Because of Yun Shuang's betrayal, they found the real evidence of what the Empress Dowager had done, and drafted an edict two days before Xiao Tingshen's wedding date.

This edict was written by Gu Chen, and the terms and conditions clearly listed the empress dowager's crimes.However, Xiao Tingshen and Gu Chen had some disagreements on how to deal with it.

"Five horses to divide the body." Xiao Ting looked at the dug up letters with his eyes downcast, his face was extremely calm, but his tone was extremely fierce, "Everything started because of her, and she even almost killed you..." Xiao Ting sneered deeply, "I can tolerate everything else, if she dares to set your mind on you, I will never let her go."

Gu Chen had just read Wang Yongke's letter to the Empress Dowager during the Battle of Huaihe, and some letters were not in Dajing script, but in Baiyi script.Gu Chen originally planned to ask Yan Shi for a question, but felt that the matter was too sensitive, so he asked the Grand Master of the Palace to translate these words one by one.

The empress dowager and Wang Yongke colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, killing elder brother Gu Chen, this matter is already a certainty.In the past, there was no evidence, and Xiao Tingshen's aunt could not be dealt with rashly, but now, these letters are ironclad evidence.

Gu Chen should have agreed to kill her.

But when he sat in the study, read those letters quietly, and watched Xiao Tingshen quietly for a while, his heart was more peaceful and satisfied than ever before.He felt that he had nothing else to ask for in this life until now, and his wish had already been fulfilled—it was absolutely impossible for him to end up in the same fate as in his previous life.But now all aspects of the court are back on track, and no more innocent people will die in vain.

Dajing will only become stronger and stronger, and the southern Hubei border, which has been a headache in previous years, is stable, and there is no war this year.

"It's better to spare her life." Gu Chen said, "She is your aunt after all."

In any case, the murder of the aunt, or the cruel criminal law of quartering the body by five horses, will inevitably spark a discussion against Xiao Tingshen among the scholars in the world.Xiao Tingshen finally got to where he is today. His throne is stable and his reputation is much better than in his previous life. Gu Chen doesn't want to make any more troubles.

Xiao Ting was silent for a moment: "I don't want to let her go." Biquge website m. biqiudu. com

Gu Chen paused - Xiao Tingshen suffered a lot under her hands when he was young, not to mention that his mother and concubine almost died at her hands. He didn't want to let her go, there must be this factor.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen immediately softened his heart, thinking that it's all right, he doesn't care, but Xiao Tingshen...it's normal for him to want to kill her.

"All right……"

"Not like this..."

As soon as Gu Chen opened his mouth, Xiao Tingshen also spoke at the same time.Both of them were taken aback, and Gu Chen couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty will speak first."

"There is no need for such an extreme punishment." Xiao Tingshen said lightly, "I will leave her a whole body."

Gu Chen: "Your Majesty?"

"She treated you that way before." Xiao Ting smiled deeply, "I will reward her with a glass of poisonous wine."

After finishing speaking, he kissed Gu Chen lightly on the forehead: "I have avenged you."

The day before the big wedding, Xiao Tingshen ordered the Ministry of Rites to stop preparing for the big wedding, and ordered officials from various ministries to go to the Zichen Palace.

Wei Dequan read out the edict written by Gu Chen in public, clearly and clearly announcing what the empress dowager had done.Collaborating with the enemy and treason, framing Zhongliang, forming a party for personal gain, poisoning the late emperor's heirs...every one is shocking enough.

At the end, Wei Dequan read out the disposition of the empress dowager: Nian Qi was the first emperor and empress, and the mother of your majesty, so he made an exception, gave poisoned wine, and left the whole body.From now on, this imperial decree will be announced to the world, to give the deceased a real justice in front of the people of the world, and let the people of the world understand the truth of it.

Furthermore, those who are innocently involved, such as the third daughter of the Gu family, will be compensated - Xiao Tingshen did not tell Gu Chen in advance that he gave Gu Lian the status of a princess, titled Yongning.

Gu Chen who was standing at the bottom couldn't help but froze for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Tingshen.The other party was lowering his eyes, looking absent-minded, but Gu Chen clearly saw a smile in his eyes.

He knew that Xiao Tingshen was planning for Gu Lian's future - Gu Lian was accused of marrying Xiao Tingshen, even if the wedding was canceled in the end, in Dajing, she was a woman who had been discussed by the emperor as the empress, ordinary people I dare not marry, and I cannot marry.In order to prevent Gu Lian from being discussed in the future, Xiao Tingshen simply elevated her status, which is the same as the title of the princess of this dynasty, starting with the word "Yong", which is a great honor.

In this way, not only will Gu Lian not be talked about by others, but he will become popular in an instant. Those with a slightly inferior family background may easily dare not come to propose marriage.

Gu Chen couldn't help laughing, feeling touched in his heart.However, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Tingshen thought of more than these——

"... Gu Chen should take the lead in writing, and enfeoff Gu Chen as Marquis of Huaiyuan, with thousands of households in the city..."

Gu Chen was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Ting again.The majesty smiled slightly at him and made a mouth shape.

He said, "A dowry gift for you."

The betrothal gift... Gu Chen was moved and funny at the same time, and there was a touch of embarrassment mixed with this joy.Marquis Huaiyuan, thankfully he can figure it out.

