LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 40
Chapter 39
“Don’t you want to?” Gu Yun’s silence made Jiang Libai feel a little uncomfortable, she murmured: “Don’t worry… I have already studied and prepared, so I won’t make you uncomfortable.”
Gu Yunmoran, this is not a matter of worrying about feeling uncomfortable…
Seeing the high spirits of the princess, she didn’t want to let the princess down. But now, in such a situation where we can’t help ourselves, it’s not a good time to confess.
She sighed softly and asked in a low voice, “Princess, what if…”
Before Gu Yun finished speaking, Jiang Libai closed her eyes and interrupted: “Hmph! Forget it, if you are afraid, forget it.”
Then he muttered in a low voice: “Just saved my energy.”
The girl’s tone was muffled, which made Gu Yun’s heart choked up.
“Princess, if one day you find out that I have cheated on you, what will you do?”
In the dark room, it was very quiet, Jiang Libai heard this low whisper clearly.
“You lied to me?” At this moment, she thought a lot in her mind, even thinking about whether Gu Yun didn’t really like her, “Gu Yun, do you not like me, or are you just Fear?”
She thought, maybe Gu Yun had never experienced it before, and she was just panicking.
The soft body under the blanket was already stiff, and she dared not move. This made Jiang Libai even more sure.
She touched Gu Yun’s arm, and said softly: “Okay, okay, it’s so late, let’s sleep well.”
After finishing speaking, she didn’t look at Gu Yun any more, and lay flat on the bed silently.
It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed and sad.
Now she doesn’t know if Gu Yun really likes her, and she doesn’t know what she lied to her, but she doesn’t dare to think about it, so she just pretends that Gu Yun is just afraid.
In the dead of night.
Full of uneasiness and frustration, Jiang Libai slowly fell asleep.
Hearing the sound of steady breathing around him, Gu Yun didn’t dare to approach again.
Yixing felt Gu Yun’s emotional ups and downs, and it whispered: “General, you might as well tell the princess the truth directly. Before the princess gets deeper and deeper, after you tell her, she won’t be too serious. It’s too uncomfortable. And maybe if you coax her better, she can accept it…”
In the thick night, Gu Yun sighed softly, “The interstellar world is too far away, and the difference between alpha and oga is difficult to explain, so the princess may not understand…I’m afraid she will think I’m a monster, be afraid of me, and reject me , never talk to me again.”
Yixing understands Gu Yun’s concerns, but as a bystander, it can see it more clearly.
“General! In the past, you were vigorous and resolute in wars, and you said what you said. When will you become worried about gains and losses because of emotional matters, and hesitate?”
It wants to get Gu Yun out of the dead end, and it is a little more serious: “According to the princess’s temperament, even if she can’t understand, as long as you tell her well, she won’t really reject you. But if you keep procrastinating like this So, immersed in this false warmth, until one day when the princess can no longer leave you, the truth is suddenly exposed, then how do you let the princess deal with herself? Wouldn’t she suffer even more pain then? “
In this case, it was almost impossible to say “General, you are so confused, you don’t consider the princess’ feelings at all”.
Although he didn’t say it clearly, Gu Yun also understood it.
Sensing her violent mood swings, Yixing sighed and said, “Why don’t you confess to her, General, after the princess gives birth safely.”
At this time, the seventh princess was almost five months pregnant, and the child would be born in about four or five months.
No matter in the ancient times ten thousand years ago or in the interstellar world ten thousand years later, it is extremely important for a woman to give birth to a child, and she cannot be stimulated by anything.
So it would be better if the princess waited for the princess to give birth safely before confessing.
Gu Yun closed his eyes, and finally made up his mind: “Okay, after the child is born, I will make it clear to the princess.” At that time, even if the princess can’t accept it, she won’t be hurt by being frightened.
body.
If the princess thought she was a monster and wanted to make peace with her no matter what, then she…she wouldn’t force it.
The beautiful night began when the two lay down happily together, and finally ended slowly in the sad atmosphere where the two had their own concerns.
…
Just after the new year, the interrogation of Uncle Anyang’s family, who was locked in the prison, has yielded results.
Inside Qianming Hall.
