Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 143

It turned out to be so.

It wasn't that he couldn't dodge the arrow, but he took the initiative to rush towards the arrow, because the opponent was too cunning and had already clearly calculated his mind.

The blood in Chu Yan's body froze at this moment. She thought of thousands of reasons. Maybe it was because he falsely shot an arrow to confuse the enemy. ...Maybe she just took everything for granted.

Ten years of getting along came to mind, Chu Yan smiled palely, yes, how could she not have thought of this?He is Gu Qi, the proud and arrogant prince in the past, who was cold outside and hot inside, even though it took a long time to grow into the emperor who can be alone today, he is still the old Gu Qi after all, with a changed status and a changed mind. But what remains unchanged is the stubborn arrogance in his bones.

How could he just watch Xiao Che die in front of him?
Days of torrential rain passed, and finally there was a sunny day outside the window. Chu Yan sat on the chair by the window, and the bright sunlight shone on her pale and frail face, which was bloodless but radiant.

It's ridiculous, before she knew the truth, she could still pretend to be nonchalant and eat and drink well, but now that Qin Yuanshan told her the truth, she couldn't keep calm anymore.

It seemed that an outsider broke into the script that had already been written, so everything was messed up, and there was no way to proceed according to the previous routine.

When did that 13-year-old boy who once looked at her coldly come into her life?

Maybe it started when she blocked Qingyang County Master's miss-pointed writing brush for him, maybe it started when he deflected the guard's fatal blow for her after An Liangyuan's adulterous affair was smashed, maybe it was because she Time and time again, I saw him lose power and struggle in the treacherous and undercurrents with the courtiers, maybe it started when he matured and became stronger step by step to the point where she couldn't see it through.

In two previous lives, she lived for more than 40 years, but she kept stopping here, and finally the 13-year-old boy caught up with her.

Qin Yuanshan looked at the silent queen, the sun shone on her side face, and even the most delicate and soft down on her cheeks could be clearly seen.She just lowered her eyes in a daze like this, until the man who was also silent walked up to her at some point, and stretched out his hand with difficulty to wipe away a drop of crystal clear beads on her eyelashes.

He said, "Don't cry." His voice was low and soft, like a gentle breeze in spring, intoxicating even the most timid oriole on the branches.

Chu Yan raised her head as if she had been electrocuted, and was shocked by his words.

what did he say?
don't cry?

when did she cry?
As if she couldn't believe it, she stretched out her hand to cover her cheek, and finally felt fine tears dripping from between her fingers, like the spring rain in March, like the light frost at night.

Until this moment, she finally could no longer deny that that person really touched her heart.

She is sad.

This year's winter is extremely cold, the climate is extremely cold, and the first snow in Beijing comes very early.

Xiayuan Festival, Winter Solstice, Laba... one festival after another is coming one after another, but it is a pity that this battle has been fought for more than half a year, and the emperor was injured a month ago, and the whole palace is not in the mood to celebrate .

Battle reports from the front kept coming, and the emperor's injuries also came one after another when everyone was frightened.

On the first day, the crossbow penetrated too deeply into the body, and the imperial physician did not dare to pull out the arrow. He heard that the body of the crossbow made of fine iron was as thick as a child's wrist. He was afraid that once pulled out, the emperor would immediately lose too much blood. died.

On the third day, the imperial physicians accompanying the army knelt down on the ground, but no one dared to pull out the arrows, but applying medicine without pulling out the arrows was useless, and the wound would continue to deteriorate.In a fit of anger, Xiao Che pulled out the arrow himself. He gritted his teeth so hard that two blood holes were left on his lips.

His life was bought by the emperor with the price of the arrow, so if he failed to pull out the arrow and the emperor was so tired that he would die, he would go with him and give his life back.

On the seventh day, the emperor did not wake up.

On the eighth day, the ninth day...No.15, the emperor never opened his eyes.

Chu Yan dismissed all the concubines, saying that she had a big belly and was about to give birth, so it was inconvenient to see guests, so she just sat lazily by the window basking in the sun every day.

She was afraid of the cold, so Hanzhi and Dongyi put a lot of charcoal basins in the hall, Nuan Pozi also changed one for her every half an hour, but she started to have nosebleeds, the imperial doctor said it was because she was on fire, so it is not appropriate to do this every day Day toast.

There were fewer charcoal basins, and the hall was much colder, but she didn't want to move, and often sat down all day with cold hands and feet.

Dongyi and Hanzhi were worried to death, but fortunately, the master just didn't like to move, so he still ate the same amount, so the child wouldn't be hungry, which was a little relieved.

The atmosphere in the palace became more and more silent, the concubines did not move, Qin Yuanshan and Gu Mingan handled government affairs in silence, and the courtiers in the capital did not walk around with each other anymore, just listening to the new news from the frontier every day.

Qin Yuanshan has been to Yong'an Palace a few times, and each time he stayed for a long time, in order to avoid suspicion, a group of palace people guarded the door, but he didn't know what it meant for these two people in the room to sit and not speak.

