Fake concubine, real queen

The surrounding people were noisy and chaotic, and He Gu's ears and mind were also buzzing together. For a moment, he almost felt that he could not even stand still, let alone think.

What did the person who came back from Zongshan say?

He said... not a single person was left alive in Lianhua Temple?

But sister Yu'er is still there...how is this possible?

After a long while, He Gu's strength slowly returned to his body. The banquet was already unfinished, and the banquet was in chaos. They were all around the fainted Empress Chen to visit and help, and the one who came back from Zongshan, The man who spoke out in public, passing the message, was being dragged down by the guards called by the emperor.

He Gu paused, walked in front of him, stopped the guards who were dragging him, and said, "Wait a minute."

He was a son-in-law, and these guards naturally recognized him. After looking at each other for a while, they stopped their movements and did not continue to drag the man who sent the message down.

He Gu grabbed his collar, expressionless as if he was carrying a chick, and abruptly picked up the man with big arms and round waist from the ground, and hung him in mid-air. His face was flushed red, but He Gu turned a blind eye to him, only looked at him with a cold face, and said coldly: "...Who are you from?"

He asked this question without beginning or end, and the man couldn't help but shudder in his heart, almost showing his strange color, thinking that he was showing his feet, but fortunately he was mentally prepared, so he didn't show his timidity , although he fell into mid-air due to He Gu's breathing difficulties, he still blushed and said, "Little man... the villain belongs to the Twelve Guards, and was ordered by the empress to go to Zongshan to check on the safety of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." of!"

He Gu said expressionlessly, "Oh? If that's the case, which one of the twelve guards do you belong to?"

The man was stunned for a moment, before replying after a while: "Small man... The villain is under the command of the Twelve Guards..."

He Gu pulled his collar and pulled him three points closer to him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Fuck your mother, you don't know how to make up a good one, Teng Snake's subordinates are all How can you have a body like yours? The beams of the house can be trampled down, you look down on me, bully you, and don’t tell the truth, right?"

The man looked at the young son-in-law who suddenly changed his face, and couldn't help but startled.

Although his identity is indeed false and will be exposed sooner or later, he never thought that it would be so fast and so easy for an unplanned person to see through it at a glance...

But before he had time to continue thinking, he suddenly felt his body lighten. The body of an adult man weighing about [-] kilograms was lifted into the air like a light willow branch, and he was crushed in just two breaths. An over-the-shoulder throw fell to the ground. The man felt a sharp pain in his chest instantly, and the "crack" sound of broken joints came from his body. Come.

However, this was not over yet, before he could react, someone stomped on his left hand, and his right arm was also pulled backwards, and it was dislocated——

He Gu stepped on his back, and said coldly: "I'm asking you for the last time, who are you from? Did you make up nonsense about Zongshan?"

The man's eyes were staring from the pain, cold sweat dripped down his forehead like money, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The villain... the villain was wronged, the villain never made nonsense, Zongshan... Lianhua Temple It was indeed robbed by horse bandits, there was no one left alive, blood flowed into rivers in Lianhua Temple, and corpses were strewn all over the ground, all villains saw it with their own eyes, there is absolutely no lie."

He Gudao: "You saw it with your own eyes, did you see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess with your own eyes? If you live to see people, if you die, you want to see a corpse. If you say that His Highness is gone, does His Highness really not exist?"

The man gritted his teeth and replied tremblingly: "My son-in-law said it lightly... those... those aunts... and the palace servants who went with His Highness the eldest princess are all dead, bloody, and villainous." Can you tell... which one is the eldest princess?"

However, He Gu didn't seem to have heard the sensational words "death without a whole body" and "flesh and blood" in his words, and only murmured: "That's because I didn't see it. If I didn't see it, I might still be alive. Sister Ji People have their own celestial phenomena, so they must still be alive..."

Who would have thought that the man held down by him would not give up after hearing his whispered words, and said: "...but although I can't see his face clearly, we have also found someone who is dressed like His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." It is half a female corpse like that, judging by her stature, Her Highness is correct, and the entire Lianhua Temple has been murdered, how can Her Highness the Princess be alone?"