“…Uncle Anyang and the crown prince were tortured and killed, and no one instructed them behind their backs. They slandered the seventh son-in-law just because you, the emperor…”
Li Chong hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the emperor was not in danger, he continued: “Because before, the emperor, you chose the son-in-law for Princess Jianing in private, but in the end Princess Jianing’s son-in-law changed. It was hard to accept, so I wanted to tarnish the reputation of the son-in-law and let the princess make peace with him…”
“In addition to Yun’s death, Zhou Yan’s death is also related to Zhou Ran… According to the information found, since the incident in the suburbs of Beijing last year, Zhou Yan has been insane, and occasionally very manic and hurtful. “
Li Chong first handed in the collected testimony, “The son of Uncle Anyang didn’t like his younger brother at all, and felt that he had insulted the reputation of Uncle Anyang’s mansion, so he secretly drugged him and let him die of poisoning bit by bit. In the end, he will use his death to frame the seventh son-in-law.”
With a calm face, Emperor Yu looked at a few pieces of rice paper and a small package of things on the table.
“These are all revealed by the servant next to Shizi, and those are the dregs left after Zhou Ran drank the medicine.” Li Zhong first introduced.
After reading all the evidence, Emperor Yu went straight to the point and asked: “It’s all clear, so the Yan family was also ordered by the Anyang uncle’s mansion?”
Just now Li Chongxian said so much, but he didn’t mention Yan’s slander, I’m afraid this matter still needs to be discussed.
“If you go back to the emperor, the people in Uncle Anyang’s mansion only recruited these, and they didn’t recognize the matter of Mrs. Yan.” This is also where Li Chongxian is extremely troubled.
Although Yan Qiaoer bit her to death and said that the people in the Uncle Anyang’s mansion instructed her, there was also money received as evidence. But the people in Uncle Anyang’s Mansion didn’t admit it, they just said that they thought that Yan Qiao’er had really seen Gu Yun’s witchcraft, and thought that God would help them!
Emperor Yu’s expression remained unchanged, and he asked again: “What about the assassination that night the son-in-law was imprisoned?”
After saying this, an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, “I have entrusted you to investigate this matter for a long time, but you have not found any results. Now the Anyang Bo’s mansion has been locked up, you Has there been any progress?”
Cold sweat broke out on Li Zhongxian’s forehead, and he quickly knelt on the ground: “I want to report to the emperor, this humble minister is really incompetent, I can’t find out who is going to assassinate the son-in-law.”
“Uncle Anyang and the son-in-law have never acknowledged this matter. They said that they never had the idea of killing the son-in-law. They only wanted to make Princess Jianing and the son-in-law reconcile…”
Seeing that Li Chongxian didn’t put this matter in Uncle Anyang’s mansion in a panic, Emperor Yu looked at him calmly: “Okay, your Ministry of Punishment will put this matter on hold.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!” Li Chong quickly thanked him.
…
At the end of the first lunar month, the Anyang Bofu’s intention to slander the Seven Consorts finally came to fruition.
The emperor decreed that Uncle Anyang and his son Zhou Ran murdered people, involved witchcraft, were disrespectful to the royal family, and plotted wrongdoing. Then he was stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, and beheaded in public at the gate of the vegetable market three days later. The rest of the family members were sold into slavery, the men were exiled for thousands of miles, and the women were sent to Jiaofangsi, where they would never leave.
Under the power of the emperor’s thunder, everyone feels sorry for each other.
I dare not discuss this matter in public.
…
As soon as the first month passed, spring gradually began, and the weather began to become slightly warmer.
Inside Princess Jianing’s mansion.
Jiang Libai, who hadn’t moved for a long time, looked at the bright sky outside the window, and saw that a little green had begun to emerge on the dry branches in the yard, and the depression for many days dissipated a little. She helped Chunxi and walked out slowly.
“what is she doing?”
Ever since she and Gu Yun “broke up unhappy” that night, she used the pretext of being pregnant to drive Gu Yun to a side room to rest alone.
every day
avoid her as much as possible.
Counting the days, they haven’t seen each other very well for a month.
Looking at Jiang Libai’s expression, Chun Xi naturally knew who she was asking, “My son-in-law is still walking in the garden as usual, playing with that parrot.”
Speaking of which, the parrot and the son-in-law are quite destined.
Previously, she revealed the false news that Yunyan was not pregnant for the son-in-law, and then followed the son-in-law back to their house, and stayed with the son-in-law all day long.
Those who didn’t know saw it, and thought that parrot was the wife of the son-in-law…
The weather was fine, Jiang Libai supported her swollen belly, and said lightly: “I don’t know if the flowers in the garden are blooming, why don’t you come with me to have a look?”
