Back To My Husband’s Youth

"This……"

Zhao Chengyou squeezed the letter with a face full of disbelief. It seemed that he was greatly frightened, and even his voice became slightly trembling, "How is this possible, this, this is absolutely impossible!" He cast his gaze to the seat. On the opposite side, King Jin, who has been silent since he handed the letter to him, said, "His Royal Highness, this must be a mistake, Chen Concubine, how could it be possible..."

"...That's right."

Xiao Ke's voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded like he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

Since receiving this letter the day before yesterday, he was ill at home and did not go to court. At first, he did not believe it. He felt that the letter was too absurd, but this is how people are. There are some things that you said. When I didn't believe it, I couldn't help but wonder.

He sent countless manpower to finally let him find a court lady who had served his mother and concubine.

"It's the emperor grandmother..."

"She was afraid of the Wang Family, for fear that the Wang Family and Weiyang Palace were unhappy, so after the mother and concubine gave birth to me, they strangled my mother and concubine alive!" Xiao Ke clenched his hands into fists and his eyes were red. , A face that was gentle on weekdays now showed a beast-like ferociousness.

"It's them," he gritted his teeth, his young face was covered with unhidden hatred, and his voice was almost icy, "They killed my mother and concubine!"

"His Royal Highness..."

Zhao Chengyou still looked unbelievable, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure? This is not a trivial matter. Besides, if the empress dowager did it, how could she stay alive and wait for you? To discover?"

"Are you questioning this king?!" Xiao Ke suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhao Chengyou with a gloomy look. He usually stays very generous, but now he uses this king... Zhao Chengyou quickly got up and said, "Don't dare." .

Approximately he also noticed his gaffe, Xiao Ke calmed down for a while, and then said to him in a deep voice, "This king is gagged, you can sit down." After the others took their seats again, he said to him again: "How can I not investigate such a big thing?"

"This palace was originally just a saucy lady in my mother's concubine's palace, she was not very eye-catching, but she had inherited the favor of my mother and concubine before, and felt that the situation in the palace was not quite right on the day of my mother and concubine's birth. I ran over and inquired secretly, but I didn't expect..."

Thinking of what the woman had said to him, Xiao Ke's clenched fists made a sound of knuckles, and her voice suddenly sank. "I didn't expect that when she passed by, she happened to see the old godly woman next to her. The palace man in the palace strangled my mother and concubine to death with Bai Ling!"

"I was just born at that time, and I was lying next to my concubine..." The whole heart seemed to be severely pinched by someone's hands, Xiao Ke's breath was short, and his red eyes seemed to be dripping blood. "She even hugged her. Before I could hug me, I was alive and strangled to death!"

"Later, they killed all the people around my mother and concubine in the name of being weak in the protector...The palace man escaped because he had been cleaning in the outer courtyard."

"It's also because of this that let me know the truth of my mother and concubine's early death!"

After hearing the silence, Zhao Chengyou seemed to want to comfort him a few words, but didn't know how to speak. He could only walk over, pat Xiao Ke's shoulder, and sighed in a low voice: "No matter what, your majesty always protects him. For you."

"I heard that your Majesty also sent you many things specially today to congratulate you on your birthday."

How could he have thought that these words immediately ignited Xiao Ke's anger, and he shouted sharply: "What is it to protect? He is just owed!"

Hate spit out this sentence, and when he glanced at the things on the table, he made a ruthless look. He walked over and threw all the things sent from the palace this morning on the ground, accompanied by a few jade horses. The broken voice was the extremely gloomy words of Xiao Ke, "If he really loves me and my concubine, how can he indulge that old pious woman to kill my concubine? How can he let Xiao Jingxing crush me everywhere!"

Zhao Chengyou glanced over the remnant place, then glanced at Xiao Ke, who looked gloomy, and curled his eyebrows and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I want them to pay their debts!" ​​Xiao Ke gritted his teeth and said this, then suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Chengyou. He seemed to be crazy, and the whole person was in a state of mentally strained madness, and he took a step forward. Putting his hands on Zhao Chengyou's shoulders, his tone was urgent and hopeful, "Chengyou, will you help me?"

