Being too close, Gu Min smelled the incense on the emperor's clothes, a pleasant woody fragrance, cool and natural, smelling it carefully, it seemed to have a little fruity, sweet fragrance, and seeing Shen Ying's cheeks pale and smooth The pores are so invisible that Gu Min can't help but think of their lychees from southern Xinjiang. The peeled lychees are crystal clear and full of fruity fragrance. One bite will bring a delicious fragrance to the cheeks.

And now, he really wants to bite this "lychee".

Gu Min rolled his Adam's apple slightly, and said with difficulty: "If the emperor doesn't want to, the minister...don't want to."

The corners of Shen Ying's lips were lifted up, and she quickly placed a kiss on Gu Min's lips, and said with a smile, "I knew you and I were in the same heart!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ying let go of Gu Min, and was about to straighten up and stand up, but found that Gu Min's hands were already around his waist at some point, and Shen Ying's upper body was leaned back, but Gu Min was still missing. There is any meaning to let go.

The corner of Shen Ying's mouth froze, what does the traitor mean?

Looking at Gu Min again, the man looked at him deeply with a pair of lacquered eyes, which seemed to contain deeper anticipation, Shen Ying twitched twice near his temples, could it be that his kiss just now was not enough?

Damn, he did a lot of mental work for that kiss just now. After all, if the emperor and his favorite concubine didn't have any intimate contact, just saying how deep and good the relationship is is not enough to make people believe it.

But this is already the limit of what he can do, if Gu Min is still delusional, it is a dream!

Shen Ying patted Gu Min's shoulder pretendingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, today you are tired from hunting in the morning, and you have to continue hunting in the afternoon, so go back to your tent to rest, and I will send you to talk in the evening."

After being reminded by Shen Ying, Gu Min realized that it was still daytime, and doing such a thing in broad daylight was a bit against the rules of etiquette. If people saw it and spread it, wouldn't it be true that he was accused of charming the Lord? ?

So he quickly let go, let Shen Ying stand up, and then stood up to salute, "Your Majesty, that minister will take his leave."

Shen Ying waved his sleeves, nodded and said, "Go."

Gu Min was about to walk out of the tent, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I have caught some hare and pheasant, can I cook you some barbecue tonight?"

Shen Ying's smile disappeared at first, but when she saw Gu Min turning her head, she quickly raised the corners of her mouth, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I like barbecue meat the most."

Gu Min took a deep look at Shen Ying, then smiled faintly, opened the curtain, and walked out.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, the corners of Shen Ying's mouth drooped immediately, her phoenix eyes blinked, and the affection in her eyes was no longer there, only coldness remained.

Shen Ying wiped her lips twice with the back of her hand, and let out a cold snort from her nose, Wang Shi, Han Shi, and Gu Min, these three are all Guo Jiuchen's people, he can't cope with one, and two more , he can't stand it.

What's more, it's okay for Gu Min to be a man, he can still pretend to deal with it, and the other two are women, if the Queen Mother uses tricks to force him to have a child with the Wang family and the Han family, as soon as the child falls to the ground, So is he, the puppet emperor, still alive?

It has been found out just now that Gu Min was unhappy yesterday because he paid too much attention to Lin Che's eyes. This shows that Gu Min still cares about him, the emperor's favor.

Because Gu Min is ambitious, and the emperor's favor can bring him power and status, so of course he doesn't want anyone to share favor with him. Just taking Gu Min's scoop gave Gu Min a delusion that he could monopolize the favor and that the favor would last forever.

For the rest, let them fight on their own.



Gu Min returned to his tent and asked his subordinates to call Jiang Shuiping.

When Jiang Shuiping came in, he saw Gu Min sitting there in a daze, with his hands resting on the table, his index finger curled up to his lips, rubbing it twice from time to time, his movements were very strange.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Shuiping interrupted Gu Min's daze in a rough voice, and joked, "You look like a little girl in Huaichun."

Gu Min returned to his senses, put down the hand on his lips, his expression returned to his usual indifference, and retorted coldly, "What nonsense."

Jiang Shuili sat down cheerfully, picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a glass of water. This time he came here with Gu Min pretending to be a Jin Yiwei. They were hunting all morning, and he was on patrol, but he was bored. died.

Jiang Shuiping drank two cups of tea in a row, then put down the cup and wiped his mouth, and asked, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Gu Min first threw a sign on the table, then pushed an envelope in front of Jiang Shuili, and said in a low voice, "There are so many people here, and it's very inconvenient for me to do things. Go and help me contact Cang Falcon and let him find a way." Sneak in tonight to assassinate Guo Jiuchen, there is a camp map inside, Guo Jiuchen's camp is here, you can roar at the end of the banquet at Haishi tonight, and assassinate Guo Jiuchen when he returns to the tent."

