After Dawn Chapter 133: Pursuit (3)

"Master—"

Gu Bei's footsteps stepped out and retracted. The man standing with his hands behind his back under the moonlight was a little thin.

In the past few days, because of Su Qingran's incident, Dugujin has been rapidly emaciated, his face is so thin that he can hardly see any flesh, and his eyes are deeply sunken. When you are stared at by him At times, I will not feel tenderness, but I will only feel that there is a bottomless abyss hidden in those eyes.

"Gu Bei, you said, why did the emperor do this?" This is the thing that Du Gujin couldn't understand the most.

Gu Bei squeezed the paper in his hand.

Without hearing a response, Dugujin turned his head and asked, "Gubei, what are you doing to me?"

Gu Bei handed over the paper in his hand and said, "Maybe you will understand after reading this."

Dugu Jin took the paper in his hand with doubts. There were only a few simple words on it. By the moonlight, he read it clearly.

——Destiny Phoenix.

"Haha...haha..." Dugujin suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, "What a fateful phoenix, what a..."

Gu Bei did not speak.

The Phoenix of Destiny is a rumor that appeared very early in the Dugu Dynasty.

I heard that the Phoenix of Destiny is carrying a lot of luck. If anyone can get the Phoenix of Destiny, they can sit on the throne of the emperor, and if the Phoenix of Destiny is in the position of the queen, they will be able to keep the world safe. , the country is in good weather, and the people are happy at home. However, women with this kind of fate are rare. In the history of the Dugu Dynasty, there have only been three queens of the Destiny Phoenix, but all the dynasties they belonged to were not from the Dugu Dynasty. heyday.

The royal family of the Dugu Dynasty had a very strict control over the fate of the Destiny Phoenix. Once they found out that if they could not marry into the palace, they would rather create all kinds of accidents and cause the Destiny Phoenix to die unexpectedly, because there were rumors, If the Phoenix of Destiny did not voluntarily marry the emperor, not only would it not have the effect of stabilizing the country's fortunes, but it would be possible that the grievances of the Phoenix of Destiny would cause unrest in the country and uneasy people's livelihood.

When Dugujin planned to marry Su Qingran, he was anxious, but if he asked the officials of Qin Tianjian to calculate Su Qingran's fate, he would have to wait until a certain time. Dugujin didn't care whether Su Qingran was or not. Wangfu, whether there is a wealthy and noble appearance, even if she is a husband, he will not marry her, but what never expected is that Su Qingran's fate is not only bad, but too good...

Destiny Phoenix...

"Hahahaha... Destiny Phoenix... I am so fortunate to be able to get the favor of Destiny Phoenix..."

No wonder, no wonder the emperor would take action against Su Qingran. He must have thought that he had some conspiracy to marry Su Qingran, so he sent someone to check her fate, and happened to find out her identity as the phoenix of destiny. Maybe, in the emperor's heart at this time, his younger brother has been planning to rebel for a long time with ulterior motives. Once he returns to Beijing, there will definitely be a net of heaven and earth waiting for him.

But brother Huang, do you know that for me, the whole world is not as good as Su Qingran's frown and smile, so what about the phoenix girl of destiny? With her, I just want to get rid of my armor and return to the field, and finally stay with her, how can I let the secular affairs of the court delay me and her for a hundred years.

"Gu Bei, inform Gu Nan and Gu Dong that you can start."

Since you want me to overthrow your world, if you don't do something for you to see.

Brother Huang, how do you know that even if your younger brother doesn't have the Destiny Phoenix, he can still pull you down from that position.

Since then, the ten-year civil unrest of the Dugu Dynasty began.

……

"Your Majesty, those ministers outside are urging you to choose a concubine again."

"Hehe, I didn't dare to fart when one or two of the droughts, floods, and floods, but when it comes to taking care of other people's housework, it's quite loud," Dugujin sneered, "All the ministers who shouted, all sent me to the bitter cold. I think they are too busy, so they have the energy to take care of the affairs of these seven aunts and eight aunts.”

"But Your Majesty, it's all old officials, you do this..."

"Is it going to chill people's hearts?" Dugu raised his eyebrows, and then a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face, "How could I need their hearts?"

"Their hearts are too old to be fried to eat."

His words have been made clear, the **** who came to report wisely withdrew, but in his heart he shook his head for the few old officials outside the door who were trying to force the emperor to marry based on their seniority and age.

They are all people who are about to go into the ground, but now they have been demoted because of such a thing. I don't know if they can stand the bumps on the road. It's gone half way.

"Hey..."

But these things, how can he manage.

……

Dugu Jing's harem is actually not completely empty. There is at least one empress in it, but this empress has been living in a secluded place since she entered the palace, and she is rarely seen throughout the year except for the New Year's Eve. The figure, but thanks to the existence of this empress, Dugujin has been hiding for a few years, but this empress has not come out for so many years. Although she is the only one in the harem, Dugujin has no intention of standing up, so everyone Only then did he turn his mind to the back position again.

