Li Chaoge watched Gu Mingke bypass the screen and walk into her bedroom. Li Chaoge's eyebrows twitched. If it was another man, Li Chaoge's knife had already been put on the other man's neck? But that person was Gu Mingke. There is no Gu Mingke who has emotions and desires and always distinguishes between public and private. Li Chaoge didn't say a word and endured it.
Gu Mingke really didn't think much when he walked in, but when he stood in front of Li Chaoge's bed and saw Li Chaoge hugging the Qiluo quilt, his clothes were loose and his long hair was naturally hanging behind him, he finally realized that something was wrong. But Li Chaoge has already stretched out his wrist, and his expression is generous, without any intention of being charming. If Gu Mingke withdraws at this time, it will be embarrassing instead.
Gu Mingke could only bite the bullet and sit down, and put on Li Chaosing's wrist in a serious manner. He glanced casually, just in time to see Li Chaoge's beautiful collarbone under the collar, and those clear, bright, defenseless eyes.
Gu Mingke looked away as if he had been burned. Gu Mingke didn't dare to look at Li Chaoge again, but moved his eyes back, and saw the slightly wrinkled bed sheets, as if he could still feel how the owner turned over and fell asleep just now, and moved his eyes forward, to see the bright red brocade quilt, a pair of slender white His wrist rests softly on the embroidery? The red and white collide, making that arm particularly soft and beautiful, unbearable.
Li Chaoge waited for a long time, still not seen? Gu Mingke spoke. Her heart couldn't help but tense up, and she asked carefully, "Is the situation serious?"
Li Chaoge frowned, already prepared for the worst. Gu Mingke snapped back to his senses, realizing that he had been distracted, and had been on Li Chaoge's pulse just now.
Gu Mingke immediately withdrew his hand, his expression was still motionless and his posture was as clear as the moon, but if you observe carefully, you will find that his movements are much more anxious than before, and he is no longer stable.
Gu Mingke said: "The demon poison is not a serious problem, but there is death energy in this poison, which is naturally contrary to the aura. For the sake of your future practice, all these demon poison must be expelled, and there must be no sloppy."
Li Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief and startled her, but Gu Mingke kept silent, she thought something serious happened. Li Chaoge nodded, put down his sleeves, and was about to withdraw his hands: "Okay, I will pay attention."
However, before she could finish speaking, Gu Mingke suddenly stretched out his hand, and tapped a few acupuncture points on her shoulder and arm. His fingers are slender and well-proportioned, and his movements are clean and beautiful. Li Chaoge stared at his hands and was stunned. After a while, he felt a fresh air washing in his body, passing through the eight extraordinary meridians, and wandering in the Great Zhou. lock up. Her body became lighter in an instant, and the lingering demonic poison disappeared.
Li Chaoge felt it for a while, and asked in surprise: "Is this solved?"
"No." Gu Mingke said, "I will use my spiritual power to help you cleanse the tendons and cut the marrow, but practitioners are the most taboo of death. Cutting the marrow once or twice may not completely remove it. It is best to run it several times."
Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, and focused on another important point: "So, you were the one who helped me detoxify on July 14th?"
Gu Mingke didn't answer, he pulled up his sleeves and got up, and walked out calmly: "It's getting late, you should rest."
Looking at Gu Mingke's back, Li Chaoge thought to himself that this man is really a god, and it would be an insult to judge him with the emotions and desires of a mortal. Li Chaoge patted his sleeves and lay back on the porcelain pillow. The moonlight shines through the panes, quietly pouring on the ground. It rains heavily today, but at night there is a good moonlight.
Gu Mingke had already returned to the outer hall to sit down, and continued to read his files. In order not to disturb Li Chaoge's sleep, he turned off the lights. Anyway, he is a god, and the night will not affect his vision at all.
Li Chaoge was lying on the bed, suddenly feeling sleepy. She couldn't help turning her head, staring at Gu Mingke's silhouette for a long time.
