Chapter 62

Looking at her with such eyes, Gu Rou didn't feel much nervous in her heart, and the previous worries and fears seemed to gradually calm down at this moment.

When she came in, the guards who dragged her back had retreated, leaving only the emperor sitting above and Gu Rou and the third prince standing below.

The whole body was terribly weak, but Gu Rou still stood strong and looked at him quietly. The king on the seat didn't speak, and Gu Rou didn't speak, but the third prince saluted respectfully, and then looked frank. Solemnly explained the reason for the whole thing.

Gu Rou listened on the sidelines, with a hint of sarcasm in her heart. It has to be said that the third prince is really capable in terms of acting skills.

In front of the emperor, the third prince dared to lie in nine out of ten sentences.

He deliberately didn't mention Gu Piaoxu, and the matter in Xianting Villa has become that he heard some time ago that masters of the rivers and lakes gathered in Xianting Villa, and as the third prince who worries about the country and the people all day long, he is afraid that those people will plan something wrong For the benefit of the court, when he thought about his identity as a prince, he also thought about the responsibilities he would bear as a prince. Therefore, for the sake of the court and the peace of the entire Southern Chu Kingdom, the third prince took risks and sneaked into Xianting Villa alone.

What a touching and heroic act!
As the incarnation of wit and bravery, even if he broke into the Xianting Villa where experts gather, all problems can still be solved in front of the omnipotent third prince, but he did not expect to find Gu Rou inside by accident, and the third prince The heart for the country, the people and the peace of the world is burning again. How could the person who replaced the princess and went to marry him appear in this place!
The third prince felt that this was another issue related to international peace. After careful consideration, he took Gu Rou back to the palace as a matter of course.

Although the third prince showed himself to be extremely modest and euphemistic during the whole presentation process, and had no intention of taking credit for it, even Gu Rou could hear it. The third prince didn't say a single word about himself during the whole process, but every word Implicitly praising myself, expressing my ability to the emperor.

Gu Rou couldn't help sighing because of this forced pretending: Sure enough, this ancient man, especially the one in the palace, was also a high-ranking and good-looking person, and his routine was deep!Everyone is an old drama!
The third prince obviously made it up before he came, and all the words he said were leak-free and flawless. The emperor who loved and valued the third prince naturally did not doubt that he was there. After a few words of satisfaction and praise, he waved him back. down.

Before leaving, the third prince took a deep look at Gu Rou, and there seemed to be endless warnings in his eyes.

Gu Rou's face was expressionless, but there was some sarcasm in her heart. When she left and looked at the king above, he already had a majestic and deep look on his face.

"Why did you appear here? Should you explain?" The emperor's voice sounded deep and majestic, but it seemed that there was an invisible pressure enveloping him. This was the unique aura of a person who had been in power for a long time.

Gu Rou blinked, "Why am I here? The Third Prince brought me here just now!"

"..."

When she saw the emperor's eyes narrowed viciously, at that moment, Gu Rou seemed to see endless killing intent.

Alas, I blame my honest and good-looking mouth!

Gu Rou hurriedly remedied: "Your Majesty, it's like this..."

She told the old emperor what she had explained to the third prince before, with the expression and tone of an honest and good boy.

After finishing speaking, Gu Rou didn't forget to take a few weak breaths, and with a dying look, she said that she had been in a coma for the past few days, implicitly accusing the third prince's inhumane behavior these days doubled.

According to Gu Rou's explanation, the emperor's reaction was almost the same as that of the third prince at that time, he just looked at Gu Rou with a doubtful gaze, trying to find a trace of lying on her face.

But at this time, Gu Rou's face was weak besides being weak. The emperor looked at her for a while before ordering someone to send Gu Rou secretly to guard.

Gu Rou said that the place where she was imprisoned was a side hall of the Leng Palace. In order to prevent her from being discovered, Gu Rou was wrapped in a black cloth on her face and body since she left the imperial study room, and was brought here by experts.

As for what the emperor's idea was, it was nothing more than to save Gu Rou's life for the time being before the matter was found out. Regardless of whether the truth of the matter could be found out in the end, in order to avoid future worries, the emperor would probably kill Gu Rou in the end. her.

As soon as he was brought to this remote palace, someone soon came in with things and prepared some simple living utensils for Gu Rou, water and food were brought in soon after.

Compared with the previous treatment that the emperor treated her as a princess, this time, she is really a prisoner.

Just, at least not starving to death.

After solving the stomach problem, Gu Rou seemed relaxed on the face, but since entering here, her heart has not relaxed for a moment.

