The doctor said that Gu Junci fainted because of the rush of fire, and when the doctor left the ear room under the tower, Gu Junci had already woken up.

The Princess Qian who jumped off the tower and the young son in her arms were both buried by Huo Situ and the soldiers guarding the city, and carried to Yizhuang.

"Go home when you wake up, there are people waiting for you outside." Huo Situ said.

Gu Junci glanced at him, and listened to him rambling:

"They are all people who have been killed in battles. No matter how you look at it, you still fainted after jumping off the building. I said Brother Gu, when did you become so timid?"

Gu Junci stood up from the chair, patted his clothes and said, "I'm getting older, and I'm not as strong as I was when I was young, and besides... she is not someone else."

Huo Situ looked at him sideways: "Brother Gu, you won't be standing until next year, which means you are old, go out quickly, there are still people waiting for you outside."

Gu Junci patted him on the shoulder, walked out of the ear room with a smile, and looked at the carriage parked outside, especially when the curtain was opened, and the people who got out of the carriage were smiling at him, Gu Junci felt relieved. Outside is unreal.

"Third brother." Gu Junci was a little surprised, and hurried over quickly.

Huo Qingling smiled and hugged Gu Junci who was running towards him, patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Junci just nodded and smiled, and then said: "The letter says that it won't arrive until the day after tomorrow."

Huo Qingling: "I originally arrived the day after tomorrow. I didn't want to see you. We brothers haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, so we didn't stop on the road. Well, just now, I also went to Yizhuang."

Gu Junci was slightly taken aback when he heard the voice: "I promised my adoptive father to keep her, and A Yuan also said that I can keep their mother and son."

Huo Qingling put his hands on his shoulders and squeezed them comfortingly: "Father knows that you value love and loyalty, so he will entrust the princess to you, but father also knows that this is your strength , is also your weakness, about the princess, you don’t have to blame yourself, you have done everything you can, the righteous father believes in you, and will not blame you.”

"Third brother..."

"Okay, I haven't come to Chang'an City for many years. His Royal Highness asked me to continue to inherit the title of King Linyang, and even put Jinling under my jurisdiction. This time I am not only coming to Beijing to see you, but also to enter the palace. Xie En, how about living in your Duke's mansion during this period of time?" Huo Qingling asked with a smile.

"No problem." Gu Junci smiled, turned around and greeted Huo Situ, then followed Huo Qingling into the carriage and went back to the Duke Huguo's Mansion.

Originally, there were some orphans adopted by Gu Junci in the Duke Huguo's mansion, but as they grew older, the older boys lived in the military camp to practice. Although they are young, they are weaker and like to read. So he stayed at the house to study.

Standing on the porch, Huo Qingling looked at the children studying in the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile: "Looking at them, I remembered how I was when I was studying in the palace, Thirteenth Brother, you really look like Yi Father, no wonder he took a fancy to you at the first sight."

Gu Junci shrugged: "Stop praising me, I have prepared good wine and good food, and I have invited a few brothers, we will not return tonight until we are drunk."

Huo Qingling walked beside Gu Junci, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and finally asked: "Will that one come too?"

Gu Junci was stunned for a moment, and after trying to figure out who he was talking about, he nodded solemnly.

Huo Qingling sighed: "I don't blame him for what happened back then. After he comes, don't tell him to be restrained. After all, we were brothers once."

Gu Junci smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely tell Brother Twelfth to let him not be restrained. Third Brother, let's feed him tonight."

The corner of Huo Qingling's lips outlined a smile again, and he replied softly: "Okay."

Sure enough, at the banquet that night, Yan Huai became the object of everyone's drinking, and the banquet was not over until the middle of the night, when everyone was too drunk to get up.

Gu Junci was half asleep and half awake, and he didn't know how he got back to the room. He just felt that in the half dream and half awake, someone took off his clothes and wiped his body. After wiping with warm water, his body felt very comfortable.

Especially the hand that caressed her upper waist was slender and strong, with thin calluses.

