split

In the ten-year winter of Huanjing, Prime Minister Gu recovered from his illness and left the palace.The emperor bestowed a thousand taels of gold, fifty buckets of pearls, and a hundred pieces of brocade, and returned to the prime minister's mansion with beating gongs and drums.

Prime Minister Gu's nine years of marriage have yielded nothing, and Princess Chengzhu suddenly announced that she is pregnant. Gu's single line of incense will soon have successors, so how can you not congratulate her?Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor acted very generously.

On the day of the reward, Gu Ji gritted his teeth and put on the green hat given by the princess, and kept his mouth shut.I finally understood what she meant by "you owe me".But even though he understood this woman's thoughts, Gu Ji was never easy to bully.This time, he accepted it without refuting, but he felt a deep chill in his heart.

As Qi Fu said, this is the sincerity of Emperor Huanjing.

Zhu Muyao is high above the sky, with his hands and eyes open to the sky, how could the people on the imperial chair not know if Princess Chengzhu had an affair with someone?

Since ancient times, the grace of heaven has been unpredictable, and the reward of the horse-drawn horses was sent to Gu Ji's mansion regardless of its merits. It is hard to say that Emperor Huanjing doubted the loyalty of the prime minister.

Because Gu Ji knew military generals privately.Because of Chengzhu and Qi Fushitong.

Gu Ji already possessed too much power in the court, which hindered the eyes of those in power.And no matter how much Gu Xiaoshi once won the emperor's heart, after all, he was nothing but Zhu Muyao's discarded pieces of jade.

The thumb brushed over the edge of the missing corner of the bloodshot pendant, and the sharp edge had been rubbed a little rounded, but it still broke through Gu Ji's heart, leaving a bloody hole.

Gu Ji's serious illness has not fully recovered yet, but he bid farewell to the emperor and returned home that day, not wanting to stay in this deserted palace for a moment.

It's just that when the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw the uninvited guest at the gate, Gu Ji felt that there was no room for him alone in this world.

With a faint bitterness after illness in his mouth, he hoarsely bowed to Qi Fu who was standing there: "Brother Qi, don't come here without any problems."

On a warm winter day, the sun was too harsh to open his eyes. He saw Qi Fu smiling at Yan Yan with a clear smile, and said to Gu Ji: "It can be regarded as coming back, let's go, let's talk in the mansion."

Gu Ji stood still, the sun was burning, he felt his back gradually sweating and his heart became colder and colder.

Qi Fu turned his head and saw his sickly appearance that was about to melt into the light, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you leave?"

Gu Ji smiled lightly, and a sharp stream of light flashed across his eyelashes: "A certain serious illness has not recovered, so Lieutenant General Qi should stay away for now. What should I do if I have passed the illness?"

Qi Fu didn't want him to be so low-key, guessed that the green hat had hurt each other's peace, and immediately said back: "It's okay, I brought good things, let's go."

Gu Ji was unmoved, he still stood up straight, and even though Qi Fu staggered him, he only took half a step away, and still smiled lightly: "Brother Qi, I have been ill for a long time, and I am afraid that the hospitality will not be good. Zhou, why don't you come to the door and talk about it some other day?"

Qi Fu took a deep look at Gu Ji. After his illness, his pale lips were slightly pink in the sun, making him look weaker and weaker. His thin body under the fine clothes seemed to be about to collapse when the wind blows. There was still some concern, and he said helplessly: "Alright then, I'll go back first."

Turning around, he ordered the boy next to him to leave the things behind, and casually said to Gu Ji: "Inside this box is the 'Blade Feather' you mentioned to me that day, if you like it, I will give it to you."

Gu Ji was taken aback, and asked, "Blade Feather? Did you get it back?"

Qi Fu smiled, and said: "Then Xie Siluo is still willing to part with Xiao Qiao for the sake of it. It's a long story. When you recover from illness, let's talk about it."

I thought that giving away old things to Gu Ji would definitely give him a good face, but when Gu Ji heard this, he just stopped the boy and said, "It's useless for me to keep these knives, knives, guns and guns. Brother Qi, let's use them."

Qi Fu never thought that this person would be so reticent today, and it would be difficult for him to speak out in public, his heroic brows frowned and furrowed, he suppressed his impatience and sighed, and said in a calm tone: "That's okay, I will Let me take my leave first, and you have a good rest."

The cold wind at the gate was a bit heavy, and even though the sun was shining so brightly around, it still couldn't gather the heat, Gu Ji covered his sleeves, folded his hands a little unbearably cold in winter, and said calmly: "There is one more thing I have to say today. "

Qi Fu had already raised his foot to leave, but he raised his head suspiciously upon hearing this.

"Although the princess is a bit domineering, she never pretends to be a snake. She can bear so much humiliation today, and he will have to make trouble every day. Lieutenant General Qi, have you thought about how it will end?"

Princess Chengzhu does not have the support of her natal family, and the child she is pregnant with is a child without a father. The biggest honor is the promise of the child's father.But how much is the promise worth?At this time, Gu Ji clearly saw through the tragedy of this woman, even though he was also a half-victim, he still couldn't help but say a few words for her.

Firstly, in the eyes of Emperor Huanjing and Qi Fu, this child was already a dead thing.

Second, how much true love Chengzhu casts, how much resentment will be aroused in the future.

This is a debt incurred by Qi Fu himself. Although Gu Ji stayed out of the matter, he finally said this extra sentence because he had been thinking about the relationship between husband and wife for nine years.

