People who have been teased by me say they won't let me go [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 77 King's Landing (5)
The child's words were immature and crisp, soft and waxy, and everyone said that children's jokes could not be taken seriously, but Gu Wang was willing to believe it. He rubbed his cold little hands and asked, "Live with me forever? If your father wants to How about spending time with you?"
"I...I..." Xia Chengqi hesitated and couldn't speak, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be afraid that what he said would make him dissatisfied. His brows were tightly wrinkled, and his complexion was tangled.
Gu Wang is not a person who likes troubles. In his impression, children are the representatives of troubles.
They are coquettish and self-willed, doing whatever they want, and crying if they don't meet their wishes.
But he felt that Xia Chengqi was different, whether it was crying or being naughty, that was also the unique innocence and willfulness of a child, and it had been a long time since he had acted so innocent and willful in front of him.
"Okay, if you don't want to answer, then you don't have to answer. You don't need to mention this matter again. We will talk about it when your father comes back."
Xia Chengqi nodded obediently.
After dinner, King Gu was reading the brochures in the study, and Xia Chengqi was so bored that he lay on the side, watching him read the brochures.
"Uncle Huang, shouldn't these papers be reviewed by the emperor? Why are they placed in front of your case?"
"Your grandpa is very old, and it takes too much effort to review the memorial."
"Then if the father comes back, will the review of the memorial be handed over to the father?"
Gu Wang paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, his wrist shook slightly, and a drop of ink stained the paper memorial.
Gu Wang put down his pen and looked at Xia Chengqi, "Jin Yu wants to leave the review of the memorial to your father?"
Xia Chengqi was only relying on his childish temperament to make casual remarks, seeing Gu Wang sitting upright and looking at him, he quickly changed his words and said in a daze: "Yes, didn't the emperor say that reviewing the memorials is too much effort, Jinyu also hopes that the emperor doesn't have to work so hard .”
Always a kid, it's easy to believe that he really cares about you by saying that.
The seriousness on Gu Wang's face disappeared, and he took him over with his big hand, "Jinyu cares about the uncle?"
Jinyu used his two small hands to hold Gu Wang's hand, and said crisply: "The emperor is very good to me, so I will naturally repay the emperor's uncle, and when Jinyu grows up, I will also be the emperor Uncle share some."
Gu Wang Dayue put one arm around him and continued to review the memorial with the other.
The cold wind was blowing outside the house, and Eunuch Lu respectfully reported outside: "I want to report to the lord, Mr. Liu, please see me."
King Gu didn't lift his eyes while reviewing the memorial, but said loudly, "I don't see you."
"Yes."
Xia Chengqi nestled in his arms, looked up at him, his finely carved facial features were extraordinarily handsome under the candlelight.
"Is Liu Shijun one of the emperor's uncles?"
"Yes."
"Then is he the emperor's uncle's bodyguard?"
Gu Wang was taken aback, laughed in a low voice, simply put down the pen and raised the person to sit facing him, "Liu Shijun is not a guard."
"Then he is the same as Eunuch Lu? Also Eunuch?"
The big eyes fluttered, and the ignorant look felt pity in Gu Wang's eyes, "You will know when you grow up."
Xia Chengqi pouted in displeasure, "He's neither a guard nor a father-in-law, why is he still staying in the mansion?"
"Jinyu doesn't like him?"
"do not like."
"Okay, since you don't like it, then I will let him never appear in front of you, how about it?"
Xia Chengqi seized the opportunity to push forward, "Can't we send him away?"
"He belongs to my king, where do you want me to send him?"
"He said his father is the magistrate of Yangzhou."
"Jinyu, the meaning of serving the emperor is the same status as those concubines. If there is no serious mistake, he cannot be abandoned and left the mansion. What's more, he is the person bestowed to the king by the empress, do you understand? "
Xia Chengqi nodded half-understood, but a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled viciously, "I understand."
Gu Wang didn't care what the child was thinking, and continued to read the memorial with his pen.
Xia Chengqi lay in his arms, drowsy, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.
Suddenly, Gu Wang's hand holding the pen paused slightly, his eyes looked out of the hall like torches, and he quickly pointed at Xia Chengqi's chest a few times, and the child fell asleep more soundly.
Suddenly, the sound of swords and swords was heard all around, and almost instantly, everyone moved after hearing the sound, the sound of fighting and scolding, and the sound of panic and fleeing resounded, Gu Wang Wuxin looked at what was going on outside Xia Chengqi's house, and saw that he was safe The sleeping figure was relieved.
