General's humble stand-in

It was almost noon when Tao Zhuo woke up, Tingfeng Building was quiet, only the sound of his broken breathing blew past his ears.

I can't remember how I went back to Tingfeng Tower again, maybe the general couldn't bear it.It's just that Tao Zhuo couldn't feel joy, he just stared at the top of the tent blankly, as if he lost his soul.

There was a sudden pain in the chest, followed by a violent cough.The cough seemed unstoppable, Tao Zhuo pressed his chest tightly and arched his body, his face flushed red from coughing, he had the illusion that he was about to cough up his internal organs.

After a long time, the coughing sound eased, and Tao Zhuo was tortured lying on the bedside and couldn't help retching.

—A medicine bowl was handed to Tao Zhuo, Tao Zhuo slowly raised his head, and saw Chu Tiange standing beside the bed with no expression on his face.

This man walks without making a sound...

"Thank you." Tao Zhuo took it, squeezed his nose and drank the cold soup in one go.

"It's a pleasure for you to drink the medicine." Chu Tiange still had no expression on his face, and said to Tao Zhuo, "When General Gu fed Zikeng the medicine this morning, Zikeng vomited several times, so General Gu could only take a sip of the medicine. Feed it like a candied fruit."

Holding the medicine bowl in his hand trembled invisibly, Tao Zhuo tightly gripped the side of the bowl, his fingertips gradually turned white.

I only heard Chu Tiange say again, "Zi Keng is a little afraid of the decoction because he hates the medicine. I rescued him from the northwest back to Langzhou that year, and he kept taking the medicine every day for two full years, so he recovered his body. So I can't smell the bitterness of the soup."

"What are you telling me about this?"

"Zizhi has had a hard time in the past few years. I think General Gu is the only support in his heart. So, I hope you don't mix their feelings and don't hurt Zizhi."

Once upon a time, Tao Zhuo became a poisonous dagger in the eyes of others, as if he would hurt Mo Zizhi with the slightest movement.But isn't it because of his sudden appearance that he was so injured that his body was completely incomplete?

Tao Zhuo twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a mocking smile, "What are you worried about? Do you think I have the right to intervene between them? You don't, and neither do I. Both of us are passers-by. It's just that you love Mozi Rank is not as deep as I love Gu Yan."

— Chu Tiange, who was face to face with no expression, rarely frowned slightly, as if he disapproved of Tao Zhuo's words, and asked, "What is the depth of love?"

"You must have never confessed your love to Mo Zikeng, have you? Even if your intention of love is obvious, he also knows it in his heart, but the two of you still pretend to be confused together. You can meet all the requirements of Mo Zizhi, and even kill him personally." Send it to Gu Yan's side."

Tao Zhuo paused for a moment, calmed down the pain in his heart, and then continued, "Love is always selfish. You are willing to let go because you don't have that crazy desire to take possession of Mo Zizhi. "

Love someone until death.

Chu Tiange remained silent, as if he was thinking about what Tao Zhuo had said.

"My master, is he alright?" Tao Zhuo asked suddenly.

"Your master?" Chu Tiange didn't react for a moment.

"Shen Feng."

"Oh, the body is fine, but the knot in my heart can't be untied." Chu Tiange asked back, "I don't seem to have mentioned it to you, how do you know that Shen Feng is with me?"

"I happened to see it when you rescued him, thank you."

For a while, the two had nothing to say.

Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo instruments came from outside, and the celebration was extremely joyous.Only then did Tao Zhuo realize that today is the old lady's birthday, and he still has a very important thing to do.

"I'm not feeling well, please go back. You don't have to come to me because of Mo Ziqi again. I'm just a shadow. I've been covered in darkness since he came back. You really don't need to worry about him."

There was an unspeakable sadness in my heart, even though Tao Zhuo was not reconciled, she saw everything clearly.He couldn't catch up with Gu Yan's footsteps even if he chased desperately, but Mo Zizhi could stand still and wait for Gu Yan to find him.

Not long after Chu Tiange left, Tao Zhuo got up, washed himself, changed his clothes, and put the red cloak on his body.

The person in the mirror, with a beautiful face and thin face, is also infatuated with love, and has deep resentment.

Tao Zhuo also imagined that she could still stay by Gu Chan's side, and also hoped that he would still have a little affection for her.But when that kick came over, it shattered all of Tao Zhuo's infatuation, and that slap on the cheek also woke up all of Tao Zhuo's dreams.

Pushing open the door, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes brushed against the pale cheeks, the stinging pain seemed to seep into the bottom of the heart along the pores of the skin, there was a kind of desolation that made people want to cry but couldn't cry.

Tao Zhuo walked in the direction of the music, he wanted to expose the false pregnancy of the princess in front of everyone.Once such scandals become a sensation, Gu Yan has enough reasons to divorce her.Gu Yan will definitely divorce her and then marry Mo Zizhi.

Tao Zhuo paused, thinking that he would risk his life to expose the princess, but in the end he wanted to marry Mo Ziei.But there were not too many doubts, and Tao Zhuo hated the princess to the bone.

The backyard is also deserted today, and the servants in the mansion are all busy in the front hall.

The cold wind passed through the collar, and Tao Zhuo couldn't help coughing a few times.

When he was about to reach Tingfang Garden, Tao Zhuo stopped, and saw Princess Pingnan and Caizhu hurrying towards him.

And when seeing Tao Zhuo, Princess Pingnan also showed a trace of astonishment, but then put on a weird smile that was a bit cultivated.

