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

Gu Qiao listened for a while, then turned and left in silence, but in the morning, the sun showed its venom, and the wind was blowing from a distance. He took a deep breath, as if smelling the famine coming from outside the city.

When he returned to the room, Ping Shun was lying on the floor playing marbles with Xing'er. Gu Qiao looked at it through the bead curtain for a while, then returned to the bed and continued to wait for Dian Chen.

After a while, the man came back and gently hugged him into his arms, as if nothing happened just now.He never brings negative emotions to him, but can he turn a blind eye?

He said he fell asleep, but every time Gu Qiao looked up, he saw that those bloodshot eyes were open, and the man was staring at a certain point in the sky, and the arms holding him unconsciously retracted. Tight, gradually exert force.

"Qiaoqiao."

Dianchen suddenly called him, but he only called out once, and there was no more to say.

Gu Qiao's cheek was pressed against his shoulder blades, and his breath was filled with the fragrance of his bath.He hummed, his voice echoed quietly in the room, he raised his face and said, "I understand, Mr. Xianggong, I heard you talking to the guard outside the study just now."

Dianchen's body shook slightly, and after a moment of silence, he hugged him even more tightly.

After a long time, he asked, "Do you think I should return to Jinling at this time?"

Gu Qiao thought for a while and said, "Of course not, because you are more needed here."

At the end of April, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and all civil and military officials were in a state of anxiety.During this period of time, the princes and local officials have tried their best to put aside state affairs, rushed back to Jinling, and guarded the central area. Ministers with a little experience know that this is the time when the power of the temple is most likely to be overthrown, and there will be Unexpected big changes can happen.

This restlessness and restlessness may not end until the new emperor ascends the throne and the situation becomes clear.

However, the emperor was lifeless a while ago, but these days he gradually got better, his sanity was already clear, and he could occasionally go to court to govern.

No one dares to underestimate this emperor who has been in power for many years and has kept secrets.For so many years, he seems to have always been like this, showing compassion anytime and anywhere, but as long as someone dares to step over half a step, he will definitely suffer a devastating blow.

The sudden assassination of Prince Qingyuan a few years ago was a bloody example.

However, everyone thinks the same way, the emperor is not a god after all, and he will not die forever.Now that the princes are vying for the throne, whoever can please the emperor more, whoever does what the emperor wants, will have a greater chance of winning.But now, the emperor is obviously more happy with the Wanmin Umbrella. At this time, who would dare to spoil the emperor's mood by mentioning the local disaster situation?

If Dianchen stays in Beidi, let alone continue to play to annoy the emperor, he may return one day late, and he will never be on the throne again in this life.

Throughout the ages, which new emperor has how many brothers are alive?

It is very likely that in a few years, the butcher's knife from Jinling will hang brightly on Dianchen's neck.

He was not afraid of death, but he felt sorry for Gu Qiao and Xing'er, he had promised them that they would definitely take that position, but——

But he couldn't move forward.

At this moment, Jinling was surrounded like an iron barrel, and all the refugees were driven to other places, and officials from other places ordered them to be driven away, and gradually they all rushed to the border.

When Dianchen entered the city this morning, he saw gray-haired old people, young and weak children, and nearby people who had been robbed of food by other refugees in the crowd. These people slept for more than a dozen miles outside the city wall. But when he saw his car driving, he stood up quietly and lined up on both sides of the road to make way for an empty lane.

All the people stared at Dianchen in unison, there was a faint voice floating in the wind, which could hardly be heard by anyone.

"Mom, is that the general who fed us?"

"Well, don't talk, let the general pass first."

Dianchen looked sideways, but couldn't find the speaker.

Now he is the first person who stands up and is willing to accept refugees among all the forces in the entire Dayan, including the affiliated territories. All the eyes of thousands of people have turned into silence, and even the three or four-year-old children are silent, but Looking at him quietly.

— General, help me.

——Sixth Prince, give me a stutter.

Dianchen couldn't break free from those gazes, but he was already stretched for more than a month on his own.

The common people have no way to survive, but the government is still greedy and collecting money. People think that Dianchen is a royal, but they don't know that the court has already acquiesced in this matter, and all disaster reports have been forcibly suppressed. The answer given was that all the chores could not be played until the position of the prince was settled.

"Qiaoqiao, if I can't take that position, will you blame me?"

That night, Gu Qiao and Dian Chen boarded the city wall together, at the moment of dawn, the man said softly.

The sun gradually rose, and the heat wave hit again. Gu Qiao looked away from the refugees who could not see the end, shook his head, and silently held Dian Chen's hand tightly.

"No, don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid, Xianggong, I'm still here, and Xing'er is here too.

The man stared at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap him in his arms, hugging him so tightly, so tightly.

