The general was a starlet

It has been several months since he came back from the battlefield, but Su Wanxi still has nightmares from time to time, dreaming that he is holding a sword and swinging at the soldiers from the country who are rushing towards him, dreaming that those who were killed by him are surrounded His side called him to pay for his life...

He could smell the pungent smell of blood every night, and he could hear the roar of killing enemies every day. He wanted to find someone to talk to, but he didn't know who to talk to.

In the eyes of others, he is Su Qinglin's son, the general guarding the city on the battlefield, and the successor Marquis of Zhen'an, but only Su Wanxi knows that he was originally just an ordinary man who dare not even kill a chicken of modern people.

He does not regret going into battle with a sword to avenge his family. What he is afraid of is that he made a perfect excuse for such a murder. In that year, he was immersed in his identity as the general who defended the city, and felt innocent. , even excited; now he is lying on the familiar bed, smelling the scent of crabapple flowers outside the window, drinking the freshest tea, eating the cleanest meat, the sense of guilt surges over him, causing him to be crushed to pieces.

He often wandered around every corner of the Su Mansion, nothing had changed, the flowers planted by his mother were taken care of carefully, his father's martial arts training ground was also cleaned every day, Shen Changying's room was even tidier than when he was here, and the things he once loved All kinds of novelties were put into a big box and weighed down so that they would not fall into dust.

He looked at the strange servants eating tasteless meals alone. This place that once gave him infinite warmth became quiet and cold.

Gu Ziming tried his best to make Su Wanxi stay in the palace for a while every day. Every morning, he would call Su Wanxi to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. From military affairs to government affairs, he would even discuss with him about Gu Zijing's marriage. , he wanted to be like Su Wanxi before, forget everything that happened during the period, and just pretend that everything was still where it started.

But he found that nothing can go back, neither time nor them.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave. As for King Jing's marriage, let's discuss it after King Feng returns."

Gu Ziming thought he was used to the alienated tone and the blunt nickname, but every time he heard it, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother, why don't we go to Baiweitang together, I heard that their house has a new dish, so ask Shang Zijing to come with you." Gu Ziming looked at Su Wanxi, full of expectation.

"No, I'm a little tired."

Gu Ziming pulled Eunuch Qi beside him and asked, "Eunuch, what should I do to make him look like before?"

Eunuch Qi couldn't answer this question either, and no one knew the answer to this question.

Gu Zijing came to Su's residence with a lot of good wine and food, and sat in his yard and started eating without caring about Su Wanxi. Su Wanxi sat next to him and looked at him enviously.

"I said, Young Master, with your eyes, I would think you've taken a fancy to me." Gu Zijing clasped his hands to his chest, looking inviolable.

Su Wanxi chuckled, he raised a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, "King Jing, it seems that you are the only one in the whole world, and you still call me Young Master."

Gu Ziming picked up a chicken leg, and muttered, "I can't change it after getting used to it, hey, you can drink lightly, you should be drunk in a while."

Gu Zijing stopped him from drinking one cup after another, and Su Wanxi said, "It's not the time for you and Changying to drink secretly. If you two didn't run out to play wild, Changying wouldn't drink too much." As for being your brother's bodyguard for so long..."

As she spoke, Su Wanxi felt her face was icy cold, and the tears kept rolling down from her eyes, and she couldn't stop and couldn't wipe them away.

"It would be great if Changying could always be your brother's bodyguard. You know, my clothes are all torn and I don't have any new clothes to wear. Now I can carry a sandbag and run around Su Mansion ten times without anyone daring to punish me." I can't eat sauced bones anymore..."

Su Wanxi was drunk, he felt that he was standing under the abyss, and then a pair of strong hands pulled him out, and then together with him, he fell into a bottomless darkness.

It was already early in the morning, he opened his eyes, and he was still lying on his bed, his eyes were sore, and his head was a little swollen, Su Wanxi was surprised that he didn't fall asleep on the floor, it was a rare thing.

It was already past the morning time, so he called his servants and asked them to apply for leave from the palace, but the servants told him that when King Jing left yesterday, they said they would ask for leave for him.