Chunxi rolled her eyes and grinned quickly, “Okay! It just so happens that the slaves haven’t gone to enjoy the scenery for quite a while!”
There are no clouds today, and the faint sunshine has let down, adding a bit of spring comfort to the scenery in the garden.
There is a small pavilion beside the patchwork pond.
Gu Yun nestled in the reclining chair, exuding a lazy charm. She grabbed the bird food and put it near the white-feathered parrot’s beak, and said lazily, “It’s only been a month, and you’ve gotten fat from eating it.” As she spoke, she touched its feathers again.
I don’t know what happened, but since Yixing invaded the parrot’s brain, the parrot’s IQ has improved a bit, and it has become very dependent and close to Gu Yun.
The parrot knew that Gu Yun was saying that it was fat, so it shook its wings to express its dissatisfaction, and then opened its mouth and yelled, “Not fat! Not fat!”
Gu Yun laughed and looked at it: “Your body is full of meat, isn’t it fat?”
When one person and one bird came and went, Jiang Libai walked over holding Chunxi’s hand.
Before approaching the pavilion, I heard Gu Yun’s voice mixed with pleasure. She paused, feeling a little dazed. How long has it been since she heard Gu Yun’s voice?
The sound of gentle footsteps came, and Gu Yun turned his head to look.
The Seventh Princess, who was dressed in bright yellow palace attire, walked towards the pavilion. Her face was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
Gu Yun straightened up, stood up from the reclining chair, put down the bird food in his hand, and came to Princess Seven: “Why did the princess come out?”
“What? Can’t I come here?” Jiang Libai brushed away Gu Yun’s hand, a little disgusted: “Dirty ones, don’t touch Bengong.”
With that said, she came to the pavilion, glanced at the parrot that tilted its head to look at her, and then sat on another deck chair casually.
No one spoke again, and the pavilion was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Yixing saw that relying on the general would not work, so he decided to be an assist.
It invaded the parrot’s brain again.
“Madam! Madam!” The white jade parrot flapped its wings and called out to Princess Seven.
Jiang Libai was a little surprised, is this parrot talking to her? !
“Ma’am!” The parrot tilted its head and screamed strangely: “My son-in-law! I miss you! I miss you!”
The words were intermittent and thoughtless, but Jiang Libai understood what it was talking about right away.
Gu Yun… miss her?
An indescribable feeling surged in Jiang Libai’s heart, and she quietly glanced at Gu Yun next to her, but just as she looked over, she bumped into her long and narrow eyes.
It’s been a long time since I looked at her carefully, and Jiang Libai realized that Gu Yun seemed to be a little fatter than before.
She used to have thin cheeks, and although she was full of youth, she sometimes looked weaker.
But now with a little flesh on his face, he looks more energetic.
The skin is delicate, the cheeks are light pink, like soft clouds in the sky.
Calling Jiang Libai almost couldn’t move his eyes.
“Why don’t you sit down?”
Seeing that Gu Yun was still standing there like a straight pillar, Jiang Libai pointed to the recliner next to her, “Sit down.”
Gu Yun lifted his robe and sat next to Princess Seven.
“You’re doing it like this, it’s like I’m going to eat you.” The familiar scent of agarwood came over, and Jiang Libai felt it in his heart.
I can’t help being happy all the time.
She thought, hiding from Gu Yun these days, she still misses her in her heart.
Gu Yun wiped his hands, poured a cup of warm water for Seventh Princess, and handed it to her: “The cold weather has not passed yet, so the princess should not stay outside for too long.”
Her eyes stayed on Seventh Princess’s swollen abdomen for a moment, then moved away silently.
I don’t know why, when Jiang Libai heard Gu Yun’s words, she always felt that she was driving her away, as if… she didn’t want to see her.
She bit her lip, and the corners of her eyes and brows were sullen: “It’s spring, I can’t come out and walk around?”
Gu Yun: “???”
Did she offend the seventh princess again? !
“No, I didn’t mean that.” She hurriedly explained: “It’s cold, I’m worried that the princess will catch cold, not that I don’t want the princess to go out.”
Is this the intuition of someone who has never been in a relationship? ! Yixing couldn’t help but want to cover his eyes. It simply looked down on the slowness of its general, and simply continued to help her: “Go back to the house together! Go back to the house together!”
