In the Linglong Water Pavilion of the Jianglin Palace, the emperor looked at the second prince, Gu Jing, who was kneeling below, his face was cold.

"Imperial Father," Gu Jing's back was straight, he argued, "My son is innocent!"

Gu Jing was called here by the emperor in front of a stick of incense. As soon as he came, the emperor threw a token in front of him, which was the token of Prince Duan. At that time, the commander of Jin Yiwei was reporting the results of the trial, and the prisoner had confessed that he had been ordered by Prince Duan to assassinate Gu Zezhi.

After Jin Yiwei's commander finished his report, he was sent away by the emperor. After that, Gu Jing knelt down here and has been kneeling until now.

Gu Jing knew that he was in trouble.

After all, Prince Duan still shot at Gu Zezhi, but he "unintentionally" stabbed his father.

Now it is not a question of whether Prince Duan can succeed, but what will his father think?

Does the royal father think that he wants to intervene in the dispute between the descendants of Duan Wangfu? !

"Father, Erchen accompanied Qin Er girl to Qingyun County today. Qin Er girl's personal jade pendant was stolen by a thief, so Erchen wanted to ask the local parents to help find it." Gu Jing said sincerely. , "I really don't know that the third uncle of Duanwang's mansion is also in the county seat, my son..."

No matter what, Gu Jing had to grit his teeth in denial.

He was secretly grateful that Qin Xin had found a reasonable excuse at that time.

"Gu Jing, how dare you lie to me!" The emperor looked directly at Gu Jing, when he was angry, the imperial majesty in his suit made people dare not look directly, "What tricks do you want to play?"

"Father," Gu Jing took a few steps on his knees and kowtowed heavily to the emperor, "You have misunderstood my son, and my son does not dare to lie!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent, noncommittal.

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

"Father..."

Finally, Gu Jing couldn't hold back the uneasiness in his heart, and wanted to argue, but the emperor didn't want to listen anymore, so he waved his hand and sent him down, saying, "From today onwards, you will not go out of the palace."

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

Gu Jing bowed his head and stepped back.

Zhou Xin, the eunuch serving at Linglong Water Pavilion, handed tea to the emperor, and said with relief, "Your Majesty, 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?"

"..." Zhou Xin dared to answer.

The emperor didn't really want to get any answer from Zhou Xin either, and he knocked his right hand into a fist on the desk twice.

He had just issued a decree to summon Gu Zezhi to Beijing to study martial arts, and the decree did not mention the intention to change the establishment of the heir. With this thought in his mind, why would Prince Duan be so eager to send someone to chase him all the way? !

Burning text

Unless Prince Duan knew that if Gu Zezhi was allowed to enter the capital, his own throne would not be guaranteed.

The emperor still remembered that he casually mentioned that "the concubines of Duan Wang's mansion can't be messed up, they have to let the direct descendants inherit the title", but at that time, besides Zhou Xin, only Gu Jing, who just happened to come over to greet him!

Nine times out of ten, Gu Jing was using this to "show goodwill" to Prince Duan.

"Cough cough cough..."

The emperor suddenly coughed violently, again and again, until he could hardly breathe.

The great eunuch Zhou Xin rushed to give the emperor good luck, and was about to call someone to declare the imperial doctor, but the emperor raised his hand with difficulty and stopped him.

"Cough cough cough!" The emperor was still coughing.

Zhou Xin was helpless, and hurriedly went to get the pills secretly made by the imperial doctor and served the emperor to take them.

Finally, the emperor slowed down, his face was pale, and he was exhausted and powerless.

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

Zhou Xin was hesitant to say anything. He served the emperor closely, and he was one of the few people who knew the emperor's dragon body condition.

The emperor's dragon body was getting worse and worse these days, but it was kept secret.

Zhou Xin knew that this was for the sixth prince.

If the courtiers knew that the emperor's dragon body had already deteriorated to this point, the court would have to "force" the crown prince again.

"Boom!"

There was a sound of thunder outside the window, and the sky outside was covered with clouds, revealing a sense of danger that was about to come.

The rain fell in a rush, and it rained like a curtain.

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

Xiao Ze nodded and said "um".

Qin Di was relieved in his heart, but he showed a look of resignation on his face, and blessed: "The journey is smooth, don't be chased and killed again!"

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

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

"It turns out that you care about me so much." Xiao Ze smiled, with a very gentle and kind smile, "I will take good care of you before I see you again."

