happy match

Although Ye Qinglan had deep confidence in Gu Xinian, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, so many impeachment memorials are placed in front of the emperor, it is normal for the emperor to waver.What's more, the impeachment in the memorial is not completely absent, but some of them are slightly exaggerated.If the emperor wanted to punish Gu Xinian for his crimes, so many memorials would be enough.

In comparison, Gu Xinian himself was the most calm and composed one.

It was a big mistake for the third prince to choose such an opportunity to deal with him.Now the border war is at the most critical juncture, and the affairs of the household department are complicated, and the person in charge is absolutely indispensable.He deliberately made several memorials to defend himself and then stayed in the mansion to reflect on himself, which is actually a disguised pick.Facts have proved that this trick really works.The emperor can no longer stand on the sidelines, he has to express his opinion.

It was expected by Gu Xinian that the crown prince interceded for him.

Leaving aside private feelings for the time being, it is impossible for the crown prince to ignore him just because he is the crown prince's confidant.There are so many people in the prince's group, but they all watched the prince's actions and performances with wide eyes.As long as the prince is not too stupid, he will definitely seize this opportunity to show his benevolence, righteousness and generosity to everyone.The prince did not disappoint him, indeed, he brought good news.

Sun said with a happy face: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness interceded this time, and Xinian is finally safe and sound."

Mrs. Zheng had some complaints about the prince, but after this incident, she suddenly changed her mind about the prince, and said with a smile: "Yes, this time is really thanks to Your Highness. Otherwise, I don't know how long Xi Nian will stay in the mansion. "

The calculation in Gu Xinian's mind.Of course others don't know.In the eyes of Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng, the emperor issued this oral order.Most of it is the prince's credit.

The prince accepted everyone's kindness unceremoniously, and showed a bit of complacency on his face.but.When he pulled Gu Xinian aside privately, the smile on the prince's face faded a lot, and he said in a low voice: "Father asked me to bring the oral order, but those memorials to impeach you have not been approved, and they are still in the On the desk in the imperial study. You have to be more careful in what you do in the future..."

Sure enough, the emperor is still suspicious by nature like his previous life!

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and the corner of his lips curled up in a sarcasm: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness, I will be careful."

As a son of man, it is indeed embarrassing to talk about his father behind his back.

The crown prince changed the topic a little embarrassingly: "The third brother is really determined. He didn't dare to deal with me openly, but he came for you. It's really embarrassing!"

Of course, Gu Xinian would not explain this misunderstanding, but comforted the prince with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry about it. The third prince's situation is over now, and it is inevitable to fight some trapped beasts in desperation. The emperor is not blinded by him. The best proof of your heart."

These words were so pleasing to the ear, the corners of the Prince's mouth raised.

It's time for the third prince to hear the news from the palace...

A crisp sound of "Boom" came from the study of the Third Prince's Mansion.The servant girl who was serving in the study was silent like a cicada, hardly even daring to breathe.

The study was a mess.The precious inkstone on the desk was swept to the ground.Pen and ink were scattered all over the floor, and the expensive and exquisite teacups were splashed with tea.The third prince's face was ashen, his eyes were ferocious, and his heart was full of anger and resentment.Almost screaming out of the chest.

Why?What is all this about?

Obviously there are so many impeachment memorials, let alone a mere servant of the household department, even a first-rank official of the current prime minister.It is impossible to be safe and sound.Why did the emperor let go of Gu Xinian so easily?

......

Luo Shi received the report from his servants and rushed over in a hurry.Just stepped into the study.He was taken aback by the shocking scene in front of him.Seeing the third prince's unprecedentedly violent and gloomy face again, he felt even more uneasy.A series of thoughts quickly passed through my mind.The third prince was fine a few days ago.The mood seems to be better than before.What happened to make him so angry?

Having been married to the third prince for many years, Luo Shi knows his temper very well.Although the third prince's temper is not gentle in private, he has always had great self-control, even if he encounters any unpleasant things, he will try his best to suppress them.It's almost never happened to be so angry in front of the servants like now...

Luo Shi collected himself, and shouted softly: "Your Highness, who made you unhappy..."

"Get out!" The third prince said angrily without even looking at her.The gloomy face is really scary!

Luo Shi's smile froze at the corner of his lips, but he didn't move. After a long while, he opened his mouth again and said, "I know His Highness is in a bad mood. If Your Highness doesn't dislike my shallow knowledge, you might as well talk to me. Concubine Even if I can't help much, at least I can share some for His Highness..."

