General's humble stand-in

The pure white snowflakes stained Gu Yan's ink-colored costume, adding to his coldness and indifference.On the other hand, Xu Tianlei beside him croaked, and he never stopped talking along the way.

"You said that what my cousin did, is that a human thing? Until now, the jade pendant is still under the pressure of Feng Mingxuan, so that I have to avoid my father when I see him, for fear that he will be angry again. A family law."

As she said that, she turned her head and asked Gu Yan, "Did you go to see it? It's that Tao Zhuo who was by your side."

Gu Yan ignored Xu Tianlei's question, and still walked with a blank expression.

Coincidentally, they met Xiao Mu and Xiao Heng, and the four greeted each other.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with each other, it happened that a house slave came over and said that there was a banquet in the main hall, so they went there together.

Such occasions are unavoidable, and the princess Pingnan with a big belly is sitting next to Gu Yan, her eyes are always secretly searching for Gu Yan, worrying that he will covet the beautiful dancer just like everyone else.

But this worry is obviously superfluous, Gu Yan just cared about drinking, and occasionally said a few words to Xiao Mu who was on the side, and his eyes never fell on the dancer.

When the dancers retreated, the music of silk and bamboo pipes also stopped, and it was rare for a while to be quiet, only the guests were drinking and drinking.

Suddenly, the sound of the guqin sounded, as if it came from a distant emptiness.

The melodious sound of the qin is moving slowly, but the person playing the qin is not seen. This kind of mystery arouses everyone's curiosity.

Some guests listened carefully for a while, discussing in low voices, "It's like the new song by Fengmingxuan, Fengming."

Finally, the song was over, and under everyone's expectant eyes, a red figure entered with a guqin in his arms.

The bright red satin cloak is dotted with blooming peach blossoms. It is embroidered with red thread, which is not obvious unless you look closely, but under the reflection of the sun, the gold thread embroidered on the petals reflects the dazzling light. Magnificent and eye-catching.

The edge of the cloak is snow-white fox fur, a pure color without any impurities.The red and white complement each other, making it even more delicate.A red hood covers his face, making it hard to see who it is.

He stopped in the middle of the main hall, lifted the hood of the cloak with his hand, and the blue hair fluttered, revealing his delicate face.The scarlet peach blossom seal on the forehead is a bit demonic.

"Fengmingxuan Taozhuo, I wish the prince a great birthday." The crisp and crisp voice is like the sound of heaven.

Gu Yan shook her hand, splashing a few drops of the wine in the glass, and Princess Pingnan beside her was even clenching her knuckles.

This is also new, that unsavory people in Firework Lane actually came to the hall to pay their respects, somehow they thought the old prince had some bad habits.

Apparently King Pingnan was also surprised, "I don't seem to have invited you, Feng Mingxuan."

"Yes." Tao Zhuo smiled and brushed the gift, "Our master Ling specially ordered to congratulate the prince, and also ordered me to bring a small gift."

Then he turned his head and said to the person outside the door, "Bring it in."

The jade stone carried by four people appeared in front of everyone, faintly resembling the word "Shou".

"This piece of jade is a work of heaven, not man-made. My master Ling said that this piece of jade is rare and that others don't deserve it, so he asked me to bring it to the prince."

If this strange stone is really a good object, the color is transparent and there are few impurities.The only thing is that the shape of the word "Shou" is incomplete, if you don't look closely, it seems that it is missing only one point.If the word longevity is less, the meaning is not very good.

Everyone saw the clue, but no one dared to speak out.

King Pingnan looked at the jade, and asked again after a while, "You just said, who sent it?"

"Feng Mingxuan, Young Master Ling."

Before coming here, Tao Zhuo was still worried, Young Master Ling told him again and again, you only need to mention my name, then King Pingnan will give you three points of thin noodles.

Now it seems that Master Ling was not deceived, King Pingnan really nodded and accepted, and said, "The one who comes is a guest, please take your seat."

Tao Zhuo forehead, handed the guqin in his arms to the person behind him, and whispered, you go back first.

"Father." Princess Pingnan couldn't hold back his anger, and stood up abruptly, "How can such a lowly person who entertains others let him sit down."

Yes, Tao Zhuo is a male prostitute, and she is a well-known male prostitute in Shengjing, half of the people present know it.

Tao Zhuo turned around, his eyes slid from the princess's gorgeous face to her high swollen abdomen.The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile of unknown meaning, "The princess is pregnant with Liujia and it is not easy to get angry. It will be bad if the fetal gas is moved."

I saw that the princess' face changed instantly, turning pale without blood.

"Bitch, do you dare to curse me? Come, someone, drag this bitch out and beat him." His voice was stern, seeing Tao Zhuo was like a thorn in his flesh.

"A-Jiao." King Pingnan raised his eyebrows in displeasure, "Don't be unreasonable. I said that everyone who comes here is a guest and has nothing to do with their status."

Princess Pingnan stomped her feet angrily, while Gu Yan tugged at her sleeve lightly, saying, "Don't get angry and hurt yourself."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the pride in Tao Zhuo's heart instantly turned sour, and the fingers under the sleeves were clenched, leaving a few small crescents in the shape of nails in the palm of his hand.

He picked a corner and sat down. Because of his humble status, he couldn't talk to the people around him.And lowering his eyes to drink, his mind is still stuck in the scene of Gu Yan protecting the princess just now.

After all, she is his wife, but she is just a passer-by in his life.

During the period, two people came forward to toast and talk with Tao Zhuo.

