Fake concubine, real queen

The awkward and suffocating silence lasted only for a few breaths. In just a short moment, He Gu quickly pulled up his pants at a lightning speed. His handsome face was flushed red. He tried to pretend Nothing happened, but there was really nowhere to put the ointment on the fingertips. It was not easy to put it back into the small porcelain bottle, let alone rub it on the pants casually. No, it is very embarrassing to be in a dilemma and frozen in place.

The posture in which he applied the medicine just now was already very awkward, after all, he himself couldn't see his own butt... Otherwise, he wouldn't have blown out the lamp and applied the medicine by himself while leaning on the edge of the desk... But who knows, what would happen? It was so good that the Third Highness bumped into her...

Master He Xiaohou still had the ointment on his hands, and in just a short while, the waistband of his trousers was naturally too late to fasten, so he could only try his best to keep the trousers from falling down. He made himself embarrassed to find a crack in the ground and burrowed in. He tried his best to calm down, and said nonchalantly, "Your Highness...Your Highness, why are you here, and the servants didn't tell me?"

Seeing his appearance, Pei Zhaoheng didn't answer, but his eyes moved slightly, stepped into the study, turned around and closed the door, walked to He Gu who was still holding the edge of the table in a daze, and picked up the table without saying a word. He opened the cork and glanced at the remaining amount of ointment in the bottle, then raised his eyes to look at He Gu and said, "Take off your pants, let me have a look."

He Gu: "..."

Although...although last night, he and His Highness had indeed had a skin-to-skin relationship...but...but it was also the first time he had sex, no matter what kind of sense it was the first time...

If he hadn't been announced to enter the palace suddenly by the emperor today, He Gu himself hadn't adjusted his mentality to be able to calmly accept that he let His Highness the Third Highness do this... The reason why he was able to maintain his calm all day long was because His Majesty didn't show any clues, but it was because he forced himself not to think about what happened last night.

After all, it was all he wanted, and now that he has done it, if he is awkward and angry, if he dares to do it or not, wouldn't he be like a little daughter-in-law?And a big old man, if he breaks his sleeves, he still blames others for being too strong and hurt himself, no matter what he thinks, something is wrong... He is not a drunk on the branch, even if his heart is really embarrassing and his butt hurts. , it is also impossible to break this opening.

It's just that although He Gu wants to save face, he would rather slap his swollen face and grit his teeth than show weakness, but this does not mean that there is really no disturbance in his heart. The Third Highness has tormented him for a whole night last night. As soon as we met today, I asked him to take off his pants, what is going on...

It was a bit violent last night, but today he was summoned by the emperor, and the chariot to enter the palace could only sit outside the gate of Taihe, and he had to walk on two legs for a large part of the road. He managed to persevere, but It's also a tearing pain every step I take, and it may be swollen now... It's so embarrassing, how can I let others see it!

After a long while, He Gucai blushed, choked his neck and said: "I... I won't take it off!"

Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while.

Just now he took a look at the medicine in the porcelain bottle, he had already used half of it, he naturally knew Zihuan's temperament, since Zihuan was willing to use the medicine, it must have been so painful that he couldn't stand it, otherwise he would be a dead duck , If you can resist hard, you will definitely not show weakness.

And it happened that he ran into that scene, just looking at Zihuan's embarrassing appearance of blushing and desperately pulling up his belt, the medicine probably hasn't been finished yet.

Pei Zhaoheng paused, and said, "I don't do anything, I just give you medicine."

He Gu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the sharp and handsome face of the Third Highness, whose expression was as indifferent as usual, but last night suddenly appeared in his mind - he accidentally saw the slight sweat on Pei Zhaoheng's forehead under the moonlight , with a light blush on his cheeks, deep eyes, and a hoarse voice when he called him "Zihuan", suddenly his ears started to feel hot, and he quickly looked away in embarrassment. Said: "I... I have used the medicine myself, and I dare not work for Your Highness."