If he saw such a bloody thing, he would be terrified.
With a bang, a man in black broke in through the window, with a cold sword, and the sword energy swayed, and the flames of the wax torches flickered around, stabbing at King Gu. The sword was already in front of him, and King Gu hugged Xia Chengqi Standing up sideways, the mighty sword energy split the desk and the seat in half and collapsed.
Gu Wang conveniently pulled out the long sword on one side of the sword stand, held Xia Chengqi in one hand, and swung away the menacing moves of the man in black with the other. His eyes were calm, and his steps were easy, steady and orderly, without any panic.
"Who sent you here?"
The man in black didn't say a word, and went up with his sword. Gu Wang didn't have much patience. He thought that Gu Wang's mansion was impenetrable, but now he was easily attacked by the man in black. If there is no one to respond, it is absolutely impossible. !
A knife and a sword are quite clear in this hall, and the sword has no eyes. King Gu was afraid of hurting Xia Chengqi, so he was very cautious in every move. The sharp sword energy was drawn on the wrist of the man in black holding the sword, and the blood stains were ferocious. The man in black was shocked by the sword energy and took a few steps back. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the tendons in his right hand were severed.
Gu Wang faced each other with his sword, and his eyes were so fierce that it made one's heart tremble unbearably.
"This king will ask you one last time, who sent you here!"
The man in black was not afraid, he pulled out a machete from his waist, used it as a handle, and approached him almost in a suicidal manner. King Gu's face remained unchanged, and he pierced his chest with his sword.
But what Gu Wang never expected was that the man in black did not retreat but advanced, his chest had been pierced, and the blade was still in his chest, and he thrust the sword into his chest suddenly, only a short distance away from King Gu. , the scimitar in his hand was raised, aiming at Xia Chengqi.
While winding around, Gu Wang suddenly woke up.
This assassin didn't come for him, but for Jinyu!
Loosening the sword, it was too late to get away, he turned around and shielded Xia Chengqi on his chest in a blink of an eye, and the scimitar in the man's hand went deep into King Gu's right shoulder blade.
With a muffled groan, Gu Wang refrained from pain and kicked the man in black, who fell to the ground with a bang, dying with regret.
"My lord, are you alright!"
The guards rushed in, and when Eunuch Lu saw the scars on Gu Wang's body, he shouted loudly: "Send the imperial physician, quickly send the imperial physician!"
King Gu looked at the guard who was also bruised and knelt down in front of him, pleading guilty, and was furious, "Is there anyone alive?"
Among them, the leading guard bowed his head and said, "There is no survivor."
"check!"
"Yes!"
Eunuch Lu knelt down and asked Gu Wang to heal his wound. Gu Wang glanced at the wound on his shoulder blade, and blood flowed out when he moved. Fortunately, the little guy slept soundly.
Looking at Xia Chengqi's defenseless sleeping face, he smiled helplessly out of fear.
Not long after, news of King Gu's assassination had spread, the emperor was furious, and issued three imperial decrees in succession, ordering all government officials to investigate strictly, and dispatched Habayashi guards to guard Gu Wang's mansion to the death. Gu Wangfu, to heal Gu Wang.
Pots of blood came out of the hall. Although King Gu's wound was not fatal, it was still too deep. Several imperial physicians bandaged it up and prescribed a prescription before leaving.
The bloody smell in the main hall is quite thick, Gu Wang frowned, and ordered: "Light the incense to dissipate the bloody smell in this hall. In addition, don't let the little emperor know what happened tonight. If anyone dares to chew their tongues, don't Blame me for being ruthless!"
The servant knelt down and obeyed naturally.
A servant lit incense, and after opening the window for a stick of incense, the bloody smell in the hall dissipated. Sitting on the edge of the bed, King Gu covered Xia Chengqi's kicked-off quilt with his left hand, pinched his cheek, and remembered The man in black tried every means to catch Xia Chengqi and then quickly, Gu Wang's eyes were sharp instantly, and murderous intent emerged.
When Xia Chengqi got up the next day, he felt that there was something wrong with Bai Zhi's expression and eyes. He didn't laugh at him as before, and there was no trace of smile on his serious face, which was full of respect.
"Sister Baizhi, what's wrong with you?"
