The general was a starlet

Gu Aotian looked at his most proud son, the son he had always placed high hopes on, and asked again: "Ning'er, how do you know that Ming'er will go to the palace with a sword in hand."

Gu Zining calmed down, and said falteringly: "I, I am, just saw that the ninth younger brother went up to the hall with a sword, and was worried about the safety of the emperor, so he summoned the guards..."

"These guards are going out to patrol the city, right? When will His Royal Highness be able to directly command the guards?" Rong Xiaoran said.

How could Gu Zining not know, this incident violated Gu Aotian's taboo.

Only the emperor can mobilize the imperial guards. From now on, he recalled them in the name of Gu Aotian, but now, he doesn't know how to end it.

Gu Aotian looked at the commander of the imperial guards, who immediately knelt down, Gu Aotian asked: "Who told you to come back?"

"Back, back to the emperor, yes, it was the prince who said that there was a rebellion in the palace, so I..."

"Your Majesty? What happened?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Su Qinglin.

"Why are you here?" Gu Aotian asked.

"The commander of the imperial guard sent me a letter saying that there was a rebellion in the palace." Su Qinglin looked at Gu Ziming in his hand and the prince kneeling on the ground, he probably knew what was going on.

"Ning'er, Bai Qina?" Gu Aotian asked.

Gu Ziming looked at Gu Aotian suspiciously, not knowing who the Bai Qi he was talking about was.

At this time, the palace maid of Nianyan Palace ran over crying, "Help, Your Majesty, something happened to Concubine Rong."

But the crying came into the hall, but no one came in.Su Qinglin went out and saw that the person had already collapsed in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Concubine Rong was being held hostage by someone, and the person holding her was the man in black next to Gu Zining.

"Let Concubine Rong go, the crown prince has already been captured, don't hold on any longer." Su Qinglin sighed inwardly, now His Royal Highness the crown prince cannot be kept any longer.

The man in black carried Concubine Rong into the palace, saw the prince kneeling on the ground, and instantly understood that they had been tricked.

He walked up to the prince step by step, blocked the prince behind him, and fixed his eyes on Gu Ziming.

In an instant, Concubine Rong was pushed out, and the sword in her hand was straight at Gu Ziming.

It was the sound of an iron sword entering his body, blood spattered Gu Zining's face, and the smell of blood filled his nostrils.

The person holding the sword is Bai Shuang, Bai Qi's master and the lord of the Baimen guards.

Gu Zining watched Bai Qi who had been by his side slowly fall in front of him, he crawled over with hands and feet, Bai Qi's blood flowed onto his hands, Bai Qi panted heavily, and took out the A handkerchief wiped the stains on Gu Zining's hands.

"Your Highness, your hands must not be stained with blood."

Gu Zining suddenly felt uncomfortable, he could feel Bai Qi's strength weakening little by little, and Bai Qi coughed up a little blood again, he said in a weak voice: "This subordinate is useless, I couldn't kill him for Your Highness. "

With tears in his eyes, Bai Qi took his last breath.

Gu Zining suddenly burst out laughing, he had laughed enough, and looked up at Gu Ziming, "Gu Ziming, it's not easy for you to set up such a big game."

Gu Aotian sat on the chair and asked: "You asked Bai Qi to blackmail Concubine Rong, recall the imperial guards in private, hurt your brother with a sword, and said that all of this was set up by Ming'er, Ning'er, what are you doing? ?”

Gu Ziming knelt down and said, "Father, His Highness must have discovered that the Rong family's army entered the city in disguise, and overthinking it."

"Gu Ziming, stop pretending, you set all this up for me, it was you, Rong Xiaoran secretly met the guards, you let Eunuch Qi send a message secretly, it was all set up by you." Gu Zining was a little out of control. call.

"Fifth brother, the reason why grandpa met the imperial guard was because the imperial guard was a member of the Rong family army and received favor from grandpa. The reason why the Rong family army entered the city was because of acting. I don’t know, but Fifth Brother, how do you know these things?” This was the first time Gu Ziming called him Fifth Brother.

Su Qinglin also said: "Your Highness, this acting is a training method that Quanzi mentioned before, to improve rehearsals for emergencies. The guards went out to patrol the city today to prevent panic." I told Gu Zining exactly what I said.

Gu Aotian looked at Gu Zining disappointed, and Gu Zining immediately met his eyes.

"Since I was a child, what I hate the most is your eyes." Gu Zining's face was a little hideous, "Gu Zijing is nothing, but you give him what he wants; Gu Ziming has ulterior motives, but you let him worship the Su family; As, but he can do whatever he wants, even if he asks the young master of the Su family to serve as his bodyguard, you can make an order yourself."

"But what about me? I studied hard since I was a child, and I wanted to get a compliment from you, but you never did. I did nothing wrong, and everything I did was wrong. You never smiled at me. Look at me. , only the same eyes as now."

"Father, why did you let me be the prince? Since you let me be the prince, why are you dissatisfied with me everywhere?"

Gu Zining roared hysterically, venting all the resentment of the past 20 years.

"I just want them all to die, all to die, so that I'm the only son in your eyes, right?"

Gu Zining knew that no matter how he defended himself, it would be of no avail. He used Bai Qi to monitor their movements, and privately transferred the guards. Regardless of which one, he would not be able to be a prince, so he simply broke the jar.

...

In the dungeon, Gu Zining asked, "Why didn't you tell about Hanjiang fans? Now, I can no longer threaten the Su family."

"It's not necessary." Gu Ziming drank the wine, "In the East Palace, I found an antidote that would last me a year, thank you very much."

"Ninth brother, you put so much effort into setting up this situation, aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out?" Gu Zining glanced at the dark part of the cell, but Gu Ziming didn't pay attention.

"Su Wanxi came up with the idea of ​​acting, and it was Master who told Father. I just took advantage of it, as Grandpa suggested, to let Rong's army participate." Gu Ziming smiled, and then asked: "I'm curious, After Bai Qi died, why did you feel like you lost control? As long as you don't say the last words, you won't be exiled."

"When you were young, you and the tenth brother were flying kites in the imperial garden, and the third brother was at the side sharing cakes for you, while I was lying on the wall of the East Palace and watching you. It was Bai Qi who made me a kite out of tree branches. , play with me in the East Palace." Gu Zining slowly picked up the wine glass trembling, with unbearable pain in his eyes.

Footsteps came from behind, Gu Ziming looked back, it was Su Wanxi.

Su Wanxi passed by Gu Ziming's side, put all the food that Gu Ziming brought back into the food box, put what she brought on the table, and said to Gu Zining shamelessly: "Brother Zining, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He never thought that the exercise he had inadvertently mentioned to Su Qinglin would cut off Gu Zining's future.

His Highness the Crown Prince, who was once under one person, is now imprisoned in this dark prison, waiting to be exiled.

He also never expected that the one who caused all this and used him and Su Qinglin was actually Gu Ziming, it was him, his favorite Gu Ziming.
