the other side.

Not long after Changxin went out through the window, he met the old general who came to plead guilty on the road.

She paused, and seeing that people had noticed her, she stepped out of the shadows and saluted respectfully: "My servant has seen the old general."

The general was taken aback when he saw the person, he looked at Chang Xin under the shadow, and the image of the old lady appeared in his mind.

For so many years, Mrs. Gu has been sending things to the palace every month. As time goes by, General Gu naturally discovered the existence of Changxin.

He also knew that Changxin was his daughter.

Therefore, Madam has not had the courage to tell him so far, and he does not know how to confess that he already knows.

When the old wife didn't know, he had come to ask Changxin and wanted to take her home, but Changxin was firm every time.

"If the old general is here to recognize your slaves, then please come back."

So the general sighed. He looked at Chang Xin and said, "I came today—to explain to the emperor. I misunderstood what happened this afternoon."

Chang Xin raised her eyes, her expression became angrily: "What is there to misunderstand? It's not that there is a marriage contract, and you have proof, how can this be misunderstood?"

So the general pursed his lower lip: "It's my fault. I haven't gone to ask for proof. Please take me in to meet the emperor and tell him the explanation."

Looking at him suspiciously.

Today Luo Chen was already irritated, he had a cub in his stomach, and he should have taken care of the fetus, but they were angry at him.

Now you know you made it up?

Is it late?

Changxin was angry: "The emperor doesn't want to see you, what's the matter, we can talk about it tomorrow!"

After Changxin finished speaking, he was about to go back. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to warn him: "Don't let Gu Xingzhi approach the emperor again, or I won't have eyes for a sword!"

General Gu was taken aback, Gu Xingzhi was faster than him, he should already be in the palace at this moment, Changxin didn't come out after seeing him, that means the two never met, so Xingzhi might have seen the emperor already.

But if Chang Xin goes back and sees Gu Xingzhi, Chang Xin will definitely kill him.

So the general decided to procrastinate.

He called Chang Xin to stop, and then he remembered something: "Chang Xin, what happened when the Emperor went to Tianxi Tower that day?"

Chang Xin frowned: "Why are you asking this?"

So the general said: "Changxin, the late emperor sent you a few secret guards to guard the emperor, but you neglected your duties and caused the emperor to be taken into Tianxi Tower. Even if you were not on duty that day, what about the others?"

Changxin was at a loss: "Go to Tianxi Tower, what's the matter?"

So General: "..."

The bottom of his eyes sank: "Long heart! Isn't it your duty to protect the emperor? Didn't you say that you want to protect the emperor violently and prevent anyone from getting close? On that day, in Tianxi Tower, the emperor and Xingzhi... You haven't found the problem yet?"

Changxin's dazed eyes gradually sobered up. Right after this happened, it was shelved repeatedly because of a series of accidents. Later, it was found out that Prince Qin had done it, so he put King Qin under house arrest based on Zhao Xiancheng's incident.

As for Chang Xin, because Luo Shi tolerated it, he was not punished too much, but the other hidden guards in the palace were checked one by one, and it has not ended yet.

but……

"What happened that day, the order I got was not to go." Chang Xin didn't understand, so she just obeyed the order, "Master told me, as long as I escorted secretly to protect the safety of the emperor."

So the general was taken aback: "Then...why...didn't you tell the emperor about this?"

Chang Xin: "The Emperor didn't ask."

So General: "..."

He held his forehead, thought carefully, and after a while, he figured it out.

"Is this... the late emperor asked you to do it?"

"Ah."

So the general took a deep breath: "Who else was there at that time. Chang'an also helped?"

"Chang'an only found out later, the day he went to dispose of the corpse."

After all, the eunuch is an acquaintance, but it's been a long time since I saw him, but Luo Chen has a vague impression of him, so naturally he is not too defensive. The former emperor knew that the people around Luo Chen could not do such a thing, so he made a deal with him.

With him alone, all the family members of Bao Leng Palace.

Therefore, the general's voice trembled: "So, the former emperor and even the emperor designed it?"

In order to make Gu Xingzhi follow Luo Chen wholeheartedly, he even designed his own son into it.

No wonder that when the first emperor chose the address outside the palace, he asked the old general to do it, and asked him to be as close as possible to the old residence.

He is obviously picking the future marriage of the two of them!

So the general got angry for a while, it's not that he didn't understand what the late emperor said, but understanding doesn't mean accepting, besides, there is always a contingency.

