Rebirth of marriage

The emperor was shocked by the paperweight he threw back, and he didn't know what he was angry about.

Gu Xiao was right. After Qi Yunwei's accident, he never bothered to ask Gu Xiao again. They were not close friends over the years, but this time he heard about Gu Xiao's invitation to Prince Gong to propose marriage. Why was this happening? angry.

"Is it because of a guilty conscience?" Gu Xiao looked at him quietly, "Or is it because of fear?"

Afraid that he would no longer join forces with him to help deal with the Cao family.

His heart was touched, and the emperor's eyebrows suddenly became angry. He wanted to get angry, but before he could find an excuse, he heard Gu Xiao say again, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. The Cao family is my enemy."

No matter what kind of relationship he and the emperor would have, he would never abandon his mother's revenge.

He looked indifferent and distant, and asked, "I wonder why your Majesty called me here?"

Seeing that he had changed the topic, the emperor didn't know whether to feel relieved or a little lonely. He didn't ask about the picking of Wei.

But he also knew that Gu Xiao had always been a man of few words, and even if he really cared, he wouldn't say anything to him.

Moreover, if he really wants to discuss this topic in depth, he is afraid that if they disagree, the two of them will eventually quarrel, and their current relationship is not suitable for getting worse.

Thinking like this, the emperor calmed down, pointed at a pile of excerpts and said, "These are all for impeaching you, what are you going to do?

Now the people outside have complained about you. If you let them continue like this, your reputation will be destroyed and your reputation will be rotten. It will be difficult for anyone to support you in the future, and it will even affect the reputation of the royal family. "

Gu Xiao glanced at the pile of papers and replied, "I will deal with this matter, but we have to wait a little longer."

Seeing his indifferent expression, the emperor thought that in the past he didn't care about his position or reputation at all, so he just thought his words were perfunctory.

He walked around the imperial study room irritably, "We've already made such a fuss, what are you waiting for? You know that the Cao family is targeting you, so why are you proposing a marriage at this time? Are you just rushing to give someone the clue?"

Of course not.

But the emperor had compromised on Cao Laosan's case, and Gu Xiao didn't want to mention his plan for this matter.

He stood quietly with his eyes lowered.

But in the emperor's opinion, he was careless, indifferent to the matter, and ignored the difficult situation that his ally was in.

Or maybe he is being arrogant?

Because he knew that those two were not of royal blood and that he was the sole heir to the throne, so he was fearless?

Suddenly, he felt a sense of boredom and frustration in his heart. He was irritated as to why Dr. Lin wanted to study some sterilization pills in his spare time. He was frustrated that he asked Gu Xiao to take over the empire that others had worked so hard to obtain.

Gu Xiao always had the same indifferent expression, and the emperor lost the intention to continue and said, "I will give you five days to handle this matter, otherwise, Xie Jiu's name will not appear on the royal jade plate.

Gu Xiao, you don't have to be in that position. If you disappoint me, I can choose a suitable child from the clan to adopt. "

He knew that he shouldn't say such words when Gu Xiao needed to join forces, but in fact his threats were of no use to Gu Xiao.

The father and son parted unhappy without saying a few words.

Gu Xiao quickly walked out of the imperial study. At this time, Prince Gong should still be in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. I don't know how far their discussions have reached.

After the marriage is settled and the fake Nihuang matter is dealt with, the people from Yuyouguan and the south should be arriving soon. By then it will be time to confront the Cao family and resolve Shao Yifan's matter.

He really didn't care about his reputation, but he would never let the Cao family discredit him. Besides, if his reputation was not good, it would be Jiu'er and their children who would be affected.

"King Xiao."

Someone blocked his way.

They are the queen, mother and son.

They also already knew that Prince Gong went to the Zhenguo Palace to propose marriage for him. They heard that the emperor summoned him to the palace, so they waited here.

Gu Xiao had no intention of quarreling with them, and was about to move forward, but the fourth prince stretched out his arm to stop him, "What's your hobby? Since you've already known Xie Jiu and fallen in love with her, why do you want to steal Wu Xiazi from me?"

"Get out of the way." Gu Xiao frowned. Today was a good day for him and he didn't want to see blood.

