Chapter 324
Jin Sheng got up silently.

After she stabilized herself, Nujia let go of her hand.

Suddenly, Jin Sheng felt that the crown on her head was too heavy, and it was almost difficult for her to breathe. She could only raise her head slightly and maintain an elegant posture so that it would not fall off.

She held back all her emotions and walked in front, while Nujia was behind her, always keeping a step away, courteous and courteous.

Jin Sheng walked out of the banquet hall, and suddenly saw Qingge standing at the door, her gaze was looking at the gate of the palace, in the night, the figure of that person had already disappeared.

"Mom." Qingge came up to her, seeing Jin Sheng's pale face and red eyes, her heart ached slightly.

Jin Sheng was sad and whispered, "It's getting late, Qingge, go back and rest."

At this moment, Qingge was choked with many words in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, she said: "I'll take you back."

Jin Sheng raised her hand slightly, and said in a low voice, "No need." After finishing speaking, she passed Qingge and walked towards the corridor.

Qingge stood where she was, even with Nujia beside Jinsheng, but she still felt Jinsheng's back, just like Gu Yongchun, a lonely shadow, with a feeling of bleak ending.In the bottom of her heart, she was deeply regretful, and she knew clearly that her parents would never get together again in this life.

Jin Sheng's heart seemed to be hollowed out. She was depressed and lost her mind. Every step she took, she felt as if her feet were filled with lead, which was unbearably heavy. The distance was obviously not far, but it made her feel very far away.For the rest of my life, it seems that every minute and every second is too long.

Pain and loneliness will accompany her in the long years to come.In her whole life, she will be lonely until she grows old.

She walked through the corridor, and when she stepped up the steps, she stumbled and almost fell down, but fortunately Nujia quickly held her up.

"Thank you." She whispered, but weakly.

Nujia silently shook her head, this time, the arm supporting her did not let go.

Back in Jinsheng's room, just as she sat down, Nu Jia squatted in front of her and asked, "Do you want to eat something more?"

Jin Sheng shook her head, sad and sad, she didn't seem to feel hungry or full anymore.

"Jin Sheng, you are too thin," Nu Jia looked at her, and smiled lightly, that smile was like a spring breeze, "You may not be hungry, but the child still needs nutrition."

Nujia didn't wait for her to speak, and ordered the maid to bring some food.

"Nu Jia," Jin Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, his pale face had a feeling of cleanliness, she said, "Thank you."

"Thank you?" Nujia smiled slightly, "You forgot, we are husband and wife."

couple?When Jin Sheng thought about what happened at the banquet tonight, she was a little embarrassed, and whispered, "I'm sorry about what happened tonight." His tolerance and generosity made her feel guilty. After a little silence, she finally sighed, but It was like an oath, "In the future, it won't happen." The man in front of her is her husband, even though he is very tolerant, she should give him the respect he deserves.

"You're not wrong, you don't need to say sorry to me," Nuja said.

Jin Sheng's face was even more embarrassing.

"I'm very happy because you are by my side." Nujia's tone was clear and light, and the waves in his words could not be heard.

"Nujia, I don't deserve your kindness to me." The kinder he was to her, the more guilty Jin Sheng felt, the more he felt that he had failed his affection.

"Whether it's worth it or not, I just need to know," Nujia seemed to be talking to himself.

Today Sheng is embarrassed.

The maid brought the food, and Nuja served her soup.

Jin Sheng really didn't have any appetite at all, but thinking of the child in his belly, he endured and finished the soup.Then, under Nujia's supervision, she ate some food and couldn't eat any more.

"Would you like to go to the garden to refresh yourself?" Nujia said, "The night lotus blooms over there, it's very beautiful."

A quarter of an hour later, they were already strolling by the lotus pond.

In the lotus pond at night, the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of lotus leaves, which is pleasant to the heart and lungs. Today, Sheng's depressed mood and chaotic thoughts are a little better.

Jin Sheng strolled, silent.

"Love him so much, why don't you go with him?" In the night, Nujia's words were calm and distant.

