General's humble stand-in

A faint smell came into the nose, a bit like the rotten smell in the garbage dump.Tao Zhuo tried hard to open his eyes, but it was pitch black.

Where is this?Is it the underworld?

I always feel that there is something squeezing me around me. In the darkness, Tao Zhuo reached out to touch it, but in the end he touched a human face.

In addition to being frightened, Tao Zhuo opened his mouth but did not make a sound.He desperately wanted to push the person beside him away, but the space was so small that there was no gap between them.

"Who are you?" Tao Zhuo asked tremblingly.

The voice seemed to be trapped in this completely dark and extremely small space, muffled and lifeless.

Unable to get a response, Tao Zhuo dared to touch it again, and was surprised to find that the body of the person around him was stiff, and the rancid smell seemed to be coming from this person.

Beside, is a dead person?

Tao Zhuo only felt numbness in his scalp, erect hair all over his body, and a dull pain in the back of his head.

Where is this?Tao Zhuo remembered that he was looking for Mr. Zhao, but he accidentally heard him and his concubine mention the embezzlement of disaster relief funds.Later, someone knocked me out from behind, and when I woke up, I was in this dark place.

"Anyone? Anyone?"

Tao Zhuo shouted in panic, her voice echoed into her ears with endless dullness.

Suddenly shivering, Tao Zhuo thought that he might be in a coffin...

As if abandoned by the world, only Tao Zhuo and the dead around him are left.However, we could vaguely hear cries and calls, but the voices were not clear, as if they were blocked by something.

White flags for the funeral, the funeral is scribbled.

Seeing that the coffin was about to be completely buried in the loess, Zhao Chengwen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the master was smart enough to knock out the cronies next to the fifth prince, otherwise he would be blamed for the corruption.

It's just a pity that my delicate concubine had to be buried with her in order to deceive others.

However, the luck in my heart was like a flash in the pan. From a distance, I saw two steeds galloping like arrows flying away, wrapped in snowflakes and dust.When he got closer and saw who was coming, Zhao Chengwen's legs were so weak that he almost sat on the ground.

The silver soft whip brought a piercing airflow and lashed at Zhao Chengwen's body fiercely. His slightly obese body couldn't resist the whip, and he was thrown to the ground.

"Great General, please forgive me, General." Not daring to lie on the ground and cry out in pain, Zhao Chengwen knelt up nimbly, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, and Taozhuo felt that it was sweet when it entered her lips.

In the past, Gu Yan was not a disobedient character, but since Mo Zizhi's death, Gu Yan has become more and more arbitrary.And the old lady always felt that she owed Gu Zha in this matter, so many things were left to him and not bothered with him.

It's just that the old lady was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, so she attaches great importance to family style.If Tao Zhuo would have recognized it when he first came to the house, but now Tao Zhuo has the status of the number one male prostitute in Shengjing, this is really hard for the old lady to accept.

"Yan'er." The old lady softened her attitude, "Have you discussed this matter with the princess? If she agrees, then I have nothing to say as a mother."

The old lady is very smart, she knew that the princess would not agree to this matter if she couldn't tolerate Tao Zhuo, so she simply pushed it over and let the princess solve it, lest there would be any rift between mother and son.

"Without her consent, I will write a letter of divorce when the child is born, and I will have nothing to do with her from then on."

It was really a thunderbolt followed by a thunderbolt, the old lady who was shocked didn't recover for a long time.

Tao Zhuo also turned his head to look at Gu Yan, not quite believing what he heard.

"You, tell me again." The old lady pointed at Gu Yan with trembling fingers.

"I want to divorce my wife."

After finishing the words, the old lady got up and slapped Gu Yan hard.

"Are you crazy? The princess was given the marriage by the emperor, so you will take a break if you say so? Are you trying to drag our family down to death? And the princess is about to give birth, how cruel are you? Can you say that?" If you say something like this, you will abandon your wife and children just because of such a male prostitute who is overthrown by thousands of people?"

The wanton insult hit Tao Zhuo's chest like a heavy stone, choking all breathing, the unbearable pain.

"It has nothing to do with Tao Zhuo, it's because I despise the viciousness of the princess. Also, Tao Zhuo is not a prostitute." Fortunately, Gu Yan is protecting everything about Tao Zhuo, supporting everything about Tao Zhuo.

Looking at the good son she raised, the old lady was angry, annoyed and helpless.

The matter has come to this point, the old lady had no choice but to make a final concession, "You can marry whoever you want, but the matter of divorce is absolutely not allowed to be mentioned again. Gu Yan, this is my final bottom line. If you still don't comply, from now on You and my mother and child are gone."

Gu Yan was silent for a long time, and finally said something in compromise, thanking mother for her success.

Because the old lady's birthday is four days away, Gu Yan didn't want to wrong Tao Zhuo too much, so she postponed the matter of letting him into the house.

Princess Pingnan probably didn't get the news, so she didn't come to Tingfeng Tower to make trouble.It was rare to be quiet, and Tao Zhuo began to think about how to make her fake pregnancy known to the public.

The sun is warm and warm, even though it is cold winter, it also brings a little warmth.Tao Zhuo stood in the courtyard and looked up at the white clouds floating by, in a good mood, everything is extremely beautiful.

"Young master." Mo'er's little girl ran in from outside, panting, "The general has come down and said he wants to take you out, the carriage is waiting outside the mansion."

"Oh." Tao Zhuo responded, and ran out quickly.

An anxious Mo'er stomped her feet from behind, "My lord, it's cold, you should put on your cloak."

It's just that Tao Zhuo's figure was nowhere to be seen before the words were finished.

Getting into the carriage, Tao Zhuo rubbed his frozen red hands and asked joyfully, "Where are you taking me?"

Gu Yan, who was reading a book, raised her head, looked at his thin clothes and couldn't help frowning, then took off her cloak and wrapped it around Tao Zhuo's body.

"Wear more next time when you go out, don't catch the wind and cold."

Tao Zhuo slipped into Gu Yan's arms with a grin, and rubbed back and forth coquettishly, "Where are you taking me?"

"Splendid Pavilion."

"Restaurant?"

Gu Yan raised her hand and poked Taozhuo's forehead, "I just know how to eat, Jinxiuxuan is the largest silk and satin shop in Shengjing, I will take you to make a wedding dress."

Although Tao Zhuo also wanted to be a little more reserved, she couldn't help but hide in Gu Yan's arms, trembling happily.

And on the eaves beside the street, a red figure followed the carriages and horses towards Jinxiuxuan.

According to the rules, Tao Zhuo is a concubine and cannot wear red, but Gu Yan has never cared about this, and specially picked a bright red brocade for Tao Zhuo.

After that, it is time to measure the size and choose the style, and it is already past noon when the busy work is over.

"General, I'm hungry." Tao Zhuo took Gu Yan's hand and pressed it on his stomach, "Touch it, it's all deflated."

Gu Yan fondly scratched the tip of Tao Zhuo's nose, "Little greedy cat."

At this time, I suddenly heard a trembling voice from behind.

"Feng Xi."

Gu Yan suddenly froze.
