Rebirth of marriage

Wu Chong knew he would face this problem when he decided to come to Prince Xiao's Mansion, and he already had the answer, "There is no conflict between being a husband and being a minister, but if there is a conflict, I will play the role of husband." "

This sounded really treasonous, but Gu Xiao just glanced at him lightly, said nothing, and left the home court to Lin Shu.

This was the first time that Lin Shu had expressed her feelings to a man. Although she felt a little uncomfortable in the past few days, things had to be solved. She asked, "Once in the mountains, I met a Dijong man. Did you help me?"

Wu Chong was just wording his words, how could he let Lin Shu know his thoughts in front of Gu Xiao, a living ornament, when he heard her words, he was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."

"I went to Wang Yuan's wife's house for medical treatment. He wanted to do something wrong with me and was injured by me. But the Wang family moved out of Yuyouguan the next day. Was it you who did it?"

Wu Chong nodded, "Yes."

He killed half of his life and kicked the root of his trouble. The coward was too frightened to stay in Yuyouguan anymore.

"During the time when my father passed away, Aunt Yao brought me food from time to time. Was it your arrangement?"

Lin Shu actually already had the answer in her heart. She had never thought of him before. Ever since she read Xie Jiu's letter and knew that he had always been behind her, she found out all the things that she had found strange before.

"Yes." This was Wu Chong's first time dealing with Xiao Wang, and it was also his first time to face Lin Shu like this. His face was calm, but his hands under the table were clenched and loosened, and then loosened again. Hold on tight, I have never felt so nervous in my life.

Following Lin Shu's question, he felt like a shadow that could not see the light. In fact, during those years of exile, he had been working as a spy for the emperor. He was indeed a person living in the shadows.

He was suddenly a little afraid that Lin Shu would accuse him, why didn't he appear in front of her openly, but secretly snooped and followed.

Lin Shu lowered her eyes and saw his restless hands. After a moment of silence, she said, "If it were before, I would definitely agree to marry you."

Previously, she did write a letter to Xie Jiu, saying that if she had to join Cao Mansion, she would rather marry Wu Chong.

"But now I have my brother and sister-in-law to protect me. They said that if I am not the one I like, I will not marry until I find the person I like."

The calmness on Wu Chong's face could no longer be maintained, and his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave. He looked at Lin Shu in a panic, "I can wait..."

"Thank you for protecting me all these years." Lin Shu saw his expression in her eyes and said bluntly without any intention of teasing, "But I don't know you well. Life is a long time and many people have never met before. , you can live a lifetime after getting married.

But my brothers are willing to rely on me, so I don’t want to let down their good intentions, let alone live my life in chaos.

If you are willing, we can try to get in touch, maybe I can understand you better, or maybe you find that I am not suitable to be your wife, so as to avoid becoming a resentful couple in the future. "

She remembered that Xie Jiu recognized her brother at that time, and then bravely pursued her love. She did not have stunning looks, and her personality was not pleasant. Before Xie Jiu appeared, she could not even make friends.

She was grateful and a little touched by Wu Chong's silent protection for several years. She wanted to give herself a chance and give Wu Chong an explanation. Although the two might not be able to get together in the end, at least they would have no regrets.

Wu Chong said hurriedly, "You are very good, I am willing."

He seemed to see a glimmer of light again in the darkness, that was hope.

"Well, then you go back first." After Lin Shu said those words boldly, he caught a glimpse of Gu Xiao's slightly raised lips, and he felt shy after realizing it.

"Okay." Wu Chong was not a good talker at first. After hearing the words, he really stood up and walked to the door with hands and feet. Then he turned around and said, as if remembering something, "I have no relatives and no family. The Nine Clan It’s just me, and some things are not difficult to choose from me. Whatever you like and want to do, you can still do in the future.”

"What he means is that he can stand in your camp for Lin Shu, is that what he means?" After Wu Chong left, Lou Qi, who happened to hear outside, touched his chin and asked.

Gu Xiao nodded, that’s what he meant.

Lin Shu was a little startled, how could she be so good?Good enough for Wu Chong to choose her between his future and her.

Lou Qi thought thoughtfully, "This old man can talk better than us."

