At this time, Gu Hong was sitting leisurely in the courtyard basking in the sun in the Nine Princes' Mansion. The emperor not only imprisoned him in the Nine Princes' Mansion, but also sent many masters to monitor him secretly. His martial arts were so high, of course he could feel those things
For the existence of human beings, Gu Hong frowned at these things. He had always known that the royal family did not have the purest family affection.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Xi trotted in from outside.
"What's the matter, are you so flustered?" Gu Hong raised his eyelids slightly!
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived! He is almost at the palace!" Wang Xi was naturally worried about his master. There were some things he didn't understand very well. He just hoped that the Emperor would not embarrass his master too much!
"Ha... let's pick him up!" Gu Hong sneered and stood up, straightening his regular clothes. Although they were fine brocade, they were not royal attire. But he liked to be so casual.
Feel.
"My lord, don't you change your clothes?" Wang Xi reminded him!
"I think the emperor prefers me dressed like this!" After saying that, Gu Hong went to the gate.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Gu Hong disliked the eunuch's spooky voice. Although he had grown up in the palace and was used to hearing such voices, he still didn't like it from the bottom of his heart.
"My dear brother, I respectfully welcome the emperor, long live my emperor!" Gu Hong knelt down at the door to greet the emperor, but he didn't want to look at the emperor!
"Ninth brother, please get up!" The emperor glanced at Gu Hong and walked inside. A group of people walked in arrogantly. This time when they came to the Nine Prince's Mansion, the emperor brought many people with him. I don't know if he was afraid of Gu Hong.
Or for the sake of his own dignity.
Gu Hong stood up and followed the emperor to the hall of the mansion. After the emperor sat down, he motioned for the maid to serve tea. When the tea was served, the emperor wanted to pick it up and taste it, but was stopped by the eunuch on the side, who held a silver coin in his hand.
Needle. "Your Majesty, please test the poison!"
"No need for that!" The emperor looked at Gu Hong with a smile on his face!
Gu Hong cupped his hands and saluted: "Please ask the emperor to test the poison. Although this is my brother's palace, the tea is not made by my own hands, so it is better to be cautious!"
The emperor's smile grew stronger and he winked at the eunuch. The eunuch stirred the tea cup with a silver needle. After everything was normal, he handed it back to the emperor. The emperor didn't drink it, but just put it back on the table.
.
"I wonder what the emperor has to do when he comes to my brother's house?" Gu Hong got straight to the point. He didn't like those colorful intestines the most.
"All of you, please retreat!" The emperor retreated everyone and ordered the door to be closed.
"Ninth brother, it's been a long time since you and I had a good talk!"
"emperor......"
"There is no one else here, why should Ninth Brother be so unfamiliar? I am your royal brother!"
Hearing this, Gu Hong laughed in his heart. In the past, his brotherhood was never missed. At that time, he assisted the emperor in ascending the throne, but now, times have changed!
"Brother I don't dare!"
"Alas! Ninth brother, are you angry at me for imprisoning you? You must know that this matter is of great importance. Our royal family has lost all its face. Fifth brother is sincerely trying to make me lose face like this!" Your Majesty!
The fifth prince was angry when he mentioned it, obviously he was very concerned about it.
"My dear brother, I don't dare. My dear brother, I have been tired for many years. It would be better to have a good rest in the mansion!"
"It would be great if you could think so!" The emperor stood up, walked to Gu Hong, took his arm and sat down on a chair beside him. "Ninth brother, I know that you and Mo Jinran are on good terms.
, Could it be that you knew she was a woman?"
"I don't know!"
"I don't know? Why did you cover her escape?" How could the emperor believe it?
Gu Hong remained silent, he could not explain this problem.
"Ninth brother, have you fallen in love with her?" The emperor seemed to be questioning, but he also confirmed the answer!
"What's the matter? Did the Imperial Brotherhood pardon her crime and let her marry into the palace?" Gu Hong finally looked at the emperor, eager to know the answer. Maybe, the emperor's permission means that they are serious.
It's easy to have brothers.
"Ninth brother, are you confused?" There was anger in the emperor's eyes!
"Haha, my brother is confused. I don't know if my brother has ever really liked someone!"
Because of these words, cracks appeared in the emperor's eyes. "I am the emperor, how can I have too many emotions? Even if I do, I cannot be influenced by my emotions!"
Everyone has love, but some people will love it with their lives, and some people will give up this love for their other desires. For example, money, such as power. Especially for someone like the emperor, who is aloof and above.
People will never take this kind of love to heart. The throne is the most important thing!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Gu Hong lowered his head and said. He didn't want to look at this increasingly ruthless imperial brother, and the brotherhood between them would never be restored.
"Ninth brother, do you know that the legendary gold pendant is in the hands of Mo Jinran?" The emperor said with a gloomy face and very cautiously. This was also his biggest pain and worry.
Gu Hong's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface there was no disturbance at all. "How did the legendary gold pendant fall into her hands?"
"You really don't know?" The emperor did not completely believe it.
