After the surrogate brother married the villain prime minister

Gu Que was not flattering Yan Luo, but Auntie.

The concept is different.

Gu Que blinked and asked her, "Who are you?"

"Yan Luo." Yan Luo said.

Gu Que nodded: "Sister-in-law is Yan Luo, and Yan Luo is sister-in-law, both are the same."

"It's different. If your sister-in-law is someone else instead of me, then you will seriously try to please this person." Yan Luo clicked her tongue, and broke up with her seriously, picking up a piece of rice cake, "This piece is a rice cake ,Is it right?"

Gu Que nodded, "So what?"

"You named it rice cake. I don't think it sounds good. I want to name it Zhang San. Then, it is also Zhang San. You can understand. What you like to eat is this object, not Zhang Sanan Gao. Similarly, you It's the people who are called sister-in-law, not just Yan Luo." Yan Luo made an analogy slowly.

"Stop talking, my head hurts, you won." Gu Que stopped talking, "You are the prime minister, you are right, but in the future, I will please you."

Yan Luo continued to argue with her: "If we reconcile..."

"Stop it, I was wrong, little ancestor." Gu Que heaved a long sigh, peeling shrimp was easier than reasoning.

Yan Luo poked her eyebrows, "You don't make sense."

"I got the reason. In the end, I might not have the reason." Gu Que surrendered and stuffed the peeled shrimp into her mouth, "You won, you were right, and I lost."

Yan Luo just gave up.

In the end, Yan Luo ate all the shrimp meat, Gu Que ate noodles with a bowl of soup, and Yan Luo happily went to the study to deal with official documents.

****

The imperial court canceled this year's Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival. On the night of Shangyuan, all households closed their doors.

After the fifteenth day, the capital was strictly prohibited. In the second ten days of the first lunar month, it was difficult to get in and out everywhere. Many people were stopped outside the city and could not enter the city.

Yan Luo was busy repairing the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and at the same time sent people to deal with Zhao Quan's godson. At the end of the month, when the subordinates came back to report, they all ran away.

Yan Luo reported to the empress, the empress couldn't believe it: "Why did you run away?"

"Maybe someone leaked the news, or it may be that after Zhao Quan was imprisoned, they divided up the family wealth and dispersed, so that they would not get a penny when Zhao Quan came back." Yan Luo explained.

The empress believed it, but she didn't give up, and told Yan Luo: "Keep looking, and be sure to deal with everyone."

Yan Luo took the order, and the empress asked how the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was doing, and Yan Luo replied that it was okay.

The two talked about something, and Yan Luo withdrew from the hall.

Restless everywhere, the empress has no intention of indulging in female sex.

On the first day of February, the shops opened one after another, the business was sluggish, and there were fewer people on the street.

Gu Que also opened a shop, but the business is not as good as last year. There are no people on the whole street, and there are more people patrolling than ordinary people.

Gradually, all parts of the capital quieted down, and Gu Que thought that when he was about to pass, many soldiers and horses from outside the capital city were transferred from Nanping.

Yan Luo was too bad, this time the Queen Mother and the Empress are of one mind!

When returning to the Hou Mansion, Gu Que asked Lord Hou about the transfer of troops.

Lord Hou happened to be sitting in front of the map, looking at the topography of Tongzhou and Nanping, "Looking at the topography, they are all the same, but this time, His Majesty and the Queen Mother are united. It can be seen that the other party must be the common enemy of the two. I Thinking about it so far, I can’t think of what the common enemy of the two is.”

He didn't understand, Gu Que gasped, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Hou Ye noticed that her expression was wrong, and immediately asked her: "Do you know the reason?"

"Father, I'm just guessing. I think the common enemy of the two is..." Gu Que paused, then walked up to Lord Hou and squatted down, lowering his voice: "Of course they are the ones who threaten their status, you Say, who could it be?"

Hou Ye concentrated on thinking, the first emperor only had daughters, and those eldest princesses were all useless, they were all held in the palm of His Majesty.

Among the younger brothers of the first emperor, only the King of Xiang remained, and there were still a few from the uncle's generation, and those people kept their own place.However, he could see clearly that the king of Xiang was a reckless man who was attached to the queen mother and would not let the queen be afraid.

"I don't know who the father is, Zhao Chu? When Zhao Chu died, I didn't come back, so I don't know about him, but this person will not make His Majesty and the Empress Dowager agree." Yongle Hou analyzed calmly, "I think His Majesty is afraid. , and handed over the matter to the Queen Mother, hoping to use the Nanping Army to protect Gyeonggi."