He Gu's complexion suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "You fart! You fart!"

That man is also a character, his ribs were broken, blood oozes from the corner of his mouth, and his arm was cut off, but he still didn't let go, and he was about to bite to death. Said: "The villain saw it with his own eyes, how dare he lie to the son-in-law, the corpse has become like that, and he can't bring it back to Beijing at all. His Royal Highness, the princess, the palace servants, and sisters-in-law are in such a miserable state. I can't rest in peace! The villain is so helpless, but also I had to bury it at the foot of Zongshan Mountain, this villain has personally experienced it, the villain dares to guarantee his life, there is absolutely no lie!"

What he said was true, and he dared to risk his life so much, He Gu didn't want to believe it any more, and his heart couldn't help but get colder inch by inch, he said angrily with red eyes: "Why did you bury her in Zongshan! She is the eldest princess's husband, why do you leave her there alone!"

……No!He doesn't believe it, he wants to see people alive and dead, he hasn't seen anything yet, he never believes that his sister is gone!

He Gu threw the man to the ground hard, and said to the guard next to him: "This man has a false identity, tell His Majesty to investigate strictly, and not let him go lightly."

Turning around, he quickly walked out of Buyan's palace gate.

Seeing this, Zhengye hurriedly followed behind and ran up to catch up. At this moment, the banquet was in chaos, and no one noticed that the son-in-law had left the banquet.

He Gu's mind was blank, and he almost lost all his thinking ability. He was wandering at the junction between madness on the verge of getting out of control and extreme rationality and calmness. The fingers under the sleeves also trembled all the way.

He Gu didn't even know how he got to the gate of the palace. On New Year's Eve, it was cold and snowy in the sky. Zhengye called all the way from behind, asking him where he was going, but He Gu didn't seem to have heard of it. .

Walking to the gate of the palace, there were many servants and horses in Xungui's family who were going to the palace tonight, and Advisor He didn't ask any questions, and snatched the reins of the horse from the hand of a young man who was chatting with the people next to him.

The boy froze for a moment, and was about to rush up to stop him, but he was held back by Zhengye, who said with a bitter face, "Brother, don't blame me, this is the son-in-law of Princess Qing's mansion, our son-in-law..."

But before he finished speaking, he saw He Gu pull Ma Jiang out of the corner of his eye, so he was frightened and hurriedly said, "I'll make an apology to my brother later!"

After finishing speaking, he went to pull the tail on the horse's ass, and said with a bitter face: "Master, what are you doing!"

He Gule looked at Ma Jiang, and turned his head to look at him. Zhengye thought that his master Hou was on the verge of going crazy, but unexpectedly he saw him smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said after laughing: "How about you?" Don’t let go! You dare to pull the ponytail, don’t you be afraid that it will kick you down?”

A bad premonition floated in Zheng Ye's heart, and he only asked, "Where are you going?"

He Gudao: "I'll go to Zongshan, I don't believe she's dead, I want to see people, I want to see dead bodies, even if my sister is really gone, I'm her husband, how can I leave her alone at the foot of Zongshan like that In a place of bitter cold, I want to bring my sister back."

The bad premonition in Zhengye's heart actually came true, and he immediately turned pale with shock: "How can this happen? The news may not be true in the middle of the night. You are alone, and you are still wearing such thin clothes today. Why is Zongshan so far away..."

It's just that He Gu's eyes were obviously red, and he couldn't listen to anything at all. He didn't have the patience to listen to Zheng Ye's ramblings, so he just shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!"

Zhengye was startled by his roar, he didn't grab the horse's tail in his hand, and before he had time to react, He Gu had already raised his whip, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and fled away.

Zhengye almost didn't stumble in fright, but fortunately, he was supported by the unlucky young man who had his horse robbed by his son-in-law just now, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Zhengye was fine, the horse was quite far away from him, and he didn't kick him, but he couldn't be happy at the moment, instead he turned around anxiously, his forehead was sweating, and he was completely bewildered.

How to do?How to do?

