Ever since he learned that Li Qinyuan was outside the city gate, Xiao Ke could no longer sit still. From time to time, he would ask people to find out what was going on outside. After soaking, it is also dark and blue, and the mental state is not very good.
"How to do how to do?"
"If Li Qinyuan comes in, we'll be finished!" he said, and hurriedly ordered people, "Quick, quickly order people to look at a few palace gates, and then let people guard the gates of the palace, absolutely, absolutely not. Let them in!"
The waiter stepped back.
Xiao Ke looked at Zhao Chengyou again. He usually looks good, corporal polite and gentle, but if he encounters important matters involving himself, he becomes indifferent. Now he seems to be looking for his own backbone. Said: "Chengyou, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Chengyou sat on the chair, his face was not very good-looking.
However, I am still a little fortunate in my heart. Since Li Qinyuan got the jade seal, it means that the person is fine... But in this case, regardless of success or failure, I am afraid that his impression in the person's heart will never be restored.
Think of this-
Zhao Cheng's ugly expression opened several cracks, and his hand on the armchair suddenly tightened.
"Chengyou!" Xiao Ke didn't see him answer, and even more anxiously shouted.
"What's the hurry, Your Highness?"
Zhao Chengyou lifted his eyes to look at Xiao Ke, and a bone-chilling voice leaked from his thin lips, "The female family members in the Cheng'an Hall are still there, and the ministers in the Rong'an Hall are also there, if Li Qinyuan enters the palace, You use them as threats."
His expression was light, and he didn't care about the lives of those people at all, his slender fingers brushed the dust-free sleeves at will, and his voice was cold, "If it's still not used, then please invite Your Majesty and the others out to see us. Does General Li want to protect them or harm them?"
"This,"
Xiao Ke changed his face, his voice trembled, "Is this okay? This king, this king does not want to bear the infamy of the world."
When Zhao Chengyou heard this, he seemed to find it a little funny, and he really laughed, his slightly raised eyes looked straight at Xiao Ke, as if he had heard a big joke, he raised the corner of his mouth and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness, you Don't you think it's too late to say this now?"
He stood up as he spoke, ignoring Xiao Ke, "I've done everything that should be done, what's the use of regretting it now?"
"I'd rather-"
He looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the hall with cold eyes, "Fight to the death."
Xiao Ke looked at Zhao Chengyou's figure with a struggling expression on his face, and finally gritted his teeth, "I'll listen to you!" After he finished speaking, he was about to order people to take them, intending to put them all in Donghua. In front of the door, if Li Qinyuan really dares to come in, he will kill them all!
It is expected that Li Qinyuan would not dare to do so.
At that time, kill Li Qinyuan first, and then follow the previous plan...
But as soon as the order came down, before the people left, Cang She walked in hurriedly outside, his face was very ugly, before Xiao Ke could ask a question, he knelt down on one knee, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, Wei Xu has betrayed, and the city gate has been opened. , Li Qinyuan has brought people to the front of Donghua Gate."
"what?!"
Xiao Ke's face changed, his body staggered, and he almost fell directly, with his hands on the table behind him, he hurriedly said: "Quick, hurry up and escort the people from Cheng'an Hall and Rong'an Hall to Donghua Gate. , I don't believe Li Qinyuan can watch them die!"
But Cang She not only didn't leave, but her eyes showed a look of hopelessness. She said palely, "Your Highness, the people in Cheng'an Hall and Rong'an Hall have all been released. Song... Master Song also betrayed."
This time, even Zhao Chengyou changed his face.
Before the two of them could speak, there was a sudden loud noise outside, Song Zhi led someone directly in, glanced at the people in the hall, and said without saying a word, "Detain these two rebels and thieves for me. stand up!"
"uncle?"
Xiao Ke's face was pale and his eyes were shocked. He didn't seem to expect that even his uncle would betray, "You, why are you..." He said as he rushed up, clutching Song Zhi's sleeve tightly, his eyes stern: "You actually betrayed. I?!"
Song Zhi was just a scumbag, and he had no friendship with his nephew. He would only care about his own crimes and meritorious deeds, so how could he care about his life or death
"You did such a bastard thing yourself, and you almost implicated our Song family lintel. I'm teaching you a lesson for Your Majesty and my sister now!" He was about to throw people away after he finished speaking, but Xiao Ke seemed to be crazy. , holding on to his sleeve tightly, he didn't know when he took a dagger in his hand, and put it directly on Song Zhi's neck, looking at the people Song Zhi brought, he gritted his teeth and said, "You must dare to Come here and I'll kill him!"
