Chapter 236

"Listen to you...... Could it be that there is something wrong with this princess? Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Xizhi's eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"Madame really deserves to be the middle of the women." Chu Xizhi smiled brightly at Xiao Xiwei's gaze.

Hearing Chu Xizhi's words, Xiao Xiwei was a little surprised, "How is this possible......

"Why can't it?" Chu Xizhi asked with a smile.

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his lips slightly and stopped talking.

yes, why is it impossible?

The Zhang family didn't want to marry their daughter into the royal family, just right, the emperor didn't want the power of the crown prince Chu Yan to sit big, and with the emperor's intentional acquiescence, it was not impossible for the Zhang family to send a girl to marry into the East Palace. It's just that it must be the crown princess, the prince's concubine, so it has to be calculated, how much does the emperor 'cherish' Chu Yanzhi's son?

Looking at Xiao Xiwei's expression at the moment, how could Chu Xizhi not guess what she was thinking at the moment. At that moment, he sighed, stretched out his hand and took Xiao Xiwei into his arms, "The emperor's family, even between father and son, is still more suspicious than affectionate after all. ”

Listening to the sigh between Chu Xizhi's lips, Xiao Xi raised his head slightly and looked deeply at Chu Xizhi's eyes, stretched out his hand to hold his face and said word by word, "Xizhi, you are different from them." ”

In her previous life, she lived her life ignorantly and didn't know the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power, but now, she has experienced these things and gambled all this with her own eyes, how can she not understand?

The most ruthless imperial family.

There had never been a moment when she understood that sentence like she did now.

Even the emperor's favorite son, Chu Yanzhi, once his wings were full enough to threaten his throne, then he would suppress him mercilessly.

This is the Emperor's House.

But the only thing she is glad about is that the person she is holding, her husband, her lover, he is different from them.

Looking at the moving water light carried in those watery eyes, Chu Xizhi couldn't help but warm his chest, but said with a smile on his face, "How dare you be so sure?" ”

"Because, you are my husband......"

The gentle words were like a feather gently crossing the tip of his heart, and like a clear stream flowing through his chest. It wasn't until many years later that Chu Xizhi stood alone at the highest tower in the Imperial City of Dayue and looked at the lights of thousands of homes under the Imperial City, he could still clearly remember Xiao Xiwei's expression when he said this, his slender eyebrows were raised gently, and his face was clearly reflected in his eyes like water, and the smile on the corner of her lips was like an epiphany blooming in the dark night, and even there was an inexplicable fragrance floating in the air......

How much he wished that time would be frozen in this moment forever.

Chu Xi rested in Xiao Xisheng's boudoir all night, and naturally, he had no time to care about Chu Muzhi. And Chu Muzhi, who waited all night and didn't wait for news, although he was confused in his heart, he finally left Beijing with doubts and resentment.

Since Gu An was demoted by four levels in a row, the Gu family was snubbed and never returned to its former glory. Gu An was willing to do this, and he was stopped several times when he asked to see the prince, and after a few times, he transferred all his anger to Gu Qingyou, and directly ordered someone to lock up this bad daughter in the firewood room.

When Gu Cheng walked to the firewood room drunk with the wine bottle, Gu Qingyou inside had already heard the movement.

"Ah Cheng."

Hearing the urgency in Gu Qingyou's words, Gu Cheng sat on the ground, looked up through the locked door, and poured another sip of wine.

Zhu Rubai died, Ping'an Bofu cut the lord and raided the house, Dali Temple Siqing and Zuo Sicheng were dismissed, and his father was also implicated, and now, even Haiyang has an accident......

The cause of all this is because of him.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng only felt that the liquid in his mouth was like sulfuric acid corroding a huge hole in his body.

"Ah Cheng, is that you?" Gu Qingyou, who was inside, seemed to sense something, and shouted again in a low voice.

"Sixth sister." Gu Cheng leaned against the door frame, and his voice was dry and hoarse due to several days of alcoholism.

"Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you? You...... Are you drinking? Through the door, Gu Qingyou seemed to smell the strong smell of wine on Gu Cheng's body.

Gu Cheng didn't speak, he raised his head and poured a sip of wine into his throat heavily.

The hot liquid burned from his throat to his heart and lungs, and he felt that every vein in his body was burned by the fire, but he couldn't stop. Because, only the pain made the guilt in his heart a little less.

"Ah Cheng, is something wrong?" Gu Qingyou, who was behind the door, shouted worriedly.

Gu Cheng pursed the corners of his dry lips vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "No." ”

Can he tell her that everything that has happened lately is because of him?

No.

He couldn't say anything.

There was silence behind the door for a while, and Gu Qingyou's voice sounded sadly, "Ah Cheng, is it because of me?" ”

She's not smart, but she's not stupid.

Since King Ning was poisoned, all the testimonies pointed to her, but King Qin tried his best to believe in her innocence, because she, King Qin and Princess Yan turned against each other, and she was in the center of this whirlpool and was able to retreat with her whole body, she faintly felt that something was wrong.

