73. Secret meeting with the Minister of State

In the hall of benevolence, all the ministers congratulated the princess on returning to the palace and eagerly pounced on the toast, as a Lingji for a long time, many royal regulations and living customs have long been forgotten, and they have stayed in the Que country for less than a year and a half, and many things in the Que country are quickly forgotten is also reasonable, but everyone in the Que country is hospitable, all of them are heroic and loyal to the country, these are seen in the eyes when I was a child, and listened to in my heart. Although there were often wars in the past, it was just a small battle between neighboring ethnic groups, or the rampant hegemony of thieves between the waters, or the power struggle between the old and new nobles in the government. The only one of the many wars made the majesty of the father and the face of the Gong clan disappear in an instant, not only let the enemy country go up in smoke, but also make their own country burdened, if it were not for the prestige of the ancestors and the power of the Yinhou family to turn the tide, the huge Que country has long ceased to exist due to the fight of all forces, and today's King De will not be Gong Wunian, so the Que country has only been revitalized in the long years of struggle, and it can be regarded as a small achievement under the governance of Gong Wunian. People are old, their hearts are not old, it is reasonable for this palace Wunian to be infatuated with the young and beautiful unicorn, but the princes died one after another in an unknown way, and even Gong Xuanyin, who was far away from the palace and studied abroad, also died in an accident, and only one remaining female Gong Xuanjing was eligible to inherit his throne, and these courtiers knew the stakes better than anyone else.

**The grand feast is not strange when I was young, but the memory has been wiped out by time and personnel, and the large-scale feast and the royal system have long been forgotten, but fortunately, Luo Chuan, Fan and Qiong'er have carefully prompted and pointed out everywhere on the side to pass one level after another, and also re-acquainted with the ministers of the court.......

After the feast, Princess Jing was escorted by Luo Chuan to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where there lived a very respectable figure, an old man who had been waiting for her to come back, and more importantly, he was a wise man who could untie the knot in Gong Xuanjing's heart.

Entering the main hall, an old man limped towards Princess Jing with a solid wooden cane, he had white hair, as thin as a backbone, dressed in plain clothes, wrapped in white silk around his waist, affectionate and anxious, as if there were many words to tell showing a passion, he had not seen it for several years, Princess Jing remembered the jade ruler, remembered the pain in the palm, and remembered the hard reading late at night, and remembered the fragrance of pear blossoms in the Xiangfu, which was a happy place to chase and frolic with his brothers, as well as the refreshing and cool sorbet and fragrant fish soup, those scenes came to Gong Xuanjing's mind one by one.

In his heart, this old man is as close as his grandfather, and there is a long-lost stability and comfort.

"Elder Chan Gui knocked to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

The father's high imperial power blocks the closeness between father and daughter, and there will never be an innocent expression towards the father, those ignorant and rude postures that the royal children should not have, which damages the royal face, but Gui Lao is different, he is his own teacher, his friend, and his grandfather, Gong Xuanjing hurriedly helped Gui Lao up and sat on the soft chair with him.

The courtesy of the monarch and the minister is the courtesy of teachers and students.

After Gong Xuanjing clasped his palms and kowtowed three times, he said, "I've worked hard for you all these years." ”

The pink fan helped the net princess to sit on the side chair.

Gong Xuanjing was also subtle, and said straight to the point: "The third brother is dead." ”

"Your father and king have been guarding Xuanyin every step of the day and night. ”

It is the unwillingness of self-blame, guilt, and disappointed expectations.

"The second brother is gone, and the third brother is the only bloodline of his father, but he also suffered an accident. ”

"No, and you, if there is no change, Jing'er will inherit the throne according to the royal ancestral system and rule the whole country. ”

He looked at the two people around him one after another and said, "There is fruit in the flower pavilion, take them down to taste it." ”

"Yes. ”

"In the country of Que, Gui Lao is considered to be the elder of the four dynasties, and he knows everything here, and in the royal family, Gui Lao is dedicated to the orderly management of this place, it can be said that his life's work has been dedicated to the Que country, and our Gong clan should be grateful to Gui Lao, and the people of this Que country should also be grateful to Gui Lao. In Jing'er's heart, he respects and respects Gui Lao very much, and in this world, he may know and understand Jing'er the most. ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"There is nothing in the political affairs of the Que State that Gui Lao does not know. ”

From the moment they met, Gui Lao saw many clues from Gong Xuanjing's eyes and expressions, and experienced struggles and fights in Luoyang City, perhaps she had begun to have some doubts and suspicions about many people and many things.