Qi Fu sneered, and replied fiercely: "Why did you wrong her? It's your wish, but if something goes wrong, she can only blame herself."

After saying that, he jumped on the horse neatly, raised his whip, and didn't stay any longer.

……

It was the end of the year soon, and the court became more and more busy.As soon as Gu Ji had more things at hand, the chaos buried in his heart faded away.

It's just that from time to time I see the Princess Princess, stroking her unconcealed belly with her bare hands, taking a walk in the prime minister's mansion, and she actually wants to perform "leisurely and contentedly" in the cold winter months, but it's hard for her to look like a girl wrapped in raccoon velvet. Zongzi still kept a reserved and indifferent look.

Sometimes Gu Ji sees her, and would tell her to be careful, and she would obediently agree, and poke her in the blink of an eye: "Husband, have you figured out a name? I'm thinking how about calling me Gu Xiao? Xiao Xiao, who knows everything well. Or Is it an overlapping name?"

Her smiling eyes were full of sarcasm and aggressive hatred, as if the child's surname 'Gu' was a sharp blade as thin as a cicada's wing, coming towards Gu Ji with the pleasure of revenge.

Gu Ji replied lightly: "Just listen to Madam."

Every time at this time, she would hold her stomach and giggle non-stop, laughing so hard that three or two drops of crystal water would overflow from the corners of her eyes, and then she said goodbye happily.It was as if he had come to Gu Ji's place for questioning, just to find a joke.

Gu Ji watched her staggering and was supported by the servant girl to go into the inner courtyard, and felt that she was also a poor person.

Since ancient times, there are only two things about greed, not being able to ask for it, and not being able to let it go.

Since the princess became pregnant, Gu Ji never got any news from the emperor about Qi Fu's movements. Emperor Huanjing seemed to have his own considerations. Given the young friendship between the prime minister and Qi Fu, Zhu Muyao obviously had no regard for the prime minister. Throwing rats.

Qi Fu returned to Beijing this time, saying that he had the intention of rebellion, but there was still no evidence.Qi Fu obviously didn't want to offend Prime Minister Gu, he sent Ren Yu to persuade him to make peace.

So the Prime Minister became a blind man crossing the river. Zhu Muyao on the other side of the river failed to extend his hand firmly to receive his support, but Qi Fu on the other side of the river stretched out an olive branch with thorns. I found my way step by step in the river, and my heart on the way home was disturbed by the rapids, and I seemed to be completely hesitant.

into the night.

Xiao Nu suddenly appeared at the window and sat there, Jie Jie laughed strangely, and said in a [-]-point manner: "I take it as something important, if the prime minister is worried about the efficiency of the slave's work, then you should take the people outside the capital Did you find out the three barren hills? The servants in the province are selling themselves as entertainers, laughing, and selling themselves. What a loss-making business?"

Gu Ji was hiding under the blanket and reading a book, his eyelids were drooping as if he was about to fall asleep, and he reprimanded angrily, "Come in, close the window."

Xiaonu curled his lips, and floated into the room as lightly as if there was nothing. The window behind him seemed to be closed gently by invisible hands, without even a sound.

"Yu'er has already been hooked, what kind of idle mind are you still playing with? Why don't you simply report your illness and return home, just to escape the calamity of the Qi family, and live a happy life for the rest of your life?"

Gu Ji didn't move when he heard the words, his body was tightly wrapped in a velvet blanket, but his eyes suddenly became stern, and he said, "Don't underestimate the enemy, he is not a fake Guan Gong who sings an opera."

"Know-dao-" Xiaonu's drawn out voice expressed his dissatisfaction with Gu Ji's cliché.He couldn't sit still at all, he walked leisurely in the study and enjoyed it.Glancing here, flicking that, and finally asked a pot of green plants: "Huh? Where's the pot of embroidered orchid?"

"beated."

"Hit?" Xiaonu rolled his eyes, knowing that there must be something in it, and asked, "Which one doesn't have eyes?"

Gu Ji looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and expressed that he didn't want to answer.

Xiaonu stopped asking questions, and said to himself: "You are so courageous, the iron embroidered orchid bestowed by the emperor, this is the only pot in the world..."

"Go back if you have nothing to do, don't stand in the way here." Gu Ji interrupted.

Xiaonu didn't feel "in the way of eyesight" at all, he ran back to Ji's side, leaned on his shoulder, and asked as if very intimate and gossip: "Hey, are you really going to slap...?"

The word '咔嚓' refers to talking and gesticulating, and the knife was drawn across Gu Ji's eyes. Gu Ji stretched out his hand to block the tendency of this hand, and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just do it."

Xiao Nu's expression was somewhere between "You are so cruel" and "It's good to praise you for killing relatives with righteousness", and finally asked: "Then what then?"

Gu Ji put the hand that was blocking him back into the velvet blanket, and continued to read without answering.

Xiaonu then stood up straight, his expression turned a little more serious, and continued to ask condescendingly: "Then what then?"

"Then," Gu Ji's thoughts of reading were repeatedly interrupted, and he said angrily, "Then you should go back."

"Tsk," Xiaonu didn't get a satisfactory answer, and finally sighed helplessly: "I hope it's not what I thought."

Gu Ji didn't answer, and closed his lower eyelids with long eyelashes to cover up the hidden scars in his eyes.

Xiaonu thought to himself that he was bored, and said "Farewell", and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The windows were closed tightly, and Linjingzhai was as cold and lonely as ever.
