When night fell, Bohai City was soon shrouded in darkness.
A black pigeon fluttered its wings, quickly blended into the night, and quickly headed towards Kyoto.
And the secret guards and intelligence lines of Ding Wang's mansion were also quickly activated.
In a courtyard in the eastern outskirts of Kyoto, behind a huge screen was a man coughing while covering his mouth, "cough, cough, cough..." one after another, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
Fang Yuanshen stood outside the screen with a worried expression, as if he wanted to go in but didn't dare.
"Master, let..."
"Ahem... no need... I'll never get better..."
The person inside coughed anxiously again. He looked down at the blood stained on the brocade handkerchief in his palm, and closed his eyes weakly. He knew about his illness. He was brought out from the mother's womb, and if he could live up to now, he was only dying.
He leaned his body against the screen with great effort, and murmured, "Even the medical sage can do nothing, even if you come, it will only delay for a while..."
Fang Yuanshen opened his mouth, wanting to say otherwise, let Princess Ding take a look, I heard that her strange method can bring people back to life. But as long as he thinks of Gentiana Qin, his heart feels as if it is tightly grasped by something, his face is grim and covered with cold sweat from the pain.
hateful.
It was what Princess Ding did to him back then.
He drooped his shoulders weakly, listening to the piercing cough of the person behind the screen, he was helpless.
And the person who was coughing desperately saw that he hadn't mentioned Gentiana Qin's name for a long time, and a trace of disappointment and coldness quickly slipped through his moist eyes.
When the subordinates revealed that Fang Yuanshen was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, he coldly reprimanded him. His mother is kind to the Fang family, and he knows that the Fang family will be at his disposal, and he has always believed in it. But since Fang Yuanshen went to Prince Ding's mansion, he has changed a little. He has become silent, and he no longer mentions King Ding and Princess Ding in front of him. In addition, today, he used his own physical safety to test, but he still didn't say a word...
The hands hanging on the knees slowly clenched into fists.
He didn't have the habit of keeping questions in his heart, and was about to press Fang Yuanshen, when suddenly, a servant outside said softly, "Master, Commander Ming has sent a letter with a flying pigeon."
"Cough cough... present, present..."
He temporarily suppressed the original plan in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
The visitor hastily and carefully placed the bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon's feet to the edge of the screen.
A bony, pale hand stretched out, and took out the secret letter from the bamboo tube.
He looked carefully, and a rare smile appeared on his pale face. He put his slender fingers lightly on the screen, and said weakly, "Since the queen is the key, then send a message to the people in the palace, saying, since Concubine Rou wants to be queen so much, let's help her..."
Fang Yuanshen's face changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a low laugh from the person behind the screen, "Yuan Shen, when necessary, please help me out, after all... this is the only way for Prince Ding and Concubine Ding to return to the capital. You must have missed Prince Ding's residence very much, right?"
Although the voice was soft and calm, Fang Yuanshen couldn't help feeling flustered.
He knelt down fiercely, "This subordinate is loyal to the master and has no other intentions!"
The people behind the screen softened a little when they heard the words, but they thought that although he was his own person, he was also forced by the situation to show such loyalty in front of Emperor Sheng Yuan. Now he can't completely trust Fang Yuanshen, but it's impossible not to trust him.
Famous doctors from all walks of life told him not to overwork him. He managed to suppress his turbulent mood, and leaned weakly on the soft bed behind the screen, "I certainly believe in your loyalty. It's getting late, and I'm going to rest."
"Yes, then, this subordinate will resign now..."
Fang Yuanshen didn't dare to disturb his rest anymore, so he left in a hurry.
And in Bohai City thousands of miles away, Ding Wangfu's study also stayed up all night.
Just because Gu Jiuxiao needed it, the intelligence network all over the country worked all night and sent him detailed information.
It was mixed with some information prepared in advance by people sent by Mingfeng, and more of it was the dictation of the banquet participants that night, as well as the news that Zhang Qingfeng and others had searched for their nephews from thousands of miles away.
True and false are mixed in, making it difficult for people to distinguish what is true and what is false.
