People who have been teased by me say they won't let me go [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 83 King's Landing (1)
All the courtiers in the Qianqing Palace were cleared out, and they stood with their hands folded under the corridor outside the palace, holding their breath, and even the shallow breathing sound was too loud.
King Gu knelt upright in the hall, with downcast eyebrows, facing the furious emperor on the throne, with a blank expression and silence.
"I don't want to investigate those matters of yours, you tell me honestly, what is going on with the cloak in the Queen's hand today!"
A hint of amusement flashed in Gu Wang's eyes, "If the emperor believes in the humble minister, why should the humble minister confess anything? If the emperor does not believe in the humble minister, even if the humble minister confesses, the emperor will not believe it."
"Presumptuous! Is this how you speak to me?"
King Gu sneered, "I dare not."
"Don't dare? I think you are very brave!" The emperor paced up and pointed at King Gu, who was kneeling on the ground with lowered brows, and said angrily, "Say! How did that cloak get in that concubine's palace? I don't want to Go check you, you'd better tell me the truth."
"The emperor doesn't believe in humble ministers, so why should the empress be ashamed just now?"
"You are my son. You grew up beside me. I understand your temperament. But trust is one thing, and the truth is another."
King Gu raised his eyes, and looked at him with cold eyes, "This is because the queen framed the minister, how the cloak fell into the hands of the queen, I don't know."
"I don't know? You are always cautious in doing things, and you still don't know?"
There was no response from the hall for a long time, and after a while, the emperor sat down slowly and said with a sneer, "It must have something to do with Jinyu."
When it comes to Jinyu, Gu Wang still looks respectful and shows no signs of panic.
"You're sitting still."
"That's because I know that no matter how I explain what the emperor believes, you won't believe it."
"Then I will give you a chance to talk and explain about Jinyu, how will you deal with it in the future."
Gu Wang frowned, "Dispose? He is the grandson of the emperor, the future emperor, who can dispose of him?"
"Pretending to be garlic? I gave you all the soldiers and horses in the world to win over the civil and military forces of the court for you. Is it just to make you a regent in the future?"
King Gu was silent.
"You are my son, and everything I own belongs to you. How can a mere regent be worthy of your status?"
King Gu suddenly raised his eyes, "The emperor wants the humble minister to usurp the throne?"
"I want you to take back your own things."
"Your Majesty wants Weichen to become a person who is remembered by historians in history. Weichen doesn't want to be notorious after death."
Seeing that he refused so simply, the emperor did not get angry, "It seems that I have raised a man of few desires all these years, and even turned a blind eye to the throne." With a sneer, "What I want to send out, I really haven't taken it back. .”
Gu Wang frowned, he really didn't want to mention this matter again, but now that Jinyu is young, he has no power to protect himself under the imperial power, so he has to make false claims in front of the emperor. , I understand."
The emperor half-closed his eyes, "It's good that you understand my painstaking efforts."
"It's getting late, please the emperor to rest earlier, and the humble minister will leave first."
"Go down."
"Yes."
King Gu stood up, saluted respectfully and then exited the hall. Looking at the back of King Gu leaving, the emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on the memorial in front of the case. When he wanted to come in to serve, the emperor scolded: "Without my will, you are not allowed to enter the palace!"
Those palace people stopped their steps and knelt outside the hall.
The emperor took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sat on the throne as if nothing had happened, continuing to read and correct the memorial.
Returning to King Gu's mansion, King Gu announced the imperial physician immediately, and asked about the poison in Xia Chengqi's body in detail. The imperial physician was sweating coldly on his forehead, "If you return to the prince, the humble minister is incompetent..."
"What did you say?"
"The poison in the little grandson's body has not been stimulated, and I really can't diagnose what kind of poison the little grandson has."
"You mean, it takes one attack to determine what kind of poison it is?"
The imperial physician said yes.
Gu Wang was thoughtful, and waved to the imperial physician, "I know, let's go down."
"Yes."
The imperial physician retreated, King Gu paced into the side hall, Xia Chengqi was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
His body is too weak, he has been bullied in the harem since he was a child, his foundation has been damaged, and now he has been poisoned by an unknown person. Gu Wang asked himself that he is not a god, and he really can't compete with the king of Hades.
