He felt that he was played by the little girl in front of him.

He said with a cold face: "Aren't you afraid of death, why don't you make peace with Gu Jingyun, but die with him instead?"

"Because you're going to kill Jing Yun," Li Baolu cried, "I'm with him. He's dead, so of course I'm going to accompany him."

The emperor stared blankly at the girl who was hiccupping and out of breath from crying, and was on the spot.

He has also said and heard such love talk, but it is not with Concubine Lan Gui, but with the Queen.

At that time, he had just got married, and he took back his rights. When the spring breeze was in full swing, he lived a tender and sweet married life with the queen.

He said this kind of love story, and the queen who is now dignified and dignified was just a delicate and shy young woman back then, and she also told him.

But neither of them took it seriously, because as empresses, unless they were stabbed to death together, it was impossible for them to die together.

At this moment, when His Highness's little girl said this, her face was full of snot and tears, and her words were not tender, but the emperor knew that what she said was true, and she wanted to live and die with Gu Jingyun.

Immediately, the emperor lost his mood to tease them. After looking at her for a while, he waved and said, "Back off."

Li Baolu was still planning in her heart that she must ask the emperor to give them a decent death, and then when she would start to fight on the way to death, how to escape, how to avoid arrest after escaping from the palace, how to make up and go south, she planned what to do The smuggling boat went directly south to pick up the uncle and heard the emperor's words. She looked up in astonishment, and then she immediately realized that the emperor did not intend to kill them!

Li Baolu hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly followed Director Su to exit.

But they couldn't go out of the palace, and the emperor ordered Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu to be detained in the side hall of the East Palace.

The East Palace was abandoned when the Crown Prince moved out of the palace twenty years ago, and the side hall was even more deserted. Even if someone cleaned it every once in a while, a lot of dust still accumulated.

The guards who escorted Gu Jingyun and his wife locked all the entrances and exits of other palaces, leaving only a small door in this side hall to enter and exit, and then Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were thrown in.

With no change of clothes, no quilts, let alone other daily necessities, Li Baolu was full of worry, "The emperor doesn't want us to die of thirst, does he?"

Gu Jingyun glanced at her, pulled her into the hall, and asked, "Did you knock your forehead yourself? Why are you so stupid, and what did you tell him, why did he lock us up?"

Li Baolu glared at him and said, "If I didn't hit him, we would be decapitated now, but being locked up is already good. As long as we are alive, there is always hope to get out."

Gu Jingyun pursed his lips and asked, "Who told you that we are going to be decapitated?"

"Who else could it be? He said it, but I took the risk of interrupting him twice." After finishing speaking, she triumphantly described her performance in the imperial study, and finally looked at him nervously and said : "I specifically mentioned my little cousin to arouse his sympathy, but the effect didn't seem to be very good. He was still very angry in the end. Fortunately, he didn't want to kill us right away."

Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said nothing.

He couldn't bear to tell the silly girl the truth.

He never thought that the emperor would kill him, just because he is Qin Xinfang's nephew and the only bloodline recognized by the Qin family today, the emperor would not kill him.

The emperor who was stupefied in the past would not, and now the emperor who is gradually regaining his wisdom will not.

But if he is not killed, the other party can deprive him of his official position, forcibly terminate his relationship with Li An, and even drive him out of the capital, exile him like an uncle.

For him, there is no difference between leaving the capital and dying, because then he will be farther and farther away from his goal, and it will become almost impossible for him to share equally with his uncle.

That's why Gu Jingyun thought of the dangerous move and just pissed off the emperor, but it was a pity that he didn't see the emperor, and it was also lucky that he didn't see the emperor.

Otherwise, he would have pissed off the emperor, and he and Baolu would not have survived.

Looking at Shale's wife, Gu Jingyun patted her head and said, "Your fortune has always been profound, and it was right to bring you into the palace this time."

Although the silly girl did something wrong, but there are mistakes, and being under house arrest in the palace is much better than direct exile.

As long as he stayed in the capital, he still had a chance in the palace.

There was light in Gu Jingyun's eyes again, and he kept telling himself to endure, this time he must not be in such a hurry, he had to take his time.

Just as Gu Jingyun was thinking, Li Baolu was already spinning around the palace, and he didn't know how long they would be imprisoned. Of course, they had to get acquainted with their future residence first, and find an escape route. The emperor really wanted to wipe them out. , they can also escape faster.

Although the East Palace is deserted, a side hall is still very large, divided into three entrances, the side doors on both sides and the back door are sealed, leaving only a small corner door in front, and the door leading directly to the main hall is even more tightly sealed.

When the crown prince moved out of the East Palace, he didn't take away all the things in the East Palace. It's just that after twenty years, many things were unusable, and because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, there was a thick layer of dust in the house.

