In order to refuse marriage, the prince did not hesitate to use medicine to destroy my innocent reputation
However, what made me most desperate was that nearly three months later, I was diagnosed with pregnant
The child was the king of Zhenbei who spent the night with me...

"Puff——"
A bowl of hot soup was caught off guard and directly poured on my face. It made me feel so hot that I couldn't help but wipe it in panic and retreated in a panic. Then the mummy girl Gu Niannian roared arrogantly, "Damn it! Such a hot soup is also brought to me for food, but I want to burn me to death?"
"No, no, I know I'm wrong, I won't dare to do it next time."
I was soaked in a mess, and I quickly whispered, lowered my head to apologize, so as not to let Gu Niannian vent my anger even more, and further exhale me.
I knew she was unhappy and was angry and had nowhere to be angry, so I wanted to punish me to death, thinking that my existence was a humiliation to her.
Therefore, at this time, I must not bump into her, otherwise, the one who suffers the consequences in the end must be me or my son.
She admired Prince Gao Xiu in her heart and wanted to marry into the Prince's Mansion and become the second-class concubine of the Prince - Ruzi, but she was rejected by Gao Xiu and said that she was of a humble background, so what could she do? How to get into the Prince's Mansion?
However, thinking about it, her biological mother Wei was born as a girl from a family and was pregnant and was only raised by a concubine. She didn't even count the side room. How could the daughter she gave birth to enter the Prince's Mansion?
In the prince’s mansion, let alone the princess who were born as the legitimate daughter of the general, which one of the good divas below is not born as a noble girl? Is there power behind it helping the prince fight for power?
She was born as a concubine daughter. Even if she was supported by the Prime Minister’s Mansion, the Prime Minister’s Mansion has now been suppressed and has become a declining trend. Why can she enter the Prince’s Mansion as a concubine? Be a concubine in the future?
"Bao lang... Gu Qinglan, what's wrong? How could you be wrong? Baao lang... You almost became the Crown Princess, how could you be wrong? Baao lang... If you hadn't been shameless at the beginning, how could the entire Prime Minister's Mansion end up in this situation now? It was all caused by your slut. Go to death, you, the star of the Death! Baao lang..."
Gu Niannian was furious, throwing the butterfly at me, and cursing fiercely, really wishing to smash me to death.
But I can't die, nor can I refute and stimulate her, even if I am humiliated, I can't do anything about my son? Wouldn't my mother die in vain?
Five years ago, I was about sixteen years old and the emperor gave me a marriage. I was designated as the Crown Princess. I was scheduled to hold a wedding in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year and officially became the Crown Princess.
However, Gao Xiu, who was just named the crown prince, did not like me. To be precise, he did not like my father Gu Jingqian. In the court, they did not agree on politics and formed the same party, and even had some opposition.
plus Gao Xiu urgently needed to win over General Zhang Mu in order to secure the position of the crown prince, so as to gain military power, and wanted to suppress Gao Che, the powerful King of Zhenbei. So, at a palace banquet, I was unprepared for medicine and was unconscious on my way out of the palace and returned to the house.
When I woke up, I was naked and hugged Gao Che, the king of Zhenbei, and lay in the bedside quilt. Moreover, I was caught by the emperor, the prince and the palace people on the spot, which made the emperor furious and threatened to depose me, the priest princess, and urgently summoned my father to come to the palace to meet him quickly.
Finally, Gao Xiu got what he wanted, killing three birds with one stone, winning the whole game.
I am notorious and have been deposed as the Crown Princess. I am replaced by Zhang Mu's daughter, Zhang Yanyu, to become the Crown Princess. He was almost given poison wine.
The king of the town, Gao Che, had a loss of virtue and disregard for human ethics. He was punished to guard the border and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an imperial edict. His mother was also demoted.
My father was improperly educated and had a poor family tradition. He was fined for half a year and was dismissed from the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
This made me completely embrace the darkness and terror of fighting for power and intrigue. It was like a wild beast in a cage, obsessed with profit and lost human nature. No matter whether it is innocent or weak or weak, I have to fight to the death, step on all obstacles under my feet, and then climb up to death.
However, what made me most desperate was that nearly three months later, I was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Originally, my father regarded his reputation as heaven. In order to save my life, my mother had already had a frustration with him. When she learned that I was pregnant, she was even more furious and threatened to kill me, so as to maintain the reputation of the family with the style of the main family.
My mother protected me hard, and finally died after hitting the pillar, which made my father feel guilty, which left my life, sent me to the countryside outside the city to secretly raise my baby, and finally gave birth to a son Luo'er successfully.
A year later, when I took my child back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the traces about Gu Qinglan in the mansion had been erased and almost disappeared. Wei took charge of the back house as a substitute, and Gu Niannian took advantage of the situation and was treated like a legitimate daughter.
And I can no longer regard myself as Gu Qinglan, but can only stay in the mansion as a maid Jinlan, relying on others, and living in simplicity. The three words Gu Qinglan have become a taboo, and the whole mansion cannot mention or discuss.
As for Luo'er's existence, it cannot be mentioned, and cannot be said outward, so as not to cause harm. After all, Gao Xiu and Gao Che have always been mortal enemies, so I can't guarantee that they will do anything.
Therefore, to this day, the servants who entered the mansion later did not know that I was Gu Qinglan, who was once the noble legitimate wife in this mansion.
Even my brothers and brothers didn't like us, mother and son, and they all resented me for ruining the reputation and future of the family, making their career unsuccessful, and even killing my mother.
In order to survive and to avoid grievances for my son, I can tolerate anything and do any dirty and tiring work. Even if I wash Gu Niannian's hair and feet, wash the dirty stuff, and face her insults, I can tolerate anything. I don't fight for anything, just to make more things worse than less. My son and I can live a better life.
