Gu Jing: "!!!"

His pupils shrank sharply and looked at Yelu Luan in disbelief.

Yelu Luan's expression remained the same, her blue eyes were as stern as an owl, and she pulled out the dagger again.

Gu Jing's face turned even paler, as pale as paper, his right hand covered his wound, blood stained between his fingers.

The blade of the dagger was stained red with blood, and the blood fell from the blade "tick, tick".

Yelu Luan casually threw the blood-stained dagger on the ground, and called him by his name in a cold tone: "Gu Jing, this is a return."

For Yelu Luan, Gu Jing dared to play with him like this, like he was a fool, this knife was his gift in return, to dispel his anger.

At this moment, Qin Zhun and Qin Xin just arrived, and the carriage stopped a few steps away.

Qin Zhun got off the carriage first, and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

He strode up to Yelu Luan, wondering why Yelu Luan was here, and asked hard, "Prince Yelu, you actually hurt His Royal Highness the Second Prince?!"

Qin Zhun's face was extremely ugly, he felt that Yelu Luan was crazy, did he forget that he was still on Daqi's territory now!

Yelu Luan wiped his hands carelessly with a handkerchief in his hand, "We Yan people have always had clear grievances."

What if he hurt Gu Jing? As long as Gu Jing didn't die, Emperor Daqi could still kill him. Anyway, he was already under house arrest in the capital as a proton, and it couldn't be any worse.

Yelu Luan felt that the breath in his chest finally came out, and he rolled his sleeves and said, "I have returned to the Siyi Pavilion. If His Royal Highness the Second Prince wants to take revenge, I will be waiting for you at the Siyi Pavilion!"

Yelu Luan got on his horse and rode away directly.

"stand……"

Qin Zhun wanted to tell Yelu Luan to stop, but was interrupted by Qin Xin's anxious voice: "Your Highness Second Prince, how are you?

Qin Xin exclaimed and ran towards Gu Jing, with worry on her beautiful face.

Gu Jing's right hand still clutched the wound tightly, watching Qin Xin running towards him anxiously, a ripple in his heart: Xiner, only his Xiner has him in his heart and treats him wholeheartedly.

And Qin Zhun...

Gu Jing looked past Qin Xin and looked at Qin Zhun, who was following him. Qin Zhun's face was also full of anxiety.

Gu Jing's heart was surging: Human feelings were cold and warm, when he was down, when he was in deep danger, no one else appeared, only Xiner and Qin Zhun came.

He now knows that the Qin family is the most reliable!

Qin Xin grabbed Gu Jing's left arm, her eyebrows drawn together deeply.

Gu Jing was in so much pain that he was almost unable to stand up, his hand was still covering the wound, blood was seeping out from between his fingers, the pain paralyzed his nerves, he almost couldn't tell whether the pain was in his thigh or... ...somewhere else.

His face paled even more, and he dared not think further.

Qin Xin shouted anxiously: "Quick, go and get the doctor!"

Everything that happened just now happened too fast, and the palace maids and servants around were shocked. It was not until this moment that they reacted, and they all surrounded Gu Jing.

Qin Zhun hurriedly instructed his chief to find a doctor in a hurry. A palace maid helped Gu Jing, a maid hurriedly prepared a sedan chair, and a maid went to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor. Everyone was in chaos.

So, the emperor in the imperial study quickly found out about this, and the whole person was stunned.

Only then did the emperor remember that today was the day when Gu Jing left the palace to open the mansion.

The emperor immediately ordered: "Send the imperial physician to visit, and then let Yuan Minggang follow him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The little maid who came to inform him ordered to retreat.

The emperor's eyes turned to Gu Zezhi, who was sitting by the window, his eyes twinkling.

The last time in the imperial study, the emperor tacitly allowed Gu Zezhi to deliberately mislead Yelu Luan.

Beiyan people are very ambitious for Daqi. If they feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of them, they are afraid that they will not die, and they will continue to liaise with Gu Jing secretly. Jing eats a bit of a loss.

Beiyan people are irritable and unwilling to swallow their anger. But Yelu Luan was in Daqi, and the emperor was certain that even if he had any dissatisfaction with Gu Jing, he would never kill him. At most, Gu Jing was beaten and taught a lesson. But he didn't expect that Yelu Luan would stab him like this.

The emperor turned the emerald jade on his thumb and sighed, "After this time, Gu Jing should also learn to be good."

