The secret he buried deep in his heart suddenly took root and sprouted.
Later, he summoned Tu Tong to sleep with him every night, just to find the shadow of that person in her body.
But slowly, he discovered that no matter how much Tu Tong looked like her, he wasn't her.
That feeling gradually cooled down, but it made him want that person even more. He wanted to possess her completely. Only when he got her, could he be comforted by his thoughts.
Later, Si Luo brought back news that the man was in his hands.
At that moment, he was so excited and joyful that it even overshadowed the news that Gu Linchao was blind.
Yesterday in Biezhuang, it was the first time for him to have such close contact with her and talk to her.
An unspeakable joy filled his heart.
In the past, he absolutely despised such a charming and charming woman, but after falling in love with her, he realized that other women were so indifferent that none of them could catch his eyes.
However, when he was about to get her, she ran away.
He even planned it out.
He will create another identity for her, let her stay by his side with a brand new identity, and give her the most honorable seat in the future...
However, all of this, like a bubble, disappeared.
He felt lost and lost.
And at the same time, the soldier talisman will be taken to Xiangzhou by Gu Linchao.
This made him feel as if his throat was being choked, and he couldn't sleep well.
He didn't expect Gu Linchao to be so cunning.
The court used the bait of resigning from the post of regent and handing over the military amulet to make him lower his guard, and he was caught in his way by a moment of carelessness.
In any case, he never expected that Gu Linchao would send another person to follow him, and then go to another village.
He couldn't let Gu Linchao just leave, otherwise he would be more in control in the future.
He raised his hand and kneaded between his brows.
At this time, Hao Fulu hurried in, "Your Majesty, the rebellious king Gu Chang has been escorted back to the capital."
Gu Heng was in a state of desperation right now, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered who Gu Chang was
"Where is he now?"
"I have already been imprisoned in the prison, waiting for the emperor's punishment." Hao Fulu replied.
Gu Heng pondered for a while, and ordered: "Please come here, Si Luo, and accompany me to the prison."
Hao Fulu respectfully replied, "Yes."
dungeon.
Heaven Prison has always been a place to detain serious offenders. King Xie committed a serious crime, so he was naturally imprisoned.
However, the emperor hadn't tried him yet, and he was from the royal family, so the jailers didn't dare to treat him too harshly. After sending him to the cell, they served him with food and drink.
When Gu Heng arrived, he happened to see King Xie sitting there drinking in a large bowl. People who didn't know it thought he was a guest somewhere.
Seeing this, Gu Heng's eyebrows flashed coldly.
King Xie wanted to seize his country, and almost let the Beidi people in. It would not be an exaggeration to tear him into pieces. How could he have the face to enjoy it like this
He took a deep breath, ordered the jailer to open the cell door, and stepped in.
When the king saw someone coming in, he turned his head to look.
When he saw Gu Heng, he still sat there lazily and did not get up to salute.
In this battle, he didn't look like a prisoner, but rather like he was the emperor.
No matter how much Gu Heng could hide it, his face could not help but reveal his emotions at this time.
"Gu Chang, are you convicted?"
"What's the crime, my servant?" King Huo asked back.
Gu Heng froze, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Everything you have done is a capital crime. Now you still have the face to ask me, what crime are you guilty of? Gu Chang, I think you are dying. I still don't know how to realize it."
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit! Since I have been defeated, I can only become a prisoner. What is there to say?" The king didn't care, "And the emperor came to see me in this cell today. Do you want to ask me for something?"
Hearing this, Gu Heng's fingers clenched into fists.
If he is not still needed, if he orders him to be executed now, how can he be so rampant in front of him
But he is finally a man who can bear it.
The voice said lightly: "It's not a request, but an order."
King Xie paused, "That's right, my life is in your hands now, and I'm naturally at your mercy. Then I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor wants me to do?"
…
The next day, the Prince Regent's Palace.
Because it was about to move to Xiangzhou, the servants were packing and packing, and the palace was busy.
As soon as Xiao Yan came to the palace, he came to the palace.
Seeing the busy servants, I suddenly feel very disappointed.
"Duke Jingguo is here." Steward Wang saluted him immediately when he saw him.
Xiao Yan hugged his shoulders, and said in a melancholy tone, "Old Wang, I really miss you."
Butler Wang said with a smile: "I think it's not the old slave that Duke Jing is reluctant to part with, but our prince."
"How is it possible?" Xiao Yan quickly denied, "He used to be away all the time, do you think I can't bear him?"
Butler Wang had seen through him long ago, but he didn't expose him, he just said: "My lord and my concubine have gone to Duke Ding's mansion, Lord Jingguo should sit down and have a cup of tea first, lord and the others should be back soon."
"Okay, I'm just thirsty." Xiao Yan looked reluctant.
Butler Wang shook his head and asked someone to make him a cup of tea.
Not long after, Gu Linchao and Wen Rongrong came back.
"Why did you come back? I drank two pots of tea." Xiao Yan complained.
"Is my uncle waiting here specially for us to come back?" Wen Yulong took Gu Linchao's arm and walked into the gazebo.
"Also... not really." Xiao Yan dodged his eyes.
Wen Rongjun nodded, "That's right, the scenery here is very beautiful. It's really pleasant for my uncle to sit here drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. No wonder I can't bear to go back."
Xiao Yan choked for a while, then sighed again, "So what if the scenery is beautiful? You have to leave tomorrow."
"Is my brother-in-law reluctant to part with us? Then why don't my brother-in-law also go to Xiangzhou together." Wen Yunong suggested.
Xiao Yan snorted, "Do I think life is too comfortable, and I will go to Xiangzhou with you to suffer in that place where birds don't shit."
"Nonsense, although Xiangzhou is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is still a place of geomantic omen, and after my lord and I go there, it will definitely become a prosperous prefecture and county in the first and second categories. If my uncle doesn't go, don't regret it then." Wen Rong said confidently.
The feudal land that the late emperor entrusted to Gu Linchao was actually not as bad as Xiao Yan said, but it was quite far from the capital, but it bordered on the border.
Back then, when the first emperor enfeoffed Xiangzhou to Gu Linchao, he actually meant to let him guard the border, right
After a pause, Wen Rongjun said again, "I got the news that Baihualou is going to open a branch in Xiangzhou. When the time comes, merchants will definitely gather."
"Where did you hear the news? Why haven't I heard of it?" Xiao Yan looked at her suspiciously.
"Of course I have a channel for me to inquire about the news, but I can't tell my brother-in-law about this." Wen Yunlong said mysteriously.
Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable, "You guys went to enjoy the blessings, and left me to suffer here alone, can you have a good conscience?"
Wen Yunong: "..."
Just now it was said that the birds in Xiangzhou don't shit, but now they are said to be enjoying themselves.
"You can go together." Wen Rongrong said helplessly.
