“Today, the Dragon Guard sent the body of Xiahou Shizi to the Emperor’s bedchamber. And the emperor then branched out the noble consort. When leaving, the slave servant heard the emperor order someone to bring the old marquis of the Earl’s Mansion and Gu Qingyuan both to confirm the corpse of Xiahou Jueyi.”
“When hearing this news, servant girl, in order to get the exact news earlier, so as to report to Your Majesty, let your concubine stew some tonic medicine. Calculating that it was almost time, I went to the emperor’s bedchamber together with your concubine.” The servant girl said raising her head and looking at the empress in a tight voice: “And outside the bedchamber, the servant girl heard a shocking news.”
“What news?”
“Gu Qingyuan is pregnant.”
The words of the palace maid came out, Sister Zhang looked up sharply, eyes widened. The empress also rose sharply and said in a deep voice: “What did you say? Gu pro Qing Yuan is pregnant?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Did you hear it clearly?” “Slave servant heard very clearly. I was worried that I had made a mistake, so I waited at the door for a while, thinking that since she was pregnant, the royal doctor would be summoned. Sure enough, soon after the servant wait until the Tai Hospital’s doctor Cheng came out from the bedchamber.”
“The slave servant let your consort, in the name of concern for the emperor, went up to ask a question. And from his mouth has got the affirmative answer, Gu Qingyuan is indeed pregnant, already almost two months.”
After the palace maid finished, the empress’ face was gloomy and terrible.
Sister Zhang also felt saddened at this time, Gu Qingyuan was actually pregnant! It’s a coincidence that it only broke out at this time! ……. The coincidence makes people feel a little scary!
Xiahou Jueyi died, the earldom changed its name, and the empress was just about to let Gu Qingyuan be buried with Xiahou Jueyi when the news of her pregnancy came out. If it was said that all this was destined in the underworld, Sister Zhang could not believe it.
A woman’s body, others are not clear, but she herself is very clear. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services.
But if you say that she is deliberately concealed, I’m afraid many people do not believe it! After all, it was she who made the earldom change its name, and it was she who gave up the earldom title. Under normal circumstances, if you know that you have an heir, you will never give up so easily, that heavenly wealth!
Now that Xiahou Juyi is dead, the emperor is most sad, knowing that she is pregnant, in the case of love, the emperor will definitely protect this child, the empress and the great princess will not be so easy to do it again.
Sister Zhang thought, for the first time, Gu Qingyuan this woman is really very scary ah, the city is also extremely deep ah!
If she had broken out immediately after returning to the capital, things would definitely not have developed the way they are now. At the very least, Gu Qingyuan would not have survived until now. The Queen and the Princess have a thousand, ten thousand ways to get rid of her. Now move again will have to take a great risk.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Or ……. Or is it ……. There are her eyes in this palace in order to break out at such a coincidental time ……. If this is the case, this woman Gu Qingyuan can be even more can not stay.
Sister Zhang is now thinking about, and the empress is now thinking about more or less the same, only the empress to Gu Qingyuan another layer of absolute intolerance, Xiahou Jueyi’s child. That is must die, must die ……
The empress was silent for a long time and looked at the palace maid in front of her and faintly said, “This palace knows, you go down now!”
“Yes, Empress.”
Palace maid left, the empress spoke, “Sister Zhang.”
“Old slave is here.”
“You go to the Grand Prince’s residence and ask the Grand Prince to come into the palace, and say that this palace has something important to say to him.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Gu Qingyuan and the old marquis left the palace, on the way back, the old marquis looked at Gu Qingyuan with a complicated look, his eyes were full of hurt and pain, and a touch of comfort, excitement.
Looking at the old marquis’s sorrowful and joyful expression, Gu Qingyuan could understand the old marquis’s mood at this time. Sinking pain Xiahou Jueyi’s passing away, and rejoice in the fact that she has Xiahou Jueyi’s child, Xiahou Jueyi has a queen.
“Qing girl, now that you have a child you can’t be too sad and pregnant, take good care of your body know?” The old marquis said with a trembling voice.
“Mm! I know grandfather, I will take good care of myself.” Gu Qingyuan obeyed.
“Good, good ……” the old marquis looked at Gu Qingyuan’s calm appearance, his heart was full of hurt, if it was another woman at this time would have been unable to bear it! It is he also held up very hard, but she insisted until now has not fallen, this child strong can not let people heartache.
Now, the earldom is gone though. The direct danger around you is considered to be reduced a lot. Can after the road is still long, the potential danger is still a lot, she a woman with a child, how can people not hang on.
And he is already old, the emperor’s situation also looks very bad, so on, who can protect her? I thought she would be happy for the rest of her life if she married Jueyi, but I didn’t expect to end up with a lifetime of misery? The heavens are too unfair to this child ……
Gu Qingyuan saw the old marquis looking at her, sad, sorrowful, heartbroken look, heart filled with a touch of warmth, “grandfather, everything will be fine, I believe!”
“Mmm! Will be fine, will be fine, will definitely ……” the old marquis said his eyes blurred, how much one has to bear before the end …… God is so cruel, let Jiu Yi leave at this time, leaving her one to bear so much.
“Grandfather, grandson-in-law will be fine. On the contrary, you, let Qi Qi send you away as soon as possible!”
Gu Qingyuan words out, the old marquis’s eyes swollen, heart tightened, raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingyuan’s soft face, whispered: “Everything about Juyu Yi, you know?”
“Mm! I know everything about Husband.” Gu Qingyuan nodded and said softly, “The emperor’s heart is hard to predict, it’s better for grandfather to leave.”
The potential meaning in Gu Qingyuan’s words was clear in the old marquis’s heart. Xiahou Juyue had already served, and he, the one who knew too many secrets, should also disappear along with him.
“Grandfather is old, is to leave can live a very limited number of days. For me to stay and leave is not much difference. But staying may be able to see my grandson born, which is more cost-effective for me than leaving to live a few more days. Therefore, I don’t want to leave.” The old marquis looked faint, with expectation in his eyes and said.
Gu Qingyuan listened to the brow but wrinkled up, obviously with disapproval, “Grandfather ……”
“Qing girl, what you want grandfather knows. It’s just that grandfather doesn’t want to leave, and he can’t leave just like that with his conscience.” The old marquis said heavily, “Jueyue has left you mother and son to go first. How can I, the grandfather, pretend to be invisible when you are in the most difficult time and just walk away like that. Qing girl, our Xiahou family owes you enough, we can’t let you carry the burden alone in the end.”
Hearing the old marquis’s words, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes were sore, “Grandfather, you have not wronged anyone. It’s many people who owe you.”
The old marquis shook his head, “to be trusted by the emperor, as a subject I am very satisfied. And Jueyi, he has been by my side for nearly twenty years, although in terms of status, I am saying these words are big disrespectful words, but in my heart, he is my grandson, you are my grandson-in-law, there is nothing undeserved for me to protect you.”
“So, I will not leave, everything will go as it is!”
Seeing that the old marquis’s mind was already made up, Gu Qingyuan did not say anything more, but only had his own thoughts in mind.
When she returned to the front of the house and stepped off the horse, Gu Qingyuan saw the Grand Princess who was already waiting at the door.
The Grand Princess saw her and the old marquis and greeted her with a quick step, looking at them with a heavy face, nervous and apprehensive, “Marquis, Qing’er, how is it? That’s not Juejuan, right? Isn’t it?”
Looking at the big princess that afraid to hear the bad news expression, Gu Qingyuan did not speak, the old marquis opened his mouth and said indifferently: “Go back to the house and talk about it!”
“Oh! Yes, it was my daughter-in-law who was too anxious. Marquis, Qing’er, you are also tired from the journey, hurry into the house to rest and rest!” The Grand Princess hurriedly said.
Entering the mansion, the old marquis looked at Gu Qingyuan and said, “You go and rest first! Don’t worry about the rest of the matters.”
“Yes! Grandfather, grandson-in-law bids farewell.” Gu Qingyuan answered, gave a slight nod to the Grand Princess, held Ling Yun’s hand, and turned to leave.
After Gu Qingyuan left, the old marquis looked at the Grand Princess and said, “Let’s go! I have something to say to you.”
“Yes, Marquis.”
Back in the courtyard, Gu Qingyuan was a little tired and lay down on the soft couch.
Ling Yun, Qi Xuan stood on both sides, quietly watching Gu Qingyuan, heart was hit by the news that the master had indeed left the son of the world, and was extremely worried about Gu Qingyuan. The heart is heavy and depressing, so that people feel painful to breathe.
“Kiri wanton, Ling Yun, you guys go down first! I want to be alone for a while.”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Qi Qi frowned, and the worry in Ling Yun’s eyes was even heavier, “Master, you take a good rest, slave servant will definitely not make the slightest noise to disturb you.”
Seeing their nervous, worried look, Gu Qingyuan lightly smiled and said, “Don’t worry! I won’t do anything stupid, no need to worry.”
“Master ……”
“Go out first! I want to be quiet for a while.”
Listening to Gu Qingyuan’s fragile, tired tone, Qi Rui, Ling Yun could not refuse, the two nodded and retreated out with light steps.
Two people left, Gu Qingyuan slowly closed her eyes. Hand gently caress this small abdomen, the corner of the eye crossed a teardrop, but the corner of the mouth raised a smile of reassurance, damn man!
Imperial Palace.
After listening to the Empress, Nangong Ling’s eyebrows tightened up and said in a deep voice: “Has this matter been determined?”
“It has been confirmed, there will be no mistake.” The Empress said with an ugly face, “We must get rid of her as soon as possible, we can’t delay any longer.”
Looking at the empress’ guarded expression, Nangong Ling naturally knew what was in her mind and nodded, “I know, I will arrange for this matter.”
“Ling’er, this matter must be done as soon as possible. Keeping Gu Qing Yuan is too disturbing.” The empress said soberly and coldly.
“I have my own arrangements. Mother, there is no need for you to be upset about this matter. Gu Qingyuan only has Xiahou Juyue’s child, it doesn’t affect anything.”
The empress heard this and disapproved, “How can it have no effect, your father is very important, I heard the secret guards say that he sent the dragon shadow to guard her.”
“Mother, you are too nervous, this is not a good thing. Moreover, since you know that Father has sent Dragon Shadow to her side, that proves that this is not a good time for us to make a move. If for the sake of an unborn child, the Father catches something at this last moment and angers him about it, that would be the most fatal thing.”
“Mother, is the big picture important, or a child still inside the belly is important, this should be very good to distinguish!”
The Empress listened to the words and frowned, if there were no those words from the eldest princess, the Empress would have felt that Nangong Ling’s words made sense. But now, she can’t help but think one more point, this can’t be Nangong Ling’s dragging words for not wanting to get rid of Gu Qingyuan, right!
But, it is certain that the father is afraid that he will not be able to wait until the day he grows up!”
“Now everything is about to fall, we have already won. At this point there is no need to risk him spoiling the big picture at this time for the sake of a child who does nothing.”
The empress sighed as she listened, “The emperor’s son has a point, it is me who is too anxious. However, should we really just stand by and watch her give birth to the child?”
“No, of course I won’t let her give birth.” Nangong Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly, letting that woman conceive Xiahou Jueyue’s child, he was not too happy about it.
Listening to Nangong Ling’s words, looking at the touch of inadmissibility in his eyes, the empress’s heart loosened up a bit. Perhaps, the first princess is really thinking too much! Ling’er he is not likely to be interested in a woman like that.
At lunchtime, Ling Yun looked at Gu Qingyuan’s effort to eat, feeling very heartbroken, but also kind of put down his heart.
Gu Qingyuan ate the rice in the bowl and spoke: “Is there something happening in the house? It feels like it’s especially quiet.”
“The Marquis let the Grand Princess and her family leave, saying that he was feeling better and didn’t need them here to take care of him. He also dispatched many of the subordinates in the house, so that’s why the house is so quiet all of a sudden.” Ling Yun responded in a soft voice.
Gu Qingyuan listened with eyes full of gratitude and warmth, grandfather is protecting the child in her belly, right! He gave up the time he left to save his life and chose to guard this child in the last time, he really loves this child, right! The old marquis’s kindness, loyalty, cannot fail to move people.
Lanzhi walked in and reported softly, “Miss, the fifth prince is here and wants to see Miss.”
Gu Qingyuan listened, the hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, then nodded, “Invite the fifth prince in!”
Gu Qingyuan’s answer was out of Lanzhi’s expectation, she had thought that Miss would never see it. However, there was naturally some reason for Miss’s decision.
“Yes, then slave servant will please come in.”
“Mm!”
Lanzhi went out and in a moment, Nangong Min walked in. Seeing Gu Qingyuan who was eating, his face raised a gentle smile, “Haven’t eaten yet?”
“Mmm! Fifth prince, please sit down.” Gu Qingyuan looked at Nangong Min without getting up and saluting, like an old friend, and naturally said, “Do you mind if I continue with my meal!”
Nangong Min sat down and shook his head and smiled lightly, “Don’t mind, you try to use more, it’s good for the child.”
Hearing Nangong Min’s words, Ling Yun’s eyes sank for a moment. Gu Qingyuan’s expression is very calm, this fifth prince is well-informed to make people afraid, however, it is also because he is well-informed enough, Gu Qingyuan will know that the first princess and the empress are ready to let him give Xiahou Jueyi a funeral.
It was only on this day that he chose to expose the pregnancy. So, Gu Qingyuan really had to thank him for the news. At the same time, he was also a bit curious as to why he had to sell such a favor to her.
After all, looking at her current situation, she can be said to be someone who has absolutely no useable value and is completely unable to bring him any benefits or rewards. What’s more, the past between her and his siblings, relatives that is not a pleasant past, can even be considered hatred of the past.
If that Nangong Min united with Nangong Ling to get rid of her, she would not have any doubts at all, but now Gu Qingyuan can not help but curious, this fifth prince in the end what is thinking? What is he planning?
Gu Qingyuan continued to use the meal in front of her and looked at Nangong Min and said, “The fifth prince came over today, but does he have any orders?”
“Oh …… never dared to think of a command, just came to see if you are okay?”
Gu Qingyuan listened to Nangong Min’s intimate tone, her eyebrows lightly raised, lightly said: “Husband passed away, belly with the bones of the woman, will not be too good, but still alive, thank the fifth prince’s concern.”
“Looking at you, I really can’t believe that Xiahou Jueyi has left.”
“Like the fifth prince, I also do not believe that he has left.”
“Xiahou Jueyi is still alive, I am sure.”
Nangong Min’s affirmative words came out, Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, “This is the most moving blessing I’ve ever heard.”
“Oh ……. This is not a blessing, but a fact.”
“The fifth prince is really good at comforting people.”
“It’s not that I can comfort people, but he is already alive. My intuition is always the most accurate. Besides, a flesh and blood corpse is more unreal in my eyes than not.” Nangong Min said, with a softer smile on his face, got up, walked to Gu Qingyuan’s side, leaned down, looked into her dark ink-like eyes, and said inaudibly, “So, I bet that Xiahou Jueyi is still alive. For this reason, I want to make an agreement with you with my life as a stake.”
“Agreement?”
“Yes, before Xiahou Jueyi appears, I will do my best to keep the child in your belly and your peace.”
“Then what do you want?”
“After Xiahou Jueyi returns, leave Guifei Wei, Nangong Night and me, the three of us alive.”
Hearing Nangong Min’s words, Gu Qingyuan slowly smiled away, among the royal family, Nangong Min was the one most similar to Xiahou Jueyue. People with courage and strategy may become lords, but people with courage and strategy and those who dare to take risks will become lords.
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes to look at Nangong Min’s gentle face, put down the chopsticks in her hand, the corner of her mouth raised a smile, “I have two lives, you have three lives, according to the numbers, I seem to have taken advantage.”
“But in fact, if Shizi Consort can agree to it, it is a great advantage for us, and a great honor for us.” Nangong Min said frankly: “The situation in front of you should see very clearly, once the father fell, once that person gains power, he will not be able to tolerate us. That person is suspicious by nature, because of my identity, even if I really serve him, I am destined to be disallowed by him.”
“If there is a chance of survival in this world, no one would want to die, and neither do I. But God has given me a way back. But God has not given me much of a way back, and there are only two choices I can make, either to resign myself to that man and wait for his demise. Either that, is to gamble once, to keep the Shizi Consort safe and secure, and wait for Xiahou Jueyi’s return to be able to remember a favor, in exchange for a ray of life for me.”
After Nangong Min’s words, Gu Qingyuan looked puzzled. He – whether he also already knows Xiahou Juyue Yi’s identity.
Nangong Min looked at Gu Qingyuan’s non-response and non-speech, as if he knew what was in her mind, and said in a low voice: “If what Shi Zi Fei wants to ask me is, about the identity, then my answer is; yes! I know!”
When Nangong Min’s words came out, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes tightened.
“Shizi Consort should know that there are no absolute secrets in the world, and there is no impervious wall.”
Nangong Min finished, looking at the cold color in Gu Qingyuan’s eyes. Light smile: “Say what I think, tell you what I know, try my best to do what I can for you. Unreserved honesty, this is my sincerity. And what I bet on is not Xiahou Jueyi’s tolerance, generosity, but his courage!”
“And this choice about life and death. What makes me finally decide to bet is your decisive yet pure benevolence.”
“Benevolence? The fifth prince may have misjudged the person, benevolence has nothing much to do with me. Moreover, don’t you think it’s too risky to gamble your life for something that you can’t see?” Gu Qingyuan said in a clear voice.
“No, I can see and see very clearly.”
“See very clearly?”
Nangong Min looked at Gu Qingyuan’s cool eyes and laughed lightly, “Yes, I saw it very clearly. Seeing the marquis’s absolute protection of you, seeing the love of the minister Li for you, and the wholehearted love of Xiahou Jueyi for you. A marquis, a phase master, and that cold to the core man. They have all seen too much nasty, dark and chilling things in the world.”
“Because they have seen too much, experienced too much, so, can make them wholeheartedly guard the people and things but less and less. But in the eyes of the Marquis, the Sangha, you are a late relative worthy of their wholehearted guardianship. And in that man’s heart, you are also his inseparable, the only warm existence!”
Gu Qingyuan listened to, Nangong Min’s words, his expression did not have much fluctuation, only lightly said: “The fifth prince has returned to the capital only a few months, but what he knows seems to be a lot.”
“Because the Wei family’s demise, Nangong night’s crippling, and the mother consort’s extreme inadmissibility, all related to the Shizi Consort. Therefore, for a few months, the Shizi Consort is the only figure I have explored.”
“Since it is clear about the past. Then, that the choice at the critical time of life and death, do not think it is very unconventional?”
“Perhaps, looking at it is. But, those past show me a person who loves and hates clearly.”
“The fifth prince’s conclusion is always surprising.”
“Because I know that if Shizi Consort had not once kept silent in front of Xiahou Shizi, Nangong Night would not have just been crippled, and the Wei family was destroyed, Mother Consort would not still be well! Let Nangong night die, mother consort die, Xiahou Jueyi definitely has that ability to do and easily.”
“The fifth prince thinks too much, it’s not because he doesn’t want to, and it’s not because he can’t bear it, but because it’s better for them to live than to die.”
Listening to Gu Qingyuan’s cold words, the smile on Nangong Min’s face did not diminish in the slightest, and even became thicker, “What Shi Zi Fei thinks, I understand in my heart.”
“Since you understand, then you should know that I am not as ‘benevolent’ as you think, after the autumn accounts, know the kindness is not returned, over the river will tear down the bridge thing, I love to do.”
Gu Qing Yuan words out, Nangong Min can not help but lightly laugh out loud, looking at Gu Qing Yuan’s eyes burning shining.
The smile reflects the whole face more and more handsome extraordinary, and always gentle face, suddenly showed a different kind of charm color. The actual fact is that the actual person has a lot of time to get a lot of money.
Nangong Min looked at Gu Qing Yuan and laughed: “Because I have heard too much self-aggrandizement, compliments, icing on the cake and other kinds of true and false falsehoods and delusions, this is the first time so frankly heard the words of self-depreciation, because too new and rare. So, excuse me!”
At these words, Gu Qingyuan’s mouth twitched and pressed his eyebrows, not knowing what to say. At the same time, in his heart, he couldn’t help but think, at that time, Xiahou Jueyi didn’t know if he also felt the same way, thinking that she was weird!
Looking at Gu Qingyuan’s momentary trance-like expression, something flashed in Nangong Min’s eyes. After that, he said: “If some things are destined to escape, if the ending is also unchangeable. Then I would rather help a real bad guy like Shi Zi Fei than stand beside that hypocritical good guy.”
“Being in that place in the palace, hypocritical for a lifetime, in the last time to be real for a time! This way, at least the death will not be too unjust. I just hope that in the end, the World Prince Consort can give me a pain.”
The first time I heard a person like Nangong Min, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old and still considered a child, say ‘a lifetime’, Gu Qing Yuan felt funny. However, when looking at his young face, but his eyes were heavy with bleakness. Gu Qingyuan suddenly felt so pathetic again! In the palace that place, enjoy the ultimate glory and wealth, but every day is swimming in the edge of life and death.