Jin Sheng's footsteps were slightly stagnant, looking at the lotus pond everywhere, his heart was slightly confused and slightly mournful.She had asked herself this sentence more than once, even though the answer in her heart was honest, but... reason made her very clear.But she never thought that Nujia would ask her in such a calm tone.

"I selfishly want you to stay by my side," Nujia said with a touch of bitterness, "but I don't want to see you in a state of despair. Rather than you staying by my side, it's better...you Go back to him." He loves her, loves her deeply, so he sees all this thoroughly, and when he says these words, he feels conflicts and struggles in his heart, which is extremely painful.

After stabilizing his emotions, Jin Sheng finally spoke quietly, but there was too much helplessness and bitterness accumulated in his words, "Nujia, I'm really sorry, because of me, I made you embarrassed."

In the end, she failed the two men.

She can't give Gu Yongchun the life together she wants, and she can't give Nu Jia the love she wants.She is a selfish woman.

"I don't want your apology," Nu Jia looked at her back, "Jin Sheng, what I want is for you to be happy." He once thought that he would be the one who gave her happiness, and after marriage, they respected each other like a best friend. , But tonight he discovered that he couldn't give her the happiness she wanted, because he was not the one she loved deeply.

happiness?

In her opinion, what a luxury word, this life is destined to miss her.

"The crown on my head is too heavy," Jin Sheng whispered, "You know, I can't push it away." Her suffering, her suffering, and the responsibility she shouldered made her suffer unspeakably.There are many things that I can't talk about, and I don't know how to talk, so I can only choke in my heart.

Nujia suddenly asked, "Then do you want to push it away?"

Jin Sheng was sadly silent, and then smiled wryly, "You know very well that this is impossible."

"There is nothing impossible," Nujia said firmly, "only...do you want to."

Jin Sheng lowered his eyes and fell into boundless silence.Think, so what?Knowing that it's impossible, to persist in extravagant hopes is just to add troubles to oneself.

In the current Danlai royal family, she is the most direct lineage. In terms of bloodline, no one is purer than her bloodline, and in terms of origin, no one is more noble than her. Therefore, when the king asked to amend the constitution at the internal affairs meeting , when female heirs can also succeed to the throne, no one dared to object explicitly.

"I also hope that someone can help me shoulder such responsibilities." She was not greedy for power, she whispered, "but..." she said after a silence, "I can't let Danlai be like other big oil countries. Food, and I don't want it to get caught up in the flames of war."

At this moment, Nujia's thoughts are very clear. He is a Danlai nobleman, and he is naturally very clear about the current situation in the royal family. There are some things that are just not put on the table.

There are many people who are eyeing the throne.

If Jin Sheng gives up the throne, then after the king's death, the throne will be inherited by the descendants of the king's half-brother, the deceased Prince Zena.

The mother of Prince Zena, that European woman, was the former king's first love. The former king met when he was studying in Europe when he was the crown prince. Later, she quietly gave birth to Prince Zena.

After the former king returned to Danlai after studying abroad, he married the daughter of a noble family in Danlai. The next year, he ascended the throne, and then gave birth to the current king, who is Jinsheng's father.

Later, the European woman was found, and soon, she rekindled her old relationship with the former king. In order to deprive her of the queen's position, she borrowed the power of a big European country to plan the turmoil in Danlai, and even made her son become the queen. The crown prince, she used all means to kill Jin Sheng's parents, so that they were forced to go into exile, and Jin Sheng was entrusted to the Gu family.

The former king originally wanted to remarry her as queen, but the cabinet ministers raised objections on the grounds that she was not from Danlai. For this reason, she killed the then prime minister and speaker within a month. Later, when she When all the conspiracies were exposed, she was ruthlessly abandoned and hunted down by the former king.

Because the life and death of Sheng's parents in exile are unknown, and the Danlai royal family has no successors, so the former king brought back her son Zena from Europe and honored him as the prince.

Prince Jena was born and raised in Europe, and his thinking tends to be westernized. When he became the crown prince, he repeatedly suggested that the troops of European powers be stationed in Danlai.