Pei Zhaoheng frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you still talking to me like this now?"

He Gu was taken aback and said, "Ah... what are you talking about?"

Pei Zhaoheng stretched out his hand to grab his wrist tightly clenched on the waist of his trousers, and said in a low voice: "...You and I are already husband and wife, so why do you call yourself Your Highness? What labor are you talking about?"

"You don't want me to give you medicine, who do you want?"

He Gu was dumbfounded. Why does the Third Highness's words sound so wrong?

He didn't want His Highness to look at his swollen butt... It doesn't mean that he intends to let others see it... His Highness is bullying him and changing his concept to fool others?

He Gu immediately said angrily: "Your Highness...Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness, I just... just don't want to show it to you, and... I don't want to show it to others..."

Maybe it was too embarrassing and nervous. In the past, He Gu’s words were always smooth, but today he stuttered inexplicably. Maybe it’s because the waistbands of his trousers are lifted like this. They are in a critical state that may fall off at any time, which really makes people feel uncomfortable...

Pei Zhaoheng's drooping eyelashes trembled, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but his smile was not obvious, and he said, "... Really?"

When He Gu heard that he still asked whether it was true or not, he became anxious for a moment. Originally, he was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness would actually suspect that he was going to show his ass to others. He thought he was someone. Angrily said: "Of course it's true! You...what do you think of me, I just...I just like His Highness, so I'm willing to be...cough...to be treated like that by Your Highness...I'm not born I like men, and I'm not a guy who sells butts! How can I catch someone casually and show them their butts...and...and my ass is nothing to look at..."

Although Pei Zhaoheng wanted to tease him, he really didn't expect that Zihuan would become impatient when he teased him. He Guqi's face was red and his neck was thick, and those bright eyes that used to look forward to flying and shining brightly were also wide open at this moment. , The water is shining, looking at that demeanor, I am really unhappy.

Looking at He Gu's appearance, his heart suddenly softened a little, but before he had time to speak, he was almost amused by He Gu's speech after hearing He Gu's speech. With a little bit of force, he stroked the protruding veins on He Gu's wrist, and then said softly: "I made a slip of the tongue, it's mine, don't worry, Zihuan."

He Gu felt his soft and soft fingertips rubbing against his wrist, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately wanted to withdraw his hand to hide, but just as he retracted his hand, he suddenly realized——

He is still holding his trouser waist with his hands!

The hand is shrinking, what about the pants? ?

Fortunately, He Gu has practiced martial arts for many years, and his eyes are sharp and his hands are quick. Just as his trousers were about to fall down, he quickly lifted them back again. This time the scene was even more embarrassing. Before He Gu had time to say anything, he heard three His Highness's uncontrollable chuckle came from the top of his head——

He Xiaohou raised his trouser waist, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "Your Highness, what are you laughing at! It's you who scared me!"

Pei Zhaoheng still couldn't hide the smile in his voice, and said in a low voice: "Okay, blame me, I will apologize to Zihuan."

He Gu turned his head sideways, hummed inaudibly in his nose, and then stopped talking.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Turn around and go, I'll put the medicine on you."

He Gu suddenly became nervous again, and said vigilantly, "Why do you want to..."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "If the medicine is not applied well, it will still hurt tomorrow. The documents from the Ministry of War will probably arrive in two days after tomorrow. Zihuan plans to ride a horse like this, and leave Beijing?"

He Gu was stunned, and imagined his current state, the sour and refreshing taste of riding on the horse's back, and his scalp felt numb all of a sudden——

This... This is really unbearable.

only……

He glanced at Pei Zhaoheng cautiously, and asked, "...Is it really just medicine?"

Pei Zhaoheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I never lied to you."

He Guxin said, yes... His Highness the Third Highness never lied to him, maybe it was because his appearance last night, which was completely different from usual, was a little scary, which made him feel a little scared, but since he is Good intentions, no matter how hypocritical he is, it's not appropriate for him, so he struggled for a while before turning around slowly.