"Young master, the servant is fine."
Xia Chengqi muttered, "Then why is it so weird?"
"Where's the emperor?"
Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "The lord has not returned to the court, but the young master wants to eat?"
Xia Chengqi nodded, after lunch, he was lying on the soft bed in every possible way, bored, not a single sound could be heard in the whole hall, the servants wanted to walk on tiptoe, and they were extremely careful even when serving dishes and putting away bowls.
It’s weird.
But Xia Chengqi didn't care about it, he yawned and took a nap for a while, when he woke up, it was already dusk.
"Are you awake?" Gu Wang said with a slight smile, "I heard from Lu Fu that you fell asleep after lunch. You slept for more than three hours, and the little pig can sleep better than you."
Xia Chengqi stood on the roof, and stretched out his hands to King Gu who was walking towards him, and King Gu picked him up carefully with his left hand, but Xia Chengqi lost his body, and after a few days of raising him, his flesh didn't grow much, and he was so thin Very easy to hold in one hand.
"I just want to sleep."
"Uncle Huang just said it casually, is that embarrassing?"
"I'm afraid that Uncle Huang will say that I'm ignorant and can only sleep."
"When you get better, Uncle Huang will teach you how to read, write and practice martial arts, how about it?"
Xia Chengqi's eyes sparkled, "Really?"
"When will this king's words not be taken seriously?"
Xia Chengqi smiled until his eyes were narrowed, "Then I must eat well and drink medicine seriously."
Gu Wang heard something wrong, "Drink the medicine seriously? Didn't Jinyu take the medicine seriously before?"
Xia Chengqi's expression was a little unnatural, "No, I drank it seriously..."
"to be frank."
"Just... just sneaked down once."
"Ok?"
"Okay, like two or three times."
"Jinyu, if you don't tell the truth, Uncle Huang will punish you."
Xia Chengqi drooped his head, thinking how King Gu could be so discerning.
"It pours once a day."
"Lu Fu." Gu Chaowai ordered, and Eunuch Lu quickly answered yes, bowing and standing outside the door, listening to Gu Wang's order.
"From today, Jinyu's medicine will be changed from three doses per day to four doses per day."
"Yes."
How dare Xia Chengqi say no, he leaned on Gu Wang's shoulder and said nothing.
Gu Wang's right shoulder trembled slightly, and he frowned unobtrusively, and said, "Jinyu, your father will be here tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Xia Chengqi was caught off guard, "So soon?"
"I'm going to see your father soon, aren't you happy?"
Xia Chengqi looked at King Gu's pale face, and forced a smile, "I see."
"Tomorrow the uncle will accompany you into the palace and meet your father, how about it?"
Xia Chengqi clutched his sleeve tightly, obviously a little scared.
Gu Wang comforted him, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, the emperor is here."
"Ah."
The thought of entering the palace the next day, seeing his father, and not waiting to see his emperor and empress Xia Chengqi filled his heart with uneasiness, that uneasiness seemed to have penetrated into the marrow of his bones, even if he changed his soul, it would be difficult to get rid of it.
Xia Chengqi was terrified all night, and was woken up by King Gu early the next morning, washed and dressed, Xia Chengqi was dressed up like a puppet the whole time, King Gu looked at him in brocade clothes, with a few strands of hair tied up by a small golden crown, Her dark and bright pupils moved nimbly, her lips were flushed, and her fair appearance made her want to hold someone in her arms and love her.
King Gu held him in his arms with one hand, and the carriage outside the house was already ready. Since the assassination that night, when King Gu went out, he always brought more than a hundred guards with him in a mighty manner.
Xia Chengqi looked at the guards in front of the mansion, and whispered: "Uncle Huang, why do you have to bring so many guards?"
King Gu smiled, "I protect you."
Xia Chengqi put his arms around his neck with a smile, and said with a smile: "It is enough for me to have the protection of my uncle."
Gu Wang smiled and said no more. After getting into the carriage, he put the soft pillow behind him, "It will be there later, do you still remember the rules I taught you last night?"
Xia Chengqi replied with a smile: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, I remember, I will never embarrass Uncle Huang."
King Gu stroked his forehead in satisfaction, "Good boy."
Xia Chengqi was enjoying it peacefully. It didn't take long before the gate of the palace arrived, but what surprised Xia Chengqi was that the carriage didn't stand up and went all the way into the palace. Such an honor?
