I dare not

The author has something to say: Gu Qiao: You did it!

The next morning, someone came from the palace to pick up Yin Yuezheng. Before she left, she told Gu Qiao to exercise appropriately every day, but not to move too much.

Gu Qiao obediently agreed, and after breakfast, she drew in the room alone.I had an unpleasant quarrel with the third child before, but shopkeeper Xiao couldn't renege on his promise, so he closed the door and secretly painted.

It seems like a long, long time has passed since the last time I painted a erotic picture and was discovered by the third child.

He Fangzhi was sent to prison, and the third child became the prince, and everything was developing towards their intended goal.In the past few days Zhang Qi, Tao Hang, Ma Weiyong, and some good friends from the DPRK and China came to see him, and everyone took turns to congratulate him on his promising future—as the number one hero under the crown prince, he will soon be a prime minister in the future.

Gu Qiao dealt with all kinds of compliments on the surface, but she couldn't be happy in her heart.

He knew in his heart what this meant. Xiang Zenan was the legitimate heir of this country, and the day he formally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it was time for him to return to being a courtier.

Gu Qiao has thought about it many times, whether it is the prince or the prince, he can convince himself that it is their business, but once the third son ascends the throne, everything will be different.Countless pairs of eyes will stare at him, and the housekeepers will record every move between him and the emperor. Even if the slightest ambiguity is accidentally revealed, he, Gu Qiao, will be nailed to the position of Israel's servant for the rest of his life.

What's more... If you become an emperor, you will have a harem, and you will have to spread the branches and spread the leaves to reproduce the emperor's heirs.That's right, if you become a prince, you will naturally have a princess, and if you become an emperor, you will naturally have a queen. This is the law of heaven.

These things were all that Gu Qiao deliberately didn't think about before. He never thought about the future between him and Xiang Zenan. His love for Xiang Zenan can only stay in the present. There is no future, no future, no hope...

I was thinking wildly in my mind, and it didn't affect the smooth outline of the figure's silhouette, but the more the man drew, the more he looked like Xiang Zenan, and the person under him...

Gu Qiao felt a pain in her heart, and threw the pen aside, unable to draw any more.

He crumpled up the drawing paper and threw it on the table. After a while, he still felt tight in his chest and decided to go for a walk.

He went out and went straight to the household department, intending to go shopping with Zhang Qi. He urgently needs to talk to someone to relieve his anxiety and uneasiness.

Zhang Qi was checking the accounts, and while setting up the abacus, he said solemnly: "I'm busy! It's not in the office yet, how can I go out for a stroll?"

"What are you serious about? Didn't you often sneak out with just a click of a dick?"

Zhang Qi paused, dissatisfied: "How can it be called prudence? His Royal Highness has just entered the East Palace, and we will all be people who want to do great things in the future!"

Gu Qiao still wanted to grind him, but Zhang Qi drove him out by waving the ledger in his hand.

Gu Qiao was a little depressed. The Ministry of Criminal Justice was jointly handling the case with Dali Temple during this time, and it was also a time when chickens were flying around. Tao Hang definitely didn't have time to accompany him.Ma Weiyong of Shang Shusheng...Forget it, Shang Shusheng is next to the palace, don't be caught and go back to work.

Walking alone on the street for a while felt a little boring, the street was no different from a month ago, the small vendors on both sides were still the same people, and they still sold the same things.It doesn't seem to have much influence on which court official is imprisoned or who becomes the prince. As long as the Hao Kingdom is not destroyed, the capital seems to be the most reliable place in the world.

After a stroll to Guoguang Temple, there was a circle of people around the open space at the entrance. Gu Qiao saw Chang Feng competing with another monk through the gaps in the crowd, and the crowd burst into applause from time to time.After standing and watching for a while, I realized that it was Chang Feng who was teaching the monk kung fu, correcting and instructing him move by move while beating.

Gu Qiao didn't understand this, but it didn't prevent him from reading it with gusto.Suddenly felt that the sleeves were tight, and looking back, it was Chang Ling who was pulling his clothes with a smile.

"Master Chang Ling." Gu Qiao smiled.

"Has your injury healed yet? Did you come to see Senior Brother?"

"No, I'll walk around casually, where is Master Fazhang?"

Chang Ling's eyes fluttered, and he said unnaturally: "Master and Chang Huan went to the free clinic."

Seeing her like that, Gu Qiao knew that she was being lazy again, and teased, "What about you? Learn martial arts from the elder brother?"

"I've finished all the homework that Master assigned me!" Chang Ling said aggrievedly, "Brother promised me that he would take me out to play after I finished my homework. I've been waiting for him for a long time! I fought with this one and then with that one." Fight, if all the monks in this monastery come to fight again, don’t even think about going out today.”

