lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of Zhu Xi!

The moonlight is picturesque, and the capital remains prosperous.

A branch of autumn osmanthus sticks out of the wall, thickly spreading the fragrance of flowers in the quiet night, and the autumn mood is getting deeper.

Gu Qingtang stood outside the hotel wall, lowered his head, folded a leaf, held it in his hand, brought it close to his lips, and slowly played a small tune.

"Who dares to be so arrogant outside the hotel?!"

Gu Qingtang smiled and threw the leaves aside, watching the back door of the hotel open and several cart guards rushing out.

"You...you are Gu Shaofu!" the cart guard exclaimed.

Gu Qingtang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Presumably the Imperial Master is not asleep yet."

"If you want to see the Imperial Master, why don't you do it from the main entrance?" the cart guard asked warily.

Gu Qingtang chuckled and said: "For some private matters, it would be a bit too ostentatious if we go through the front door."

"This..."

"There is work..."

"I really want to hear about Mr. Gu's so-called private affairs." A familiar voice sounded. She was wrapped in a fiery red fur, and Ye Na waved to the guards to step back and let Gu Qingtang come in, " Mr. Gu, please."

Gu Qingtang smiled lightly and walked over calmly, but stopped beside Ye Na and whispered: "It's best not to spread the news about me coming to see you tonight, so..."

"Oh, of course I understand these things." After Ye Na said with a smile, she gave the guards a look, "Search the surroundings, leaving no suspicious persons behind."

"Yes!"

Gu Qingtang smiled with satisfaction, "Master Imperial Master, please."

Yena chuckled, "Gu Shaofu, please."

In the guest room of the hotel, the guard on the cart respectfully served Ye Na and Gu Qingtang two cups of warm tea, and then withdrew knowingly.

Gu Qingtang quietly picked up the warm tea, took a small sip, and suddenly said, "Daling is better than Dachuch after all. At least, the people in Daling are gentler than the people in Dachuchi, and there is less wind and sand here. ”

Ye Na smiled and said: "The private things that Mr. Gu came to talk about late at night, are these gossips?"

Gu Qingtang put down the tea cup, his eyes were much softer than before, "Of course there are more than that."

"It's been a long night. In fact, Mr. Gu could have said less." Ye Na stood up suddenly, sat on Gu Qingtang's lap, hooked her neck with her hands, and her eyes were as warm as two A ball of flame, "There is indeed little wind and sand in Daling, but I have never tried the gentleness of Daling people."

Gu Qingtang sat up straight, with the smile still on his face, "Does the Imperial Master want to go back to the carriage?"

The smile on Ye Na's face froze, "What do you mean?"

There was a trace of pity in Gu Qingtang's eyes, "I just feel a little sorry for the Imperial Master, I'm afraid that I bet on the wrong person in this round." After a slight pause, Gu Qingtang got closer to Ye Na, "I'm afraid that in the end , you are in a worse situation than you are now."

Ye Na stiffened, "If Mr. Gu has something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"You obviously don't have to get involved in the chaos in Daling, but you insist on stepping in. I didn't understand it at first, but until today, I finally figured it out." Gu Qingtang said slowly, his eyes Ye Na never left Ye Na's eyes for a moment, "The eldest prince died in Daling. Although Daling's explanation is considered satisfactory, for you, you can't go back to Duche under any circumstances, no matter how many Khans there are. Although he likes you, he can't stop the nobles who support the eldest prince from killing you. Therefore, staying in Daling and never returning to the car is your only way to survive."

"Gu Shaofu analyzed the matter very clearly. Unfortunately, you are wrong." Ye Na nodded the tip of Gu Qingtang's nose and said with a smile, "Don't forget, there is a third prince beside me. , I don’t need to abandon the big car..."

"Really? I dare to ask, Sir, is the third prince in Daling now?" Gu Qingtang didn't wait for Ye Na to finish speaking, then exposed Ye Na's lies, "I was observing carefully outside the hotel today. I have been waiting for a long time, and if I am not completely sure, I will not come to have a private conversation with the Imperial Master tonight."

