Rebirth of marriage

Xie Jiu changed from his usual soft and graceful appearance. Now his eyes were sharp and his face was full of determination.

Gu Xiao looked at her.

After a moment, he pinched her face and said softly, "Girl, just live a good life, don't make it too difficult for yourself."

He didn't want to get involved in that country, but that didn't mean he would be kind to his enemies, so there was no need to drag her, a fragile woman, into it.

They had racked their brains over the years to kill him, but he had never made it easy for them.

Xie Jiu suddenly stood up and leaned over to look at him, "Gu Xiao, I'm not very good at the moment, but one day I can protect you, so don't look down on me."

This was the second time she called his name. The first time was when she threw herself completely at him and called him for help, but this time she said she wanted to protect him.

The contrast between before and after was so great that it shocked Gu Xiao's heart.

He was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips. To this day, the first person who said she wanted to protect him was actually a little woman, a little woman who just a few days ago said she wanted him to rely on her.

He pulled her down, held her in his arms, lowered his forehead to hers and smiled, "I have not looked down upon you, I am waiting for you to protect me."

He was a little touched in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously.

Xie Jiu struggled out of his arms again, looked into his eyes and said, "My parents used to love me and pamper me, but I have no pursuits, I am not familiar with the world, and I have nothing to offer.

Later, my father couldn't protect me, and I didn't have the ability to protect myself. He had to find a marriage for me in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, hoping that they could protect me, but God's fate is not as good as mine.

I know that you will protect me if you promise to be my support, but I also want to grow. This time I want to avenge you, you should treat it as an opportunity to train me. You will be behind me whether I succeed or not. You let me try, OK? "

Gu Xiao gradually stopped smiling, he was determined to protect her.

At present, the one on the dragon throne is still there, and the queen and others can only assassinate him secretly. He can avoid it and then fight back.

But how long can the one on the dragon throne live?

When there is a new person on the dragon throne, the emperor gives an order. If you want me to die, I have to die.

He had already taken life and death lightly, but Xie Jiu was still young, she was beautiful and a prisoner, and without him to protect her, could she live the rest of her life peacefully.

Xie Jiu saw that his eyes were slack and said softly, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, Gu Xiao, just promise me."

"How dare you call me by my first name?" Gu Xiao scratched the tip of her nose. Instead of being angry, there was a faint smile in his eyes, which was regarded as acceptance.

Only then did he tell Xie Jiu that the person who assassinated him this time was sent by his uncle Cao Shoufu. Those assassins had been lurking in Yuyouguan for some time. They learned that the old censor and his wife had a close relationship with him, so they wanted to kidnap them. Ambush him.

"You can temper yourself if you want." Gu Xiao said quietly, but there was a sharp edge in his eyes, "But you need to understand that your status and strength are very different at the moment. If you provoke him, he will kill you as easily as crushing an ant. , so we need to plan step by step on how to accomplish this without exposing ourselves."

He had little experience raising a woman for the first time, and previously thought that as long as he prepared enough money for her, she would be able to live a stable life.

But Xie Jiu reminded him that if he didn't have the strength, no matter how much money he had, he could only do like his father, who spent money to seek shelter for her, but ended up in exile.

She longed to be strong, so he trained her and supported her, so that at least she would have some ability to protect herself in the future.

"I understand." Xie Jiu obeyed and lay back beside him.

She didn't want to explore what their relationship was, she just needed to know that the two old men cared about him.

But she couldn't help but think about the person who hurt him. Practicing her hands was just rhetoric, but avenging him was the truth.

Regarding Cao Shoufu, she really knew how to proceed.

In her previous life, during the snowstorm and cold epidemic, several members of the Yang family were also infected. It was she who asked Gu Xiao for medicinal materials. Not only did she save the Yang family, Boss Yang also used these medicinal materials to please Cao Shoufu and his son.

Cao Shoufu was in power and had countless women in his backyard, but he only had one son, Cao Chengwang, and the whole family pampered him like a baby.

Cao Chengwang was so pampered that he was so bold that he got tired of playing in the capital, so he was encouraged by his servants to join Dirong to hunt snow foxes.

The son of a powerful official in the Great Xia Dynasty had been playing in other countries for a long time without returning to the capital. Cao Shoufu sent people to find him home many times without success. He was also very worried about such a precious single seedling, so he had to disguise himself and secretly leave the capital and go to Dirong to pick him up in person. son.

When they passed through Yuyou Pass from Dirong, they were trapped in Yuyou Pass during heavy snowfall and contracted the cold epidemic. They happened to be rescued by Boss Yang.

The fact that she was kind to the chief minister of the dynasty made the Yang family proud and would talk about it at home from time to time, and she knew about it.

Xie Jiu clenched her fists. Judging by the time, Cao Chief Fu was still looking for his son in Di Rong, so she still had time to make plans.

Before that, she needed to get her feet healed quickly.

Soon, Lin Shu brought the medicine, and each of them took a bowl. Xie Jiu looked at the brown soup and subconsciously gritted his teeth to resist.

But thinking about the upcoming arrangements, I couldn't do anything due to my poor health, so I gritted my teeth and poured it into my mouth.

As soon as the bowl was put down, Gu Xiao stuffed a candy into her mouth.

He remembered that she didn't like taking medicine, and she didn't know where to find candy.

After drinking the medicine, the two of them didn't look for a bed to move, they just lay on the same bed. When Xie Jiu held the man's hand, they had a feeling that it was hard to be a husband and a wife, but the years were quiet, and the corners of their mouths curled up as they thought about it. .

Seeing that Xie Jiu had barely rested last night and had a high fever again, Lin Shu put a heavy soothing ingredient into the medicine, and Xie Jiu fell into a deep sleep not long after.

When he woke up in the evening, Gu Xiao's figure had disappeared next to him. Xie Jiu felt sorry for him because he was injured and had to move to another place after only one day of recovery, but he also knew that the conditions were better in the palace.

And he has things to be busy with.

He looks cold-hearted, but he has done a lot of practical things for Yuyouguan over the years, and he really cares about the people. The snowstorm is coming soon, and then he will have to do a lot for Yuyouguan again. The people of Guan were running around.

"The prince asked me to tell you that he will come to see you when he is free, so that you can have a good life." Lin Shu said with some relief, "He even massaged your feet for a while before he left. I was a little worried that he didn't pay enough attention to you. .”

Now I feel that I am worried more than necessary.

Gu Xiao has a distinguished status and does not have any airs of a prince when taking care of Xie Jiu.

Lin Shu couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene when the old censor and his wife saw him pressing Xie Jiu's feet, and their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Xie Jiu drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep. She had no idea that Gu Xiao was pressing her feet. After hearing Lin Shu's words, her heart felt warm, "Lin Shu, he is really good."

In this comparison, the person who hurt him is really hateful.

Thinking of his plan, Xie Jiu and Lin Shu said, "If Zhi Lan doesn't come back tomorrow, please help me contact the Lu family and ask Mr. Lu to come over."

Lin Shu nodded.

At this time, Feng Wuxin ran in, "Sister Xiejiu, someone is looking for you outside and they are here with a carriage."

When he came at this time, he was still riding in a carriage, but he didn't follow him in. Xie Jiu's eyes lit up, and he probably guessed who it was.

She was helped to the main hall, where she saw Lu Hongyuan who was really dusty.

Just in time!