The parrot next to him chirped again, breaking the stagnant atmosphere between the two.
Gu Yun glanced at the parrot looking around with its neck stretched, got up, and came to Jiang Libai’s side, “Princess, it’s windy now, why don’t you go back to the house to avoid it?”
Looking at the outstretched hand, Jiang Libai felt a little awkward.
She just attacked Gu Yun just now, and now she is going to hold hands with her, so wouldn’t she be very embarrassed?
“If I don’t go back, I will enjoy the scenery here.” She lifted her chin lightly, ignoring Gu Yun’s hand that wanted to help her.
Hearing this, Gu Yun could only rely on her.
Although the spring breeze blew across the greenery, it was only early spring, and there was still a bit of biting chill in the wind.
Gu Yun was afraid that the seventh princess would catch the cold, so he took off the cloak on his body and covered the seventh princess tightly.
Jiang Libai, whose whole body was exposed with only one face outside: “…” Does she really look so weak? To cover it so tightly? !
But she didn’t want to talk to Gu Yun now, so she endured it silently.
Said that he came to enjoy the scenery, Jiang Libai raised his eyes to appreciate the not so obvious spring scenery around him.
The thick snow that had accumulated before had completely melted, and a little greenness gradually appeared on the ground, and when it was illuminated by the warm spring light, it exuded the verdant greenness that belongs to the spring day.
Jiang Libai felt better for no reason.
She half-closed her eyes and yawned as she watched.
In the past month, in fact, she hasn’t slept well.
At this moment, Gu Yun was beside her, and that light breath slowly lingered around her, and she felt a little drowsy.
After a while, Jiang Libai closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady.
It seems that he is fast asleep.
Gu Yun got up slowly, came to her side, bent down and hugged her.
The girl slept soundly, and automatically found a comfortable position in her arms, and after smashing her mouth, she fell asleep completely.
She is slightly heavier than before.
Fortunately, Gu Yun has been strengthening his body during this time, so it doesn’t take much effort to hug her.
She walked out of the pavilion, turned her head and asked Chunxi in a low voice: “Did the princess not sleep well last night?” The seventh princess was not so lethargic before, why did she fall asleep just after noon now?
Chun Xi followed behind them, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: “I will not hide this from you, but the princess has not slept well during the time she has been separated from you. In the middle of the night, she would always wake up with a start…”
Hearing this, Gu Yun felt very uncomfortable.
She hugged Jiang Libai tightly, returned to the bedroom, and put her on the bed very gently.
After taking off the cloak, taking off her shoes, and untiing her outer skirt, Gu Yun pulled the quilt to cover her body.
She wanted to put the coat she took off on the clothes rail, but she found that Princess Seven’s little hands were tightly pulling her cuffs.
She threw her clothes at the end of the bed, sat by the bed, and stayed with her all the time.
When Jiang Libai woke up, it was almost evening.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and realized that her right hand seemed to be pressed by something. She looked over there, and there was a vague figure lying on her right.
Her eyes widened suddenly.
After seeing this person’s face clearly, she stopped her movements and quietly looked at her profile.
Gu Yun’s skin is extremely delicate, and it is fairer than ordinary people. It looks like the skin of a delicate woman.
But her eyebrows are slightly longer than those of ordinary women, and the bridge of her nose is relatively straight. Coupled with her thin pink lips, she looks more heroic and cold than other women.
Jiang Libai looked at her for a long time, and always felt that she couldn’t get enough of her.
She stretched out her left hand, wanting to touch the tip of Gu Yun’s upright nose, but before she touched it, she saw her crow’s feathers quivering slightly, as if she was about to wake up.
She hastily withdrew her hand.
As soon as Gu Yun opened his eyes, he saw Seventh Princess staring at her with big wet eyes.
She breathed lightly on her face, her mind moved slightly, her throat tightened, “What time is it now?”
“I didn’t notice, it seems to be getting dark soon.” Jiang Libai stared at her thin lips that opened and closed, always felt that there was a lazy and seductive taste in her voice just after waking up, and her heart was itchy… Some want to kiss …
Speaking of which, she and Gu Yun haven’t kissed and hugged for a month.
She kind of misses it.
Seeing Jiang Libai sticking out the tip of her tongue, Gu Yun licked the corner of her mouth involuntarily, her eyes suddenly became darker.
