After Guo Kun left, calm quickly returned to the small pavilion. A group of royal guards stood guard around the small pavilion from a distance and did not come near to disturb. The wind blew through the flowers and trees, and the leaves rustled. The frightened people
Birds also boldly descended, jumping and chirping on the steps and flower windows in front of the small pavilion.
In the small pavilion, Guo Caiwei looked at Lin Jue blankly, her eyes full of worry and sadness.
"Are you really going to take this risk?" the little princess asked.
Lin Jue slowly walked over and took the little princess's hand, and the two sat on the stone bench next to them. The sun shone in and shone on Guo Caiwei's slim face, which was full of worry.
"Weier, I want to go. You all know the reason. Because of the last birthday ceremony, I, Guishan Island, killed Hai Dongqing's beloved son, and Hai Dongqing came to seek revenge. They intercepted and killed me several times.
, I escaped by luck. A few days ago, they almost hijacked Green Dance beside me. The matter has reached a point where it has to be resolved, and I can't sit still and wait for death."
"But this trip is so dangerous, can you still survive?"
"Whether I can come back alive depends on fate. But it's better than waiting to die. Besides, I have no choice."
Guo Caiwei was stunned and speechless. After a while, she whispered: "If you die, let alone me, how can you be worthy of that girl Fang? Aren't you going to marry her? If you die, who will she marry? How can you be so cruel?
.”
Lin Jue sighed softly and said: "Huanqiu has passed away, and I no longer need to explain anything to her."
Guo Caiwei said in surprise: "Miss Fang died of illness? When did it happen?"
Lin Jue sighed and said: "She died of illness in the capital a few years ago. She hasn't used the prescription you found for me yet. Alas, I didn't even see her for the last time."
Guo Caiwei was surprised for a long time, and whispered: "You... show your condolences and accept the change. Miss Fang's life is not hard. At least, she needs you to treat her sincerely."
Lin Jue didn't hear what she said, and whispered: "I am really sincere to her, and I am very sad about her death. She is indeed very pitiful, and she got such a terminal disease at such a young age, and I couldn't save her. Yes.
Sometimes I feel very useless."
Guo Caiwei sighed softly and said: "But now that you are gone, you will no longer have anything to worry about, right?"
Lin Jue finally heard the resentment in Guo Caiwei's words. He squinted at Guo Caiwei and said, "Weier, I don't care about your feelings, but I have to do this because the situation forces me to face it.
.I can't hide at home and be a coward all my life, afraid to go out because of Hai Dongqing. If someone around me dies because of me, I will live in regret for the rest of my life. I am a man
, I have to face it. Even if I die because of it."
Guo Caiwei looked up at Lin Jue and said softly: "I understand, how can a man be so cowardly as a man? If you are that kind of person, I, Guo Caiwei, will not... nor will I fall in love with you like this. Go ahead, if you die
, I just don’t have to live alone.”
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Weier, you don't have to be like this. If I die, you should live better."
Guo Caiwei suddenly broke away, shook off Lin Jue's hand and stood up, with an angry look on her face: "Even now, don't you believe that I am sincere to you?"
Lin Jue frowned and looked at her and said: "Weier, you have suffered so much to protect me, how could I doubt your sincerity. I admit that I had concerns before. I have a promise to Huanqiu, and I can't betray her."
.Moreover, what happened between you and me is a bit ridiculous after all. You and I are very different in status, and what happened that night was an accident. I might as well make it clear to you that I don’t want to have too much to do with Prince Liang’s Mansion.
I don’t agree with your father and brother’s behavior, because it will lead to catastrophe sooner or later. But now, all these worries have disappeared. You treat me like this, how can I let you down? No matter how your father and brother object, even if it means it.
Even if you kill me, I will never give up on you."
Guo Caiwei looked surprised and said in surprise: "You...you really think so? Have you decided?"
Lin Jue nodded and said, "You treat me like this. If I let you down, wouldn't I be in vain?"
Guo Caiwei rushed over and hugged Lin Jue's neck tightly, crying with joy: "I finally heard you say these words."
Lin Jue smiled and stroked her back and said: "You are the princess, be more reserved. What if I just want to rely on you to get the upper hand? What if I am the second Sima Qingshan?"
Guo Caiwei smiled and said: "He? Not as good as one finger of yours. You are definitely not that kind of person. Otherwise, why did you wait until today to say this?"
Lin Jue whispered: "Thank you very much, God has treated me well."
Guo Caiwei looked up at Lin Jue and said: "I understand, you can do things with peace of mind. Some things will eventually be done. If you can succeed this time, you may be able to get the approval of your father and brother, and it may also be helpful to you and me. If you Even if you die, I will not die. I will just keep it safe for you. I will never marry again in my life."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Keeping integrity? Why bother? Why do you say such stupid things? Am I willing to watch you die alone all your life? After I die, you live your life and occasionally burn some paper money for me. That’s it. I’m willing to see you live well. And, it’s strange, why do you all say that I will die on the island? Can’t you hope that I will come back alive?”
Guo Caiwei kept saying, "Bah, bah, bah, look at my mouth. You won't die, you will definitely come back alive. I will go to all the temples in Hangzhou to burn incense and worship Buddha for you, and bless you for your safe return. You promise me , we must come back alive.”
Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "I promise you, I will come back alive. After this is done, I will have a showdown with your father and brother, and I will tell your father that I want to marry her daughter."
Guo Caiwei's face turned red with excitement, and she whispered: "What if my father doesn't agree? Will he even kill you?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Then I will let her daughter give birth to a child, so that he will be completely embarrassed."
Guo Caiwei spat loudly and said: "Bah, you are indeed a bad person."