Cang Falcon is the captain of the Shadow Guard trained by the Pingyang Palace. After King Pingyang was imprisoned, Cang Falcon brought a dozen elite shadow guards to the capital with Gu Min, and hid in the capital to wait for an opportunity.

Gu Min had never used the sharp blade of the shadow guard before, but today he suddenly ordered the shadow guard to assassinate Guo Jiuchen. Jiang Shuiping was surprised after hearing what he said, and asked nervously, "What happened? Is it you?" Was the dog found the flaw?"

"No." Gu Min waved his hand to signal him to be calm, "It's just acting and not really trying to kill him, the letter also wrote a detailed plan for tonight's operation, you give it to Cang Falcon, he will know what to do when he sees it Do."

Jiang Shuiping was a little confused: "Acting? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand the more I listen?"

Gu Min stood up and pulled Jiang Shuiping up from the chair, and stuffed the token and letter into his chest.He pushed him out of the tent, urging him: "Time is running out and I don't have time to explain to you in detail. You first take your badge and pass on my order, and let Cang Falcon explain it to you on the way back!"



The last rays of the setting sun faded into the forest, and the first day of the hunting competition was over. Gu Min had added a stag, a wolf, two foxes, and countless pheasants and hares to his prey. The result was without any doubts. Ranked first.

After the first day of hunting, everyone realized that Gu Shaojun, the emperor, seemed to have more than just a good skin. At least, he was much better than ordinary people in shooting and hunting. He was really not a character to be underestimated.

The one who felt the deepest about this was undoubtedly King An. He is a rich and idle man, so he is naturally not good at archery, a skill that requires years of hard work. A few were still afraid that he would find too little hunting and would lose face if people saw him, so he asked his followers to catch those small animals first, and then go up with arrows.

When he saw Gu Min returning to the camp with so many prey, King An's expression was not to mention how ugly it was.

In the evening, banquets and dances were arranged in the camp to entertain the warriors who had worked hard all day.

There was still a bonfire burning in the open space, with a wild deer on it. While sprinkling seasoning on the venison, the little eunuch twirled the wooden stick with which the venison was forked, and the smell of roasting meat immediately filled the entire camp.

After a while the venison was roasted, the little eunuch cut off a piece of the tenderest and most delicious part of the venison, put it on a plate and served it to the emperor, and then distributed the roasted venison equally to the other courtiers.

Shen Ying tasted a piece of venison and thought it tasted good, so she put two more pieces into her mouth. When she looked up, she saw that Gu Min was looking at her, as if she was asking him how it tasted. She suddenly remembered, This deer seems to be hunted by Gu Min.

After eating someone else's venison, she couldn't justify not returning a little gift, so Shen Ying beckoned for Mrs. Wang, who was standing by the side, to come over, pointed to the jug on the table and said, "Go and take my jug of wine to Gu Shaojun. Tell him that I like roasted venison very much, and the wine is a joy to congratulate him on his first day of hunting, and you will stay by Gu Shaojun's side to help him pour the wine, and I don't need you to serve here."

Mrs. Wang picked up the jug and went, hating to death in her heart, the daughter of a dignified family, the daughter of an official family, even if she was reduced to a low-status court lady, she actually wanted to help the emperor serve a male favourite, and suffered this in full view. Humiliation, how can she hold her head up among the noble ladies in the capital in the future?

But no matter how much she hated her, she still had to do what the emperor said, and at the same time she was filled with remorse. If she knew it earlier, she shouldn't have agreed to her father to choose a concubine.

I thought the emperor was greedy for beauty, but I didn't expect that two beautiful beauties like Han Shi stood in front of the emperor, but the emperor didn't even look at them. I really don't know what's so good about this Gu Shaojun, so fascinated He is the only one in the emperor's eyes, when will she make it in the palace?

The scene where the emperor asked Wang to serve Gu Min was all seen by Guo Jiuchen, and his face immediately showed displeasure. Didn't he ask Gu Min to speak nicely for Wang and Han in front of the emperor?Why is the emperor still so indifferent to the Wang family and the Han family?

This Gu Min, did he take his words to heart?Do you think that you can rely on the emperor's favor and ignore his orders?How unreasonable!

Guo Jiuchen's face was cold, and he ordered the little eunuch who was serving beside him to send a message to Gu Min, asking him to come to see him after the dinner, and he had something to say to Gu Min.

