famous eldest daughter

Chapter 412 End
As he was talking, the heavy wooden door of the imperial study room was pushed open again. The autumn sunshine filtered through the cracked door, and white flowers shone in. Xiao Duo felt it was particularly dazzling, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, not daring to look at what was coming in. people.

Gu Yuqing gave Xiao Duo a cold look, and when his eyes fell on the bright yellow dragon robe in the hands of the imperial army, the breath in his heart was completely exhaled.

"Your Majesty, this was found in the secret room of the Second Prince's Mansion. Along with it, there is a chair that is exactly the same as the dragon chair in the Golden Throne Hall of His Majesty, except that the chair is embedded in the wall and cannot be removed. , there are many gold bricks stacked in that secret room."

Xiao Duo's eyelids jumped as he listened.

The dragon robe is his, the dragon chair is his, but this gold brick... there is no gold brick in his secret room at all!

However, he couldn't explain this. How could he explain it? Could it be: "Father, I made the dragon robe and dragon chair privately, but I didn't steal the gold bricks!"

For a moment, Xiao Duo seemed to have been drained of his soul by an evil spirit. His whole body was haggard and slumped on the body of the imperial guards behind him. He no longer had the aggressiveness he had before, and he had no energy to defend himself.

He knew it was over.

After the Imperial Army finished speaking, Xiao Yi suddenly jumped up. He really did not expect that Xiao Duo would secretly hide such a thing in his house. He raised his finger tremblingly, pointed at Xiao Duo, and said angrily: "You actually set up a dragon-robed dragon privately." Chair, the ambition of a wolf is exactly the same as that of Prince Duan!"

After the words trailed off in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi picked up the topic again and added quietly, "Lu Jiuzheng's gold bricks are indeed in your hands. It can be seen that crazy words may not be untrustworthy."

At this point, everything can be perfectly connected.

Gu Yuqing calmly lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, waiting for the emperor's final judgment on Xiao Duo.

His eyes were locked on the dragon robe held in the hands of the imperial guards. At this moment, the emperor was furious and had lingering fears.

Should he be grateful for everything today?

He couldn't even imagine what Xiao Duo would do in the future if there was no today's incident and if Xiao Duo hadn't been exposed... For the throne, for King Duan, killing the king, I'm afraid it is not impossible!
"Princes break the law and are as guilty as the common people. My second son, Xiao Duo, instigated Lu Jiuzheng to kidnap the eldest daughter of Marquis Chinan. During this period, he also tried to intercept the murderous fourth prince. He is really a treasonous person. Although I can't bear it, what I did is , the laws of heaven cannot be tolerated, I cannot ignore the laws of heaven because of my own selfishness. I will behead him early tomorrow morning in public display!"

Gritting his teeth, the emperor stared at Xiao Duo like a knife and spoke word by word.

When the servant gets the order, he will naturally formulate it into a written imperial decree according to the emperor's wishes.

After the emperor said this, a cold light burst out from his sinister eyes like an eagle, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "The things that King Duan planned so carefully were eventually defeated by me and my sons. Even if you die, you will not be able to do it." He will only use my name and have nothing to do with King Duan."

"You want to seek my throne, but I just use your lives to appease the people of the world. The life of a prince is enough to calm the resentment in the hearts of the people who were affected by the flash flood."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, he immediately clicked his tongue.

The Emperor is the Emperor after all!

When something like this happens, he can be so calm and make the most beneficial decision for the current situation. This state of mind is unparalleled by ordinary people.

It was already after noon when I came out of the Imperial Study Room.

The warm autumn sun shone on Gu Yuqing's body, which had been cold for months, and finally showed a trace of warmth.

Looking at Xiao Duo's back as he was being escorted away by the Forbidden Army and gradually disappearing, Gu Yuqing looked up to the sky and took a long breath, then let it out faintly.

The fragrance of golden osmanthus, this breath is really refreshing and refreshing.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi were left behind by the emperor, while Xiao Ke came out with Gu Yuqing.

Walking side by side on the bluestone slabs of the long corridor in the palace, feeling Gu Yuqing's aura beside her and the thin temperature radiating from her body, Xiao Ke unconsciously brought himself closer to Gu Yuqing.

There was excitement in his chest, and there were two words that were always on the tip of his tongue, but his lips seemed to be locked. Those words were clearly blurted out, but they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

He didn't open his mouth, but he heard Gu Yuqing beside him say: "What happened today, you must have acted like this after receiving orders from His Highness the Fourth Prince!"

Looking at the red bricks and blue tiles in front of him, it was clearly the first time he was talking to Xiao Ke, but Gu Yuqing felt as if they had been close friends for many years. When the words came out, he was stunned for a moment.

When Xiao Ke heard this, a strange color flashed across his eyes, he pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Yes."

Gu Yuqing couldn't help turning her head, "You are so blunt, aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"

Xiao Ke shook his head, "You can't."

Looking into Gu Yuqing's eyes, there was a deep feeling in his eyes that Gu Yuqing couldn't understand. That feeling was as deep as the sea and seemed to be able to tolerate everything.

For a moment, Gu Yuqing thought of the scene in Chenxiang Pavilion, "It must have been you in Chenxiang Pavilion that day!"

Xiao Ke was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, but he only hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes."

When he asked, he got the answer, but Gu Yuqing didn't know what to say. He felt like there was a ball of twine stuck in his heart, and he didn't know where the beginning and the end were.

Looking at Xiao Ke, his handsome features fell into Gu Yuqing's eyes. In a daze, Gu Yuqing felt that she had seen a face that was very similar to his somewhere.

Those eyes and mouth are particularly familiar.

Thoughts were racing through my mind, but I couldn't think of anything.

As they were walking, the personal maid in front of the Queen Mother came from afar and came to Gu Yuqing. She knelt down and said hello to Xiao Ke first, then turned to Gu Yuqing and said: "Miss Gu, the Queen Mother is thinking of you. Let me." Please come to the imperial study to see if your Majesty's business is over. If so, please ask Miss Gu to come and sit down. Unexpectedly, I will meet you here."

When he entered the palace, he originally wanted to have a chat with the Queen Mother, but because the matter in the royal study was over, it was already after noon, and he was afraid that the Queen Mother was taking a nap, so he did not go straight there. At the moment, Gu Yuqing naturally did not dare to go there again. hold up.

Say goodbye to Xiao Ke and follow the palace maid.

Looking at Gu Yuqing's retreating back, Xiao Ke's nose twitched hard, feeling sour and his eyes were red and swollen uncomfortably.

Standing still like that, until Gu Yuqing's figure completely disappeared, he let out a long sigh, turned his head reluctantly, and walked in the opposite direction.

But in the imperial study room, the scene where Gu Yuqing pulled him behind him to protect him tightly was like a branding iron, deeply burned in his heart, and it was clear inch by inch as he moved up and down.