The smile on Ye Na's face froze again, "Gu Shaofu might as well get straight to the point!"

Gu Qingtang nodded and smiled, and stood up, but Ye Na's hand around her neck refused to be removed. She smiled bitterly and said: "If the third prince is still in Daling, what leverage do you have with us?" Your Majesty, where is the deal? If the third prince is still in the hotel, why do you rush out like a bird when I blow a leaf?"

Ye Na gritted her teeth and said: "Young Master Gu is really smart. Since he is a smart person, he should understand which direction the wind is blowing now."

Gu Qingtang shook his head and smiled: "In terms of military strength, your majesty cannot defeat the adoptive father, so he must take advantage of the situation. Since the little princess can't get married, he can only cede the territory. The third prince urgently needs something big. His meritorious service established his prestige, and he also needed a huge apology to dispel the grief of the eldest prince’s tragic death in Daling. Therefore, as long as the third prince sent his army to directly attack Daling under the guise of avenging his brother, he could justifiably win it. Several states. And your majesty can also use the third prince's rebellion to contain most of the adoptive father's troops and start a big battle in the capital, with at least a 40% chance of winning."

Ye Na sneered and said: "Since Mr. Gu has seen everything thoroughly, I can't understand the purpose of today's visit."

Gu Qingtang pulled her hand away with a little force, but asked softly, "Master Imperial Master, do you feel pain?"

Ye Na looked at Gu Qingtang in confusion, not knowing how to answer her words.

Gu Qingtang took her hand, lifted her arm very gently, and looked carefully at the inside of her arm. Sure enough, he found a small tattoo with the word "Slave" there, "What your Majesty needs is time, you What’s needed is respect.”

Ye Na glanced at Gu Qingtang in astonishment, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Oh, Mr. Gu, do you think these two words are easy to give?"

Gu Qingtang let go of his hand and sighed: "The slave girl in the cart is like cargo. The master can treat it how he wants. I can't imagine the hardships you have endured today, and I don't dare to guess." As he said, Gu Qingtang straightened Ye Na's clothes with his own hands, and looked at her with loving eyes for the first time, "You think that because you are the link between the third prince and His Majesty, you can make any agreement with His Majesty, then I can only tell you, in the end It will be all in vain.”

Ye Na felt a little sad in her heart and her vision was a little blurry, but she forced a smile and said, "Really?"

"Do you really have a good relationship with the third prince? Do you think His Majesty doesn't know this? He can use as much power as he can now. Even if you have these hundreds of chariot guards, he can't afford to throw it away. He has the power, so he will naturally agree to what you ask for." Gu Qingtang put his hands on her shoulders, "The so-called Jun Wu is just the most ridiculous lie in the world, what else can you lose? ?"

Ye Na laughed at herself, "So what? Do I have other options?"

"It may seem like there is no way out, but it is not really the case."

"You? Haha, you are also a **** in the game. What can you allow me?"

"But my adoptive father is a great captain. For this reason alone, what I said today is enough weight." After Gu Qingtang finished speaking, he let go of her shoulders and smiled lightly, "You should check and balance. Understand what is best for you at the moment."

"Checks and balances?" Ye Na thought about these two words carefully, then suddenly shook her head and smiled, "If Nian Taiwei wins this imperial power struggle and the third prince leads his troops to attack, I will definitely be defeated by Nian Taiwei. Capture the first one and tie him up to force the cart to retreat."

"As long as I'm here, who can catch you?" Gu Qingtang suddenly spoke seriously, standing in front of Ye Na calmly, making Ye Na feel a little dazed, but what she felt more was inexplicable peace of mind.

She smiled faintly, "Tsk, tsk, is this a promise given to me by Mr. Gu?"

"Do you want me to personally create a written document for the Imperial Master?" Gu Qingtang smiled and looked at the book case, "When the time comes, the written evidence in black and white will be your life-saving talisman."

"Gu Qingtang." Ye Na suddenly held her hand and looked at her quietly for a long time before asking, "I don't understand something."

