"If you are just one person, you won't ruin a big deal."
Didn't take her words to heart, Gu Lieyang cared more about the news he had just heard. Someone caught Mo Lanyue and Lei talking and laughing together, but I don't know what he was talking about. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener
But it was intentional. He would not doubt Mo Lanyue's loyalty to him, but... what is there to talk about with Gu Liefeng? He always cared a little in his heart.
"Xiaoyue, did you meet the Fourth Emperor's Brother yesterday?"
"Your Highness is too relaxed to have a dragging his back and overturn the entire boat at any time. But you shouldn't be working hard on these things, so I just said casually, I will find a way to solve them myself.
.”
Her face was frowned like an old lady, and the so-called frown was about her current state. If Nangong Yin’s affairs could not be solved, she always felt that it was a big hidden danger.
"Xiaoyue, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Well……"
Did he ask her something just now? Mo Lanyue looked at him in surprise, her eyes were really innocent.
Gu Lieyang was not bothered her and patiently repeated his question.
"I said, did you meet the Fourth Emperor's Brother yesterday?"
Mo Lanyue was not surprised why Gu Lieyang knew what happened in the palace. In the palace, there were eyeliners of various masters everywhere. Although the masters had not seen many things with his own eyes, there were always people who would like to say.
They report.
She nodded, "I met it when I was out for a walk, and I had a few chats."
When Mo Lanyue thought of Gu Liefeng, she always felt strange in her heart, and she couldn't tell why. When she thought of Gu Liefeng's familiar face, she felt very strange.
Mo Lanyue approached Gu Lieyang and looked at his facial features carefully. Gu Lieyang looked a bit similar to Gu Liege, but compared with Gu Liefeng, the two were completely different styles, and in terms of personality, they also had them.
There is a big difference, the only thing that is that Gu Lieyang and Gu Liefeng are both interested in the throne, and their father still doesn't want to leave so early.
Even if he had a slight desire to abdicate and give up the wise, he should mention the election of the crown prince at this moment. But as far as she knew, Gu Lei still did not mention the matter of the crown prince, and these princes could only take a step by step
Be careful and try to maintain your meager status in the emperor's heart.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Lieyang asked funny when she kept staring at her.
"Today, the Fourth Prince almost couldn't recognize me. When I looked at him, the more I looked at him, the more familiar he became. But... this feeling was very strange... When I saw him, I actually felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy."
She murmured, as if she was talking to Gu Lieyang, or talking to herself.
"Sense of intimacy?"
Gu Lieyang looked at her more seriously. The people he was closest to had a sense of intimacy with his enemies. This was what he should worry about. Compared to her worried guards' fear of heights, it was simply a slight witch.
"Maybe it's an illusion, it's obviously not familiar with him."
She scratched the broken hair on her forehead, and she was not sure about the feeling in her heart.
"Since it's an illusion, I forgot."
Gu Lieyang sighed lightly, unwilling to study her so-called inexplicable sense of intimacy, but subconsciously he felt that maybe he should stop the two from meeting.
It was the third day of the fourth month, and less than a month left before the four-year clan meeting. In the past, Gu Lieyang followed Gu Lei to attend, but this time, Gu Lei seemed to want to be fair to other sons.
Gu Lieyang had just seen Gu Lei from the imperial study room and immediately called Gu Liege to the study room to discuss matters.
"No? The father is going to take the eldest and fourth brothers together?"
After listening to Gu Lieyang's narration, Gu Liege screamed in surprise.
In the past, it was Gu Lieyang alone. Why did he have to bring his three sons with him this time? He also brought them all the main force who was expected to be made the crown prince. Gu Lei’s thoughts are not difficult to guess.
.
"Although it has not been officially announced yet, the father has made a decision. This time I will call me over, so as to avoid any thoughts in my heart."
Gu Lieyang's calm face was not a little worried, but Gu Liege was very worried.
"San brother, do you think my father will be planning to choose one of you three as the prince this time?"
"It is indeed impossible to rule out that such a possibility."
He nodded gently, his tone was very calm. On the way back, he had already thought very clearly that what their father wanted to do, and they had no way to stop them as sons. The only thing he could do was to do was to the father.
Show yourself well in front of you.
And I'm afraid the other brothers also know this very clearly.
"Why are you not in a hurry at all?"
"As long as we can do the best among the princes, this time it may not be a bad thing for me. The position of the prince has not been decided for a long time. I believe the other brothers have been secretly anxious. We have been waiting for too long, no
Is it?"
