Chosen Son

Chapter 57 Anger

As soon as the words of the two of them came out, the maid also knew that her guess was unrealistic, so she obediently shut her mouth.

"But speaking of this, you reminded me," King Jin looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside the window, as if he was thinking about something, with a hesitant expression on his face, "I remember Gu Fan's expression on that day. There is indeed something wrong. Although I have relatively little dealings with him, I know a little about his temperament. Although he was not pleasing to the eye as usual that day, he was a bit artificial. I always feel... It’s still the same body, but it seems that the whole person has been replaced. It’s just that there were too many things later, and I forgot about it.”

The man in Tsing Yi shuddered, and glanced at the little maid with a pale face: "I said, don't talk nonsense, it's creepy."

"I just said what's in my head, why are you reacting so much?" King Jin was a little helpless, "It's just a little strange, maybe it's just my illusion."

"Don't you stay in the cold palace for a long time, you are mentally abnormal." The man in Tsing Yi hurriedly grabbed his wrist and examined him again, "It's quite normal."

"...I'm fine." King Jin withdrew his hand and rolled his eyes at him.

"Speaking of which." Enough jokes, the man in Tsing Yi put away his smile and said worriedly, "What are you going to do, Empress Dowager? Really let her go to Qingquan Temple? That is a royal temple, and it is located in a remote place. If something happens, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and we can't reach it. And the stupid king will definitely arrange his own people to guard the temple, and it will be inconvenient to contact the empress... I'm so weird , He has to torment the concubine to do something, the empress is such a kind-hearted person, she didn't offend him, right?"

"My concubine didn't offend him." King Jin sighed, "He just wanted to embarrass me and force me by the way."

"Why are you being forced?" the man in Tsing Yi asked.

"What else can there be?" Jin Wang straightened his clothes leisurely, "Of course it is to force me to get angry at him in public, so that he can have a legitimate reason to kill me."

"It makes sense..." The man in Tsing Yi thought for a while, and just as he was about to say something, he saw the person in front of him go straight out, and quickly stopped him, "Hey, why are you going?"

"Of course... as he wished." King Jin turned his head and smiled at him.

In the end, Gu Fan returned to the mansion smoothly—in fact, it is not completely smooth. After kneeling for so long, no matter what, it hurt his knees a little. He limped back to the mansion. However, according to the emperor's fury, he was quite lucky to be invited up after only kneeling for an hour.

If it was directly detained, then things would be really troublesome.

Back in the mansion, there was no sign of Zhisha, but the old housekeeper came up to meet him, and seeing him limping, he was shocked: "Oh... what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Gu Fan has always had a good impression of this housekeeper, so he spoke politely, "It's just a small injury, it's nothing serious. By the way, Uncle Zhang, how is the girl given by His Majesty these two days?" gone?"

"Miss Wen." The old housekeeper thought for a while, "I have been staying in the mansion these days and have not gone out. I look at the quiet, gifted person from His Majesty, and the old slave does not dare to disturb her too much. I just asked her some love. What to eat and some habits, just stay put. What's wrong with the master, but what's wrong?"

"Haven't gone out?" Gu Fan repeated, "Are you sure?"

"This..." The housekeeper seemed a little confused by the question, and after thinking for a while, he said with certainty, "I really didn't go out, and I didn't even walk around with any lady or lady. It's just that I went back once. Going to the palace, just to pack up some jewelry that His Majesty once gave her."

"Okay, got it, thank you, Uncle Zhang." Gu Fan skillfully showed him a friendly smile, and saw the old man in front of him back a few steps in horror:

"Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it, you are an old slave!"

Gu Fan: "..."

Sure enough, it's broken again, he thought expressionlessly.

But... he can now be sure that the woman the emperor gave him is definitely not simple.

At first, he just thought that the emperor was ridiculous, not only himself, but also like to pull the people around him to be ridiculous, but it happened that he gave this girl to him.Thinking about it now, he was too naive.The emperor's mind is not so easy to guess, especially the one who is sitting on the dragon chair right now. He went back and thought about it, he must have become suspicious, so he sent this woman to test him.Since it was in his own mansion, although he would be cautious, he would not be as vigilant as he was outside after all, but was taken advantage of by the "invisible man" in the mansion.

