Contract Prince

Chapter 61

It was the first time for the gentle and elegant son-in-law to speak in such a harsh tone, which shows how deep her hatred for Lu Zhong is.

Last time, when Lu Zhong framed Tao Ce, although Gu Yunjing was also angry and resentful, the hatred was definitely not as strong as this time, because this time the life of Her Royal Highness was involved.

Thinking of Lu Zhong's identity, Xiao Muchue said with some concerns: "Lu Zhong is Lu Lin's only son. Once he is caught, Lu Lin will definitely not let it go, and will definitely do his best to protect his son. Father respects Lu Lin very much. I'm afraid that I will take into account my affection at that time, and I will be lenient to Lu Zhongwang."

"No, Lu Zhong must die!" Gu Yunjing's tone and gaze became unshakable, "Such insane people, if they stay for one more day, it will be a big disaster, and they will definitely continue to murder us in the future. This is one of them.

"Second: Lu Zhong is a young man who is very easy to be used by others. No matter whether he falls to King Zhao or King Duan in the future, for King An, this will be a stumbling block on the road to succession."

"Although Lu Lin has always maintained neutrality, once his son is used or threatened by others, there is no guarantee that he will not be controlled by others. Lu Lin is the head of civil servants and has a very high prestige. King Zhao or King Duan getting him is like adding wings to a tiger."

The son-in-law was categorical: "So, no matter whether it is private or public, Lu Zhong must die!"

Xiao Muchue was thoughtful, and slowly expressed his worries: "Lu Lin has always maintained a neutral attitude, but if he knew that Lu Zhong died at our hands, he would definitely shoot us. The Three Emperors Brother is very close to us, Duke Ning will also be his enemy."

"As the saying goes, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Maybe because of this incident, he completely fell for Duan Wang or Duan Wang. This is not good for Brother San Huang."

"Your Highness is really thoughtful." Gu Yunjing smiled, and his clear eyes gradually became deep and complicated, "We can use the hand of King Zhao to get rid of Lu Zhong, who is backed by General Qin She of Hussars. At that time, Qin She and Lu Lin are two tigers fighting, and one of them must be wounded."

Xiao Muxue looked at this weak young man who played tricks to the fullest, and she knew that with the help of his son-in-law, Xiao Zhan would be able to dominate the world.

"My son-in-law, you are bothering about Brother Zhan."

Gu Yunjing smiled lightly: "Your Highness can remember my kindness, that's fine."

"I will." Xiao Muxue said, "Not only I will, but the people of the Xiao Kingdom will know it. Today's Xiao Kingdom looks full of flowers and flowers, but in fact it is full of torrents. There are enemy nations disturbing the border outside, and courtiers fighting each other inside."

"Father is very happy, lives extravagantly, and acts like a bully. This kind of wind prevails in the court. Not only in the court, but also in the army. Otherwise, why would the hundreds of thousands of men in the Xiao Kingdom be beaten by the Xiliang barbarians? Retreating steadily?"

Xiao Muxue's gaze gradually changed from cold to far away, and she spoke earnestly and earnestly: "Xiao Guotai needs a wise king to rule the world, to calm the chaos on the border outside, and to secure the court and society inside. It will benefit the world and benefit the common people."

"Your Highness, what you said is true." Gu Yunjing admired, "Only when King An succeeds to the throne, can the common people have a clear world."

"My son-in-law, I want to ask you, how do you plan to punish Lu Zhong with the help of King Zhao Xiao Cong?"

Gu Yunjing said slowly: "My master has developed Chun.Xin.Dong. This medicine is specially prepared for Lu Zhong."

"As Your Highness said, Lu Zhong has a powerful father. Even if he has violated women, Lu Lin will definitely cover it up at all costs." Gu Yunjing said every word, "So, we have to Work hard on the object he violated."

Xiao Muxue didn't seem to understand, she asked: "My son-in-law, can you explain it more clearly?"

"The person we choose must be Princess Zhao." Gu Yunjing smiled slightly, revealing two delightful dimples, "Does Your Highness understand now?"

Xiao Muxue said sternly: "After Lu Zhong took the medicine, he deliberately arranged for him to violate Princess Zhao, so as to anger Prince Zhao and Concubine Li."

"Indeed." Gu Yunjing said, "Tao Ce just said some indecent words to the court lady that day, and he was sent to death row. If Lu Zhong offended Princess Zhao, the consequences would be serious without even thinking about it."

Concubine Zhao Wang has always been arrogant, relying on the limelight of King Zhao and Concubine Li, bossing around, humiliating and laughing at the other concubines.Last time, in front of Xiao Guan, he openly framed Concubine An.If it wasn't for the concubine's wit, Xiao Zhan and his wife would have been convicted long ago.