However, sometimes, no matter how cautious I act, I can't escape the trouble. Just like now, I have become the target of venting and insulting for no reason.

"Wow..."
After Gu Niannian cursed and left angrily, I endured the humiliation and grievances, and was cleaning up the soup and dishes that were spilling on the ground. Suddenly, I heard my son Luo'er's cry coming from the courtyard, which made me panic and left everything and ran out hurriedly, trying to find out what was going on.
Luo'er is over four years old. She is usually very obedient and well-behaved and never causes trouble. When I am busy with things, he always follows him, but he will not get in the way. Just now, I asked him to stay in the courtyard and wait for me to come.
"You little beast, dare you hit me? Do you dare to do it next time?"
Gu Niannian first slapped my son, then twisted his ear hard, and was very annoyed. The child's tender cheeks began to turn red and swollen.
"Gu Niannian, what are you doing? Let me go!"
I hugged the child with one hand and slapped Gu Niannian's hand with the other. I wanted her to let go quickly, don't twist her ears.
However, in anger, she slapped me hard on the cheek, "Bang!" and cursed fiercely, "Damn it! How dare you hit me? Are you tired of living?"
"Bang!"
In the head, I suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and slapped it back with my hands and feet. My son used both hands and feet, followed closely. He kicked and beat him up and accused him, "Bad guy, bad guy, don't hit my mother."
"Rebellious! You little bastard! Do you dare to hit me?"
Gu Niannian cursed in anger and pushed my son hard to the ground, which made me suddenly feel angry and went forward to fight with her, causing her forehead to hit the rockery hard, and blood flowed out in an instant. Then many servants were attracted, including her biological mother Wei.
"Stop it all! Pull them away quickly! Why are you all standing there? Hurry!"
Wei's family rushed into the courtyard and shouted urgently, causing me to be quickly pulled away by a group of servants and could not beat me again.
"Mom..." Luo'er hurriedly ran over, hugged my thighs, and pushed my servant repeatedly, "Bad people, bad people, are all bad people, let go of my mother!"
"Luo'er is not afraid, my mother is fine." I hurriedly comforted her.
"Mom, this dead bitch is back, you dare to hit me! It's all bleeding, please make the decision!"
Gu Niannian covered her forehead with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding, pointed at me angrily, and acted coquettishly at her mother.
"Bang!" Wei was vicious and fierce, and his backhand shaved me a big ear, which made my ears buzz, "You are tired of living a slut? Do you dare to beat my daughter? What? Keep me in the woodshed, and you are not allowed to eat or drink!"
"You are a maid! Why do you hit me? You really think you are from this mansion? Madam? You gave birth to a daughter who has no talent and no virtue, bad character, and still wants to marry into the prince's house? It's a fool, and it makes people laugh! "
Since I have broken up and can no longer compromise, I don't want to endure it anymore, so I just gave up and scolded him to vent all the grievances I had suffered, so that they could taste what it felt.
"Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable? Is this unreasonable? Is this unreasonable! Give me a slap! Give me a slap!"
Wei was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at me angrily, and incoherently told his servants to attack me. Then the servant's slap fell on my face one after another, and it hurts so much.
"Beat me hard so that this dead bitch can remember and dare to look down on me? I deserve it if I beat you to death!" Gu Niannian was furious and scolded.
"Wow...mother...mother..."
Luo'er grabbed my skirt tightly and cried so anxiously, looking so helpless, scared, and panicked.
"Okay, lock them and their mother and their son in the woodshed. Without my permission, they are not allowed to be given food!"
"Yes!"
I don't know how many times he was beaten in total. Except for the fishy smell in his mouth, he almost felt unconscious on his face. There were stars in front of him. Wei suddenly spoke, asking the servant to stop stuttering and locked us mother and son in the woodshed, and had to cut off water and fast food. I don’t remember
anymore. This is the first time I have been in confinement. I don’t know if it will be the last time.
"Mother..."
"Luo'er is not afraid. With mother here, there will be no trouble."
As the wooden door of the firewood was closed, it was locked from the outside, I hugged my son tightly and comforted me with weak energy.
"Mom, does it hurt?" Luo'er asked, touching my face lightly.
"Mom is fine, it doesn't hurt."
There is endless grievance in my heart, but there are no tears to shed. Besides, who else can I cry for? Who else would feel distressed?
"Mom, I'm hungry."
At night, Luo'er in his arms suddenly said, but I had no choice. There was no other exit to escape except the door.
"Luo'er, sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."
I hugged him helplessly and comforted him.
But as the mosquitoes buzz and noisy, they bit and suck blood from time to time, making the skin itchy, so where can they sleep?
And the only thing I can do is to try to wrap Luo'er with clothes to avoid mosquitoes biting him.
"Miss, Miss..."
Late at night, a fire suddenly approached the door of the woodshed room. As the wooden door was pushed open, the fire shone through the crack of the door, and the voice of my wet nurse, Madam Kong, came.
"Madam..." I hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door, and couldn't help but ask urgently, "Can you open the door and let us out?"
"Miss, I don't have the key to unlock the lock. If Aunt Wei knows, she will punish me..." Madam Kong handed me three pieces of sesame cakes through the crack of the door, "Please take this, don't be hungry."
I took the sesame cakes. , and asked again, "Madam, please help us pry the door lock open. We will definitely not implicate you when we escape from the house."
"How can this midnight do you do? You have to wait until tomorrow. You and the young master will bear it."
I saw that Madam Kong had concerns and refused to pry the door lock, so I didn't make things difficult for her anymore. After she left with the lantern, I held Luo'er and sat back in the original place. I did not eat sesame cakes, but left it all for Luo'er to wake up and eat.