Through the curtain of the bed and the screen, his figure was indistinct, only his side face was extremely white, looking like a fairy. Li Chaoge lay down for a while, and said in a low voice, he didn't know whether he was muttering to himself or asking someone: "When you choose one of the two, why is it always me who is abandoned?"
Li Chaoge's voice was very low, like green smoke from an incense burner, and it dissipated in a flash. But the movement in Gu Mingke's hands suddenly stopped.
Li Chaoge closed his eyes and murmured inaudibly: "I was lost when I was six years old, and finally came back when I was sixteen, but I was sent by my elder brother to be married. My father didn't say yes, but he didn't say no."
Li Chaoge will never be disturbed by external factors. In her world, if someone gives something to her, she will repay it, and if others don't give it to her, she will take it herself. She never hurts the spring and the autumn for the attitude of others, worrying about gains and losses.
But I don't know what's going on tonight? Suddenly, she couldn't control her emotions, and she felt a strong sense of agitation. It may be because of the ups and downs of the day, her emotional ups and downs, it may be that the trajectory of her life gradually overlaps with her previous life, so tough? She also feels discouraged, it may be because the moonlight is too good, or it may be the first time there is someone around her.
She suddenly wanted to say a lot, but the words kept chattering, every word was important, but there was no need to say a single word. In the end, she just sighed and said: "I found that since I was a child, luck has never come to me."
After she finished speaking, she didn't move for a long time, her breathing gradually became even, and she seemed to be asleep. After Li Chaoge poured out his thoughts, he fell asleep peacefully, but Gu Mingke's usually dead heart was shaken violently.
Luck never comes to me.
Gu Mingke repeated this sentence in his heart, and the palace around him suddenly changed. He seems to have returned to the tall tower, the vast open hall, a line of maids walked by, and the woman in black dark clothes sat on the bright platform and said softly: "Ke'er, destiny is the most unpredictable thing .You must be strong, self-disciplined, and restrained. You were born to be ordered by the king."
Li Chaoge said that she was not a lucky person, and neither did Gu Mingke. Sometimes he felt that Li Chaoge was completely different, and sometimes he felt that the two of them were very similar.
·
The next day, the imperial city exploded, and everyone was discussing yesterday's gossip. For many people, it was just a heavy rain yesterday afternoon. They waited boredly for the rain to stop. No one expected that many things would be completely reversed with this rain.
Tubo once again proposed a marriage, and Donggong proposed to let Princess Shengyuan go. Before the emperor and Tianhou made a statement, Princess Shengyuan robbed people outside the palace. She rushed to Pei's house with the government soldiers, and directly snatched Gu Mingke, the cousin of the Pei family and the young minister of Dali Temple.
One link after another, it is simply overwhelming to watch. Li Chaoge was originally a celebrity in the Eastern Capital, and her every move was on the cusp of the storm. She led three hundred soldiers to surround the Pei Mansion yesterday, with a mighty and magnificent momentum, which alarmed many people along the way.
I heard that after the rain stopped yesterday, Gu Shaoqing did not go home. Today, when he went to court, Gu Shaoqing came out of Princess Sheng Yuan's mansion.
The arrogant attitude and explosive plot instantly ignited all public opinion inside and outside the Eastern Capital. Now it's not just the imperial city, as long as there is water in Luoyang City, there are people discussing Princess Sheng Yuan's feat.
Tin Hau was standing under the porch of the Wencheng Hall. It rained heavily yesterday, but today is sunny and the air is very fresh. Facing the bright sun, Tianhou slowly teased a parrot to talk.
The female official came quickly, bowed to the Queen of Heaven, and said, "Queen of Heaven, the sage asked Princess Sheng Yuan to go to the Hall of Renshou."
Tin Hou plucked the hard beak of the parrot with her feathers, and said lightly, "Go."
