Shadow Guard, he's a bit good

Chapter 04

Gu Xiao had already changed out of his fluttering immortal robe, and today he was wearing a formal moon-white prince's robe because he was about to enter the palace to face the saint.

When he was about to get on the carriage, Gu Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is this king going alone?"

Ling Qi asked uncertainly: "Who does the lord want to accompany you?"

"Hmm..." Gu Xiao looked around and said, "Nineteen?"

I saw a black shadow flashing in front of me. Nineteen respectfully knelt down in front of Gu Xiao and said, "This subordinate is here!"

Gu Xiao was almost frightened, why did he appear like a ghost.

"Nineteen, you enter the palace with me."

It may be because the first person he saw after crossing was Nineteen, and Nineteen saved him again, so he always felt that Nineteen could bring him a sense of security.

"Yes"

Then Gu Xiao saw the black shadow in front of him flash again and then disappeared in place.

Gu Xiao: ...

You promised to enter the palace with me, why did you disappear again?

Gu Xiao tried to call out again: "Nineteen?"

Nineteen's voice came from a certain direction: "Master's subordinates are secretly protecting you"

Gu Xiao was a little reluctant, did the shadow guard have to be like this, but he didn't know the rules of the shadow guard, so he couldn't say anything, so he got into the carriage regretfully.

Gu Xiao had only seen a place like the imperial palace on TV or in his own imagination. He had seen a truly resplendent imperial palace in his lifetime. It was as big as a maze. If he left him here alone, he would be able to let go.

Gu Xiao was agitated all the way until he was brought to the Xuanzheng Hall by the palace servants before he put away his emotions and pretended to be obedient and courteous.

Xuanzheng Hall is the place where the emperor usually summons his ministers. This time, not only the emperor is there, but also a charming and enchanting woman dressed in jewelry, with a pointed chin and slender eyebrows.

Ling Qi told him that the emperor had a favorite concubine called Concubine Xiao Gui who was the biological mother of the third prince Min Wang Gu Ji, and she must be the one in front of him.

"I have met my father, I have seen Concubine Xiao Gui"

At any rate, watching Gongdouju for so many years is not for nothing, and Gu Xiao still understands the most basic basics.

Before the emperor could speak, he only heard Concubine Xiao giggling and saying, "This child has been stranger to me since I haven't seen him for a while, and he used to call me concubine mother."

The emperor said kindly: "Hey, you can't blame him, Xiao'er, do you really not remember anything?"

"I really can't remember some things, but my father and son still remember."

Gu Xiao's words made the emperor very useful, and he only heard the emperor say with satisfaction: "I have already ordered you to investigate the matter of your assassination, and you don't need to go to court during this period, just rest in peace and heal your wounds."

"My son, thank you father for your compassion"

"Sit down, I have ordered the imperial physician to show you"

"Yes"

Gu Xiao sat aside respectfully. The emperor wanted to confirm whether Gu Xiao really lost his memory. If he couldn't recover, he could take back the military power in Gu Xiao's hands.

After a while, the imperial doctor came in to take Gu Xiao's pulse and asked some questions. The final conclusion was similar to that of the doctor who had seen Gu Xiao before. After all, Gu Xiao didn't really hurt anything. No one knows if what he said is true or not.

Imperial Physician: "My lord is probably suffering from memory loss due to intracranial injury and blood stasis."

It's called a concussion.

Emperor: "When will the memory be restored?"

"Returning to the emperor, it depends on the individual. Maybe it can be recovered in ten and a half months, but there are also some people who can't recover in their lifetime or can only recover part of the memory."

Hearing this, the emperor slapped the table angrily and said: "It's so audacious, I want to investigate and find out who dared to assassinate the current prince."

The emperor was angry and everyone trembled, the imperial physician quickly knelt down and said: "The emperor calm down!"

Gu Xiao also got up quickly and said: "Father, calm down, please take care of the dragon's body."

Concubine Xiao Gui patted the emperor's back like a boneless one, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, isn't Dali Temple already investigating? I think there will be results soon. It will not be too late to seek justice for King Yan."

