Chapter 168: One troublemaker is enough, but Gu Jinyi has two!
The carriage was ready, and Chu Hanxiao was about to help Xie Qinghuan get on.
Gu Jinyi, who was tied up, was escorted to his knees in front of her feet.
The voice was choked.
"Miss Xie... Today's incident was caused by my failure to discipline my subordinates and my poor judgment of people...
I am willing to take full responsibility, can you please... spare the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"
Xie Qinghuan raised his eyes and glanced at the indifferent Chu Hanxiao.
Sighed.
She knew that Gu Jinyi was not a bad person, just a little stupid.
but……
She has no say in court affairs.
"Things have come to this point... How the emperor will deal with it is not up to you or me to decide."
Just wanted to turn around and get on the carriage.
But then I heard him choking and saying:
"Miss Qing... you know, I want to see you today... do I want to say something to you?"
Xie Qinghuan stopped and didn't look back.
Waiting for him to finish what he wanted to say.
He smiled sadly.
A tear slid down my face, itchy and salty.
He said……
"I want to tell you that if you can't accept me, it's because of the grudges between our fathers and my status as the son of Zhenbei Marquis...
Then I am willing not to inherit the title and live in Kyoto... so that you can be closer to the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
As he said this, he lowered his head in despair.
“But I don’t know…why it turned out like this!
I really... didn't mean to hurt you, how could I bear to kidnap you?"
He himself couldn't figure it out.
Why do I always screw up!
Things always develop in the direction he hates the most!
Seeing him in such pain.
Xie Qinghuan felt sad and said:
“Look at the two people around you, one likes you, and the other is jealous of you.
How can they be on the same page with you and work for you?"
What does the saying go?
I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm just afraid of no good people!
A troublemaker is bad enough, but Gu Jinyi is even more amazing!
There are two beside him!
Gu Jinyi fell into deep thought.
He was helped up by the palace soldier and stuffed into the carriage.
The group entered the palace before it got completely dark and before the keys of the palace gates were locked.
When the emperor heard the whole incident, he was furious.
"You bastards! Is this what the Marquis of Zhenbei taught you? Drag them all out and chop them into pieces!!!"
hiss! ! !
Xie Qinghuan was shocked when he heard it!
It turns out that Chu Hanxiao’s tyrant genes came from here!
She immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Uncle Emperor! Uncle Emperor, please understand clearly that Gu Jinyi was indeed unaware of what happened today!
And if he hadn’t protected me with all his strength, I might have been bullied by Gu Yan, the eldest son of Zhenbei Marquis…”
The emperor also sighed.
"Qing Huan, cheer up! You are just too kind-hearted! Are you scared today?"
Kindness?
Yes, yes, she is kind-hearted!
Xie Qinghuan nodded and stood up.
"Thanks to the brothers who arrived in time and Gu Jinyi's protection, Qinghuan was not frightened."
"I'm glad you're not frightened. Sit down and talk."
The emperor comforted Xie Qinghuan.
He stared at Gu Jinyi in deep thought.
"I heard..."
The ethereal and intimidating voice echoed in the hall.
Gu Jinyi and Gu Yan knelt tremblingly in front of the prince.
I broke out in a cold sweat at his pause.
"When General Luo was fighting in Beiling, he asked for help from the Marquis of Zhenbei, but was ignored?"
He glanced at Luo Changfeng who was standing on the side and asked:
"Changfeng, is this true?"
Luo Changfeng stepped forward, clasped his fists and nodded.
"Reporting to His Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"Hmph... Gu Wei raises soldiers but doesn't fight for me! So, can these soldiers be considered private soldiers?"
No matter how innocent Gu Jinyi is, he knows the weight of these words!
The ministers are entrenched in one area and raising private soldiers, which is suspected of... rebellion!
He kowtowed repeatedly.
Speak from the heart.
"Your Majesty, please understand! My father has his own reasons for refusing to send troops! Your Majesty!!"
"Difficulties? What difficulties?
He raises his own soldiers, but has a private relationship with the Prime Minister. Tell me, what is his reason!!!"
The emperor slammed the table, and Xie Qinghuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe!
so close……
She didn’t know…
The Emperor is already on guard against the Marquis of Zhenbei!
fortunately……
She didn't get too close to Gu Jinyi!
otherwise……
"Your Majesty, my father, my father is just..."
