Since the palace banquet started not long ago, there was no one else outside the hall except the patrolling guards.

Gu Rong was led to the side hall, and the eunuch withdrew.

Before he left, he specifically asked Gu Rong if he needed a doctor, but Gu Rong waved his hand and refused.

Gu Rong sat in the side hall for a while, and felt a little better, so he opened the door and went out to have a look.

Although the emperor never really thought about Song Qianyuan, what happened in the hall was related to Song Qianyuan after all, Gu Rong felt that he should go back and see the result.

As soon as he stepped out, Gu Rong's mouth was covered by a wide palm, and then the other party grabbed his waist and pulled him into the hall.

Gu Rong staggered back into the side hall, crashing into a solid chest.

With a "bang", the door of the side hall was gently closed again.

Zhao Ming, who was waiting outside the hall, had already seen Gu Rong come out, and was about to come up to greet him, when he saw a person beside Gu Rong.

The man was so fast that Zhao Ming didn't see where he came from at all. He was about to go up to rescue him when the man raised his face towards him.

It was Song Qianyuan.

Zhaoming only hesitated for a moment, Song Qianyuan pulled Gu Rong back to the side hall in front of Zhaoming, and then closed the door.

Zhaoming waited for a while, considering whether to go forward to ask, but the side hall was quiet, and the two of them didn't make a sound after they entered.

Zhao Ming thought about it, and felt that Gu Rong should not want him to disturb him at this time, so he took a step back and continued to stay where he was.

"Little Qianzi?" After Song Qianyuan let go, Gu Rong turned around, saw the face of the visitor clearly, and was stunned for a moment, "I haven't seen you in the hall just now, did the emperor not let you appear? During this time he Where will you be placed?"

Song Qianyuan looked at Gu Rong and said, "I've been at Changnan Prince's Mansion."

Changnan King?

It turned out that Changnan King, who was the first to jump out and raise the topic, was instructed by the emperor?

"Has the emperor already believed in your identity?" Gu Rong asked.

"I have a token," Song Qianyuan lowered his head, and took out a jade pendant from his waist, "This jade pendant was given to Concubine Xiao Gui by the emperor back then."

Gu Rong took it and looked at it. It was a longevity lock carved from jade, with the word "Zheng" engraved on it.

"When Concubine Xiao was pregnant, the emperor bestowed the word 'Zheng' on her womb, and said that if she was a princess, the character would be changed to 'Zheng'. Only Concubine Xiao and the old maids around her knew about this. Make a jade lock engraved with the word 'Zheng', but because Concubine Xiao was poisoned and gave birth prematurely, the jade lock was not completed in the end."

"It is precisely because of this that the matter of the jade pendant and the matter of giving the name have not had time to let others know."

"Where is that old maid? Where is she now?" Gu Rong asked.

"After the death of Concubine Xiao Gui, the old court lady invited herself to guard the spirit of Concubine Xiao Gui. Because Concubine Xiao Gui was buried in the Eastern Tomb, the old maid went to a temple near the Eastern Tomb and shaved her hair to become a nun."

"The emperor went to her to check?" Gu Rong whispered, "Will the emperor believe her words?"

"I will believe it," Song Qianyuan said, "at least the emperor will believe it."

Eight points are enough.

Gu Rong asked: "Then what is the emperor's plan today?"

"The Queen's poisoning of Concubine Xiao needs to be overturned. The Emperor doted on Concubine Xiao in order to promote some forces in the court to compete with the forces behind the Queen. Who knows that Concubine Xiao fell into depression after losing her child, and finally died of depression. Concubine Xiao Go, the emperor didn't have time to deal with the aftermath, and let the empress take advantage of the loopholes, but made the hand behind the empress stretch even longer."

"The emperor has also taken measures, but there are too few people who can be used in the previous dynasty. The old Gu Guogong was loyal to the emperor, but unfortunately he also went. Even the words and deeds of the concubines in the harem are completely controlled by the empress. on."

No wonder the emperor is always tolerant of Gu Tai'an.

Gu Tai'an is indeed too useless, he only thinks about being wise and protecting himself, and how to preserve the glory of the Gu family, but he doesn't really think about how to share the worries for the Holy One.

"So that child of the concubine was also killed by the queen?"

Song Qianyuan nodded: "The emperor is well aware of this matter."

"No wonder Rufei's nonsense can arouse the emperor's suspicion..." Gu Rong said softly, "Then what about Shen Li? Did Xiaoqian pay attention to Shen Li?"

"Shen Li?" Song Qianyuan was taken aback.

Gu Rong told Song Qianyuan his previous speculation.

Song Qianyuan frowned and said: "Shen Li is really weird. He should be a great help behind the prince, but he doesn't seem to have any real skills."

Gu Rong thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that he wasn't like this before?"

Song Qianyuan thought seriously: "Which one used to be?" Shen Li was always like this in his impression.

When Gu Rong was asked, he couldn't tell.

If he wanted to say it, he would have to tell Song Qianyuan all about his experience, but Song Qianyuan didn't know if he would understand, maybe he would think he was crazy.

Song Qianyuan looked at Gu Rong for a while, then said, "Chenchen..."

Gu Rong blushed and looked up at him.

"Little Qianzi," Gu Rong said, "now the palace is full of undercurrents. Even if the emperor really recognizes you as the prince, the crown prince and queen will still stare at you. Their tricks are so low, how can you protect yourself in the palace?"

Song Qianyuan remained silent.

Gu Rong said again: "There is also King Beiping, are the people they sent still following you?"

