Every day after the marriage, I prepare a funeral for my husband

This spring is slowly passing away in such sweetness and joy.

Although the northern land is scattered, the wind is free. Even though the blue sky above is square, the word cage has nothing to do with Gu Qiao anymore.Sometimes he would think that he might have turned into a bird, living in a house made of gold with peace of mind, even if the cage door was open, he would not want to go out again.

There are tens of thousands of doors in this world, and the ones that can really block people's footsteps are always invisible.

The only thing that bothered Gu Qiao was that he still couldn't see Dian Chen often.

At the beginning, the men would come every few days, but then they came less frequently.

Dianchen holds several positions, including important military and political affairs. These days, although he tries his best to come over to eat and chat with Gu Qiao, and rest with Gu Qiao, but every time Gu Qiao wakes up late at night, he is not by his side. Open the window, and you can see the lights burning all night in the study.

At times like this, Gu Qiao always pretended not to know, went to bed and continued to sleep until the next morning, and then asked Dianchen if he slept well.

With blue eyes, Dianchen always replied with a smile, "With you here, I always sleep well."

Gu Qiao never asked about his business affairs, but just stretched out his hand to caress his handsome face. Now that they can stay together, this is the best gift God gave him. He doesn't intervene in other things, and he doesn't force them.

Unexpectedly, at the end of April, the news that the emperor was seriously ill suddenly came from Jinling.

That day, as soon as Dianchen sat down in the main hall, a guard followed up and whispered in his ear.

Gu Qiao felt a certain kind of low air pressure, so he reached out to take the baby over and said, "If you have official business, go and do it first."

Dianchen shook his head: "It's okay, I'll sit down for a while."

Looking at the man's preoccupied eyebrows, Gu Qiao wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't ask.

The days suddenly passed quickly, one day, two days, and in a blink of an eye, midsummer was coming.

The north is not as humid as the south, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large. After more than a month of no rain, the sky and earth in July have become a hot furnace, and the air on the surface of the earth can often be seen being scorched into a distorted shape at noon.

When it was hot, Gu Qiao also became lazy, and his body was unbearably tired.

Fortunately, Ping Shun and his servants helped him take care of the baby. After lunch, he went to sleep with peace of mind, and slept until evening without waking up.

"Princess, it's time to get up and eat." In the evening, Ping Shun knocked on the door outside.

Gu Qiao woke up suddenly, only feeling a little smoke in his throat, got up and took a sip of water, and then put on his clothes and left the bedroom.

He looked at the still empty dining room, felt a little lost, and finally couldn't help asking: "Ping Shun, what has your grandfather been up to lately?"

As soon as the baby saw Gu Qiao, he hurriedly stretched out his little hand: "Daddy, give me a hug~"

By the way, Ping handed the baby to Gu Qiao, and while laying out the chopsticks, he sighed and replied: "This year's weather is a bit abnormal, the grass grows very badly, and a lot of the sown food has withered. The sixth master is inviting the local officials to play together." .”

Gu Qiao looked out the window and saw that the trees were all listless, and his heart felt a little heavy.

Ping Shun grinned at this moment, and said, "Don't worry, imperial concubine, but for a small drought, the court's relief money will come soon."

Hope.

Gu Qiao nodded, and sat down at the table holding the baby.

There were a few delicate dishes on the table, all of which were rarely seen in the Northland. Pingshun served him a bowl of cool lotus seed and white fungus soup, and said, "Princess, this is what the Sixth Lord specially asked my servants to give you. Be prepared, the weather is hot, you must not suffer from heat stroke."

Although the man was not there, he never ignored him.

A hint of sweetness welled up in Gu Qiao's heart, he nodded with a chuckle, picked up a small spoon and fed the baby first, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

The baby is not picky eaters, Yin Hong chewed it twice and said, "It's delicious, baby wants a big bowl~"

Gu Qiao smiled and said, "Okay."

Hearing this, Ping Shun filled another bowl for Gu Qiao.

Gu Qiao took it, and said naturally: "Thank you."

Forehead.To be honest, Ping Shun a few years ago, even if he was killed, he would not believe that one day he would hear Prince Qingyuan say such a thing.

He let out an "oops" and quickly said: "Huangfei, you really don't have to be so polite. If you let others know that you thank me, I won't have enough heads to cut off."

Gu Qiao smiled slightly, noncommittal.

He picked up a spoon and took a sip, the taste was sweet and refreshing, um, delicious~

Unexpectedly, acid water suddenly surged in his stomach at the next moment, he didn't hold back, turned his head and vomited, and vomited it all out.

