The old east wind comes to dream

King Yu's sudden fury and attack on Concubine Pei caught everyone by surprise.

Gu Zizhan was also surprised by the profound meaning in King Yu's words for a moment.

No wonder Liu Xi was not seen, but he was secretly dealt with by King Yu!Seeing Concubine Pei kneeling in front of her, with disheveled hair and unrecognizable face, she couldn't remain indifferent after all.In desperation, Gu Zizhan looked at King Yu, and said tentatively, "Father, it's the New Year now, since Mrs. Side knows she's wrong, why don't you let this matter go?"

King Yu glanced at her and snorted coldly.At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, it was Hu Pei who was going to see off the mother and son of the princess, and she came back.King Yu flicked his sleeves, and told Hu Pei to take Concubine Pei down, and shut her up in her own yard to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. No one was allowed to visit her, let alone take half a step without permission.After that, he turned and walked out.

After walking two steps, she looked back at Gu Zizhan, and she hurriedly followed.

Gu Zizhan followed King Yu all the way to his study.

At this time, King Yu had lost the frightening rage before, and had returned to his indifferent appearance.

After Gu Zizhan sat down, King Yu Youyou drank a cup of tea and opened his mouth. "Ache, do you know why the father punished Mrs. Pei?"

Gu Zizhan was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "It's Concubine Pei who has arrogant self-esteem and lost her dignity."

King Yu glanced at her, sighed suddenly, and his voice was a little gentle: "I am sorry for you. This matter is a family scandal in the end. I thought that if she knew how to restrain herself, there would be no need to talk about it." It would be embarrassing if the matter was uncovered, but she thought that no one knew about it, so she became even more arrogant, and she couldn't ignore it."

Facing Gu Zizhan's dazed expression, King Yu continued, "Ache, in fact, the two assassinations you encountered earlier were all done by Mrs. Pei."

Gu Zizhan did not expect that King Yu would reveal the past at this time.

What King Yu said next was almost exactly the same as the news she asked Duan Yong to investigate.

From the beginning, Concubine Pei bribed Liu Xi and placed Qiuxia next to Gu Zizhan.When her plan failed, she jumped over the wall in a hurry and asked her maid Lu He to poison her.King Yu said that Qiuxia committed suicide after a failed assassination attempt, and Luhe was silenced after being poisoned.Liu Xi cheated on the outside, concealed it and refused to report it, and was executed by King Yu.So far, there is only one mastermind left - Concubine Pei, who has not yet been punished.

According to King Yu's wishes, the family ugliness should not be publicized, and thinking about Gu Hong, it is not good to make it public.So concubine Pei was spared for the first time, and she was claustrophobic to see if she was safe in the future.

Gu Zizhan naturally had no objection.

King Yu was certain that the results of these people's disposal were indeed reasonable from his point of view, and Gu Zizhan's original doubts were basically dispelled.She couldn't decide what to do, so she replied that it was all up to King Yu, but she felt a little uncomfortable.The look in Qiuxia's eyes before she died, after such a long time, she still can't forget it.

Gu Zizhan's attitude satisfied King Yu.So, those old things from earlier were brought to the fore, King Yu said that he would take Gu Hong out and arrange a separate courtyard, so that Gu Zizhan could visit him more often when he had time.

Originally, King Yu didn't seem to like Gu Zizhan's meddling in Gu Hong's affairs, but now it's changed, and Gu Zizhan doesn't know what he intends to do.

After asking a few more questions about Gu Zizhan's situation in Dali Temple, King Yu suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "Your master, Daoist Yuanxu, will come in a few days, and you will be with me when the time comes. I understand. As the eldest son of the royal family, both your father and your master value you very much, and this king has done a lot for you. Now that you are grown up, it is time to share your father's worries."

Gu Zizhan had no choice but to agree, but he was shocked in his heart, could it be that King Yu finally couldn't bear it, and wanted to break up with her?

Seeing that she agreed, King Yu had nothing to say.He played a few games of chess with Gu Zizhan, and then let her go back by herself.

The next day is New Years.

Gu Zizhan went to congratulate King Yu and Princess Yu on the New Year early in the morning, and was rewarded with something. Princess Yu was in a good mood, and left Gu Zizhan to have breakfast with Gu Qing.

On the way back, Gu Zizhan thought of Gu Hong, so he turned to his new yard to have a look.

Liu An originally walked behind her with Chunhui and Duan Yong, Gu Zizhan thought about it, and sent him back to sort out the things to be sent to the Chu Mansion.

After Liu An left, Gu Zizhan kept the others away, and asked Duan Yong, "Cong Yi, do you know what relationship Liu An has with that Liu Xi?"

Duan Yong thought for a while and replied cautiously: "My lord, these two people have nothing to do with each other on the surface. Liu Xi is serving the prince in a little cleansing. He has no relatives and no reason. Liu An was bought into the mansion three years ago. Yes, the subordinates went to check his net worth personally, his parents are both dead, and he only has a half-paralyzed aunt. The two people have different birthplaces and different accents, so there shouldn't be any relationship."

Gu Zizhan nodded, still a little worried, and asked Duan Yong to find someone to go to Liu An's hometown to check.Liu Xi was secretly executed by King Yu, so why did Liu An take a day off on the first day after Liu Xi's death by such a coincidence before others knew about it?And red and swollen eyes?Is it really just a coincidence? I'm afraid it's too coincidental!

Arriving at the gate of Gu Hong's courtyard, before Gu Zizhan entered, he heard the cry of a child from inside.

She was anxious, and walked in a few steps faster.