As soon as Xia Chengqi touched Xia Chengqi's cheek, Xia Chengqi woke up slowly, looked at Gu Wang, half-opened his eyes and yawned, subconsciously got up and burrowed into Gu Wang's arms. Hug over.
"wake up?"
"Ah."
"Get up, it's time to drink your medicine."
"Uncle, what did you say?"
"It's time to take medicine."
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "No, the last sentence."
King Gu was taken aback, "Are you awake?"
Xia Chengqi closed his eyes, rested his head on his shoulder, and said, "No."
Gu Wang stroked the back of his head with some amusement, "Want to play tricks?"
Xia Chengqi whimpered, "I'm sleepy."
"Go to bed after drinking the medicine, come and bring the medicine."
Xia Chengqi had a bitter expression on his face.
The pitch-black medicine was brought up, and Xia Chengqi felt a little nauseous when he smelled it, and wrinkled his face, "Uncle Huang, I'll drink it later."
"The medicine won't work when it's cold, so drink it obediently."
Xia Chengqi had no choice but to let King Gu bring the bowl to his mouth, pinch his nose, and drank it all down.
"vomit--"
Seeing him lying on his knees and retching non-stop, Gu Wang saw a flash of distress in his eyes, "So bad?"
Xia Chengqi raised his head, "Bitter."
Gu Wang took out a pack of oiled paper from his sleeve, and when he opened it, there were several candied haws wrapped in the oiled paper. Now that the winter is cold, the layer wrapped in the candy has not melted.
King Gu stuffed a candied haws into Xia Chengqi's mouth, "Is it still bitter?"
Xia Chengqi looked satisfied, but still said: "Bitter."
"Jinyu is really greedy."
Xia Chengqi understood that Gu Wang was teasing him, so he showed a bitter face quite cooperatively, and went to grab the candied haws from Gu Wang's hand.
Gu Wang held the candied haws high, Xia Chengqi climbed onto Gu Wang but couldn't reach the candied haws, sweating profusely, seeing that he was sweating, Gu Wang quickly pulled him into his arms , stuffed another candied haws into his mouth, then wrapped the remaining candied haws with oiled paper, and stuffed them into his hand.
"Whatever you want, the emperor will give you."
With a pun, Xia Chengqi's heart skipped a beat.
"Thank you, uncle."
Holding the candied haws contentedly, he handed one to King Gu's mouth, "Uncle Huang eats it too."
"For me?"
"I want to share all my things with the emperor."
King Gu swallowed the candied haws into his mouth, and rubbed his nose against Xia Chengqi's with a smile. The two were having fun, when suddenly, a guard outside the house came to report.
"Report to the lord, my subordinates have important matters to report."
The soldiers of Prince Gu's mansion have always been sensible, and they would not come to the side hall to disturb King Gu unless there was something really important.
"Jinyu, Uncle Huang has something to do, so you should take a good rest and get some sleep."
Xia Chengqi held the bag of candied haws in his palm and nodded.
Not long after Gu Wang left, Bai Zhi came in to cover him with a quilt, lit warm incense, and Xia Chengqi, who had drunk the medicine, was drowsy and fell asleep not long after.
King Gu hurried out of the bedroom, and the guard knelt in the hall and cupped his hands to report: "My lord, according to the report from the spies, Jin Shen, the son of the former prince, died of illness on the way to the northwest."
"died?"
The guard said respectfully: "It's absolutely true."
"Where's the corpse?"
"Returning to the prince, the body has been buried on the spot by our people."
King Gu thought about it for a moment, "Understood, this matter must not be spread outside the public, please step back."
"Yes, my subordinates retire."
Jinshin is dead?
Although the former prince was driven to the northwest for many years, could it be that he really has no influence at all?
Jin Shen.
King Gu raised his eyebrows, if he died, that's fine, if he didn't die...it'd be better to die!
This king's things, this king's people, what this king doesn't want to give away, don't even think about taking a cent from this king!
Outside the hall, it was snowing heavily, and it was all white.
Looking at the snow scene outside the hall, King Gu sneered, turned around and walked into the side hall again.
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and when the end of the year arrives, it will be the New Year.
