Chapter 127:

Everyone saw Qin Jiu's sudden departure, including Cheng's class on the stage.
The Cheng family members were a little at a loss, wondering if they should continue to sing the next show.
The concubine was almost mad.
It should be said that in today's tri-fold play, the concubine of the world has never felt comfortable and suffocated.
After another moment of silence, an old lady with gray hair comforted: "Don't worry about the concubine, the third lady will not stay in Xijiang anyway.
Others also echoed, saying a lot of good words.
However, no matter how much they said, the concubine didn't give up her hatred at all.
When the troupe sang another play, she was exhausted and left the Jiuyin Tower, leaving only the second wife, fourth wife and concubine Shisun to treat guests, even the noon table was useless.
There is no princess in the Duan Palace, and the concubine of the eldest son can't file a complaint with his father-in-law. They can only wait for Gu Chenzhi's return in the evening to file a complaint with Gu Chenzhi.
"Sir, my concubine has never seen such a shameless person!"
"The Qin family simply lost the face of Duanwangfu, why did the emperor point such a wild girl to the third brother?"
Concubine Shizi kept complaining to Gu Chenzhi, feeling extremely wronged.
Gu Chenzhi: "..."
Gu Chenzhi, who was sitting by the window, didn't look pretty either.
Since Gu Zezhi returned to Luo'an City, he has always felt uneasy, and a question has been circling in his heart
Why did Gu Zezhi come back?
So far, in the past few days, the couple has been traveling in and out of the city and has done nothing extraordinary.
Gu Zezhi looked the same as before, always pretending to be gentle and elegant, but his newlywed wife was extremely arrogant.
He didn't believe that they came back to be soft, he had never seen anyone so arrogant.
It's not really to make a cup of tea for the father! !
The concubine is still complaining: "Second son, the concubine is someone who even has a daughter-in-law, and she is about to become a grandmother, but she is beaten in public by such a wild girl. How can she convince the public in the future?"
Gu Chenzhi was impatient, but his tone was mild, and interrupted the concubine: "I asked you to inquire, have you inquired?"
Concubine: "..."
Concubine Shizi seemed to be pinched by her throat, her expression stiff, unable to speak, and she could not look directly into Gu Chenzhi's eyes.
Today, she specially entertained these ladies and invited Qin Jiu to listen to the play together. In fact, it was not that she really wanted to introduce Qin Jiu to these ladies, but because of the son's order, the son asked her to talk to Qin Jiu.
Originally, she was thinking about giving Qin Zhuo off the horse. Anyway, the time for the banquet is long. It is inevitable that the female family members will talk about the capital, and when it comes to the empress and the queen mother, she will always have the opportunity to talk. of.
As a result, as soon as Qin Jiao entered the Jiuyin Tower, he deliberately angered her and froze the situation.
Later, when she watched the show, she also put down her figure and wanted to test Qin Jiu, but Qin Jiu kept "oh oh" perfunctory to her, and even squeezed her with loquat again and again.
How could the concubine of the eldest son bear the idleness, so mad that she did not even take care of lunch, and she completely forgot what she had said.
One of Gu Chen looked at her expression and didn't know what was going on. His face instantly cooled down.
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, as if suddenly entering a dignified cold autumn.
"It's useless." Gu Chenzhi scolded coldly.
Concubine: "..."
The concubine shrank her body, her eyes worried, and she was thankful that she had driven all the people out in advance.
After being married for twenty years, she also knows a little about the son.
Although Shizi has always treated her well, she knew even better that Shizi couldn't get a grain of sand in his eyes.
Gu Chenzhi's right hand fisted, and he knocked on the coffee table several times anxiously.
His third brother is a cunning man. He tried several times, but he didn't get anything out of Gu Zezhi's mouth, so he moved his idea to Qin Jiu.
Judging from what happened on the day of the tea ceremony, Qin Jiu was self-willed and reckless. Otherwise, who would be so arrogant in the presence of so many relatives in the husband's family when they were toasting tea!
Therefore, he ordered the concubine Shizi to test Qin Jiao, but he didn't expect that the concubine Shizi was so useless, and he didn't get anything.
Seeing Gu Chenzhi's appearance, the concubine Shi Zi was even more disturbed, and said cautiously: "Second son, I will ask tomorrow... The custody will not miss the affairs of the son again."
