It is said that I was cannon fodder

The next day, Gu Jinyu received a lot of caring greetings, mixed with true and false, and he didn't care much.

Concubine Zhen also came in person, but logically speaking, she should have gotten the news yesterday, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't come here until today.

Gu Jinyu only thought that she was determined to help Gu Mingyu, she didn't expect much, so she was not disappointed.

But Concubine Zhen didn't seem to notice his indifference, she kept asking about his health, and looked sincere, which made him a little confused.

"What exactly does Concubine Mother want to say? It's better to say it clearly." Gu Jinyu said impatiently, he didn't want to waste time with Concubine Zhen here.

Concubine Zhen's breathing was stagnant, and her face was a bit sad. She didn't want to come here yesterday, but she just got a piece of news that made her not know how to face Gu Jinyu, so she was a step too late.

"Xiao Jin, listen to my concubine's persuasion, you should feign death as soon as possible to escape, and stay away from right and wrong..."

"Why does my concubine ask me to back away again and again?" Gu Jinyu interrupted her, "Did I not understand enough last time?"

"But, but how can you beat your imperial brother?" Concubine Zhen said anxiously, "As a 'princess', you are inherently at a disadvantage."

Seeing this, Gu Jinyu's heart moved slightly. Concubine Zhen didn't have this attitude before, unless something happened out of her control during this period.

"Did Gu Mingyu intervene in yesterday's assassination?"

When he spoke suddenly, Concubine Zhen's complexion suddenly changed, her eyes dodged and she didn't dare to meet him.

Although she didn't answer, her reaction was enough to prove the truth of the matter. Gu Jinyu accepted it well, although he was also a little surprised.

Sooner or later, he and Gu Mingyu will tear each other apart, but the speed of the latter overturning the table is much faster than he expected.

He fell silent for a while, and Concubine Zhen felt worried, "Xiao Jin..."

"My concubine must have been busy cleaning up his traces yesterday," Gu Jinyu sighed, "Perhaps letting me leave is the greatest kindness my concubine has shown me?"

"No, Xiao Jin, my concubine has never thought about it like this! It's just that leaving here and starting over is your best choice. If you continue to delay, you will become the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an city when King Jing'an retires."

Hearing this, Gu Jinyu squinted her eyes slightly. It's good. It seems that the news has spread more and more widely. She secretly poked in her heart and made another account for Qi Ran. Instead, there was a smile on his face, which was extremely cold. .

"Why don't mother and concubine open the skylight and tell the truth? If I fake my death, King Jing'an won't have to take the risk of rebelling against the imperial edict to propose a divorce to the emperor. In this way, King Jing'an owes Gu Mingyu a favor, and my 'death' will be a little bit longer." After some operation, it might be possible to drag another person into the water."

"If I unfortunately died yesterday, Gu Mingyu would pour dirty water on King Jing'an. In this way, the risk of being threatened by me will be avoided, and the father will be flattered, and the second prince will be put at a disadvantage. have to."

"Based on what I know about Gu Mingyu, he doesn't have any friendship with me, and he probably won't think about me, so the former is your concubine's plan, and the latter is his. Concubine mother, am I right?"

After he finished speaking, Concubine Zhen's face turned pale, and she said after a while: "This is the imperial palace, only in this way can you two brothers be preserved."

Although Concubine Zhen was upset by Gu Jinyu's words that day, after she calmed down, she was able to weigh the pros and cons more clearly.

She is in the deep palace, fighting with others for half her life, intrigues, in order to let her son ascend the throne, it is impossible to let Gu Mingyu's future be ruined at this time, but no matter how cruel she is, she can't just sit back and watch Gu Mingyu harm Gu Jinyu .

Through all the previous events, she also knew that Gu Mingyu was really motivated to kill, so in order to protect Gu Jinyu, she could only send him away far away, so that he would have no worries for the rest of his life.

But Gu Jinyu was unwilling, and Concubine Zhen couldn't help regretting that when the children were born, she should have sent one of them away far away, so as not to cause the current situation of brothers killing each other.

Gu Jinyu could understand what Concubine Zhen did, but he didn't intend to accept it. He said calmly, "It's not what I want. Concubine Mother has already made a choice, so there's nothing more to say between you and me, Concubine Mother. Please leave."

