I ran away after being pregnant

Chapter 17 Assassination

After Laba is the new year, New Year's Eve is coming in a blink of an eye.Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the Garment Bureau rushed to make a new dragon robe.The color of the dragon robe was also changed from yellow to red.

The red dragon robe was especially festive on Shen Gu.

The light-white index finger picked the jade beads embroidered on the dragon's eyes, Shen Gu was even satisfied with this dress.Standing in front of the bronze mirror and looking left and right, it is like a flower peacock indulging in its own beauty.

"This dragon robe is really suitable for the emperor." Duoxi beside him said seriously.

The left and right restaurants were temporarily closed, and it was the Chinese New Year, so Duoxi gave the others a holiday and went to the palace to serve the emperor.

Shen Gu nodded: "I think so too."

Moving his eyes down, he landed on the Crane and Deer Tongchun jade pendant hanging from his waist, and the smile on Shen Gu's face grew wider.

This jade pendant was given to him by Chu Zhaoling. He liked it very much and planned to wear it forever.

Dressed neatly, Shen Gu set off for the ancestral hall to offer incense to his ancestors.

The royal ancestral hall is located outside the palace, guarded by guards in turn.When Shen Gu arrived, Chu Zhaoling was already at the gate of the ancestral hall, wearing a black python robe, his figure was tall and heroic.

Shen Gu got off from the Luanjia and walked to Chu Zhaoling's side, discussing with each other: "Go in and offer incense later, can you not sue me?"

"Do you dare to admit it?" Chu Zhaoling was in a good mood and asked teasingly.

"I also want to save face. Okay?"

Chu Zhaoling said "Yes", which was regarded as agreement.

The two entered the ancestral hall one after the other.Chu Zhaoling was the only one with non-royal blood who could enter the ancestral hall.

When he came to the door of the room where the tablet was placed, Shen Gu stopped walking and didn't go in.He is a counterfeit now, facing the ancestors of the original owner, he still feels somewhat guilty.

Chu Zhaoling thought that Shen Gu didn't even bother to open the door, so he raised his hand and pushed it open.

Shen Gu bit the bullet and walked in, standing in front of the memorial tablet, thinking about how to explain.Chu Zhaoling handed him the lit incense.

After offering incense, Shen Gu knelt on the futon and solemnly kowtowed three times to the memorial tablets of the ancestors.

The real only seedling of your Shen family has died, and now there is an ordinary person who has never met in his body.The Shen family changed dynasties when they came to me.You have spirits in heaven, don't blame me, I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be a boss.People have their own aspirations and have to respect each other...

Shen Gu said a lot of things in his heart, and finally kowtowed a few more times.

Chu Zhaoling, who was kneeling behind Shen Gu, looked at the tablets of the ancestors of the Shen family with calm eyes.

Offering incense is just a courtesy, he has nothing to say.

Do your best, listen to the destiny, and be ashamed of your heart.

In the evening, there was a New Year's Eve palace banquet. After worshiping, Chu Zhaoling got on his horse and went back to the palace with Luanjia.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Gu smelled the aroma of meat, and his eyes lit up immediately.Sticking his head out along the window of the carriage, he looked like a greedy cat: "Chu Zhaoling, I want to eat fried pork jerky."

Chu Zhaoling was taken aback: "No."

"I can already smell it." Shen Gu was reluctant, and began to show his cuteness with a pair of big eyes, "Buy me some, I didn't eat in the morning."

Chu Zhaoling had no choice but to deal with the limp Shen Gu, so he turned his horse's head and walked to the stall, took a look at the fried pork jerky and said, "Wrap them up."

The vendor owner quickly wrapped the dried pork with an oiled paper umbrella, and handed it to Chu Zhaoling with both hands.

Chu Zhaoling threw down a piece of silver, took the dried pork and drove the horse to the side of the carriage: "Here you are."

Shen Gu took it, opened the greased paper, picked up a strip of meat and put it in his mouth.The fried meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, making it irresistible without any seasoning.

A pack of fried pork jerky is just enough for Shen Gu to eat all the way.Don't even have to eat lunch.

All civil and military officials and envoys from the Western Regions will enter the palace to participate in the New Year's Eve banquet in the evening.Back in the palace, the first thing Shen Gu did was to sleep.In the name of nourishing the spirit, it is actually full and sleepy.

Chu Zhaoling ignored him and went to the imperial study by himself.After reading the excerpts for a long time, at the end of Youshi, I went to Chaohua Hall.

Chaohua Hall is a place specially used to celebrate major festivals.Chu Zhaoling handed over the security matters to Xiao Wu, and he assigned the Imperial Forest Army to defend the surrounding area.Every year.

Seeing the prince coming, Xiao Wu took the initiative to meet him, saluted and said, "My lord, everything is ready."

"Where are the ministers?"

"Everyone is here except Wang Qi."

Wang Qi competes with the prince every year to see who arrives last, and this year will be no exception.Xiao Wu is not surprised by this.

Chu Zhaoling was too lazy to play such a boring game with him: "Go in."

Family members are allowed to be brought to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and ministers usually bring their wives and children into the palace.Therefore, the New Year's Eve palace banquet also has a hidden function-blind date.

If you can take this opportunity to get married with the right family, it would be a good thing.

As soon as Chu Zhaoling stepped into the palace gate with one foot, he received countless gazes.Or subtle, or straightforward.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shen Gu is just a puppet emperor, and it is Chu Zhaoling who really counts.Chu Zhaoling holds a large army in his hands, and now he controls the government. It is only a matter of time before the world changes hands.

Now Chu Zhaoling is still alone, and he doesn't even have a concubine. If he can become his first wife, he will be rich, rich, and even a future queen.