The female officer paused, then quietly asked: "Tian Hou, why don't you go and have a look?"
"What am I going to do?" Tianhou put down the feather, and the palace servants next to her immediately stepped forward and wiped Tianhou's hands with a wet handkerchief. Tin Hau instructed the palace staff who domesticated parrots, saying: "You continue to train, it is said that birds are afraid of cats by nature, and this palace wants to train a parrot that is not afraid of cats."
The palace people all lined up and saluted: "Yes."
Tianhou walked into the hall, and the female officer hurriedly followed behind Tianhou. The voice of Tianhou was still calm, and she said: "The prince is confused. Yesterday I planned to go to the Hall of Renshou to persuade Your Majesty, but she made such a big commotion before the rain stopped. She has her own ideas, then Solve it yourself."
The female officer couldn't help frowning: "But Princess Sheng Yuan is young after all. She can kill demons and catch ghosts, but she may not be able to play with those old foxes. Isn't the Queen of Heaven afraid of Princess Sheng Yuan's disadvantage?"
Tianhou smiled softly, she sat on the bed, stretched out her hand to look at her nails, and said leisurely, "Do you know how falcons are trained?"
The female official didn't know, so she raised her hand and said, "I don't know. Please make it clear."
"The stronger the eagle is, the more rebellious it is. If you want to subdue this kind of wild eagle, you can't just rely on feeding meat? You must let it hit the wall and feel the difficulties outside, so that you can stay at your master's side and serve you. .”
"The queen..."
"Go down." Tianhou's tone was light, but her meaning was very firm, "There is no need to pass on the words of the sage and Princess Sheng Yuan, I know it well."
What the female officer was about to say was interrupted, she didn't dare to mention it again, and leaned down to salute: "Yes, the servant will leave."
At this moment in the Hall of Renshou, Li Chaoge was standing alone in the Political Affairs Hall. The main hall was empty, and the maids and servants shuttled around, but no one dared to speak to Li Chaoge.
Since Li Chaoge returned to the palace, he had never been neglected like this. Li Chaoge knew that the emperor did it on purpose. He deliberately wanted to leave Li Chaoge alone and give her a bad blow. No matter how easy-going the emperor is, he is the emperor first and his father second.
Li Chaoge also knew what he was doing? It was shocking, but the emperor was angry. Is it because Li Chaoge disregarded the royal family's dignity and lost the royal family's face, or was it because Li Chaoge thought he was smart and annoyed the emperor
Li Chaoge didn't want to explore. She also didn't want to get to the bottom of it. If she hadn't robbed someone yesterday, would the emperor agree to the prince and send her to marry him.
Li Chaoge has a thick skin and doesn't care about being left in the hall. If it was Li Changle, he might be crying now, but Li Chaoge did not make any waves, and even began to practice mental methods silently in his heart.
Yesterday, when Gu Mingke helped her expel the poison, Li Chaoge knew how big the difference in mana was between the two. Gu Mingke has such a majestic spiritual power with just a little bit of it. In comparison, Li Chaoge's accumulation is just a drop in the ocean, which is worth mentioning.
Li Chaoge had never encountered an opponent in his previous life, but in this life he was able to defeat demons and slay demons, and the journey was very smooth. Li Chaoge gradually became a little negligent, almost thinking that he was omnipotent. But what happened yesterday? Like a blow to the head, Li Chaoge suddenly realized that she was weak. In front of the vast world, she was still as small as dust.
Li Chaoge silently made up her mind that she must practice as soon as possible, and there should be no further delay. Gu Mingke said that the evil poison would damage the foundation, and Li Chaoge didn't want to always rely on Gu Mingke, so he tried to resolve it by himself.
The servants on both sides seemed to be busy, but they were actually observing Li Chaoge secretly. The sage deliberately beat Princess Sheng Yuan and left her alone. If it were an ordinary person, after being left hanging for so long, they would already be in a state of panic, like a mang on their backs. However, Princess Sheng Yuan didn't seem to be nervous at all. Instead, her face was focused, which made the servants feel that they were calling for someone. It was the one who disturbed Princess Sheng Yuan.