Ping Shun was startled, quickly picked up the thick towel and handed it over, and asked nervously: "What's the matter, imperial concubine?"

what happened?

This feeling was so familiar, Gu Qiao was dumbfounded, holding the baby in one hand and covering his chest with the other, feeling a bad premonition faintly in his heart.

During this period of time, he and Dianchen didn't see each other very often, even if the two of them occasionally did something beneficial to their physical and mental health in the middle of the night, Dianchen would leave quickly in the last few moments.

If you count carefully, it's only the carriage ride before...

Isn't it, isn't it, what the hell is it?

Gu Qiao stared, and after a long silence, he suddenly raised his face and said, "I'm not feeling well, can you find a doctor for me?"

……

After diagnosing the pulse, Gu Qiao sat on the stool without saying a word.

The censer was burning with high-quality aloe incense, and it curled upwards, circling straight up, and he gently put his hand on his abdomen.

The doctor said that there has been a new little life there for more than three months.

"Imperial concubine!"

Ping Shun was so happy that he was going crazy, after the doctor left, he ran back from the door in a short while, and said happily: "It's so good, it's so good!"

It turns out, is this a good thing?

Gu Qiao felt a little uneasy, and all kinds of strange thoughts circled in his mind for a while, making him a little at a loss.

Ben had already agreed to regenerate later, but when Gu Qiao was completely unprepared, the god of "luck" descended on him again.

For a moment, he didn't know if he had just spent his life on giving birth to a child.

Although the second treasure came at a very bad time, thinking about Dianchen, Gu Qiao thought about it, and after thinking about it, he still raised his head and said to Pingshun: "You don't have to worry about asking your father to come over. If he is busy, Come back in a few days."

After all, he is not that willful and domineering son, they are together, and all decisions should be made by them together.

After Ping Shun happily left, Gu Qiao leaned against the door frame, looking at the eastern sky, all he could see was a gloomy darkness.

When can we really settle down?

He sighed helplessly, and the night wind blew up, raising his hair at the temples, bringing a bit of dull heat.

Back in the room, took a shower, let her hair loose, and got under the quilt with bare feet in white pajamas.The baby was already asleep, and his little face was flushed with heat. Gu Qiao took a fan and fanned the baby gently.

Thinking of the way Nansu looked at him before, and Dianchen's worries recently, he instinctively didn't want to keep Er Bao, just like he didn't want to keep Xing'er back then.

But, Dianchen will be very happy, right?

And, he just confirmed it to the doctor time and time again, the doctor said it was healthy, it was really healthy...

nothing will happen, right?

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.

I hope not.

In the dead of night, Ping Shun knocked on the door and came in at midnight, but said that Dian Chen had left An Sheng to see the King of Beinan, and he had been away for seven or eight days, and the date of return was uncertain.

Unable to tell Dianchen the news at the first time, Gu Qiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, nodded, said nothing, turned over and closed his eyes quietly.

……

But a few days later, when Gu Qiao woke up in the morning, Dianchen just pushed open the door and came in. His black armor was covered in dust, and even his chin had green stubble.

The first time he saw the man, Gu Qiao felt as if a hot water bottle had been punctured in his heart, and the warm water flowed from his heart, and his smile couldn't stop flowing out slowly, full of heartache.

"Ping Shun said you needed to find me."

After the man finished speaking, he came over and sat on the edge of the bed.

Gu Qiao sat up and saw that the whites of Dianchen's eyes were covered with red blood, and he didn't know that he hadn't had a good rest for a few days.

He never took the initiative to look for Dianchen. Obviously, the man rushed back as soon as he received the news. He stared at his brows and eyes, the tip of his nose suddenly felt sour, and he wanted to reach out to hug him, but was stopped.

Dianchen pointed to his armor: "I'll take a bath first."

Gu Qiao smiled sadly, and nodded quickly: "Then you wash first, and I'll ask Pingshun to prepare some meals for you."

"No, I'm too sleepy." Dianchen's voice was tired, but he smiled softly: "I'll come over to sleep in a while, so don't get up, and sleep with me again."

Gu Qiao let out a "hmm".

Dianchen asked again: "You suddenly came to me, what's the matter?"

Gu Qiao said: "I just miss you, you go wash it first, and then we can talk about it after washing."

During the time when Dianchen was bathing, Gu Qiao organized his words again and again, as if he was uneasy before the wedding night a few years ago...

"Qiaoqiao."

Suddenly someone got into the bed, with the fresh smell after bathing.

