In the Agarwood Palace, Gu Zhiran was drinking with his head up, chic and happy, and the concubine was prostrate on his side and pinched his shoulders for him, with a delicate and charming appearance.

"Your Majesty, don't always drink, eat something." Saying that, his slender fingers twisted up a piece of pastry and sent it to Gu Zhiran's mouth, Gu Zhiran looked at her sideways, his eyes were gentle and delicate, and he wanted people to drown in the water.

Concubine Wan looked at him eatingly, if only the emperor could always spoil her like this, even if it was just someone else's shadow, it didn't matter, as long as there was the emperor's favor, the queen or the fourth concubine, wouldn't Zhaoyang help her?

Gu Zhiran smiled lightly and bit the pastry, and at this moment a guard walked in, knelt down on one knee in the hall and said: "Good news for the emperor, His Royal Highness the King of War has fallen out with Miss Fu, the two of them haven't seen each other for several days now, and Miss Fu seems to be angry with His Royal Highness the King of War, and she doesn't even want to mention His Royal Highness the King of War." ”

Gu Zhiran immediately came to his senses, and laughed a little rampantly, "There must be something wrong with them, so is my opportunity coming?" He pinched his chin and pondered, and after a while, he said, "Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the palace." ”

Concubine Wan looked at the man who was still with her one moment, and the next moment she left because of another woman, and her heart ached for a while, and there was a hint of jealousy.

The woman......

She remembered the last time she saw her, the appearance of that woman, and knew that she was just a shadow in the eyes of the emperor, and everything she had now was because of that woman, but she just hated it! She wants to be favored by the emperor, but she doesn't want it to be because of another woman.

At this time, in the Qingya Building, Fu Ruan was dealing with the troublemakers, which made her anxious.

"Hmph, I ate cockroaches in your Qingya Building, and you still want to charge me money? What is this called? Believe it or not? The man with the long fat head and big ears stood in the middle of the crowd with a big belly and said loudly, as if he wanted to eat the overlord meal.

At this time, a group of onlookers also pointed to Qingyalou and discussed it from ear to ear.

Fu Ruan had never seen such a porcelain touch, so he couldn't help but want to laugh angrily.

"Qingyalou's reputation in Jingzhou is also one of the best, how can it be that what you say is what? If you want to report to the police, we will accompany you to the end, and I will see if it is the cockroaches in our store or the bed bugs running from somewhere else. Fu Ruan said coldly.

"You...... Don't think I'll be scared if you say that, anyway, I did eat cockroaches in your dishes, and if you get rid of the money for this meal, I'll give up, and if you really want to see an official, I'll accompany you to the end. The pot-bellied man pretended to be calm, but his eyes flickered and he was a thief.

"What are you doing then? Let's go, see the official, what is the truth, there is the master of the blue sky. Saying that, Fu Ruan walked out, the big-bellied man suddenly withered, followed her outside with heavy steps, and then ran in another direction while she was not paying attention, Su Yu hurriedly flew up, landed in front of him, kicked over, and kicked the big-bellied man to the ground.

"Touching porcelain in front of me? You're getting impatient. Fu Ruan walked over and stepped on his neck, making it impossible for the pot-bellied man to stand up.

"Auntie and grandmother spare my life, I haven't eaten for a few days, but I don't have any money, so I can only make this decision." The pot-bellied man began to beg for mercy, but unfortunately Fu Ruan can't listen to it now, and even if he listens, he won't let him go.

Fu Ruan patted Su Yu's shoulder and said, "Throw it away to the yamen." ”

Su Yu nodded, kicked the pot-bellied man fiercely, then grabbed him by the collar and lifted it up, and went to the yamen.

The spectators dispersed in embarrassment, Fu Ruan turned around and walked in, only to see Gu Yunzheng and Hongyuan standing together and talking, looking very familiar.

"You two know each other." She pointed at the two of them and said coldly.

"Well, I know." Gu Yunzheng looked away in embarrassment.

