Qihou Mansion, Lingyue Pavilion.

Later, Su Tang'an's window was knocked, she opened the window, and sure enough, she saw Gu Tingjun's figure, he seemed to be a little darker, his eyebrows raised, and he blinked lightly and happily.

Su Cheng silently took a step back, and Gu Tingjun jumped in.

"You're getting more and more familiar. Su Tang'an returned to the desk and said lightly.

"I'm the only one in your boudoir who comes often, tell me yourself, who will you marry if you don't marry me in the future?" Gu Tingjun walked to Su Tang'an's side leisurely, "Are you still reading a book so late?" Or do you know that I will definitely come back to see you after I come back today, so you are waiting for me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, what's the matter here?" asked Su Tang'an lightly.

"Can you be honest?" Gu Tingjun sat on the desk and snatched the book from Su Tang'an's hand, "You clearly know that I came here to see you because I miss you, so why bother asking?

"Are you safe this time?" asked Su Ju'an.

"It didn't matter, it was very smooth along the way. Gu Tingjun said, "By the way, this thing is for you." ”

As he spoke, escaped from his bosom a white, pointy, and shoehorny thing with a hole in its tail, wearing a thin red rope.

"Is this a wolf's tooth?" asked Su Tang'an.

"Not bad. On the way back I hunted a wolf. Gu Tingjun said, "I have polished this wolf tooth, you keep it, in the legend of the grassland, this wolf tooth can ward off evil spirits, may it bless you safely." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Su Ju'an to react, turned behind her, tied the rope around her neck, and said softly, "You just keep carrying it, you can't take it off." ”

Su Tang'an wiped the wolf teeth on the top of her neck and asked, "That little princess is very beautiful, right?"

The corners of Gu Tingjun's mouth hooked, and he said: "To tell the truth, beautiful! vigorous and smart, it has a different style from the women of our Da Zhou." However, don't worry, people didn't take a fancy to me, the little princess already has a heart, and she came to the capital this time to find her sweetheart. ”

"I'm just asking, what are you doing with so many explanations?" Su Tang'an said lightly.

"Aren't you afraid that you will be jealous?" Gu Tingjun said, "By the way, she will enter the palace tomorrow to meet Your Majesty, and I will take her to the capital for a walk in the day after tomorrow, and you can go with her, you will like her temperament." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Princess Yaruo is the favorite youngest daughter of the Khan of the Keqin Grassland, her mother is the holy daughter of the Gel Grassland next to her, she is the flower of the Keqin Grassland, but she is the one who is held in the palm of her hand. ”

Su Tang'an paused slightly, and understood the meaning of Gu Tingjun's words, this little princess has an extraordinary influence on Keqin Grassland and Geer Grassland, and she can make good friends.

"I don't know who the little princess's sweetheart is. Su Tang'an asked.

"It should be a young and handsome general, and he saved her life. Gu Tingjun said, "On the evening of the twenty-ninth day, there will be a banquet in the palace, and at that time, His Majesty will gather all the young generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and let Princess Yaruo recognize people by herself." ”

"What if this person is the Marquis of Xuanyuan?" asked Su Tang'an's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What else can it be?" Gu Tingjun smiled faintly, "No matter what, people come all the way to find it, if they really find it, no matter who it is, it's always a good thing, isn't it?"

Gu Tingjun lay down on Su Ju'an's bed, put his hands behind his head, looked at the top of the bed and said, "Has Your Majesty ever mentioned your marriage to you?"

"I mentioned it. ”

"You wouldn't still say that you don't want to get married, right?" Gu Tingjun said while still looking at the hollow pattern on the top of the bed.

"Hmm. ”

"Su Cheng'an, you are a bully, you clearly want to marry me. Gu Tingjun smiled and said, he got up and looked at the woman in front of the desk scrutinically, "I've only been in the capital for half a month, and I heard that you have provoked the envoys of Yuguo again? ”

"Eldest Sun Qi is worthy of wearing a pair of pants with you, and he has to tell you everything. Su Tang'an said lightly.

"Don't worry, if you meet that Bailiqi next time, I will definitely teach him a lesson and avenge you. ”

Su Tang'an closed the book, was silent for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty asked you to go to pick up the princess of the grassland into Beijing this time, do you intentionally want you to enter the court as an official, you have always wanted to stay out of the matter, and no one has ever wanted you to continue to be free, right?"

"Yes, but Your Majesty means so. Gu Tingjun said, "At the beginning, the second prince and the crown prince competed, and I was able to ignore political affairs, but now the second prince is losing and retreating, gathering his wings, the prince is sharp, and there is Xuanyuan Marquis behind him, this is not the result that His Majesty wants to see." ”

"Does he want to push you out against Li Changlong?" asked Su Ju'an.

That seems to be the case. ”

Su Cheng'an's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "You used to be outside the power of the court, what ability do you have to compete with Li Changlong now?"

"When you ask this, you are not only underestimating me, but also underestimating Your Majesty. Gu Tingjun said, "Your Majesty had expected that the situation would develop in this direction, and a few years ago, a group of young talents had begun to be cultivated, and now these talents are placed in various important places, although they are still inconspicuous, but over time, they will inevitably have an earth-shaking effect." I'm just a chess piece in His Majesty's hands, and I'll tell you a secret, your brother Su Zixuan is also one of His Majesty's favorite candidates. ”

"No wonder he was able to go back and forth in the elite field as a concubine. Su Tang'an said, "He never mentioned this matter." ”

"It's a secret, and no one can tell it. Gu Tingjun smiled.