But isn't King Gu a foreign surname?Why can I get so much trust and favor from the emperor, even the memorial...
Thinking of this, Xia Chengqi couldn't figure it out, before he came back to his senses, the carriage stopped and Qinzheng Palace arrived.
Gu Wang stopped hugging him, Xia Chengqi followed Gu Wang, clutching his hem, and walked towards the hall, with his calf raised high, he was about to cross the high threshold with difficulty, but was picked up by Gu Wang , into the temple.
There were a few people standing with their heads bowed in the hall, Xia Chengqi followed King Gu to salute the emperor and stood on one side, listening to the emperor and King Gu gossiping, he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Jinyu, I have seen your father."
Xia Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the person standing with lowered eyebrows on the other side. He wore a jade crown and was not wearing the prince's clothes, but he was wearing ordinary brocade clothes. He looked quite like a gentleman, but his expression was slightly Pale, like someone who has been ill for a long time, his fists hidden in his sleeves are clenched tightly, and his veins are all exposed. Looking sideways at Xia Chengqi's brows and eyes, he is indifferent.
Xia Chengqi knelt down towards him, "Jinyu has seen her father."
A calm voice sounded, "Get up."
"Thank you, Father."
Maybe it's because of reasons I haven't seen in these years, that's why I'm so indifferent, Xia Chengqi thought so.
"How is the prince's journey?"
The crown prince nodded, "Everything is fine, Jinyu, this is your brother, Jinshen."
It was only then that Xia Chengqi noticed that there was a person standing on the other side of the prince, with tight lips, very similar to the prince.
[The No. 0 Raider Jinshen appears, his sincerity value is [-], the host cheers! ]
Xia Chengqi looked at him calmly, bowed his hands and bowed to him, "Jinyu has seen my brother."
"Hmph, where did you come from, brother!" The emperor scolded angrily, "A man of unknown origin is just messing around!"
The prince couldn't help but said: "Father, Jinshen is my eldest son, this matter is absolutely true!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Is it true? You left the capital when Jinyu was born, and there was only Jinyu under your knees, and he was your eldest son. Apart from Jinyu, what other eldest son do you have!"
The prince knelt down, "Father, Jinshen is indeed my eldest son. If the father doesn't believe me, I can..."
"Shut up!" The emperor was obviously very angry about this matter, pointing at the prince's unstoppable cough, he said angrily: "The prince is really kind, I really can't match it!"
The crown prince bowed his head, his tone was indifferent, "My son is stupid, I don't know what my father said."
The emperor sneered twice, and threw a cup of tea towards the prince, and with a bang, it landed beside the prince, and the tea cup was torn apart, "Get out, I don't want to see you for the time being."
The crown prince leaned over, "Your servant will leave."
Xia Chengqi stood there not knowing what to do, King Gu patted his hand and said: "You go outside the hall first, the emperor will come to you later."
"Yes."
Xia Chengqi backed out with the prince obediently, and went outside the palace gate. Just as he was about to say something to the prince, he heard the prince looking at him coldly, "Jinyu, remember, this is your elder brother. No matter what, you have to respect him, understand?"
Xia Chengqi looked at the taciturn elder brother and lowered his head.
In the Palace of Qinzheng, King Gu presented a new teacup and asked in a low voice, "Does the Emperor want to announce the imperial physician?"
The emperor shook his head, and pointed out the palace with a weary face, "I really didn't expect to be so careless! Back then...he dared to deceive me!"
Gu Wang remained silent.
The emperor saw Gu Wang standing on one side with lowered eyebrows, "I have wronged you."
King Gu smiled slightly, with a respectful face, "I'm not wronged."
"Not wronged?" The emperor was furious instantly, "You should be wronged! The crown prince should have been yours! But now someone who doesn't know why is sitting there! This world should be yours! But now, But you can only be a king with a different surname, and you can't call me father emperor..."
"Your Majesty, I am not wronged."
The emperor is old, and the decisiveness of killing when he was young is gone, leaving only sentimentality and remorse, "Emperor, back then, if it weren't for my incompetence, as a prince, I couldn't protect myself. Prison will not...nor will you swap the newly born you with a child of unknown origin in order to save your life. If it is not because of the incompetence of the father, you will not be raised outside the palace for no reason. For more than ten years, up to now, our father and son can't recognize each other."
"In the early years, the emperor was in adversity and the minister understood, and the minister readily accepted all the arrangements made by the emperor."
