The corners of Gu Xi's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Yun Yanlong, I need to let him know what it's like to be alone and helpless, and be afraid all day long." Isn't he suspicious? Heart disease still needs heart medicine. ”

Ziyi felt a teasing look and a sly smile in his son's eyes again, Childe, are you sure this is not funny, have a lot of fun?

Did he miss out on anything because he was too scared? His son-in-law is not an immortal in the eyes of the world, cold-hearted and cold-hearted? Is his son-in-law too hidden in the past, or has he changed too much now?

Gu Xi didn't seem to know anything about the surprise and distraction of his family, and only glanced at him from the corner of his eye, smiling more and more. He sighed lightly, and suddenly asked, "Have the arrangements in the palace been done according to my orders?" ”

Ziyi immediately came back to his senses, trembled all over, and said with his head bowed: "Childe, please rest assured, everything has already been in order, and nothing goes wrong." ”

Gu Xi pursed his lips and whispered, "Okay, let's go." Seeing Ziyi bow down and jump away by the window, he secretly wondered in his heart, Ah Yan, when will he come back?

In the Ulguo Palace.

After the royal family and the hundred officials bowed, after the funeral, the emperor Yun Yanlong drove back to the palace and rested for a while.

He was unsettled all the way, or rather, since King Jing wrote a confession and sentenced himself in prison, to the palace where the haunted Queen Mother Liqixi went, his heart has never been settled.

I always feel that someone designed the layout of all this, just like King Jing's rebellion and the appearance of blood characters in Dali Temple, all of which came for him, the emperor.

Outside the dormitory, the courtyard is deep, and the wind shakes the trees. In the severe cold of the heavens and the earth, dripping into ice, there are still dark guards, and the long snow and murderous aura are faint, permeating every corner, suppressing everyone's breathing and becoming extremely slow and unprovoked deep.

In the dormitory, the gorgeous decorations, the noble furnishings, all these are pleasing to the eye, but at this extraordinary moment, they are useless.

Under Yun Yanlong's plain clothes is a black dragon robe, hairpins and nine dragon crowns, handsome and slightly sharp face, his face is pale, his eyebrows are constricted, and he looks more and more worried, fidgeting indoors. Although the person was sitting on the Taishi chair, his eyes were not quiet for a moment.

Who else can he rely on now? Yun Yanzheng and Yun Yanjin all have long-cherished suspicions with him, not to mention that he tried to get rid of them several times, that is, the things that the Queen Mother did when she was planning for his position as the crown prince in the palace are all related to them.

The partition wall has ears, and the paper can't contain the fire after all.

Now, the three of them have long been enemies, and they are extremely red-eyed, and they are not in the same state of life and death.

Yi Wang Yanqi, the younger brother of a mother's compatriot? was not close to him, and he has always relied on the favor of the Queen Mother to do nonsense, but now he has lost a backer to rely on, and he is a person who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures.

Chu Ruirong, the prince of Zhenfang Houfu and the commander of the forbidden army?

This person is loyal to the king in order to shake the Marquis Mansion, but unfortunately Chu Ruirong can do limited things for him.

If there is a person like Gu Xi by his side who has great wisdom and great means. Yun Yanlong thought over and over again, if there was really such a person by his side, how could he make this person loyal and not threaten his throne?

Who was the one who wanted to murder him back then?

Is it the King of Peace? As his confession said, it was the Queen Mother who killed his mother, so he wanted revenge; Was it that after the emperor agreed to borrow troops, he made his mother concubine the queen and made him the crown prince and then broke his promise, so he wanted to regain the throne?

Or is there someone behind King Jing who is manipulating this matter?

And this person is the Gu Xi who has always made people feel that he is unpredictable?

Or is it the descendants of the former dynasties in the four countries, and the means are very Yan Rong?

The wind blew the shadows, the candles were burning, and even though there were many stoves burning in the dormitory, it still made him feel cold from under his feet, and he only felt that even though he was wearing the thickest clothes, he still felt cold in his heart, without a little warm breath.

The embattled realm, I'm afraid it's just that?

Yun Yanlong was apprehensive.

Since then, Gu Xi appeared in his bedroom that day, looking at the person in front of him who had obviously died under Ling Chi, died in the prison, and was now hidden in the Xishan cemetery, he actually "came back from the dead", although he was born as an emperor, he trembled.

Those secret guards outside the hall turned out to be useless to Gu Xi.

On the red sandalwood soft couch, on the brocade cloud cushion, he was dressed in white clothes and ethereal like a cloud, sitting cross-legged elegantly, on his clear and world-famous face, the smile in his eyes was so pure and flawless, so gentle and noble, his voice was soft and polite, but the words he said made people fall into hell: "Your Majesty, I am back again." The Buddha of the West Heaven said that hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha. I don't go to hell, who does. I have returned now, intending to cross you to Buddhahood! ”

At that moment, he suddenly became weak, powerless to resist, and couldn't even make a sound. He could only slowly and uncontrollably collapse on the ground, watching Gu Xi approach step by step, looking at him with a smile, and said with his lips closed: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to lose the throne, let's talk about each other's deals, otherwise, there are still many people in the Wei Kingdom who can sit on this dragon chair in the palace?" ”

He was controlled by others, so he could only nod angrily.

He didn't want to die yet.

