Rebirth of marriage

"Did something happen?" Xie Jiu turned to look at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao nodded with a serious expression, "The second prince Di Rong is dead. Cao Zhicheng and King Di Rong both sent people to kill him. He should have died half a month ago."

"You asked someone to secretly help him?" Xie Jiu didn't expect Gu Xiao to do this. A day that the second prince Di Rong lived was a day to prepare for the war in Daxia.

"Half a month is already the limit. Several of our people have been injured. King Di Rong has decided to sacrifice his son and will definitely place the final trump card around him.

We can't prevent his death, and we can't prevent this battle either, so there's no need to make a sacrifice in vain. "

He rubbed Xie Jiu's head and said, "The war is about to begin. Although I am the only heir to Daxia now, he will definitely let me go to the battlefield in the end. I will not be able to sit in the capital and watch other countries invade Daxia. Jiu'er, I don’t worry about leaving you alone in the capital.”

"But when it comes time for him to let you go to the battlefield, he must be extremely distrustful of you. How could he let me go?" Xie Jiu smiled, "It was you who sent me away in advance, before you left the capital. He will also try to get me back to Beijing. He knows very well that I am your weakness.

It's not that time yet, if we act rashly, it will make him suspicious. Let's wait and see, okay? "

Xie Jiu is now pregnant. If it is not necessary, Gu Xiao does not want her to travel long distances. He can only follow her wishes first and then make plans.

Cao Zhicheng also received the news of the death of the second prince Di Rong, and finally started to arrange the funerals of Mrs. Cao and Cao Chengwang.

After burying the two people, he handed over a memorial to Ding You.

The emperor looked at his book, frowned, and asked Zhao Debao, "Have the assassins of the Cao family not been found yet?"

Zhao Debao bowed and responded, "Master Wu only found out that the assassin entered the Cao family through a secret passage. The secret passage was dug by the third master of the Cao family, and it has some involvement with the Cao family in the south of the city. The exact identity of the assassin is still unknown."

In fact, this matter had been reported to the emperor before, but the emperor was prone to forgetting things recently, so he mentioned it again.

The emperor nodded, "So, before the case is solved, why is Cao Zhicheng suddenly willing to accept Ding You? Is he willing to give up his power?"

"This servant is too stupid to guess the chief minister's thoughts." Zhao Debao lowered his head.

The emperor threw the paper aside and said angrily, "I think there must be a ghost here. Send someone to find out what's going on."

There was no need for Zhao Debao to investigate. Someone soon sent news that the second prince Di Rong was assassinated in Yuyou Pass. The assassin threatened to take the second prince's life for King Xiao.

"What?" The emperor stood up suddenly and said angrily, "What does Gu Xiao want to do?"

After yelling, he came to his senses and said, "No, King Xiao looks cold on the outside, but he still loves the people of Daxia very much, otherwise Mr. Feng would not have been helping the people for so many years.

No matter how much he hated the Second Prince Di Rong, he would not kill him in Yuyou Pass. He was not a reckless man and would not have thought that killing the Second Prince Di Rong would cause war between the two countries. "

I haven't heard of any grudge between Prince Xiao and the second prince Di Rong.

Moreover, King Xiao was not stupid enough to kill anyone and even claimed his family name. Someone was framing him.

His eyes fell on Cao Zhicheng's folding book. Is it Cao Zhicheng?

If the two countries go to war, it is true that the chief minister of the dynasty can steal his love without worrying about it. But in order to stay in the court, would Cao Zhicheng really do such a thing that harms the interests of the country and ignores the people and the country?

If this is the case, then it is really worse than a pig or a dog.

Most of the emperors who guard the country are afraid of war, especially the emperor who has never been on the battlefield and knows nothing about war. People always have a kind of fear and resistance to things they don't understand.

Thinking that this might be caused by Cao Zhicheng, he was so angry that he immediately approved Cao Zhicheng's notes.

He also asked Zhao Debao to announce that Gu Xiao entered the palace.

Zhao Debao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Majesty still retained his sense and could figure out that it was not King Xiao's doing.

It was an important matter between the two countries. Gu Xiao arrived very quickly, which made the balance in the emperor's heart tilt towards him. The emperor knew very well that it was his own mentality that made him afraid that Gu Xiao would replace him, so he was so guarded against him.

But occasionally, he would be proud to have such an outstanding son as Gu Xiao. Looking at Gu Xiao with a clear face, he said in a gentle tone, "I just received the secret letter. The second prince Di Rong is dead. The assassin claims to be yours." Human, but I know you are not such a reckless person."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I never sent anyone to kill him." Gu Xiao always had a cold attitude.