Concubine Zhen felt a huge emptiness instead of the expected questioning and censure. Looking at Gu Jinyu's cold and calm face, she felt as if she had lost something.

……

Just when many people were expecting Qi Ran to propose to the emperor to refuse the marriage, Qi Ran himself was making serious preparations, trying to give his "princess" the best.

Chu Li stared at all this dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Qi Ran would undergo a huge change before he found a chance to find out what happened before.

"Didn't you make up your mind to refuse marriage before? What is this action now? Could it be that you have met someone you like and plan to marry her after refusing marriage?"

"No, I'm not going to refuse the marriage."

"Oh." Chu Li just nodded his head halfway, and suddenly realized what he meant, and his voice was raised several times, "What? You are not refusing marriage?!"

Qi Ran glanced at him lightly, and hummed.

Chu Li walked around the house a few times, full of doubts and unable to vent. He couldn't figure it out. Qi Ran knew it was a trap before, but he wanted to refuse the marriage. A few days ago, he tried to get the other party to marry the princess. With a face of resistance.

During this period, he glanced at Qi Ran several times, but the latter had no intention of explaining at all, so he finally couldn't help asking.

"What happened so that you suddenly changed your mind?"

Qi Ran propped her chin and thought about it seriously, then said uncertainly, "Maybe it's because of love at first sight?"

Thinking about it carefully, he has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Gu Jinyu, not because of his appearance, but something deeper, the closer he gets, the more irresistible he is.

It stands to reason that such a sinking without resistance is not in line with his character, but the thoughts deep in his heart are so deep-rooted that he can't have any bad thoughts.

So Qi Ran chose to let it go. He felt happy from the bottom of his heart about getting married to the other party, and he also had a sense of satisfaction that his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

Hearing this, Chu Li saw his unconscious smile, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You, haven't you been bewitched?"

It took a long time for Chu Li to come to such a slightly reliable conclusion, and he nodded his head on his own.

There are many weird Gu insects in southern border, some Gu insects are very powerful and can affect people's emotions, but it is difficult for the host to detect.

If Qi Ran capsized in the gutter for a while, it would be understandable for him to be plotted against.

Qi Ran blocked Chu Li's hand that wanted to feel his pulse, and the smile on his face restrained, "I don't have any problems."

Chu Li didn't force him to take his pulse either. In fact, he himself knew that the reason for "falling into a Gu" was far-fetched. His willpower was as strong as Qi Ran's, so it was impossible for him to be unaware of his own changes.

But let him believe that Qi Ran fell in love with a certain person at first sight, and even showed that sticky idiotic smile when thinking of the other person, it would be better to let him believe that the other person was "bewitched"!

But after seeing the seriousness in Qi Ran's eyes, he had to admit this fact.

Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Is it because of her that you gave up dealing with the Fourth Prince?"

Qi Ran corrected: "It's not that I gave up dealing with him, it's just that it's not the time yet, and A Jin said to keep this account for him first."

Although Gu Mingyu was involved in the assassination incident, although he was concealed, he still did not escape Qi Ran's investigation. Although the evidence was wiped out, why does he need evidence if he wants to deal with one person?

Moreover, Gu Mingyu's way of killing Gu Jinyu made him very angry, because he was worried that Gu Jinyu still had feelings for his brother, so he didn't hide this matter from Gu Jinyu.

And Gu Jinyu knew that Concubine Zhen had been prepared for a long time, so naturally she didn't intend to run into it head-on, and this matter could be big or small under the influence of caring people, he didn't want to be implicated by Gu Mingyu, and as for selfishness, he was not in a hurry.

Qi Ran naturally obeyed his thoughts. Since admitting the thoughts in his heart, he seemed to have no bottom line in front of Gu Jinyu, letting him get whatever he wanted.

Chu Li couldn't adapt, and no one could stop the shock in his heart when he saw Wuxin turn into soft fingers in just a few days.

Seemingly realizing Chu Li's unbelievability, Qi Ran calmed down slightly, that gentle emotion disappeared like the moon in the water in the mirror.

But Chu Li knew that Qi Ran was indeed different from before, and he was a little more curious about the princess he had never met before.
