied with a smile: "I didn't want to carry you on my back, but I just haven't told you yet, anyway, it's difficult to make the trip for a while." ”

Gu Du glared at her, and Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "Why did the second brother suddenly tell you about this?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Chu Qin sent a letter, saying that the Xiongren Kingdom has sent an envoy to make good relations with the Spirit Kingdom. ”
