Chapter 404: Confrontation

"What a hero, don't ask where it comes from!" The saint suddenly clapped his hands, and the hearty laughter suddenly sounded in the room. Just listening to the tone of those words, it seemed very cheerful, and there was a hint of appreciation. Obviously, maybe Gu Wanyin's words were indeed slapped on the sycophants and won the Sacred Heart.

Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't let go of the big stone in her heart, but at least half of it was also put down. As long as the saint is not angry or angry, it means that she is right.

In fact, thinking about it, it's not a strange thing, after all, her words were also carefully thought out before daring to say it. Even though the saint is the Son of Heaven, he is a human after all. If you are a human being, you will have weaknesses and things that you care about. She thought that the things that the Holy Lord cared about the most were the things he did in the first place to compete for the throne. Up to now, what the Holy One is most afraid of is that others will take this incident as a criticism and erase his merits. Although the saint is suspicious, there is no doubt that he is also a wise king. At the very least, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the economy is prosperous, and the country is rich and the people are strong. In terms of political achievements, the saint can be said to be worthy of his heart, and he can even be proud. But in terms of the means to seize the throne in the first place-

The saint cares about this the most, and now the saint is afraid that it is not the king of Qin. If it weren't for King Qin, then the prince who was naturally favored by the saint would also face such a problem. That's why she said that: heroes don't ask where they come from.

Sure enough, she was right. Saint, sure enough, he is still not angry.

couldn't help it, a smile tugged at the corner of Gu Wanyin's mouth.

Then I heard the Holy Lord say, "I am not the eldest son, but who can say that I can't take this position?" In just one sentence, it has the domineering and heroic spirit that looks at the world. Naturally, this sentence also has a deep meaning. When the saint said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on the Queen Mother, and his gaze was not as gentle as before, but a little sharp.

The queen mother's heart was cold, she didn't expect that the saint, who has always been filial, would do this to her, and she was stunned at the moment. Then he was angry in his heart, looked at Gu Wanyin sternly, and said, "How did you say this?" At the beginning, it was really other princes who were not as good as the saints. But now I think the fourth child is very good, and he has that kind of talent, don't you think so, Saint? Let's ask, among the princes of the Holy Lord, who can be comparable to the fourth? ”

The Queen Mother is determined to put King Qin on the throne. After all, this is not a momentary battle of wills. It's more about the struggle of several big families. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of extinction. The matter has come to this, whether it is the Queen Mother or someone else. There is no way back. So I knew that the saint was annoyed, but the queen mother still insisted on going her own way. In the Queen Mother's opinion, no matter what, the Holy One will never do anything to her. After all...... The Holy One is her own son!

She still has this certainty;! The Queen Mother's gaze gradually sharpened, and with the pressure of Qianjun, it fell on Gu Wanyin's back.

Gu Wanyin didn't dare to raise her head or move. She naturally understood, and said that. is to offend the queen mother, offend the old lady, and there will be countless troubles in the future. But she understands better - this world is the world of the saints, not the queen mother! Although the Queen Mother is infinitely beautiful, everything is brought up by the saint! If you can give, you will naturally take it back. It's like the honor of the Zhou family.

And in the face of the Queen Mother's difficulties. As long as the saint has the heart to protect, how can he not keep it? At this point, she would never dare to be ambiguous. When it's time to take a stand, it's time to be resolute. If you waver, you will only end up in a situation where you can't get close to each other!

The old lady was already shocked and angry at this time, but she couldn't speak, and she looked at Gu Wanyin deadly, and her burning eyes seemed to burn two holes in Gu Wanyin's back.

Gu Wanyin only felt like a mang on her back. It's also false to say that you don't feel uncomfortable.

The saint opened his mouth at this time, stared deeply at the Queen Mother, and his eyes fell on King Qin again, and said lightly: "It seems that the Queen Mother is very optimistic about King Qin." It's just that King Qin, where did he make the Queen Mother feel that he was worthy of a heavy responsibility? ”

The Queen Mother frowned, and there was finally a hint of displeasure in her voice: "What does the Holy Lord mean by this?" But the Holy One said. What's not good enough about the fourth? Even if he is not good enough, he is still young after all, and the Holy One can always correct it if he teaches and teaches well. "I don't want to be too stiff and hard with the saint, the queen mother's tone is still a little soft.

The saint shook his head slowly, and said softly: "I have my own decision in this matter, and the queen mother still doesn't want to have a good heart." Besides, do you really want to explain things a little bit here? The meaning of these words is already very obvious - if you continue to speak, I am afraid that in the end, King Qin will have no face, and he will also lose the prestige of the heavenly family!

The Queen Mother hesitated slightly, but finally relentlessly and looked at Duan Guifei - "Guifei, you take the wives to retreat first." The hour is not early, and it is time for them to leave the palace. ”

Duan Guifei hurriedly got up and took the lead in retreating, but the saint did not stop her, so everyone also followed Duan Guifei and retreated.

