The Jinluan hall is empty. There were no courtiers, only Gu Xi Gu Hao knelt down, looking frightened.

Gu Xi didn't dare to look up. He knows his situation best, he has made a big mistake and there is no way to make up for it.

"This is the good news that you two brothers have brought to me!"

Dragon chair. The ancient emperor sat upright, his face expressionless, but his inner emotions were indescribable. The momentum is like a game, one son is wrong, and the opportunity is lost step by step. He could turn a blind eye and acquiesce to his son's plan against the remnants of Xinghai, but he would never allow the interests of the Gu clan to be harmed.

The plan failed. The remnants who were finally recruited rebelled and defected to the sea of stars. This was an immeasurable loss to the dynasty.

The most hateful, the sons did not do well and fell into the hands of the other party. Once it spreads, the reputation of the royal family will be damaged and he will lose face.

"Now, I don't want to say more!"

The ancient emperor slowly stood up, looked at Gu Xi kneeling under His Royal Highness with majestic eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xi'er, since you have done it, you have to bear the consequences...... I need you to put an end to this! ”

Gu Xi's back was cold, and he didn't feel good. He can figure out his father's heart at this moment, sacrifice himself, and return to a balanced and stable situation.

"The bereaved person is a big trouble for my Gu clan's henchmen!"

It's about your own future and destiny. Gu Xi raised his head and argued vigorously: "Everything that Erchen has done is for the sake of my Gu clan's royal family, and I also ask my father to be gracious!" ”

"You're right! Everything you said is indeed for the sake of my Gu clan! ”

The Ancient Emperor sighed and said slowly: "But if you change to your father, you will only do it if you are absolutely sure...... And if you do it and fail, you should bear the consequences! ”

did not give his son a chance to defend himself. saw that the face of the Gu clan ruler turned cold, and shouted: "Someone! ”

A 'whoosh' sound was heard. Four men in black appeared like ghosts, knelt on one knee, and came to the front of the temple.

"Escort him to the inner court, waste gas veins, and imprison the Yuanlong Courtyard!"

"Yes!"

The four men in black respectfully accepted the order. Executed. Gu Xi's hands and feet were tied, his face was like ashes, revealing indescribable despair. Born in the royal family, he knows best the punishment he is about to face, which can be described in one sentence, life is better than death, and there will never be a day to turn over.

Gu Hao wanted to intercede for his brother. It's just that as soon as he raised his head, he saw his father's majestic and cold eyes, and immediately fell to the ground in fright, and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Just when Gu Xi's heart was extremely desperate. A sweet voice rang out.

"Wait!"

The man in black is the inner court guard. He doesn't obey anyone's dispatch, and directly belongs to the most mysterious power of the ancient emperor. At this moment, he paused and obeyed the instructions of the comer.

A palace beauty slowly walked into the main hall. It is Gu Xuan, the princess of the Gu family, the most trusted and beloved daughter of the ancient emperor today.

"Third sister save me!"

When Gu Xi saw his sister-in-law coming, a flash of hope flashed in his desperate eyes. He knew that now if he wanted to persuade his father to take back his fate, the other party was the only one.

Gu Xuan didn't have a look at her brother. He went straight to the temple, and went up the steps to his father. The dragon chair, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power of the Gu clan, is next to it, and the non-monarch is close to kill him. But she is calm.

"Xuan'er, the general situation is already understood by my father...... You don't have to intercede for him! ”

The Ancient Emperor spoke. Of course, he knew the purpose of his daughter's appearance at this moment. He sat down again and sighed, his expression full of disappointment and helplessness.

"Father, although the eldest brother is a little anxious for quick success this time, the starting point is not wrong...... Your punishment is too heavy! ”

Gu Xuan came behind the ancient emperor, and while persuading, he reached out for his father, gently rubbing and massaging his shoulder. Gu Xi and Gu Hao saw it in their eyes, and they were full of envy. Since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection. They are no exception. The person sitting on the dragon chair above is their father, who is close to each other. But the monarch and the minister come first, and the father and son come last.

Others do not have this honor and enjoy the rare family affection of the royal family. However, Danhuang can.

"If you don't punish severely, how can you calm the anger of the star sea? If these remnants make a fuss, my Gu clan may never have a peaceful day! ”

Of course, the ancient emperor had a last resort. Otherwise, he would not be willing to treat his son who had high hopes for him like this.

"A small punishment is enough! As for Xinghai, her daughter has been appeased, and there will be no problems! Gu Xuan said eloquently. Confident.

For this daughter, the ancient emperor was extremely trusted, and after hearing this, he pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Gu Xi, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, and said slowly: "Okay, since Xuan'er intercedes for you, I will open the net, punish you for three months, pay you a year, unload all court affairs, and think about it behind closed doors...... Without my permission, you can't take half a step out of the house, otherwise you won't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and son! ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Gu Xi was grateful. For him, this is already the best result.

