Chapter 172 The Emperor Dies
Sun Dabao was still in a dilemma, "Your Highness, if the emperor finds out, this servant will have no way to explain it!"

Gu Gan's eyes sharpened, and he took out the golden sword on the knife holder next to him and put it on Sun Dabao's neck, "In your eyes, what I, the Lord of the East Palace, said is superfluous?"

Sun Dabao was so frightened that he was trembling all over, sweating profusely, "Your Highness, forgive me, this servant will go now, this servant will go now."

Gu Gan snorted coldly and retracted his sword, "Get lost!"

Sun Dabao got up and went to Tai Hospital.

After half a stick of incense, Imperial Physician Lin followed Sun Dabao to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Qianqing Palace.

After entering the door to greet Gu Gan, he kept bending over.

During this period of time, there have been imperial physicians in the imperial hospital who were ordered to be executed because they could not see Taihe Emperor's illness. Imperial physician Lin was called to come here, so he was naturally very disturbed.

Gu Gan frowned and glanced at him, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry to see the emperor!"

Doctor Lin's legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me."

Gu Gan frowned even deeper, "What do you mean?"

Imperial Physician Lin said truthfully: "The oldest physician in the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician He, was executed two days ago because he did not see the emperor's illness. His medical skills are inferior to that of Imperial Physician He, and he dare not make rash assertions that he will definitely be able to see it. Please Your Highness the Crown Prince pardon the old minister's capital crime, so that the old minister dares to take the emperor's pulse."

Gu Gan is now anxious to know about Emperor Taihe's physical condition, how can he manage so much, he waved his hand, "I forgive you in advance, get up and see a doctor!"

Doctor Lin thanked him, got up and sat in front of the dragon couch, tremblingly stretched out his hand to take Taihe Emperor's pulse.

Gu Qian kept his face tense and carefully observed the expression of Imperial Physician Lin, only to see that his brows were sometimes frowning solemnly, and sometimes the brows were stretched in a sudden realization.

Gu Gan looked anxiously, and asked directly, "What happened?"

Physician Lin stood up and replied with a trembling voice, "Except for the tenosynovitis of the fingers, the wrists cannot be overexerted, and the vocal cords have lesions and coughing, the emperor's heart aura is on the rise, and the improvement is just around the corner."

Gu Qian's black eyes gradually narrowed, "Are you sure you didn't misdiagnose?"

Imperial Physician Lin shook his body, "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can call other imperial physicians for a follow-up visit. The old minister will never dare to speak half a lie."

Of course Gu Gan was worried, he immediately asked Sun Dabao to go to the imperial hospital and invited several imperial physicians to come at the same time.

Everyone's diagnosis was the same as that of Imperial Physician Lin: Emperor Taihe had tenosynovitis in both hands, unable to use his strength, vocal cord lesions, and unable to speak.The great joy is that the heart pulse has been greatly improved compared with the past, which means that Emperor Taihe can't die for the time being.

The causes of tenosynovitis and vocal cord disease are not difficult to guess. The former is due to excessive fatigue, and the latter is due to recent anger. Fortunately, both of them can be treated with acupuncture and moxibustion.

Closing his eyes, Gu Ganping withdrew all the imperial physicians and looked at Emperor Taihe on the dragon couch with complicated eyes.

Did that woman really heal her father?

Fan Chen had an accident in Huating Mountain, Gu Qian didn't know the truth was that Emperor Taihe sent Huo Chiwei to deal with Fan Chen. In his consciousness, Jing Se would hate Emperor Taihe because Emperor Taihe always disagreed with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and Chu This is one of the royal marriages.

Second, Gu Gan automatically thinks that Jing Se doesn't want to make a marriage at all, and Jing Se refuses this marriage plan.

So logically speaking, Jing Se would be even less likely to heal the emperor.

But why?
The muscles at the corners of Gu Gan's mouth twitched because of his anger. Why did the father seem to be rejuvenated when this woman came!Doesn't she hate it?

This old man, if he hadn't opened his eyes and closed his eyes in those years, his mother and concubine would not have been murdered by that poisonous woman of the queen, and he would not have been born disabled and unable to get out of the ground because his mother and concubine lost her fetal gas in the winter. Become the laughing stock of the entire palace.

These accounts are deeply engraved in his bones one by one, and if he doesn't report them for a day, he hates them even in his sleep!

He hated, hated Emperor Taihe, hated the queen who had to pretend to be a snake and pretended to be a thief with a smile on his face, and even more hated the princes and princesses in this palace, but anyone who had ever laughed at him, he hated him to the bone.

If one day he rules the world, he will surely slaughter all those who have put pain on himself!
"His Royal Highness." Sun Dabao seldom saw the prince showing such an expression, he called out tremblingly.