There is no unventilated wall in the world, and the truth will one day be revealed to the world, which is nothing more than a matter of time.

"The old man is really old, and he can't remember anything clearly. ”

"Jing'er knows that recklessness makes Gui Lao embarrassed, but the truth of the matter is very important to Jing'er, to Que Guo, and to every injured person, and may involve the war between countries. But...... , Jing'er has to investigate this matter even if it is unscrupulous. ”

According to the information collected by Luo Chuan, something big has just happened in the world, and all the people who know it have died, but the forces behind it have not been found out so far, maybe .......

"Memories can cause serious injuries, so why bother if they don't have any meaning?"

"Hurting? I don't know who I am, it's the most painful wound in the world. ”

Gui Lao took a look and said, "You know everything." ”

"Sister Su Xi told me before she died. ”

"What did she say?"

"Elder Kei knows, and I don't. ”

recall

"Lingji, there is a dark compartment under the ethereal bed, and inside is ...... It is a real six-gilt cotton company. ”

Lingji was taken aback, she couldn't imagine that there was really a Liuji Cotton Company, it turned out that everything was not groundless, and why did her sister have a Liuji Cotton Company in her hands?

"Why is it in my sister's hands?"

Su Xi knew his fate and covered Lingji's lips.

"Your surname is Wu, and my surname is Wu, and I ...... Be...... Your fellow sister, the two of us are...... The only remaining royal blood of the Wu clan. ”

"Promise my sister...... and be sure to find ...... Our family, avenging our father...... Avenge. ”

β€”β€”

"Ghost Valley is the victim, and the Ghost King is even more vicious and cruel, but she is dead...... Who is she? What is her relationship with my father? Why did my third brother and I be with the Ghost King back then?"

Gui Lao was silent, as if he was caught up in some kind of memory.

"What does she have to do with our country?"

Gui Lao took a deep breath and said heavily: "Her original name was Gong Wuxian, she was the half-sister of your father Wang Gong Wunian, who had civil strife in order to compete for the throne and was quelled by General Luo Wei. A few years later, she came back, the brother and sister forgave each other after a deep talk, and lived in the palace for a month, but under a true feeling, they had evil thoughts, and they took you and Xuanyin out of the palace under everyone's relaxed vigilance, and later found out that they had fallen into the trap of palace innocence, and your father sent many guards to secretly investigate, and there was no news for three years, so as to prevent the cause of turmoil inside and outside the palace, the matter was put on hold. ”

"It turns out that all the letters are fake...... , my third brother and I were toyed with by her and applauded. ”

"Later, the guards found Gong Wuxian in Luoyang City, and also found you, and brought your portrait back, compared with you when you were a child, only to find out that you have become the spiritual messenger of the world's cult, and your father assigned Luo Chuan to look for your traces in Luoyang City, and protect you to return home safely. Who knew that Luo Chuan disappeared soon after arriving in Luoyang City. ”

"Is it someone from my father's side?"

"Yes, it's your father's favorite concubine, Qilinzi, fortunately, this kid escaped alertly. ”

"A lot of people don't want me back. ”

Gong Xuanjing paused for a moment, and then said: "For me, killing Luo Chuan is a big move, but for General Luo Wei, and even the entire Que Kingdom, I have indeed lost a general, and for Qilinzi, there is one less powerful opponent." ”

"Yes, your Uncle Luo can't go to the battlefield in old age, and the best of the many young generals is Luo Chuan. ”

"I remember that the second brother Xuan Xuan is his father's favorite prince, could it be that he was also killed by Qilinzi?"

"Qilinzi, a poisonous scorpion woman who fell from the sky, I don't know how many people have been killed. ”

"Her existence is just to clear the way for Gong Wuxie, and then let her father cut off his children and grandchildren, the second brother Xuanxuan, the third brother Xuanyin, and me under her control. ”

"For so many years, I have suffered your mother. ”

"The queen mother is meticulous and cautious, and it is estimated that she can only turn her pain into the sound of the piano, and she is unwilling to step into this dispute. ”

"After the sound works in the guqin, the temperament is gentle and supple, the heart is kind and pure, and he is not the opponent of the unicorn at all, and he can't keep his love, so he can only let go. ”

"Since it is a clever and meticulous work, the martial arts and mind must be no less than ordinary people, these are just carefully trained chess pieces. ”

Gong Xuanjing actually has another guess, this unicorn may also be the bureau set up by the man in black, which is the last thing she wants to affirm, and she has to send someone to check before this matter is proven.

"Have you figured out the bottom of the unicorn?"