Let a hand stained with blood, let a heart become cold and hard as stone, and become a lot of holes. A teenager has a heart like an old man, this is the result of experience in the palace.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Gu Qingyuan words out, Nangong Min eyes instantly crystal bright incomparable.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the bright light in his eyes and smiled lightly: “Although now I can not be sure whether my decision is right or wrong. But, because you in the end, hope to leave behind not yourself, and brother and mother. So, I also bet on the ‘kindness’ in your heart, and I hope that we can finally get, a different kind of success!
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
Because of her past with the mother consort, the royal brother, he understood this woman. Now, because he still ‘remembered’ them, and let him seize this ray of hope.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The heart of the man who is happy, but only he knows the stirring.
There are too many bad people around him, but none of them will admit it. There are also many people around him who value him, but what they value is his identity and the value he can use, which includes his mother’s concubine. However, no one will look at his heart, and no one cares if he is a good person, or a bad person. As long as he is still useful, it is good.
Only she, not looking at other, only because he is a person with a heart. And not because he still has use value.
Xiahou Jueyi how fortunate he is to have such a woman by his side.
Grand prince’s residence
“Master, today the fifth prince went to the earl’s residence to see Gu Qingyuan.” Fei Hu reported to Nangong Ling.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling’s brow furrowed, “Do you know what was said?”
“Because there is the emperor’s dragon shadow in the earl’s residence now, our people didn’t dare to get too close, so it’s impossible to know exactly what was said.”
“Is that so?” Nangong Ling listened with an uncertain expression.
“My lord, the fifth prince is always vague about his master’s intention to pull him in, and his answers are unclear. It seems to have a great wariness of the master, and my subordinate is really worried that he will help Gu Qingyuan to deal with the master.” Fei Hu frowned and said.
Nangong Ling listened and shook his head, “Nangong Min this person has always been cautious, also compared to Nangong night, Nangong Yu and other people are transparent, smart. Even if he is not attached to this hall, but definitely will not seek death to go to Gu Qing Yuan.”
“Then why did he look for Gu Qingyuan?” Flying Tiger is very unclear.
“Perhaps, it is to give this hall a guess as you just did, let me apprehend a bit, so as to give him a guarantee that he wants!”
“Safeguard?”
“Well! The reason why Nangong Min he did not take a stand is only because he saw the situation clearly in the future. He is worried, worried that after he submits to this Hall, he will end up decapitating him after this Hall’s deeds are accomplished. He is restless, he hopes that this hall will give him a token that can protect him from death.”
Nan Feihu listened to the dawn, “What is the master going to do?”
“This temple would love to give it to him, after all, it is still useful to keep such a smart person around.” Nangong Ling said after a pause: “Unfortunately, he is a brother with the Palace, so the Palace can be difficult. And too smart brother, also let people do not like ah! This temple does not want to raise a tiger as a problem. After all, people are always ungrateful, if he develops a greedy nature, it will be more than worth it, to get rid of it will take a lot of effort.”
Fei Hu listened, heart already understood, Nangong Ling’s decision. The master never likes to have restless people around, the master just needs absolute obedience.
“Then what should the fifth prince do now? Should we expel him from the capital.”
“No, letting him leave is not a good choice. There is no guarantee that such a person will not get out of control once he leaves. Therefore, he should be confined within sight to save him from doing anything to hinder.” Nangong Ling said lightly, “Keep a good eye on him, and when you find the right opportunity, get rid of him!”
“Yes, my subordinate understands.”
Flying Tiger’s words fell, Flying Eagle flashed and appeared in the house. He watched Nangong Ling take out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him with both hands respectfully, “Master, it’s from Dayuan.”
Hearing the words, Nangong Ling brow unconsciously frowned, took it, opened it, and very quickly scanned the content on it, after which his brow frowned more tightly.
Flying tiger, flying eagle look at each other, is it from the prince of great yuan? But what has happened?
Nangong Ling looked at their expressions, handed the letter in his hand to them, and said indifferently: “You guys take a look!”
“Yes!” Flying Eagle hurriedly took it, quickly read it, and then his eyes widened, “Master this ……”
Xiahou Jueyi was killed by the secret guard of a certain prince of Great Yuan. It is impossible not to let people be appalled and shaken by the fact that such a voice has appeared within the Great Yuan. If such news can be spread in Dayuan, then, it will surely spread to Haoyue soon.
At that time, this one is not good, it is likely to affect the two countries’ diplomatic relations. At such a critical moment, such a play, for the master is also very unfavorable ah!
What’s more, it may also affect the prince of the Great Yuan. If Murong Hao’s position is threatened, there is no guarantee that he will not say anything against his master!
After reading it, Flying Eagle also looked very serious, the seriousness and sensitivity of the matter he is naturally very clear. In this critical juncture, if there is a voice against the master, the consequences can be imagined.
“Master, what should we do now?” Flying Tiger said with a heavy face.
“It seems that some things have to be expedited again.” Nangong Ling said, an icy cold killing aura crossed his eyes.
Flying Tiger, Flying Eagle listened to the heart jolt, the so-called speed up, refers to what, they understand very well! It seems that the master is to take that position as soon as possible, and only then is more secure, as long as everything has become a final decision, those voices can not create any threat to the master.
“Flying Eagle pass orders to the secret guards of the Great Yuan, let them pay close attention to the movements in the Great Yuan, if there is movement immediately reported to the Palace.”
“Yes, my subordinates know.”
“Flying Tiger, follow me into the palace.”
“Yes, master.”
In the garden, Hong Xin looked at the depressed scenery in the garden, her face was very gloomy, her mood was worse than this scenery, it was so bad. So gloomy that she couldn’t see a trace of color, Gu Qingyuan was actually pregnant! Her husband was gone, the earldom was cut, she became a widow who was nothing, a person who could be trampled on by her.
However, she had just rejoiced for a few days, before she had the chance to see Gu Qingyuan’s sad, frustrated appearance, but unexpectedly waited for another news of her pregnancy to come. This made her heart deepen another layer of disgust for Gu Qingyuan.
She has talent, family, and looks, but she can’t have a man who loves her with all his heart like Gu Qingyuan.
Now, she has a husband, status, power, but until now there is no child.
She has a husband, a position, and power, but she doesn’t have a child until now. Gu Qingyuan can’t compare to her in anything, but in the end, she’s the one who has everything over her, so she can’t help but hate her!
The nurse on the side looked at Hong Xin’s ugly look, naturally understood her mood at this time, sighed, God is so fond of fooling people, even Gu Qingyuan such a vicious woman has a child, why can not let Miss smoothly have a child!
“Miss, you relax, there is absolutely no need to give Gu Qingyuan this true, she is having a child, may not give birth to that is the most important.”
Listen to the consolation of the nurse, Hong Xin face is still ugly, mood is not a little better, “she has a pregnancy before this consort, this is the fact, as for the result is no longer important.”
“Miss, you can not turn this bull’s-eye ah! She is a widow even if she has a child, it can only be more suffering, more difficult, she and you are completely incomparable, not even worthy of comparison, you are the clouds in the sky, she ah! Is that the dust on the ground, if you look at her displeasure, you blow, she will disappear. Therefore, Miss and such an insignificant person need not consume your mind.” The nurse, with a clever tongue like a lotus, comforted.
“But, what our highness likes is dust, and I am not even comparable to dust in his eyes. Now, Gu Qingyuan is at this time, fighting to keep a queen for Xiahou Jueyi. I’m afraid, in the eyes of our highness, she will soon become the blessed star girl, and I am the sweeper!” Hong Xin sneered.
“Blah blah blah …… Miss this curse words but can not be said, how obscure ah! If his highness heard, he did not have this idea in his heart, but in case if it is remembered in the heart, and when something bad happens, such an association, it is not to be ah! Miss, from now on, you can’t say such words anymore, absolutely not.” Nurse said urgently.
Hong Xin listened with a light expression, but also no longer say more, but just stared at the fading flowers in front of him in a daze of thought.
When she was lost in thought, Nurse’s voice rang out again in her ear, “Miss, it’s His Highness.”
When the nurse’s words came out, Hong Xin quickly raised her eyes and saw Nangong Ling walking with Fei Hu from over there. Hong Xin looked at Nangong Ling’s handsome face, remembering the good old days, a touch of bitterness flashed in her eyes, heartache. However, in an instant, it is hidden down, tidy clothes, try to raise a gentle smile, lift the foot to Nangong Ling to welcome over.
However, before she could go forward, Nangong Ling had already crossed her and walked briskly in the direction of the entrance of the house.
The smile on Hong Xin’s face froze as she stopped in her tracks and looked at Nangong Ling’s hurried back with a tense expression.
Nurse look at this, hurried to comfort: “Miss, his highness seems to have some urgent matter, so urgent that even we did not notice.”
Hong Xin heard a cold smile, “is not noticed, or the mind is not here at all, long ago do not know where to fly?” Hong Xin said a meal, suddenly thought of something, eyes slightly narrowed, “Nurse!”
“Miss!”
“Go and ask the concierge to see where His Highness went in that direction? Did you hear His Highness say where he was going?”
“Yes, Miss, I’ll go now.” The nurse received the order and walked quickly outside, while in her heart she couldn’t help but think, Miss she wouldn’t be suspecting that His Highness had gone to look for Gu Qingyuan!
Hong Xin stood in the same place, quietly waiting for the nurse, her face changing. Sometimes grief, sometimes indignation, sometimes aggression, sometimes indifference.
But a moment, the nurse turned back, with a touch of relaxation on her face, looked at Hong Xin and said, “Miss, the concierge said that His Highness had asked for a carriage to go to the palace.”
At these words, Hong Xin’s clenched hand loosened, and her face looked better.
Nurse look at this, sigh! It seems that Miss really thought that way just now. This is not a good thing, such nonsense thinking and the gap between His Highness will become deeper and deeper.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do. You should also go into the palace to see the empress! Otherwise, too long an interval the Empress is afraid of nostalgia for Miss.”
Hong Xin listened, something flashed in her eyes, silent for a moment, nodded, “Hmm! Then you go and get ready, let’s go into the palace to see the Queen Mother!”
Nurse listened to the instant smile, hurriedly said, “Yes, Miss. Old slave will go now.”
Hong Xin nodded her head.
Imperial Palace
Hong Xin held Nurse Nanny’s hand and just walked in front of the Empress’ palace when she saw a palace maid, with tears on her face and with fright and sadness in her eyes, running out like this.
Hong Xin looked at the frown, this palace maid is really no rules! However, looking at her seems to be the Queen’s close attendant. Hong Xin watched and gave a wink to the nurse.
The nurse immediately understood, hurried to the maid, words with heartache said: “Huan’er girl this is what happened? Is there something wrong?”
When she heard the voice, Huan’er was startled and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and when she saw the person in front of her, she froze slightly. Then, looking behind her, when she saw Hong Xin not far away, a flash of weakness flashed in Huan’er’s eyes, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant. She walked up to Hong Xin and bent down and said respectfully, “Slave servant has seen the imperial concubine.”
Hong Xin did not see the difference of the palace maid in front of him, then, very mildly said: “Get up!”
“Thank you, Imperial Consort.” Huan’er got up and looked at Hong Xin and said respectfully, “Is Imperial Consort here to see the Queen Mother?”
“Mm! I haven’t come to pay my respects to Empress Mother for a few days, so I came to see her today. Is the Empress Mother well?”
“Her Majesty is fine, she is talking to His Highness at this moment!”
When the palace maid spoke, Hong Xin’s eyes lit up and then faded, smiling lightly, “Really? Then, go in and see the Mother.”
Seeing the joy in Hong Xin’s eyes, Huan’er’s eyes darkened for a moment, but she quickly collected herself and called out to Hong Xin, “Wait a moment, Imperial Concubine.”
Hong Xin paused and turned her head, “Is there something wrong?”
“The Empress and His Highness are talking, just now ordered not to let anyone in for the time being, so ……”
Hong Xin listened and raised her eyebrows, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, “Even this consort is not allowed?”
“This, her majesty did not say, just slave servant worried that the imperial concubine at this time to go over, the empress will be unhappy, slave servant just now is a little risky, so it ……” Huan’er said paused, did not continue, just respectfully said. “Slave servant feels that it is better for the imperial concubine to wait a bit.”
Hong Xin listened with an uncertain expression.
The nurse on the side looked at this and hurriedly went to Hong Xin’s side and said, “The scenery in this courtyard is also very nice, so why don’t we watch it here for a while.” After saying that, she gave a wink to Hong Xin and pulled Huan’er to the side.
Hong Xin stood still, looking at the nurse smiling and put a purse into the hand of the ring, and the ring’s fearful refusal, Hong Xin’s eyes filled with ridicule, a court lady can know what. After a glance, Hong Xin turned his head to look away.
A moment later, the nurse face with a touch of shock, walked to Hong Xin’s side, look tense, whispered: “Miss, really big things have happened.”
“What’s the big deal?” Looking at Nurse Nurse’s tense appearance, Hong Xin raised her eyebrows.
“Miss, it’s better for Nurse to go back and tell you!” Nurse Nurse cautiously said.
“What is so tense?” Hong Xin frowned: “Don’t say anything in the middle of the sentence, it makes people anxious.”
Seeing that Hong Xin was not happy, Nurse hesitated for a moment and said, “Miss, please come with your ear.”
Seeing Nurse so mysterious, Hong Xin’s curiosity could not help but be tuned up, slightly leaning over, Nurse tilted her head and said a few words in her ear extremely quickly.
Hong Xin listened to a stunned, looking at Nurse looked uncertain, “just now that maid told you?”
“Yes, maybe that’s why she was reprimanded.” Nurse whispered.
Hong Xin’s eyes narrowed slightly as she listened, not expecting there to be such a thing.
“Why are you here?”
Nangong Ling’s voice suddenly sounded, Hong Xin then looked up, saw Nangong Ling, hurriedly collected her mind and slightly bent down, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
“Get up! Why are you here at this time?”
“I had nothing to do in the mansion, so I wanted to come and see the mother.”
Nangong Ling nodded at that, “You have a heart.”
“Your Highness said nothing, this is not what my concubine should do!”
Nangong Ling listened, the corners of his mouth raised a smile, but his eyes were indifferent, “Mother is tired, go back first today! Do not go in and disturb.”
Hong Xin listened and hurriedly said, “Mother but where is discomfort?”
“No, just a little tired of taking care of Father yesterday, want to rest.”
“Oh! That’s good.” Hong Xin listened and put down her heart.
“Don’t worry about it, go back first!”
“Good, does Your Highness want to meet the house?”
“I still have to visit Father and have something to report to him, so, I have to stay for a while.”
“Then I will wait for Your Highness to go back together.”
“No need, I don’t know how long I will stay yet. It’s cold and windy, so it’s not advisable to stay outside much, in case you hurt your body, it’s not good, so hurry back and rest!” Nangong Ling said gently.
Hearing Nangong Ling’s concern, Hong Xin’s face smiled more softly and said delicately, “Yes, then I will go back first.”
Nangong Ling nodded and looked at the nurse by Hong Xin’s side and said, “Take good care of Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
On the carriage back to the city, the nurse looked at Hong Xin and smiled, “Miss, you see that His Highness is very concerned about you!”
After Nurse finished, I thought Hong Xin would say something, but then I saw Hong Xin looked thoughtful.
“Miss, Miss ……”
“Oh! What’s wrong?”
“Are you unwell somewhere?” Nurse worried, “Old slave see you don’t look very well.”
Hong Xin shook her head and raised an inexplicable smile on her face and whispered, “No, I’m fine now, as fine as can be.”
Looking at Hong Xin’s sudden excitement, Nurse was slightly surprised, “What is it that makes Miss so happy?”
“Nurse, didn’t that maid in the palace just now say that Xiahou Jueyi’s death was the work of someone from Dayuan?”
“Yes, she did hear the empress say that.”
“Then, what do you think will happen if Xiahou Jueyi’s death is linked to Gu Qingyuan?”
“Miss, what does this mean?”
“Hehehe …… means that it was because of Gu Qingyuan that Xiahou Jueyi died. So, what do you think the emperor will do? Will he kill Gu Qingyuan right away?”
“Miss, this seems unlikely!”
“There is nothing impossible. You just wait and see! In less than two days, I want everyone in the capital to know that Xiahou Jueyue died because of Gu Qingyuan.” Hong Xin said gloomily, and with full expectation.
Gu Qingyuan this time you are sure to die, moreover, still die in my hands. Hahahaha …… is really looking forward to, pregnant with a lynching, this ending must be very interesting!
Grand prince’s residence
Nangong Ling soon after receiving the letter from the secret guards of the Great Yuan, then received a secret letter from Murong Hao. The content was, unsurprisingly, about the incident of Xiahou Juyue being killed by a certain prince of Great Yuan.
As a member of the imperial palace, Nangong Ling is well versed in the ways of survival and the machinations of the palace, as well as the crises that exist around him at all times. Preparedness, vigilance, calculations, these are what you have to do every day and every time. A little laxity, a little mistake, is a million calamities, will be reduced to a touch of the soul.
Da yuan country, although Nangong Ling has never been, Da yuan’s palace he has not touched. But he knows clearly, which and the Hao Yue Palace various concubines, between the princes, comparable, endless open and dark struggle, that either you die or I die of the dark regicide, calculations.
It seems that Murong Hao has been targeted, the dark guards around the prince, although their own, is hidden, but in that part of the palace, there is no way to completely hide, be hidden. Murong Hao’s secret guards are suddenly so much less, will definitely be given to suspicion.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Nangong Ling’s face was ugly. Just what they didn’t anticipate was that there was Murong Ye’s shadow in it. If it was just one of the princes, it would be easier to handle. But Murong Ye this person, seemingly mild and non-threatening, in fact, is extremely difficult to deal with a person.
Do not look at the other, just look at him is the only remaining prince of the Great Yuan Palace will be able to know. The new emperor is generally the first to do is to get rid of the potential threats around. Just as he could not tolerate Nangong Min.
When the Great Yuan Emperor succeeded to the throne, even the imperial son who was his sibling disappeared, but Murong Ye, the imperial son with his different mother, survived. What happened here, he has no way of knowing, but from this can be seen Murong Ye is definitely a person who should not be underestimated, by his eyes things can really become a little tricky.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Nangong Ling sneered: “What can he do? Nothing more than hoping that this Palace will take up the burden to solve his burning crisis.”
“It’s impossible for the master to take up the burden.” Flying Tiger directly and rightfully so, affirmed.
“In fact, there is nothing to bear, Xiahou Juyue is my Hao Yue’s person, how he died, when the matter is settled, it is not a matter of this hall’s words!” Nangong Ling’s voice was unconsciously tinged with a touch of self-congratulation of victory.
Feihu listened to the frown instantly relaxed, “master said yes, Xiahou Juyi was killed by the prince of Dayuan, the biggest fatal point is also afraid of causing riots in the two countries, Murong Hao was identified as the culprit who provoked the war, and was not allowed by Dayuan. But if this premise no longer exists, then, everything is also peaceful.”
Flying tiger just fell, flying eagle suddenly walked briskly, face is very serious, “master something.”
Flying Eagle words, Nangong Ling’s brow wrinkled, “What matter?”
“The incident of Xiahou Jueyi being killed by a certain prince of the Great Yuan, today there are suddenly people in the capital talking about it.”
The words came out, flying tiger was shocked, “so fast?” After Fei Hu finished, he looked at Nangong Ling with uncertainty and said, “There is something wrong with the master, we only received the news yesterday, how could it reach Haoyue today? If we didn’t have eyes in Haoyue, we definitely wouldn’t be able to learn about it so quickly.”
Fei Hu said suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice: “Could it be that Da Yuan also has spies in Haoyue. Is this news deliberately released by them? Is it to target the master? Could it be that they have already sensed that the master and Prince Murong have secretly joined forces with each other?”
When Fei Hu finished, Nangong Ling intuitively felt that something was wrong, “If it was released by the people of Dayuan. Then, the one who can plant in front of Hao Yue and have such ability can only be someone from the palace of Da Yuan. The murder of Xiahou Juyi, they most want to use should only want to pull down Murong Hao, absolutely will not want to cause a war between the Great Yuan and Hao Yue. After all, a war is not good for anyone. Therefore, this temple feels that it should not be done by the people of the Great Yuan.”
Flying Tiger listened to the heart set some, “If it is not the people of the Great Yuan out, then who is from where to spread it?”
Flying Eagle spoke up at this time: “Master, about the matter of Xiahou Juyi’s murder, I heard that I feel that someone is not targeting master, but Gu Qingyuan.”
“Against Gu Qingyuan?” Nangong Ling frowned.
Fei Hu was also stunned.
“Yes, someone in the capital said that the reason why Xiahou Jueyi was killed was because a certain prince of the Great Yuan liked Gu Qingyuan when he came to Hao Yue. However, because Gu Qingyuan coveted the position of the earl’s son consort and was infatuated with Xiahou Jueyi’s handsome and extraordinary appearance, her vain glory was at work. Therefore, Gu Qingyuan, who had already confessed her love for the prince of the Great Yuan, finally couldn’t let go of Xiahou Jueyi. Resolutely made the abandonment of the matter, ruthless, determined to kick away the prince of Dayuan.”