"King Xiao, can't you even greet me when you see me?" The queen used her status to suppress him.

But since the first time she attacked Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao had never saluted her. He seemed not to have heard of it, and with a wave of his hand, the fourth prince stumbled back and got out of the way.

The queen couldn't see his arrogance and said provocatively, "Has Prince Xiao ever met the Yungui people? Your mother has been dead for many years. I think Prince Xiao misses her.

Yun Guiren and Concubine Yun have exactly the same appearance. Even His Majesty regards her as Concubine Yun and feels pity for her. Prince Xiao should really go and see her so that he can understand his feelings for his mother. "

Sure enough, Gu Xiao's cold eyes were filled with anger.

The Queen is here to piss him off.

For some reason, she always felt that the emperor's attitude towards Gu Xiao was different recently. Moreover, Gu Xiao had Prince Gong behind him, and now there was a Duke of Zhen Guo. If the emperor's support came again, she would never want to see it. Arrived.

Rumors about Gu Xiao are spreading outside now. If he has another reputation for being disrespectful to his aunt, he will never hope to gain the support of the people in his life.

But she didn't expect that Gu Xiao would smile.

The queen had never seen Gu Xiaoxiao before, so she was a little stunned that this person who had no expression in front of him could actually smile.

Shouldn't he be angry at this time?Then they say disrespectful words or even do unkind things.

Gu Xiao walked up to her with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Queen."

The queen looked at Gu Xiao warily, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

The third prince also frowned, wondering what Gu Xiao wanted to do. The words his mother just said were definitely not words that would make Gu Xiao laugh.

Only the fourth prince who was swung away shouted, "Gu Xiao, please return Blind Wu to me, otherwise I will steal your thank you wine."

Gu Xiao shook his head, "Wanqing's eyes can already be seen. Her eyes are clear and very beautiful. Next time the fourth brother sees her, he must call her sister-in-law."

"You, that's my person, give it back to me." The fourth prince was furious, and as he said that, he took action to beat Gu Xiao.

He has always been the one to steal other people's things. When will it be Gu Xiao's turn to steal his things?

Gu Xiao ran away from the queen, and the fourth prince chased after him. For some reason, he lost his footing and fell straight onto the queen.

The third prince was shocked and wanted to support the queen, but his feet gave way and he followed her.

"Hurry and hold the queen." Gu Xiao ordered the maids and eunuchs behind the queen, but the hair needle in his hand shot towards the third prince's ankle.

The third prince's body turned and hit the queen's leg.

The sound of bones cracking and the queen's screams sounded at the same time. One of the queen's two sons broke her hand bones, and the other crushed her ankle.

The pain was so painful that she almost burst into tears.

Gu Xiao pulled up the fourth prince and scolded him, "I know you have always been domineering, but I didn't expect that you would even beat your own mother."

He looked at the third prince again, "And you, a great man, can't even protect your own mother, and I don't know how you learned martial arts in the past.

You made trouble in Prince Xiao's Mansion earlier and almost killed me, and today you caused the Queen to fall. You are still old enough to go into battle to kill the enemy, but you are still so ignorant. It's time to reflect on it. "

The queen, who was in so much pain that she almost came out of her body, heard his words of humiliation and belittling her son, her eyes were about to split, "Don't talk nonsense, it's obviously you who hurt me."

Gu Xiao chuckled and said with some helplessness, "I know the queen has always disliked me, so it's not surprising that she would blame this crime on me. In that case, I will resign first."

After that, he bowed his hands to the emperor who came over after hearing the news, then turned and left.

The queen brought many people with her, but there were also many palace people passing by. His move was concealed and no one noticed it. The emperor would not let the queen slander him at this time.

Gu Xiao is determined.

This episode in the palace was not mentioned again by Gu Xiao when he returned to the town.

The next morning, early in the morning, it was the day that Mingyuan Hou was Lingchi.

People had gathered around the execution ground early, and Xie Jiu did not go to see the execution. Marquis Mingyuan received the punishment he deserved, which was regarded as her revenge for the Zhao family's parents.

She followed Gu Xiao to Shili Changting, waiting for the people who had been exiled from Mingyuan Hou Mansion.