"Since the father is fine, I can rest assured." Gu Qian said coldly and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe are still waiting outside.

Seeing Gu Qian coming out, the two stood up in a hurry and asked, "How is the emperor (father)?"

Gu Qiandao: "I've had the imperial physician come and see it, and there's nothing serious about it."

Princess Jiahua breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Qinghe said: "Then I'll go in and have a look at him."

Before taking a step forward, Princess Qinghe's wrist was grabbed by Gu Gan.

"Father is resting now, it's useless for you to go, it's better to wait for him to wake up before going in."

Princess Qinghe had no choice but to sit down again and accompany Princess Jiahua to wait for Emperor Taihe to wake up.

Gu Qiandao: "Aunt Huang, sister Huang, you two are waiting here. I still have some matters in the East Palace, so I will go back and deal with them first."

Princess Jiahua smiled politely, "The crown prince is in charge of the country, and there are naturally many affairs that need to be dealt with in the government. Go ahead, Qinghe and I are enough here."

Gu Qian gave a faint "hmm", walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and quickly left with his own people, but instead of going back to the East Palace, he went to the Xiefang Palace.

Jing Se was talking to Gu Xiaoxiao when the maid came in to report that the prince had arrived.

As a last resort, she and Gu Xiaoxiao got up and went to the outer hall to greet her.

Gu Qian's gaze paused on Gu Xiaoxiao, "Is Ten Sister better?"

Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her voice couldn't hear any emotion, "I'm worried about the crown prince, brother, and the medicine has been applied."

Gu Gan turned his gaze, looked at Jing Se, and said, "Xiaoxiao has been an introverted child since she was a child. It's rare that you can get along with her. I'm very happy to be the emperor's brother."

From an angle that Gu Gan didn't see, Jing Se curled her lips coldly, Gu Xiaoxiao was introverted?Gu Gan hadn't really gotten to know his younger sister seriously at all, and his ability to tell nonsense with open eyes was simply amazing.

Gu Xiaoxiao blessed her body, "If Brother Huang has something to do with Sister Qingping, then Sister Chen will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaoxiao turned around to leave.

Jing Se called her suddenly, "There is nothing you can't tell others. There is nothing shameful between me and the prince. You don't need to avoid suspicion, just stay here."

Gu Gan frowned, looked at Jing Se, "There is something, I really want to tell you alone."

"There are no secrets between you and me." Jing Se forced a smile, "Is there anything His Royal Highness that cannot be said in front of Xiaoxiao?"

"I..." Gu Gan was speechless.

"If even Xiaoxiao can't listen to it, then I don't dare to listen to it." Jing Se's tone contained a sense of driving people away.

Staring at Gu Xiaoxiao with cold eyes, Gu Gan shouted, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Gu Gan!" Jing Se said angrily, "Xiefang Palace is my territory, why do you drive away my guests?"

"When I speak, I don't like to have other people present." Gu Qian's eyes showed a domineering look that could not be rejected.

"That's good." Jing Se nodded, pulled Gu Xiaoxiao outside, and said in an extremely cold voice, "If you don't like being disturbed by others, I will make room for you. If you want to say something, you can say it inside." , After finishing speaking, let someone come out and let you know.”

"Jingse, stop!" Gu Qian was really angry this time, for this woman, he had already humbled himself to such an extent several times, and she was still unmoved, it was really annoying!
Jing Se didn't turn her head back, her face was full of disdain, "If I don't stop, can you kill me?"

"You!" Gu Qian gritted his teeth, his face darkened, he couldn't believe that he could handle a woman like Xia Mu, but he couldn't handle this woman in front of him.

She was clearly covered in poison, yet he became addicted again and again, even in his sleep he could not do without her figure.

Seeing that she was about to leave the hall completely, Gu Qian said directly, "I'll just ask you, what did you do when you went to see my father this morning?"

Jingse's footsteps stopped.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked shocked and looked at Jing Se.

There was no emotional change on Jingse's face, but there was still a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.

After a while, she said to Gu Xiaoxiao: "You go back first, and come to play with me when you have free time."

Gu Xiaoxiao tactfully left the Xiefang Hall immediately.

Jing Se turned around, sat down beside the table, and poured a cup of tea by himself, "So, His Royal Highness is here to ask the teacher for his crime?"

Gu Qian's words did not point out that there was something wrong with Mingtai and Di, and it was very likely that he was testing her and wanted her to show her feet automatically. Jingse could only pretend to be calm at this time, and instead tried to go back. .

