Princess Xinyang believes she is a ghost!

Princess Xinyang didn't want to see these two troublemakers, so she sent them back.

She asked Yu Jin to find Doctor Song and open a bowl of Bizi soup.

On the other hand, when Chang Jing came back, he didn't know what happened to Marquis Xuanping.

He performed Qinggong and came to Bishui Hutong. Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao lived here. Xuanping Hou, Huangfuxian, and former Zhuang Yuheng lived in Laojijiu.

Chang Jing immediately found the breath of Xuanping Marquis.

He jumped out the window.

The scene inside made him draw his sword in an instant, and he flashed to the side of the bed, keeping Duke Xuanping behind him, and being alert to the movement around him.

Marquis Xuanping shook his wrist tied to the head of the bed and said, "No one, come here first and untie this."

"Oh." Chang Jing picked up his long sword and cut the rope. His swordsmanship was precise and did not hurt Xuanping Hou in the slightest.

He picked up the broken rope and looked at it, and said strangely, "It's just an ordinary rope, why can't you even break this one?"

Marquis Xuanping raised his eyebrows and sighed, "You don't understand."

The body is hollowed out.

Chang Jing frowned, his eyes swept across the mess and fell on Xuanping Hou's "scarred" body: "You were beaten? Who did it? I'll kill him!"

This is too bad!

Chang Jing has followed Xuanping Hou for so long, and he has never seen him hurt so badly!

Xuanping Hou glanced at Chang Jing, thinking that Chang Jing was still young, he waved his hand: "Forget it, it's alright, no need to pursue it. By the way, didn't you go after Nangong Li? What about others?"

Chang Jing's face sank: "I didn't catch him, so he ran away."

Marquis Xuanping looked at him in surprise: "Is there anyone else you can't catch?"

It's not that Chang Jing's martial arts are invincible in the world, but that guy Nangong Li is obviously not Chang Jing's opponent, let alone a broken arm, how can he still run when he is injured

"Someone rescued him." Chang Jing hesitated for a while, but said truthfully, "It's the guardian of the Dark Night Gate."

Marquis Xuanping frowned: "Is that the dark night gate you stayed at before?"

"Um."

Chang Jing nodded.

The Marquis of Xuanping said: "Since it is a protector, it is normal for you to be unable to fight."

I could, but I just didn't.

Chang Jing muttered in his heart.

Marquis Xuan Ping didn't know much about the Dark Night Gate. He only heard that it was the most powerful and mysterious killer organization in the Six Kingdoms. When he met Chang Jing, Chang Jing was being chased by the Dark Night Gate and accidentally fell on him. and fell asleep in his carriage.

Xuanping Marquis thought that he would be "chased" by the people of the night door because he offended him. Chang Jing said that he was a person from the night door, but he didn't want to go back to the night door.

He saw that Chang Jing had some ability and proposed to let Chang Jing follow him, but Chang Jing did not agree at first, and he found that Chang Jing liked playing marbles, so he practiced hard for many days, and finally successfully won Chang Jing home.

Until now, Marquis Xuanping thought that Chang Jing was just a little traitor from Dark Night Gate.

How did he know that the one he abducted was actually the Young Sect Master of the Dark Night Sect

"But he won't live long. I cut him several times." Chang Jing said.

It seems that he wants to recover a little bit from the little misunderstanding that he couldn't beat the Guardian of the Night Gate.

"Okay." Xuanping Hou smiled, looked at him and said, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Chang Jing shook his head.

Xuanping Hou nodded: "If you have nothing to do, then do things for me."

Chang Jingjun's face darkened, now it's too late to pretend that he has something to do

After several months of review and controversy, the imperial decree for the award of meritorious persons has finally been drawn up.

In the frontier battle, Tang Yueshan, the military marshal of the world, had meritorious deeds, and he was awarded Tang Enbo and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Gu Changqing, the son of the Duke of Ding'an, took the lead and led the Gu family's army to annihilate the remnants of the previous dynasty, repelled the army of the state of Chen, and was named the third-rank Dingbei general, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

In addition, Gu Chengfeng, the second son of the Marquis of Ding'an, had meritorious deeds in defending the city, and was awarded the title of Commander of the Sixth Grade Yue Cavalry, with a reward of 800 taels of silver.

In addition, several generals who performed outstandingly in the battle were also rewarded one by one.

Doctor Tong and Doctor Song helped to pacify the plague.

The rest of the accompanying doctors also received their respective awards.