"I said earlier that I would let you enter the imperial jade, but you disagree..."
King Gu sneered and said, "The emperor wants me to recognize a strange woman as my mother?"
The emperor remained silent for a while before he said: "Your mother is the person I love the most. She died for me back then. You are her child. How could I let you call another woman your mother?"
King Gu lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, the emperor sneered, "But I really didn't expect that the crown prince would learn what I did back then. Li Daitao froze, knowing that he didn't like him, so he changed his newborn child, and a The child who came here stayed in the palace, and took his own child to the northwest, and now that he is back, he still wants his child to inherit the position of eldest son."
Gu Wang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You mean?"
"Jinyu is not the prince's child."
King Gu's eyes sank slightly, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Does it have anything to do with it? Anyway, the prince is from the same line, so I can't keep it!"
King Gu thought of the joyful look in Jinyu's eyes when he heard that the crown prince was about to return to Beijing. The look of anticipation and yearning was enviable, as if he didn't care about the suffering he had suffered, but in fact, he was just a pawn, left behind. A pawn in the palace that reassures the emperor...
Thinking of this, King Gu's heart suddenly ached, and his brows frowned.
"What's the matter? But the injury is not good? I have found some clues, those assassins are not from the capital."
King Gu's heart moved slightly, he cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I am a little tired and want to go back to the mansion to rest."
The emperor sighed helplessly, "Alright, you should go back and rest earlier."
"Wei Chen retire."
King Gu strode out of Qinzheng Palace, since Jinyu is not the prince's son, Jinyu must not be allowed to return to the prince's side.
Suddenly, King Gu thought of the man in black that night, who was trying his best to take Jinyu's life...
When the prince returned to Beijing, he naturally had to pave the way for his parents, and the name of Jinyu's little grandson was the biggest obstacle.
Back then, the emperor drove the prince to the northwest for his own sake, and now the prince wanted to take Jinyu's life for his own son's sake!
With a creak, the palace door was opened, King Gu searched around with his eyes, and finally found a small figure under the steps.
He really listened to his words and waited for him at the gate of the hall.
"Jinyu."
Xia Chengqi turned his head happily when he heard this voice, and ran towards him bouncingly. The child who didn't know much about the world hugged Gu Wang's thigh, raised his head and said crisply: "Uncle Huang, let's go home, okay? Jinyu is sleepy."
King Gu bowed and picked him up, "Okay, go home."
"I...I..." Xia Chengqi hesitated and couldn't speak, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be afraid that what he said would make him dissatisfied. His brows were tightly wrinkled, and his complexion was tangled.
Gu Wang is not a person who likes troubles. In his impression, children are the representatives of troubles.
They are coquettish and self-willed, doing whatever they want, and crying if they don't meet their wishes.
But he felt that Xia Chengqi was different, whether it was crying or being naughty, that was also the unique innocence and willfulness of a child, and it had been a long time since he had acted so innocent and willful in front of him.
"Okay, if you don't want to answer, then you don't have to answer. You don't need to mention this matter again. We will talk about it when your father comes back."
Xia Chengqi nodded obediently.
After dinner, King Gu was reading the brochures in the study, and Xia Chengqi was so bored that he lay on the side, watching him read the brochures.
"Uncle Huang, shouldn't these papers be reviewed by the emperor? Why are they placed in front of your case?"
"Your grandpa is very old, and it takes too much effort to review the memorial."
"Then if the father comes back, will the review of the memorial be handed over to the father?"
Gu Wang paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, his wrist shook slightly, and a drop of ink stained the paper memorial.
Gu Wang put down his pen and looked at Xia Chengqi, "Jin Yu wants to leave the review of the memorial to your father?"
Xia Chengqi was only relying on his childish temperament to make casual remarks, seeing Gu Wang sitting upright and looking at him, he quickly changed his words and said in a daze: "Yes, didn't the emperor say that reviewing the memorials is too much effort, Jinyu also hopes that the emperor doesn't have to work so hard .”
Always a kid, it's easy to believe that he really cares about you by saying that.
The seriousness on Gu Wang's face disappeared, and he took him over with his big hand, "Jinyu cares about the uncle?"
Jinyu used his two small hands to hold Gu Wang's hand, and said crisply: "The emperor is very good to me, so I will naturally repay the emperor's uncle, and when Jinyu grows up, I will also be the emperor Uncle share some."