At this time, he couldn't touch her even more.

This will not only arouse the emperor's suspicion, if he uses some new ideas to stare at him, if he doesn't find out that his feet have been exposed, it will be difficult to handle. It's not as good as it is now. Darkness is easier to deal with.

What's more... If the emperor wants to know his true thoughts, then show him the show.

He dragged his miserable, limping legs and went straight to the woman's house.

Thinking that it was still a girl's house after all, when arranging the house, he specially arranged for this girl in a quiet room in the inner courtyard, and the furnishings were also according to her preferences. To reduce the number of people serving, Gu Fan thought about it and agreed to her, leaving only the two personal maids she brought from the palace. Now that I think about it, it has unintentionally provided her with great convenience.While cursing himself why he put her so far away, he stopped and stopped, and finally reached the woman's room.

The woman obviously didn't expect him to come suddenly, and when she got the news from the maid and came out in a hurry, she still had a book in her hand, Gu Fan glanced at it briefly, it was a historical biography.

In this dynasty, a woman who has no ability to decide her own destiny, but is just sent around as a gift, can have such a culture and consciousness, that stupid king really picked up a treasure.

Gu Fan coughed—he is a modern person, and he really has no experience in dealing with concubines, not to mention that the original owner is withdrawn, and all his thoughts are devoted to the conspiracy and calculations in the court, and there are no actual cases to provide him with experience. In the middle, I had a difficulty in the first sentence of my mouth.Fortunately, the woman is also a person bestowed by the emperor, and she knows how to read words and expressions. She saw his embarrassment, and invited him into the inner room. He wiped it on, and asked, "What's the matter, you went to the palace, why did you get injured all over your body?"

Gu Fanxin said that you don't know why I was hurt, but his face was still expressionless, just showing a little bit of subtle distress appropriately, and sighed softly.

The woman's hand paused, and she asked cautiously: "What's wrong with you, if you tell me, this concubine can share your worries."

Gu Fan still didn't speak, and after a long while, he suddenly showed a somewhat sinister smile: "Miss Wen, do you still have relatives at home?"

The woman was startled, she pursed her lips, she couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment, so she said truthfully: "Both parents are here, and there is a younger brother."

"It's blissful..." Gu Fan murmured, "It's a pity."

"It's a pity...what?" The woman was terrified when she heard it, and kept looking at his face.

Before coming here, she had actually heard of the moody, gloomy and irritable Mr. Gu, but as soon as she came to the mansion, she was put in this remote courtyard, and she was relieved when she never saw him again. tone.Seeing him now, I feel that the rumors are not all unfounded.

"A beautiful woman is like a flower, but she followed an incompetent person like me. I don't think it's interesting." The corners of Gu Fan's mouth curled up, revealing a somewhat sarcastic smile.

The smile on the woman's face could hardly hold back, she just tried her best to support her forced smile and said: "What are you talking about...Your Excellency is a celebrity in front of the Emperor, it is my concubine's good fortune to be able to follow Your Excellency."

"Red man?" Gu Fan seemed to be stimulated by this word, stood up abruptly, and grabbed the woman's neck, "You all say that, but who knows my difficulties?"

For a while, the room was silent, the woman held her breath, her face flushed, but Gu Fan didn't seem to intend to really strangle her to death, he just held her for a few seconds, then let go of her, and continued to move back and forth Walking around, looking very irritable, it seems that he was really stimulated by something.

Gu Fan was indeed very irritable. Just as he pinched the woman's neck, a warning sound rang in his mind frantically. At the moment when he was about to lose his health, he quickly let go of his hand, his face was full of pain. The maintained expression almost collapsed. Fortunately, the woman was rejoicing for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, and had no time to care about his distorted expression. Otherwise, he would really be unable to continue this scene.

"Cough...cough cough." The woman slowed down for a while, but she didn't dare to persuade him any more, but Gu Fan seemed to be talking to herself, with a ferocious expression on her face.

"I tried my best to make plans for His Majesty, and I considered everything for him, but who knows... In the end, I ended up not being trusted. Tell me, what is Your Majesty thinking? Huh?"
