In the exquisite water pavilion of Jianglin Palace, the emperor looked at the second prince Gu Jing who was kneeling down, his expression cold.

"Father," Gu Jing argued with her back straight, "The son is innocent!"

Gu Jing was called here by the emperor before a stick of incense. As soon as he came, the emperor threw a token in front of him, which was the token of King Duan. At that time, Commander Jin Yiwei was reporting the results of the interrogation, and the criminal had confessed that he had come to assassinate Gu Zezhi on the order of the Prince Duan.

After the commander Jin Yiwei finished his assignment, he was sent off by the emperor. After that, Gu Jing knelt here, and has been kneeling until now.

Gu Jing knew that he was in trouble.

After all, Prince Duan shot Gu Zezhi, but he stabbed his father "inadvertently".

Now it is no longer a question of whether the king will succeed, but what will the father think?

Does the father think that he wants to intervene in the controversy over the royal palace? !

"Father, my son accompanied Ms. Qin to Qingyun County today. Miss Qin's personal jade pendant was stolen by a thief. Therefore, my son would like to ask the local parent official to help find it." Gu Jing said sincerely. , "Erchen really didn't know that the third uncle of Duanwangfu was also in the county seat. Erchen..."

Regardless, Gu Jing must bite his teeth in denial.

He secretly rejoiced, but fortunately Qin Xin found a reasonable excuse at the time.

"Gu Jing, you dare to lie to me!" The emperor looked at Gu Jing directly. When he was angry, the imperial dignity made people afraid to look directly at him, "What tricks do you want to play?"

"Father," Gu Jing walked a few steps on her knees, kowtowing to the emperor, "You have misunderstood your son, you dare not lie!"

The emperor squinted slightly and remained silent, noncommittal.

The silence spread, and Gu Jing's heart became more disturbed.

"Father..."

Finally, Gu Jing couldn't suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She opened her mouth and wanted to distinguish, but the emperor didn't want to listen anymore. He waved his hand and sent him down, saying: "From today, you don't want to go out of the palace."

Gu Jing's scalp was a little numb, and he replied dullly, "Yes, Father."

Gu Jing bowed his head and stepped back.

The great **** Zhou Xin, who was serving in the Linglong Water Pavilion, handed tea to the emperor and said with relief: "The emperor, please calm down first."

The emperor looked at the slightly swaying curtain in front of him, with a mocking sneer on his lips, and asked, "Zhou Xin, do you believe what he said?"

"..." How dare Zhou Xin answer.

The emperor didn't really want to get any answers from Zhou Xin, and punched his right hand twice on the desk.

He had just decreed that Gu Zezhi should enter Beijing to study martial arts, and the intention was not mentioned in the decree. He did not even disclose the slightest words to Uncle Duan, even in the court. With this thought of him, how could Prince Duan be so impatient to send people to chase him down? !

Unless the Prince of Duan knows that if Gu Zezhi is allowed to enter the capital, his own position will not be guaranteed.

The emperor still remembered that he also mentioned casually, "The concubine of the Royal Palace must not be messed up, and the concubine must be the son of the majesty." At that time, the only person who heard him was Gu Jing, who happened to come here to please him!

In all likelihood, Gu Jing is taking this to "show good" to Prince Duan.

"Cough cough cough..."

The emperor coughed suddenly and violently, coughing again and again, almost breathless.

The great **** Zhou Xin rushed to give the emperor a favor, and was about to call someone to declare the emperor. The emperor raised his hand with difficulty and stopped him.

"Ahem!" The emperor was still coughing.

Zhou Xin was helpless, and hurried to take the pill made by the imperial physician and served the emperor to take it.

With great difficulty, the emperor slowed down, his face pale, and he was exhausted and weak.

"Don't tell the queen, lest she worry." The emperor said lightly.

Zhou Xin hesitated to speak, he served close to the emperor, and he was one of the few people who knew the condition of the emperor's dragon.

The emperor's dragon body was deteriorating during this period, but it was secret.

Zhou Xin knew this was for the Sixth Prince.

If the courtier knew that the emperor's dragon body was so bad, he would have to "force" the crown prince up and down again.

"Boom!"

There was thunder from outside the window, and the overcast clouds in the sky outside revealed a sense of danger coming from the wind and clouds.

The rain fell down, raining like a curtain.

In the inn in Qingyun County, Qin Jiao watched the sudden rainstorm and asked Xiao Ze casually, "Are you leaving?"

Xiao Ze nodded, "Yeah".

Qin Jiu felt relieved, but with a look of goodbye on his face, he blessed: "A good journey, don't be chased by others!"

She secretly said in her heart: Even if you are hunted down, don't come to her!

Her thoughts were almost written on her face, Xiao Ze could see it at a glance, and the sword eyebrows were slightly raised.

"So you care about me so much." Xiao Ze smiled, with a particularly gentle and kind smile, "I will take care of myself before seeing you again."