"Are you in good health? You actually came out of the house." The princess took out her hands from the warm sleeves, and fiddled with the neat hair curtain a little messy.

"You say it's a coincidence, but I was thinking of going to Tingfeng Tower to see you."

Tao Zhuo ignored it, but her apricot eyes showed a hint of vigilance, staring closely at the princess.

"It's my mother's birthday today, I thought about it and finally came up with a big gift." Princess Pingnan covered her lips and smiled very proudly, "Caizhu, show this little bitch our gift first."

"Yes." Caizhu strutted up to Tao Zhuo and took out a water bag from her sleeve.

"Touch it, and guess what's inside?" It's no surprise that Caizhu grew up next to the princess, and Caizhu's sinister smile was exactly the same as the princess's.

It seemed to be shaking like water, but it was viscous and not flowing smoothly.Tao Zhuo had an ominous premonition in his heart, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard an ouch behind him.

Turning around, she saw Princess Pingnan lying on the ground clutching her abdomen, while Caizhu was kneeling beside her to puncture the water bag, and instantly bright red blood poured out and sprinkled on the skirt of the princess' lower body.

"Come on, come on, the young lady has a miscarriage." Caizhu shouted in panic.

Princess Pingnan propped himself up and looked at Tao Zhuo, with a sinister smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, he said angrily like a ghost, "I don't believe you are still alive this time."

A house slave came running in the distance, Princess Pingnan lay down and covered his stomach with a pained expression.

how so?She planned to expose her fake pregnancy, but she beat her up unexpectedly, and was framed for having a miscarriage instead?

Tao Zhuo panicked for a moment, and was stunned on the spot, unable to make any reaction.Until the princess was carried away in a hurry, leaving only the glaring pool of blood.

And when Tao Zhuo was escorted away by the guards, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure in Tingfang Garden, as if he had been standing there for a long time.

The mainstream incident in Pingnan County exploded in the General's Mansion in an instant.

Tao Zhuo knelt in the side hall and heard noisy footsteps outside.Soon a group of people poured in, including the old lady, King Pingnan, and a group of strange but angry faces.

"Little bitch." Suddenly being kicked from behind and fell to the ground, followed by being stepped on the head, wishing to crush Tao Zhuo, "How dare you cause my sister to have a miscarriage, you are impatient Come on, someone, drag this lowly slave down and beat him to death with sticks."

"Your Majesty." Gu Yan's voice sounded, "This is the General's Mansion, and the people are also members of our mansion, so it's not your Majesty's turn to be the master."

I heard that the foot that was on Tao Zhuo's head moved away, and then walked quickly in front of Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, what do you mean, my sister is pregnant with your flesh and blood, and now that the child is gone, you are so unreasonable." Lukewarm attitude? You actually want to protect this lowly slave? I know you brought him back from Fengmingxuan, are you reluctant?"

"I didn't defend, nor was I reluctant." Gu Chan said softly, "But you have to make things clear, and you can't wrong anyone."

"Injustice? Do you mean that my sister had a miscarriage by herself? Do you know that she has been longing to be pregnant with your flesh and blood, and since she was pregnant, she has not dared to speak out, fearing that the child in her stomach will have any accidents. .”

Gu Yanjian frowned slightly and said nothing, even though he wanted to favor Tao Zhuo in his heart, the fact was causing too much trouble.Besides, the child was innocent, so Gu Yan still felt a little distressed.

"Princess Pingnan is not pregnant at all." Tao Zhuo struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from her mouth with her sleeves, and looked at the people in front of her without fear, "She just wanted to consolidate her position by relying on fake pregnancy , I was afraid that I would expose it after I saw it through, so I made a false abortion and framed me."

It was as if a huge wave suddenly broke out on the surface of the lake, and everyone caught off guard, and those who looked at each other were shocked.

"You lowly slave, you dare to frame my sister's innocence." Shizi stepped forward and beat Tao Zhuo more than a dozen times viciously. There was only clear and crisp applause in the room, but no one stopped him.

When he was tired from beating, Tao Zhuo spit out the blood from his mouth, and stubbornly said to everyone, "If you don't believe me, please ask Dr. Shen from Jishitang to take the pulse of the princess. Anyone who has some medical skills can diagnose the pulse of a miscarriage." out."

It is said that Dr. Shen has been clean and upright throughout his life, and others can't believe it.

"Okay, I'll let you understand."

The prince raised his foot and was about to go out, but was sternly yelled at by King Pingnan, "What are you doing? It's not like there is no doctor in your sister's room, it's your turn to look for it."

Regardless of whether they knew about the princess's fake pregnancy or not, once outsiders intervened, it would become difficult.If the princess really had a miscarriage, it's okay to say, but if it's a fake pregnancy, then Pingnan Palace can't afford to lose that face.

Tao Zhuo turned his head to look at Gu Chan, there was begging in his eyes.If you can't find out about this matter, and you do what you did to harm the mainstream of the county, you will definitely die.Tao Zhuo's only hope now is Gu Yan, hoping that he can invite Dr. Shen to come over and restore his innocence.

However, when Gu Yan met Tao Zhuo's gaze, she deliberately dodged away, her phoenix eyes drooping slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"My lord," the old lady said, "The matter is of great importance, and my Marquis is far away from Shengjing and is not at home. I, a woman, am also deeply at a loss. Just please rest assured, the princess is pregnant with the flesh and blood of our Gu family. Do not allow others to frame you."

It couldn't be more clear, the General's Mansion and the Pingnan Prince's Mansion both prosper and lose, so what kind of thing is he Taozhuo?
