Rebirth of marriage

Although Gu Xiao didn't care about the country, he didn't care about the royal family and the court affairs at all.

The late emperor was considered a wise emperor earlier, but he became more suspicious as he got older. He did not trust any of his sons, but he hoped to cultivate an outstanding new emperor from him.

He chose a cruel method and let them polish each other into weapons. Although the situation was ultimately beyond his control, he was not so stupid that the Cao family was so rampant that they could cover the sky with one hand.

If this were the case, the Cao family would not have to worry about scheming with the mother-in-law to let him marry a daughter of the Cao family and support him to rise to power. Instead, they would use a child as a puppet, or directly expose their ambitions.

The blood in Gu Xiao's eyes gradually dissipated, and he looked at the emperor with a layer of ice, "You hate my mother and concubine, and you also hate me!"

It's not a question, it's a statement of fact.

He couldn't accept his wife being defiled. What happened to his mother and concubine aroused his deepest inferiority complex, and he hated himself like that.

The existence of him and his mother and concubine always reminded him of his inability to protect his wife and children. Therefore, out of sight, he chose to escape and left their mother and son in the market, leaving them to fend for themselves.

"It may be difficult for you to ascend the throne for the first time, but you are the prince and the new king who has justly succeeded to the throne. The Cao family is accustomed to coveting fame, and at that time it was not as powerful as it is now.

If you are tougher, he may make small moves behind his back, but on the surface he wants to show the world that the Cao family is loyal to the emperor. "

If he was willing to protect their mother and son, it wasn't that he couldn't protect them, but he didn't. He was eager to get rid of the past, and their mother and son were his past.

The emperor knew that his son was smart, but he didn't expect that after hearing such a devastating truth, he could quickly sort out his thoughts and find the flaws in his words.

Perhaps he had stayed with the two idiots Lao San and Lao Si for a long time, and Gu Xiao was so smart that his shame and annoyance faded away.

When he was young, he was very impulsive and eager to prove that he was not the cowardly and incompetent person. To prove this, he would give up everything, including love and family ties. But as he got older, he realized the importance of bloodline inheritance, not to mention that he only had this one.

He knew how smart his son was before, and he just understood it again. If he said some ambiguous words, he was afraid that the relationship between father and son would be even worse. He could only admit, "Yes, I have hated it and escaped from it.

I have been bullied by many people and looked down upon by many people, but finally I sat in that position and could finally look down on them. I desperately needed to be recognized. I wanted to be a wise king praised by the world.

But I have never learned how to govern a country or how to be an emperor. I need to rely on the Cao family's ability, and the Cao family also wants to rely on my support to reach a higher level.

I overestimated myself and underestimated the ambitions of the Cao family. In the third year after I ascended the throne, I regretted it. Rather than being a king, perhaps I should be your mother's husband and your father, but there is no such thing in the world. Regret medicine.

Your mother has gone crazy, and you are no longer the Xiao'er you used to be. We can't go back to the past, and I can't even show that I care about you anymore. That will only bring more trouble to you. "

The anger on the emperor's face faded, replaced by a cryptic expression, "After I regretted it, I sent people to protect you, sent you to the Liaodong Military Camp, and sent you to Yuyou Pass, all of which were my protection for you.

When you were assassinated in Wenyuan Lane, it wasn't that I didn't care about you. It was the queen who asked the concubine to put medicine in my tea. By the time I woke up, it was already too late.

But at that time, I couldn't fall out with the Cao family, nor could I suppress them. I could only deal with the concubine. I was worried that you would be hurt by them again, so I sent you to Yuyouguan. Without my permission, what would you do? Can you take half of the money from the treasury?

Previously, my father was angry with you and caused you to suffer a lot. My father apologized to you, but you are the closest person to my father in this world. Today, you and I, father and son, have said goodbye. There will be no more estrangement in the future. We will deal with it together. Cao family, how about avenging your mother and concubine? "

Gu Xiao closed his eyes, there was pain and ridicule in his eyes.

Now he just needs a helper and an heir. "In public and private matters, the Cao family and I will be incompatible."

As for their father and son's reconciliation, it is no longer possible.

But the emperor just thought he agreed and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, with your help, father and son, we, father and son, can definitely kill this worm in the Cao family together."

Gu Xiao didn't want to pretend to be in love with him, so he asked, "Which Cao family was the one who designed the mother-in-law back then? Cao Zhicheng?"

Having said everything that needed to be said, there was no need to hide it anymore. He said truthfully, "At first, I thought it was Cao Zhicheng. It wasn't until last year, when you exposed Liang Concubine's fake pregnancy and I interrogated Liang Concubine, that I found out who she really was. It is the Queen who designs your mother-in-law."

