As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 116 Defection
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should go to bed early." The palace maid looked at Concubine Liu Gui who was sitting by the window in distress, and whispered.

Two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously, and Liu Yingying said to herself, "He didn't come."

"What did you say?" The maid did not hear clearly and repeated it carefully.

"That's all, change my clothes for me." Liu Yingying got up and wiped away the tears on her face.

The maid went in without knowing it, but she still responded.

——outside the palace

Qiu Yeli and Gu Jingyao were sitting in the yard, having a drink with the moon in front of the stone table, "Now that Princess Xianbei has entered the palace as a concubine, she has become the emperor's reliance, and it may be even more difficult to overthrow the royal power."

Qiu Yeli spoke in a low voice, but the man on the opposite side didn't seem surprised at all, "Well, the Li Dynasty is rich in products, and it is not comparable to a small country like Xianbei, but the pros and cons complement each other. With the help of Gu Jingcheng, he has to take risks at all times."

"You mean that Xianbei will go further and covet the Li Dynasty?" Qiu Yeli asked with a frown.

Gu Jingyao raised his eyebrows, "The Xianbei family is brave and good at fighting, but they are also greedy. Gu Jingcheng wants to get rid of me with the help of Xianbei, which is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."

"But." Qiu Yeli was still a little worried, she didn't know how Gu Jingyao was preparing.

Gu Jingyao knew what she was thinking, touched the top of her hair, and said fondly, "Don't worry, I'll go back to Qingping Village if it's a big deal!"

"What nonsense!" Qiu Yeli said angrily as he knocked off his hand.

The three-day period came in a flash, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons. The palace people felt that the last time they were so exciting was because Princess Luo almost became a noble concubine.

Princess Luoluo changed out of the Xianbei costume, and put on the imperial concubine's long robe to stay in the palace with a gloomy expression.

"Batu!" Luoluo shouted towards the outside.

After a while, a little maid came in, bowed her head and said, "Imperial Concubine."

Luoluo suddenly remembered that Batu had been sent out of the palace by the emperor, and now that her status was different, Batu naturally couldn't stay in the palace.

"Pour me a cup of tea." Luoluo said softly.

"Yes!"

As night fell, Jinbao and a group of eunuchs carried Princess Luoluo to the emperor's Qinzheng Hall to prepare for her bed.

Gu Jingcheng looked at the girl with a bright face in front of the bed and felt a little itchy. Luoluo watched the man take off his clothes numbly. This was the way she chose, and she could not regret it.

The red candle was extinguished, but there were panicked voices outside the door.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Jin Bao's voice trembled.

"Bastard!"

Gu Jingcheng cursed, put on a robe casually, and pushed open the door with a gloomy expression.

Jin Bao knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty forgive me!"

"You'd better have something urgent!" Gu Jingcheng gritted his teeth, his dissatisfied appearance made Jin Bao lower his head.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui has passed away."

"What?" Gu Jingcheng's eyes widened slightly, and before he had time to ask more questions, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he left in a hurry, and Jin Bao staggered behind him.

On the bed, Luoluo put on her clothes, and somehow called a little maid to answer.

"what happened?"

"Back to the empress, Concubine Liu Gui, she has killed herself." The little maid didn't dare to hide it, and said in a straightforward manner.

Princess Luoluo's eyes widened when she heard the words, a little unbelievable, she only knew that Gu Jingcheng's harem only had the queen and a noble concubine, unlike her father, who had three thousand beauties in the harem, because she didn't care, and she never knew about it.

After dismissing the maids, Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little weird that Concubine Liu Gui chose to kill herself tonight, which must have something to do with the emperor accepting her.

On the other side, Gu Jingcheng's brows twitched, and he walked towards Concubine Liu Guifei's palace in a nonchalant manner. Along the way, his mind recalled the details of the two of them together. He, he is all for Li Dynasty Sheji, why don't you listen to his explanation!live.

