Rebirth of marriage

The emperor did not expect that Gu Xiao would kill Caiwei in front of him.

It was indeed Caiwei who encouraged him to take the elixir. The Heavenly Master also found many Taoist priests, but none of them were very capable, so Caiwei introduced him to the palace.

But he did heal Caiwei's face. He could restore such a miserable face to its original appearance. If he hadn't had some real ability, how could he be so easily deceived as emperor?

But the elixir killed the Heavenly Master and made Caiwei lose her mind with fear.

This shows that there is indeed a problem with elixirs, and there is also a problem with picking weeds.

However, even if Caiwei was at fault, he was his person and it was his responsibility to deal with it. Why should Gu Xiao overstep his authority?

Gu Xiao strangled her to death without even asking him. He didn't take himself as the emperor seriously at all.

He was so angry that he stepped forward and grabbed the knife from the commander of the imperial army, and put it on Gu Xiao's neck, "Gu Xiao, how dare you, how dare you?"

The commander of the imperial army who had his sword robbed him hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, think twice."

Seeing this, he also understood that Concubine Yun encouraged the emperor to take the elixir, which was poisonous.

They were on duty in the palace and were more aware of the emperor's importance and admiration for the Celestial Master. If King Xiao hadn't found out in time, I was afraid that the emperor would be like the Celestial Master in a while.

At that time, in order to conceal the truth, will Concubine Yun, who killed the emperor, spare them those who were working in the palace?

King Xiao saved their lives in disguise, especially now that King Xiao was the emperor's only son, they did not want him to die under his majesty's sword.

If King Xiao resists, they, as the emperor's imperial guards, will have to capture King Xiao. They are even less willing to fight against King Xiao. If they win, the country will have no heirs, and there will be no possibility of civil strife in Daxia in the future. If they lose, they will offend the new king in the future. emperor.

He just hoped that the emperor would not be impulsive.

Gu Xiao raised his hand and clamped the knife, looked at the emperor, his eyes were calm, "Did she tell you that she can give birth to an heir for you, and you can live longer by taking the elixir, and then you can be the emperor for a long time? Can you also cultivate the prince you like with your own hands?

Whether she can give birth to royal blood, let’s not talk about it for the moment, even if she has given birth to it, have you never thought that one day, she will leave the father and leave a son? "

The emperor subconsciously wanted to refute, but Caiwei didn't dare and Caiwei couldn't do it, but he couldn't say anything. Facts have proved it.

"Have Cao Zhicheng told you that you don't have the support of the prince now? He deserves your trust, but you have never thought that he sent Caiwei to the palace. In the future, the Cao family can also support the children in Caiwei's belly. No matter whether the person in her belly is named Gu or not.

History repeats itself, so why are you planning so hard?Or does His Majesty believe that he can control Caiwei? "

"Shut up, shut up." The emperor became angry. Gu Xiao didn't respect him and dealt with his concubine at will. This was one of the reasons for his anger.

On the other hand, he felt that he had been humiliated in front of Gu Xiao. He secretly regarded him as his opponent, but he saw such an embarrassing scene.

Gu Xiao seemed to sigh, crouched down and stared at Yun Wei's face, reached out and pressed lightly on her chin and hairline, then turned to look at the emperor, "Can I borrow my sword? I'm using my weapon when I entered the palace." It was taken away by Eunuch Zhao."

Therefore, several of them entered the palace with bare hands.

Zhao Debao also knew that his safety was taken into consideration, so the emperor's anger towards Zhao Debao dissipated a little, but the knife in his hand still refused to move away from Gu Xiao's neck.

Gu Xiao knew very well that the emperor would not relent, and no one in the palace dared to let go of the knife in his hand. He simply pulled out the hairpin on his head and sliced ​​Caiwei's face.

The emperor had been paying attention to his actions. When he saw the ugly and ferocious scars under Caiwei's smooth face, his pupils shrank sharply.

Underneath that facade is Caiwei's real face.

Her face was not really healed, but rather covered with a mask.

She lied to him.

This made the emperor even more ashamed and angry.

Gu Xiao picked it up with a hairpin, looked at the man in black who had previously stuffed Caiwei with pills, and ordered, "Meng Ze, peel it off."

The man named Meng Ze took the hairpin from his hand and got busy.

Gu Xiao stood up slowly, and the knife on his neck was lifted as he stood up. He looked at the emperor, "The reason why the mask is so real is because it is made of human skin.