Chu Yan didn't lose weight, but Qin Yuanshan did. His eyes slowly fell on her terrifyingly big belly, unsteady, and finally he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Chu Yan also didn't know what he was thinking, maybe it wasn't because he couldn't guess, but because he didn't have the energy to guess.

I heard that Zhuo Ding'an was in charge of the overall situation on the front line alone, and he was very busy. Prince Gong took the initiative to take on the burden of going to meet the enemy as a lieutenant general, and won several moderate victories one after another. The only slightly uplifting news these days.

When the camp was stationed outside a small town on the border, Gu Chushi went to the town instead of rushing back to the camp when he got off the battlefield.

He got off his horse, walked into the tavern by the side of the road, opened the curtain and walked all the way into the stove behind.The old man who was washing vegetables saw him, dried his hands and stood up, walked slowly to the stove, took out a brick from the old wall, and then took out a letter and handed it to him.

When Gu Chushi took it over, he was relieved, because he hadn't received any news about Nan'er for nearly a month, and before he left, he clearly told the person in charge of guarding the other courtyard to send a letter every ten days , Now there is no news for a whole month, and his heart is hanging in his throat.

Fortunately, his confidant has been reassuring him, saying that there has been a lot of wind and snow on the border these days, and the sender must have blocked the trip because of this, so he was late.

Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to be here.

He opened the letter almost with a smile on his lips, but upon seeing it, the man froze in place instantly.

The exquisite paper is not the same as before, and the handwriting on the letter has also changed, into a typeface with strong strokes that penetrates the back of the paper.

There are a few simple words written in that font: Nan'er is dead, and her body was exposed in the wilderness. If you want to collect her body for her, please return quickly.

The smile on the corners of his lips froze in an instant, and his hot heart seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water, freezing to the bone with icy scum.

There was no signature on the letter, but Gu Chushi immediately guessed who the owner of the handwriting was. His heart was pounding violently, and his whole body was so tense that he almost gritted his teeth.

He rushed out of the door quickly, regardless of the wind and snow outside, and rode his horse towards the direction of returning to Beijing.

The confidant chased after him and shouted anxiously: "My lord, where are you going? If you don't return to the camp, the general should be suspicious!"

Gu Chushi didn't seem to hear it, he just rode his horse and galloped, his heart stopped beating.

At the beginning, he just wanted to pick her up, train her into a chess piece, and then put her in the palace, borrowing the royal family's apology for General Zhennan to make her become his capable general smoothly, and implement his final plan.

It's a pity that the ten-year-old girl had a high fever on the way back to Beijing. She threw herself into his arms, crying and laughing, calling for her father, but mistook him for her deceased father. .Gu Chushi didn't push her away, because he was a little at a loss when facing such a little girl, but who knew that from now on, like fate, he would never be able to push her away again.

He tried his best to train her for five years, but he was unwilling to send her to the palace, so he secretly gave her identity to another chess piece, and forced that girl to enter the palace under the name of Chongzheng. He thought he would never be separated from her again.

His Nan'er, he has been locked in a golden cage for fear that she would fly away, fear that she would be hurt, and fear that she would suffer. Nan'er, he once broke her wings with his own hands, just to lock her firmly by his side, even Scolding him for hating him and resenting him, wishing to kill him, he also locked her in that deep courtyard without mercy.

He told her repeatedly: "I saved your life, and I didn't push you into the deep palace. If you leave me, you will have nothing and nowhere to go. You have to remember this."

But deep down in his heart, he just didn't want to admit that, in fact, he couldn't do without her all this time.
now……

Now, the sharp sword he personally made to deal with Gu Qi was pointed at him in turn, and killed his most beloved person the first time it was unsheathed.

Nan'er, Nan'er...His heart was bleeding all the time, and the words Mo Nineteen came to his heart, and he hated him so much that he wanted to smash it into pieces and smash his bones into ashes.

In the study of Prince Gong's mansion, Mo Jiujiu waited quietly for something. He even went into the secret room to meet Yin Shao again, and smiled quietly and beautifully at the pale and haggard woman.

He said: "When Gu Chushi saw that the double he had cultivated with all his heart finally turned defeat into victory, and even took away everything he carefully arranged, would he think that this double was just a lifeless puppet working for him?"

Mo Shijiu seldom smiled, but this time, he smiled brightly. The face that was exactly the same as Gu Chushi actually showed a different kind of splendor from Gu Chushi. Colorful and highly poisonous flowers, with incomparable beauty, and cold and alienated cruelty.

Yin Shao trembled all over: "You... what are you going to do?"

Mo Nineteen did not answer her this time, but slowly stretched out his hand to caress her face: "The lives of ordinary people are as insignificant as ants in the eyes of you high-ranking people, Yin Shao, I want you to see with your own eyes how to be an ant." When one day overthrows the great cause you have worked so hard to plan for many years and takes your place, what kind of expression will your brother who has worked so hard to play with people's lives above the applause look like?"

What is he doing?
Gu Chushi painstakingly created these two identical faces, isn't it just to use him to die for him at a critical moment?But he didn't like it, since he had the exact same face, why couldn't he just replace Tao and ascend to the throne?