The afternoon of the next day, Gu Niannian, who had not yet calmed down, was not sure what was stimulating. She suddenly came to the woodshed with a horse whip and bandaged her forehead, as if she wanted to use lynching to relieve her hatred, which made me hurriedly hid Luo'er behind me, and I entered a state of defense, and grabbed a piece of firewood to prevent myself.
"Mother..." Luo'er screamed in fear.
"Don't be afraid of Luo'er, it's okay to have your mother here."
"Gu Qinglan, why don't you die yet? Why do you still have to live in the world with a slutty face?"
Gu Niannian asked furiously, approaching step by step, and the horse whip in his hand suddenly waved over, causing me to rush to wield the firewood to resist, but I couldn't completely block it.
"If it weren't for you, I would have married into the prince's mansion long ago... The prince said, if you die, I can pass the mansion immediately as a child, and I will be the concubine in the future. You can die quickly..."
Gu Niannian beat him up with anger and accused him angrily.
I really don’t know why Prince Gao Xiu hated me so much and insisted on putting me to death before giving up. I have never offended him or hurt the people around him. Why? Where did I get in the way of him?
When I became the candidate for the Crown Princess, I was given a marriage by the emperor. It was not something I forced to do, but I was forced to choose. Can I blame this?
I didn’t like him at first. Is it not enough to design ruin my reputation and life and indirectly kill my mother? We still have to kill us mother and son to death before we can be willing to do so?
Thinking of this, listening to my son's heart-wrenching and panic crying, in order to live with my son, I suddenly ignored the pain of the whip, used firewood as a weapon to spare my life, and waved hard to move forward, forcing Gu Niannian to the corner of the wall, and then snatched the whip from her hand to pull it back fiercely.
whipped each whip, almost bursting with flesh and bones, and she screamed, holding her head and curled up into a ball. The slave standing at the door looked at him in shock, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Gu Niannian, remember that I, Gu Qinglan, was born to the prime minister's wife, and was a legitimate daughter. Your mother was born as a maid. She was a maid and you were also a maid. If you want to fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix, you can do whatever you want. It's better not to try to use me as a stepping stone and climb up on me. Next time, I will kill you. I will do what I say!"
After finishing the fight, Gu Niannian's clothes were broken, trembling, curled up with her head, and did not dare to retaliate.
I turned around and took Luo'er to leave the woodshed. Facing the servant's blocking the way, I waved the whip and roared, "Get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being polite!"
Without the master's instructions, the servants looked at each other, and then made way for the way in silence.
As soon as I led Luo'er out of the woodshed, I saw my father Gu Jingqian and Wei rushed over, and cursed angrily: "My evil, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"
"She has long been dissatisfied and should have been strictly controlled. Otherwise, sooner or later, causing trouble and implicating the entire prime minister's mansion." Wei was disgusted and added fuel to the fire.
"Gu Jingqian, you are hypocritical and seek fame, but you have nothing but false reputation, and you also killed my mother. Five years ago, you knew that I was framed and also a victim, but you ignored the facts and only took your face and reputation, and insisted on putting me to death. In recent years, you have instigated the concubines and daughters to abuse us mother and son. From today on, you and my father have broken off their kindness, and we will never owe each other..."
Before I finished speaking, Gu Jingqian was so angry that he was angry and angry, "Crime, Rebellious son! How can you call the name of a father? Five years ago, even if you were plotted to ruin your reputation, the entire prime minister's family was shamed and became a stolen word. All kinds of evil consequences arise because of you. This is a fact. You are careless and have opportunities to take advantage of it. This is your fault. No one else can blame you! You should take the consequences and prove your innocence by death, rather than living until now. "
The cause is right and wrong. I am framed by the evil people, but it has caused adverse consequences and harm, but the entire family has to bear and bear it together. This is a fact.
I held the horse whip in my hand and took Luo'er and left silently. I really didn't want to argue anymore to prove anything. I just wanted to get out of the right and wrong situation and live well with my son, instead of being slaughtered and becoming a prey played by others again.
However, Luo'er and I had just taken a few steps, Gu Jingqian suddenly ordered the servants, "Come, take them to the room and take their mother and son to the room to be confined. No release is allowed without my permission!"
"Yes!" Several servants responded in unison.
"Who dares?" I used the horse whip as a weapon and pointed forward angrily. In desperation, I directly warned, "I have asked someone to send a letter to the King of Zhenbei. Who dares to touch his son? Be careful that he will return to the whole family!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and at a loss. Then Gu Jingqian reminded, "In the morning, Your Majesty has issued an edict to recall the King of Zhenbei. It is still unknown whether he can return to the capital alive." Then he ordered, "Take it down!"
Taking advantage of my surprise, several servants surrounded me and Luo'er and I back to the room, and put us mother and son in custody.
Is the king of the town going back to the capital? Is it still unknown whether
can return to the capital alive?
Prince Gao Xiu will definitely not let him go, let him return to the capital safely and continue to pose a threat!
No wonder Gu Niannian suddenly became anxious and wanted to kill us mother and son to seek credit, and take the opportunity to fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix. It turned out that someone behind him was anxious and wanted to kill someone with a knife!
This prime minister's government is not safe, Gu Jingqian's position is not clear. If Gao Che dies, Luo'er and I will surrender to the prince's letter of resignation. If Gao Che wins, Luo'er and I will surrender to the gift of resignation to Gao Che. For the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the glory and wealth of the Gu family, Gu Jingqian cannot do it, he can really do it with his heart.
Thinking of this, in order to fail to become a fish, my life was hanging on the ground. While comforting Luo'er, I began to think about how to escape from the house. After
, a servant brought him food. I was worried that it would be poisonous. Even if I was very hungry, Luo'er and I didn't eat it.
Gu Jingqian would not rush to do anything, but Gu Niannian and Wei became crazy and became crazy.
