royal husband

Li Jin's words were not groundless.

Li Jin wanted to take this opportunity to end Ying Ziqi's dream of being a legitimate son, and also to help Gu Rushuang.This kind of situation had happened in the previous life, and it even got worse, making Gu Rushuang, who was already alone and unable to support herself, feel like walking on thin ice.

Gu Rushuang understood the deep meaning of Li Jin's words and fell silent.

Yes.

It was he who was stunned, and only wanted to have a child as soon as possible to consolidate his position, but he forgot that Ying Zhengjing had always been suspicious. If he really adopted/adopted/Ying Ziqi, it would probably arouse Ying Zhengjing's suspicion.However, Li Jin's thought of such a powerful relationship at a young age undoubtedly surprised Gu Rushuang.

After making an appointment for a while, Gu Rushuang asked, "Why does Jin'er think Ying Yuan is suitable? Ying Yuan has never been liked by the emperor. If I really accept him as an adopted son, wouldn't it be disliked by the emperor?"

At the same time, Gu Rushuang finally understood that Gu Rulan's worries all along were not unreasonable, and that Li Jin's son was not something in the pool. If he had enough time to grow up, there would be a lot of trouble.

Back then, Gu Rushuang would secretly help Li Jin ascend to the throne just to protect Gu Rulan's only child, so that Li Jin would not be secretly murdered, unexpectedly Li Jin would bring him so many surprises.

But when Gu Rushuang thought of Li Jin's weakened body due to being poisoned, she couldn't help shaking her head regrettably.

Li Jin is worth looking forward to, but it is even more difficult to say whether he can grow up smoothly.

"Returning to Your Highness, the seventh prince is not liked by the emperor, so your adoption/adoption of the seventh prince will not arouse the suspicion of 'others'." Li Jin looked at Gu Rushuang, "Besides, I just noticed that the seventh prince has many The red, purple and purple marks are presumably caused by long-term beatings, if Her Royal Highness adopts the Seventh Prince at this time, the Seventh Prince will be grateful to Her Royal Highness/day/afterwards."

The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.It is the motto that Li Jin has always abided by in his previous life, but Li Jin in this life does not intend to repeat the old path.

Gu Rushuang frowned slightly, "Jin'er, are you sure that Ying Yuan's body is covered with red and purple marks?"

Gu Rushuang knew that Yingyuan was not welcome, but she didn't know that someone would dare to beat the prince privately.

"Yes." Li Jin nodded, "Moreover, most of the scars on the Seventh Prince's body are in hidden places, and I saw it by accident just now."

"It seems that some people are getting restless." Gu Rushuang said meaningfully, "Well, you will go to Yingyuan to see how the situation is for me later, and I will keep my sign and some people Help you, if you see something that insults the master, Jin'er, you can do what you want. As for the matter of adoption/adoption, I still need to consider it before making a decision."

The matter is very important, Gu Rushuang doesn't want to make a decision too early, after all, no one can guarantee whether Ying Yuan will be timid and cowardly under the long-term abuse/abuse environment.And letting Li Jin deal with it, Gu Rushuang had the intention of testing Li Jin.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Li Jin bowed to Gu Rushuang, then withdrew.

"Your Highness, Nu Shuang has brought the Third Prince to the Tai Tuo." Zhiqiu finished dealing with Ying Ziqi's matter, and hurried back to report to Gu Rushuang.

"Zhiqiu, prepare your pen and ink, I want to write a book for Duke Zhong."

The loyal Duke Gu Cunmo is the father of Gu Rushuang and Gu Rulan, and their biological mother is long gone.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

On the other side, Xiyu Hall.

The imperial physician that Gu Rushuang called had just left the prescription and left when Ying Yuan opened his eyes.

"Xiao Yezhong is really capable. You actually let your grandfather and I stand and serve you all the time. Isn't your skin itchy?" Seeing that Ying Yuan woke up, the eunuch who was serving at the side immediately hurled insults at him.

Yingyuan stared at him without saying a word.

"Speak, what are you pretending to do? How dare you put on airs for me as a prince just because you are dead?" The eunuch was enraged by Ying Yuan's attitude, and greeted Ying Yuan with a stick in his hand.

The eunuch was skilled in beating Ying Yuan, and the sticks were all placed in places covered by clothes, otherwise it would be difficult to discover the mystery of Ying Yuan's clothes.

Ying Yuan, who was only four years old, still stared at the eunuch without saying a word, letting the stick in the eunuch's hand hit him.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out?"

The eunuch panicked when Ying Yuan looked at him like this, and threatened him viciously.

It's not the first time that the eunuch threatened Ying Yuan, but in fact the eunuch was just bluffing, and he didn't have the guts to approach Ying Yuan at all.

Even though Yingyuan didn't resist being beaten now, the eunuch thought about teaching Yingyuan himself before, but the moment the eunuch's hand touched Yingyuan's body, Yingyuan suddenly bit the eunuch's arm like crazy , and almost bit off the flesh on his arm, how could the eunuch dare to approach Yingyuan.

"Bah, the little wild species is the little wild species."

The eunuch was annoyed by Ying Yuan's attitude, and spit directly on Ying Yuan.

"Uh, you can't go in, the Seventh Prince is still resting."

Suddenly.

There was a voice of talking outside the door, which made the eunuch stunned for a moment, "Who is outside?"

Li Jin raised his eyebrows, "Isn't there a sound here?"

"Uh……"

The eunuch who wanted to stop Li Jin choked.

crunch.

