A thousand years

Gu Hongwen lowered his head and coughed violently. After watching the father-in-law who was serving him walk out, he held the hidden compartment raised on the back of the dragon chair and knocked it three times in a row.

Not long after, a man dressed in black, whose expression was not clear, appeared in front of Gu Hongwen with his body bowed.The man in black belongs to the type that can't be found when thrown into the crowd. He is ordinary and ordinary, but occasionally the cold light leaking from the corner of his eyes is enough to make people's heart tremble. This is the secret guard of the Southern Chu royal family that only emperors can master. !

Gu Hongwen squinted his eyes and looked at the dark guard who was standing in front of him, his eyes were a little dazed.Six years ago, he had sent dark guards to execute Gu Yuan who was far above the battlefield, but now, when his time was running out, he was going to use the dark guards again to execute Gu Yuan's son.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Gu Hongwen sighed softly in his heart, Seventh brother, don't blame me for being ruthless, it is really in this position, there are many things that must be done, have to be done.The emperor is ruthless.

When he raised his head again, Gu Hongwen's eyes had turned into firmness and cruelty, and he looked at the dark guard, "Gu Ruofan, I want him to die silently."

After explaining, just as he was about to wave his hand to let the hidden guard prepare in secret, he suddenly thought of that day when Gu Huai knelt in the tent, repeating the words to himself three times with firm eyes.

As long as I'm here, no one can hurt him.

After a moment of silence, he coughed a few times and said calmly, "Wait a minute, don't make him suffer too much."

Hearing the words, the dark guard nodded silently, retreated quickly, and hid in the dark without making a sound.

The heaviness of his body made Gu Hongwen a little tired. He sat on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn't open his eyes, waved his hands, and said, "Come and take the throne."

After a while, there was silence when no one answered. Gu Hongwen frowned, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice and opened his eyes.

When the line of sight touched the person standing on the top of the hall as calm as water, the pupils shrank suddenly.

Gu Huai wore a black robe, black hair like a crow's feathers, sharp edges and corners, and deep eyes. Standing under the hall, he looked up at himself, unable to tell what he was thinking.And the close-knit father-in-law whom I had just sent to call Gu Ruofan stood shyly behind Gu Huai, with his head down, not daring to look at him.

Narrowing his eyes suddenly, Gu Hongwen stood up almost instantly, looking at Gu Huai.

"You bribed my father-in-law"

Gu Huai remained silent, and stood there alone, looking at the father who was once powerful, but is now very old, and almost a gust of wind could blow him down, he felt a little complicated in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

Seeing that Gu Huai was silent, Gu Hongwen understood almost instantly. Looking at this son who he was the most proud of, and who was going to hand over the entire Southern Chu country to his son in a hundred years, two cold and angry expressions burst out from his cloudy eyes. A dangerous gleam ignited at the bottom of his eyes.

"Gu Huai, are you going to disobey me?"

Compared to Gu Hongwen's rage, Gu Huai seemed much calmer.Slowly raising his head, his thin lips evoked a faint smile, and his eyes calmly wandered into the distance, like an extremely elegant cheetah.

At some point in the hall, there were only the two of them left, and Gu Huai looked at Gu Hongwen.

"As I said, with me here, no one can hurt him." Gu Huai shook his head lightly, "Father, why don't you listen?"

Angry and laughing, Gu Hongwen stepped down from the dragon chair, waved his sleeves and laughed, "Gu Huai, I used to think that you were the most suitable person to sit in this position, but now, do you know that the benevolence of a woman is not enough?" Going against me for a dispensable chess piece will make you pay an unbearable price!"

Gu Huai nodded, his expression unchanged, and he even showed a little patience.He looked at his father, his eyes were deep, he didn't care about the anger that swept over him at all, and there was even a little sigh and pity.

It was such an attitude that instantly angered Gu Hongwen. He walked down the high steps, stood in front of Gu Huai, raised his hand, and was about to slap Gu Huai on the face.

Gu Huai held Gu Hongwen's right hand. It wasn't until this moment that he truly felt that his father, the emperor who used to kill him, was finally old.

"Are you determined to fight against the emperor for an outsider?" Gu Hongwen was really angry until this moment, his eyes were cold and locked tightly on Gu Huai's body, "Do you really think that I Is it only your son?"

Gu Huai smiled lightly. He was dressed in a black robe, his face was like a crown of jade, and the domineering aura of a king emerged spontaneously. He stared at Gu Hongwen with a blade-like sharpness and coldness in his gaze.

"Father, of course, is not just my son."

"You actually dare to buy off my father-in-law. You are so bold and reckless!" Gu Hongwen laughed back in anger, ignoring his lungs throbbing from coughing, and shouted loudly: "Dark guards, where are the dark guards!"

"Come here, put Prince Gu Huai in prison for me to reflect on myself!"

Gu Huai had a high nose and thin lips, his eyes were calm and indifferent.

The dark guard came out in response, bowed and stood under the highness, Gu Hongwen was furious, pointed at Gu Huai and said, "Put him into the prison!"

The dark guard still bowed his body and did not move.

