First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 775 The Domineering Aunt (1st update)

Gu Jiao first went to Xiao Heng's place to see Xiao Qingkong. The two little cubs played all night and were already tired and fell asleep.

Because the monarch had a headache and rested in the wing of Qilin Palace, the little princess did not return to the palace. The two little cubs fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Gu Jiao leaned over and touched Xiao Jingkong's forehead, then touched the little princess's, and said softly: "Thank you, Xiaoxue."

If the little princess hadn't accidentally brought the monarch in advance and bought Gu Changqing half an hour of rescue time, by the time they finished fighting the prince, Gu Changqing would have been a cold corpse.

 Although Gu Changqing was not out of danger yet, at least she was given a chance to be rescued.

Of course, the little princess couldn't hear what the teacher was saying. She slept soundly, opening and closing her mouth and snoring happily.

 Gu Jiao returned to her room, fetched water from the ear room, washed her hair and bathed, and changed into dry clothes.

As soon as I fastened my belt, there was a knock on the door.

"it's me."

  Xiao Heng said.

Gu Jiao walked over and opened the door for him.

She had just taken a shower and was wearing loose pajamas. It was late at night, and her black hair was wrapped casually on her head with a cloth. A strand of black hair slipped out and hung down on the left side of her cheek.

The black hair is like ink, and the water droplets on the ends of the hair seem to fall but not fall.

Her skin is crystal clear and delicate, and the red birthmark on her cheek is as bright as a peach or plum.

  Xiao Heng really just came to see her, but the impact of this scene on him was too great.

His breath caught, and his throat slipped.

 Gu Jiao lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She was well-dressed and not exposed.

Xiao Heng cleared his throat, forced himself to calm down, and passed the bowl of hot **** soup in front of her to cover up his gaffe: "The **** soup was just cooked in the kitchen. You just got caught in the rain, drink some." , so as not to catch the cold."

“Oh.” Gu Jiao reached out to take the **** soup.

"I'll come." Xiao Heng said, then paused, "Is it convenient to come in?"

“Convenient.” Gu Jiao stepped aside and raised her hand to signal him to come in.

 Xiao Heng entered the house with **** soup.

 Gu Jiao had just taken a bath in the ear room, and there was a hint of cold scent of soap locust flowers and her charming girlish body fragrance in the air.

  Xiao Heng spent a lot of effort not to let himself get distracted.

Gu Jiao opened the window. The rain had stopped now, and the smell of moist soil and grass came from the yard, which was refreshing.

 “Drink the **** soup.” Xiao Heng said.

"Okay." Gu Jiao came over, sat down on the stool, picked up the bowl and drank the brown sugar **** soup in a slurp, "Did you put sugar in it?"

"You're not—" Xiao Heng's eyes swept over her flat belly and he said calmly, "Well, I let it go a little."

Gu Jiao’s little life is coming soon, but she doesn’t even remember it.

Gu Jiao said oh.

Yes, I remembered it again.

Xiao Heng moved a stool and sat down in front of her: "How is your injury?"

Gu Jiao stretched out her hand: "It's already fine."

Her injuries healed very quickly. The scabs on her palms where the reins had bruised her flesh and blood have fallen off, and she almost felt nothing during the operation.

 “Your legs.” Xiao Heng said again.

During the day, my legs are so weak that I have to sit in a wheelchair.

 Although a person can unleash unlimited potential at a critical moment, he or she will still feel doubly overdrawn and exhausted later on.

 Gu Jiao looked at her legs that suddenly became unruly and frowned: "It's better if you don't tell me, but it's a little bit better if you tell me."

Xiao Heng didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh.

He bent down, put Gu Jiao's leg on his own, and gently kneaded her with gentle force with his slender jade-like fingers.

His rubbing was so comfortable that Gu Jiao couldn't help but squint her eyes in enjoyment, like a kitten that wanted to yawn after being petted.

Xiao Heng looked at her and smiled. He thought of something and stopped talking.

Gu Jiao noticed his expression and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Xiao Heng thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed... I have some doubts."

Gu Jiao said: "About the operating room?"

Xiao Heng said: "That's right."

 Gu Jiao could almost guess that what she showed today was beyond the understanding of this time and space. It was a miracle that they didn't ask questions on the spot. Gu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask questions after entering the secret room for the second time.

He is more powerful and has been holding it in until now.

 “What do you think?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Heng thought of the words he heard in the corridor when Gu Chengfeng asked her if she was a god, and said, "I almost thought you were a fairy in the sky, using the magic of the Nine Palaces in the Sky."

Gu Jiao smiled: "That's actually not magic, it's science."

Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment and looked at her in confusion: "Science?"

Gu Jiao considered her words and said: "The universe has multiple dimensions, and each dimension has its own space. Maybe there is a car speeding past in front of us, but because of the different spatial dimensions, we can't see each other."

 Xiao Heng seemed to understand but not quite.

But after all, he read an entire book of the Yan Kingdom and accepted a lot of knowledge in the field of mathematics that did not belong to this time and space. Compared with Gu Chengfeng, who was completely unable to digest such information, his acceptance level was much higher.

 “Can you tell me something?” He was eager to learn.

Gu Jiao said: "Of course, I can think about it, where is the best place to tell you."

The difference between them is not the identity of two time and space, but the philosophical and scientific worldview from childhood to adulthood. Gu Jiao decided to start with the Big Bang, the origin of the universe.

 She tried her best to omit those professional words and described a unique cosmic feast to him in the simple tone of telling a story to a baby.

Even so, there are still many things that Xiao Heng cannot understand immediately, and he secretly keeps them in his heart.

He is not the kind of person who would deny its existence without seeing it. Compared with the eight-part essay in the imperial examination, what Gu Jiao said aroused his strong interest.

“There are also people who don’t agree with the big bang theory.” Gu Jiao said.

 “What do you think?” Xiao Heng asked.

 “It doesn’t matter what you do, I’m not interested anyway.” Gu Jiao said.

  Xiao Heng: “…”

 You can remember so much even if you are not interested. If you were interested, wouldn’t it be a disaster?

Gu Jiao looked at him as he was deep in thought and said, "I'll stop talking to you today and let you digest it. I'll continue talking to you another day."

 “Yeah.” Xiao Heng nodded.

Gu Jiao said: "It's time for me to go see Gu Changqing. Ah, by the way, there's something I haven't quite understood yet."

Xiao Heng asked: "What's the matter?"

Gu Jiao paused and said: "Gu Changqing said, the prince...no, he is not the prince anymore. Shangguan Qi already knows that I am not the real Xiao Liulang. Why doesn't he expose me in front of the king?"

Xiao Heng also analyzed this doubt carefully. He said: "Because exposing you only proves that you are a bad person. It cannot absolve him of the crime of regicide. This is completely different. Even if he insists on saying that you were sent by Shangguan Yan Careful work, but where is the evidence? If he can't produce any evidence, it becomes another empty slander against Shangguan Yan."

Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "That's it."

Xiao Heng continued: "There is another very important reason. You do not have a strong backer. It is more advantageous for the Black Wind Cavalry to fall into your hands than to fall into the hands of other aristocratic families. It will be easier for him to **** it back in the future."

Gu Jiao hesitated: "So he is actually using me. Shangguan Qi is more scheming than he thought."

Xiao Heng straightened out the strand of black hair hanging from her temples, and looked at her gently but firmly: "He will one day understand that you, who are looked down upon, are his most unshakable enemy."

"Speaking of enemies." Gu Jiao frowned, "There is a master beside the prince who can hurt Gu Changqing. Gu Changqing has never seen him before, which is strange."

Xiao Heng pondered for a moment: "It's really strange. Since that person is so powerful, why wasn't he allowed to participate in this selection? He should be a more suitable candidate than Gu Changqing."

Gu Jiao touched her chin: "I'll find an opportunity to go to the Prince's Mansion to find out what's going on."

"I'm going to investigate." Xiao Heng said, "I am the emperor's eldest grandson. When the monarch wakes up, I will find an excuse to go to the prince's mansion and see who the person who injured him is."

-

The news that Shangguan Qi was deposed as prince reached the palace that night.

Concubine Han Guifei was copying Buddhist scriptures in her room. When she heard the bad news, the brush in her hand fell onto the half-copied Buddhist scriptures.

 The entire Buddhist scriptures were destroyed in an instant.

Concubine Han sat on the cushion and turned to look coldly at the young **** kneeling at the door: "Tell me what you just said again! What's wrong with my prince?"

The little **** tapped the ground with his forehead, lying on the ground and begging: "Hui, Hui, Hui, master, His Highness the Second Highness assassinated the monarch in the Imperial Preceptor's Palace, and the monarch Long Yan was furious... His Highness the Second Highness... deposed the Second Highness's The position of prince!"

Concubine Han pulled the Buddhist scriptures under her hand into a ball of paper bit by bit: "Nonsense! How could the prince assassinate your majesty!"

 The little **** said fearfully: "Slave, slave, I just heard the news."

Concubine Han said sternly: "Go! Call the people around the prince!"

"Yes Yes!"