The rich Danlai was originally the target of many great powers, and his suggestions were blatant traitors. Then, he intensified and even wanted to murder the former king. So far, the former king could no longer tolerate it. When he heard the news that Jinsheng's parents were still alive, the former king reluctantly executed Prince Zena quietly, but left behind his infant son Betna, who was Rita's father.

Before Qingge came back, Betna was the second in line to the throne.That is to say, if Jinsheng gives up the throne, then Benata will succeed the king.

Jinsheng’s noble birth and pure bloodlines are the beliefs of the people of Danlai. The cabinet headed by Prime Minister Hajah is also very supportive of Jinsheng. If Betna succeeds to the throne, he will definitely reorganize the cabinet and replace it with his own People, then it will be worrying that Danlai people will face such a situation.

But now, there is conclusive evidence that Betner has connections with some illegal organizations abroad. On the surface, he is an idle nobleman, but he has been arranging forces abroad, smuggling troops and drugs, and secretly eyeing the throne. If he succeeds to the throne, European influence will inevitably be introduced. After that, Danlai, who is rich, may become the meat of those so-called strong people.

In fact, based on what Bettner did, he could be sentenced to prison or expelled from the country, but the former king killed his grandmother and father in succession, and couldn't bear to hurt him again, so he left a message to the king, requesting that Be kind to Bethner, and no matter what he does wrong, don't hurt him.

In view of this, in order to cause future troubles, the king kept him away from political affairs, and only let him be an idle prince.

But Beitner saw that the king was old, and his covetousness for the throne sprouted in his heart again. He appeared to be calm, but in fact, he did a lot of things in private. The king vetoed it.

The resentment in his heart suddenly grew, but he didn't dare to make a bold move.So, he prepared with both hands, win over the cabinet ministers, and continued to plan to enter the internal affairs meeting; to be sure, he offered to adopt his daughter Rita to Jinsheng as his daughter, so that Rita would become the second in line heir.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingge's appearance interrupted his plan. For this reason, he was aggrieved and once poisoned Qingge's meals. One fell through.

But according to Bettner's personality, he will definitely not let it go. He has been very abnormal recently, and his low-key is confusing. I don't know what he is planning.

This Benet has become a cancer of the royal family, leaving a hidden danger to the current political situation.

……

Nujia approached her, stood side by side with her, looked sideways at her side face, the night covered her paleness, her perfect side face became even more charming, his tone was shallow, "Jin Sheng, Would you love me without him?"

Jin Sheng was slightly startled, and after silence, he said softly, "Nujia, without ifs, all assumptions are untenable... We can only face the status quo." She seemed to promise, "I am your wife." , and can only be his wife in name. If he failed his feelings, all she can give is this so-called title.

There was a faint smile on Nujia's lips, and she stretched out her hand, "It's late at night, go back and rest."

Jin Sheng nodded.

Their figures were stretched longer by the streetlights in the night, and Nujia cooperated with her steps, always one step behind her, watching her thin back, he felt very lonely in his heart.

Send her back to the room, "Go to bed early." He said.

Jin Sheng nodded slightly.

"Good night." Nujia stepped back and left.

Watching his figure disappear outside the door, Jin Sheng lowered his eyes, and there was a boundless emptiness in his heart.Nujia's frankness made her feel guilty in her heart, but she felt extremely at ease, because he respected her.

But when she thought of Gu Yongchun, boundless pain filled her heart.Her heart, her life, her death, and everything about her are all up to her.

Nu Jia went downstairs, his steps were not as idle as in the past, and he was rare and neat. He didn't look back, and whispered to the people around him, "Get the car ready, I'm going out."

Shi Cong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately bowed his head in response. "yes."

……

Gu Yongchun returned to the hotel, met Gu Fengcheng in the corridor, glanced at his son-in-law, and he entered his room.

Gu Fengcheng also followed in. He knew that Gu Yongchun had gone to the palace tonight, and seeing his cold face, he thought that this trip was not smooth, and he should have gotten nothing like him.Immediately, he felt sympathetic, and handed Gu Yongchun a cigarette. With a snap, the lighter ignited, and he handed over the cluster of blue flames.

