Rebirth of marriage

"How is he?" The emperor leaned back in his chair and asked Zhao Debao with his eyes closed.

Zhao Debao bowed and whispered, "The sword stabbed the waist, but fortunately it narrowly avoided the kidneys. The old slave has followed your instructions to let His Highness have a good life and recover for a few days. There is no need to recover prematurely. The imperial doctor has also sealed his mouth."

However, the old servant sees that His Highness also means to take the injury seriously, and probably has his own plans. Do you think what happened in the house of Mrs. Cao's house was done by His Highness? "

"He didn't do it, and his participation is indispensable." He had previously suspected that it was the Qiu family, but with what Prince Gong said just now, Prince Xiao recognized Lou Qi as his son at a glance, and he vaguely guessed that the black feather guard was the one. superior.

Zhao Debao, who had been with the emperor for decades, seemed to understand, and said carefully, "Do you hope that Crown Prince Gong will become His Highness's assistant?"

That's why he pretended to make him the crown prince by mistake, but weren't he afraid that Prince Gong's palace would have ambitions? Previously, Prince Gong had no queen, so he had nothing to think about. Now that he has a son, if he has any thoughts that he shouldn't have, then it's really It is caused by internal and external troubles.

The emperor would not answer the confusion in his heart. He ordered, "Later, you will take the imperial doctor to the Cao Mansion so that you can take a look at the injury of the Cao Mansion girl for me."

Zhao Debao understood what the emperor meant. This was that Miss Cao's injury could never be lighter than that of Prince Xiao. All of this today was caused by her making trouble in Zhenbao Pavilion. She was the source of His Highness's injuries. However, if we really want to trace the source, There is one more person.

Just as he was thinking this, the emperor's voice sounded coldly, "Go and bring the thank you wine."

"Your Majesty." Zhao Debao was shocked, "Your Majesty, over there..."

His Highness has said that if you hurt Na Xiejiu, he will fight you to the death.

The emperor opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of sharpness. Zhao Debao did not dare to delay, and hurriedly called the young eunuch to thank him for the wine.

Xie Jiu and the others had not gone far when they were caught up by the young eunuch, "Miss Xie, Your Majesty has something to ask you about Qiu Daxia."

"I'll go with you." Lou Qi was a little worried that the emperor would express his anger and thank him for the wine. After all, he had previously been worried that his fat father would embarrass his Jiaojiao family.

Xie Jiu shook his head, "You guys should leave the palace first, I'm fine."

The emperor will not touch her life, and there is no point in fearing anything else. This day will come sooner or later.

"Why did the old lady of the Cao Mansion send someone to assassinate you?" As soon as Xie Jiu returned to the imperial study, the emperor asked in a deep voice.

On the way here, Xie Jiu had thought about the possibility that the emperor might ask this question. From the moment the emperor asked the imperial doctor to examine Miss Cao Liu's injuries, she knew that the emperor knew about the old lady of Cao Mansion.

Also, if the emperor wanted to take back the imperial power from Cao Shoufu, it was impossible not to keep an eye on the Cao family.

However, her relationship with Mrs. Cao Si could not be known to the emperor, so he said, "Perhaps he knew that I was the one who planned to make Cao Shoufu and his son trapped in the snowy mountains, or maybe he knew that Cao Chengwang's current situation was my fault."

There was slight surprise in the emperor's eyes, these two things were actually done by Xie Jiu?If that were the case, it would make sense that the old lady of the Cao Mansion would kill her.

But does Xie Jiu really have the ability to plot against them?It must have been assisted or even led by King Xiao.

The emperor looked at Xie Jiu carefully. Apart from his better appearance, he really didn't see anything special about him.

Even that appearance is troublesome, and his displeasure is clearly visible on his face, "Do you know that all his injuries today are because of you, and you will bring him more harm and trouble in the future."

He pointed to a bunch of excerpts on the bookshelf, "Those are all excerpts that the officials accused him of encouraging widows to remarry. He did this for you. It was the emperor's intention not to remarry widows. Now he is being impeached by the officials for being unfilial. Against the wishes of the ancestor, if your affairs are known to the world in the future, what kind of infamy will he bear?

You wouldn't have thought of this, but have you ever seriously considered it for him?If you are sincere to him, you should know that staying away from him is the best thing for him. "

"I have my reasons why he was injured today, but the root cause lies with you." Xie Jiu's eyes were calm, "I will not leave him, I will face it together with him. The decree on widow remarriage is deeply recognized by the people in Yuyouguan. It can be seen that this decree is beneficial to the people."

If the emperor had not despised Gu Xiao, Mrs. Qian would not have looked down upon him and sent Cheng Cong to assassinate him and ruin his marriage with Nihuang. Gu Xiao would not have had to slander himself and confuse Mrs. Qian.

If the emperor had not allowed the Cao family to grow, the Dali Temple Minister would not have arrogantly come to arrest people in order to please Cao's chief assistant, and Gu Xiao would not have had to seriously injure himself to defeat the Dali Temple Minister.