Gu Junci opened his eyes dimly, looked at the person lying on his body, and said in a daze, "Why take off my clothes."

"If you don't wake up, it will hurt." The vague figure said.

Gu Junci wanted to push it away, but he couldn't use any strength on his body, he could only be manipulated by the vague shadow, and he didn't wake up a lot until the pain hit his whole body.

Gu Junci stared at Xiao Yuan who was on him, and couldn't help pushing him: "Don't...it hurts, it hurts."

Xiao Yuan pressed his hand, half comforting and half jealous: "Don't move around, or it will hurt even more."

Sure enough, Gu Junci stopped moving, but even so, it still hurts, but after the pain is over, it is the feeling of ecstasy.

I don't know how long he did it. It was already afternoon when Gu Junci woke up, so he had a splitting headache, but it was even worse because his waist was sore and his legs were weak and he couldn't move.

He still couldn't remember how he was brought into the room, and how long he was tossed by Xiao Yuan. Anyway, when he woke up, Xiao Yuan was gone, leaving only red marks all over his body.

Naturally, he can't drink the next wine, he can only use the excuse to keep it at home. When Huo Qingling asked, he could only evade and say that he fell down when he drank too much and kept it from him for the time being.

It was already the beginning of May when Huo Qingling left the capital, and he made an appointment with Gu Junci to meet again in Jinling in the future.

After sending Huo Qingling away from Shiliting outside the city, Gu Junci and Yan Huai went back to the city together. The two of them rode horses, not in a hurry, and swayed slowly on the road.

Yan Huai said: "I heard that His Majesty has found a marriage for the crown prince. His family is prominent and well-educated. He intends to let the crown prince marry into the East Palace to be the crown prince's concubine."

Gu Junci didn't respond at all, but said coyly: "In fact, I should have known that one day, he will be the prince, and he will be the emperor in the future. This harem can't always be empty."

Yan Huai looked at him sideways: "Aren't you sad?"

Gu Junci smiled helplessly: "Sadness is for sure. I definitely don't want him to marry someone else, but he has a different status after all, and I can understand it. If he really wants to marry someone else in the future, I will go far away and never marry someone else." Missing him."

Yan Huai: "Perhaps things are not that bad. Anyway, we brothers are on your side no matter what."

Gu Junci smiled comfortably, but he was not sad because of Yan Huai's mention.

In June of the ninth year of Yuanshuo, Xiao Boxu used his poor health as an excuse to abdicate the throne and let the prince Xiao Yuan choose a date to ascend the throne as emperor. The next year's reign name should be Anping.

But after Xiao Yuan ascended the throne as emperor, he moved to Shangqing Palace by himself and became his carefree emperor.

He ascended the throne and became the emperor, and made Xiao Tai the crown prince. Naturally, the courtiers began to talk about Xiao Yuan's establishment of the queen.

Gu Junci and his group of military generals are not allowed to go to court, so he naturally doesn't know how the court is arguing. He just drinks tea at home and checks the homework of the children in the house.

"Duke, Duke, it's not good, it's not good, something happened."

Gu Junci had just had a sip of tea when he heard Ah Chun's soul-like voice coming in from the outer courtyard.

Gu Junci took a sip of tea but didn't swallow it down, choked up tears, and when he finished coughing, Ah Chun also came in front of him.

"How old are you, and you still act in such a panic when you do things, and when you breathe evenly, I am the Duke of the Protector, a person who is under one person and above ten thousand people, except for everything, I can settle it for you." Gu Jun Ci put down the tea bowl and signaled Ah Chun to speak.

But Ah Chun's eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief: "My lord, don't be scared."

Gu Junci nodded.

Ah Chun said: "I just saw one of Mr. Han's subordinates, he came to tell me, say... say..."

"say what."

"Your Majesty said in the court hall that the candidate for the queen is you, the duke. The wedding dress has already been made by Si Yisi. He also said that no matter whether the courtiers agree or not, the queen he wants to marry is only the duke. My lord, you." Ah Chun said in a softer voice.