Sitting in a high position, Shen Ying calmly took in all the small movements between Guo Jiuchen and Gu Min. Well, the fight is about to start, the more intense the better!

When the dinner was over, the emperor returned to the imperial tent first, and then everyone left one after another.

Gu Min got Guo Jiuchen's letter, so naturally he couldn't ignore it, and when everyone was almost gone, he went to catch up with Guo Jiuchen who rushed back to the tent in a huff.

"Master." Gu Min stopped Guo Jiuchen outside his tent, saluted him, "I don't know what the master wants from me?"

Guo Jiuchen stopped, turned around, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "Did you do what our family told you to do? Why is the emperor still indifferent to Wang and Han?"

Gu Min said with a respectful face: "Mr. Zhang Mingjian, this subordinate has indeed spoken a lot of good things for the Wang family and the Han family in front of the emperor according to your instructions, but the emperor really has little interest in her two. Sacred heart is like this. Subordinates can't influence, please forgive me."

Guo Jiuchen sneered, "Is it because of the Sacred Heart, or because you are not effective, or because you want to monopolize the favor and don't want others to get close to the emperor?"

Gu Min solemnly said: "The subordinates will never dare to disobey the order of the factory owner!"

Guo Jiuchen looked at Gu Min's face, and suddenly thought of a certain possibility, his eyes widened, and he said doubtfully, "You probably fell in love with the emperor, right?"

Gu Min said without changing his face: "Of course not. The minister and the emperor are men, and they are destined not to be together for a long time. How could the minister be tempted by the emperor? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Guo Jiuchen said with a sinister smile: "It's good if you really understand this. Junshu, this time our family will not care about you for the time being. The emperor is now focused on you, so he is not interested in Wang and Han. But letting the Wang family and the Han family enter the palace as a concubine is the queen mother's and our family's plan, and no one can hinder it, do you understand what our family means?"

This was to warn him that if he hindered the Wang family and the Han family, Guo Jiuchen would not show mercy to him, and Gu Min would not understand.

Gu Min lowered his head and was about to say "Understood", when suddenly a sharp sound of a sharp sword piercing the air rang out in his ears, he raised his head suddenly, and saw a masked man in black descending from the sky, pointing the sword at Guo Jiuchen's back. Go, and shouted: "Eunuch, today I will take your dog's life to comfort the souls of the 21 lives of my Li family!"

Gu Min reacted quickly, and immediately shouted: "Master, be careful!"

Then he rushed towards Guo Jiuchen quickly and pushed Guo Jiuchen away, but he was facing the assassin's sword and couldn't dodge it. At the critical moment, he could only raise his left arm to block the sword to protect himself!

The sharp sword cut through Gu Min's coat mercilessly, and cut deep into the flesh and blood. Gu Min blocked the assassin's blow with his flesh and blood, and quickly pulled out the Xiuchun knife hanging from his waist with his right hand, and raised the knife to slash upwards forcefully. Block the assassin's sword, retreat in front of Guo Jiuchen, and cover Guo Jiuchen's retreat with his body.

"Come here! There are assassins! Protect the factory owner!"

Originally, Guo Jiuchen had Jin Yiwei following and protecting him, but because he had to talk to Gu Min alone just now, Jin Yiwei retreated to a distance, leaving only a young eunuch to accompany him, so he gave the assassin a chance to attack.

The little eunuch ran for his life in fright when he saw an assassin, but thanks to Gu Min who had just risked his life to save Guo Jiuchen, he was spared the fate of being stabbed through the heart with a sword.

Gu Min dragged a bleeding arm, only holding the Xiuchun knife in his right hand, struggling to fight with the assassin, desperately protecting Guo Jiuchen behind him, at this moment, the Jin Yiwei in the distance heard Gu Min's voice, and hurried over to help Catch the assassin.

The assassin saw a large number of Jinyi guards coming not far away, and knew that it would be difficult for him to escape if he dragged on, so he blocked Gu Min with his sword, and jumped to the top of the tent to escape.

Jin Yiwei rushed over, Guo Jiuchen narrowly escaped death, pointed at the top of the tent in shock and anger and ordered: "Follow me! We must bring that assassin back to our family!"

Dozens of Jin Yiwei were ordered to quickly chase the assassin in the direction of escape, and the rest of them surrounded Guo Jiuchen to protect them from another assassin.

When Guo Jiuchen stabilized his mind, he remembered that it was Gu Min who saved his life just now, and he couldn't help being moved. He hurriedly turned to find Gu Min to confirm his injury. When he saw that Gu Min's left arm was bleeding profusely, it had already flowed all over the floor After it was all blood, Guo Jiuchen immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Quickly send the imperial doctor over to treat Mr. Gu!"