How many people can not be tempted.

Chu Zhaoling ignored the eyes of his surroundings and walked towards his seat.

There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.Chu Zhaoling looked at 27, and there was not even a child under his knees.

"It's time for the lord to think about lifelong affairs." Xiao Wu, who was following behind the lord, whispered.

Last time, I thought the prince was blooming, but who would have thought that the person on the bed was actually the emperor.

Chu Zhaoling spit out two words in a calm manner: "Talk out."

Xiao Wu immediately looked at his nose, and his nose cared.But I couldn't help thinking in my heart: If the prince really let go, the threshold of the mansion would be trampled by the matchmaker who came to matchmaking.

Since ancient times, the left is the most respected, so Chu Zhaoling's position was naturally set on Shen Gu's left.On the side of the Son of Heaven, it is naturally the dignity of one person below one person and above ten thousand people.

However, Chu Zhaoling was thinking about another thing now - did Shen Gu wake up?Don't miss the hour.

It's two quarters of Xu time.

"The emperor is here—!"

With a loud voice, all officials surrendered.

"I kowtow to the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Shen Gu waved his hands in a grand manner: "Everyone loves you!"

Noticing the indentation on Shen Gu's cheek that hadn't completely disappeared, Chu Zhaoling knew that he had just woken up not long ago.If there is an official position dedicated to sleeping, Shen Gu will definitely be a first-rank official.

Shen Gu didn't know anything about the process of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, anyway, he just had to sit quietly and stare at the fruits on the table.

Eat well, drink well, sleep well, don't ask or fight if you don't want to.This is the goal Shen Gu set for himself, the puppet emperor.

"The envoys from the Western Regions are here!" At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the hall.

Shen Gu has seen the map.

The four kingdoms of the Western Regions are Daye Kingdom, Dayue Kingdom, Jialan Kingdom and Kemo Kingdom.In terms of territory and comprehensive strength, Daye Kingdom is the most important.The relationship between these four countries can be described in one sentence: one big brother leads three younger brothers.

Of course, country sizes are relative.If you take Shen Guo as a comparison, the four countries in the Western Regions add up to the two counties of Shen Guo.

Shen Gu raised his head and looked at the envoys from the four countries who came in, with a flash of surprise in his eyes - the girl inside was exactly Ayi Mu who he met that day and forgot to bring money for dinner.

Naturally, Ayimu also recognized Shen Gu, opened his mouth halfway, realized the occasion and identity, and swallowed the words back.

Chu Zhaoling, who was sitting on the side, naturally did not ignore the eye contact between the two of them, and glanced at Shen Gu lightly, but the other party didn't look at him at all, and smiled patronizingly.

A few days ago, after finishing the education, you should pay attention to your identity, and forget it when you turn around.

Chu Zhaoling picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, wondering if he should educate him again.

When everyone is here, the palace banquet can be regarded as the beginning.

If it is placed in modern times, such a large gathering of nearly a hundred people can be so lively that even the roof of the house will be lifted.Shen Gu will definitely become the most beautiful boy in the crowd.

However, this is ancient times, everyone sat upright and behaved gracefully, just short of having "I am solemn" engraved on their foreheads.Shen Gu is also the emperor, so he must put on a good air.

In the center of the hall, there are dancers dancing with the silk and bamboo orchestra.

Shen Gu couldn't understand, and his mind was all on the fruit on the table.While the ministers were not paying attention, he quickly reached out to "steal" an orange, took it under the table and peeled it.

The hand holding the orange petal was retracted into the wide sleeve, and the hand was raised to the mouth, and the orange petal was secretly stuffed into the mouth.

Perfect!

Shen Gu suddenly realized the joy of stealing food in class, and he couldn't stop eating.

The oranges on the table "disappeared out of thin air" one by one, and there were more and more orange peels under Shen Gu's feet.

When Chu Zhaoling rushed towards him, Shen Gu was holding a peeled orange in his hand and was about to give it to his mouth.

Chu Zhaoling was never interested in these things, and when he was bored, his eyes naturally fell on Shen Gu.

I happened to see the scene of Shen Gu "stealing" the oranges—first he looked around, and after making sure no one was looking at him, he reached out and took the oranges from the plate.The peeled oranges are hidden in their hands, and they are brought to their mouths to eat when people are not paying attention.

Every move is like a small animal stealing food.

Chu Zhaoling suddenly remembered a sentence in the late emperor's secret letter.

[Shen is not the candidate for the throne, but he is my only son, so he can only make this choice. 】

According to the intention of the first emperor, Shen Gu is not worthy of the position.

Chu Zhaoling thought so before, but now he has another opinion.It is indeed inappropriate to lock a simple and clean person like Shen Gu on the extremely heavy throne for the rest of his life.

Also cruel.

He should live happily and do what he likes.

A dazzling white light flashed before his eyes, bringing Chu Zhaoling's thoughts back to reality.

The dancer who performed the dance suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed straight at Shen Gu.That white light was reflected from the blade after it was unsheathed, carrying a bone-piercing coldness.

And Shen Gu was lowering his head to peel the oranges, completely unaware of the imminent danger.

Chu Zhaoling instinctively rushed towards Shen Gu.However, the assassin who made the first move had already taken the lead, and the opponent was agile and could take Shen's life in a short while.

In order to protect Shen Gu's whole beard in his arms, Chu Zhaoling was willing to take the knife.The sharp blade with a cold light pierced the clothes and cut the flesh.Blood gushed out and splashed all over the ground.

He had promised that the first emperor would protect Shen Su comprehensively.

He won't break his word.