Gu Que followed his words to analyze: "The only thing that can make His Majesty the Empress Dowager agree is her own throne. However, her threats all come from the Empress Dowager. This matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager, so why?"

Marquis Yongle's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes finally became clear, "It's His Majesty Emperor Wen..."

They are the children of His Majesty Wendi!

As tenacious as Marquis Yongle, his teeth were chattering, "It's been so many years..."

Gu Que didn't know what happened before, so he asked his father directly: "What's wrong with His Majesty Emperor Wen, please tell your daughter."

Marquis Yongle took a deep breath, now that things have developed to this point, it is not a good thing to conceal.

"His Majesty Wendi and Empress Jingde are loving couples. After they got married, they did not accept concubines and gave birth to a son and a daughter. One day, His Majesty Wendi got drunk and favored a court lady. Empress Jingde became so jealous that she was killed by a stick. His majesty Emperor Wen was furious and confined the queen in the palace. Within three days, the central palace caught fire, and the queen was buried in a sea of ​​flames. Some people said that it was Princess Qiongju who knocked over the candlestick by playing around. Anger, locked up the princess."

"At this moment, the prince stumbled and fell to his death. Princess Qiongju was depressed because of this, and she followed her after a few months. His Majesty Emperor Wen was seriously ill, and before he died, he gave the throne to his own younger brother, the first emperor."

Gu Que said: "Father, don't you think there is a problem?"

Yonglehou took a deep look at his daughter, and said: "Princess Qiongju's life is unknown, and she can control her mother and younger brother. Therefore, I am not happy when I hear the word Qiongju."

"Is it unknown, or did the late emperor do something?" Gu Que boldly questioned, she suspected that His Majesty Wendi did not die well, and the succession of the throne was not her own will. These things should be asked to the great literati.

"You." Marquis Yongle was unable to teach his daughter a lesson, if in the past he would have told her face to face, but now, she followed Yan Xiang, perhaps knew many secrets that no one knew, and got more news than him.

"No matter what, don't mention it in front of outsiders. The Hou's mansion is now clean, so treat it as a spectator. You should know how to protect yourself."

"I should know that you are wise and safe, but I have a question to ask you." Gu Que was very confused, Hou Ye was still upright, she asked: "If the prince comes back to take revenge, you are still the Hou Ye who led the soldiers, then you How to choose."

Gu Que didn't dare to say that she was a princess, so he could only play sloppy and say that he was a prince.

Marquis Yongle smiled lightly: "If you talk about loyalty to the emperor, you will naturally support the prince; if you think about the people, you will naturally support His Majesty."

"Father, if you support His Majesty, will you turn against the prince when he returns?" Gu Que asked.

Yonglehou raised his eyes and looked at his daughter. In an instant, he felt that her daughter had grown up a lot, and she was no longer the girl who only knew about romance every day.Being able to ask this kind of question shows that she is thinking every day.

Everyone is in a different environment, what they see and learn is different, and there will be gaps in self-cultivation.Today's Gu Que is a bit more mature.

"If you are a good father and son, you will definitely not answer your question. Unfortunately, I can't go to the battlefield, and what you asked is just a hypothesis. If your highness is a man of benevolence and righteousness, I will support him." He said, the empress acted Childish, unable to bear the responsibility of the emperor.

This sentence is talking about the emperor, he dare not say it, and he doesn't want Gu Que to be disrespectful to the emperor.

Gu Que understood, "Father is for the sake of the people." In the next words, she knew his father's answer without asking, he would not choose facial features.

Gu Que went home.

Back home, breathing in the residual smell of Yan Xiang in the air, my heart gradually calmed down.

The maidservants in the corridor gather together to play nets, the days are clean and there are not so many troubles, but behind this is a world supported by Yan Xiang.

She remembered Lin Huiyin's words again: I would like to cover my eyes so as not to tell whether you are a human or a ghost.

I and the spring breeze are both passers-by, and you take the autumn water to embrace the galaxy.Sansheng is lucky to meet you, even if it is sad, it is love.

Yan Luo has been very busy these days, so she almost slept in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and every time she came back, she was very late.

Gu Que didn't wait for her, he went to sleep first, and when she came in the middle of the night, he moved his position.

I woke up in the morning, and there was no one around, my grandma urged the consummation of the house, and even prepared some medicine to cheer me up, Gu Que chuckled, Yan Xiangye did not return home at night.

Sun took the medicine back.

The strawberries in the warm house were edible, and Xiao Yu sent a small basket, which was eaten by Mrs. Sun.