Ever since the empress framed King Gu for having an affair with the concubines in the harem, she had been confined in Weiyang Palace until the end of the year, when the emperor lifted her confinement. King Duan kept himself safe for several days, and finally ushered in the confinement of the queen, and entered without waiting. palace.
"Mother's queen!" Duan Wang knelt on the ground and wept uncontrollably when he saw the queen, "The sons are useless, let the mother be humiliated!"
The queen can become a queen, she has her own city and knowledge, and she has thought clearly these days of confinement. Now the emperor is wholeheartedly for the king. Gu Wang was exonerated.
"Emperor, get up, I'm fine."
"How could it be all right, mother queen, you are the queen, but now you have been deprived of the status of queen by several concubines in the harem. It is useless for the ministers. If the ministers were useful, the queen mother would not be in such a predicament."
"Predicament?" The queen smiled, "How can it be called a predicament? Now that the palace is safe and sound, where did the predicament come from?"
"But...that day my father scolded you for the sake of King Gu, and made you lose all face..."
The queen laughed coldly, stroked the blue hair of King Duan, and said softly: "My son, the queen mother has seen one thing clearly."
Duan Wang looked at him puzzled, this queen who had been so strong all her life seemed to never admit defeat.
"That's your royal father. No matter what, he will protect King Gu. Even in this world, he is probably prepared for King Gu."
Duan Wang said anxiously: "Queen Mother, let's..."
"Don't be afraid, my son. The emperor can protect King Gu for a while, but he can't protect him forever. Moreover, there is one thing, the emperor can't protect him absolutely."
"What's the matter?"
The queen caressed the delicate pattern embroidered with gold thread on the sleeve, and sighed: "If King Gu rebels, tell me how the emperor will protect him."
King Duan's eyes lit up, but then quickly darkened again, "But King Gu holds military power, if he wants to rebel, it's easy for him to rebel, not to mention, the father has always favored him, so how could he ask for his own death and rebellion?"
"If he doesn't rebel, then we will find a way to make him rebel."
"What does the queen mother mean?"
"This harem, this palace is still the queen."
"Mother, think twice!"
"Think twice?" The queen looked at him coldly, "Don't you want to get the throne? Don't you want to be stepped on by King Gu for the rest of your life?"
"But at that time, father and mother, you also knew that treason was a serious crime. You made a wrong step. What's more, we don't have military power in our hands. How can we..."
"Silly boy, I don't have military power in my hands, but the emperor does."
"What does the queen mother mean?"
"Don't worry, I will be responsible for this matter alone, and you will never be involved. You just need to recuperate in your Prince Duan's mansion and wait for good news from me."
"Mother's queen!" Duan Dynasty took a few steps forward, "I wish to live and die with my mother's queen!"
"Treason is a serious crime, aren't you afraid?"
Duan Wang looked at the gradually mad queen in puzzlement, feeling terrified in his heart.
But then he thought of the much-loved and trusted King Gu, gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey my mother's orders in everything."
Hearing these words, the empress laughed deeply, and seemed to be relieved to take the hand of King Duan, and caressed it carefully, "Good boy, don't worry, the empress will definitely let you sit in that position."
The streets and alleys in the capital are very lively, decorated with lanterns and festoons to welcome the arrival of the New Year, Xia Chengqi also likes to be lively, so the servants of Gu Wangfu can't help but talk about the rare things on the street, just want to go out and play.
But King Gu always used his weak health as an excuse, and he was not allowed to go out.
Xia Chengqi was lying on the soft bed a little bored, holding some illustrated books to relieve boredom in his spare time. Gu Wang strode out from outside, his clothes were blown up by the cold wind, and he was slightly chilled.
"Uncle Royal."
Xia Chengqi stayed on the bed and ran towards King Gu. King Gu bowed and hugged him in his arms.
"Have you finished your medicine for today?"
Xia Chengqi nodded, "I've finished drinking."
"It's pretty sweet."
Xia Chengqi pouted.
"If you are more obedient, I will take you to the streets tomorrow."
A gleam of light flashed in Xia Chengqi's eyes, "Really?"
"When will this king stop talking?"
"Then how does Uncle Huang want Jinyu to be good?"
King Gu put the man on the floor, "I heard that Jinyu copied a calligraphy and painting yesterday, but is it true?"