Gu Jiao was no exception. Not only was she the primary hero in quelling the plague, she was also an important general who defended the ancient city of Yue, not to mention that she single-handedly wiped out the 5,000-strong army of the previous dynasty.

The emperor named her the protector of the country.

The Marquis of Xuanping and Princess Xinyang were also heroes in the defense of Zhao Kingdom. The emperor meant to either confer the Marquis of Xuanping as King of Xuanping, or to promote Princess Xinyang to be the eldest princess of Dingguo.

But not both.

It depends on the choice of the couple.

In addition, Yuan Shoufu submitted a book to the emperor, asking for a junior assistant in the cabinet.

"Oh?" In the imperial study, the emperor looked at Yuan Shoufu in surprise, "Yuan Aiqing has been in the cabinet for so many years and has never thought of Li Shaofu, so why does it suddenly come to pass?"

Yuan Shoufu bowed his hands and said: "The old minister is getting old, and many things are out of his control. In addition, the affairs of Mrs. Zhuang have had a profound impact on the cabinet. The cabinet is turbulent, and its power and prestige have been greatly weakened. The old minister hopes that someone can revive the cabinet. Better The land is for His Majesty and for the Zhao Kingdom's court."

This can be regarded as speaking of the emperor's heart. The old man, Mrs. Zhuang, brought disaster to half of the cabinet, and the two second assistants were his people. Although he did not do any bad things out of the cabinet, the emperor was not very worried about handing over the cabinet to the cabinet. into the hands of these two.

The emperor said, "Yuan Aiqing's candidate for Shaofu is—"

Yuan Shoufu smiled: "Hanlin Academy Servant, Punishment Secretary... Xiao Liulang."

The key is that he is Xiao Heng, how can I get him back

You can't always bear the identity of Xiao Liulang all your life.

The emperor pondered for a moment: "You allow me to think about it for a while."

"Yes." Yuan Shoufu responded, the stakes are very important, and careful consideration is also right.

"That's right." Just when Yuan Shoufu was about to retire, the emperor stopped him, "I heard that the Yuan family is going to marry the Marquis of Ding'an? Is there such a thing?"

Yuan Shoufu said: "It is true, Gu Changqing and Yuan Baolin, the granddaughter of the old minister."

The emperor was quite surprised, but thought it was appropriate: "Changqing and Baolin... it's a match made in heaven."

Mentioning this, Yuan Shoufu smiled helplessly: "Actually, the two children agreed."

Yuan Baolin's misunderstanding that she was not pregnant has long since been resolved. To be honest, Yuan Shoufu felt that the two of them had no drama and that neither of them had much enthusiasm for each other. He thought that if one of them was unwilling, Yuan Shoufu did not intend to force the two to marry. Suddenly they both agreed one day.

It was like negotiating, but it was difficult for Yuan Shoufu to refuse.

The auspicious day of Qin Tianjian has been calculated, and it will be on the ninth day of March.

Lord Gu received the news that Empress Dowager Zhuang would personally come to inspect the mansion. He woke up before dawn, and Haosheng packed up and waited at the door of the new mansion neatly dressed.

He was excited.

Because I want to see Queen Mother Zhuang.

You know, with his official position, he did not go to the court much, let alone the queen dowager who was full of power.

How could he know that he had not only seen it, but also sneered at it.

The second reason for his excitement was that he finally wanted to meet the mysterious owner of this mansion.

This mansion was built according to the specifications of the Princess Mansion. At first he thought it was built for Zhuang Yuexi, and later he thought it was built for Princess Ning'an who returned from the frontier fortress.

But the Zhuang family was exiled, and Princess Ning'an was a fake, so who is the owner of this mansion

Wouldn't it be that little remnant Huangfuxian

No, I didn't hear about Huangfuxian's return to Beijing in the early stage of construction.

"Who on earth is it?"

Gu Houye was so curious that his heart was scratching like a cat's paw.

"Master Hou Hou Ye!" Huang Zhong rushed over, "The empress dowager's guard of honor is here!"

"Prepare to welcome you!" Gu Houye straightened the black gauze hat on his head, brushed off his wide sleeves, and bowed his hands reverently with the officials and attendants present.

The empress dowager's guard of honor stopped in front of the magnificent mansion.

Lord Gu said loudly, "Welcome the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!"

Everyone followed and saluted: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!"

Eunuch Qin got off the carriage first and opened the curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang disembarked from the carriage with a girl in Tsing Yi.