After going back, Gu Qiao taught Xing'er to read for a while, but after a while, Dian Chen who was resting on the bed suddenly disappeared.

Gu Qiao went all the way to the study room, and he pushed open the door, and saw Dian Chen sitting behind the desk with steady eyes, leaning over the desk, writing vigorously.Every porridge and meal that the common people eat now is the money and food that Dianchen forcibly extracted from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Food and merchants of various clans. The king and the merchants hope that they can lend a helping hand to help people tide over this famine.

However, he no longer felt tired because he had Gu Qiao's understanding and support.

Gu Qiao stood silently for a long time, and when he saw that he had finished writing, he walked over slowly, squatted in front of him, and lay quietly on his knees.

The aroma in the incense burner curled up, forming a fine smoke, and Dianchen's dry and slender hands brushed his hair lightly.

Gu Qiao raised his face and said slowly: "In the future, I will also reduce the cost of my room. One meal of mine can support the rations of more than a dozen people."

Dianchen smiled: "If you cut me, you won't cut it. If you don't even have food to eat, what use will I be as a general?"

Gu Qiao was about to say something more, when Dianchen helped him to stand up, and suddenly said: "Qiaoqiao, don't talk, and have a drink with me, okay?"

In the evening, Pingshun sent several jars of Northland spirits, which were very spicy, and as soon as they were opened, a strong aroma of wine came to the nostrils.

He and Dianchen finally became incompetent fathers once, abandoned Xing'er and everything else, and drank together in the courtyard without talking about political affairs or the situation, just talking about Xing'er's growth while drinking , also said that Gu Qiao was absurd in the past, and laughed out loud.

In fact, only Dianchen was drinking alone, and Gu Qiao already had a second treasure, so he couldn't indulge anymore, he just moistened his mouth, thinking that he didn't want Dianchen to face all this alone at this time.

Later, Dianchen drank more and more, and looked very sober, but stood at the bottom of the steps for a long time and refused to move.

Gu Qiao took his slender arm and said, "Let's go, I'm sleepy."

The man raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, and said, "I'm a little dizzy."

clam?

Gu Qiao was stunned, and laughed: "Tsk tsk, how dare you ask me for a drink with such a small drinking capacity?"

As soon as the words fell, the man covered his mouth, then picked him up horizontally, and walked to the bedroom.

Gu Qiao whispered "Yeah", buried his head in his arms and lowered his voice to protest: "Put me down, it doesn't matter if you fall, I will be in trouble if you fall!"

Dianchen lowered his head and said soberly, "Shut up."

Gu Qiao raised his eyebrows: "No!"

After Dianchen drank the wine, his pale face became much more rosy, and when he smiled slightly, there was a beautiful beauty in the pear dimple that could overwhelm all living beings.

"I have plenty of ways to make you shut up." After that, he walked over, put him on the bed, lowered his head and kissed his lips.He was too familiar with his body and knew exactly where his sensitive spots were, so he deliberately teased him.

Gu Qiao couldn't take it anymore, raised his head, and looked at him pitifully: "Admit defeat, don't go too far."

"Admit defeat so quickly?"

Dianchen breathed out the smell of alcohol, and gently covered her: "You are not at all like when you were in the Shizi Mansion. At that time, you ate my tofu every day, and your mind was full of wanting me to want you."

"Where do I have it?" Gu Qiao immediately retorted when it came to his personal reputation: "You spout blood!"

"No?" Dianchen said with a smile: "You pick me up every day and touch me all over, don't you want me to break the precept?"

"Dianchen, you—"

"You can speak louder, I like you to listen to you." Dianchen was really shameless at the moment, and he tore off Gu Qiao's clothes with his big hands.

Impressed.

In fact, Gu Qiao didn't tell Dianchen about the second treasure, but the recent atmosphere is too depressing, he wanted to make the man happy, so he looked at him viciously, and quickly lowered his voice: "You don't want the second treasure anymore?"

Dian Chen rolled his eyes at him, his expression seemed to say "I knew you would make excuses".

Seeing that Dianchen wanted to move further, Gu Qiao suddenly sat up angrily, hugged his clothes and was about to leave.But just when he was about to climb over Dianchen, someone grabbed his waist, his elbows suddenly lost strength, and he fell on Dianchen's chest.

"What? Say it again?"

Dianchen stared at him with drunken eyes: "Qiaoqiao, I'm stupid now, I'm afraid I misunderstood it."

Gu Qiao bit his lip and thumped his chest hard: "You didn't torture Xing'er enough, why do you want to torture Erbao?"

"..."

Second treasure?

Suddenly, Dianchen became very busy, sat up, poured a cup of tea and drank it himself, then walked back and touched Gu Qiao's lower abdomen, said "ah", and retracted his hand again.