Xia Chengqi was taken aback and nodded.
Yesterday I did not know where to find a copybook written by Jinshen back then, and when I was bored, I copied it.
Now I can only bite the bullet and say: "Yes."
"Jinyu likes copying copybooks? Whose copybook did you copy yesterday?"
"Jinyu doesn't know who owns that copybook, but he saw that it is strong and elegant, so he wanted to copy it." After finishing speaking, Xia Chengqi looked at King Gu anxiously, "Uncle, it's Jinyu. did something wrong?"
King Gu laughed, "No, I don't mean to blame you, but I want to keep the copybook you copied yesterday as a souvenir, how about it?"
"But, I've already thrown it away."
Gu Wang smiled slightly, "What's the matter, just copy it again."
Xia Chengqi was startled, and said repeatedly: "But Jinyu also threw away the original post yesterday."
Gu Wang looked at him meaningfully, Xia Chengqi was really restless, and said after a long while: "So what's the matter, I still have a few copybooks here, if you copy one, I will use it tomorrow. How about taking you for a walk in the street?"
By copying a copybook, you can get the chance to go out to play. How could Xia Chengqi not do this kind of business, so he immediately agreed.
King Gu ordered someone to bring the copybook, and Xia Chengqi knelt in front of the desk, carefully copying it with a pen.
Gu Wang walked over and saw that he had a stern expression on his face, copying so seriously, but the copied calligraphy and paintings were hard to take out, so he reached out and held Xia Chengqi's hand holding the pen, wrapped his palm around him, and wrote one stroke at a time. Draw and write carefully.
This scene was really familiar, and Xia Chengqi couldn't help but think of Jinshen.
At the beginning, Jinshen also wrote the word Jin with his own hand stroke by stroke.
Seeing Xia Chengqi's distraught expression, Gu Wangruo said nonchalantly, "Missed? What are you thinking?"
Xia Chengqi turned his back to King Gu, so naturally he couldn't see the frightening gloomy face on King Gu's face.
Embarrassed with a laugh, he suppressed other expressions that shouldn't be on his face, "No, I just feel that the words I wrote are ugly."
"Practice more in the future, and you will be able to write well."
"Jinyu knows."
Xia Chengqi's heart was pounding, and he didn't know whether Gu Wang was probing or doing it unintentionally today.
After a long while, Xia Chengqi's palm holding the pen became hot and sweaty, and he had just finished copying a copybook. Looking at the unsightly handwriting on the rice paper, Xia Chengqi refused to take another look.
"Uncle, I've finished writing."
King Gu looked at the copybook, "This is my king's copybook. From now on, you will write one copy a day, remember?"
Xia Chengqi nodded obediently and didn't dare to say anything more.
Gu Wang saw that he was so obedient, so he let it go. He just thought of the Dongyuan where Jinshen lived before...
Dongyuan must not be able to stay any longer, it is better to burn it down as soon as possible.
As soon as he lost his thoughts, a guard came in to report, his brows and eyes anxious, "Report to the lord, my subordinates have something urgent to report."
"Uncle Huang, I'm a little tired, so I'll go in and rest first."
"Go."
When Xia Chengqi approached the side hall, the guard stepped forward, looked at the king's side with his ear, and said a few words.
King Gu stood up abruptly, his expression changed drastically, "Is it true?"
"It's absolutely true, this is the news from the palace."
"Enter the palace!"
The guard stopped King Gu, "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act! What if it's a trap..."
King Gu's eyes darkened, "Even if it's a trap, you have to go, prepare your horse!"
The guard had no choice but to surrender.
And Xia Chengqi in the side hall had already fallen into a deep sleep. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, the maid in the hall retreated quietly. She didn't know how long he had slept. Xia Chengqi woke up from the dream, and there were urgent footsteps outside the hall. Eunuch Lu panicked and said to Xia Chengqi: "Little grandson, it's bad, it's bad, the prince has rebelled!"
"Rebellion?" Xia Chengqi looked at Eunuch Lu with an unbelievable look that even made me laugh. Will King Gu rebel?
The emperor sent the country to him, would he still rebel?
"What a joke!"
Eunuch Lu had a bitter face, "This is absolutely true. There has been news from the palace that King Gu has rebelled, kidnapped the emperor, and besieged the imperial city. What should we do!"
