Chapter 583: Light of Dawn
From Gu Xun's point of view, maybe one day, his identity as "Gu Rin" will fake his death, or be exposed.
But at the moment, Wen Ling is marrying his "imperial brother" as his eldest sister-in-law, and no matter what, he is not right now.
"Chang'an, at present, I canonize you as the queen as the 'imperial brother', when Bai Yue gives birth to a child, if it is a boy, I will assist him as the emperor, and when he is older, I will clean up the court for him, leave trustworthy courtiers, and ensure that he has no worries about the throne." Gu Xun said seriously, "You don't like the palace, I want to take you out for a walk, and when the time comes, I can take off this mask on my face, and when I am with you in the bright light, we will have a child of our own." ”
It was probably because Gu Xun's expression was too serious, and Wen Ling couldn't help laughing.
But soon became serious, "Gu Xun, I understand what you said, you mean to say that you haven't taken off your mask and made your true identity public, so I'm married to 'Gu Rin' now, so you can't touch me, not only because you want to show Du Zhong, but you also want me to be allowed in the future when we have a righteous and bright husband and wife status, right?" ”
"Yes......" Gu Xun was delighted and held Wen Ling's shoulder, "Chang'an, you understand me." ”
"That'...... Gu Xun, how long are you going to wait? Wen Ling asked solemnly, "Or, if Bai Yue gave birth to a daughter, at that time, you planned to have a boy with me and train you to be the next prince of the Jin Kingdom, right?" ”
Gu Xun hesitated slightly, and only said after a while, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Wen Ling's brows suddenly rose, "Are you ready not to take off this mask for the rest of your life?" Sooner or later, we will reveal the true face of Eucommia? ”
"It's not...... I ......" Gu Xun explained in a panic, "I ......"
It took a while for his voice to sink down, "Chang'an, this is just the worst outcome." ”
Worst possible outcome.
Wen Ling was silent for a long time, and for a while the atmosphere in the room was solemn.
Gu Xun was a little scared in his heart, and raised his hand to touch Wen Ling, but he didn't know what he should say.
"Gu Xun, you kept Gu Rin's name and prepared for the worst, didn't you want everyone to forget him?" Wen Ling looked up at Gu Xun, "He is your brother, the god you have always worshiped and admired the most, you understand what death is to people, death means disappearing to people, it means forgetting, it means that everything he does will only exist in history, and most people can only remember the present, you respect Gu Rin, you value this brotherhood, you not only regard him as an elder brother, you regard him as a god in the sky, you don't want Gu Rin's name to become a short stroke in the history books, not the prince of the emperor, That's why you want to pretend to be him. ”
Gu Xun looked at Wen Ling in shock, his eyes were moving.
I didn't think that every word Wen Ling said was correct.
The imperial brother died at the hands of a traitor, Gu Xun actually had several ways to return to the dynasty and avenge the imperial brother in a bright and bright way, but he chose the safest, but the most unfair one to himself.
That is to let himself "die" and let Gu Rin "live".
"Chang'an ......" Gu Xun wanted to say.
Wen Ling had already turned around and turned his back to Gu Xun, "My mother used to say that when you do something, you have to think about the worst, and if you can bear the worst, then do it." ”
Gu Xun's thin lips tightened.
Wen Ling had his back to him, his little head shaking.
"But I don't think so, why should I plan for the worst?" Wen Ling stopped, "If you want to do something, isn't it just to do your best to do it?" ”
"Gu Xun, you said that you may be under a mask for the rest of your life, and maybe I will be nominally the wife of 'Gu Rin' for the rest of my life, but I don't think so." Wen Ling looked back at Gu Xun, his eyes were serious, "Gu Xun, one day, you will let the people recognize you, you are Gu Xun, you are not Gu Rin, but you will do better than Gu Rin, and the people will also know that you pretended to be Gu Rin not to replace him, but because of brotherly love, you want to find out the murderer of Gu Rin." Let's go towards such a goal, why not be confident, Gu Xun, I think Gu Rin is willing to save you, just because he thinks that you can do better than him, in his heart, your life is more important than his life, isn't it? ”
Gu Xun's body trembled.
For a month, he wore his mask every day and did not dare to take it off.
On the way back to the capital, even after arriving in the palace, he was testing Du Zhong, and Du Zhong's people were constantly testing him, even if Rong Bing comforted him, but he always felt that he had missed something. It seems that in a certain moment, he can be exposed and discovered, he has a fear in his heart that no one knows, but in front of Wen Ling, he seems to have a little more courage because of Wen Ling's words.
Brother Huang, do you think like her?
Wen Ling's mind is very clear, perhaps because of the bystander Qing, Wen Ling feels that he and Song Wanqing have been together for a long time, and he has also learned Song Wanqing.
The next moment, Wen Ling didn't have time to speak, and the whole person was taken into Gu Xun's arms.
"Chang'an, thank you, thank you."
Gu Xun couldn't tell what it was.
When the imperial brother left, he was very sad, and he wondered countless times why it was not himself who died but the imperial brother.
But since pretending to be the emperor's brother, he has heard a lot of words, and others are rejoicing, but fortunately it is the "imperial brother" who survived.
He could only smile wryly.
Sometimes he was glad that he had a human skin mask on his face.
