Shadow Guard, he's a bit good

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held on the rooftop. Originally, the emperor and the empress were required to pray together, but the empress was deceased and the emperor did not stand up again. Therefore, it was decided that Concubine Xiao would take the place of the empress on the stage with the emperor on that day. You must fast and bathe to show your sincerity, and then Qin Tianjian will choose an auspicious day.

On this day, the emperor took the hand of Concubine Xiao in the dragon robe and walked slowly up to the rooftop. The eunuch lit the incense and handed it to the emperor and Concubine Xiao. kneel.

During the Winter Festival, Gu Xiao did not participate because he was injured. He thought that offering sacrifices to heaven was just a matter of kneeling and kowtowing. Xiao's knees were numb, if he knew it would be easier for him to tie knees on his knees.

The civil and military officials kneel in different positions according to their ranks, and the ones with higher ranks are closer to the front. Gu Xiao is behind a group of his imperial brothers.

Gu Xiao quietly raised his head and looked around to see where his family Shijiu was, and then he saw Shijiu and several other princes' personal guards kneeling diagonally behind them.

Gu Xiao looked at Nineteen, and Nineteen just happened to look at him, so Gu Xiao immediately showed an aggrieved expression, expressing that his knee hurts so much that he needs Nineteen to hug him.

The inexplicable Nineteen understood the meaning in his master's eyes, and immediately blushed and lowered his head to stop looking at him. Gu Xiao's mood changed from gloomy to clear along with Nineteen's shy face.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven lasted for nearly a day. In the evening, a dinner was arranged in the palace and some adults with higher ranks were reserved for dinner. Gu Xiao was afraid that Nineteen would be hungry, so he let him go back first, and sent someone to pick him up after the palace banquet was over. he.

Gu Xiao changed out of his spare regular clothes and was relaxed. He is already hungry and his chest is sticking to his back. When others toast and drink, he will eat food on his own. If someone comes to toast, he will have a drink, otherwise he will never drink more He doesn't take the initiative to toast to anyone, and King Yan probably did the same before, so no one finds it strange that Gu Xiao is like this.

After all, Gu Xiao is a prince or a prince, and there are many people who want to curry favor with him. Just like this, you toast him one cup at a time, and Gu Xiao gradually begins to feel overwhelmed. Now that he is hot all over, if he drinks again, he will really get drunk , So he took care of Liang Wang who was next to him, and asked Liang Wang to help him cover himself and quietly left the table to go out for a walk and drink some wine.

Gu Xiao walked out of the banquet hall and exhaled, the breeze was so comfortable, he tugged at the neckline to let the wind blow in to dissipate heat.

"thump"--

While walking, Gu Xiao suddenly heard the sound of something falling into the water. At first he thought it was a frog diving into the water, but then he felt that the sound was wrong. There was a lotus pond not far from here. Gu Xiao walked away suspiciously. In the past, he saw a figure standing by the lotus pond, but it was too dark and far away, so he couldn't see who it was, so he asked aloud, "Who is where?"

The figure seemed to be frightened, turned around and ran away, Gu Xiao realized that something was wrong and quickly ran over, but the figure had long since disappeared, and there was a faint cry for help from the lotus pond, Gu Xiao didn't even care about the shock He got on and quickly shouted: "Come on, someone is drowning here, come and save him!"

Then he couldn't wait for the person to come, he jumped into the water and fished the drowning person into his arms. He didn't know that he was shocked, but the other party was just a child and his age was not more than seven years old. He is so cruel that he doesn't even spare a child.

Gu Xiao carried the child ashore, and pressed the little boy's chest while yelling "Come here", maybe the Jitian Palace is busy today, Gu Xiao yelled like this, but no one came, so he couldn't care Xiao had no choice but to pick up the child and run to the Tai Hospital.

There were two imperial physicians on duty at the imperial hospital. Seeing Gu Xiao hurrying over with a wet child in his arms, the imperial physician was taken aback and was about to go forward to salute when Gu Xiao sternly stopped him.