"Your Majesty wants to push you out to become the enemy of Li Changlong and Xuanyuan Hou's attack, and protect the second prince behind?" Su Ju'an said, "Your identity is different from the second prince, if Li Changlong and they really want to get rid of you, you are much more dangerous than the second prince." ”

"Are you worried about me?" Gu Tingjun's eyebrows raised slightly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't die." I know it's dangerous, but I have no room to refuse, there are some things that must be done, for the sake of Da Zhou, for the sake of the court. ”

When he said the last sentence, Gu Tingjun's eyes seemed to have a fire burning, and Su Tang'an frowned slightly, never expecting that under his cynical appearance, there was a pure heart.

Su Tang'an faintly felt that some things might be called his faith and responsibility, for his belief, he could give up a lot of things, including his life, including everything he cared about.

East Palace.

Zheng Peilan's stomach became more and more beaten, and her body became more and more bulky, although she accompanied Li Changlong every day to be his interpreter flower, but he was less and less interested in herself, so that she didn't feel worried.

During this time, Li Changlong accepted two more side concubines, or a pair of twin sisters, and it was not only himself who fascinated him, but even Bai Qianruo was also left out in the cold.

"Your Highness. ”

Li Changlong threw the letter in his hand to the ground irritably, with an angry face.

Zheng Peilan put down the ginseng soup in her hand, walked up slowly, rubbed his temples, and asked, "Why is Your Highness angry?"

"It's not the damn Blood Alliance, it seems to be on the verge of us. The main palace deliberately wanted to avoid its edge, and transferred all the people who split the rudder back, and there was no task for the time being, and he didn't go out. However, several rudders were still attacked by the Blood Alliance, and suffered heavy losses. Li Changlong said hatefully, "Sooner or later, one day, this palace will uproot the Bloody Alliance!"

Zheng Peilan picked up the letter on the ground and glanced at it, frowned slightly, and said: "Our base is so secretive, how can it be raided? And the time is about the same, obviously it was premeditated before, so we launched an attack together, so as not to communicate with each other among several rudders." ”

"Do you suspect that there is a mole in the Rakshasa Hall?" Li Changlong said.

"It's not impossible. Zheng Peilan said.

"Who could it be?" Li Changlong said, "Could it be that Qin Mo? Could it be that she has betrayed the palace a long time ago?"

"It shouldn't be her, firstly, she is looking for what we need now, and the things she brought back are still of some use, and secondly, with her identity in the Rakshasa Hall, she betrayed the rudder where she was at most, and it was impossible to know where the other rudder was hiding. This betrayer is at least above the helmsman, and knows a lot of things at our core. Zheng Peilan said coldly.

"How can I find out this dog thing?" Li Changlong said hatefully, "If this palace knows who dares to betray the Rakshasa Hall, this palace will definitely divide his five horses!"

"Your Highness still needs to do nothing, nothing has happened. Zheng Peilan said, "Wait for that person to show his feet." ”

Zheng Peilan was inconvenient and couldn't serve Li Changlong, it was late at night, he naturally left, and he wanted to go to the crown princess to sit down, but he didn't expect to be led away by a burst of singing.

Bai Qianruo sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her husband, and after a while, she heard a burst of footsteps, she raised her eyes happily, but saw that it was her maid who entered, and she asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

"Don't mention it, the crown princess should rest early, the prince can't come up tonight. The maid said indignantly, "It's really hateful, the prince has arrived at the door, and he has been hooked by those two foxes." Those two sisters relied on the favor of the prince, and they almost didn't take you, the crown princess, in their eyes. ”

Bai Qianruo sighed softly.

The maid hesitated for a moment, took out a bottle of perfume from her sleeve, and said: "This is specially purchased by Madame, you only need to touch this balm in the navel, you can fill your body with a strange fragrance, and you will definitely be able to charm Your Highness when the time comes." ”

"I ...... How can I use such a thing!" Bai Qianruo said.

"What's this!" the maid squatted in front of her and persuaded, "This is something that Madame bought at a great price, can Madame still harm you?" She doesn't hope that Mademoiselle you can get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible, only in this way can you stabilize your current position. Miss, think about it, Zheng Liangdi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and there is Xuanyuan Hou behind her, those two foxes have to be entangled by His Royal Highness every day, Miss, you are now worried about internal and external difficulties, if you don't want to think of a way anymore, what can you do in the future!"

"I ...... It's me who is useless, I'm sorry for my father and mother. Bai Qianruo said, "I also want to get pregnant, but my stomach just doesn't fight!"

"If you want to get pregnant, you have to keep Your Highness first. The maid said, "The lord is now planning for His Highness with all his might, but he has to guard against the people of the Xuanyuan Marquis and his party from obstructing it, after all, there will be only one position on the throne in the future." Miss's belly is the backing of the master, and only when the young lady gives birth to a son-in-law can the lord no longer be afraid of Marquis Xuanyuan, no longer worry about making wedding clothes for others, and concentrate on planning for His Royal Highness. ”

"I'm ......" Bai Qianruo bit her lip, "It's up to you to do this." How do I use it?"

"The slave came to teach the young lady ......"
