The moon is dark and the wind is high.
The capital has fallen into a state of tension and alert because of the successive wars. Yuan Tang has been hiding in the east of the capital for several days, like a mouse crossing the street. After so many years, he has never been so embarrassed.
When Gu Jiao told him that his uncle Prince Bo was going to commit a rebellion, he didn't believe it. After all, his uncle Prince Bo was the most beloved son of the late emperor. When his father was the prince of Chen State, he committed a serious crime. It was Prince Bo's uncle who tried his best to rehabilitate his father, and then helped his father to keep the crown of the prince.
How could such an uncle of Prince Bo make people not trust him
As for his grandfather's family, the Rong family.
The daughter of the Rong family is also his mother concubine. She is the noble concubine of the Chen country. She is under one person and over ten thousand people. She will only wait for him to be enshrined as the queen, and her mother will honor the world.
Prince Bo's uncle and the Rong family are not related by marriage. Is the Rong family's brain flooded? Instead of helping your daughter and grandson, you go to help an outsider
He felt that Gu Jiao must have made a mistake, or he was maliciously provoking his relationship with Prince Bo's uncle.
However, he had a mind in his heart, and he has always been paying attention to the movements of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family. It was not until the emperor ordered someone to arrest him that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
He fled first.
And just a few days after escaping for his life, news came from the frontier that the army of Chen State was crushing the border and Zhao State lost three cities in a row.
It was at that moment that he finally realized that Gu Jiao didn't tease him, his uncle Prince Bo was really against it!
The emperor is still ordering people to arrest him, probably thinking that if he is caught, he will be able to blackmail Chen Guo, but Gu Jiao is right, it is not his father who wants to violate the covenant between the two countries, but his uncle Prince Bo.
So even if he was killed, his uncle would not blink an eye.
It's a dead end for him right now.
I don't know what happened to the father.
If Prince Bo's uncle dared to do such a thing, he must have controlled the court, and may even have put his father under house arrest.
Thinking of this, Yuan Tang's whole face turned cold.
"Look there!"
The voice of the Guardsmen came from not far away.
This kind of situation that may be exposed at any time has already occurred countless times, and Yuan Tang has gradually become numb from the initial indignation.
But he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Otherwise, once he is caught, his life will be gone, the uncle will not protect him, and Zhao Guo will not let him go.
Yuan Tang dodged and walked through the alley on the side, and as soon as he came to a street, he was blocked by Liu Yisheng.
Liu Yisheng hired a carriage, he opened the curtain and said to him, "Follow me!"
Yuan Tang didn't step forward, but looked at Liu Yisheng with a complicated expression, the footsteps behind him gradually approached, and he sank into the night without looking back.
He can't implicate his cousin.
Even if he died, he would die alone in Zhao Kingdom.
On the other hand, the news of the loss of three cities in the frontier and the arrest of the old marquis spread to the Marquis of Ding'an.
"What did you say! The old man was arrested at the frontier!"
In the study, Gu Houye looked at Huang Zhong in disbelief, "Did you hear it wrong? Didn't the old man go to the mountains and play with water? Why did he go to the frontier? It's a place of bitter cold!"
Huang Zhong couldn't do anything to say: "It's absolutely true, Lord Hou! The remnants of the previous dynasty colluded with the army of Chen Guo at the frontier, and did not hesitate to cede land and betray the country to help Chen Guo get close to the frontier. The news of the old man's arrest has spread throughout the palace!"
"How could this be?" Lord Gu fell on the chair in despair.
Huang Zhong said worriedly: "The queen mother was furious and ordered the prince to return to Beijing immediately, saying that he would... reorganize the Gu family army, and let the prince lead the Gu family army to the north to fight the enemy!"
Lord Gu's expression changed again: "Is Changqing going to the frontier too? He..."
He is only twenty-one!
He has never been to such a distant battlefield, nor has he experienced such a fierce war. With 100,000 Gu family troops heading north together, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle!
Outside the study, Gu Chengfeng, who had listened unintentionally, was like falling into an ice cellar.
He knew that his grandfather secretly went to the frontier by the emperor's order, but he never expected that instead of saving Princess Ning'an, his grandfather put himself in.
He didn't know who the remnants of the previous dynasty were, but with reference to Concubine Jing, he could roughly infer that the other party was ruthless and did everything possible, and his grandfather would be in danger if he fell into the hands of those people.
The elder brother is far away near Fengdu Mountain. It will take time to return to the capital, and it will take time to revive the Gu family army, and then go north to the frontier. I don’t know if my grandfather will be able to wait until the elder brother…
Grandfather will not let himself be a bargaining chip to restrain the elder brother and Gu Jiajun.
If the remnants of the previous dynasty used him to blackmail the elder brother, his grandfather would definitely rather die than give in!
Gu Chengfeng went back to his yard.
He found out the night clothes and put them on, took the mask and put it on, and picked out a few hidden weapons bought by Qianji Pavilion.
After doing this, he went to the next room.
At this time, Gu Chenglin had rested, Gu Chengfeng came to the bedside, looked at Gu Chenglin who was sleeping, tucked the quilt for him, touched his hair that grew out a little, took out the silver note on his body and stuffed it on his pillow Down.
"In the future, you will have to buy hair restorer yourself."
After all, he reluctantly glanced at his brother one last time. At this time, he envied Gu Yan and the new born little guy. At least those two were hurt by so many people, and Gu Chenglin was the only one left.