What if the old man doesn't like the emperor, and the emperor doesn't like the old man?

What if something went wrong in the middle of this, and the two never saw each other?

"Nonsense!" General Gu was angry, but the former emperor had already been buried in the ground, no matter how much he wanted to explain it, he could only get angry.

He let out a foul breath, trying to calm down his emotions: "Then, these emperors still don't know about it?"

Chang Xin frowned, staring at him vigilantly: "You want to tell the emperor?"

If it is said, Luo Chen will be more or less cold because of her actions, and if it is serious, it may be pulled down and chopped.

However, Changxin is the blood of the old family, so it is impossible for the old family to see that Changxin does not save him, and Luo Shi cannot touch the old family. In this way, Changxin's life is saved again.

How long-term will be in the future is a matter for the old family to consider. The previous emperor's calculations have made the old Xingzhi and Luo Shi inseparable, and the royal family and the old family are inseparable.

Therefore, the general felt chilled by the former emperor's scheme, he looked at Chang Xin: "Even so, do you still want to follow Luo Chen?"

Chang Xin disagrees: "They saved my life."

She looked at the old general: "You don't want to rebel, do you?"

So the general said seriously: "That's impossible."

After all, he and the former emperor had long-term friendship as a monarch and his ministers, so his family had engraved their allegiance into their bones, even so, they couldn't commit rebellion.

The first emperor understood, so he boldly "borrowed" his old ways and long-term heart.

If Gu Xingzhi hadn't fallen in love with Luo Chen, he could have brought someone to resign and go home to rebel against the late emperor's move.

But Xingzhi fell in love with him, and was still deeply involved in it.

Therefore, the general watched Luo Chen grow up since he was a child, and Luo Chen was not at all wrong in this matter, he was a complete victim, and he couldn't bear to see Luo Chen being excluded because of the former emperor.

The first emperor calculated their future and their hearts.

So the general raised his head and looked at the person: "Changxin, after this matter is over, you should come back."

He was really afraid of the first emperor, afraid that he would give Chang Xin some orders, making Chang Xin jump into the fire pit again and again.

Changxin shook his head and refused.

So the general thought it was because of what happened back then, and just wanted to persuade him again, but he heard Changxin say: "I want to take care of the emperor and prince, so I have no time to talk to you."

Therefore, the general's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, and he lost his voice for a moment: "What...what?"

==

On the other side, the cold wind blows.

Therefore, Xingzhi is still kneeling.

The cold stone slab was already warmed by his kneeling, there was occasional movement in the room, and the candle lights came back on. He saw Chang An running around, followed by a group of young eunuchs, but no one gave him a look.

So Xingzhi closed his eyes, thinking that he deserved it, and he deserved today if he failed to resolve these matters early.

But seeing Chang An running back and forth with a flustered expression, his desire to see Luo Chen began to float again.

Chang'an went back and forth between the imperial dining room and the bedroom for more than five times, and was so anxious that he yelled at people halfway: "Why did things disappear? There is nothing left in other palaces?"

The little eunuch trembled in fright, and said in a low voice: "Yes, it's King Ping... He said that seeing the emperor loves plums so much, he asked for some."

Chang An's face was sullen: "I asked for some to taste, what about the rest?"

"Back, back to Eunuch Chang'an, King Ping said that the plums are not pure, and ordered the imperial dining room to throw away all the plums and make them again. The new batch has not been made yet..."

Chang An panicked: "Do it all over again? There is nothing left?"

"Go back, go back to Eunuch Chang'an, the warehouse that King Ping personally turned over, we, we dare not hide it."

Chang An clenched his fists angrily.

The little eunuch suggested in a weak voice: "Master, Mr. Chang'an, how about...going out of the palace to buy some?"

Chang An glanced at him: "At this point, how can anyone sell it outside the palace?"

The little eunuch trembled from being scolded, and was about to cry.

At this time, Gu Xingzhi walked over: "Chang'an, does the emperor want to eat Huamei?"

Seeing someone approaching, Chang An became even more dissatisfied: "This has nothing to do with Mr. Gu, does it?"

As the saying goes: "It's too late to buy Huamei. Does the emperor want to eat Huamei or sour ones?"

Chang An was taken aback, and he stared at Gu Xingzhi vigilantly: "My lord...you know everything?"

So Xingzhi was stunned: "What?"