The servant coughed lightly, Li Chaoge woke up from his practice, and looked back at the person who came. The waiter smiled and said: "Princess Sheng Yuan has been waiting for a long time. The saint is not in good health these few days. There are so many things going on in Renshou Hall. The servants are so busy that they get dizzy and forget the princess. The slave deserves death. Please forgive me, princess." crime."
I just listened to these words casually, Li Chaoge declined with a smile: "Eunuch, what are you talking about. The saint is seriously ill, thanks to the care of the father-in-law. Has the saint woke up?"
"The saint is awake." The servant took a step back and said sideways, "Princess, please come with the slave."
After being left hanging for half an hour, Li Chaoge finally saw the emperor's face. The emperor's face was pale, and he looked weak. He was drinking medicine, and when he heard Li Chaoge coming, he put down the medicine bowl and leaned on the lower half of the bed with the support of the palace servants.
Li Chaoge knelt down and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "See the saint."
After she finished speaking, the emperor didn't ask her to get up, and Li Chaoge kept bowing down. Li Chaoge is a martial arts practitioner, this level of intensity is neither painful nor itchy for her, Li Chaoge looked down at the ground, his body remained motionless, not even a hair trembled.
After a while, the emperor's weak voice came from the top: "Get up."
Li Chaoge straightened up and knelt down in the hall with his eyes closed. The emperor slowed down, and said: "You are a smart man, so I won't say anything unnecessary. I just ask you, why did you lead troops to besiege Pei's mansion yesterday?"
Xingshi's questioning came, Li Chaoge did not change his face, and said: "I have no disrespect towards Prime Minister Pei, but the Pei family seems to have misunderstood my minister. My minister wanted to ask Gu Shaoqing to talk about calligraphy and painting, but they pushed back and forth, and my minister was rejected. Forced to have no choice but to make this bad move.”
Forced to help? The emperor smiled, Li Chaoge will not be forced to helplessness, according to the emperor, she clearly has a lot of ideas.
The emperor asked: "In front of me, you don't have to say such false words. As a princess, you act recklessly and look at no one. Do you know your mistake?"
Li Chaoge lowered his eyes, but straightened his back, and asked, "What did I do wrong? I don't want to get married, I just want to spend the rest of my life with the person I like. Could it be that I did something wrong too?"
The emperor's eyebrows moved slightly: "Are you blaming the prince?"
"The crown prince is the foundation of a country, and I dare not complain." Li Chaoge's eyes were covered by eyelashes, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, and said, "I just resent, I am not a man."
What Li Chaoge said was half-truth, half-false, she never felt that she was a woman? Even a dwarf, she never hated her identity as a woman. But sometimes, when the brothers can easily get what Li Chaoge can't get with all his efforts, she will be upset, why they are neither outstanding nor hardworking, just because they are men, they can be favored by everyone ? Even many women think this way, sparing no effort to maintain the superior position of men.
Why
When the emperor heard Li Chaoge's words, he had nothing to say for a moment. After a while, the emperor said: "Is he the prince?"
A trace of sarcasm crossed Li Chaoge's lips, yes, he is the prince? So no matter what, the emperor must protect the prince until the end.
Even if this person's talent is not enough to match the throne, even if this person's mind, martial arts, and body are all far behind by Li Chaoge.
The emperor leaned on the bed, looking seriously at his eldest daughter for the first time. This daughter is undoubtedly the most like the Empress Dowager, she combines the advantages of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, possessing both the nobility of the royal family and the health of a warrior family. If she is a man, even if she is the second son, the emperor can make up his mind to change the prince.
Too bad she isn't.
The emperor sighed, the heaven failed to fulfill the wishes of the people, it was really helpless. Such a radiant woman, it's no wonder that her brothers will fight against each other and change their hearts.