After the dinner party, Shen Ying returned to the imperial tent, and just after taking a bath, she was about to send the little eunuch to deliver Gu Min, when she suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the tent, vaguely heard someone shouting "catch the assassin", it was strange He asked Wan Zhongquan what happened.

Wan Zhongquan went out to inquire, and ran in after a while, still in shock, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good! An assassin sneaked into the camp just now, and now the Jin Yiwei outside is searching everywhere for the assassin!"

"Assassin?" Shen Ying frowned and asked strangely, "Who is he going to kill?"

Wan Zhongquan said: "Back to the emperor, it is Guo Daban."

Shen Ying was overjoyed when she heard the words, but she couldn't laugh directly, and asked gloatingly, "How is Guo Daban doing now? Is he okay?"

Wan Zhongquan patted his chest: "It's all right, luckily there was someone protecting me at that time."

Shen Ying sighed in her heart, it's a pity, the assassin is not good enough, why didn't he kill the dead eunuch with a sword?A dead eunuch is really fate!

He went to Luohan's bed and sat down, picked up the teacup casually, and said lightly: "It's fine if there's nothing wrong, how can it be fine, and assassins can still come in, what are the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei doing tonight? Who is in charge of the night watch?"

Wan Zhongquan thought for a while, and was about to say his name, when suddenly Shuoyu opened the curtain and hurried in from the outside, "Your Majesty, it's too bad, Gu Shaojun was stabbed by an assassin!"

Shen Ying was startled, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground unsteadily, she immediately stood up, "What did you say?! Gu Shaojun was injured by the assassin? Didn't the assassin want to kill Guo Daban? What's going on here? "

Shuo Yu panted and said: "Back to the emperor, the assassin was going to kill Guo Daban, but thanks to Gu Shaojun risking his life to beat the assassin away, Guo Daban was safe and sound, but the assassin cut Gu Shaojun's arm, and now the imperial doctor is taking care of him in Gu Shaojun's tent." Gu Shaojun is healing the wound."

Shen Ying's chest froze suddenly when she heard the words, and her phoenix eyes closed down, "You mean, it was Gu Shaojun who gave up his life to save Guo Daban?"

Shuoyu nodded, "Go back to the emperor, yes, according to Jin Yiwei who was present at the time, Guo Daban had only Gu Shaojun by his side at that time, if it wasn't for Gu Shaojun, Guo Daban might be in danger this time."

Shen Ying took a deep breath, threw her sleeves behind her hands, and secretly clenched her fists tightly, okay, very good, very good!

Gu Junshu, you really deserve to be a good dog raised by Guo Jiuchen!Give your life to save?You are really loyal to your master!

"Come and change clothes!" Shen Ying's face was condensed, like frost and snow, "My Gu Shaojun is injured, why don't I visit him?"



When the voice of "the emperor is coming" sounded outside Gu Min's tent, the imperial doctor just finished applying medicine to the wound on Gu Min's arm and bandaged it up.

Shen Ying walked into the camp. As the hero who had just rescued Guo Jiuchen, Gu Min was undoubtedly a popular person around Guo Jiuchen. Those ministers who fawned on Guo Jiuchen came here after hearing the news, and praised Gu Min for his bravery. It's completely different from the previous attitude when he looked down on Gu Min as just an emperor's male favourite.

Guo Jiuchen was also concerned about Gu Min's injuries. He was also in Gu Min's tent at this time. He saw the emperor come in to pay his respects, and said, "Your Majesty, it was the old minister who was negligent and failed to fulfill his duty. He gave the assassin the opportunity to sneak into the camp to assassinate him. Fortunately, he did not." Hurt the emperor, please forgive me."

Shen Ying stared at Gu Min who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if in a coma, and said with a smirk: "As long as Guo Daban is fine, I can't blame you for this matter, it's because the people under him are ineffective. According to the decree, the generals of the imperial guards and Jinyiwei who are in charge of patrolling the night tonight have neglected their duties and inspected laxly. They will each be fined fifty court sticks and half a year's salary! If the assassin is not caught tonight, all officials will be demoted!"

The wrinkles on Guo Jiuchen's face moved, "Your Majesty is wise, the old minister immediately asked them to hunt down the assassin with all their might!"

Shen Ying walked towards Gu Min's bed, "How is Jun Shu?"

Guo Jiuchen said: "Going back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that luckily the assassin's sword didn't cut deep. Gu Shaojun only suffered some flesh injuries, not any bones and muscles, and it will not affect the use of his left hand in the future."