This is the only chance that she can fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix. How could she let it go easily? Wei was worried and afraid, just because he was afraid that I would be even more unlikely to let go of it.

I started to pack up my bags and tried to get some valuable and easy-to-bring things. I had to escape from the house at night, so I couldn't sit and wait for death.
When I packed up my bag and turned to check whether the window could be smashed, I accidentally saw Luo'er staring at the food and swallowing saliva on the table table, looking pitiful, which made me feel sad and very uncomfortable.
I have no ability, so I can only take my child to be wronged and beg for everything, and end up with others in order to endure the current situation. Let the child end up with him and endure his life and be threatened. It is really useless.
"Luo'er..." I turned and picked up Luo'er to comfort me, "Luo'er, these foods may be poisonous, we won't eat them. Tomorrow, my mother will take you to eat delicious food. Let's bear it, okay?"
"Okay, Luo'er wants to eat chicken legs." Luo'er hugged my neck and lay on my shoulder and said obediently.
"Okay, Luo'er is so good!"
I had no choice but to coax him to sleep again to forget about his hunger.
In the evening, Gu Niannian came to find trouble again with a bruise and whip mark, and brought two tall maids. After the three of them entered the door, she directly ordered: "Catch her!"
with both hands could not match four hands, and the other party was taller and stronger than me, which made me quickly capture by , and then I was strangled by Gu Niannian, and I opened my mouth and wanted to pour poison into it.
Luo'er stood aside, and saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She couldn't help but panic and burst into tears.
I know that if I don’t fight to the death, my son and I will never have a chance to survive again, so I shut up and struggled hard, and kicked forward hard, forcing Gu Niannian to take a few steps back. Then I hurriedly warned: "Gu Niannian, if we mother and son die, the King of Zhenbei will not let you go, and you will definitely die a bad death! And your mother!"
"Hmph!" Gu Niannian couldn’t help but sneer and laughed at her and laughed at her. He said, "A woman who is disgraced and a shameless illegitimate child, do you really think he will care? What's more, with His Royal Highness there, what can he do to me? Can a prince who is not favored still make a fortune?" After she mocked her, she ordered directly, "Put her mouth open for me."
Two tall maids used hands and feet together, pressing me directly on the wall, making me unable to move, and then prying my mouth open to let Gu Niannian feed me poison.
"This is the best arsenic. Your family of three will soon be reunited in the underworld."
"Bad guy, bad guy, let go of my mother..."
Gu Niannian came over step by step. In desperation, Luo'er directly cursed and hit her with her head, which made her angry and embarrassed. She grabbed Luo'er and strangled his mouth and forced her to feed the poison.
"Mother..." Luo'er struggled hard and called in panic.
"No!" My heart suddenly rose to my throat, heartbreaking, and panic, shouting no, and begging in despair, "Gu Niannian, I beg you, don't touch my son, if you have anything, come to me..."
"Gu Qinglan, you have today, it's too late!"
Just as arsenic was about to pour into Luo'er's mouth, and I was worried that I was almost suffocating, suddenly a figure rushed in and knocked out the arsenic from Gu Niannian's hand. The dagger in her hand was directly placed on Gu Niannian's neck, which made her panic and tilted her head and hurriedly retreated.
The person who rushed in was a tall and thin man with a mask on his face and his eyes were very sharp. He picked up Luo'er and ordered Gu Niannian: "Let go Miss Gu! Otherwise, I will take your life immediately!"
The dagger was on Gu Niannian's neck, and the blood had already oozed out of the skin and flowed down his neck, which made Gu Niannian's in panic and ordered to the maid, "Let her go, hurry!"
After I was let go, the man directly said to me, "Madam, let go."
I was shocked and didn't understand what was going on. The other party was an enemy or a friend, but since I could leave, of course I would leave first and then talk about it.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered that I should take the bag, so I hurriedly turned around and turned back to get the bag, turned to carry Luo'er and then hurriedly walked out.
The man followed behind and locked the wooden door of the room, and then rushed to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with us, and wanted to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion through the back door.
After leaving the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I walked in the alley with great vigilance and asked anxiously: "Who are you? Who are you instructed?"
"I am the one of the King of Zhenbei, and I came here by the King of Zhenbei." The man answered solemnly.
However, I don’t believe it. The edict to summon Zhenbei to return to the capital was issued early, and it was passed and returned. Even if he was rushing and rushing around, it would take at least half a month. He could not be in the capital so quickly, unless he had sneaked back to the capital long ago.
The man in front of me was either the secret guard secretly raised by the King of Zhenbei, or the prince's man, and I couldn't believe it. After all, in terms of the current situation, I couldn't even believe my own father, let alone a stranger.
In order not to get out of the wolf's nest and enter the tiger's den, I hesitated and asked again: "Where is the King of Zhenbei?"
The man was silent and did not answer.
"Where are you going now?"
"You will know when you arrive."
The man turned around and wanted to help me hug Luo'er, but I refused to give it to me. I also refused to give it to me, and I just thought about how to get rid of him and escape to a safe place.
However, he seems to be very flexible. If I want to get rid of him, it is not easy for me to hold the child. I guess he was caught by him before he could even get far.
"How did you join the Prime Minister's Office?" I asked again.
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not strictly guarded, there are many servants and servants. Those who can avoid servants and servants entering the backyard are definitely not ordinary people.
"I bribed the servants in the house and received the news at noon." The man said sincerely.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Luo'er hugged my neck tightly and lay on my shoulders. He had calmed down from the scare and panic. He was very dependent and said softly.
"Okay, my mother will buy you food now."
From yesterday afternoon to now, I have almost no drinking water to eat. I am also very hungry, so hungry that I am exhausted and my hands are trembling, but I still try my best to comfort my son.
and others walked out of the alley and we got into a simple carriage that had been prepared long ago.
passed by the street and encountered a shop selling buns. The man got off the carriage and helped buy a few buns.