Although it is a cold palace, but because of Gu Rou's arrival, the emperor has stepped up guards inside and out. Not only are there visible guards outside the doors and windows, but also sent people in the dark. It can be said that the whole palace is now guarded. Surrounded by guards.

Feeling her current situation, Gu Rou felt a burst of sadness flowing against her. I am afraid that even if Yan Jue knew that she had been arrested and taken into the palace, it would take a lot of effort to find out that she was locked up in this place, and if the other party To save her, you first have to avoid these guards in the open and in the dark.

This kind of thing with extremely dangerous elements, not to mention that she didn't have much friendship with her, no matter how good the relationship is, I'm afraid I have to consider three points.Because once exposed, Yan Jue will face the emperor's conviction, and there is no need for the other party to risk his future and life for her.

"Alas..." Gu Rou kicked the quilt like this until late at night. She didn't know if it was because she had slept for too long a few days ago or because she was in a mood problem, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

The more boring you are, the more things pop up in your mind, apart from the clueless escape plan, your thoughts uncontrollably think of certain people, for example, Su Zhan.

I have to say that the psychological shadow brought by this stingy man is so deep that she can't help but think of him even at this time. , she doesn't have to stay here so painfully now!
Thinking of that nasty guy, Gu Rou couldn't help but grind her teeth fiercely. What the hell, it was a mistake for her to fall into his bathtub since the time of time travel!

Some people were indignant, while others were worried. They stayed up all night until dawn when their subordinates finally came back with reliable news.

According to a night of investigation by many people under his command, it was found that the defense was suddenly strengthened yesterday at a side hall of the cold palace on the west wall of the palace.

It is doubtful that there are several more guards in a remote place that has always been deserted and uninhabited overnight, but it is more than that. In addition to the few extra guards in the open, there are also many hidden in the dark, which seem to be hidden intentionally. , I don't want to be too conspicuous to be noticed.

The more this is the case, the more this strange phenomenon can only explain one thing: the places guarded by those guards are detaining very important people.

Except for Gu Rou who was secretly arrested by the third prince yesterday, based on what happened in the palace recently, I'm afraid there is no other person who might be locked up in such a low-key place and still guarded so strictly.

After confirming the place where Gu Rou was being held and the surrounding situation, Yan Jue first asked his subordinates to retreat, and only ordered one person to lie in ambush where Gu Rou was being held, and continue to observe in the dark.

After everyone had left, Yan Jue came to Yuefu as usual. In the deserted hall, Yan Jue sat alone in front of a lyre. After watching the lyre for a while, his slender fingers slowly moved.

The melodious sound of the piano poured out from between his fingers, as if it came from the nine heavens.

However, at this moment, when he was having fun, his heart was always calm, but his mood could not be calmed down. With the movements of his fingers and the sound of the piano, countless things passed through his mind.

Ever since he could remember, those memories with various flavors came one after another, to the destruction of the family, he sneaked into the palace to become a musician, waited for many years to avenge the death of the family, and later...meet Gu Rou.

When I saw her for the first time, she was just a timid and hungry woman, her whole body was so dim that no brilliance could be seen, like the most inconspicuous dust.After she escaped from the palace and was arrested again... It seems that everything has changed.

It's only been a few days with her, but some things are quietly changing uncontrollably.

Countless fragments were flying in his mind, and Yan Jue suddenly thought of the day when he was investigating the matter of gathering people to hunt for treasures in the Xianting Villa, and after secretly discussing with others in the brothel, he accidentally met Gu Rou who was wearing the love potion.

Regarding his offer to detoxify her, she just refused without the slightest hesitation, and was even eager to get rid of him.

With the complexity of his thoughts, the sound of the piano gradually became chaotic, and countless images and emotions rushed wildly in his mind, which could no longer be controlled.

Even the palace people passing by outside the door seemed to have heard something wrong in the sound of Yan Jue's piano, but when they wanted to identify it carefully, the song stopped abruptly before the end.

Yan Jue looked at the strings whose reverberation was fading away, and frowned, his eyes seemed to gaze deeply into a far place through it.

After a while, he got up, and after returning to his room, his subordinates came to report: "My lord, the emperor is secretly investigating the peace team."

At the beginning of the marriage between the two countries, almost everyone was paying attention, and the emperor would send people to pay attention to the road conditions, but now the marriage team has left the border of the Southern Chu Kingdom and entered the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the emperor suddenly sent people to secretly follow up and investigate yesterday, like I want to check to prove something.

Of course, Yan Jue knew that what the emperor wanted to investigate was the identity of the impostor who was going to get married and the reason behind the incident, and Gu Rou would die without anyone knowing.

Yan Jue pondered for a while, and after confirming the situation around the place where Gu Rou was detained from his subordinates again, he decided to go out tonight in person.