Thinking of Pei Ji'an, the emperor sighed secretly. He really gave Li Chaoge too much power, and made her have the guts to besiege the prime minister's mansion and forcibly rob the fourth-rank official. I don’t know how many impeachment papers have been sent today? Now, they are still in the hands of the emperor.
The emperor wanted to take back his power, and he realized that the current situation was no longer what he had expected. Originally, the emperor just wanted to find someone to help the prince? But now, Donggong and Li Chaoge became suspicious. Dong Gong took the lead in tearing her face apart, and with Li Chaoge's temperament of vengeance, she would never ignore it. If the military power and the demon master are left in the Li Dynasty singer, this knife will eventually fall on the prince's head.
The crown prince has been registered for ten years and cannot be discarded easily. The one who was discarded can only be Li Chaoge. It is natural for a woman to be an official to risk the disapproval of the world. Li Chaoge made such a big mistake, and the emperor took advantage of the situation to take back his power, which is also a matter of course.
The emperor's face was still pale, and he said in a light and weak tone, "Princess Sheng Yuan has no rules and acts recklessly. She led troops to besiege Pei's mansion privately. It is indecent and not good enough to set an example for a woman. Now take back her demon guard." As a commander, he will be suspended for self-reflection... "
Before the emperor finished speaking, voices came from outside the Hall of Renshou. The eunuch stopped outside and lowered his voice, threatening and admonishing at the same time. However, the cool and beautiful voice passed through the deep palace and clearly reached the ears of the emperor and Li Chaoge.
"I want to see you? Your Majesty."
"Gu Mingke?" The emperor frowned slightly, very puzzled, "Why is he here?"
Li Chaoge's eyes widened as well, and he turned around unexpectedly. Gu Mingke ignored his servants' obstruction, strode into the Hall of Renshou, stopped at an arm's length away from Li Chaoge, saluted the emperor, and said, "See? Saint."
"Gu Shaoqing." The emperor looked at Gu Mingke and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Mingke lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, and said calmly: "It is a crime for me to disturb the saint's recovery, but I did something wrong, so I must come to the saint to plead guilty."
The emperor was dazzled by this development, he glanced at Gu Mingke, a little confused about what kind of medicine Gu Mingke was selling in his gourd. The emperor followed the voice and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"One slap can't make a sound, what happened yesterday? It's not the fault of Princess Sheng Yuan alone, and the minister is also responsible." Gu Mingke seemed to pause slightly, and then said without changing his expression, "Actually, the princess broke into Pei's house yesterday. There was an appointment with the minister. Earlier, the minister and the princess had some conflicts. The minister was emotional for a while, so he made a bet with the princess. By mistake, it accidentally turned into yesterday's situation. This matter is inseparable from the minister. I would like to share the same crime with Princess Sheng Yuan."
Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke in astonishment. Li Chaoge could understand every sentence he said, but together, Li Chaoge couldn't understand what he was saying. Taking Gu Mingke's words apart, can each sentence correspond to it? There are indeed contradictions, bets, etc., but after he adjusted the order in this way, the causal logic is completely different.
Gu Mingke's words fell into the emperor's ears, and this matter became that Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke had an affair, and the two lovers had an affair. Gu Mingke was angry for a while, and said in a fit of anger that you would come to Pei's house to snatch someone if you had the ability, but Li Chaoge ended up Really hit? The door to grab. This development is very in line with the personalities of Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, and combined with the scandal of these two people some time ago, it really looks a bit like it.
However, even if Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge had really made a bet, would Li Chaoge not show up early
The emperor doesn't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world, but about the bet, the emperor believes it a little bit.