Gu Wang Dayue put one arm around him and continued to review the memorial with the other.
The cold wind was blowing outside the house, and Eunuch Lu respectfully reported outside: "I want to report to the lord, Mr. Liu, please see me."
King Gu didn't lift his eyes while reviewing the memorial, but said loudly, "I don't see you."
"Yes."
Xia Chengqi nestled in his arms, looked up at him, his finely carved facial features were extraordinarily handsome under the candlelight.
"Is Liu Shijun one of the emperor's uncles?"
"Yes."
"Then is he the emperor's uncle's bodyguard?"
Gu Wang was taken aback, laughed in a low voice, simply put down the pen and raised the person to sit facing him, "Liu Shijun is not a guard."
"Then he is the same as Eunuch Lu? Also Eunuch?"
The big eyes fluttered, and the ignorant look felt pity in Gu Wang's eyes, "You will know when you grow up."
Xia Chengqi pouted in displeasure, "He's neither a guard nor a father-in-law, why is he still staying in the mansion?"
"Jinyu doesn't like him?"
"do not like."
"Okay, since you don't like it, then I will let him never appear in front of you, how about it?"
Xia Chengqi seized the opportunity to push forward, "Can't we send him away?"
"He belongs to my king, where do you want me to send him?"
"He said his father is the magistrate of Yangzhou."
"Jinyu, the meaning of serving the emperor is the same status as those concubines. If there is no serious mistake, he cannot be abandoned and left the mansion. What's more, he is the person bestowed to the king by the empress, do you understand? "
Xia Chengqi nodded half-understood, but a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled viciously, "I understand."

The guards rushed in, and when Eunuch Lu saw the scars on Gu Wang's body, he shouted loudly: "Send the imperial physician, quickly send the imperial physician!"
King Gu looked at the guard who was also bruised and knelt down in front of him, pleading guilty, and was furious, "Is there anyone alive?"
Among them, the leading guard bowed his head and said, "There is no survivor."

Xia Chengqi muttered, "Then why is it so weird?"
"Where's the emperor?"
Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "The lord has not returned to the court, but the young master wants to eat?"
Xia Chengqi nodded, after lunch, he was lying on the soft bed in every possible way, bored, not a single sound could be heard in the whole hall, the servants wanted to walk on tiptoe, and they were extremely careful even when serving dishes and putting away bowls.
It’s weird.
But Xia Chengqi didn't care about it, he yawned and took a nap for a while, when he woke up, it was already dusk.
"Are you awake?" Gu Wang said with a slight smile, "I heard from Lu Fu that you fell asleep after lunch. You slept for more than three hours, and the little pig can sleep better than you."
Xia Chengqi stood on the roof, and stretched out his hands to King Gu who was walking towards him, and King Gu picked him up carefully with his left hand, but Xia Chengqi lost his body, and after a few days of raising him, his flesh didn't grow much, and he was so thin Very easy to hold in one hand.
"I just want to sleep."
"Uncle Huang just said it casually, is that embarrassing?"
"I'm afraid that Uncle Huang will say that I'm ignorant and can only sleep."
"When you get better, Uncle Huang will teach you how to read, write and practice martial arts, how about it?"
Xia Chengqi's eyes sparkled, "Really?"
"When will this king's words not be taken seriously?"
Xia Chengqi smiled until his eyes were narrowed, "Then I must eat well and drink medicine seriously."
Gu Wang heard something wrong, "Drink the medicine seriously? Didn't Jinyu take the medicine seriously before?"
Xia Chengqi's expression was a little unnatural, "No, I drank it seriously..."
"to be frank."
"Just... just sneaked down once."
"Ok?"
"Okay, like two or three times."
"Jinyu, if you don't tell the truth, Uncle Huang will punish you."
Xia Chengqi drooped his head, thinking how King Gu could be so discerning.
"It pours once a day."
"Lu Fu." Gu Chaowai ordered, and Eunuch Lu quickly answered yes, bowing and standing outside the door, listening to Gu Wang's order.
"From today, Jinyu's medicine will be changed from three doses per day to four doses per day."
"Yes."
How dare Xia Chengqi say no, he leaned on Gu Wang's shoulder and said nothing.
Gu Wang's right shoulder trembled slightly, and he frowned unobtrusively, and said, "Jinyu, your father will be here tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Xia Chengqi was caught off guard, "So soon?"