"Then I'll take you to play, will you go?"

Chang Ling's big and watery eyes flashed surprise, "Okay!"

Gu Qiao grew up in this capital city, he knows where there is fun and delicious food, so it is not a problem to coax a little girl.

The two ate and played, and walked around for more than an hour.Gu Qiao was in a good mood, he would buy whatever the little girl wanted.

After walking two streets, Chang Ling's arms were full of food, such as shortbread, bean paste cake, fried chestnuts in sugar, fried bean cakes, and candies of various flavors, so he could free up two fingers to pinch Live a candied haws.

Monks pay attention to avoiding appetite, where did Chang Ling eat so many snacks.Even if he goes out with his big brother, he can only occasionally get a small packet of maltose when he behaves well, and he has to save it for food.

Happiness came so violently that Chang Ling was a little overwhelmed.

Gu Qiao ate fried chestnuts from the paper bag in her arms while walking, Chang Ling couldn't bear it anymore, "Gu Qiao, let's go back to Prince Yu's Mansion."

"Oh? Don't want to go shopping anymore?"

Chang Ling swallowed, "I want to eat too."

Gu Qiao laughed loudly, and didn't mean to help her get things, "Then go back!"

Chang Ling is an outspoken little girl, she finds anything fresh when she tells her anything, but when Gu Qiao made up lies to lie to her, she also opened her eyes wide and said, so it is so!

Gu Qiao thought it was fun and teased her along the way, the two talked and laughed back to Prince Yu's Mansion.

When passing the Linhu small building, Gu Qiao saw Yu Wang sitting alone by the window on the second floor. He was not covered with white gauze today, and his eyes looked like ordinary people.

Arriving at the west courtyard where the guest room is located, Wu Heng was standing by the archway talking with a guard of the palace. When Wu Heng saw him, he clasped his fists and said, "Gu Shiyi, the crown prince is here."

Gu Qiao was overjoyed, and the sour mood when she went out suddenly turned into joy because she would see him soon.

He walked quickly across the courtyard and stopped at the door.

The third child was leaning on his bed, holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand...

Isn't that the half-drawn picture in the morning? !

Gu Qiao was shocked, turned her head and left, bumped into Chang Ling who was walking behind, and all kinds of snacks fell to the ground.

Chang Ling said angrily, "Gu Qiao, what are you doing!"

It was too late for Gu Qiao to cover her mouth, Xiang Zenan's voice came from behind: "Are you back? Was it fun?"

Gu Qiao swallowed, turned around and said, "Uh, I'm back, it's fun."

Xiang Zenan pulled Gu Qiao over and dragged him into the room. He closed the door and said, "I have something to discuss with Gu Shiyi."

Chang Ling, who was picking up something, raised his head in confusion, watching the door slam shut in front of him.

Gu Qiao tremblingly followed into the house, "Your Highness..."

Xiang Zenan sat down at the table slowly, stared at him for a while, "The palace is busy recently, you can go to the palace to do things when you are well."

Gu Qiao nodded. This man is different now that he is a prince. I haven't seen him for a few days. The first thing he said when we met was work.

"How is Your Majesty?"

The third child was silent for a moment, "It may not be a good recovery."

"What do you mean by not recovering well?"

"Because he can't stay awake all the time, maybe it will get worse."

"How could this be? Even Doctor Yin can't cure him?"

The third child frowned, lowered his head slightly, and his eyelashes blocked his beautiful eyes, "Doctor Yin said that perhaps in a year or two, the father will completely lose his clear consciousness."

"A year or two..."

Gu Qiao lost his mind for a while, if the emperor is not cured, the country will soon be handed over to the successor, then...he took a long breath, "That's fine, I won't have long nights and dreams, how will the second child react? "

"That day he wanted to control his father and make him the crown prince, but his father no longer trusted him, and recently he was not allowed to go to Qianyang Palace to pay his respects."

"Didn't you catch Du Yuwen?"

Talking about the third child, he clenched his fists, "My people had already caught him, but he was rescued by Huang Qi."

Gu Qiao was startled, "Huang Qi is so powerful? Rescued people in the siege of the palace?"

"I have never fought against him. According to Wu Heng, he is unfathomable."

Gu Qiao sat down beside him, "But now that Your Majesty has detoxified the snail fruit, it won't be so easy to control. It doesn't matter if Du Yuwen ran away."

The third child grabbed his left hand and stroked the scar on it.It was bitten by him when he went crazy when he was in Lianzhou. The scar has faded a lot, leaving only a raised tooth mark, which is slightly white.

"It's not yet time to relax, but He Fangzhi has collapsed, and Concubine He Gui is still there. The royal father has been suffering from poison these days, and she is all by her side."