It was just dawn, and a red soft-top sedan was waiting outside the palace gate. Just as the guards opened the palace gate, a golden token was handed over.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Gu, please."

A slender, light-white hand took back the token and put it back into the car curtain, only to hear a soft sound.

"Let's go."

At the same time, at the gate of the Emerald Palace, which was closed all the year round, an old palace maid opened the door, looked around, and stood in front of the gate. Soon, the woman who came out of the red arrogant was welcomed in.

"Mrs. Gu, are you here?"

"How is Sister Jade?" asked the woman called Mrs. Gu.

"In the past few days, the weather has alternated between hot and cold, and the weather has changed suddenly. The lady's body is a little cold and she is coughing, but she has already seen the imperial doctor and prescribed medicine."

"The weather in Beijing is like this," Madam Gu said. "You are all old people in the palace. Sister Feicui's health has never been very good. You should pay more attention to such weather, and sometimes don't let her alone. The temperament, after all, at this age, not as young as when..."

"Ruo'er, who's old?" Yingying, a woman dressed in a green palace dress, came over and said with a sullen smile on her face. Mrs. Gu stepped forward and took her hand. Her fingertips were cold, and the chill penetrated into her bones.

She couldn't help but put on a reproachful look on her face: "It's you, who are in their thirties now, still think of themselves as that fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl? You don't know your own body yet. , don't take good care of it, look at this hand, what ice has become."

"Oh my good Ruo'er, you don't understand," Jade Jade said, holding her hand, "the flowers in front of the court are blooming these few days, looking at them, I have the urge to write poetry and paint, I give Look at the poems I have written these days, have I made great progress?"

"The past few days have been very cold in the spring, so you are admiring flowers and writing poems in front of the court?" Madam Gu frowned and rebuked, "Sister Feicui, why are you so childish?"

"I know my Ruo'er has grown up," Jade said with a smile, reaching out to touch her belly, Madam Gu's face turned red, and she immediately understood, "Ruo'er, the child in this belly is afraid Is it five months?"

Mrs. Gu nodded.

"My family Ruo'er is still that little girl in my eyes. I didn't expect that it's time to give birth to a child. Your husband is a very good person." Jade said, pinching Madam Gu's roundness. Face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the color on your face has gotten better. They all say that pregnant women will become ugly. I see, those women are not such a good husband as Ruo'er, and they take care of you like a baby. "

"Sister Feicui, isn't your Gubei also a good husband?" With no one around, Mrs. Gu no longer had so many scruples.

"He..." When it comes to Gubei, Fei Cui's face is a little melancholy. Back then, Dugu Jin's harem was empty. In order to stop the ministers from talking, she was sealed as a concubine, but now Dugu Jin force The more powerful you are, there is no need to choose a concubine under the pretext of true love for her, so her usefulness is getting smaller and smaller, but she is in love with Dugujin's subordinate Gu Beirijiu, "You know what? , I'm from... ah... Although I have been blessed by the Holy Spirit and given a lot of elixir, but I am..."

Before her words were finished, Mrs. Gu already understood that when Feicui was in Hongyuelou, she had already been drugged by Hongyue and lost her ability to reproduce forever. Now, even if Gubei searched for famous doctors for her, she could not completely Reversing the body that had hurt the foundation long ago.

"But if you have a child, it's the same as if I had a child. You and I are like sisters. Your child is my child..." When Mrs. Gu was still sad, Feicui quickly became When he came back to his senses, he said with hope in his eyes, "In the future, when this child is born, he must worship me as his goddaughter."

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll be waiting for your reward from Empress Jade."

"Poor mouth. It's time to fight. I just said I'm old..."

"Yeah, I also remembered that just now, Niangniang said that she was watching flowers and painting in front of the court. I don't know if Lord Gubei knows about this..."

"Ruo'er, good Ruo'er, it's good if you know about this kind of thing... I'll never dare again..."

……

"Gu Ming, how are things in Jiangcheng handled?"

"Back to the emperor, Wei Chen found Qi, but he has been dead for many years. Wei Chen got the news from a small mountain village near Jiangcheng. I heard that he was covered in blood and carried a burnt person into the hospital. When I came to the village, I think it should be Miss Su, but..." His voice suddenly became a little heavy, "The doctor in the village said that the person's burns were too severe, and he passed away after only three days."

Dugujin on the dragon chair closed his eyes and collapsed suddenly.

From Hongyue's confession, he learned that in order to make him think that Su Qingran was burned to death in the fire, after they imprisoned Su Qingran and Qi, they set a fire again, hoping to bring the two to death. After the person was burned to death, the bones were sent into the basement of the Su family's house, which was covered by the ruins, but he didn't expect Qi to fight back desperately, and escaped with Su Qingran, who was almost burned to coke and only breathed.

Dugu can't imagine what kind of pain Su Qingran died in those days.

Perhaps at the last second of closing her eyes, what she was calling was A Jin, who had not returned for a long time.

"Ah-"
