After the rebirth, I became the darling of the tyrant

Xiao Tingshen was taken aback for a moment, and then he was furious: "What!? How dare she—!?"

His face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his appearance was really terrifying.After a while, he suddenly kicked over a chair beside him, then jumped up violently and turned around in the yard twice.

His first reaction was, I'm going to tear down the Shoukang Palace and cut her off directly. I don't care if I am filial or not filial. My reputation is not good at all.

But then he saw Gu Chen who was sitting quietly, with his long eyelashes drooping, and a trace of imperceptible fatigue appeared between his brows. Obviously, this incident also took a lot of his mind.Xiao Tingshen calmed down suddenly, and the burning anger instantly froze into ice in his chest, sinking heavily into his stomach.

He thought he couldn't be so impulsive.Gu Chen had gone to great lengths to restore his reputation, and after all the good words, he could still vividly remember the fine print in the Inner Court Secret Paper. He couldn't just ruin all of Gu Chen's efforts so easily.

And it was obvious that Gu Chen's mood was not right.

According to his understanding of Gu Chen, Gu Chen should have returned to Oasis Palace immediately after learning the news, and discussed with him how to deal with this matter.But look at Gu Chen's reaction afterwards - he returned to Gu's mansion after leaving Shoukang Palace, and stayed in Gu's mansion for a whole afternoon. If Xiao Tingshen hadn't come to look for him, he didn't even intend to go back to Ganquan Palace.

……why?

Xiao Ting stared deeply at Gu Chen, thinking, why didn't Gu Chen return to Ganquan Palace?What he did was almost...as if he was hiding from him.

Did Gu Chen not want to see him, or...afraid to see him?If the latter, then what is he afraid of?

Xiao Tingshen lifted the chair and sat down beside Gu Chen.Gu Chen seemed a little surprised, and turned his head to glance at him.Xiao Ting thought for a while, and opened his mouth with a declarative sentence.Biquge website m. biqiudu. com

"Yun Ting, you are afraid."

Gu Chen raised his eyes almost instantly, and then quickly looked away after a surprised glance.He frowned slightly, and a complex look flashed across his eyes: "I didn't."

Xiao Tingshen knew his temperament. He was a typical soft-bodied and not hard-working man. The more he was forced, the more he kept the matter in his heart. He softened his attitude immediately and said in a low voice: "Yun Ting, I'm having a nightmare During the day, I told you everything I have thought in my heart." He paused, and sighed slightly: "I have made up my mind, I will not hide anything from you again."

"...Even if you laugh at me and feel that I am weak, I will never hide it from you."

So if you have something to say, tell me, okay?

Perhaps because he heard Xiao Tingshen's implication, Gu Chen lowered his head slightly, and asked softly after a long while: "Will Your Majesty agree to the Empress Dowager's finger marriage?"

Xiao Ting didn't even think about this question, and simply replied neatly: "No."

"Why?" Gu Chen looked at him seriously, "Although His Majesty is now dealing with the royal party's forces, on the surface, he and his empress are still mother and son after all, and it has not yet come to the time when they will turn against each other."

"Are you trying to persuade me to marry your sister?" Xiao Tingshen raised one eyebrow, looked at Gu Chen for a while, and suddenly realized what he was afraid of, and the expression on his face suddenly collapsed: "Do you think I will marry you?" Marry your sister for a temporary convenience?"

Gu Chen didn't speak, but the look in his eyes was obviously acquiescing.

Xiao Tingshen was angry and funny for a while, and he didn't even know whether he should be angry or feel distressed.He was angry that Gu Chen had so little confidence in him, and wanted to laugh at him for clearly being a person, why did he get into a corner in this matter, and couldn't get around this corner for the first time?

But when he thought of this, Xiao Tingshen felt a little more distressed - it was because Gu Chen put his mind on him that he couldn't see it clearly, and he was so entangled.

He is actually indifferent in his bones, and only Gu Chen is the person he cares about most besides his mother.Before, Gu Chen was indifferent to him like a passer-by, but now Gu Chen cares about him so much, how could he be unhappy?So in addition to being good-tempered and funny, I added a bit of joy.

"I will not marry your sister." Xiao Tingshen spoke in such a peaceful tone for the first time, "One reason is enough."

"what?"

"It's not her that I like." Xiao Tingshen turned the phrase "I like you" in his heart, but thinking of Gu Chen's thin-skinned, he finally gave up, and only stretched out his hand to gently hold his hand, and said soothingly , "If I marry her, she will be depressed for the rest of her life, and it will be difficult for me to have happy days."

"But the Queen Mother..."

"I can't break up with her now, not because of her, but because of you." Xiao Tingshen said, "I can't just throw away the reputation you worked so hard to restore for me before. Otherwise, I would have dealt with her long ago. What kind of reputation is that?" I don't care if you are not famous."

Gu Chen was amused by his tone, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Nowadays, more than half of the royalist forces in the court have been completely eradicated. She is impatient, so she does this." Xiao Ting sneered deeply, "Since she wants to marry me, I will follow suit, but when will we get married, she said It doesn't matter."