The answer to her was silence.
Outside the window, the setting sun was drooping and was about to fall completely, and the sky to the west was red and bloody.
The concubine was afraid that Gu Chenzhi would be bored, so she was about to say something more, but Gu Chenzhi raised her hand to stop her.
"No need," Gu Chenzhi said solemnly.
Concubine: "..."
Gu Chenzhi's pupils seemed to be stained with the red of the setting sun, and he slowly said, "I got it wrong. The third siblings are also cunning."
"She is not impulsive."
Qin Jiu's actions in the Jiuyin Tower clearly suppressed the concubine Shizi on purpose, so that the concubine Shizi couldn't ask anything.
compare with……
Gu Chenzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glanced at Concubine Shizi quickly, and a touch of disgust passed in his pupils.
By comparison, this is stupid!
If it weren't for him to be a concubine, how could his father choose such a concubine for him?
Thinking of the past, Gu Chenzhi's eyes gradually darkened.
His gaze slowly moved to the right, looking towards Chao Huiyuan through the window.
Isn't it that Qin Jiu is just a girl raised in the countryside?
How could she have such insights? Could it be that Gu Zezhi taught her in advance?
The remembered Qin Jiu felt that his nose was a little itchy, rubbing his nose and facing Gu Zezhi behind him, affirmed: "It must be the concubine who is scolding me!"
Qin Jiu had also finished talking about Jiuyinlou with Gu Zezhi vividly.
She was in a good mood. She laughed so that she showed a neat row of jade teeth. She leaned back and leaned in Gu Zezhi's arms, and asked boastfully, "Am I great?"
Gu Zezhi: "Great."
Qin Jiu: "Then should you reward me?"
Gu Zezhi: "That."
Qin Jiu said with satisfaction: "Remember it first."
After a pause, she continued with the previous topic: "The concubine Shizi is engaged in such a big scene, what do you want to find out."
The concubine's intentions can be seen at a glance, otherwise, why would she bite the bullet to talk to herself.
Qin Jiu said: "No wonder my mother said that this concubine in this world is not worthy."
"She can inquire if she wants to inquire, and she has to give me a start, so how can I suffer?"
"Guess what did my mother tell me before coming to Xijiang?"
Before they set off for Xijiang, Mrs. Xiao specifically mentioned Qin Zhuo, including the concubine, second wife and other concubines.
"You can't suffer from anything you eat." Gu Zezhidao.
Qin Jiao laughed out loud with a "pouch", the laughter was crisp, "Moruozi Zhimu!"
After she had laughed enough, Gu Zezhi gently pushed her back down, she sat up straight again, and asked Gu Zezhi to braid her.
Living in this era, women have many inconveniences. For example, this long hair is one of them. The body is affected by the parents, so unless you have to, your hair cannot be cut.
She spends a lot of time combing her hair every morning. What's even more annoying is that the bun is topped on top of her head for a day. At night, she feels that her scalp hurts. The more hair she has, the more she suffers. Whenever it was dusk, she could not wait to remove her hair bun and braid it randomly.
Today's job was robbed by Gu Zezhi.
Qin Jiao looked at him through the Linghua mirror, sweet in his heart.
His fingers are slender, flexible and agile. No matter what he does, writing, playing chess, drawing, carving, making tea, etc., he is very pleasing to the eye. At this moment, he braided her with twists, and so on.
To be honest, it is better than her!
Qin Jiao snickered his mouth and asked, "Will she come to me again?"
Gu Zezhi braided her braid, and tied a purple silk ribbon around the end of her hair.
He raised his eyes and met Qin Jiao in the mirror, seeing the eagerness in her eyes, and shook his head, "No."
"..." Qin Jiu flattened his mouth and was disappointed. In fact, she thought it was quite fun.
Disappointment is only a flash.
Soon, she regained her spirit and asked, "Zezhi, where are we going to play tomorrow?"
The corners of Gu Zezhi's lips curled up, and a strange gleam flashed in the dark Phoenix eyes.
Knowing that he was like Qin Jiu, he knew it immediately, his eyes gleaming like gems, "Jin... what good idea do you have?"
Qin Jiu almost uttered the three words "golden thighs", and said inwardly that he was dangerous.
Gu Zezhi raised his right eyebrow, always feeling that this girl was weird.
