The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back
Chapter 171
Chapter 171
As soon as Jing Se walked out of Qianqing Palace, she met Gu Beiyu and Concubine Shu who came in a hurry.
Seeing Jing Se, Gu Beiyu was a little surprised, "Cousin, why did you come to Qianqing Palace so early in the morning?"
Jing Se said: "The emperor asked Eunuch Sun to summon me to see a doctor."
Hearing this, Gu Beiyu suddenly became nervous and lowered his voice, "Cousin, how do you think?"
Jing Se shook her head with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu immediately turned pale, "Girl Se, tell me honestly, is the emperor already terminally ill?"
"Not only is he terminally ill, but even his body functions are slowly declining right now."
Concubine Shu turned pale in shock, "What do you mean?"
Jing Se said without changing his face: "The emperor can't speak now, his heart function is not good, the muscles on his wrists have shrunk, and he can't even hold a teacup."
Concubine Shu was completely frightened and softened, she murmured, "How could this happen?"
Looking at Gu Beiyu, Concubine Shu said: "You were fine a few days ago, why did your father become like this when you came back from the paddock?"
Gu Beiyu looked embarrassed, "Mother, concubine, when father went to the paddock, my son was recuperating in the palace, so he didn't know what happened in the paddock."
Concubine Shu looked at Jing Se again, eager to hear something different from her.
Jing Se said: "Actually, it's not all to blame for falling off the horse in the paddock. In the final analysis, the emperor himself has a heart disease. Heart disease has always been cured only by heart medicine. Please forgive me for being powerless."
Concubine Shu was heartbroken, "Bei Yu, let's go see the emperor."
Jing Se hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has already rested, so it's inappropriate to disturb him at this time."
Concubine Shu frowned, "It's only morning, didn't you just wake up?"
"The emperor is seriously ill, so it is naturally different from us ordinary people." Jing Se slowly explained, "What's more, he is not a common illness, he vomits blood whenever he gets angry, I must have heard about it, and now he can only drink some soup Hanging my last breath, as for whether I can recover, I really can't guarantee it."
Gu Beiyu glanced at Concubine Shu's expression, and felt a dull pain in his heart. He knew that his mother and concubine loved his father, but his father had done many unconscionable things that he never liked. What he couldn't bear the most was that his father He set up a scheme to kill Fan Shizi. For this alone, he would never forgive him for the rest of his life.
But he was also very sad to see his mother and concubine sad.
"Mother and concubine, everyone has their own destiny. This may be the fate of the emperor. What's the use of being sad?"
Concubine Shu raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, "That's your royal father, how could you say that about him?"
Gu Beiyu immediately shut up.
If he continued, he would definitely quarrel because of his father and mother.
Jing Se said: "Your Majesty, what the third prince said is not unreasonable, although everyone usually talks about nice words like 'Long live the emperor', but who dares to feel the conscience and say that the emperor can live to be [-] years old? It’s just that everyone has formed the habit of fearing power. When facing superiors, they all look up to them to compliment them and deceive themselves and others. As long as they are human, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death, and there will be a day when life ends. The difference lies in the length of time. The emperor has been in charge of the country for decades, and it is normal to suffer from overwork. Whoever sits on the dragon chair is not shouldering the burden of the people of the world and the beautiful rivers and mountains. In fact, being an emperor is more tiring than anyone else. Even if you are sick, take advantage of this opportunity Take a good rest and dissipate the fatigue accumulated over the past few decades."
Concubine Shu was stunned by Jing Se's remarks.
In my impression, Jing Se is just a timid girl, especially after she was found pregnant six years ago, she suffered from depression for a while, and locked herself in the room all day long. At that time, Concubine Shu's mother Mrs. Jing also said that the child probably committed an offense because of a bad birthday.
Who would have expected that six years later, not only would she be born in a state of beauty, but her temperament would also undergo a complete turnaround. She is smart and eloquent.
"Mother Concubine, you go back first." Seeing Concubine Shu in a daze, Gu Beiyu thought she was going to blame her cousin for her outspoken words, so she said first, "I have something to say to my cousin alone."
Concubine Shu came back to her senses, and returned to her palace after explaining a few words to Gu Beiyu.
Gu Beiyu pulled Jing Se to a place where no one was around, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, tell me the truth, is your father responsible for being so seriously ill?"
Jing Se looked at him, "If I say yes, do you believe it?"
Gu Beiyu suddenly became serious, "My cousin has saved my life, and besides, I..." I didn't dare to say the word "like", but Gu Beiyu immediately changed his words, "My belief is to support your belief. If you can relieve your anger, I will support you unconditionally."
When Gu Beiyu said this, Jing Se was moved, "Why don't you stand by your mother and concubine? After all, the one lying in Qianqing Palace is your biological father."
"I will help the manager but not the relative." Gu Beiyu said: "As long as I have done something utterly devoid of conscience, not to mention that he is my father, even my mother and concubine, I will stand against her without hesitation."
Jing Se's eyes flickered slightly, "You just said that I have saved your life? When did it happen?"
Gu Beiyu said: "When we went to dig up the body of Fan Shizi together, you firmly refused to let me come back to report the funeral."
Jingse raised her eyebrows.
"Later, when I was in a coma, I heard my father say this in my ear: third child, you are really my good son! At that time, I suddenly realized that it is wisest for my cousin not to let me come back to report the funeral The choice, because my father has never trusted me. That time I was asked to go to Huating Mountain to take someone to dig up the corpse, but he only regarded me as a touchstone. My father is very suspicious, and he rarely believes wholeheartedly. For a single person, even for all his concubines and even all his children, he is somewhat wary."
After hearing these words, Jing Se suddenly felt relieved. It seems that she did not choose Gu Beiyu in vain. He has been growing up slowly. Although it is still a bit slow, it is better than being under the wing of Concubine Shu all day long and ignorant of world affairs. Much stronger.
The two sat down in the octagonal pavilion.
"Bei Yu, if the emperor dies, who do you think he will pass the throne to?"
Jing Se asked a question.
Gu Beiyu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then analyzed carefully, "First of all, it cannot be the prince."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Jing Se didn't expect him to give such an unexpected statement.
Gu Beiyu said: "I occasionally learned that the prince's position in the East Palace was obtained by a mysterious staff and military adviser. Although I don't know who he hired to help him seize the position, this alone is enough to explain He's not that good himself, that's one of them."
"Secondly, the change in the Yanshan Palace that day was planned by me and Prince Fan to invite you into the urn. The purpose was to kill three birds with one stone, so that the second prince can find an upright opportunity to force the palace to pass on the throne, and also make Gu Qian can't wait. After rushing back from Mobei, Governor Bo came forward to testify against the secret letter, so that Gu Gan left a bad impression of "he had a different heart" in my father's heart, and finally I came forward to clean up the mess. They are closely intertwined, so in the end, Gu Gan really made my father wary, and he kept on guard against him after returning to Beijing. This time, if my father was not seriously ill, it would be impossible for the crown prince to supervise him anyway. country."
Jing Se smiled, "Go on."
"Since the prince is impossible, then the fifth prince and I are even more impossible. When my father hosted a banquet in person, the fifth prince fell into the trap of the second prince and was revealed to have sent an assassin to assassinate my father. Later, my father also ordered him to be released from the prison, but the fifth prince was involved in the case after all, and he had done a lot of tricks in private. It is impossible for my father not to know about these things. Since he knew, he must have He became deeply wary of the fifth prince. As for me, although everyone thinks that besides the prince, I am the prince who has the highest reputation for the position of crown prince and is also the prince who is most favored by my father. But in fact, my father has always only Taking me as the touchstone of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, perhaps in his heart, I am the most ambitious prince, so the chance of passing the throne to me is almost zero."
Jing Se said: "According to what you said, he doesn't intend to pass the throne to anyone?"
"No!" Gu Beiyu said: "I have always had a guess. I always feel that my father and emperor may pass the throne to the emperor's eldest grandson with a [-]% chance."
Jing Se was startled, Gu Beiyu could directly think of Gu Zizhan, the eldest grandson of the emperor?
It seems that I still underestimated his mind.
"How do you say that?" Jing Se pretended to be puzzled.
Gu Beiyu said: "Cousin, don't you think the Second Prince's way of handling the palace change is strange?"
Jingse nodded, as a tacit consent.
The second prince forced the palace, and in the end only the second prince died, not even the second concubine and Jin's government were implicated. At the beginning, Jing Se had guessed two reasons.
First, Emperor Taihe considered that the Duke of Jin's government held 30 military power and was an iron warrior of the country. Once the second prince and concubine had troubles, the Duke of Jin's government would not let it go.
Second, the second concubine gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Gu family, who was also the first grandson of Emperor Taihe.
Judging from the information peeped on the roof last night, Jing Se guessed the second one.
The reason why Emperor Taihe didn't move the second prince and concubine was because this little grandson, who was only one and a half years old, wanted to surpass the prince's generation and directly establish the emperor's grandson.
"My father should have set his mind on the eldest grandson of the emperor." Gu Beiyu said: "So only the second prince died in the Yanshan Palace Change, and the family behind him was not involved, whether it was the mother's family or the wife's family. Safe and sound."
After thinking for a moment, Jing Se said: "According to what you said, if the emperor wants to directly establish the grandson of the emperor, wouldn't it be easy to be opposed by the courtiers? The grandson of the emperor is only one and a half years old, and he has just learned how to speak and walk. Yes, his little head can't even bear the weight of the crown, what can he bear?"
Gu Beiyu said: "Since ancient times, the young emperor has been assisted by a regent king. I think that if the father wants to pass on the young emperor, he will probably follow this model."
Jing Se said with a smile: "In this way, wouldn't it be an endless loop again? His princes are all scheming against each other. No matter who it is, once they become the regent, they will definitely dominate the court and emptied the imperial power. Seizing the heir is even more terrifying."