"This……"

"Chengyou!" Xiao Ke said in a deep voice, "You know what it's like to lose a mother like I do!"

It seemed that these words touched Zhao Chengyou. His expression changed slightly, and his thick eyelashes quivered slightly. When he raised his head again, he looked straight at Xiao Ke, "Okay, I'll help you."

...

At this time in the palace, Xiao Dingyuan had just finished processing today's memorial, and Dean offered a calming tea to his side, and warmly persuaded: "It's late at night, you should go to rest."

Xiao Dingyuan took a sip of tea and asked, "How is Ke'er?"

De'an replied: "The prince is infected with the wind and cold, and his face is not good. The old slave told the prince according to your instructions, so that he can live and rest for a few days, and don't rush to go to court."

Hearing this, Xiao Dingyuan curled his eyebrows, and his voice sank, "It's good, how can you catch the cold? How do the people around him take care of it?"

"The former prince went out to run a horse in the suburbs. It is estimated that he was caught in the rain when he came back," Dean said with a smile and relief: "They are all young people, and you will be fine after a few days of recuperation. Don't worry too much."

"You still have to find him a wife. No matter how you take care of those servants, it's better to take care of the people next to your bed." Xiao Dingyuan said: "You don't have to be good in your life experience, as long as your family is innocent and your character is good. Good temper is enough, the most important thing is that Ke'er likes it."

Dean naturally smiled and answered "Yes", and said: "The prince must be happy to know that you love him so much."

Xiao Dingyuan was silent for a while when he heard this, and then whispered: "I'm sorry for their mother and son, no amount of love can make up for it."

Knowing that he was thinking of the old things again, Dean was afraid that he would have a headache again at night, so he hurriedly said: "When you were outside, where did you know what was happening in the palace? And for so many years, you have taught the prince yourself and brought him with you every day. As far as love is concerned, the prince and princess are incomparable."

"When you wait for the next day, you can choose a good relationship for the prince, and the concubine Chen will be pleased that she is alive in the sky."

"hope so."

...

Xiao Ke received the portraits of those women only a few days later.

De'an personally delivered it and said a lot of good things. Xiao Ke took the portrait and glanced at it, and then bowed to the palace with his emotions, and then thanked De'an warmly, "I won't heal the cold. After entering the palace, Father Lao went back and thanked his father for me."

"As long as the prince is satisfied, your majesty will be relieved."

De'an smiled and said: "These are all famous ladies in Beijing. Not only are they outstanding in appearance, but their character is even more difficult to say. The prince will pick one you like, and your Majesty will help you arrange a meeting. Your Majesty said, this Marriage still depends on your liking, you can’t just get married."

Wait for someone to go down.

Dean smiled and resigned.

Xiao Ke sent people out of the yard, and when he turned and left, his face with a smile just now sank suddenly. When he walked into the house, he threw the portraits onto the table, and some of them slid across the table. The edge fell to the ground.

While picking up portraits for others, Zhao Chengyou asked: "With so many portraits, doesn't the prince like any of them?"

"What does he mean?" Xiao Ke said angrily, "When marrying Xiao Jingxing, I only choose those centuries-old families and important ministers in the central government. I choose them. They are all incompetent portals! Forget it, I don't need to count on him. Too many, but women, just pick one."

He doesn't care about these now.

As long as this world becomes his, what does he want? Why bother about it at this time?

"I asked you to think about it before, how did you think?" Xiao Ke turned his head and asked Zhao Chengyou.

"Weichen does have a way, but this way is a little aggressive..." Zhao Chengyou rolled up the portrait and put it on the table again. Only then did he get up and look at Xiao Ke, "I'm afraid that your Highness will refuse."

Xiao Ke held the tea cup and gritted his teeth, "I just want revenge now!" Seeing Zhao Chengyou's eyebrows hesitating again, "There are only you and me here, just say it."

"Yes." Zhao Chengyou replied softly. He walked over and pressed his voice to listen to the ears. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Ke abruptly stand up, his face pale and reprimanded: "Zhao Chengyou, you..."