"And you! Get out of here and go to the western territory, and you can't return without an edict! ”

"Yes! Be! Erchen immediately set off and returned to the fiefdom! ”

Although Gu Hao was not punished, he was also strictly ordered to leave the imperial capital. He was also relieved, after all, he also participated in the operation against the remnants of the Star Sea. This punishment is already considered the lightest.

After Gu Xi Gu Hao thanked him for his withdrawal from the Jinluan Palace. The ancient emperor looked at his beloved daughter and said in a deep voice: "That guy won't be so easy to talk to, Xuan'er, did you give any promise?" ”

To be able to sit on the throne of the dragon chair, the ancient emperor is of course not a mediocre person, on the contrary, he has a keen eye and a delicate insight. I didn't say these words just now, but I left a loving face for my beloved daughter. At this moment, there are only two father and daughter left, and of course you have to ask clearly.

"Father, the emperor sees it!"

Gu Xuan smiled: "It's not a promise, that guy just asked his daughter to say some good things in front of his father for the fifth brother!" ”

When the ancient emperor heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy. Suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair, and said angrily: "I don't know whether I am alive or dead, I think I have full wings, and I dare to meddle in the housework of my Gu clan's royal family, it's hateful!" ”

Maybe it's because of the weakness of the body. Under the excitement, this Ninety-Five Supreme Ruler of the Huaxia Continent was the first and unique, his face was red, his breath was short, and he coughed again and again.

Gu Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and beat his back. His face was full of concern.

Half ringing. The situation of the ancient emperor was better, he took a long breath, his angry face did not change, and he said hatefully: "And that beast, if you want to seek a big position, you can't be in cahoots with the relics of the Xinghai, you should be killed!" ”

The 'beast' in his mouth is, of course, Fang Xiaobao's friend Gu Lie. The most unpopular prince in the imperial capital.

Gu Xuan had a different opinion. While continuing to massage his father's back, he said softly: "Father, my daughter knows that because of the fifth brother and concubine, you have never liked him...... But don't forget, father, he is your son, just like the eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother! ”

After a pause, the finger pointed to the dragon chair and said: "With all due respect to my daughter, no matter who sits on this dragon chair in the future, as long as his father's blood flows in his bones, the Huaxia Continent will not change hands, and it will always be the foundation of my Gu clan!" ”

It's a fact. The ancient emperor couldn't refute it, but he was not happy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, do you really want your father to pass on the throne to the fifth child?" ”

"Father's dragon body is healthy, for thousands of generations!"

Gu Xuan squatted down, snuggled under the Gu Huang's knees, and said flattering words in her mouth, but her pretty face flashed a touch of gloom. Because she knows best her father's situation, or the ultimate fate of the kings of the Gu clan. The mood is unconsciously a little low.

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father. The ancient emperor touched and stroked his daughter's hair, his majestic face showed rare kindness, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, people are not gods, the ancestor cannot be passed down for generations, how dare he overstep his ancestors as a father...... On that day, as long as my Gu clan can be passed down from generation to generation, I will have no regrets as a father! ”

Gu Xuan is not an ordinary woman. After the depression, it quickly returned to normal. I saw her raise her snow-white chin, look at her father, and say in a deep voice: "Father, my daughter just wants you to understand one thing, everyone has weaknesses, and our Weihai Gong is no exception!" ”

"Oh!" The Ancient Emperor came to be interested.

Gu Xuan stood up, Danfeng's eyes shone with brilliance, and he said slowly: "His weakness is that he attaches great importance to the love of brothers and friends, otherwise he would not have shown favor again and again after his daughter's malicious temptation, wanting to win over his daughter to help the fifth brother compete for the throne!" ”

The ancient emperor listened thoughtfully, "Xuan'er, what do you mean ......?"

"No matter what, the fifth brother is your son, my prince of the Gu clan...... As long as his father is slightly adjusted, the fifth brother can understand the way of the emperor...... The daughter believes that the fifth brother in Japan will definitely do his best to protect the interests of the royal family and give up some personal feelings that should not be had! ”

At this point, Gu Xuan looked at his father and said slowly: "If there is really that day, maybe the trouble of the bereaved people will no longer exist, all the overseas places of the four territories and eight provinces will be surrendered, and the glory of the ancestral emperor will return!" ”

Hearing this, the ancient emperor completely understood his daughter's intentions. Lost in thought.

"Father, these are all afterwords, you don't have to worry about it!"

Gu Xuan said what was in her heart, and then changed the subject, "My daughter brought back a night wolf dead soul warrior from the western suburbs, is my father interested in meeting this person?" ”