Song Qianyuan finally said: "Will Chenchen follow me?"

Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes: "Where are you going?"

"Join the King of Peking's camp first, pull the prince off the horse, and then kick the King of Peking..."

Song Qianyuan lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty's health has been getting worse recently. I have invited the imperial physician several times, but the results of the consultations have been kept secret to the outside world. Little Qian dares to guess that the time left by the Majesty may not be long. Young Master, would you like to Follow Little Qianzi?"

Gu Rong didn't know whether it was worry or fear, his whole face flushed red, and even his whole body began to tremble slightly: "Little Qianzi, this road is dangerous, have you considered it?"

"Think about it," Song Qianyuan straightened up and said, "This is the only way to go."

indeed.

After thinking about it for the past two days, Gu Rong came to the same conclusion.

Since even the task assigned to him by the system is to hope that Song Qianyuan can take this path to change his destiny, there should be nothing wrong.

However, Song Qianyuan asked him if he would like to follow him?

How does he go?

What should he do when he leaves the Gu mansion?What should mother do?

Song Qianyuan said: "Master follows Xiaoqianzi, and when Xiaoqianzi comes back victorious, young master doesn't have to be the duke of Gu Guogong, who is such a troublemaker, and Xiaoqianzi makes you emperor... um..."

Before Song Qianyuan could say any more crazy things, Gu Rong covered his mouth with his hand.

Song Qianyuan had his mouth covered by him and winked at him innocently.

Discussing this kind of thing in the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is outrageous, and now Song Qianyuan dares to say such a thing.

While Gu Rong was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, he couldn't help but think, is what Xiao Qianzi said true?

He really wants to make himself a queen?

Gu Rong straightened his mind and said, "When do you plan to leave?"

Song Qianyuan saw that Gu Rong was unwilling to go with him, his eyes dimmed slightly.

"I..." Gu Rong withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and said, "I'm not in good health, I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I follow you, and the Gu family is not just my business, I also have my mother, my elder brother... ...I cannot leave them alone, but I will wait for you..."

Song Qianyuan's eyes lit up again.

"If you really go to find the King of Peking, the capital is dangerous, I will give up the title to Gu Zhiyu, and hide with my mother in Jinzhou or Tongzhou. When you are done, come and find me, and then I will follow you."

"Are you really willing to...?" Song Qianyuan asked uncertainly.

Gu Rong lowered his head and said softly: "...I am willing."

Song Qianyuan gently held Gu Rong's hand.

Gu Rong's hand froze, and immediately returned to hold his.

"Little Qianzi," Gu Rong said with a blushing face, "You are very special to me. There are some things that you may not believe. It is because of you that I am what I am now. I couldn't figure it out before, but now... I I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to make you sad, so you promise me that you will come back safely later, okay?"

Song Qianyuan and I watched Gu Rong's hands tighten gradually, and after a while, he agreed in a low voice: "Okay."

There was no one in the side hall, and the surroundings were still silent.

I don't know where the play in the main hall has reached, but while there is still time, Song Qianyuan lowered his head lightly and kissed Gu Rong's lips quietly.

Gu Rong's whole body was extremely stiff, maybe he was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, not only did he not know where to put his hands, he even almost forgot to breathe.

Sensing his abnormality, Song Qianyuan finally backed away, stretched out his thumb and gently wiped the corner of his mouth: "Breathe, dust."

Gu Rong came back to his senses and opened his breath.

His face was completely flushed.

Song Qianyuan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late, young master, go back and wait for my news."

Gu Rong nodded.

Song Qianyuan opened the door of the side hall, looked around, and stepped out first.

After a while, the eunuch who sent the message came to the main hall, and asked Gu Rong if he was feeling better, and the emperor had something to ask.

Gu Rong tidied up her clothes, stepped out, and followed the eunuch back to the main hall.

During the palace banquet that day, Song Qianyuan's identity was not officially determined, but everyone already knew that the emperor had another prince living among the people, and he was the son of Concubine Xiao.

The old case of Concubine Xiao being poisoned was uncovered. The culprit was the queen. Several old maids around her were beheaded, and the queen's harem authority was also cut off. These two days will be imprisoned in the empress dowager's court. Tang Jing thought about his past.

The matter seemed to come to an end, the emperor intended to make Song Qianyuan his prince, and even rewarded him with land and made him king.

This move was strongly opposed by some courtiers headed by the prince's followers.

The emperor had no choice but to temporarily place Song Qianyuan in the home of Concubine Xiao Gui's mother's elder brother, the power minister Xiao Bi.

However, after the departure of Concubine Xiao Gui, the Xiao family actually had little say in the court. In the few days that Song Qianyuan lived in the Xiao family, he was thieves twice, and the house was flooded three times. Those thieves did not seek money. , without sneaking around, swaggering into Mrs. Xiao's house with a knife in hand, and wounding several guards.

The last time Xiao's family ran into water, half of the Xiao's mansion was burned to the ground, and Song Qianyuan also disappeared in Xiao's house.

The emperor was furious, and wanted to find trouble with the prince, but there was no real evidence, so he had to send people everywhere to look for Song Qianyuan's whereabouts.

During this period, Gu Rong, the young Duke of Gu, was seriously ill. He entrusted someone to send a message to the palace, to accuse the emperor, and to pass the title to Gu Zhiyu, the third son of the Gu family. Then he left the capital with his mother Wei Hanyuan. Tongzhou recuperates.

Two months later, Song Qianyuan, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared in the northwest, raised the banner of the King of Peking, and rebelled.