"I'm going to see your father soon, aren't you happy?"
Xia Chengqi looked at King Gu's pale face, and forced a smile, "I see."
"Tomorrow the uncle will accompany you into the palace and meet your father, how about it?"
Xia Chengqi clutched his sleeve tightly, obviously a little scared.
Gu Wang comforted him, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, the emperor is here."
"Ah."
The thought of entering the palace the next day, seeing his father, and not waiting to see his emperor and empress Xia Chengqi filled his heart with uneasiness, that uneasiness seemed to have penetrated into the marrow of his bones, even if he changed his soul, it would be difficult to get rid of it.
Xia Chengqi was terrified all night, and was woken up by King Gu early the next morning, washed and dressed, Xia Chengqi was dressed up like a puppet the whole time, King Gu looked at him in brocade clothes, with a few strands of hair tied up by a small golden crown, Her dark and bright pupils moved nimbly, her lips were flushed, and her fair appearance made her want to hold someone in her arms and love her.
King Gu held him in his arms with one hand, and the carriage outside the house was already ready. Since the assassination that night, when King Gu went out, he always brought more than a hundred guards with him in a mighty manner.
Xia Chengqi looked at the guards in front of the mansion, and whispered: "Uncle Huang, why do you have to bring so many guards?"
King Gu smiled, "I protect you."
Xia Chengqi put his arms around his neck with a smile, and said with a smile: "It is enough for me to have the protection of my uncle."
Gu Wang smiled and said no more. After getting into the carriage, he put the soft pillow behind him, "It will be there later, do you still remember the rules I taught you last night?"
Xia Chengqi replied with a smile: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, I remember, I will never embarrass Uncle Huang."
King Gu stroked his forehead in satisfaction, "Good boy."
Xia Chengqi was enjoying it peacefully. It didn't take long before the gate of the palace arrived, but what surprised Xia Chengqi was that the carriage didn't stand up and went all the way into the palace. Such an honor?
But isn't King Gu a foreign surname?Why can I get so much trust and favor from the emperor, even the memorial...
Thinking of this, Xia Chengqi couldn't figure it out, before he came back to his senses, the carriage stopped and Qinzheng Palace arrived.
Gu Wang stopped hugging him, Xia Chengqi followed Gu Wang, clutching his hem, and walked towards the hall, with his calf raised high, he was about to cross the high threshold with difficulty, but was picked up by Gu Wang , into the temple.
There were a few people standing with their heads bowed in the hall, Xia Chengqi followed King Gu to salute the emperor and stood on one side, listening to the emperor and King Gu gossiping, he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Jinyu, I have seen your father."
Xia Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the person standing with lowered eyebrows on the other side. He wore a jade crown and was not wearing the prince's clothes, but he was wearing ordinary brocade clothes. He looked quite like a gentleman, but his expression was slightly Pale, like someone who has been ill for a long time, his fists hidden in his sleeves are clenched tightly, and his veins are all exposed. Looking sideways at Xia Chengqi's brows and eyes, he is indifferent.
Xia Chengqi knelt down towards him, "Jinyu has seen her father."
A calm voice sounded, "Get up."
"Thank you, Father."
Maybe it's because of reasons I haven't seen in these years, that's why I'm so indifferent, Xia Chengqi thought so.
"How is the prince's journey?"
The crown prince nodded, "Everything is fine, Jinyu, this is your brother, Jinshen."
It was only then that Xia Chengqi noticed that there was a person standing on the other side of the prince, with tight lips, very similar to the prince.
[The No. 0 Raider Jinshen appears, his sincerity value is [-], the host cheers! ]
Xia Chengqi looked at him calmly, bowed his hands and bowed to him, "Jinyu has seen my brother."
"Hmph, where did you come from, brother!" The emperor scolded angrily, "A man of unknown origin is just messing around!"
The prince couldn't help but said: "Father, Jinshen is my eldest son, this matter is absolutely true!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Is it true? You left the capital when Jinyu was born, and there was only Jinyu under your knees, and he was your eldest son. Apart from Jinyu, what other eldest son do you have!"
The prince knelt down, "Father, Jinshen is indeed my eldest son. If the father doesn't believe me, I can..."
"Shut up!" The emperor was obviously very angry about this matter, pointing at the prince's unstoppable cough, he said angrily: "The prince is really kind, I really can't match it!"