At the same time, she slandered in her heart, relying on her medical skills, it should be no problem to successfully deceive the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, but after half an hour, did Gu Gan see the flaw?Or did he invite another doctor from outside the palace to see him?
Many questions hovered in her mind, but Jing Se's face was still calm, as if she couldn't understand what Gu Gan was saying.

Gu Gan was not polite, and sat directly beside her, his voice was very low, "Have you ever hated my father?"

"It's related to you?" Jing Se looked at him coldly.

"I like you, so it's naturally related to me." Gu Qian said bluntly.

"It's your own business that you like me." Jing Se looked disgusted, "As long as I don't agree, you will always be just a stranger to me. So, leave my affairs alone!"

Gu Gan grabbed her wrist, and his face approached her, "Is it that difficult to like me once?"

Jing Se struggled to get rid of him, with an angry expression on her face, "Get out before I get angry—"

Gu Qian was used to her indifference, "If you really hate my father, we can work together."

Jing Se narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You and Fan Shizi are a thing of the past." Seeing her distracted, Gu Qian thought that she was moved by his proposal, and continued: "You must not want to marry Dongli far away. Why don't you choose to cooperate with me, now you, all your fate is in the hands of others, are you willing to be at the mercy of others like a doll?"

Jing Se still remained silent, she heard a different meaning from Gu Qian's words.

Could it be that...Gu Gan didn't come to ask her to ask her a question?
"After saving my royal father, you can still only be a princess."

Gu Gan finally got to the point.

Jing Se suddenly realized that Gu Gan was blaming her for making Emperor Taihe's heart revive.She sneered secretly, Emperor Taihe is dying, how can it be possible to recover as before, the return to light is almost the same, the reason why she did that is to let everyone think that Emperor Taihe is getting better gradually, so as to ignore the people who have been tampered with by her wrists and vocal cords.

"But if you join hands with me, you may be the mother of a country in the future." Gu Gan didn't know what happened to him, but he dared to say such rebellious words in front of this woman that would make him be convicted and beheaded , but in front of her, he couldn't help but want to confide, and wanted to get all her support and understanding.

Jing Se sneered, "Gu Gan, maybe in your perception, all the women in this world are interested in that position, but in the end you will find that I am an exception."

Gu Gan's eyes were full of injuries, "Why don't you want to be a queen, but go to a place like Dongli to be a prince and concubine?"

"You manage too much."

"I've never had anything to do with you." He looked slumped and dark, "If I could control you, I wouldn't let you insist on marrying Dongli. If I could control you, I would have let you enter the East Palace a long time ago. Racking your brains to please you?"

"Have you finished?" Jing Se turned her head.

Gu Gan pursed his lips.

Jing Se said coldly: "Go out after you finish speaking. This is the imperial palace. His Royal Highness Ning Wang and Princess Zhaoran are still in the palace. I don't want to cause misunderstandings by having an extreme dispute with you. There is a saying that I hope you will remember, Your fiancée is Jing Wanbai, the third daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, who is the gentle and dignified woman you Gu Gan likes the most. Now you tell me that you like me behind her back, do you feel your face hurt?"

Gu Qian's face changed drastically. He liked the words of gentle and dignified women. He only told Xia Mu on the execution ground that day. How did Jing Se know about it?

Ignoring Gu Gan's expression like swallowing a fly, Jing Se went straight into the inner hall and closed the door with a bang.

Gu Gan stood up and left with doubts in his heart.

*
Just after noon, Fan Yue came into the palace, and I don't know what method he used, but he was able to reach the Xiefang Palace unimpeded all the way.

The person Jing Se doesn't want to see now is Fan Yue, because he is too smart, and he has doubted King Ning's identity since the short contact.

Therefore, upon hearing the news that Fan Yue was looking for him, Jing Se suddenly had a headache, but still had to come to see him.

"Tell me, who is that King Ning?" Fan Yue stood in the garden, staring at her with burning eyes.

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "You want to know so much, why don't you go to King Ning directly? No matter how bad it is, you can also go to Princess Zhaoran, maybe you can get the truth by sacrificing your appearance, what a bargain."

With a dark face, Fan Yue rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender arms.

Jing Se clearly saw a lot of bruises on his arms, obviously he was beaten up by someone.

"This..." Jing Se hesitated.

Fan Yue gritted his teeth, "Last night, that woman's masterpiece!"

"You...?" Jing Se blinked, thinking in that direction involuntarily.

No wonder Yin Xiangsi said in the morning that she would go back to catch up on sleep, so she went out to find Fan Yue last night?

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Fan Yue quickly explained, "I have nothing with her. It was she and Bo Qinghuan who made a bet on your wedding day and pulled me to make the bet. No matter who wins and who loses, in the end I was the one who was beaten."