Gu Chen was thoughtful: "Your Majesty means..."

"Has she counted the horoscopes of me and your sister?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Yes."

"You don't need to think about it, it must be a match made in heaven." Xiao Ting smiled coldly, "She had already thought about it before she did it. There are only a few places where I can take advantage of the loopholes. One of them is the horoscope. If I do something , Taichang Taibu directly calculates that the horoscope is not compatible, and she has nothing to do."

"So she blocked the road ahead of time?"

"Yes." Xiao Tingshen said, "But this is not the only way."

He looked directly at Gu Chen, his tone turned solemn, and he said word by word: "Yun Ting, give me three months, and I will definitely bring her down completely, and then her finger marriage will not count."

"Trust me. I will never marry your sister."

Gu Chen was slightly moved, and also nodded solemnly: "I believe in your majesty." After speaking, he rolled his eyes slightly, showing a bit of teasing: "What if your majesty doesn't fulfill this promise after three months? At this time, the minister will be promoted to be His Majesty's uncle..."

He has obviously recovered, and this sentence is just a joke at the moment.Xiao Tingshen leaned closer to his ear, and whispered into his ear: "If I don't abolish the empress dowager after three months, then I can only wrong my Lord Shangshu to marry my sister, consummate the bridal chamber, and become my queen." gone."

Gu Chen: "..."

He blushed, and suddenly became annoyed, and pushed His Majesty the Emperor aside.

Facing the empress dowager's intention of marriage, Xiao Tingshen directly adopted the simplest and rude way of coping - procrastination.

Fortunately, the empress dowager didn't set a date on the spot, and she didn't even issue a formal marriage order.Her initial idea might have been to use this matter to blackmail Xiao Tingshen and Gu Chen, forcing Xiao Tingshen to stop the purges in the court, so that she could have time to breathe and rest, so that she would have a chance to make a comeback.

However, it was precisely because of this that she didn't set a date, and she didn't make a marriage proposal, which gave Xiao Tingshen room to maneuver.He immediately called for Qin Tianjian and ordered them to watch the sky at night to see what was going on, on the grounds that "the empress dowager's body was restless and she had been ill for too long".

The envoy of Qin Tianjian was quite obedient, and before Xiao Tingshen had to say anything, he followed Xiao Tingshen's meaning and said what he wanted: the empress dowager's phoenix body is restless because of the recent unlucky astrology.There are evil spirits doing evil in the palace. As the real dragon emperor, His Majesty needs to fast for three months, meditate on his body, and suppress the evil spirits.At the same time, there are no ceremonial activities in the palace for three months, otherwise it will encourage evil spirits.

Gu Chen laughed for a long time after hearing this: Sometimes he really admires the people who admire Tianjian for being able to pinch unrelated things together, and even say it in a serious way.

Regardless of whether this statement is credible or not, anyway, the emperor believed it, and immediately decreed that he would fast for three months from now on, and stop all ceremonial activities in the palace, suppress evil spirits, and pray for the empress dowager.The emperor expressed his position, and the ministers of the court naturally followed the sticks and put up memorials one after another, praising Xiao Tingshen's "purity and filial piety" and "setting an example for all people".

As for the Empress Dowager, she naturally couldn't say anything. After all, Xiao Tingshen used the banner of doing her best, so she had to act like a loving mother and filial piety. As for the inside——

"I heard that she smashed two vases today, and didn't eat dinner." Xiao Tingshen smiled at Gu Chen while eating dinner, "Today's food is good, but unfortunately, the queen mother didn't eat it. Wei Dequan!" He raised his voice He called out loudly, "Which cook made today's dinner? Pass on my order, and say that you did a good job, and let him go to the Inner Court Division to receive the reward."

Gu Chen: "..."

He deeply suspected that the empress dowager would be pissed off before Xiao Tingshen asked her to settle the final score.

"The ceremony cannot be held for three months. In this way, even if the empress dowager wants to propose marriage to me tomorrow, she will have to wait for three months." Xiao Ting felt at ease physically and mentally, "I hope she will still be alive to see my mother-in-law." marriage."

Gu Chen was still holding it at first, but he couldn't help it when he heard this sentence, so he burst out laughing.Xiao Ting glanced at him deeply: "I'm not joking, I hope you..."

Gu Chen remembered what Xiao Tingshen said earlier about making him a queen, and immediately blushed, gave him a non-threatening look, and stopped him: "Your Majesty is talking nonsense again."

"I didn't..."

Before Xiao Tingshen could finish speaking, Gu Chen swiftly picked up a teacup and threw it at his face, blocking his mouth before he had time to say more inappropriate words.Xiao Tingshen finally swallowed the tea in his mouth, and opened his mouth to speak, but Gu Chen could not help but say that another cup of tea blocked him.

After so many back and forth, Xiao Ting sighed helplessly: "Don't feed me tea, I won't talk anymore."