As soon as he took off his trousers, he was immediately chilled by the night wind. Thinking of having to be watched by the Third Highness to apply the medicine, Master He Xiaohou leaned over the desk, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed, but he couldn't hide, so he just I was able to recite the Buddha's name silently with my eyes closed. Fortunately, the lights in the room had been blown out just now, and the light was relatively dim, so the sense of shame was slightly relieved.

He Gu also couldn't see the expression and movements of His Highness the Third Highness, but he felt that his movements were very gentle, and there was almost no pain. After taking half a cup of tea kung fu medicine, he only felt cool, and the original tearing pain eased a lot. And the places that he couldn't wipe himself, the third highness also took care of them.

It's just that the butt was tortured once yesterday, and today it is touched by the person who tortured him yesterday, it is unavoidably sensitive and embarrassing. Although he just took medicine and his movements are very gentle, He Gu still moved a little bit uneasy. Immediately, a big hand pressed down on the lower back, saying: "Relax, don't be so nervous."

He Gu: "..."

Why does this sentence sound familiar...?

When the medicine was finally finished, He Xiaohou raised his trousers as if he was relieved when he heard the Third Highness's "Okay", and fastened his belt. Pei Zhaoheng laughed when he saw this, but he didn't care. He just turned around and asked his servants to bring in a cushion, spread it on the couch in the side hall of Zhifangzhai, and told He Gu to sit down, and then he gave up.

He Gu was carefully and properly served by him once, and the pain in his buttocks really eased a lot, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He just had this thought, and immediately thought of it——no, if it wasn't for this guy, his own buttocks Originally, there was no need to suffer and suffer such a pain, and the uneasiness in my heart was immediately relieved.

In short, just don't come again a second time, and don't come now if you want to come... This is his life...

Fortunately, His Royal Highness didn't seem to continue to focus on his buttocks, Pei Zhaoheng said: "Father asked Zihuan to enter the palace, but for the documents?"

Thinking of what happened just now, He Gu moved his throat slightly, and said, "Well, yes, His Majesty said that he would send me to camp at the foot of Kunqiong Mountain to be an envoy for food and wages."

The sword bestowed by the emperor, he had repeatedly told him before leaving the palace, not to tell anyone, including His Highness the third prince, although He Gu's heart must be towards Pei Zhaoheng, and he didn't intend to hide anything from him, but it is still here after all. In Beijing, His Majesty gave him the sword and wanted to hide it from the Third Highness. No one knew what the reason was, and He Gu couldn't guess it. In that case, he rashly told His Highness. If the Emperor finds out about it later, maybe Still causing trouble, in this case, let's follow what the emperor said——

In short, until now, He Gu really dare not be careless. All kinds of accidents in Beijing these days, the court was shaken, the officials in Jiangluo were dismissed, their homes were ransacked, and they were investigated. Questioning, reprimanding, fines, what's more, provoked Longyan's fury, and he was directly dismissed from his job.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that behind these people, nine out of ten are inextricably related to the prince, and they were not picked up by the prince himself when he was doing business in the official department and approving transfer documents. It is the disciple of the old man of the Chen family, or the close friend of Uncle Chen Guo.

Despite the turmoil in Jiangluo's officialdom, it seems that Song Hang and his son did not know how to live and die, and offended the emperor. Those in Beijing who did not wink and plead were implicated and reprimanded, lost their jobs, and it was only because they really couldn't think clearly.

But He Gu still instinctively felt something was wrong——

It's really a coincidence, one or two can still be called a coincidence, five or six...it's too a coincidence, the coincidence is not normal, how to deal with five, five of them are all the princes?

Although everything seems to be a coincidence, even though the emperor still has not blamed the prince, these things have not spread to the prince, and even the old man of the Chen family is about to celebrate his [-]th birthday, the emperor even rewarded the Chen family a lot. Among them, the shapes and specifications of several pieces of jade were somewhat beyond the regulations that the Chen family could have used. However, the emperor didn't mind at all, and directly rewarded the items. The Kunsheng troupe, who performed on the stage, went to Chen's house to set up a stage to perform for Mrs. Chen's birthday.