Princess Yan's intelligence, even if she is in the boudoir, she still has heard of it, according to her means, if she really believes that King Ning died at her hands, she believes that even if King Qin protects her, she will definitely not escape death. However, she is not only alive, but also alive and well. And although King Qin seemed to be very angry with Princess Yan in front of her, he still inadvertently showed an indescribable respect, and there was definitely something hidden in it. Therefore, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, she deliberately smashed herself, firstly, to prove her innocence, and secondly, to see Princess Yan's reaction. Later, things turned out as she guessed, although Princess Yan's face did not change, a trace of surprise and admiration flashed in her eyes. She later guessed that Princess Yan should have guessed her own thoughts. When she returned home, she thought carefully about the cause of the incident several times, and finally vaguely guessed the reason. That night, she showed her heart to King Qin on the spot and begged the emperor for marriage, and the people of King Qin's party took the opportunity to confirm her father's charge of bullying the king, but the prince Chu Yanzhi took the opportunity to sell her father a favor, she guessed that after this incident, the prince must have asked her father to poison King Ning to show his father's loyalty to him, and the person chosen by the prince must have been just assigned to the king of Qin, and her father obviously agreed to the prince's request in the end, so what she gave to King Ning would be manipulated, but she was able to get out in the end, And Princess Yan and King Qin seemed to have anticipated all this in advance, she thought, someone must have reported to Princess Yan and King Qin in this issue, and the only person who knew all this and had a reason to do so seemed to be ...... Her younger brother - Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng, who was leaning on the door, held the wine bottle, stared at the lonely sky above his head with a dull gaze, and did not answer.

"I'm sorry, Ah Cheng......" After waiting for Gu Cheng's response for a long time, Gu Qingyou lowered his eyes and said in a choked voice.

Gu Cheng shook his head, "Sixth sister, it's none of your business. ”

He was the one who leaked the news to Lu Haichuan, so those people were also implicated because of him......

"Ah Cheng, you have always been upright, the prince is ......"

Prince, he and you are not all the way.

Gu Qingyou thought about this sentence in her heart for a long time, but she still didn't say it after all.

She knows her younger brother too well, he has no city government and is upright, as soon as he entered Yan Yunwei, he became friendly with Lu Haiyang, and then Lu Haiyang met Chu Yanzhi, who was still the fourth prince at the time, he was inseparable from them all these years, and he had long regarded the prince and Lu Haiyang as his brothers, and believed in them, how could he have thought deeply about what kind of people these brothers he trusted unreservedly? But in any case, his brotherly affection for Chu Yanzhi and Lu Haiyang is true, in order to save her, he had to betray them is already sad and guilty, and later because of this matter, the prince was reprimanded, and his father, Ping'an Bofu, and Dali Siqing were all implicated, how should he feel uncomfortable?

Therefore, there are some things that she wants to say, but she still can't say them after all.

"Sixth sister, something happened to Haiyang." No, Gu Qingyou didn't speak, but Gu Cheng suddenly spoke.

"He? What happened to him? Gu Qingyou frowned.

In her impression, Lu Haiyang is an extremely thoughtful person, if it weren't for the fact that Princess Yan was cheated by Princess Yan at the beginning, presumably at this time, he would have taken over her father's position and become the commander of the Royal Forest Army.

"It is said that he drank too much wine on the night of the prince's wedding, and accidentally fell off the horse and injured his head." Gu Cheng said, when he picked up the wine bottle and was about to fill it again, he suddenly found that the wine bottle was empty, he felt a feeling of suffocation in his chest, and raised his hand to slam the empty wine bottle to the ground.

'Smack'.

The sound of the porcelain piece breaking made Gu Qingyou's eyebrows jump suddenly, she anxiously reached out and patted the door, and shouted worriedly, "Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Sixth sister......" Gu Cheng suddenly buried his face in the crook of his arm and cried lowly, "I'm sorry for Haiyang, and I'm sorry for the prince...... I don't deserve to be their brother......"

Gu Qingyou was stunned, "Ah Cheng, Master Lu's matter is just an accident, you ...... Don't blame yourself too much. ”

"No, not an accident." Gu Cheng shook his head vigorously, "It's me...... That night, he had asked me to tell the prince that he would let Princess Yan admit everything herself, but ...... But I was knocked unconscious...... Later, it came out that he was drunk and fell and injured himself...... It's Princess Yan, it must be made by Princess Yan. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but clench his teeth, and a terrifying hatred burst out of his eyes.

This woman is so vicious!

Even if he couldn't see Gu Cheng's expression at this time through the door, Gu Qingyou could hear the resentment on his face from his words, "Ah Cheng, Princess Yan is not what you think......"

"Sixth sister, you are still speaking for her at this time." Gu Cheng stood up suddenly.

Sensing that his tone didn't seem right, Gu Qingyou also hurriedly stood up and clinged to the closed doorway, "Ah Cheng, you calm down first, don't come nonsense." ”

At this time, where could Gu Cheng still listen to Gu Qingyou's words, he wiped a handful of tears, stared at the closed door with cold eyes and said to Gu Qingyou inside, "Sixth sister, don't think about that King Qin, he was sent to the northwest early this morning to quell the chaos, I don't know if he can come back alive, take care!" After speaking, he turned his head, no matter how Gu Qingyou shouted, he left without looking back.