Gui Lao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Gong Xuanjing, saying, "Everything you know is on it, how does the princess want to get rid of her." β€œ

"She is despicable, and the palace is also very dark. ”

"Listen to Gui Lao's words, the matter will be over when it is over, don't pursue your father's past. ”

"The mystery of my life experience, Jing'er doesn't force Gui Lao, I just want to hear my father's statement. ”

"No, child. ”

"If you dare to do it, you should dare to say it. ”

"Jing'er....... ”

"Gui Lao, excuse me, I'll visit you another day. ”

"Princess....... ”

β€”β€”

In the Wuyu Palace, the queen of the sound was in a comfortable mood to embroider the gown and skirt for Gong Xuanjing, and Gong Xuanjing sat quietly beside him reading a few books sent by his father, this is what every heir should do, it is to enter the ruling state in advance and prepare, but one day or two days can not catch up with the shrewdness and experience of the father, the coming day is long, take your time.

After reviewing the completed recitals, he ordered Qiong'er to be carried to the Ruogu Palace to be inspected by his father.

When he was idle, Gong Xuanjing had an idea, and retreated all the attendants around him, and let the powder fan guard outside the door.

"Why is Jing'er so cautious, what do you have to whisper to your mother? ”

"Mother, the child would like to ask you something. ”

"You're so serious, you scare your mother. ”

"Mother, if you don't want to say it, you can not say it, the child will never force it. ”

The back of the moon was placed on the table, his hands were lightly placed on his legs, he was calm and calm, and said softly: "You say." ”

"In the struggle for power, the soldiers and the common people seemed to like Gong Wuxian as the king of Que rather than his father. ”

"After all, she is our family, but it is understandable that she would do such a despicable thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I can't love it, and I secretly killed General Lowe's lover. ”

She also seems to be involved in a power struggle. ”

"There is no one among the children of the former king who is unwilling to be the king, although Gong Wuxian is a woman, but the heart of the tiger and wolf who covets the throne is increasing day by day, your father has already seen it in his eyes, that is, after returning from the foreign war, Gong Wuxian took advantage of the fatigue of the army, and also followed the people's disrespect for your father, and launched the palace change, if it were not for the protection of General Luo Wei, the king of this Que country would be Gong Wuxie. ”

"It's power, it's love, it's what makes her so competitive. ”

"In fact, the main reason is love, it is your father who broke them up alive, and forcing the palace is the best way to resist. ”

"What's going on?"

"Your father and Gong Wuxian have a very good relationship, and they grow up the same, everything is for Gong Wunian's sake, but it's ...... emotional. That night, General Luo Wei told your father of his intentions, and the feelings should be happy, on the one hand, in order not to lose the minister of the humerus, on the other hand, for the sake of the most beloved sister, he gave General Luo Wei a marriage, or married his favorite lover, forcing the palace to fail, plus the loss of true love, Gong Wuxian killed the general's wife in a fit of anger, and then it was a mistake and a mistake. ”

"It turns out that the initiator is the father. ”

"The past is a lesson, and it must not happen again. ”

"Resentment has never left each and every one of us, including Jing'er. ”

"Do you hate them?"

"Jing'er doesn't know what hatred is, but Jing'er knows the truth that one life is worth one life, so Gong Wuxian died, but what about his father?"

The moon queen was silent, and she knew that as long as Gong Wuxie's identity was exposed, a lot of the past would be drawn, including that .......

"The concubines of this palace...... , the queen mother is helpless, not to mention government affairs, as well as those military, the queen mother is powerless, and she is also powerless. ”

The queen mother lived in seclusion, had no quarrel with the world, and did not like war, and these cruel and ruthless pasts should not be known from the sorrow of the mother, which is too cruel.

"Mother, you rest, and the child retires. ”

"Hmm. ”

β€”β€”

Gong Xuanjing walked in the long verandah, found a pleasant place to sit down, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, those respectable people knew the ins and outs of the matter very well and couldn't open their mouths to save face, there was no written record of the war and death on the library, the people were panicked and hurriedly left when they heard the question, Luo Chuan, who was closest to him, was the same age as himself and didn't know those things, only his father was qualified to talk about it, because everyone buried and forgot about the past for him, maybe death made them shut up forever。

The scorching light of the sun shines on the corridor and is particularly refreshing and bright, but it cannot open the secrets of the city, let alone the hearts of everyone, they are afraid of their father and are foolish and loyal to him, they are satisfied and have expectations for their father, they are struggling to survive, they are excited to live in anticipation, perhaps for a long time, they have long forgotten the evil ...... brought by death.