The son-in-law just left, who is he looking for?

Now the master of the Marquis of Changyang is He Gu, and no one can take care of him. The empress's appearance just now has caused a lot of trouble in the palace, let alone adding trouble to His Majesty at this juncture...

But the son-in-law just went there. Today, the palace banquet hall was warmed by charcoal fire, and the clothes I wore were not thick, but I went out of the city to Zongshan all the way to the north, and it was still snowing. It was so cold, what should I do?what to do?

After thinking about it, Zhengye realized that there was no way to ask for help. It was not suitable for the two elders of the Yan family to disturb the grandparents of the son-in-law. They were already old, and Zhengye was afraid that they would worry...

He knew that the son-in-law was more stubborn than a donkey, and it was impossible to persuade him to come back. Right now, he could only hurry back to the princess mansion and find someone to chase him with clothes and luggage.

Zhengye was about to borrow another horse and hurried back to the Princess Mansion, but before he turned around, he saw a group of chariots and horses heading towards the palace gate.

Originally, Pei Zhaoheng was too late, and rushed back to Beijing this evening.

The disaster relief work was busy until the end of the year, and he couldn't come back at first, but he remembered Empress Chen who was alone in the palace, and he always remembered the promise he had made with He Gu before leaving that he would have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

Still rushing back all the way through the wind and snow, fortunately, I hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Beijing on the night of New Year's Eve.

Although judging by the time, the New Year's Eve palace banquet should have been half done, and He Zihuan's New Year's Eve dinner... only half left.

But Pei Zhaoheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and horses, and just got out of the carriage, when he looked up at the gate of the palace, he saw a familiar figure.

He was startled, and said: "...Zhengye?"

Zhengye managed to borrow a horse, and he was pulling Ma Jiang anxiously to get on the horse, when he turned around and saw him——

Immediately, the tip of the nose was sour, and tears were about to fall.

He thought to himself, Third Highness, you have come back, something big happened, something big happened!

-----------------

The road to the mountains in the north is long.

He Gu was riding the horse, his mind was blank, he didn't know how long he had been running, all he could see was the official road covered with thick snow, mottled with horseshoe marks, and no end in sight.

The night was too deep, and the road was too dark. There was only one person and one horse galloping on the official road. Except for He Gu, there was no other person or voice.

The horse galloped under his crotch, and He Gu was a little dazed for a while when he heard the horse's hooves falling on the snow and making a muffled "Puff" sound.

This change came too fast, too caught off guard, too much like a dream.

……how can that be possible?

God gave him a rebirth, and let him taste the taste of love that he had never tasted in his previous life... Sister Yu'er, who is called a fairy, appeared in his world, and let him know what it is to fall in love at first sight, to care about one's heart, and what is right and wrong. She can't, what is the fact that the sea is too difficult to be water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, he even swore in his heart countless times that in this life, except for sister Yu'er, he will never look at the woman next to him again.

How could there be such a good person, how could there be a person whom he liked so much?

They are husband and wife who drank the wine and worshiped the heaven and the earth. They want to grow old together, raise their eyebrows together, and promise each other through life and death.

He Gu even felt that it was because he had lived so miserable and useless in his previous life that God would call him to live a new life and bestow such a happy marriage on him.

He and his sister just got married not long ago, and they haven’t painted her eyebrows, made up her clothes, combed her hair, never went to the lantern festival with her, never watched the moon with her, although they may not have children, But he is still waiting for Sister Yu'er to watch Brother Cheng get married and Rong'er get married with him in the future. He is also looking forward to the family reunion, happiness and well-being.

But now tell him, these are all gone?

Tell him... the eldest princess is dead?

... Then what did God want him to do in this life again?

Is God playing with him?

He Gu didn't believe it.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

This sentence became the last straw in his heart. He was like a drowning man, struggling to die, gritting his teeth and holding on to the straw, unwilling to let go no matter what.

He must see his sister, he doesn't believe it.

But... the road to Zongshan alone is very cold and far away.

If...if my sister really...really...

Then this life of hard work...will never be warm again?

