I was the heir in ancient times

Before going down the mountain, Gu Xiaoqi took Lan Jiumu to the beach to pick up several beautiful shells, and made a fire again. The two of them built a bonfire on the sand pile and watched the calm sea against the setting sun.

The two chattered about, somehow, they talked about how deep the sea was, which involved Gu Xiaoqi's pretentious neighbor. He said to Lan Jiumu beside him: "How high is the sky, how deep is the sea?" deep."

"There is also a kind of fish in the sea, with a lamp growing on its head, which is specially used to lure other small fish to watch it, and it takes the opportunity to swallow it in one gulp."

"There are also fish, with wings, that fly out of the sea at once, and can fly far, far away."

"Also, the fish that live in the sea, the deeper they live, the uglier they look." Gu Xiaoqi said with a smile.

Major General Lan asked curiously: "Why?" His question was not 'Why do you know this', but why.

"Because they live in places where people can't see them, they grow randomly haha."

Major General Lan immediately laughed too.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back, the capital doesn't know what's going on now, Zhu Youhu's house... what's going on now." Gu Baoyu knew that Zhu Youhu's death was inevitable like Vice-General Jiang, but Zhu's family After the old aunt came to the capital, she had a good relationship with the old lady. The old aunt is a good person, and I don't know if the old lady will lose friends after this incident.

Lan Jiumu immediately stood up obediently, patted the sand behind him, and stretched out his hand to pull Xiaoqi. When he stretched out his hand, he suddenly realized the inappropriateness of his move, but Gu Xiaoqi never had a As the air of the prince, he really gave him his hand kindly, and with a light tug, he pulled him up, and then walked back together.

On the way back, Lan Jiumu was still thinking about giving Gu Xiaoqi half the time to burn incense, but Gu Xiaoqi slapped him on the back with a slap, which was neither painful nor itchy, and very intimate: "Stupid? Are you kidding me?" Well, let's go out together, it's getting late, who knows if weasels will come out for a stroll, you have to protect me."

Lan Jiumu couldn't keep up with Gu Xiaoqi's lively brain circuit, but every small reversal made him feel extremely happy from the bottom of his heart. He had no other choice but to nod: "Well, good."

Gu Xiaoqi laughed at him: "You talk so little now."

Lan Jiumu's face turned red. Fortunately, the sky was full of sunshine in the evening, and no one was not red: "The old general taught me to talk less and do more."

"Let's talk more, we'll have to go to Jiangnan together in a while, I don't want to get together with Fifth Brother on the way, he's annoying, he talks more than me, it's better you, but when I talk, You can't always be 'um, oh, ok', it's so perfunctory." Gu Xiaoqi unceremoniously asked the boy.

Lan Jiumu gave a muffled 'hmm', but Gu Xiaoqi immediately frowned, dissatisfied with looking at him, so he changed his words and said, "I will try my best."

"Haha, Jiu Mu, you're so funny and silly." Gu Xiaoqi is surrounded by people with ten heads, and suddenly meeting someone of the same generation that he can't even say is as strange as a giant panda , I can't help but like to tease people, and I discovered the joy of every time Brother Bo and Brother Bo tease me-it's so damn delicious!

The young monks at Qingling Temple followed Master Wen Hui to spread their compulsory teaching textbooks, so there was only one old monk who was cleaning in Qingling Temple.

The old monk ate and lived alone on the mountain, waiting for everyone to come back day after day, and occasionally met one or two pilgrims who went up the mountain to worship Buddha, but most of the time, they were integrated into this mountain temple, and the tranquility was beyond words.

But the old monk likes Gu Xiaoqi, as if he was ordered by the abbot, if His Highness the Crown Prince comes up the mountain, he will let Gu Xiaoqi take a flower.

Today is no exception, Gu Xiaoqi stood beside the mountain peach blossom, hesitating for a long time, holding the ginger soup sent by the old monk, drinking it, thinking about it, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and folded one, then brought it to the tip of his nose to smell it , said: "This one is the best. There are only two flowers on it. Although it is slightly yellowed because of the cold weather, it seems to be withered, but it is also the most beautiful one on the mountain!"

Listening to such comments, Lan Jiumu looked at the flower carefully, but no matter what, he couldn't see the unique beauty of this flower. On the contrary, the eyes of the person who smelled the flower were so beautiful that they seemed to imprison the galaxy in their eyes Here, when you laugh, even the air seems to be sweet.

Lively and fragrant.

"Here, look." Gu Xiaoqi sent the mountain peach blossom in his hand, but when Lan Jiumu was about to take it, he immediately shrank back, "Hey, hey, I just let you see it, you can't take it. "

Lan Jiumu was puzzled: "Why?"