"I'm still waiting to eat the steamed buns you made. It seems that there is no chance." The third prince Xiao Mu actually showed a little disappointment.

Having not seen him for several months, Tao Zhuo felt that he was as tall as himself.After all, he was raised in the palace, no matter how bad he is, he is still a prince.

After all, due to the disparity in status, Tao Zhuo was inevitably a little cautious, and said softly, "There is still a long way to go in life, maybe there will be a chance."

Xiao Mu nodded and sighed, "Yes, the road of life is still so long."

Not long after Xiao Mu left, Xu Tianlei came over.

Like some kind of small animal, he squatted beside Tao Zhuo, clasped his hands together and begged, "Little Tao Zhuo, little ancestor, I beg you, please return the jade pendant to me, it is really from our family."

Thinking of the piece of blood jade that Hong Zhao showed Young Master Ling, Tao Zhuo felt helpless, "I don't have that jade pendant. Although it was sold at my price, the money doesn't belong to me."

"Then what should I do?" Xu Tianlei's face fell down, pitifully.

"Didn't you just use the jade pendant as collateral? Just redeem it with a bank note."

"5000 taels, it's worth more than me. And your Fengmingxuan woman is very fierce, she won't give up even a penny."

If Hong Zhao listened to these words, it would probably kill someone.

No wonder Young Master Ling called him cutie, his pitiful spirit is quite rare.Tao Zhuo couldn't help asking him, "Then Cheng Ziyuan bought it that night, why did you ask you to redeem the jade?"

Xu Tianlei was taken aback for a moment, and finally turned his head, "Yeah, why should I pay him to whore?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized something was wrong, and hurriedly waved his hands to Tao Zhuo to explain, "I didn't mean to insult you, don't forget to take it to heart."

Tao Zhuo smiled faintly, "It's nothing, I was originally a whore."

Looking at the back of Xu Tianlei leaving, Tao Zhuo reckoned that it would be difficult to get his jade back.Hong Zhao's mother-in-law is just a money stringer, she can't wait to lose money's eyes.

Although the banquet was lively, it had nothing to do with Tao Zhuo, and the banquet ended in a dull and boring manner.

Out of the main hall, I saw that the wind and snow had not stopped.The sky was dark, and it seemed to be pressing down heavily on the ground.

"My lord, please stay." The servant of the palace called Tao Zhuo, "My lord asks you to move to the side hall, and I want to talk to you privately."

Tao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, thinking, Master Ling is really amazing.

Before coming, Young Master Ling said that King Pingnan will accept the gift, ask you to talk alone, and ask me how I am.

Sure enough, King Pingnan's first sentence in the side hall was, "How is Master Ling? Is he okay?"

According to Young Master Ling, Tao Zhuo replied, "It's not good, I've been taking medicine all day long, and I'm so weak that I can't even get out of bed."

King Pingnan showed bitterness, and ordered people to take thousand-year-old ginseng, deer antler and other precious medicinal materials to Tao Zhuo, and told him to take good care of Young Master Ling.

Tao Zhuo became more and more curious about the identity of Young Master Ling, thinking that he might be the illegitimate son of King Pingnan, right?

After leaving Pingnan Prince's Mansion, I saw that the whole alley had been blocked by vehicles and horses from various mansions.

I remember he didn't bring a bamboo hat when he went out.I didn't think much about it, the snow is heavy today, maybe it's not long, I saw Xiao Mu and Xiao Heng walking out of Pingnan Palace.The sedan chairs of the two princes left first.

After a while, Gu Yan and the princess also appeared in Tao Zhuo's sight.Tao Zhuo opened the window curtain a little more, and followed them closely.I saw Gu Chan supporting the princess into the carriage with one hand, the princess turned around and didn't know what she was talking to Gu Yan, Gu Yan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly.

The wind and snow hit his face, Tao Zhuo felt extremely cold, even the stove in his arms couldn't warm him thoroughly, the coldness penetrated from the outside to the inside and made his heart numb.

Suddenly seeing Gu Yan's eyes seem to be looking over, Tao Zhuo panicked, hurriedly put down the blue curtain, leaned his head against the car fender, and listened to his own rapid heartbeat.

After about a stick of incense, the road was considered smooth, and the carriage was driving unsteadily.There was a bit too much wine at the banquet, now that the wine was on the rise, Tao Zhuo closed his eyes and fell asleep.

There is no peace in the dream, there is always the back of Gu Yan leaving.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Tao Zhuo was awakened by the jolt of the carriage.Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Tao Zhuo yawned and raised his hand to lift the curtain, wanting to see where he was.

However, when I looked out, I became more and more awake in an instant. I saw the desolate roadside with nothing but white snow, not to mention the houses and no people.Tao Zhuo hurriedly lifted the cotton curtain hanging on the car, and asked the driver, "Where are you taking me?"

"The underworld." The coachman's voice was gloomy as if it came from a ghost from hell.

Tao Zhuo was terrified by this sentence, and wanted to jump out of the carriage in panic, but was pushed back into the carriage by the driver.

"Don't worry, I'll guarantee you a happy death soon." The coachman turned his head and gave Tao Zhuo a sinister smile, but this person was not Feng Mingxuan's coachman at all.

"You, did you admit the wrong person?" Tao Zhuo asked tremblingly.

"Feng Mingxuan's Tao Zhuo, you can't go wrong."

"Then, who wants to kill me?" Tao Zhuo really couldn't remember who he had offended.

The coachman looked back at Tao Zhuo, and sneered, "Gu Yan."
