During the days when the fight was the most fierce, the disputes in the court seemed to be in full swing, but in fact Gu Chengmin was very confident in his heart, he ate and slept well every day, and even gained a lot of weight.

When the second prince who was competing with him for the heirloom was imprisoned, Gu Chengmin even thought about visiting the prison for a second time.

The second prince looked at the slick Gu Chengmin, held back for a long time, and then asked nonchalantly: "Have you never looked down on me?"

Gu Chengmin shook his head, and said bluntly: "That's not true, but I never regarded you as an opponent."

The second prince was even more aggrieved: "Don't be complacent, even if you win me, the battle for the reserve position is just the beginning."

Gu Chengmin smiled, he had already expected this.

The second prince sat with him dully for a long time, then suddenly, sighed, and said a rare truth: "Actually, you are not bad to be an emperor."

Gu Chengmin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The second prince felt inexplicably guilty when he looked at him, he was strong on the outside and soft on the inside: "What, what's wrong? At least you won't kill me, will you?"

Gu Chengmin was taken aback for a moment, then covered his forehead with his palms, lowered his head and laughed tremblingly.

The second prince lifted the table angrily and said: "Okay, I have to face the wall and think about it, you can go!"

Gu Chengmin raised his eyes and glanced at him, restrained his smile, subconsciously tapped his fingertips on the table, and thoughtfully said: "I was thinking, with your stupid mind, how did you fight with me for so long? ?”

Second prince:! ! !

Gu Chengmin asked the question sincerely, but hearing the second prince's words, it was like mocking his IQ, which made people even angrier.

"Gu Chengmin! Don't bully others too much!" The second prince blushed and became angry.

Gu Chengmin stood up with little interest, waved his fan behind his back and said, "Okay, you should stay here and think about your mistakes."

After that, he left without any nostalgia.

After getting rid of the stumbling block of the second prince, Gu Chengmin's reputation in the court became more and more prominent.However, perhaps in order to balance the court, after a while, the third prince, who was originally inconspicuous, began to appear frequently.

One night in the middle of the night, Gu Chengmin was sitting in front of the chessboard, resting his chin with one hand, holding a jade white chess piece with the other hand, slowly rubbing his fingertips around its surface.

Xiao Zhouzi boldly stepped forward to add wax, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's getting late at night."

Gu Chengmin came back to his senses, and looked at the chess piece in his hand calmly: "Why do you think the second child lost?"

Xiao Zhouzi was a little confused: "Believing superiors and concealing inferiors, forming a clique for personal gain... Isn't this what His Highness planned long ago?"

Gu Chengmin didn't say a word, and after a while, he spoke again: "Go and call Xiao Qi."

Xiao Zhouzi looked out of the window in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Now?"

"Yeah." A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chengmin's mouth, and he whispered, "Didn't he cling to this chessboard all day long? You tell him, let him come and win a game against me, and I will send the chessboard to you. give him."

Xiao Zhouzi: ...

In the middle of the night, His Highness Seventh was called up to play chess or something, even if he was given a chessboard, His Highness Seventh would definitely not be willing, okay?

Xiao Zhouzi didn't dare to say much to Gu Chengmin, so he could only slander and invite His Highness the Seventh Prince over.

Sure enough, when Xiao Qi came, he looked at his elder brother with a dark face and resentment.

Gu Chengmin was thick-skinned and showed no introspection, but naturally pointed at the chessboard and said, "Next game."

The Seventh Prince's face was even more aggrieved.

Gu Chengmin smiled and said, "Why? Don't you want to?"

Xiao Qi was very angry: "Brother Huang, do you know what time it is?"

Gu Chengmin glanced out the window, his expression unchanged: "Chen Shi."

Xiao Qi was choked for a while, and sighed: "So shouldn't you be sleeping in the quilt right now?"

Gu Chengmin bent the corner of his mouth, and said seriously: "Xiao Qi, you and I will play a game. If you win, I will give you another gift besides the chess board."

The seventh prince sighed faintly, looking at Gu Chengmin as if looking at a concubine who made trouble for no reason but had to be pampered.