"What kind of courtesy is there, hurry up and save people"

The imperial doctor repeatedly said yes, and quickly took the medicine box to get the silver needle. Gu Xiao put the child on the bed and stepped back to watch nervously.

After a stick of incense, one of the imperial physicians wrote the prescription and handed it to the medicine boy to decoct it.

Gu Xiao said: "How?"

"My lord, please don't worry, the emperor and grandson just choked on a few sips of water, and there is no danger of life."

Gu Xiao was surprised and said: "You said he is the emperor's grandson?"

"Yes, my lord, don't you remember, this child is the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Jing?"

The imperial doctor suddenly remembered something and pleaded guilty: "Your official should die, I forgot that the prince has lost his memory, please make amends."

Gu Xiao waved his hand indifferently. King Jing is the elder brother of King Yan, and he and King Yan belong to the kind of well water that does not interfere with river water, and King Jing's gentle and polite character is very popular.

Gu Xiao felt that he was unknowingly involved in a conspiracy of a palace fight. He just wanted to go back quickly, but the sky failed. The disappearance of the little emperor's grandson made everyone anxious. King Jing, together with the other princes, After getting up and going to the imperial hospital, after confirming that the son was fine, King Jing was furious and asked to meet the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly.

On the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor also showed a bad face, and said in a serious voice, "King Yan, tell me what's going on."

At this time, Gu Xiao had already changed into clean clothes and said: "I went out to sober up and suddenly heard the sound of falling into the water. I ran over and found someone drowning and wanted to call for help. But today the palace has been busy for a long time. No one came, so Erchen saved the person and rushed to the imperial hospital for the on-duty imperial doctor to treat him quickly."

The fifth prince snorted disdainfully and said, "Who knows if it's a play you directed and acted yourself?"

Gu Xiao hurriedly said: "I haven't seen the emperor's nephew since my son lost his memory, so I ask my father to learn from me."

"Hasn't the seventh brother seen it? Hasn't anyone in the seventh brother's house also seen it?"

"Father..."

"Okay!" The emperor suppressed their anger and interrupted their meaningless quarrel: "King Yan, have you ever seen who pushed the emperor's grandson into the lotus pond?"

"At that time, I was too far away, so I didn't see it clearly. I just thought it should be a woman."

At this time King Jing said: "Father, the son drank a few more glasses of fruit juice at the banquet and said that he was going to pay respects, so the minister asked the maid who was waiting on the side to take the son away."

Every prince and lord stood beside such a maid who waited on him, and those who did not exist were all selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from a group of maids who did handyman.

The emperor immediately announced in a deep voice that the head of the House of Internal Affairs came, and the head of the House of Internal Affairs trembled like chaff, and said tremblingly that the maid named Xiu'er who was serving King Jing at that time was a newcomer.

The guards led the emperor's order to arrest Xiu'er, and brought her to the Xuanzheng Hall within half a stick of incense.

King Jing who almost lost his beloved son was undoubtedly the one who was the most annoyed among the people present. He pointed at the court lady Xiu'er on the ground and said sharply: "Say, it means that you are the one who ordered you to murder the emperor's grandson."

The maid lay prone on the ground motionless, let alone opened her mouth or spoke.

At this time, the third prince said: "This lowly servant girl is stubborn, father should use some instruments of torture for her to make her speak."

King Jing: "My ministers do not agree with the use of punishment. Under heavy punishment, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of torture."

"How can she tell the truth without punishment"

"Third brother insists on using torture like this, is it because he wants to kill someone to silence him?"

"What do you mean by that?" The third prince turned to the emperor and said, "Royal father, elder brother is spitting blood!"

The emperor said with a headache: "Both of you, don't say a few words, the emperor's grandson is drowning, King Jing is inevitably a little impatient."

This is to help King Jing speak, and the third prince shut up angrily.

The emperor looked at the court lady and said: "Who ordered you to murder the emperor's grandson? If you tell me, I will spare your life, or you will be implicated in the great crime of the nine clans."

The maid trembled and then slowly raised her head to look around, and finally raised her finger to Gu Xiao who was directly opposite her.

Her finger surprised everyone, and Gu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.