The emperor seemed to be really comforted, nodded and said: "Well, the emperor will never wrong you about Xiao'er."

"My son knows, thank you father"

In order to show his father's love, the emperor asked Gu Xiao to have lunch with him in the palace.

Don't look at Gu Xiao's calm surface, in fact, there are already [-] mud horses galloping past in his heart. He doesn't want to stay in the palace to eat at all, okay? Staying in the palace for a moment will be more dangerous. He is really afraid that he will be exposed by accident. Gu Xiao has never been so aggrieved at such a young age.

Afraid, but also had to bite the bullet.

The whole meal didn't taste good, and the emperor rewarded Gu Xiao with some things before letting him go. When Gu Xiao got on the carriage, he spread into a ball and patted himself on the chest with lingering fear.

His back and palms are covered with sweat now, and he is completely frightened.

Gu Xiao made up his mind that during the period when the emperor gave him a vacation, he must make up for the knowledge of this world. Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. Only by integrating into this dynasty can he interpret the identity of King Yan without any flaws.

Gu Xiao is a practical man who does what he says and does. He started to delve into it the next day. He asked people to find some anecdotes and allusions from the dynasty to study, and Gu Xiao also had a general understanding of King Yan.

King Yan Gu Xiao, whose biological mother was a beauty who came as a tribute from Fanbang, had no background at all, and was named Concubine Jing after giving birth to Gu Xiao.

As the name suggests, he does not fight or snatch, and is quiet like a background board. It may also be that he knows that he has no strength and background to earn money from others, so he just wants to live in peace.

But sometimes you don’t look for trouble, and trouble will come to you. When King Yan was eight years old, Concubine Jing became a victim of a palace fight, and the young King Yan was also raised by other concubines, who suffered all kinds of ridicule and bullying , almost died several times.

King Yan grew up in adversity, and his temperament was much more mature than children of the same age. In order to save his life, he joined the army at the age of 14. He started as a soldier at the bottom, became a general and made a lot of military exploits.

From then on, no one dared to despise him and bully him, and even the emperor began to look at him with admiration. Until now, when he was in the crown, he was holding a heavy army, and a team of cavalry under him was invincible.

It's just why such a successful prince suddenly disappeared in the end and made him cheap in vain?Gu Xiao couldn't figure it out.

Gu Xiao is a college student who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he himself loves this knowledge, so he still has a lot of experience in understanding ancient culture. Although this dynasty seems to be empty, it does not hinder the living habits and etiquette. Some common sense is similar, if there is something he doesn't understand, he can still ask Ling Qi, Mr. Ling's knowledge will not lose to any famous master in the dynasty, this is what Gu Xiao has seen before.

"Master, this subordinate has brought you some snacks."

Gu Xiao had been studying hard in the study all afternoon, and at this time Shijiu brought tea and snacks and he just took the opportunity to take a rest.

"I'm exhausted to death"

Gu Xiao stretched his waist and hammered his shoulders again. Seeing this, Nineteen immediately pressed Gu Xiao's shoulders.

Moderate weight, Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it comfortably.

About half an hour later, Gu Xiao made Nineteen stop.

Gu Xiao: "Okay, don't press it, does your hand hurt?"

Subconsciously, Gu Xiao picked up Shijiu's hand and rubbed it.

Nineteen is not used to being touched by others, he hastily pulled out his hand and said: "This subordinate is fine, if the master is tired, the subordinate can help the master to press again"

Gu Xiao glanced at the empty palm and was a little disappointed, he said: "No need, this king asked you to do the job of serving tea and water, are you still used to it?"

"Habit, as long as the master orders, the subordinates can do it"

Gu Xiao muttered: "Originally, this king didn't want to punish you, it's because you are too stubborn, really stupid"

Nineteen disagrees, shouldn't he be punished for his ineffective protection of the master, in the past he was punished heavily by the master for doing wrong things, but now it is too cheap to just let him serve tea and water.