Jing Se felt a little sympathetic to him, "That's really hard work for you."

"So." Fan Yue gritted his teeth again, "You let me go to that tigress, can she treat me well?"

"This..." Jing Se hesitated again, and his eyes became more sympathetic, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to describe Princess Zhaoran like this."

"Hmph!" Fan Yue said angrily: "If you don't agree with me, you will do it. Have you ever seen such a woman? If it's not a tigress, what is it?"

"This..." Jing Se hesitated for the third time, "Second Master, take care."

Fan Yue vaguely felt that something was wrong, he saw a figure getting closer and closer from Jing Se's pupils, and immediately his whole body trembled, and he wanted to run away.

The person who came was Yin Xiangsi who had just finished his sleep. She heard everything she said just now. When she saw Fan Yue and wanted to escape, she quickly dodged over and grabbed his ear, and said with a smile: "Second Master, Wencheng Wude, is for Why can't even beat a tigress?"

The last time I was humiliated by Yin Xiangsi pulling my ears on the street, and now she is pulling her ears in front of Jingse, Fan Yue's handsome face flushed with anger, "A gentleman speaks but doesn't move, a dead woman, first let me go!"

"Unfortunately, this princess is a tigress, not a gentleman." Yin Xiangsi raised an eyebrow, "I hit you because you robbed my brother's kiss last time, that's what you deserve, what, Are you not satisfied? Or is it itchy again?"

Fan Yue gritted his teeth in hatred, "You don't know why I snatched the marriage?"

"I don't know." Yin Xiangsi looked at him, "But I know that you robbed my sister-in-law. After all, how did you plan to rob her back then and how to arrange it? Did you marry it yourself or send it back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I..." Fan Yue stopped him. He originally planned to snatch back the one he married. As long as Jing Se can be left to take care of Xiao Baozi, even if he sacrificed his marriage, so what?

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Yin Xiangsi raised her lips, "Did the princess guess that you want to marry my sister-in-law?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fan Yue was annoyed, and glared at her angrily, "Who I marry is none of your business?"

"Why is it none of my business?" Yin Xiangsi said, "You are going to marry my sister-in-law, how can I, a sister-in-law, stand by and watch?"

"Fart!" In a fit of anger, Fan Yue cursed directly, "Both of them didn't pay homage, how did my sister-in-law become your sister-in-law?"

Yin Xiangsi smiled softly, and said softly, "Did the second master forget that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the adopted brother of the princess? Jing Se and my adopted brother are fiancée, won't she be my sister-in-law in the future?"

Fan Yue frowned.

"She and your brother have become history." Yin Xiangsi glanced at Jing Se and then at Fan Yue, "Now, she is my sister-in-law."

Fan Yue's chest heaved sharply with anger.

"Why, you still want to snatch the marriage this time?" Slowly let go of him, and flicked his red ear, "With my princess here, don't even think about it!"

Fan Yue covered his aching ears, looked at Jing Se, and pursed his lips, "Are you really going to Dong Li for a kiss?"

Jing Se looked indifferent, "Many people have asked me this sentence, and I have answered it many times. I have no choice."

"Who said you have no choice?" Fan Yue jumped up, "As long as you admit to Xiao Baozi... um..." No one would dare to let you make a kiss.

Before Fan Yue finished speaking, Yin Xiangsi covered his mouth forcefully and scolded angrily, "Second Master, this is the imperial palace, not your house!"

This is to remind Fan Yue not to talk nonsense.

Fan Yue also knew that he was too impulsive just now, he immediately shut up, and at the same time he became suspicious, could it be that Xiao Qi already knew about Xiao Baozi?Otherwise, why did she stop him from saying that?

Leaving Yin Xiangsi suspiciously, Fan Yue narrowed his eyes.

Yin Xiangsi knew what Fan Yue was wondering about, and she never thought of explaining it.

Glancing at him, he walked directly in the direction where Jingse was.

Seeing this, Fan Yue followed up.

Yin Xiangsi turned around and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"This is the Xiefang Hall of the Imperial Palace, and it's not your territory. You can come here as you please?" Fan Yue raised his chin, and the delicate contours of his facial features were backlit, presenting an indescribable hazy beauty.

Eyelids twitched, Yin Xiangsi quickly looked away, but did not stop Fan Yue.

The three entered the hall.

Jing Se didn't bother to summon the eyeliner maids that Gu Gan arranged beside her, so she had to serve tea to Yin Xiangsi and Fan Yue herself.

"You two came here with a tacit understanding. Tell me, why do you want me?" Sitting down again, Jing Se cut to the point.

Fan Yue snorted softly, "I'm here, of course I want to ask you something about King Ning."