“At the same time, Gu Qingyuan secretly also put everything on Xiahou Jueyi’s body, saying to the imperial son of Dayuan that it was because Xiahou Jueyi did not let her go, and she had no choice but to stay demented.”
“Because of these actions of Gu Qingyuan, the imperial son of Dayuan held a grudge against Xiahou Jueyi. Following that, when Xiahou Jueyi went out to Lingcheng, he began to plan the murder, and only when Xiahou Jueyi returned to the capital, he would decisively assassinate him.”
When Flying Eagle finished, Flying Tiger was stunned, “If so, this is really completely against Gu Qingyuan. Greedy for vanity, greedy for power and wealth, backstabbing, treacherous, unchaste and dishonest, scouring the life of her husband, this is to take Gu Qing Yuan’s life!”
“This spreads on, Gu Qing Yuan is invaded pig cage, also let people feel that it should be.” Flying Eagle looked uncertain and said.
Nangong Ling listened to the frown is more and more tightly, said in a deep voice: “Da yuan’s royal son to haoyue is a few. But in the time period when Gu Qingyuan is suitable for marriage and involved with Xiahou Jueyi, only Murong Ye a person royal son came to Haoyue, which basically all the people of Haoyue know. So, to say that a certain imperial son killed Xiahou Jueyi is almost saying explicitly that it was Murong Ye who killed Xiahou Jueyi.”
Nangong Ling said, his face sank, flying tiger, flying eagle heart is also sunk.
“If this matter spreads to Great Yuan, it will reach Murong Hao’s ears. What kind of association do you think he will have?”
“Murong Hao will definitely feel that the master is going to cross the river and tear down the bridge, to remove himself and put everything on his shoulders.” Flying Tiger responded with a gloomy face, “Master, if that’s the case, a messed up Murong Hao is very capable of being angered and targeting the master in turn.”
“Master, this can be a serious problem, it is not good for us!” Flying Eagle said in a deep voice.
Nangong Ling’s eyes overflowed with a cold air, said coldly: “Flying Eagle.”
“Master.”
“Go and find out immediately, where did this come from? Bring more people over, this palace needs to know the news immediately.”
“Yes, master.” Flying Eagle led the order and disappeared inside the house in a flash.
“Your Highness.” Outside the door, came the voice of the boy.
Fei Hu listened to the sound and looked at Nangong Ling, seeing him nod before responding, “Come in.”
The boy walked in and looked at Nangong Ling and bowed down respectfully, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
“Get up!”
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
“Your Highness, the imperial concubine has just gone out.”
“Where did she go?”
“Went to the Earl’s House.”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling frowned, “Do you know what you went to do?”
“Listen to the maid in the imperial concubine’s courtyard said, is to go to congratulate Gu Qingyuan has a happy and went.”
Nangong Ling listened to the eyes slightly narrowed, silent for a moment spoke: “This hall knows, go down!”
“Yes.”
The young man retreated, Nangong Ling commanded: “Find someone to watch.”
“Yes, master.”
Jiu Yu Mansion
Gu Qingyuan sat on the second seat, looking at the crowd of people in front of her, silent. Congratulating herself on her pregnancy! The news spread really fast, and there are really many people who have a heart.
The first prince consort Hong Xin especially condescended to organize everyone to congratulate her, a woman who is no longer anything. And, because of her physical inconvenience, the Grand Princess was as attentive as a host, eagerly greeting the guests.
Hong Xin as a royal consort status noble, rightfully sat on the main seat.
Hong Xin looked down at the head, his eyes flashed with a sullen cold. I thought I would see a miserable, desolate Gu Qingyuan today. But did not line to, she and the past is still not much change. Still calm, bland, quiet! Look at the people greatly disappointed at the same time, the heart also more annoyed!
Gu Qingyuan she really can be cold enough, even Xiahou Juejiu’s departure from the son can not shake her a bit?
“Mrs. Xiahou, are you okay lately?” Hong Xin lightly smiled.
“Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine, I feel fine.” Gu Qingyuan responded in a slow voice.
“Mm! That’s good. Too many things have happened recently, this concubine was really worried that Lady Xiahou wouldn’t be able to hold on! Now it seems that you are even stronger than we all thought!” Hong Xin lightly smiled, but the words that came out, let people always have an inexplicable taste, like a sneer.
Hong Xin’s words, the following ladies in line with: “Yes! Mrs. Xiahou looks really good!” Said with a slight surprise: “I don’t know if it is because of pregnancy, my wife looks like Mrs. Xiahou has gained a lot of weight compared to before!”
Xiahou Juejiu is dead, but she has gained weight! Even if she is pregnant, I’m afraid the first thing that people who listen to it feel is that she is so heartless! The sarcasm is really not subtle. Gu Qingyuan is very calm analysis, sighing.
It seems that they came here today to rub salt into her wounds, and to expose her scars. Really have a heart.
“Madam Wu, you are too good at joking. It’s only two months pregnant, there won’t be much change in your body. I am afraid that Mrs. Xiahou has a good appetite and has simply grown some flesh!” A lady with a smile on her face, very enthusiastic corrected.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wu seemed surprised and said, “Is that so? I thought it was because I was pregnant that I gained weight! After all, Xiahou Shizi just passed away, Mrs. Xiahou how she would not ……” halfway through the sentence, Mrs. Wu seems to realize that the slip of the tongue, hurried to stop, turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan apologetic: “Mrs. Xiahou sorry, accidentally mentioned your sadness. “
So intentional carelessness, the performance is really not obvious.
Gu Qingyuan gently shook her head and lowered her eyes without saying anything. Perhaps it was enough for her to show her helplessness and sadness right now. There is no need to say too much, nor do I want to say anything!
Looking at Gu Qingyuan’s bitter and unsupported evil look, many people sitting in the room laughed heartily.
The eyes of Ling Yun beside Gu Qingyuan flashed with a grim look, are they blatantly bullying the Shizi Consort?
The first princess looked at Gu Qingyuan hanging head trance-like touch, what flashed in the eyes. But her face raised a sad, heart-wrenching forced smile, sighed, looked at the crowd and said: “Thank you all for coming to visit Qing’er today. It’s just that too many things have happened recently and there’s nothing to entertain, so please bear with me.”
“What are you saying, Princess! We came here to see Mrs. Xiahou, and seeing that she is better than ever, our hearts are at ease! Our hearts are now at peace!” A lady answered, sighed, and said, “But Mrs. Xiahou is really admirable! If this thing were on me, I might have fallen down long ago, maybe even with the idea of going together, where will be to raise themselves so fat.”
“Oh …… Mrs. Xiahou is not an ordinary person in the first place. We ah! Only look up to the part! But can not compare.”
“That’s true!”
“If you want me to say, it’s better to be like Mrs. Xiahou. Seeing that she is doing well, the son of Xiahou will be able to feel relieved when he finds out.”
“Yes! It’s better to be broad-minded and easy to forget. If not, I would not be able to bear it if I think of the love and affection that the son once gave to Mrs. Xiahou. A lady said can’t help but pick up the handkerchief, pressed the corner of the eye, very sad look.
“Think about it, to say who loves his wife the most in the capital, it is Xiahou Shizi! Hey! Now Xiahou Shizi is gone, Mrs. Xiahou can hold up really is not easy ah!”
“Not ……”
Hong Xin sat on the main seat looking at Gu Qingyuan hanging his head in silence, picked up the tea in his hand, lightly sip, covering the corner of the mouth upward arc. This feels really good.
The look between Gu Qingyuan is full of sorrow, but the bottom of the eyes is a quiet and happy. If only to use these words to hit her. If you want to see her cry in pain, then they are really going to be disappointed.
The first princess looked at Gu Qingyuan’s quiet appearance, her brow unconsciously frowned. These people have come here to say these useless nonsense? If so, she was really going to be disappointed. This person, Gu Qingyuan, is not something that can be brought down by these idle words.
Gu Qingyuan listened, thinking that they should say almost, she also almost heard enough. It’s time to leave. Thinking this, Gu Qingyuan got up!
Gu Qingyuan’s action, let Hong Xin holding the cup of the hand paused, eyes slightly narrowed, want to leave? The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
Gu Qingyuan got up and was just about to open her mouth.
One of the sisters beside Hong Xin spoke first: “In fact, if I were to say that Mrs. Xiahou can survive, I wonder if it is related to a rumor that the old slave heard when he came here today!”
“A rumor? What rumor?” Someone hurriedly asked.
The Sister was surprised to hear it, “Haven’t you heard?”
“Is it related to Lady Xiahou? If so, I did hear a few words, I just don’t know if I should say it?”
“What words? Should I still say it? So mysterious ……”
“Actually, it’s not a mystery, it’s just that I feel that if I say it, I’m worried that Mrs. Xiahou will be unhappy.”
Gu Qingyuan stood there, looking at the raised eyebrows, another round of you sing me and I will start?
“Oops! Heard something or hurry up and say it! If it’s good, it’s good to make Mrs. Xiahou happy. If it’s bad, it’s also good to let Mrs. Xiahou guard against it, since things have come out, it’s better to know early. What do you think? Mrs. Xiahou!”
Gu Qingyuan listened and said indifferently, “Madam Liu has a heart, however, I am not too eager to know.”
Gu Qingyuan’s direct refusal made Madam Liu’s stiffen for a moment, and her face instantly sank, “It seems that my good intentions are being taken for an ass’s liver and lungs.”
“Mrs. Xiahou, you should not do this, they are also a good intention. It’s because they are worried about you that they are like this, but you are too ungrateful.”
“Yes! How can you be so heartless!”
“Perhaps, we came to visit with good intentions today, but in their eyes they don’t like it, they may even think we are here to pick a fight!”
“Two ladies, you do not get angry, I see that Mrs. Xiahou does not want to listen. It’s not because of misunderstanding you guys or anything, but because she might have already heard it and that’s why she doesn’t like to hear it again.” The lady who claimed to have heard a few sentences, Moxie said, “After all, those words are not good words for Lady Xiahou!”
“Not good words, so is Lady Xiahou in a weak heart, or is she deliberately avoiding it!”
“If that’s the case, we should let everyone know. It’s just as well that Mrs. Xiahou is here, so it also gives her a chance to defend herself isn’t it. Save us from hearing about it outside in the future and misunderstanding her about something.”
“Yes! Say it! There are some things that can’t be hidden or evaded, it’s better to know earlier.”
“Is that so? In that case then I will say it at the request of all the ladies!”
“Go ahead! Say it!”
“Actually, it’s like this. When I came here today, I suddenly heard many people talking on the road saying …… that the reason why Prince Xiahou lost his life was all because of Lady Xiahou ……”
The words just came out, this rise and fall of exclaiming followed. Each and every one of them stared at Gu Qingyuan with wide eyes.
The first princess look a meal, face is full of shock, the heart also can not help but be shocked.
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, it seems not to fall on the well, but to crusade against themselves!
“Xiahou Gongzi was killed by Mrs. Xiahou? This …… this is too incredible, what is going on?”
“You hurry up and say, this is unclear, listening to me cold sweat came out.”
“I also ah! The wife killed her husband, it’s terrible.”
“You guys don’t think too horribly, in fact, in my opinion, Mrs. Xiahou should not be intentional! After all, it was too difficult to face that kind of choice in the first place.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s like this, more than a year ago, a certain imperial son of the Great Yuan came to Hao Yue, and at that time, seeing the beautiful-looking Lady Xiahou, her heart was moved at that time, and then it ……”
Flying Eagle had reported to Nangong Ling words, this lady to add oil and vinegar, infinitely expanded relayed. In her mouth simply became a watery woman, and Xiahou Jueyi became an incomparably pitiful, wronged and dragged by her vanity, and the innocent and pitiful people who lost their lives.
After a harrowing speech, everyone looked at Gu Qingyuan, the eyes are obvious, the ultimate dislike, disgust, spiteful.
Gu Qingyuan in their eyes has become an absolutely intolerable person, the abhorrent gaze, even if Gu Qingyuan was lynched at this time, a thousand cuts are not too much.
Some have already touched up tears, crying for Xiahou Jueyi’s unworthiness!
“Gu Qingyuan, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person, not knowing shame to such an extent, it’s a shame to have a woman like you in this world.”
“Yes! No wonder Xiahou Gongzi died and she still managed to live so well. I guess there is no one else in her heart!”
“It goes without saying, it must be so.”
“A woman like her is a pig cage. And yet she still has the face to live.”
“Shameless to such an extent, Mrs. Xiahou should be considered the first person.”
“I think it’s better for such a woman to disappear early.”
“It is good to disappear ……”
A group of ladies said, the group of emotions, under the mood, many people have stood up, towards Gu Qingyuan, condemnation of the gaze, with a certain gloom.
The first princess looked at the hand could not help but clench up nervously, the good show has finally begun.
Hong Xin has also put down the cup of tea in her hand, waiting for the exciting scene to appear.
Ling Yun blocked in front of Gu Qingyuan, coldly looking at them, eyes full of hostility, gloomy said: “If anyone dares to take another step forward, I will abolish her.”
Ling Yun’s words came out, and the people who moved forward paused for a moment. However, it was only a moment before they continued to move forward and said sarcastically, “Aiya! A maid dares to be so arrogant, the maids taught by Gu Qing Yuan are really different!”
“What kind of master has what kind of servant, the master is heartless, cold-blooded and heartless, the servant girl is also naturally lawless!”
“Such a servant girl should be sold immediately.”
“That’s right!”
When Qi Qi returned from the old marquis’ courtyard, he saw such a scene. In an instant, the murderous aura emerged in his eyes! With a sullen and cold face, he clapped his hands and said loudly, “Come on, men!”
The moment the sound was made, a hundred dark guards instantly appeared at Gu Qingyuan’s side, strong, iron-blooded fierce aura, instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. The atmosphere changed abruptly. Everyone’s face changed. The Grand Princess looked uncertain. Hong Xin’s face sank and looked at Gu Qingyuan in a calendar voice: “Is Mrs. Xiahou going to make a move?”
Gu Qingyuan looked at Hong Xin indifferently and said indifferently: “If you ladies want, this lady also has no objection at all to let the dark guards have a sparring match with them.”
“Unrestrained, Gu Qingyuan you are too bold.”
“Unrestrained? Daring? Oh …… someone used to say that a lot. And this is the only virtue I have left! Especially in this kind of life in danger, safety is threatened, I do not mind let these virtues play more thoroughly.” Gu Qingyuan lightly smiled, completely fearless and fearless said.
“Gu Qingyuan you ……” Hong Xin gritted her teeth, her heart surging with extreme anger, she dared to disobey herself in front of so many people, really do not know how to live or die.
Nurse see Hong Xin suffer, an arrow step to Gu Qingyuan side, mouth angry rebuke, “do not know life and death bitch, how dare so disrespect the imperial concubine! You should be beaten!” With that, she raised her hand and swung it towards Gu Qingyuan’s cheek.
However, as soon as the arm was raised, the person let out a sharp cry and fell to the ground with one hand clutching the arm that had just been raised, wailing and wailing.
Everyone froze, what happened? Hong Xin was stunned, did not react to what was going on for a moment? The Great Princess’ eyes narrowed slightly.
Ling Yun’s hand with the sword stopped and his brow furrowed! Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows and took a look at Ling Yun’s newly sheathed sword! How can you fall down before you even make a move!
Just think, a voice sounded, Gu Qing Yuan eyes flashed a smile!
“Aren’t you ladies here to visit Lady Xiahou? Why are you still fighting? This, the method of visitation is not appropriate, I’m afraid!” Nangong Min walked slowly with a gentle smile on his face, however, looking at the besieged woman, there was not a trace of laughter in his eyes.
Seeing Nangong Min, the Grand Princess’ brow furrowed. All the ladies and subordinates hurriedly bent down and saluted, “My husband has met the fifth prince.”
Nangong Min, however, as if he did not see or hear, lifted his feet and walked to Gu Qingyuan’s side, seeing that she was unharmed. Only then turned his head to look at Hong Xin, lightly laughed: “Imperial sister-in-law, this lackey hit people in front of you, you do not discipline a little, but not good ah! If word gets out, it will affect your reputation of virtue!”
Hong Xin looked at Nangong Min, expressionless and said, “Your brother misunderstood, it’s really Mrs. Xiahou who ……”
Hong Xin’s words have not finished, only to see Nangong Min suddenly raised his foot, to the fallen on the ground pain, moaning nurse, fierce kick over!
A foot down, accompanied by a sharp howl, the nurse instantly flew out, and the water run down to the bottom, stirring up a large dust and ash, the air also carried a splash of blood splashed around. The old lady curled up in a ball, wailing and disappeared, leaving only a few inaudible moans.
The sudden action of Nangong Min, all the people were stunned, while the heart was stunned and uncertain, what does the fifth prince mean by this? The first thing you need to do is to give support to Gu Qingyuan?
After Hong Xin was stunned, his face was full of cold anger, “Fifth royal brother, what do you mean by this?”
Nangong Min raised his eyebrows and said innocently and simply, “Educating the servant for your sister-in-law! Is your sister-in-law not happy?”
“Fifth royal brother, you don’t ask the reason, you don’t know right from wrong. Just acting so recklessly is too much.” Hong Xin said in a deep voice.
“Is Imperial Sister-in-law saying that I have done wrong? If so, then I hereby make amends to Your Majesty’s sister-in-law.” After saying this without waiting for Hong Xin’s response, he turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan and said gently, “Lady Xiahou, this prince sees that you don’t look very well, so you’d better go in and take a rest! It’s too pandemonium here, it’s not good for the child.”
Gu Qingyuan nodded at his words and respectfully said, “What the fifth prince said is true, I am a little uncomfortable, so I will leave first.”
“Go on! Go and rest! Here, your aunt is helping to take care of it, there will not be any problem.” Nangong Min’s words were gentle, but with a heartbreaking taste, he looked at the Great Princess and said, “Did the imperial aunt take good care of you just now?”
“The fifth prince has spoken too much, my palace does not dare to be.” The first princess’ heart overflowed with cold color, but the surface was not the least bit different. It seems that Nangong Min is on Gu Qingyuan’s side, what a surprise!
Hong Xin saw Gu Qingyuan ready to leave like this, how can she be willing, calendar voice said: “Gu Qingyuan, you stop this concubine!
But Gu Qingyuan continued to walk forward as if she had not heard.
Hong Xin looked at this, eyes on fire, face dyed with hostility, “Someone, take her to this concubine.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Several guards rushed towards Gu Qingyuan.
The first thing that happened was that the person who had been in the room for a long time had been in the room for a long time.
A word out, the dark guards moved, shifting figures, hands up sword raised, hands down blood splashed, not even duel, not even wailing. Look again, Hong Xin’s several guards have fallen in a pool of blood, the head of two separate families.
Such a bloody, brutal scene, so that those who are accustomed to the use of underhanded lady, the face instantly pale, immediately screamed.
The Grand Princess looked at the heart also could not help but a endowment, Hong Xin eyes widened, eyes full of horror, they dare, how dare they kill their own people. They dare to ……
Gu Qingyuan stopped, turned around, looked at the ladies whose faces were full of shock, raised his eyebrows, and laughed lightly: “Qi reckless!”
“My lord!”
“If any of the ladies present are dissatisfied, if anyone raises an objection, send her away all together!”
“Yes, master, my subordinate understands!” Kiri Ji answered respectfully, the long sword in his hand instantly came out, cold, bloodthirsty bright light, making everyone’s heart tremble! Gu Qingyuan is really crazy! How dare she kill someone so unabashedly!
The heart is afraid, but some people are not believe that evil, but also can not admit to endure such a stifling, fierce and unyielding indignation stood out, looking at Gu Qingyuan roared: “Gu Qingyuan, you are really too lawless, you killed their husbands, this time even have to kill us, you …… uh ……”
The caller’s words were not finished, the person fell to the ground, eyes still with unresolved anger, but the breath has been completely gone. The qi肆 coldly looked at the corpse on the ground, the long sword with a splash of blood red. Coldly said: “I don’t know how to live and die!”
Kir肆 this move, this time is really all the people are scared silly, actually really killed, really killed, not in the scare them, is really, is really take life ……
The blood red baptism, so they also began to understand that this is not a dream, more than illusion, but really, they really may not live at any time …… thoroughly understand the moment, just still have disbelief, do not think the ladies, face instantly brushed white, trembling, some have been unable to bear paralyzed on the ground.
Looking at the dead person, Hong Xin sucked in a cold breath, they actually killed her sister-in-law!
“Gu Qingyuan how dare you ……”
Gu Qingyuan stroked her belly and looked at Hong Xin and laughed lightly, “Your Imperial Highness, if you want my life. Then, I also do not mind at all, also will certainly let you and I go to hell together! So, in the future, you’d better think twice before you make a move.”
“Gu Qingyuan you ……”
Nangong Min looked at the person who walked briskly, his face raised a smile, “The eldest brother is here ah!”