Now that she is honored to be the pawn of the son-in-law, Xiao Muxue doesn't think she is pitiful, the wicked will always have retribution.

Xiao Muxue asked again: "Even if Lu Zhong is dead, how can father forgive Tao Ce?"

"Your Highness, why did Tao Ce's case become so serious? The more reason is that Lu Lin was behind the scenes and fueled the flames. He wanted Tao Ce to be a scapegoat, and he wanted to put all the morals that corrupted ethics in front of the emperor and said." .”

"If his precious son offends Princess Zhao, what face does he have to say in front of His Majesty?" Gu Yunjing said slightly, "At that time we will play the family card and intercede for Tao Ce together. Do you remember? Your Majesty once owe me a reward."

Gu Yunjing sighed sadly: Actually, I also know that Tao Ce is having a hard time in death row.But if I exercise this gift too early, once Tao Ce is released from prison, Lu Zhong will definitely make another move.This full plan will definitely be disrupted, so I can only wrong him first. "

Her Royal Highness has been completely captured by the intelligence of the son-in-law. In the words of the 21st century, she is already a little fan of the son-in-law.

Xiao Muxue said: "If Lu Zhong can die, it doesn't matter if Tao Ce stays in prison for a few more days."

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with the plan I set?" Gu Yunjing smiled.

"Exquisite." Xiao Muxue could only use sighs to describe the admiration and shock in her heart.

"Your Highness, you can rest in peace this time. Leave everything to me to arrange. Yun Jing doesn't want you to worry about it, but only hopes that you can take care of yourself. Only when Your Highness is well can I feel at ease."

Xiao Muxue still hated Gu Yunjing in the morning meeting, but now she no longer has the slightest dislike for the son-in-law, and said slightly moved: "With the son-in-law here, I believe I can feel at ease no matter what time it is."

"That's good. Your Highness, can I make a request?"

Xiao Muxue was stunned, because since getting along with Gu Yunjing, she has always asked the son-in-law for help, and the son-in-law has never asked her for help.She said, "Please tell me, son-in-law."

"I want to take care of His Highness instead of Yuyao, is that okay?" Gu Yunjing rubbed her hair with her slender fingers, and after a while, she said softly with a blushing face.

At this moment, the son-in-law is as innocent as a shy and shy girl, not like a counselor who has the talent to help the world.

"Yes." Xiao Muxue also said happily, "I'm just afraid that the son-in-law will work too hard."

"Where is it, don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Gu Yunjing was very happy, and quickly waved his right hand and said.When she was happy, she completely forgot that her right palm had been burned.

The son-in-law has a fair complexion, and the palms of his hands are naturally smooth and translucent. The red and swollen blisters are partly on it, which makes people see it very clearly.

"My son-in-law, what happened to your palm?" Xiao Muxue asked hastily.

Seeing that the little secret had been discovered, Gu Yunjing sighed slightly in her heart, slowly lowered her hand, and said, "Your Highness, it's okay, it's just that you accidentally burned it when serving the soup."

"Is it serious? Show me quickly." Xiao Muxue was very panicked.

"En." Gu Yunjing spread out his right hand, and slowly handed the palm to Xiao Muxue.

"It's swollen and red? It must be very painful. Have you applied any medicine?"

"I've been prescribed medicine." Gu Yunjing whispered, his tone weak and weak, obviously lacking confidence.

The princess took the son-in-law's hand and stroked it gently.Looking carefully at the place where she was burned, she frowned and said, "I've been prescribed medicine, but it's still so swollen? Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look?"

The moment she came into contact with Her Royal Highness, she instinctively conveyed a tingling sensation, as if she had touched an electric current.

"His Royal Highness's hands are so soft. If His Highness can touch my hand like this every day, then I would be willing to be burned every day." Gu Yunjing secretly said in his heart.

"My son-in-law, do you want to send the imperial physician to see it?" Xiao Muxue said again, looking at Gu Yunjing's silly look, she couldn't understand it, the burn should be painful.

"Ah," Gu Yunjing broke free from the mood of stealing joy, "There is no need to pass on the imperial physicians. The imperial physicians are so busy every day. If you trouble them with a little injury or pain, they will probably be even more busy. Later, I Let Caiyue take a look, she knows as much about medicine as imperial physicians."

"Your Highness," Gu Yunjing paused, and said boldly, "My palm is swollen and hot, and your hand is just cold, can you stroke the area around the injured part to cool it down?"

Seeing that Xiao Muxue didn't immediately agree, Gu Yunjing suddenly felt resentful.She quickly added a question: "My master said that this method is very effective."

What Gu Yunjing said was correct, Shangguan Lan had indeed said so.Back then, when the medical sage was chasing his wife, he often used this method. The two of them touched their little hands, and their feelings came out.