How did Song Zhi expect such a change? His pupils widened and his voice trembled: "You, what are you doing?!" He barely suppressed the fear in his heart and coaxed people, "Ke'er, don't be like this, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it."
However, Xiao Ke ignored him and pushed Song Zhibian back, threatening: "Open the Xihua Gate for me, and then send someone to escort us out of the palace!"
By now.
Naturally he knew that the situation was over.
But he doesn't want to die yet, he wants to live!
Seeing this situation, the outsiders didn't know what to do for a while. With a long sword in their hands, they stepped back, but they didn't mean to let go, until Xiao Ke gritted his teeth and slashed Song Zhi's neck, and blood gushed out. , heard Song Zhi scream: "Listen to him! Go and open the city gate!"
Everyone had no choice, so they took back their long swords and headed towards Xihuamen.
Li Qinyuan and the others had already arrived at the gate of Donghua. Seeing the palace gate wide open, a group of people pulled the reins. Before moving forward, Wei Xu frowned even more, showing fear on his face, "Why is the palace gate open?" Li Qinyuan said, "I'm afraid there is a fraud in there, I'll go take a look first."
Hearing this, Li Qinyuan stopped him and said in a low voice, "If there is a fraud, how can you let General Wei go first?"
He sat on the horse and thought deeply, "The minister ordered the wives to be in the palace, and it's easy for Xiao Ke to threaten us. I'm afraid... there should be other changes in the palace." The man was leading a group of people to beat him out.
At first, he was far away, and he didn't see it clearly. When he saw the person coming, Li Qinyuan was startled and whispered, "Dabai?"
Then, regardless of other people's obstruction, he directly turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the people with a silver spear in his hand.
"It's not an arrangement, I just had a few words with Song Zhi." Jing Yu smiled, looking at his face full of dust and knowing that he must be tired along the way, and his tone was a little concerned, "Are you all right?"
"fine."
Li Qinyuan said indifferently, "Tell me about the current situation first?"
Jing Yubai nodded, and the two said as they walked, "The Crown Prince, the Empress and Princess Changping are all in the Imperial Palace now, there is no serious problem, and the ministers and the wife are all right, Your Majesty..." Speaking of this, his voice Suddenly lowered a little, "Although Your Majesty is awake, the situation is not optimistic."
He was able to say that he was not optimistic, and it was obvious that things must be bad. Li Qinyuan frowned and asked, "Where are Xiao Ke and Zhao Chengyou?"
"I have asked Song Zhi to arrest them." As soon as Jing Yubai finished speaking, the forbidden army came running. When he saw Li Qinyuan, his expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed his hands to the people, with a respectful tone, "General Li."
Li Qinyuan nodded towards him, and his expression restrained, "What happened?"
The forbidden army replied in a trembling voice: "Jin, King Jin is holding Lord Song hostage, let us open the Xihua Gate and let them out."
"What!" Li Qinyuan and Jing Yubai looked at each other and saw the dark colors in each other's eyes.
"Walk!"
After Li Qinyuan said this, he walked straight towards the West China Gate with the silver spear in his hand.
By the time he got there, Xiao Ke had already threatened to open the Xihua Gate and prepared a quick horse. The dagger in his hand that was holding Song Zhi still did not let go, and he went backwards as he walked.
Just as he was about to retreat to the city gate, he heard a movement not far away.
"General Li?"
"General Li is here!"
Zhao Chengyou's expression moved slightly, he raised his eyes and looked not far away, he saw Li Qinyuan dressed in black clothes, with long hair, and a handsome face walking towards this side, whether it was the forbidden army or other soldiers who saw him coming. They all stepped aside for him to move on.
When Song Zhi saw him, he immediately shouted loudly, "General Li, save me!"
Li Qinyuan ignored him, and just set his eyes on Zhao Chengyou. After watching him for a while, he turned his gaze to Xiao Ke, with a light tone, "His Royal Highness King Jin, there are all our people outside, you have already gone, so don't do it again. Fearlessly struggled."
Xiao Ke was already afraid of Li Qinyuan, and when he saw him appear, he was a little flustered.