Nangong Min words out, Hong Xin quickly turned his head, see to this side of Nangong Ling eyes bright, the heart instantly fixed, the feeling of nothing to rely on disappeared, the whole mile immediately calm, a sinister look at Gu Qingyuan, cold smile, wait for her to look good.
All the ladies saw that Nangong Ling had come, their eyes were filled with joy, great! The great prince has come, they will not die! They won’t die! See if Gu Qingyuan still dares to be arrogant in front of the Grand Prince!
Nangong Ling walked to the banquet hall, stopped in his tracks and looked at the scene in front of him. Raising his eyes, he looked at Gu Qingyuan, looking at her cool, indifferent, unperturbed expression, and his eyes shrank slightly!
Hong Xin stood there, originally thought that Nangong Ling arrived first to do is to first see if she is well! However, what she did not expect was that the first thing he looked at was Gu Qingyuan!
This move, so Hong Xin face changed, just now the fear, stifled, plus now Nangong Ling’s actions. Hong Xin can no longer hold back, tears gushed out, whimpered: “Husband, you really can’t see me?”
Hearing Hong Xin’s voice, Nangong Ling raised his eyes and looked at her aggrieved, humiliated expression. Nangong Ling’s eyes flashed with killing energy, the culprit of the rumors was actually her! The most stupid woman ……
“Your Highness, just now that bitch Gu Qing Yuan she wanted to kill us, she …… ah ……”
“Ah ……”
Before a word of denunciation was finished, the person was already decapitated! And this time, the person who struck was not Qi Qi, but the flying tiger beside Nangong Ling!
This move, the already relieved ladies, the heart again raised, and more fear! Terrified! At this point, their brains are no longer enough to understand what the hell is going on! Why do they all want to protect Gu Qingyuan. The fifth prince is like this, and now even the eldest prince is also like this. This ……
The Grand Princess was also subdued at this point! Is there something going on that you don’t know about?
Hong Xin mouth open wide, tears stopped in the eyes unbelievingly looking at Nangong Ling, what is he doing? This is to protect Gu Qingyuan in front of his own face? He ……
“Flying Tiger!”
“Master!”
“Bring all these back to me!”
“Yes, master!” Fei Hu led the order, raised his hand, and the guards around him immediately stepped forward and took the dazed ladies out without hesitation.
In just a moment, the courtyard was empty. There was also a more urgent silence.
Gu Qingyuan glanced at the few people left in the courtyard and said indifferently, “Qi wreck!”
“Master!”
“Send the guests!”
“Yes!”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Nangong Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Nangong Min was very good-natured and said, “Madam Xiahou take care, I’ll take my leave!” After saying that, he nodded slightly to Nangong Ling and turned to leave.
The Grand Princess didn’t say anything and left without a sound!
In the courtyard instantly left Nangong Ling, Hong Xin two masters!
Nangong Ling did not look at Hong Xin, but only instructed to Flying Tiger: “Clean up this place!”
“Yes, master!”
Hong Xin smiled, hatred flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised in a mocking smile, “Is Your Highness cleaning up Gu Qingyuan’s mess?”
For those words with questioning, Nangong Ling acted as if he didn’t hear them, watching the flying tiger act, Nangong Ling turned around and left!
Hong Xin see Nangong Ling unexpectedly ignore themselves to this, heart trembling, teeth tightly clenched lips, lift feet towards Nangong Ling side run, close, reach out, pull Nangong Ling’s long sleeve. However, just touching Nangong Ling’s arm, people were thrown out.
Thrown heavily on the ground, Hong Xin had a momentary vertigo. And in a trance, it seems to see Nangong Ling’s sunken cold, with a murderous eye!
After everyone left, Ling Yun looked at Gu Qingyuan and hurriedly said, “Are you okay, master?”
Qi Qi also looked at Gu Qingyuan with worry!
Gu Qingyuan looked at them and said with a bitter smile, “It doesn’t seem to be very good!”
“Slave servant will take your pulse!”
“But where is the discomfort?”
Two people said in one voice.
Gu Qingyuan shook her head and smiled lightly, “I’m hungry!”
Gu Qingyuan’s words came out, and a long sigh overflowed from Qi Qi’s heart. Ling Yun’s heart was relieved and hurriedly said, “Slave servant asked Lanzhi to prepare food for the master.”
“Good.”
Ling Yun left, Gu Qing Yuan looked at Qi Xuan and said, “This time the rumor is related to Hong Xin?”
“Yes, my subordinates have not yet thoroughly investigated it, however, they have found the shadow of someone close to the Grand Imperial Concubine. Especially looking at her hostility towards the master today, I think there is a great possibility that she should be the one who plotted this.” The qi wrecked cold voice said.
Gu Qingyuan listened and said indifferently: “Hong Xin targeted me for that unfounded matter, thinking that those rumors were the best humiliation for me and would become fatal to me. But how could she have imagined that she had accidentally touched the taboo thing of Nangong Ling? With Nangong Ling’s temperament, Hong Xin’s days must be very exciting!”
“Evil people have their own evil grinding, heart so malicious, living is a sin.” Qi肆 voice with a hidden indignation said.
Gu Qingyuan listened, shook his head and sighed! If Xiahou Jueyi was there, Qi Xuan would not have held back, and I’m afraid that not only two, but all of the ladies present would have died! But now the situation is forced, he also had to not tolerate it. This is also aggravating to him such as a person of good will!
“Kiri, don’t investigate about the rumors anymore. The great prince should handle it well.”
“The subordinate really wants to investigate the Grand Prince’s residence.” Qi Xuan ground his teeth and said.
Gu Qing Yuan laughed lightly, it seems that Qi Xuan really has a lot of fire in his heart!
Qi肆 finished, his eyes overflowed with frustration, in fact, he understood that even if he had found out about the Grand Imperial Consort, he could not do anything with her now, and there was not much point in finding out and determining it.
“These rumors the emperor does not know what the reaction will be when he hears them?” Qi Qi frowned and said.
“The emperor should be very unhappy to hear it! However, for the time being life should not be worried!” Gu Qingyuan said lightly, “Moreover, if I can still have someone summon me and meet me face to face. It proves that the current situation in the palace has not yet reached that critical juncture. But, afraid only afraid that Nangong Ling he does not want the emperor to see me, worried that I will say what should not say! And, the emperor has also reached the level of intention but not power! If that’s the case, it won’t really be calm for long.”
When Qi Qi listened, he looked grave! If Nangong Ling gets that position, what should the master do?
Gu Qingyuan had eaten and did not see any news coming from the palace, not even a hint of movement. At that time, Gu Qingyuan knew that something was really imminent.
Gu Qingyuan stroked her belly, which was already protruding, and sighed: when is the man going to come back! She really feels a little tired!
But, two months pregnant belly is so big? Thinking, Gu Qingyuan brow wrinkled, eyes overflowing with worry, raised her eyes to look at Ling Yun said: “Ling Yun, do you feel that my belly seems to be growing especially fast! It’s only been two months and it’s already protruding, is the baby really growing so fast? This is normal, right?”
Looking at Gu Qingyuan’s uncertain and worried appearance, Ling Yun’s eyes flickered slightly, and a touch of indecision appeared between her expressions.
And Gu Qingyuan looked at Ling Yun’s hesitant look, her heart instantly sank, the hand stroking her stomach tightened, eyes tightened, silent for a moment, spoke: “Ling Yun, about the child I do not want you to hide me.” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Ling Yun heard Gu Qingyuan’s words and understood that she had misunderstood, but it also made her truly understand that her master loved the child in her belly so wholeheartedly, even if he had any flaws or defects, her master had never thought of abandoning her.
Ling Yun respectfully looked at Gu Qingyuan and softly said, “Master, the child is very good.”
At that, Gu Qingyuan instantly raised her head, her eyes were obvious joy, “Really?”
“Yes, the little master is fine.”
“That’s good!” Gu Qingyuan really felt relieved, and then some doubts: “Then you ……”
“However, regarding the little master, slave servant did conceal some things from the master.” Ling Yun opened her mouth and said frankly.
“What is it?”
“Slave servant can now clearly detect from the master’s pulse that there should be two children in the master’s stomach.”
Ling Yun’s words came out, Gu Qingyuan jerked up, her eyes widened, so shocked for the first time, “You …… you just said, two? Two children?”
“Yes, at the beginning the pulse was not too clear, slave servant also worried that the master was too stressed, so, some time ago did not dare to report to the master, also please master atonement.”
Gu Qingyuan listened and shook his head, just looked a little dazed, murmured: “The stomach inside actually lived two children? Two ……” After the murmur, her eyes were annoyed, but more than that, she was happy, “Xiahou Juyue, this bastard, is really abominable!”
Ling Yun heard Gu Qingyuan scold someone for the first time, and also scolded her master, so she couldn’t help but widen her eyes and was surprised.
However, but see Gu Qingyuan scolded, there happy smile, eyes with a touch of watery, “But, this is so good, so good ……”
“Yes, the master is lucky to have twins in one pregnancy, however, the master is afraid that it will be very hard in the future.”
“There is no pregnancy that is not hard! It is also hard to carry one, now work harder and have two at once, very cost-effective, very cost-effective!” Gu Qingyuan said, with a face full of self-congratulation, happily said: “Ling Yun, am I not very powerful? In a short time, there will be two new beings in the world, or beings that are connected to my bloodline, I really feel very happy.”
“Yes, master is very powerful.” Ling Yun nodded, but there was a touch of sourness in her eyes, how good it would be if Master Shizi was by her master’s side at this time!
“But, now that there are two, shouldn’t I have more, that way I can make sure they will grow well!”
“Master doesn’t have to push too hard, just eat when you feel hungry, and stop when you’re full.”
If it was the very beginning, Ling Yun would have said yes! But now, she didn’t want to say that! These days, looking at Gu Qingyuan eating for the sake of the child, struggling to eat, inexplicably felt very heartbroken!
“Mm! I know.”
Grand prince’s residence
Hong Xin was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the white mantle in front of her, looking dumbfounded, but her eyes kept leaving tears. She really didn’t understand how her life could turn out like this, she didn’t understand!
The husband of his own husband is actually loving and caring for a woman who is a wife and is pregnant. But to his own wife, the real wife, is disgusted, disgusted very much. And even …… Hong Xin thought tears fell more fierce, if her memory is not wrong, in the jade house, when she wanted to pull Nangong Ling, but was he decidedly, coldly to push away, that is a decisive refusal, absolute disgust.
And if she was right, at the moment she fell to the ground dizzy, she clearly saw the killing intent in her husband’s eyes! Yes, the killing intent! How ridiculous, how sad, her husband disgusted with her to the extent that he wanted to kill her!
Ohhh …… is there a woman in this world who is more pathetic than her? She is even more miserable than Gu Qingyuan, who lost her husband, but she was once loved by Xiahou Jueyi with all her heart!
But what about her! She had a husband, but it was a husband who wanted her to die! Who is more pathetic, who is more ridiculous? Who is more pathetic, who is more ridiculous? It is she ……, so, what is the point of her living, it is better to die ……
Hong Xin’s thoughts had just risen when she heard the voice of a maid greeting her at the door, “Slave servant to see Old Lady Hong.”
“Well! Get up!”
“Thank you, Old Lady Hong.”
“Is your imperial consort inside.”
“Yes, Old Lady Hong, please come in.”
“Hm!”
The conversation fell and the sound of footsteps rang in the ears.
In a moment, Hong Xin saw a maid walking in with her own grandmother.
“Imperial Consort, Old Lady Hong has come to visit you.” The maid respectfully reported.
Hong Xin did not say anything, but only looked at her loving mother’s eyes fell more fierce tears. The eyes were filled with a large swath of aggression, humiliation, and sadness.
Old Lady Hong looked at Hong Xin like this, what flashed in her eyes, but no big change on her face, just faintly said: “I have something to say to your imperial concubine, you all go away first!”
Hearing Mrs. Hong’s order, the maids in the room did not hesitate, said yes in unison and retired respectfully.
In an instant, Hong Xin and Old Lady Hong were left in the room.
Looking at Old Lady Hong, Hong Xin whimpered and spoke, “Grandmother ……”, however, just opened her mouth and was subdued by Old Lady Hong’s cold, icy words.
“Why are you crying, is it because you have killed your sister-in-law and you find it hard to bear and cry in your heart?”
Old Lady Hong’s words came out, Hong Xin’s eyes widened and she didn’t know how to react for a moment! The grandmother did not come to give herself justice, but to give reproach to herself? Thinking of this, Hong Xin’s already aggrieved heart added a touch of unbearable grief, and anger!
“Grandmother, are you here to ask your granddaughter about her sin?” Hong Xin’s voice also sank, with an outburst of meaning, sneering, “Saying that I have harmed sister-in-law. I’m afraid grandmother is mistaken about one thing, sister-in-law was not killed by me, but by Gu Qingyuan, it was her! This was seen by many ladies at the time, so if grandmother has fire, anger, hatred can go to Gu Qingyuan, granddaughter is the poor innocent person, more can not suffer such a wrongful accusation.”
Hong Xin words out, the old lady Hong’s eyes full of disappointment, “it seems that before I see you stable, atmospheric, talent is unmatched! So in the Hong family so many children and grandchildren, I especially valued you, that is, I think you must be a will become the atmosphere, but now it seems that I thought wrong. You have never been aggrieved, do not know how to tolerate and bear with people, how can become a climate! It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be ignorant and stupid to such an extent.”
Old Lady Hong’s conclusion was simply heart-breaking words to Hong Xin’s ears. People fiercely do up from the bed, looking at Old Lady Hong, eyes bursting red, “Grandmother, now you also began to disgust granddaughter, look down on granddaughter? Is granddaughter so unbearable in your eyes?”
Old Lady Hong expressionless look at Hong Xin annoyed, thunderous look, sneer understand ah: “I would like to look at you high, but you see for yourself you do is the thing, that piece is to their own long face, is to the Hong family face.”
Hong old lady said in a deep voice: “You as the imperial consort, you will manage your backyard well, serve the eldest prince just fine. But what about you? But you want to touch that Gu Qingyuan, who has a dead husband and has no great connection with you and will not threaten you!”
“Gu Qingyuan is a kind of person, you are not unclear, not do not know her, you should know that woman is not a person who can be arbitrarily pinched, let you pinch and roll round. She is a smart, very deep person, and also a ruthless woman. You want to go up against her, a mistake will be her to a fierce back bite.”
“The capital city against her a lot of people, want to calculate her also a lot of, but the final result, you have seen how, did not you? Even those with higher status than you are ruined in her hands, the Wei family is the entire clan destroyed! Such a person, she does not come to stain you, but you are still bashful to take the initiative to go up and fight with her, want to compete with her master a high and low! Prove how great you are?”
“Or do you think that she will do what she wants to do when she has no husband to rely on? So you can take advantage of her prestige?”
“But what happened? You are a great disgrace. You also caused the death of your sister-in-law, but also dragged the whole Hong family by the Great Prince blame! You yourself, I’m afraid, is also disgusted by the Grand Prince! This is the result of your fight with Gu please? The best way to say that you are not good enough to steal a chicken is to say that you are not good enough.”
The old lady Hong was unforgiving, and did not leave a trace of face, reserved words out, Hong Xin almost fainted, heart panting violently, could not accept looking at the old lady Hong said: “Grandmother, granddaughter in the eyes of the so bad? Also, grandmother, you don’t know anything, you don’t know anything clearly. It’s not fair for you to talk about your granddaughter like this.”
“Do you know how much I have been aggrieved? You know even less, I am not at all against Gu Qingyuan for no reason, but for a reason, she ……”
Before Hong Xin finished her words, she was interrupted by Old Lady Hong, “I already know from your nurse’s mouth why you are interested in Gu Qingyuan, you don’t need to repeat it again. I don’t want to hear it again either.”
“Do you really know, grandmother? Are you really clear? If you know everything, why did you say those words just now?” Hong Xin said with disbelief.
“I know it all, know how inferior you are in front of Gu Qingyuan, know how envious, defiant and jealous you are of her. That’s why you did such a foolish thing.” Old Lady Hong said in a cold voice.
When Old Lady Hong’s words came out, Hong Xin was like being pricked by a needle and said sternly: “I didn’t envy her, let alone be jealous and disobedient, I was just angry at her shamelessness, at her ignorance and shamelessness in seducing my husband when she was already a crippled woman, she was the one who provoked first, ignored me and didn’t put me in her eyes, that’s why I ……”
“Hong Xin, you are my granddaughter and grew up under my watchful eyes. I what kind of nature, I know very well, you a mouth that sentence is a lie, that sentence is the truth I will know at first hearing! So, such a cover up, to find excuses for their own false words or do not say. I’m not so confused that I’m being fooled by you and led by the nose.” Old Lady Hong said with an indifferent face.
When Hong Xin heard that, her face tightened and her mouth pursed: “Grandmother is not believing what granddaughter said.”
“Whether I believe it or not is no longer important. I came here today to tell you one thing.” Old Lady Hong looked at Hong Xin and said inaudibly, “What you did this time could not hurt Gu Qingyuan in the slightest, however, it caused great trouble for the Grand Prince. So, if you are smart, shut your mouth for me, put away this aggrieved and pitiful look, don’t look at anything, don’t listen to anything, don’t raise a single question to the Grand Prince, let alone probe, do as you are told, and live in silence.”
Old Lady Hong finished, looking at Hong Xin’s shocked, unknown, unacceptable look, and said soberly, “Hong Xin, you’d better remember my words. If not, you will not be far from death. If you dare to say one more word nonsense, dare to move one more time, no one can save you, and no one will save you ……”
“The Hong family was almost destroyed because of you, and the Grand Prince almost gave up all his work because of you, so, even if you die, you deserve to die, and now, to still be able to breathe is already a great mercy of the Grand Prince, and the last thing the Hong family can do for you. You can do it!”
Old Lady Hong’s words came out, and Hong Xin sat down on the bed at once.
Old Lady Hong looked at Hong Xin’s shaken and unbearable appearance, there was not a trace of pity in her eyes, extremely indifferent glance at her, turned to leave! The heart began to think, Hong Xin is no longer able to get the Grand Prince’s attention, perhaps, the Hong family should pick a new person over, to keep the Hong family women in the palace should have the dignity and status.
The rumors have just begun, but they have subsided in the blink of an eye, like a breeze, and have dissipated before many people even notice.
After Gu Qingyuan knew, she smiled lightly, the hands of the great prince are really about to cover this piece of heaven.
Ling Yun walked into the small garden, looked at Gu Qingyuan who was sunbathing, walked into her side and said softly, “Master, the fifth prince is here.”
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes at the words and looked at Nangong Min walking over with a clump of flowery dolls. Seeing those things, Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows!
Nangong Min walked to Gu Qingyuan’s side, naturally sat down next to her, raised the doll in his hand, smiled and said, “Is it nice?”
Gu Qingyuan reached out and took one, looked at the lifelike face person, nodded, smiled lightly and said, “Good-looking!”
Listen to Gu Qingyuan said good-looking, Nangong Min smile open, “originally I wanted to buy you some delicious over, but I do not know what you can eat, what can not eat, afraid to buy the wrong, so did not dare to buy. I bought this for you to relieve your boredom, but also as a gift for the children, I see that the children outside are very fond of this.”
A gift for children! Hearing these words, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes flashed with softness, “Hmm! He will definitely like it too, thank you!”
“No need to thank you, it’s not something valuable.” Nangong Min laughed.
Gu Qingyuan smiled, didn’t say anything, sighed in her heart, the first one to give her child a gift was actually Nangong Min!
“How are you doing lately?”
“Mmm! It’s okay!”
“That’s good. I remember when I was outside before, I saw some women who were pregnant were throwing up like crazy.”
“Everyone is different, I probably haven’t had time yet!”
“It’s the baby that’s well behaved! Maybe he’s so peaceful because his heart aches for you.”
“Oh …… the fifth prince knows so much.”
“Because have seen a lot.”
“Seen a lot of pregnant women?”
“No…… no…… where I would have seen a lot of pregnant women, it’s been outside for a long time, so I know more or less.” Nangong Min suddenly some shy sweat said.
Looking at Nangong Min suddenly at a loss for words, Gu Qingyuan could not help but lightly laugh out loud.
Looking at Gu Qingyuan’s smile like a flower, Nangong Min had a momentary daze, but instantly recovered naturally, scratching his head, followed by raising a silly smile.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. Nangong Min?
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. The face is not the slightest fluctuation, lightly smiled and said: “Qi imperial doctor is here.”
Gu Qingyuan heard the words, turned his head, saw Qi Yichen shallow smile.
The first thing you need to do is to look at Gu Qingyuan’s smiling face, Qi Yichen collects the look in his eyes, faintly glances at Nangong Min, lifts his feet and walks towards Gu Qingyuan.
Walking to Gu Qingyuan’s side, he said softly, “How is it? Is your body okay?”
“Mm! It’s okay!”
“Come, let me check your pulse.”
“Okay!”
Gu Qingyuan cooperated and extended her wrist, allowing Qi Yichen to check her pulse.
