Chapter 714 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
"Such a big hole..." Pei Cairen cried again, "There is such a big hole pierced in the armor... My child, he has delicate skin and tender flesh, how can he stand such a cruel hand! He has to How painful!"

She knelt in front of the emperor, hugged the emperor's legs, and cried, "Your Majesty, I beg you, you must arrest that bitch, no! Let her body be torn into pieces! Throw it into a mass grave." Feed the dog!"

"..."

Seeing that her emotions were getting more and more out of control, the emperor couldn't move his legs. He was angry and hated, and said in a low voice: "Come here! Drag Pei Cairen out!"

"Yes..." Immediately, the imperial guards entered the room.

"what?!"

Pei Cairen was startled and frightened, and burst into tears, "Your Majesty! The life and death of the concubine's child is unknown, are you going to treat the concubine like this? What did I do wrong? I asked you to avenge my son, am I wrong? !"

Several guards looked at each other, but no one dared to move.

The emperor turned pale with anger, and roared: "Drag out! She is not allowed to visit without my permission! Anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

"Yes."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are so biased!"

The cries of Pei Cairen's screams gradually faded away, and the emperor felt that his anger had calmed down a little.

He sat on the head of the bed, looking at his sleeping son, speechless for a long time.

Until the sun set and the palace lanterns were lit in the hall, he still maintained his original posture and remained motionless.

Cao De quietly brought up the boiled medicine: "Your Majesty, Master Gu is still waiting outside the palace."

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, he was in a daze, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Cao De didn't dare to mention Gu Yong again, so he had to remind him: "Your Majesty, this medicine will not be good if it is cold."

……

"His Majesty?"

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty--"

After calling several times in a row, the emperor stretched out his hand dejectedly.

Cao De hurriedly bowed forward: "I will wait for you to drink." While putting the medicine bowl on the desk, he took a sip with a small spoon and brought it to the emperor's lips, but he happened to see the sadness between the emperor's brows, and was shocked: "His Majesty?"

"Nothing..." The emperor waved his hand and asked, "You just said that Gu Yong is still outside the door?"

"Yes..." Such a big change happened in the palace, King Jin was injured, and the Queen Mother was placed under house arrest. Cao De only felt terrified when he recalled it, and he didn't dare to say a word. report."

"Oh? What's the matter?" The emperor was taken aback.

Apart from being related to the palace change, what else could it be?

A day and a night passed, and Gu Yong was still wearing the purple official uniform, the light silver embroidery was splashed with a smear of blood, which had solidified into a dark red.

"Your Majesty, Gu Yong, greet Your Majesty."

When he knelt down with his robe in his hands, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, that smear of blood appeared under the eyes of the emperor, causing his temples to throb with pain.

"Get up." The emperor sighed again, "You said you have something important to report to me?"

"Yes." Gu Yong didn't get up, but bowed his head and bowed again, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I'm here to apologize!"

"Apology?" The emperor didn't understand, "What is your crime?"

"I'm guilty of death!" Gu Yong cupped his hands, his face was cold: "Your Majesty, I failed to protect His Royal Highness Prince Jin, so that His Highness was almost killed by a villain. Please give me a capital punishment!"

"Hey——" the emperor waved his hand, wanting to help him himself, "You joined forces with Zhao Ziyi to overthrow the rebellious party, and it's too late for me to reward you, how could I blame you for the matter of the King of Jin..." His tone paused, and he stretched out His arm stopped in mid-air.

"What did you say? Was victimized by a villain? Which villain?"

On the second day of the palace change, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the glazed tiles in the morning, the gate of the Gu Mansion, which had been closed for several days, finally slowly opened.

Gu Yong brushed off his sleeves, and stepped into the threshold calmly.

"Father." Gu Yuci greeted him.

"Ci'er..." Gu Yong looked at his daughter up and down, and seeing that her eyes were black and blue, he frowned, and lightly reprimanded: "Why do you wake up so early? The doctor said, you have to take good care of her... "

"Father." Gu Yuci interrupted him abruptly, "It's all in the past!" Perhaps aware of her gaffe, she lowered her voice again, "Father, don't mention the past."

"..." Gu Yong looked at his daughter and didn't speak.

His daughter had to be strong since she was a child, she didn't want anyone to worry about everything, and she had to do her best in everything.

Even after experiencing such a great humiliation, she refused to show any weakness.

"Okay..." He sighed softly, finally chose to go along with her, and said softly: "If you don't mention Ci'er, Daddy won't mention it."

Father and daughter entered the study together.

Gu Yuci personally poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Yong, and then sat down opposite his desk.

"Why did Daddy stay in the palace for so long? Does the old witch still want to make trouble?"

Gu Yong smiled: "It is impossible for the old witch to find out the waves again." He paused, looked at his daughter, "Daddy is going to make plans for you."

"For me?" Gu Yuci was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood, "Daddy, you are talking about..."

"Hmm." Gu Yong nodded lightly, "The battle in Liangzhou is going very smoothly, the crown prince may lead the army ahead of schedule, and daddy will make arrangements for you in advance, and we can't let you get into trouble again."

"Father..." Gu Yuci's throat became hot, and he couldn't help calling out, "You don't have to do this for your daughter..."

"Ci'er..." Gu Yong took a deep breath, "Father is not only for you, but also for himself, for the Gu family, and even for His Royal Highness—" He picked up the teacup and gently pushed aside the float on it. Mo said in a calm tone, "Yesterday in Changxin Palace, you also saw clearly that the crown prince actually handed over the military power of the entire imperial capital to her..."

"Father?" Gu Yuci was slightly taken aback, "You still care, don't you?"

After asking this sentence, I suddenly felt sore in my heart.

How can you not care?
For most of his life, he did his best only for His Royal Highness.

He treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as his own son, and gave without complaint or regret. Even if he was misunderstood, neglected, or guarded against, he would have no place at all.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only regarded him as a courtier from the beginning to the end, and he was still the kind who didn't trust him at all.

"It's useless to be a daughter." Gu Yuci pulled out a smile, "If it wasn't for me back then..."

Halfway through, he stopped abruptly.

To this day, she still doesn't know whether it was she who messed up the matter and made the prince guard against the Gu family; or Gu Yong messed up the matter and made the prince alienate her from then on...

"Didn't I just say it, so I won't mention the past?" Gu Yong put down the teacup and said in a solemn tone, "Ci'er, father won't watch you be wronged like that again! In the days to come, no one will dare to laugh at you again." Already!"

"Huh?" Gu Yuci withdrew his thoughts, as keen as she was, and immediately caught the abnormality in Gu Yong's tone: "What did you do?"

"It's nothing." Gu Yong shook his head, "Father just eliminated an opponent for you—"

"Father? What did you say!" Gu Yuci stood up suddenly, and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind, "What did you do to Zhao Xiwei?!"