All the familiar faces who followed Gu Hong in the courtyard were gone, and there were a few guards and servants who had never seen before the main house. In addition to Gu Hong's crying, they could also hear the scolding of the nuns.Gu Zizhan couldn't help feeling angry, and strode over.

Seeing Gu Zizhan, everyone quickly knelt down to salute. Gu Zizhan was so angry that he ignored these people at all. He went straight to the door of the main room, kicked the door open and broke in.

In the room, Gu Hong was crying out of breath, and there was a clear slap mark on his chubby little face.There were several nuns standing beside her, and one of them had just withdrawn her raised hand.

Seeing such a scene, Gu Zizhan didn't understand anything.Thinking that these people dared to attack Gu Hong, they stepped forward and kicked the nurse who was closest to the front fiercely in the heart.

Just as the man was about to speak up to defend himself, he was kicked by Gu Zizhan and rolled to the ground with a scream.

Seeing this, the nuns next to them knelt on the ground in fright, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Seeing this, Duan Yong behind him immediately asked the accompanying guards to hold them down, and raised his eyes to ask Gu Zizhan what he meant.

Gu Zizhan said coldly: "Nurses are so majestic! My Prince Yu's mansion is full of moon silver flowers every month, and my little master is doing it casually. I don't know that there are such good jobs in the world!" Looking at Duan Yong, Gu Zizhan ordered: "Drag these evil slaves! Treat them as you did to the third son just now! From now on, I don't want to see these people again!"

Duan Yong quickly took orders, and asked the guards to drag a few people up and walk out.

Gu Zizhan stepped forward and gently embraced Gu Hong, who buried himself in her shoulder, sobbing nonstop.

Gu Zizhan softened his voice, touched Gu Hong's head, and comforted him: "Xiao Hong is not afraid, I'm here, big brother will protect you."

Gu Hong hugged her tightly, lowered his head, and his crying gradually died down.

Gu Zizhan patted him, "Xiao Hong, go with big brother, big brother will find a doctor to look at your injury, after applying the medicine, the pain will go away."

Gu Hong raised his head from her arms, his big eyes were full of water vapor, and when he blinked, tears fell down again.Gu Zizhan wiped his eyes for him, and then Gu Hong choked up and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid, I want my mother! These people came here last night, and they started beating people as soon as they came in, bleeding a lot. Well, those nuns and servants who were serving were all dragged away by them. They still, still didn’t allow me to look for my mother again. I said I missed my mother, and they scolded me, and I talked too much, and they beat me Me." After saying that, he couldn't help crying again, Xiaopang wiped his eyes with his hands, feeling very sad.

Gu Zizhan knew in his heart that these people must have been sent by King Yu.Seeing Concubine Pei lose power, they didn't even pay attention to Gu Hong, so they dared to attack him so boldly.Gu Zizhan was angry, and laughed at those short-sighted people, I'm afraid they are destined to die.King Yu's attitude towards this matter was to make big things into small ones and avoid fanfare, just to save his own face.Besides, even if King Yu didn't like Concubine Pei any more, this Gu Hong was also his own son, and if he beat Gu Hong, it would hurt his face.They acted in such a high-profile way, King Yu would definitely not ignore them.

Gu Zizhan was not afraid that King Yu would know what happened today, so he simply picked up Gu Hong and went back to her own yard.

Carrying the little fat man all the way back, comforting and making him happy, Gu Zizhan felt his arms were sore and numb as if he had lifted an iron, and his hands were trembling when he went back to his room to drink tea.

Gu Hong had stopped crying, his little face was red and wrinkled, and he was leaning against Gu Zizhan, completely lacking the usual expression.

Gu Zizhan also felt sorry for him.Thinking back now, when King Yu was suddenly furious the night before and sent concubine Pei down, Gu Hong was watching the audience from the sidelines.He saw his father's ruthlessness and his mother's embarrassing begging, how could he not be panicked.Before he had time to catch his breath, he witnessed the servants he was familiar with being beaten and abused.

As for the fate of those servants who disappeared around Gu Hong and served them in the past, there is no need to think too much about it, they must have been dealt with by King Yu just like Liu Xi was treated.

Thinking of this, when Liu An came back to reply, Gu Zizhan ordered him to report to the king of Yu, and explained clearly the fact that Gu Hong was beaten by the slaves, and then explained that he would place Gu Hong with her in the next few days, and ask the king of Yu to take care of him. After those evil slaves are dealt with, we will arrange where Gu Hong will go in the future.No matter what, she couldn't bear Gu Hong to suffer any more.

After sitting with Gu Hong for a while, watching the doctor in the mansion give him medicine, Gu Zizhan got up and prepared to go to Chu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.Now that she is the prospective son-in-law of the Chu family, she naturally wants to come to the door in person.

Gu Hong obviously hasn't come out of the shadow before, seeing that she is about to go out, he grabs her sleeve with his little hands and looks at her pitifully, afraid of being left behind again.Gu Zizhan had no choice but to take this little fat man with him after thinking about it.Although the nanny beat Gu Hong, she was still a little scrupulous about his identity and didn't dare to hit him hard. Now that the medicine has been applied, the slap marks on his face have dissipated a lot, but it's not obvious.

When Gu Hong heard that he was going to the Chu Mansion, he guessed that he might see Chu Lan, so he felt a little guilty, and followed Gu Zizhan all the way, hiding behind her, like a timid fat rabbit.

Gu Zizhan looked a little funny, took his little hand, and led him into the gate of Chu Mansion together.

She would never admit that pulling her brother's chubby hand was to embolden herself!