Gu Beiyu frowned, "I also have doubts about this point, but I always feel that my father will not let us brothers take power so easily, he must still have a plan, but I can't figure out his plan. Just thoughts."
Jing Se fell into memory, she remembered the strange behavior of seeing Su Xun crying last night while receiving the Bi Zhaoshu, could this be the back trick left by Emperor Taihe?
But Su Xun is just a small and weak woman. She can neither rule the country with literature nor rule the world with martial arts. What kind of hidden role did she play in the whole process of establishing the crown prince?
After seeing off Gu Beiyu, the guards around Xiaoqi came over, saying that King Ning invited Princess Qingping to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.
Everyone lives in the palace together, and King Ning and Princess Qingping are unmarried couples, so it is not too much to invite them to enjoy the flowers together.
Jing Se smiled knowingly, how could Fan Chen really invite her to enjoy the flowers, he must be looking for her for something important.
*
When he came to the Royal Garden, Fan Chen had already sat on the high stargazing platform.
Jing Se immediately guessed that the reason why Fan Chen chose such a high place was to avoid the hidden guards of the palace from overhearing their conversation.
Lifting the hem of the skirt and going up the stairs, Jing Se glanced around, and asked in a low voice when she saw no one, "Why did you suddenly find me?"
Fan Shen smiled, "Please sit down."
Jing Se sat down opposite him and raised her head. When she saw his white chin like jade, her heart beat faster and her face turned red, "Um... where were we... last night?"
She didn't need to think about it, she knew that in that situation, he must have helped her detoxify, but how it happened, she couldn't remember at all.
As soon as Fan Chen heard it, he knew that she was unconscious because of taking too much love potion last night, and she forgot all about it after waking up this morning.
"It's okay." He said, "On the tree."
Count... on the tree? !
This is okay?
Jing Se immediately covered half of her burning face.
"The you from last night..." Fan Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip quietly, and added, "I am impressed."
This is right, I am anxious to death.
Jing Se was even more ashamed.
tree!On the tree!How did that work out?
Although she was a little excited when she thought about it, she was drugged last night after all, so she must have done a lot of shameful behaviors, otherwise she wouldn't have impressed him.
Thinking of this, Jing Se was ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily: "You must not remember what happened last night, otherwise I won't touch you in the future."
"It was obviously you who took the initiative last night. Well, it can be summed up in four words, ecstasy."
"You still say!" Jing Se slapped the table, blushing, "Can't you show me some face?"
"If this kind of thing is too face-saving, how can you feel it?" He didn't seem to stop, and every sentence he said was more and more explicit, and each sentence made her blush and heartbeat more and more.
Jing Se covered her face with her hands this time, and said in a low voice, "If you say any more, I'll just leave."
This threat is more effective, Fan Chen really stopped teasing her, raised his eyebrows, "You are very bold today, not only exposed your identity, but also directly abolished the old emperor."
Jing Se lowered her arms, the flush on her face gradually receded, and she said seriously: "There are dying people on the left and right, I'll just give him a ride."
With a coquettish smile, Jing Se said: "I know that your people must have hidden in the dark and helped me avoid a lot of trouble, otherwise how would I dare to attack the emperor?"
"It's rare that you still remember my kindness." Fan Chen smiled, "But this kind of thing is very dangerous, you must discuss it with me in advance, and you must not act without authorization, otherwise if you are discovered, in case I have no time to protect you, Don’t I have to watch you die with my own eyes?”
"Well, I got it." Jing Se nodded, slandering in her heart, in fact, she didn't think about revealing her identity today, she just wanted to use Huo Chiwei as a fuss to stimulate the old emperor, but when it came to Huo Chiwei, she couldn't help it Remembering that it was because of Taihedi, an old and cunning thing, that she and Fanchen separated for four months, and they were not yet married, so they had to be sneaky even to meet each other, so she couldn't hold back, and simply stimulated him all at once. thorough.
"You came to me today because of this?"
"That's one of them." Fan Chen said, "I'm really looking for you because of another thing."
Jing se listened with straight ears.
Fan Chen asked her: "Do you still remember the letter of succession that the second concubine received from Emperor Taihe last night?"
"Of course I remember." Jing Se nodded, "And it's very profound. I still can't forget the way Su Xun cried while receiving the edict."
"I haven't seen the imperial edict." Fan Shen said, "But I roughly guessed why Su Xun cried."
Jingse blinked.
Fan Shen said: "Emperor Taihe probably wants to have a son and kill his mother."
Jing Se was startled, her eyes widened.
"Behind Su Xun is the entire Duke of Jin, holding 30 military power. This is a very powerful relative. Once the emperor's grandson is established, it means that a powerful relative has been added to the Gu family. From the perspective of the superior , This is extremely dangerous, so Emperor Taihe can only choose to establish a son and kill his mother. The emperor's eldest grandson is only one and a half years old now, as long as his mother dies, he will cut off all opportunities to communicate with the Duke of Jin, even if he grows up in the future If you don't, you won't have much friendship with the Duke of Jin's mansion, so the relatives of the Duke of Jin's mansion are like nothing, just an empty shell."
Jing Se contacted back and forth, and found that Fan Chen's analysis was very reasonable, because in this way, it can completely explain why Su Xun still cried after receiving the letter of transmission.
If her son can become emperor in the future, the price is that she must die. She should be reluctant to part with her child and her own life.
Thinking of this, Jing Se sighed quietly, "It's true that the power is supreme. Those who have no rights can only wait for the strong to decide their fate. Although it is cruel, this is not the best way to keep the Duke of Jin. "
If Su Xun does not die, then sooner or later the Duke of Jin's mansion will follow the path of the Duke of Chu's mansion because of the fear of the superiors, and it will decline repeatedly, and finally the whole family will decline.
"That's right." Jing Se suddenly recalled the encounter with Gu Beiyu earlier, "Since you can guess what is written in the Biography of the Emperor, can you also guess who Emperor Taihe will make regent?"
Fan Chen asked instead, "What do you think?"
"I guessed someone." Jing Se hesitated, "but I can't be sure."
"Who?"
"King Yong."
"You mean the old prince who has been fighting for women's rights since the late emperor's time?"
"Yes." Jing Se nodded, "It was King Yong who persuaded the first emperor to establish a women's official school. He is the second emperor's uncle of Emperor Taihe. It is now over seventy years old. Of course, he can't come out to regent again. I mean King Yong His descendants, his grandson, the little prince Gu He, although he doesn't show up often, he is talented and resourceful. He is a rare talent. It is the wisest choice to be the regent to assist the young emperor, as long as Emperor Taihe has a brain, he will definitely abandon all his sons and make Gu He the regent."
After Jing Se finished speaking, she found that Fan Chen had been staring at her.
She hastily stretched out her hand to touch her face, a little confused, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Fan smiled lowly, "This time, I really lost to you."
Jing Se frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Because I didn't expect the person you mentioned." Fan Chen replied truthfully, "Now it seems that your analysis is very likely."
It turned out that Fan Chen never thought that the Gu family clan would have such a talented young prince?
Jing Se suddenly felt a sense of pride that he finally won a game.
"It's rare to win a game with you, I want a reward." Jing Se stretched out her hand and threatened with a smile, "Don't think about that, I don't want that!"
By the way, Fan Chen held her extended hand in his own, and said solemnly: "I didn't force you last night, you asked for it on my own initiative, and I couldn't stop it, do you want to hear the details?"
Jing Se's smile stopped, and she gnashed her teeth, "Are you sure you want to talk about such a disappointing topic on this occasion?"
Fan Shen raised his eyebrows and returned to the subject, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"what can you give me?"
"As long as I have it, as long as you want it, I will give it to you." Fan Chen smiled, "Even if I don't have it, I will find a way to have it, because you want it."
Feeling warm, Jing Se asked, "Really?"
"Well, really."
Jing Se touched her chin, "It's rare to have this opportunity, I have to think about what I want, and I can't take it too cheap for you."
Fan Chen let go of her hand, "Then you think about it slowly, and then tell me when you think about it."
The two didn't sit for a long time before they left in different directions.
On the way, Jingse met two people who came to visit Emperor Taihe in a hurry: Princess Qinghe and Princess Jiahua.
In my impression, it was the first time that Jing Se saw these two people appearing at the same time.
She bowed her knees and saluted the two.
Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe paused at the same time.
Princess Jiahua's elder smile was all over her face, "Girl Se, are you still used to living in the palace these two days?"
Knowing that this bitch was going to marry, Princess Jiahua was so happy that she was finally able to express her anger for her daughter.
"Princess Lao is concerned, it's okay."
Jingse looked pale.
"You are Father's new concubine Princess Qingping?" Princess Qinghe raised her chin with a look of arrogance and contempt.
"Yes." Jing Se replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"She is a beauty." Princess Qinghe suddenly covered her lips and smiled, "I heard that King Donglining looks ugly, so he dare not show his true colors." Walking over to pat Jingse on the shoulder, Princess Qinghe raised her eyebrows, "My dear Sister Huang, after you get married, remember to blow out the lights when you do that kind of thing, so as not to be embarrassed by that face, hahaha!"
These words relieved hatred, Princess Jiahua's eyes were full of color, she pretended to give Princess Qinghe a look, "Qinghe, Qingping is still your imperial sister, why are you so indifferent to what you say?"
Princess Qinghe's smile became more wanton and contemptuous, "Aunt Huang, I didn't dare to do anything to Huang Jie, but I just wanted to remind her of the issues that she should pay attention to after she gets married. I am obviously concerned, why don't I know the severity? That kind of thing is inherently ugly, if the man on top of her is even uglier, which woman would still have the appetite? Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Huang is here to get married, even if she is a princess, she can't be as casual as Ben Gong Choosing a beautiful man, no matter how ugly or unappetizing the other party is, she has to accept it obediently, tsk tsk, it's hard to imagine the scene of such an overpowering beauty having fun under an ugly man, that's really... violent gone."
