The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 423 Extra 14 Confrontation

Shen Qianchen smiled, his smile as bright as a flower, and he nodded matter-of-factly: "Indeed, those who wish will take the bait."

Under the candlelight, the girl's skin was rosy and delicate. The little candlelight falling on her long eyelashes shimmered like gold powder, making her pair of water-cut autumn eyes so clear and bright.

The girl is young and in full bloom, and does not need rouge or makeup. When she smiles like this, she has a bright brilliance as she looks around.

"Let's go fishing tomorrow." Shen Qianchen was aroused in fishing and suggested excitedly.

"Okay." Gu Jue nodded in agreement, and also smoothed her hair that was messed up when she took a nap.

Shen Qianchen smiled and boasted: "I am very good at fishing. Do you want to compete tomorrow?"

Her proud little look was exactly the same as Yueying's after catching a fish. Gu Jue looked at her, his eyes gentler and more caring than the spring breeze blowing through the flowers and leaves.

He gently scratched the tip of her nose with his finger and said with a joking smile: "What about the lottery?"

"The competition should be rewarding," Shen Qianchen rolled his eyes and said with a crooked face, "How about this? Whoever loses can make a whole fish feast for the other party, how about it?"

Gu Jue's expression suddenly became a little weird, he cleared his throat and said, "I dare to do it, do you dare to eat it?"

"..." Shen Qianchen was stunned and blinked.

Then, she laughed out loud again, uncontrollably, and a pair of shallow pear dimples appeared on her lips, as lovely as she wanted, as happy as she wanted.

Yes, her Jiuya is good at everything, both civil and military, proficient in music, and even proficient in some medical skills, but she is not good at cooking.

But his knife skills are good, and he can at least make a fish fillet, and the fillet must be thin and even.

The more Shen Qianchen thought about it, the happier he became. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into two thin crescents. He felt that his idea was great.

"It doesn't matter." Shen Qianchen said happily, "If you don't know it, I can teach you."

"You are so smart, you can definitely learn it!"

In order to eat the whole fish feast made by Gu Jue himself, Shen Qianchen's competitive spirit was aroused, and his eyes sparkled. Well, she has to go all out tomorrow to win.

Seeing that she was happy, Gu Jue was also happy. He ruffled her hair again and echoed seriously: "Yes, I'm so smart, I can definitely learn it! Besides, famous teachers make great disciples."

"That's right!" "Famous Teacher" Shen Qianchen laughed with joy.

The girl's silvery laughter spread out from the open window and was blown away by the night breeze outside...

The night is still long and everything is silent.

This night was much quieter than the previous nights. No one went hunting at night, no one went to wander in the garden, and even the hunting palace square with a bonfire burning was empty.

Everyone in the hunting palace panicked for a long time. When they saw that the Xuanjia army had stopped and nothing happened to them, they were relieved. Everyone went to bed early that night, and the lights in the palaces were also turned off early.

Early the next morning, the hunting palace became lively again.

Those ambitious young people continued to hunt in the hunting grounds with great interest. Most of them stayed in the hunting palace. They gathered together in twos and threes to discuss yesterday’s capture of the generals by the Xuanjia Army. Some people also talked about it with anticipation. Next year's Enko martial arts competition.

Everyone was talking so enthusiastically that they didn't even notice that a Hao man came quietly and then left quietly, returning to Lei Zeyuan in the southwest corner of the hunting palace, and reported the information they found to brother and sister Wu Helannan and Shaye.

There was no one else in the room at this time, so Shaye took off her veil, revealing a charming and charming face.

She poured the wine for her brother herself, and Wuhan Langnan raised his head and drank all the water and wine in the glass boldly, his brown eyes embedded in the deep eye sockets deep and sinister.

"This Gu Jue is indeed well-deserved. How can he be so ruthless in his actions!" Wu Helangnan said almost through gritted teeth, and put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table.

Sha Ye added wine to him while saying: "Gu Jue forced the palace to seize the throne, so he is naturally strong in dealing with others."

Saya couldn't help but think of her father Wuhaduluo. Wuhaduluo was a powerful man in the world. He was arrogant and powerful, domineering and killing people. He always said what he said and did not allow anyone to question his decisions, so when he asked her to follow the Three Emperors When her brother came to Daqi, she had no choice but to come no matter how unwilling she was.

