Leng Shuang didn't dare to speak. She was afraid that if she offended Gu Tingyu, her marriage would be ruined.
"Shuang'er, I have something to discuss with you." Gu Tingyu suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Leng Shuang said softly. She couldn't help clenching her hands. She was very nervous.
"I'm going to move out."
"Ah?" Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment: "Why is this, Your Majesty?"
"I want to go out and live by myself for a while." Gu Tingyu said.
"Oh, that's good, but where are you going, Prince?" Leng Shuang asked tentatively.
"I want to go to the Northern Desert." Gu Tingyu said these words slowly. The Northern Desert is the border between the Northern Desert Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty. He wants to go to the Northern Desert. He must find out what it is as soon as possible.
man, we must put him to death.
Chapter 2 Escape
Gu Tingyu left the capital with Leng Shuang. Behind them was a group of cavalry, who protected Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang as they headed towards Beimo.
…
Leng Shuang sat on the horseback, feeling a little uneasy. She looked at the sky in the distance. It was a gray sky with occasional flashes of thunder and lightning. She turned her head and looked at Gu Tingyu. At this time, his expression
He was very calm and showed no signs of panic.
She suddenly understood why Gu Tingyu was so powerful. His courage and courage were beyond her imagination.
"Shuang'er, are you afraid?" Gu Tingyu turned his head, looked at Leng Shuang and said softly.
"Not afraid." A smile appeared on Leng Shuang's lips. In this life, she will be by the prince's side.
Gu Tingyu reached out and held Leng Shuang's hand. Her hand was cold. He squeezed her hand tightly. His palm was broad and strong, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.
Leng Shuang's heart beat faster and faster, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
At this moment, Leng Shuang's whole heart warmed up. This was a feeling she had never experienced before. It turned out that happiness was so simple. She only needed his concern and she was satisfied.
The two of them headed to Bei Mo together. They first arrived in Bei Mo, and then traveled to the Western Regions. After resting in the Western Regions for a day, Gu Tingyu set off for the Imperial City of Bei Mo.
When they arrived at the imperial city, it was already dark. Gu Tingyu ordered everyone to camp outside the city. He and Leng Shuang lived in the post house. Not long after Gu Tingyu lay down, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Tingyu put on his shirt and walked over and opened the door. A servant stood at the door and whispered: "Master, the emperor invites you to enter the palace."
Gu Tingyu frowned: "Did the Emperor say why he summoned me to the palace?"
The boy shook his head: "I don't know, master, please come down with me."
Gu Tingyu followed the boy through the streets and alleys and arrived at the palace.
The palace is an ancient feudal society with strict rules. As soon as Gu Tingyu arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped. The guard guarding the palace gate said: "The emperor has a decree. Except for the emperor and the imperial concubine, no one else is allowed to enter the palace."
"You are so impudent. I am the emperor's younger brother. Why are you blocking me and not letting me into the palace quickly?" Gu Tingyu looked angrily at the two soldiers in front of him.
The two soldiers looked at each other. After they looked at each other, one of them said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Let us go in and report."
Gu Tingyu's eyes were fixed on the two soldiers, hoping that they would tell his father in time that he was no longer willing to stay in the capital, he wanted to leave, and he wanted to find the mastermind personally.
Not long after, the two soldiers came out in a hurry, and one of them bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come to the palace immediately to see me."
Gu Tingyu frowned: "Did the Emperor say when he wants me to enter the palace?"
"The emperor said that since the prince is back, he should enter the palace immediately."
Gu Tingyu nodded after hearing this, and walked towards the palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw Gu Tingyu's mother waiting outside the palace. She was wearing a phoenix robe. Although she was in her sixties,
But the charm is still there, and it is still extremely beautiful.
"I see you, Your Majesty." Gu Tingyu knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
"Yu'er, you are finally willing to come back." The Queen's tone was somewhat resentful: "The Emperor said that you should enter the palace."
"My dear brother, I kowtow to your royal brother." Gu Tingyu kowtowed again.
The Empress sighed and said, "That's all. Get up first. The Emperor has something to say to you."
"If your royal brother has anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible."
Gu Tingyu raised his head, and his eyes fell on the emperor. He was sitting on the dragon throne, with a pair of sharp eagle eyes staring straight at him, as if they wanted to penetrate his skin and penetrate deep into his bone marrow.
Similar everywhere.
"Brother Emperor, please call me here. Do you have anything to give me?"
Gu Tingyu raised his head and met the emperor's gaze without fear. The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand, and the guards standing on both sides of the hall retreated.
"Yu'er, I know that you must be very confused as to why you were assassinated when you were in Western Xinjiang. I am also very surprised." Gu Tingyu frowned.
"The secret guards I sent to protect you also found out about this matter. Those assassins came for you, but the assassins who assassinated you did not hurt you, but actually saved you." The emperor said calmly.
"My dear brother, I really can't figure it out." Gu Tingyu lowered his head.
"Yu'er, do you know that I have been looking for you in the past few years and even almost lost my life. I have suspected that you murdered me more than once, but I have no evidence. If you really want to harm me, there is no need to save me.
, so do you know how worried I am since you have been missing for three years?" The emperor looked at Gu Tingyu, and his tone became harsh.
Gu Tingyu raised his head and looked into the emperor's sharp eyes: "Brother, there must be a misunderstanding. How could I possibly murder the emperor?"