Nangong Min looked at Qi Yichen’s complete disregard for himself, the smile on his face deepened, the glance he gave himself just now, if he was right, it should be a warning! The first thing you need to do is to get away from Gu Qingyuan? ……
Gu Qingyuan looked at Qi Yichen diagnosis, eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at Gu Qingyuan eyes flashed a touch of surprise!
Gu Qingyuan looked and laughed lightly: “I’m amazing, right!”
“Yes, Qing’er is very remarkable.” After hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Qi Yichen knew that Qing’er already knew that there were two children in her belly. At this moment, Qi Yichen also did not have the irritation and unwillingness he had when he first diagnosed Gu Qingyuan’s pregnancy. Now his heart is full of excitement, and heartache!
“The child is very good, take good care of your body, understand?” Qi Yichen said gently.
“Mm! I know.”
“Eat more, be more active, don’t be too lazy, okay?”
“I have eaten more, and I have moved around!”
“I haven’t seen you move a few times, you need to move around more.”
“I do!”
“In case your legs swell up later, it will be hard to move.”
“Will it swell?”
“Not necessarily, but with your heavy body, it probably will.”
“Face also swollen?”
Qiyi Chen: …… “You care?”
“I really do care a little bit knowing that I’m going to become a pig’s head.”
Qi Yichen listened and glared at her, “Don’t think about all that nonsense.”
“Good! I got it. However, Imperial Doctor Qi you are becoming more and more like a woman.”
Qi Yichen gritted his teeth, “Where do I look like a woman?”
“Your face! It’s getting prettier and prettier.”
“Shut up!”
“Joking, joking, actually it’s the mouth, more and more nagging!”
“Gu Qing Yuan ……”
“Oops! I’m a little hungry, I’m going to go find some food.” Gu Qingyuan said he got up and walked away at a brisk pace.
The look of the obvious fleeing, Qi Yichen eyes flashed helplessly, but look at her hurried steps, said in a deep voice: “You give me a little slower, do not know to be careful?”
Qi Yichen saw Gu Qingyuan’s footsteps slow down instantly after he finished speaking.
Qi Yichen watched and sighed, really unsettling!
The first thing you need to do is to look at Qi Yichen’s expression and his concern for Gu Qingyuan’s words, something flashed in Nangong Min’s eyes and he laughed lightly: “Royal Doctor Qi and Madam Xiahou seem to be very familiar with each other.”
Hearing Nangong Min’s voice, Qi Yichen turned his head, looked at him, and coldly said, “Fifth prince this is not a place for you to come.”
“That seems inappropriate for Imperial Doctor Qi to say.”
“It’s even more inappropriate for you to come.”
“But, as long as she thinks it is appropriate, I will come.”
Qi Yichen listened to the icy color flashing in his eyes, but what no longer said more, turned to leave.
Nangong Ling looked at Qi Yichen’s back, the smile on his face disappeared, feelings turned into guarding?
Two months have passed, the capital’s not much movement, but there are things that unknowingly, as if the natural change is happening.
For example, the emperor was deeply shocked by the sudden death of Xiahou Jueyi, and could not bear to fall ill at once. The imperial doctors in the palace probed and treated the emperor’s pulse one by one, and every day various kinds of precious and rare medicinal stones and tonic medicines were continuously sent into the emperor’s mouth.
However, unfortunately, the Emperor’s body is sometimes good and sometimes bad, no healing! Now two months have passed, the emperor’s health has begun to deteriorate, even the time awake are less and less, not to mention the court, presiding over the dynasty.
But, the state affairs can not be delayed, always need someone to preside over. Following, the emperor is seriously ill, the eldest prince Nangong Ling rightfully began to take charge of the court for his father!
The first prince is gentle and apologetic, but he can handle the court affairs with ease, and everything can be handled properly in his hands. This made the ministers in the court very convinced of the grand prince, more praise. Two months have passed, and it has become a matter of course in their hearts to ask the Grand Prince for advice on everything.
And who is the new emperor of Hao Yue, everyone’s heart is also well known. Now all that is missing is the final procedure!
However, I heard that the emperor’s decree to establish a crown prince has been issued. We are waiting for a good day to announce the summons!
Queen’s bedchamber
The empress looked at her son, who was becoming more and more kingly, and was very pleased, sighing: “The palace has been simmering for decades, and now it’s finally going to wait for this day.”
Nangong Ling looked at the empress and said gently, “The past days have made the mother suffer.”
“It’s all in the past, now watching you come this far, my palace is worth any suffering.” The Empress said with emotion.
“In the future, my son will pay proper filial respect to the Empress Mother.”
“My son has a heart, Empress Mother is very happy.” The Empress pressed the corners of her eyes and was moved.
Nangong Ling looked at the Empress’s drooping tears, and a faint color flashed in his eyes.
After wiping her tears, the Empress put away her handkerchief and asked, “Your Majesty’s son, there is something the Empress Mother would like to ask you about.”
“Please speak, Empress Mother?”
“This palace heard that Nangong Min and Gu Qingyuan seem to be very close, is there such a thing?”
“Nangong Min has been getting along with Jue Yu House a lot lately.”
“Really? Surprisingly and Gu Qing Yuan close, it seems that he does not want to help you as a royal brother. So it’s better to put him away earlier! Close to that woman, sooner or later will cause trouble.” The empress frowned with displeasure and said.
“Well, my son has his own way, mother don’t bother.”
“My palace is worried that he is in the way of your business. And, Gu Qingyuan, the emperor is not going to get rid of her? She’s not a worry, especially with that person’s seed in her belly, so it’s better to get rid of her early.”
“Yes! I know, I won’t keep her for long.”
“Your son, if you are not good at it, let mother do it!”
The Queen’s incessant questioning, and that tough attitude, that Nangong Ling’s brow unconsciously wrinkled, this kind of being arranged, instructions, account of the way, he really do not like! No one can arrange how he should do, even his own mother is not allowed.
“Mother has labored for half of her life, enjoy the rest of her life in peace and happiness! Don’t bother your mind and effort for this little thing! If you make the Queen Mother suffer, it will look like my son is too unfilial. Therefore, this matter Queen Mother should leave it alone, my son knows what to do.” Nangong Ling finished speaking, looked at the empress’s astonished eyes, got up, slightly detained salute, followed by striding away.
The Queen’s eyes sank as she watched the back of Nangong Ling’s departure, “Sister Zhang, what do you think His Highness meant by this? The first thing you need to do is to get rid of that woman.
“His Highness is the most filial, how will not have to be bored.” Sister Zhang hurriedly said.
“So, you can’t let go of Gu Qingyuan?” The empress said coldly: “If so, this palace can not keep her.” The Empress said, taking out a jade pendant from her body.
Sister Zhang’s eyes shrank slightly when she saw the jade pendant.
“Sister Zhang, go and summon those people to this palace, this palace wants to use the bloodline left behind by that sinful bastard to do the ceremony of succession for the imperial son on the day of his succession. Congratulate him on his ascension to the throne.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
In the 356th year of Hao Yue, on the 6th day of the 10th month, the Grand Prince Nangong Ling’s succession ceremony’s.
When Gu Qingyuan heard this date, it would be three days later.
I just don’t know if anything will happen in these three days? Is Xiahou Juyue still not back? She is now beginning to be uncertain whether he is really still there, and whether she has misread the code he left for her?
Ten minutes into the evening, Gu Qingyuan looked at the starlight dotting the sky and sighed deeply.
“Who!” The sudden alert sound of Kiri Wanton rang out.
Ling Yun reflexively blocked in front of Gu Qingyuan.
“It’s me!”
“Fifth prince!”
Seeing the person who flew in with his light skills, Qi Xuan stared at him with a frown.
Nangong Min looked at Gu Qingyuan, the smile that had been hanging on his face was gone, and his face was grave: “Jiu Yu House has been blocked by Nangong Ling’s people, so I can’t just come in like this, didn’t scare you!”
“I’m fine, fifth prince but found something?”
“Yes! A strange force has appeared in the palace recently, and, it is the Empress’. I’m worried that she will be against you, so, especially to tell you, you pay more attention. If nothing happens until Nangong Ling succeeds to the throne, you should not even walk around alone, understand?”
“Mm! I know, thanks to the fifth prince to inform.”
“As long as you are well.”
As Nangong Min’s words fell, a voice with a smile came, “When did Fifth Imperial Brother, care so much about Madam Xiahou?”
Hearing this voice, Nangong Min unknowingly blocked in front of Gu Qingyuan. Gu Qingyuan frowned at Nangong Ling who appeared in front of her.
“Why has the eldest royal brother come over at this time?” Nangong Min laughed lightly.
“Some days ago, Mrs. Xiahou suffered some shock, this hall has the time today especially to see if Mrs. Xiahou is okay?” Nangong Ling smiled lightly, “Fifth royal brother at this time to come over to care about Mrs. Xiahou is very surprised this hall! When did fifth royal brother become so sentimental?”
“I was just passing by and casually asked.” Nangong Min naturally said false words.
“Oh …… fifth royal brother is casually interesting.” Nangong Ling said sarcastically.
“Eldest imperial brother overpraised, dare not, dare not!”
Nangong Ling listened, the smile on his face disappeared and said in a cold voice: “Flying Tiger, send the fifth prince away.”
“Yes, my lord!”
“There is no need to bother the eldest imperial brother, my brother will go by himself.” Nangong Min said and turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan and said, “Lady Xiahou, I will come to see you tomorrow.”
Gu Qingyuan nodded and did not say anything, she knew that Nangong Min was saying this to Nangong Ling.
“Fifth royal brother go with confidence! This hall will not do anything to Lady Xiahou. There is no need to potentially warn this hall.” Nangong Ling sneered.
“Oh …… that’s my disciple measuring a gentleman’s belly with the heart of a villain.” Nangong Min finished, looked at Gu Qingyuan a glance, lifted his feet and left. In the moment of brushing shoulders with Nangong Ling, heard Nangong Ling’s few inaudible words of warning. The corners of his mouth overflowed with an indifferent smile!
Let yourself be good? Oh …… he really does not want to.
Nangong Min left, Nangong Ling looked at Gu Qingyuan already out of the belly, eyes flashing sunken cold. Perhaps it really should not stay.
“Gu Qingyuan.”
“Grand prince please call me Lady Xiahou.”
“Gu Qingyuan, this palace likes to be called that way, you shouldn’t have a problem with it.” Nangong Ling said dominantly.
Gu Qingyuan listened to the cold color overflowing in her eyes, “Then Your Highness is free to do as you please! It’s just that this madam really doesn’t like it.”
“Gu Qingyuan, with your intelligence, you should know what is best for you.” Nangong Ling didn’t want to give her another lift and said directly.
“I don’t need to do anything! Everything depends only on your mood, Your Highness! If you are happy, then allow me to live! If you are not happy, then you can kill me right now! All I can do is to listen to God’s fate!” Gu Qingyuan said indifferently.
“No, you have a choice!” Nangong Ling looked at her stomach and faintly said, “If there is no him, this hall can guarantee you a peaceful and worry-free life!”
Hearing Nangong Ling’s words, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes were full of cold, “Your Highness’s promise is no heavier than a hair of my child in this lady’s eyes! Nangong Ling, life and death are up to me, whether you are happy or not is up to you! However, for my mood, your mood, such words are better not to say!”
Looking at Gu Qingyuan’s extremely defensive appearance, Nangong Ling’s eyes sank down, “It seems that Madam Xiahou has already decided.”
“You die, I die, you die, I live.”
“Lady Xiahou said this is a big word!”
“It’s just the truth, I’m sure that Your Highness you will never live longer than me.”
“Is that so? Then we’ll see what happens!”
“I hope there will be no date afterwards!”
When Nangong Ling heard that, his eyes flashed with killing energy!
Gu Qingyuan looked and laughed lightly: “The day of succession is coming soon, Your Highness, you should be more patient,
Although this lady is not a big shot, if something happens at this time, I’m afraid it will postpone the succession ceremony of Your Highness. This is not what Your Majesty wants to see, right?”
“Gu Qingyuan, you really don’t know how to live and die!”
“His Highness is also worse than a beast!” How dare you try to touch the child in your own womb, it is intolerable.
“I hope you won’t regret what you said today.” Nangong Ling face is full of gloomy, hostile!
Gu Qingyuan did not say anything, Xiahou Jueyi must come back, come back to protect her child!
The three days passed very quickly. Both arrived in the blink of an eye.
The day Nangong Ling succeeded to the throne, the capital of Hao Yue was bustling like never before. The imperial palace is even decorated with lights, festive and lively.
The ministers are all celebrating, the emperor is also after more than two months of silence, the first time to the court. The last decree of his imperial career was read out.
The empress also began her preparations to give Nangong Ling that big gift.
Jueyue House
All the dark dao guards formed a circle and surrounded Gu Qingyuan in the center, looking at the guards dressed in the shape of phoenixes in front of them, with a murderous air on their faces.
Phoenix guards, the empress sent to kill her is the dark guards guarding her? Gu Qingyuan looked, hand protecting her stomach, for the first time felt so powerless, how can she protect her child!
Feng Wei face expressionless not to look at the dark guards, eyes just looking at Gu Qingyuan, their character is her!
“Kill!”
A word out, the two sides of the standoff instantly began, evenly matched but Gu Qingyuan is in danger at any time, sword and shadow, how can there be absolute safety!
Bright light flashes, blood splashes, the situation becomes more and more tense. Gu Qingyuan’s body has been stained with blood.
Ling Yun tightly protects Gu Qingyuan, Qi Qi tense look.
And, just when the situation was getting more and more severe, the dragon shadow that had been secretly protecting, but never appeared suddenly appeared.
Because they joined, the situation immediately reversed. Gu Qingyuan’s tense heart was temporarily relieved!
Ling Yun supported Gu Qingyuan and said nervously, “Are you okay, master?”
“Mm! I’m okay!”
“Slave servant will take you away first!”
“Okay!”
Ling Yun held Gu Qing Yuan, hope you leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, there is always between the killings can not take into account, Gu Qing Yuan just take two steps, a strong sword at a very fast speed to Gu Qing Yuan stabbed.
Ling Yun look at this, face slightly changed, the hand longsword without hesitation to meet. However, Ling Yun is not Feng Wei’s opponent, internal force is not enough, was shocked to the ground, see the sword light crossed her to Gu Qingyuan stab.
Ling Yun was horrified, “Master beware ……”
Ling Yun shouted, so that everyone’s heart jolted, Qi Xuan eyes widened, the rapid turn ……
But this stabbed at Gu Qingyuan’s long sword, but suddenly intercepted by a powerful internal force, Feng Wei instantly knocked to the ground.
The first thing you need to do is to look at the long sword that has fallen to the ground and is at your fingertips, Gu Qingyuan’s heart tightens!
“Master ……”
“Master ……”
Ling Yun, Qi Xuan two excited voice in the ears, two people’s name, let Gu Qingyuan heart jumped, raised his head, looking at the man who suddenly descended in front of him, look stunned ……
Xiahou Jueyi looked at the scarlet blood on Gu Qingyuan’s body, the raised stomach, and just now when the sharp sword stabbed, the helplessness of tightly protecting the child, the helplessness of having no one to rely on, the sadness that can only be helplessly endured, that instantly made Xiahou Jueyi’s heart ache and suffocate!
The crisis was all around, and he was not around. And she had to bear the worry and torment of his life and death, and she had to bear the life of the child and protect the child! Her hardships, her wretchedness, her helplessness, her calamities …… are all because of him ……
Xiahou Jueyi who never knew what tears were, never thought in this life that he would have a day of tears. But at this time, suddenly his eyes blurred, his throat was choked, unable to breathe, looking at Gu Qingyuan’s small face that was still scared, Xiahou Jueyi’s voice was dark and shaky: “Yatou ……”
Listening to the familiar voice, looking at the familiar face, the person who is always worried is in front of you, the person whose life or death is not yet determined to be safe. Still the same glittering person and intact back to her side.
Gu Qing Yuan wanted to laugh, but I do not know why tears are unconsciously slipping down, he came back, this is good! It’s really good ……
Xiahou Jueyi looked at the crystal tears on Gu Qingyuan’s cheeks, his heart tightened, flashed to her side, raised his hand, hand; could not restrain the trembling, compassionately wiped away the teardrops on her face, reached out and took her into his arms, his voice was low and slightly trembling, “girl, I’m sorry, I’m late ……”
Smelling the familiar scent, familiar embrace, Gu Qingyuan full of eyes closed, murmuring, “Not late, came back just right, just right ……”
Listening to Gu Qingyuan’s accommodating words, Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes were filled with heavy apologies, and deep moving, “Yatou …… Well ……”
However, the moving words have not yet spoken, it was the sharp pain coming from the chest sucked the breath, but is not moved in the slightest, face raised a doting smile, the person in the arms hugged tighter, this girl still so love to bite!
Ling Yun looked at the two people embracing each other, wiped the tears on his face hard, but his face was full of smiles, the Shizi master is back, this is too good, too good ……
Qi Yi, Ling Fei looked at Gu Qingyuan’s raised belly, looking stunned Shi Zi Fei actually pregnant, the master has an heir ……
Imperial Palace
Nangong Yin sitting on the throne, still looks drowsy, people are also very depressed and unclear appearance.
A group of ministers below, the mood is complicated looking at Nangong Yin next to Nangong Ling, today is about to change the dynasty.
Although the number of Nangong Ling try to suppress the impatience of the heart, but, looking at a dull and dazed Nangong Yin, still can not help but open his mouth, a low voice reminded: “Father, it is time to read the decree.”
Nangong Yin listened to a glance at Nangong Ling, nodded vaguely.
Eunuch Xi on the side hurriedly handed the decree in his hand to Nangong Yin. Just about to open it, but Nangong Yin suddenly spoke, “I will do it myself.”
Eunuch Xi was flabbergasted, but did not dare to disobey and said respectfully, “Yes.”
Nangong Yin trembling open the case on the bright yellow holy decree, unfolded, looking at the words on it, has been drowsy eyes, suddenly flashed a strange bright light!
“In the name of Heaven, I declare that the Hao Yue Dynasty, from now on, is given to my son to preside over, and he is hereby established as the new Emperor of Hao Yue, with the title, Han!” Nangong Yin said and rose, solemnly said: “Proclaim the new emperor to the throne.”
After Nangong Yin’s words, Nangong Ling’s mood surged and excited, he finally waited for this day, after this Haoyue is his world. The new Emperor will be the first one to take the throne.
Nangong Ling bent down to kneel down to thank the grace, but was shocked by the name suddenly read by Nangong Yin.
All the ministers below, is also flabbergasted, the new emperor – Nangong Yi? This is the emperor read the wrong? Or did they hear wrong!
However, all the suspicions when they saw the figure walking into the hall from outside, everyone was dumbfounded! Surprisingly, it was him …… 夏侯玦弈 ……
He is the emperor’s son? He is the new emperor? This is impossible …… This is too shocking and incredible, he is the son of the Earl’s House, how can he be the Emperor’s son, this …… makes people unable to believe, for a moment they also feel unable to accept, and feel more frightened… …
However, the bright yellow of his body that shows his identity, but there is no doubt to declare his identity now, he is the new emperor of Hao Yue, is the future control of their life and death, fate of the person ……
Heart clear at the same time, some things quickly rushed to mind, if Xiahou Jueyi became the master of them all! That …… just thought, the face suddenly changed greatly, all over the body instantly emerged cold sweat, legs are soft, the whole person almost sat down on the ground. This transformation is really too deadly ……
Nangong Ling looked at Xiahou Jueyi who appeared intact in front of him, the happy color on his face had long disappeared without a trace, his face was tense, Xiahou Jueyi did not die, but also appeared here at this last moment, and the father, who looked like he was going to die soon, seemed to be in good spirits at this time, and the holy decree he had prepared long ago, at this time even turned out to be Nangong Jueyi’s name.
What is there not to understand by now? He, the great prince, has been calculated by his own father and Xiahou Juyue Yi, both of whom have joined forces.
Xiahou Jueyi did not appear suddenly at all, but has long been hibernating in the shadows, right? In order to appear at this time today, to give him a headache. Push him to the highest point, and then let watch him fall down hard. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
And his own father, that vain and sick, vague and unconscious appearance, is also made to see it for themselves! It’s just a way to lower your guard! When you think that everything is settled, that you have everything under control, and that you are complacent, they must be secretly laughing at you!
For his own ignorance, for his own foolishness, and for his self-righteousness and self-righteousness. The person who is obviously being played in the palm of the hand, but still feel in control of so, that look in their eyes must be as ridiculous as a jumping clown!
Nangong Ling thought, look more and more ugly, almost want to vomit blood! For the previous foolishness, for the coming misery.
In this place of the palace, a loss is a loss of life! There is no hiding, can also turn over again a say, especially in this fight for the throne, failure is death! miserable and die ……
Nangong Yi step by step slowly step on the place that represents the highest position, the expression does not see a trace of excitement, not to mention not much joy, or as cold as ever, indifferent.
The golden position on top of the hall, that in all eyes represents the highest power, incomparable respect, supremacy, control the fate of millions of people life and death, so that people can only look up, kowtow, awe of the position.