But Gu Junci's ears were buzzing, and he didn't know how to think.

Xiao Yuan wants to marry him as queen?

how can that be!

Gu Junci is obviously unbelievable, but just after noon, the courtiers who came out of the court surrounded the gate of the Duke Protector's Mansion, insisting that Gu Junci go out and give them an explanation. , and want to be a queen, it's outrageous.

Gu Junci was also frightened by this scene. Sitting on the steps in front of the main hall, listening to the voices coming from outside the mansion gate, people who are used to seeing big scenes of killing on the battlefield don't know what to do at this moment.

Not long ago, when Xiao Yuan was still the crown prince, he said that he already had a candidate for the crown prince in his mind, could it be him?

Gu Junci sat paralyzed, and had not received any notice from Xiao Yuan beforehand. At this moment, he had no idea how to deal with it.

"My lord, let's eat something first." Ah Chun served the noodles and looked at him worriedly.

Gu Junci raised his head: "Have they all left?"

Ah Chun pursed his mouth: "It is impossible for this group of corrupt civil servants to leave so early, my lord, whether you are the Duke or the Queen, you are my elder brother, I will definitely stand by your side, don't worry. "

"I'm not prepared." Gu Jun resigned.

Ah Chun said: "Why don't you go to the palace to meet His Majesty and listen to what he has to say."

"It's all like this, what else can he say, let him take it back." Gu Junci was a little tangled, "It's hard for him to sit in this position, and if he announces it to the world, he will definitely be infamous. I really can't bear to see it. Something happened. But...but if he marries someone else, I...I'm not happy."

"Then what should we do?" Ah Chun asked, "They are all guarding outside the gate of the mansion, why don't we go out and discuss with them."

Gu Junci shook his head: "These civil servants advise the doctor with a pen, so many mouths, I can deal with them with a sword."

Ah Chun was also puzzled.

Gu Junci suddenly slapped his head and said: "I'll go out and hide for a few days, and I'll come back when the turmoil in the capital calms down." Just do what you say, Gu Junci can't care about eating, so he packed his bags overnight, He took the gold silk bag with him, sneaked out of the Duke's mansion before dawn, and walked straight to the city gate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Junci arrived at the gate of the city, he saw a car parked at the gate of the city, and stopped in the distance.

The curtain of the car was opened, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see who was sitting inside.

"Come here yet, what are you looking at?" The person in the carriage suddenly called out.

Gu Junci was a little surprised, and ran over quickly. With the help of the faint light, he could see clearly who the person sitting inside was.

"Why..." Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan, wanting to ask something, but didn't know what to ask.

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Junci into the carriage, touched the burden on his body, and said: "It seems that you are ready to elope with me."

Gu Junci was puzzled: "What elopement?"

Xiao Yuan held his hand, pondered for a while before saying: "I want to marry you as a queen, but the courtiers disagree, so I want to elope with you."

Gu Junci: "How old are you? Why do you act so hastily and frivolously? It's about the two of us... why don't you discuss with me about the queen's position."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "I want to discuss it, but I am afraid that you will refuse. You are very thoughtful, you want to be with me, and you are afraid that I will make everyone angry, so I can't discuss it with you. I have to tell the world. In this way, you will have no way to retreat." , there is no escape."

"But now those courtiers are still blocking me at the door of my house." Gu Junci didn't know whether to complain or to be pleased, but just looked straight at Xiao Yuan.

He said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I only recognize you as a queen. I either don't marry you, or I only marry you. If you want to leave, take me with you."

"You're crazy." Gu Junci said.

Xiao Yuan responded: "Well, you're crazy, it's worth it to be crazy for you once in this life."

Gu Junci held the burden in his hand, and after contemplating for a long time, he said: "Since you are determined to marry me, then naturally I can't let you take the lead. You go to the mountain of swords for me, and I will go to the sea of ​​fire for you. I won't run away." , I will go back with you and face the courtiers with you."

Xiao Yuan clenched his hand tightly, hugging him into his arms, as if he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Gu Junci sighed helplessly, but in the end he still couldn't escape, but drove back to the palace with Xiao Yuan in a car.