As a prince, Gu Jing was born with a noble status, which also meant that every decision he made would also affect Da Qi, and he could not do whatever he wanted for some of his own selfish desires.

In the end what can do, who can make friends, he should think clearly!

Gu Zezhi smiled without saying a word, and drank tea gracefully with a tea cup.

A wise man learns to be good after a loss.

However, Gu Jing was obviously not.

He only blames others and never considers his own problems.

The emperor also took a sip of tea, then changed the subject and continued to talk about the topic they were discussing: "...Minzhou Japanese pirates and bandits have become infested. In the past two years, the Minzhou guards suffered heavy casualties. Let the imperial court send reinforcements."

While speaking, the emperor showed hesitation.

Gu Zezhi knew what the emperor was hesitating about. The emperor had long intended to pacify Minzhou, but over the years, Daqi had been in constant internal and external troubles, and the years of war with Beiyan had greatly damaged Daqi's vitality and the treasury was not full. Qi couldn't move, and he was afraid that other barbarians would move.

Gu Zezhi said bluntly, "If the emperor intends to pacify the Japanese riots in Fujian, I think now is the right time..."

The emperor moved his brows and listened intently with deep eyes.

The two cousins ​​were talking about matters in Minzhou, and the little maid serving in the imperial study did not dare to disturb them, held their breath, and only occasionally changed them into new tea.

There was only the sound of the two of them talking in the imperial study, and occasionally the sound of the wind blowing the leaves from the window.

After changing the new tea twice, Yuan Minggang and the imperial physician Ling came back to resume their lives.

Yuan Minggang detailed how Yelu Luan escaped from the Siyi Pavilion and stabbed Gu Jing's thigh with a dagger, and also mentioned that Qin Zhun went to the Second Prince's Mansion.

Hearing the name of "Qin Zhun", the emperor seemed a little surprised, the tea cup in the air paused for a moment, and a sneer flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say anything after all.

Yuan Minggang finally said: "...The second prince Yelu has returned to the Siyi Pavilion."

Yuan Minggang had to admit that the second prince of Beiyan was really a ruthless man who had revenge for revenge. Under the current circumstances, normal people would have already tucked their tails to be a man, so he was lucky to make such a scene.

The emperor's gaze turned to the imperial physician's order again and asked, "How is Gu Jing's injury?"

"Returning to the emperor, when the minister arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, the doctor from Huichuntang had already arrived. Neither the minister nor the Imperial Physician Wu saw His Royal Highness the Second Prince. His Highness only let people say that it was a minor injury and that the imperial doctor was not needed, so the minister kept the Imperial Physician Wu. Over there, come back and return to your life first." The imperial physician ordered Zuoyi to report, and there was a hint of panic in his expression, for fear that something might happen to Gu Jing.

The emperor still looked light, and took a sip of tea slowly.

The emperor put down the tea cup and said thoughtfully, "Since he doesn't want an imperial physician, it means that the injury is not serious. You can ask the imperial physician Wu to come back as well."

The Imperial Physician hurriedly ordered.

After the imperial physician's order was withdrawn, the emperor again instructed Yuan Minggang: "This is Daqi, not Beiyan. Yelu Luan cannot be mad." As he spoke, the emperor's eyes darkened.

Gu Jing is his own son, and Yelu Luan injured Da Qi's second prince with a weapon in front of the public.

Gu Zezhi hooked his lips, and said lightly: "Eating too well, I have nothing to do when I am idle, and I am free, the emperor, why don't you let him do hard labor."

emperor:"……"

The emperor thought about it and thought that Gu Zezhi's idea was brilliant.

Yelu Luan is the prince of Yan, and now Daqi and the state of Yan have a temporary truce, and they have just signed a peace agreement. For the hard-won peace between the two countries, he cannot kill him.

Let him do hard labor, he is so noisy, he can't just let it go lightly, otherwise, where is the big Qiweiyi!

The emperor instructed: "Yuan Minggang, you go to the Four Ceremony Hall in person, and pass on my word of mouth, punish Yelu Luan with thirty boards, plus one year of hard labor."

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince Yelu is still married." Gu Zezhi reminded in a timely manner.

The emperor thought about it, and changed his words: "Then let Yelu Luan get married first, and then send him to do hard labor."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Minggang lowered his eyebrows and clasped his fists in command, and glanced at Gu Zezhi calmly. He always felt that Gu Zezhi seemed to have a grudge against the third princess and Yingluo County Master.