Although Eunuch Lu served in the Prince Gu's mansion, he was the one who was rewarded by the emperor to King Gu after all. Logically speaking, the emperor was his biggest master.
King Gu's treason is such a serious crime, if he is captured, he will have to speculate on his family and exterminate his family. Under the emperor's fury, there is no chance of their servants surviving.
Xia Chengqi looked at the flustered Eunuch Lu, and said angrily, "My grandson is not dead yet, so why panic! Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace."
Eunuch Lu quickly knelt down on the ground, "Grandson, absolutely not, the current situation in the palace is unclear, if you enter the palace rashly, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of! One of the palace is my uncle and the other is my grandfather. Will they still harm me?"
He really doesn't understand the current situation in the palace, but since the news of King Gu's rebellion has spread, there must be villains in the palace.
little man...
There is probably no other villain in the palace except the queen.
"Grandpa Lu, did you take the emperor's uncle, who is a soldier in the palace?"
"If you go back to your grandson, no."
"The palace said that King Gu rebelled, how did he rebel?"
Eunuch Lu anxiously said: "It is said that King Gu failed to assassinate the emperor, he threatened the emperor to write an abdication edict, and has already arranged his own imperial army in the palace to force the palace!"
"The Imperial Forest Army? Who is the leader of the Imperial Forest Army? Is it from the emperor's uncle?"
Eunuch Lu recalled for a moment, frowned and said: "No, the leader of the Yulin Army is Xu Zhen, who is directly subordinate to the emperor, not the prince's man."
"People who are not the emperor's uncle?" Xia Chengqi walked out, "Is there a leader for the soldiers in the emperor's uncle's mansion?"
As soon as the words fell, a person walked in from outside the hall, eight feet in length, young and handsome.
"See the little emperor's grandson."
"Who are you?"
"The subordinate is the one ordered by the prince to protect you."
"What position does he have in the palace?"
"The subordinate is the leader of the dark guard."
Xia Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief, "Assemble all the hidden guards, I have something to order!"
The guard backed away.
"Little grandson, you are..."
Xia Chengqi watched the twilight outside the house and the lights dimmed, and clenched his fists.
King Gu knelt upright in the hall, with downcast eyebrows, facing the furious emperor on the throne, with a blank expression and silence.
"I don't want to investigate those matters of yours, you tell me honestly, what is going on with the cloak in the Queen's hand today!"
A hint of amusement flashed in Gu Wang's eyes, "If the emperor believes in the humble minister, why should the humble minister confess anything? If the emperor does not believe in the humble minister, even if the humble minister confesses, the emperor will not believe it."

"That's because I know that no matter how I explain what the emperor believes, you won't believe it."
"Then I will give you a chance to talk and explain about Jinyu, how will you deal with it in the future."
Gu Wang frowned, "Dispose? He is the grandson of the emperor, the future emperor, who can dispose of him?"
"Pretending to be garlic? I gave you all the soldiers and horses in the world to win over the civil and military forces of the court for you. Is it just to make you a regent in the future?"
King Gu was silent.
"You are my son, and everything I own belongs to you. How can a mere regent be worthy of your status?"

"That's your royal father. No matter what, he will protect King Gu. Even in this world, he is probably prepared for King Gu."
Duan Wang said anxiously: "Queen Mother, let's..."
"Don't be afraid, my son. The emperor can protect King Gu for a while, but he can't protect him forever. Moreover, there is one thing, the emperor can't protect him absolutely."
"What's the matter?"
The queen caressed the delicate pattern embroidered with gold thread on the sleeve, and sighed: "If King Gu rebels, tell me how the emperor will protect him."
King Duan's eyes lit up, but then quickly darkened again, "But King Gu holds military power, if he wants to rebel, it's easy for him to rebel, not to mention, the father has always favored him, so how could he ask for his own death and rebellion?"
"If he doesn't rebel, then we will find a way to make him rebel."
"What does the queen mother mean?"
"This harem, this palace is still the queen."
"Mother, think twice!"
"Think twice?" The queen looked at him coldly, "Don't you want to get the throne? Don't you want to be stepped on by King Gu for the rest of your life?"