But now even he is leaving.
This time, he is not simply doing a task, he is going to the frontier, sneaking into the enemy camp, his life and death is unknown, if he does not come back——
"If I don't come back, you will take care of yourself in the future, understand?"
The sleeping Gu Chenglin didn't know anything about his brother's departure. He turned over and looked peaceful and stable in his sleep.
Gu Chengfeng finally left.
He gently closed the door for his younger brother, and went to the stable to sneak off his father's sweaty BMW.
Bishui Hutong.
After a busy day, the family went back to their houses to rest.
Gu Jiao went to the east room to look at the little guy. The little guy's neonatal jaundice had subsided, and the folds on his face were gradually smoothed out. He was a white and tender little cutie.
"Jiaojiao." Xiao Jingkong appeared behind her holding the pillow.
"Have you not slept yet?" Gu Jiao looked back at him.
"Well, I miss you a bit." Xiao Jingkong said seriously.
Gu Jiao bent the corners of her lips and moved her little head: "I'll take you there."
"Yeah!" Xiao Jingkong hugged her little pillow with one hand and Gu Jiao's hand with the other, and jumped to the next door.
He lay on the soft bed, opened his big round eyes, and said obediently, "Jiaojiao."
"Um?"
"I've covered the quilt."
"So good." Gu Jiao touched his forehead, "Go to sleep."
Xiao Jingkong closed his eyes obediently.
After a while, he opened it again: "Jiaojiao?"
"I am here."
He closed his eyes again in relief.
The little hand grabbed Gu Jiao's hand and made no secret of her dependence and need.
Gu Jiao guarded him until he fell asleep and snored evenly, then she got up and returned to the backyard from the small aisle.
She went to Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun's house, and the two little men had already fallen asleep. Gu Yan slept very well, maybe it was because she was always bullied by her sister in her mother's womb. Gu Xiaoshun's sleep was a little different, half a Legs are hanging out of the bed.
Gu Jiao tucked Gu Xiaoshun's legs into the quilt and touched their foreheads.
Among the children, Gu Xiaoshun was the most worrying, and Gu Yan was the most worrying.
Gu Yan's heart disease has always been a problem that Gu Jiao wanted to solve, but the operation conditions of the small medicine box were not met.
Gu Jiao opened the bedside table and put the anti-heart failure medicine in it.
After doing this, she returned to the Westinghouse and found some clean clothes.
"what?"
She rummaged through the box, revealing a puzzled look.
"Looking for this?"
Xiao Heng's voice suddenly appeared at the door.
Gu Jiao turned around and saw Xiao Heng walking towards her with a mask inlaid with peacock feathers.
She blinked and said, "It's clear!"
Xiao Heng smiled, a little helpless, but also a little bit can't help laughing, he didn't open her up, but opened the cabinet door and took out a bag from inside.
"There's dried meat here, and some dry food."
In the past, she was the one who packed things for him, but this time it was him who sent her away.
"You..." Gu Jiao opened her mouth and looked at him.
"Don't you want to go out of Beijing?" Xiao Heng asked casually, and received a few more things for her.
Well, I thought I was hiding well.
"Are you going to leave without saying goodbye?"
Gu Jiao shook her head like a rattle: "I wrote a letter to you, in your study."
Xiao Heng's expression changed slightly, he handed her the burden, and stared at her deeply: "Are you coming back?"
This question is a bit intriguing.
If she is the real Gu Jiaoniang, it is impossible not to come back.
Gu Jiao always thought that only Gu Chengfeng firmly believed that she was not the real Gu Jiao Niang.
And Gu Chengfeng would think so, 80% think she killed the real Gu Jiao Niang and replaced Gu Jiao Niang as another person.
Xiao Heng clearly understood that this body belonged to Gu Jiaoniang.
So why did he ask this question
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Gu Jiao's eyes, and feeling that if he didn't say something today, he might not have the courage to say it in the future. He opened his mouth and said, "Since you fell into the water two years ago, it's been very different. I know you It's Gu Jiaoniang, but sometimes it feels like you're not Gu Jiaoniang."
She is not, but she is.
This is a really contradictory topic.
"come back?"
He asked her again.
Gu Jiao paused, looked at him and said, "Whether I am Gu Jiao Niang or not?"
Xiao Heng nodded seriously: "Well, it doesn't matter if you are Gu Jiaoniang or not."
"of course-"
Gu Jiao rolled her eyes, swallowed the words that came to her mouth, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm back, can I watch you take a bath?"
Xiao Heng never expected that at the moment of parting she was thinking about this matter.
While he was stunned, he couldn't help but cry.
In the end... what kind of girl is this
He laughed in a low voice and took a few steps towards her, his strong arms gently clasping her waist, seemingly domineering, but restrained.
He obviously hadn't touched her, but Gu Jiao felt that the waist that was surrounded by him was on fire, and the fire burned all the way to the bottom of her heart, making her little head dizzy.
This feeling is very foreign.
Well.
Want to do something.
it's wired.
Xiao Heng looked at her fixedly, had a panoramic view of her dazed and coveted appearance, pulled the corner of his lips, and said to her with a three-point bewitching and hoarseness: "Okay, come back and let you see. Remember, it's safe to come back, one hair less... I'll wear one more clothes."
Ahhh!