"That's good." Shen Ying turned her head and glanced at Guo Jiuchen, "I heard that it was thanks to Jun Shu's action that Guo Daban was saved from this murderous hand. It seems that Jun Shu's loyalty to Guo Daban, the factory owner, is a little bit No child is less than me."

Guo Jiuchen smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty clearly understands that hunting down the assassin is just a matter of Gu Shaojun's duty as the commander of Jin Yiwei. How can he be loyal to the veteran? Even if the assassin wants to assassinate the target is not the veteran, the veteran I think that Gu Shaojun will definitely come to the rescue. Please believe that the emperor believes that all the officials of Daying, including the veterans, are only loyal to you, the Holy One!"

"I hope it's as Guo Daban said." Shen Ying raised her hand and waved her long sleeves, "Okay, all of you step back, let Junshu take care of your wounds."

Everyone retreated and left Gu Min's tent one by one. Shen Ying asked Wan Zhongquan and the others to go out and watch outside the tent, then lifted up their clothes and sat beside Gu Min's bed.

The tent was so quiet that there was only the sound of breathing. After a while, Gu Min moved under his closed eyelids, and slowly opened his eyes. After seeing the person sitting in front of the bed clearly, he struggled to get up and salute, "Your majesty, what are you doing?" coming?"

Shen Ying pressed the person on the bed, and said coldly: "Lie down well, don't move around if you are injured."

Due to excessive blood loss, Gu Min's face was a little pale, and his lips were drained of color. A weak smile floated on his lips: "You surprised the emperor."

Shen Ying didn't speak, she sat there with her back straight, looking down at Gu Min condescendingly, after a while, she suddenly stretched out her hand to brush away the messy hair on Gu Min's forehead, and asked softly, "Gu Junshu, tell me, In your heart, who are you loyal to?"

Gu Min looked at Shen Ying's hand without hesitation, "I am loyal to you."

Shen Ying pulled her lips loosely, and gently stroked Gu Min's cheek with her fingers, "You are loyal to me, so what are you doing tonight? You dare to say that you are loyal to me even if you don't care about your own life because of Guo Jiuchen? Have you ever thought about what you want me to do if you have an emergency? Gu Junshu, where do you put me in your heart?"

Gu Min pursed her dry lips, raised her uninjured right hand to hold Shen Ying's wrist, "Your Majesty, there was an emergency at that time, and the assassin fell from the sky. I didn't have time to think about it. I just wanted to prevent the assassin from hurting anyone. The minister is guilty, and the emperor is worried for the minister, and the minister promises that he will never act impulsively again next time."

Shen Ying let Gu Min hold his wrist, and quietly asked: "If I was assassinated, would you risk your life to save me?"

Gu Min's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice, "I will never let the bad guys take advantage of this opportunity!"

Shen Ying suddenly let out a smirk, shook off Gu Min's hand vigorously, bent down to meet Gu Min's eyes, and said coolly, "Gu Jun forgive you, I will remember you, you are my friend." My young master, your life and your person belong to me! When you work for others, you better remember what you said just now, and next time, I will cut you off without anyone else doing it! Save it When you die, I will still feel sad for an unfaithful and unjust person like you!"

"Your Majesty..." Gu Min reached out to touch Shen Ying's shoulder, but Shen Ying pushed it away.

Shen Ying stood up, turned her back and said coldly: "Please reflect on what you have done tonight!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the camp without looking back.

Gu Min turned his head to look at the resolute back of the emperor when he left. When the curtain was lowered and there was no movement outside the tent, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face.

"Ah..." A man's sigh suddenly sounded in the tent, and a handsome young man in black night clothes came out from behind the innermost screen. He is tonight's assassin, the captain of the Shadow Guard of Pingyang Palace, Cang falcon.

Who would have thought that the assassin who was hunting everywhere outside would hide in the victim's camp?

Cang Falcon held the sword and walked to Gu Min's bedside, looked at him and shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, "That old man Jiang Shui even bragged to me that the emperor now spoils you like a sweetheart, I don't think so ah?"

Gu Min turned his head straight and said flatly, "You don't understand."

Cang Falcon was unconvinced, "Why don't I understand? I heard it clearly from the back just now, and they said they would kill you with their own hands."

Gu Min was too lazy to argue with Cang Falcon who didn't know what love was. Looking at the curtain above his head, Shen Ying's angry face appeared in his mind, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but a little sore.

The corner of Gu Min's mouth twitched imperceptibly, the emperor should be angry, the more angry he is, the more he proves that he cares about himself.
