The first male queen [crossing]

After cleaning Xiao Yu's body, he changed into clean and tidy clothes.

Gu Junci sat in front of Xiao Yu without saying a word, looking at the lifeless man with his eyes closed for a moment, and finally, his eyes fell on the wound on the top of the head from the temple.

When Xiao Jue heard the news of Xiao Yu's death, she came to cry and was invited back to her military tent.

Yang Junfang brought food and stood next to Gu Junci, and said softly: "Marshal, the coffin will be delivered in the afternoon, let the Fourth Highness return to Beijing safely and be buried in the ground. Your injuries have not healed yet, so eat and drink more medicine."

"Tell me in detail what happened when you saw Ayu." Gu Junci said.

Yang Junfang was slightly taken aback, and after sighing lightly, he recounted the situation when he met Xiao Yu.

On the way back from the front town where the military camp was stationed, there were a few mud puddles, which logically were not in the middle of the road, and as long as they didn’t go to the side, they wouldn’t fall.

However, when Yang Junfang and the others met Xiao Yu, he was kneeling on the edge of a mud pit on the side of the road, his head stuck in the water, and it didn't look like his feet had slipped, something had happened.

Gu Junci listened carefully twice, stretched out his hand to brush Xiao Yu's hair from the sideburns, and said with a frightening wound:

"Did you say that he would be...injured so badly in the mud pit?"

Yang Junfang was stunned for a moment, and said in shock, "But there's no trace of blood around."

"That is to say," Gu Junci looked at him straight from the side, with a sinister expression, "Ayu didn't die in an accident, but was killed by someone. Who do you think it would be?"

Yang Junfang was stunned, thinking about it carefully, and then, Gu Junci waved to him, and carefully ordered what to do next.

After Yang Junfang left the military tent, Gu Junci held Xiao Yu's cold hand and said:

"Ayu, believe in brother, brother will definitely not let the person who hurt you live in peace, I will become his nightmare for life, don't worry, brother will avenge you."

Gu Junci's breathing became more and more heavy, and even his eyes became more and more cruel.

When I returned to Chang'an City, because someone in the court had already heard the news, there was no one at the gate of the city to welcome him, but the atmosphere became more and more heavy.

The mourning hall in Prince Qing's mansion was also set up for Xiao Yu early in the morning. The queen stood guard at the gate of the mansion early in the morning, holding Xiao Yu's coffin and crying and almost passed out. The coffin entered the mourning hall.

With regard to Xiao Yu's funeral, after Xiao Yuan received the news, he started working on it early, and it is now in order.

Gu Junci, who entered the palace to report his duties, presented the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and under Xiao Boxu's questioning, he recounted Xiao Yu's death again, with a calm and indifferent expression, as if the death was someone who had nothing to do with him.

"Look, my fourth brother is really stupid. What kind of person did he befriend, and now he died because of him, but in the end, that person refused to shed a single tear for him. He is really my stupid brother."

After leaving the palace gate, Gu Junci clearly heard Xiao Yan's voice behind him. He stopped walking down the steps and turned around, looking at Xiao Yan quietly with cold eyes.

The breeze lifted the cloak on his military uniform, and the unwashed blood stains showed that he was fierce when fighting on the battlefield. His eyes were cold, like a cold pool. With just one glance, Xiao Yan's back stiffened, but Pretending to be calm, he said:

"Why, does General Gu have any doubts about this king's words?"

Gu Junci ignored him, just looked back and stepped down the steps, and went straight out of the palace.

Gu Junci's carriage stopped outside the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion. He lifted the curtain and looked at the white gauze lanterns hanging outside Prince Qing's Mansion. Even though his expression was calm, he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

Seeing the carriage, the servant hurriedly ran to the carriage, and said respectfully: "General, His Royal Highness Prince Qing said that if the general comes, please come in."

Gu Junci narrowed his eyes and said, "I... I won't go."

The servant said again: "His Royal Highness knows that the general will refuse, so he asked the general to enter the mansion. He has something to discuss with you."

After Gu Junci put down the curtain of the car and remained silent for a while, he got out of the carriage and went into Prince Qing's Mansion. He deliberately avoided Xiao Yu's coffin placed on the mourning hall, but went to the backyard through the small gate, and led by the servant again. Went to the guest room.

After opening the door and entering, there was a bathtub and clean clothes in the room, and the servant who led the way disappeared at some point. When Gu Junci turned back, he happened to meet Xiao Yuan who stopped at the door.

"In my house, you don't have to hide your emotions." Xiao Yuan looked at him straight, and there was some comfort in his words.

Gu Junci was suffocated, and immediately turned away from looking at him: "I'm not sad."

"You regard Ayu as your own younger brother, how can you not feel sad, you don't have to bear it in front of me." Xiao Yuan continued.

Gu Junci stood still, Xiao Yuan stepped forward, hugged him tightly in his arms, pressed his head, and comforted him softly:

"Others may not know it, but I do know that you treat Ayu like a brother. He treats Ayu with the heart of a child. In exchange for your sincerity, he is worth it."

"But I failed to save him." Gu Junci whispered.

Xiao Yuan comforted him: "I heard from Brother Yang that you can't be blamed for this. If you knew that you would save him even if you tried your best, wouldn't you? Ayu... I won't see you blame yourself so much."

