The old east wind comes to dream

When Gu Zizhan woke up, he found himself lying on the floor of the study.It was pitch black outside the window, the lone star hung high, and the night was as cold as ice.It turned out that she just passed out.

She leaned against the table and sat down, recalling the dream-like picture in her mind.

What Gu Che found was an ancient book, the pages were yellowed and somewhat torn.However, the content recorded above caused Gu Che to completely collapse after reading it, and it also made Gu Zizhan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave at this time.

It was an ancient book related to the stars, and it recorded a secret method, a big secret that could change the world and change one's life.

It turned out that the so-called change of fate was like this!It turned out that what King Yu had in mind was so shameless!

Not only did he want to replace Emperor Tianshun as the ruler of the world, but he also intended to use extremely cruel means to exchange Gu Zizhan's so-called Ziwei fate for himself!

Cannon fire, inch folding, and even human hogs, all the tortures I have heard before, are not one-tenth as tragic as this method!

At this time, Gu Zizhan had completely given up on King Yu.He's not a father at all, he's not human, he's a total, deranged demon.As for Daoist Yuanxu, Gu Zizhan sneered in his heart, faced with the power at his fingertips, would he really be willing to let go?

One is greedy and stupid, the other is sinister and cunning, all of the same breed!

Because of her prior instructions, no servants came to disturb her, and no lights were lit in the study.Sitting in the dark, Gu Zizhan suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly.

For more than twenty years, she has never done harm to anyone.But in such a dangerous situation, she has no choice but to face the dragon, she might as well become a dragon.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.Gu Zizhan was worried that he would suffer from insomnia, but he did not expect that it would be a rare good sleep.

No one came to disturb him, so Gu Zizhan put on his clothes and called Chunhui to fetch water to wash up.After tidying up, I saw Gu Hong running in bouncing around.

Gu Zizhan subconsciously reached out to catch him, and asked with a smile: "Xiaohong is in a good mood today."

Gu Hong nestled in her arms, looked up at Gu Zizhan, suddenly a little surprised, touched the end of Gu Zizhan's eyebrows with his small hand, and asked, "Big brother, why is your red mole getting redder?"

Gu Zizhan was also a little strange. He reached out for the bronze mirror and looked it over. He also found that this mole, which seemed to be the most different from her original appearance, was indeed redder than before.After thinking about it, he said to Gu Hong, "Maybe it's because he didn't rest, and when his face turns pale, it looks red here."

However, Gu Hong started to giggle, and said in a childish voice, "It's probably because you are often with me, Xiao Hong, that your body turns red."

Gu Zizhan laughed loudly, but he didn't take it seriously, picked him up, talked and laughed with him and went out to have lunch.

In the next few days, Gu Zizhan was still summoned by King Yu and Daoist Yuanxu from time to time to listen in on their discussions with his staff on government affairs.King Yu mentioned several times that he wanted to arrange for Gu Zizhan to be released to Jiangnan after a while. King Yu had a deep foundation in Jiangnan, and he also vaguely planned to let her take care of some things alone.For Gu Zizhan, this is also an opportunity to go deep into the tiger's den.

After she knew about King Yu's plan, she never thought of reporting it to Emperor Tianshun.As more and more memory fragments appeared in her mind, she knew clearly that Emperor Tianshun was definitely not as magnanimous as he showed.Like King Yu, Emperor Tianshun also believed in the destiny, otherwise he would not have executed Yuan Daocheng's family. In the past ten years, he has continuously sent secret guards to destroy books related to celestial phenomena among the people, and wantonly hunted down all those who have anything to do with celestial phenomena. innocent people.

This world is far from being as peaceful and peaceful as it seems.It has only been 30 years since the founding of the Tai/Zu Dynasty, under the illusion of prosperity, there has been an undercurrent of the building's collapse.

Gu Zizhan took advantage of King Yu's slight relaxation of power in his hands, observed secretly, and quietly began to cultivate his own power.

In addition to being careful to win over the unobtrusive staff under King Yu, she began to set her sights on the Imperial College and Dali Temple.

Changing from his previous style of hiding behind others, Gu Zizhan began to run out often, using his classmates and colleagues to wander among the children of the powerful and wealthy businessmen, and became close to the heirs and clans of the princes and clans in Beijing.With Bo Zhongtang, plus the rewards allocated by Emperor Tianshun and King Yu for her upcoming marriage, Gu Zizhan is not short of money, but she is not satisfied and starts to plan a new business.

By the time the court resumed operations on the sixteenth day of the first month, Gu Zizhan had sent Duan Yong to contact the caravan and go to the Western Regions to purchase jade and jewelry.