Do you believe that a woman who wears someone else's skin on her face will be forced into the palace by the Cao family?Think about it, why do you regard me as your opponent? Does she always praise me in front of you?

She is so shrewd that you believe her, but how could you not think of why her face was disfigured? She couldn't even hate me, so how could she praise me?It was clearly a provocation. "

The emperor's eyes moved. What Gu Xiao said was right, but he couldn't admit it.

Gu Xiao sighed again, "I really dreamed about my concubine last night, and the swing under the magnolia tree. I was sitting on my concubine, and you pushed us.

After a few pushes, you didn't want to push anymore. You said that I was already five years old, and men and women were not close to each other, so how could I still dare to sit on my mother's concubine? You pulled me off, but let me push you two. "

As he said this, he held the hilt of the sword in the emperor's hand, used a little skill to snatch the sword from the emperor's hand, and threw it to the ground, not waiting for the emperor to get angry.

He added, "Caiwei is not a concubine, she was cultivated by the Cao family with ulterior motives. If the Heavenly Master really had that ability, would Cao Zhicheng be so old as to be willing to send someone to the palace?

Besides, what are you guarding against me for?From the first time I entered the palace after returning to Beijing, I made it clear to you that all I wanted was a thank you drink. "

The emperor finally had something to say and retorted, "You concealed your relationship with Lin Zheng. He was building connections for you in private. He also returned to the capital for you. If you really have no interest in this position, why did you do what you did in private?"

Gu Xiao smiled, "You understand him, he was loyal to the court and worked conscientiously all his life, but in the end he found out that the son he had raised for decades was not his biological son, and his real daughter died so miserably.

His only grandson was exiled to Yuyouguan. Instead of taking revenge, he asked for exile. This was his greatest loyalty to the court.

As for why he returned to the capital, it was just that he saw that I rarely have someone I miss, and he was worried that you would disagree and cut off my only hope, so he just wanted to say something for me at a critical moment.

He didn't recognize me publicly because he was worried that he had been upright all his life and offended many people, which would implicate me. I was regarded as a thorn in the Cao family's side, and I was also worried that the Cao family would turn on the two of them.

Whether you believe it or not, it's that simple. If it weren't for Jiu'er's life experience, if the Cao family hadn't stopped, I would have taken her back to Yuyouguan to live our quiet life. "

The emperor didn't want to understand. The various complex emotions in his heart were inexplicable, making him so uncomfortable that he wished everyone else would feel uncomfortable too.

At this moment, Meng Ze peeled off the mask on Concubine Yun's face. The mask was made of human skin, and it was very lifelike. An embroidery needle was used to hook up the real person's hair on her forehead.

No wonder he couldn't tell that he was wearing a mask, because the joints of the mask were hidden in his hair. Thinking that he had been tricked by Caiwei, the emperor looked away and his face darkened again.

He asked Gu Xiao, "Are you really willing to go back to Yuyouguan?"

Gu Xiao nodded, "Yes."

"What if I asked you to go to the northwest and never return to Beijing, would you be willing?"

The northwest was the most barren and barren territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and almost no taxes were paid to the court every year.

Gu Xiao seemed to think for a while, "Yes, but my family property cannot be confiscated. Jiuer and Nannan are women, and I cannot let them suffer."

The emperor looked at him with deep eyes and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he asked, "Your attitude towards me is abnormal today. Why?"

Are you trying to deceive me too?

Gu Xiao smiled, his eyebrows softening, "Because I am also a father."

I have to consider my daughter in everything I do and think. I can't let her be scolded in the future. I have a father who killed her father and doesn't want her to live in a turbulent world. Therefore, for the first time in his life, he used gentle methods in front of the emperor. .

His behavior misunderstood the emperor. The emperor thought that Gu Xiao was going to be a father now, so he understood the difficulty of being a father and understood him.

His face softened, and he stretched out his hand towards Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao lowered his eyes and took his arm.

The emperor asked, "You call her Nannan, is she a girl?"

In fact, he knew that Xie Jiu was carrying a female fetus on the day when Aunt Chan went to the Zhenguo Palace.

"Well, it's a daughter. I have always been looking forward to having a daughter, just like her mother."

The emperor sneered, "It's worthless."

There was a smile on his face, and then he looked at Wang Zhi, who had been waiting outside the palace but did not dare to enter, "What are you still doing, waiting for me to invite you?"