 The little **** crawled on the ground and walked out.

 “No need to shout, this is true.”

With a deep voice, a man in a black cloak walked over from the night.

Concubine Han winked at the **** beside her.

The great **** understood and took the two confidant maids out of the palace, and closed the palace door from the outside.

Concubine Han glanced at the man, her expression was not as disdainful as she was in front of the servants, but after all, such a big thing happened, and she couldn't give him a good look.

 “You’re here.” She said calmly, “What’s going on?”

The man in black robe sat cross-legged opposite her: "He is a troublesome guy."

Concubine Han was slightly surprised: "There are not many people who can make you feel troublesome."

The man in black robe sighed slowly: "It's the aide in the prince's palace. This matter can be regarded as my negligence. I failed to kill him with a sword and let him escape. The prince went to capture him, but Shangguan Yan was hit. plan."

Concubine Han asked: "Did Shangguan Yan do it?"

The man in black robe said calmly: "Maybe it's the emperor's eldest grandson. After all, the mother and son are here. It's not a perfect plan, it's just a calculation of people's hearts to the extreme. In addition, the Guoshi Palace also plays a very interesting role in this incident. Role."

Concubine Han frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

The man in black robe said: "With the status of the Imperial Preceptor, I could have stopped His Highness from entering the Imperial Preceptor's Palace to search, but he did not do so. I think he did it on purpose."

Concubine Han said in disbelief: "Are you saying that the Imperial Preceptor colluded with Shangguan Yan? This is impossible! Shangguan Yan and the Xuanyuan family ended up in this situation because of the Imperial Preceptor!"

The man in black robe sighed and said slowly: "Mother, the more impossible something is in the world, the more unprepared it is. You authorities are deluded, but I am a bystander, so you probably won't believe what I say. Even if the king is slightly suspicious, If we look at the role played by the Imperial Master’s Palace in this, I’m afraid His Highness the Second Highness will not be deprived of his position as Crown Prince on the spot.”

After Concubine Han calmed down, she snorted coldly and said: "So what? No matter how long the hand of the Imperial Master's Palace is, can it reach this palace? I don't care what deal Shangguan Yan and the Imperial Master have reached behind the scenes, as long as she dares If you restore the status of the princess, I will have a way to deal with her!"

The man in black robe kindly advised: "Shangguan Yan is different from what she was more than ten years ago. Your Majesty, please don't be careless."

Concubine Han said disdainfully: "She is just a princess. Even her mother, Xuanyuan Hanyan, was defeated by me! No queen has ever fought against me. Does she think the princess is great?"

The man in black robe raised his tea cup: "My queen's wrist is well deserved to be the best in the Sixth Palace."

Concubine Han sneered: "When it comes to palace fights, I have never lost!"

 The moon is bright and the stars are rare.

A dilapidated carriage came to the gate of the outer city of Shengdu with a clanging sound.

　　The guard guarding the city stopped the carriage: "Stop! Who is it!"

 The driver stopped the carriage.

A little old man with a serious face and a hint of saintly air opened the curtain of the carriage and handed over the document in his hand: "Can you please be accommodating, little brother, and we will rush into the city."

The guard opened the document and looked at it: "Are you the master of Lingbo Academy? Why did you leave the city?"

The little old man smiled and said, "Ah, I went back to my hometown for a kiss."

 “The city gate is closed!”

 Another guard in the city shouted.

 Generally no one will be allowed to enter the city when the city gates are closed.

 The little old man gave him a money bag.

 The guard weighed it and found that the weight was very satisfactory.

He put the money bag into his arms without leaving a trace, and said solemnly: "A lot of things have happened in Shengdu recently, and everyone who comes to Shengdu must be strictly investigated. It is reasonable to check the road guide for your return home, but the inspection route The guard who led us was off duty a quarter of an hour ago. But I see that you are old and it would be inconvenient to sleep out in the open air, so I will make it easier for you! Wait, who else is in the carriage? "

 The little old man said calmly: "It's Zhuo Jing."

The guard glanced into the curtain.

I saw a plainly dressed old lady holding a jar of preserves and nibbling on the preserves.

 “What are you looking at!” The old lady glared at him fiercely.

The guard was stunned by the scolding.

 If you want to check the household registration, does it mean that you are a couple?

At this moment, the old lady’s back felt itchy and she wanted to scratch it.

As soon as she raised her hand, the guard saw the little old man beside him hugging his head reflexively!

Guard: “…”

　　Well…I wouldn’t be able to develop this skill without being squeezed for decades.

There is no need to check, if this couple wasn't a couple, he would chop off their heads!