He walked around the room twice more, paced back and forth with a calm expression, then came over, squatted beside the bed and took Gu Qiao's hand, staring at Gu Qiao all the time, not moving at all. It also looks unbelievable and confused.

"Qiaoqiao... oops..."

He touched Gu Qiao's hand carefully, like a simple old farmer touching his crops: "I'm really good, always like this, one step at a time."

Gu Qiao: "..."

The next moment, the man's hand suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist.

The smell of alcohol sprayed on his face quickly, and his neck was numb for a while. Dianchen hugged him, and said solemnly and quickly: "Is there really a baby? How? Is it healthy? It won't be bad, right?"

In an instant, Gu Qiao's heart suddenly softened like that, as light as a pool of clear water.

He felt a little sad, stretched out his hand, held his finger, pulled it up little by little and put it on his lips, and then kissed him: "Well, the doctor said that it's been more than three months, and it's very healthy."

The candles in the room were silently burning, and from time to time a trace of candle flames burst out, crackling.

Dianchen hugged Gu Qiao's body, and gradually, a child-like smile of surprise filled his face, and a little disbelief, his pupils kept moving to look at Gu Qiao's face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is there really?" gone?"

Gu Qiao nodded with a smile.

The ignorant light cast down softly, and the candle flame flickered, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.Dianchen looked at him with deep eyes, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly got up to get dressed.

Gu Qiao was startled, and quickly asked, "Why are you going?"

"Have someone intercept the memorial." The man was still a little drunk, but his voice was calm and powerful, and he could cast gold and stone: "I will return to Jinling tomorrow."

At this moment, he doesn't want to care about anything, he just wants to be selfish for a while, and do his best to ensure the safety of Gu Qiao and the two children in the future.

"and many more."

Gu Qiao knew this would happen, and quickly hugged his waist from behind, pressed his face against his back, and said hastily: "I know, but as you said, no matter what happens in the future, at least our family will be together." Together, Dianchen, don't do things that you will regret in the future."

Dianchen stood there motionless like a sculpture.

His fists were gradually clenched, and after taking a deep breath suddenly, he turned around and held Gu Qiao's face: "Qiaoqiao, I..."

But at this moment, only a voice came: "Urgent report——"

In the past, no matter how anxious he was, Dianchen's bodyguards and interrogators would only speak after knocking on the door and getting a response.But at this moment, the elongated voice came from afar, and a scout soldier in Tsing Yi shouted in panic directly outside the door: "General! The whole army of Lin Dan and Xia Guo is attacking. The scouts came to report that the 40 troops have arrived It's only five hundred miles away from Ansheng!"

All of a sudden, all the joy came to an abrupt end, as if being cut off abruptly with a knife.

Lindan is adjacent to Qingyuan, so how can no one notice such a large-scale movement in Qingyuan?With such an important battle report, how come no news has been received from the two border gates so far?

In the darkness, Dianchen closed his eyes, feeling as if a place in his heart had collapsed.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He just felt Gu Qiao's body tremble slightly, and put his hand on the back of his hand.

That night, a memorial was sent to Jinling in a hurry for [-] li. Many horses died along the way, and finally the battle report was presented to the emperor.

The ruling and opposition parties were shocked, but some people made a big fuss about this matter, saying that Dian Chen was exaggerating.

After a lot of verbal battles, finally, someone was still afraid and suggested: "No matter what, you should prepare military rations first."

However, the Dayan court has been short of state treasury in recent years, and a lot of expenses have been made up from Qingyuan. In the past, the emperor still controlled Qingyuan. Now, King Tuozhen has taken over that land, and has gradually reduced the emperor's power over the years. And thin, the real power is firmly in the palm of your hand.

There are too many unpredictable variables in life. You don't know when the storm will come, how big the wave will be, and whether it will easily overturn everything you have in front of you.

At the beginning of August, after receiving the edict, the grain and grass transported by Qingyuan poured into the two gates of Beidi continuously, but when they opened it, people found that it was full of sand.

Only a small box was delivered to Dianchen's desk, inside which was a signed letter to Gu Qiao and a scroll of brocade silk.

Dian Chen opened the brocade silk, and saw the festive brocade wedding book with his and Nan Su's birthdays written on it, but the inscription was blank, waiting for his name to be signed.

Brother Six, do you want food?

Yes, you and I get married first, otherwise we won't have to open our mouths.

Gu Qiao stood behind Dianchen, and did not speak from the moment the box was brought in.

It seemed like a long time, but in fact it was only a moment. He picked up the letter and was about to open it, but was stopped by Dianchen.

Gu Qiao smiled slightly: "No, I'll take a look, this is for me after all."

After all, without waiting for Dianchen to respond, he opened the letter and took a look. A sheet of letter paper was full, but there was only one sentence, a sentence that Nan Su once said:

My things, you can hold fakes like this?