Because I watched him buy it all the time, I felt relieved. After giving him some copper coins, I ate it with Luo'er with peace of mind to fill my stomach as soon as possible.
5
Night fell, and after the carriage passed through several streets, it stopped in front of a rich man's house.
The word "Wang's House" is written on the plaque in the lintel. It is not the residence of an official and a prince, but the residence of an ordinary rich man.
Seeing that it was not the Prince's Mansion, I felt much more at ease.
I didn't ask much. I carried my bag, held Luo'er in my arms, followed the man into the house silently, and walked straight to the backyard.
When I entered the main house in the backyard, I saw the owner of the house. He was no one else, but King Gao Che of Zhenbei. He was not wearing a prince's brocade robe and a five-bead crown on his head. He was just dressed as an ordinary warrior. He looked simple, but his aura was not weak at all.
is more strong and upright than before, and her eyebrows, eyes, face is more tough and pleasing, and she looks more calm and restrained. She is so breathtaking that she can't take her eyes open. She is paced back and forth in the room, as if she is anxious to wait for someone.
For a moment, I really couldn't understand. He didn't live there, so why did he live in a low-key manner? Is it really a capital that no imperial decree sneaked back to?
"Child, is it mine?"
He held his hands and stood there. After carefully looking at Luo'er and me, the corners of his lips rose slightly, looking forward to asking.
looked at him for a long time, and I hesitated for a long time and directly denied, "No."
Because I didn't know whether he hated me, he damaged his reputation and was punished to leave Beijing and go to the border for many years to guard. The hardships and dangers can be imagined.
Moreover, I'm not sure whether he likes me. What if he wants to leave my mother and son and take away my Luo'er? I can't fight him.
In addition, in the current situation, the prince regards him as a thorn in his eyes. He wants to remove it quickly, and even he cannot protect himself. How can he protect Luo'er from suffering?
I really can't put Luo'er in danger and don't consider it for its safety and long-term.
"Is this child not born to you?"
Gao Che's eyes were a little lost, sad, and he asked again without giving up.
"No, it's adoption." I answered very firmly.
"Mom, who is he?" Luo'er kept observing Gao Che and suddenly couldn't help asking.
For a moment, I really didn't know how to answer, so I simply remained silent and refused to answer.
"Mother?" Luo'er shouted with confusion.
Gao Che suddenly walked towards us and stretched out his hands to hold the child, but I was instinctively retreated and refused, which made him frown and said angrily: "Gu Qinglan, can't you treat me honestly? Do you really hate me so much?"
"No..." I hurriedly denied it and explained in panic, "We are dirty and have a odor. We shouldn't have dirty your highness's hands."
is as hot as today. Yesterday I was poured into soup again, and the soup was left on my clothes. Now it's odor. Luo'er has been staying in my arms. Naturally, he has a odor on his body. In addition, when we stayed in the woodshed for a long time, the odor was even heavier.
Moreover, today I am no longer the same as I was five years ago. I don’t wear thick clothes and linens, and I don’t use any makeup. It’s almost no different from those maids. I really don’t want him to get closer and see it, so as not to feel disgusted or disliked.
"Hmph——"
Hearing me honorific title with respect, Gao Che frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, looked at me depressedly, but said nothing.
"Your Highness, can we stay here for a night? And take a bath and wash it?"
Hearing my extraordinary request, Gao Che walked out in a gloomy way and told the servants to prepare bath water, change clothes, and dinner for us. Then he went to the man who brought us to find out the situation.
It was not until this time that I realized that the man who saved us was Qin Kuo.
I first helped Luo'er take a shower and wash, wipe her hair, and put on clean clothes. Then I went to take a shower and wash myself and changed into clean clothes.
Wait for me to wipe my long hair. After coming out of the bathroom, Luo'er and Gao Che were already together. There was no barrier. He sat in his arms, eating chicken legs, smiling from ear to ear, and calling his father casually. He didn't seem to have met for a while.
"Come here to have a meal." Gao Che hugged Luo'er and said to me naturally.
"Yes."
I couldn't help but walk forward nervously. When I sat at the desk, I picked up the handkerchief and wiped Luo'er's hands. Because he was eating chicken legs, the oil was stuck all over his hands and it flowed to his wrist.
"Luo'er sits down and eats the dishes and chopsticks by himself."
"No, I want my father to hug you."
Luo'er said proudly and proudly, which made me very depressed. I didn't know what to say, either beating or scolding or denying, but Gao Che was full of relief and smiled without saying a word.
"Who said he is your father? Sit it!" I said with a straight face.
"You can't be honest? I really think I don't know anything?" Gao Che said meaningfully.
"Father..." Luo'er screamed in grievance.
I felt sad for a moment, tears in my eyes, and I had nothing to say. Then I lowered my head and picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating, no longer asking for anything.
"I have sent you many letters, why don't you reply at once?"
ate silently for a long time, Gao Che suddenly asked calmly.
I was shocked and raised my head because I had never received it, "When will there be a letter? I have never seen it before."
Seeing that I didn't seem to be lying, he asked helplessly: "I have sent someone to pick you up many times, but you have never received any news? Not that you refused? "
" No message has been passed to me, I don't know. "
I was even more surprised. In the past five years, I either lived in the countryside outside the city or in the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I rarely went out. Where can I receive any news?
" It's all over, so I have to eat well. "
Gao Che suddenly felt relieved, smiled and said with a smile.
My mood was very complicated, and I couldn't help but feel mixed feelings, and I didn't say anything else.

At night, Luo'er, who was new to his father, stood happily on the couch, jumping around, excitedly refusing to sleep.