But this title...

Gu Chen lowered his head and tasted the title.Huaiyuan... Is Xiao Tingshen using this to express his concern about leaving Shenjing and going to Yanbei?

He already knew it all.

He silently mouthed to Xiao Tingshen.

Unlike his previous life, he stayed in Beijing this time, and did not leave Xiao Tingshen alone.This time he saw the letter from the Empress Dowager, and learned of Xiao Tingshen's deep affection for him.This time, he finally understood Xiao Tingshen and everything he did...

Your heart is not free to pay, I catch it.

After the court was over, he and Xiao Tingshen walked side by side in the snow.The snow is falling heavily, and there are still two months before the Chinese New Year.Xiao Ting held his hand deeply, fingers intertwined, intimate.

After returning to the study of Ganquan Palace, Gu Chen's hair and eyebrows were covered with snowflakes.The room was very hot, and it melted in a short while, condensing into drops of water.Xiao Ting grabbed his arm deeply and said in a low voice: "Don't move."

He took out a pair of handkerchiefs from his arms, and wiped the water droplets on Gu Chen's long hair.The surrounding palace people retreated tactfully, and the door of the study was closed, leaving the two of them indoors.

Gu Chen's eyes fell on the veil, he was startled, and then smiled.

"It seems to belong to the minister."

The style of the handkerchief is simple, and it looks like a man's item.Its color is azure, and a small word "Chen" is outlined with embroidery thread in the lower right corner.

This is indeed Gu Chen's veil.

Back then, Gu Chen was still studying in Hongwen Pavilion. He arrived very early that morning, but he didn't expect that there was already someone else in the room.Xiao Tingshen was sitting by the window, writing with his head down.

The young man Gu Chen took a glance and noticed that there was a large pile of tattered and dirty paper in front of him, on which several shoe prints were clearly printed.He understood: this classmate was poorly dressed and never said a word, and the other princes always bullied him for some reason.It seems that today, he was bullied again.

So the young Gu Chen stepped forward and said softly, "Do you need my help?"

At that time, the young Xiao Tingshen only looked up at him.In Gu Chen's eyes, although this classmate had handsome features, his pupils were as black as jade, cold and devoid of any warmth.He just glanced at himself, then turned around again, and said two words coldly: "No."

"But you won't be able to finish it." Gu Chen said, "Mr. will hit the palm of your hand..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Tingshen's left hand.This hand had just been hit by a board the day before yesterday, and it was also hit by a board yesterday. The whole hand was already swollen, showing a horrible purple color.Gu Chen frowned involuntarily—if he hit the board again today, his hand would be bruised.

The young Xiao Tingshen didn't pay attention to him at all, as if the person who was going to be beaten was not himself, but someone else who had nothing to do with him.

In the end, he didn't allow Gu Chen to help. Of course, he couldn't finish writing.

When he was hitting the board, he just stared at his hand indifferently, there was no expression on that handsome face, as if this hand was not his.The palm was bloody from the beating, the skin was ripped apart, and the blood even touched his cuff, but he just pulled the cuff up, as if the clothes were more important than his hand.

After the class was over, everyone left in twos and threes.Xiao Tingshen packed his things slowly, and when he turned around, he met Gu Chen at the door.He wanted to bypass the other party directly, but he didn't expect the other party to stop him involuntarily, and grabbed his injured hand.

"Let go." Xiao Ting said coldly.

Ordinary people may have been scared away by him when they heard his repulsive tone, or they thought he didn't know what's good and left, and left after a few angry words. This is how he always treats other people .But Gu Chen just ignored him, he was not scared off at all, instead he frowned and looked at his hand, and then took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from his arms.

"My brother said, this is very useful." He sprinkled the powder on Xiao Tingshen's hands while talking, and took out a handkerchief to bandage him.After finishing the work, he couldn't help but stuff the medicine bottle into Xiao Ting's deep arms.

"Leave the wound alone, and it will get worse." The young Gu Chen said to him seriously, "Even if it heals, it will leave a scar, so it must be treated properly."

After speaking, he took his own things and smiled gently at her.

"I am leaving."

He never imagined what kind of impression this first meeting left on Xiao Ting's heart.

Xiao Tingshen always believed that he was paranoid, cold, ruthless and vicious, and there would be no second person to like him except his mother and concubine.His father and emperor had forgotten him in the deep palace, and his brothers regarded him as an object who could be bullied at will for fun.No one cares about him, no one will reach out to him - because he is too humble, he is worthless.

But Gu Chen is different.

He taught him what is caring, what is warmth, what is love.Xiao Tingshen kept his handkerchief secretly, whenever he felt pain, he would take it out and look at it silently.

Gu Chen never knew that he was the driving force for him to go on, and he was the medicine that healed all his wounds.Without Gu Chen, everything Xiao Tingshen did would be meaningless.

Gu Chen would never know that the hand he extended to Xiao Tingshen on that warm afternoon changed the course of his life from now on.Gu Chen pulled him out of the mud and handed him a light.

Xiao Tingshen pulled him in front of him, and gently kissed his lips.The shadow of the candle swayed, and the two figures gradually overlapped and merged into one.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the room is warm as spring.