Seeing his reaction, Changan shook his head: "It's nothing, so what's your suggestion?"

"Lend me the kitchen." So Xingzhi turned and walked to the kitchen.

Chang An hurriedly followed, originally intending to stop him, but Xingzhi directly said: "If it's the latter, then I will do something, if it's the former, then I can't help it."

As Xingzhi said, he also realized that Luo Chen seems to like eating sour things recently?

Chang'an said: "So it's good for your lord to tell the chef directly what to do. This kind of thing should be left to professional people."

So Xingzhi paused and stared at Chang'an.

Chang An hesitated inexplicably.

Then he listened to the old way: "If I let you do it, how can I ask the emperor to forgive me?"

He straddled his legs, entered the house, and locked the door by the way, successfully locking the person out of the house.

Chang An scratched the door angrily.

Inside the house, the chef looked at Gu Xingzhi in shock.

So Xingzhi was also stunned.

Afterwards, as the door opened and closed, there was another person outside the door to accompany Chang An to scratch the door.

After a while, Gu Xingzhi opened the door and came out, and the two people at the door stood up abruptly.

Chang An showed vigilance: "My lord!"

The cook glanced at the dish in his hand, and clicked his tongue: "Sour radish, I tried this little one, but it didn't work."

So Xingzhi handed over the spoon: "Taste it."

The cook was taken aback and glanced at Chang An. Chang An nodded hesitantly, then he took the spoon and stuffed one into his mouth.

His face suddenly wrinkled like fireworks.

Chang An looked at it and was startled: "Master, what have you done!"

"Eunuch Chang'an, you can try it too."

Therefore, I handed over the prepared second spoon.

Chang An took it suspiciously, and ate one too, so sour that he couldn't speak.

He squatted on the ground, tears falling one by one.

Gu Xingzhi's question came from above his head: "Are you two okay?"

Chang An reluctantly said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"It doesn't seem to be poisonous." So Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief and strode away immediately.

Chang'an: "..."

He hurried to follow, but he never thought that he would collide with the cook who was dizzy from the sourness. The cook groaned and complained: "This is so sour! So did you beat me to death for selling vinegar? So jealous!"

Chang An glanced at him, hurriedly got up to chase, paused before leaving, and asked him: "Is this all right?"

"..." The cook wanted to cry, but sat down on the ground, "It will make the emperor so angry that I will cut off my head!"

Chang'an: "..."

He was relieved.

He walked over slowly.

inside the house.

Hearing the movement at the door, Luo Chen picked up the tea cup and rinsed his mouth with cold water.

He vomited uncomfortably, and his voice was hoarse: "Put the things on the table and go out."

Footsteps were heard behind him, and a moment later, the door was closed.

Luo Chen got up from the mat, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Gu Xingzhi kneeling towards him.

He stared blankly at Gu Xingzhi, his heart beat so fast suddenly, he thought he was hallucinating, so he swallowed the question he was about to say, turned around and walked towards the table.

Gu Xing's heart ached severely, he raised his head, and shouted in a low voice: "Ash."

Luo Chen's movements froze, he took a deep breath, glanced at the disheveled Gu Xingzhi out of the corner of his eyes, and said coldly: "You don't go back to prepare for the marriage, what are you doing here?"

The words were cold, and he tried to look indifferent, but the trembling fingertips still betrayed him.

At the end of his speech, his breath became unsteady: "Break into my bedroom at night, what should I do?"

So Xingzhi hastily explained: "My father misunderstood, the marriage contract was about the succession ceremony, he didn't know that person was you, and thought I was eating at both ends, which hindered us, I... really didn't engagement."

He hurriedly stood up: "Ash, apart from you, I don't have anyone else I like."

"Who knows, I'm so busy in the palace, I can still have a marriage contract." Luo Chen was so angry that he couldn't believe his nonsense. When he saw someone get up, he immediately took two steps back, looking as if he wanted to make a clean break.

Gu Xingzhi opened his mouth and lowered his eyes: "Twelve hours a day, five hours to rest, the rest, isn't it all by your side?"

He said softly, "Ash, if you don't come, who will I marry?"

Luo Chen's heart moved slightly. Before he went to find Luo Ming for half a month, he lived in the palace, how could he have the opportunity to find someone else, and during that half month, Qin Feng was also watching, knowing that he had never traveled all the way. stop.