I finally persuaded him to lie down and sleep, but he suddenly asked: "Mom, can we stay there, don't have to leave? "
" No, this place is not our home..." I pulled the skull and covered it with him, "We will leave in a few days. "
" You won't go anywhere, just stay here. "
Gao Che suddenly opened the curtain and sat on the couch, which made me panic. I hurriedly sat up and wanted to keep a distance, but he pressed his chest and shoulders and pressed back on the couch. Then he began to untickle my belt with one hand and pull my inner clothes open, which made me even more panic. I hurriedly pushed him and tried my best to stop him from going further, "Gao Che, what are you going to do? In front of the child...shameless, rogue! Stop..."
"Mother..." Luo'er hurriedly climbed up and stood up, becoming very nervous and scared again, and screamed at a loss.
"You dare to say that Luo'er was not born to you? "
Seeing the light and thin marks on my belly, Gao Che suddenly said with a smile, looking as if he had expected, he would not have thought of cheating him, and he smiled very happily.
"I have asked an old woman that such marks are only found on the belly of a woman who has given birth to a child. "
said it quite confidently and laughed very annoyingly. I was immediately annoyed. I pushed him away with all my might, sat up to tidy up my clothes, and angrily said, "So what? Can you protect Luo'er's comprehensiveness? "
" This is natural! "Gao Che blurted out with confidence, and said with a meaningful smile, "So you are worried about this." "
I reached out to hug Luo'er, stroked his head to comfort him, and casually asked out the doubts in my heart: "Why don't you live in the royal palace? Live here. "
" I was returning to Beijing under a secret order. I have important matters to do, but it is not advisable to make it public. "
"Are you fighting for the position of crown prince? "
I asked directly, and suddenly I hope he will fight and win. Anyway, I am already in the cage of power, either hunters or prey, I don't want him to become prey, and I will not die well in the end.
And Luo'er and I will naturally not become prey anymore and will be slaughtered in the future. I have had enough to let others trampl on my life and stay alive. It is naturally time to return Gao Xiu's malicious harm to double down.
But Gao Che smiled but said nothing, stretched out his hand to touch Luo'er's little face, but did not answer.
I continued, "The prince is now of a bad character and narrow-minded. If he becomes the emperor in the future, you will definitely not be able to survive. It is better to fight for him, and maybe there will be a way out. "
Gao Che smiled and stroked my face, and said meaningfully: "In the future, can I make you the best? "
I was shocked and then I felt that he was simply joking, "Aren't you afraid of jokes from all over the world? "
I was disgraced and notorious. I was originally a foreshadowing princess who was abandoned by the royal family. Not to mention being the queen in the future, I was not qualified to become the princess of Zhenbei.
The incident five years ago, although Gao Che was one of the parties involved and had Luo'er because of this, it was not a glorious thing that could be on the table. It was an existence that shamed the royal family and a huge joke. It was definitely impossible for me to be accepted by the royal family again.
"I don't care!" Gao Che said solemnly, "Because you deserve it, Luo'er is also worth it."
In his heart, he must have his own plans and plans. However, I can't have any extravagant hopes, otherwise the disappointment will be huge, I will not be able to bear it, and Luo'er can't bear it even more.
Of course, if I need my help, I will definitely help him, help him ascend to the throne and become the 1955th emperor.
"It's getting late, your highness will go and rest quickly."
I put down Luo'er and lie down while tactfully driving people. I really can't be involved with him anymore.
"Don't you believe me?" Gao Che asked in a loss.
"You may really don't mind, but many people will mind. I don't want Luo'er to be hurt." While lying down with my back to him, I suddenly remembered something and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, I took on everything back then, so that I was not sentenced to death."
The incident happened that year, and Your Majesty was furious and determined that I had corrupted my personal morality and had no morality, which ruined the royal face and reputation. Gao Che took over everything and stopped me at will. Therefore, my life is also given by him.
Gao Che said nothing, suddenly got up and went out the lights, then turned back, and lay directly behind me, which made me panic, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
"Well, go to bed." He moved directly to me and hugged me without any scruples, "In my heart, you are already my only princess. I will protect you and Luo'er, don't worry."
"Yes."
I didn't want to argue anything anymore, I just responded perfunctorily, then pretended to be calm and lying motionless, and tried my best to suppress the rushing and nervous heartbeat.
Gao Che respects me very much, does not make any extraordinary moves, and sleeps peacefully until dawn.
But when I woke up naturally, I didn’t know when he had already gotten up and went out and was busy with things. After
, no one was seen for several consecutive days, and I don’t know what to do. All the affairs in the house were left to the housekeeper to take care of, and nothing unexpected happened.
However, Prince Gao Xiu suddenly led his troops in to search, while Luo'er and I were playing in the courtyard, and there was no time to avoid him.
"Gu Qinglan, you are really shameless. You have an affair with someone before you marry, and you have a pregnant woman. Now you are hiding with your adulterer. You must have lost all the face of the Gu family, right?"
soldiers rushed into the house to search for evidence about Gao Che. When Gao Xiu saw me, he was still holding Luo'er in his arms, and he spoke ill directly, and humiliated and mocked him with all his contempt. His eyes were very complicated, as if he was filled with endless hatred.
I hugged Luo'er tightly and covered his ears. I asked annoyedly: "I have no grudges with you, and I have never hurt you. Why do you hate me so much? Do you have to put me to death?"
Gao Xiu frowned, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were sinister. He hesitated for a moment before he said viciously: "Because you have Gao Che in your heart, do you really think I can't see it? Every time you see him, your eyes will be If you can't hide it, you love him, and that is, if you are an enemy of me, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!" "
" So that's it. Then I really should thank His Highness the Prince for not marrying and the beauty of becoming an adult, so that I and the King of Zhenbei finally have the fate to become a one-night couple and have a child. Thank you! Thank you! "
I tried my best to respond calmly, and I wanted to piss Gao Xiu to death directly. After all, he is really too hateful and too vicious.