Without her, this world is dull and dull, and he is now running alone in the cold and heavy snow in a daze, unable to find his way, what is the difference?

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

He Gu didn't know how long he had been running, and he didn't even notice that his whole body was frozen stiff, but he just didn't realize it, pulling Ma Jiang with his head, urging the horse under his crotch to run faster, faster a little.

But this horse seems to be tired too, it usually only moves in the middle of the capital, and the distance is not too far, it has never been like today, being urged to gallop in such bad weather, it is really not that capable, the pace finally It's getting slower and slower.

It was tired, and He Gu was also tired, and he was not only tired physically, but also very dazed in his heart.

The wilderness is cold and snowy, and the cold winter nights.

A wife who is far away outside the pass, whose life and death are unknown...

At this moment, here, alone, Master He Xiaohou's emotions, which had been suppressed for a whole night, finally reached the verge of collapse, and they were about to erupt and break the embankment.

At this moment, a series of hurried hoofbeats came from a distance behind him. He Gu was slightly taken aback, and before he could turn his head, he heard a familiar man's voice.

"Zihuan!"

His back was stiff, and when he reined in his horse and looked back, he saw a vague figure in the dark night, straddling the horse and galloping towards him.

He Gu stared at the approaching figure in a daze until the outline of that person gradually became clear——

His pupils shrank slightly, looked at the person, and murmured in shock: "Third...Third Highness..."

Is he hallucinating?

At this moment, how could the Third Highness appear here?

Was he freezing to death, that's why he was hallucinating?

...It must be.

He Zihuan, you are so ridiculous...

People who have lived two lifetimes were full of confidence and swearing before, but now you can't even protect your wife and children, so why do you still want to freeze to death in the snow in such a embarrassing and ridiculous way?

...you wretch.

he thinks.

Pei Zhaoheng chased him all the way for at least an hour before he saw the figure in front of him. Although he couldn't see clearly in the night, it was just a blurry figure, but with just one glance, he was still sure that it was He Gu.

He was angry in his heart.

As he got closer, seeing the thin clothes on He Gu's body, his anger grew a little more.

...No matter how worried and afraid Zihuan was, how could he be so disregarding his own safety and his body?

How cold is it?

He just ran out one by one, what if the horse ran away to death, if he didn't catch up and Zihuan had nothing on him, did he intend to freeze to death in the wilderness like this alone?

Pei Zhaoheng reined in his horse and stopped in front of He Gu, feeling worried, annoyed and even more distressed at the moment. He wanted to say a few words to him, but when he got closer, he saw He Gu on the horse's back, with a dazed expression on his face. Seeing him approaching, there was no reaction, just muttering in his mouth with empty eyes: "...I'm a wimp."

Pei Zhaoheng noticed that his eyes were red, and he turned a blind eye to his approach, so he paused and repeated: "I'm a wimp."

After He Gu finished speaking, a big tear fell from the side of his cheek, and with a "click", it landed on the back of the horse that was panting, sweating and steaming from exhaustion.

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

... With Zihuan's appearance, how could he say anything to blame?

At this moment, He Gu didn't know why, he didn't know whether he lost his strength or was frozen, and suddenly slipped limply from the horse's back and fell on the snow.

Pei Zhaoheng was shocked, and quickly jumped off the horse, quickly stepped forward and squatted next to He Gu who had fallen into the snow, and picked him up from the snow.

Fortunately, there was a thick layer of snow on the road, and in Dali, there were no cars and horses stepping on the thin snow. Although He Gu fell off the horse's back, there shouldn't be any problems.

Even so, Pei Zhaoheng turned him over, but he still saw his eyes closed tightly, his face was pale, and his lips were even paler.

Pei Zhaoheng raised his hand and patted his cheek lightly, and said, "Zihuan...Zihuan?"

Fortunately, He Gu was not completely dizzy, so he called him twice, and he slowly opened his eyes. Pei Zhaoheng asked, "Are you okay, are you cold?"

After speaking, without waiting for He Gu's answer, he took off his cloak and surrounded He Gu tightly.