Qin Jiu was a little guilty when he saw him. He stood up from the dressing table and said anxiously: "I will give it to you too..." Halfway through the conversation, she felt that it seemed wrong for her to braid him, so she changed her mouth again. , "Wash your hair!"
She thought it was a great idea. He combed her hair, and she washed him. It was a reward!
only--
After half an hour, she regretted it.
This idea is terrible, and she shouldn't have gone into the clean room with him.
The splashed water made her unable to face Du Ruo's subtle eyes.
Until the next morning, the floor of the clean room was still wet. Qin Jiu almost couldn't wait to pull Gu Zezhi out of the door. The two of them went out on horseback to play today. They left the West Gate and went all the way outside the city. Barracks.
"Luo'an City Camp is ahead?" Qin Jiao looked ahead with interest.
The sky-high camps are densely distributed at the foot of the mountain, ups and downs like waves, but they are scattered.
Luo'an City Camp is the stronghold of the Western Xinjiang army. It is heavily guarded. Two outposts are towering high, and the red flags are blown by the wind to hunt and hunt, adding a bit of killing.
Standing more than a hundred feet away, Qin Jiu felt an invisible pressure.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes from behind, getting closer and closer, accompanied by the man's surprised voice: "Third brother, third sibling."
Gu Zezhi turned the horse's head slowly, raised his eyes to meet Gu Chenzhi's four eyes, who was five or six feet away, and nodded slightly: "The son."
Gu Chenzhi, wearing a black cloak, was riding on a black horse. His black cloak made him pale. Of course he didn't come alone, and there were four royal guards behind him.
Gu Chenzhi put his fist on his lips, coughed lightly, and greeted with a smile: "Third brother, are you taking your third younger siblings out to relax?"
He looked at Gu Zezhi with a gentle smile, but his heart was full of guard.
Gu Zezhi smiled slightly and said dozingly: "I'm afraid she will be bored in the palace."
He looked considerate and smiled at Qin Jiao.
The couple looked at each other with tenderness and tacit understanding.
The head guard behind Gu Chenzhi watched this scene with disdain.
Gu Chen looked at Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu, and the curvature of his lips deepened. He was more than a round bigger than Gu Zezhi, and he could almost be his father. He had the maturity and stability of his eldest brother.
He reminded him instructively: "The third brother, the third brother and sister are women, so they cannot enter the military camp."
Gu Zezhi explained: "Shizi, we just stopped here."
"Cough cough." Gu Chenzhi coughed several times, making his face flushed.
Gu Zezhi asked with concern: "Is Shi Zi recently caught the wind and cold?"
"You must take care of yourself, but can't something happen?"
"Father King said, the son is the backbone of Xijiang."
Gu Zezhi spoke sincerely.
If these words hadn't come from Gu Zezhi, Gu Chenzhi would have believed it. But now he only feels that Gu Zezhi seems to have something in his words, how uncomfortable it is to listen.
Gu Zezhi didn't say much, but he bowed his hand to Gu Chenzhi, "My son, let's leave first."
After Gu Zezhi was gone, Qin Jiao was naturally a husband and wife, and didn't even talk to Gu Chenzhi from beginning to end, as if she was not the one who made the concubine so angry yesterday.
The couple rode their horses away, and the oncoming spring breeze blew their cloaks and danced with the wind, which was a bit sassy.
Gu Chenzhi stared at Gu Zezhi's away back, and his intention became even more unpredictable.
Of course he would not believe that Gu Zezhi came here by the way. There are no green mountains, green waters, no temples and Taoist temples around here. What are they doing here? Is it blowing sand?
Gu Zezhi came for the military camp, and pretended to take Qin Jiao with him.
Was it because he was there that he didn't enter; if he didn't come today, would he have entered the barracks?
Gu Chenzhi's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his eyes grew darker and darker.
His throat was itchy, and he coughed again after covering his mouth with a veil.
"Cough cough cough..."
This time, he coughed so hard that he couldn't control himself.
When he removed the veil, his pupils shrank and found a puddle of red blood on the veil.
"Sir, you are unwell. Why..." The chief guard looked at Gu Chenzhi worriedly.
Gu Chenzhi has been infected with the cold for more than half a month. Perhaps because of overwork, the cold has not been cured.