"Well, it involves my marriage." Gu Xiaoqi returned the ginger soup bowl to the old monk, and while going down the mountain with Lan Jiumu, he replied slowly and romantically, "Master Wen Hui, the abbot of Qingling Temple, gave me It was a spring day, and I saw that the mountains and plains were lush and green, so I wrote a Chinese character for forest. Master Wen Hui read the characters and asked me whether to test marriage or career, and I still use career?" Of course it is Prince Xiaoyao!

"I said to test the marriage." The hesitant stairs down the mountain are long and narrow, and there are no protective measures such as fences. Many of the steps are covered with wet moss. Gu Xiaoqi carefully grabbed Lan Jiumu's hand a little behind him Forearm, "Master Wen Hui said that it will be difficult for me to grow old with my partner in the future, which means that I am not suitable for that person, but it doesn't matter if I am not suitable, because there are many, many suitable for me, but I like it. That one is not suitable."

"In short, there are many peach blossoms, but none of them may be the one I want."

"I asked Master Wen Hui how to resolve it, and Master Wen Hui said that you can go to Peach Blossom, and let me pick something every time I go up the mountain, and other people can't touch it. If I touch it, I will be madly obsessed with me!"

After hearing this, Lan Jiumu said with emotion: "So that's the case, I was the one who was abrupt just now, but there is a problem, even if the peach blossoms are removed, the lover you like in the future is still not suitable for you... It doesn't make sense, it just reduces the peach blossoms .”

Gu Xiaoqi sniggered in front of him, the mountain peach blossom in his hand turned around, and shook it in front of Lan Jiumu, saying: "So you are stupid, I made it up, I just like the flowers on this mountain with itchy hands Hastily, every time I come here, I don’t want to leave without some, the old monk and the others know my habit, so they help me find beautiful flowers every time.”

Major General Lan was cheated over and over again, but he was in a good mood, and smiled along with Gu Xiaoqi, who knew that the result of Gu Xiaoqi's complacency would be to step on the moss, almost hit his ass on the steps, and then Bounce down the stairs like Tom in Tom and Jerry!

"Be careful!" Lan Jiumu grabbed Gu Xiaoqi's arm with his backhand, pulled him back, and hugged Gu Xiaoqi nervously.

Gu Xiaoqi was taken aback, and didn't dare to wave anymore, obediently walked behind Lan Jiumu, waited until he got down the mountain, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said guiltily: "Just now I almost stumbled and fell, you But no one can tell, if the fourth brother finds out, he will have to prohibit me from going out during this period of time."

Lan Jiumu also admired the fourth prince, and said good things for the fourth prince: "The fourth prince also cares about His Highness."

"I know, I understand, but now the weather is getting colder and colder. In the future, the river may freeze, and there will be snow everywhere. After the snow is trampled, it will always be slippery. There is such ice everywhere. Do I Can't go out?" Gu Xiaoqi explained a little exaggeratedly, "In short, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

"I see." Lan Jiumu felt that it was necessary to tell the Fourth Prince.

"Also, thank you very much today, I am very happy." Gu Xiaoqi, who was about to go back to the palace and separate from Lan Jiumu, sat in the carriage that Guixi drove over to find him, and said goodbye to Lan Jiumu, "By the way, I actually want to ask You, are you... burnt here?"

Gu Baozhen pointed to the uneven part on the back of Lan Jiumu's right hand.

Lan Jiumu nodded: "Small injury."

Gu Xiaoqi remembered that Lan Jiumu rescued all the burnt craftsmen at that time. Unexpectedly, after Lan Jiumu sent those people to his Zhuangzi, he did not stay for treatment, but reorganized the cement factory. up...

"Well, you wait." Gu Xiaoqi found a bottle of exquisite ceramic ointment from the carriage, gave it to Lan Jiumu's palm, and said, "This medicine has a miraculous effect on removing scars. Remember to apply it every day. Wash your hands with soap locust before, you know?"

Lan Jiumu nodded.

"Let's meet then, Major General Lan." Gu Xiaoqi deliberately called Major General Lan Jiumu.

But because of this claim, Lan Jiumu suddenly escaped from the gorgeous sea of ​​mountains and flowers, returned to reality, and realized that the beautiful young man in front of him was the prince of Shu Kingdom.

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness the Prince." Lan Jiumu knelt on one knee and saluted.

Gu Xiaoqi smiled and shook his head, didn't say anything to the stern Major General Lan's salute, patted Guixi on the shoulder, and the carriage staggered back to the palace, followed by the four prince's guards even riding horses After that, he left Qingling Temple, which was like a paradise, not long after, leaving Lan Jiumu an unreachable shadow.