Is this really like something Li Chaoge can do
From this point of view, Li Chaoge did not intend to oppose the emperor. If she already has someone she likes, and she is unwilling to get married, it is understandable for her to act radically on impulse. The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he took the matter too seriously. How could Li Chaoge, a princess, have political ambitions
Li Chaoge's expression was very complicated, she looked at Gu Mingke inexplicably, what exactly was Gu Mingke talking about? He claims to be an upright gentleman? He never tells lies, but in the end he plays with language traps and intentionally misleads people
However, Li Chaoge's expression fell into the eyes of the people around him, making her feel like a princess, unable to restrain herself, even choked up and couldn't speak when she looked at Gu Shaoqing. The waiter couldn't help sighing, what a pair of fateful mandarin ducks. With a talent like Gu Shaoqing, how could Princess Sheng Yuan be willing to marry? What about Tubo Zanpu, who is in his forties? Oh, what a pity.
Everyone's expression was very sad, the emperor's cold and kingly side retreated, and the gentle and soft side of his temperament gained the upper hand again. The emperor sighed a long time and said, "You two are officials appointed by the court, and you are so confused in what you do. If you are so emotional, how will you be an official in the court in the future and enforce the law impartially?"
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke bowed their heads together, letting the emperor scold them. After scolding for a while, the emperor felt relieved, and said: "Princess Sheng Yuan and Gu Mingke abolished the public due to private affairs, and the influence is bad. Now they are suspended from their jobs and investigated, and stay at home? Reflect on it, when will you understand it, and come back to court again?" .”
Li Chaoge pouted secretly, before she moved, Gu Mingke had already bowed down: "I obey the order."
Li Chaoge could only follow suit and accept the punishment: "Your servant obeys the order."
After Gu Mingke received the punishment, he didn't feel the sadness of the suspended person at all. After greeting the emperor's body gently, he retired politely. Li Chaoge followed, and when she walked out of the Hall of Renshou, she caught up with him and said to Gu Mingke, "Stupid, I was the only one who was punished, but now it's okay, the two of them have been suspended together."
Gu Mingke didn't refute. He calmly accepted Li Chaoge's accusation and said, "It's rare to be able to rest. What's wrong? Have you brought my books here?"
"No." Li Chaoge said firmly, "Go back to Pei's house and move."
When Gu Mingke heard this, he understood that the things had been moved to the princess mansion. He was bathed in the sunshine, straightened his sleeves easily, and walked to the princess mansion in a leisurely manner to welcome his unlimited vacation.
Li Chaoge, as another unlucky guy who was suspended from his job, will also have an indefinite vacation from now on. In fact, how could Li Chaoge not know that the emperor first said "dismissal", but later when Gu Mingke came, the emperor changed it to "suspension". The difference is one word, but the meaning is very different. If there is no Gu Mingke today, Li Chaoge's official career will most likely stop here.
Wasn't that included in the requirement to marry by agreement? He didn't have to, but he did anyway. Li Chaoge accepted his love.
The sunshine in July was shining brightly, sprinkled on the ground, dazzling white eyes. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walked side by side in the imperial city. The officials and servants passing by on both sides couldn't help casting curious glances at them when they saw them. There were even many spectators hidden behind the corner doors.
Li Chaoge even saw Bai Qianhe's head when he passed by the town monster. Bai Qianhe's head was hanging on the wall, winking at her from a distance, Li Chaoge's hands were itchy, she was about to find a stone, when Gu Mingke pressed his hand and said: "Okay? It's a rare holiday, so go back first Bar."
Meng Qiu's sunshine made people dizzy, Gu Mingke stood sideways under the bright light, looking as good as a god descending from the earth. Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he nodded slightly: "Okay."
She has always felt that compared to words such as "I love you", "forever", and "swear to God", "hui" is the most secure. No matter the ends of the earth, no matter what you have experienced, as long as people come back, home is still there.
Li Chaoge followed Gu Mingke and walked towards the princess mansion. After walking for a while, Li Chaoge finally felt something was wrong: "That is clearly my princess mansion, why did you lead me away?"