Looking at Jingse with a smile again, Princess Qinghe said: "But Miss Huang, don't worry too much. It's the same thing, once the candle is extinguished and blown out."
These words can not be said to be blatant, nor can they be said to be bold.
The only woman who dared to utter such obscene words in broad daylight without red heart or beating her heart, was Princess Qinghe, who had countless faces in the mansion.
Princess Jiahua was almost full of praise for Princess Qinghe. If any woman heard such words, her face would turn red with anger, and she might even cry.
As long as Jing Se dares to get angry, the aunt and nephew will have a reason to deal with this little bitch Jing Se severely.
However, when Princess Jiahua glanced at Jingse from the corner of her eye, she saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, showing no signs of life.
Princess Jiahua couldn't help being taken aback, and Jing Se's voice was heard in her ear, "As the saying goes, one radish has one hole. If there are too many radishes, the hole is easy to be crushed. If you don't pay attention to cleaning, it is easy to grow maggots. Royal sister, Do you think I'm right?"
The smile on Princess Qinghe's face froze, and her face darkened instantly, "What did you say!"
Why couldn't Princess Qinghe hear this kind of accusation against Sang Huai?
She thought that only she dared to say such explicit words. No matter how dissatisfied Jing Se was, she could only blush with anger and had nothing to do with herself. Unexpectedly, Jing Se would dare to openly satirize her and use such dissolute words and deeds!
Princess Jiahua was also startled, she squinted her eyes and looked at Jingse.
Jing Se sneered coldly, "Imperial Sister thinks what I'm talking about, that's what it is, some words, if you make it clear, it won't sound good, and everyone's faces don't look good, what do you think?"
Princess Qinghe pulled out a golden vine whip from nowhere, she shook it twice in her hand, her face was extremely ugly, but there was a cruel smile in her eyes, "I'm not as stupid as Danyang to hit you directly, Ben This golden vine whip in the palace's hand is a gift from the emperor, and it can be used to beat princes and princesses, and it can be used to punish ordinary people." The tone came sharply and coldly, "Jingse, kneel down to me!"
Jing Se took a look at the golden vine whip in her hand, it did have the imperial gift mark on it.
Jing Se sneered in her heart, how stupid is Emperor Taihe?He didn't believe his own son, but spoiled Princess Qinghe, a brainless daughter with high self-esteem. In her opinion, Gu Xiaoxiao was ten times better than Princess Qinghe.
"Kneel down!" Seeing that Jingse was indifferent, Princess Qinghe yelled again.
Jing Se looked at her coldly, "In what capacity do you make me kneel?"
Princess Qinghe seemed to have heard the big joke, "I am a princess of the orthodox blood of the royal family, and this alone is enough to make you prostrate at the feet of this palace. You are just a dead ghost who went to Dongli to get married. What kind of princess are you? Just dream!"
After finishing speaking, Princess Qinghe couldn't wait for Jingse to kneel down, so she raised her hand and waved the golden vine whip, and the whip slammed twice in the air before greeting Jingse.
At this time, a petite figure suddenly ran out of the slanting stab, and hugged Jing Se, blocking Princess Qinghe's whip for her.
The sound of the whip hitting the flesh and the cry of pain reached Jingse's ears instantly.
She shrunk her eyes and lowered her head, and found that the person hugging her was the little princess Gu Xiaoxiao.
Princess Qinghe obviously didn't expect such an accident, she stopped, and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao angrily, "Gu Xiaoxiao, are you tired of working? How dare you stop this princess from punishing that bitch!"
The corners of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched in pain, she slowly let go of Jing Se and turned around, looking up at Princess Qinghe, "Sister Qinghe, Sister Qingping, she is going to Dongli to marry the princess, if you fight like this, just in case Hurt her, how will I explain to His Royal Highness King Ning in a while?"
"Gu Xiaoxiao!" Princess Qinghe was furious, "How dare you meddle in my affairs?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "I just want to remind Sister Huang that whether Dongli and Xiqin can avoid the war depends entirely on this marriage. If Sister Huang insists on fighting, then I will not stop her."
Gu Xiaoxiao wisely did not directly attack Princess Qinghe, but used the friendship between the two countries as an example, and successfully deterred Princess Qinghe.
Princess Qinghe had nowhere to vent her anger, she raised the whip in her hand again, and said: "Since you like being blocked by others so much, then you will replace her!"
After finishing speaking, he exerted force on his wrist, and the whip slammed down after a whistling sound.
"Hey, Princess Qinghe's handling of things like this is probably inappropriate."
At this time, a slender and white hand suddenly stretched out from the side, holding the golden rattan whip between two fingers.
Jing Se looked along, and the owner of this hand was Yin Xiangsi, Princess Zhaoran.
Hitting someone was blocked one after another. Princess Qinghe was so angry that her face was livid. She tilted her head and saw that the person who came was Princess Zhaoran, and her fingers holding the golden vine whip were tightened. What are you doing here?"
Yin Xiangsi raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Princess Qinghe is going to punish her unmarried concubine on behalf of the princess' righteous brother, Prince Ning. How can I, a sister-in-law, remain indifferent? Naturally, I want to see Princess Qinghe's methods."
Letting go of the golden rattan whip, Yin Xiangsi took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe his hands, sat down on a stone bench beside him, and said to Princess Qinghe, "Do it, I'll watch you fight."
The irony of Yin Xiangsi's previous words was obvious. Princess Qinghe dared to beat King Ning and directly hit the concubine he was about to marry.
How could Princess Qinghe dare to make a move now, her chest was congested, but she didn't dare to attack Yin Xiangsi, her face became even more ugly.
"Why, you're so cowardly?" Yin Xiangsi was a person who had been in the rivers and lakes, and she spoke straightforwardly, which was different from the coy and coy attitude of a lady, who insisted on words.
"You!" Princess Qinghe was furious, with veins twitching on her forehead.
"My princess speaks straight." Yin Xiangsi raised her lips, "If Princess Qinghe admits she is cowardly, then leave as soon as possible, if she does not admit it, then do it, don't raise your eyebrows here, it's scary, my eyes hurt when I look at it."
"Yin Xiangsi!" Princess Qinghe finally couldn't hold back any longer, and yelled, "Don't bully others with your strength!"
"Whose power did I rely on?" Yin Xiangsi's tone was full of sarcasm, "Is it the favor of Emperor Taihe or the noble status of a princess?"
This is to say in disguise that it is Princess Qinghe who is bullying others.
Princess Jiahua realized that something was wrong, she quickly tugged on Princess Qinghe's sleeve, and whispered: "Qinghe, let's go, don't make this a big deal."
Princess Qinghe stood still, with the anger still on her face, "Didn't Aunt Huang hear that? If I leave here, it means I've given up. It's a joke! I'm a dignified princess, is she afraid of a little princess?" No?"
Yin Xiangsi heard these words verbatim, and came over with a smiling voice, "My princess also thinks that Princess Qinghe is a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and she should not admit cowardice to me, a princess. Then, please hurry up." Some hands-on, my patience is limited."
"Yin Xiangsi, do you really think that I dare not fight Jingse?" Princess Qinghe glared at her angrily.
Yin Xiangsi pursed her lips, "The whip in Princess Qinghe's hands can not only beat princes and princesses, but also punish the people on the street. With such a fearless treasure in hand, I certainly believe that you dare to do it, so please start your performance." , I will wait and see."
Princess Qinghe once again squeezed the golden rattan whip in her hand.
Princess Jiahua was shocked and persuaded: "Qinghe, the overall situation is the most important thing. You must not be provoked by her and really attack Jingse, otherwise something serious will happen."
Princess Qinghe gritted her teeth again and again. She didn't know that things had gone beyond her expectations. Originally, she just wanted to punish Jing Se a little, but Yin Xiangsi would suddenly intervene.
If this matter is handled well, everyone will be able to live in peace. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the friendship between the two countries. At that time, she, a princess, will not be able to resist it.
"Qinghe, admit your mistake to Princess Zhaoran and Princess Qingping!" Not far away, Gu Gan's voice came.
Everyone followed the prestige and saw him in a bright yellow python robe slowly approaching with his hands behind his back, with an unprecedented solemn expression on his face.
"Brother Prince." Seeing Gu Gan, Princess Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, put away the golden rattan whip calmly, and walked over to greet him.
"What are you trying to do?" Gu Gan glanced at Princess Qinghe, frowning deeply.
Princess Qinghe is not as stupid as Princess Danyang, she will only complain blindly, this woman has some brains, she only changed her words after a little thought, "Sister Chen and Princess Zhaoran are playing here, It's just a few words of confusion because of the verbal disagreement, it's not a big deal."
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Yin Xiangsi looked over, with a smile on his face, "The Princess also heard that Princess Qinghe wanted to beat the Princess's sister-in-law."
Princess Qinghe looked back at her, "Princess Zhaoran only heard about it, but have you ever seen with your own eyes how this palace treats her?"
Yin Xiangsi smiled but said nothing.
Gu Gan looked at Jing Se who had been standing quietly not far away, pursed his lips slightly, "Do you want to be okay?"
Jing Se remained expressionless, without even looking at Gu Gan, she supported Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first, Xiaoxiao's injury is important."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Gan's response, Jing Se directly supported Gu Xiaoxiao and walked towards the Palace of Xiefang.
Looking at her clear and indifferent back, Gu Gan felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
After Jingse left, Yin Xiangsi didn't feel like staying any longer, too lazy to care about the nephews, Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe, and quickly followed Jingse's footsteps.