"I'm okay." Gu Chenzhi interrupted the chief guard and changed the conversation. "Father is coming to the barracks today?"
The head guard nodded and said, "Yes."
Gu Chenzhi's eyes flickered, looking towards the direction of the barracks, and at the same time, calmly pinched the blood-stained veil in his hand.
In the past few months, his body has been deteriorating. It is just a small wind and cold that has not healed for a long time. He has looked for a lot of doctors before, and they all said that he is healthy, but he is too laborious. The prescriptions are also very common. They are all prescriptions for treating wind-cold, nourishing qi and blood, and eating it does not help at all.
Since Gu Zezhi came back, he almost didn't sleep well every night, and his body was getting worse.
He has to find another famous doctor in private and take a look...
As one of Gu Chen thought, he turned his horse's head and continued to gallop towards the barracks.
The chief guard and the other guards followed Gu Chenzhi into the barracks, running counter to Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu.
On the other end, Qin Jiu also heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and looked back at the barracks.
Obviously there is no one else around, she still lowered her voice subconsciously: "Is this to scare him on purpose?"
There was an enthusiastic smile on her face, like a child who had succeeded in a mischief. The brilliant smile revealed a fox-like cunning, which made that beautiful little face more agile.
Gu Zezhi didn't even look back. He rode his horse leisurely and continued to move forward, saying: "Suspicious people will think more. The more you think, the more you think about it, the more you think."
"Nine Hexiang among him should also have an attack..."
Gu Zezhi's smile was like a spring breeze, but his thin lips were cold and indifferent.
This person is so bad! Qin Jiao understood it, and was too lazy to sympathize with Gu Chenzhi.
Considering that Mrs. Xiao died unclearly in the novel, and Gu Zezhi carried the name of killing his father and mother on his back. Qin Jiu felt that Gu Chenzhi had died a hundred times before.
Since Gu Chenzhi is seeking his own way of death, don't blame Gu Zezhi for hiding him behind his back.
Qin Jiu pulled the horse rope to let the horse be closer to Gu Zezhi's side, "Where shall we go next?"
Gu Zezhi didn't speak, and extended a hand to her. Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and handed his right hand to him...
In the next moment, she only felt that her right upper arm was tight, and her waist was wrapped by his other hand, and then her body was lightened, and she was so easily dragged by Gu Zezhi from her horse to him.
Qin Jiu didn't even have time to exclaim, and his back had hit his chest firmly.
His warm breath surrounds her whole.
Qin Jiu felt like he was riding a roller coaster, and his heart fell again and again, still a little bit frightened.
"It scared me out of my heart disease, will you pay it?" She couldn't help but vomit.
"Compensate." His voice with a smile came from his ear, soft and sweet.
She could clearly feel his chest shaking slightly, and her heart softened.
She relaxed quickly and asked in a low voice, "Someone is following?"
"It's okay," he said lowly, and kissed her.
Qin Jiu let out an "Oh" and leaned lazily on his chest.
If you want to follow it, she doesn't mind showing off her affection.
The two of them rode a horse together and rode them leisurely.
In the next few days, Qin Jiu found that there were more people staring at them. When she was in the palace, no matter where she went, there were a lot of maids and women who followed. Even when she was feeding a fish in the pavilion, she could watch. To the woman who cleaned the duckweed;
After leaving the house, although she couldn't find out, she could ask Gu Zezhi. Gu Zezhi could tell her with his eyes or the small gestures of squeezing her hair and pinching her palms that she was right.
Gu Zezhi didn't care about being followed.
He doesn't care, and she doesn't care.
The two of them went out to play and go shopping in the lake every day. Every day they brought things to the palace with large bags and carts. They had a good time and bought them.
From time to time, Gu Zezhi deliberately wandered in front of Gu Chenzhi.
In just three days, Qin Jiu "ran into" Gu Chenzhi three times, no, four times. She obviously noticed that Gu Chenzhi's face became paler, and her cheeks were slightly sunken in, and the eye sockets were deeply covered. Qingying.
Qin Jiu was very happy watching the theater, whether she was outside the palace or in the palace, her life was very leisurely and comfortable.
After she repeatedly slapped the concubine in the face, the concubines and girls in the palace were all afraid of her. Even if Gu Zezhi was not there, everyone in the palace was honest, or it should be said that they avoided her for fear. Not late, for fear that if you say a few more words with her, your concubine will be angry with them.
