The queen panicked and grabbed his arm, "Could it be that the woman is married?"
Gu Yan pursed her thin lips into a flat line, and did not refute.
The queen let go of his hand in a slump, and hugged him tightly after a while, choked up and said, "Sin, my son's life is so hard..."
Gu Yan smiled bitterly silently, but took advantage of the situation and didn't say anything else. He didn't even dare to tell the queen that not only was that woman already married, she was also the wife of his biological brother.
He was afraid that the queen would not be able to hold on.
King Ding Gu Jiuxiao—the elder brother of his mother and compatriots.
They have been facing each other for ten months in the womb of the queen mother day and night, and their blood is blended together.
But fate tricked people, and he didn't know the truth until not long ago.
"Mother, son... I don't want to marry a wife for now..."
The queen hugged him distressedly, her eyes filled with tears, but she still gently stroked his back, and said softly, "Okay, then don't marry a wife, and the queen mother will protect you from everything."
She didn't force him to marry another woman, nor did she plan to persecute that woman's family to perfect her son, she just wanted to give him time.
After this, the queen perked up.
She has been in charge of the Nanyue harem for decades, not something Defei can control in just a few days, but within half a day, she has everything in the harem under her control.
Once she was back in power, she found that there was so much she could do to help her son.
In the past, she just lived according to the template set by Duke Dingguo, but now she is a bit reckless.
Although the harem is not allowed to do politics, but in order to Ding Wang, the queen cooperated with Gu Yan to pull out some nails and bury Gu Yan. The people who took advantage of Emperor Sheng Yuan's current mentality of asking for immortals and asking for immortals, only monsters follow their fate, took the opportunity to divide half of the troops who were sent to hunt down Ding Wang and besiege the northwest fief, and chased after Jing Jing.
King Jing borrowed the light of King Ding and the evil spirit to sneak out of the imperial city with Gu Jiucheng and Xiao Dingquan, the assassin of the day. He thought he would return to his fief smoothly all the way, but he never thought that when he was about to arrive in the fief, Mingfeng suddenly led a team and was ordered to arrest him.
Frightened and angry, he had no choice but to lead his men to abandon their horses and board the boat, and cross the river towards Dongyao.
King Jing had secretly contacted people from Dongyao since guarding the border between Nanyue and Dongyao.
Besides, Emperor Shengyuan couldn't get around him, a person who dared to give him a cuckold, so he didn't make much plans, but just threw himself into the fire.
On the big boat that was driving smoothly on the river, Gu Jiucheng sat on the head of the bed in a daze, looking at the Nanyue village that was getting farther and farther away from him.
His face was haggard, and the empress' shallow prick on his heart was actually healed and bandaged by King Jing's accompanying doctor, but he still felt the pain there was unbearable, heart-piercing.
But in the blink of an eye, he changed from a high-ranking concubine's son to a concubine Shu who had an affair with others.
Ah…
Evil species.
Jing Wang stood a few steps away from him with a sullen face, with deep disgust and helplessness in his eyes.
He was very depressed. This son was a little different from what he had imagined.
Cowardly and incompetent and innocent to the point of stupidity.
If he hadn't seen Gu Yan's wit and wisdom, he might not be so upset, but people will inevitably compare, and the result of comparison is that he can't wait to strangle this rebellious son who hurts the spring and the autumn, but thinking that he has already lost the ability to bear children, he can only suppress the anger in his heart. He stepped forward and kicked Gu Jiucheng lightly with the toe of his boot. A high fever may kill you!"
Gu Jiucheng laughed at himself, and yelled at King Jing, "Throw it away!"
"How face do I have to live in this world..."
"How can people in the world laugh at me... Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Xiao Dingquan, who had been sitting in the bow of the boat since boarding the boat, sneered, raised his eyebrows evilly, and said mockingly, "Want to die? It's easy, you get up from the deck and jump into the river."
Gu Jiucheng was taken aback for a moment, his pale face froze for a moment, he seriously thought about Xiao Dingquan's suggestion, and really stood up staggeringly.
King Jing looked ugly, raised his hand and grabbed him by the back collar, lifted him up easily, and dragged him roughly into the cabin, "Oh, want to die? It's not that easy!"
"Your life is given to you by this king. When you die, you must agree to it!"
"Come on, come to the next town to dock the boat and buy some good-looking women." Jing Wang sneered again and again, and suddenly felt that it was a waste of time for him to comfort Gu Jiucheng these days. Didn't he rescue Gu Jiucheng just to prevent his Lin family from becoming extinct? He doesn't care if Gu Jiuzheng doesn't live up to expectations, let him have more children, and he can raise them himself!
Gu Jiucheng hadn't understood King Jing's intentions yet, only knew how to struggle and curse angrily.
"You let go of me and let me die!"
"I have nothing to do with you, nothing at all!"
King Jing threw him into the cabin. Seeing Gu Jiuzheng trying to get up in a panic, he couldn't help but chuckled, leaned over and patted his pale and thin face, and said coldly, "At that time, you will work obediently and spread the branches and leaves for my Lin family. You will be a great hero of our Lin family. When you have enough, if you want to live or die, this king will follow you."