Gu Houye's eyes fell on the girl's blue skirt and white embroidered shoes, thinking that this is the owner of the mansion

Sure enough, her bearing is extraordinary, and she walks with more heroic and noble air than ordinary women.

"Come and see your county palace." Queen Mother Zhuang said.

"Okay." The girl responded.

Gu Houye frowned.

Why does Mao's voice sound a little familiar

Gu Houye raised his head boldly, glanced at the girl, and was stunned on the spot!

Why is this stinky girl!

He looked at the queen mother again-

The next second, he knelt down with a plop—

Not frightened, but frightened.

Isn't this the old lady from that girl's house

He had seen it in the countryside, and he felt familiar at that time, but he and the Queen Mother had not seen each other a few times, so he didn't dare to recognize them.

No one can recognize this!

How could the queen mother... be a country foodie old lady

Did he say anything disrespectful to the old lady... uh no, the queen mother

It's over, I'm so nervous, I can't remember it at all!

Gu Houye wanted to die, what did this girl do? How can you hide the queen mother in your own home? Why don't you give him a squeak

Tell him he will die!

Day by day, I know the pit father!

Gu Houye covered his heart, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack.

"This girl is here to kill me... She is here to kill me... "

Gu Houye felt that he was almost dead, so he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as if he were going to die.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't even look at him, and took Gu Jiao directly into the house.

Lord Gu: "..."

"Like it?"

In the gazebo, Empress Dowager Zhuang asked Gu Jiao.

"I like it." Gu Jiao said seriously.

I really like it. There are houses built according to the Bishui Hu, and there are also courtyards that are reproduced step by step according to the medical hall. In addition, there are pavilions, pavilions, waterside corridors, library halls, exercise rooms, and grasslands for horse riding and archery.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "Bishui Hutong will soon run out of space. I will move here someday."

"I..." Gu Jiao opened her mouth.

Empress Dowager Zhuang took a panoramic view of her expression and asked, "What's wrong? Can't bear it?"

Gu Jiao covered her heart.

Is this reluctance

When she left the village, Gu Jiao didn't feel that way.

She seemed to be… a little bit aware of complex emotions that she had never been able to perceive before.

Empress Dowager Zhuang handed over the house deed to her hand: "Don't worry, when you want to move, move again."

"Okay." Gu Jiao responded.

The two walked around the mansion and went back in a carriage.

In the car, Gu Jiao's heart suddenly twitched.

She covered her heart, frowning.

Empress Dowager Zhuang noticed her strangeness and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jiao pointed to her heart: "It hurts."

Empress Dowager Zhuang asked strangely, "You don't have any heart problems, why do you feel pain?"

Gu Jiao pondered for a moment, and her eyes narrowed: "It's not me, it's Ayan."

Gu Yan's heart attacked.

The attack occurred without warning. The Master was lecturing when suddenly the students below shouted. When the Master looked up, he saw Gu Yan fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaoshun rushed up immediately, took out the medicine in his purse and fed him to take it.

Gu Yan's heart disease has not had a serious attack for half a year, and occasionally feels uncomfortable, but it will be effective immediately after eating one.

But this time... it doesn't seem to work much.

Gu Jiao quickly ran back to Bishui Hutong.

Yao Shi was already crying.

Gu Xiaoshun ran out of the main room: "Sister! Sister, you are back! Gu Yan he—"

Gu Jiao stared, "Where is he?"

Gu Xiaoshun hurriedly said, "In your house!"

Gu Jiao entered the East Room.

Gu Yan's condition was very bad, and he suffered cardiac arrest again.

Everything seemed to go back to when the two met for the first time in the hot spring villa, and he was the same, and he might not be able to save him at any time.

Gu Jiao took out epinephrine and saline from the small medicine cabinet.

One stitch down, two stitches down, three stitches down...

After four injections, Gu Yan regained his heartbeat.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Jiao, his empty and dim eyes seemed to light up in an instant: "Sister."

He has long been called Jiaojiao by Xiao Jingkong, and he will only retreat if he is weak to a certain extent.

Gu Jiao took off her gloves and touched his forehead: "I'm here."

"You hug me," he said.

Gu Jiao gently hugged him into her arms.

Gu Yan breathed in her breath, closed her eyes with peace of mind, and said weakly, "I'm not afraid anymore when you're here. I'm leaving, you accompany me when I leave, I want you to send me away."