The young man in front of him had such beautiful eyebrows and eyes that when he stared at someone so deeply, it was inevitable that his heart skipped two beats.

The smile at the corner of Qin Di's mouth froze, and he always felt that his words were like cursing her.

Xiao Ze left that day.

And those yachas never came to investigate again, Qin Di was too lazy to pay attention to the reason behind this, in short, he survived this disaster without any danger!

On the same day, Qin Di proposed to Xu Botou to leave Qingyun County the next day.

As for Xiao Ze, Qin Di simply said, "He left beforehand", but Xu Biao didn't ask any further questions. They packed up their bags and set off early the next morning.

The team went out of the county smoothly and drove for another two days. After reaching Fenggu County in Longzhou, the escort team's errand was over.

Fenggu County is only half a day away from the capital. This is a place that Qin Di chose 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 to happily avoid the fate of becoming cannon fodder, who would have thought...

Hey.

Qin Di sighed, and after two days of rest, she found a middle-class person, and still looked at the shop as originally planned.

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

This shop has two rooms, front and back. 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 annual rent is only 32 taels of silver. For Qin Di, it is more suitable. .

In fact, she knew in her heart that she would be here for a short time, but she always had to do a full set of dramas.

really

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

At that time, Qin Di had just come back from buying some ingredients, and before he entered the door, he saw an old lady get off the carriage with the help of a little maid.

This old mama Qin Di also recognized that it was Mama Xu who sent her back to the inn in Qingyun County that day. She was wearing a navy blue matching suit, and her every move seemed to be measured with a ruler.

As soon as she settled down, she saw Qin Di not far away, she immediately smiled, greeted her, and said, "Miss Qin, long time no see."

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

Madam Xu replied immediately: "My little master is all well. He often said that he wanted to see the girl again, so I would like to thank her in person. Our master also wants to see the girl."

"Is Mrs. Gu also in Fenggu County?" Qin Di asked.

The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open by a plain white hand, revealing a beautiful and graceful face, and the other party looked at her with a smile.

Qin Di's eyes narrowed slightly, she did not expect the queen to come in person.

"Mrs. Gu," Qin Di said happily, "why are you here, come in and sit."

Empress Wei looked at Qin Di intently, as if she wanted to imprint her face in her mind, and then smiled. She helped Mother Xu's hand out of the carriage.

Qin Di hurriedly entered the shop with the lord and servant.

Qin Di had already arranged this shop in various ways, and he also invited a carpenter to make a set of cabinets for snacks in the shop in front. The shop was filled with a faint woody fragrance.

"Mrs. Gu," Qin Di said embarrassedly, wrinkling his nose, "I'm still in a mess here, and it's too late to clean up."

As she spoke, she led them to the back room.

Behind the shop was a small yard, which was a row of wing rooms, where Qin Di lived.

The previous tenant also left some unwanted furniture. Qin Di estimated the remaining money in his hand, and only cleaned it briefly without replacing it. He also bought a few pots of flowers and plants, which looked refreshing and refreshing.

"You've done a good job here." Queen Wei praised with a smile.

"You passed the prize." Qin Di asked her to sit down, "I'll make you a cup of tea..."

Before Qin Di could finish speaking, Empress Wei suddenly and eagerly grabbed her right wrist and held her tightly in her arms.

"Good boy. You, you suffer..."

Queen Wei's voice was choked, she could clearly feel that the petite, thin body in her arms was a little stiff, for fear of scaring the child, she could only let her go reluctantly.

Sure enough, as soon as she let go, she saw the child staring at her blankly. She quickly packed up her emotions and said, "Xiaoji, don't be afraid. I'm your aunt."

"what?"

Qin Di looked at Empress Wei in "shocked", and after a while, she blinked slowly.

Queen Wei's nose was a little sour, and she said to herself: This child has really suffered a great crime these years.

Thinking of the large and small injuries that Youbai had described to her last time, and what Zening had inquired about from Jiangyu County, Queen Wei had the heart that Zhao Aman and his wife had been slashed by a thousand cuts.

"Don't be afraid, with your aunt here, no one dares to bully you again." Queen Wei said gently, her eyes slightly moist.

"Are you my aunt?" Qin Di asked blankly.

"Ok."

Empress Wei nodded vigorously, knowing what she knew: Except when the little girl was shocked when she first heard that she was her aunt, she was very calm. Obviously, she must have already known that she is not Zhao Aman.raw.
