It is said that I was cannon fodder

"Get out of the way!" Gu Mingyu roughly pushed Xiangyang who was blocking the way, and directly broke into Gu Jinyu's palace.

"You all back down and watch outside." Gu Jinyu glanced lightly at the slightly embarrassed Xiangyang, and waved them away.

Gu Mingyu's tumbling mood calmed down a bit, but when he saw Gu Jinyu calmly picking up a piece of pastry and putting it in his mouth without paying him any attention, his emotions exploded again.

"What do you mean? Do you know that you almost killed me because you sued the emperor?!"

Gu Jinyu sneered, "Being grounded for half a month will kill you? Then what is your behavior of pushing me into the fire pit?"

A guilty conscience flashed in Gu Mingyu's eyes, and he pretended to be tough and said: "What fire pit? Who did you listen to? You also know your identity, and marrying King Jing'an is your best return..."

"King Jing'an is awake." Gu Jinyu said these words lightly, and successfully shut Gu Mingyu's mouth. He opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief.

After a long while, he vetoed: "It's impossible! The envoy of Zhongyuan personally diagnosed it, and King Jing'an will never wake up!"

Gu Jinyu looked at him with a half-smile, "King Jing'an woke up yesterday, and the people under your command may not have found out, but you seem to be in a hurry to go to the palace to trouble me, and you even missed the news."

Hearing this, Gu Mingyu's face turned green and then pale. Just when he was about to say something, Gu Jinyu said first: "I don't want to argue with you, and I can't fake this kind of news. You will know when you leave the palace." , what I want to know now is, when will you be able to fulfill your promise?"

"What promise?"

"About side concubine Meng, you haven't completely forgotten about it, have you?"

Gu Mingyu said with disbelief on his face: "You have asked Father to punish me, you..."

"One yard is one yard, and this is not included in the price." Gu Jinyu showed a strange smile, "Of course, you can break the contract, so I can't guarantee what impression King Jing'an will have of you."

"You threaten me?!"

"Whatever you think, there is still half a month, I want to see the result."

Gu Mingyu took a deep breath, tried to suppress his anger, and said softly: "Xiao Jin, we are brothers, and if you harm me, you are harming yourself? Since ancient times, royal disputes have not tolerated dissidents, and only our brothers can work together to break through. A broad road comes."

"It's a good one who can't tolerate dissidents, so that's why you attacked me." Gu Jinyu clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed it on his open left hand, with a sudden understanding on his face.

"Xiao Jin, we are born of the same mother, how could I harm you? Don't be deceived by outsiders." Gu Mingyu still thinks that someone has provoked the relationship between them, so he is still trying to persuade him to believe in himself.

Gu Jinyu stared at him, until his gaze kept dodging, and then said calmly: "It's okay not to leave Concubine Meng, but you can find a way to help me cancel my marriage with King Jing'an."

Gu Mingyu looked embarrassed, "This... After all, this is the order of the emperor himself, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Gu Jinyu's face turned cold, "I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do that. You let me take risks and benefit you, but you don't want to pay anything, heh!"

When Gu Mingyu heard this laughter, embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes, but he also knew that Gu Jinyu must not be rushed at this time, so he said: "I didn't think so, don't worry, I will deal with Meng Yun when I go back, and I will definitely let you go." You are satisfied."

"I'll wait and see."

Looking at the smile on Gu Jinyu's face, Gu Mingyu always felt that the other party was mocking him, and he was holding a breath in his heart.

After confirming that the person was gone, Gu Jinyu let out a chuckle, which was full of sarcasm.

"Did you hear that? This is the good son you have high hopes for."

"Xiao Jin..." Concubine Zhen didn't know what to say after calling out these two words.

She came out from the inner room. It turned out that she was one step ahead of Gu Mingyu, but after hearing Gu Mingyu's movement, she hid in the inner room at Gu Jinyu's request and listened to the whole process.

At this moment, she couldn't say a single word of defense for Ming Yu. Facing the changes that may be brought about by King Jing'an's waking up, Ming Yu's first thought was not how to arrange his siblings with his compatriots, but cared about his own side. concubine.

The most important thing is that he has no intention of retreating for his compatriots at all. As Xiao Jin said, Ming Yu only thinks about himself, and he can't hide his guilty conscience.

Concubine Zhen was at a loss and disappointed. In the past, although the two brothers were not as close as one person, they had a harmonious relationship. When did Ming Yu become like this?

After a long silence, Concubine Zhen finally said: "Xiao Jin, you can leave in a few days and live the life of ordinary people, and Concubine Mother will make arrangements for you."

"leave?"

"Yes, leave Chang'an City by feigning death. Although the envoy of the Bell Court almost sentenced King Jing'an to death, the concubine mother is still afraid of something unexpected, so she has been making preparations. Although it is a bit hasty now, the concubine mother can still guarantee to protect you Get out safely."

Although Concubine Zhen also acquiesced in letting Gu Jinyu marry King Jing'an, she still felt sorry for her son and had already figured out a way out for him. Perhaps it would be a good thing for him to feign death and leave the dispute over the heir apparent. There is no need to pretend to be a woman and live in fear.

"Is the mother concubine joking? Gu Mingyu wants to put me to death, but I just let him go without doing anything?"