Gu Chengmin's psychological quality is extremely strong, and he played half a game of chess with the Seventh Prince with a calm face.

As the sky slowly turned bright, the Seventh Prince raised his hand and yawned.

Gu Chengmin raised his head and glanced at him, thinking of the secret report a few days ago, he was even more worried.

"Clap."

Gu Chengmin's hands slipped for a moment, and Bai Zi landed in a place that should never have been dropped.

Xiaoqi's expression brightened immediately, and she said happily: "I have no regrets, big brother, you can't play tricks!"

Gu Chengmin laughed, threw the chess pieces back into the chess box, and admitted defeat: "I lost."

Xiao Qi laughed three times, and quickly took the whole chess box into his arms.

Gu Chengmin frowned, looking at Xiao Qi with imperceptible doting and tenderness: "Okay, this thing will be given to you."

Xiaoqi accepted it as soon as she saw it, happily put away the chessboard and went back to catch up on sleep, completely forgetting the "another gift" that Gu Chengmin first said.

Gu Chengmin watched Xiaoqi leave, the smile on his face narrowed, after a while, he took out a letter from the desk and handed it to Xiao Zhouzi: "You give this letter to the secret guard at the Sheng Mansion, Let him hand it over to Sheng Zipei when the time comes."

Xiao Zhouzi responded, "When?"

Gu Chengmin's gaze turned to the candlelight, and he smiled softly, "Wait until something happens to me."

Xiao Zhouzi was stunned, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Gu Chengmin in surprise.

"The eldest prince's collusion with the enemy and treason is an unforgivable crime..."

When that decree came down, Gu Chengmin didn't even know whether he had more fear and regret in his heart, or more calmness of "as expected".

Xiao Zhouzi cried with tears all over his face, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, this is a frame-up, Your Highness..."

Gu Chengmin watched the heavy palace locks fall, but there was not much reaction on his face: "Xiao Zhouzi."

Little Zhouzi raised his head in bewilderment, but saw his master smiled at him with a lot of effort.

"Don't cry, I'm just repeating the way of the second child." Gu Chengmin laughed.

Xiao Zhouzi shook his head with tears all over his face, and said in despair: "It's different, the second prince can only be imprisoned for life at most, if His Highness's crime is really committed, there will be no way out..."

Gu Chengmin raised his eyebrows, sighing, "It's nothing more than I am more powerful than him."

Xiao Zhouzi didn't quite understand.

Gu Chengmin didn't explain, just rubbed his head gently.

Half a month later, Sheng Zi Pei reported to Dali Temple, accusing the eldest prince of collaborating with the enemy.

When Xiao Zhouzi got the news, he jumped in anger in the palace: "Sheng Zipei is shameless! Your Highness cares for him so much, he actually made trouble!"

Gu Chengmin had a headache from his quarrel, so he had to interrupt aloud: "Okay, stop scolding."

Xiao Zhouzi was distressed and angry at the same time, crying with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness..."

Gu Chengmin couldn't take it anymore, so he simply confessed: "I asked him to do this."

Xiao Zhouzi was crying, almost choking to death: "Karma?"

Gu Chengmin played with the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Whether he said it or not, I am a dead word. But if he said it, the Sheng family can still leave a line. If he really listens to me and joins the army, in the future Not necessarily without a future.”

Xiao Zhouzi: "Speaking of it, isn't it all for Sheng Zipei to make a living?!"

Gu Chengmin lowered his eyelids, and seriously retorted: "No, it's different. It doesn't matter if the Sheng family falls, but if Sheng Zipei dies, Xiaoqi is also finished."

Xiao Zhouzi looked up stupidly.

Gu Chengmin looked directly at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the smile was inexplicably cold: "Do you know why Xiao Qi is favored, and why my second child and I are so good?"

Xiao Zhouzi was dumbfounded and said: "His Royal Highness Seventh, Seventh Highness is the youngest, and his mother and concubine died early..."