On the third day of February, Gu Que wanted to go outside the city to see his paddy fields, but when he arrived at the gate of the city, he was stopped back, yelling that even if Yan Xiang came, it would not work, who would believe you if you said to go to see the crops in the fields.

No one would believe that the son of the Hou family went to the field to look at the crops.

Gu Que had no choice but to go back to the warm house and continue to work on his own strawberries. Taking advantage of the good weather, he planted watermelons, hoping to eat early watermelons.

When I went back, I picked some strawberries and sent some to various prefectures, not many, counted, but only a dozen or so, the strawberries are bigger than strawberries, and they look pleasing to the eye.

Yan Luo went down to the yamen a little earlier, and came back before it was dark.

The strawberries were still placed in the room, Gu Que was studying the recipe and wanted to make something to eat.Yan Luo went to change clothes first, and then went to play with her with strawberries.

Yan Luo asked her, "What are you doing?"

"I was thinking of shredding strawberries at night. By the way, why did you come back so early?" Gu Que raised his head, and saw that Yan Xiang had changed into an orange dress with dark orchid patterns on the slanted breast.

Orange is a warm color and looks gentle.

Gu Que called her over and handed her the recipe: "You pick, I'll make it."

"What are cheese ribs?" Yan Luo picked up a strawberry and put it into her mouth. It was full of juice. She looked at Gu Que's pale face, couldn't hold back, and took a bite.

Gu Que refused, "You kiss after eating the strawberries."

Yan Luo remembered, kiss her after eating strawberries.

"Order the cheese ribs, whether it's sweet or not, don't want it if it's not sweet."

"Sweet, then I won't make candied strawberries, it's a bit reckless, I want to eat pickled fish, I'll make it, where are you going?" Gu Que stared blankly, watching her take a bite of a strawberry, his peach blossom eyes were psychedelic , intoxicating.

Dignified and demure have long seen ghosts, but in Gu Que's eyes, they still look good.

Yan Luo went to the study first, and there were still many official documents to deal with.

The two are busy with their own things.

Yan Luo ordered someone to go to the other courtyard of the Hou Mansion to find out about Gu Yan's situation.

Then, it's about the Huo family.After that day, Mr. Huo became ill and didn't eat any grains of rice. He woke up again after a few days of suffering, poured soup and medicine, and now he is slightly better.

Ruthless is waiting for Mr. Huo. It is not safe to leave the camp for many days.

Ruthlessly asked about Nanping's soldiers and horses, Yan Luo smiled lightly: "It's what I expected, the back camp is empty, you go to Nanping, do you know?"

"This subordinate understands." Wuqing suddenly became enlightened, "This subordinate thought you were waiting for the two battalions to fight each other."

"Your Majesty is still a suckling child." Yan Luo mocked, "Ask her? You just need to be faster."

Ruthless dared not delay, and left at night.

At Haishi, the two sat next to the food table. Gu Que ate a mouthful of sauerkraut, and his eyebrows were so sour. Gu Que laughed at her, "You can't eat sour, it's delicious. When I eat sauerkraut fish, I like the sauerkraut inside. .”

"If you don't eat meat, you eat vegetables?" Yan Luo looked at the sky speechlessly.

Gu Que hummed twice, "This is a hobby, you eat your ribs."

The two eat their own food.

After eating to digest food, Gu Que wanted to go to Zhuangzi, Yan Luo said: "I can't get out, there are Nanping Army at the city gate."

Gu Que understood as soon as she heard it, she was in a panic at this moment, she asked Yan Xiang: "Yan Xiang, do you want to be the emperor?"

"I don't want to." Yan Luo shook her head, looking at the dark sky, she couldn't help but pause, "Gu Que, do you think I care about the throne?"

Gu Que smiled. People who don't care about the throne are not indifferent, but look down on them.

She didn't say anything, no matter how much she said, Yan Luo would not change her mind.

She reached out and took Yan Luo's hand: "I have a book of poems for you to read. There is a sentence on it that I like very much. She said: If you hold me in your arms, love me to the bone, and protect me well, I am willing." Blind your eyes so you can't tell if you're a human or a ghost."

Yan Luo was stunned: "This is also a strange woman."

Gu Que didn't reply, but with a smile on her lips, she looked at the bright moon and stars. At this moment, she deeply understood the meaning of this poem.

****

On the sixth day of February, Huo Mingtang died of illness.

On this day, Yan Luo was discussing the plan of the new cell with Lu Song in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The servant hurried in and said solemnly, "Mr. Huo is gone."

Yan Luo didn't raise her head, and Huo Lao loved to toss about and run around when she was ill. She didn't care at all, and even thought about whether to add a secret door to the cell to lock up important prisoners.

