Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 390
"Father, father!"

The emperor was immersed in his own thoughts until the prince called him several times before he came back to his senses and coughed to cover up the embarrassment of his distraction just now: "What did the prince say just now?"

Gu Zixing cupped her fists with both hands: "Father, now that Gu Lingqing is leading troops outside to attack Wangcheng, he holds a lot of power in his hands, if he cooperates with Xiao Yanfeng inside and outside."

Gu Zixing's eyes widened, she bowed her hands deeply, and bowed deeply to the emperor: "Father, you must guard against it."

"The prince is worrying too much. I believe in General Xiao's loyalty."

Even though the emperor said so, he also had such thoughts in his mind, and now he heard the prince's old story again, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

The prince didn't show any frustration because of the emperor's veto,

This royal father, he knows best, so he won't tell others the true thoughts in his heart.

"Father, my son also knows that General Xiao's behavior can be trusted, but Gu Lingqing's behavior can't be doubted. Besides, when he was leaving, he had promised his father that he would take the seventh brother with him completely. When he comes back, if he has a different heart halfway and shoots the seventh brother directly on the battlefield, what will happen then!"

Gu Zixing's words were fierce, with a worried tone, like a good brother who was worried about his younger brother.

What Gu Zixing said can be said to have completely grasped the weakness of the emperor.

The emperor loved Gu Qi very much since he was a child, and he loved his father, the seventh prince, very much. He also lowered his principles and bottom line many times because of Gu Qi.

In fact, in the final analysis, the emperor was angry at the time, not because Gu Qi took Gu Lingqing's princess away, and he built an army behind his back.

But now the emperor also thinks about it. Whenever he sleeps, he will occasionally dream of Gu Qi being with him, a fatherly and loving son, and he also feels that the army Gu Qi cultivated was not used to attack himself and rebel. I also slowly forgave him in my heart.

I just hope that Gu Lingqing can bring Gu Qi back to the imperial city intact, and slowly restore the relationship between father and son in the future.

Hearing what Gu Zixing said at this moment, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little more worried.

That's right, the prince's words are very reasonable, if Gu Lingqing really has murderous intentions, he can't help here at all.

What's more, when he came back, he said that the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and it was a manslaughter. If he had the support of the court ministers at that time, he would really have nothing to do with him.

"Father."

The prince looked at the emperor with a serious expression, and when there was a flash of sternness in his eyes, he knew that what he said just now had worked.

I saw Gu Zixing kneeling directly on the ground, and made a big salute: "I beg my father to let my seventh brother live."

In the past, Gu Zixing and Gu Qi had always been rivals, not only outside the court, but also in the court, sometimes because of their different opinions, they would fight with each other in the court.

All these emperors saw it, and seeing Gu Zixing pleading for Gu Qi, he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, what is his purpose?
Gu Zixing also took this into consideration. When he hadn't heard the emperor speak for a long time, he still maintained the posture of saluting, without raising his head, but the voice slowly came out from under him.

"Father, please give the seventh brother a way out. Although I had many conflicts with him before, he is my younger brother after all."

"Then Gu Lingqing is that man's son, don't you have any worries in your father's heart?"

After saying these words, Gu Zixing straightened her back and stared straight at the emperor.

Although the prince's eyes were somewhat offensive, the emperor did not blame him, but lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"Prince, if you have anything to say, just say it." After a long time, the emperor raised his head, as if he had an answer in his heart, and stared straight at the prince.

"Father." The prince suppressed his inner joy: "I hope that the seventh brother can come back safely by himself."

The emperor just looked at the prince, and the prince also looked at the emperor. The two father and son looked at each other directly, and neither spoke.

The pupils of the emperor opened slightly, thinking about what the prince said in his heart, and the prince was also quietly waiting for the answer from the emperor, he believed that it would be a satisfactory answer.

The two stalemate for a while, the emperor waved his hand to the prince: "Okay, I'm really tired today, you go down first."

A flash of surprise flashed in the prince's heart, he didn't expect that his father didn't agree to him, he stood up immediately, scrambled with his hands, and backed away.

When he reached the door, when the prince turned around and was about to leave, he heard the emperor's voice faintly: "The prince has always had an idea, let's do it."

The smile that the prince had been suppressing all this time finally showed on his face, he turned around, bowed his hands together, and bowed to the emperor: "I will live up to my father's entrustment." Then he left the palace conveniently,
The emperor stared at the direction where the prince was leaving for a long time, then lowered his head, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Boss, you must not blame my younger brother when you are underground. Your son is so outstanding now, I naturally cannot tolerate him.

"Mo'er."

In the past few days, Xiao Mo ran to Jiang Yanran's side very diligently. At the moment, the two are enjoying the lotus flowers and eating snacks in the pavilion in the lake of the General's Mansion.

In fact, after lunch at noon today, Xiao Mo was extremely unwilling when she heard Jiang Yanran's proposal to come to this place, but she said so, how could Xiao Mo refuse?
When even came here with Jiang Yanran,

Looking at this place that disgusted me so much, the scene of that day kept playing in Xiao Mo's mind,

Xiao Mo was immersed in her thoughts all the time, so she didn't hear Jiang Yanran calling her.

Seeing that Xiao Mo didn't know what she was thinking, Jiang Yanran called out a few more times, but she still didn't hear her.

Aunt Chen next to her quickly pushed Xiao Mo's arm, and reminded her: "Miss, Madam is calling you!"

Only then did Xiao Mo recover from her absence, and glanced at Jiang Yanran: "I'm sorry, mother, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't hear what you said."

Jiang Yanran didn't say anything. Looking at the blue color in Xiao Mo's eyes, there was a bit of distress in her eyes: "What is Mo'er up to lately? Seeing that your face is so bad, is it because you can't sleep well?"

"No, mother thinks too much, I slept well, maybe it's because of the recent change of seasons that caused my skin to be a little bad."

Xiao Mo smiled at Jiang Yanran to conceal the strangeness in her heart.
