After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 33
Qi Jiuzhu interrupted him with a smile, "I understand fourth cousin's intentions, but Jiuzhu just treats cousin as an elder brother, and is not tempted by cousin. He promised Aunt Xue earlier, but he just thought that cousin is suitable. But in the current situation, between you and me, it is not even suitable, if we resist the order and implicate our parents, we will be forgiven for all crimes. Please forgive Jiuzhu for really not being able to accept my cousin's wishes."

She watched Gu Yan's face gradually turn pale, the light in his eyes dimmed a little bit, and his whole body seemed to suddenly lose energy, as if someone had gradually drained the enthusiasm in his heart.

She continued to comfort him with that gentle smile, "If my cousin becomes an official in the future, he will be able to assist the crown prince wholeheartedly and benefit the common people, and Jiuzhu will be proud of his cousin. There is something in Jiuzhu's heart that cannot be let go. I believe the same is true in my cousin's heart, Jiuzhu hopes that my cousin's decision can be worthy of conscience, and I won't regret my choice in the future."

"Nine beads..."

Qi Jiuzhu did not agree to leave with him, and the courage he had accumulated with great difficulty disappeared at this moment. He really made the decision on impulse.

His grandfather and mother's hopes for him, his teacher's earnest teachings to him, his ideals and revenge, and ten years of hard study in the cold window will not allow him to be a mediocre teacher for a lifetime in obscurity. Wasting away the day, wasting the life.

He raised his eyes to look at the girl's clear and bright eyes. She is so intelligent. From the very beginning, he saw that he was not as brave as he thought, and the courage at that moment was not enough to support him. She took her away. Stay with her for the rest of her life, and protect her for the rest of her life.

Finally, his heart no longer became heavy and oppressive, as if layers of burden had been lifted.

He couldn't wait for the answer he wanted, so he could finally give up.

There is still a trace of regret and reluctance in my heart.

But what really made him decide to give up was Qi Jiuzhu's words, "I'm not tempted by my cousin."

Gu Yan stood up, cupped his hands and bowed in salute: "Thank you cousin for giving me this opportunity."

He gave him a chance to reveal his heart, otherwise he would feel that he owed Qi Jiuzhu and would keep it in his heart, torturing him day and night.

"This is the embroidered handkerchief my cousin sent me that day, but now I don't deserve it anymore."

When she was determined to write down the letter of promise to marry Gu Yan, she gave the embroidered handkerchief to Gu Yan.

Now that the veil is back in her hands again, she and Gu Yan will have nothing to do with each other from now on.

She stood up and gave a blessing, "Jiuzhu congratulates the fourth cousin on his wedding."

Gu Yan bowed and bowed, he took a deep look at Qi Jiuzhu, and then reluctantly left. The prince decided to choose him as his staff. After he married the Qiongyu County Lord, he would leave Chang'an City and go to Yunnan to practice three years. Year.

"Cousin takes care." He secretly said in his heart.

Maybe goodbye is three years later.

Gu Yan was in a hurry when he left, as if he would regret it if he walked slowly.

After he left, Qi Jiuzhu finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell down on the nanmu chair.

Cui Jiu breathed a sigh of relief seeing Gu Yan leaving the mansion in a panic. Xie An received sixty boards. Although the crown prince was merciful and spared his life, he would have to lie on the bed for more than a month due to his condition. Today Mr. Gu Lang came to pester Mrs. Qi, while His Royal Highness was in the restaurant opposite, watching every move of the Qi family in person.

Cui Jiu was still uneasy, if Gu Yan refused to obey the order and refused to marry the county magistrate Qiongyu, or if he came up with some way to escape the marriage, Xie An's half life might not be saved.

He looked at Wei Xuan's face, and said cautiously: "Then Gu Langjun's face is not very good-looking, as if someone was chasing him when he left the house. I don't know what Madam Qi said to him?"

Wei Xuan pressed his finger on the white jade wrench, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, "He has no chance."

After Gu Yan got into the carriage, Wei Xuan straightened his clothes and got up, "It's time to collect the net tonight."

It's time for the princess of the Shen family to wake up from her dream.

He can finally relax and deal with the Shen family with all his strength.

Seeing that Wei Xuan was in a good mood today, Cui Jiu wanted to take the opportunity to intercede for Xie An. He thought that the reason why Xie An concealed the fact that the Gu family wanted to marry the Qi family was his idea, but unexpectedly, it was a disservice , causing Xie An to be severely beaten with [-] boards.

He never thought that Xie An would be severely punished and sent to guard the gate of the East Palace for touching the crown prince's back. He messed up the errand, but he didn't have a little credit. At least he heard about the plan of Mrs. Qi's stepmother, Mrs. Chen. I beg Your Highness to think that he still has this credit, and please give him another chance. Bar."

He was the first guard of the East Palace, and he was sent to guard the gate of the palace. It was really too miserable.

Wei Xuan held the white jade wine glass in his hand, drank the fine wine in one gulp, and secretly raised the corners of his lips, "This time, I will punish him with a small punishment. After he recovers from his injuries, he can return to Gu's side again, but if there is another Next time, I don't have to guard the palace gate, I just think it's a good position."

Cui Jiu looked in the direction of Wei Xuan's finger, which was the gate of Chang'an City.

He couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat for Xie An. If he was really sent to guard the city gate, he would probably be the first official in history to be demoted from the first guard of the Eastern Palace to guard the city gate.

It's too miserable!
"The subordinates have already learned that Chen Zhaodi has already started to act. She has sent many young and beautiful women to Prince Yu before, but all of those women have gone without returning, and most of them are missing. All crazy."

"It seems that the Jiedu Envoy Lord Xiao is very close to this lonely emperor uncle."

He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sky. The sky was still clear just now, but now it was covered with dark clouds and the wind was blowing wildly. Wei Xuan came out of the restaurant and told Cui Jiu: "The sky is about to change, go back to the palace."

He rode his horse and galloped back to the palace. As soon as he returned to the East Palace, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, strong winds, and a torrential downpour.

And on this thunderstorm night, Shen Shangshu hurried into the palace to see Empress Shen, regardless of the vermilion official robes that had been drenched by the rainstorm.

Every thunderstorm night, Empress Shen would have a headache and could not sleep all night. After hearing about Shen Shangshu's intentions, she felt a splitting headache, as if thousands of needles were piercing her head.

"What did you say, Ye'er accidentally killed someone!"

Shen Ye is the only son of Shen Shangshu. He is overly spoiled by Shen's mother on weekdays. He is an out-and-out dude in Chang'an City. That day when Shen's family held a flower feast, he went out and did not return. Originally, Shen Shangshu did not let go. In my heart, I thought that he was just hiding in a brothel to drink flowers and wine, and he would come back in a few days.

Unexpectedly, he disappeared for three or four days, and finally Shen Shangshu sent someone to find him in the Shen family's other courtyard.

Only then did Shen Shangshu learn that he was gambling in an underground gambling house, had a conflict with someone, and beat him to death by mistake.

Seeing that he had killed someone, Shen Ye jumped out of the window and fled in fright.