"I don't know if all the Xianbei countries are as shameless as the princesses. Could it be that there are no men in Xianbei, so why bother to let the princess of a country come to the neighboring country to snatch men in person? It's really ridiculous." Qiu Yeli said indifferently.

The onlookers who didn't know the truth spoke one after another after hearing the words.

"The concubine is right, what kind of Princess Xianbei dares to miss His Royal Highness Luo?"

"Yeah, stalking and fighting, it really is a wild place, and the style is disgusting!"

"Shut up, you guys!"

When Princess Luoluo heard the words, she cursed angrily, "Arrest those people!"

The guards behind Princess Luoluo were about to make a move, Gu Jingyao frowned and looked at the guards under him.

Seeing this, everyone became more courageous. Anyway, His Highness Luo Wang was protecting them, and what's more, they couldn't help but say, "Bah! Still want to arrest people? Open your eyes and see that this is Dali Dynasty, not that Wild land!"

"You guys! Brother Yao, do you really disregard the friendship of the day? Luoluo took the initiative to beg her father, Wang Jingjing, just to see you."

Princess Luoluo's eyes were red as she spoke, and she looked at Gu Jingyao pitifully, but he was incomprehensible, and said coldly, "Princess respects herself." "I'm worried about you, go back home first, and make your favorite candy Vinegar fish." Qiuye Li smiled, revealing two shallow pear dimples.

"Okay." Gu Jingyao protected her and got into the carriage.

——In Luo Wangfu

The two sisters Li Xiaozhu and Li Xiaoyue hadn't left school yet, so the mansion seemed quite quiet.

Qiu Yeli didn't like many people, so all the servants who served went out, leaving only her and Gu Jingyao.

"You handed over the military power?" Qiu Yeli opened her eyes slightly, looking at the man's calm face, she slightly raised her voice.

"Well, this fish is not bad." Gu Jingyao responded and praised it without hesitation.

Qiu Yeli curled her lips, "Of course, but I raised it in the pool myself." Then he thought of something, "Don't interrupt! Gu Jingcheng has always been afraid of your military power, which is why he didn't send it out. Didn't he hand it over so easily? No more worries?"

"Don't worry, it's just military power, it's not a big deal." Gu Jingyao seemed unaffected.

Seeing this, Qiu Yeli didn't say much anymore. She believed that Gu Jingyao was not a reckless person. Since he said so, he must have a plan in his mind.

"In the past few days, I will stay with you in the mansion." Gu Jingyao picked out the fish's spines attractively, put them into Qiu Yeli's plate, and said with a smile.

Qiu Yeli raised her eyebrows and said deliberately, "I'm very busy."

"What is the lady doing? She is with the lady for her husband." Seeing his rascal appearance, Qiu Yeli laughed, and there was a lot of laughter in the mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor's imperial decree had been issued, the crowd was in an uproar, and all forces were ready to move.

When Gu Jingyao was dismissed from the post of general, everyone knew that the emperor was making excuses. Although Batu's status was not low, he was still just a servant after all. What's more, he provoked Princess Luo first, and Luoyang's eagerness to protect his wife was understandable. .

But Gu Jingcheng said that he would give the old King Xianbei an explanation, severely punish him, and remove him from the post of prince, all secretly speculating on the holy will in his heart.

"From now on, the Ministry of War will be temporarily taken over by Li Yi, the commander of the Imperial Army." Gu Jingcheng said firmly, with a ruddy complexion and a high spirit.

"Your Majesty Li Yi took the decree, thank you for your grace!" Li Yi received the decree with both hands, lowered his head, his face could not conceal his joy.

He and Gu Jingyao were about the same age, his father was the founding general, but his father died in battle, and his family was poor. He was also a literary and military strategist, but Gu Jingyao was always suppressed by Gu Jingyao. His Royal Highness was brave and invincible on the battlefield, but no one paid attention to him.