In this regard, Qin Zhuo was very happy, and she didn't bother to socialize with these ghosts.
Eat and drink every day to see if the notebook is not fragrant?
Anyway, Qin Jiu knew that she and Gu Zezhi were staying in Luo'an City for a short time, so there was no need to cultivate any feelings deliberately, as long as they didn't come to provoke her.
After walking for a few more days, Gu Zezhi bid farewell to King Duan on March 23.
"Is it going to leave now?" Duan Wang thought that Gu Zezhi would leave in less than ten days after returning, a little reluctant.
The sky was clear and blue outside, and the sun shone mottled spots of light through the lush foliage and rhombic windows.
Gu Zezhi said: "Father, there may be changes in Yuzhou in the near future. I'd better return to Beijing earlier."
King Duan couldn't help thinking of Dongping Bo Fang Yuande, who had returned to Yuzhou a few days ago, with a solemn expression and nodding: "It's okay, lest there will be changes if you are too late."
After speaking, he felt uneasy, and said: "Zezhi, this king has allocated a thousand people to take you back."
Although Yuzhou is not on the only way from the west to the capital, if the king of Yu deliberately intercepts Gu Zezhi, he only needs to enter the territory of Jinzhou from Yuzhou. To put it more realistically, this road is a long way, and the king of Yu wants to get on his mobile phone. There are too many.
Gu Zezhi accepted King Duan's kindness and asked with concern: "Father, is there enough forage soldiers?"
"Don't worry, there hasn't been any major war in Xijiang recently. At most, some barbarians have sporadically attacked the border, which is not a problem." Gu Zezhi is about to return to Beijing anyway. It is impossible to intervene in the military affairs of the Western Army. I told him a little bit, let him rest assured.
"I think that Xidi was a major disaster in Western Xinjiang. Years of battles have damaged many veterans in the army, so that the lieutenant generals were not able to pick up."
"In the past two years, Xijiang has gradually slowed down, and those young teenagers can hold up the sky one by one, like the youngest member of Li Qing's family is not bad..."
Gu Zezhi moved his eyebrows, "Are you talking about Li Hao who stripped people naked and hung them on the wall?"
Duan Wang thought of something, laughed, and said: "It's him!"
"This king remembers that this was a ridiculous thing he did when he was fifteen?"
"This makes a man not to be frivolous and vain! He is different now. In the previous examination in the Celestial Army, he won the first name among the three hundred rank 6 or higher soldiers, and he was personally rewarded by the king."
Thinking of the scenes in the Japanese military camp, King Duan seemed to be infected with a bit of blood, proudly said: "If the king of Yu really has the heart to be unruly and dare to move, the western border is located behind Yuzhou, and it will outflank the court by then. It can make King Yu suffer a big loss."
"Zezhi, here are my king and my son, don't worry." Duan Wang patted Gu Zezhi's shoulder boldly and asked, "When are you going to leave?"
Gu Zezhi: "Three days later."
"This is too anxious. You always have to ask your wife to take care of things and bring some special products back." The king of Yu made up his mind for Gu Zezhi, "You stay for two more days."
Gu Zezhi moved his eyebrows, and said with a bit of joking: "My father will stay with me for a few more days. Will my son be unhappy?"
"How come!" Duan Wang said without thinking.
After finishing speaking, King Duan frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Zezhi's misunderstanding of the son was too deep.
Gu Zezhi said again: "Father, I don't want the son to misunderstand anything. Father still should not mention this to the son..."
Duan Wang originally wanted to say a few more words to try to resolve the misunderstanding between their brothers, but after listening to Gu Zezhi's words, thinking that more is worse than less, he nodded and said: "It's just what you want."
Thinking that the three sons and three daughters-in-law were about to leave, Duan Wang felt reluctant to leave, and then thought of the princess, saying: "Zezhi, your mother and concubine are not in good health. There are many precious medicinal materials in the house. Let the steward open the warehouse, and you let your wife pick it."
Gu Zezhi responded with a smile.
King Duan was afraid of his son being stubborn and refused to ask for his own things. Seeing that he agreed, he felt better.
When Gu Chenzhi came in, he saw the father and son enjoying themselves.