Fortunately, Li Baolu found an ancient well in the backyard of the side hall, and also found a spacious and well-equipped kitchen at the back, presumably before coming to this side hall, it was used to prepare meals for the prince and princess in the main hall.

Li Baolu is satisfied, the water in the ancient well may not be edible, but it can definitely be used for cleaning.

Li Baolu found two wooden barrels from the kitchen to fetch water, and finally pulled the barrels up. The edge of the wooden barrels cracked with a "bang", and the water shot on her body, and her dress was wet in one fell swoop. .

Li Baolu was bewildered, but Gu Jingyun pulled her away helplessly, glanced at the wooden barrel and said, "Everything that hasn't been used for twenty years is rotten."

"Then what do we use to hold water?"

"I'm going to find out the iron pot. It's more durable to hold things. You use another wooden bucket to fetch water, only half of it each time."

Immediately poured the water into the rusty iron pot, and then used it to clean the room. Fortunately, a lot of curtains were hung in the room to block the light, so as to prevent the furniture inside from being rotten by the light. Use as a rag.

If no one sent them supplies to keep out the cold, they could remove the curtains, wash them, and dry them to keep out the cold at night.

After all, in May in the capital, it is still cool at night.

Li Baolu was in good health, but Gu Jingyun couldn't starve and freeze.

Fortunately, the situation was much better. Before evening, some palace servants came to bring them dinner and a quilt.

Li Baolu immediately stopped them and said: "We don't have a change of clothes." She found a jade pendant from Gu Jingyun's body and put it in their hands, and asked shyly, "Can you please give us two sets of clothes, the simpler ones are fine. "

The jade pendant on Gu Jingyun was rewarded by the emperor, the key is that there is no mark on it and it can be sold.

The emperor made a natural and extraordinary product, and the palace servants who had been stuffed with the jade pendant by Li Baolu felt the shiny touch, hesitated for a moment and then nodded, and within an hour, they brought in a package, which contained two sets of palace clothes, one A court lady's, a set of eunuch's, no way, they can only find this kind of men's clothes.

As for the piece of jade pendant, it was reserved for the leader, and he would distribute it to everyone after taking the shot.

They are all idle personnel left by the Eastern Palace. After twenty years, they have had no extra income other than the routine rewards during the Chinese New Year. This time, seeing Li Baolu's generosity, they are all very satisfied and willing to give them convenience within their ability. .

So Li Baolu exchanged the money on her body for a washbasin, a wooden bucket and a good pot.

These things are naturally not expensive outside, but in the palace they cost all of Li Baolu's money.

So Li Baolu turned her gaze to Gu Jingyun, "How much money do you have?"

Gu Jingyun silently took out his purse, took off a jade plaque and put it on the purse, thought for a while and pulled out the jade hairpin on his head and put it on it, then said with disheveled hair: "That's all. "

Li Baolu stuffed all the money into her arms, and said regretfully, "If I had known this would happen, I should have brought all the money with me when I went out today. We just shared a huge sum of money."

Tens of thousands of taels, useless, useless, useless after death.

"Don't worry, the situation will get better and better." Someone will take care of them, let's not say that this is the East Palace, just his great-grandfather and uncle's connections in the palace will not make him suffer too much.

It may not be possible to rescue him, but it is still possible to take care of him in life.

What's more, this is the East Palace, even if the prince moves out, he still has people here.

Gu Jingyun was right, when they woke up the next morning, they were treated differently. The breakfast served included three dishes and one soup, and there was even a plate of after-dinner fruit, and someone brought them a can of tea.

Among the bundles handed over were their two sets of clean clothes, as well as small daily necessities. Li Baolu even found a purse hidden in the clothes, which contained a stack of small-value bank notes, each of which was only Twelve taels are obviously for them to reward and bribe people.

Li Baolu asked Gu Jingyun cautiously, "Is this a gift from the crown prince?"

Gu Jingyun gave a soft "hmm".

Li Baolu is still a little puzzled, "Why did the fourth prince assassinate you? Just because you urged the grandson to expose his meddling in military power? Isn't it stupid to kill you for what has happened and expose yourself in front of the emperor? "

"He's scared," Gu Jingyun said lightly, "It's not that I urged the grandson to expose his meddling in military power, but I ordered them to expose, Baolu, the crown prince's ostensible power is in the hands of Peng Dan, and Peng Dan is vacillating. He is a fool who is only interested in profit, and he is the only one who respects the crown prince, but everyone knows that he is also His Majesty's man. The crown prince doesn't dare to use him, and of course he didn't find out such a confidential matter."

And the prince still has a power that only he and the grandson can control, but in order not to let the emperor and Peng Dan notice, the prince and the grandson keep them lurking, so naturally they dare not instruct them to do too obvious things.

This time I was able to know the arrangement of the fourth prince in the army because of the cooperation between Gu Jingyun and the prince.