The emperor sighed: "I also hope that this matter is just a misunderstanding. After all, you are my younger brother. I do love you, but I will not love you enough to commit regicide."
Gu Tingyu lowered his head: "Brother Emperor, I..."
The emperor waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know you don't want to enter the palace." The emperor glanced at Leng Shuang and said, "You brought this maid from the countryside. It's inconvenient for me to take her in, so why not send her to the palace?"
Zhuangzi goes up, what do you think?"
Hearing these words, Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. Her purpose was to leave this ghost place, escape from Gu Tingyu, go to a strange place and start her life again. Such a result was something she could not wish for.
Gu Tingyu frowned and looked at Leng Shuang: "Would you like to go to Zhuangzi?"
Leng Shuang raised her head and said resolutely: "I don't want to go to the village. I want to serve the prince."
Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows: "You don't have to wait on me. I will find you a job. You can embroider the dowry and take care of the children at home."
"No need," Leng Shuang said, "I only know how to use a sewing machine."
The corners of Gu Tingyu's mouth twitched slightly, he looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Then you can make a screen."
Leng Shuang nodded and said: "Okay, I will go and prepare now. Please wait for a moment, I will be back soon."
After Leng Shuang left, Gu Tingyu looked at the emperor and asked, "Brother, why did you summon me to the palace?"
The emperor sighed: "I know that you don't like living in the palace, and you don't want to be an official in the court. Do you want to go back to the border, or to the Western Regions, or where do you want to go?"
Gu Tingyu frowned and his eyes flickered: "Brother Emperor, I don't understand why I can go wherever I want?"
"Because you are my younger brother." The emperor looked at Gu Tingyu with burning eyes: "I am your biological brother, and your relative is me. How can I just watch you die?"
"Brother Emperor, you don't trust me."
"Whether you believe it or not, this is my decision."
"Brother Emperor..." Gu Tingyu still wanted to argue, but the emperor raised his hand and interrupted him, saying: "Yu'er, you should understand that in the face of imperial power, any family affection is extremely insignificant. I don't want to force you, but,
I must let you stay in the capital. Nothing can happen to you. The blood of our Gu family flows in your body. You are the backbone of the Gu family in the future. Nothing can happen to you. I am already old. If anything happens to you again
, I can’t imagine how long I can last.”
The emperor patted Gu Tingyu on the shoulder and said, "Yu'er, my time is limited. As long as you are by my side, I will feel at ease."
"Brother Imperial, I..." Gu Tingyu opened his mouth, and finally could only say helplessly: "My brother obeys the order."
The emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Yu'er, I still remember that when you were five years old, I once said that you wanted to marry your princess. Now I will grant you a marriage. Are you satisfied?"
"How is this possible?" Gu Tingyu said in surprise: "Brother, my brother has already rejected this marriage."
"You can refuse," the emperor said, "you can also not marry her, but I promised your father that I will treat your wife well and not let her wrong her."
"Brother Emperor..."
"Yu'er, I'm serious. If you agree, we will immediately issue an imperial edict. If you don't agree, then... I will send her to the border of Western Xinjiang and never mention your marriage again." The emperor said slowly.
He said, looking at Gu Tingyu, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "I will never let anyone threaten your safety again."
Gu Tingyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Brother Emperor, I am willing to stay in the palace and help you handle government affairs, but I will not take concubines. I already have someone I like."
"The person you like? Who?" The emperor frowned and looked at Gu Tingyu.
"Brother Imperial, I can't say this. Please forgive me, Brother Imperial." Gu Tingyu said sincerely.
"Since you don't say it, I won't force you, but I don't allow you to marry an unfaithful woman as your concubine. I hope you can think clearly. If you insist on not marrying that girl, then you will never think about it in this life.
Take another step out of the palace." The emperor said solemnly.
"My dear brother, please remember your royal brother's teachings."
Gu Tingyu lowered his eyelids to hide the pain in his eyes.
As soon as Gu Tingyu was released from the palace, he met a woman.
"Your Majesty," the woman bowed and said softly: "The commoner's daughter is the concubine of the second wife of the Taifu Mansion. The commoner's daughter has admired the prince for a long time. I wonder if the prince is interested in spending the rest of his life with the commoner's daughter?"
"No need." Gu Tingyu said indifferently, turned around and wanted to leave. The woman quickly chased after him, grabbed Gu Tingyu's sleeve, and begged pitifully: "My lord, do you dislike the humbleness of civilian women?"
Gu Tingyu shook off the woman's hand and said coldly: "You can call me by my name?" After saying that, he turned around and left.
The woman gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed Gu Tingyu's clothes, and cried: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that it was you who saved the daughter of the people on the street, and you gave the life of the daughter of the people, and now you are the prince?"
, can you just bear to watch civilian girls being raped?"
Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman, smiled coldly, and said sarcastically: "Do you think I saved you to repay your kindness?"
"Isn't it?" the woman asked softly.
Gu Tingyu curled his lips: "You are wrong. I will save you just because I hate deception."
"What do you mean?" The woman looked at Gu Tingyu blankly.
"I saved your life, but you secretly exchanged my things while I was in coma. When I woke up, I lost a thousand taels of silver notes." Gu Tingyu stared at the woman coldly: "You know
? You have destroyed everything about this king, including his dignity and pride."
"You're lying!" the woman yelled angrily, "You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly: "Do I need to lie to you?"
The woman fell to the ground with a pale face. This chapter has been completed!