Yuan Minggang quickly withdrew, and only the emperor and Gu Zezhi were left in the imperial study. The two did not mention Gu Jing and Yeluluan again, and the topic returned to Minzhou.

"Your Majesty, there are not enough troops in Minzhou. The main force of the Xishan camp must protect the safety of Gyeonggi. It is not a long-term plan to deploy the forbidden army to station in Minzhou for a long time. , to form a new army..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "Tell me more."

The two spoke attentively, and the waiters were also cautious, not daring to make any extra noise when pouring tea and water.

After half an hour, Gu Zezhi came out of the imperial study. After he left the palace, he went directly to the Qin mansion.

"Second brother Gu," Qin Zeyu was in the mansion and happily came out to greet her, "You are here to find my sister, I'll have someone call her."

Qin Zeyu pondered in his heart that he must entertain his future brother-in-law, make him feel at home, and give his sister extra points.

Gu Zezhi didn't come empty-handed, so he threw the dagger to Qin Zeyu.

Qin Zeyu quickly caught it, and couldn't wait to pull out the dagger. The silver blade was engraved with beautiful patterns and shimmered with cold light. Qin Zeyu took a piece of hair and put it on the blade of the dagger, blowing lightly on his mouth, and his hair was cut into two pieces.

"Brother-in-law, this is just blowing and breaking your hair!" Qin Zeyu was so happy that he called his brother-in-law directly.

Gu Zezhi listened to this "brother-in-law" very much, and he reminded with a smile, "Don't hurt yourself."

"That's it!" Qin Zeyu nodded again and again, playing with this dagger, he was reluctant to let go, and still remembered to lead Gu Zezhi to the Jiusi Hall in the front yard to sit down.

Qin Di soon came with Du Ruo. Seeing that the bear boy was enjoying himself with a dagger, he guessed that Gu Zezhi gave him a new gift.

"Xiao Di, I brought the blueprint for you." Gu Zezhi himself spread the blueprint on the red lacquer carved case by the window and called Qin Di to see it.

Qin Di glanced at the drawing and knew what it was.

This is the blueprint of the Chenjun Palace.

At the beginning of April, she and Gu Zezhi went to see the house together. Gu Zezhi asked her to make some suggestions, and she just talked about it randomly, what she thought of and said. To be honest, she couldn't even remember her own day. What did he say? Gu Zezhi remembered it and drew a new drawing of the house.

Looking at the drawing in front of her, the corners of her lips couldn't help turning up, like a delicate flower blooming slowly in the spring breeze.

Gu Zezhi looked at her with a smile and asked, "How else do I need to change it?"

Qin Ji: "..."

Gu Zezhi coaxed her and said, "You can build it as you want. The emperor gave us such a half-new house for us to build. It's the most important thing to live comfortably."

"Since it's going to be changed, it's better to change it all at once, don't you think?"

"That's right." Qin Di felt reasonable and nodded vigorously!

Du Ruo's eyes twitched, feeling that he was being fed a mouthful of candy.

What is "half-new and not old", as if that mansion can be picked up anywhere!

The mansion that the emperor chose for the Chenjun Palace was the mansion of the former Yongding Marquis Mansion. Not only was the location good, but the mansion was big enough. don’t know how many honors and honors were watching, but the emperor didn’t give it, but gave it to Gu Zezhi as the mansion.

Qin Di, who turned her back to Du Ruo, didn't see her subtle expression at all. She carefully read the drawing again, her slender fingers moved on the drawing, and said freely: "Brother, you said to add a flower gallery here in the garden. How about it?"

"And next to the plum forest by the lake. I want to build a warm pavilion. It will definitely be good to enjoy plums here in winter."

"By the way, how about setting up a path here? This way, the distance from Neiyi Gate to the garden is much closer..."

Qin Di kept talking excitedly, his face was flushed, and his eyes were bright and energetic.

Gu Zezhi mostly listened, no matter what she said, he should be fine.

Gu Zezhi has been looking at Qin Di with a smile, and he likes to see her high-spirited look, like the dawn that clears the night, more dazzling than the radiance of the sky.

While the two of them were talking, Qin Zening came back, and before he walked under the eaves, he heard his sister call Gu Zezhi "eldest brother" affectionately, with a subtle state of mind.

When he just returned to the mansion, as soon as he heard that Gu Zezhi was coming, he rushed over immediately, thinking to keep an eye on Gu Zezhi, he couldn't let Gu Zezhi kidnap his sister so quickly!