Old Mrs. Chen gained face, so uncle Chen, the Chen family gained face, and the Chen family gained face, so the crown prince gained face. The emperor's kindness to the prince's family also showed his love for the prince to a certain extent. Those who stood in line for the East Palace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.

But He Gu didn't think so.

He died once, and now he has understood a truth that should be the most obvious, but also the most easily overlooked——

When looking at a person, what should be seen is how he does it, not how he says it.

The emperor looked at it, no matter how good he was to the prince and the Chen family, but these benefits were not realized, what's the use of just talking about it?In fact, the Chen family's sphere of influence and members of the sect were down one after another intentionally or unintentionally, without coincidence. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Although there is no certainty that His Majesty the Third Highness is the one that the emperor is interested in, He Gu can at least be sure that the Crown Prince is definitely not the one that His Majesty is looking for now. As long as His Majesty can maintain the current decisiveness, it is only a matter of time before the Crown Prince is deposed.

Pei Zhaoheng just sat down next to He Gu, when he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Kunqiong Mountain..."

He Gu knew that he was probably wondering what the hell Kunqiong Mountain was, but he didn't explain it right away, he just hid the part about the emperor bestowing the sword, and relayed everything he saw and heard today to Pei Zhaoheng.

At the end he said: "Your Majesty has a purpose in ordering this order, but I can't guess it. I think that what matters now is His Majesty's body. The pills made by Taoist priests can eat the dead, and His Majesty actually uses it to boost the spirit. If you take it often, you will suffer from it in the long run, but I am not good at persuading His Majesty, and I dare not talk too much, so I can only tell His Majesty about it."

Hearing this, Pei Zhaoheng was obviously a little surprised, and said in a deep voice, "Zihuan is saying... Father has a cough?"

He Gu nodded, and said: "I look at it, it's likely to be the case, this disease can't be delayed, and taking those medicines burned with pill ashes really won't have any effect."

Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, then said: "I understand, I will report this matter to the Queen Mother, Zihuan doesn't have to worry about it."

He Gu let out a "hmm" and said, "That's all about these things. Anyway, I'm leaving in two days. Your Highness will stay in Beijing to take care of yourself. If something urgent..."

He paused, stood up, walked back to the desk, spread out a piece of letter paper, wrote something quickly on the paper, stamped his private seal, pressed his fingerprints, folded it, and was about to turn around and hand it in. For Pei Zhaoheng, but before he took a step, he found that His Highness the Third Highness was staring at him behind his back.

He Gu was taken aback, seeing Pei Zhaoheng staring at him, he couldn't help but said, "What's wrong, Your Highness, you suddenly stood behind you, scaring me."

He handed over the folded paper again, and said: "This is my handwriting. With this handwriting, we can mobilize two hundred old He family members when we go back to the village where we went to the suburbs of Beijing last time. Although there are not many people, they are all good people." As a top player, I naturally look forward to His Highness's safety, I leave Beijing, and there is no one around His Highness, and I have to prevent others from jumping over the wall in a hurry, these people may come in handy at a critical moment."

Pei Zhaoheng didn't speak, didn't take the book, just looked at He Gu and said, "Your family's old department was given to me... What about Zihuan?"

He Gu was taken aback, he really hadn't thought about this question, scratched his head and said: "This... I just lost a small place that doesn't shit to be a soldier, what danger can I encounter? They are useless, but they are the wolves and leopards in the capital, so I don't feel at ease if His Highness stays in the capital alone."

What's more, his intention to train people is also for the purpose of helping His Highness win the reserve.

All directions in this life are different from those in the previous life. The downfall of the Song family has never happened in the previous life. He Gu felt a little uneasy in his heart. With his slowness, he could tell that the emperor was actually cutting off the branches and leaves of the prince's power. , as shrewd and sensitive as Pei Zhaoyuan, and the Chen family behind him, how could he not see it?