Lu Songduo asked, "Did Mr. Huo go to see Mrs. Huo?"

The servant nodded heavily: "It was gone half an hour ago."

Yan Luo suddenly raised her head and looked at the servant who was speaking: "Say it again."

"Mr. Huo is dead, and the Huo family has set up a mourning hall."

Lu Song lamented: "It's been a long time, it's a long life."

Yan Luo swallowed a breath, stood up, handed the blueprint to Lu Song, and said, "Just follow the agreement."

Lu Song glanced at the blueprint, "Prime Minister, there are still a few things that are unclear."

"Okay, I'll tell you in detail." Yan Luo's face was calm, the corners of his lips pursed, and he looked at the servant opposite, "Is there an answer from the palace?"

The servant shook his head: "There was no decree."

"He is the father of Empress Jingde, and he has many disciples. This time, when he leaves, it also makes us sad." Lu Song said, when Emperor Wen was in power, Huo Lao Guan held an important position, who would not respect him.

Yan Luo looked down at the blueprint, and said to Lu Song, "Here, we need to make more changes."

Lu Song quickly changed his mind and continued to listen.

Gu Que in the mansion also heard the news immediately, the herb in Sun's hand suddenly dropped, stood up, and took a few steps, Gu Que quickly went to support her: "Grandma."

Sun's world was spinning, and there was darkness in front of her eyes, and Gu Que called grandma in a loud voice.

After a while, Sun woke up, grabbed Gu Que's hand, and said, "Go to the government office to see the prime minister."

At this moment, Gu Que confirmed one thing: Yan Xiang is Princess Qiongju.

She asked her maid to take care of Mrs. Sun, and she asked someone to set up a car, changed her clothes and went to the government office.

After going to the official office, I found out that Xiang Yan entered the palace to see His Majesty.

The empress was in a good mood, and she pulled Yan Luo to talk long and short. She had a new beauty, whose appearance and figure were far better than the skinny horse Yan Luo sent.

Yan Luo listened intently, the Empress talked about the Nanping Army again, asked people to open the map, and talked about the defense.

The Empress Dowager is no stranger to government affairs. On the contrary, she even revealed that she is more talented than the Empress. This time, she arranged for the mobilization of the Nanping Army.

Yan Luo asked, "Did the Nanping army stop moving after they were stationed outside the city?"

"The Empress Dowager intends to let the Nanping army guard the city gates and set up checkpoints. It depends on how the other party moves." The empress said in a cold tone, "This time I have made complete preparations. If you kill a thousand by mistake, don’t let one go.”

Yan Luo was silent, and didn't even want to listen at all. She lowered her head and asked suddenly: "Your Majesty, have you done anything to the Huo family?"

The empress paused, her smile condensed slightly, and she said: "Offending the holy face, it should be like this."

Yan Luo pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Prime Minister, you go to Huo's Mansion to express my condolences on my behalf." The Empress was extremely relieved.

Yan Luo leaned over and saluted, "Your Majesty will do it, by the way, do you want to posthumously?"

"Feng?" The empress was surprised, and then said: "I can't wait to let his corpse be exposed in the wilderness."

Yan Luo nodded, a little weak, and slowly exited the hall.

Walking out of the hall, she felt extremely powerless, her steps were weak, and her legs seemed to be unable to move. However, she maintained her demeanor and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Get on the carriage and tell the driver: "Go to the Huo Mansion."

Huo Lao died for nearly three hours, the mourning hall has been set up, and the coffin is in the mourning hall. Many people came to express their condolences after hearing the news. I fell.

Entering the mansion, Huo Zixu, the elder of the Huo family, came wearing filial piety. Yan Luo said in a cold tone, "I came here for your majesty."

Huo Zixu hurriedly saluted and thanked: "On behalf of my father, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

grace?Yan Luo laughed, it was too ironic.She followed Huo Zixu and walked in without asking Mr. Huo how he got there. His majesty's words of words are better than many evidences.

I met many familiar figures on the road, and when they saw the prime minister, they also gave way one after another.

Huo Zixu said first: "I'm afraid Cheng Ru will come back to Ding You first."

Yan Luo said: "After Huo Laoqiqi, let him go back, the rules are dead."

Huo Zixu thanked him.

Entering the mourning hall, there was a gust of cold wind, Yan Luo stepped over the threshold, stared ahead, and knelt numbly on the futon.

The Huo family has many descendants, Huo Zixu himself has become a grandfather, and his grandson is ten years old, kneeling obediently in the mourning hall.

Yan Luo got up after kneeling, and took a look at the coffin, which had not been sealed yet, but she was not qualified to ask the Huo family to open the coffin for her to take a look.