"Sister-in-law." Yin Xiangsi called out.
Jing Se didn't stop, she didn't turn around, "What's the matter with Princess Zhaoran?"
Yin Xiangsi handed her a small porcelain bottle, and said, "This is medicine for golden sores, specially added some rare herbs, it is much more effective than ordinary medicine for golden sores, you can use this for her later."
Jing Se took it and said, "Thank you."
Yin Xiangsi smiled lowly, "We're going to be a family soon, so why be so polite?"
It's not that Jing Se is alien to Yin Xiangsi, but because Gu Xiaoxiao is present, she can't be too enthusiastic, lest someone who cares will look at her and make a fuss about it.
Yin Xiangsi also roughly guessed the reason why Jing Se didn't talk to her more, she said: "Then I'll be leaving now, if you need anything later, you can send someone to come to the bedroom to find me, I'll go back to catch up on sleep first .”
Catch up on sleep?
Jing Se thought about it, did this girl not sleep well last night?Or did you leave the palace at night to do other things?
No longer thinking too deeply, Jing Se said goodbye to her and walked straight forward.
"Xiaoxiao, there's no need for you to come out and block for me." Jing Se said.
"Sister Huang, you may not know that Qinghe's golden vine whip is a gift from the emperor. Once you really hit it, you can't hide it no matter what."
Jing Se smiled and shook her head, "I am Princess Heqin, and I stay in the palace to be married, not to be bullied and insulted at will, so what if she has a whip from the emperor, I have plenty of ways to make her unable to beat it, you If you rush out like this, you will only hurt yourself, are you stupid?"
Gu Xiaoxiao resisted the pain on her back, pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "You are the only girl I can talk about in this world, I took this whip for you, so that you can see that I want to make friends with you Sincerity, I don't lose."
Jing Se shook her head helplessly again, "What a little fool."
Back in Xiefang Hall, Jing Se asked Gu Xiaoxiao to lie on her bed, and she fetched cold boiled water to wash her wound, and then slowly poured the golden sore medicine given by Yin Xiangsi on the wound and gently spread it.
In the middle of the journey, Gu Xiaoxiao was sweating profusely from the pain, but she bit her lower lip so as not to make a sound.
"If it hurts, call it out." Jing Se said, "No one here will laugh at you."
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "It doesn't hurt. When I was young, I have experienced pain worse than this."
Jing Se paused when she applied the medicine, "When you were young, were you often bullied?"
Gu Xiaoxiao realized that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly stopped and kept silent.
"Since you regard me as a friend, it's okay to talk to me." Jing Se sat over, her eyes serious.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Are you really...willing to make friends with me?"
Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "It depends on your sincerity."
Full of excitement, Gu Xiaoxiao turned over and looked at her sideways, and said sadly: "My concubine mother is a singer. When she was young, she won the favor of my father with her good voice. Later, there was a time when my concubine mother lived The Jinghong Hall caught fire for no reason, and my mother and concubine's throat was choked by thick smoke, and she could no longer sing. From that day on, she lost the favor of my father and emperor, and at that time, my mother and concubine was already pregnant with me , She originally thought that my father would miss some old love because of her pregnancy, but my father didn't even give her any extra warmth."
"On the day my mother and concubine gave birth, the Ninth Prince happened to be born, but the birth mother of the Ninth Prince, Concubine Min, had a difficult delivery, so my royal father transferred all the stable women to deliver the baby. The palace lady went to my father to beg several times, but my father was indifferent. My mother and concubine were in despair when she found out. I can't see it, her hands and feet are jerky, she imitated the appearance of stable women and let my mother give birth hard. In the end, I don't know how long it took before my mother and concubine finally gave birth to me. In the days after that, my father and emperor never went to see Passed her. My mother and concubine suffered from chronic illnesses due to excessive depression and excessive tears during the confinement period, and now she is just a medicine jar, and she must drink medicine every day to maintain her vitality."
"It took only 13 years for my mother and concubine to go from a peerless singer who was admired by others to a sad and resentful woman who never sees the light of day in the deep palace. And I have seen all human nature in the 13 years I have lived in this world His selfishness and indifference make the world indifferent."
Jing Se patted her on the head, "Little girl, she's only 13 years old, how can you have so many emotions?"
Gu Xiaoxiao sniffed, "It's nothing, just talking casually."
Jing Se said: "After being bullied since childhood, you can still maintain a cheerful and optimistic heart. It's rare that you haven't been blinded by hatred and distorted your heart."
Gu Xiaoxiao spread her hands, "Of course I have hatred, but my status is humble, even if I have hatred in my heart, I don't have the ability to seek revenge from my brothers, sisters or even my father, instead of living in pain all day like them Then why don’t I be more cheerful, laughing and embarrassing them? I think, living in this scheming palace, the only thing I can do without any effort is probably to laugh.”
Gu Xiaoxiao's words made Jing Se feel very uncomfortable.
She is clearly only a 13-year-old girl, but she has seen through human nature early because of what she has experienced since childhood. To her, what kind of cruelty will be permanently imprinted in her soul?
When everyone hears the word "princess", the first word that comes to mind must be "golden branches and jade leaves", but this is not the case. The mother clan has no power, and the mother concubine is not favored. Even if she bears the title of princess, this place is full of intrigue In the rotten deep palace, maybe her life is not as good as that of an ordinary peasant girl.
"The medicine has been applied, and you can get up." Jing Se put away the small porcelain bottle and said with a smile.
She didn't want this little girl to fall into a sad mood again and infect herself.
The sadness in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes receded in an instant, she sat up straight immediately, her bright eyes flickered at Jing Se, "I've already confessed everything, now, can you treat me as a friend?"
"Of course." Jing Se touched her head, "Who made you an honest and good boy?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "That's because you are the one who is confessing, otherwise I will change someone else, and I will definitely not say a word."
Jing Se nodded, "I know." Then asked: "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Gu Xiaoxiao giggled.
"I won't be here in the future. If you encounter this kind of thing again, you have to learn to hide behind your third brother, and you can't rush forward and be beaten." Jing Se said earnestly: "13 years old, it should be held by relatives. The good years in the palm of your hand, the person who can hold you is not your father, but your third brother."
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. At such a big age, it was the first time she heard someone say that she should be held in the palm of someone's hand at her age. The concubine mother taught her to forbear, and the maids taught her to restrain her temper. Only this face in front of her A beautiful woman, she told herself that she should be loved.
Jing Se originally wanted Gu Xiaoxiao to learn some counter-attack methods, but on second thought, it's rare to meet such a pure-hearted child, so it's better not to stain her pure heart, as long as she can survive this period of time, she will wait When I come back from Dongli to formally confront Gu Qian, I will find a way to get her out to live an ordinary life, so that I don't have to stay in this palace that never sees the sun and let others bully me.

Royal Garden.
After Jing Se left, Gu Gan gradually withdrew his gaze, turned to Princess Qinghe, and said angrily, "You are too courageous!"
Princess Qinghe rolled her eyes secretly, "Brother Huang, why do you have to scold your imperial sister for a woman who is about to marry someone else?"
"You!" Gu Gan widened his eyes.
Princess Qinghe said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Sister Chen is from here, I can see that you have some thoughts on that woman, but I conclude that you must be in vain, so please calm down and think about how to please the emperor and pass on the throne to her." For you."
All Gu Qian's words were blocked. He knew that Qing He had a bad temper and was not stupid. She was clear about many things in her heart, but now that she had exposed her nakedly, Gu Qian felt a little offended.
Princess Jiahua interrupted suddenly, "You brothers and sisters, stop arguing over a shameless woman. Let's go to Qianqing Palace first to see how your father is doing."
Gu Qian finally found the steps, turned around, and said, "Aunt Huang is right, we are going to the Qianqing Palace, not here to bicker and quarrel."
Princess Jiahua took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is sick like this, you see, can you intercede for the emperor's aunt in front of him, avoid the punishment of Danyang, and let her come back early to serve the sick?"
Emperor Taihe has many concubines and children, even if he wants to wait for the sick, how can it be Princess Danyang's turn?
Gu Qian knew that it was Princess Jiahua who wanted to take the opportunity to bring Danyang back. He wanted to take the face of Princess Jiahua who saved him from the siege just now, but suddenly thought that Princess Danyang would give Danyang because he offended Jingse. The disaster he caused, he made a decisive decision, "Father is seriously ill, so it is not appropriate to work too much. If I mention this kind of thing to him in front of him now, it will not cause him trouble. Let's delay it for a while and wait until he recovers."
Princess Jiahua knew that Gu Gan was perfunctory her as soon as she heard it. She was full of resentment, but she dared not say it out, "Since this is the case, let's live a little longer. The prince must help the emperor's aunt."
Gu Qian smiled, "The imperial aunt asked me for something, how dare I shirk?"
A group of three came to Qianqing Palace.
Sun Dabao didn't dare to stop them and let them in.
Emperor Taihe was still in a coma, haggard and haggard, his face was blue-gray, he looked as if he had passed away, it was terrifying.
Lowering his voice, Gu Gan asked Sun Dabao, "My father hasn't woken up since last night?"
Sun Dabao said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor woke up in the morning, and then Princess Qingping came to see the doctor and had an injection, and the emperor fell asleep again."
Gu Qian's pupils narrowed sharply, "What did you say? Princess Qingping has come to see Father?"
Sun Dabao nodded, "Yes."
Clenching his fists tightly in Jinxiu, Gu Gan yelled: "Tell the imperial physician!"
Sun Dabao was puzzled, "The emperor once ordered that the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are too useless, so there is no need to come to Qianqing Palace, and I don't know why His Royal Highness summoned them in such a hurry?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Qianhan frowned, "If you tell me to go, go!"
He wanted to see what exactly that woman did to his father!