Gu Hongwen frowned, and repeated again, "Didn't you hear what I said? Take Prince Gu Huai to the prison!"

"Back off." Gu Huai turned around, waved at the hidden guard who bowed and couldn't see his expression clearly, completely ignoring Gu Hongwen who was furious.Hearing the words, the dark guard bowed and nodded, then quickly disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the back of the dark guard leaving and the calm expression on Gu Huai's face, Gu Hongwen suddenly had a bad idea in his heart. Looking at his son, a chill rose from the soles of his feet to his heart and lungs.

Seeing Gu Hongwen's expression, Gu Huai said lightly: "Father, I remember that you taught me that the emperor is ruthless." Slowly stretched out his hand, looked at his right hand, and clenched it into a fist. Gu Huai's eyes were as deep as the sea, "It was also you who taught me that only by holding the rights firmly in the palm of my hand can I sit back and relax."

Gu Hongwen took two steps back suddenly, coughed violently, coughed up scarlet dots, pointed at Gu Huai with a trembling finger, and asked in disbelief: "So you quietly bought everyone around me?"

Gu Huai shook his head, "How can it be considered a bribe?"

It seemed that there was some regret and regret, Gu Huai sighed softly.

"Father, if you never want to kill Ruofan, then the people around you will always be loyal to the Lord, and you will be the emperor of Southern Chu in peace, my most respected father Emperor."

"Hahaha, if it weren't for today, how would I know that my most outstanding son would have done so many things without making a sound!" Gu Hongwen panted quickly, pointing at Gu Huai with a gloomy expression. .

"When did you start buying people around me?"

"After hunting in Nanshan." Gu Huai's voice was flat, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

"In order to protect Gu Ruofan"

Gu Huai nodded, his eyes were flat.

"Haha, Gu Huai, do you know what you're doing? You're plotting rebellion! It's just for an insignificant person, are you going to risk the world's disgrace?" Gu Hongwen's face was gloomy, and he frowned and roared angrily.

"Insignificant" seemed to be because Gu Ruofan was mentioned, and Gu Huai's expression lost its sharpness and coldness, and became gentler.

Seeing Gu Huai's expression, Gu Hongwen's eyes suddenly darkened and shot out an astonishing cold light.

"You are trying to usurp the throne for him now, isn't it a big treason?"

Gu Huai shook his head slowly, and shifted his gaze to the high, cold and luxurious dragon chair, "I've said it before, if you didn't kill the heart right, then none of this would have happened."

"Hahaha, you are really my good son!"

Gu Hongwen looked crazy, coughing violently, pointing at Gu Huai with red eyes.

"I am your father who is connected by blood! You are going to attack me for an outsider, for someone who may shake the South Chu country." Gu Hongwen's eyes were crazy, his eyes were full of hatred, and the pain in his lungs made his entire facial features wrinkle together.

"Shaking the Southern Chu Jiangshan" Gu Huai shook his head lightly, the gentle and smiling face appeared in his mind, and his eyes softened a bit again.

"I am willing to share this whole country with him, so why not talk about it?"

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, thunder exploded on the ground, a bad imagination suddenly rose in Gu Hongwen's heart.

"What did you say"

Gu Huai leaned over and looked down at Gu Hongwen with an indescribable complex meaning in his eyes.

"Father, you once said that as the Son of Heaven, you must be ruthless and decisive in killing."

"And in my life, only by giving him all my feelings can I be ruthless and rule the world!" Gu Huai stood against the light in his black clothes, breathtaking.

Gu Hongwen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a few steps back in disbelief, looking at Gu Huai, panting rapidly, like a broken bellows.

"Do you know what you're talking about"

Gu Huai's black eyes were burning, his eyes were deep, his back was straight, proud and straight.

"He is my only bottom line."

"He is the only person in Gu Huai's life who truly recognizes and wants him."

Gu Hongwen suddenly raised his head and pointed at Gu Huai, "Do you know what two men you are talking about, haha, how can you tolerate the world?"

Shaking his head slowly, he seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be explaining to Gu Hongwen.

"In order to stabilize that position, you killed his father and king."

"And I, in order to keep him safe and happy for the rest of his life, I also want to take that position."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Hongwen interrupted him panting heavily, pointing at the tip of Gu Huai's nose, "If I had known, I would have executed him six years ago, the root of the disaster! It is the root of our Southern Chu's disaster!"

Gu Huai's eyes suddenly turned cold, he waved his sleeves and turned around, and told the hidden guard in the dark: "From now on, Your Majesty will stay in the palace to rest and recuperate, and you should take care of him, don't let the outside affairs disturb His Majesty rest."

Ignoring Gu Hongwen's angry roar behind him, Gu Huai raised his head and looked at the brilliant sky above the huge palace.

He knew that Gu Ruofan hated him, so since that day, he never bothered him again.

Hate it.

In Gu Huai's life, I'm afraid that he can only pretend to be this one person in his heart.

Therefore, he came to bear the flood.

He bears the pain of hatred.

As for him, Gu Ruofan only needs to be safe and happy under Gu Huai's wings, and to be healthy until old age.