Then he saw Li Jiajun, Jing Yubai and the others who appeared behind him, all of them holding bows and arrows at him... His hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and finally even the whole person trembled, a dignified prince actually The body was so weak that he knelt on the ground, tremblingly begged for mercy, "I, I didn't mean it, I, I was all bewitched."
"Yes… "
"It's him!"
Xiao Ke suddenly turned his eyes to Zhao Chengyou and accused: "He bewitched this king and made this king do such a thing..." He said, crawling on his knees towards Li Qinyuan, grabbing his robe, and begging, " General Li, you told your royal father to let him let me go."
"I was really bewitched."
Li Qinyuan lowered his eyes slightly, looked at him without emotion and anger, and when he noticed a line of sight, he lifted his eyes and looked not far away. Zhao Chengyou, who was accused by Xiao Ke, still stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, and he never asked for mercy. Never panic.
Just looked at him with complicated eyes.
Li Qinyuan let him watch, after a moment, said solemnly: "Take it!"
…
This war was quickly pacified. Xiao Ke didn’t have many cronies. In addition to the mutiny of the forbidden army on Song Zhi’s side, it was naturally taken down quickly. Zhao Chengyou and other officials involved were all sent to prison. The ministers and wives they detained in the palace have all been sent out of the palace.
As for Xiao Ke, he is the prince after all.
Li Qinyuan still had people escorted to the imperial palace to be disposed of by Emperor Qingxi.
Although the war was over, there were still many things that he needed to deal with. Li Qinyuan asked him to go out to the palace to report the safety of Gu and Li, and then asked Gu Wuyou to let her rest earlier and wait for him to deal with it. Go home when finished.
When Jing Yubai saw the tenderness on his face when he talked about Gu Wuyou, he smiled and said, "This time, thanks to Princess Leping."
"yes,"
Li Qinyuan has always been generous in complimenting his little wife. This will make him smile even more when he hears it. "If it wasn't for her this time, we wouldn't be able to solve it so easily." Just thinking of her injuries, she couldn't help but wrinkle. He frowned, "I still didn't protect her well."
"If something was wrong early on, this wouldn't have happened."
"Their wolf ambitions, even His Majesty and the others were deceived, how can you find out?" Jing Yubai patted him on the shoulder and said in relief, "When this matter is over, I can settle down. Until then, spend more time with her."
"Um."
Li Qinyuan nodded, remembering that he said that Emperor Qingxi's situation was not optimistic, and then asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty? I didn't think anything was wrong when I saw it just now."
When Jing Yubai heard him talk about this, his face was a little ugly.
He sent everyone around him, and then said to Li Qinyuan, "Do you know the situation of the Marquis of Yongan?"
"Marquis of Yongan?"
Li Qinyuan was stunned, "I know some."
He didn't know what to think, his expression changed slightly, "You mean..."
Jing Yubai nodded, "Presumably the poisoning of Marquis Yong'an was not easy at first, but now His Majesty's situation is similar to Marquis Yong'an. Fortunately, His Majesty did not take too much poison, but the dragon's body was damaged, and it is unknown what will happen in the future. "
Li Qinyuan did not expect that Zhao Chengyou's heart would be so cruel.
At this time, someone suddenly came to report, "General Li, Zhao Chengyou wants to see you."
Hearing this, before Li Qinyuan could speak, Jing Yubai frowned, "This man has many tricks, Qilang, you better ignore him."
Li Qinyuan pursed his thin lips slightly, and seemed to ponder for a while before saying, "It's okay, I'll go take a look." Then he said to Jing Yubai, "I'll leave it to you first, and I'll come when I go." After speaking, he calmed down. A face goes out.
Because Zhao Chengyou was a repeat offender, he was guarded alone. When he saw Li Qinyuan coming, he didn't get up either.
He doesn't speak.
Naturally, Li Qinyuan would not speak.
There was no jailer by his side, so he stood in front of the prison with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhao Chengyou lightly.
In the end, Zhao Chengyou spoke first. He looked at Li Qinyuan and asked, "Do you know why Gu Wuyou likes you so much?"
As if he did not expect Zhao Chengyou to ask such a question, Li Qinyuan was stunned for a while.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Chengyou sneered without waiting for him to speak: "Li Qinyuan, in fact, you have never won against me at all. When it comes to love, we are all losers."
"What do you mean?" Li Qinyuan finally spoke.