"Heh. Xiao Qi's mother and concubine was gifted to death by the emperor himself." Gu Chengmin smiled more tenderly, and sighed, "He dotes on Xiao Qi because Xiao Qi's mother and concubine are Qiang people."

As if a bolt of lightning struck Xiao Zhouzi's head, he knelt on the ground, suddenly felt cold all over his body, and said shiveringly, "This, isn't this a meticulous work?"

Gu Chengmin laughed until the corners of his eyes burst into tears: "So, the reason why the father imprisoned the second child and sentenced me to death is because the second child and I are getting older and gradually threatening his throne. And he dotes on Xiao Qi because he thinks that Xiao Qi If he has Qiang blood, he cannot inherit the lineage, so naturally it is nothing more than a threat to him."

Xiao Zhouzi knelt on the ground in a daze, completely speechless except for trembling.

Gu Chengmin asked softly: "How much sincerity can you say that you love this kind of love?"

——Without the emperor's favor, once he and Sheng Zipei died, who would take care of his stupid brother?

The letter that Gu Chengmin wrote to Sheng Zi Pei at the beginning was to leave a way out for Xiao Qi today.

He also deserved to die.

The eldest prince in the palace didn't have time to survive this winter.

The Holy One gave a glass of poisoned wine, and Gu Chengmin's life came to an end.

Xiao Zhouzi looked at the snow scene outside the window, and said: "I heard that the Seventh Prince went to the Health Preservation Hall, and the Emperor didn't want to see him, so he knelt outside the door, wanting to intercede for His Highness."

Since that day when Gu Chengmin analyzed the current situation with him, Xiao Zhouzi was no longer surprised, but counted the days calmly like his own master.

Left and right are just waiting to die.

Gu Chengmin lowered his eyes, almost unable to restrain the pity and distress in his heart.

Xiao Zhouzi hesitated for a while, and asked aloud, "Does Your Highness want to see him?"

Gu Chengmin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I saw him, it was not good for him."

Xiao Zhouzi sighed and stopped persuading.

After a while, it was Gu Chengmin himself who couldn't resist writing a letter and sent someone to send it to Xiao Qi.

Little Zhouzi worried: "This letter will definitely be sent to the emperor's desk first."

"It's okay," Gu Chengmin endured his distress, and waved his hands, "I just don't want him to continue kneeling in the snow."

……

The news that Xiao Qi was persuaded to go back to the mansion arrived almost at the same time as the glass of poisoned wine.

Gu Chengmin had been mentally prepared for a long time, and today, he just smiled wryly at the glass of wine, and then drank it down neatly.

The taste of poisoned wine in his throat was really uncomfortable, Gu Chengmin wanted to divert his attention, so he simply recalled everything he had arranged for Xiaoqi.

It had to be said that thinking about it this way, he always felt as if he had missed something.

However, there is a secret guard for Xiaoqi, Sheng Zipei is also left behind, and all the secret guards in the court...

What else is wrong?

Suddenly, a picture flashed in Gu Chengmin's mind.

——It was the street of the Lantern Festival. Sheng Zipei and Xiao Qi stood under the lantern together. The candlelight illuminated Xiao Qi's side face, while Sheng Zipei stood beside him, looking at him tenderly, with The admiration and pity can hardly be concealed...

This look! ! !

Gu Chengmin suddenly understood.

He was about to vomit blood with anger, but the poisonous wine had invaded his meridians, leaving only darkness in front of his eyes, and the temperature in his body was inevitably gradually lost...

Until he turned into a ghost, Gu Chengmin still couldn't calm down his anger!

According to the rules of the underworld, before the first seven days, ghosts can go to see the people they care about.

Gu Chengmin spent every day with Xiao Qi, and every remaining night, he forced himself into Sheng Zi Pei's dream, threatening him in the dream——

"You and Xiao Qi will not end well together!!!"

The author has something to say: Gu Qing: After all the organs have been exhausted, it is still a mistake.

Sheng Zipei: It's too scary!Once in the dream, once she expresses her heart to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi will turn into Gu Chengmin and then jump over and strangle me to death. It's really scary! ! !