"Will Your Majesty love the Second Prince again because of this?"

"It's hard to say, the king's heart is unpredictable." The youngest thought of something, his eyes darkened, "He is always a moody person, it's hard to say whether I can sit firmly in the East Palace."

Gu Qiao had never seen such a pessimistic side of him, and was a little worried, "Did something happen?"

The third child shook his head, "I just thought of my queen mother."

He never mentioned his queen mother in front of Gu Qiao. Gu Qiao knew that he must have something on his mind, so she held his hand, "Can you tell me about Queen Zhaoyuan?"

The third child lowered his head and was silent for a while, "When I was sensible, the queen mother had already passed away. I heard this from my elder brother and the queen mother. My elder brother was actually very doted on when he was a child. The emperor once said in front of several prime ministers In the future, the eldest son will be established as the crown prince, so my elder brother has been raised by the great Confucianism of the time according to the standards of the king since he was a child. He is talented and intelligent, and the father likes him very much... until Concubine He Gui enters the palace.

After Concubine He Gui entered the palace, my father quickly disliked my mother.Not long after, Xiang Zezhang was born.Father Huang put all his attention on Zezhang, and gradually he didn't even bother about his elder brother's homework.Then one day, the eldest brother fell ill and became blind from then on, and it was impossible for him to have the chance to compete for the reserve again.My eldest brother said that his illness was caused by Concubine He Gui. The Queen Mother had already obtained the evidence, but the emperor was partial and shielded Concubine He Gui.

It may be out of guilt, but in short, there was me in the second year.But soon after my mother gave birth to me, she passed away. "

Seeing his downcast appearance, Gu Qiao really wanted to hug him, so she stood up and hugged him, "So we want to win, not only for you, but also for King Yu and Queen Zhaoyuan."

The third child wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his head in his chest, "If I do something excessive to win, will you hate me?"

"whats the matter?"

The third child didn't answer, he couldn't tell Gu Qiao that it was his fault that the emperor didn't recover well.

The snail fruit is a strange thing. If you take strong painkillers during the poisoning, it will make the poison difficult to detox.The harder the painkiller is used, the more the toxin will penetrate the brain until it is impossible to return to normal.

Tang Yuan is just a master of medicine, and he knows how to configure herbal medicine just enough to keep people awake for a while.Before Dr. Yin was invited, he had already guaranteed that the toxin was insoluble.

He hugged Gu Qiao tightly, thinking bitterly, would such an upright and soft-hearted person despise me if he knew the truth?

Gu Qiao hugged him for a while, but he didn't speak, just buried his head in Gu Qiao's arms.

Gu Qiao was itchy from being rubbed by him, she let go of her hand and took a step back, "It's so itchy."

Xiang Zenan circled him and refused to let him go, "Let me hug you, I'm so tired."

Gu Qiao immediately stopped moving, and stood quietly for him to hug.Unexpectedly, he started to be dishonest as soon as he hugged his hands. Gu Qiao held down his hand that was touching down his buttocks, "What are you doing?"

"do you miss me?"

Gu Qiao didn't answer, he said again: "I miss you, I miss you very much."

Gu Qiao held his face and lightly touched his lips.

Xiang Zenan didn't want to let him go easily, he stood up after chasing his lips, and exchanged an extremely lingering kiss with him.

In the courtyard, Chang Ling and Wu Heng were chatting and eating, and their laughter was clearly audible. Gu Qiao was a little embarrassed, and turned her face away slightly, "No, it's in broad daylight..."

"Huh? In broad daylight?" Xiang Zenan whispered in his ear, "Did you still draw that kind of thing in broad daylight? Did you draw me? Why didn't you finish drawing yourself?"

Gu Qiao froze for a moment, knowing that he was going to say this, and sure enough, she was waiting here.

He said with a guilty conscience, "Well, I agreed to Sanhe Bookstore. After receiving the deposit, I must get things done."

Xiang Zenan kissed his ear, then followed his slender neck to his thin shoulder, "Where did you get those messy things in your mind, have you ever done it?"

Gu Qiao blushed, "Do...what?"

"Do the ones you drew," Xiang Zenan gnawed at his Adam's apple like a puppy, "Do you want me to help you... find inspiration."

Gu Qiao resisted not very seriously, "There are people outside..."

Xiang Zenan chuckled, "Can you let me do it without anyone?"

"no……"

Xiang Zenan kissed his neck enough, pinched his chin with two fingers, and kissed him hard, "Let's let you go for now, I still have things to do. If you think about it, I'll go to the palace to find you." I, you are not allowed to secretly paint my erotic palace, understand?"

Gu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed in her heart, turned her face away and hummed softly, "I'll go to the palace tomorrow to be on duty."
