I was the heir in ancient times

The anxious His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting on the central seat on the left in the center of the hall. Just as he took over the new hand warmer sent by Mrs. Hua with his pale and slender fingers, he heard hurried footsteps outside. Just by listening to the footsteps, he knew who was coming. The boy he was waiting for.

The other party walked steadily, stepping on the cold and hard green bricks with every step. When he pushed the door and entered, he brought a gust of cold wind: "Xiao Qi?"

The weak prince sitting on the main seat suddenly raised his eyelashes, his eyes were flushed, and the wet eyelashes stuck together in clusters, like petals in the bath water, which could not bear the weight of the water droplets and collapsed, covering the usual radiance.

"I'm tired of the coolness." Gu Baozhen just saw Bo Yanliang, and found that his voice was light and light, "You came just in time, I have something to tell you, you all go down." After Gu Baozhen said the last sentence, all the waiters around him His palace servants all left slightly, and closed the double doors by the way.

After everyone left, Gu Baozhen got up from the chair, but his pace was faster than that of Bu Bo Yanliang. The latter stepped forward first, pushed him back and sat down, then bent slightly and squatted down, touching his face and Eyelids, said: "I just haven't seen you for a few hours, look at how you look now..."

Gu Baozhen blinked his eyes, and the tender words of Bo Yanliang infected his sore eyes with hot tears. When he was alone, no matter how frightening he felt, he could breathe a sigh of relief and stiffen his back so that outsiders could not see He was so sad and fragile, but just one word from Bo Yanliang shattered all of Gu Baozhen's superficial skills. He reached out and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand almost instantly, sobbed, and said to Bo Yanliang: "Fanliang, today I I saw my elder brother, he is so skinny... Eldest brother seems to have recovered a long time ago, he can move, but he pretends not to be able to."

Bo Yanliang was slightly taken aback, this seemed unexpected, but he said: "Is this a good thing? Don't cry... Maybe the First Prince has some difficulties."

"What's the reason? You can't let me know? I'm his younger brother, right? And fourth brother and the others also know about this, but keep it from me?" Every question Gu Baozhen uttered revealed his fear.

Looking at Xiao Qi like this, Bo Yanliang reached out and put a finger on Xiao Qi's lips: "Shh...Xiao Qi, it doesn't matter if they keep it from you, I won't keep it from you."

Gu Baozhen turned his head away and said, "This is different... Guixi told me that the third brother asked him to poison the eldest brother to death, what do you think? Is what he said true or false?"

Bo Yanliang pretended to be thinking, and said, "If Xiaoqi wants to know the truth, he should go to the Criminal Justice Department to see it. No one can hide the truth under the torture of the Criminal Justice Department."

"I called you here late at night because I wanted you to accompany me..." Gu Baoyu sighed, hesitating for a while, "But, do you think I should go see it?"

If what Guixi said is true, then the third brother really did something rebellious, and he killed the eldest brother to set the blame on me?Or do you simply feel that the presence of the elder brother is an eyesore, blocking his way?

Guixi itself should have no reason to harm his eldest brother, so there must be someone behind Guixi, whoever this person is, Gu Baozhen may not be able to accept it.

"Of course we should go." Bo Yanliang said, "Xiaoqi, Guixi has been serving you for ten years, he will never lie to you, and this time he may not be able to leave the Department of Criminal Justice. It is not bad to see him for the last time. No."

Gu Baoyu was stunned, still unable to make a decision, but when he came back to his senses, he found that he was being held by Bo Yanliang and walked towards the Punishment Division.

Behind the two of them were a dozen or so little eunuchs carrying lanterns, and in front of them was the deep and narrow palace road. Gu Baozhen was dragged forward by Bo Yanliang, every step became more and more difficult, his face was blown by the cold wind. It was cold, and my mind gradually cleared up, so I lost the courage to find out just now, and said in a soft voice: "Why don't you forget it...Father should ask clearly tomorrow, can I not go?"

Bo Yanliang persisted more than ever, and he couldn't allow Gu Xiaoqi to shrink back. He didn't look back at Gu Xiaoqi, but his voice was almost cruel: "Why don't you go? Xiaoqi, you can only see with your own eyes and hear something with your own ears. You will see some people clearly...they are not as good as you think, and you will not be happy if you stay with them."

In the darkness, Gu Baoyu asked Bo Yanliang who was holding his hand all the time: "You want to tell me, did you win the bet back then?"

