marriage contract

"Name?" Gu Cheng was taken aback, what is this saying?

"Look, the prince's single name is 'Rong', and what about the other four princes?!" Chu Junyi looked at him with a smile. In fact, he wanted to complain about this matter a long time ago, but he never had the chance.Gu Chengzhi was speechless.

"Right." Chu Junyi narrowed his eyes with a smile, and gestured in the air with his fingers.

The crown prince's full name is Jin Rong, and the names of the next four princes are Jin Xin, Jin Sen, Jin Miao, and Jin Yan.

The three gold, wood, water and fire are stacked together, the emperor is too lazy to name his son.

"If there are six other princes, should they be named 'Yao'?" Chu Junyi chuckled and said, "The prince's name is chosen with care. Why are the names of other princes so random? They can't be just like that." Coincidentally, the horoscopes of the four princes are all short of gold, wood, water and fire."

If the horoscope is short of gold, it is normal to use the word "Xin" to press it, but Jin Rong's name is so normal, but the names of other princes can be linked together.

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Chengzhi coughed dryly.

Seeing Gu Chengzhi's attitude, Chu Junyi knew that he had guessed right, and nodded in response, "Understood, the crown prince is his own, and the other four are given away as phone bills." Chengzhi's arms.

Gu Chengzhi patted Chu Junyi's head helplessly, "You dare to say such nonsense, don't worry about getting into trouble."

After Chu Junyi laughed, he also suppressed his smile. He didn't want to laugh, but he just didn't like the atmosphere just now.

Holding Chu Junyi and leaning against the guiding pillow, Gu Chengzhi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the status of the birth mother of the second prince?"

Chu Junyi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Strange to say, the biological mother of the third prince is Concubine Hui, and the biological mother of the fourth and fifth princes is Concubine Xian. Although they are the last two concubines among the four concubines, they still know who they are.

But the second prince's biological mother has never been mentioned, as if the second prince jumped out of a rock.

"The second prince's biological mother is a commoner." Gu Chengzhi said lightly.

"Common people?!" Chu Junyi was very surprised. Common people are common people, and they are not even maids of honor after giving birth to a prince? !

But the emperor is not such a foolish king, even if he doesn't like the prince's birth mother, he won't treat him harshly for his son's face, so it should be that the prince's birth mother has committed a serious fault, and that's why it's like this.

"What did the second prince's biological mother do?" Chu Junyi asked.

"Murder the prince." Gu Chengzhi said four words softly.

Chu Junyi's eyes widened. Jin Rong is the emperor's eldest son, the future heir. Murdering the prince is to break the royal family's orthodoxy. It would be strange if the emperor didn't go back.

Sure enough, Gu Chengzhi went on to say: "The second prince's biological mother was originally one of the nine concubines, and she gave birth to a son to become a concubine, but after having a son, she started to have evil thoughts, and she was caught attacking the prince. The emperor deprived her of her title and lowered her to be a concubine." As a commoner, Bai Ling bestowed his death on him, his family was confiscated, and they were all enslaved. Because the second prince was young at the time and didn't know about it, he was not punished, but..." The emperor will definitely not have much love for this son.

Chu Junyi was tongue-tied, and quickly asked, "What about the prince? Have you ever hurt the prince?"

Gu Chengzhi paused, reached out to stroke his head, and said slowly: "The poison was used, and it was mixed in the cakes given to the prince. Fortunately, the prince didn't eat much, but the poison soon developed... The imperial doctor rescued him, but the poison still hurt his body, the princess has not been pregnant all these years, in fact, it is the prince's body that is suspicious."

"Now that the Crown Princess has given birth to the eldest grandson, the Crown Prince's health should be fine." Chu Junyi paused and asked, "Then the cakes are just for the Crown Prince to eat?"

"Who would have thought that someone would be so bold." Gu Chengzhi smiled bitterly, "Furthermore, if the crown prince wants to eat, who would dare to stop him? At that time, there were only two princes in the palace, and the third prince had not yet been born, and the concubine Xian had just If it is found out that she is pregnant, the crown prince goes to see the second prince, and if he does not entertain him with snacks and tea, that would be considered disrespectful. It is not reconciled to return, but there are always people who want to give it a go."

Chu Junyi also sighed.

"The age difference between the crown prince and the second prince is four years. This is done on purpose by the emperor, but the difference between the second prince and the fourth and fifth princes is only three years." Gu Chengzhi sighed: "Since then, the emperor has become indifferent to the harem. There is no news of the concubine being pregnant, anyway, the prince has five, which is not a small number, as for the name..." I guess it was chosen at will.