The young man in front of him has such beautiful eyebrows. When he stares at a person so deeply, it is inevitable that his heartbeat will miss two beats.

Qin Jiao's smile froze, and he always felt that his words were like cursing her.

Xiao Ze left that day.

And those government officials never came to investigate again, Qin Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to the reasons behind this, in short, he had survived the disaster without any surprises!

On the same day, Qin Jiu proposed to Xu Biaotou to leave Qingyun County the next day.

To Xiao Ze, Qin Jiu simply said, "He left beforehand," Xu Biaotou didn't ask much, they packed up their bags and set off early the next morning.

A team of motorcades left the county seat smoothly and drove another two days. After arriving in Fenggu County, Longzhou, the dart team's errand was over.

Fenggu County is only half a day away from the capital. This is a place chosen by Qin Jiu after repeatedly recalling the plot of the novel.

Originally, she planned well to open a small shop here, and later set up a female household, happily avoiding the fate of being a cannon fodder, who would have thought...

Hey.

Qin Jiao sighed. After resting for two days, she found a middleman and looked at the shop as planned.

After going around for a few days, Qin Jiu finally rented a small shop on the main street.

This shop has two front and rear shops. There is a shop in the front and people can live in the back. There is also a small yard where you can grow flowers and vegetables. The rent for a year is only thirty taels of silver, which is perfect for Qin Jiu. Up.

In fact, she knew in her heart that she had been here for a while, but she always had to do a full set of plays.

really--

A few days after she rented the shop, a luxurious black painted carriage stopped in front of the shop.

At that time, Qin Jiu had just picked up some ingredients and came back. Before entering the door, he saw an old maid getting out of the carriage with the help of the little maid.

This old mother Qin Jiu also recognized that it was the mother Xu who sent her back to the inn in Qingyun County that same day. She wore a navy blue contrast armor, and her every move was like a ruler.

As soon as she stood still, she saw Qin Jiao not far away, smiled immediately, greeted her, and said, "Miss Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Mother Xu, why are you here?" Qin Jiu showed just the right amount of surprise, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Is the young man better?"

Mother Xu immediately replied: "The little master is all well, and she often says that she wants to see the girl again, and thank the girl in person. Our master also wants to see the girl."

"Ms. Gu is also in Fenggu County?" Qin Jiu asked.

In the next instant, the curtain of the carriage was opened by a plain white hand, revealing a beautiful and graceful face, and the other party looked at her with a smile.

Qin Jiao stared slightly, she did not expect the queen to come in person.

"Mrs. Gu," Qin Jiu said happily, "Why are you here? Come in and sit down."

Queen Wei looked at Qin Jiao intently, as if trying to imprint her face in her mind, and then smiled. She helped Mother Xu to get out of the carriage.

Qin Jiao quickly entered the shop with the lord and servant.

This shop Qin Jiu has been arranged in a rush, and he asked the carpenter to come and build a cabinet for the snacks in the front shop. The shop was filled with a faint woody fragrance.

"Mrs. Gu," Qin Jiu wrinkled his nose in embarrassment, "I'm still in a mess here, I can't clean it up."

While she was talking, she led them to the back room.

There is a small courtyard behind the shop, which is a row of wing rooms, where Qin Jiao lives.

The previous tenant also left some unnecessary furniture. Qin Jiu took a look at the remaining silver in his hand, and simply cleaned it without replacing it. He also bought a few pots of flowers and plants, which looked refreshing and refreshing.

"You are doing a good job here." Empress Wei smiled and praised.

"You're overwhelmed." Qin Jiu asked her to sit down, "I'll make you a cup of tea..."

Before Qin Jui finished speaking, Empress Wei suddenly grabbed her right wrist anxiously, and then held her tightly in her arms.

"Good boy. You, you have suffered..."

Queen Wei choked in her voice, and she could clearly feel that the petite and thin body in her arms was a little stiff. For fear of frightening the child, she had to let her go.

Sure enough, as soon as she let go of her hand, she saw the child looking at herself blankly. She quickly cleaned up her emotions and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid. I am your aunt."

"what?"

Qin Jiao looked at Empress Wei "shocked", and for a while, she blinked slowly.

Queen Wei's nose was a bit sore, and she said in her heart: This child has really suffered a serious crime these years.

Thinking that Youbai had described to herself the large and small injuries on her body last time, as well as the various kinds of injuries that Zening had inquired about from Jiangyu County, Empress Wei took the hearts of Zhao Aman and his wife thousands of times.

"Don't be afraid, there is an aunt, no one dares to bully you anymore." Queen Wei said softly, her eyes slightly moist.

"Are you my aunt?" Qin Jiu asked in a daze.

"Ok."

Queen Wei nodded vigorously, knowing in her heart: Except that the little girl was shocked when she first heard that she was her aunt, her performance was very calm. Obviously, she must have known that she was not Zhao Aman. raw.
