Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

While letting Gu Yanshu get off the car, Qin Lu did not forget to reach out his hand to support Gu Yanshu.

Naturally, Gu Yanshu would not refuse such a considerate move by Qin Lu, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he jumped off the carriage with the strength of Qin Lu's hand.

"hiss--"

Now Gu Yanshu's physical condition can be said to affect the whole body, let alone such a violent action like jumping off the carriage.

As soon as he landed, Gu Yanshu involuntarily gasped for the pain caused by his body.

Seeing the instantly distorted expression on Gu Yanshu's face, Qin Lu asked in a low voice:

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

If it weren't for the small picture album provided by Gu Yanshu, Qin Lu would know nothing about this matter.

After all, Qin Lu went to the battlefield at the age when he should be the governor. On the battlefield, any distraction could kill a person, so naturally he would not think about these romantic things anymore.

Although the men in the army would tell some funny jokes in their spare time, Qin Lu was different from them, and no one dared to bring those messy things in front of Qin Lu.

So regarding Gu Yanshu's physical condition at this time, Qin Lu can only make some guesses from Gu Yanshu's performance.

Because of Gu Yanshu's insistence on coming to pay his respects, Qin Lu only thought that Gu Yanshu did feel a little uncomfortable, but it was not unbearable.

It's just that seeing Gu Yanshu's performance now, Qin Lu realized that Gu Yanshu's situation at this time seems to be worse than he imagined.

Gu Yanshu was afraid that Qin Lu's next sentence would be to ask for leave for him, so he shook his head without thinking about it:

"Fortunately, I didn't pay attention just now, and the movement was a little bigger."

And the phrase "I'll ask Zhi Ge to help you ask for leave" that Qin Lu was about to say, was finally swallowed because of Gu Yanshu's answer.

Even so, Qin Lu still called Zhi Ge who was standing aside, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

After hearing this, Zhi Ge turned around and walked directly behind a small door next to the palace. After a while, he walked out through the small door with a few young eunuchs carrying sedan chairs.

Afterwards, Zhi Ge walked directly in front of Gu Yanshu:

"Princess, please get on the sedan chair."

At this time, Gu Yanshu suddenly remembered that in Tianqi Kingdom, the prince and concubine did have the privilege of being able to ride in a sedan chair when entering the palace.

After realizing that this behavior was not beyond the rules, Gu Yanshu should no longer be shy, and walked towards the sedan chair.

I don't know if Qin Lu had specially ordered that even the sedan chair was covered with a layer of soft cushions.

It has to be said that Gu Yanshu was extremely useful to Qin Lu's arrangements, and even gave Qin Lu a smiling expression:

"Thank you, my lord."

Regarding this, Qin Lu just glanced at Gu Yanshu and did not speak.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Gu Yanshu was indeed a lot more relaxed, and he could even concentrate on observing Tianqi's imperial palace.

Although the Qi State did not exist in the history of China, Gu Yanshu discovered that the imperial palace of the Qi State was at least [-]% similar to the Forbidden City in the capital of China.

The same red walls and yellow tiles, even the general structure and sculptures on the walls are exactly the same.

Walking all the way, Gu Yanshu could even see the patrolling Imperial Forest Army and the little eunuchs walking on the palace road.

After about a stick of incense, the sedan chair finally stopped in front of a palace, and not far from the gate of that palace stood a gray-haired eunuch.

After Gu Yanshu got off the sedan chair, he saw the eunuch's face clearly:

It was the prince who went to the third prince's residence to announce the decree on the day he and Qin Lu got married.

As soon as Wang Gonggong saw the two of them, the fly whisk in his hand moved, and he lowered his body:

"This old slave has seen His Royal Highness Li Wang and His Royal Highness Wang Fei, and greets the two Highnesses."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite." Qin Lu respected this old man who has been serving the emperor all the time. "Why doesn't your lord serve your father in the palace?"

"It was the emperor who heard that the prince and concubine were coming soon, so he let the old slave come to welcome them. He said that when the two highnesses arrived, he would just take the two highnesses in. There is no need to communicate."

Wang Gonggong replied with a smile, then turned his body sideways, and bent over to Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu:

"Your Highness, please come with this old slave."

According to the original rules of Tianqi Kingdom, on the second day after the prince got married, the newlyweds should actually go to the central palace to greet the queen first, and then come to the emperor to thank the emperor.

Now, the reason why Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu went directly to the emperor after entering the palace is because Qin Lu's father, the current emperor of Tianqi Kingdom, is an infatuated person.

When he ascended the throne today, he directly sealed the wife who accompanied him when he was in Qiandi as the queen.

However, in the words of the people of Tianqi Kingdom, this empress was an unlucky one. She died of illness within less than a year after entering the central palace.

The reason why the emperor can be regarded as an infatuated person is because the previous empress died of illness for more than ten years, and the emperor has not established a new empress.