Power, money, sex, sit on it has everything position.
That can make people become devils for it, for its ghost, is the most tempting hearts, and let people willing to live for it to die for it position.
But, this represents the position of everything, in the eyes of this man, does not seem to have much appeal. Why else would the look be so bland and bland!
Perhaps because it has not yet known its beauty! Maybe it’s simply suppressing the cheerfulness of the heart, the cheerfulness!
However, this time is not the time to explore this, or now think about how to save your life is important. The so-called new officials on three fires, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, is certainly to first establish their own prestige, they do not want to be the first to let the new emperor open the knife, used to kill the chicken to make an example of people.
Just, they do not want to be able to avoid it?
Nangong Ling clenched his trembling fist tightly, but his body was shaking uncontrollably, swallowing the scarlet sweetness that welled up in his throat. Look at Xiahou Jueyi sneered: “Xiahou Shizi long time no see, goodbye ah! However, Xiahou Shizi is afraid that it is very inappropriate to wear, right? Bright yellow, that is the color that only royalty can wear, even if you are the son, even if the father favors you, you can’t wear it. Or is it that Xiahou Shizi is blatantly trying to plot rebellion?”
“Now that Father is seriously ill, many times he is somewhat unconscious. Even people sometimes will not recognize, now the Xiahou Shizi do not know who is recognized to do, so casual call, Xiahou Shizi you can not take this on the momentum, to push yourself to this position, you are blatantly plotting rebellion ah!”
“However, seeing Xiahou Shizi, this temple suddenly remembered Xiahou Shizi is also a connoisseur of medical science, for the use of medicine but know a lot! So this temple does not know to suspect. The first thing you need to do is to get the news that you are not dead. Of course, perhaps not out of you, but when the father knew that you died, but suffered a great blow, and because of this, the father who has always been in good health will suddenly fall ill.”
“This matter, I think the entire Haoyue people know, Xiahou Shizi you will have no reason not to know it! After all, you are still alive, aren’t you? But, if you know why didn’t you show yourself? Is this premeditated? You waited for the father to fall ill, and then, in the dark, did something to the father? That’s why father’s body has been how can not be cured.”
Nangong Ling said calendar voice: “Xiahou Juyue all of this is your scheme, right! You want to snatch my Nangong family’s rivers and mountains?” Nangong Ling hostile voice, questioned: “Say, in the end, you gave the father what drugs? What did you use to control the father’s mind?”
Nangong Yi indifferently looked at Nangong Ling who called the apparatus, did not even have the intention to refute! That completely ignored the appearance, so that Nangong Ling heart fire more hot. How do you think you are already an emperor now? So you can completely ignore it?
Nangong Yin coldly looked at Nangong Ling and said soberly: “Nangong Ling, are you still dying now?”
Hearing Nangong Yin’s words, Nangong Ling’s heart was full of condensed gas, but his face was full of worry and anxiety, “Father, it seems that you are really controlled by Xiahou Juyi.” Nangong Ling said gruffly, “Father, he is Xiahou Jueyin, he is not our royal person, much less your son, he is now controlling you with the intention of taking over the rivers and mountains of my Nangong family.”
“Father, you can no longer be confused by him, otherwise, our Nangong family’s rivers and mountains will really fall into the hands of foreigners, Father, but you must wake up! Father, giving up the Nangong family’s rivers and mountains to others, this is really degrading to father’s wisdom name, when father comes to his senses, will certainly be difficult to bear.”
Listening to Nangong Ling that word true, every word true, heartbroken look, Nangong Yin sneered: “Nangong Ling, I am sober. More than that, I have never been confused. The things you have done these days, I have seen everything in my eyes, and even more remembered in my heart.”
“But you, if you forget, do not remember, I can take those good things you did, all out to the people, to the people of the world to see, let them all know, you good son, how the regicide of the father to seize the throne, is how the joint foreign people, intercepted the new emperor.”
Nangong Yin words out, the following ministers heart is a shock. Royal matters, they see not much, know not much, but very clear inside that cruelty, bloody. Just now spread out to say, still can not help but let people shocked.
Fathericide? This is really in front of this gentle as a jade prince did it?
Nangong Ling listened, but his expression did not change much, only more sorrowful said: “Father son knows that you are controlled by Xiahou Jueyi, said the words are not your original intention, my son will not take it seriously.”
Nangong Ling said and looked at Xiahou Jueyi, and said with deep anger: “Xiahou Jueyi you are really too ruthless, presumptuous father used to be so trusting and favored you, but I did not expect you to be such a wolf and ambitious person. Control the father, and now even want to use the father’s delirium to give me a charge of patricide, want to make the world hard to tolerate, so as to get rid of me as a threat in name? You want to get rid of all the people of the Nangong royal family in one fell swoop, right? So that you can sit on the throne with peace of mind and no worries!”
“Xiahou Jueyi’s planning is really thorough, the calculation is really seamless! However, I won’t let you have your way, and I won’t let you take over my Nangong family’s kingdom.” Nangong Ling threw his voice, his face with the determination to never compromise, looked at the ministers below and said loudly, “Ministers, there are people who intend to seize my Hao Yue rivers and mountains, and their intentions are poisonous and vicious! Now is the time for you to stand up for Hao Yue and protect my Hao Yue rivers and mountains.”
“A person who is not from my royal family, but wants to inherit my Hao’s rivers and mountains as a matter of course, if we let him succeed, it will be a real disgrace to my Nangong family, and also to all of you, my lords! I think you all don’t want to see such a thing happen. Can you tolerate having someone of Xiahou’s nature as the emperor of Hao Yue? Do you think it is good for Hao Yue to have such a cold-blooded person to succeed Hao Yue? Is it also good for all of you?”
Nangong Ling’s last sentence was very meaningful, with some kind of warning meaning obvious.
The one standing in the hall is not a human being, how can they not understand Nangong Ling’s meaning! If Xiahou Jueyi really succeeded the throne smoothly. If Xiahou Jueyi really succeeds the throne successfully, it will not be a good thing for those of them who used to help Nangong Ling. Not to mention that their family members also helped the First Prince Consort to provoke the Earl’s House and humiliate Gu Qingyuan.
With Xiahou Jueyi’s favor to Gu Qingyuan, now that he is back, how will he let them go. The Wei family that disappeared is the best example. They don’t want to be exterminated, and they don’t want to die.
A part of the ministers thought, their expressions changed, should we bet again? Is the emperor really sober? It is a fact that Xiahou Jueyi is an expert in using medicine, perhaps the emperor is really controlled by Xiahou Jueyi? Moreover, is Xiahou Jueyi really the emperor’s son? How can this be proven? If there is no strong evidence, it is unacceptable to have a royal heir.
Thinking about this, some people have already stood up, the first to stand out is the Hong family.
“Your Majesty, the royal heir is not allowed to be mixed up, let alone just let a person who is not in the right name, inherit my Hao Yue’s rivers and mountains ah! Therefore, if Your Majesty wants Xiahou Shizi to inherit, please give me a basis, a basis to convince us.” Hong Hai said, kneeling down to Nangong Yin, “Your Majesty, please take Haoyue’s rivers and mountains as your priority! Don’t be blinded by Xiahou Jueyi!”
See Hong Hai stand out, those who were still hesitant, also can’t help but follow and stand out, kneel down, said in unison: “Please be cautious, Your Majesty, think twice!”
Nangong Yin looked at the kneeling courtiers and said in a cold voice: “I have not yet abdicated, these courtiers have already recognized the new master. With my gift of power and prestige, but secretly has allegiance to others, really deserve to be the total heart of my good ministers ah!”
Nangong Yin words out, let the heart a tremor.
This stop is not allowed by the emperor? In this case, they really have no way back, even if Xiahou Juengyi can not succeed the throne, the emperor will also abolish them first, right! It is true that they are still too calm, do they really want to do something extreme and let go?
But what can they do with just them? It is destined to die, thinking of the bloody result, kneeling on the ground began to tremble lightly, cold sweat dripping. Today is destined to be their death?
Nangong Ling looked at the few ministers below who asked for blue and white staggering, hurriedly said: “Father, my son thinks they are not wrong, they also want a clear, let Xiahou Juyi to inherit my Hao Yue’s rivers and mountains, always give a statement?”
“Good! Since you want it, then I will give it to you.” Nangong Yin’s face was just cold as he said.
“Dragon Shadow.”
Nangong Yin opened his mouth, and one person flashed in front of the crowd, “Master.”
“Go get the royal family tree.”
“Yes.”
“Eunuch Xi.”
“Old slave is here.”
“Declare that the old marquis of the Earl’s House, the fifth prince Nangong Min, has an audience.”
Nangong Yin ordered, and Eunuch Xi shouted loudly, “His Majesty has decreed that the old Marquis of the Earl’s House and the fifth prince be declared to have an audience in the hall.”
When the eunuch’s voice fell, the old marquis and Nangong Min appeared in the main hall, bent over, and knelt down, “The old minister (son) kowtows to the emperor (father).”
“Stand flat.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty (Father).”
The two rose, Nangong Yin spoke: “Xiahou Haji, you raised the new emperor for more than twenty years, what is the reason for this you are very clear, today, tell all the ministers!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The old marquis took orders and said with a straight face, “I was ordered by the late empress and the emperor to raise the new emperor. The reason is that the new emperor’s mother died early, the empress dowager pity the new emperor is young, without support, and feel that no one in the palace can take good care of a young grandson, so ordered me to come down to raise the new emperor. The Empress Dowager’s order was to wait until the new emperor grew up and returned to the royal family, but the world is unpredictable, the twists and turns, so the new emperor will only be delayed until today to recognize the ancestors.”
“Your Majesty, I have not seen the empress’ edict, and I have not seen such a concubine on the emperor’s side, so it is difficult to believe such empty words!” Hong Hai said.
“The empress dowager’s edict will let you see it later. As for the new emperor’s mother consort, has entered the royal genealogy, only because she is weak, did not dare to announce the world too early, just waiting for the fortune to pass, then announced! But in the end she still failed to survive.” Nangong Yin said heavily.
Nangong Yin words out, the courtiers distracted, is there really that person exists?
Nangong Ling’s face became more and more ugly, it seems that they have been laying this bureau for more than twenty years for today. If everything exists, then it means that Xiahou Jueyi is the long-determined crown prince, and he is just a joke.
Nangong Min opened his mouth at this time, looked at the person on the top seat, his face was heavy and complicated: “Eldest brother, the new emperor is our hand and foot, didn’t you already know this fact a long time ago? Now why do you still know, but pretend not to know the root of the matter to hinder the new emperor’s ascension to the throne?”
“Does the eldest brother have to go to this extent for the sake of the resentment in your heart? The new emperor’s bloodline has not yet been born. Is that position really that important in your heart? In order to sit on it, you have to go out of your way to kill all the people then?”
Nangong Min was pained and looked heavily at Nangong Ling and said, “Eldest Imperial Brother, is it really worth it?”
When Nangong Min’s words came out, the faces of all the ministers changed. Nangong Ling’s especially ugly, fierce look at Nangong Min, really should not keep him, should have gotten rid of him earlier.
This is the final confrontation, but can not change the long-set ending. Xiahou Jueyi face indifferent listening to those facts but not the words, eyes tightly looking at the person in the soft palanquin not far outside the main hall, so want to hug her ……
Outside the main hall, Gu Qingyuan quietly sat in the soft palanquin, looking at the man standing on the main hall – her husband! He is about to become the most honored person in this Hao Yue, he is about to stand at the highest place, she should feel honored, should feel happy for the esteem she is about to get because of him.
In this ancient dynasty, she, a crossover girl, has become the most honored woman here, worshipped by millions of people, with supreme power, enjoying endless glory, endless riches. As long as there is in this world, as long as she wants, perhaps it is possible to get.
She should be on the highest point of her life! A life of such a life should be what everyone aspires to, right? Otherwise, there will not be so many people for the supreme wealth, power and power to fight for the blood, for the power, money and even life do not want.
And she does not also like those yellow and white things? In the future, she will have a lot of those yellow and white things, she should be happy. Yes! Why not?
Gu Qingyuan thought, the corners of his mouth spilled a faint smile, only she may not have the opportunity to spend those yellow and white things, because I’m afraid no one dares to accept it! Oh …… eat bully meals don’t have to pay, pretty good isn’t it?
And, Xiahou Jueyi will probably become the emperor of Hao Yue, this is what she had predicted at the very beginning, and now that it has come true, she should be happy and proud of her precognitive ability! But why is she so lost now, why does she always feel that she has lost something important and can never come back to something ……
Gu Qingyuan lowered his eyes, lost what is it? Is this head four-sided sky, feet four pieces of land, is this gold, silver and emerald house other than things? The free and unfettered freedom to travel in all directions?
Gu Qingyuan thought, sigh, people should not be so greedy, fish and bear’s paw can not be both, have the best, always have to lose some, should not be greedy, should not, she should be able to adapt, after all, this is not difficult, should be very easy, anyway, she is not a diligent person, lazy stay in a place, also she likes, she will get used to it, she will ……
Ling Yun, Ling Fei, Qi Qi, Qi Yi several people guarded Gu Qingyuan’s side, all with smiles on their faces, eyes full of pride, pride, really that position is still their master’s. Only their master is suitable to sit in that position.
Ling Yun, with a smile on her face, turned her head to look at Gu Qingyuan, expecting to see Gu Qingyuan looking the same as them, perhaps even happier than they were. However, to her surprise, she actually saw Gu Qingyuan’s despondent look.
Ling Yun’s smile faded, her eyes tinged with worry, leaning down, whispering: “Master, is it that you are not feeling well?”
Ling Yun’s words came out, Qi Xuan, Qi Yi and Ling Fei hurriedly lowered their heads and looked at Gu Qingyuan nervously.
“Master, where is not comfortable?”
“Slave servant will take your pulse.”
Looking at their nervous looks and listening to their concerned words, Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes, shook her head, and smiled lightly, “No, I’m fine, just a little tired.”
Hearing this, the four people breathed a sigh of relief, the master now pregnant, plus so many things happened, will feel tired is certain.
“Master, do you want to go back?” Ling Yun said softly.
“Wait a little longer!” Gu Qingyuan looked inside the hall, as if the atmosphere was getting more and more turbulent, it should be almost over!
The empress dowager’s edict is in, the genealogy has Nangong Yi, and a woman’s name, Lin Rou! Name – the imperial son consort! This should be the title of the emperor when he was still a prince!
In this way, Xiahou Jueyi is really the crown prince of Hao Yue in name only, and is the rightful heir ……
The ministers looked at the precious genealogy in their hands, the sweat on their heads was like rain, and they only had one feeling in their hearts, the royal secret matter killed people, killed people!
Nangong Yin looked at the ministers’ ashen faces, his face raised a smile, Zoë! Do you see? Our son is going to sit in my position, and you, I can also be announced too, you are my empress, I think the empress ……
Grand prince’s residence
Hong Xin eyes full of hostility looked at the dark guard in front of him, his face was white, unable to believe roared: “What did you just say, you …… you say it again, say it again ……”
“Imperial consort, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, but not the master, it is Xiahou Jueyi, not Nangong Yi.” Fei Hu’s face was full of bitterness, perhaps he did not even need to say this to Hong Xin, but at this time, in addition to her, he did not know who to say to.
“Nangong Yi? You’re talking about Xiahou Jueyi? Isn’t he dead? Moreover, he is only the world’s son, how can he inherit the throne, what the hell is going on here?” Hong Xin hissed.
“He didn’t die, moreover, he became the son of the emperor, the current emperor, we were counted by him.” Flying Shadow was powerless and said with despair.
“This is impossible, this is impossible ……” Hong Xin shook her head vigorously, unable to accept, Xiahou Jueyi succeeded to the throne means to her what, do not need to look deep can think of, that is death, or shall not die ……
Hong Xin thought, suddenly laughed madly, the heavens are so good to her, after she received a series of blows, at the last moment to give her such a play, hahahahaha …… really ridiculous, really sad ……
the imperial palace
The fatal change in the palace, when it reached Hong Xin’s ears, the empress was also all clear without missing a beat.
Sister Zhang stood on one side looking at the chaos of everything in the hall, can be smashed have been smashed by the Queen, can be thrown have been dropped. The empress is about to go crazy, Sister Zhang looked at the hair scattered, look like a severe ghost of the empress, the heart overflowed with sadness and bitterness, who could have imagined that the final result is such a result! The one who was thought to be dead did not die, and the one who was expected to finally get what she wanted was facing destruction.
She, the Queen’s sidekick, could not escape and was not far from death.
The Palace of the Sidekick
The first princess sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, the joyful color of the morning waiting for Nangong Ling to succeed the throne had long disappeared, and the rest was only full of horror and chagrin.
Xiahou Jueyi is the imperial son, which is not in conflict with her at all, but on the contrary, is her biggest reliance. Unfortunately, she was foolish enough to face him.
Xiahou Jueyi succeeded to the throne, and the first decree was to seal the queen, and Gu Qingyuan became the supreme honored person. And she, the person who repeatedly calculates Gu Qingyuan, can imagine how it will be.
The actual fact is, there are no absolutes in the world, everything is unpredictable, she will eventually die in her calculations, greed above.
Gu Qingyuan blurred feeling that someone held her in his arms, and then the lips printed a touch of warmth, with pity, thoughtful lightly kissed her, smelling the familiar breath, Gu Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan open his eyes, the person who kissed him lightly, suddenly turned dominant, eager, wanting to devour like force, a moment, Gu Qingyuan began to some discomfort, reached out, pushing away the passionate man like fire.
Nangong Jueyi slightly backed away a bit, look at Gu Qingyuan’s red cheeks, rapid panting, forehead against Gu Qingyuan’s forehead, low laughter overflowed out of the throat, voice dark: “Niangzi is shy?”
“It’s that husband’s technique is getting worse and worse, almost smothered.”
Listening to Gu Qingyuan’s familiar provocative voice, the smile on Nangong Jueyi’s face expanded, the maiden is really still his maiden, even if his identity has changed, but in her eyes, it is still the same, this is really good.
Nangong Juyue lowered his head and lightly kissed Gu Qingyuan on the lips, and lightly smiled: “In the future, I will practice more for my husband.”
Gu Qingyuan heard a soft smile and reached out to push away Nangong Jueyue, “All done?”
“Mmm! It’s all good.” Nangong Jueyi casually responded, looked down at Gu Qingyuan’s stomach, raised his eyes, his eyes tinged with guilt, “Girl, let you suffer.”
“It’s okay, they are very well behaved.” Gu Qingyuan stroked her belly, her face filled with a soft smile.
Nangong Jueyi looked at the soft smile filled with warmth on Gu Qingyuan’s face, his brow unconsciously wrinkled, and his heart overflowed with a sour taste that even he himself found incomprehensible and childish.
Can’t see each other for that period of time, because of nostalgia, he will unconsciously think, after seeing him, his girl will how …… how …… he hypothetically thought a lot how! But now, and how he thought, there is too much difference. His mother’s heart seems to have a more important person than him, although it is his own child, but Nangong Juyue Yi still feels sour in his heart!
Nangong Jueyi thought, the sour taste rose to his throat, did not hold back and spoke: “Girl, you like children very much?”
Gu Qingyuan listened and nodded, “Mm! Like it very much!”
“Is that so?”
Hearing an inexplicable flavor between Nangong Jueyi’s words, Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes, looking at his mouth pursed, her eyebrows unconsciously frowned, “Husband doesn’t like it?”
“Like it!” If his mother likes them, will not win over him, he will like.
Completely not go away answer, let Gu Qing Yuan face light smile hidden, look down at the stomach, faintly said: “I hope you can love them.”
“Yatou ……” Nangong Jueyi looked at Gu Qingyuan’s despondent look, chagrin flashed on his eyes, “Yatou, I don’t dislike them, I just ……”
“Nangong Jueyi ……”
“Uh ……”
“They have suffered a lot these days because of this bastard father of yours, and they even almost lost their lives, so you are not qualified to treat them like this. They already have an unqualified mother, do they need another father who can’t love them with all his heart.”
“Yatou ……”
Gu Qingyuan said with some excitement, “Nangong Jueyue, do you know that they have suffered a lot, I obviously know how to do what is best for them, but I have not done it once. I think about calculating, scheming, killing, worrying about your safety, sometimes I even forget about their existence, I never think about them wholeheartedly for a day. So, they can now stay in my belly and grow up peacefully, I am very grateful to them.”
“Nangong Jueyi, children can’t be spoiled, but they are definitely not for abuse either, they are innocent, you …… Well ……”
Before Gu Qingyuan finished her words, she was sealed with a kiss by Nangong Jueyue, with full of apologies, but Gu Qingyuan was unable to feel it and bit down fiercely ……
For the restlessness she suppressed these days, for the child she owed, for Nangong Jueyi’s bastard ……
The new emperor of Haoyue ascended to the throne, the people of Haoyue are also showing a kind of novel excitement, within the capital, the crowd is surging, lively and extraordinary, although not unrestrained, loudly talking about the topic of succession.
