Chapter 215 The Atmosphere of Stalemate

But it is this pious person who is so conscious of acting as a kind father in front of the officials and the empress to target him, hehehe, it's really funny, if he really thought about Gu Baozhu's future, he would really do that If it is serious, you will be insulted by the extermination of the family?

The stalemate between the two caused the courtiers in the palace to look at each other.

Such a confrontation is a good show, as the party involved, the sarcasm on the corner of Gu Baozhu's lips deepens.

Princess Nanping's filial piety is well known to all the world. For the same reason, Prince Gong is a good father and is known by the courtiers. Even if the "good father" in front of him doesn't care about himself in his heart, he can't be himself under the watchful eyes of everyone. Good father Is it the duty of the "king", otherwise, if this layer of true and false appearance is suspected by everyone, it will be a complete crisis.

Similarly, although Huyan Wuwei has cooperated with Prince Gong in the firecracker business, it ultimately represents the interests of both parties. However, when their respective fundamental interests are involved, no one can compromise in front of the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom. There is a dog-eat-dog situation like this.

On the stage, Gu Jun's gaze was gloomy, and his eyes were shuttling between Prince Gong and Huyan Wuwei. Knowing the embarrassment of the dead silence in the hall, he casually arranged the dragon robe on his body, and then looked at Prince Gong in a reproachful manner.

"Brother Ye, you have been seriously ill for many years, are you a little confused?"

Gu Jun's words were a bit confusing, but her tone was still faint, her right hand was raised slightly, her eyes fell on the golden armor of her fingers, and she said unhurriedly.

"When Baozhu was born, I went to Prince Gong's mansion. Back then when I mentioned the marriage of Princess Nanping, you said at that time that this sugarcane is not as sweet as two ends, and Baozhu is worthy of the best man in the world. Good character and ability, even if you, the father, bear the pain of caring, you have to let Baozhu find a good marriage."

The empress seemed to be joking and had a slightly strange tone, which made the atmosphere in the palace slightly relaxed, and Prince Gong was also ready to follow the trend and smile.

"Brother Ye, you have been sick for many years, you have changed—"

Youyou's tone, as the wind of his words changed, seemed to instantly transform into a sharp knife hanging above his head, carrying a chilling power. Whenever he said a wrong word or a half sentence, the sharp knife would face he falls.

The other courtiers didn't notice it, and Gu Jun, who was still the empress, really sighed. After all, she had been bedridden for many years and didn't have many opportunities to get along with the outside world. Even if her behavior and temperament changed drastically, it was actually not a rare thing.

But with this attitude, Jiang Jin and Lu Jiuxi at the banquet looked at each other tacitly, with surprise in their expressions.

Before Gu Jun registered, she loved Gu Ye very much, but later, due to physical discomfort, Gu Ye could not enter the palace all year round. Just now, to Gu Ye, the younger brother whom the empress took care of on weekdays, she actually said the four words of lingering sick bed that poked people's heart, and stepped on his painful feet.

As the empress of the Yan Kingdom, Gu Jun has always been dignified enough, but when facing the old officials of the founding of the country, she always hesitated a little bit about the way of a monarch and his ministers. If she can do things to leave the officials decent, she is just like the talented Lu Jiuxi.

He could do this to his courtiers, but he suddenly stepped on his brother's painful feet. This strange behavior may have some deep meaning.

Lu Jiuxi and Jiang Jin were not the only ones who were sensitive to Gu Jun's emotions. Jiang Chao, Minister of the Ministry of War, was sitting at the banquet, and his buttocks in the seat were a little unsteady at the moment.

The bright moonlight accompanied by the light of the lamp seemed to dim for an instant.

Prince Gong's face seemed to be shrouded in the dim moonlight again. The darkness cast a shadow over his thin face, and everyone looked at him a little awkwardly. It wasn't until the weak cough sounded in their ears again that Gu Baozhu saw Gong Gong clearly again under the lamp. Prince's look.

However, before the shameful tone started, there was another muffled coughing sound.The surrounding attendants hurried over to serve with lamps. The lamps placed on the ground were dazzling, illuminating Prince Gong's morbid face a little distorted, only those dark eye sockets still maintained a bit of calmness that was out of habit.

"Ahem, it's my younger brother's fault. I've been struggling all these years, and my elder sister has been worrying—"

Prince Gong said, remembering the white handkerchief handed over by the maid, he clenched his hands tightly and rubbed the corners of his mouth fiercely, with a hint of hatred for this body, the white handkerchief was glaring with a fishy smell of blood.

Although this look of dislike, but a deep sense of powerlessness from the bottom of my heart, the courtiers who saw it were a little worried and turned their eyes away.

The breathless voice sounded again, with a bit more warmth in the tone.

"Your Majesty said that the younger brother has changed, maybe—"

Prince Gong looked at the blood stains on the white handkerchief, his miserable and pale face showed a little calmness.

In the past, we thought that the best person for our orbs must be the best person to marry, but after the princess left, every time I think about it, I feel that the relationship between my brother and the princess is very good, but as a husband and wife, there are always bumps. , the more I thought about it on the sickbed, now I feel—"

Prince Gong held his lips, and he glanced at Gu Baozhu beside him, his tone was still weak, but his eyes glowed with love.

"Now I feel that there are many good people in the world who can always be at the knees of their parents. If they encounter grievances when they get married in the future, with the support of my aunt who loves her and my father, who is not in good health, life will be smoother."

After talking a lot in a row, Prince Gong couldn't hold it any longer, the hand supporting the edge of the table trembled, his voice was vain and helpless.

"My younger brother's thoughts made the eldest sister worry, and made all the adults laugh—"

The silver wine cup was rolling over at the fingertips, Gu Jun's gaze was always on Prince Gong, she concealed her sternness, and heard the courtier's words of reassurance and reassurance, she just raised her lips noncommittally.

The breeze carelessly brushed the candlelight inside the lamp, and the lamp popped and danced, but the wind was still gentle, and there were still no waves.

"Brother Ye, you don't need to blame yourself, but I'm a little demon-"

"It's been two years since I sent the imperial physician to the palace, but Brother Ye's health still hasn't improved. I don't know whose fault it is. Brother Ye doesn't need to work hard. There are many capable people in the imperial hospital over the years. I will send two more imperial physicians to live in the palace in two days."

After the words fell, Gu Jun's mood seemed to have dropped by three points, and his eyes turned slightly to Huyan Uwei who was still standing in the center of the hall, with a soothing tone.

"Prince Huyan has a heart. The relationship between the two clans is very important. I still need to think about it with all the adults..."

When Huyan Uwei heard the words, his cheeks puffed up instantly, and there was a bit of disappointment in his eagle eyes.

It is considered, but it is just the words of the superiors. He has not been unable to see through these days when he entered the Yan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Uwe wants to..."

"Eh--"

Gu Jun raised her hand, the tiredness in her eyes quickly blocked Huyan Uwei's words thoroughly.

As the empress of the Yan Kingdom, marriage is not a taboo. If Turkic proposed such a condition in the past, Gu Jun would not guarantee that he would seriously consider it, but... the blame is that the person he chose was Gu Baozhu!

The empress has no heirs, Gu Jun is busy with government affairs, and has no idea of ​​having children. After a hundred years, the throne of the Yan Kingdom will inevitably be replaced by a junior from the clan, and Gu Baozhu is now the candidate for subconscious training in Gu Jun's mind. If she is really married to the Turks, Is it possible that in the future, the century-old foundation of the Yan Kingdom will have to be handed over to the frontier Turks, to the braided kid in front of him?