Su Wanxi continued to lie on the bed, took out the Ye Mingzhu from her arms and held it in her hand to play with. He always felt that there seemed to be someone beside him last night who kept whispering and crying in his ear.

Subconsciously looking at his shoulders, he could vaguely see some traces of being wet, and called people in again, asking: "Apart from King Jing, who else came here yesterday?"

"No, it's King Jing. After you passed out, King Jing left."

Su Wanxi nodded and let him go about his own business.

Gu Ziming only returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation an hour earlier in the morning. Eunuch Qi looked into his red eyes, and just about to ask, Gu Ziming stopped him: "Change clothes, go to court."

Eunuch Qi swallowed his words again. He knew that Gu Ziming was looking for Su Wanxi. Although he didn't know what happened, it was not a good thing anyway.

Gu Ziming finished his morning court absent-mindedly, and with the help of Chu Jingshu, the follow-up arrangements for Liguo have been settled, and now Liguo has become Chu Jingshu's fiefdom.

The state affairs are over, and now the civil and military officials are worried about Gu Ziming's heirs. The major issue discussed every day is to let Gu Ziming and Chu Jingshu give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible. Gu Ziming knows that there is Chu Jingshu's handwriting here.

Back then he promised Chu Jingshu to give her a child, but at that time it was not because of Su Wanxi's antidote. Now that Su Wanxi is fine and the Xiaoyu that Chu Jingshu placed is dead, Gu Ziming will not fulfill his promise. He can keep Chu Jingshu One life is already his greatest tolerance.

"Nothing to leave the court." Gu Ziming left before the people below finished chattering.

The people below all sighed, their emperor is good at everything, but he refuses to talk or listen when he mentions the selection of concubines and heirs.

At night, when Chu Jingshu came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she dismissed Eunuch Qi and put the medicine in front of Gu Ziming: "Your Majesty, you have had no less than ten seizures this month, right?"

Gu Ziming hummed without looking at her.

"Why did you give the medicine to Su Wanxi in the first place? It's fine if he remembers you well, but he doesn't even know about it. Why do you say you..."

"Go away if you have nothing to do." Gu Ziming gave her an annoyed look.

Chu Jingshu is no longer that virtuous look, she said viciously: "Gu Ziming, don't forget how you knelt down to beg me, and don't forget that your life is still in my hands .”

"Of course I remember, haven't you always been the queen? You are the only one in Nuoda's harem, except for the empress dowager."

"you…"

"Let me tell you, Chu Jingshu, you can no longer threaten me with Su Wanxi. If you want to spend the rest of your life well, just be your queen and guard your town. I really think that you have done those things. Does no one know? The nanny you think you have killed, I serve you with good food and drink."

Chu Jingshu looked at Gu Ziming in disbelief, no matter what she thought, she couldn't put Gu Ziming's face on the person who was kneeling in front of her.

"You, aren't you afraid that I won't give you the antidote? You wrote the imperial decree back then. After you die, Lang An will be mine." The more Chu Jingshu said, the calmer she became. She still has a trump card...

"If you weren't threatening me again and again, I would have wanted to die a long time ago. As for the imperial decree, Queen, you should go back and take a good look." Gu Ziming looked at her with a half-smile: "Thank you Queen for the medicine."

Chu Jingshu hurriedly ran back to the dormitory, took out her trump card, and read it carefully many times. Finally, she found that her name was not on the back of the queen, and the queen's emperor character was also pasted on the back. Open, the Queen Mother's word "Tai" seems to be shining brightly.

She laughed, making her sad, thinking that she had everything in her hands, but in the end she was just a clown.

"Gu Ziming, Gu Ziming, you are cruel."

She knew that if she wanted to keep her position as queen, she had to keep Gu Ziming alive.She also finally understood that Su Wanxi is not only Gu Ziming's weakness, but also a sharp thorn that can make him compete with everyone. Whoever wants to pull out this thorn must be prepared to die together.

Gu Ziming learned this method from Su Wanxi. When Shen Changying failed to complete the homework assigned by the teacher when he was studying in the Hall of Scholars, Su Wanxi put Shen Changying on his name. distinguish.