…
In the back garden of the palace, Guo Bing was walking back and forth under the sunshine with his hands behind his hands. Although the spring was bright, his face was uncertain. Suddenly he thought that if Lin Jue's plan succeeded, it would be of great benefit to the palace, so he smiled. After a while, I thought about the huge risks brought by this matter, which would be out of control, so the clouds were gathering. As my mood fluctuated, my mood also went up and down.
"Why hasn't Kun'er come yet? Where has he gone?" Guo Bing stopped and frowned at a steward standing not far away and asked.
"I would like to inform you, the young prince, that the young prince has returned to his residence, but for some reason he has not come to see him yet. I will go and invite him again now."
Just as Guo Bing was about to speak, there was a sudden thud of footsteps outside the round door. Guo Kun strode up the stone path on the side of the rockery. The steward said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the young prince is here."
Guo Bing snorted and said in a deep voice: "Here comes tea."
Guo Kun strode over in a hurry, and at a glance he saw his father standing on the grass with his hands behind his hands and the mess scattered around his father.
"Children, meet your father."
"Well, you're here? What took you so long? Are you wandering on the street again?" Guo Bing said in a deep voice.
"Haier didn't go wandering around. In the morning, he went around the Ning Navy Station and talked a few words with Commander Song. As soon as he came back, he heard that his father called him, so he hurriedly came to see his father. Father... …What’s going on here? Who made you angry?”
Guo Bing glanced at the mess on the ground, waved his hand and said, "That Lin Jue came to see my father just now and said some things that made me angry. I hit him with a teapot and teacup."
"Oh? Lin Jue's guy is here? Why did he make his father angry?" Guo Kun did not intend to tell what he learned from Lin Jue. Since it was a verification, of course he had to listen to what his father said and talk to Lin Jue.
I wonder if what I said is the same.
"Sit down and talk." Guo Bing sat down, and Guo Kun straightened a chair that had fallen on the ground and leaned over to sit opposite him.
"Kun'er, Lin Jue came here and told me something. My father feels it is necessary to discuss it with you because this matter is too important. My father wants to hear your opinion." Guo Bing said in a deep voice.
road.
"Father, please speak, my child is listening."
Guo Bing slowly and quietly told the story of how Lin Jue came to see him just now, not even the part where Lin Jue threatened him. In front of his son, Guo Bing would not hide anything. Even if it was a
A very embarrassing thing.
Guo Kun frowned and listened carefully, nodding secretly in his heart. Lin Jue did not lie. His father's account was exactly the same as what Lin Jue said, but from a different angle. Lin Jue indeed made a suggestion to his father to exterminate the pirates.
After Guo Bing finished talking about what happened, he looked at Guo Kun quietly. What was strange to him was that there was no trace of surprise on Guo Kun's face. When did his son become so calm?
"Kun'er, do you think this matter can be done or not?"
"Father, to tell you the truth, I already know about this matter. I just met Lin Jue in the mansion, and he told my son about it." Guo Kun himself revealed the mystery behind his calmness.
Guo Bing suddenly realized and asked again: "So, do you think this is feasible?"
Guo Kun said in a deep voice: "Dad, please forgive me, this matter is extremely risky. This plan itself is very risky, and if it fails, it will be out of control. Lin Jue certainly has a low life, and he can think of this plan regardless of life and death.
But for us, I’m afraid we have to be cautious.”
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Kun'er means...can't take risks?"
Guo Kun shook his head and said: "My child didn't mean that. My child just said to be careful. Father, my father has been uneasy since he returned to the capital last time. Is there another rumor in the court that is unfavorable to my palace?
Are you not happy to win your father?"
Guo Bing said in a deep voice: "Kun'er, my father didn't want to tell you this, but there is no need to hide it from you now. When did the rumors in the court that were unfavorable to my palace stop? However, if Lu Zhongtian and the others continue to cause trouble, as long as the Holy One does not
Even after speaking, their words were still useless. However, this time, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a wrong way. He asked me several times about the pirate infestation, and there seemed to be some blame in his words. Kun'er, do you know what that means?
?”
"Father, what you mean is that the Holy One is calling us back to the capital? Has that old thief Lu Zhongtian's slander worked? The Holy One is suspicious of us?"
"It may not be Lu Zhongtian's words that played a role. You don't know that my imperial brother is a very independent person. He will not be led by others. Three years later, the throne has been stable. He thinks that we are stupid.
It's not appropriate to stay in Hangzhou. It's more likely that he has his own thoughts. He just tested me first. After testing me, and observing for a period of time, he will issue an order. He doesn't want us to stay in Hangzhou, where he can't see
Kun'er, we're afraid we won't be able to stay in Hangzhou."
Guo Kun frowned and said: "Father, Your Majesty may not be that kind of person, maybe he just said it casually."
Guo Bingbing laughed and sighed: "Kun'er, your father grew up with him, don't you know what kind of person he is? Father, let me tell you something about my childhood. That year,
I was only nine years old. One day, my brother and I went to play in my father's bedroom. It was a bit cold that day and I was wearing a little thin clothes. My mother took my father's dragon robe and put it on me. It was okay at the time.
But after that, the emperor beat me so hard that I was covered in bruises and broke one of my toes with a stone. The pain was so painful that I cried loudly, and he threatened me not to cry.
, and I said that I lost my footing and broke it. He told me that he would wear the dragon robe in the future, how could I wear it? Even if my mother wanted to put it on me, I couldn’t wear it. He also told me,
If I dare to do this again in the future, I will die in his hands. I was young and didn't understand what he meant at all. Later, when I grew up, I knew what he meant.
From this, you should know what kind of person he is. In front of outsiders, he is a kind brother, but who knows what kind of person he is?"