No matter what the emperor thinks, but since the Bow and Horse Conference, what he did when he returned to Beijing was really obvious and too impatient.

Thinking of this, He Gu was slightly taken aback, and for some reason, the emperor's severe cough popped up in his mind, which was relieved by taking elixir——

Your Majesty, Your Majesty won't be... that's why you're in a hurry, right?

... Could it be that he is not just sick?

He Gu was startled in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Pei Zhaoyuan, if he is really driven to nowhere, once he is in a hurry, he suddenly finds that his father is seriously ill, and he is not sure that he will do something crazy, so that he can go further...

Previously, the teacher, Mr. Wang, had considered everything for him and His Highness the Third Highness, but he had missed the joint that His Majesty had contracted the disease at this juncture, but it was just this little change. When he was not in Beijing, he did not know how big a problem he would cause. Misfortune came out.

The more He Gu thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and when he thought of the emperor's act of resolutely teaching him the Yulin Sword, it was even more meaningful. He thought it was to give him a gold medal to avoid death, but now he suddenly realized that this It's not good, but before he died, he asked Gu...

But if the emperor is really dead, at this juncture, the third highness is still fledgling, even if the errands have been done well in the past half a year, and some people praise a few words, but once the world is in chaos, He Gu is a person who has come back to life. He knew that even though the crown prince seemed to be doing the same thing now, if he put it all together, the current Third Highness would be far behind him.

Since the emperor prefers His Highness the Third Highness, and the Crown Prince is powerful now, he will naturally live an extra day, and with the protection of his father, the Third Highness can take a moment to breathe, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity.

And if the emperor really went, then the Third Highness... can only gamble.

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

Sure enough, the documents from the Ministry of War came down very quickly.

He Gu was transferred to a camp at the foot of Kunqiong Mountain, where he served as an envoy for food, soldiers and horses, and set off in three days without delay.

Yan Dingye was sent to Chenghe camp.

Kunqiong Mountain is quite embarrassing, whether it is near or far, it is neither like the camp of Chenghe, which is already approaching Zongshan, and it is only a few hundred miles away, and it is not like Xishan Grassland , within easy reach of Bianjing.

In fact, Kunqiong Mountain is not a mountain, but it is more like a slope. It is just at the junction of the Xishan Grassland and the North Mountains. On the way from the capital to Chenghe Daying, it is still in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Naturally, the barbarians and horse bandits who have no intrusions live in peace, and they really can't make any meritorious achievements. But in terms of comfort and comfort, they are far inferior to the second-generation ancestors of Xuan Zhuwei and the imperial army in Beijing, who can stay in Beijing. Splendid clothing and fine food all day long, delicious food and spicy food.

There is only such an errand as taking care of transporting grain, grass, and military pay from the middle of Beijing to Chenghe Daying, escorting, and helping to make up for one or two errands. Not bad, not bad place to go.

After all, He Gu led the army for many years in his previous life. When the emperor entered the palace and told him about it that day, his butt hurt and he was very absent-minded. Naturally, he didn't think about it. After thinking about it these days, he immediately realized something else. Come--

The emperor put him in such a hub connecting the northern lands with the capital, where grain, grass, and military supplies must be transported. Although food, soldiers, and horse envoys may not seem to have an important job, they are better than such a place. This status is actually cheap. , almost all the chariots and horses going to the Chenghe camp had to pass under his nose first, that’s not counting, and he was handed a Yulin sword that can be cut first and played later...

This……

Of course, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to want him to rebel, but it is more likely that he is...stuck in the north, watching the movements of the Chenghe Camp.

It's just that even though he thought of this, He Gu still felt a little uneasy in his heart. After all, the power His Majesty entrusted to him this time is really too great. There is no such thing as a free pie in the world. If it really is, then maybe The pie hooks the place where you want to jump down, and the bottom is full of knife points.