Gu Jinyi didn't know what to say.
But still tried to explain for Zhenbei Hou.
What about Gu Yan again?
It has already been shaken into a sieve.
The body is wet...
That's the psychological quality!
Still want to inherit the title of Marquis?
The emperor chuckled upon seeing this.
He patiently persuaded Gu Jinyi and set a trap for him.
"So, how do you think I can put your father at ease?"
Gu Jinyi’s mind was spinning rapidly.
He knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger.
But I don’t know…
He grew up in Beiling, but one day he was trembling with fear in the Golden Throne Hall...
Swallow your saliva.
The sweat from his forehead ran into his eyes but he didn't even bother to wipe it off.
He kowtowed.
"I... would like to persuade my father to hand over 20,000 elite soldiers..."
The emperor then curled his lips slightly.
He leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.
"Then let your father take the imperial edict to the capital and bring his son home!"
Just a few words.
He then captured 20,000 elite soldiers from Beiling.
He also appointed the next Marquis of Zhenbei.
after all……
Isn’t Gu Jinyi, who knows the times, more suitable than others?
At that time...
When the Marquis of Zhenbei came to the capital, he gave him another warning.
This will warn the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to behave themselves!
His eyes never missed Bei Ling!
Gu Jinyi heard this.
He swallowed his saliva with a gulp.
Trembling, he nodded in agreement.
"Yes……"
He is worried...
Will the emperor lure my father to the capital and then take the opportunity to detain him there?
Before I could even raise my eyes.
But then I heard the emperor speak casually.
"As for the others...kill them all to vent my anger!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty..."
Gu Yan could not believe until his death that Xie Qinghuan was so favored by the emperor!
If he had known that the emperor loved her so much, how could he dare to touch her?
But it's too late to say anything now!
The imperial edict has been issued.
He could only throw himself on Gu Jinyi unwillingly.
"Jinyi, please save me! I am your biological brother!! Gu Jinyi!!!"
Gu Jinyi felt a little soft-hearted again.
"His Majesty……"
Before she could open her mouth, she was silenced by a warning look from the emperor.
"Don't forget, your life was saved by Qing Huan!
If you don't want it anymore... just be with him!"
Gu Jinyi didn't dare to say anything more.
All he could do was watch Gu Yan being dragged away.
The bare wrist left a bloodstain in the Golden Palace.
Afterwards, Gu Jinyi was also taken away.
He is temporarily placed under house arrest in the old house, with no one to serve him.
As for the “others”…
Luo Changfeng saw that the emperor had dealt with Gu Yan.
He also took the opportunity to seize 20,000 elite troops from the Marquis of Zhenbei.
I think I should be in a good mood now that I'm back.
Then he stepped forward and pleaded guilty.
"Your Majesty, today I heard that my younger sister was in trouble, and I was anxious... I disobeyed your order and left the palace..."
The emperor didn't even look at him.
He just waved his hand and called Xie Qinghuan over.
Regardless of any rules, he called her to the dragon throne.
He held her forearm and looked her up and down.
"It's not hurt, is it?"
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Huang. Qinghuan is fine."
"Then my treatment...are you satisfied?"
"Well, thank you Uncle Huang for supporting me..."
She glanced at Luo Changfeng who was still kneeling on the steps and moaned.
"Uncle Huang, then please don't blame my elder brother for leaving the house, okay?"
It is rare to see Xie Qinghuan acting like a spoiled brat.
The old emperor chuckled.
"Okay! Since Qing Huan has spoken, then of course that's fine!"
He raised his hand to signal Luo Changfeng to stand up, and he pondered and straightened his voice.
"I didn't mean to restrict his footing, I just wanted him to recover from his injuries!
Now that your injury has healed, there is no need to stay in the house anymore! Tomorrow... you can go to court again!"
"Yes!"
Luo Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Then the emperor heard his voice pinched again, and said to Xie Qinghuan earnestly:
"Ji'er will be back in the palace tomorrow, Qinghuan, come and take a look to see if she's suitable for you!"
If you still don't like it...
Then I can only support my old waist, grit my teeth, pick up my gun and fight again!