“Princess.” She lowered her voice, “Are you hungry now?”
Jiang Libai shook her head, and replied honestly: “I’m not hungry yet.”
“Then can I kiss you now?” Gu Yun put his arms around her waist, avoided her stomach, and looked at her, “Can I?”
Her eyes were full of fire, although Jiang Libai wanted to kiss her very much, to feel the warmth of her embrace and the sweetness of her mouth.
But she still remembers it! They haven’t reconciled yet!
So she has to hold back, don’t be fooled by Gu Yun’s sweet words!
“I don’t want it anymore…” She turned her face away and said in a moaning voice, “You don’t want to make out with me, so you better not mess with me.”
have to! Back to this question again!
Gu Yun had a headache for a while, and all the charming thoughts disappeared.
Seeing that she was silent again, Jiang Libai snorted softly and pushed her away, “Get out of the way, I’m going to get up for dinner.”
Gu Yun had no choice but to let the Seventh Princess get out of bed.
She also jumped out of bed and wanted to dress the seventh princess, but she refused.
She could only stand by the side helplessly, silently watching her put on her dress and cloak, and turned around to leave the room.
“…General.” Yixing couldn’t understand, “The princess is obviously angry with you, why don’t you coax her?”
How to coax this? !
Gu Yun rubbed his eyebrows.
What the seventh princess wants is for them to be honest, but she has to wait until the seventh princess gives birth before she can confess.
To coax her now, wouldn’t that be teasing her on purpose?
So after she said that she wanted to kiss the princess just now, she regretted it a little.
Now, she shouldn’t tease the seventh princess.
At least until she can really accept herself, then she can…
…
Days passed, and near the end of spring, a secret message was delivered to Emperor Yu.
In the quiet Qianming Hall, Emperor Yu finished reading the secret letter, then lit it expressionlessly, and burned it to ashes.
Closing his eyes, he rubbed the center of his brows, and called Eunuch Sun, the personal manager, to come in, “Did the imperial concubine make some refreshments?”
Eunuch Sun bent over and said with a smile: “That’s right. The imperial concubine and empress have made some refreshments, and I just came here to invite the emperor to have a taste!”
“Then let’s drive to the Changchun Palace.” Emperor Yu left the memorial on the table, got up and walked out of the Qianming Palace.
When they came to Changchun Palace, Emperor Yu waved everyone away and sat beside Concubine Yuan Gui.
His brows were furrowed all the time, as if he was very bored.
“Just now Li Chong sent the news first.”
Concubine Yuan Gui poured him a cup of tea, “Is it related to Uncle Anyang’s Mansion?”
Although the Anyang Bo’s mansion has been taken care of, the two of them always knew that there must be someone behind the Anyang Bo’s mansion.
However, the emperor meant that he didn’t want to make a big move at this time.
“Yes.” Emperor Yu’s tone was indifferent: “Li Chongxian’s people have been secretly investigating Uncle Anyang’s mansion for a long time, and only found a secret room in the basement of Uncle Anyang’s study last night.”
“There are letters between Uncle Anyang and King Rong.”
Prince Rong is the Second Prince Jiang Shen.
Concubine Yuan Gui knew that the emperor was unhappy, so she stretched out her hand to caress his back, “Then the Anyang uncle’s mansion slandered the concubine of Jianing before…was King Rong instigated it behind his back?”
Emperor Yu shook his head: “Those letters did not explicitly mention this matter.” Speaking of this, his eyes turned cold: “But it probably has something to do with King Rong.”
Otherwise, with the lame reason of the Uncle Anyang’s House, they wouldn’t have framed a royal son-in-law like that.
It can only be said that King Rong was too impatient to dare to use such a clumsy trick!
Concubine Yuan Gui naturally knew what the Second Prince wanted. She was helpless and in pain, “Then Jianing lost her virginity before…was it also related to King Rong?”
“There was no mention of this in the letter.” Emperor Yu took Concubine Yuan Gui’s hand and patted it lightly: “Don’t forget, besides King Rong, King Rui is already weaker.” So although the third prince has been fine The appearance of scheming, but he can not be ignored.
As long as it is a prince, there is probably no one who is not tempted by the throne.
“I will investigate these matters carefully.” When there is enough evidence, it will not be too late to send King Rong down.
“Yes.” Concubine Yuan Gui also agreed: “Now that Jianing is approaching the delivery date, there should be no accidents.”