I really love Gao Che in my heart. Since I met him at a Lantern Festival, I have been filled with him for ten thousand years at a glance.
When I met him again in the palace, I was very sure that I wanted to marry him as my wife, and it would be enough to love him for the rest of my life.
However, looking at his handsome and bright appearance, I couldn't help but feel that I was not perfect enough and could not be worthy of him at all. Therefore, I have always secretly liked him, and I didn't know whether he would like me too.
When I received the marriage edict, my heart was dead. When he was punished to leave Beijing to guard the border because of me, my heart was completely dead and I dared not have any expectations or extravagant hopes for him again.
In his heart, he should have resentment towards me! I blamed me for ruining his future, but I just didn't show it.
"I'm so ashamed, I'm simply ashamed!" Gao Xiu cursed fiercely.
"Hmph!" I couldn't help but sneer and replied with a smile, "Isn't this what the prince's expect? You have won everything, and it's hard to say whether you can laugh to the end."
Gao Xiu's eyes suddenly turned vicious, and he pressed towards Luo'er and me step by step, and said viciously: "You will definitely not know whether I can laugh to the end, but whether you mother and son can live to the end, I know very well."
"Is the prince so impatient? I have to come to the door to grab the evidence of the crime in person?"
Gao Che, with his guard, suddenly walked in from the outside and said mockingly.
"Gao Che! You have indeed sneaked back to the capital long ago, and you have no imperial edict to return to the capital, but you are a death sentence!" Gao Xiu said sinisterly.
"I am returning to Beijing under a secret order. What crimes are there? On the contrary, you are favoritism and abuse of power, indulging military merchants to collude with soldiers, corrupt soldiers, greedy for military pay, smuggling good horses, selling goods, and all the evidence has been presented to the hands of the father. It depends on how you can cut off your tail and protect yourself."
"Gao Che... I want to kill you!"
Gao Xiu suddenly became angry and furious. He took the sword of the guard next to him, and slashed forward, trying to take Gao Che's life.
Gao Che reacted very quickly and directly pulled the sword of the guard beside him to resist the slash. Then he kicked forward with a kick, knocked the long sword on Gao Xiu's hand down with his backhand, and then put the long sword on his neck.
At the same time, the guard Qin Kuo directly pulled me in shock and stood aside, protecting me behind him to prevent Luo'er and I from being injured by the blade.
"From childhood, I have never lost whenever I want to win. I have been guarding the frontier for many years, leading troops to fight no less than a hundred battles, and being assassinated by you for no less than a hundred times, but I can still stand in front of you. How do you win me?"
knife holds the neck and shoulders of prey, and looks like a hunter attitude. Gao Che asked coldly and sharply.
Relying on the identity of the prince, with a guard present, Gao Xiu was not afraid, and directly retorted: "Just fighting for the crown prince, I won in the end. I am the crown prince. You are just a five-pearl prince. Can you plot against the crown prince? If your father doesn't move me, who dares to move me?"
"Hmph!" Gao Che couldn't help but sneer, "You are not the first prince, nor the last one. You have never thought that the reason why you can win is that maybe someone else let you win?"
"Impossible! Gao Che, you are not arrogant and proud, put the knife down for me!" Gao Xiu scolded in anger.
Gao Che did not obey, but pushed the knife forward, causing Gao Xiu to instinctively raise his head to avoid the sharp blade and cut into the neck and throat.
"In your heart, I actually like Qinglan, right? For the sake of power, you are really cruel and ruthless, and can do anything, and even ruin her reputation. If I had known that she would have been elected as the crown princess, do you think you could still become the crown prince?"
Gao Xiu turned his head to look at me, his expression a little complicated and ugly, with a hint of sadness, but he did not refute anything.
Gao Che withdrew his knife and ordered to expel the guest, "You go, the father will decide everything, and all the evidence is no longer in my hands."
Gao Xiu said nothing, and led his troops away angrily, no longer wasted time and did unnecessary dealings.
I held Luo'er and turned around and went into the house. I saw that the house was being chaotic, which was even more serious than being robbed by thieves. I was too lazy to deal with it, so I sat on the couch and ignored anything.
"Have you scared?"
Gao Che then followed into the house, sat directly beside me and took Luo'er away, and asked calmly.
"No."
I was so angry that I really felt tired. There was fighting everywhere, and there was no peaceful and relaxed place, and it was not something I could fight before. I really don't know where to go.
"Go and clean up the supplies and go back to the royal palace today." Gao Che said, stroking Luo'er's head.
I was too lazy to say no to refuse, and I didn't want to encounter any previous events again. I let Luo'er be frightened and in danger again, so I stood up silently and went to pack my luggage directly.

When Luo'er and I rode a carriage with Gao Che, it was already evening.
Just after entering the mansion, a woman from the foreign land suddenly greeted me. When she saw Gao Che, she was very excited to open her hands to hug her. She said with surprise and excitement: "Gao Che, I finally found you! You can't hide!"
But Gao Che held Luo'er in his arms, but directly led me to turn around and give in, letting the woman hug her directly, and asked a little displeasure: "Hebaying, why are you here?"
"I'll look for you, I finally found it." The woman named Hebaying was not angry, and turned to face Gao Che, and asked with a smile, "Who is this child?"
She behaved boldly, looking at her clothes, a little rough and cumbersome, looking at her hairstyle and thin braids, she didn't look like a woman from the Han area, but more like a Hu people from the Western Regions or the North. She was a bit similar to those charming Hu dancers at the palace banquet. It wouldn't be surprising if she was the girlfriend or concubine that Gao Che was looking for in the frontier.