Bo Yanliang paused, and said: "I don't care about winning or losing, I just want you to be happy, Xiaoqi. The so-called quick knife cuts the mess, since you have doubts, I will take you to find the truth."

"The truth hurts me..."

"Then come with me." The boy's voice was low, without any hint of joking.

"Go? Why are you going? Where are you going? This is my home..."

"The place that makes you suffer is not your home, Xiaoqi. If they wantonly manipulate you and hurt you, then it's not worth your while to stay here and be used by them."

This time it was Gu Xiaoqi's turn to be silent, he pulled away the hand he was holding with Bo Yanliang, but before he could completely break away, Bo Yanliang held him tightly again, Bo Yanliang seemed very unbearable , Said: "I'm telling the truth, you don't want to listen to it, no matter what time, Xiaoqi, as long as you tell me that you want to leave, I can take you away at any time."

"Whether it's the crown prince's position or the Shu Kingdom, it wouldn't be the same without you and me. Maybe some people are still relieved."

"You treat some people as relatives, but there are always brothers who settle accounts clearly. Is it rare in the royal family?"

"Take the Xiongnu Shanyu as an example. The current Shanyu Yeluban killed his father and brother. None of the seven brothers is alive. You can say that maybe they have difficulties, but their difficulties are not worth your death. You It's not easy to live...Xiao Qi, it's not easy for me to meet you, don't let me come to this world for nothing."

Gu Baozhen was flustered, suspicious, and vacillating when he was told.

Soon I arrived at the Department of Punishment. This place is specially set up for the court ladies and eunuchs who turned over the wrong. It is not much worse than the punishment hall. There are two guards guarding the door. Seeing that it is the prince, they immediately knelt down and saluted: " His Royal Highness, Wan An."

Crown Prince Gu Baozhen looked at the plaque on his head, but did not speak, and Bo Yanliang beside him said instead: "The prisoner Guixi is being tried inside?"

The guard replied: "Exactly. His Majesty sent the Fourth Prince to deal with the poisoning case of the Eldest Prince, but not long after arriving, the Third Prince rushed over. Now the two princes are in the double hall for interrogation. Your Highness wants to go in?"

"No?" Bo Yanliang asked coldly.

"No, no, of course, His Majesty said, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes, just go in directly, how dare you stop me?"

After Bo Yanliang heard this, his eyes darkened a bit, but Gu Baozhen didn't detect anything from his father's actions, but only heard that his fourth brother, who had never seen him in the future during his illness, was inside. The third brother, who was suspected of being behind the scenes, was also there, so he felt a little timid, as if standing here could feel the tit-for-tat and tension in the Department of Punishment.

But Bo Yanliang didn't give him a chance to regret and escape at all, so he took a deep look at him, and then grabbed his hand and walked inside.

Inside the Punishment Division, there are nine bends and eighteen bends, and there is a strange musty smell in the air. The deeper Gu Baozhen went, the more he couldn't help himself, and couldn't retreat, so he let go of his thin and disgusting hand with some resignation, and walked on in one go. At the front, follow the nanny who leads the way to the dungeon, and there are really two people with extraordinary temperament sitting in the dungeon, the fourth prince Gu Yu'an in a dark purple robe is on the right, and the one on the left has a weird smile on his face. Gu Wen in a black robe.

The two sat on the stool brought by the servants, watching Guixi who was framed on the wood and had no good skin on her body.

Standing on the stairs, Gu Baojin saw Guixi at a glance, and Guixi also saw him. His drooping eyelids struggled to get rid of the stickiness of blood, looked at him, and grinned. His teeth were also covered with blood, looking like nothing else. Personal kind.

This idiot, why are you laughing?Doesn't it hurt?Fool.

"Little Qi?" Seeing that it was Xiao Qi, the fourth prince was a little surprised, and his brows were furrowed immediately. His dark eyes glanced at Bo Hanliang behind Xiao Qi, and he knew that Xiao Qi would definitely not come over by himself. Bo was instigated by distaste for coolness, and the displeasure flashed by.

"Xiao Qi, why are you here?" The third prince, Gu Wen, is not as restrained as the fourth child, and his emotions are still hidden. Seeing Xiao Qi coming, the next sentence is undisguised dissatisfaction, "Don't you know what you look like now? ? The body is so bad, let me go back."

