The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

In his previous life, he did not live in the general's mansion, so he did not know who forged the letter and put it in his grandfather's study.

Now that I think about it, I don’t know who found these things in the study and presented them to me.

The enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light. They don't know when the enemy will extend its claws and attack them by surprise.

Gu Mingqing was silent for a moment, and the study fell into silence.

The silent pressure made Gu Fanchu irritated for a moment, but when he saw his grandfather's thoughtful face, he inexplicably calmed down.

Gu Mingqing stood up, fumbled in the bookcase behind him, and turned around to take out a palm-sized box.

He stared at the box for a moment before finally handing it over to the curious-looking girl.

Gu Fanchu took the box with some doubt: "What is this...?"

"Back then, I already knew that the General's Mansion would one day become a place His Majesty would be wary of, so I made plans for my four children long ago.

Although it was dangerous for your aunt to enter the palace, I have also found a way out for her. Your two uncles have also made arrangements, including your mother... Naturally, she also left something for her."

Gu Mingqing sighed slightly, thinking about the plans over the years, and now he felt exhausted.

"It's a pity that your mother has never been close to us and has become increasingly confused over the years. Originally, this thing should have been given to her earlier, but your grandmother stopped me, saying that giving it to her would be no different from giving it to the Marquis' Mansion, and would even put the General's Mansion in an unjust position. So it has remained with me ever since."

Gu Fanchu stroked the ancient patterns and completely agreed with his grandmother's words.

Gu Ruyue is indeed confused, and handing it over to her will only harm the General's Mansion.

At the same time, I was very curious about what was inside.

"Open it and take a look."

Seeing her curiosity, Gu Mingqing did not stop her.

Gu Fanchu pressed the small secret button on the box, and with a click, the box opened.

Inside was a delicate and small black iron token.

Gu Fanchu took it out and placed it in her palm. It was only the size of her palm, and the cold touch made her shiver.

"This is?"

"I've prepared different things for them. This is a secret guard team hidden inside and outside the city. They were among the elite squads under my command back then. Your Majesty was wary and wanted to take them from me, but I divided them into several teams and secretly hid them. This is the token of one of them."

Gu Mingqing spent a lot of effort to replace this elite team of hundreds of people so that the emperor would not have any suspicion.

Gu Fanchu was overjoyed. This was perfect! He had just been thinking about the lack of available people around him, and then his grandfather sent someone to him.

Very good!

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

"You must use them wisely and not mess around with them. If you need them, you can go to a herbal medicine shop called Xuan Yue Tang, find their owner, and tell them the code."

"Yes, Chu'er will not disappoint Grandfather! Grandfather, don't worry, everything Chu'er does is only for the long-term prosperity of the General's Mansion and for my family!"

Gu Fanchu looked at Gu Mingqing sincerely and made his promise.

After leaving his grandfather's study, Gu Fanchu went to Wang's room again and chatted with her for a while, and then his uncle came back from outside.

Gu Fanchu was a little worried, so he gave his uncle some anxious instructions.

In the evening, the whole family gathered together for a rare meal, but the atmosphere was filled with a strong sense of farewell, so everyone left early.

The next day, my uncle was about to leave early in the morning, and the whole family was waiting to see him off at the door.

Gu Fanchu supported the old lady and carefully comforted her to prevent her from getting too emotional.

The family slowly returned home until the team was out of sight.

The old lady and Wang were grieving for several days before they slowly recovered and eased the sadness of parting.

During this period, the emperor unexpectedly sent the imperial physician to visit again. Fortunately, Gu Fanchu was smart. After the imperial physician entered the mansion, he went to his grandfather's yard first and gave him a poison that could temporarily disrupt the body's blood vessels.

When the imperial physician arrived, he saw Gu Mingqing lying on the bed, weak and with a sallow face, and felt that Your Majesty's concerns were completely unnecessary.

However, after carefully taking Gu Mingqing's pulse, he hurried back to the palace to report.

So that Your Majesty can rest assured.

After the imperial physician left, the old lady and the others' faces turned ashen.

Gu Fanchu fed his grandfather the antidote, but no one said anything in the end. Some things were already very clear.

Now, everything the General's Mansion does must be done with caution.

After two days, Gu Fanchu received a letter from Mrs. Zhang in the Shangshu Mansion. He packed up his things and went to see Mrs. Zhang in person.

The Shangshu Mansion is quite far from the General's Mansion. As the sun has started to rise in recent days, Gu Fanchu went out in a carriage.

The Shangshu Mansion is a very exquisite mansion, which was bestowed by His Majesty.

However, Lord Zhang's family is small, and the entire mansion seems a little deserted.

Knowing that Gu Fanchu was going, Mrs. Zhang waited at the door in person. As soon as she got off the carriage, she immediately took her hand affectionately and pulled her into the house.

As you enter the mansion, you can see all kinds of flowers and vines carefully cultivated throughout the yard, which is enough to show the owner's mood.

It is the season when flowers bloom, and the colorful sea of ​​flowers in the yard makes people happy.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Gu Fanchu was very interested, and she patiently introduced her to the various varieties of flowers in the yard along the way.

When we got to the hall, we saw many uniquely shaped potted plants on the tables, and celadon vases filled with flowers of corresponding colors.

Gu Fanchu couldn't help but sigh that Mrs. Zhang was indeed an outlier in the capital. She was someone who loved life so much and her life must be very fulfilling.

As soon as he sat down, the maid brought up the scented tea. Gu Fanchu took a sip and found it sweet and refreshing, with a unique flavor.

However, she also noticed that Madam Zhang seemed to want to say something but hesitated, so she did not delay any longer and asked the maid to put a soft cushion on the table and take Madam Zhang's pulse.

The young girl sitting at the table was unusually serious and solemn, completely different from her previous self.

Mrs. Zhang also held her breath for a moment, fearing that there was something really wrong with her body.

After a while, Gu Fanchu was seen frowning, which made everyone around him nervous.

"Has Mrs. Zhang ever been pregnant before?"

Judging from her pulse, Mrs. Zhang's constitution may make it difficult for her to conceive, but it's not completely impossible for her to get pregnant.

It seems that she suffered an injury in the back, which made her body so weak that it was difficult for her to conceive.

"My husband and I have been married for ten years, and we haven't been pregnant yet. Why do you ask this, Princess? Is there something seriously wrong with my body?"

Mrs. Zhang felt a little sad. If it was really a problem with her body, then the blame for her husband's family not being able to pass on the heir would really be on her.

Then how should she explain this to her husband? How should she explain this to her ancestors?