No two updates today^_^
(End of this chapter)
As soon as Jing Se walked out of Qianqing Palace, she met Gu Beiyu and Concubine Shu who came in a hurry.
Seeing Jing Se, Gu Beiyu was a little surprised, "Cousin, why did you come to Qianqing Palace so early in the morning?"
Jing Se said: "The emperor asked Eunuch Sun to summon me to see a doctor."
Hearing this, Gu Beiyu suddenly became nervous and lowered his voice, "Cousin, how do you think?"
Jing Se shook her head with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu immediately turned pale, "Girl Se, tell me honestly, is the emperor already terminally ill?"
"Not only is he terminally ill, but even his body functions are slowly declining right now."
Concubine Shu turned pale in shock, "What do you mean?"
Jing Se said without changing his face: "The emperor can't speak now, his heart function is not good, the muscles on his wrists have shrunk, and he can't even hold a teacup."
Concubine Shu was completely frightened and softened, she murmured, "How could this happen?"
Looking at Gu Beiyu, Concubine Shu said: "You were fine a few days ago, why did your father become like this when you came back from the paddock?"
Gu Beiyu looked embarrassed, "Mother, concubine, when father went to the paddock, my son was recuperating in the palace, so he didn't know what happened in the paddock."
Concubine Shu looked at Jing Se again, eager to hear something different from her.
Jing Se said: "Actually, it's not all to blame for falling off the horse in the paddock. In the final analysis, the emperor himself has a heart disease. Heart disease has always been cured only by heart medicine. Please forgive me for being powerless."
Concubine Shu was heartbroken, "Bei Yu, let's go see the emperor."
Jing Se hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has already rested, so it's inappropriate to disturb him at this time."
Concubine Shu frowned, "It's only morning, didn't you just wake up?"
"The emperor is seriously ill, so it is naturally different from us ordinary people." Jing Se slowly explained, "What's more, he is not a common illness, he vomits blood whenever he gets angry, I must have heard about it, and now he can only drink some soup Hanging my last breath, as for whether I can recover, I really can't guarantee it."
Gu Beiyu glanced at Concubine Shu's expression, and felt a dull pain in his heart. He knew that his mother and concubine loved his father, but his father had done many unconscionable things that he never liked. What he couldn't bear the most was that his father He set up a scheme to kill Fan Shizi. For this alone, he would never forgive him for the rest of his life.
But he was also very sad to see his mother and concubine sad.
"Mother and concubine, everyone has their own destiny. This may be the fate of the emperor. What's the use of being sad?"
Concubine Shu raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, "That's your royal father, how could you say that about him?"
Gu Beiyu immediately shut up.
If he continued, he would definitely quarrel because of his father and mother.
Jing Se said: "Your Majesty, what the third prince said is not unreasonable, although everyone usually talks about nice words like 'Long live the emperor', but who dares to feel the conscience and say that the emperor can live to be [-] years old? It’s just that everyone has formed the habit of fearing power. When facing superiors, they all look up to them to compliment them and deceive themselves and others. As long as they are human, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death, and there will be a day when life ends. The difference lies in the length of time. The emperor has been in charge of the country for decades, and it is normal to suffer from overwork. Whoever sits on the dragon chair is not shouldering the burden of the people of the world and the beautiful rivers and mountains. In fact, being an emperor is more tiring than anyone else. Even if you are sick, take advantage of this opportunity Take a good rest and dissipate the fatigue accumulated over the past few decades."
Concubine Shu was stunned by Jing Se's remarks.
In my impression, Jing Se is just a timid girl, especially after she was found pregnant six years ago, she suffered from depression for a while, and locked herself in the room all day long. At that time, Concubine Shu's mother Mrs. Jing also said that the child probably committed an offense because of a bad birthday.
Who would have expected that six years later, not only would she be born in a state of beauty, but her temperament would also undergo a complete turnaround. She is smart and eloquent.
"Mother Concubine, you go back first." Seeing Concubine Shu in a daze, Gu Beiyu thought she was going to blame her cousin for her outspoken words, so she said first, "I have something to say to my cousin alone."
Concubine Shu came back to her senses, and returned to her palace after explaining a few words to Gu Beiyu.
Gu Beiyu pulled Jing Se to a place where no one was around, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, tell me the truth, is your father responsible for being so seriously ill?"
Jing Se looked at him, "If I say yes, do you believe it?"
Gu Beiyu suddenly became serious, "My cousin has saved my life, and besides, I..." I didn't dare to say the word "like", but Gu Beiyu immediately changed his words, "My belief is to support your belief. If you can relieve your anger, I will support you unconditionally."
When Gu Beiyu said this, Jing Se was moved, "Why don't you stand by your mother and concubine? After all, the one lying in Qianqing Palace is your biological father."
"I will help the manager but not the relative." Gu Beiyu said: "As long as I have done something utterly devoid of conscience, not to mention that he is my father, even my mother and concubine, I will stand against her without hesitation."
Jing Se's eyes flickered slightly, "You just said that I have saved your life? When did it happen?"
Gu Beiyu said: "When we went to dig up the body of Fan Shizi together, you firmly refused to let me come back to report the funeral."
Jingse raised her eyebrows.
"Later, when I was in a coma, I heard my father say this in my ear: third child, you are really my good son! At that time, I suddenly realized that it is wisest for my cousin not to let me come back to report the funeral The choice, because my father has never trusted me. That time I was asked to go to Huating Mountain to take someone to dig up the corpse, but he only regarded me as a touchstone. My father is very suspicious, and he rarely believes wholeheartedly. For a single person, even for all his concubines and even all his children, he is somewhat wary."
After hearing these words, Jing Se suddenly felt relieved. It seems that she did not choose Gu Beiyu in vain. He has been growing up slowly. Although it is still a bit slow, it is better than being under the wing of Concubine Shu all day long and ignorant of world affairs. Much stronger.
The two sat down in the octagonal pavilion.
"Bei Yu, if the emperor dies, who do you think he will pass the throne to?"
Jing Se asked a question.
Gu Beiyu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then analyzed carefully, "First of all, it cannot be the prince."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Jing Se didn't expect him to give such an unexpected statement.
Gu Beiyu said: "I occasionally learned that the prince's position in the East Palace was obtained by a mysterious staff and military adviser. Although I don't know who he hired to help him seize the position, this alone is enough to explain He's not that good himself, that's one of them."
"Secondly, the change in the Yanshan Palace that day was planned by me and Prince Fan to invite you into the urn. The purpose was to kill three birds with one stone, so that the second prince can find an upright opportunity to force the palace to pass on the throne, and also make Gu Qian can't wait. After rushing back from Mobei, Governor Bo came forward to testify against the secret letter, so that Gu Gan left a bad impression of "he had a different heart" in my father's heart, and finally I came forward to clean up the mess. They are closely intertwined, so in the end, Gu Gan really made my father wary, and he kept on guard against him after returning to Beijing. This time, if my father was not seriously ill, it would be impossible for the crown prince to supervise him anyway. country."
Jing Se smiled, "Go on."
"Since the prince is impossible, then the fifth prince and I are even more impossible. When my father hosted a banquet in person, the fifth prince fell into the trap of the second prince and was revealed to have sent an assassin to assassinate my father. Later, my father also ordered him to be released from the prison, but the fifth prince was involved in the case after all, and he had done a lot of tricks in private. It is impossible for my father not to know about these things. Since he knew, he must have He became deeply wary of the fifth prince. As for me, although everyone thinks that besides the prince, I am the prince who has the highest reputation for the position of crown prince and is also the prince who is most favored by my father. But in fact, my father has always only Taking me as the touchstone of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, perhaps in his heart, I am the most ambitious prince, so the chance of passing the throne to me is almost zero."
Jing Se said: "According to what you said, he doesn't intend to pass the throne to anyone?"
"No!" Gu Beiyu said: "I have always had a guess. I always feel that my father and emperor may pass the throne to the emperor's eldest grandson with a [-]% chance."
Jing Se was startled, Gu Beiyu could directly think of Gu Zizhan, the eldest grandson of the emperor?
It seems that I still underestimated his mind.
"How do you say that?" Jing Se pretended to be puzzled.
Gu Beiyu said: "Cousin, don't you think the Second Prince's way of handling the palace change is strange?"
Jingse nodded, as a tacit consent.
The second prince forced the palace, and in the end only the second prince died, not even the second concubine and Jin's government were implicated. At the beginning, Jing Se had guessed two reasons.
First, Emperor Taihe considered that the Duke of Jin's government held 30 military power and was an iron warrior of the country. Once the second prince and concubine had troubles, the Duke of Jin's government would not let it go.
Second, the second concubine gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Gu family, who was also the first grandson of Emperor Taihe.
Judging from the information peeped on the roof last night, Jing Se guessed the second one.
The reason why Emperor Taihe didn't move the second prince and concubine was because this little grandson, who was only one and a half years old, wanted to surpass the prince's generation and directly establish the emperor's grandson.
"My father should have set his mind on the eldest grandson of the emperor." Gu Beiyu said: "So only the second prince died in the Yanshan Palace Change, and the family behind him was not involved, whether it was the mother's family or the wife's family. Safe and sound."
After thinking for a moment, Jing Se said: "According to what you said, if the emperor wants to directly establish the grandson of the emperor, wouldn't it be easy to be opposed by the courtiers? The grandson of the emperor is only one and a half years old, and he has just learned how to speak and walk. Yes, his little head can't even bear the weight of the crown, what can he bear?"
Gu Beiyu said: "Since ancient times, the young emperor has been assisted by a regent king. I think that if the father wants to pass on the young emperor, he will probably follow this model."
Jing Se said with a smile: "In this way, wouldn't it be an endless loop again? His princes are all scheming against each other. No matter who it is, once they become the regent, they will definitely dominate the court and emptied the imperial power. Seizing the heir is even more terrifying."