Wu Helangnan picked up the wine glass again, played with it twice, and said with a frown: "With such a powerful new emperor in Da Qi, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

If the late emperor Gu Lang is now on the throne and Gu Jue is just King Chen, then for their Hao country, Gu Jue's strength and ambition are a good thing. Wu He Langnan is confident that their Hao country can reach a cooperation agreement with Gu Jue.

But Gu Jue actually ascended the throne, and now Wu He Langnan had to worry about whether Gu Jue would send troops to the Hao Kingdom after he secured the throne.

Judging from the news he had recently gathered, Gu Jue had just issued an order to recruit troops and planned to hold military examinations just after he ascended the throne. This was simply a sign of military aggression.

"Brother Three Emperors, what should we do next?" Sha Ye bit his lower lip slightly and asked softly.

"Take a step and take a look." Wu Helannan raised his head and drank half a glass of wine, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy.

The Hao Kingdom is still not at peace, and the two vassal kings of Jiaozhou and Haozhou have been unwilling to surrender to his father, Wuhaduluo. The longer this situation drags on, the more detrimental it will be to his father. Not long ago, his father had someone bring him a secret message, saying that someone had seen Wuhajia Tower appearing in Jiaozhou. If Wuhejialou is allowed to draw the two vassal kings over, the situation will only become more troublesome.

Wu Helangnan said in a deep voice: "In short, we must not return empty-handed. Father said that we must reach cooperation with Gu Jue."

Once they reach cooperation with Gu Jue, then the father will be able to send troops to the two states of Hao and Hao without any scruples, and the unification of the Hao state will be just around the corner. After the two states of Jiao and Hao surrendered, even if Wuhejialou grew three heads and six arms, he would no longer be able to make waves. He would remain a rebellious minister and a remnant of the late emperor for the rest of his life.

It was precisely because the cooperation with Gu Jue was so important that Wu Helangnan became more and more anxious and irritable, and the scene outside Chengguang Hall three days ago came to mind again.

He narrowed his eyes and said uneasily: "Shaye, do you think he believes it?"

Saya also took a sip of the wine, her full lips were slightly moist due to being stained by the wine, and they were as attractive as cherries.

She put down her wine glass and advised softly: "Third Emperor brother, please relax. With Gu Jue's shrewdness, he must know that Gu Lang secretly supports Uhagalou."

Last year, their uncle, the King of Andaman, sent an envoy to Daqi on behalf of his father, Emperor Uhadura. He originally wanted to exchange the marriage between the two countries for peace in the next few decades between Qi and Hao. Unexpectedly, Andaman would quietly Died in Daqi.

His death also allowed them to finally confirm that Gu Lang had no intention of marrying the Hao Kingdom, and even secretly supported Uhagalou.

Wu He Langnan unconsciously rubbed the edge of the wine glass with the pad of his index finger, thinking about this: Gu Lang was already dead, and was forced to death by Gu Jue, so Gu Jue would definitely not support Wu He again. Garuda.

Even if Gu Jue originally did not want to get involved in the struggle for power in the Hao Kingdom, now Wuhejialou has sent Yingyang Guards to "assassinate" him. Gu Jue's money and money must be compared, so it is impossible to let it go.

Thinking about it, Wuhan Langnan's mind settled, and his eyes shone with ambition.

In the past six months, the prince has been repeatedly reprimanded by his father, saying that he was indecisive and unworthy of being a prince. If he can make Qi and Hao cooperate, it will be a great achievement. His father will definitely remember him, and he may not be able to sit on the throne of the prince.

A relieved smile appeared on Wu He Langnan's lips. He picked up the jug and refilled Shaye's drink. He then said, "When I return to Beijing this autumn hunting trip, I will go see Gu Jue and test his intentions..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the house. Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Who are you...what do you want to do?!" "Our third prince has already taken a rest..."

"How dare you break in!"

No matter how many Nan Hao guards tried to stop him or howled, they could not stop the visitor.

Seven or eight tall and mighty Jin Yiwei rushed into the room aggressively, filling the originally spacious room to the brim.

The originally leisurely atmosphere in the room was instantly broken, and suddenly became oppressive and solemn.

The leader of the Jin Yiwei Commander Qian Shi smiled coldly, cupped his hands to Wu He Langnan and Sha Ye, and then extended his hand to make a petition: "Third Prince Wu He, Second Princess, Your Majesty invites you."

These Jin Yiwei didn't care about trespassing, and they looked like robbers with their unkind appearance.

Wuha Langnan: "..."

Shaye: "..."