Gu Yongchun held the cigarette resentfully, without looking at him, lowered his head, and lit the cigarette.Afterwards, Gu Fengcheng also lit a cigarette.

Weng and son-in-law both frowned and smoked, and soon, there was smoke and mist in front of them.

After a long time, Gu Yongchun spoke, "I'm flying back home tomorrow afternoon, will you come with me, or stay a few more days?"

Gu Fengcheng took a breath of cigarettes, then brushed off the ashes with his fingers, his brows were frowned, and there was a hint of anger in his words: "I won't keep it." His mood was not much better than that of Gu Yongchun.

Gu Yongchun was a little surprised. Aren't their little husband and wife like glue? "Why?"

"It's boring." Gu Fengcheng said unhappily, every time she slapped him with a candy, not only made him powerless to fight back, but also helpless.This feeling of not being able to grasp the situation is quite bad.

Well!Gu Yongchun's face turned cold again, depressed and unhappy, is this kid deliberately showing off in front of him?Because compared to him, Gu Fengcheng's situation is much better, at least, Qingge has a return date, but what about him?His current Sheng...

"She said that she won't be returning to China for the time being," Gu Fengcheng said with a lump in his heart, not painful but extremely uncomfortable, "If I had known earlier, I would have brought Xiaoguai to her and see what she would do."

Gu Yongchun mocked lightly, "Aren't you afraid, losing your wife and losing your army? At that time, you won't even be able to take Xiaoguai away?" Qingge has inherited Jin Sheng's stubbornness, and will not change his mind easily when he decides on something.

Well!Gu Fengcheng frowned, and then, he was stunned in his heart, hum, if she dared to do this, he would go directly to the palace, rely on her, live in her room, press her on the bed, and when he was distracted, he would see her still Dare to speak hard.But this kind of rascal talk, just think about it, but dare not say it in front of his father-in-law.

The two husbands and sons-in-law have their own worries, and they are extremely unhappy. When they smoke, they smoke so much that they can't open their eyes, but they still smoke one after another.

At this moment of silence surrounded by smog, Jiang Chen walked in.

Without raising his eyelids, Gu Yongchun said, "Jiang Chen, inform Prime Minister Danlai to come over at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to sign the natural gas cooperation agreement."

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, hasn't this cooperation been cancelled?Why are you signing again?But Gu Yongchun's decision, how dare he question it, he replied: "Okay."

Gu Yongchun snuffed out the cigarette butt, reached out to Gu Fengcheng, "Come again."

Gu Fengcheng took out the cigarette case, gave him the cigarette, and handed him the blue flame.

The scene in front of him made Jiang Chen's glasses hard.

Jiang Chen knew that Gu Yongchun wanted to smoke, but he was relatively self-disciplined. He would smoke no more than two cigarettes a day, and he would never smoke cigarettes given to him by others. Of course, he would never ask anyone to smoke, but just now... he Thinking about it, Gu Yongchun should be in a bad mood at this moment.

Just when Jiang Chen was hesitating, Gu Yongchun took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke circle and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "There is a guest who wants to see you."

Gu Yongchun raised his eyebrows, displeased, "No see!" He is in a bad mood at the moment, depressed and difficult, and he doesn't want to see anyone.

"Yes." After Jiang Chen hesitated, he went out.

In less than 5 minutes, he came in again, "Secretary Gu, the guest insists on seeing you."

"I don't see you." Gu Yongchun frowned, but still refused. He smoked so hard that most of the cigarette he just lit had been burned.

Jiang Chen said in embarrassment, "He said, he won't leave until he sees you."

Gu Yongchun was furious, and his face was quite bad. Who was so blind, insisted on seeing him when he was extremely upset, and asked unhappily: "Who is it?"

"He said..." Jiang Chen lowered his eyelids, "He said he is Princess Danlai's husband."

Gu Fengcheng, who was puffing and smoking, was slightly taken aback.

But Gu Yongchun was slightly surprised, then his face darkened slightly, and there was a bitter smile mixed with a sneer on his lips.