"But at that time, father and mother, you also knew that treason was a serious crime. You made a wrong step. What's more, we don't have military power in our hands. How can we..."
"Silly boy, I don't have military power in my hands, but the emperor does."
"What does the queen mother mean?"
"Don't worry, I will be responsible for this matter alone, and you will never be involved. You just need to recuperate in your Prince Duan's mansion and wait for good news from me."
"Mother's queen!" Duan Dynasty took a few steps forward, "I wish to live and die with my mother's queen!"
"Treason is a serious crime, aren't you afraid?"
Duan Wang looked at the gradually mad queen in puzzlement, feeling terrified in his heart.
But then he thought of the much-loved and trusted King Gu, gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey my mother's orders in everything."
Hearing these words, the empress laughed deeply, and seemed to be relieved to take the hand of King Duan, and caressed it carefully, "Good boy, don't worry, the empress will definitely let you sit in that position."
The streets and alleys in the capital are very lively, decorated with lanterns and festoons to welcome the arrival of the New Year, Xia Chengqi also likes to be lively, so the servants of Gu Wangfu can't help but talk about the rare things on the street, just want to go out and play.
But King Gu always used his weak health as an excuse, and he was not allowed to go out.
Xia Chengqi was lying on the soft bed a little bored, holding some illustrated books to relieve boredom in his spare time. Gu Wang strode out from outside, his clothes were blown up by the cold wind, and he was slightly chilled.
"Uncle Royal."
Xia Chengqi stayed on the bed and ran towards King Gu. King Gu bowed and hugged him in his arms.
"Have you finished your medicine for today?"
Xia Chengqi nodded, "I've finished drinking."
"It's pretty sweet."
Xia Chengqi pouted.
"If you are more obedient, I will take you to the streets tomorrow."
A gleam of light flashed in Xia Chengqi's eyes, "Really?"
"When will this king stop talking?"
"Then how does Uncle Huang want Jinyu to be good?"
King Gu put the man on the floor, "I heard that Jinyu copied a calligraphy and painting yesterday, but is it true?"
Xia Chengqi was taken aback and nodded.
Yesterday I did not know where to find a copybook written by Jinshen back then, and when I was bored, I copied it.
Now I can only bite the bullet and say: "Yes."
"Jinyu likes copying copybooks? Whose copybook did you copy yesterday?"
"Jinyu doesn't know who owns that copybook, but he saw that it is strong and elegant, so he wanted to copy it." After finishing speaking, Xia Chengqi looked at King Gu anxiously, "Uncle, it's Jinyu. did something wrong?"
King Gu laughed, "No, I don't mean to blame you, but I want to keep the copybook you copied yesterday as a souvenir, how about it?"
"But, I've already thrown it away."
Gu Wang smiled slightly, "What's the matter, just copy it again."
Xia Chengqi was startled, and said repeatedly: "But Jinyu also threw away the original post yesterday."
Gu Wang looked at him meaningfully, Xia Chengqi was really restless, and said after a long while: "So what's the matter, I still have a few copybooks here, if you copy one, I will use it tomorrow. How about taking you for a walk in the street?"
By copying a copybook, you can get the chance to go out to play. How could Xia Chengqi not do this kind of business, so he immediately agreed.
King Gu ordered someone to bring the copybook, and Xia Chengqi knelt in front of the desk, carefully copying it with a pen.
Gu Wang walked over and saw that he had a stern expression on his face, copying so seriously, but the copied calligraphy and paintings were hard to take out, so he reached out and held Xia Chengqi's hand holding the pen, wrapped his palm around him, and wrote one stroke at a time. Draw and write carefully.
This scene was really familiar, and Xia Chengqi couldn't help but think of Jinshen.
At the beginning, Jinshen also wrote the word Jin with his own hand stroke by stroke.
Seeing Xia Chengqi's distraught expression, Gu Wangruo said nonchalantly, "Missed? What are you thinking?"
Xia Chengqi turned his back to King Gu, so naturally he couldn't see the frightening gloomy face on King Gu's face.
Embarrassed with a laugh, he suppressed other expressions that shouldn't be on his face, "No, I just feel that the words I wrote are ugly."
"Practice more in the future, and you will be able to write well."
"Jinyu knows."