After a while, she left, came and left quietly.

As night fell, there was a constant flow of people in front of the Huo Mansion. The carriage stopped, and a few people got off and went in to express their condolences. After a while, a few more people came.

Yan Luo didn't leave, she sat in the car, opened the curtain, and looked at the figure walking in front of the door.

It's only February now, the night is cold, and the cold weather didn't stop Mr. Huo's disciples from coming to express their condolences. The world is full of peaches and plums, and Mr. Huo is considered complete.

Yan Luo leaned against the window of the car, her gaze was distracted, and after sitting for a long time, the driver drove the car away from Huo's residence.

Halfway through the journey, Leng Mian rushed over. She jumped out of the carriage and walked to the front of the carriage worriedly, "Prime Minister."

"It's okay, you don't have to go to the Huo Mansion, you need to meet Huo Chengru on the way." Yan Luo ordered, His Majesty's thoughts are vicious, if you cut the weeds, you must get rid of the roots. Next, the Huo Mansion will be in danger.

He responded coldly, came to his senses, turned back on the horse, reined in the reins, beat the horse and left.

Yan Luo, who was sitting in the car, was wondering if the palace was too quiet, and whether it should be more lively.

She thought of His Majesty's Glazed House, and heard that His Majesty liked it very much, and often turned upside down with beauties in it, really happy.

"Happy." She said in a low voice.

The coachman raised his whip and yelled in the silent street.

When they arrived at Gu's house, before the carriage stopped, Gu Que rushed out from the door and trotted down the steps.

"Appearance, appearance."

Yan Luo pushed open the car door, and saw the anxious young man at a glance, she smiled, "Oh, who burned your tail, why are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Que was in such a panic that she couldn't find Yan Xiang until now. She was afraid of accidents and waited at the door so that she could see her immediately.

Yan Luo got out of the car, took her hand, and stepped on the car seat slowly.

Gu Que held her cold hands tightly, "Is it cold?"

"It's cold, what's for dinner?" Yan Luo smiled slightly, her skin was fair under the candlelight, and the gold threads on her cuffs were shining, she held Gu Que's hand, and the two of them walked together, "I'm delayed by something on the road. "

Gu Que's hands were shaking, Yan Luo laughed at her: "What evil did you do, look at you panicked."

"Go back to the house, it's so cold." Gu Que didn't dare to speak, but Grandma said don't provoke her, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing.

She didn't speak, but held Yan Luo's hand tightly, which was silent comfort.

On the way back, Yan Luo kept talking, talking about His Majesty's new woman, who was happy every day, she looked at Gu Que eagerly: "When will we be happy?"

Gu Que didn't dare to answer the words, why did Mr. Huo disappear so well?

Being in the center of power, she dared not think for the good, and when she thought about it carefully, she was terrified.

She didn't speak, Yan Luo urged her: "Call me back, I'm so prepared."

"We..." Gu Que hesitated to speak, the corners of his lips quivering slightly.

It was surprisingly cold tonight, Gu Que was too cold to speak, Yan Luo lamented.

Back in the bedroom, Mrs. Sun was waiting, and when she saw Yan Luo coming back in good order, she felt even more nervous, so she stepped forward and pulled her to check her pulse.

Yan Luo pushed her away, "Grandma, why are you nervous? I'm fine, but my son, I was shivering when I came back. Can you show me?"

Yan Luo went into the house as usual and called the maid to change her clothes.

Gu Que and Sun Shi looked at each other outside the door, Sun Shi said: "You coax her, she will be happy."

Gu Que was worried: "I think she is like someone who has nothing to do, maybe she didn't take it to heart?"

Mrs. Sun glanced at her, "Is she okay? Just watch, if she's okay, I'll pull out my shed."

"What are you doing pulling out the shed? You go back first, and I'll watch her." Gu Que was at a loss, maybe he and Grandma were thinking too much.

Mrs. Sun left, Gu Que walked into the room, Yan Luo changed into normal clothes, and sat on the pillow with a novel in her hand.

Gu Que walked over quietly, "Yan Xiang, shall we have dinner?"

"Okay." Yan Luo replied, without raising her head, her eyes were fixed on the page.

Gu Que turned back to order the maid, Yan Luo coughed suddenly, and coughed up a mouthful of blood, the page was stained with red blood,

Gu Que panicked, "Go and find grandma."

Yan Luo was very calm, and stopped her: "Why panic, it's just a mouthful of blood." She tore off the blood-stained paper, put it on the candle and burned it directly.

Destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, clean.