Li Jin ignored the obstruction of the eunuch beside him, and opened the door of Ying Yuan's room, and saw a eunuch holding a stick in his hand, and Ying Yuan was beaten with bruises all over his body.

It's him.

Ying Yuan recognized Li Jin at a glance as the person who helped him back then, but soon, Ying Yuan's eyes were full of guard, staring at Li Jin like a wounded little wolf, as if Li Jin dared to approach Just kill Li Jin by himself.

It is no wonder that Yingyuan behaved like this. In fact, there were many people who pretended to help him before, but in fact they just wanted to push him into a situation where he would never be able to recover. Yingyuan narrowly escaped death several times.

"Child? Xiaodouzi, where did this kid come from? Could it be the new companion of some prince?"

The eunuch still didn't know that his death was imminent, and thought that Li Jin was sent by some prince who hated Ying Yuan to humiliate Ying Yuan on purpose.

After all, this kind of thing has happened several times before, and the eunuch has long been accustomed to it.

The eunuch who was called Xiaodouzi shook his head violently, "No..."

Li Jin snatched Xiaodouzi's words, "I am the fifth prince's new companion."

Xiaodouzi's back stiffened suddenly, he didn't dare to speak, and stood trembling all over.

Dead.

"I'll just say it." The eunuch smiled, not paying attention to Xiaodouzi's hint at all, and handed the stick in his hand to Li Jin and said flatteringly, "Young master, you can just rest assured to teach this little bastard, it doesn't matter if you focus on it , he has thick skin."

Li Jin picked up the stick and asked calmly, "You just used this thing to teach him a lesson?"

The eunuch nodded, rolled up his sleeves and complained, "To tell you the truth, it's not that this slave doesn't want to teach him a lesson, it's that this little bastard is frighteningly crazy. Young master, you see, the slave's arm was accidentally bitten by this little bastard at the beginning." into this."

He is also the one who wins Zijun?

The light in the depths of Ying Yuan's eyes was completely extinguished.

Heh, how could someone like me come to help me?

"You can come in."

Li Jin said these five words calmly.

The guards who had been waiting for Li Jin's order outside the door quickly walked into the room.The leader of the guards, Yuan Hong, took the lead in saluting Li Jin, "Your Majesty Li."

Li Jin pointed at the eunuch unhurriedly and said, "Did Guard Yuan hear what he said just now?"

"Yes, Li Shizi."

Shi... Shizi... is still surnamed Li...

The eunuch gasped, his feet were unsteady for a moment, and he fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there was only Li Shiyun, the king of Dingbei, who was surnamed Li. He was a prince with military power and great military exploits. Doesn’t the guard calling him Li Shizi mean that the child in front of him was the short-lived prince? ?

Also, the eunuch recognized that guard Yuan was Yuan Hong, the leader of the queen's guards, and his complexion turned pale.

"Forgive me, Li Shizi, the servant was/forced/to do this..."

Li Jin asked back, "Forced by who?"

"This……"

The eunuch choked.

Rather than being forced, it is better to say that he was instigated by someone, and the identity of the person who instigated him is not simple, how dare he say it.

"Then I will trouble Guard Yuan."

Li Jin didn't continue to ask, and didn't directly order to arrest him, but handed it over to Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong nodded knowingly, and ordered his guards to seize the eunuch and Xiaodouzi respectively, "Your Majesty Li, these two murdered the prince, and their intentions are to be punished. I will take them to His Royal Highness for disposal."

Li Jin had no objection to Yuan Hong's handling, "Trouble guard Yuan."

Not a moment.

Only Li Jin and Ying Yuan were left in the room.

"Still standing up?"

Li Jin walked up to Ying Yuan and stretched out his hand towards him, but looking at the pitiful Ying Yuan, a complex look suddenly flashed in his heart.

In her previous life, Li Jin and Ying Yuan officially met when Ying Yuan was 20 years old.

At that time, Ying Yuan was full of hostility, and his face wore a mask of evil spirits all the year round, so he was not easy to provoke.And before they got married, they were ordered by Ying Zhengjing to go out of the palace and build a mansion, and they were not allowed to enter the palace without summons.

But in the days when Li Jin was betrayed by his relatives and was hunted down day and night, the one who was willing to lend a helping hand was Ying Yuan, the Seventh Prince who didn't know much before him.

Yes, not bad.

One reason why Li Jin would take the initiative to mention adoption/adoption/Ying Yuan to Gu Rushuang was to repay Ying Yuan's kindness to him in his previous life.At the same time, he also decided to support Ying Yuan to ascend to the throne of the emperor and accomplish what he never had time to do in his previous life.

Ying Yuan didn't speak, but rushed over and bit Li Jin's hand, even bleeding out from the bite.

I don't need you to be hypocritical, you are lying to me just like those people.

"Yingyuan, it's useless for you to do this." Li Jin stared straight at Yingyuan, ignoring his hand that was already bitten and bleeding, "Tell me, do you want to change?"

Ying Yuan was stunned, and raised his head subconsciously, meeting Li Jin's gaze.

Change?What the hell is he talking about?

"You should have seen clearly just now. Since I can make the eunuch who has been beating you beg for mercy, I can help you."

While Li Jin was speaking, he began to look at Ying Yuan's appearance.

speak up.

In the previous life until the end, Li Jin had never seen what Ying Yuan looked like under the mask.But now Yingyuan is obviously not worth seeing, the whole person looks very thin and malnourished.

"Why are you helping me?"