Gu Beiyu frowned, "I also have doubts about this point, but I always feel that my father will not let us brothers take power so easily, he must still have a plan, but I can't figure out his plan. Just thoughts."
Jing Se fell into memory, she remembered the strange behavior of seeing Su Xun crying last night while receiving the Bi Zhaoshu, could this be the back trick left by Emperor Taihe?
But Su Xun is just a small and weak woman. She can neither rule the country with literature nor rule the world with martial arts. What kind of hidden role did she play in the whole process of establishing the crown prince?
After seeing off Gu Beiyu, the guards around Xiaoqi came over, saying that King Ning invited Princess Qingping to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.
Everyone lives in the palace together, and King Ning and Princess Qingping are unmarried couples, so it is not too much to invite them to enjoy the flowers together.
Jing Se smiled knowingly, how could Fan Chen really invite her to enjoy the flowers, he must be looking for her for something important.
*
When he came to the Royal Garden, Fan Chen had already sat on the high stargazing platform.
Jing Se immediately guessed that the reason why Fan Chen chose such a high place was to avoid the hidden guards of the palace from overhearing their conversation.
Lifting the hem of the skirt and going up the stairs, Jing Se glanced around, and asked in a low voice when she saw no one, "Why did you suddenly find me?"
Fan Shen smiled, "Please sit down."
Jing Se sat down opposite him and raised her head. When she saw his white chin like jade, her heart beat faster and her face turned red, "Um... where were we... last night?"
She didn't need to think about it, she knew that in that situation, he must have helped her detoxify, but how it happened, she couldn't remember at all.
As soon as Fan Chen heard it, he knew that she was unconscious because of taking too much love potion last night, and she forgot all about it after waking up this morning.
"It's okay." He said, "On the tree."
Count... on the tree? !
This is okay?
Jing Se immediately covered half of her burning face.
"The you from last night..." Fan Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip quietly, and added, "I am impressed."
This is right, I am anxious to death.
Jing Se was even more ashamed.
tree!On the tree!How did that work out?
Although she was a little excited when she thought about it, she was drugged last night after all, so she must have done a lot of shameful behaviors, otherwise she wouldn't have impressed him.
Thinking of this, Jing Se was ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily: "You must not remember what happened last night, otherwise I won't touch you in the future."
"It was obviously you who took the initiative last night. Well, it can be summed up in four words, ecstasy."
"You still say!" Jing Se slapped the table, blushing, "Can't you show me some face?"
"If this kind of thing is too face-saving, how can you feel it?" He didn't seem to stop, and every sentence he said was more and more explicit, and each sentence made her blush and heartbeat more and more.
Jing Se covered her face with her hands this time, and said in a low voice, "If you say any more, I'll just leave."
This threat is more effective, Fan Chen really stopped teasing her, raised his eyebrows, "You are very bold today, not only exposed your identity, but also directly abolished the old emperor."
Jing Se lowered her arms, the flush on her face gradually receded, and she said seriously: "There are dying people on the left and right, I'll just give him a ride."
With a coquettish smile, Jing Se said: "I know that your people must have hidden in the dark and helped me avoid a lot of trouble, otherwise how would I dare to attack the emperor?"
"It's rare that you still remember my kindness." Fan Chen smiled, "But this kind of thing is very dangerous, you must discuss it with me in advance, and you must not act without authorization, otherwise if you are discovered, in case I have no time to protect you, Don’t I have to watch you die with my own eyes?”
"Well, I got it." Jing Se nodded, slandering in her heart, in fact, she didn't think about revealing her identity today, she just wanted to use Huo Chiwei as a fuss to stimulate the old emperor, but when it came to Huo Chiwei, she couldn't help it Remembering that it was because of Taihedi, an old and cunning thing, that she and Fanchen separated for four months, and they were not yet married, so they had to be sneaky even to meet each other, so she couldn't hold back, and simply stimulated him all at once. thorough.
"You came to me today because of this?"
"That's one of them." Fan Chen said, "I'm really looking for you because of another thing."
Jing se listened with straight ears.
Fan Chen asked her: "Do you still remember the letter of succession that the second concubine received from Emperor Taihe last night?"
"Of course I remember." Jing Se nodded, "And it's very profound. I still can't forget the way Su Xun cried while receiving the edict."
"I haven't seen the imperial edict." Fan Shen said, "But I roughly guessed why Su Xun cried."
Jingse blinked.
Fan Shen said: "Emperor Taihe probably wants to have a son and kill his mother."
Jing Se was startled, her eyes widened.
"Behind Su Xun is the entire Duke of Jin, holding 30 military power. This is a very powerful relative. Once the emperor's grandson is established, it means that a powerful relative has been added to the Gu family. From the perspective of the superior , This is extremely dangerous, so Emperor Taihe can only choose to establish a son and kill his mother. The emperor's eldest grandson is only one and a half years old now, as long as his mother dies, he will cut off all opportunities to communicate with the Duke of Jin, even if he grows up in the future If you don't, you won't have much friendship with the Duke of Jin's mansion, so the relatives of the Duke of Jin's mansion are like nothing, just an empty shell."
Jing Se contacted back and forth, and found that Fan Chen's analysis was very reasonable, because in this way, it can completely explain why Su Xun still cried after receiving the letter of transmission.
If her son can become emperor in the future, the price is that she must die. She should be reluctant to part with her child and her own life.
Thinking of this, Jing Se sighed quietly, "It's true that the power is supreme. Those who have no rights can only wait for the strong to decide their fate. Although it is cruel, this is not the best way to keep the Duke of Jin. "
If Su Xun does not die, then sooner or later the Duke of Jin's mansion will follow the path of the Duke of Chu's mansion because of the fear of the superiors, and it will decline repeatedly, and finally the whole family will decline.
"That's right." Jing Se suddenly recalled the encounter with Gu Beiyu earlier, "Since you can guess what is written in the Biography of the Emperor, can you also guess who Emperor Taihe will make regent?"
Fan Chen asked instead, "What do you think?"
"I guessed someone." Jing Se hesitated, "but I can't be sure."
"Who?"
"King Yong."
"You mean the old prince who has been fighting for women's rights since the late emperor's time?"
"Yes." Jing Se nodded, "It was King Yong who persuaded the first emperor to establish a women's official school. He is the second emperor's uncle of Emperor Taihe. It is now over seventy years old. Of course, he can't come out to regent again. I mean King Yong His descendants, his grandson, the little prince Gu He, although he doesn't show up often, he is talented and resourceful. He is a rare talent. It is the wisest choice to be the regent to assist the young emperor, as long as Emperor Taihe has a brain, he will definitely abandon all his sons and make Gu He the regent."
After Jing Se finished speaking, she found that Fan Chen had been staring at her.
She hastily stretched out her hand to touch her face, a little confused, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Fan smiled lowly, "This time, I really lost to you."
Jing Se frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Because I didn't expect the person you mentioned." Fan Chen replied truthfully, "Now it seems that your analysis is very likely."
It turned out that Fan Chen never thought that the Gu family clan would have such a talented young prince?
Jing Se suddenly felt a sense of pride that he finally won a game.
"It's rare to win a game with you, I want a reward." Jing Se stretched out her hand and threatened with a smile, "Don't think about that, I don't want that!"
By the way, Fan Chen held her extended hand in his own, and said solemnly: "I didn't force you last night, you asked for it on my own initiative, and I couldn't stop it, do you want to hear the details?"
Jing Se's smile stopped, and she gnashed her teeth, "Are you sure you want to talk about such a disappointing topic on this occasion?"
Fan Shen raised his eyebrows and returned to the subject, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"what can you give me?"
"As long as I have it, as long as you want it, I will give it to you." Fan Chen smiled, "Even if I don't have it, I will find a way to have it, because you want it."
Feeling warm, Jing Se asked, "Really?"
"Well, really."
Jing Se touched her chin, "It's rare to have this opportunity, I have to think about what I want, and I can't take it too cheap for you."
Fan Chen let go of her hand, "Then you think about it slowly, and then tell me when you think about it."
The two didn't sit for a long time before they left in different directions.
On the way, Jingse met two people who came to visit Emperor Taihe in a hurry: Princess Qinghe and Princess Jiahua.
In my impression, it was the first time that Jing Se saw these two people appearing at the same time.
She bowed her knees and saluted the two.
Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe paused at the same time.
Princess Jiahua's elder smile was all over her face, "Girl Se, are you still used to living in the palace these two days?"
Knowing that this bitch was going to marry, Princess Jiahua was so happy that she was finally able to express her anger for her daughter.
"Princess Lao is concerned, it's okay."
Jingse looked pale.
"You are Father's new concubine Princess Qingping?" Princess Qinghe raised her chin with a look of arrogance and contempt.
"Yes." Jing Se replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"She is a beauty." Princess Qinghe suddenly covered her lips and smiled, "I heard that King Donglining looks ugly, so he dare not show his true colors." Walking over to pat Jingse on the shoulder, Princess Qinghe raised her eyebrows, "My dear Sister Huang, after you get married, remember to blow out the lights when you do that kind of thing, so as not to be embarrassed by that face, hahaha!"
These words relieved hatred, Princess Jiahua's eyes were full of color, she pretended to give Princess Qinghe a look, "Qinghe, Qingping is still your imperial sister, why are you so indifferent to what you say?"
Princess Qinghe's smile became more wanton and contemptuous, "Aunt Huang, I didn't dare to do anything to Huang Jie, but I just wanted to remind her of the issues that she should pay attention to after she gets married. I am obviously concerned, why don't I know the severity? That kind of thing is inherently ugly, if the man on top of her is even uglier, which woman would still have the appetite? Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Huang is here to get married, even if she is a princess, she can't be as casual as Ben Gong Choosing a beautiful man, no matter how ugly or unappetizing the other party is, she has to accept it obediently, tsk tsk, it's hard to imagine the scene of such an overpowering beauty having fun under an ugly man, that's really... violent gone."