However, Gu Xiaoqi didn't know whether he was stimulated by seeing Guixi's miserable state, or whether it was affected by Bo's disgusting words just now. He didn't obey for the first time, so he sat on the stool brought by his mother and shook the hem of his clothes. , and said with a face that had obviously been crying: "The people in this palace made a mistake. Is it okay for me to sit here and watch how the third brother and the fourth brother are interrogating? Father and emperor didn't stop me, brother can't Isn't it more powerful than the father? What you say is more effective than the father?"

The fourth child looked at Xiao Qi, a little suspicious that Bo Yanliang taught these words, and the people in the Bo family are really not good people, they are deep-minded, and they even spoiled the children.

It's just that it's not a good thing to face Xiao Qi at this time. In Gu Yu'an's eyes, Xiao Qi looks like she's about to cry even when she says harsh words. She's a little hamster whose berries were robbed by an eagle. It's good to spit out fragrance and let Xiao Qi vent.

The youngest, Gu Wen, didn’t think so. This is a dungeon, not to mention dark and damp, and there is Guixi who looks like a blood gourd in front of him. This Guixi is full of lies, and he insists that he ordered it. …

come again...

Gu Wen glanced at the fourth child, and suddenly suspected that the fourth child's move was to kill with a knife. He didn't know how to make Gui Xi wholeheartedly frame him, and then he called Xiao Qi to drive a wedge between him and Xiao Qi. It's the fourth child!Wonderful!

"Fourth, you are really good enough." Gu Wen laughed and said, "Forget it, it's nothing interesting, fourth, go for an interrogation, and see you tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Gu Wen drew out the long sword of the guard at the side, walked up to the blood gourd, stabbed the sword into the heart, and then pulled it out cleanly, saying: "Guixi is full of lies, slandering the king, the crime should be punished." !"

Gu Wen said the last four words while looking at the fourth child, and the fourth child Gu Yu'an remained motionless, and said, "Third Prince, are you destroying corpses and eradicating traces?"

"You can say whatever you want." Gu Wen didn't show any fear at all, "It's just that you like to do these little tricks behind the scenes. I used to think that I understood you a little bit, but now it seems that it's more interesting to accompany you to the end."

After saying that, the third prince turned around and left. When he left, he grabbed Gu Xiaoqi's arm and was about to take him out, but he didn't want Gu Xiaoqi's other hand to be grabbed by Gu Yu'an again. Gu Yu'an said: " Third brother, what are you doing? Since Xiaoqi is here, you also killed Guixi, and you are not happy to let this master and servant talk about the last few words?"

The dying father-in-law Guixi was not killed on the spot, and the wound on his chest was intentionally not in the fatal position, but deliberately tortured, so that Guixi could slowly feel the passing of life.

Gu Baozhen was sandwiched between the third brother and the fourth brother, facing Guixi who slowly lowered his eyelids and would never be a foodie with him again.

This Guixi father-in-law was very hungry when he was a child, and he liked to eat everything. Since he followed him, as long as he ate, he would stare at him eagerly. Later, Gu Xiaoqi learned to give Guixi half of his share. , Guixi would be moved to tears while eating, saying that the happiest thing in the world is to have enough food.

Guixi said something weakly, Gu Baozhen saw it, and suddenly struggled, the people holding his wrists on both sides did not dare to use force, so he walked up quickly, in front of Guixi, who could no longer recognize his original appearance, Asked: "Guixi? What are you going to say? Are you really going to poison big brother for money? You are a eunuch, and you don't need money at all! Guixi?"

Eunuch Guixi's eyes were blurred, he couldn't see the face of the prince of Shu Kingdom clearly, but he was very happy, he was chanting, but he didn't know if his prince heard it...

——Your Highness will be a good emperor, better than me, Your Highness must be a good emperor, better than me.

——Young Master Bo said that now the Eldest Prince is the crux of His Highness's indecision. As long as the Eldest Prince dies and the blame is placed on the Third Prince, His Highness will stand up, and he will no longer be restrained by these people.

——Your Highness, did you already know Guixi that I was that useless and useless emperor from the previous dynasty?Mr. Bo knows that His Highness must have doubts, but His Highness still took me in, thank you... thank you...

——Thank you for letting me, this trash, have a full meal one day, thank you Your Highness for letting me, this trash

Seeing that the world where the people are struggling to live can still have such a brilliant day full of vitality.

——Your Highness, Guixi will be below to bless you for a safe life.

"Your Highness... Wanan..."

The author has something to say: Guixi is a real eunuch, when the palace was in chaos, he cut himself to survive.

Then, Guixi was cheated by Bo here, I don’t know if you can see it QAQ