When Princess Qin passed by King Qin's side, she suddenly saw the pool of blood on King Qin's shoulder, and she didn't care about anything else at the moment, and screamed: "Lord Wang! He stepped forward and covered King Qin's shoulder, and when he spread his hand again, he saw that his palm was red. Her movements were so big, she naturally attracted everyone's attention, and the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother also saw it.

The Queen Mother was also taken aback: "What's wrong?" ”

The saint was calm, but it was not difficult to hear a trace of worry in his tone: "Pass on the imperial doctor." ”

Gu Wanyin looked at King Qin's pale face from a distance, and suddenly felt a little tired in her heart. King Qin suddenly had blood stains on his body, and after a little thought, he could naturally understand. King Qin's wound cracked open at this time, which must not be a coincidence.

However, Gu Wanyin then heard a warm and calm voice: "Fourth brother, I'm afraid that the wound has cracked, so let him go into the inner room and lie down first." If there is clean gauze, use it to press the wound. He doesn't know how much blood he has shed, and if he continues like this, he is afraid that there will be great disasters. ”

Gu Wanyin followed the voice and looked at it at a glance to understand-I'm afraid that person is the King of Jin. Unlike King Qin, although King Jin's face is still a little young, his temperament is very calm. Especially those eyes, they looked very gentle, which was very similar to Duan Guifei. King Qin looked like the pride of the sky, and he seemed to exude a sense of arrogance and nobility from his bones. But King Jin looks more like an ordinary, educated, and mild-tempered son.

It's hard to hate such a person;

But none of these can be looked at anymore, Duan Guifei quietly reminded softly: "Ladies, let's step back first." "Whether it's a dehiscence of the wound or whatever, the more uncontaminated these things are, the better. Even if it was Duan Guifei, she didn't want to stay here.

Gu Wanyin came back to her senses, and hurriedly lowered her head and followed the crowd outside.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a eunuch coming in a hurry, and without saying a word, he rushed inside. Duan Guifei saw clearly, that person was a close attendant beside the saint, and when she had the heart to say a few words, she glanced at her female official, and the female official understood, stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch, and reminded her in a low voice. After the eunuch thanked him repeatedly, he still had a sad face, and said with a wry smile: "At this time, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I can only break through!" The situation outside is much more severe than inside! ”

Because Gu Wanyin was close, she happened to hear a few words vaguely, and her heart sank at the moment, and she suddenly thought - since the Queen Mother mentioned this matter at this time, she must be completely prepared! Perhaps, the Queen Mother is just playing a starting role, and the key to forcing the Holy Lord to bow his head is not the Queen Mother! After all, no matter how powerful the Queen Mother is, she has no real power. So......

With a "sudden" jump in her heart, Gu Wanyin only felt that her feet were soft, and she didn't know if she stepped on the skirt, but she stumbled.

Fortunately, a hand next to her suddenly reached out and helped her on the arm, and then the voice of the Duchess of the Protector sounded: "The princess is careful." This is not the time for cranky thinking. The latter sentence of the Duchess of the Protector was extremely low, but no fat person heard it. And the hand was also retracted after Gu Wanyin stood firm.

Gu Wanyin glanced at her gratefully, revealing a slight smile. It's just that in the end, I was worried in my heart, and my smile was somewhat reluctant.

Out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the others naturally dispersed. Gu Wanyin was a little at a loss - the old lady didn't come out with her, she couldn't go back by herself. Even Concubine Rong didn't know what to do and left in a hurry, without looking at Gu Wanyin more.

Fortunately, Duan Guifei has always been understanding, and said with a smile at the moment: "There is a pavilion in front, let's go sit down, you just wait for the old princess." As he spoke, he glanced at the Duchess Protector next to him, and said with a smile: "Qingying, are you also sitting with us?" "Come to think of it, Qingying is the maiden name of the Duchess of the Protectorate.

The Duchess of Huguo naturally responded, so the three of them went to the small pavilion to sit down and wait, this place is extremely open, the surrounding scenery is in full view, but they are not afraid of others snooping and eavesdropping. Moreover, the pavilion is also covered with light gauze curtains around it, and the cold wind cannot blow it, but it is also very comfortable.

A female official beside Duan Guifei left in a hurry, and after a while, she brought a fruit plate of snacks and tea incense.

Duan Guifei pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "There is no need for incense, it is better to use these things less if the princess is pregnant." So the lady took down the censer again.

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while." Duan Guifei sighed, there seemed to be a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows, and she didn't know if she was worried about the saint, or the king of Jin, or both? However, Duan Guifei was not too much, and only smiled and comforted Gu Wanyin: "You must be frightened when the Holy Lord asked you that today, right?" In fact, there is no need to worry, since the saint is not angry, then he must be really not angry. ”

Gu Wanyin looked at Duan Guifei, and didn't understand what Duan Guifei meant by saying this for a while?

Duan Guifei didn't say much, but talked about the things on the side: "By the way, I heard King Jin talk about your brother." ”;