Lan Jiumu didn't move for a long time. At this moment, his head was almost blank. He just stared at the shadow in a daze. He woke up when the magpie chirped past. He looked at the horse tied next to the straw house at the foot of the mountain. In the past, I rode away on horseback, but turned around and went up the stairs to Qingling Temple. When I went up about 500 steps, I found a mountain flower that fell to the ground because someone almost fell.

He picked it up, pinched it in his hand, imitated the way of a boy, brought the flower to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then slowly went down the mountain...

On the other side, Gu Baozhen listened to Guixi reporting the situation of Zhu's family to him, and found that Zhu Youhu's head fell to the ground without any accident at noon, and then the whole city began to be under martial law. Feeling a little helpless for a while.

Thinking about his own exhausting efforts to promote the benefits of cowpox, in the end, it didn't work without the imperial edict of his father.No wonder it is said that power is a man's aphrodisiac, it really seems to be omnipotent.

"After Mr. Zhu died, Mrs. Zhu went into the palace to look for the empress." Guixi turned her head and said to His Highness the crown prince in the carriage, "But when the servant came out, I heard from the maid of Kunning Palace that Mrs. Zhu just kept crying, Saying that I have nothing now, I might as well die."

After hearing this, Gu Baozhen became nervous: "Then is there anyone by my mother's side now?" Although it is not good to maliciously speculate on Mrs. Zhu's purpose of looking for my mother, it cannot be indifferent!Gu Baozhen has seen too many sayings about impulsive killing in this world.

Gui Xi replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, there are at least twenty palace maids and eunuchs accompanying the empress, and there are countless guards outside. When Mrs. Zhu went in, there was also a court lady who searched her body. Nothing will happen."

"That's it... Okay, then I won't let it go." Gu Xiaoqi suspected that Mrs. Zhu would hate him. After all, his son ended up like this to pull him off the horse, and it is human to transfer hatred to himself. common sense.

Very good, although it has nothing to do with him from the beginning to the end, but it is always right to hide if you can.

But who would have thought it was such a coincidence!

When Gu Baozhen's carriage entered the palace, it happened to run into Mrs. Zhu's sedan chair coming out of the palace.

When Mrs. Zhu saw the prince's carriage, she asked the bearer to stop the sedan chair, walked out, and looked at Gu Baoyu through the carriage window.

Gu Baozhen felt sad for a while when the skinny old lady looked at him, but he also hardened his heart and didn't plan to go down to talk to Madam Zhu. At this time, it is naturally better to be more vigilant.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhu knelt down to Gu Baozhen outside, with a trembling voice, crying and apologizing: "Your Highness has caused trouble to you..."

Gu Baozhen pursed his lips, and said to Mrs. Zhu from the car window: "It's not for Bengong, but for Shuguo. Auntie, get up and go back."

Mrs. Zhu didn't move, and the carriage on Gu Baoyu's side took a few steps forward. Seeing Mrs. Zhu still kneeling behind, she couldn't help it, got out of the carriage, went back and helped her aunt, whose face was full of tears, and said : "Madam Zhu, go back and rest quickly, it's cold today, kneeling on the ground is not good for your legs."

Mrs. Zhu got up slowly, looked at the beautiful child in front of her with cloudy eyes, nodded repeatedly, but suddenly grabbed Gu Baoyu's hand tightly, with astonishing strength!With his right hand, he even pulled out the sharpened hairpin on his head, and shouted with a ferocious face: "My son is dead, you can bury him with him!"

"Escort!!" Guixi, who had been watching the prince, saw this, and his voice pierced the sky like a sharp sword.

The scene at the gate of the palace was chaotic in an instant!

A 50-year-old woman was killed on the spot!A sword pierced through the abdomen, but the woman's hand holding the prince seemed to be frozen on it. No matter what, she couldn't break it off. After finally separating Mrs. Zhu from the prince she was holding tightly, everyone was terrified.

I saw the blood red on the chest of the young prince whose back was supported by Eunuch Guixi, like a red mandala in full bloom. Part of the blood on his body belonged to Mrs. Zhu, and the other part came from the slowly spreading chest...

Gu Baozhen had a severe chest pain and was short of breath. He didn't dare to look down. He could feel Mrs. Zhu's hairpin inserted into his chest with his eyes closed, only a few centimeters away from his heart...

"Don't pull it out!" Gu Baoyu didn't have the strength to speak, but still nervously instructed, after all, as long as I don't lose too much blood, I can still be saved!