"Xiao Jin, what do you want to do?" Concubine Zhen looked at Gu Jinyu with a serious face, and suddenly felt that not only had she never understood Gu Mingyu, nor had she seen through Gu Jinyu.

"Of course it is to make him pay the price."

"Xiao Jin, you are brothers!"

"Then mother, go ask, when Gu Mingyu framed and used me, did you ever think that I was his brother?"

Gu Jinyu's eyes were cold, and before Concubine Zhen spoke, she said: "Or is it that Concubine Mother's heart is partial? When we were both born, Concubine Mother chose Gu Mingyu, but now Concubine Mother still wants to abandon me to protect him ?”

Concubine Zhen took a step back from his cold eyes, her heart ached, "No, Xiao Jin, Concubine Mother never thought of giving up on you!"

"Then mother concubine let go, this is a matter between me and him, I don't ask mother concubine to help me, I just ask mother concubine to stand by and do nothing."

Concubine Zhen was a little anxious, "Xiao Jin, the battle of the royal family is not that simple. The fight between the two of you brothers will only give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Gu Jinyu shook his head in disappointment, "Mother, don't you understand? From the day Gu Mingyu started killing me, he is my enemy. Even because of our relationship, he is more hateful than other princes." , I will never let him go."

Concubine Zhen heard his decision, her face turned pale, she opened and closed her mouth several times, but no sound came out.

Gu Jinyu didn't speak again, he would remind her with words, just to see how sincere Concubine Zhen was to the original owner.

Although under Gu Mingyu's partial persecution, she also took advantage of the original owner, but in the end she arranged a retreat for the original owner, although this retreat did not come in handy under Gu Mingyu's cruelty.

Now the person being used has become him, if Concubine Zhen really wants to help Gu Mingyu, then he will not hold back.

Concubine Zhen was in a mess, she couldn't understand why things turned out like this, Xiao Jin made it very clear that there was no room for change between the two brothers.

The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, she is reluctant to part with any of them, but if she wants to keep Ming Yu, she has to get rid of Xiao Jin, she is ashamed of Xiao Jin, not to mention she knows very well that Xiao Jin was very innocent at the beginning, it was Ming Yu disregarded the brotherhood and started to harm others first.

But to keep Xiao Jin, what should she do?King Jing'an is already awake, she is not sure that she will still conceal Xiao Jin's identity after marrying into the palace, and it is impossible for the emperor to withdraw his will now.

And Xiaojin is not willing to feign death to stay away from disputes, so how to ensure that he will not be harmed?

……

Lanxi Palace.

"You said Concubine Zhen left Jingyang Palace in a daze?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Although the concubine Zhen tried her best to hide it, she looked much haggard when she left. Moreover, when the concubine Zhen was talking with Princess Ninghua, the fourth prince came, but it didn't take long. The face left, and after a while, Concubine Zhen left Jingyang Palace."

"Okay, you step back." Lan Fei said, winking at the maid beside her, who then took out a silver coin and put it in the maid's palm, the maid's eyes lit up, and she left wisely .

"Mingyou, what do you think?" Lan Fei looked at the young man sitting beside her.

"It seems that after I told Ninghua the secret of King Jing'an, she became a little impatient. It is not wise to confront Gu Mingyu too eagerly. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the three of them deliberately staged a show for us."

Concubine Lan nodded, "Even if they really fell out, we must prevent them from wooing Ninghua again. After all, they are brothers and sisters of the same mother, so they have natural advantages."

Gu Mingyou smiled, "Mother, don't worry, unless Ninghua is useful, Gu Mingyu won't be able to put down his dignity to make peace with Ninghua."

"what do you mean?"

"King Jing'an won't marry someone he doesn't love."

Concubine Lan was a little surprised and said, "Could it be that he wants to resist the edict?"

"Who knows? King Jing'an cannot be persecuted by force, otherwise he wouldn't..."

"Be careful!" Lan Fei didn't let him continue, even if she was sure there were no spies here, it was best not to mention things that couldn't be mentioned.

"Mother and concubine reminded me." Gu Mingyou said slightly apologetically, "In short, as long as King Jing'an regrets his marriage, the rift between Ninghua and Gu Mingyu will only grow, and we can use Ninghua to completely bring down the marriage. Gu Mingyu."

"What if King Jing'an didn't regret the marriage?"

Gu Mingyou wanted to say that this was absolutely impossible, but when he saw Concubine Lan's serious expression, he knew that she was reminding him to think carefully about everything, so he replied: "Even so, it's okay, Ninghua can't control King Jing'an, can't Bringing benefits to Gu Mingyu, if King Jing'an feels pity for Ninghua for the first time, it will only make Gu Mingyu's situation worse."

Concubine Lan nodded approvingly, if Ninghua was blinded by family affection, King Jing'an, an outsider, would not fail to understand.

"You can also win over Ninghua appropriately, and plan ahead. Remember, never underestimate any chess piece."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching, concubine mother." Gu Mingyou replied very humbly.

Seeing this, Concubine Lan was both satisfied and regretful. Gu Mingyou's biological mother was just a promise, and her status was low. She was raised under her knees when she was eight years old. There was more than respect between them, but not enough intimacy. Was it not born in her belly? of.

Regrets are regrets, but Concubine Lan knows very well that Gu Mingyou is the only one she can rely on in the palace, so she considers him wholeheartedly.