Hey, his sister just got back, how come she got engaged so quickly! It's not too late to stay for another ten or eight years.

As for Qin Zeyu...

Qin Zening glanced sharply at Qin Zeyu who was playing with the dagger, and guessed who gave the dagger, and felt that he had to be stricter with this younger brother.

A boy was bought so easily by a little kindness from others, and maybe he will be sold and given back to the people in the future!

"..." Qin Zeyu's scalp suddenly became numb, and alarm bells rang out in his heart. When he looked up, he met his eldest brother's unkind eyes.

He hasn't been in trouble recently, and Master Yue also praised him for his fast learning and diligence.

Qin Zeyu searched in his mind where he had offended his eldest brother, while trying to divert Qin Zening's attention: "eldest brother, third sister and..." He tried his best to swallow the name brother-in-law, "with Gu San Brother is discussing how to repair the palace of the county king!"

Qin Zening lifted his robes and entered the main hall, only then did he notice that Qin Di and Gu Zezhi were looking at a blueprint on the desk, their faces were still unsmiling, but in their hearts they felt that Gu Zezhi was quite good If you have a heart, you also know what to ask your sister to repair, so as not to get married and live in the future.

but……

Seeing the two people with their heads next to each other and their shoulders against their shoulders, Qin Zening felt unhappy again and felt sour, so he could only glared at Qin Zeyu again, feeling that his younger brother was indeed a fool.

Qin Zeyu was inexplicably glared at by his eldest brother again, and felt even more aggrieved: what happened to his eldest brother? How come this temper is like a thunderstorm in summer, and it comes as soon as you say it.

Qin Di and Gu Zezhi also looked at Qin Zening and said hello respectively.

"Second Master Gu." Qin Zening also bowed his hands to Gu Zezhi, with a lukewarm attitude, making it impossible to find fault.

He was about to ask Gu Zezhi to sit down when he heard Gu Zezhi ask, "A-Ning, how is your leg injury?"

Qin Zezhi would rather not eat Gu Zezhi's trick, and said lightly, "It's been more than a month, and it's all healed up." That means, it's too late for Gu Zezhi to be courteous, and he's not like that little kid. The ass kid is so coaxing!

Gu Zezhi said again: "I'm going to Minzhou in ten days, can you move your legs?"

Qin Zening: "??"

Qin Zening vaguely guessed something, and his eyes lit up slightly. Could it be that……

Gu Zezhi said with a smile: "If you can move, I will ask the emperor for an order to take you to Minzhou with you."

Minzhou sea bandits became infested, not only robbing merchant ships at sea, but also coming ashore in groups, burning, killing and looting, causing great damage to the coastal areas.

Qin Zening also knows this, but the court has not been able to free up manpower to rectify those sea bandits over the years.

Qin Zening almost didn't jump up, his eyes were glowing, and he said quickly, "Go, go! Of course!"

His heartache just now was swept away, and his blood was boiling, and he just wanted to set off now.

Of course Qin Zeyu heard it too, and her eyes lit up, looking at Qin Zening with admiration. He also wants to go to Minzhou to kill pirates!

Qin Di's heart jumped, that is to say, Gu Zezhi and his eldest brother are going to Minzhou?

Although she knew that her eldest brother wanted to break into the army, and that Gu Zezhi had also led soldiers in the western border, but on the battlefield, swords and guns had no eyes! What's more, Minzhou is still a naval battle...

"Xiao Ji." Gu Zezhi's gentle voice rang again, "There are many western goods in Minzhou, what do you want, I will bring you back?"

Qin Di made up his mind and knew that neither Gu Zezhi nor his elder brother would be willing to live comfortably in this one-third of an acre of land in the capital, walking the streets, drinking and listening to operas.

She can't stop them from building their careers just because she's worried.

Qin Di smiled, and answered crisply: "I'll go back and make a list for you." What I thought in my heart was that if there are ten days left before the expedition, I have to quickly think about what to prepare for them.

Gu Zezhi looked at her and his smile deepened.

Qin Zening was excited, he hooked his right arm to Gu Zezhi's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Second brother Gu, I'm treating you to a guest today, let's go out to eat as a family, have a good meal! "

Qin Zeyu was delighted, and the first one echoed: "Okay!"

He had been bored in the house for several days. Every day, he either practiced martial arts with Master Yue or studied with his husband, and his head was getting big, but both the elder brother and the third sister had said that the martial arts exams required answers.