Now, he wants to rebel and doesn't want to be a puppet emperor. But as the lord of a country, he has no power to rely on, and the person in the eldest princess's mansion has laid a net in the palace of the Ul Kingdom. Whenever he made the slightest move, someone would come and warn him.

On the way back to the palace, a pill appeared in the chariot. Yun Yanlong looked at it, Dengshi's heart jumped suddenly, and his body was half cold, he wanted to attack Yun Yanzheng's diet during this period of mourning, and use secret guards to imprison her in the palace, so as to threaten Gu Xi.

He acted secretly with his henchmen, but he was still discovered by the other party, and he used a pill as a warning instead of a dagger.

Gu Xi seems to be able to ask for his life at any time, but he keeps him, what is this for? Yun Yanlong trembled all over, and his heart was deeply puzzled, and he couldn't understand his intentions.

The changes in the palace have become calm again under the control of a big hand.

Seven days later, Yun Yanzheng returned to the Eldest Princess's Mansion unharmed.

After showering and changing, it was another full meal.

Outside the house, there was a lot of snow, and the night was long and cold.

In the bedroom, the nine-story lotus lantern shines like a star, reflecting everything in the room. A few white plums outside the window are quietly blooming, and they are competing with the snowflakes, and a few wisps of faint fragrance are penetrated into the astragalus, with the cool breath of ice and snow becoming more and more exciting.

Yun Yanzheng was quite satisfied lying on the beauty couch beside Gu Xi, holding the pair of porcelain dolls as white as jade in his hand and playing with them. glanced at Gu Yi, who was concentrating on drawing a small portrait of her, and asked casually, "Is there any news from Chengguo?" ”

Although she trusts Gu Xi now, she doesn't completely rely on him. Her guards are still following her instructions and are constantly collecting news from various countries.

During the funeral, she had nothing to do, but she thought about the situation in Kyushu and the four countries now. knew that Gu Xi would not sit idly by, and he hadn't gotten the news yet, so he had to ask him first.

The purple micro-fine in Gu Xi's hand put down the pen without pause, without thinking at all, and said idly: "Qin Wuxian and Qin Wuxue were both planted by Yan Rong, Qin Wuxian was coerced by him, and he didn't dare to do anything. But Qin Wuji protected himself, my people protected Emperor Cheng, and it was not easy for Yan Rongji to make a difference, you see, should we join forces with Qin Wuji? ”

He asked lightly, and there was dispensability in his tone.

Yun Yanzheng suddenly smiled playfully, turned his eyes and whispered: "The matter of forming an alliance, I have already discussed it with Qin Wujian five years ago, you say, what is more appropriate and reliable than the marriage of the two countries?" ”

Gu Xi nodded indifferently and said, "If you want to get married, it's not impossible." ”

Yun Yanzheng smiled and said, "But the eldest of the princesses under His Majesty's knees is only seven or eight years old, isn't it too young?" ”

Gu Xi curled his lips and smiled, and said disapprehantly: "It's too small, it's not enough to achieve great things." Let His Majesty choose a woman with both intelligence and excellent appearance from the family of the ministers of the court, recognize a righteous sister, and send a book to marry Qin Wuji. ”

After Yun Yanzheng was stunned for a moment, he sneered and quipped: "But there is a real eldest princess who is not married, and she has nothing to do all day long, and her corpse is vegetarian, so she is not allowed to go to work for the country, but let the daughter of the minister's family go to a foreign country to contribute to the country instead, so it will inevitably make the ministers of the DPRK and China dissatisfied?" What's more, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, and this palace can't help it. ”

Gu Xi already knew it in his heart, smiled secretly at this moment, and said naturally: "Oh, the eldest princess wants to marry, and I also just want to be a concubine, when do you think we will get married?" ”

Yun Yanzheng shrugged and smiled, looking at Gu Xi with sparkling eyes, but asked rhetorically: "If you don't get married, how do you say you can form an alliance?" ”

Gu Xi didn't raise his eyes, only lowered his eyelashes and continued to paint, and said coldly: "The grace of saving lives should be repaid with a spring." Are we holding him hostage in order to repay him? ”

Yun Yanzheng looked at him with a smile, seemed to see the evil smile in his heart again, turned his head and kissed Gu Xi's little porcelain face, and asked softly: "Then you say, when will we get married?" What she thought in her heart, he would always know that she would not go to the marriage, and he didn't want the woman next to her to go for her.

The alliance with Chengguo, everyone's purpose is the same as to deal with Yan Rongzhi and temporarily stabilize the situation, Qin Wujian is in need of others' help, and he will not refuse at this moment. As for the future, if the two countries go to war, it will not involve a woman who once served the country and her home, and innocently sacrifice herself under such changing power.

For her, who is also a woman and is the eldest princess, she can't bear to be like this.

As she said, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Gu Xi shook his head at her question before he said, "How about waiting for everything to settle?" The wedding of the eldest princess of Wei Kingdom, there will inevitably be many people who want to come to congratulate each other, but I don't want anyone to make trouble and spoil our joy. When the four countries are temporarily peaceful, I will stay with you for a long time, a total of years, okay? ”

Yun Yanzheng's eyes flashed with promise, she turned over, leaned on Gu Xi's shoulder gently, and whispered, "Okay!" Reaching out to hold his other hand, feeling the coldness in that hand, his heart was half happy and half sad.
