After being forced to marry the prince

Gu Baiji nodded slightly as a signal, and then turned his attention to Chu Wu beside him.

At that time, others might not notice it, but Gu Bai who was in contact with him could clearly feel that Chu Wu, who seemed to be calm, was tensing up all the time, trembling unconsciously.

Under the cover of the large sleeves of the toga, Gu Baiji stretched out his hand to hold Chu Wu's hand in his palm, and then passed on his inner strength little by little.

For Chu Wu, who had never practiced martial arts, it actually didn't have much effect, but at least it could make him feel better.

Chu Wu struggled slightly, and after discovering the other party's persistence, he stopped moving.The key is that at this moment, all his strength is used to support himself sitting here, and he really has no spare energy to do other things.

The emperor was planning to stop, but Concubine Rong, the Seventh Prince and others were a little unwilling. They wanted to say something more, but the emperor got up and said, "Needless to say, let's stop here for today. I'm a little tired. Wait until the banquet is over. Make your own arrangements."

He said to Chu Wu again: "Ah Jiu is going to go back to the palace, let's go see your mother and concubine later!"

Chu Wu: "My son obeys the order!"

The emperor thought for a while, and his eyes fell on Gu Baiji who was beside him. After a little thought, he said to Duke Xiao:

"Ah Jiu may be uncomfortable when he first arrives at Gu Qing's residence, so pick a few maids for him to serve him!"

"I have thanked my father!" Chu Wu thanked again, and said, "It's just that I like to be quiet, and I really don't like the crowd."

The emperor looked back at him without saying a word, and his expression was unpredictable for a while.

Gu Baiji got up, went to Gu Baiji's side and knelt down to thank him: "There are very few children in the general's mansion, and it is true that there are occasional cases where they are not well taken care of. I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the prince!"

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, turned to the imperial concubine and said, "Since Ajiu is happy to be quiet, there are two of you, and you arrange it."

Gu Baiji kowtowed and thanked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine will make good arrangements!" The imperial concubine who had been watching the play hurriedly responded softly, then got up and left behind the emperor.

The emperor had already left, and the rest of the people also left one after another under the arrangement of Gong'e.

When the Seventh Prince passed by Gu Baiji, his eyes fell on the pale-faced Chu Wu, and then he said to Gu Baiji meaningfully:

"The love for the ninth younger brother is really touching, General Gu, how lucky you are!"

The people attending the banquet gradually left, and Lin Huan also left quietly with the crowd. The Eleventh Prince was inconvenient, and when he passed the two of them in a wheelchair, he said in a low voice:

"Brother Jiu, take care!"

Chu Wu nodded, Gu Baiji said: "Just now I thank the Eleventh Prince!"

There are many people at the banquet, even if it is just a small wine glass, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to fall into the trap of others. He was negligent in his desperation before.

Chu Yu shook his head, "It's just a little effort, the general and Brother Nine are still going to pay a visit to Concubine Li, so I won't bother you any more, so I will leave!"

Gu Baiji also walked out with Chu Wu, and then parted from everyone outside the palace gate, and turned to the direction of Concubine Li's bedroom.

"My lord, are you okay?"

Chu Wu's face was so pale that he just shook his head and didn't speak.

Gu Baiji felt a little anxious, "You..."

He paused, and suddenly thought of something. Pretending to whisper to Chu Wu, he raised his hand and blocked the cuffs of his inner jacket in front of Chu Wu, and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, spit it out."

Chu Wu shook slightly, and couldn't hold back anymore, a mouthful of blood sprayed on Gu Baiji's cuff.

"Chu Wu!" Gu Baiji's expression darkened, and he was about to say something more, when Chu Wu grabbed his sleeve and shook his head lightly.

There are palace people in front of and behind the two of them, so it's not a place for them to talk.The Qi and blood that had been accumulated in his heart just now finally spit out, Chu Wu's expression eased a little.

His injured hand had just been tossed about a while ago, and it has been hanging weakly at this moment. Now that he is a little awake, his eyes fell on the pot of coral in Gu Baiji's hand, and he said softly:

"General Lao is here."

"My lord, you are welcome!" Gu Baiji's originally unattractive complexion completely sank when he heard the words, he looked at the coral in his hand, and said coldly: "Red jade coral, a solid silver seat, it is really the emperor's grace!"

Chu Wuwen said, but he could only smile wryly in his heart—if it wasn't for the solid weight, how could it be called a temptation?

So he said that many things really do not match the rumors.For example, the favor in the eyes of others is nothing more than a temptation to torture because of a little doubt.

Concubine Li's palace was relatively remote, and the two of them were stopped for a while on the way.

Princess Longxin Chu Yue, the sister of the crown prince's mother and compatriots.

Chu Yue's skirt was covered with some mist, obviously she had been waiting for a long time.

"General Gu." Chu Yue opened the mouth first, and said with a smile, "I saw you at the banquet today, and I saw that the general's demeanor is still the same as it was two years ago."

Gu Baiji took a step back calmly, opened the distance, nodded and said: "The princess is too famous, if nothing else, Gu will leave first!"

"Are you in such a hurry, general? Don't be just because Brother Jiu is by your side!" Chu Yue said as she belatedly turned to Chu Wu who was at the side, "Brother Jiu, Long Xin hasn't celebrated your marriage properly yet. .”

"You have a heart, brother Jiu has it."

Just when Gu Baiji was talking to Chu Yue, Chu Wuji leaned on the railing under the corridor calmly, and in addition to the dim light, it was almost impossible to see anything unusual about him.

"If there's nothing important, allow me to pay a visit to the concubine mother first, okay?"

Long Xin looked back and forth between the two of them, her expression unclear, and after a while, she suddenly laughed softly:

"Ninth brother really deserves to be a family with the general, even the words of sending people are so similar, since this is the case, my sister will not bother me."

After speaking, he gave Gu Baiji a soft look, then lowered his head to cover his unwilling eyes, turned around and led a group of ladies behind him to leave.

Although Concubine Li's bedroom is far away, the environment is quiet.The palace had obviously heard the news that Chu Wu and Gu Baiji had come to visit, and there were court ladies waiting outside the palace.

However, Concubine Li had no intention of seeing the two of them, so she asked the palace maid to bring out the rewards after the two saluted through a screen.

They are just common gold, silver and jade ornaments, nothing special about them.Chu Wu thanked him and said:

"My son is not here, please take care of your mother and don't overwork yourself!"

Afterwards, another court lady came out from behind the screen, and said to Chu Wu in a low voice: "Lord Nine, Your Majesty said, let you go back!"

Gu Baiji watched this scene quietly, and finally his eyes fell on Chu Wu, the expression in his eyes was difficult to understand.

——Based on what he saw today, this Ninth Prince, who is in full bloom with grace, seems to be inconsistent with the rumored scenery.

Chu Wu was not annoyed by the order to expel the guest, he still looked respectful, knelt on the ground for a while, and kowtowed:

"My son Chuwu, please bid farewell to mother!"

Gu Baiji paused, then knelt down beside him.In any case, the one behind the screen was also his titular mother-in-law.

After a while, the person behind the screen finally responded:

"Ayou, let's go back! This place...don't come here again."

The voice is soft and ruthless.

Chu Wu didn't answer, just kowtowed: "Mother take care!"

Leaving Concubine Li's palace, until he was almost out of the palace, Gu Baiji looked at the silent person beside him and asked:

"Is your lord okay?"

Chu Wu raised his head, his pale face almost startled Gu Baiji.