However, the marriage contract is just an excuse, the real reason is——

So Xingzhi guessed his worries, and immediately said: "My father has nothing against Longyang."

Luo Chen stared blankly at the man.

So Xingzhi met his eyes and said solemnly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can directly accept his ministers and enter the palace."

Luo Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at the person in disbelief: "What are you... talking about?"

"Please, Your Majesty, Nachen enters the palace." So Xingzhi spoke a little louder.

Luo Chen pursed his lower lip: "Are you... just kidding?"

How could someone be willing to abandon their great future and enter the palace as a male concubine?

He tried to ask: "So, did you get beaten up by the old general?"

So Xingzhi smiled: "If you are stupid, does the emperor still want me?"

Luo Chen was blinded by that smile, his heart softened suddenly, he quickly looked away: "No!"

So Xingzhi's smile faltered, and the line of his lips slowly evened out: "...Oh."

Luo Chen couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of his eye, but saw him bowing his head and face, like an abandoned dog, he quickly put down all his thoughts, walked to the table and sat down: "You should go back, today It’s like it never happened.”

He lowered his eyes and covered the panic on his face with food.

So Xingzhi refused to leave no matter what: "Your Majesty, I don't want to leave."

Luo Chen reprimanded: "That's why, don't go too far!"

Therefore, Xingzhi had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "If the emperor doesn't like the minister, he will push the minister away as a shelf, and if he wants the minister, he will call the minister, and the minister will not leave."

Luo Chen frowned: "When will I want you to stay close?"

"It's the minister who plotted against the law." So Xingzhi looked at his side face, "When the emperor loses his temper and is willing to accept the minister into the palace, then the minister can rest assured."

Luo Chen simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, stared at the person for a while: "Do you really want to enter the harem?"

The way to do it: "No."

Luo Zhen thought that sure enough, he sneered, and was about to speak, so he said again: "It is the minister who wants to be with the emperor all the time."

He stopped with a smile.

"As I did..."

"Your Majesty, this matter is my fault. I admit that I will definitely handle everything well, but please don't give up on me, Your Majesty."

The way of doing it: "Those who have a marriage contract with a minister, from the beginning to the end, the emperor is alone."

The corner of Luo Chen's lips twitched.

He suddenly discovered that feelings are really domineering.

He was so angry that his heart ached during the day, but his heart softened because of his one or two promises at night.

It's not that he doesn't believe in it, he just doesn't believe in others.

"This matter, I..."

Halfway through the conversation, a notification came from outside the door, saying that it was the general who asked to see him.

Luo Chen froze for a moment, then looked at Gu Xingzhi.

The old way: "If the emperor is still worried, he can confront him face to face."

Luo Chen recalled the scene during the day, pursed his lips, and then the window was opened, Changxin turned into the room, and saw that the old man was there, he was stunned for a while.

"I did it because of it?" Changxin looked at Luo Chen, and then at Luo Chen, then walked to Luo Chen's side, "Your majesty, do you want this servant to cut him off?"

She waited and waited, waited and waited, hoping that Luo Chen would nod her head.

But Luo Chen finally refused: "Long heart, go back and stay."

Staring at Gu Xingzhi with dissatisfaction, he walked to the side silently.

Only then did Luo Chen let people in.

Therefore, when the general entered the room, he saw Gu Xing standing next to Luo Chen with a face about to be abandoned, and his heart trembled: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

He knelt down on the ground, and said the same words as the old Xingzhi: "Today, I have misunderstood Xingzhi, and I am here to plead guilty and ask the emperor to punish me!"

Luo Chen looked at the man, his face moved slightly: "So general, you only persuaded me to let go this afternoon, are you here to persuade me to reconcile with him?"

So the general lowered his head, thinking that he has been on the battlefield for decades, but he did not expect that when he was old, he would do such a crazy and muddled thing, which beat the mandarin duck and affected his grandson.

He had no face to look at Luo Chen again: "Chen, don't dare."

Luo Chen glanced at the man: "Gufu, is there really no engagement?"

Therefore, the general hesitated for a while, he slowly raised his head, looked at Luo Chen, the hope slipped from his eyes, and then said: "There is no engagement."

Luo Zhen laughed angrily: "So general, just now, your son said that he wants to enter the palace and become a male concubine, what do you think?"

General Gu was stunned for a moment, he raised his head to look at Gu Xingzhi, but he saw that Gu Xingzhi's eyes were full of Luo Chen, since he entered the room just now, this person's eyes had not fallen on him.