Gu Lieyang smiled slightly, not only without worry, but on the contrary, he had already begun to look forward to this clan meeting.
Seeing Gu Lieyang like this, Gu Liege also felt relieved. After all, it was his third brother who wanted to compete for the position of the crown prince, not him. The master was not in a hurry. It was useless to be anxious if the people around him were blindly anxious.
Within three days, Gu Lei once again summoned his sons and officially announced the arrangements for the clan meeting to accompany him to the arrangements.
"In the past, I have brought the third brother to attend the clan meeting, but this time, I hope Lieqing and Liefeng can also go with me. Do you have any objections?"
When he spoke, Gu Lei's eyes fell on Gu Lieqing and Gu Liefeng, and he didn't care much about the other sons.
Among the several sons standing in front of him, there are not many who have outstanding abilities and have made some constructions for the court. If he wants to choose a successor for himself, he will naturally choose among these helping sons.
"I am deeply honored to be able to participate in the clan meeting with my father."
Gu Lieqing couldn't hide the joy in his heart and replied with a big smile.
In contrast, Gu Liefeng was much more restrained. He stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Gu Lei, "The son of the son will definitely not disappoint his father."
The princes who were not involved quickly left the imperial study room, leaving only the three people who would be entrusted with important tasks.
Gu Lei's eyes swept through Gu Lieqing, Gu Lieyang and Gu Liefeng one by one. He knew very well about his three outstanding sons, but he had not yet concluded which one was suitable to take over his throne.
"Lieyang, I have recently heard that the captain of the guard in your palace is very famous. The guards under him are only following her. I dare not disobey the slightest?"
Gu Lei looked at Gu Lieyang and changed his mind, but asked about Mo Lanyue. Gu Lieyang just smiled and replied, "The guards did obey her, obey her, and even became a little scared.
tendency."
"Oh? Then it seems that she is quite competent."
"I feel that she does everything herself and has thoughtful ideas. I am very relieved to leave the guards to her."
Seeing the topic gradually deviating from the topic, Gu Lieyang was wondering why this father suddenly cared about Mo Lanyue's affairs, and then heard Gu Lei's low voice ringing in his ears.
"I am quite interested in your captain of the guards. After you go back, you ask her to see me. I have something to ask her."
"this……"
"What? I'm afraid that the person I'll bully you?"
Gu Lei said half-jokingly and half-seriously, making Gu Lieyang unable to refute. He felt a hint of displeasure and instantly solidified the atmosphere on the spot to the extreme.
"Of course not, I'll just ask her to come to see her father."
Gu Lieyang had no choice but to agree. He knew very well that if he had been entangled with his father on this issue, he might have been as simple as Mo Lanyue's later meeting his father and being asked a few questions.
The intention of disobeying the father is to be a crime that will never be forgiven. At this time, he cannot afford to commit it.
The other two listened quietly to the conversation between the emperor and Gu Lieyang. They all looked coldly and did not want to go to the muddy water. Earlier, they had heard of the newly appointed guards in Gu Lieyang Palace.
The captain was selfless and trained his guards to the point of being alone, and complained, but strangely, no matter how abused the guards were, none of them opposed her.
This made the image of Mo Lanyue, the little girl in the palace, more or less mysterious. After all, a big girl had to treat dozens of big men to obey and stick to her.
It was something that had never happened before.
Perhaps this rumor also reached the emperor's ears, but he didn't know that he would have such great interest in her and summoned her personally, which was enough to show the emperor's importance to Mo Lanyue.
"Okay, after all the other things, it's time to talk about the serious things."
Gu Lei waved his hand to his three sons, and the three of them approached one after another. Then he continued, "I believe you three can guess what the clan meeting of our four countries once a year."
The three of them looked at each other, and no one had the intention to speak first.
Although Gu Lieyang followed him to attend the clan meeting, there was nothing special about the clan meeting before. In his opinion, it was just an ordinary family relative who gathered together to talk about current affairs.
But since Gu Lei asked this, he must have other meanings. Things that need to gather the power of the four countries to plan are mostly related to Caiying Kingdom.
The same guess was also floating in Gu Liefeng's heart. He also chose not to fool him and wait for Gu Lei's following.
"The reason why we hold this clan meeting regularly is to plan to overthrow the Caiying Kingdom. I have not mentioned it to you before, but I am very happy that you all follow my hopes.
The direction of the country has grown very well, and now, the national strength of our four countries can barely compete with Caiying Kingdom, so we still lack a good plan for this clan conference."
"Does the Father hope that we can come up with a plan that satisfies all the uncles and uncles of the other Three Kingdoms?"
