Chapter Seventy-Nine: Two Men Who Quarreled
Gu Jue walked over slowly, then carefully stared at the child in Yu Zhiyan's arms, and said incorrectly, "I look a little like General Ben, could it be that you secretly conceived General Ben's heir." ”
Although he was joking, Yu Zhiyan and Feng Huang trembled in their hearts when they heard it, and Feng Huang's eyes involuntarily fell on Yu Zhiyan's face, and then fell on the child's body.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Zhiyan only wanted to sew a needle into his mouth, saving him from talking nonsense here.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Gu Jue's voice was annoyed, and he suddenly stopped a palace maid passing by, "Stop." ”
When the palace maid saw Gu Jue calling herself, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and listened to her steps, "What do you command?" ”
Gu Jue dragged her to Yu Zhiyan without any scruples, and then asked, "You look at this kid who looks like General Ben, isn't it very similar." ”
The palace maid had just entered the palace, so naturally she didn't know Gu Jue and Feng Huang, but she saw Gu Jue ask like this, and she didn't even look at it, but said directly: "Sure enough, she looks exactly like the general." ”
Feng Huang was stunned suddenly, and then raised his head to meet Yu Zhiyan's panicked eyes, his expression was a little angry, and a trace of anger crossed his eyes, "What nonsense?" ”
Seeing that he was so angry, Gu Jue's heart also became happy, and he casually took out the silver ticket from his arms and rewarded it to the maid.
The maid was frightened by the anger on Feng Huang's face, took the silver ticket and ran away.
It seemed that everything around her was condensed, and Yu Zhiyan felt the silence before the storm, but the child she was holding in her arms suddenly shouted in a childish voice, "Dad." ”
Although Mo Shu's voice was a little blurred, Yu Zhiyan could still be clearly distinguished, but she was stunned when she saw the child, but she saw him stretching out his hand in the direction of Gu Jue, giggling.
Gu Jue was already stunned, and immediately looked at the two of them with a smile, and there seemed to be a sly and smug look in his eyes.
But he became more and more proud, and only walked to Mo Shu's side, "Let Dad hug him, he is really a good son." ”
Before Yu Zhiyan could react, he saw that he had already snatched the child away, held it in his arms, and coaxed it very leisurely. Mo Shu kept giggling, and his little hands kept touching the unicorn ornament on his shirt.
This situation is like a sharp blade constantly separating Feng Huang's heart, this child is not close to him, he was almost crying and was carried into the palace by him, but he didn't expect him to be so close to Gu Jue.
A wave of jealousy burned in his chest, almost burning all his sanity.
At this moment, the chamberlain who had gone to arrest people came back, carrying a young eunuch in his hand, and he was scolding as he went.
The young eunuch was already scared, he naturally knew Gu Jue, and the matter of his slaughter of the city was rumored in Beijing, and no one was creepy.
Especially when he saw the embarrassed appearance on Gu Jue's body, he was already frightened and had no master.
The eunuch who caught him was busy inviting merit in front of Gu Jue and said: "The general doesn't know, this monkey cub actually wanted to run away when he saw that he was in trouble, and it was not easy for the slave to catch him." ”
Gu Jue teased the child and said: "Now that the queen mother is pregnant, where can I interrogate him, General Ben will still send him to the worship room, and only deal with it according to the palace rules, only saying that he wants to murder General Ben." ”
After such a big crime, the little eunuch is afraid that he will not survive.
Yu Zhiyan saw that he was still a child, but he was just joking for a while, how could he really kill him. It's just that Yu Zhiyan didn't know how to plead, and the child in Gu Jue's arms actually cried.
Gu Jue saw Mo Shu crying pitifully, and hurriedly said, "Don't you like to kill people?" I'll spare him, don't cry. ”
On the long road, a gust of wind blew, and Yu Zhiyan's heart seemed to be scratched by a cat's paws, and he couldn't help but be stunned, Gu Jue at this time was really like a loving father.