"My son." Gao Che said directly.
"Your son? You haven't married yet, and you have a family? How could you have a son?" He Baying was hit in an instant, his face was gloomy and turned to look at me, "Then she?"
"The princess in my house, Gu Qinglan."
I was not happy at all when I heard Gao Che say decisively, because I was guilty. It was useless to just say yes, or use me as a shield. The royal family did not recognize him. In the future, he officially married the princess. I was that big joke.
Moreover, if it is not voluntarily recognized, but is forced to admit it, nothing is meaningless.
I turned around and hugged Luo'er directly, walking in silently, not wanting to participate in Gao Che's emotional entanglement, and became his tool for getting rid of his romantic debt.
"It doesn't matter! I'm going to be bigger, she's going to be small, or she's going to be big, I'm going to be small! Anyway, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter how big or small." Behind
, Hebaying was not much heartbroken, and quickly accepted the reality and said readily.
Gao Che immediately refused decisively, "Dream you! When did I say I would marry you? Hurry up and go back and forth! I can't tolerate you."
"No, I came to the capital that I traveled thousands of miles apart and ignored the danger, just to find you. You can't be so cruel and abandon me." He Baying said coquettishly.
After I carried Luo'er into the backyard, I put him down and led him around the gardens of the royal palace with him. I didn't want to care about anything, but wanted to let it go. After all, many things cannot be forced.
However, Gao Che has been away for many years and does not live in the mansion. The gardens in the mansion seem rather desolate. In addition, autumn is coming, the leaves on the trees are yellow, there are no flowers in the garden, and there are no fish in the pond, so few people seem to take care of them carefully.
In addition, there are not many servants. Luo'er and I walked for a long time and we didn't see anyone.
While having supper, I met Hebaying again. Because she came from the Western Regions alone, she had nowhere to go, and she had little money left, and she was so pestering that she didn't want to leave, so she lived in the palace.
At the dinner table, I didn't say anything, just helped Luo'er pick fishbones and take care of him for food. Gao Che rarely spoke, and Hebaying was chattering non-stop.
From the words, we can know that she had saved the injured Gao Che and had injured him, so the relationship was not the same.
"Sister, how did you and Gao Che know each other?" Heba Ying asked suddenly.
I hesitated for a moment and replied coldly: "I met at the palace banquet, so I met."
"Didn't I meet at the Lantern Festival? You were only in the throne that year." Gao Che suddenly interrupted.
I couldn't help but suddenly skip a beat. It turned out that he remembered it! But I didn't say anything. Everything was no longer the first love I had when I was back then, I was no longer simple, and I could no longer have extravagant hopes.
"What is Lantern Festival? Isn't it fun?" Hebaying asked with interest.
"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. There will be lantern displays at Lantern Festival, which is the Lantern Festival. Most of the young men and women will meet and go out together." Gao Che explained coldly.
"That must be very fun. Let's go together next time." Hebaying said with anticipation.
"Luo'er, okay, don't eat too much meat at night, just drink another sip of soup."
After Luo'er drank the soup and left the table, I quickly had dinner and left the dining room, and didn't want to stay any longer.
"Mom, the big black dog is here, wow..."
At night, on the couch, Luo'er refused to sleep for a long time, wearing a quilt and playing with the light, which made me have no choice but to cooperate with him, touching his head and smiling, "Wow... This big dog is really black, and its teeth are really sharp, but there are no bones to chew. What should I do?"
"Big dog doesn't have bones, it wants to eat fish." Luo'er shook her head and said.
"Do you want to eat fish? There is no fish either, what should I do?"
"Then I need to hug you."
"Okay, give me a hug, haha..."
Just at this moment, Luo'er and I were having fun, Gao Che was wearing his inner clothes, suddenly lifted the curtain and sat on the couch. It seemed that there was anything wrong or they were going to sleep with each other.
"Is there something wrong?" I restrained my emotions and asked tentatively.
"Do you have any misunderstandings in your heart?"
Gao Che took Luo'er away from my arms and asked directly.
"What can I have misunderstanding? Even if there is, what can I do?"
"There is nothing between me and Hebaying, you really don't have to take it to your heart."
When I heard him say this, I suddenly felt a little angry. There is nothing between me and Hebaying, and can't I have anything with other women? There will be more concubines, concubines, and concubines in the future, right? What can I count as?
Since it is nothing, why bother explaining it? Let me feel hope? Wouldn't it be nice to let me give up?
"Whether there is or not, what does it have to do with me? If you get married in the future, what is Luo'er's identity? "
Suddenly, Gao Che frowned and was very angry. He put his eyebrows on the back of my neck and kissed my lips directly. He took it enthusiastically, and bit my lower lip like a punishment. He said seriously and solemnly: "You are the concubine and Luo'er are the prince. Am I not clear enough? What are you still worried about?"
My tears suddenly came down. It is enough for him to have this heart. I dare not have any extravagant hopes anymore.
Luo'er may be accepted by the royal family, but he cannot become a legitimate son. And I can no longer be accepted by the royal family, so there is no need to have any expectations. It is the most correct and wise to accept reality.
"Mother..."
Seeing me crying, Luo'er suddenly felt a little nervous and reached out to hug her.
I hugged him and let him lie down and sleep. Then I lay down with me, pulled the quilt and covered it, then wiped my tears and comforted me: "It's okay, mom is okay, Luo'er, let's sleep."
"Hmm.""
Luo'er crawled into my arms directly, like a young beast threatened and hurt, very worried and dependent on the response.
I hugged him, as if I was holding everything, only him is the most important to me, and it must not be lost. The others are secondary and dispensable. It is an existence that should not be deeply harmed by the extravagant hope, so let's just forget it!
Why do you have to bet and find the most serious existence? (original title: "Beast in a Cage (Part 1)")