It seems that such a result has been guessed a long time ago. Zhao Chengyou knelt on the ground calmly, with a gentle voice, "His Royal Highness, if you want to get to that position, you must take a treacherous road. Xiao Jingxing has been the prince for more than 20 years. Most of the court officials supported him, and now there is another Li Qinyuan who is in charge of Li Jiajun."

"Do you want to compare power with him, do you compare your uncle who is in charge of the imperial army, or the few ministers who are not high or low around you?"

"That, that can't..." Xiao Ke gritted his teeth, "Collaborate with foreigners!"

"If it spreads out, how do you let others think of me? Even when this king is crowned the Great Treasure, you will also have to bear infamy."

Zhao Chengyou said in a warm voice: "Then King Beidi only asks you to help him solve Xiyi's old opponent after you are crowned Dabao. Xiyi is much closer to us than Beidi, and it is also beneficial to us to resolve them." See Xiao Ke's expression. Begin to waver and add another sentence, "This was originally a matter of mutual benefit. In the future, the courtiers will only praise you, so how can they scold you?"

"Really... won't anyone know?" Xiao Ke was a little moved.

"Your Majesty—" Zhao Chengyou looked at him and said in a deep voice: "It was you who wanted the minister to help you, and the minister remembered that you had a favor to the minister at the beginning, so that you can leave a bright future and accompany you along this way. The dangerous road, if you have a trace of regret, you still have time now, so as not to wait for the day to come, there is no way to save things, and then hesitate!"

After he finished speaking, regardless of what Xiao Ke thought, he got up and left.

In Xiao Ke's eyes, Zhao Chengyou has always been a gentle and tolerant temperament. When did he meet him like this? I was shocked for a while, and when I recovered, I saw that Zhao Chengyou was almost at the door. He hurriedly chased him, holding his arm, and whispered: "Chengyou, I have no regrets."

"I'm just……"

He gritted his teeth, "Finally, I'm up to you!"

Knowing that his move just now aroused people's attention, Xiao Ke said in a low voice: "Chengyou, in this world, I trust you the most. I told you all my secrets. How can I doubt it? You? Don't worry, when I take that position the next day, I will definitely not let down your current plan!"

Zhao Chengyou's complexion only then became better, and his voice gradually eased, "Weichen is impatient."

"Your Majesty, don’t blame the weird minister. You are a prince and grandson, and you have committed a great sin. Your Majesty will also want to forgive you for many years of love with your father and son, but the weird minister is trusting your wealth and life. As long as there is something wrong, the Weichen family is gone."

This remark completely dispelled Xiao Ke's doubts. He patted Zhao Chengyou on the shoulder and said broadly, "Don't worry, since I chose this path, I won't regret it, and..." His expression became darker, his voice mixed with cruelty. Hu, "I've had enough of the days of being slaughtered and charity!"

During this period, things have gradually disappeared in the Xijiao Daying.

Li Qinyuan also had more time to accompany Gu Wuyou, but it was still so hot today, and most of them stayed at home. They had just finished lunch on this day and planned to go to the main courtyard to accompany Mrs. Li. When he spoke, Bai Lu hurried over.

It was the first time that Gu Wuyou saw such Bailu. He vaguely felt bad in his heart, and his voice sank unconsciously, "Did something happen at home?"

She asked Bailu to take some fresh lychees to her home this morning.

Bai Lu's face was pale, and her voice was trembling, "Second Miss, she suddenly passed out this morning."

When Gu Wuyou heard this, his face paled, and he almost couldn't stand firm. Fortunately, Li Qinyuan was beside her and helped her in time, and then did not let go. He held the person firmly, curled his eyebrows and asked Bailu. , "Well, how can you faint?"

"Sla, I don't know about it." Bai Lu said, "As soon as the slave delivered the things and wanted to come back, she saw the people in the second lady's room and called the doctor. Later, the old lady also asked the lady to go to the palace to ask for a doctor. Even if you are afraid of something wrong, you can't even ask, so I'll come back and say something.

Even the imperial doctor was dispatched, and that was obviously not a small problem.

Li Qinyuan glanced at Gu Wuyou and shook her hand, "Don't be afraid, we will go now." After that, he asked Bai Lu, "Let someone go set the car."