The courtiers were very opposed to Xiao Yuan's male empress, saying that this was unprecedented. What's more, they blamed all the faults on Gu Junci. In order to express their determination to oppose, they even took off their court clothes and wore Su Yi knelt on the square in front of Xuanzheng Hall.

Xiao Yuan was resolute and refused to make any concessions at all. Apart from handling his daily government affairs, he also issued a decree. If anyone delays his duties for this matter and causes problems in people's livelihood, he will decree to punish them one by one.

At first they thought that Xiao Yuan was just talking, but unexpectedly someone was caught by Xiao Yuan later because of a flaw in his political performance, but considering their usual hard work, it was just a verbal admonition.

Because the officials who knelt and admonished could not afford to delay the affairs of various positions, gradually, there were few people who knelt and admonished.

But Gu Junci seemed to have taken root in the palace, and only went back to the Duke's Mansion occasionally, so it was considered to be his home in the palace.

In the winter month of the ninth year of Yuanshuo, Xiao Yuan raised Gu Jun's resignation as the last matter, and the courtiers compromised. They couldn't afford to spend with Xiao Yuan, after all, they still had to receive a salary to support their families.

In February of the first year of Anping, the emperor and empress got married. Gu Junci formally married Xiao Yuan, entered the Jiaofang Palace, and became the only male empress in the Liang dynasty.

…………

The crabapple tree in the imperial garden was in bloom, a rocking chair was placed under the flowers, and there was a small table next to it, and tea was brewing in a celadon tea bowl, exuding the fragrance of tea.

Gu Junci was wearing a calamus-colored round-neck dress with a large right lapel, with his eyes closed, shaking the rocking chair, basking in the sun.

In the corridor, Xiao Yuan was tall and tall in a black robe, with a jade crown and his hair tied up. Behind him was the official who compiled the history books. He asked:

"Your Majesty, I have written the truth about the Minghua Gate Incident, but I still want to confirm with Your Majesty about some things."

Xiao Yuan frowned in doubt: "What?"

The historian asked: "It is recorded in the history books that this Prince Yin...was taken by His Majesty..."

Xiao Yuan loosened his brows, and said very calmly: "That's right, I was shot and killed by myself. If I did this, I'm naturally not afraid to leave a name in the history books. You just write it down."

The historian saluted: "Yes, I know. There is one more thing about Her Royal Highness. I don't know whether to write Her Highness into the biographies of famous ministers, or record it in the harem."

Xiao Yuan stood on the porch, looking at the person under the crabapple flowers basking in the sun leisurely, with gentle eyes, he said:

"Write it into the biographies of famous ministers. Although he is in the harem, if necessary, he will never hesitate to put on armor and go into battle, so he deserves to be the No. 1 minister of my Liang Dynasty."

The historian followed Xiao Yuan's gaze, and after thinking about it, he nodded: "I understand."

Xiao Yuan was very satisfied, and then said: "Also, don't forget to add something to him at the end, even though he is a famous official, he is also my queen."

The historian saluted and said, "I have written it down."

Xiao Yuan dismissed the official historian and attendants, walked towards Gu Junci alone, looked at the sleeping man with his eyes closed, and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead.

Gu Junci opened his eyes: "I heard everything you said."

Xiao Yuan signaled him to get up, but Gu Junci ignored him, Xiao Yuan simply sat on his lap, forcing Gu Junci to get up immediately, with his hips on his hands and said:

"You man, can someone bring another chair over?"

Xiao Yuan said: "I can't."

Gu Junci curled his lips, but then Xiao Yuan grabbed his hand, looked at him tenderly and said:

"I want to sit with you for the rest of my life."

Gu Junci couldn't help laughing: "Go, who wants to sit with you for a lifetime, it's just such a big space, I won't have room to sit if you sit."

"Sit on my lap."

"I don't, get up."

"How old you are, you're still shy."

"I'm not shy, get up."

"Sorry."