Qin Di also knew that the bear boy had been bored for several days, so he put away the drawings, but heard Gu Zezhi casually say, "Let's go. You can take a good look at this drawing at night."

Qin Di gave a smooth "um".

So, the family happily went out the door.

Du Ruo, who was following behind, really admired Gu Zezhi. She could see that the girl from her family wanted to return the blueprint to Gu Zezhi, but she accepted it as soon as she was fooled. Gu Zezhi had one more excuse to visit his girl tomorrow.

Along the way, Qin Zening, who was in a good mood, became very intimate with Gu Zezhi, "Let's go to Yunbin Restaurant, which is just next door. The wine in their house is brewed by the owner himself, which is a must."

"Also, the Beijing cuisine in that restaurant is quite authentic. Later, you must try their eight signature dishes!"

"..."

The family didn't take the carriage, they walked directly over, and when they walked to the street, they saw a group of soldiers and horses from the five cities coming in a mighty way, and the leader was an acquaintance.

"Zening, are you going for a drink with your brother and sister?" Pei Qi pulled the reins and stopped a few steps away.

After saying hello, Pei Qi hurried to leave, "If I wasn't in a hurry, I would definitely ask you for a drink."

Qin Zening raised his eyebrows, "So busy?"

"Busy!" Pei Qi twitched the corners of his eyes, and said without hesitation, "The second prince asked Yelu Luan to stab him."

Qin Zening guessed that something was wrong, but was still surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "No life?"

He is very good at focusing on the key points. If there is a person in the second prince or Yelu Luan who is worried about his life, Pei Qi will not say so.

Pei Qi flicked the whip in his hand and said, "The gate of the Second Prince's Mansion is now surrounded by a lot of people watching the excitement, let us take care of it."

Pei Qi felt that these good people were really boring. Yelu Luan was long gone, and the second prince was also carried into the prince's mansion. Now there is nothing outside the mansion except a few pools of blood and the dagger that Yelu Luan murdered. , but in this way, it still attracted a lot of boring idlers, and the entire street was surrounded by water, and people from other mansions on the street were unable to move an inch, so they sent people to Wucheng Soldiers and Horses to file a complaint.

"I'm leaving." Pei Qiyi got on his horse's belly and rode his horse away. The people behind him also rode up and quickly disappeared at the intersection ahead.

Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu looked at each other, Qin Zeyu couldn't help but said to himself, "How could Yelu Luan stab the second prince?"

As Gu Zeyi walked away, he said casually, "Yelu Luan felt betrayed by the second prince."

From Gu Zezhi's sentence, Qin Zening immediately realized that Gu Zezhi also knew about this, and asked impatiently, "You know?"

Qin Di also likes to listen to gossip, and looks at Gu Zezhi with bright eyes.

Qin Zeyu hurriedly urged, "Brother-in-law, tell me quickly." He accidentally called out his brother-in-law again.

Gu Zezhi's words succinctly explained the misunderstanding between Yelu Luan and Gu Jing, all the way to Yuan Minggang and the imperial physician's report.

Qin Di was listening with relish, and asked casually, "Where is he hurt?"

Gu Zezhi answered simply, "Thighs."

Qin Zening said regretfully, "Thigh. It seems to be slightly injured."

Gu Zezhi smiled without saying a word.

Qin Di looked at Gu Zezhi's angular profile and stared at the shallow smile on the corner of his lips, always feeling that his smile seemed to contain something else.

Qin Di quietly tugged off his sleeve, blinked his eyes and motioned to him silently, hurry up, hurry up, don't give a shit.

Gu Zezhi sneered silently, and the smile could not stop overflowing from his eyes.

Knowing Qin Di's impatience, he smiled and said, "With Gu Jing's temperament, if he is injured, he will probably use his injury to win the emperor's favor, at least let the emperor have pity on him, after all, Gu Jing is the emperor's favor. Parent-child, blood is thicker than water, and the emperor is not a cold-hearted person."

"However, he said that he was fine, and even the imperial physician was not allowed to see..."

Gu Zezhi's pupils were as transparent as mirrors, revealing a clear sharpness.

Qin Di: "??"

Qin Di didn't understand for a while, and blinked suspiciously. Gu Zezhi didn't seem to say these words, but he seemed to have said it again.

She touched her chin, lowered her eyes and thought, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Qin Zeyu scratched his head and couldn't help but ask, "So, is he seriously injured or lightly?"

Gu Zezhi just smiled and thought to himself: I'm afraid this injury can't be described as "light" or "severe".