What is a loser
His savage doesn't like him, who likes
In the past two years, she accompanied him through one thing after another, pulled him out of the darkness, grew up with him, and anyone could tell that she liked him... But I don't know why, after seeing When Zhao Chengyou looked like this, Li Qinyuan couldn't help but feel some panic in his heart.
No matter what difficulties he encountered on weekdays, he never flinched.
But now, he didn't want to listen any more, his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists, he pretended to be fine, and said coldly, "I thought you had something to say?" After speaking, he glanced coldly at Zhao Chengyou, Then he looked away and walked straight out.
Before he took a few steps, he heard Zhao Chengyou's voice coming from behind, "Li Qinyuan, do you believe in the past and present?"
Past and Present…
Li Qinyuan's heart shuddered, his steps stopped in place, the back of his spine seemed to be shivering, and even his heart and liver trembled.
"absurd!"
He turned around abruptly, the blue veins on his hands jumped violently, and the expression on his face was uncontrollable, but even so, there was still some panic in his eyes.
Looking at his reaction, Zhao Chengyou suddenly laughed: "It's not you that she likes, but the Li Qinyuan who pulled her out of the darkness in the past!"
His laughter was very loud, as if he was mocking himself and Li Qinyuan, and it continued in this depressing world.
When Li Qinyuan finally left, he heard Zhao Chengyou behind him continue: "Since you are so sure of Gu Wuyou's love for you, why don't you ask her? Ask her if she likes you or the one from before. Li Qinyuan, who rescued her like a god."
Like a ghost in the dark night, no matter how you hide, you can't escape.
Zhao Chengyou looked at him forcing his composure but still showed a somewhat panicked figure. The smile on his face suddenly faded. He sat quietly for a long time, and then carefully took out the flower that Gu Wuyou left in the imperial palace that day. The pearl flower, which was wrapped in a clean handkerchief, seemed to want to reach out and touch it, but when he saw the dust on his finger pulp, his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly retracted it.
He didn't even dare to touch it.
In the end, he held the beaded flower, and suddenly laughed again, but this time the laughter was much sadder than before.
Li's house.
Gu Wuyou came back after opening the city gate in the morning.
The left room sent her to the house and led people to find other brothers.
Gu Wuyou also remembered Li Qinyuan in his heart. After he handed a letter to his family saying that he was back, he kept asking people outside. He heard that Li Qinyuan had entered the palace gate and captured all the thieves. After receiving the message that Li Qinyuan sent someone to hand over, that heart finally fell to its home.
When people are relaxed, tiredness comes to mind.
Although she was worried about her children and had delicious food all the way, her spirit was still tense. Now that everything has been resolved, she can finally rest well.
…
at night.
Gu Wuyou woke up, and Bai Lu and the others served the meal, and then they didn't let them serve, only instructed: "Let the kitchen heat the food, and have hot water ready."
Bai Lu naturally hurriedly responded, "The general said, you have to come back later tonight, and the servants will be watching outside. You should rest earlier... You are two bodies now, and you can't bear it."
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou just smiled, "It's okay, I just woke up and can't sleep."
When Bai Lu and the others retreated, she put her hands on her belly, thinking that she would tell Li Qinyuan the good news when he returned, and when she heard a few greetings from outside, she raised her eyes and looked over.
Seeing Li Qinyuan who came in through the curtain, she was both surprised and happy, and stood up with the soft couch, "Didn't you say you can come back very late? Why did you come back so soon?" She hadn't seen him for a while, look By the time he lost a lot of face compared to the previous days, his heart was a little sour, he put his hands on his face, and frowned, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
before.
She said so much, Li Qinyuan hugged her a long time ago, but today, he didn't say a word, and looked at her with complicated eyes, as if he was looking at other things through her.
Seeing his strange expression, Gu Wuyou asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Are you too tired or hungry? I'll send someone to prepare food for you." As she spoke, she was about to order someone to do something, but before she could speak, Li Qinyuan grabbed her hand, "Why did you Are you going to find me in the academy?"
After he came out of the prison, he went straight back.
Along the way, he thought a lot. Those things that he ignored in the past were all revealed by him. Why did she come to him as soon as she arrived at the academy, why did she know what kind of candy he likes to eat, and why did she not know him in Mingming yet? Under the circumstances, she was so kind to him without hesitation
Looking at Gu Wuyou's stunned face, Li Qinyuan held her hand, his throat was sore, but he continued to ask: "Who do you like... who is it?"
