beauty heart thorn

Chapter 43
These words came out of his mouth, inexplicably containing a bit of flirting.

Gu Mingzhu said: "How is Uncle Xu?"

Xu Jue secretly returned to Kyushu under the pretext of recovering from his injuries. No one else knew about this except the Gu family.

A few days ago, Kyushu sent a letter from home, telling Xu Jue to go back no matter what.

Xu Jue came to Beijing by order, and he could not leave Jiangling without the emperor's order.

It is impossible for Xu Jue to ask for an order to leave Beijing, because the news of Xu Wei's serious illness cannot be known to others. If it is leaked, the Xu family must be cut off from power.

Xu Jue sat down beside her and said, "The doctor said that we can only keep it."

He probably also knew about his father's body. He had been stationed for many years and suffered from illnesses all over his body. Now that he has relapsed in his later years, he is afraid... maybe he won't last long.

Gu Mingzhu asked: "What about your injury? How can you heal after traveling day and night?"

Xu Jue said: "I'm fine, even though I'm on the way, I still take my medicine on time."

Xu Jue took out a palm-sized wooden box from his bosom, handed it to Gu Mingzhu, and said, "The little things I brought from home should complement you."

Gu Mingzhu took the box and asked, "Why did you come to the Wu Family today?"

Xu Jue said: "I heard that Xiu Rong brought you here, so I came here."

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help coughing lightly, and said, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xu Jue stared at her and said, "Is there something to do? I came here just to see you."

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help coughing heavily, she didn't know what to say for a moment, her ears felt hot, she said bravely: "You..."

Xu Jue smiled, and looked at her differently, saying, "Gu Mingzhu, I don't believe you can't see..."

"Senior!" Jiuyue came anxiously from the corridor, interrupting his words.

Gu Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiuyue came to him and said, "My son, the emperor is coming."

Both of them stood up, Xu Jue said, "Is the emperor here?"

"It's in court right now."

When the two returned to the banquet, the people sitting high had been replaced by the empress and empress.

The emperor left the court, and the empress Ning Yuyan.

The elder brother knelt in the court.

The emperor smiled: "How?"

Gu Mingzhu's eyes fell on the people in the court, not knowing what happened.

Gu Xiurong lowered his hands and said respectfully: "Master, thank you Lord for your kindness."

Wu Jingyan was the first to laugh and said: "Vice General Gu is so lucky, the daughter of the Yue family is a well-known beauty in the capital."

Gu Mingzhu's expression changed, and she looked in the direction of Yue's family.

Yue Hanzhang maintained a decent smile.

"Congratulations to Vice General Gu on his marriage."

"Congratulations..."

An endless stream of voices came into his ears, making Gu Mingzhu's heart sink.

Marriage?

how come?
The elder brother and Yue Jingshu were bestowed a marriage, obviously five years later, when the elder brother had been promoted to the commander of the Yulin Army, all the major families in the capital wanted to marry each other, and finally the elder brother chose the Yue family.

It can also be said that the emperor chose the Yue family for his elder brother.

At that time, Yun Zhao's identity was well known to everyone, and it only needed a suitable time for Li Dynasty to regard Yun Zhao as the royal family. Yun Zhao and the Gu family were related by marriage, and Gu Xiurong was the commander of the Habayashi Army, in charge of all the forbidden troops in the capital. In the event of an accident, all checkpoints inside and outside the palace can be immediately controlled.

At that time, the emperor was completely disappointed with Li Xu, who was so easy-going, and the fifth prince was only 11 years old. At such a chaotic moment, Yun Zhao, who was both civil and military, intelligent and decisive, appeared, and he was still his own son. stand up.

He secretly arranged for Yun Zhao and tied the Yue family and the Gu family together.

Although the Yue family doesn't need to compare with other aristocratic families now, Yue Hanzhang was born as a general, resourceful and resourceful, and he is rarely a person in the court who can compete with Xu Jue.

If the Xu family wants to rebel in the future, there is still Yue Hanzhang who can fight against it.

Li Chao has considered this place for Yun Zhao, so one can imagine how much he likes this son.

The emperor sitting on the seat was obviously very happy too, pondered for a moment and said: "It's just...the status of a lieutenant general is somewhat low."

"In this way, go up one liter, give the name of general, and be the third rank."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

The Habayashi Army has one commander, who is at the second rank; one general, who is at the second rank;

History, ahead of time!

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were dark.

She faintly felt something was wrong.

In the previous life, my elder brother married Yue's family because she was Yun Zhao's wife. Now she has nothing to do with Yun Zhao, so why is there such a marriage?
Did she only change her own life?Will the fate of others still repeat itself for various reasons?
So, the Gu family will still die?Brother will die in battle?Will Xu Jue still be pierced by thousands of arrows?

In the moonlight, the girl's jaw tensed, and her fingers curled up slightly.

Gu Mingzhu inevitably thought about the current situation.

She spent seven months wantonly amassing money, planting people in the court, building the Red Leaf Building, and provoking a fight between the two kings, with only one purpose, to send Yun Zhao to Li Chao, and then destroy his hope with her own hands.

It's too cheap to kill him!
But, definitely not now!
Yun Zhao was not yet full-fledged, and appeared rashly. He was no match for Prince Rui and Prince De. Their families were deeply rooted and each had their own cronies...

"I heard that you have a younger sister?" the emperor asked.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the court had different hearts.

Gu Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and she became vaguely uneasy.

Gu Xiurong said: "Yes, call Mingzhu."

"Where are people?"

Gu Mingzhu curled up and knelt beside Gu Xiurong: "Little girl Gu Mingzhu, see the emperor and empress."

"You are Gu Mingzhu? Well... you are really beautiful, no wonder Yun Zhao is so reluctant to let go."

Gu Xiurong and Gu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat.

"Yun Zhao."

The person next to him stood up lightly: "The minister is here."

Gu Xiurong's face became ugly, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Ning Yuyan shook his head lightly at him.

The big picture is set.

"I will give you grace today."

Yun Zhao was about to kowtow to thank him, when suddenly Xu Jue came up to the left and said, "Your Majesty, Master Yun is indeed young and promising, but today is the banquet of the Marquis of Jing'an, and it is already a bit ostentatious to give a marriage to Master Gu, and it would be a bit ostentatious to show any more grace." It's overpowering."

The emperor said kindly: "The Gu family has double happiness, why not?"

"Double happiness? The emperor means that this kindness has something to do with the Gu family?" Xu Jue smiled, with an air of arrogance. It's about his sister."

"I want to give her a marriage, why not?"

"The emperor is the son of heaven, and the emperor promises everything, but the emperor cannot give her a marriage today."

Li Chao narrowed his eyes slightly: "I would like to hear why?"

Xu Jue glanced around: "There are a lot of girls from aristocratic families, anyone can point them out to Yun Zhao, except Gu Mingzhu."

His eyes fell on the person who had been kneeling all the time, and he said: "Because she just took my jade pendant, the sapphire Sinan Pei, which was passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and my mother handed it to me again, asking me to give it to Zhong. sweet girl."

Thinking of the wooden box just now, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but pursed her lips slightly.

Xu Jue's sudden words caught everyone by surprise.

Someone couldn't help asking: "What Xu Shizi means, I heard correctly, you like the lieutenant general's sister?"

Xu Jue looked at the man, smiled and said, "Yes."

He turned to look at the emperor whose smile had faded, and said: "Since she accepts my family's jade pendant, she can't marry others, otherwise, she will be a wicked person who plays with my feelings."
