late night song

Chapter 14
It was already evening when we returned to the palace.

Gu Yuchu was anxious to get off his horse, but he was still forcefully carried into the house by Qi Zhi.

"Since it's a show, let's do the whole thing." Qi Jian gently reminded. Gu Yuchu understood immediately and fainted in cooperation.

The man smiled without missing a beat, and then immediately ordered Xu Zhang to go to the palace and ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to come over and diagnose the princess's pulse.

Gu Yuxin was bored in the house all day, and was extremely depressed when she learned that King Qin had left her to take her sister out for fun.

I especially remember that in the cool autumn last year, Qi Huan took her to Qionglong Mountain to enjoy the red leaves and Wangchuan Valley to watch the sunset. It was so comfortable and beautiful. But after her sister came back, everything seemed to have changed. The man spent all his free time with her. With her sister around, she seemed to have become a dispensable person, and the Yimei Courtyard where she lived became increasingly cold and cold.

How to save her precarious future and how to regain the love and care she had received from the beginning became the biggest worry that haunted her.

Gu Yu was in a daze clutching the flowers in the yard. Liansheng came in a hurry to tell her that the princess was injured while riding a horse while out for fun.She then put away her racing thoughts and rushed to Linyue Pavilion. When she entered the door, she saw her sister lying on the bed, sweating profusely and looking very painful.

Qi Jian held Gu Yuchu's hand tightly. Even though he knew she was putting on a show, he only saw this woman who was pretending to be presentable and did not notice Gu Yuxin's arrival.

Although Gu Yuxin's instinct was to care about her sister's safety first and foremost, seeing that he was like this made her even more sad.

Although they are sisters, they are not born from the same mother.The mothers of both of them were the wives of Yuchi Yun, the second daughter-in-law of Yuchi Mansion, the second daughter-in-law of Yuchi Mansion. In order to establish the legitimate concubine, the old grandmother of Yuchi Mansion made a rule before her death. Whichever of the two second daughter-in-laws gave birth to Lin'er first would be Yuchi. Yun's first wife.

The two wives of Yuchi Yun seemed to get along harmoniously, but they both tried their best to have a better future for their children. Gu Yuchu and Gu Yuxin were born less than two months apart, and in the following years, the two sides fell in love. They all tried their best to give birth to a son. It was not until Gu Yuchu was four years old that her mother Gu Ying successfully gave birth to her legitimate son Wei Chi Jingheng, and she was promoted to the eldest lady.

Gu Yu thought in his heart that his mother was neglected by his father and had to wait and wait for long nights. It was exactly the same as his current situation, and he felt the same.

She remembered that her mother had warned her more than once that if a woman cannot hold her husband's sincerity, she has nothing.

She could not forget her mother's grievances and despair throughout her life, so she made up her mind at this moment to do her best for her sincerity and happiness until her death.

Not long after the three people stayed in the room silently, Dr. Wu from the Imperial Hospital and several well-known doctors from the market arrived to jointly diagnose and treat the princess. The entire Linyue Pavilion was instantly in chaos, which lasted for several nights.

After that, the whole city knew that Princess Qin was attacked by bandits when she was out playing, which caused a miscarriage in her fetus. Within three days, she had a miscarriage.The King of Qin was furious because of this, and used the city defense army without authorization, intending to eradicate the bandits around Qidu and bury his dead child with him.

The King of Qin was so determined to have his own way that for a while, the court continued to participate in the music, accusing him of acting recklessly and overstepping his authority for selfish interests.But Zhen Congxin did not stand up to speak for the frame. Although he knew that regardless of whether the princess had a miscarriage or not, King Qin did have ulterior motives for this move. There would be a long time to come. He wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, but he also needed to be prepared before he acted.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that Emperor Ming did not blame the King of Qin for this, but instead allowed him to mobilize the power to protect the city and the imperial army under special circumstances without obtaining an imperial edict regarding the suppression of bandits and pirates.

For a whole month, Gu Yuchu had to lie down obediently and was not allowed to get out of bed several times. When she was bored, she carefully thought about every step of her plan after returning to Qidu. .

First of all, in the current matter, is Young Master Zhen deliberately falling into an assassin's trap in Qionglong Mountain, or is it a coincidence?

She didn't know and couldn't judge.But no matter what, King Qin won the favor of the Zhen family.

Secondly, even though the King of Qin was angry and used the guise of being a beauty, Emperor Ming actually did not criticize him harshly, but instead acquiesced to him the right to dispatch the city guarding troops under special circumstances. Why is this?

Although she was not completely sure about this, she intuitively guessed that it might be Concubine Mengyi's fault.

In fact, it is true.

Some time ago, Zhang Mengyi had an accidental miscarriage. At this time, Qi Jie lied that Princess Qin also had an accidental miscarriage, in order to allow Emperor Ming to better empathize with him. In this way, Emperor Ming could be more considerate and understand his so-called impulsive behavior. , coupled with Zhang Mengyi's pillow wind for many days, the King of Qin unexpectedly grasped a great opportunity to control the city defense army.

Of course, Kai frame is not a fool.

Zhang Mengyi was just a beloved concubine. Even if she was deeply attached to the Holy Family, trying to interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty was like riding on the road of Shu and overestimating her own capabilities.