Gu Qingtang's face swirled with a smile, "Do you want to ask me why I betrayed the emperor?"

"If Yin Chang'an seizes power, you are the emperor's consort and a relative of the emperor. It is better than spending your whole life as a lackey raised by Taiwei Nian's family. After all, you and Taiwei Nian are not related by blood."

"Your Majesty and I are not related by blood." Gu Qingtang shook his head and chuckled, "Even if we are related by blood, so what? Have you ever seen any brother who only used his sister as a chess piece? Do you even know that the eldest princess married After so many years in the Taiwei Mansion, why can’t I get pregnant?”

Ye Na stared in shock, "Isn't the eldest princess pregnant?"

"Oh, let me tell you a secret again, the Imperial Preceptor. The eldest princess is having her menstrual period in my residence. What do you think of this?"

"This...is...his tactic to delay the attack!"

Gu Qingtang said sternly: "What I hate the most in my life is people who climb up on women's backs! For this reason alone, I don't believe that he can keep his promise to you. After he had sex, you can You will stay in Daling for the rest of your life." As she spoke, she deliberately raised her voice, "Once you enter the palace gate, you think you will be safe forever after leaving the carriage? You should understand what I want to say to you."

Ye Na held Gu Qingtang's hand tightly and asked hesitantly, "Can you really keep me... safe?"

"Although I am not my adoptive father's biological son, my words and actions still have some weight." Gu Qingtang gently patted the back of Ye Na's hand, "It is not difficult to protect you."

"I want more than just survival!"

"Then what else do you want?"

"You...marry me!"

"This..."

"What? Can't do it?"

"Are you really happy to marry someone who doesn't love you?"

Gu Qingtang's cold rhetorical question made Ye Na let go of her hand indifferently.

"I already have a wife, and I will never let her down in this life." Gu Qingtang said solemnly, "I am here to tell the Imperial Master this tonight. I am not asking the Imperial Master to defect to me. I am just here to give the Imperial Master some advice. People, don’t risk half your life by mistake and fall into a worse situation.”

"..."

"Qingtang has given enough sincerity to the respect that the Imperial Preceptor demands. As for the final decision of the Imperial Preceptor, that is the Imperial Preceptor's business."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Yin Changan everything you said today?"

"It's not a big deal if I lose my life, but it's a big deal whether His Majesty will trust you in the future. How could the Imperial Master I know do such a stupid thing?" Gu Qingtang faced him respectfully. Ye Na bowed and said, "It's getting late, and Aning is still waiting for me to go home, so I'll say goodbye."

"Gu Qingtang, if the little princess knew that you were going to betray her royal brother and rebel with Nian Taiwei, how would she miss you?"

"In the beginning, I was a sycophant. In the end, I will be a sycophant too." Gu Qingtang smiled freely, "In fact, being a sycophant is not bad. At least I can protect whoever I want to protect. At least, I have the power in my hands. As for being controlled by others, I can’t help myself.”

Ye Na smiled solemnly and said seriously: "Gu Qingtang, if the little princess doesn't want you anymore, I want you!"

"Haha, these words of the Imperial Master are really tempting."

"As long as you don't dislike it..."

Gu Qingtang shook his head and said: "A woman shouldn't put herself so low and say something about whether she dislikes it or not. To be honest, the way you straighten your back and speak is far more charming than the way you look. Be three points more beautiful.”

"Is there any?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, look at yourself in the mirror?"

Ye Na followed Gu Qingtang's direction and looked into the bronze mirror, subconsciously straightening her back. She had not seen herself like this for many years.

"Gu..." Ye Na turned around and saw that Gu Qingtang had already stepped out of the wing, "If I believe what you said, what do you want me to do?"

"Do nothing, just wait and see what happens." Gu Qingtang turned around and smiled, the smile was warm, making Ye Na feel a little enlightened.

"But..."

"It is already dark. If a woman goes to bed late, she will age faster. By then, she will not look as good as she does now."

"You..."

"Farewell."