"My brother, I don't know!" Gu Hong's face turned cold. Even if he is the emperor, he has reasoned with it and will not look down upon it if it goes too far.
"Okay! I believe you!" After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up and walked back to the throne, with a condescending look. "I know that you had a good relationship with her before, and I allow you to go find her..."
The emperor paused when he said this!
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"
The emperor showed an unclear smile: "Ninth brother, the golden pendant is the national treasure of Canfeng. I think you will sit back and ignore it. With the golden pendant, Canfeng can have peace and prosperity for the country and the people. For me and the people,
I hope you go and find it!"
Hearing this, Gu Hong couldn't help but sneer in his heart. "Your Majesty, I think I don't have this ability!"
"Is Ninth Brother unwilling? Mo Jinran's martial arts is so strong that only Ninth Brother can compete with him. Does Ninth Brother want to disregard the whole world?"
"Your Majesty, you really praise me too much. You have countless masters in your hands, but I am nothing more than a three-legged cat!"
Gu Hong's repeated refusals made the emperor's face darken, and he stared at Gu Hong with gloomy eyes! "In this case, I won't force my ninth brother! Come on, drive back to the palace!"
The rejection was unexpected for the emperor. He did not expect that Gu Hong would be so bold. He was not only surprised, but also angry.
"Ninth Prince, why did the emperor leave so angry? What should we do?"
Everyone saw that Long Yan was furious, so Wang Xi asked Gu Hong worriedly.
Gu Hong couldn't help but smile and said: "Why are you anxious, there are people who are more anxious than you!" Gu Hong is not worried, but the emperor wants to deal with him, but not at this time. Because now in his heart, the more important thing is to find the gold.
wear.
However, he also has more important things to investigate now. Over there is how the emperor learned so much.
Of course the Fifth Prince told part of the story, but he didn't know so much. Knowing that Mo Jinran was a daughter, and knowing that there were only a handful of people wearing gold on her body, the first thing Gu Hong thought of was Ruoying. This woman made him hate
The trouble Ruoying brought to Mo Jinran made him want to tear her into pieces.
Night is approaching, and the lights in Gu Hong's bedroom have been turned off.
He quickly put on a pair of night clothes, opened the window a little, and looked outside. A cold smile appeared on his lips, and then he turned around and walked to his bed. He lay down on the bed as if he was about to sleep, and pointed his fingers.
Gently pulling the switch beside the bed, the entire bed board rotated, and he reached the secret passage.
This Nine Prince's Palace was given to him by the late emperor. At that time, he was a prince, and the emperor was also a prince. As usual, every prince must move out of the palace when he reaches adulthood, and the emperor gives him a mansion.
The late emperor was very healthy, so he did not want to appoint a prince early, but he already had a candidate for the prince in his mind. This person was Gu Hong, who was still young, so in order to ensure Gu Hong's safety, there were many things that the Nine Princes Palace did not do.
Something people know!
Gu Hong walked straight from the secret passage for about two quarters of an hour, and then went out from a secret exit, which was outside the mansion. He jumped out and looked back at his mansion. There were the auras of several masters not far away.
, but it doesn’t matter.
Gu Hong did not hesitate and went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Today's Five Princes' Mansion is no longer what it used to be. If you lose the golden pendant, you will lose your glory and wealth. Now the emperor will deduct the money that the prince deserves from him. What's more, he has made the emperor lose his face, and the emperor is even more looking for it.
The opportunity presented itself to the Fifth Prince.
However, the Fifth Prince was not unhappy at all because of this. These were not things he cared about. The original money in his house was enough for him to live a lifetime of luxury.
Gu Hong was also familiar with the Fifth Prince's Mansion. He had paid special attention to the incident involving Mo Jinran, so he easily got into the Fifth Prince's room.
The fifth prince was sleeping soundly, and his slight snoring made Gu Hong couldn't help but sneer. "Brother the fifth prince really slept peacefully!" He walked to the fifth prince's bed and pushed his body. The fifth prince opened his hazy sleepy eyes.
, looking at Gu Hong in the darkness.
"Nine Emperor Brother, why are you here?" He was startled and sat up quickly. This subconscious action proved that he was actually afraid of Gu Hong.
"I just want to ask the Fifth Prince about something!" Gu Hong left his bedside. Although they were also brothers, he had an instinctive rejection of the Fifth Prince who had his sleeves cut off. In this era, it was abnormal to have his sleeves cut off.
Yes, homosexuality is not accepted.
The fifth prince sat up from the bed and wanted to light the candle, but Gu Hong stopped him!
"Brother Five Emperors, there is no need to call for help, I won't touch you!"
"...Am I still afraid of you?" The fifth prince was speaking harshly. Even when he had not lost the golden pendant before, Gu Hong never gave him face, let alone now that he was abandoned by the emperor?
"I know you're not afraid. Stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you, how did you know that Mo Jinran was a woman?" Gu Hong's sharp eyes stared at the fifth prince, making him tremble!
