I Really Like That Guy!

In the emperor's bedroom, Gu Xiuyan knelt down in the center of the hall, but did not bow his head to express his repentance. He straightened his head and stared indifferently at the emperor sitting above.

His expression was cold and arrogant. He was looking up, but his posture was more like looking down. The ambition and rebelliousness in his eyes almost formed the essence.

"You, you, you rebel!" The emperor pointed at him and panted.

He held his chest, his hair on the temples was already gray, and old wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

"Is the royal father angry at the moment, or is he afraid?" Gu Xiuyan looked at him mockingly, with a cold arc in the corner of his mouth, "What did you do yourself, are you now afraid? If it wasn't for my uncle telling Erchen, I am afraid that Erchen will be kept in the dark for the rest of his life, and he will not even know the cause of his own mother's death!"

Song Renzhou returned to Beijing and told Gu Xiuyan a secret that had been hidden for decades.

Why can't the emperor tolerate the Song family? Why didn't the Song family let go of military power?

Everything was because of the former queen Song Muning, she did not die of sickness as everyone said, but the emperor and his concubine worked together to murder her!

Before Song Muning died, she wrote a letter to her brother, saying that she had been taking poison for so many years.

Song Renzhou got the news, but it was also noticed by the emperor. The emperor was afraid of the military power in his hands and did not dare to touch the Song family, but he also completely tore his face with the Song family.

In the following years, Song Renzhou, in order to protect the family and to avenge the emperor's murder of his sister, has been holding on to the northwest army, making the emperor restless, frightened, and sleepless at night, becoming a thorn in the emperor's throat.

Song Renzhou knew very well that once the military power was gone, the emperor would never let the Song family go.

The most important thing is that the crown prince needs the help of the Song family. If he loses military power, the crown prince will be abolished immediately, and the emperor will transfer the seventh prince.

These are all what Song Renzhou told Gu Xiuyan. When he talked about the tragic death of his sister, the brave general of the Northwest could not help but burst into tears.

Gu Xiuyan believed him, yes, he believed in his uncle who treated him like a parent since he was a child. As for the emperor, he only knew that he never hugged him once, and never gave him a trace of fatherly love.

What's more, regardless of his feelings, from another perspective, he could only choose to trust the Song family. Apart from the Song family, he has no other help, and with the seventh prince as a strong enemy in front of him, he has no choice.

Many people said that Gu Xiuyan couldn't see the situation clearly and was a man of courage and no strategy.

But in fact, Gu Xiuyan has always been clear in his heart what his goal is. In order to win over the Song family, he married his cousin, gave away Su Baiwei, and gave his son to his cousin to raise him. All of this was a compromise he made to achieve his goals.

Whether he believed it or not, he could only believe what his uncle told him, and he could only stand with them.

In the past few years, the emperor has become more and more disappointed with him, and the seventh prince has also risen. Now not only in the court, but also in the people, the deeds of the seventh prince's wise and martial arts are circulating.

In the battle with the seventh prince, the prince's line lost completely.

If it wasn't for the officials of the Song family's court, if it weren't for the Song family's military power to order the emperor to cast his arms against rats, he would have been abolished long ago.

Today is just that, his backer has returned, and he has the confidence to start resisting.

Gu Xiuyan stood up, stepped forward under the emperor's anger, and said in a low voice: "Father, you must really want to abolish me, right? I know you wrote the edict half a month ago, but I don't know. The name on the edict, is it me, or my good seventh brother?"

The emperor was gasping for breath, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was speechless.

"But no matter who it is, it doesn't matter. I guess, why did you finally withdraw your life in the court today and didn't order the abolition of the prince? Did someone tell you that there are 10,000 Northwest troops stationed just outside the capital? You Are you afraid? Are you afraid that they will break through your imperial city? They came back with my uncle, and I have endured for so long just to wait for this day."

As Gu Xiuyan spoke, a smug smile slowly appeared on his face: "You only have 5,000 troops in the Imperial Army, as long as those 10,000 troops come over, who can stop me? It's you, your royal father. , neither can you."

Before the conversation, Gu Xiuyan asked the emperor to drive away the maids and attendants beside him. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the empty hall.

Gu Xiuyan watched the emperor's powerless struggle from the sidelines, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

He took out a scroll of imperial decree from his sleeve, and the handwriting on the imperial decree was the same as that of the emperor, writing the will of the prince to temporarily rule the country. He approached the emperor step by step, picked up a royal seal around his waist, and slowly covered it.

The emperor felt tight in his chest and had difficulty breathing. He watched all this, but couldn't stop it.

That supreme right is about to become his. Gu Xiuyan thought leisurely.

After stamping the seal, Gu Xiuyan turned around without hesitation, his sleeves were windy, and he strode away. He left the dying emperor behind and never looked back.

The situation in the court changed too quickly. A Luo had just heard that the emperor was going to abolish the prince the day before, but the next day he heard that the emperor was seriously ill and ordered the prince to supervise the country.

Even if she is no longer politically savvy, she feels that this development is really wrong.

How could the emperor's attitude change so quickly? And why did he suddenly become seriously ill? Moreover, according to rumors, it seems that he can't even get out of bed now, he just lies and waits to die.

