Fake concubine, real queen

As soon as He Gu saw these two words, his heart was instantly turbulent. It wasn't that he wanted to think too much, but it was because this sword couldn't help people think too much.

The Yulin sword is as its name suggests, and when the Yulin sword comes out, it is like the emperor's presence in person. During the Taizu period, when the mountains and rivers were not yet stable, the emperor temporarily bestowed it on his confidant and capable ministers, as evidence for cutting first and playing later, and doing things cheaply. As long as you see this sword , what the sword-wielder does is the divine will of heaven, if anyone dares to disobey it, it is treasonous and should be punished.

Although the times of Taizu and Gaozu have passed, the world has gradually become more peaceful and happy, and this sword has gradually lost its use. No one knows, no one knows.

The emperor actually gave him this sword. This move was really meaningful, and it couldn't make people think about it. Holding the box, He Gu's heart beat as fast as a drum——

Could it be that His Majesty is almost... already expressly stating that he intends to pass on to His Highness the Third Highness?

After all, He Gu is almost at the point of writing the three big characters Ke Wangdang on his forehead now, no matter in the eyes of others, his "friendship" with His Highness Ke Wang, or the layer of relying on the "Eldest Princess" Uncle Lang's relationship, he and His Royal Highness King Ke, the two of them are already like grasshoppers on the same rope, and the relationship of allies cannot be stronger, the emperor's kindness to him now is equivalent to showing how much he loves His Highness the Third Highness. Giving the sword to him is equivalent to giving it to the Third Highness.

But why does His Majesty trust him so much?In the final analysis, he is just a general young man now, he has no experience in the world, and he has no important bargaining chips. Enyu is really a bit serious, if it wasn't for the fact that He Gu's body has been replaced by a soul that has lived once, and he is really just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, how could he not be heartbroken and blood-boiling because of the sudden entrustment of the emperor, So he is even more determined and loyal to him?

But the emperor didn't speak. After a long while, He Gucai heard him sigh a long time on the throne, and said in a low voice: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to raise... but the relatives don't wait, Gu'er...you understand me?" Is it painstaking?"

He Gu's throat rolled slightly, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I...I don't understand what your majesty means, I only know that your majesty is wise and powerful, and in the prime of his life, he will see the great rivers and mountains of the country, the weather will be smooth, and the world will be peaceful. The descendants of the subjects are prosperous and prosperous, and the foundation will last forever, and it will be passed on from generation to generation."

Hearing this, the emperor chuckled a few times, and said: "I thought that you are a straightforward person, and you would say such beautiful words if you didn't want to, but today you are the only one here, and you don't have to be so restrained when talking to me. And I won't blame you for the mistakes in one or two sentences, no, what are you afraid of?"

When He Gu heard this, his spine couldn't help but tense three points——

Of course he is not afraid, not to mention that he is a bachelor, there is really nothing to be afraid of. Now the emperor suspects him as a trivial matter. After all, he is a brat and has no actual authority. Once you think too much and become suspicious, what should you do?

How can there be an unsuspecting king in the world?

After all, once you sit in that position and become the co-lord of the world, you have to deny it to your relatives. Whether the dragon chair above ten thousand people is hot or not, only you know, and only you know how to sleep well every long night .

How many people bow down to him, how many people are also thinking about his power and status, or hoping that he will die quickly so that he can be skinned and sucked blood, and eaten alive, or looking forward to gaining power from him? Squeeze out a little bit of oil and water, so that I can benefit a little bit. This kind of environment is a bit muddled, and I won’t be able to notice it for a while, and there will always be a day when I will be surprised——

Unless you're kidding yourself.

He Gugong said: "Your Majesty, how dare I be presumptuous."

The emperor was silent for a while, and then his tone became slightly weaker, and said: "... It is a good thing to have a sense of proportion. After all, it is a good thing to have a sense of proportion. Only when you are afraid in your heart do you know the severity... Gu Er A smart kid."

Others might not be able to notice this little change in the emperor's tone, but He Gu, who was extremely nervous at the moment, noticed it immediately. Not only was he not depressed by it, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, saying: "I will always remember your Majesty's words today." teach."

The emperor said: "When you came, you must have bumped into the priests on the road. Today, you saw my appearance, and you can probably guess that my body...is probably going to be a little bit bad."

He Gu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face, he only said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, and you are blessed by God. Even if you are slightly ill, as long as you are taken care of by the adults in the Imperial Hospital, you will be fine, I dare you A word of advice to Your Majesty... You should never say such despondent words."

The emperor said: "You don't have to comfort me. I know how my body is. I know best in my heart. I just can't worry about my children. Naturally... Gu'er is also my child. I'm just afraid that if one day I'm not around Now... the country has changed hands, how will my children deal with themselves at that time?"

He Gudao: "I'm terrified and dare not worry Your Majesty as a minister. If it affects the Holy Body, I will be in trouble."

The emperor said: "I didn't tell anyone else that this sword is given to you only for you to hold it in the future, so that you can prevent any accidents. If it is really useful...cough cough...how to use it at that time is up to you Weigh it in your heart."

He Gudao: "I thank Your Majesty for your generosity, I will keep it in my heart."

The emperor said: "As for the errands on Kunqiong Mountain, I have my own arrangements. You go first for now, and someone will tell you what to do in the future."