"Who do you think it could be?" The emperor looked at Gu Xiao, "I just received a note from Cao Zhicheng and Ding You."

He reminded pointedly.

Gu Xiao said directly, "King Di Rong and Cao Zhicheng, Cao Zhicheng's purpose goes without saying. He dragged the bodies of those two people at home for so long, but at this time Ding You should have received the news of the death of the second prince Di Rong. That he can get the news faster than His Majesty shows everything.

The second prince of Di Rong was not taken seriously by King Di Rong in Di Rong, but they mistakenly believed the rumors of the Cao family and thought that Xie Jiu had extraordinary abilities before they came to get married. How could King Di Rong let his disapproving son marry Xie Jiu? Unless he doesn't believe the Cao family's nonsense at all, and the purpose is not to thank him for the wine. "

He informed the matter in a speculative way, in order to make the emperor aware of Dijon's ambition and importance and make early preparations for war.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would let him leave the palace after hearing this.

"I want to go to Xie's house." Xie Jiu told Gu Xiao after knowing the emperor's reaction.

Gu Xiao guessed her intention, "Do you want Father Xie to return to Yuyouguan?"

"Yes, I am your weakness, he is my weakness, and food is needed most in war. I want Father Xie and Lu Laosan to secretly stockpile food from everywhere." The emperor cannot be relied on, so they can only rely on their own care.

Gu Xiao nodded, "I will send a few black feather guards to protect him."

It was related to Xie's father's safety, so Xie Jiu didn't refuse.

In a war, besides food, weapons are the most important thing. Xie Jiu asked in a low voice, "Is everything going well on the other side, second brother?"

When Gu Xiao decided to marry her from the iron ore she found earlier, she began to secretly forge weapons in order to worry that one day the emperor would attack Xie Jiu and he would be able to protect her.

Now those weapons can be put to use. Gu Xiao was prepared for a rainy day. He was worried that the Teli tribe would take advantage of Di Rong's attack on Daxia, so he decided to send a batch of weapons to Liaodong to give them additional support.

After Wen Erlang sent Wu Wanqing to Yuyou Pass, he waited at Yuyou Pass for the dowry delivery team from Liaodong to pass, and then returned to Liaodong with them.

Gu Xiao then asked Wen Erlang to transport a batch of flour cakes from Xie's workshop back to Liaodong when he returned. There were weapons hidden under the flour cakes.

Even though there were noodles as a cover, Xie Jiu was still a little worried. Now that the Cao family was watching them everywhere, they needed to be more cautious.

"I received a message from him today. We are halfway through the journey and everything is going well so far." Gu Xiao let her lean on his shoulder, massaged her temples and said distressedly, "I am responsible for these things, so don't worry about it. Take good care of your baby.”

While Gu Xiao and his wife were making preparations for the upcoming war, the emperor was lying comfortably on the soft couch, letting the Yungui people massage his shoulders and neck.

When he received the news of the death of the second prince Di Rong, he was worried and scared at first, but seeing that Gu Xiao was so calm and could directly tell the truth about the death of the second prince Di Rong, he knew that Gu Xiao would never ignore the matter.

The emperor felt at ease.

Caiwei was right, he was the emperor, he didn't need to know everything, he just needed to be good at employing people. All the people of Daxia were the ones he could control, including Gu Xiao.

"Your Majesty, is this strength possible?" Caiwei asked him with a smile.

The emperor lowered his eyes, grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and put his hand into her clothes, "Very good, but my Yungui people have worked hard, so they should rest."

"Oh, Your Majesty, this is the royal study." Caiwei pretended to refuse, "I will wait for you in the evening."

How could the emperor not understand her trick of refusing to welcome, so he pinched her plump breasts and said, "But I don't want to wait any longer. It's all because my beloved concubine is too seductive."

In fact, the medicine he took recently was too effective.

Caiwei said she refused, but she fell limply in his arms, but it didn't work out.

Zhao Debao said cautiously outside the door, "Your Majesty, Chief Minister Cao has been assassinated."

"Assassinated by who?" The emperor was disturbed and asked in a bad tone, "Is he dead?"

"He's not dead." Zhao Debao hesitated and said, "The person who assassinated him was Concubine Yun's natal brother."

The emperor immediately sat up, "Qi family? Weren't they driven back to their hometown? Why did they come to the capital, and why did they assassinate Cao Zhicheng?"