It seems to be deeply emotional, even if the old general wants to break this relationship, it is absolutely impossible.

Seeing that he was silent, Luo Zhen looked at Gu Xingzhi with a cold face, and he really thought so, so the general had no suspicion against him before, but it didn't mean that he really didn't mind.

He suppressed his expression and didn't bother to ask any more questions. He was just about to open his mouth to drive people away, when the old general asked, "Excuse me, when will this be brought into the harem? Minister, what preparations do we need to make?"

Luo Chen: "..."

He looked at the person in shock: "So general, you..."

seriously?

So the general nodded.

He had just thought about it, he would do such a foolish thing when he was old, of course he could remedy it if he could, and the two were in love with each other, one was his son, the other was the one he watched grow up, let him choose One, he couldn't choose.

Furthermore, this was suggested by Gu Xingzhi, which showed that he was ready and just waited for Luo Chen to speak.

When the two get married and Luo Chen has a big belly, he can ask the old man to take charge of the government. When he gives birth, he can also retreat to take care of the children outside the banquet.

This is still the emperor's will, he wants such a son-in-law, is there any reason for him to refuse?

No matter which aspect, he can only agree.

As for face...

When someone is old, what face do they want, what they want is a grandson!

So the general nodded his head twice again deeply: "Your Majesty, is the daughter you sent today considered a betrothal gift?"

Luo Chen: "..."

He was confused by the question.

It took a long time before Luo Chen came back to his senses. He pressed his forehead and asked someone to throw them out.

The two were kicked out together.

Chang'an closed the door, looked at the backs of the two, and sighed: "The emperor is still angry, so don't bother the emperor. If there is something to do, we will talk about it tomorrow."

So the general thought about it, and said: "Then Chang'an Gonggong, if the emperor has something to announce to me, you should report it in time."

Chang An nodded.

General Gu turned to leave, when Chang An shouted, "My lord, why don't you go back with me?"

So the general paused, turned his head to look at Gu Xingzhi, and saw that he was still standing at the door without saying a word, still looking at Luo Chen's door, with a worried expression on his face.

Chang'an seemed to want to step forward to persuade him to leave, so the general quickly said, "Let him stay."

Chang'an frowned: "Didn't the slave just say that the emperor is angry, you can come tomorrow, why don't you stay here and get sick later, and make the emperor worry, who is the one who suffers?"

So the general pressed his eyebrows and felt that what he said was the same: "Then Chang'an father-in-law, please find him a temporary residence."

Chang'an: "?"

He frowned and looked at the old general: "The general means—"

"Before he gets married, let him learn how to serve him."

Chang'an: "..."

crazy?

His thin lips moved, and he said with difficulty: "The matter of marriage...shang, still needs to be discussed, my lord...don't be too confident."

You played tricks on Luo Chen today, and you still want him to marry you?

Dream on these two...

General Gu nodded when he heard the words, and then walked to Gu Xingzhi's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Son..."

Therefore, Xingzhi's hands hanging in his sleeves tightened tightly. Seeing Luo Chen was so angry, he also knew that there was little hope for this matter.

But he was unwilling to let go.

"Father, if you want to persuade me, then you don't have to."

So the general shook his head and patted him on the shoulder twice: "Son, you must catch him!"

Chang'an: "..."

Therefore: "..."

So the general dusted off the dust on his shoulders by the way: "Tomorrow, father will send someone to bring the luggage in. Next time you go home, remember to bring the emperor with you."

So the general went back after finishing speaking, only Gu Xingzhi and Chang'an looked at each other and were silent.

Why does he feel... the general is more anxious than he is about getting married?

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Luo Shi didn't say anything about Gu Xingzhi. If Gu Xingzhi was really called to stand outside, Changan knew that Luo Zhen would be worried, so he could only sigh and make arrangements for Gu Xingzhi a humble room.

"My lord, let's deal with it for a night here."

Thank you for doing the right thing, and walk into the house.

This room is for the palace people to take a nap, there are not many things in it, and there is only one quilt on the bed.

So Xingzhi lit a candle, looked at the candlelight, and still couldn't let go of his heart.

He walked to the door and was about to open it to find Luo Chen when he suddenly heard movement not far from the door.

"Is this the medicine he drinks every day?"

"Okay, go back and keep watching."