Shangguan Lan was also very proud to teach the "pickup skills" to each of his apprentices, vowing to use this method to ensure that he would capture the hearts of beauties.

Xiao Muxue said: "Since it is what Senior Shangguan said, there must be some truth to it."

Gu Yunjing secretly rejoiced, but did not expect that Master's words would come in handy at a critical moment.While being happy, the son-in-law, who has always been far-sighted, came up with a plan: wouldn't it be possible to use the name of the master's words in the future to get in touch with the princess more.Touch a little hand today, rub your forehead tomorrow or something.

"My son-in-law, spread your hands flat."

"well."

Xiao Muxue's soft fingers moved slowly in Gu Yunjing's palm, this electric shock-like feeling became more and more intense, and the son-in-law almost made a "special" sound.Although she was trying to restrain herself, the emotions in her heart were like a big river bursting its embankment, flowing and surging.

……

Tao Ce has been locked in the death row for nearly a month, and this day he finally saw the person he most wanted to see.

The moment the iron bars in the prison were opened, Tao Ce almost sprinted towards the young man, that was so exciting.

"Yunjing, you've finally come. I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon and I've finally found you." Although Tao Ce was happy, he also complained a little, "Damn it, you haven't seen anyone for a month, do you feel immersed in the gentleness every day? in."

Tao Ce pretended to cry and said, "You are so heartless. Enjoying sex every day, how can you still remember your brothers in the prison. No, no, no, I am so sad, it hurts so much."

Tao Ce thumped his chest twice and sighed, "It hurts so much."

Gu Yunjing smiled, Tao Ce is still the same Tao Ce, even in this death row, he has not changed his temperament at all.If Tao Ce didn't say these words, she would feel strange instead.

"Master Tao, are you ready to complain? Do you want to hang yourself again by crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself?" Gu Yunjing teased with his hands in his cuffs.

Tao Ce waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. What if I hang myself to death? I don't have a few days to live. I have to drink a few jars of good wine and eat a few more dollars at the last minute." Meat."

"Wherever you go, you don't forget to drink and eat meat." Gu Yunjing glanced at Tao Ce's attire. He was well-dressed and dressed in brocade and satin robes. He clearly looked like a nobleman, and he didn't even have the image of a prisoner. ?Looking around again, a mat is filled with wine, meat and delicacies.

Compared with Tao Ce, Xiao Zhan's treatment when he was imprisoned was extremely poor.Gu Yunjing exclaimed: "It's good enough, your treatment is really good, it's no worse than staying at home."

"Cut." Tao Ce rolled his eyes, "You can just drink and eat meat, no freedom."

Gu Yunjing asked curiously: "How can you enjoy such good treatment?"

Tao Ce felt very proud of being able to answer the questions of the extremely clever son-in-law.He straightened his body and smiled: "You don't know that, but listen to me slowly."

"My father said that the Qin Tianjian gave a memorial to His Majesty, but I forgot the specific words. The general idea is to watch the sky at night, and blood should not be seen in March. It seems that he also gave His Majesty a message, saying that this month treats the prisoners in the prison well." , can accumulate great fortune.”

"Anyway, it's such a mess of nonsense. I didn't expect His Majesty to believe it. So I decreed that in the season of March, the prisoners in the prison should be treated well, and relatives are allowed to visit the prison. The official department also gave us a lot of wine. .”

"Anyway, His Majesty said that the prisoners should be treated kindly, so my father asked his servants to bring over a lot of fine wine. This is the first time I have seen such a way of going to prison after growing up."

"So that's how it is." Gu Yunjing said, "It seems that Qin Tianjian really worked hard for your affairs. All the prisoners are able to live so freely because of your favor."

"No matter how happy I am, I won't be alive for a few days." The optimistic Tao Ce suddenly became sad, "One month is coming soon, and I will soon become a dead soul under the sword."

"Although I'm a good man again after 18 years, but I don't accept my death. If I die so wronged, I won't feel at ease even if I'm a ghost." Tao Ce's handsome face showed impassioned expression, "A man is born Be open and upright, die like a corpse shrouded in horse leather, even if you want to die, you have to die on the frontier."

"I really regret that I chose to listen to my father's advice and didn't join the army. I'm about to die. I'm afraid this wish will not come true. It's a lifelong regret."

The ancestors of Xiao Guo were military generals, and it was through mutiny that they conquered the country.Once a general has military power in his hands, it is easy to launch a mutiny.It was precisely with this in mind that Xiao Guan implemented the policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts.Now that the border is in a hurry, this policy has only been slightly relaxed.

In the country of Xiao, the status of soldiers is far inferior to that of scholars.Not only is his status low, but he also risked his life to go to the battlefield.Therefore, Tao Shen, Marquis of Wu'an, always hoped that Tao Ce could obtain fame.