I am willing to do something to implicate the nine clans for you. Even though I am the only one left among the nine clans, the woman was not moved after hearing this. Didn't Lin Shu, who had always been cold and cold, blush.

He is better at coaxing his wife than him. Otherwise, let's get them to join their camp. Maybe we can discuss it together when we become brothers.

Gu Xiao glanced at him, "I'm one year younger than you."

It's just that his appearance is not as good as Lou Qi's, and his skin is a bit darker, so he looks older than Lou Qi. But then again, how many people in this world can match Lou Qi's looks?Except for him.

Jiu'er once said that he is the mountain snow lotus that looks like a banished immortal, and Lou Qi is the ghost flower on the Huangquan Road. Although it is beautiful, it looks dishonest.

Thinking of Jiu'er, he got up and walked out of the house.

Xie Jiu returned to Xie's residence today to deal with the affairs of Jiuxiao Pavilion. He entered the palace earlier and could pick her back up when he left the palace.

*

After the emperor had breakfast with the queen, he returned to the imperial study on the pretext of being busy with government affairs.

Today is the wedding day of the third prince. He has to be so busy that he has no reason not to be present.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Debao came to report, Gu Xiao came.

Seeing the healthy man striding into the royal study, the emperor twitched the corner of his mouth. The third prince was happy for him today. If he walked into the palace with such a swagger, the queen would probably go crazy when she found out.

I just don’t know, what is the reason for someone who never enters the palace on his own initiative to come to the palace today?

Gu Xiao didn't give him time to guess, and asked bluntly, "Was the mother-in-law really pregnant back then, or was she infected with a pregnancy bug?"

"You..." The emperor didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and his brain was buzzing.

"I want to ask for an answer. If you don't want to tell me, I will check it out. It just takes a little more effort."

The emperor knew that if he could tell it, he would really investigate it. That was what he didn't want to see. He calmly said in a low voice, "What are you going to do with the things that happened in the past many years?"

Gu Xiao stared at him with eyes like an ancient well. For a long time, he asked, "Whose child is that?"

He had already seen the answer on the emperor's face. The mother-in-law was really pregnant that year, not a pregnancy poison, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed to tell her.

The emperor's face was as dark as water, "I said that there is no need to mention what happened back then, and you are not allowed to investigate."

How could he not mention it, that was his mother-in-law, she died because of this, his family broke up because of this, and his life changed because of this. He took a step closer to the emperor, "It's the Cao family, right? It's the Cao family who caused the harm. Concubine, my whole heart and eyes are focused on you, there is no way that I have anything to do with the man next to me, she must have been harmed by someone."

The emperor met his cold, murderous eyes, turned his back, clasped his hands behind his back, and said nothing.

The imperial study room suddenly fell silent, Gu Xiao looked at his back for a long time, "My mother-in-law will miss you until her death, and she will think that the child is yours until her death.

How did the Cao family harm their mother and concubine without her noticing?Are you involved in this?Or is it simply your plan? "

"Shut up." The emperor was suddenly furious. He grabbed Gu Xiao by the collar and dragged him to the back bedroom. He twisted a faucet on the bedside and dragged him into a secret room before releasing him.

I don't know whether he was angry, or he was suddenly tired from exerting himself after so many years of pampering. He panted heavily and sat down holding on to the armrest of the chair in the secret room, with veins popping out on his forehead.

He saw that Gu Xiao was still standing there looking at him as he came in, and smiled bitterly, "You are as stubborn as you were when you were a child."

He pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down, I'll tell you when you sit down."

He knew that if he didn't say anything today, Gu Xiao would try his best to investigate what happened back then after leaving the palace, which would ruin his plan. Seeing Gu Xiao sitting down, he didn't know how to speak out.

Finally, there was another wry smile, "If I didn't have that child, I think I could continue to live with your mother and concubine, but she happened to have one.

At that time, too many things happened in the capital, and people were panicked. I was also anxious and uneasy. I was worried that the disaster would affect our palace, and I wanted to understand the situation at the time so that I could protect myself.

So, someone invited me to have a drink, and I thought I might be able to find out something from him, so I went. I wanted to get him drunk, but he got him drunk instead. I didn't wake up until the early morning, worried that your mother-in-law would be angry. Secretly returned to the house through the small door, but didn’t want to..."
