It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Throughout the whole day, Gu Baiyu was restless, waiting for new news from the palace, but instead of waiting for news about Concubine Zhou, an unexpected person came to her.

He is the eunuch beside the emperor.

"Master Marquis, Your Majesty invites you to come into the palace to discuss important matters."

Gu Baiyu immediately grasped Xiao Yanlin's sleeve.

Now that I'm gone, I don't know what's waiting for Xiao Yanlin.

Xiao Yanlin cast a reassuring look at her and said to the chief eunuch: "My father-in-law, can you please wait a moment while I tell my wife a few words."

The eldest eunuch nodded, "Okay, let's wait for the Marquis at the door."

After the eunuch left, Gu Baiyu looked anxious: "What should I do? The news about my sister hasn't come yet."

Xiao Yanlin touched her head: "Don't worry, since His Majesty came to me directly, maybe things are not as bad as you thought. Maybe... everything you were worried about before will be solved soon."

Xiao Yan left, leaving behind a worried Gu Baiyu.

When he arrived at the palace, Xiao Yanlin was directly called by the emperor to go to the imperial study room. The surrounding area was under martial law and not a single mosquito could fly in.

"I see your Majesty."

The emperor sat behind the desk, waved his hand and said: "Get up."

Then he pointed to the things on the table: "I called you here because I want you to help me give me some ideas. How do you think I should deal with these things?"

Xiao Yanlin was neither humble nor overbearing and picked up the things on the table.

There are two things in total, one is the blueprint of the artillery, and the other is the formula for smelting iron.

"What do you think, Marquis Zhenbei, how to deal with these things?"

Xiao Yanlin raised his head and expressed his thoughts directly: "This weapon needs to be made and iron needs to be refined. This is what ensures the stability and prosperity of my country."

The emperor nodded, "What else?"

Xiao Yanlin thought for a moment and said, "But if Your Majesty wants to expand the country, I don't agree."

The emperor sat up straight: "Why?"

Xiao Yanlin said lightly: "The late emperor was fatuous. Your Majesty took over the country and worked hard to achieve the current prosperity of Daye. The people live in peace and the world is clear and peaceful. But once war is provoked, the prosperous Qingming that Your Majesty spent decades to gain may be destroyed." Once it’s over.”

The emperor sighed: "You are a general, I thought you would ask for a battle."

Xiao Yanlin shook his head: "I fought at the border because the foreign tribes at the border were rampant and bullied our people. I just wanted to restore a stable world to the people, not to be a murderer."

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, come out."

Behind the curtain, a person walked out, it was the current prince.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei has the same idea as you."

The prince smiled slightly: "Master Hou is a real hero."

The emperor didn't say anything, but started another topic: "After your brother came last night, the second brother also asked to see me. Does the Marquis of Zhenbei know about this?"

He didn't hide it for a long time and nodded: "I got the news."

The emperor sighed again: "When that woman drew the picture, I didn't let your brother see it."

Xiao Yanlin knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard that your wife is pregnant?" The emperor murmured to himself: "I can't let the loyal people of the Gu family feel cold... Go back and take good care of your wife. If you get bored, I came to the palace to play with the imperial concubine. They are all young girls and should be more lively. "

Xiao Yan made a grand ceremony before saying: "I take my leave."

After leaving the palace, Xiao Yanlin noticed a thin layer of cold sweat on his back.

But the affair between the left and right should come to an end.

The emperor chose not to let Xiao Ruoyun watch when Gu Ruanruan was drawing, so as to save his life. But Gu Ruanruan might not be so lucky. With such a drawing in his hand, the emperor could not let this person do it again. Survive in this world.

As for Xiao Ruoyun... I'm afraid he can only stay in Kyoto and live under the surveillance of the royal family for the rest of his life.

But Xiao Yanlin doesn't have much sympathy. People walk the road themselves. This is their choice.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Gu Baiyu burst into tears when she saw the intact Xiao Yanlin: "I, I'm so scared, I'm afraid you won't come back..."

Xiao Yanlin hugged her tightly in his arms: "It's okay, it's all over."

When Gu Baiyu calmed down, Xiao Yanlin told her what had just happened: "Gu Ruanruan... I'm afraid she won't be able to come back."

Gu Baiyu had already guessed, but now, she was worried about Xiao Yanlin more than anything else: "That was her choice, I don't owe her anything."

Yes, in her two lifetimes, she felt that she had nothing to owe. If it did not endanger important people, she would not commit murder and take care of Ruan Ruan's life, but it was about her family, her lover, and the outcome of Ruan Ruan, she No sympathy either.

After comforting Gu Baiyu, Xiao Yanlin sent a letter to Zuo Lingfeng, asking him to hand over what he found to the emperor.

In fact, the emperor knew what was going on in these two matters, whether it was the Northwestern ink embezzlement case or the later gold, but he was still hesitant. After all, he was his own son.

But just now in the palace, he had already seen the emperor's determination.

Sure enough, when he went to court on the second day, all the evidence of the second prince's crimes were uncovered.

The second prince himself did not expect that he would be defeated so quickly and collapsed in the main hall, his face full of fear and disbelief.

He knelt and crawled to the emperor's feet, pulling on the emperor's clothes just like he did when he was a child, crying bitterly: "Father! Father, don't you love me anymore? I know you are wrong! I really know you are wrong! "

The emperor just looked at him lightly and said, "In this life, our father and son will never meet each other."

At the end of the morning dynasty, the second prince was imprisoned in the clan mansion and would never be able to leave.

The emperor, who seemed decisive in court, seemed to have aged several years after going to court.

He refused the second prince's mother and concubine's request to see him, and walked slowly in the palace alone, and unknowingly came to the door of Zhou Guifei's palace.

At this time, Concubine Zhou was basking in the sun. When she saw the emperor coming, she retreated and took the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, come in and have a seat."

No more words were said after that.

The emperor sat on the throne and was silent for a long time, seeming to be recalling something.

Just when Concubine Zhou thought the emperor would not speak today, he suddenly spoke.

"The second prince committed a crime and was imprisoned by me in the clan mansion."

Concubine Zhou was originally massaging the emperor's temples. After hearing this, she only paused for a moment and continued massaging as if nothing had happened: "Then he must have done a lot of things that displeased His Majesty."

"Do you think I... am too cruel?"

A man who is with you is like a tiger who is with you. Anyone with a brain would not answer "yes" to this kind of question, nor would they continue this topic.

In fact, Concubine Zhou now has 10,000 ways to get around this fatal problem, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly stopped rubbing and reached out to touch her lower abdomen.

My child, there is not much my mother can do to help you. This time, my mother is willing to risk everything...

She raised her head again and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you are cruel or not, but you... you are not a good father."