The third prince suddenly turned his head and said in a pause: "Didn't you understand what I just said? Don't show your kindness and gentleness in front of me. I don't need it. Get out now and leave me alone." Quiet and quiet!"

Everyone in the study did not dare to raise their heads, wishing to lower their heads even lower.

Luo's tears welled up in his eyes, and finally resisted not falling, turned around and left silently.

The third prince's deep and cold voice came from behind: "There are you guys, get out of here, no one is allowed to come in again today without my order."

The servants who were serving in the study all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated quietly.One of the servants accidentally stepped on a fragment of the teacup, and there was a sharp pain in the sole of his foot, and he reflexively let out a cry of pain.Then his face turned pale, and he knelt down without hesitation: "This slave didn't do it on purpose, please Your Highness, please spare this slave's life!"

The third prince looked over coldly: "Come here, drag it down and hit fifty boards." If fifty boards go down, at least half of my life will be lost.

The boy's face was pale, but he didn't even dare to beg for mercy.

After a while, two tall and strong guards dragged the boy down.

The third prince's anger was vented a little, and he paced back and forth in the study alone, Gu Xinian's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling kept flashing in his mind, and his complexion became a little bit grim again.

Gu Xinian, this time is your luck!If it weren't for the fact that the border war is at a critical juncture, and you, the servant of the household department, are indispensable to raise food and grass, the emperor would never let you go so easily.

One day, I will let you taste the taste of regret.This is the price you have to pay for daring to plot behind my back!

......

"The third prince must be mad!" That night, after taking a bath, Ye Qinglan lay softly in Gu Xinian's arms, and said with a soft smile, "You are really courageous enough. Even the emperor dares to plot, so you should Don't you worry that once the war is over, the emperor will come to settle accounts with you?"

Gu Xinian laughed silently: "In those memorials to impeach me, how much is true and what is false, the emperor knows very well. Do you really think he is a fool and will be manipulated by others?"

When mentioning the emperor, Gu Xinian's tone was not particularly respectful, even somewhat indifferent and disapproving.In a society where imperial power is supreme, this is almost an act of treason.

But Ye Qinglan took it for granted, and talked about the current emperor in the same casual tone: "By the way, there is something I forgot to ask you all the time. You told me before that the third prince moved against Dingguo's mansion after he ascended the throne." In other words, the emperor had already passed away at that time. How old were you at that time?"

Gu Xinian replied flatly, "I'm 26 years old."

Ye Qinglan was startled, and quickly calculated in her heart.Gu Xinian has passed his 24th birthday this year, and he is less than two years away from turning 26.Doesn't this mean that the emperor will die in more than a year?

"The emperor was in his prime, how could he pass away so early?" Ye Qinglan asked curiously.

In the hazy light, Gu Xinian's face flickered, and an inexplicable coldness flashed in his eyes: "In the previous life, at this time next year, the emperor was seriously ill, and he couldn't afford it. The third prince at that time was already pregnant. The crown prince has been acting as an agent of the government during the emperor's illness. In less than half a year, the emperor passed away, and the third prince also became the new emperor as a matter of course."

His tone was very indifferent, but Ye Qinglan could hear something strange: "What kind of disease did the emperor suffer from? Why did he die without sustaining it for more than half a year? There are so many highly skilled imperial physicians gathered in the palace, and The most precious and rare medicinal materials in the world are all available in the imperial palace. Even if you are seriously ill, you should be able to delay it for two more years. Could it be that someone has done something to it..."

Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips, neither saying yes nor no: "I don't know about that either."

"Hey, you said before that you would never let me think about it again!" Ye Qinglan glared at him dissatisfied: "You also said that no matter what I want to know, I will know everything! But now you are starting to hide it again. I don't tell the truth..."

Gu Xinian smiled helplessly: "I didn't lie to you this time, I really don't know. At that time, the third prince had already started to act as an agent of the government, with all the power, whether it was in the court or in the palace, it was all under him. Under control. He has long been wary of me, and he has refused to discuss private matters with me. I really don't know whether he has played tricks in secret. "

Ye Qinglan looked him over carefully, and after confirming that what he said was the truth, she began to think again: "You don't know, but you also have secret suspicions, right?"

Having such a smart wife, I really don't know whether to be proud or have a headache.

Gu Xinian didn't know that the corners of his lips were raised, and he didn't know that his eyes were full of pride.Looking at that beautiful face exuding crystal light, a familiar commotion rose in my heart... (to be continued...)