Gu Junci buried his head on Xiao Yuan's shoulder, let go of all the worries of the past few days, opened his heart, and cried out heartily.

After venting his emotions, Gu Junci's heart opened up a bit, Xiao Yuan ordered the people in the kitchen to boil hot water for Gu Junci to bathe and change clothes.

Looking at the freshly healed wound on Gu Junci's waist, Xiao Yuan's brows were slightly tightened, with a bit of danger in his eyes: "Does it still hurt?"

Gu Junci shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just that new flesh has grown recently, and it's a little itchy."

Xiao Yuan responded softly, watching Gu Junci's body sinking into the water, and when the birthmark of a phoenix soaring with wings gradually appeared on his right shoulder, he said softly: "When you come back, you should rest well and recuperate."

Gu Junci shook his head: "I have heard a lot all the way out of the palace. The court is arguing over who should be the crown prince. Some people say that the king of Jin is generous and treats people respectfully and virtuously. Most of them recommend him as the crown prince."

"Well," Xiao Yuan replied, "Some people say that I have made great contributions to the founding of the country, and my military achievements are great. When I was appointed as the crown prince, the emperor couldn't make a decision at the moment, so he procrastinated and procrastinated until now."

"What do you think?" Gu Jun asked.

Xiao Yuan thought for a while: "Of course I don't want to let it go, it's just..."

Gu Junci turned around, looked at Xiao Yuan's troubled appearance, and couldn't help but wondered: "It's just what?"

Xiao Yuan opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak, finally he just smiled and said: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how I can get the crown prince."

Gu Junci nodded: "Well, this Xiao Yan has no virtue and incompetence, how can he be a prince, if I need to contribute, I must say it clearly."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded in relief, then got up, and was about to leave when Gu Junci called him:

"Where are you going? My wound has just healed, and it's inconvenient to raise my hand. You... just rub my back."

Xiao Yuan couldn't believe it, pointed at himself, although he sighed helplessly, after taking the handkerchief that Gu Junci handed over, he turned around and let him rub his back himself.

With Xiao Yuan's management, Xiao Yu's funeral was handled very well, and the queen also became seriously ill because of this, and was bedridden.

On the day of Xiao Yu's burial, all civil and military officials went to see him off, but when Gu Junci searched carefully, he found that Yang Junfang and Huo Situ had never appeared.

Thinking about what was arranged for Yang Junfang earlier, Gu Junci felt that there should be some clues in the past few days, so after the funeral, Gu Junci went straight to Yang Junfang's residence, and bought two jars of wine along the way. Reward him.

But when he arrived at Yang Junfang's courtyard, he heard that the servants sweeping the courtyard said that General Huo was also there. Gu Junci became suspicious, and he didn't let the servants tell him, but just walked to the backyard.

"Brother Huo, what do you think I should do? Even the brothers who worshiped can't do this. They are brothers!"

It was Yang Junfang's voice, with a hint of drunkenness. Gu Junci's heart sank suddenly when he heard what he said, and he didn't go any further. He just watched from a distance under the rockery, slightly blocked by green bamboos. Yang Junfang and Huo Situ were out of shape.

Huo Situ comforted him and said, "You're drunk, drink less. Isn't this the general who wants to answer you? If I don't know the general, the Second Highness probably will ask again."

Yang Junfang looked at him, hesitated to speak, and finally had to hold up his head and drank most of the wine in the cheng:

"I... I dare not say it, and I can't bear to say it. You don't know that the general went after Xie Zichong alone in order to avenge Linyang King. Even if he was covered with injuries, he would cut off Xie Zichong's head to pay homage The dead soul of Linyang King, what kind of relationship between His Royal Highness and the General, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that he will be impulsive after knowing the truth..."

Yang Junfang didn't say any more, just drank with his head held high.

Huo Situ also couldn't help sighing: "You say this... what is this called? How can there be such a cruel person in this world!"

"He is such a cruel person, and it's not like you don't know," Yang Junfang said, "When the Empress and the Fourth Highness escaped from Lanling, he even left his biological mother alone. , can you not be cruel? In this case, I dare not say it in front of the Second Highness and the General, so I only dare to say it in front of you, otherwise I will suffocate to death."

clang-

Gu Junci's hand holding the wine jar lost strength, and the wine jar fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The wine wetted his clothes, and the fragrance of wine wafted around.

Yang Junfang and Huo Situ who heard the sound woke up quickly, got up and looked down the corridor, when they saw Gu Junci with a gloomy expression, their faces turned pale with fright.

"General."

Gu Junci walked towards them, stopped in front of Yang Junfang and stared straight at him, letting his eyes dodge, and still asked, "Why didn't you tell me what did you find out?"

"General, don't ask, I will report this matter to the Second Highness, so don't ask the general."

"I asked you to investigate this matter, so I have the right to know, who is responsible for Ayu's death?" Gu Junci clenched his fists and asked with all his strength, "You mentioned it in your words just now, that person is Xiao Jue, right?"

"General." Huo Situ quickly stopped him, "General, this matter is of great importance. We will report to the Second Highness that you are still recovering from your injuries, so you should take good care of them first."

Gu Junci curled his lips into a smile, and Yang Junfang, who was looking sternly in his eyes, thought that he had caused trouble.

Gu Jun resigned: "Okay, you go and report to A Yuan. As for Xiao Jue, I will take his life."