"Who said you were going to die? Who said your wish could not be fulfilled?" Gu Yunjing said, "You will be able to walk out from here with your head held high in a short time."

"Really? Are you lying to me?" Tao Ce said disapprovingly. Entering this death row is like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered at any time.Although His Majesty treated the prisoner leniently for one month, everyone knew in their hearts that after one month, they would still die.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you?"

Tao Ce shook the bridge of his nose with his hands. He recalled the past in detail, as if Gu Yunjing had never lied to himself, and always kept what he said.

"Haha." Tao Ce clapped his hands, slapped left and right, and said excitedly, "I guess God thinks I'm so handsome, I'm sorry, God is jealous of talents."

Gu Yunjing raised her eyebrows and said: "Maybe God thinks you are too ugly, so I am sorry to accept you. After all, ugly people always live long."

"Gu Yunjing, are you serious?" Tao Ce said with a dark face, a hurt expression, "Break off friendship!"

"Okay, okay. Stop, don't talk nonsense, I think you must be lonely and lonely after staying here for a month, so I gave up my tongue to tease you." Gu Yunjing said, "Don't waste time, let's be serious."

Tao Ce tilted his head: "Teasing is fun, don't, keep talking."

Gu Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Tao, don't be naughty. After you are released from prison, I will cleanse you up and spend the night with you."

"Great, deal!" Tao Ce said excitedly.

Gu Yunjing calmed down, and his eyes became a little heavy: "I have already thought of a way to deal with Lu Zhong, you can stay here at ease."

"By the way, have Lu Lin and his son been here?"

"I've been here once." Tao Ce gritted his teeth, "This bitch, how dare you come here? I scolded him back severely."

Gu Yunjing asked again: "Did they leave anything to say?"

After thinking for a while, Tao Ce replied: "Lu Lin knew that my father was working hard on my case, so he advised me to confess my guilt obediently and stop making unnecessary struggles. This case was ordered by His Majesty Dali Temple and cannot be overturned."

"Fuck him. Mother. I can't find it. If the young master goes out, kill them bastard father and son." Tao Ce had no place to vent his resentment, and insulting Lu Lin and his son could be regarded as a way for him to vent.

Gu Yunjing's emotions were obviously not as intense as Tao Ce's. She pondered and said, "I know that Uncle Tao has been working hard for you, and he has attracted many ministers who have friendship with him to write letters to His Majesty. Although Lu Lin knew that Uncle Tao could not change the reality, he also Afraid of long nights and many dreams. Lu Lin must have doubts about the matter of Qin Tianjian."

"As long as you don't die, this matter will not end. The reason why Lu Lin didn't harm you in prison is because he was afraid that your strange death would cause him unnecessary trouble. Their father and son have been waiting for a month, and the last few days are the key At any moment, they will definitely send eyeliners to keep an eye on the Wu'anhou Mansion and the death cell in Dali Temple."

Tao Ce stared and asked, "You weren't being stared at on the way here today, were you?"

"Yes, of course I drew all the eyes of Duke Ning. It's not convenient for me to go to your house during this time. You tell Uncle Tao that he doesn't have to run away. If you try to get ministers to speak for you, His Majesty will be even more annoyed. "

"One more thing." Gu Yunjing warned carefully, "If that Lu Lin comes again, you should be kinder, and you'd better pretend to be an obedient confession."

Tao Ce asked, "Why?"

Gu Yunjing didn't intend to tell Tao Ce the whole set of strategies, after all, the time to visit the prison was coming soon, so she just said slightly

: "If you want to come out alive, just do as I tell you."

"Oh, yes. Although I don't want to, but in order to kill the Lu family father and son, it is okay to sacrifice one's integrity."

Gu Yunjing just smiled and said nothing.

"Yun Jing, can I ask you something?" Tao Ce begged.

Gu Yunjing said: "Tell me, what are you doing so politely?"

"I want to join the army and serve under your father's command. My dream in this life, Tao Ce, is to one day follow Uncle Gu to fight the enemy." Tao Ce said in the most serious and solemn tone ever.

"Let's talk about it when you come out." Gu Yunjing couldn't make up his mind about this matter.

"No, no. It will be too late when I come out, and my father will definitely not let me join the army. He is going to say something like three generations of single pass, and I can hear the cocoons in my ears." Tao Ce said sadly.

"Then how do you want me to help you?"

"The day after tomorrow is the deadline for recruiting soldiers. You have someone to sign up for me first, so that after I get out of prison, I can directly follow the army to practice. Even if my father finds out at that time, there is no way to stop me. "Tao Ce has always paid special attention to the battle ahead.

He was in prison, counting the deadlines for recruitment day by day.Every day the recruitment time passed, his disappointment increased by one point.