The emperor thought about his plan and explained, "I didn't know it was her before, I just thought it was Cao Zhicheng, so although I had a false relationship with her over the years, I didn't really make a move against her.

Since I learned the truth last year, I have made arrangements. Soon, she will be able to go down to apologize to your mother and concubine. You don't have to interfere in this matter. "

He harmed her mother's honor and caused her to go crazy and die, which was equivalent to killing her mother. How could he do nothing? He asked, "Whose are her two sons?"

There was shock in the emperor's eyes. He wanted to ask how Gu Xiao knew, but then he thought that he would come here today. He must have known about it before he came, so he swallowed the question and replied, "Although I choose to cooperate with the Cao family , took this position, but the resentment towards them was always there in my heart.

They plotted against your mother and concubine, so I also found a groom with a similar figure to me. To fight tooth for tooth, I couldn't let the Cao family conceive a child of royal blood. I have always reserved this position only for you. "

"You can't let her get pregnant either." Gu Xiao exposed it without mercy.

He actually knew this, and the emperor's eyes grew cold. He thought about who might have leaked this secret, and finally thought of Lin Shu.

After Lin Shu was exiled, he might not still be loyal to him as the emperor, and he might very well tell his daughter this secret. He asked, "Did Lin Shu tell you?"

Gu Xiao looked back at him with cold eyes, "When Dr. Lin was exiled, was there any work from you?"

The sterilization medicine was something that Royal Physician Lin had never made public, but he was able to give it to the emperor, which showed that the two had a good relationship in private.

And since he was the emperor, the matter of his infertility could not be leaked out, and he would definitely have to ask Doctor Lin to help cover it up.

It is said that with such a friendship between the two, Imperial Doctor Lin should not have been framed by Liang Fei so easily and exiled.

Unless there is his participation or approval.

The emperor shook his head, "Father didn't do anything."

Gu Xiao understood. He didn't take action to harm Imperial Doctor Lin. He just watched with cold eyes as he was framed and did nothing.

Also, back then he could even express his anger and abandon his wife and children, let alone just a friend.

Maybe he regretted taking Dr. Lin's sterilization medicine, which caused him to have a harem of three thousand people but could no longer have children of his own. Maybe he was angry because Dr. Lin couldn't help abort the child in his mother's belly, or maybe , he was worried that Doctor Lin knew too much.

In short, regarding the matter of Royal Doctor Lin, he once again acted like a villain and failed to take responsibility.

"Lin Shu doesn't know about this, so don't hurt her." Gu Xiao chose to lie. He didn't want to involve Lin Shu.

The emperor could hear the concern in his tone and said tentatively, "I can grant you a marriage."

Although Lin Shu's status was inferior, she was an innocent girl, taller among the dwarfs, and was much better than Xie Jiu. Once Lin Shu drove Xie Jiu out of his heart, it would not be too late to find someone with a good family background to replace Lin Shu.

Gu Xiao's face suddenly darkened, "Lin Shu is just a younger sister in my eyes, and my wife can only be a thank you for drinking."

"You also know now that you are my only child, and this position will be reserved for you in the future. If the King of Daxia wants to marry a widow, how will the people of the world view you? No, I don't agree." The emperor said in a very serious tone. Determined.

Gu Xiao sneered, "Your consent is not needed."

Xie Jiu is his rival, and everyone wants to break them up.

"When I married your mother-in-law, I also put him at the top of my heart. Now you are young and energetic and think that love is everything. But in the future, when her identity brings you a lot of troubles and setbacks, you will regret it. It’s your choice now.”

The emperor knew how stubborn his son was, and said sincerely, "Father, this is all for your own good. This position is not easy to sit in. Even if your queen cannot bring you help, she must not become your resistance."

"You just asked me what I would do if I were in your original situation." Gu Xiao looked at him seriously and said word by word, "I will never let my woman suffer that kind of harm, and neither will Xie Jiu" Let yourself go to that desperate situation, even if it is true, I will not abandon her."

Boom~

The emperor's pupils suddenly widened, as if countless sharp knives were thrust into his heart. The pain made him furious, "Treason, Treason, I am your father."

Anyone can say he is incompetent, but his son cannot despise him for being incompetent.

Gu Xiao continued, "She wants to be my wife. She may not care about the position you mentioned, and neither do I."

"What do you mean? You don't want this country?" The emperor couldn't believe it.

Gu Xiao's expression gave him the answer. He chose the woman in front of the woman and the country.

But when the emperor chose Jiangshan, he was slapped in the face again by his son, and said angrily, "You don't care about this world, and you don't care about me as your father. Then do you know that if you didn't have the identity of my son, you wouldn't be able to do what you just said." The words I said and your attitude towards me will make you guilty of a great crime of disrespect.

I want to see if Xie Jiu will still treat you as before without the status of prince, and what can you do to protect her. "