However, the new emperor succeeded to the throne! They can’t help but have some new expectations in their hearts. Can not help but still in small groups whispering, inexplicably happy, looking forward to, the new emperor can bring them a better life for the people, can give them some benefits.
At six o’clock, the new emperor’s edict came down, and it quickly spread out in every corner of the capital, the universal celebration, the amnesty of the world, but more is shocked, the new emperor is actually not the great prince Nangong Ling they so, but Nangong Jue Yi. Nangong Jueyi? Who is this? Is there such a prince in the royal family?
But, Jueyi! Isn’t this the name of the Earl of Xiahou’s son? The new emperor’s name immediately stirred up a thousand waves, so that this originally cheerful atmosphere, instantly turned into suspicion, shock, the whole capital suddenly because of this shocking change and boiling.
And while the whole capital was boiling, a story about the new emperor’s difficult life also spread. The new emperor added a dash of legend to the Hao Yue.
Although the sudden change made the people shocked, however, it was not difficult for them to accept. For one thing, Xiahou Jueyi’s identity was already noble, and for another, Xiahou Jueyi himself was originally an unattainable type in their hearts, and such a person, who was feared and could only be admired, had become their new emperor. Apart from their amazement, surprise and curiosity, they did not have a sense of difficulty in accepting it.
The throne is set, but the new emperor did not stay in the palace, but returned to the original residence.
Qi Qi, Qi Yi, Ling Yun and Ling Fei were guarding Gu Qingyuan and Nangong Jueyue’s house not far away. All things are finally settled, the four people’s faces are all with a relaxed light smile.
The fox-like smile that had not appeared on his face for a long time returned to his face again. The master has finally come to the bitter end, there is the emperor in, no one dares to bully the master again a point. And, once those people who have humiliated and presumed to plot against the master, will definitely pay the price.
The master has been worried about the emperor for so long, and now he can finally put his heart down. The two masters don’t know what they are doing at this time. The emperor is appeasing, telling apologies? Or is the master talking about worry, thinking about …… However, no matter what, today is destined to be a good day of reunion, celebration.
The qi肆 is thinking, suddenly and unexpectedly saw the emperor unexpectedly walked out of the house, the footsteps even with a hint of panic, the look with an unconcealed chagrin, frustration, heartache, anger, etc., the face is very complex. However, at the sight of that smear of blood on the lips of the emperor, the qi want eyes slightly shrunk, the first feeling is stealing incense was bitten.
However, the simple theft of incense and jade should not be bitten to the extent of seeing blood! Isn’t …… thinking about this, qi肆 sprinted up to the front, walked to nangong jue yi’s side, respectfully saluted, however, the words that came out was to make ling fei, qi a mouth crooked a little.
“Your Majesty, the master is she okay?”
Nangong Jueyi listened to the words, his eyebrows lightly raised, it seems that in this period of his absence, not only, he is not the most important in her mother’s heart, or in the hearts of his subordinates, he is also not the most important one.
The emperor’s expression was inexplicable, and he said, “Is he stupid to ask the empress if she is well?
The first one was thinking, and then saw Ling Yun also walked towards the emperor. Up, respectfully bowed, however, the words that came out, so that Qi Yi no longer know how to react.
Ling Yun looked at Nangong Jueyi in awe, respectful but with a touch of light blame, “Your Majesty, now the master is physically inconvenienced, so please be patient in all things, Your Majesty.” After saying that, when Nangong Jueyi looked over, holding back the fear in his heart, he said, “Slave servant went to see the master.” Finished, brisk steps towards the house.
Looking at Ling Yun’s back, Nangong Jueyi rubbed his brow, should he be happy that they were so protective of the maid? Or should he feel annoyed that his prestige has become so vain?
Qi Xuan looked at Nangong Jueyi, with an uncertain look, and respectfully said: “Your Majesty, it might be a bit disrespectful for my subordinates to say this. However, I still want to say one thing.” Qi Chuan solemnly and heavily said: “In the absence of the emperor in this period of time, the master has suffered a lot, the hardships of which even subordinates can not hold up, but the master she for the emperor, for the little master have carried over. So, please, Your Majesty can tolerate the master a little more, do not let her sad.”
Qi肆 finished, lowered his eyes, a few inaudible said: “Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the master.”
Although the voice of Qi Xuan was small, but Nangong Jueyi still heard it clearly, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.
“Master, don’t you want to take a rest?”
“Just slept for a while, want to go out for a walk.”
The dialogue sound came, and Qi Qi retired to the side respectfully. Nangong Juyue collected the expression on his face, turned his head, looked at Ling Yun lightly supported Gu Qingyuan to walk out, without hesitation, lifted his foot to go forward, softly said: “I will accompany you.”
Gu Qingyuan listened and raised her eyes, looked at the blood on Nangong Juyue’s lips, silent for a moment, raised her hand to wipe it away for him, saw the joy spreading in the man’s eyes because of her action. Gu Qingyuan’s heart was sore, but she shook her head gently and refused, “I want to go see my grandfather, you’re also tired, take a rest first! I’ll be back later.”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Nangong Juyue’s eyes darkened for a moment, but he didn’t say much and nodded his head, “Good!”
Seeing that Nangong Jueyue should, the corner of Gu Qingyuan’s mouth raised a faint smile and turned her head to look at Qi Qi and said, “Qi Qi.”
“Master.”
“Go get the wine that grandfather likes to drink, and have the kitchen make some dishes that grandfather likes to eat and send them over later.”
“Yes, I’ll go now.” Qi Xuan led the order and left.
Gu Qingyuan smiled faintly at Nangong Juyue and was supported by Ling Yun to go to the old marquis’ courtyard.
Nangong Jueyue stood in the same place, looking at Gu Qingyuan’s still thin back, his brow wrinkled and his eyes tightened! Why do you suddenly feel very uneasy in your heart? That feeling of being near but unreachable has once again returned to Nangong Jueyue’s heart ……
Imperial Palace
Showa Palace
Since the new emperor was set and ascended to the throne, the palace was dressed up in a festive manner, but secretly it was dead silent and quiet.
Wei Guifei looked uncertain, her face was blue and white, her eyes seemed happy or sad, like emotion, like mockery!
Silent for a long time, looked up at sitting opposite, look light Nangong Min, open, voice stay a touch of fluttering, bitter, “Miner, is what you say is true? Xiahou Jueyi he is really the emperor’s son? Is it the new emperor that was decided long ago?”
Nangong Min nodded, “Mother Consort at this time, there is nothing more to doubt. The emperor is naturally the son of the father, and, now is already the emperor of this Hao Yue.”
Hearing this, Guifei Wei suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter full of mockery, “Hahaha …… the crown prince has long been set. The funny thing is that we are still fighting here, for that position to dig out the heart to plan, calculate, fight, you guard me, I guard you, for a little bit of complacency will be proud, for a moment of defeat will hate gnashing teeth. Think about it is really ridiculous, ridiculous ah! ……”
Nangong Min listened without speaking, but his heart is very transparent, if the mother consort and Nangong night they do not fight, it may be difficult to live at all until now. The father kept them, spoiled them is to use them to hold back the empress and Nangong Ling.
It is also a mutual check, that is, they want them to fight, that way is in line with the rules of the palace, only normal. At the same time, it can also better protect the new emperor.
Nangong Min thought, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a faint smile, it seems that the father had spent a lot of thought for the new emperor. The new king is a loving father, but it’s a pity that such a rare father’s love has nothing to do with him.
She is not a fool, what is there not to understand by now! What favor, but the emperor’s pawn! She is, and so is her son.
When she is needed, she will be favored, and when she is not needed, a decree will ask her to be buried with him. Her son, because he offended Xiahou Jueyi, was cruelly killed by Xiahou Jueyi. Her mother’s family was exterminated because they had offended Xiahou Jueyi.
The emperor never said a word, and never showed a single point of intolerance, this is the emperor, this is the man who once favored her into the sky, this is her son’s father, the emperor’s heart is difficult to measure, but also enough ruthless. The same is his son, but can be eccentric to this, it is difficult to let the heart.
However, it is also her own brainlessness, seeing the emperor so favorable to Xiahou Jueyi, but never suspected other possibilities. In such a dark, sordid place as the imperial palace, nothing is impossible. She should have noticed it earlier, then perhaps she wouldn’t have made it this far.
However, compared to her, the Empress seems to be more miserable, although we haven’t seen any action from Xiahou Jueyi yet, but with that man’s ruthless, cold-hearted methods! For her to send people to slaughter Gu Qingyuan and her children, she is destined to live worse than death until she dies a horrible death! And her son, the son who almost sat on the throne. I am afraid that her son, the son who almost sat on the throne, had intercepted and killed Xiahou Jueyi, and I am afraid that he would not end up any better.
When she thought about it, Wei Guifei was suddenly balanced, and a feeling of pleasure emerged in her heart. The empress, thinking that everything is settled, began to be arrogant, and began to plan to destroy her daughter, now well, it is her own death first, hahaha …… really retribution ……
Nangong Min looked at Wei Guifei’s changing face, Nangong Min could more or less guess what she was thinking. However, that is no longer important.
Nangong Min got up and said lightly: “Mother Consort, still stay here as well as the other day, do not say much, and do not do anything. More importantly, remember from this moment, that man is now our master, is in control of our life and death, can decide everything, do not try to provoke, and do not think that you can play any mind under his nose, that will not be good for you, understand?”
Wei Guifei listened, mouth tightly pursed, “the fifth prince is adapted fast enough, so quickly identified.”
Nangong Min listened to Wei Guifei’s words with a hint of unwillingness, his eyebrows lightly frowned, “Mother Consort, if you still have this kind of thinking now, then there is not much more that my son can do for you.”
At these words, Wei Guifei’s face stiffened, how could he not be clear about Nangong Min’s potential meaning. There is not much that can be done for her because she won’t live much longer!
“Mother Consort, if you want to live, just do it for good!”
“Even if I listen to you, that will come down alive? The past is there, the new emperor how he will let me go.” Wei Guifei said with a bitter smile.
“There are no absolutes in the world, as long as you recognize your master, there may be a chance of survival.” Nangong Min’s voice was low and his expression was unpredictable.
Wei Guifei listened to a slight flash in her eyes, “Miner, are you saying that we might survive?”
Nangong Min listened to the smear of expectation between Wei Guifei’s words, lowered his eyes, and faintly said, “Pray!”
Nangong Min said, turned and walked out, Wei Guifei looked at Nangong Min’s back, suddenly felt very regretful, at the beginning, if she had made up her mind to cultivate this son, would the result have been any different?
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not only in the market, but also in the marketplace. The company has been outside, as if nothing involved, nothing involved, see him so, Wei Guifei feel that he is not ambitious enough, so will give up him and full training Nangong night.
But now it seems that she obviously chose wrong, a person with the world, not interested in anything, definitely not at the last moment, but became the biggest help to help the new emperor ascend the throne.
I only hope that with the help of Nangong Min, can survive.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the old marquis sitting alone on the edge of the pond, paused and looked at the silent back of the old marquis that could not be concealed in any way. A faint sorrow crossed in his eyes. Xiahou Jueyi turned into Nangong Jueyi to ascend to the throne as emperor, in this universal celebration, everyone rejoices, perhaps, only himself and the old marquis feel an inexplicable loss!
Gu Qingyuan sighed long in his heart and lifted his feet to walk towards the old marquis.
“Grandfather!”
Dazed, the old marquis heard a voice ringing in his ears, turned his head, saw Gu Qingyuan standing beside him, and hurriedly got up, “My old servant has seen the Empress Dowager.” Said, wanting to bend down and salute, he was stopped by Gu Qingyuan.
“Grandfather ……”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s address, looking up, seeing Gu Qingyuan’s watery eyes, the old marquis’s eyes tightened and sighed, “Your status is different now, some rules must be spoken.” The old marquis said, eyes overflowing with heaviness, “Moreover, the old minister is not your grandfather, grandfather a name is also more inappropriate, let people hear is not good for you.”
“There are already too many rules in the world, if even kinship is erased because of it, then simply do not want it! Grandpa, I like to hear you call me Qing Ya. And you, you are my grandfather, this is the rule in my heart, this is who you are.” Gu Qingyuan had tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled a little!
Xiahou Jueyi called the emperor, why did she repeatedly feel that she had lost a lot. Why does she feel so uncomfortable, she wants to laugh, but she can’t help but want to cry. Is it because of pregnancy so special sadness?
The old marquis’s eyes are also a little swollen.
Gu Qingyuan raised her hand to wipe away the teardrops on her face, “Grandpa, go sit in the small pavilion over there! I asked Qi Qi to bring the flower diao you love to drink, today granddaughter accompany you to have a drink.”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan call herself granddaughter, and no longer a grandson-in-law. The old marquis’s heart burned, yes! Once the grandson is already the emperor, how can he no longer be a grandfather! That would be a big disrespect, the emperor would also be very difficult to tolerate, now, he is the grandfather of the empress, so perhaps it is better, the emperor will also accept it!
The two of them went to the small pavilion, where the food and wine were already prepared.
Gu Qingyuan and the old marquis sat opposite each other. Gu Qingyuan personally poured the wine for the old marquis, and then picked up the cup in front of himself, raised it, and said with a light smile, “Granddaughter can not drink, so I will toast grandfather with tea instead of wine, wishing grandfather good health and long life of happiness.”
The old marquis looked at Gu Qingyuan eyes overflowed with a touch, and gratitude, the heart that extreme sourness faded a lot. Raise a cup, “Good …… also wish the emperor ……” said the old marquis paused, “also wish Qing girl, good health! “
Hearing the marquis address, Gu Qingyuan smile open, “Grandfather, cheers.”
“Cheers!”
Qi肆, Ling Yun looked at Gu Qingyuan and the old Marquis, an old man and a young man, ready to drink happily, his eyes were full of helplessness. By virtue of the master’s current status, this is very out of order, but looking at it makes people feel that warm!
“Grandpa, eat your food!”
“Good.” The old marquis picked up the chopsticks, looked at the meal on the table, and lightly smiled: “All are my favorite food! Qing girl took the trouble.”
“It’s no trouble, just an order. Grandfather said so, granddaughter can really sweat.”
The old marquis smiled at that, at this time can give him a glass of wine, call a grandfather, is the biggest have a heart. The old marquis drank his cup of wine in one gulp and spoke, “Is the emperor busy?”
“He is not busy.” Gu Qingyuan finished, saw a flash of loss on the old marquis’s face, Gu Qingyuan understood why, but as if he did not see anything, casually, naturally said, “He wanted to follow over, however, was rejected by the granddaughter.”
Gu Qingyuan said, lowered her voice and whispered: “Grandfather also knows, that person is too small-minded, and the rules are particularly many, but also loves to manage the east and west, with him in, grandfather’s wine will be dangerous, and, granddaughter also do not want ear pain, so, do not want him to follow.”
The old marquis couldn’t help but laugh away at this, and following Gu Qingyuan’s example, he whispered, “The emperor is very unhappy, isn’t he!”
“Yes, the face is very black! However, but to save face did not say anything.” Gu Qingyuan said deflating her mouth in disgust, “Typical death to face and live to suffer.”
“Qing girl, this is said, the emperor is afraid that will be even more unhappy.”
“He is often unhappy, and, perhaps, is now secretly watching us somewhere, wanting to come over and reprimand us for a meal, but can’t let go of his face. After all, he’s an unpopular person right now.”
The old marquis listened and didn’t know what to say, her husband became the emperor, she seemed completely unimpressed, not even seeing joy, there was a faint silence in her body as well as his. She, do not like Jueyi become the emperor?
The old marquis some do not understand, he is because he raised Jueyi for decades, the feelings in his heart is difficult to part with, so, to him as emperor only feel some loss.
But Qing’er is different, Jue Yi is called the emperor, but still her husband, her is the identity followed by becoming the highest respect, she has no reason to be unhappy. But why but no joy! Just some questions, even if there are doubts in the heart, but can not ask.
And some words, Gu Qing Yuan also do not want to say, said in addition to make that man unhappy, nothing can change.
“Grandpa eat the food, it will get cold later.”
“Good.”
“The weather is getting cooler and cooler, soon it will be winter!”
“Soon.”
“It must be very cold this winter.”
“It’s all about the same.”
Gu Qingyuan and the old marquis ate their meals and talked casually, a kind of bland warmth.
And, Gu Qingyuan just said so casually, but completely right, a certain careful-eyed man, and really not far away quietly watching. Although really as Gu Qingyuan said, the face is very unpleasant, but, the eyes but not a trace of annoyance, but full of doting! This girl, still so unrestrained, dislikes him, provokes him, no pressure!
Qi Yi looked at the light smile on Nangong Jueyi’s face and said softly, “Master, do you want to go over?”
Nangong Jueyue shook his head, raised his hand and lightly stroked his still somewhat tingling lips, and helplessly said, “No, save that girl from being upset again.”
Qi Yi heard a naive smile, secretly said: even if the master became the emperor, still as before so loving the empress, but, some fear of the wife of the emperor, the master is afraid of the first!
“Kirichi.”
“My Lord!”
“Go get Shadow One and go to the study room me.”
“Yes!” Qi Yi led the order and disappeared in a flash.
Nangong Jueyi turned his head and looked at Ling Fei on one side and said, “The weather is a bit cold, go get the empress a big robe over there, don’t let her catch a cold.”
“Yes, master.” Ling Fei received the order and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Nangong Jueyi turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan, saw her smiling and laughing with the old marquis, sighed, this girl really dislikes him, dislikes completely! The heartless girl ……
inside the study
Nangong Jueyi listened to Ying Yi’s narrative, his narrow eyes were stormy and dark, killing intent surfaced, and bloodthirsty Qi spread. After a long silence, he opened his mouth, “Ying Yi.”
“Master!”
“Order the shadow guards to roam around the capital and make those who have disrespected the empress see some blood.”
“Yes, master.” Shadow One responded solemnly, and it was finally their turn to sell.
“Remember, don’t get them killed.”
“My subordinates understand!”
“Go!”
“Yes!”
Shadow One left, Nangong Jueyi got up and walked out of the study, walked outside, looked up at the night sky that had darkened, a demonic color crossed his eyes, night fell, blood spread, dare to touch his maid, unforgivable ……
Nangong Jueyi returned to the main courtyard, looking at his and Gu Qingyuan’s house, the windows have been penetrated by the warm yellow bright light, the corners of the mouth raised a shallow arc, the footsteps can not help but two points faster, step into the house, the coolness instantly dissipated, a room of faint warm fragrance came, with the familiar taste of warmth, fragrance, is the taste of the girl! The taste that makes people feel at ease and relaxed, the taste that they have missed for a long time.
Nangong Juyue walked into the inner room and saw Gu Qingyuan sitting in front of the mirror table looking down at a small book, and Ling Yun was wiping her hair, just out of the bath.
Seeing Nangong Jueyue walk in, Ling Yun hurriedly bent down and greeted her, “Slave servant has seen Your Majesty.”
“Get up!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Hearing Ling Yun’s address, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes darkened for a moment, but instantly disappeared without a trace, turning her head to look at Nangong Jueyue, smiling lightly, “You’re back! Have you eaten?”
Natural, casual greeting, light care, a normal mode of getting along between husband and wife, which is out of order in the imperial palace, and even rare in the high gate, but is what Nangong Juyue likes the most.
Nangong Jueyi shook his head, “Not yet!”
“I have already explained that the kitchen is cooking, it should be ready in a while.”
“Good.” Nangong Jueyi nodded, but his heart could not help but feel a little lost, he wanted to eat the food cooked by the girl, however, he also knew that now the girl was physically inconvenient, this idea of his was really a little undesirable.
He still does not like anyone who lets can occupy the mind of the girl, but now, it is his own child what he can do! Moreover, he can no longer show a hint of displeasure, then the yatou should be unhappy again. Just, the child in this belly is not yet born, it is more important than him, it really makes the heart suffocating.
Reduced to the point of jealousy with one’s own child, Nangong Jueyue also felt quite childish and unbelievable. Sighing, he lifted his feet and walked to Gu Qingyuan, reached out and took the cotton cloth in Ling Yun’s hand, and in Ling Yun’s shocked eyes, began to wipe Gu Qingyuan’s hair skillfully and skilfully.
Gu Qingyuan through the mirror, looking at Nangong Jueyue has always been handsome and cold face, at this time dyed with soft, what flashed in the eyes, suppress the heart constantly surging up the loss, wipe away the inexplicable empty silence, the corners of the mouth raised a smile, “a period of time no see, husband’s craft is not the least bit rusty ah!”
Nangong Jueyi laughed lightly, “Once I learn it, I won’t forget it.”
“Does husband want me to praise your cleverness and extraordinary?”
“If your mother is willing to open her golden mouth, my husband will naturally listen to you.”
Ling Yun is the first time to see Gu Qing Yuan and Nangong Jue Yi’s mode of getting along, her heart is shocked, she didn’t expect her master to be so uninhibited in front of the emperor, she is very amazed. However, but did not dare to stay longer, sagely back down.