"Forget it, get out of here." Gu Jue flicked his hands a little annoyed, and the eunuch saw that he had picked up a life, so he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then ran away in a hurry.
The infant child really stopped crying, and his mouth crooked, and he actually laughed.
Even Yu Zhiyan was amused by his appearance, and stretched out his jade-like fingers to touch his little face.
In a trance, Yu Zhiyan actually felt a sense of anger, and when she noticed it, she realized that it was too late. I saw that Feng Huang had already walked over, cold as ice, and stretched out his hand to grab the child.
Where is Gu Jue willing to give, he only dragged the child tightly and refused to let go, Feng Huang also grabbed Biken and let go, and suddenly the frightened child cried, crying heartbreakingly.
Yu Zhiyan suddenly said urgently: "Let go." ”
The bodies of the two men were stiff, but it was Gu Jue who was the first to let go, and the child suddenly fell into Feng Huang's arms, and then the cry suddenly penetrated the long corridor.
Yu Zhiyan's face changed suddenly, he stretched out his hand to Feng Huang, and said in a begging tone, "Give me the child, he is crying." ”
Feng Huang suddenly pulled away her hand, with endless coolness in his voice, "You were the one who gave birth to smash him to the ground, why do you have to pretend like this now." ”
He has never been a bitter person, he is all light-hearted, such a poignant Fenghuang, Yu Zhiyan is indeed the first time to see it, and he is a little overwhelmed in the face of his questioning in an instant.
The body temperature that came from him only made her colder and colder, and it was as if a cold snake was attached to her back, ready to pounce and bite her throat at any time.
Gu Jue saw that Yu Zhiyan was almost pushed to the ground by him, and couldn't help but be furious, "You are just a commoner now, and you dare to push her, General Ben is really impatient when he sees you." ”
After he finished speaking, he hugged Yu Zhiyan in his arms and looked at it carefully, "But where is the injury?" If anyone does hurt you, I'll kill him. ”
Yu Zhiyan closed his eyes, forced his composure, and wiped away his tears, "Donglang, I'm fine, let's go and say hello to the queen, so as not to delay the hour." ”
But where was Gu Jue willing to listen to her, especially when he saw her pitiful and tried his best to endure her grievances, "You are no longer the prince of Nan'an, nor are you a high-ranking royal relative, now that General Ben wants you to kneel, do you dare to kneel?" ”
Feng Huang stared at the two of them, his forehead was bulging, he stood stiff for a long time, and he knelt on his knees resolutely, with a surge in his flat voice, "The grass people don't dare." ”
The child in his arms also stopped crying, and his eyes widened as if it was very interesting.
"Let's go." Gu Jue's lips fell on Yu Zhiyan's cheek, "If you delay any longer, you will miss the hour." ”
After speaking, he wrapped his arms around Yu Zhiyan's waist, so he took her hand and walked along the red brick and green tile corridor without scruples.
Yu Zhiyan walked far away, and looked back involuntarily, but saw Feng Huang slowly standing up, his body was indescribably lonely, his eyes were sour and hot, his chest seemed to be blocked with a boulder, and his tears turned back several times, but after all, they still never fell.
It wasn't until he came to the queen's bedroom that Yu Zhiyan actually saw the emperor. He lost a lot of weight, and he no longer had the radiant appearance he had when he was a prince, and he was a little sick.
He happened to watch the queen come out, and when he saw Yu Zhiyan, his eyes suddenly became lustful again.
Yu Zhiyan still remembered that he deliberately approached him in the Chengguo Mansion, and couldn't help but feel worried, just afraid that he would settle old accounts with him.
After the two of you are sick, you have been getting better lately? Gu Jue showed concern on his face.