Gu Qiao turned his head, and saw the man lying on the bed, wearing white satin pajamas. He propped his head on one hand, squinting at Gu Qiao, and seemed to be in better spirits.

Gu Qiao stretched out his hand to touch his wet hair, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and said in a low voice, "Sir, that..."

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then a guard's voice sounded: "General, there is an urgent report."

Dianchen never discussed business in front of Gu Qiao, but at this moment he really didn't want to get up again, so he said in a deep voice through the door: "Speak."

"Reporting to General, Jinling's approval has come back."

When the guard said the first word, Dianchen sat up suddenly, grabbed his outer robe and opened the door, rubbed his brows and said, "Go to the study."

Gu Qiao was startled, and hurriedly got out of bed to put on his shoes. Maybe it was because of Dianchen's exhaustion, or maybe it was because of Ping Shun's words, he suddenly panicked, and somehow felt that he should no longer be a person who stayed out of things.

Those who can enter this house are all Dianchen's confidantes, no one would dare to stop Gu Qiao, he followed to the study, lying on the window sill to listen secretly.

It turns out that since this year, there has been a large area of ​​drought in the northern region, and a year of famine is imminent. Dianchen has seen this situation early, and began to prepare all countermeasures several months ago.

Unexpectedly, locust plagues and floods broke out in the southwest again, and one-third of the land of Dayan was devastated. The food, grass and clothes distributed by the imperial capital were exploited layer by layer by local officials and aristocratic families, and they could not reach the people for a long time.

Dian Song is also the real power holder of the empire, but he connives at his subordinates who are openly greedy for money and indulges in showing favor to the big clan in order to win the support of the upper-level organization.Within half a month, nearly [-] people in the south died, and countless people fled thousands of miles to the west, east, and some even came to the north.

Gu Qiao lived in the inner house, and had no idea that a large number of hungry refugees had gathered in front of the Wufu Pass and Ansheng Pass, and hundreds of people starved to death every day.

However, the emperor is old.

The merits and demerits of an emperor can only be concluded after the coffin is built. He has worked hard all his life to govern. At this juncture, how would he prefer to listen to Dianchen's report or Diansong's slander?

Anyone who has a little experience in the court, who doesn't understand this truth?

Dianchen has written more than ten letters of advice, but except for a few officials, no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty is willing to support him.

His memorial was ignored, and his letter of remonstrance was dismissed. He said that the local disaster was serious, and more than [-] people had died.But they said that the world of Yan is peaceful and the people live in peace and happiness, but the six princes are talking nonsense.

He said that An Shengwai had gathered countless people fleeing from famine, if they were not guided, the people would revolt and it would definitely lead to a catastrophe.But they said that the sixth prince had wiped out the thieves in the past two years.

He said that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were deceiving themselves and others, the government and the public were immoral, and local officials were greedy and shameless. If they were not punished, chaos would ensue.However, under the instruction of other princes, they falsely accused him of supporting the army and self-respect, causing chaos in the government and the public, and even took out merit umbrellas and ten-thousand-word books donated by the local people, praising the emperor's benevolence and love, and the great Yan Fu Zuo stretching, and then, He also blamed him for slandering the court for no reason without evidence.

In the past few years, Dianchen has always been a strong contender for the crown prince, surrounded by a bunch of officials and staff.It's not that no one has persuaded him: My sixth prince, this is not the time to be serious——

But they didn't consider that he used to be a Buddhist chanter.

He was a part of this battle to seize the heirloom, but now, before seizing everything, he has to go through such a ridiculous and hypocritical test.

The slobbering in the court is like a pot of porridge, but the people are dying anytime, anywhere.He couldn't do what Dian Song and the others did. He didn't even know what was left in this world after one of their seven brothers sat in that position and defeated all the enemies?

evidence?

"boom!"

At this moment, Gu Qiao heard the crisp sound of porcelain shattering.

Those people who endured silence roared angrily at this moment: "They turn a blind eye to the dark refugees outside the Guancheng, they turn a blind eye to the countless messy corpses on the western land, and they turn a deaf ear to the heart-piercing cries of grief. Now, they But holding the Wanmin Umbrella presented by a group of local rice worms, deceiving yourself and others, and then mockingly asking me for evidence?"

Power tricks, power tricks, what is power tricks, after the fight, they want to destroy everything.

The man shouted: "Can they afford such a price?"

When Gu Qiao heard this, he raised his hand to cover his heart, which was aching.

He never knew that Dianchen was under such a great pressure.