Jing Se glanced at the palace servants who were shuttling outside, and said resolutely, "I refuse to answer this question."

Seeing that Fan Yue was deflated, Yin Xiangsi smiled a few times, "I'm idle and bored, so I came to talk to you, sister-in-law."

"What do you want to talk about?" Jing Se asked.

"Hmm..." Yin Xiang thought for a while, "Since my sister-in-law is going to marry Dongli, let's talk about Dongli's customs so that you can understand in advance, so that you won't feel uncomfortable when you marry."

"Sounds good." Jing Se nodded, "You might as well talk about it."

Yin Xiangsi smiled happily, and unhurriedly shared the different customs and anecdotes between Dongli and Xiqin.

Fan Yue kept responding with a disdainful attitude and sneered until Yin Xiangsi casually said, "On our side, if you offend your father-in-law, the consequences will be very serious."

"Pfft—" Fan Yue spouted out a mouthful of tea, which immediately attracted Yin Xiangsi's frowning gaze.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Fan Yue took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "My mouth feels uncomfortable."

He just remembered that he had shouted "old man" to Xiao Qi's father on Tianshui Street on the day of the robbery, and shouted "old man" to the right, and he shouted with confidence.

Glaring at him, Yin Xiangsi continued talking to Jing Se.

Fan Yue couldn't sit still, and kept looking outside.

When Jing Se saw it, she couldn't help laughing, and said: "If the second master has something else to do, go back first, and don't deliberately sit here with us."

Fan Yue stood up as if he had received an amnesty, and walked out of the Xie Fang Hall.

Yin Xiangsi looked at his back, and helplessly spread her hands, "Don't think about it, I must be looking for my brother-in-law who refuses to show his true colors."

There are many eyeliners in the palace, Yin Xiangsi never mentions Fan Chen's name, even if someone hears it, there will be no suspicion.

"By the way, sister-in-law, have you finished dealing with everything here?"

"There are still some trivial matters." Jing Se rubbed her forehead, "I will finish it as soon as possible."

"Then you can hurry up, seeing that the wedding day is approaching, lest you go over there and miss the people and things here, that's not good."

Getting up and walking to Jing Se's side, Yin Xiangsi whispered in her ear, "That emperor of yours has only his last breath left?"

"It's almost there." Jing Se nodded, "Probably before we set off, he won't be able to wake up again."

"Ha! You are so courageous!" Yin Xiangsi clicked her tongue.

"The courage is because of the deep hatred." Jing Se said: "If you change from my perspective, your methods may be more sinister."

Yin Xiangsi rolled his eyes, "I haven't thought about this question yet."

With a smile in her eyes, Jing Se said, "You and the second master Vatican are clearly intended by Lang Youqing's concubine, why did you separate back then?"

Yin Xiangsi murmured, "You really want to know?"

Jing Se nodded seriously.

"Actually, it's easy to say." Yin Xiangsi said: "It's not that I don't have feelings, but that I was not ready to accept this kind of love between a man and a woman, and I felt that being together for a long time would make me tired, and I would definitely hate each other in the future, so We resolutely separated and left a good impression on each other."

"What about now?" Jing Se asked again: "Is there any possibility of getting back together?"

"This..." Yin Xiangsi frowned, "I can't tell."

"I always think you care about him." Jing Se said with a smile.

"I care because I still have feelings!" Yin Xiangsi was not shy, and directly admitted, "After all, we were together once, even if we have been separated for many years, the taste of love for the first time will never fade away. When I was in Dongli, I asked my mother to help select a lot of county horses, but I despise anyone, because no one is like him."

Jing Se smiled lowly, "I don't understand that you are clearly still in love, but you want to separate forcibly, and miss each other after separation, wouldn't it be better to be together directly?"

Yin Xiangsi said: "The reason why you say that is because you are spoiled by a certain person. He and I are not as tired as you are. He is so sweet that your teeth are about to fall out. He and I were friends in the same family at first. Nao Nao's age is probably the time when the relationship was formed, think about it, the person who has always been treated as a buddy by you suddenly said that he likes you one day, can you quickly accept this change?"

"It's really too abrupt." Jing Se said truthfully.

"I thought so too at the time." Yin Xiangsi continued: "But I couldn't hold back the young girl's spring heart, so we got together in a daze, but after we got together, I realized that we can never go back to the old fights During that time, every time I saw him, I felt my heart was beating fast, and he would blush. Although this feeling was unprecedented, I also thought it was good, but there were fewer topics between us, and we didn’t know each other every time we met. What to say, what to do, that kind of scene is extremely embarrassing."