He deliberately got angry, made mistakes, and got himself into trouble, but his intentions were elsewhere.

But regardless of whether it was as she suspected, or whether the King of Qin might have ulterior motives, Gu Yuchu was not particularly curious. From the beginning to the end, she was only concerned about when the murder of the Yuchi clan would be revealed. Unfortunately, even though the Prince of Qin's palace made frequent moves, she could not The good news she expected did not come.

Immediately afterwards, on the winter solstice, Yuan Xinkui went to the city to behead.

This made Gu Yuchu, who was already anxious, even more surprised and stunned!

Ruan Qing is dead, and Yuan Xinnai is the last important witness in the injustice case of Concubine Yi and Yuchi Lin. How could Qi frame, who was bent on revenge, let him die so easily?
Gu Yuchu was puzzled.

She originally thought that Qi Jie might just imprison Yuan Xin, and then lured him with life, forcing him to hand over the forged letter that slandered Yuchi Lin and destroyed it, saying that Concubine Yi conspired with the King of Northern Qi to plot a rebellion, and confessed that Concubine Xian was behind the scenes. This person made it difficult for King Hong to leave the house and thought about his past. In the end, he killed both mother and son.

But now that Yuan Xinyi is dead, all clues have been lost.Could it be that Qijian has obtained Yuan Xin's confession or more effective and key evidence?Gu Yuchu comforted himself like this.

But what is the key evidence that can directly eliminate Yuan Xin, a very important witness?

And can this key piece of mysterious evidence be enough to overturn the case for the Yuchi family?
If there is really such evidence to overturn the verdict, why didn't Qi Jian take it out earlier and why it was kept so secretly?
One question after another came to mind, and Gu Yuchu's unreserved trust in this man was shaken for the first time.

Half a month later, the first heavy snowfall in Qidu City suddenly came, and the whole city was covered in silver overnight, which was so beautiful that it was dazzling.

After the fake show was over, she could finally get out of bed. Gu Yuchu put on a honey-colored cloak and walked in the garden of the palace. The crunch of snow under her feet really made her feel at ease. Although she had a lot of worries in her heart, her current mood Still feeling happy unconsciously.

"elder sister."

Hearing her sister calling her, Gu Yuchu turned around and saw Gu Yuxin running towards her in a vermilion cloak. This outfit was very gorgeous in the snow. Even though her fair face was slightly red from the cold, she still looked... Very beautiful.

Looking around again, Qi Jian was steadily following behind Gu Yuxin, tall and handsome.

"You're in good health, and you don't have to worry about catching cold when you run out." He blamed Gu Yuchu with a little anger. The woman rolled her eyes more than a hundred times unconsciously, sighing that this scene was really realistic and comprehensive.

Before she could come to her senses, Qi Jian quickly walked towards her and raised his hand to tighten her collar himself. Gu Yuchu smiled faintly in return, but the man looked at her lovingly.

"oops!"

A muffled sound interrupted the beautiful silence between the two.They heard the sound and went out together, and found Gu Yuxin falling in the snow, her bright red cloak stained with layers of snowflakes.

"What's wrong?" Qi Jian and Gu Yuchu ran towards her at the same time, asking anxiously.

"My foot is twisted, it hurts." Gu Yuxin twisted her eyebrows and was about to cry from the pain.

"So careless."

Qi Jian blamed him and quickly squatted down in front of her. His meaning was obvious.

Gu Yuxin looked at her sister sheepishly and whispered, "I can walk by myself."

Then, she stood up and moved willfully, refusing to be dissuaded, but in the end she stumbled and almost fell down again.

Qi Jian no longer allowed her to mess around, he moved quickly and skillfully carried her on his back, while Gu Yuxin's arms around Qi Jian unconsciously tightened, coveting the hot tenderness.

Gu Yuchu quietly watched the indescribable tacit understanding and intimacy between them, and the heart that seemed to have melted due to the previous tacit understanding between the two became frozen again.

At this time, the flying snow in the sky suddenly stopped, as if it couldn't bear to disturb the warmth rising in the hearts of these lovers.

For a moment, Gu Yuchu felt that he was very redundant and just followed them silently from a distance.

But the ignorant north wind didn't understand her sad thoughts the most. It whizzed by, blowing down not only the red plums of the tree, but also the worries that she didn't dare to face calmly.

She stopped and lowered her head to comfort herself for two seconds. When she looked up again, she suddenly discovered that all the red plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom, printed on the plain white sky and earth, which was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Yes, my sister loves red plums the most, so the palace’s garden is full of red flowers in winter.

He must love Gu Yuxin very much.

Gu Yuchu shook his head unconsciously and smiled bitterly.

Qi Zhen's meticulous care for her was just to hide it from others, but she took it seriously.

She suddenly understood the reason for her false reputation as a princess. Everything he planned was to protect his beloved, her lovely sister Gu Yuxin, to prevent her from falling into conspiracies and traps, and to avoid sharp blades. He won't be constrained by this.

I really hate snowy days.

Qi Jian, who was walking forward, gradually spotted Gu Yuchu who was alone, and quickly turned around to look for him. When he saw the quiet woman under the red plum tree, he was startled, as if he had been struck by lightning. At that moment, he seemed to feel that he was alone. The mother-in-law was alive again, waiting quietly for him to run and bring the new branches of plum blossoms.