Just two steps to hear Gu Qingyuan alternative compliments sounded, the footsteps can not help but stagger a little, but more dare not hesitate to sprint out.
“A period of time has not seen, husband seems to have darkened a lot, people also ugly a lot.”
Gu Qingyuan words out, Nangong Jueyi is wiping the hand paused a moment, looked up at the mirror Gu Qingyuan, glared at her, “a period of time not see, mother is more and more can not talk. The kung fu of pleasing and selling good behavior has regressed a lot.”
“Husband is more and more unable to listen to the truth!” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. However, in view of his cautious nature, I said a lot more euphemistically, but I didn’t expect that he still couldn’t accept it. I just found out that my husband is also a lover of beauty. Also this is unexpected ……”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan speak more and more unlike words, Nangong Jueyue ground his teeth, “Gu Qingyuan, do you have to provoke to make me unhappy?”
“Hee hee …… Husband really understands me. Because, Husband’s angry look is very charming, so, especially like to see.”
The girl is still so frank, while just now that charm, but is clearly false flattery. However, seeing Gu Qingyuan return to her previous appearance, Nangong Jueyue relaxed in his heart, but his face carried a touch of anger and said, “The maiden who feels particularly good mood when she makes her husband angry, you are afraid to be the first in the world.”
“Is the first, so rare, so special, so only husband moved, and then can not be extricated, and finally to the point of non-Qing not marry ah!” Gu please Yu sighed: “Think about me this is really a great advantage, husband, this is my greatest charm!”
Nangong Jueyue listened to it with tears and laughter, it has been a long time since I listened to the girl’s sophistry, nostalgia is really some discomfort, white glance at her, “Yes! My husband is really lucky to have found such a special wife.”
“Husband just found out?”
“Bad-hearted girl.”
“These words really sound like love words.”
Nangong Jueyi smiled, his mouth crooked a bit, and lightly rebuked, “Girl, don’t you know that sometimes being too frank is very damaging to the atmosphere?”
Gu Qingyuan couldn’t help but laugh lightly when she heard this, “Husband, when did you also know how to be affectionate?”
“Is it possible to become a husband in your heart is not wood?”
“Always wood.”
“Gu Qingyuan ……”
“Still careful-eyed wood.”
“It’s really getting unpleasant.”
“That’s because husband’s love words are really too monotonous.”
“Are there many other kinds of love words? Have you heard them?”
Listening to the obvious probing meaning in Nangong Jue Yi’s words, Gu Qingyuan did not shake her head to his liking, but nodded her head and said, “I have heard of it!”
“Really? What have you heard?”
“For example, a glance of your beauty makes me lose my heart; your voice makes me lose my soul, and the moment I take you into my arms, it’s like I have the whole world; you are my heart, you are my liver, you are the source of my life; looking at you, I only feel that I came to the world in this life just to meet you, just to spoil you, love you and guard you; I have prayed to Buddha for 500 years to meet you, just so you can come to my side again and let me see your face again ……”
Nangong Jueyi listened to Gu Qingyuan’s smooth, almost verbal words, honeyed words that he had never heard before, and his brain had never thought of, Nangong Jueyi’s face became more and more strange, and his mouth pursed up. So compared, his can’t even be called love words! It is simply a childish pampering. Thinking about this, Nangong Jueyi’s face became a little ugly.
After Gu Qingyuan finished, looking at Nangong Jueyi’s tense expression, she pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to touch her hair that was already eight percent dry. After straightening his clothes, he got up, turned his head, tilted his head to look at Nangong Jueyue, reached out and circled his neck, stood on tiptoe, printed a light kiss on the corner of his mouth, and when the man’s face was about to turn clear, a word was spoken, and the man’s face darkened again.
“Hurt my husband’s great pride! However, what will not be still have to listen with an open mind and learn well, that way you can progress. Good boy ……”
After saying that, he gently patted Nangong Jueyi’s chest, sighed, shook his head and walked out, that old pedant’s appearance, looking at Nangong Jueyi couldn’t help but grind his teeth! The girl is getting more and more odious. Although he couldn’t see her face, but he was sure that that girl must be snickering. However, those damn words, where did she hear them from?
Hong family
After Nangong Jueyi’s decision for the new emperor became an iron-clad fact that could not be changed, the Hong family fell into a dead silence, but underneath this extreme silence, everyone’s heart was plunged into extreme fire and suffering.
What does Nangong Jueyi’s succession mean to them, everyone is very clear.
In the main house of the Hong family
Old Master Hong sat on the main seat, looking at the children and grandchildren below, his face was very grave. After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, “Now the situation has become a foregone conclusion, there is no room for maneuvering, tell us what you think!”
Old Master Hong opened his mouth, and Hong Hai, the eldest of the Hong family, with a face full of bitterness, opened his mouth and responded, “Father, it is no longer possible for us to have any ideas. We ended up on the wrong side in this battle for the crown prince, and lost completely! That man has become the new emperor and our new master, and what awaits us now is the destruction that will soon arrive, and he will definitely not be able to tolerate us.”
The old master Hong listened and sighed heavily, how did he not know this, originally thought that the eldest prince was rightfully the next new emperor of Hao Yue, and the first watched everything was developing according to that trend, the eldest prince was also gradually approaching that position step by step. The Hong family also saw that they were on top of the power and prestige, about to go up a level, but which knew that at the last moment, but all disillusioned, all planning to bring not wealth and prosperity, but destruction.
Hong Liang looked at the old man’s heavy face and frowned, “Our Hong family is not destined to have any good results. However, he has just become the new emperor, should not immediately do anything murderous. After all, just ascending to the throne, bright sword, bloodthirsty, let the people of Hao Yue know, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing. And, that man was never that impulsive. So, my son feels that we may still have a chance of survival.”
Hearing this, Old Master Hong sighed, “Yes! Knowing that he is the son of the emperor, but more than twenty years to hold back, completely let people can not see the slightest, just cold-eyed watching the palace of several imperial sons fighting each other to death, this heart, city, not ordinary people can do.”
“Father, now is not the time to praise him.” Hong En, the third master of the Hong family, said with some anxiety, “Second brother, what do you mean by the silver lining you just mentioned?”
“Plead guilty to him, submit to him, and the people of the family that can leave leave the capital immediately!” Hong Liang said indifferently.
Hong En listened to some disappointment, “Thought second brother could come up with some good solution. In the end, it is not to make us submit.” Said some reluctantly, “Do we have to live with our heads shrunken in the future?”
“Third brother you should not think too much now, just fear the opportunity to live with your head shrunken, that man will not even give us.” Hong Liang shook his head, a little helpless to Hong En’s inability to see reality.
“If that’s the case then what’s the point of living.” Hong En fire said, “Might as well let go and go against him, that way ……”
Hong En’s indignant words were not finished, was interrupted by the old man and Hong Liang, “You shut up, you still want my Hong family is not enough chaos now is not it? Are you still thinking that the Hong family is not chaotic enough? Are you afraid that the man will not pay attention to you, and want to add another fire, is not it? Bastard ……”
“Third brother, you want to be a hero, to throw your blood we do not stop, but you are now like this is to pull the whole Hong family to bury you, you really do not know the importance.” The second master of the Hong family, Hong Liang rare stern words.
Hearing this, Hong En grumpily said, “Listen to the second brother, as if it has become my fault, you must not forget that just now you said yourself, that man will not tolerate us. Since there is no way to escape death, why don’t I take a chance. He does not let me live, I can not let him have a good time, just ascended the throne and forced the people to rebel, I will see to see how much prestige he, the new emperor, can still have in the eyes of the people, how can still convince people.”
“Rebellion? How backbone, how courageous words, but childish, ignorant ridiculous.” Hong Liang’s voice was also stained with fire, sneering, “What capital do you have to go against, with just these guards of our Hong family, these subordinates?”
“How can there be only these people, aren’t there many other officials who are in the same situation as our Hong family? Also, isn’t the Grand Prince still not yet? As long as we all unite, that is also a considerable force, Xiahou Jueyi even if he is powerful, but two fists can hardly beat four hands, I do not believe that he dares us to destroy us all.”
Hong En spoke with a surge of passionate excitement, and said with great pride, “I believe that as long as we are united, Xiahou Jueyue he will not dare to fight us hard, kill so many ministers, and he, the emperor, will not want to sit down again. Therefore, we should not be afraid, moreover, we should not compromise so easily, that would be too cowardly.”
Hong En’s words came out, except for the old master Hong, Hong Liang, Hong Hai a few older people, the other few young juniors could not help but reveal a touch of excitement, a great sense of resonance to let go of a fight.
They are used to being respected, flattered, complimented, let them go to that kind of shrinking, hiding, avoiding the day, they are difficult to accept.
“Grandfather, father, I think what third uncle said is good. Xiahou Jueyi has just ascended to the throne, and he has more worries than we do. If we go out of our way, maybe he won’t dare to do anything to us. So ……,” Hong Bo, the eldest son of the Hong family, was interrupted by Hong Hai in a stern voice before he could finish.
“You shut up to me! Are you that impatient to get killed?” Hong Hai said in deep anger.
“Father, how can it be looking for death, my son is ……”
“Have you all forgotten what happened to the Wei family?” Hong Liang’s words came out, the faces of those present all stiffened.
“That man wiped out the Wei family clan without a sound. Likewise, he was able to silently exterminate us all. Still waiting for you guys to revolt and coerce him in a big way?” Hong Liang’s face was expressionless, “At that time he was still the son, and now he is the emperor of this Hao Yue, do you think he will be threatened by you? Don’t be too naive.”
Hong Liang’s words fell, and the room fell silent again. The atmosphere was even more gloomy than earlier.
Only Hong En was still a bit reluctant, “But now the situation is different from the Wei family, the Wei family is a no defense at all. And there are only a few members of their family, they want to resist, but also do not have the power. But we are different now, we are united, but the manpower is hundreds of times more than the Wei family, and, I am also sure that Xiahou Jueyi he does not dare to let loose to kill, he still has worries ……”
“Concerned about what? Concerned about the people’s opinion of him?” Hong Liang said coldly: “The new emperor has been in the capital for more than ten years, even if the contact is not much, you should also have some understanding of him! For so many years, who have you seen that man ever cared for? He cared about whose attitude, whose opinion? Even the emperor in front of him are less a majestic, all look at him three times.”
“As for the people of this Hao Yue, do you think they will stand up for you and say a word of injustice? That would be even more ridiculous, our Hong family does not have that kind of prestige in the capital, there is that people will be ignorant enough to go against the current emperor for a completely unrelated person.”
Hong Liang snickered: “As for the people’s opinion of the new emperor, that’s not a problem, our Hong family has been in the capital for so many years, dozens of years as an official, to say that it is still clean that is simply impossible. So, as long as the new emperor comes up with a few obscure things we once did, then, his bloodthirsty decapitation. In the eyes of the people will immediately become for the people to get rid of harm, if he then slightly to the people also give a grace, his prestige immediately up, and we are the scourge of death, at that time you think who else will sympathize with you? Will help you crusade against the new emperor?”
“By the same token, those officials have that are clean, even if they are, but as long as he wants, you will not be clean. So don’t think of yourself as too great, and don’t think of him as too simple. That is self-seeking death, and die faster, and what you want is absolutely will not get.”
Hong Liang’s words fell, the old master Hong closed his eyes and sighed heavily in his heart, this is the result of too much ambition. At this time, the old master Hong suddenly admired Li Yi’s initial determination. When his granddaughter got involved with the Wei family, she decided to give up her position as prime minister in order not to get involved in the royal battle.
At that time he had laughed that Li Yi was a timid and fearful one. Only now did he realize that his decision was much wiser than his. However, because of his incompetent granddaughter, the Li family ended up on the side of the second prince.
But with Gu Qingyuan around, the Li family will never have anything to do with it. The new emperor’s heart is what status, the capital is not that is not clear, as long as you want to maintain the Li family, want to make the Li family prosperous, that is not difficult at all.
The old man raised his eyes and looked at Hong Liang with remorse in his eyes, “If we had listened to you, our Hong family might not have come to this point, I’m afraid it would have been the complete opposite situation!
Hearing the words of Old Master Hong, Hong Hai’s face overflowed with bitterness, Hong En looked uncertain, and the younger members of the Hong family were somewhat unsure.
Hong Liang said with a bitter smile, “Father, there is no point in talking about that now. Moreover, at that time was to listen to my son’s promised Hong Xin to the new emperor, at that time, can not be completely sure that the new emperor will definitely nod that head. There are so many women in the capital that he has not seen him look at anyone, plus at that time he even Princess Yuran, have given unmerciful rejection, my son was just so casual, but in fact in his heart does not really want Hong Xin to marry such a cold man.”
The old man shook his head, knowing that his son was relieving himself.
Looking at his father’s face, Hong Liang said, “Besides, to put it in a self deprecating way, Xin’er is still less bold than Gu Qingyuan, and has a sharp and ruthless temperament. When the old marquis birthday banquet, Gu Qingyuan was hijacked, her reaction and Xin’er’s can be clearly seen when compared. Xin’er she is no match for that woman. Therefore, even if Xin’er married the new emperor, but may not be able to get the new emperor’s regard and favor for Gu Qingyuan like that.”
Hong En listened with disbelief, however, Hong Liang’s words suddenly made his brain light up and he stood up with fierce excitement, and in the eyes of the people’s astonishment, there was a burning madness in his eyes, “Since Xiahou Jueyi cares so much about Gu Qingyuan, then, why don’t we just capture Gu Qingyuan, as long as she is in hand, I …… ah ……”
Hong En’s words were not finished, people suddenly flew out, flew up, hit the wall, bounced back to the ground, landed with a heavy thud, people also spit blood from the mouth, face instantly pale, cry of pain, people curled up in a ball, there was a moment of dizziness, unconscious ……
Look at this, everyone’s heart a shock, a moment stunned, by this sudden change to subdue. However, after seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, his face changed dramatically, not much better than Hong En who fell to the ground.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the people of the Hong family, especially the Hong En on the ground, and then there was a flash of murder in his eyes. The third son of Hong is really wise and extraordinary, really, damn!”
The last two words came out, and the hearts of the Hong family sank violently, did they all hear that?
“Someone.” Qi肆 looked at Hong En and spoke.
“Chief.” A man flashed beside Kir Wreck.
“Send the Third Prince of Hong away.”
“Yes!”
The people in the room could only see the shadows of people swaying, the bright light of cold thirst crossed, red liquid splashed, even Hong En was dead or alive before they could see, the person disappeared from sight with the dark guards. Only a puddle of scarlet blood remains, telling people that this is not a dream.
Look at this, some people have been paralyzed, in the blink of an eye, just now still alive and well, screaming to counter the people so gone? Ruthless, cold means, so that people can not not change color, can not not feel fear.
The first thing you need to do is to look at the old man’s face on the main seat and say: “There is no need to worry about the old man, there are really a few people in the capital who have the same intention as the third son of Hong. And it just so happens that the Third Prince of Hong is not trying to find them to unite and plot a rebellion? Now that he has gotten his wish, on his way to hell, he will not be alone.”
Qi肆 words out, the old man Hong’s body could not restrain began to tremble, eyes flashed hurt, more is desperate. The new emperor, and still think will win, that itself is looking for death, how can still hope for other?
Qi Qi raises his eyes to glance at the gray and silent faces of the people in the room, and finally fixes his gaze on Hong Liang, who has a sullen look on his face.
“Second son of Hong.”
“Guardian Qi.”
“What are your thoughts on the death of the third son of Hong.”
“It’s sad, but the end was predetermined long ago, the subordinate has nothing to say.” Hong Liang’s face carried the bitterness of resignation.
Qi肆 listened to what flashed in his eyes, and suddenly said, “Hong Liang listen to the order.”
The words came out of Qi Qi, Hong Liang froze for a moment, but instantly had returned to his senses, respectfully kneeling down, “The next official listen to the decree.”
“The emperor has ordered that you will preside over the Hong family from now on. About those who disrespected the empress, I hope you can give the emperor a satisfactory answer. Don’t let the emperor down only.” Qi肆 said, leaned over, and whispered, “Whether the Hong family is overthrown depends on you, the Second Prince of Hong.”
When the words of Qi Qi fell, Hong Liang was like falling into an ice cave. That man is really cruel to the extreme, is he going to let their Hong family kill each other?
After finishing his speech, Qi Qi turned around and left without a sound, just as he had come.
Leaving behind the Hong family, the people with puzzled expressions looked at Hong Liang. The inquisitive, defensive eagerness in their eyes was evident.
Hong Liang look at this, eyes overflowing full of bitterness, he has not done anything yet and already so, and this is what that man wants!
Nangong Juyue finished eating, saw Gu Qingyuan still kept stuffing into her mouth, the amount of food was frightening, could not help but be a little shocked, but, thinking that she is now pregnant with a child, perhaps she will be able to eat more than before!
However, in seeing Gu Qing Yuan ready to use the third bowl of rice, some can not be calm, could not help but speak: “girl, the evening, you eat too much afraid that is not good easy to squeeze food.”
Gu Qingyuan listened to the hands of the food clip even pause, looked at Nangong Jueyi glance, faintly said: “You want to starve your daughter?”
“Daughter?” Nangong Jueyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qingyuan’s stomach, “Did Ling Yun tell you this? However, according to the month, you shouldn’t be able to probe out now, right?”
Gu Qingyuan shook her head. “No, Ling Yun besides telling me that the child is fine, nothing else said! And, about the sex of the child I do not want to ask, I just simply amount like so called!”
Nangong Jueyi listened to a flash of surprise in his eyes, “You like daughters?”
“I like my children whether they are daughters or sons.” Gu Qingyuan looked at the slightly surprised gaze of Nangong Juyue Yi and knew exactly what he was thinking in his heart, in ancient times a son is the most important, with a son, the status can be guaranteed, with a son is considered to have everything.
Just after Nangong Jueyi became emperor, she was in extreme contradiction, she hoped very much that the child in her belly would be a daughter, then there was still a possibility of flying out of the palace that golden silk cage, however, she was also clear that since Nangong Jueyi was the emperor, he must have a son, he must have one. If she does not want to appear in the son or daughter, she must have a son.
If there is a son, to be destined to be this palace captive for life, her child, she really does not want. Just these words can be said?
Gu Qingyuan heart long sigh, the surface but very plainly said: “Because if it is a daughter, I can give her together dressed as a sister flower, go out to show off our amazing beauty, that must feel very good. So, like to call daughter.”
When Nangong Jueyi heard what he said, he couldn’t restrain his face from twitching a little, “Girl, you don’t give me too much unruly. In front of me no big and small is fine, in front of the child how can you be so, you are a mother, how can you and the child call what sister? And flaunt your beauty, if you dare, I will lock you up, understand?”
Smiling, Gu Qingyuan gave him a white look, “Calling my daughter a sister, doesn’t it make me look young?” After saying that, she looked down at her stomach and said, “Daughter, it seems that we are too beautiful in your father’s eyes is also wrong! Moreover, your father is so small-minded that he is thinking of shutting you up before you come out. It’s really not like that, when you come out, you have to remember, you must pee on his body a few more times, know it?”
Nangong Jueyi listened and pressed his eyebrows, somewhat powerlessly said, “Yatou, are there any children you teach like this?”
“What’s wrong? How well I educated.” Gu Qingyuan laughed lightly: “Besides, don’t you want to have a daughter who looks like a flower?”
“Like a flower like a jade?” Nangong Jueyi said, raising his eyes to look at Gu Qingyuan’s beautiful face, and unconsciously nodded, “It should also be nice to have a daughter who looks like your mother.”
“Of course my daughter will look like me.”
Smiling, Nangong Jueyi’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Is that so? If that’s the case, when she is born, the first thing I have to teach her is to tell her that as a woman, she should not listen to those nonsense sweet words, moreover, she should never marry a man who can say those words, so frivolous, she is not destined to become a great man.” After saying that there is a meaningful look at Gu Qingyuan.
Gu Qingyuan listened to pursed her lips and smiled, the man’s careful eyes really did not change at all. “Husband said yes, but, just do not know for the love of peach blossom men, Husband has what opinion? The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular. For example, such as the husband, you think that daughter married such an unconscious person, okay?”
Gu Qingyuan words out, Nangong Jueyi face stiffened a minute, and then after expressionless rise, looking at Gu Qingyuan angrily said: “Do not talk to my husband what peach blossom, that will remind me of certain around the mother, those who do not remember at all.”
After Nangong Juyi’s words, Gu Qingyuan suddenly thought of something, so she got up, pulled Nangong Juyi’s arm, with a touch of inexplicable excitement on her face and said, “Husband, when I was in Lingcheng, did something interesting happen after I left?”
“What interesting things?” Nangong Jueyi stared, intuitively feeling that he would not like what Gu Qingyuan was going to say next.
“It’s Nian’er! Did you see anything that you shouldn’t see?”
Sure enough, it was not what he liked to hear, what was more annoying was Gu Qingyuan’s attitude, was this girl excited? It seems like that damn Murong Ye had already given her something to say.
However, since she knew, she could still be so excited? Nangong Jueyi gritted his teeth, “What does your mother think my husband will see?”
