After being forced to marry the prince

Then Gu Baiji said again, "Your Majesty forgive me for speaking boldly, His Royal Highness King Ke has a gentle and dignified temperament, and he will never give birth to the intention of harming others."

He said that Chu Wu had a gentle personality, and the emperor believed it. After all, this is what Chu Wu usually showed. .

The emperor said: "Whether Ah Jiu is guilty or not, it's not up to you to say with nothing."

Gu Baiji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. The emperor obviously had no intention of putting Chu Wu to death. He had waited for so many days without having an attack, and presumably he was waiting for a chance for Chu Wu to prove himself.

But if it is said that the emperor did this because he had some residual affection for Chu Wu, Gu Baiji didn't think so.

The emperor had clearly been watching his sons fight back and forth coldly, but in the end, he was not dead yet, so he was unwilling to accept that his son's life and death were out of his control.

Otherwise, he is the king of a country. If he really wants to thoroughly investigate the events of that day, there will not be so many people who speculate on the holy will and just be on the sidelines.

Therefore, for the emperor, Chu Wu was being plotted against, yes, that was because he was not capable enough; but he wanted to use his hands to get rid of Chu Wu, but the emperor was not so kind.

"Reporting to Your Majesty." Gu Baiji said, "The minister has been worried about the safety of the king these few days, and relying on his lightness, he went to investigate the whereabouts of that assassin at night without authorization."

"Oh?" asked the emperor, "how did it turn out?"

Gu Baiji said: "I do find something..."

"General Gu's deep affection is really touching." Chu Jun walked in from the outside, interrupted Gu Baiji's words directly, and then turned to salute the emperor, "I have seen my father, General Gu is safe and sound. !"

Then without waiting for the emperor to attack, Chu Jun knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The minister used to serve the decoction in front of the father, but I didn't pay attention for a while, and forgot to ask the inner officer to summon him, and begged the father to punish him."

"That's all." The emperor waved his hand, "What do you want here?"

"I just wanted to pay my respects to my father." Chu Jun said, "I just walked outside the palace gate and heard General Gu's speech. My son was deeply moved and a little emotional."

"It's a coincidence that you came here." The emperor said, "Since the general has been married to Ah Jiu for a while, it is understandable for him to come to intercede, so what are you feeling?"

Chu Jun said: "My son heard that General Gu is willing to advance and retreat with the rebels who failed in the assassination, and I feel very sorry for the general."

Gu Baiji heard it amused, and said coldly; "I don't need His Royal Highness to feel sorry for my minister, but I dare to ask Your Highness, who is this traitor referring to?"

Chu Jun looked at Gu Baiji with regret and admiration in his eyes: "The general is really affectionate and touching to Brother Nine Emperors, but I don't know the purpose of Brother Nine Emperors marrying the General."

Gu Baiji faced the emperor and said respectfully: "The marriage between the minister and His Royal Highness King Ke was bestowed by His Majesty. As for the purpose, I really don't understand what Your Highness means by this statement?"

Chu Jun said: "Father's decision is wise, but my ministers have heard that this marriage was first proposed by the ninth brother himself to the father."

As he said, he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Father, forgive me. My son is not questioning Father's decision, but I am a little puzzled. I have never heard that the ninth younger brother is good at breaking his sleeves, and the general has been fighting for many years. I don't have much contact with the ninth brother, so why suddenly begged my father to marry me, and married into the general's mansion as a dignified prince and a man."

Gu Baiji was already in a daze when he heard that the marriage was proposed by Chu Wu on his own initiative.At the very beginning, Gu Baiji thought about whether it was Chu Wu who proposed it on his own initiative, but Chu Wu denied it at the time.Gu Baiji thought at the time, no matter what, the emperor let him go on the battlefield and used this marriage to check and balance him. He got a life from it, but Chu Wu has become a real joke, so it should be He owes it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Chu Wu really asked for it.

After the emperor listened to Chu Jun's analysis, the suppressed doubts in his heart began to emerge again.

Seeing the emperor's thoughtful expression, Chu Jun was overjoyed, and was about to continue to say something, when suddenly he saw Eunuch Xiao coming to report:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li, please see me."