What happened behind the scenes is unknown to everyone, but it can be seen from the results that the prince is very suspicious.

But first, no one has the evidence, and secondly, the will is the emperor's handwriting, and the seal is also the emperor's personal seal, and no one dares to put his beak at will.

So once the situation changed, the capital changed in an instant.

The prince became an invisible emperor, and he handled the memorial in an open and fair manner, taking over the power in the hands of the emperor. What he did on his first day in custody was to order the Seventh Prince to be banned.

The reason given was that the seventh prince disrespected his father and made his father ill, but he completely threw the responsibility on the seventh prince.

In short, few people believe this reason, and everyone can see how fake it is.

However, perhaps because he felt that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Gu Xiuyan didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He first circled the seventh prince, then grounded the other princes, and then dealt with the officials who had opposed him.

Batches of officials from the Seventh Prince's faction were sacked, either dismissed or imprisoned, and the entire capital became turbulent and turbulent.

Gu Xiuyan is a domineering and stern person. Love makes him live and hate makes him die.

He is brutal, and anyone who opposes him will be subdued with thunder. There was an old admonishing officer who gave death advice on the Golden Palace, saying that he was too tyrannical, and he suspected the real cause of the emperor's serious illness. As a result, Gu Xiuyan personally took a knife and cut off his head on the spot, and blood flowed to the ground.

Such cruel behavior made everyone shut up.

However, those who did not agree with him did not accept his fate. The imperial power was not so easy to grasp. Gu Xiuyan was only supervising the country, and he could not control the overall situation, so some people secretly moved.

The seventh prince found out that Song Renzhou had brought 10,000 northwestern troops stationed outside the capital, and sent someone to invite his own men to discuss the funeral.

Yuanting Hou and Wen Renjin were also invited. A Luo accompanied Suisui to play in the garden. Suisui's kite flew outside the courtyard wall. The little guy asked Qingyuan to pick it up. The maid came over and said, "Princess Shizi, someone is looking for you outside."

A Luo turned his head in confusion and asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"

The maid bowed her head and said, "The servant girl looks at me, she seems to be from the Zhao family."

Zhao family? Zhao Qiuchen's house? Shouldn't she be someone from the Seventh Prince's Mansion who is looking for her? Why did the Zhao family come here? Is it to hide people's eyes?

A Luo thought so, and said casually: "Go and ask what's the matter."

As soon as the words fell, the maid who had been bowing her head suddenly raised her head and quickly approached A Luo, with a knife on the side of her neck.

A Luo's eyes went dark, and the only thought before he lost consciousness was, Oops, Ayu will go crazy when he goes home!

When he woke up again, A Luo saw a familiar face in front of him. Sure enough, it was Gu Xiuyan, the man with a problem in his head.

The first sentence he said to her was this: "Yan'er, you are here to rest. From now on, I will be your husband."

A Luo couldn't take it any longer. Her mind was full of Wen Renjin's appearance when she found out that she was missing. He was very frightened last time, and it took her several days to coax her. This is again, how sad and desperate he should be.

Anxious, she said angrily: "Don't you understand people's words? I have a husband, my husband is Wen Renjin, I love him! I only love him in this life! How many women does His Royal Highness want, why not? Find me!?"

She really found it very strange, obviously they didn't have much contact with them. In the past, Su Luoyan always abide by the etiquette when facing the prince, and never crossed the line. Why did he never forget her?

Or is it that men are like this, and what they can't get is the best?

Hearing this, Gu Xiuyan's expression darkened slightly, then he softened his tone and said patiently, "Yan'er don't make trouble with me, I know your temperament, you love him only because he is your husband. We should have Be a husband and wife, when I am enthroned, I will officially seal you as a noble concubine, and we will be husband and wife again from now on, you can have children for me, and you will definitely fall in love with me again."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Arlo to respond, or he knew that Arlo's answer would not satisfy him, so he didn't listen, got up and left.

A Luo was stunned by the male protagonist's fan-like brain circuit, staring at his back in a stunned manner, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

A Luo stayed for a while, and suddenly heard the call of his daughter next to him. He turned his head and saw that Suisui had been brought along with him.

Now, no matter how anxious she is, she must force herself to remain calm.

"Mother, were we caught by that weird uncle just now?" Suisui asked anxiously, snuggling into A Luo's arms.

"Don't be afraid, Suisui, your mother will protect you." A Luo comforted his daughter while thinking about countermeasures. She could not sit still and must find a way to escape.

She now lives in a remote palace in the palace called Luo Xian Palace. According to the direction of the more leaking bell that sounded on time, it can be determined that it is in the northeast corner, quite far from the Golden Palace.

There were only two maids taking care of her, and they were all silent, as if they had been instructed not to talk to her.

But they were not strict with Arlo, perhaps because they felt that a weak woman and a little girl could not escape this heavily guarded palace.

A Luo probed for two days and found that it was not easy to escape by herself and a child.

In the whole hall, in addition to the two maids who were in charge of eating and living, there were also two maids in charge of cleaning, a maid who poured the chamber pot every day, and four tall guards guarding the gate outside the palace.

A Luo can walk freely in the hall, and generally no one will follow her, but once she reaches the gate and wants to go out, she will definitely be stopped.