"Compared to getting along with each other, I miss the past time more, probably he thought so too, and then we two had an inexplicable quarrel, since that day, I walked my Yangguan Road, and he crossed his single-plank bridge. On the second day, he withdrew from the division and went down the mountain, and never went back."

After hearing this, Jing Se suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

It turned out that they were young and didn't know how to accept and properly deal with the sudden love, so they got together too quickly and separated too quickly.

"It's been so many years since you two still miss each other, so the excitement at the beginning is unforgettable." Jing Se took a sip of tea, "A breakthrough is most needed between the two of you right now."

Yin Xiangsi's eyes flashed, "What breakthrough?"

Jing Se said: "It is to let each other find the breakthrough of their hearts."

Looking back, Jing Se found that the four months that she and Fan Chen were separated were the breakthrough point for their relationship to warm up. If they hadn't separated, if she hadn't seen him stabbing the dagger in his hand back at his own chest, she might have You will never find out how deep your feelings for him are.

When Yin Xiangsi heard this, she curled her lips, "Forget it, I think it's good."

Seeing that she didn't care much about feelings, Jing Se stopped persuading her too much, and just said: "Emotions are the most difficult thing to clean up and mess up. The authorities are obsessed, and the bystanders may not be clear. You still have to follow." Let your own feelings go, if you think it's time to be together, then go to him, the second master clearly has you in his heart."

Yin Xiangsi looked a little dazed, and did not answer Jing Se's words.

*
After Fan Yue left the Xiefang Hall, he went straight to the palace where Dongli's envoy lived, and found King Ning's Yutang Hall without fail, but was blocked by Dongli's guards.

Fan Yue frowned, and said: "I am Fan Yue from Prince Chu's Mansion, and I have something to do with King Ning."

The guard asked: "Have you delivered the post beforehand?"

"No." Fan Yue replied angrily, thinking to himself that this Prince Ning has a lot of shit, and he has to send a post in advance when he sees him?
"Then you can't go in." The guard said with a wooden face.

Fan Yue took a look inside and said dissatisfied: "Prince Ning has no guests, why didn't you let me in?"

The guard remained expressionless, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning likes to be pure, if he hadn't personally agreed to meet the guests, he would not have met them easily."

Fan Yue gritted his teeth, stood outside and yelled, "Prince Ning, if you don't come out to see the Lord, the Lord will find a way to let your unmarried concubine marry into the Chu Palace, do you believe it?"

Nothing happened inside.

The guards were speechless.

Fan Yue still didn't give up, and yelled again inside.

The guards automatically ignored it as if they hadn't heard.

Fan Yue shouted for a long time, but he didn't recognize him inside, not to mention King Ning, he couldn't even see a shadow.

"Hello! Is he not inside?" Fan Yue glanced at the guards.

The guard remained silent.

Fan Yue rolled his eyes, "If you don't speak again, I will force my way in."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction, and directly jumped on his toes to fly in from the tall palace wall. All the guards were startled, and they drew their swords from their waists to stop him, and they quickly huddled together.

At this time, King Ning's voice finally came from inside.

"Is this the way of Vatican II's visit?"

As the voice fell, King Ning, who was dressed in moon-white embroidered silver and bamboo dark patterns, walked out with his hands behind his back. There was no emotion on his masked face, and his only eyes were as deep as cold pools.

All the guards stopped and knelt down on one knee, "His Royal Highness King Ning—"

Fan Yue also paused, looked at the man standing not far in front of him, and said nothing for a long time.

"If it's all right, please come back, Lord Fan. The king has no intention of seeing guests." After a long while without hearing Fan Yue's voice, King Ning showed impatience and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Fan Yue reacted suddenly and called him.

King Ning paused slightly, "What's the matter?"

"I have high-quality Gongmei tea here, and I would like to invite His Royal Highness Ning Wang to taste it together. I wonder if you can appreciate it?"

After Fan Yue finished speaking, he took out a small box containing Gongmei tea.

King Ning raised his hand, "Let Master Vatican come in."

The guards all moved out of the way.

Fan Yue swayed and followed King Ning into the main hall.

After sitting down, Fan Yue handed the Gongmei tea to King Ning, and said in his mouth: "I am a rough man, I don't know how to order tea, I hope King Ning will teach me how to bring out the tea fragrance of Gongmei tea to the extreme. .”

King Ning twitched his lips, and pushed the tea box back to Fan Yue, "I think Master Fan Er may have found the wrong person."

Fan Yue raised his eyebrows.

"This king is not good at tea ceremony." He said each word very slowly, "I am a warrior, and I don't know anything about such elegant things."

Fan Yue half-closed his eyes suspiciously, looking at the palm of his hand.

Since he is a warrior, his palms should be full of calluses.

