I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth

Chapter 22 The Moon

◎To this day. ◎

The accident happened in an instant.

He Liansheng hadn't reacted when the Imperial Forest Army surrounded him.

His hand was cold, and was quickly held by the other hand. He paused for a moment, turned his face stiffly, and saw Gu Yuan with his lips pursed and expressionless.

In the next second, he heard He Lianjin's voice.

"Catch him." He put away the arrow and said calmly, "Be careful not to hurt the second prince."

"Why arrest me!" Dugu Ze was pressed to the ground by a group of imperial guards, he gritted his teeth, "I am an envoy from Northern Yin, is this how Liang Chu treats guests?"

He Liansheng's hand moved.

Then, he realized that the hand holding him was a little tighter.

He raised his head in a daze, and saw not far away, under the sun, the high throne.

Just now, he was still worried whether the old man was frightened.

But right now, he saw the emperor sitting on the throne against the light.

His brows and eyes still looked a little tired and old, but his face was still deep and peaceful.It was as if everything was as he expected.

he is……

The most majestic king in the world.

Hearing Dugu Ze's questioning, there was no reaction on his face, he just took the tea offered by the little eunuch, took a sip, and then calmly opened his mouth:

"The second prince also said it." He said slowly, "Liang Chu, he is waiting for guests."

Dugu Ze looked at him with a gloomy expression.

The emperor rubbed his temples: "Jin'er."

"Yes."

He Lianjin bowed to answer, then took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Duguze.

"On this piece of paper." He Lianjin's voice was very gentle, "It's Liang Chu's 'guest' sent by the Second Prince."

"This person is quite clever, and it took a lot of time for the Overwatch Council to catch him." He laughed, "It's just that there must be a secret in every secret."

"After he arrived at the Overwatch Council, the Overwatch Council used many methods to make him open his mouth. This is his final confession. It described in detail how the second prince saw off the 'guests' in the capital, and how he got along with him. The foreign enemy secretly communicated the song."

"After that, the Overwatch Council went through some special channels to verify these one by one. It has to be said that the second prince is indeed very cautious, and the method of interrogation... is really unexpected."

"Second prince, take a look, is there any omission?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Dugu Ze's face changed, but even the courtiers present were whispering.

He Lianjin's words were quite skillful.

On the one hand, in order to take care of the existing relationship between Liang Chu and Northern Yin, he didn't explain the details too clearly.

But on the other hand...

Almost everyone present understood what happened.

He Liansheng froze in place, his mind suddenly went blank.

After a long time, he raised his eyes in a daze, and there was only Helian Heng's worried and anxious gaze.

The situation is changing rapidly, once there is a start, everything that follows will be logical.

All the contact points of Dugu Ze in the capital were sealed up one by one, including tea houses, flower houses, and some underground gambling houses.

The Yulin Army also discovered a secret Northern Yin army brought by Dugu Ze in the suburbs.It is conceivable that if the news is not detected in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Everything is happening with lightning speed.

Dugu Ze was put into a soft prison. After all, he was the Northern Yin royal family, and no one made things difficult for him. He was treated with courtesy in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It's just that outside the soft prison, the urgent Feige transmission of eight hundred miles has already arrived in Beiyin.

At the same time, there were also tens of thousands of soldiers from Liang Chu outside.

They Chen Bing was outside the boundary line between Liang Chu and Northern Yin, and they could drive straight in after waiting for an order.

In the palace, Concubine Lan Gui, who favored the sixth palace, was deprived of her title, demoted to promise, and placed under house arrest in the palace.

Before the house arrest, this gorgeous princess took off her hairpin for the first time, knelt in plain clothes and pleaded guilty all night in front of the imperial court, but she still couldn't see Sheng Jia.

The Dugu clan fell suddenly and completely, like a building about to collapse.

And the friendship between Bei Yin and Liang Chu that had accumulated for hundreds of years was finally shattered at this moment.

Instead, there are straightforward and sharp conflicts of interest and contradictions on the table.

On this day, the eunuch who passed the decree in the palace came to Gu's residence.

The Gu family was the main contributor to this incident, so the eunuch who passed the decree was very polite to the Gu family:

"Master Gu, Your Majesty has asked you to enter the palace."

"I know it."

Gu Yetan leaned over to salute.

Then, he hesitated for a moment, and first gave the other party a little money.

The eunuch who passed the decree moved his eyes, stuffed the silver into his sleeve, and then smiled at Gu Yetan:

"Does Master Gu have anything to ask?"

Gu Yetan paused for a moment, and said softly: "I don't know what the Holy Majesty is doing to His Royal Highness King Yu..."