Looking at Jingse with a smile again, Princess Qinghe said: "But Miss Huang, don't worry too much. It's the same thing, once the candle is extinguished and blown out."
These words can not be said to be blatant, nor can they be said to be bold.
The only woman who dared to utter such obscene words in broad daylight without red heart or beating her heart, was Princess Qinghe, who had countless faces in the mansion.
Princess Jiahua was almost full of praise for Princess Qinghe. If any woman heard such words, her face would turn red with anger, and she might even cry.
As long as Jing Se dares to get angry, the aunt and nephew will have a reason to deal with this little bitch Jing Se severely.
However, when Princess Jiahua glanced at Jingse from the corner of her eye, she saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, showing no signs of life.
Princess Jiahua couldn't help being taken aback, and Jing Se's voice was heard in her ear, "As the saying goes, one radish has one hole. If there are too many radishes, the hole is easy to be crushed. If you don't pay attention to cleaning, it is easy to grow maggots. Royal sister, Do you think I'm right?"
The smile on Princess Qinghe's face froze, and her face darkened instantly, "What did you say!"
Why couldn't Princess Qinghe hear this kind of accusation against Sang Huai?
She thought that only she dared to say such explicit words. No matter how dissatisfied Jing Se was, she could only blush with anger and had nothing to do with herself. Unexpectedly, Jing Se would dare to openly satirize her and use such dissolute words and deeds!
Princess Jiahua was also startled, she squinted her eyes and looked at Jingse.
Jing Se sneered coldly, "Imperial Sister thinks what I'm talking about, that's what it is, some words, if you make it clear, it won't sound good, and everyone's faces don't look good, what do you think?"
Princess Qinghe pulled out a golden vine whip from nowhere, she shook it twice in her hand, her face was extremely ugly, but there was a cruel smile in her eyes, "I'm not as stupid as Danyang to hit you directly, Ben This golden vine whip in the palace's hand is a gift from the emperor, and it can be used to beat princes and princesses, and it can be used to punish ordinary people." The tone came sharply and coldly, "Jingse, kneel down to me!"
Jing Se took a look at the golden vine whip in her hand, it did have the imperial gift mark on it.
Jing Se sneered in her heart, how stupid is Emperor Taihe?He didn't believe his own son, but spoiled Princess Qinghe, a brainless daughter with high self-esteem. In her opinion, Gu Xiaoxiao was ten times better than Princess Qinghe.
"Kneel down!" Seeing that Jingse was indifferent, Princess Qinghe yelled again.
Jing Se looked at her coldly, "In what capacity do you make me kneel?"
Princess Qinghe seemed to have heard the big joke, "I am a princess of the orthodox blood of the royal family, and this alone is enough to make you prostrate at the feet of this palace. You are just a dead ghost who went to Dongli to get married. What kind of princess are you? Just dream!"
After finishing speaking, Princess Qinghe couldn't wait for Jingse to kneel down, so she raised her hand and waved the golden vine whip, and the whip slammed twice in the air before greeting Jingse.
At this time, a petite figure suddenly ran out of the slanting stab, and hugged Jing Se, blocking Princess Qinghe's whip for her.
The sound of the whip hitting the flesh and the cry of pain reached Jingse's ears instantly.
She shrunk her eyes and lowered her head, and found that the person hugging her was the little princess Gu Xiaoxiao.
Princess Qinghe obviously didn't expect such an accident, she stopped, and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao angrily, "Gu Xiaoxiao, are you tired of working? How dare you stop this princess from punishing that bitch!"
The corners of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched in pain, she slowly let go of Jing Se and turned around, looking up at Princess Qinghe, "Sister Qinghe, Sister Qingping, she is going to Dongli to marry the princess, if you fight like this, just in case Hurt her, how will I explain to His Royal Highness King Ning in a while?"
"Gu Xiaoxiao!" Princess Qinghe was furious, "How dare you meddle in my affairs?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "I just want to remind Sister Huang that whether Dongli and Xiqin can avoid the war depends entirely on this marriage. If Sister Huang insists on fighting, then I will not stop her."
Gu Xiaoxiao wisely did not directly attack Princess Qinghe, but used the friendship between the two countries as an example, and successfully deterred Princess Qinghe.
Princess Qinghe had nowhere to vent her anger, she raised the whip in her hand again, and said: "Since you like being blocked by others so much, then you will replace her!"
After finishing speaking, he exerted force on his wrist, and the whip slammed down after a whistling sound.
"Hey, Princess Qinghe's handling of things like this is probably inappropriate."
At this time, a slender and white hand suddenly stretched out from the side, holding the golden rattan whip between two fingers.
Jing Se looked along, and the owner of this hand was Yin Xiangsi, Princess Zhaoran.
Hitting someone was blocked one after another. Princess Qinghe was so angry that her face was livid. She tilted her head and saw that the person who came was Princess Zhaoran, and her fingers holding the golden vine whip were tightened. What are you doing here?"
Yin Xiangsi raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Princess Qinghe is going to punish her unmarried concubine on behalf of the princess' righteous brother, Prince Ning. How can I, a sister-in-law, remain indifferent? Naturally, I want to see Princess Qinghe's methods."
Letting go of the golden rattan whip, Yin Xiangsi took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe his hands, sat down on a stone bench beside him, and said to Princess Qinghe, "Do it, I'll watch you fight."
The irony of Yin Xiangsi's previous words was obvious. Princess Qinghe dared to beat King Ning and directly hit the concubine he was about to marry.
How could Princess Qinghe dare to make a move now, her chest was congested, but she didn't dare to attack Yin Xiangsi, her face became even more ugly.
"Why, you're so cowardly?" Yin Xiangsi was a person who had been in the rivers and lakes, and she spoke straightforwardly, which was different from the coy and coy attitude of a lady, who insisted on words.
"You!" Princess Qinghe was furious, with veins twitching on her forehead.
"My princess speaks straight." Yin Xiangsi raised her lips, "If Princess Qinghe admits she is cowardly, then leave as soon as possible, if she does not admit it, then do it, don't raise your eyebrows here, it's scary, my eyes hurt when I look at it."
"Yin Xiangsi!" Princess Qinghe finally couldn't hold back any longer, and yelled, "Don't bully others with your strength!"
"Whose power did I rely on?" Yin Xiangsi's tone was full of sarcasm, "Is it the favor of Emperor Taihe or the noble status of a princess?"
This is to say in disguise that it is Princess Qinghe who is bullying others.
Princess Jiahua realized that something was wrong, she quickly tugged on Princess Qinghe's sleeve, and whispered: "Qinghe, let's go, don't make this a big deal."
Princess Qinghe stood still, with the anger still on her face, "Didn't Aunt Huang hear that? If I leave here, it means I've given up. It's a joke! I'm a dignified princess, is she afraid of a little princess?" No?"
Yin Xiangsi heard these words verbatim, and came over with a smiling voice, "My princess also thinks that Princess Qinghe is a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and she should not admit cowardice to me, a princess. Then, please hurry up." Some hands-on, my patience is limited."
"Yin Xiangsi, do you really think that I dare not fight Jingse?" Princess Qinghe glared at her angrily.
Yin Xiangsi pursed her lips, "The whip in Princess Qinghe's hands can not only beat princes and princesses, but also punish the people on the street. With such a fearless treasure in hand, I certainly believe that you dare to do it, so please start your performance." , I will wait and see."
Princess Qinghe once again squeezed the golden rattan whip in her hand.
Princess Jiahua was shocked and persuaded: "Qinghe, the overall situation is the most important thing. You must not be provoked by her and really attack Jingse, otherwise something serious will happen."
Princess Qinghe gritted her teeth again and again. She didn't know that things had gone beyond her expectations. Originally, she just wanted to punish Jing Se a little, but Yin Xiangsi would suddenly intervene.
If this matter is handled well, everyone will be able to live in peace. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the friendship between the two countries. At that time, she, a princess, will not be able to resist it.
"Qinghe, admit your mistake to Princess Zhaoran and Princess Qingping!" Not far away, Gu Gan's voice came.
Everyone followed the prestige and saw him in a bright yellow python robe slowly approaching with his hands behind his back, with an unprecedented solemn expression on his face.
"Brother Prince." Seeing Gu Gan, Princess Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, put away the golden rattan whip calmly, and walked over to greet him.
"What are you trying to do?" Gu Gan glanced at Princess Qinghe, frowning deeply.
Princess Qinghe is not as stupid as Princess Danyang, she will only complain blindly, this woman has some brains, she only changed her words after a little thought, "Sister Chen and Princess Zhaoran are playing here, It's just a few words of confusion because of the verbal disagreement, it's not a big deal."
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Yin Xiangsi looked over, with a smile on his face, "The Princess also heard that Princess Qinghe wanted to beat the Princess's sister-in-law."
Princess Qinghe looked back at her, "Princess Zhaoran only heard about it, but have you ever seen with your own eyes how this palace treats her?"
Yin Xiangsi smiled but said nothing.
Gu Gan looked at Jing Se who had been standing quietly not far away, pursed his lips slightly, "Do you want to be okay?"
Jing Se remained expressionless, without even looking at Gu Gan, she supported Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first, Xiaoxiao's injury is important."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Gan's response, Jing Se directly supported Gu Xiaoxiao and walked towards the Palace of Xiefang.
Looking at her clear and indifferent back, Gu Gan felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
After Jingse left, Yin Xiangsi didn't feel like staying any longer, too lazy to care about the nephews, Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe, and quickly followed Jingse's footsteps.