Fu Ruan suddenly lowered his face, pointed at Gu Yunzheng and said, "Do you already know who I am?" ”

Gu Yunzheng said: "When you passed out on the side of the road, I really didn't know, only when you were a girl in your hand, but then I took you back to the inn and saw the jade pendant on your body." "A very innocent look.

Fu Ruan softened his face, stepped forward and walked up to Hongyuan's and said, "No matter what kind of identity I am, and no matter who my relatives are, but I tell you clearly now that I will not recognize them, and I will not leave here." As you can see, I'm living a good life now, with a lot of shops and a lot of money, and I'm living a very chic life. You hurry up to see Zhaoyang, and after reading it, hurry back to Southern Wei, it's best to take this person with you. He pointed at Gu Yunzheng, who lied to her that she had escaped from marriage, why didn't she look like it now, who knows what her purpose was.

Gu Yunzheng sneered, thinking that Fu Ruan was really stingy and held grudges.

Obviously, he saved her at the beginning, and treated him as a benefactor, how did he know that he knew Hongyuan, and hid such a small thing from her, and the reaction was so big.

"Miss Ruan, I can't leave for the time being, and I have to bother your house for a while." Gu Yunzheng said cheekily.

Fu Ruan looked at him with contempt, "Counting the fact that you have been eating and drinking for nothing with me for a while, you have almost repaid you for saving your life." ”

Gu Yunzheng immediately walked up to her and said, "How can this work? Is your life so worthless? In my heart, Miss Fu's life is more important than gold, so let me live for a while. ”

"Okay." Fu Ruan glanced at him.

"Then I'll go to the War King's Mansion first." Hongyuan Road.

Fu Ruan didn't speak, Hongyuan shook his head a little helplessly, and then glanced at Gu Yunzheng with a warning look and left.

"What is the relationship between you and Hongyuan?" Fu Ruan asked curiously, for Hongyuan, the first feeling she had could only be described in one word, that word was 'evil', when Fu Ruan first saw him, the feeling she gave her was a special evil spirit, which inexplicably made her a little scared, it was an indescribable feeling.

"It's just an acquaintance, and it doesn't have anything to do with it." After speaking, seeing Fu Ruan's face of disbelief, he said, "Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth anyway." ”

"Well, trust you." Anyway, she has nothing to deceive, Gu Yunzheng shouldn't have the need to lie.

Hongyuan did not go to the Battle King's Mansion, but sent a carrier pigeon to inform Zhaoyang to come out, he didn't want to see Gu Tingyun for the time being, lest he find himself unhappy.

But Zhaoyang was in a bad mood, and the secret guard sent by Gu Tingyun to Southern Wei came back, but the news he brought was not very good.

Because Zhaoyang's mother is dead.

And after she went to Liangguo, she committed suicide in the cold palace, so Hongyuan has been deceiving her mother all the time.

Hongyuan wants to see her, and she just wants to meet him, asking him why he lied to herself.

"You don't seem to be planning to go back to Southern Wei yet? I'm already pregnant with Gu Tingyun's child, shouldn't you go back first to report the good news to your father? The naïve Zhaoyang thought that Hongyuan didn't know, she didn't have Gu Tingyun's child at all.

"I can't leave yet." He shook his head.

"Why?" Zhaoyang asked curiously.

"The teacher asked me to come to Liangguo to help him find out Fu Ruan's background." Hongyuan said thoughtfully: "If she is really the teacher's daughter, then Fu Ruan is your cousin." ”

Zhaoyang's head banged, his mind went blank, and it took a while to regain his clarity: "What do you mean?" ”

"Fu Ruan looks very similar to the teacher's daughter, and when I first met her, I saw the jade pendant hanging from her. The jade pendant was only half, it was crescent-shaped, and the other was in the hands of Shen Yan, the Zhenwei general. If there are no accidents, Fu Ruan is really the granddaughter of the teacher, your cousin. Hongyuan said lightly.

Back then, Shen Zhiqiu ran away from marriage, was taken to Liangguo by traffickers on the road and sold several places, and finally became married to Fu Jiacheng and had children, so this is why King Nanyang did not find her.