The only thing that is certain is that he is not the son of the Fuqu Palace, but he is very likely to be the queen's son, the son of the queen who hated his existence from the very beginning.
The other women that Mingfeng reposted were just an excuse to lure him into Beijing.
When Gu Jiuxiao got the information, he was extremely silent.
I just feel like everything is a joke.
"My lord, it's already three o'clock, why don't you rest first, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow..."
Ge Feng saw him sitting alone in a daze, as if he had seen that boy sitting on the ground alone when he first met Temo, as if the sky was big and the earth was big, and he was just a tiny weed that no one cared about.
He sighed softly, "If the princess knows that you sit alone all night, I'm afraid she will feel distressed."
Only then did Gu Jiuxiao's expression move slightly, his eyeballs rolled, and he staggered to stand up.
Ge Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "This subordinate will help you to Wangfei's..."
Gu Jiuxiao's heart was obviously moved, but he thought that it was already the third watch, and he couldn't bear to wake up Qin Jia, "Forget it, this king is alone..."
He brushed away Ge Feng's hand and sat down again.
Ge Feng persuaded him a few words, but he couldn't persuade him at all. He wanted to ask Qin Geng to persuade him, but Gu Jiuxiao saw it, and said solemnly, "Don't disturb Xiao Jiu's rest."
Ge Feng had no choice but to retreat silently.
After Ge Feng left, the composure that Gu Jiuxiao had been holding on to suddenly broke down. He slumped on the back of the chair and stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.
That's ridiculous.
The mother he longed for and missed and defended desperately was nothing but an enemy who betrayed his biological mother.
But the person who treated him like nothing and brought him endless humiliation and pain was Shi Yue's biological mother who gave birth to him.
He fought so hard for it, but he wanted to use the merits of a living person to earn honor for his dead mother after death.
But at this moment, he was completely blocked in his desperate direction, and everything became ridiculous.
Gu Jiuxiao only thought it was ridiculous, so ridiculous that his body trembled, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
At this moment, a warm body gently leaned over, and the familiar and alluring fragrance of plants and trees immediately surrounded him tightly.
Gu Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment, and heard Qin Gentian's clear and soft voice, "I can't see you when I wake up, my lord, I need you..."
I need you…
But the simple four words, like the blocked opening, made people gently poke an exit, giving him a sudden direction.
Gu Jiuxiao's eyes were astringent, and the fingers covering his eyes were already a little wet.
He felt a little ashamed and refused to take his hands away.
Gentiana Qin also indulged his capriciousness and shyness at the moment, only gently stroking his back, and said softly, "Let's go to Kyoto, I want to move my mother's tomb back to Bohai City."
She didn't directly persuade Gu Jiuxiao to go back to the capital to meet the queen, but said in a roundabout way that she wanted to move the tomb of Princess Yichang Deyang back to Bohai City.
Mingfeng and the others came prepared, and Emperor Shengyuan urgently asked them to enter the capital. If they did not enter, there was no guarantee that they would not take the queen, Gu Yan, and everyone they cared about to force them to enter the capital.
She didn't want him to regret and blame himself because of the queen's accident.
That being the case, it is better for them to take the initiative.
Gu Jiuxiao froze for a moment, he moved the hands covering his eyes to hug her, revealing a pair of red eyes soaked by tears.
Poor and beautiful.
Qin Gentian couldn't help but leaned down, kissed his eyes lightly, and said softly, "Are you okay?"
So tender.
At this moment, Gu Jiuxiao felt that he was cherished.
Even if he admits a thief as his mother, even if he is rejected by his biological mother, he is no longer alone.
His wife needs him, his wife adores him, and his little sister does not dislike his rare fragility, and is kissing his eyes tenderly.
Gu Jiuxiao hugged her slender waist all of a sudden, and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed someone in his arms, into his flesh and blood.
Overbearing and domineering.
Qin Gentiana frowned at his pain for a moment, but she didn't make a sound, just stroked his hair soothingly.
"I listen to you..."
He said in a low voice, "You are the head of the family. Whether you are outside or inside, I will obey you."