King Ning dodged deftly, just keeping his face out of Fan Yue's sight.

Fan Yue became even more suspicious, he stood up abruptly, and quickly reached out with his hands to undo King Ning's mask.

King Ning slapped the table heavily, and the teacup on the table flew up and hit Fan Yue's wrist, stopping his movement.

Fan Yue might as well, his wrist hurts, his body is unbalanced and he sits on the armchair, his tone is displeased, "Why does King Ning dare not show his true colors?"

King Ning's voice was light, "This king's appearance is naturally only allowed to be seen by the princess."

Fan Yue gritted his teeth, "But you never lifted your mask in front of Jing Se."

"This king gave her a chance, but she didn't want it."

"You!" Fan Yue was furious, "you are too deceitful!"

King Ning raised his eyebrows, "Why, you West Qin people like to strike at the slightest disagreement?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Fan Yue said: "It's all because King Ning is an exception."

"What kind of 'exception' law?"

"I always feel that you have a feeling that is familiar to me." Fan Yue didn't shy away. He had long suspected that King Ning was Fan Chen, but no matter how he thought about it, he found it impossible. Even if his brother was not dead, how could he? It's King Ning of Dongli Kingdom, which is too incredible.

King Ning smiled, "Master Vatican might as well think about it from another angle, maybe Princess Qingping agreed to go to Dongli to get married because she found a familiar feeling from me?"

Fan Yue's eyes widened suddenly.

King Ning really woke up the dreamer with one word. No wonder he always felt that Jing Se insisted on going to Dongli was a bit strange. Looking back now, isn't it because Jing Se also found that King Ning looked like his elder brother?

Standing up quickly to say goodbye, Fan Yue quickly returned to Xiefang Hall.

Yin Xiangsi was still sitting in the garden chatting with Jing Se, when Fan Yue rushed in.

Yin Xiangsi was taken aback, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

Fan Yue didn't answer, but stared straight at Jing Se, "The reason why you agreed to go to Dongli to get married, is it because King Ning has an aura that resembles the boss of our family?"

Jing Se was slightly surprised in his heart, but there was no reaction on his face, "Fan Yue, are you dazed?"

"Isn't it?" Fan Yue's eyes were deeply entangled, not letting go of any expression on Jing Se's face.

"No." Jing Se gave an answer with certainty, "Your brother is gone, but I still have a long life to go, can you all let me go and leave me alone?"

Fan Yue remained silent for a long time, finally softened his tone, and said in a low voice: "I just don't want little bun..." Just like that, he lost his mother.

At this point, Fan Yue suddenly woke up, glanced at Yin Xiangsi vacantly, and saw that her face was normal, and she didn't seem to hear what he said, so he was a little relieved.

Jing Se said: "I admit that it's a bit immoral to just leave like this, but your brother and I are not married, and he is gone. No matter how you look at it, I have no reason to keep festivals for him. You have been so entangled, have you ever thought about my feelings? He and I did have a marriage contract, but this is not a reason for you to bind me to stay in Chu Palace, is it? I am not a puppet, I have my own thoughts and ideas Plan, why do you just refuse to give me a chance to survive, and you have to press every step of the way? Even if I follow you back to Chu Palace, or even marry you according to what you said, for a person like me whose heart is already cold , what do you think is the difference between me being alive and dead?"

Fan Yue was silenced by her.

Yin Xiangsi's eyes moved slightly, "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one family. Since Jing Se has decided to marry Dong Li, and she is willing to marry, the Second Vatican should not continue to put pressure on her." Well, if you do this, Dongli will be very embarrassed."

"Okay." Fan Yue finally let go, and looked at Jing Se, "From now on, I will not come to you because of this matter again, who you want to marry and where you marry has nothing to do with the Chu Palace !"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, his back was so determined that there was no trace of nostalgia.

Yin Xiangsi looked at Jing Se with a smile, "You offended him like this, aren't you afraid that you won't get along well in the future?"

Jing Se said, "Don't you still have you?"

Yin Xiangsi immediately rolled his eyes.

"It's forced by the situation." Jing Se looked at the direction Fan Yue left, and said slowly: "At present, his identity cannot be revealed anyway, otherwise it will bring us countless troubles. I stimulated Fan Yue like this. , Let him completely give up, lest he run to me every three days and go to find King Ning, if someone finds out, it will be very difficult for us to get out of trouble."

Yin Xiangsi nodded, "You are right."

In the evening, someone from Qianqing Palace came to report that the emperor was awake, and Gu Gan raised his head from the mountain of memorials, "Okay, I will go over immediately."

After asking someone to sort out the memorials on the imperial case, Gu Qian went to the inner hall to change his clothes before rushing to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Qianqing Palace.