But now, Wen Ling's words gave birth to an indescribable feeling in his heart. The woman in front of him, every time she appeared, it was like a light shining in his dark world.
Wen Ling felt a little sad.
The Gu Xun she met was so kind and sincere, thousands of times better than Gu Rin, and what others couldn't see, it was blind.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
After hugging for a while, Wen Ling also felt a little ashamed and pushed Gu Xun away, "How is Bai Yue?" Tomorrow, should I go see her? Also, how do you discuss tomorrow's affairs with the imperial brother, you let me and the imperial brother act like this, then the Jin Kingdom is bound to suffer. ”
"Bai Yue is fine, but she has a fetal gas, there are people in her palace who can't be used, I have ordered someone to withdraw, the other party should just want me to throw you away today, so I didn't make a ruthless move, I just calculated it, if you want to go, you can also go and see it tomorrow." Gu Xun only remembered that now in Wenling's palace, it should be safe, "The matter of dividing Tuyuhun has not been discussed with your imperial brother, but I have already figured it out, the matter of blood slaves makes everyone jealous, although Tuyuhun has been surrendered, most of the blood slaves have been exterminated, but after a period of time, they will be afraid of the blood servants of the Jin Kingdom." The Jin Kingdom can't be on the cusp, even if it's a mouthful, it's very easy to have an accident, and the ants bite the elephant to death, if it can, my Jin Kingdom doesn't want a piece of land. ”
"Don't want land? Have you not done things in vain? Wen Ling was surprised.
Which country would not want land, it was the country of Qi several times, even the imperial uncle had considered it a few years ago. Because the state of Qi is strong, there are more and more people, and there are many cities, so it is natural to want to expand the country, but the country of Qi is not warlike to open the country with force, even if it wants to expand the country, it needs to plan well and wait for the opportunity.
"Well, I consider issuing an edict to the world, after the end of the war, all the blood servants will be cremated, and the heroes will be buried, and the heroes will be buried, and it will be disposed of in accordance with the law of death. promised all countries that if the Jin State did not suffer the danger of annihilation, it would never use any Gu army again, nor would it deliberately cultivate Gu army, let alone use Gu army to take the initiative to attack other countries. Gu Xun paused, "Tuyuhun land, if your imperial brother wants it all, I won't have any opinion, but there is only one request, and that is to hope that your imperial brother will allow my Jin Kingdom to recruit troops and accept the people on the land of Tuyuhun." Tuyuhun is a nomadic country on the grassland, most of the food, clothing, food and clothing rely on plunder, my Jin country has now integrated the Wei soil, as long as you can farm, there will be food to eat, will not starve them, my Jin army is not much, and there are only 100,000 soldiers left after the burial of the blood servants, so we need to increase the troops. ”
Wen Ling thought about it carefully, this method, Gu Xun thought about it quite carefully.
The blood servants of the Jin Kingdom are like blood slaves to all countries, which makes people jealous, and over time, they will want to unite. But Gu Xun's announcement to all countries is equivalent to giving countries a booster, at least the Jin State will not use blood servants to deal with countries, if it is violated, then the countries will have a reason to unite against Jin.
The Jin State integrated Wei Tu, which was already messy, greedy and chewy.
He only said, "Brother Huang won't go too far." ”
"I wish your royal brother would go too far." If it is too polite, the Jin Kingdom will have more trouble.
At night, the two lived in Yongning Palace, but they did not share the same bed, Wen Ling rested on the bed, and Gu Xun rested on the soft collapse. Xu is because he is busy with state affairs these days, and today he wore a heavy hair crown, and after the two talked for a while, they soon fell asleep.
Before dawn on the second day, Shou Nian came to knock on the door, "Your Majesty, it's time to wake up." ”
When they heard a knock on the door, they also woke up together.
Wen Ling got up and went to light the lamp, and Gu Xun also sat up.
Because he was resting here in Wenling last night, Gu Xun didn't wear a mask, and those scary red rashes actually subsided a little.
But Wen Ling could only watch Gu Xun wash his face with the cold water he had prepared last night and put on a new mask.
"I'm leaving." As soon as Gu Xun put on the mask, he got used to Gu Rin's tone.
In the past two years, he has eaten and lived with Gu Rin, and he knows Gu Rin's every move and habit.
Wen Ling also let Xianqin and Yi Yu enter the door to wash, and then personally sent Gu Xun away.
When the two returned to the room, they happened to see a small palace maid standing next to the mattress, tidying up.
Xianqin immediately frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”
The little palace maid turned her head and looked at Wen Lingdao timidly, "Mama taught that after the emperor stays in the Niangniang Palace, he will change the bedding on the second day." ”
Wen Ling looked at the little palace maid, the little palace girl was white and pure, she had seen it yesterday, and she had reported her name once, but she couldn't remember it too clearly.
"What's your name?"
The little palace maid hurriedly replied, "Slave Xiuzhu." ”
Wen Ling's eyes raised slightly, and he smiled, "Well done, reward." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Xiuzhu's face was overjoyed, and she raised her hand to take the golden melon seeds, only to hear Wen Ling say again.
"However, in the future, the affairs of the dormitory of this palace will still be handled by Yi Yu, and you are not allowed to come in at will without orders." Wen Ling's voice was stunned.
Xiuzhu shuddered and hurriedly said, "Yes, slave...... The slave and maid know. ”