During the period, it was not without ministers' advice, saying that the central palace should not be left without a master for a day, so that the emperor could have another successor.

However, all these memorials were rejected by the emperor without exception.

In the end, Xu Shi was annoyed by the nagging, and the emperor simply demoted a few officials who made the most trouble, and gradually no one dared to mention this matter.

In the past two years, there have even been some courageous people discussing in private:

That is to say, the first empress did not leave any parents and children, otherwise, judging from the emperor's love for the first empress, how could the eldest prince and the third prince have anything to do with the crown prince?

As for the current affairs of the harem, it is jointly managed by the imperial concubine, the noble concubine and the concubine De.

But even if they hold the power of the harem, these three concubines are always concubines, not queens, so naturally they cannot enjoy the treatment that only queens can enjoy.

It was precisely because of this that after Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu entered the palace, they skipped the harem and came to the emperor first.

At this time, it was not long before morning.

When Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu entered the palace, the emperor was sitting at the desk looking at the memorial.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Li and Concubine Li are here." Eunuch Wang walked to a place not far from the desk and whispered.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't read the memorial in his hand. After the prince's voice fell, the emperor did not give any reaction, but continued to look at the memorial in his hand.

The emperor didn't move, so Qin Lu also stood still. Seeing this, Gu Yanshu naturally didn't speak.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Yanshu did not forget to take a look at the person sitting in front of the desk, wearing a dragon robe and holding the greatest authority in Tianqi Kingdom.

At the same time, some information about the emperor also flashed in Gu Yanshu's mind:

Today's name is Qin Yuan, and he is the eighth son of the first emperor.

Compared with the other princes of the former emperor, Qin Yuan's talent is actually not that conspicuous——

He was inferior to the second prince in writing, inferior in martial arts to the third prince, inferior in strategy and theory to the sixth prince, and even inferior to the first prince in his ability to deal with affairs.

And the current Empress Dowager, Qin Yuan's biological mother, had an average status in the harem at that time, so Qin Yuan, who was still the prince, was actually not favored by the former emperor.

When Qin Yuan was an adult, the emperor even only pointed out to him the daughter of a third-rank official as his legal wife, so it can be said that he didn't take her seriously at all.

Logically speaking, the throne would not be for a prince like Qin Yuan, who did not have world-shattering talents, his mother and concubine and himself were not favored, and he did not have a strong wife family to support him.

But for things like the throne, sometimes it depends not only on ability and reason, but also on luck.

Qin Yuan was obviously the lucky one with the best luck.

Although the first emperor had already appointed the eldest prince as the heir apparent, besides the eldest prince, there were also the second, third, and sixth princes at that time, all of whom were stunning figures with deep chests.

For the emperor to appoint a man who is inferior to him in everything, the several extremely talented princes are not convinced.

If you are dissatisfied in your heart, you will of course express it in your actions.

The behavioral expression between the princes, inability to escape is the matter of seizing the heir.

Even now, there are many people in Tianqi capital who will change their expressions when they mention the struggle of the princes to seize the heirloom.

At that time, the atmosphere in Yanjing City could be said to be extremely oppressive. Ordinary people didn't even dare to speak loudly when walking on the street, for fear of losing their lives.

From time to time, there will be upstarts rising, and at the same time, centuries-old families will decline.

But at that time, the body of the former emperor was not as good as before. Regarding the movements of the princes, they wanted to stop them but they had more than enough intentions to stand up.

At the back, the entire court was full of turmoil, and even the elders of several dynasties did not dare to say a word about the abolition of the crown prince.

However, no one thought that the fight between the snipe and the clam would eventually benefit the fisherman.

After several years of struggle for several princes, they were all wounded.

Not only the original power under his hands has been weakened a lot, but those princes themselves are also dead and crippled in the end.

The only one with sound limbs was also given the medicine to kill off his offspring and offspring.

Under such circumstances, the first emperor dragged his sick body and acted resolutely, and executed the sons of those tigers who had their teeth pulled out together with his henchmen, which was considered to be the end of this absurd seizure of the heir apparent.

Among the remaining princes, only Qin Yuan was able to take on great responsibilities even though he didn't have any outstanding points in all aspects.

It was also because of this that the first emperor passed the throne to Qin Yuan with his last breath.

Facts have proved that the first emperor and the ministers at that time were not mistaken.

During the twenty years of Qin Yuan's reign, although he didn't make any great achievements, he never made any big mistakes.

The world said that the third prince, Qin Lu, looked like his mother, but now, Gu Yanshu felt that what the world said was not entirely correct.

Although there was a distance between Qin Yuan and Qin Yuan lowering his head again, Gu Yanshu didn't see it clearly, but he could also see that Qin Lu and Qin Yuan's brows were three points alike.

Just when Gu Yanshu wanted to take a closer look, Qin Yuan had already closed the memorial and put it aside, raised his eyes to look at the two people standing in the room:

"coming?"