Sure enough, the day before his departure, the emperor sent someone from the palace to He Gu. He Gu read the emperor's letter brought by the prince, probably saying that this person will follow him and be at his disposal in the future.

Putting eyeliner on his side so blatantly, without even trying to cover it up, it's a hint rather than an explicit statement, the emperor obviously has nothing to fear, so he just told He Gu to be honest and not to do anything wrong...

He Gu accepted the order and sent Wang Neiguan away, then turned his head and looked at the young man who was sent.

He was in his early twenties, wearing a veiled hat, dressed in dark clothes, tall and tall, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

He Gu only glanced at it, and then said: "You are from Qianjiaowei, right? What's your name?"

The man paused, obviously a little surprised, then took off his veil, raised his head and looked at He Gu.

When he raised his head, He Gu saw his appearance clearly, and immediately froze in place.

This person's facial features are broad, upright and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes - he belongs to the type of pretending to be a villain no matter how hard he tries.

Naturally, He Gu recognized him, the comrade who was born and died with him for many years in his previous life, but because of his own negligence, he left Beijing and finally fell into the hands of the prince...

He Gu stared at him blankly for a long while, and when he came back to his senses, his nose suddenly felt sour, and he couldn't help but said: "Yan... Yan..."

Brother Yan?

In his previous life, he was late in returning to Beijing, and he didn't even see Yan Chi's complete body, so naturally he couldn't collect it for him. This almost became something that He Gu was still brooding about before he died.

I didn't want to meet him again in this life, but it was such a sudden and unexpected situation.

He Gu's heart was agitated, and he couldn't restrain himself for a moment. He walked forward in two steps and grabbed Yan Chi's shoulders. It's just that he was not as tall as Yan Chi, so it was somewhat difficult to hold him.

Master He Xiaohou naturally knew that Yan Chi had never seen him in this life, and he hugged him as soon as he came up like this, most people would be confused, but He Gu still couldn't help but hugged him and slapped his shoulders at the same time.

That's great... that's great... There's still time for everything, the comrade killed by him is still alive, there's still time for everything...

Yan Chi was really at a loss. At first, he thought that the young master was going to be annoyed because His Majesty put himself next to him for surveillance, but he didn't want the young master He to come out like this, with red eyes and red eyes. It was sniffing, and it was hitting him hard on the shoulder——

——and hammered so hard.

Yan Chi really didn't expect that the little Hou Ye's fist, which didn't look too big, fell down like a mountain top, almost hitting his calf trembling, and he couldn't stand still.

He Gu calmed down with great difficulty, and was about to speak, but a servant ran in from outside the door, and said in a respectful voice: "Master Hou, His Royal Highness Ke is here."

He Gu still held Yan Chi in his arms and did not let go, his eyes were a little blurred by the mist, and when he heard the words, he raised his head, and immediately bumped into the indifferent and piercing peach blossom eyes of His Highness the Third Highness.

Yan Chi was still at a loss for the young master's actions and expression just now, but he hadn't figured it out yet, and here came another King Ke, and it was clearly the first time he and His Highness King Ke had met, His Highness Ke looked at him. His eyes seemed to be...uh...in short, it's definitely not that friendly.

Yan Chi wondered where he had met the young master before before he recognized him, and before he could figure it out, he began to wonder where he had offended His Royal Highness King Ke before.

However, Yan Chi hadn't come up with a name yet, so he heard His Royal Highness King Ke say: "...Since you are Zihuan's friend, why don't you introduce me to me?"

Yan Chi was about to explain that it was actually the first time he and the young master had met, so he heard the young master He quickly reply: "No, it's also the first time I've seen Yan... Uh guard Yan, it's just like old friends at first sight..."

"Seeing each other?"

As soon as His Royal Highness Ke's words came out, Yan Chi hadn't recovered, and immediately felt that the son-in-law who was still holding him suddenly let go of his hand, and bounced eight feet away quickly.

Yan Chi: "..."

,