Gu Wuyou is really scared. Although the second sister is not healthy, she has never fainted, but in this short month, she has suffered two illnesses. If this continues, I am afraid...think of the result of the previous life. , Her whole heart was grabbed.

"How can this be? The second sister has always been calm and good-natured, why did she get sick again?"

Li Qinyuan had some vague guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure. He could only take her shoulders and walk outside with people while whispering to persuade: "Don't be afraid, the second sister, Ji, has a celestial phenomenon, and nothing will happen. "

The carriage is already set.

The two of them didn't delay either, and hurried to the direction of Dingguo Gongfu when they got into the car.

By the time Gu's family, Gu's situation had almost stabilized. Li Qinyuan was a foreigner who couldn't get into the house. Gu Wuyou asked people to go to the main hall first, and led Bailu to Gu's side. He just saw it when he entered. Gu Yu and the others were all there, pleased the grandmother and others. Looking at Gu Yu who was still asleep in the bed, his face turned pale again.

"Grandma, how about second sister?"

Mrs. Gu’s face was not as stable as before, sitting on the round pier in front of the bed, looking at Gu Yu on the bed, holding the Buddha beads in her hand, as if she was calming her heart, hearing Gu Wuyou’s words, Then he glanced back at her, and said hoarsely, "You are here."

"The doctor said, your second sister is fine."

Thinking of something, the same person said: "You are married, and Qi Lang loves you again, and there is no reason to rush back when there is something wrong with the family. Now that your second sister is all right, go back."

"grandmother……"

"Go back." Although Mrs. Gu said little on weekdays, if she said something, she always said one thing, "You all go down too."

Gu Wuyou still had to speak.

Gu Yu stepped forward, took her arm, and shook her head.

Gu Wuyou had no choice but to give a low voice, and followed Fu Jiang and the others to retreat. After they left, Mrs. Gu was still twisting the Buddhist beads and looking at Gu Yu on the bed, without looking back. Qiuyue, with her eyes on the side, said, "What the **** is going on?"

Qiuyue didn't dare to conceal it, sobbed: "I accompanied the young lady to the outside this morning, just passing by the Changping Princess Mansion. The young lady listened to some words, come back, come back..."

What can it be?

Left and right are just saying that Shen Shao and Princess Changping match well.

Old Mrs. Gu sighed and looked at Gu Yu who was still unconscious, and said in a mute voice: "It's...injustice!" The beads in her hand did not stop. She seemed to have made up her mind and said in a deep voice: "When she wakes up, You can go to Fengyang. Her grandmother handed in a letter earlier, and it happened that you also went there to relax. If there is nothing else to do in the future, you just don't come back again."

"This……"

Qiuyue hesitated, "I'm afraid that the young lady won't."

"Is it possible for her to stay in the capital, listening to the gossip of the screwdriver every day, and be the same as today? How many times can she withstand this body?" Mrs. Gu became angry for the first time and was so scared that Qiuyue knelt directly on the ground. , Sighed lightly, looked at Gu Yu and sighed: "Get up, when she wakes up, I will tell her in person."

"I used to be reluctant, thinking about Fengyang Road, but now I can't bear it anymore."

"I have sent her parents away, so I don't want to watch her go one step ahead of me."

"...Old lady." Qiuyue flushed her eyes.

Mrs. Gu shook her head and didn't say anything. She just looked at Gu Yu in silence, not knowing how long she had been sitting, before she got up and left.

By the time Gu Yu woke up, it was time to reach the middle of the moon. She slept for a day, her mouth was dry, her eyes were dry, and she whispered, "Water."

There was a slight movement in the room, and soon a cup of warm water was handed to his lips.

Gu Yu took a few sips and waited until his throat was moisturized before opening his eyes... There were only a few candles in the room, and the light was not too bright. I guess it was too bright and she couldn't sleep well.

But even so, she saw the figure beside the bed clearly.

The person didn't seem to expect that she would open her eyes so quickly. Before she could take back the hand that wiped the water stains on her lips, his eyes ran into Gu Yu, his slender fingers trembled slightly, Shen Shao pressed his lips, bowed his head and retracted Hand, and then said in a dumb voice: "I heard that you are sick, come and have a look."