"It's better." Although he said this, he still coughed a few times bitterly, "That's it, you go and see the queen, she has a bad face recently, don't be angry with her anymore." ”
When the emperor rode away under the support of the palace people, Yu Zhiyan suddenly muttered: "How can you see that he is very sick, but he has only been on the throne for such a short time." ”
Gu Jue's cold eyes returned to a cold expression, "The emperor likes women, there are countless beauties in the palace, and naturally the body can't bear it, so all the forbidden drugs in the palace are used." ”
Yu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment when she heard his frank statement, and she gradually understood at this time that as long as the queen mother gave birth to the prince, the emperor would not be long in life.
The affairs of the harem were originally managed by the queen, and she made the emperor indulge in excessive desires and hurt his body, but he was afraid that there was no love between husband and wife at all.
In a trance, she was biting her lip and thinking about her thoughts, but unexpectedly her head was flicked vigorously by Gu Jue, "You fool, what are you worried about." ”
While speaking, the two of them were already under the leadership of Sun Xi and slowly entered the queen's bedroom.
The palace people have been dressed up by the queen, the royal blue palace dress, the plump bun is low, and she is sitting on the phoenix chair, and the palace maids gently beat her legs.
When Yu Zhiyan and Dong Lang knelt down for him to say goodbye, they didn't let the two of them get up, but just took out a strand of hair from his sleeve and threw it in front of Yu Zhiyan and Feng Huang at once.
"This is what the palace people found under your pillow when they packed up the things you left behind, do you know?" The queen's voice was cold, and the words were like sharp blades.
Before Yu Zhiyan could think of how to say anything, Gu Jue hurriedly explained: "Xu is her aunt's, Beijing is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, so there must be nothing to think about?" ”
"Shut up." The queen's finger pointed at Gu Jue, her face was a little terrifying, "Remove his hairpin for me." ”
Sun Xi hurriedly ran over, with embarrassment in his voice, but there was schadenfreude in his eyes, General Gu, offended.
After speaking, he tore apart the hair that was tied up high on Gu Jue's head at once, and the delicate long black hair was suddenly draped over his shoulders, smooth and supple like fine silk.
Sun Xi's eyes touched his hair, and then he smiled, "Queen Mother, General Gu is really missing a strand of hair." ”
The queen had expected it a long time ago, but she didn't expect Gu Jue to start a lie for such a woman, and she couldn't help but be furious, "Now you have nothing to explain, Dong Lang, how can the parents of the body be easily destroyed." ”
Seeing that Sun Xi was adding fuel to the fire, he also added fuel and vinegar to the side: "General Gu is too nonsense, only when a loved one dies can his hair be broken, you-"
However, although his words were not finished, the queen really trembled with anger, "Bengong is not dead yet, you curse Bengong like this, but you are really a good brother of Bengong." ”
In the dead and silent hall, Yu Zhiyan lowered his head, not distinguishing his expression, but his mouth was low and hoarse, "This hair is not General Gu's, Grandpa Sun can look carefully, General Gu's short hair on his head is far more than these." ”
Sun Xi's face turned pale, and sure enough, he glanced at Gu Jue's face again. Gu Jue glanced at him with angry eyes, and he suddenly didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
"Sure enough, a lot more." Sun Xipi said with a smile.
"Actually, don't hide it from the queen, Weichen crawled on the desk and fell asleep a few nights ago, but the sparks splashed on his hair, burned a strand of it, and cut it off."
"This palace doesn't believe in such a coincidence." The queen snorted coldly: "This palace knows that you protect her everywhere, so naturally you can't do anything with her." ”
Gu Jue's face couldn't help but soften when she heard her sister say this, but the queen glanced at Yu Zhiyan and said coldly: "Chu Zhaoyi said that she wanted to see you, and she asked someone to come to the palace several times, so you will go and see her today." ”
Yu Zhiyan didn't know what Chu Xixi was looking for, but as long as she could escape from this dormitory that suffocated her, she would throw her into the tiger's den, and she would be willing.
