After leaving the Jinghu wooden house, the prince and Liang Zhen walked slowly in the forest.
Although it was snowing heavily before, Nanyue Country is located in the south, and even the abnormal snow has gradually melted. In addition, this piece of wasteland used to be a salt dump, so it is not easy to accumulate snow.
Because of the moisture from the snow, the ground is dark and soft, and there is a sense of comfort when stepping on it.
"You and Kuang Yingzhe have been with me for a long time, but there are some things that you don't know." The prince said.
Liang Zhen nodded, although he and Kuang Yingzhe were loyal, but the crown prince was suspicious by nature, and deliberately avoided them in many things, or sometimes only took one of them and concealed the other, the two knew it, but did not show it.
"The queen mother took a fancy to Zhao Yuanzheng's military power, and even proposed to make Gu Qianxue the crown princess at the banquet, but the father did not agree, but the fact that Gu Qianxue is the future crown princess spread like wildfire. This matter is not groundless, but a fact. "The prince's voice was calm and emotionless, "Afterwards, I found an opportunity to secretly contact Gu Qianxue, wanting to find out who this woman who will assume the military power of the Zhao family in the future is. She is very similar to her idiot mother, and then Bengong followed his plan and rejected Gu Qianxue according to the emperor's will."
Liang Zhen did not interrupt.
The prince walked more than a dozen steps, and continued, "Later, Gu Qianxue pushed King Li into the water. At that time, King Li was recovering from heavy injuries. I thought he was unprepared. , not only was she no longer as frivolous as before, but she even reported herself to go to Prince Li’s Mansion to heal Concubine Qin’s illness. Afterwards, Bengong had a second direct contact with Gu Qianxue, seeing her again in the plague area in the south of the city. Although I didn’t recognize her at the time, she cured the plague with penicillin, and even donated the penicillin formula to the imperial court anonymously and free of charge, which is surprising.”
Liang Zhen kept silent, but she was surprised in her heart, so there was such an episode!
Looking back now, he still remembers it vividly. At that time, he and Kuang Yingzhe saw that the prince had been worried about the plague in the south of the city, but they could not let the prince enter the plague area. It is impossible to face the prince and queen.
At that time, the three of them were traveling in low clothes, and the prince threw them away. For nearly an hour, the two of them searched for the prince everywhere. In the end, the prince came out by himself and said that he had been listening to books in the restaurant, but the two had indeed looked for him before. The restaurant did not see the prince.
Come to think of it, it should be that day.
But what surprised him even more than this was that the penicillin was contributed by Princess Qianxue. Such a wonderful medicine was also contributed anonymously.
According to ordinary people's thinking, with such a wonderful recipe, it is enough to directly contribute to the emperor, not only to win a good name, but also to help his father, Gu Shangshu, to win political achievements.
Suddenly, Liang Zhen realized another problem - if it is said that Gu Qianxue and the crown prince had contact before, it means that Gu Qianxue knew the crown prince. And when the two met in the plague area in the south of the city, even though Gu Qianxue disguised himself, the prince was not disguised. Could it be that Gu Qianxue didn't recognize the prince
The more she thought about it, Liang Zhen also realized the strangeness, "Your Highness, that is to say, Princess Qianxue's temperament changed drastically due to drowning, and now she has changed back, right?"
"Exactly." The prince said.
Liang Zhen was completely dumbfounded, "The villain has the guts to ask what His Highness is going to do next?"
The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Now I have lost interest in Gu Qianxue. From the perspective of the Zhao family's military power, the Zhao family's army was severely injured after the Guandong City incident. Unless there is a war, it will be difficult for the army to be recruited again. Zhao Yuanzheng wants to His father would not allow the restoration of the Zhao family army. Besides, didn't Zhao Yuanzheng have a 'son'? Didn't the Zhao family give birth to Gu Qianyi again? In any case, the military power does not fall to Gu Qianxue. Two, Gu Qianxue has changed back, what use does I need her? To add trouble to myself?"
Liang Zhen thought of Qiu Anran in the Qilin Palace, and immediately understood what the crown prince meant by "addition".
"That is to say, His Royal Highness has given up Princess Qianxue?" Liang Zhen asked.
"Don't give up," the prince replied, "Gu Qianxue, I am bound to win. Who knows when she will change back again? If it is really hopeless to change, find a house, throw her in and imprison her for a lifetime. It was worth it to see King Li suffer."
Liang Zhen said, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
As the two walked farther and farther, the prince's voice seemed to be drifting in the wind, "Even if the things in this palace are destroyed, they will not be given to others."
Prince Li's Mansion.
The night is late, the full moon is in the sky, the bright moonlight illuminates the world brightly, miserable and lonely.
Li Wang, who was wearing a pure black fashionable cloak, stood alone in front of Yushengju's gate. The servants of Yushengju had already turned off the lights to rest. Water Tower".
Powerful thoughts swept over him, making him even more uncomfortable.
Since the two separated, day and night, as long as they calmed down, their bones would be eaten away by longing. Every time they thought that this day was the peak of pain, but only the next day did they realize that the real pain was still to come.
The more I think about it, the more it hurts.
After the strong yearning, there is endless regret.
Regretful that the two of them had poisoned her when they first met, and regretted that they had taken too many chances and missed opportunities.
People are such ridiculous creatures. When opportunities are in their hands, they always think that they can make everything seamless and perfect with their own superb means, but then they find that it is their own childishness and greed that ultimately loses their roots. , Too late to regret.
Suddenly, two violent coughs from the old man resounded in the calm environment. Gong Lingfeng quickly calmed down and turned around, "Mr. Shao, you just recovered from a serious illness. Why do you go out late at night? What if you catch a cold?"
Eunuch Shao, who was trembling slightly, smiled a few times, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern, but when I get old, my slave will get sicker and sicker. If I don't recover, I won't recover. I'm just procrastinating every day."
Gong Lingyan frowned, trying to comfort others, but he was extremely bad at comforting others, so he kept silent in the end.
But Eunuch Shao said, "When the princess didn't come back, the prince would come to Yusheng Residence every time he missed the princess, but now the princess is in Shangshu Mansion, if the prince misses her, he can go directly." Then he suddenly remembered, "Hey , as expected, I am getting old, but the servant forgot that the prince only came back from the Shangshu Mansion in the evening. Could it be that there was some unhappiness with the concubine?"
The "princess" that Eunuch Shao spoke of was Gu Qianxue.
Gong Lingyan looked at Yushengju not far away again, "Not only is she not unhappy, but she is obedient to this king, but the more this is the case, the more this king misses her. What's going on?"
Eunuch Shao said with a smile, "What else can happen, it means that the prince is unwilling to be separated from the concubine at all times."
Gong Lingyan shook her head, "On the contrary, when I was with her, I didn't feel any nostalgia. If I hadn't rescued her from Manjin Palace with my own hands, I would have thought...she wasn't the real Gu Qianxue. "