The crown prince bowed his head, his tone was indifferent, "My son is stupid, I don't know what my father said."
The emperor sneered twice, and threw a cup of tea towards the prince, and with a bang, it landed beside the prince, and the tea cup was torn apart, "Get out, I don't want to see you for the time being."
The crown prince leaned over, "Your servant will leave."
Xia Chengqi stood there not knowing what to do, King Gu patted his hand and said: "You go outside the hall first, the emperor will come to you later."
"Yes."
Xia Chengqi backed out with the prince obediently, and went outside the palace gate. Just as he was about to say something to the prince, he heard the prince looking at him coldly, "Jinyu, remember, this is your elder brother. No matter what, you have to respect him, understand?"
Xia Chengqi looked at the taciturn elder brother and lowered his head.
In the Palace of Qinzheng, King Gu presented a new teacup and asked in a low voice, "Does the Emperor want to announce the imperial physician?"
The emperor shook his head, and pointed out the palace with a weary face, "I really didn't expect to be so careless! Back then...he dared to deceive me!"
Gu Wang remained silent.
The emperor saw Gu Wang standing on one side with lowered eyebrows, "I have wronged you."
King Gu smiled slightly, with a respectful face, "I'm not wronged."
"Not wronged?" The emperor was furious instantly, "You should be wronged! The crown prince should have been yours! But now someone who doesn't know why is sitting there! This world should be yours! But now, But you can only be a king with a different surname, and you can't call me father emperor..."
"Your Majesty, I am not wronged."
The emperor is old, and the decisiveness of killing when he was young is gone, leaving only sentimentality and remorse, "Emperor, back then, if it weren't for my incompetence, as a prince, I couldn't protect myself. Prison will not...nor will you swap the newly born you with a child of unknown origin in order to save your life. If it is not because of the incompetence of the father, you will not be raised outside the palace for no reason. For more than ten years, up to now, our father and son can't recognize each other."
"In the early years, the emperor was in adversity and the minister understood, and the minister readily accepted all the arrangements made by the emperor."
"I said earlier that I would let you enter the imperial jade, but you disagree..."
King Gu sneered and said, "The emperor wants me to recognize a strange woman as my mother?"
The emperor remained silent for a while before he said: "Your mother is the person I love the most. She died for me back then. You are her child. How could I let you call another woman your mother?"
King Gu lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, the emperor sneered, "But I really didn't expect that the crown prince would learn what I did back then. Li Daitao froze, knowing that he didn't like him, so he changed his newborn child, and a The child who came here stayed in the palace, and took his own child to the northwest, and now that he is back, he still wants his child to inherit the position of eldest son."
Gu Wang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You mean?"
"Jinyu is not the prince's child."
King Gu's eyes sank slightly, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Does it have anything to do with it? Anyway, the prince is from the same line, so I can't keep it!"
King Gu thought of the joyful look in Jinyu's eyes when he heard that the crown prince was about to return to Beijing. The look of anticipation and yearning was enviable, as if he didn't care about the suffering he had suffered, but in fact, he was just a pawn, left behind. A pawn in the palace that reassures the emperor...
Thinking of this, King Gu's heart suddenly ached, and his brows frowned.
"What's the matter? But the injury is not good? I have found some clues, those assassins are not from the capital."
King Gu's heart moved slightly, he cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I am a little tired and want to go back to the mansion to rest."
The emperor sighed helplessly, "Alright, you should go back and rest earlier."
"Wei Chen retire."
King Gu strode out of Qinzheng Palace, since Jinyu is not the prince's son, Jinyu must not be allowed to return to the prince's side.
Suddenly, King Gu thought of the man in black that night, who was trying his best to take Jinyu's life...
When the prince returned to Beijing, he naturally had to pave the way for his parents, and the name of Jinyu's little grandson was the biggest obstacle.
Back then, the emperor drove the prince to the northwest for his own sake, and now the prince wanted to take Jinyu's life for his own son's sake!
With a creak, the palace door was opened, King Gu searched around with his eyes, and finally found a small figure under the steps.
He really listened to his words and waited for him at the gate of the hall.
"Jinyu."
Xia Chengqi turned his head happily when he heard this voice, and ran towards him bouncingly. The child who didn't know much about the world hugged Gu Wang's thigh, raised his head and said crisply: "Uncle Huang, let's go home, okay? Jinyu is sleepy."
King Gu bowed and picked him up, "Okay, go home."