Xia Chengqi's heart was pounding, and he didn't know whether Gu Wang was probing or doing it unintentionally today.
After a long while, Xia Chengqi's palm holding the pen became hot and sweaty, and he had just finished copying a copybook. Looking at the unsightly handwriting on the rice paper, Xia Chengqi refused to take another look.
"Uncle, I've finished writing."
King Gu looked at the copybook, "This is my king's copybook. From now on, you will write one copy a day, remember?"
Xia Chengqi nodded obediently and didn't dare to say anything more.
Gu Wang saw that he was so obedient, so he let it go. He just thought of the Dongyuan where Jinshen lived before...
Dongyuan must not be able to stay any longer, it is better to burn it down as soon as possible.
As soon as he lost his thoughts, a guard came in to report, his brows and eyes anxious, "Report to the lord, my subordinates have something urgent to report."
"Uncle Huang, I'm a little tired, so I'll go in and rest first."
"Go."
When Xia Chengqi approached the side hall, the guard stepped forward, looked at the king's side with his ear, and said a few words.
King Gu stood up abruptly, his expression changed drastically, "Is it true?"
"It's absolutely true, this is the news from the palace."
"Enter the palace!"
The guard stopped King Gu, "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act! What if it's a trap..."
King Gu's eyes darkened, "Even if it's a trap, you have to go, prepare your horse!"
The guard had no choice but to surrender.
And Xia Chengqi in the side hall had already fallen into a deep sleep. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, the maid in the hall retreated quietly. She didn't know how long he had slept. Xia Chengqi woke up from the dream, and there were urgent footsteps outside the hall. Eunuch Lu panicked and said to Xia Chengqi: "Little grandson, it's bad, it's bad, the prince has rebelled!"
"Rebellion?" Xia Chengqi looked at Eunuch Lu with an unbelievable look that even made me laugh. Will King Gu rebel?
The emperor sent the country to him, would he still rebel?
"What a joke!"
Eunuch Lu had a bitter face, "This is absolutely true. There has been news from the palace that King Gu has rebelled, kidnapped the emperor, and besieged the imperial city. What should we do!"
Although Eunuch Lu served in the Prince Gu's mansion, he was the one who was rewarded by the emperor to King Gu after all. Logically speaking, the emperor was his biggest master.
King Gu's treason is such a serious crime, if he is captured, he will have to speculate on his family and exterminate his family. Under the emperor's fury, there is no chance of their servants surviving.
Xia Chengqi looked at the flustered Eunuch Lu, and said angrily, "My grandson is not dead yet, so why panic! Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace."
Eunuch Lu quickly knelt down on the ground, "Grandson, absolutely not, the current situation in the palace is unclear, if you enter the palace rashly, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of! One of the palace is my uncle and the other is my grandfather. Will they still harm me?"
He really doesn't understand the current situation in the palace, but since the news of King Gu's rebellion has spread, there must be villains in the palace.
little man...
There is probably no other villain in the palace except the queen.
"Grandpa Lu, did you take the emperor's uncle, who is a soldier in the palace?"
"If you go back to your grandson, no."
"The palace said that King Gu rebelled, how did he rebel?"
Eunuch Lu anxiously said: "It is said that King Gu failed to assassinate the emperor, he threatened the emperor to write an abdication edict, and has already arranged his own imperial army in the palace to force the palace!"
"The Imperial Forest Army? Who is the leader of the Imperial Forest Army? Is it from the emperor's uncle?"
Eunuch Lu recalled for a moment, frowned and said: "No, the leader of the Yulin Army is Xu Zhen, who is directly subordinate to the emperor, not the prince's man."
"People who are not the emperor's uncle?" Xia Chengqi walked out, "Is there a leader for the soldiers in the emperor's uncle's mansion?"
As soon as the words fell, a person walked in from outside the hall, eight feet in length, young and handsome.
"See the little emperor's grandson."
"Who are you?"
"The subordinate is the one ordered by the prince to protect you."
"What position does he have in the palace?"
"The subordinate is the leader of the dark guard."
Xia Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief, "Assemble all the hidden guards, I have something to order!"
The guard backed away.
"Little grandson, you are..."
Xia Chengqi watched the twilight outside the house and the lights dimmed, and clenched his fists.