Today's emperor's words have not been fully explained, but the more cloudy and specious it is, the more people can't help but think about it, and taste a little more meaningful.

However, Mr. He Gu couldn't ask directly, are you really interested in the Third Highness?At least to give some nonsense like that, I had no choice but to hold the box containing the sword, obediently kowtow to accept the order, turned around and left.

As soon as He Gu left, the emperor, who had been coughing continuously on the throne, suddenly stopped coughing and panting. He was silent for a while, and then he called someone in and a young man dressed as a guard was passed into the hall.

The young man knelt down, put his forehead on the back of his hands, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

The emperor ordered in an indifferent voice: "This trip, you go to Kunqiong Mountain with the son-in-law, and you must remember what I told you."

The young man said: "Remember the humble job, don't dare to slack off."

The emperor said: "Well, you have always been safe, and I don't worry about handling things. I don't need to ask you to go in person for this matter. It's just that the relationship is so important that I have to pay more attention. If he has any wrongdoing, I will kill him on the spot. , you don’t need to report it, by the way, don’t ask Heng’er to know before doing it, Heng’er has a good nature, it’s fine if the people below don’t have evil intentions, but if Heng’er really can’t control the He family in the future... ...He will inevitably let it go because of his soft heart, and when the time comes, tigers will be infested, and it will be difficult to deal with it."

The young man said: "Your Majesty has far-reaching thoughts, but...but if Prince Ke doesn't know about this, then he will know...this..."

The emperor was silent for a while, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, if Heng'er is really confused because of this in the future, I will find a way to make him think clearly."

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

Before He Gu left, the emperor specially ordered him to keep this matter low-key and not publicize it to the outside world, and he is not a fool, so he naturally understands this truth - let the whole world know that the emperor gave him a gold medal to avoid death. , That may not be a good thing, at least those censors will be the first to disagree. At that time, I don't know how to chant the scriptures, which is not annoying enough for him.

When I returned to the Princess Mansion, it was almost evening, Consultant He asked the servants, and said that His Royal Highness King Ke had already left. He Gu thought it was the same, after all, there are a lot of errands in the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, waiting for him to go back. It's really not good for him to stay in the Princess Mansion and wait for him, delaying the business.

He Gu didn't think too much about it, he just thought that he should rest and do what he should do, but the servant told him that the Third Highness had left something for him before he left, saying that it was in Zhifangzhai on the desk.

So He Xiaohou had no choice but to stop going back to the Pianyuan, and went to Zhifangzhai.

As soon as he opened the door, He Gu remembered what happened last night, and his body froze instinctively.

It's okay not to enter the house, once he entered the house, even if it was cleaned yesterday, he still seemed to smell some kind of ambiguous smell——

The bottle of ointment specially formulated for him by Miss Yan, I thought it would be useless, but who would have thought that he showed his skills last night, but his skills were all displayed on himself...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think about what happened last night. At the beginning, His Highness the Third Highness was a little bit confused about where he was, but he was the one who taught him step by step... God pity, in fact, he himself is only good at bangs. It's so loud, I prepared and studied so hard before, and I knew how to find a place and prepared ointment. I never thought that I would suffer myself in the end...

Well, who can blame this...

Who made him willing?

He Xiaohou thought very melancholy.

What Pei Zhaoheng left for him seemed to be a letter, to be precise, it was a letter pressed in a small medicine bottle.

I don't know what was written in the letter?Could it be that this person wants to be good-looking when he gets an advantage, and deliberately writes such a post-feeling to make him angry and ashamed?

It was only for a short moment that this idea came up, and it was quickly vetoed by He Gu himself.

Uh... no, the Third Highness is not that kind of person.

But on the desk, apart from the letter, there is also a small medicine bottle, but the body of the bottle is white all over, I don't know what is inside.

He Gu picked it up and twirled it in his hand, looked around, but didn't see anything tricky, so he put it back on the table, opened the letter and read it.

... I don't know if I don't look at it, but I'm shocked when I look at it...

... and a little embarrassed.

After reading the letter, He Gu felt hot behind his ears and on his cheeks, but he still tried to remain calm, feeling it with a blank face——

Well, indeed... it really does seem to still hurt.

He couldn't help but grind his back molars secretly, and thought that he was more caring now, why didn't he care about his pain last night?

But... since the medicine has been left, it is still necessary to use it, otherwise, if it is really like what Pei Zhaoheng wrote in his letter, he will still be the one who hurts...

He Gu hesitated for a while, although there was no one in the room except him, he still instinctively sensed a little shame, couldn't help but blow out the lampstand on the table, so in the darkness, He Gu Feeling a little hidden sense of security, he took off his pants and began to put medicine on his hapless buttocks.

The medicine was indeed a bottle of good medicine, it was cold and cold, and a little bit of it could relieve five or six points of the pain. He Guzheng lay down in front of the desk and rubbed the medicine on himself with concentration, when the door suddenly opened with a creak.

A familiar male voice came from outside the door: "Zihuan... are you there?"

Master He Xiaohou pouted, with a lump of ointment still on his hand, he turned his head and met the bright and black peach blossom eyes of the Third Highness.

The two stared at each other, and Master He Xiaohou's mind suddenly went blank, and he was almost dumbfounded.