"I didn't conceive Gu Tingyun's child, I lied to you." Zhaoyang Road.

Hongyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded and said, "I know." ”

"You know?" Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows and looked at him in shock.

"It's rare for you to meet a close friend, how could you betray her? And you have someone you like. Hongyuan chuckled.

Zhao nodded and smiled coldly, looked at Hongyuan and said, "So why did you lie to me about my mother's concubine?" ”

Hongyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, how did Zhaoyang know? Could it be that someone went to the Southern Wei Dynasty to investigate? He pretended to be sad and sighed in a low voice, "You know everything? I'm sorry I couldn't stop it in time. I don't want this to happen, I only blame the concubine for her thin life. ”

"Thin life?" Zhaoyang smiled sarcastically, the blame only fell on the emperor's family, what a sad end.

"When I went back, I learned of Niangniang's death, so I didn't tell you so that you could feel at ease in Southern Wei."

Zhaoyang groaned, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with Hongyuan, the most heinous person was her father, and smiled bitterly, "Maybe death is also a relief for my mother." "She has loved her father for so many years, but the emperor who is high up, but she doesn't have half a place in her heart, and then she was ruthlessly treated and sent into the cold palace, and the mother concubine is afraid that her heart is already dead, and it is good to die, so as not to live heartbroken and painful.

Hongyuan stood in the dark room for a long time, and finally sighed.

"I want to leave Jingzhou and go anywhere, but I hope you don't stop me, just let me die in the War King's Mansion. Anyway, my mother also went, so take Gu Zhiran away. Ah Ruan just knows her identity, and she won't go back to Southern Wei, you just think that Shen Zhiqiu died twenty years ago, Ah Ruan is living a good life now. Don't bother her......" After saying that, Zhaoyang got up and left.

"Do you think you can walk? Liangguo and Southern Wei will fight sooner or later, if you are not pregnant with Gu Tingyun's child, you will go to the ends of the earth, and Your Majesty will not let you go. You know Your Majesty's heart, and you know her methods. Hongyuan said in a sympathetic tone.

Zhaoyang was stunned, then turned pale in the face, smiled bitterly, and said with some fear: "Yes, he can even kill his own father, I am just a chess piece, and if I die, I will die." She looked at Hongyuan suddenly, her eyes widened, "Since my mother is also dead, I naturally won't listen to him, you go back and tell your father, anyway, I'm just a chess piece, and in the future, Southern Wei will have nothing to do with me, and he can't threaten me now." ”

Hongyuan's always calm face was also a little cracked when he heard her words at this time, and he grabbed Zhaoyang's hand and said coldly: "Is the princess going to betray Southern Wei?" Do you know that if you betray the Southern Wei Dynasty, even if I kill you now, Your Majesty will not blame me. ”

Zhaoyang hooked his lips and smiled, extremely beautiful, "Taishi is really the most loyal dog of my father, I was treated like this by my father, but I still have to listen to him obediently?" How innocent am I, no matter how much I pay, who is willing to spare my life? Don't you think it's ridiculous and shameful that the dignified Southern Wei still has to rely on a chess piece that is not important? Hongyuan, from the moment my mother died, Southern Wei had nothing to do with me anymore. If you want to kill, you will kill, the opportunity is given to you, if you give up, there will be no more chance. "What about taking the mother concubine out of the cold palace? But the mother concubine died tragically, how could she still be willing to be manipulated by others.

As for death? Zhaoyang is not afraid of death, but Gu Yunzheng......

Thinking of him, Zhaoyang's heart couldn't help but pinch up, anyway, this person didn't like her, maybe she was dead, and she happened to be pure.

At the beginning, in order to keep him by his side, he did not hesitate to force marriage, and the princess of a dignified country forced a man to marry, which made half of the people in the Southern Wei Dynasty laugh at him, but that person still left ruthlessly, I don't know why he came to Liangguo now? Look at her jokes?