Chu Junyi nodded silently, he already understood what Gu Chengzhi meant.

"The relationship between the crown prince and the princes is not good, but it's not bad either. It's just that the emperor..." He didn't like them very much, Gu Chengzhi added in his heart, and said: "What are the four princes thinking about saying no?" Well, you just stay away from them."

"It's up to you to say." Chu Junyi rolled his eyes at him. Gu Chengzhi is the emperor's assistant minister for Jin Rong, and there is still a label on his forehead. Even if he is mentally disabled, he will not get close other princes.

Gu Chengzhi smiled, corrected his expression and said: "Master Zhang will go out with me. If you have anything to do, you can go to Boss Xiang. I have already asked him. He has always been considerate in everything he does. Don't feel embarrassed. He can help you. I'll call out to the boss, it's only right to help."

Chu Junyi curled his lips, but still nodded in response.

"There is also Jin Lu..." Gu Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I also asked him, I know you will feel uncomfortable facing him... But behind Jin Lu is the emperor and the prince, if you encounter anything You can go to him for special troubles, or things that really can't be solved. Although Jin Lu has no integrity, he can still be trusted."

Chu Junyi pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.

Gu Chengzhi thought of everything he could think of, and told him everything that should be said, but this kind of reluctance was still stuck in his heart.

"You take this." Chu Junyi stuffed Gu Chengzhi with a purse, "Here is the bank note, which has been wrapped in oiled paper, and you carry it close to your body."

Gu Chengzhi frowned when he squeezed the thickness of the purse, Chu Junyi saw it and said quickly: "I have kept some, and I will give you everything if I don't. You need to use it over there, so don't refuse."

Gu Chengzhi pursed his lips, squeezed the purse again, and nodded to put it away.

Chu Junyi's brows were still worried, "The border gate is no better than other places. Even if you don't lack food and clothing, you won't be too comfortable. You have to take care of yourself there. If there is something missing, just Let someone send the letter back, I will help you set it up here, and then send it to you.”

"Okay." Gu Chengzhi replied.

Chu Junyi took out the safety talisman containing the copper coin, helped Gu Chengzhi wear it around his neck with his own hands, and whispered the origin of the safety talisman, hoping to bless him to return safely.

Gu Chengzhi held the safety talisman in front of his eyes. This seemingly simple but low-key and gorgeous safety talisman carried a mother's deep expectation for her child.

I wish my son a smooth, happy and healthy life.

Gu Chengzhi lowered his head, and the pads of his fingers lightly slid over the fine patterns on the peace talisman. He seemed to be able to see a mother looking at her child, embroidering her heart on this little peace talisman stitch by stitch. above the symbol.

Now, Chu Junyi handed over the peace talisman to him again, and holding it in his hand felt like a heavy weight.

Gu Chengzhi took a deep breath, picked up Chu Junyi and walked to the bedroom.

"What are you doing?!" Chu Junyi was startled by him.

"Do what you have to do." Gu Chengzhi replied confidently.

Chu Junyi's eyes widened, while Gu Chengzhi directly threw him on the bed, and then pressed him down.

"Gu Chengzhi!" Chu Junyi frowned slightly.

"I'm leaving tomorrow..." Gu Chengzhi lowered his head and untied Chu Junyi's belt.

Chu Junyi's heart suddenly softened, and his body was slowly relaxing, allowing him to do what he did, but he still said: "You know you have to leave tomorrow and you still mess around, you are not afraid that you will not have strength tomorrow."

"You know my physical strength." Gu Chengzhi smiled, "I won't make it to the end. When I come back, I will get back my capital and interest."

"Rogue!" Chu Junyi blushed at the words, muttered something in a low voice and looked away.

Since Gu Chengzhi was about to go to war, the two of them didn't mess around too much, they hugged each other and fell asleep after being affectionate.

When Gu Chengzhi woke up, it was still dark outside, looking at the sleeping face of the person in his arms, he felt extremely remorseful, but he couldn't help regretting that the matter had come to this point.

Getting up lightly, Gu Chengzhi didn't want to disturb people's dreams, but Chu Junyi didn't sleep well that night, he was afraid that Gu Chengzhi would have left as soon as he opened his eyes. Just watch him go.

Therefore, although Gu Chengzhi got up lightly, it still woke up Chu Junyi.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Seeing that he woke up, Gu Chengzhi asked with some distress.

He lost control last night and bullied people terribly, and now he wakes up so early, he probably won't be energetic this day.