"Quia, what you call facing him together is just standing behind him and clinging to him."

Xie Jiu raised his eyes to look at the emperor and smiled suddenly, "My daughter is indeed powerless, but she has a sincere heart for him. Is Your Majesty also caring about His Highness Prince Xiao now?

Back then, he was hunted down by countless martial arts masters. He was beaten from dusk to midnight at the feet of the emperor in the capital. When he finally lay dying in Wenyuan Lane, my little girl could pick up stones to help him drive away the assassins. Where were you?

Where are your concerns when he has countless scars on his body and was assassinated countless times?Cao Zhicheng sent an assassin to lurk in Yuyouguan, and he almost lost his life when he was assassinated. My daughter plotted against Cao Zhicheng and his son, and made them trapped in the snowy mountains to avenge His Highness. What about you?

Yes, His Highness was injured by me today, and I feel guilty and blame myself, but one day I will avenge this sword for him. Your Majesty, what are you going to do for His Highness?Or are you busy arranging your own personnel by taking advantage of his injury? "

"You are so presumptuous." The emperor was furious and threw a tea cup at Xie Jiu's feet. "Don't think that because you have his support, I won't dare to kill you. Don't forget that we are father and son after all. I really want to kill you and you." What can he do to my family?"

"Your Majesty is in charge of the power of life and death in this world, so he can kill the little girl. The little girl is not afraid. The little girl's family can only consider themselves unlucky, but the little girl will never wait for His Majesty to kill her. Even an ant will struggle."

Her barefoot arhat look was very similar to Gu Xiao's reaction when the emperor threatened Gu Xiao that day.

The anger on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared, and he leaned forward to look at her with interest in his eyes, "You hate me? Is it because of him?"

The hardships Gu Xiao had endured made Xie Jiu unable to help but hate the person in front of her. She said in a calm tone, "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness."

"Hmph, you are bold, but being bold is not enough." The emperor slowly leaned back in his chair again, "Xie Jiu, all your arrogance now comes from the confidence he gave you, but a man's feelings are the most important. It’s unreliable, I want to see how long he can protect you, so step back.”

Not long after Xie Jiu followed the young eunuch out of the imperial study, he saw Lou Qi and his son coming this way, as well as the ancestors and grandsons of Zhen Guogong Mansion.

"Are you okay?" Lou Qi hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu shook his head and looked at the concerned Duke Zhen. Everything became clear in his heart. The Duke recognized her.

The palace was not a convenient place to talk, and she still thought about Gu Xiao, so she said, "Let's get out of the palace first."

Duke Zhenguo also understood that Xie Jiu was just anxious to see Prince Xiao, but he had too many questions to ask, so he followed a few people to Prince Xiao's Mansion.

There were also imperial doctors and chamberlains staying in the palace to deal with the people who came to visit King Xiao, putting on a full show. When they entered the room, Gu Xiao was still asleep.

Liu Yuyi was one of Prince Gong's men. Prince Gong knew the true extent of Gu Xiao's injury before entering the palace. Duke Zhen Guo also heard from Zhao Qingyun about Gu Xiao's arrangements. They all understood that Prince Xiao's injury was genuine and that he was dying. For Cao Dang to see.

He stayed for a moment and then left Prince Xiao's bed. Before leaving, Prince Gong took the imperial doctor and chamberlain out at Lou Qi's signal. Anyway, the emperor knew about the relationship between Xie Jiu and Prince Xiao, and was told by the emperor. Know that it’s okay to stay.

After everyone left, Xie Jiu bit Gu Xiao hard on the arm.

Gu Xiao gritted his teeth in pain, "Jiu'er, do you want to murder your husband?"

Her teeth were loosened but her head was not raised. She whispered, "Gu Xiao, your life and body are mine. Without my permission, you are not allowed to abuse yourself easily, otherwise I will make you feel heartbroken." The taste of."

Hearing her cry, Gu Xiao was about to sit up, but was stopped by Xie Jiu.

Her eyes filled with tears.

Gu Xiao was a little panicked and hurriedly explained, "Don't cry. I originally wanted to follow our plan and let Cheng Cong pretend to assassinate me, say that the Zhenguo government had arranged for him to be a chess piece, and then pretend to be injured. Zhao Qingyun went to find out the truth about Cheng Cong's placement.

But when I heard the news that the Minister of Dali Temple personally brought people to find you, and Zhao Qingyun had also investigated a lot of things these days, I changed my mind and informed him of what Song Nianru had done.

Regardless of whether his government knew about it or not, they were inseparable from these matters. He knew this very well, so he cooperated with me. "

Fake injuries can be concealed from Song Nianru, but they cannot be concealed from Cao Dang. This sword must be injured.

Xie Jiu also knew, but he just felt sorry for him.

But seeing Gu Xiao's eyes full of worry and a little uneasy, she wiped her tears and said something else, "The Duke of Zhen Guo knows my identity. He should be waiting outside. Do I want to recognize him?"