I met Jingse on the way.

Thinking of her cold heart and heartlessness during the day, his heart felt like a needle was pricked, but he still couldn't bear to pass by, so he called out to her, "Where are you going?"

"Nothing to do, just walk around." Jing Se said.

"The emperor is awake, would you like to accompany me to have a look?" Gu Gan asked.

"Are you awake?" Jing Se pursed her lips, "Then I really should go and visit, lest people think that I, the princess, don't appreciate the emperor's love at all."

In fact, Jing Se originally wanted to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see Emperor Taihe, but she didn't expect to meet Gu Gan on the way, so she had to change the way temporarily and wanted to stagger with him, but now it seems that she can't avoid it no matter what, so she simply It doesn't matter to follow him to take a look, it just so happens that she also wants to know what Taihe Emperor's reaction will be when he sees her after waking up.

It's rare that Jing Se didn't look at each other coldly, Gu Qian finally felt his heart warmed up, and the two quickly came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation together.

Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe, who had been waiting for a day, were still inside. When they heard that the prince was coming, they both stood up and bowed symbolically.

Princess Qinghe raised her head to see Jingse, and frowned severely.

Jing Se ignored Princess Qinghe's expression, and asked with a smile, "I wonder how the emperor is recovering?"

Princess Jiahua and Princess Qinghe didn't speak, and their eyes were fixed on Jingse.

Gu Gan walked over and sat in front of the dragon couch and looked at Emperor Taihe.

Emperor Taihe had already woken up, and he was very relieved to see Gu Gan approaching. However, when his eyes touched Jingse standing behind Gu Gan, Emperor Taihe suddenly became frightened, his old eyes turned blood red instantly, and he tried to open his mouth, throat. The mouth can only make a "ho ho" sound, but can't say anything.

His withered hands wanted to grab Gu Gan's sleeves, but his ten fingers couldn't be straightened, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Gu Gan was full of doubts, and looked back, only Jing Se was behind him.

Could it be that the father is afraid of Jing Se?
But why?
Princess Jiahua noticed something strange, hurriedly came over and pushed Jingse away, cursing, "You bastard, you scared my brother like this when you came, what should you do!"

"Imperial Aunt!" Gu Gan yelled sharply, directly frightening Princess Jiahua into a stunned place.

"Whether it's the mistress of Jing's second bedroom or the eldest princess of West Qin, please be careful when you speak!"

Gu Qian's voice became colder.

Princess Jiahua gritted her teeth fiercely, "Prince, what is your attitude? Just because you like this woman, you are biased towards her everywhere? Even your imperial aunt dare to shout?"

Gu Gan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stabbed Princess Jiahua like an ice knife, "I am the crown prince, so I need to report to you if I want to yell at anyone?"

Princess Jiahua was shocked, "Prince, how did you become like this?"

"I don't want to hear the voice of the imperial aunt, please go out." Gu Qian closed his eyes, "I don't want to repeat it a second time."

Princess Jiahua's teeth trembled with hatred, but she couldn't refute, so she had to withdraw reluctantly.

"You too." Gu Qian opened his eyes and looked at Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe frowned, "Brother Huang, I am the biological daughter of the royal father. Now you let a princess with a foreign surname stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and drive my biological daughter out. What is the reason for this?"

Gu Qiandao: "What I say is the truth."

Princess Qinghe took a sharp breath, "Okay! You are fine!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Jing Se coldly, and walked out with his sleeves thrown.

When only Taihe Emperor, Gu Qian, Jing Se and Sun Dabao were left in the inner hall, Gu Qiancai once again turned his attention to Taihe Emperor, "Father, do you have something to say?"

Emperor Taihe raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to point at Jing Se and tell Gu Qian that this woman is a fierce ghost who has come back for revenge, and she must not be allowed to get close, otherwise the Gu family's country will be destroyed sooner or later because of this woman.

However, there was no strength in his wrist at all, and his arm only raised a little and then lowered.

Jing Seyan smiled at Yanyan, "Your Majesty, do you want me to see you again?"

Emperor Taihe shook his head violently, his whole body convulsed in fright.

Gu Qian became more and more puzzled, "Father, what happened to you?"

Jing Se held a cold silver needle between her two fingers hidden in the brocade sleeve, and the tip of the needle was just pointed in the direction of Emperor Taihe.

Gu Gan sat with his back to Jing Se, and didn't see this scene at all.

Emperor Taihe's chest rose and fell sharply, and the sound of "ho ho ho ho ho" continued to come out from his throat. The moment he saw the sinister and cold smile on the corner of Jing Se's mouth, his eyes widened to the extreme, and he couldn't take a breath. The ground hangs down, breathless.