Compared with Concubine Lan Gui, who was deprived of her title in the palace, King Yu was only given a foot restraint lightly, and there was no more sound.

King Yu didn't participate in politics very much, and he didn't have a real job. Most people in the government and the public murmured in their hearts, and no one said much.

The eunuch glanced at him lightly, and smiled: "Master Gu is really eager to love his son."

He paused, Gu Yetan understood and moved closer.

"Your Majesty hasn't mentioned King Yu these two days. I don't know if he forgot or... our family can't fathom the holy will." The eunuch said softly, "It's just that even that... Your Majesty loved him so much earlier, he also said that he was under house arrest." Then he was placed under house arrest, this time, the Holy One was determined to take the opportunity to beat Bei Yin, but perhaps he never spared his hand."

"Master Gu is an important minister of the country. Previously... His Majesty must have felt guilty. If you find the right time, what Master Gu thinks in your heart may not be impossible."

Hearing this, Gu Yetan felt a lot more at ease.

"Thank you father-in-law."

"Your Majesty Gu is very polite." The eunuch Chuanzhi smiled, "The two young masters of Gu's family are both dragons and phoenixes among the people. When they are in the court, they will have to rely on you and the two young masters."

After finishing speaking, he blessed himself slightly and left immediately.

When his figure disappeared at the door, Wu Lanxian looked at Gu Yetan with a hesitant expression.

"Master." She said softly, "Wouldn't this... be bad?"

"When His Royal Highness Prince Yu wanted to marry Yuan'er, he never asked the Gu family if he was okay." Gu Yetan said calmly, "If you can take this opportunity to break up the engagement between the two, it's not too late. Enter the palace."

He looked at Wu Lanxian, and said: "You also help to look at it recently. If there is a suitable lady from a famous family, pay more attention."

Wu Lanxian hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Gu Yetan breathed a sigh of relief as the biggest hidden danger in his heart was about to be resolved.

"By the way." He remembered something, "Where's Yuan'er? I haven't seen him for the past two days."

Wu Lanxian shook her head.

Gu Yetan was startled, then frowned.

When He Liansheng woke up from the dream, it was almost evening.

The sun has already set, and the faint glow of the sunset can be seen from the car window.He sat on the bed and looked at it calmly for a while, when the door was gently pushed.

Gu Yuan came in against the light, saw that he was awake, and paused.

"Dinner is ready in the kitchen." He whispered, "Wake up and eat?"

He Liansheng slowly looked away.

"I want to enter the palace." He said softly, his voice a little hoarse.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes.

He Liansheng's favorite incense was burning in the room, and the young man with a delicate and beautiful face was sitting on the bed with only a thin underwear left.

His long hair was untied and draped over his shoulders, making his face pale and calm.

Gu Yuan paused.

"Your uncle has connections with Sui Xi, and he went to the Liang and Chu sects to work carefully. There is already conclusive evidence." He said, "The arrogance of Xia Lie is a trivial matter. He colluded with foreign enemies and intends to threaten the border. Your Majesty... can't bear it."

"I know." He Liansheng said quietly.

Of course he knew.

The moment He Lianjin spoke, he knew that Dugu Ze had lost his head and gone astray.

Regardless of the conflicts between Bei Yin and Liang Chu, there is still a friendship hundreds of years ago, and they cannot be torn apart.

He actually knew that in recent years, due to disasters and frequent border invasions, Bei Yin was overwhelmed, and there were many voices of dissatisfaction within the clan, but he did not expect that Dugu Ze would do this.

To collude with foreign enemies is to use the people of Northern Yin and Liang Chu as bargaining chips, and they are sinners who will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

He knows all this.

He was just thinking.

So……

What about Duguya?

"My mother and concubine married Liang Chu at the age of 17." He moved his lips, a little dazed, "He knows that she has no relatives in Liang Chu, and she stayed in the deep palace because of him."

"When I was young." He said softly, "She often told me that she was homesick, but she couldn't go back."

"Although she has a straightforward temperament, I know that she is actually kind. If she knew that uncle would do this, she would definitely not agree."

"...she doesn't know anything."

"However, she is the princess of the Northern Yin clan." Gu Yuan said.

He Liansheng raised his eyes.

His eyes were calm and there were no tears.He was not surprised by Gu Yuan's words.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips tightly.

He Liansheng is very smart, he knew it before.Be it political or otherwise...

He doesn't, and it's always just because he wants to.

What he said, those unfinished meanings, in fact, He Liansheng had already figured it out.

After a while, He Liansheng hooked his lips.