"Sister-in-law." Yin Xiangsi called out.
Jing Se didn't stop, she didn't turn around, "What's the matter with Princess Zhaoran?"
Yin Xiangsi handed her a small porcelain bottle, and said, "This is medicine for golden sores, specially added some rare herbs, it is much more effective than ordinary medicine for golden sores, you can use this for her later."
Jing Se took it and said, "Thank you."
Yin Xiangsi smiled lowly, "We're going to be a family soon, so why be so polite?"
It's not that Jing Se is alien to Yin Xiangsi, but because Gu Xiaoxiao is present, she can't be too enthusiastic, lest someone who cares will look at her and make a fuss about it.
Yin Xiangsi also roughly guessed the reason why Jing Se didn't talk to her more, she said: "Then I'll be leaving now, if you need anything later, you can send someone to come to the bedroom to find me, I'll go back to catch up on sleep first .”
Catch up on sleep?
Jing Se thought about it, did this girl not sleep well last night?Or did you leave the palace at night to do other things?
No longer thinking too deeply, Jing Se said goodbye to her and walked straight forward.
"Xiaoxiao, there's no need for you to come out and block for me." Jing Se said.
"Sister Huang, you may not know that Qinghe's golden vine whip is a gift from the emperor. Once you really hit it, you can't hide it no matter what."
Jing Se smiled and shook her head, "I am Princess Heqin, and I stay in the palace to be married, not to be bullied and insulted at will, so what if she has a whip from the emperor, I have plenty of ways to make her unable to beat it, you If you rush out like this, you will only hurt yourself, are you stupid?"
Gu Xiaoxiao resisted the pain on her back, pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "You are the only girl I can talk about in this world, I took this whip for you, so that you can see that I want to make friends with you Sincerity, I don't lose."
Jing Se shook her head helplessly again, "What a little fool."
Back in Xiefang Hall, Jing Se asked Gu Xiaoxiao to lie on her bed, and she fetched cold boiled water to wash her wound, and then slowly poured the golden sore medicine given by Yin Xiangsi on the wound and gently spread it.
In the middle of the journey, Gu Xiaoxiao was sweating profusely from the pain, but she bit her lower lip so as not to make a sound.
"If it hurts, call it out." Jing Se said, "No one here will laugh at you."
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "It doesn't hurt. When I was young, I have experienced pain worse than this."
Jing Se paused when she applied the medicine, "When you were young, were you often bullied?"
Gu Xiaoxiao realized that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly stopped and kept silent.
"Since you regard me as a friend, it's okay to talk to me." Jing Se sat over, her eyes serious.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Are you really...willing to make friends with me?"
Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "It depends on your sincerity."
Full of excitement, Gu Xiaoxiao turned over and looked at her sideways, and said sadly: "My concubine mother is a singer. When she was young, she won the favor of my father with her good voice. Later, there was a time when my concubine mother lived The Jinghong Hall caught fire for no reason, and my mother and concubine's throat was choked by thick smoke, and she could no longer sing. From that day on, she lost the favor of my father and emperor, and at that time, my mother and concubine was already pregnant with me , She originally thought that my father would miss some old love because of her pregnancy, but my father didn't even give her any extra warmth."
"On the day my mother and concubine gave birth, the Ninth Prince happened to be born, but the birth mother of the Ninth Prince, Concubine Min, had a difficult delivery, so my royal father transferred all the stable women to deliver the baby. The palace lady went to my father to beg several times, but my father was indifferent. My mother and concubine were in despair when she found out. I can't see it, her hands and feet are jerky, she imitated the appearance of stable women and let my mother give birth hard. In the end, I don't know how long it took before my mother and concubine finally gave birth to me. In the days after that, my father and emperor never went to see Passed her. My mother and concubine suffered from chronic illnesses due to excessive depression and excessive tears during the confinement period, and now she is just a medicine jar, and she must drink medicine every day to maintain her vitality."
"It took only 13 years for my mother and concubine to go from a peerless singer who was admired by others to a sad and resentful woman who never sees the light of day in the deep palace. And I have seen all human nature in the 13 years I have lived in this world His selfishness and indifference make the world indifferent."
Jing Se patted her on the head, "Little girl, she's only 13 years old, how can you have so many emotions?"
Gu Xiaoxiao sniffed, "It's nothing, just talking casually."
Jing Se said: "After being bullied since childhood, you can still maintain a cheerful and optimistic heart. It's rare that you haven't been blinded by hatred and distorted your heart."
Gu Xiaoxiao spread her hands, "Of course I have hatred, but my status is humble, even if I have hatred in my heart, I don't have the ability to seek revenge from my brothers, sisters or even my father, instead of living in pain all day like them Then why don’t I be more cheerful, laughing and embarrassing them? I think, living in this scheming palace, the only thing I can do without any effort is probably to laugh.”
Gu Xiaoxiao's words made Jing Se feel very uncomfortable.
She is clearly only a 13-year-old girl, but she has seen through human nature early because of what she has experienced since childhood. To her, what kind of cruelty will be permanently imprinted in her soul?
When everyone hears the word "princess", the first word that comes to mind must be "golden branches and jade leaves", but this is not the case. The mother clan has no power, and the mother concubine is not favored. Even if she bears the title of princess, this place is full of intrigue In the rotten deep palace, maybe her life is not as good as that of an ordinary peasant girl.
"The medicine has been applied, and you can get up." Jing Se put away the small porcelain bottle and said with a smile.
She didn't want this little girl to fall into a sad mood again and infect herself.
The sadness in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes receded in an instant, she sat up straight immediately, her bright eyes flickered at Jing Se, "I've already confessed everything, now, can you treat me as a friend?"
"Of course." Jing Se touched her head, "Who made you an honest and good boy?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "That's because you are the one who is confessing, otherwise I will change someone else, and I will definitely not say a word."
Jing Se nodded, "I know." Then asked: "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Gu Xiaoxiao giggled.
"I won't be here in the future. If you encounter this kind of thing again, you have to learn to hide behind your third brother, and you can't rush forward and be beaten." Jing Se said earnestly: "13 years old, it should be held by relatives. The good years in the palm of your hand, the person who can hold you is not your father, but your third brother."
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. At such a big age, it was the first time she heard someone say that she should be held in the palm of someone's hand at her age. The concubine mother taught her to forbear, and the maids taught her to restrain her temper. Only this face in front of her A beautiful woman, she told herself that she should be loved.
Jing Se originally wanted Gu Xiaoxiao to learn some counter-attack methods, but on second thought, it's rare to meet such a pure-hearted child, so it's better not to stain her pure heart, as long as she can survive this period of time, she will wait When I come back from Dongli to formally confront Gu Qian, I will find a way to get her out to live an ordinary life, so that I don't have to stay in this palace that never sees the sun and let others bully me.

Royal Garden.
After Jing Se left, Gu Gan gradually withdrew his gaze, turned to Princess Qinghe, and said angrily, "You are too courageous!"
Princess Qinghe rolled her eyes secretly, "Brother Huang, why do you have to scold your imperial sister for a woman who is about to marry someone else?"
"You!" Gu Gan widened his eyes.
Princess Qinghe said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Sister Chen is from here, I can see that you have some thoughts on that woman, but I conclude that you must be in vain, so please calm down and think about how to please the emperor and pass on the throne to her." For you."
All Gu Qian's words were blocked. He knew that Qing He had a bad temper and was not stupid. She was clear about many things in her heart, but now that she had exposed her nakedly, Gu Qian felt a little offended.
Princess Jiahua interrupted suddenly, "You brothers and sisters, stop arguing over a shameless woman. Let's go to Qianqing Palace first to see how your father is doing."
Gu Qian finally found the steps, turned around, and said, "Aunt Huang is right, we are going to the Qianqing Palace, not here to bicker and quarrel."
Princess Jiahua took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is sick like this, you see, can you intercede for the emperor's aunt in front of him, avoid the punishment of Danyang, and let her come back early to serve the sick?"
Emperor Taihe has many concubines and children, even if he wants to wait for the sick, how can it be Princess Danyang's turn?
Gu Qian knew that it was Princess Jiahua who wanted to take the opportunity to bring Danyang back. He wanted to take the face of Princess Jiahua who saved him from the siege just now, but suddenly thought that Princess Danyang would give Danyang because he offended Jingse. The disaster he caused, he made a decisive decision, "Father is seriously ill, so it is not appropriate to work too much. If I mention this kind of thing to him in front of him now, it will not cause him trouble. Let's delay it for a while and wait until he recovers."
Princess Jiahua knew that Gu Gan was perfunctory her as soon as she heard it. She was full of resentment, but she dared not say it out, "Since this is the case, let's live a little longer. The prince must help the emperor's aunt."
Gu Qian smiled, "The imperial aunt asked me for something, how dare I shirk?"
A group of three came to Qianqing Palace.
Sun Dabao didn't dare to stop them and let them in.
Emperor Taihe was still in a coma, haggard and haggard, his face was blue-gray, he looked as if he had passed away, it was terrifying.
Lowering his voice, Gu Gan asked Sun Dabao, "My father hasn't woken up since last night?"
Sun Dabao said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor woke up in the morning, and then Princess Qingping came to see the doctor and had an injection, and the emperor fell asleep again."
Gu Qian's pupils narrowed sharply, "What did you say? Princess Qingping has come to see Father?"
Sun Dabao nodded, "Yes."
Clenching his fists tightly in Jinxiu, Gu Gan yelled: "Tell the imperial physician!"
Sun Dabao was puzzled, "The emperor once ordered that the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are too useless, so there is no need to come to Qianqing Palace, and I don't know why His Royal Highness summoned them in such a hurry?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Qianhan frowned, "If you tell me to go, go!"
He wanted to see what exactly that woman did to his father!