"You are leaving, I don't want to sleep." Chu Junyi shook his swollen head, and after a while, he got up and changed his clothes.

Knowing that Gu Chengzhi would leave early, the servants got up early to clean up and cook.

By the time they finished grooming and came out of the clean room, hot meals were already on the table.

The meal was unusually quiet.

After the meal, Chu Junyi handed Gu Chengzhi his luggage and sent him out. The people who were supposed to go with Gu Chengzhi were already waiting outside the mansion.

Those people stood in line, each with a horse, and the other horse walked over spontaneously when it saw Gu Cheng.

Gu Chengzhi took the reins, threw the luggage in his hand to the accompanying people, and looked back at Chu Junyi again.

Chu Junyi knew that he should send him away with a smile, but he couldn't. The moment Gu Chengzhi turned his head, the wall in his heart collapsed.

He rushed over with a stride, and Chu Junyi had never been so fast in his life. He rushed over and hugged Gu Chengzhi, and said in a trembling voice: "Gu Chengzhi, come back alive! You must come back alive! I just want you to come back alive!" Please come back alive!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive!" Gu Chengzhi reached out and hugged him tightly, solemnly promising.

The people around were so startled that their eyeballs almost fell out, and they quickly looked around to make sure that no outsiders were present before they breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Junyi got Gu Chengzhi's promise, returned to his senses, let go of his hand, and said softly, "Let's go."

Gu Chengzhi responded, took a deep look at him, got on his horse, swung his whip and left, but this time he never looked back.

The accompanying people also quickly got on their horses and followed closely behind Gu Cheng.

Watching Gu Chengzhi's back gradually drifting away until it disappeared, and then he couldn't even hear the sound of the horse's hooves.

Standing on the empty and quiet street, with the cool wind blowing, Chu Junyi's heart began to ache, throbbing, so painful that he couldn't even ignore it.

"Master Six." A voice suddenly came to mind.

"What's the matter?" Chu Junyi looked back and saw that it was Manager Zhou who asked, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

"The dew is heavy in the morning, Liu Ye should go back to the room first." Manager Zhou said.

Chu Junyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Prepare the carriage."

Director Zhou also guessed that he would say this, sighed inwardly, and stepped back to prepare.

Chu Junyi raised his head and looked in the direction Gu Chengzhi was leaving. He couldn't follow him, he had to send him away.

The army that was about to go on an expedition camped about ten miles away from the capital to rest. Gu Chengzhi drove his horse straight to the camp when he left the capital.

After handing over, they put on the general-style helmet and armor, and then just waited for the imperial edict to arrive.

Chu Junyi came to the camp not far away in a carriage, and there were quite a few people who came to see him off, but none of them would come to bid farewell.

The morning light gradually filled the ground. Chu Junyi sat in the car, leaning on the car window and looking at the camp. The haze in his heart gradually receded. He should think in a better direction.

Gu Chengzhi will guard the border. He can win this battle and protect the country.

The decree proclaiming team arrived soon, the imperial decree was read out, Gu Chengzhi knelt down to accept the imperial decree, kowtowed for the emperor's grace, and the army was ready to go.

Gu Chengzhi went to the border this time to lead the military affairs. The emperor conferred the post of second-rank deputy general, and the chief general was Ping Dinghou. Gu Chengzhi used to fight for war, not to seize power.

The accompanying generals also held official positions, among which Zhang Siye got a fourth-rank official position.

The army set off from camp, and a group of people left in a mighty manner. The dust was flying, the momentum was loud, and the momentum was like a rainbow, even the ground trembled.

After driving for five miles, Chu Junyi ordered people to stop, got out of the car and walked to a high place, watching the army gradually move away, he gradually calmed down.

He put away his reluctance and sadness, and there are still many things waiting for him to do. Gu Chengzhi is fighting with his life on the front line, and he can't hold him back.

Chu Junyi stood there for a long time until the army's ranks were completely gone.

After taking another deep look at the direction the army left, Chu Junyi turned and walked towards the carriage.

Xue Hu was left by Gu Chengzhi to protect Chu Junyi. He watched Chu Junyi while watching the leaving figure of the army.

But when Chu Junyi turned around, Xue Hu was stunned.

Sometimes, a person's transformation takes a long time, but sometimes it only takes a short moment.

Chu Junyi's appearance and expression have not changed, but his impression has obviously changed, as if something unknown is brewing in this body, waiting for a certain moment to break out of the chrysalis , to shine.

"Let's go." Chu Junyi glanced at him.

"Yes." Xue Hu's attitude was more respectful.