After Yu Zhiyan left, the queen asked Gu Jue to get up, and ordered the palace maids to bring Gu Jue's favorite Biluo Chun
Gu Jue saw that her face softened a little, and sighed, "Sister is not angry with me anymore?" These days, I have been reflecting on it every day in the house. ”
The queen knew that he was just deceiving himself, where would he admit his mistake, so she slowly took a cup of tea, and said while drinking: "Although the palace promised her to be a side room, your wife's position cannot be empty for a long time." ”
He was about to serve the cup of tea, but he paused suddenly, and just smiled lukewarmly, "Who does my sister want me to marry?" ”
The queen put down the tea bowl in her hand. "The little princess of the Xiongnu royal court wants to enter Beijing, but I am afraid that I will choose a husband among the imperial nobles in Beijing, if you can win her heart-"
"Sister, don't hurt me, the Huns are all barbarians, and I can't afford her toss because of my delicate flesh." Gu Jue suddenly laughed, although it was a joke, but there was a solemnity in his words, "Sister, let's choose someone else." ”
"You have to marry that girl, and if you don't marry, you have to marry." The queen sneered, "Are you still not setting up a wife for that woman for the rest of your life, let me tell you, as long as the palace is in the day, the girl will never be straightened out." ”
Gu Jue's hand rubbed the lid of the tea bowl, but a smile appeared in his eyes, "If the princess of the Huns doesn't look down on her brother, don't be annoyed when the time comes." ”
Yu Zhiyan was led to the palace by the palace maid beside the queen's mother, and saw that her bedroom was extravagant, carved beams and painted pillars, like a fairyland on earth.
She wasn't very happy, just sitting in the yard feeding the parrots in the cages.
Seeing Yu Zhiyan coming, there was a smile on her face, "I heard that you are going to become Gu Jue's side room, I have long expected that one day, he will marry you after all." ”
Yu Zhiyan smiled, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he just stood there in a daze.
There are not many palace maids in her palace to serve, and she thinks that she is also cold and lonely, and she doesn't like to be lively.
The woman who is full of luxury is more noble than when she was in the workshop, and she is not clean, and she falls in this palace, and she is also the most colorful and charming one.
"Actually, I asked you to come here just to meet him." Chu Xixi's voice was shallow, "I'm afraid I'll never see you again in the future." ”
Yu Zhiyan thought of the emperor's situation at this time and understood that if the emperor had three long and two short, few of these concubines would survive, especially Chu Xixi, who was the most favored, and the queen naturally couldn't tolerate her.
She, a beauty, will eventually be lost in this deep palace.
She looked at Yu Zhiyan and saw that there were faint traces of blood on her body, and couldn't help but say: "Why is your body so dirty, are you the queen mother you see?" ”
The bloodstains on Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan's bodies and the remains of the crows were mostly cleaned up, and the queen's palace was dark, and she didn't notice the two of them, but now she and Chu Xixi were standing in the courtyard, obviously she noticed it.
"There are clothes in my palace that you wore when you were not canonized, and I asked someone to take you to change them." Chu Xixi's voice was shallow, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
The queen's bedroom is full of waves, and the queen's belly is already very big, and I am afraid that it will not be long before she will give birth. Gu Jue was so bold that he didn't dare to argue with her at this time.
Seeing that Gu Jue didn't contradict herself, the queen was also relieved, and only gave a few orders before letting him leave.
And the date of his side room has been set, but the queen has not received a single reward, and obviously disapproves of this matter very much.
But Gu Jue reached out and wanted to pick up the hair, but was interrupted by the queen, "You still want to take it away, I asked the palace people to burn it, what to do with it." ”
He smiled a little playfully, "Sister, this is also someone else's aunt's thing, just pity her filial piety and return this thing to her." ”
The queen mother has nothing to do with him, "When you disobey the palace, you have a queen mother, but when you ask for a sister in the palace, you are the most powerful." ”
Hearing the queen say this, Gu Jue hurriedly laughed, took the strand of hair and left.
When Gu Jue left the queen's bedroom, he inquired about Yu Zhiyan's whereabouts, and after waiting for a while, he personally went to Chu Xixi's palace to pick up people.