Gu Yu looked at him, and after a moment of daze, he sighed softly, "You shouldn't have come."

Shen Shao pursed his lips, did not speak, and put the tea cup in his hand on the high table. Then he looked at her and said in a low voice: "I have asked the doctor, your illness is because of great compassion and great joy and instability. Suddenly fainted."

"Gu Yu,"

He said in a deep voice, "What is it that makes you feel unstable?"

No one answered.

Gu Yu just looked at him in silence.

Shen Shao didn’t seem to want her answer either. As soon as the previous words were over, he continued: “I originally thought that your illness was due to the Han family, but then the Han family left the capital, and you didn’t say anything. It can be seen that you are right. Han Ziqian's affection is just like that."

"Gu Ning, can you tell me why on earth did you become like this?" His eyes suddenly became brighter.

Gu Yu watched him remain silent for a while, and then said in a dumb voice: "Shen Shao, you are about to get married, you should care about Princess Changping, your future wife, not me."

Shen Shao suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "As I told you, I only need a word from you, I can abandon everything..." He stared at Gu Yu, unlike when facing outsiders. Invisible to the deep, his eyes are full of hope at this time, "Ah, say you love me."

"I just want a word from you."

In the dim light, Gu Yu seemed to be burned by the scorching heat in Shen Shao's eyes. Her heart was beating very fast. For a moment, she wanted to hug him desperately... and called him Yuqian brother as before.

But this thought was only for a moment. Gu Yu's two hands hidden in the quilt were tightly clenched, her sharp nails pressed against the flesh of her palms, and she awakened herself with such a tingling sensation.

As it was in the past.

"How many times have I told you, I don't love you."

Regardless of the sudden pain in his eyes, Gu Yu said coldly. She seemed to know how to leave Shen Shao speechless. At this time, she looked at him with cold eyes and said coldly, "Shen Shao, do you still want When will I torture me, you are already the imperial consort and will soon marry a wife. You are entangled with me now, if it spreads out, where do you put my reputation? And where do you want to put my family in?"

"There are several younger brothers and sisters under me who are not married. You keep saying that you love me, but have you considered for me and for my family?"

She said so much in one breath, staring at him straight, without a trace. When she finished speaking, she saw that the light in his eyes went out. She seemed unwilling to say a word to him again, turned her back and closed her eyes. , Began to drive people, "You go."

"I hope you think we have had a better life in the past, and don't bother me again in the future."

Shen Shao dropped his hands on both sides of his body, staring at the back with dull eyes, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be pinched, and he didn't know how long it took before he said in a dumb voice: "……sorry."

No one answered him, and that person seemed to fall asleep.

Shen Shao pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time. Then he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and put it on the bedside table, then got up and walked out... He was invited by the prince today, but the prince wanted to let him He and Changping met a few times before marriage to cultivate mutual affection.

But I knew that Gu was sick.

He didn't even have time to go to the banquet, so he hurried out of the palace, completely unable to care what others would think.

Even if he made the decision long ago and decided to let each other go, when he saw Gu Yu lying alone on the bed, Shen Shao's heart was uncomfortable. He thought, even if there is no answer, he can do everything. No, as long as she is willing to stay with him.

He even thought about it. He will go down with your Majesty tomorrow to make it clear that no matter how he wants to punish him, he will recognize it. Even if he loses everything he has, he doesn't care.

but……

Shen Shao stopped, turned his head and glanced behind him, there was a figure with his back facing him in the lilac-colored drapery. He raised the corners of his lips. He wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh... His Ah Ning is really amazing, forever Knowing how to squeeze his lifeline, making him hard to move.

There seemed to be blood in his throat.

He gritted his teeth, swallowed all the blood, put his hands on the door, and walked out without looking back.

Qiuyue just came over with the soup medicine, she was surprised when she saw Shen Shao walking outside the yard, and hurried to the house. Just when she wanted to question, she heard the depressed cry from the curtain... She bit He gritted his teeth, put down the tray in his hand, and went out directly following Shen Shao's steps.