Shaye had already covered herself with a veil before Jin Yiwei broke in. The veil covered her cheeks, mouth and nose, but could not block her frown.

Neither brother nor sister looked very good-looking.

However, they are now on Daqi's territory, and even if they are unwilling, there is no room for them to refuse.

It was better to be invited over than to be escorted to see Gu Jue.

After two cups of tea, the brother and sister came to Chengguang Hall again.

They were brought to the west side hall by the Jin Yiwei. The side hall was silent. Except for Gu Jue who was sitting by the window, there was a middle-aged man wearing a blue straight trousers kneeling on the ground with sweat.

Wu He Langnan and Sha Ye walked to the middle-aged man and saluted Gu Jue first.

Gu Jue didn't say a polite word and asked straight to the point: "Do you two recognize this person?"

Wu Helangnan glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling again, and saw that the man was about forty years old, with a dark-skinned Chinese character and an unshaven face. His eyes were wandering, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he could not hide his fear. and uneasiness.

Wuhan Langnan shook his head: "I don't know him."

Wu Helangnan was shocked and confused, wondering what kind of medicine Gu Jue was selling in the gourd.

Just as he was about to test a few words, there was another movement outside. A dozen Hao people were pushed in by a group of Jinyi guards.

"Kneel down!"

A Jin Yiwei kicked a certain Hao man's calf hard. The Hao man gasped in pain and knelt on the ground. Several other Hao men also knelt down.

"..." Wuhan Langnan's face became more and more ugly, so gloomy that he was about to drip with ink. Gu Jue said that he would take someone as soon as he said so, without giving Hao Guo any face at all. This was too deceiving and went too far!

The Jin Yiwei commander pointed at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground and asked the Hao people: "Do you recognize this person?"

Several Hao people looked at the middle-aged man, then turned to look at Wu He Langnan, with different expressions on their faces. Some people were confused, some were uneasy, and some had wandering eyes.

Wu Helangnan exchanged a look with one of the Hao people, and his heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Wu Helangnan also knew that he now represented the face of Hao Kingdom and could not show his cowardice. He stood proudly, stared into Gu Jue's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Da Qi, I am visiting your country on behalf of the Hao Kingdom. The two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys. Your Majesty, if you kill someone if you disagree with me today, it would be too disrespectful to me." Hao Guo takes it seriously!"

The people of the Central Plains have always prided themselves on being a country of etiquette. The emperor of the Central Plains has always been polite to foreign envoys and pays attention to the way of hospitality. How can anyone be as rude as Gu Jue? Gu Jue's behavior at the moment They are simply treating them as enemy countries!

The Hao people who were kneeling on the ground were all silent.

So, the commander of the Jinyi Guards asked the man in green who was kneeling on the ground: "Lu Linxiao, do you know any of these people?"

Lu Linxiao, who had been keeping his head down and not daring to move, finally started to move. He looked around at the Hao people and fixed his eyes on a lean Hao person in his twenties.

Lu Linxiao swallowed, raised his hand and pointed at the Haoren, and said with certainty: "That's him."

After a pause, he added: "On the third day of August, the villain sold him a prey distribution map."

Wuha Langnan: "..."

Shaye: "..."

Wu Helangnan pursed her thin lips tightly, and her heart suddenly sank.

They asked people to pretend to be Ying Yangwei just to make Gu Jue suspect Wu He Jia Lou. As long as Gu Jue hates Wu He Jia Lou, then he will naturally choose to cooperate with his father.

Just like what my father said, as long as both sides have a common enemy, they can naturally form an alliance.

However, Gu Jue actually found his own body through the prey distribution map!

The more Wuhan Langnan thought about it, the more frightened he became, clenching his fists tightly.

But Gu Jue was smiling, his thin lips curved into a curve that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and asked: "Is this person a follower of the Third Prince Wu He?"

"What kind of prey distribution map?" Wu Helangnan's eyes were uncertain, and he answered the question incorrectly, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding in this?"

Wu He Langnan turned to ask his entourage: "Jichuan, do you know this person?"

The attendant named Ji Chuan quickly shook his head and denied: "I don't recognize him." His body was tense and in an extremely nervous state.

Wu Helangnan's smile was a little stiff, and he saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be provoked."

He talked for a while, but Gu Jue was not moved at all, his lazy and leisurely look seemed like he was watching a play.

Wu Helangnan also understood that Gu Jue did not believe his words at all.

Now that Gu Jue has found the prey distribution map, he must also know that Ying Yangwei is framed by him!