He said angrily as he walked: "It's so decent, can you still detain someone, I don't know what she has in mind." ”
The chamberlain who led the way was frightened and said with a flattering face, "Where did General Gu say this, it's just that Zhaoyi Niangniang is talking to his wife, how can he detain people?" ”
This chamberlain is by Chu Xixi's side, and he looks very honest and honest, but he is not like Sun Xi, who has sharp teeth and a bad stomach.
Soon Gu Jue arrived at Chu Xixi's bedroom, he was naturally a foreign minister who could not step into it casually, so he just asked the eunuch to pass the word, but the eunuch walked for half a pillar of incense, and no one came back.
His patience quickly ran out, and seeing that there was no one around, he went directly into Chu Xixi's dormitory.
Gu Jue vaguely heard that there seemed to be a voice coming from the main hall, so she walked over, she pushed open the door, but saw Chu Xixi sitting in the main hall, and she didn't panic when she saw him coming, but she had already guessed it.
"Where's the cigarette?" His voice was cold, and there didn't seem to be any good tone.
A trace of sadness crossed Chu Xixi's extremely beautiful face, "Donglang, I just want to see you, can you stay here with me for a while?" ”
"What nonsense?" Gu Jue glanced at her coldly, his face full of disgust. "Don't call me Donglang. ”
"When you were in the workshop, you liked to listen to me play the piano the most." She smiled gently, "I learned a new tune, can I play it for you?" ”
He was full of worries about Yu Zhiyan, where to care what she played.
However, her slender jade fingers plucked the guqin in front of the table, and suddenly the sound as clear as flowing water sounded, which was so intoxicating and obsessive.
Gu Jue walked over and grabbed her arm at once, and the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, "What are you crazy about?" ”
"I know I'm dying." She smiled miserably, tears slowly sliding down her eyes, "I'm afraid I'll never be able to tell you what I have in my heart." ”
"Where am I not as good as Yu Zhiyan?" Her voice was sad, "I love you more than her, I am willing to die for you, and you don't even look at me." ”
Gu Jue looked at this dusty and arrogant woman, and her eyes were full of disgust, "You will never be as good as Yu Zhiyan, but I tell you, you had better settle down with me, otherwise your mother who is out of the house will die without a place to be buried." ”
"Okay, I got it." Her hands tugged at her bun tightly, and her fingers were strangled with bruises. "I will never trespass in the future."
Gu Jue glanced at her coldly, but saw that there seemed to be something in her cuffs, and pulled it out as soon as he stretched out his hand, but saw that it was a strand of black hair.
His heart trembled, and he suddenly took out the wisp in his arms, and immediately understood that Yu Zhiyan still deceived him and sent him to other women.
Chu Xixi looked at the hair in his hand, the same length, obviously his, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, but she still stretched out her hand nervously, "Donglang, give it back to me, I just think about it, and I will never think about it in the future." ”
At this time, Chu Xi was as humble as dust, and if Yu Zhiyan saw it at this time, his jaw would definitely fall off.
"You deserve it." Gu Jue's face was so ugly that he could pounce on her and tear her apart, "Hurry up and bring me Yu Zheyan." ”
Gu Jue ignored her, just walked straight outside the hall, and after a while, Yu Zhiyan slowly came out, holding the hem of his skirt.
Her clothes had already been changed, and the light color had a charm when she wore it, but he didn't care about her, so he just kept a cold face.
At this time, he understood, no wonder he touched his head as soon as he entered the palace, and the crow exploded on their heads, he was afraid that this Chu Xixi had already arranged it, obviously this woman was not a simple character, and she would be so calculating, and she had underestimated her before.
Yu Zhiyan didn't know what had just happened, she just freshened up here, and as soon as she came out, she saw Gu Jue's gloomy eyes.
She really couldn't remember where she had offended him, could it be that she was angry in the queen's palace?
