Chapter 15: Please protect him
"Your Excellency, please. Gu Qingquan followed the two middle-aged people out of the small inn, and there was a carriage parked at the door, which was still a luxurious golden silk carriage, but the difference was that there was no redbud flower that symbolized the royal family of Anguo.
With an indifferent smile, Gu Qingquan helped Ye Ziyi to get into the carriage. The two middle-aged people also got into the car, and they were about to say something to Gu Qingquan, but Gu Qingquan closed his eyes and recuperated. The damaged but still powerful soul told him that the carriage was speeding down the inaccessible path.
After galloping for about half an hour, the carriage came to an abrupt stop. The middle-aged man jumped out of the car, rolled up the curtains, and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Qingquan and the others. Gu Qingquan and the two glanced at each other and jumped out of the car.
The atmosphere here is very peaceful. Feeling the surrounding situation, Gu Qingquan said in his heart.
The sight is a huge mansion with a striking redbud logo on the door plaque. The mansion was brightly lit, but there was no one, except for the two guards guarding the door, there was not even a maid in the courtyard, it was really indifferent and desolate.
Following the two middle-aged people, Gu Qingquan and the others came to the main hall. Xu had already expected the arrival of the two, and there was a sumptuous meal on the golden silk sandalwood table in the main hall, and it was still steaming. Without saying a word, Gu Qingquan sat down at the table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate, Ye Ziyi looked at Gu Qingquan's indifferent expression and smiled slightly, and also ate with it.
The two middle-aged people on the side looked at Gu Qingquan, nodded secretly, bowed to Gu Qingquan and retreated.
"It's royalty. Gu Qingquan feasted happily, puffing out his cheeks and said vaguely. Ye Ziyi just smiled. The two of them ate, and their eyes glanced at a corner of the main hall, intentionally or unintentionally.
"How long is the imperial concubine going to enjoy the two of us?" After eating and drinking, Gu Qingquan wiped his mouth, turned to look at a screen in the right corner of the main hall, and asked with a smile.
"Please come in, both of you. A gentle female voice came from behind the screen. Gu Qingquan put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the screen, bowed, regarded it as a salute, and walked in with Ye Ziyi.
Behind the screen there is another world, with serious decorations, rosewood furnishings, and a gorgeous young woman sitting at the top of the main seat.
The neckline of a big red silk skirt is opened very low, revealing a plump chest, the face is like a hibiscus, the eyebrows are like willows, the eyes are more charming than peach blossoms, the skin is like snow, the black hair is pulled into a high beauty bun, and the beads on the head shine dazzlingly in the sun, what a bewitching woman. It's just that between the picturesque eyebrows and eyes, there is a thick sadness that can't be dissolved.
"You two, please be seated. I brought the two of them over so late to thank them for saving the prince's life. The red lips opened lightly, and the imperial concubine said to Gu Qingquan and the others gently.
Pulling Ye Ziyi, Gu Qingquan sat unceremoniously on the chair under the main seat. Ye Ziyi's little hand, which was grabbed, moved her index finger slightly, Gu Qingquan's eyebrows were raised, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile.
"I'm afraid the imperial concubine didn't just thank us for calling me here, right?" Looking at the imperial concubine indifferently, Gu Qingquan said.
The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, this young man has good courage, he is not restrained at all because he is a member of the royal family, and his mind is smart enough, he is usually brought here mysteriously, I am afraid that he will not dare to eat that table of food so at ease. Dealing with smart people is easy, the imperial concubine smiled lightly, "Actually, I have something to ask the two of you." ”
"Oh?" Gu Qingquan raised his eyebrows, this imperial concubine used "I" to speak to herself, not another name, it seems that this matter is not small, if the guess is right, it is because of that child.
"How long has it been?" After a few seconds of silence, Gu Qingquan suddenly asked.
The imperial concubine was surprised again, and then regained her composure, "What a smart young man. ”
Listening to the imperial concubine's praise, Ye Ziyi's mouth bent, revealing a smile similar to pride, and the little pear vortex on her cheek ran out mischievously.
"Go and bring Bin'er over. The imperial concubine said to the void on the left, then looked at Gu Qingquan, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she sighed faintly, "It's been three years." Three years ago, Bin'er had a serious illness, like a cold, more like a demon. ”
"Enchanted?" Ye Ziyi exclaimed, there is still such a disease?
"When Bin'er was sick, she would always say something strange that we had never heard before. The royal physicians had already been consulted one by one, but no one could diagnose what disease Bin'er had. Bin'er just fell asleep for a long, long time.
Until one day, a folk physician unveiled the imperial list and came to Bin'er's bedroom. After a solemn diagnosis, he left. Before leaving, he said a word, a word that made our mother and son go from being beaten into the cold palace. ”
Gu Qingquan touched his chin curiously, "What did the doctor say?"
I distinctly remember the solemn look on his face. He said that Bin'er was from the Demon God of Hell, and in the near future, he would subvert the entire Anguo and even the entire Eastern Continent. ”
From Hell...... Hearing this, Gu Qingquan and Ye Ziyi were stunned, and they couldn't help but think of the trace of death that permeated the child's eyes.
"Since then, the third prince has often been subjected to this kind of inexplicable plots?" Gu Qingquan thought about the child's calm expression and calm eyes, and finally figured it out, this is a habitual expression. Accustomed to being plotted, accustomed to being in danger, accustomed to being looked down upon.
The imperial concubine sighed and nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"So, what does the imperial concubine want us to do?" Gu Qingquan asked quietly. In my heart, I felt that there was something else in this matter. No matter what, this child is his own flesh and blood, how can he say that he will kill it, and the tiger poison will not eat the child, is it really so ruthless as an emperor?
"Protect him, and take him away. Stay in this royal family, and sooner or later he will die. The princess said, her eyes flashing with a few sparkles.
"First, we don't have the ability yet, if we take the prince, we will definitely be hunted down by the Anguo royal family;
"Because you make me feel so reassured. A childish child's voice came, the third prince didn't know when Lu Dao came out of the corner, Gu Qingquan couldn't help but look up, the dead air in his eyes was still there, and even the clear voice seemed to have a little dead air.
Maybe it was these few traces of dead air that made his own father treat him as a freak. But how can there be such a person in the world, who is clearly a living person, but he can't find any life in him, as if he has been dead for a long time.
Gu Qingquan looked at the third prince standing beside the imperial concubine, and brushed the hair in front of his forehead, "What if I don't agree?" The voice fell, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became cold.