"Concubine Li?" The emperor frowned, and was about to refuse, when he suddenly remembered the tenderness and care he had when he returned to favor Concubine Li during this period, and also that this was the first time Concubine Li asked to see her after Chu Wu's accident, and she finally agreed.

Concubine Li was just outside the gate of the palace separated by a wall. When the few people spoke just now, they didn't deliberately lower their voices. She just heard Chu Jun's words.

"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

Concubine Li walked in gracefully, walked up to the emperor without squinting and bowed gently, she didn't see Gu Baiji who was at the side, as if she didn't see this person at all.

The emperor excused Concubine Li from the ceremony, saw her standing there so weak that she couldn't bear the wind, and gave her a seat, then said:

"Aifei came here, but it was also for Ah Jiu?"

Even though he asked this, he didn't mean to be angry. It was because after Chu Wu's accident, Concubine Li's behavior was too indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her. It seemed that Chu Wu had nothing to do with her.

Concubine Li didn't hide anything when she heard the words, she simply said: "Yes."

Paused, as if he was a bit embarrassed, he said softly, "Ah You made a mistake, His Majesty should punish him anyway. Therefore, the concubine didn't ask any more questions. It's just that Ayou grew up with the concubine after all. , The concubine has been ignoring it all the time, but in other people's mouths, it has become a concubine, so the concubine thought, boldly come to His Majesty to ask about Ah You's situation."

The implication is that I didn't want to care about it at first, but there are too many gossipers in the harem, and they all say that I am cold and heartless. I have no choice but to come here to beg for love or something.

She said, although her tone was gentle, but there was a hint of complaint.

Concubine Li was born beautiful, but when she got older, she became weaker and gentler. The emperor favored her again during this period, half of it was a bit of drama, and the other half was really soft jade and gentle fragrance.

However, Concubine Li has always been cold-tempered, and the emperor felt that there was a fly in the ointment, and now hearing her soft-toned, non-serious complaints, it was too late to love her, and she would still be dissatisfied, so he immediately said with dignity:

"Don't worry, Concubine Ai, I will give orders so that others will not dare to talk too much. As for Ah Jiu, since Concubine Ai is here, what do you have to say?"

Concubine Li shook her head, "My concubine is not clear about what Ah You has done, so I dare not speak too much, but when I came here, I happened to hear His Highness the Crown Prince's words. Thinking of this, I can prove it for Ah You."

"Oh?" The emperor asked with great interest, "How does Aifei want to prove it?"

The other two in the hall subconsciously waited to hear what Li Fei would say next.

Concubine Li glanced at the emperor, she seemed a little unwilling to speak for Chu Wu, hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice:

"The concubine got along with Ah You in the past few years, and got along with him...so harmoniously, so I accidentally learned a secret of Ah You."

She paused as she spoke, then raised her head to look at Gu Baiji, with a flash of distress in her eyes, and soon returned to a deadly indifference.

"There should be no purpose for Ah You to marry the General." Concubine Li said slowly, "Because Ah You has admired the General for almost ten years."

"What?" Not to mention others, even Gu Baiji couldn't believe it.For a moment, she wondered if this was Li Fei's rebuttal for Chu Wu.

"Impossible!" Chu Jun immediately retorted, "Ten years ago, the two of them probably hadn't even met face to face, and they talked about their admiration. What Li Concubine Empress said is quite absurd."

The emperor also said: "What is the basis for Aifei's statement?"

Just when everyone thought it was impossible, Li Fei nodded affirmatively and said: "There is evidence."

Chu Jun said almost aggressively: "Concubine Li, you have to think carefully, if you just find someone to use as evidence or something, it doesn't count."

Concubine Li seemed a little afraid of him, subconsciously glanced at the emperor, and leaned towards the emperor unconsciously.

The emperor immediately liked it very much. He glanced at Chu Jun with dissatisfaction, and patted Concubine Li's hand gently, "Concubine Ai continued to say, what is the basis?"

Concubine Li said just now after hearing the words: "At that time, Ah You always had an extremely precious thing by his side, and he had to keep it by his side when he went to bed." She looked at Gu Baiji and asked softly:

"General Gu, when you married Ah You, did he carry a bundle or a box with him?"