"She is the princess of Beiyin, and half of Beiyin's blood is bleeding on my body." He smiled, "So, she and I are the best, holding back and beating Beiyin's 'hostages'."

"He won't really send troops to Bei Yin. Because the Bei Yin people are also his people. So, my concubine mother and I came in handy. Isn't it?"

"Gu Yuan, guess." He said softly, "Back then my mother and concubine were the only ones to be favored..."

"Is it because he really likes her? Or is it because... At that time, he had just ascended the throne, the government and the opposition were unstable, and he needed Bei Yin's support?"

and also……

he.

He has known for a long time that as long as there is an extra choice, because of his Northern Yin blood, there must be no possibility of competing for the reserve.

Northern Yin is too special.

The friendship from hundreds of years ago has long since become thin.

The rest is only the exchange of benefits.

Liang Chu needed the Northern Yin to guard the border and the strong support of the Northern Yin.But at the same time, if Bei Yin is too powerful, it will become a wolf that can bite Liang Chu back at any time.

Liang Chu needed Bei Yin to be a domesticated tiger, not a lone wolf.

He already knew this, so he never thought about it.

but……

Where is his father?

Dreaming back at midnight, did he also think about whether his son would threaten his future heir after a hundred years?

Those connivance and pampering, do they really come from liking, or...

Deliberate indulgence?

He Liansheng pursed his lips tightly.

"Your Highness." Gu Yuan closed his eyes and called him softly.

"Don't think about it." He tried to smile, "Let's eat first."

Helian Sheng didn't move.

"Go and eat." He said, "I'll..."

Think about it.

He wanted to figure it out over and over again.

Although, he already has the answer.

"Go and eat." He exhaled, and smiled at Gu Yuan, "You...have been tired for a long time, don't worry about me, I'll just get up and eat later."

After returning from Xia Lie, Gu Yuan has been with him all the time, almost never leaving.

This was what he wanted most in the past, but right now, he really couldn't muster up his energy to respond to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan didn't force it.

"It's okay." He stood up. "The food is probably cold now. I'll ask them to heat it up. I'll bring it over later. I'll eat with you."

Seeing that He Liansheng still wanted to talk, he let out a sigh of relief, "...you can't do without eating, be obedient."

He Liansheng was silent for a moment, then nodded.

When Gu Yuan went out, he buried himself back in the quilt, stared at the faintly dancing candles in the room, and fell into a daze.

Gu Yuan was really kind to him.

he thinks.

but……

This time, I am afraid that I will implicate him.

Thinking of this, he let out a breath, closed his eyes, and planned to rest his mind.

He can't fall.

He can't control Dugu Ze anymore, it depends on the negotiation between Bei Yin and Liang Chu, but Dugu Ya only has him as a relative.

These two days...

She must be very sad.

The people in the palace didn't know if they would make trouble.

Don't take a look for yourself.

He was worried.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes.

Just a moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Qiuyue." He said softly.

"Your Highness, I'm here." The maid outside hurried in, "Is Your Highness hungry, do you want to..."

"Did there be any news from the palace in the past two days." He said firmly, "For example...except for the secret work, what method did my uncle use to send the message?"

"This..." Qiuyue said with some embarrassment, "I have never heard of it."

He Liansheng closed his eyes.

wrong.

If it is just to deter Bei Yin, there is no need to put him and Dugu Ya under house arrest.Both of them are in the capital, which is the best "cage" in itself.

There should be only one reason for putting him and Duguya under house arrest.

That is, the two of them are currently unable to wash away their relationship with Dugu Ze, at least...

It cannot be washed off on the surface.

Dugu Ze came to the capital from Northern Yin, and he has never met Dugu Ya, let alone contacted her.

When He Lianjin negotiated with Duguze at the beginning, she said that Duguze's method of communication was unexpected...

His pupils shrank.

"Where's the letter my uncle sent me?" He said, "Get it for me."

"Your Highness, have you forgotten?" Qiuyue said cautiously, "Young Master Gu said he wanted to read those letters, so you asked your servant to find them for him. Right now, they should be with Young Master Gu."

He Liansheng looked at her, his mind went blank for a moment.

"He... said he wanted to see it?" He whispered, "It seems to be the case. He said..."

He said, Your Highness, I also want to see the customs of Northern Yin.

Your Highness, would you like to open your eyes?

When he said this, that person was so good-looking.

Beautiful and gentle, like the bright moon hanging in the sky when he first saw him.

He hardly gave it a second thought.

Like.

To this day, he has never thought about it.

He and Gu Yuan are already married.

Why did the Dugu family fall, but the Gu family still...

Unscathed.