He Gu saw clearly that it was him, stayed for a while, and then murmured: "...Didn't I freeze to death?"

Hearing what he said, Pei Zhaoheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are also afraid of freezing to death, and your body is so thin, how can you run out just by yourself? How can you be so willful?"

He Gu was silent for a while when he heard this, his eyes turned red again.

Xu saw the Third Highness, and knew that his appearance was not an illusion. In the wilderness and snow, He Gu finally found someone to confide in, and the Third Highness was so warm...

In this situation, he couldn't help trusting him and relying on him. Finally, he couldn't help it, looked at Pei Zhaoheng in a nasal voice, and said in a muffled voice: "But how can I not be in a hurry! Sister Yu'er is alive or dead. I said that I saw Lianhua Temple with my own eyes and there was no one left alive... I don't believe it! She is my married wife... I must see it with my own eyes. Whether she is dead or alive, I have to see it with my own eyes. Bring her back, even if my sister is really gone, I don't want to leave her alone outside the customs, I will help her back to the capital, how can I leave her alone outside the customs? It's so cold...then..."

Pei Zhaoheng was a little annoyed when he heard that he was so indifferent, but he still suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Even if you worry about it, you can send someone to investigate. Could it be that you don't want your own life?"

Pei Zhaoheng's temper has always been gentle, and He Gu has never seen him get so angry. Even though he was stunned by his training, he didn't say a word, just stared at Pei Zhaoheng, as if he couldn't speak or move. wooden man.

As soon as Pei Zhaoheng said the words, he felt three points of regret in his heart, and felt that he shouldn't speak so harshly to He Gu, but he was really worried, so he couldn't hold back for a while.

He was about to calm down and say a few words to comfort Zihuan, but suddenly He Gu's nose twitched and he cried out.

He was crying so heroically, grabbing his tears and snot, completely devoid of demeanor and demeanor, only full of embarrassment, hiccupping while crying and howling: "I can't live... Hiccup... I can't live! My sister didn't I too... Hiccup... I'm dead! Your Highness just laugh... Hiccup... laugh, I... I'm just so useless..."

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, He Gu only thought that he looked down on him as a man, but he couldn't care less about his face at the moment. How could the sadness and grievance in his heart be the same as today's?

How can others know the suppressed thoughts and depression in his heart?

When it erupted together today, it was like a mountain torrent bursting its embankment, and it collapsed for thousands of miles.

Master He Xiaohou was hiccupping and crying with snot and tears, and was very absorbed, when he suddenly heard His Highness the Third Highness whisper: "...she's fine."

He Gu Wenyan stopped, he sniffed, looked at Pei Zhaoheng with red eyes and said: "...what?"

Pei Zhaoheng raised those beautiful peach blossom eyes and stared at him silently.

He Gu was so surprised by his sudden and strange eyes that his back felt hairy, and he was so frightened that he stopped hiccupping, but he heard Pei Zhaoheng say something out of nowhere: "Since I'm looking for a married wife...Zihuan then There is no need to go to Zongshan again."

He Gu was at a loss when he heard this: "...What did His Highness say?"

"There has never been a princess."

"It's me who married you..."

Probably Pei Zhaoheng's two short sentences contained too much information. After hearing these words, He Gu just stared at him in a daze and did not respond.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his head and cried "Aw".

Xu Shi was too stimulated today, the lacrimal glands of Lord He Xiaohou were like a runaway wild horse, he was no longer under control, he also gave up on himself completely, crying embarrassingly and uselessly, without any masculinity, no anger One came and said, "Your Highness... Hiccup... are you still human... Hiccup... it's all like this... Hiccup... you still make such jokes... Hiccup... is it interesting..."

But before he finished speaking, Pei Zhaoheng's eyes darkened, and he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed He Gu's lapel——

He Gu was still muttering about wronging Bala, but his mouth was suddenly blocked by two soft and warm lips.

He was caught off guard, his pupils constricted suddenly, and his body was so stiff that he didn't even think of resisting.

It took a while for the Third Highness to let him go, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "...do you remember?"

He Gu was dumbfounded.