At the same time, a pawnshop named "Cornucopia" quietly opened in the capital.

**********

On the first day of the opening of the office, Fu You blocked Gu Zizhan in Dali Temple.

As soon as they met, Fu You was a little dissatisfied. He frowned and pulled Gu Zizhan aside, and asked her, "Brother Gu, what have you been up to these days? Why are you always missing?"

Gu Zizhan asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Didn't you and I meet the day before yesterday?"

Fu You snorted, obviously very dissatisfied, "You took a lot of money from Bozhongtang that day, and you clearly said that you would go back home early to rest, but why did you lie to me? If Jianwei hadn't told me about it, I would have I didn't know you would go to that pickle place!"

Gu Zizhan was startled.She left Bo Zhongtang that day, and took Duan Yong to Zhixiu Building, the largest brothel in the capital, and handed over the money to the steward of the caravan, but she never thought that she would be bumped into by Chu Lan?

Feeling at a loss for words, Gu Zizhan paused for a moment, and replied: "I, I went to Zhixiu Tower to meet a friend, it was just business, and I never did anything I shouldn't do." Then he asked carefully, "Did Ah Lan see me? "

Fu You snorted again, looked Gu Zizhan up and down, and said in a bad tone, "I never imagined that Gu Shizi is also a flirtatious person. It's not enough for you to have my little cousin, and you dare to attract bees and butterflies everywhere! Hmph! Going to the brothel can only Talking about business? Or Zhixiu Building? You think my Fu You is a three-year-old child, and I will believe your nonsense! Fortunately, my little cousin still trusts you and speaks good things for you here. It is really a flower inserted into you On the mud! I am also angry!"

What he said was blunt, Gu Zizhan knew he was wrong, so he couldn't say much, but kept explaining that she had never done anything to offend Chu Lan.Fu You gave her a hard look, and left angrily when he saw many people walking around in the distance.

Gu Zizhan was restless all day. She already knew that Chu Lan had a bleak life experience, and she didn't want her to have the slightest misunderstanding. She just wanted to hurry up and explain clearly to Chu Lan face to face.

This night, it was rare for Gu Zizhan not to go out to socialize, but stayed in Dali Temple until it was dark, and went to the Chu Mansion under the cover of night.

She remembered the location of Chu Lan's courtyard, so she used Qinggong to climb over the wall and enter Chu's mansion, and quietly touched the outside of Chu Lan's courtyard.

Fortunately, the black official uniform of the Dali Temple was still convenient for moving at night, when he saw a figure suddenly appearing beside him, and Gu Zizhan almost cried out in shock.

I saw Chu Lan standing in the cold moonlight, looking at herself coldly.

Seeing Gu Zizhan, Chu Lan could clearly see the earnest expression on her face—somewhat flattering and somewhat embarrassing, but in the end she couldn't be cruel.Sighing, he turned and left, but took him to his study.

Gu Zizhan's face was full of embarrassment, and he felt a little guilty, but his mind couldn't help thinking that the current scene actually had a hint of a tryst.

However, all kinds of feelings are nothing but what she thinks alone.

After entering the room, Chu Lan went straight to the wooden chair behind the table and sat down.Gu Zizhan hurriedly followed, and hastily explained: "Alan, Alan, you have to trust me, I never did those bad things behind your back."

Chu Lan didn't answer her.Gu Zizhan had no choice but to continue to explain, telling who he met, what he did when he went to Zhixiu Tower that day, and when he left, and he also brought out many witnesses.When she said that her mouth was dry, Chu Lan didn't show any expression.

I was worried about being misunderstood by her, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit wronged by not being trusted.Crouching in front of Chu Lan, Gu Zizhan looked up at her, feeling unbearably sore, and sighed softly, "Oh, Lan'er, I have absolutely no other thoughts, you have to believe me."

Chu Lan leaned down slightly, meeting her eyes.

The person in front of her, from the beginning of acquaintance, had been as cheerful as the sun and scorching as the warm sun, but now she was lonely all over, and her eyes no longer had the ostentatiousness of the past, which made her heart ache.

It's all because of her, it shouldn't be.

Slightly pursing her lips, Chu Lan let out a long sigh in her heart, and spoke slowly.

"I never disbelieved you. In fact, I have been waiting for you since you left the Chu Mansion that day. I know that you have been wronged by my father and have had some disputes. According to your past temperament, you will definitely You came to look for me. I just didn't expect that you never came."

"A few days ago, I saw you on the street, talking and laughing with others, and walked into the show building. I knew that you had something hidden in your heart. It's funny to say, at first, I was a little angry. As for I can't say what I'm angry about, but I'm probably angry that you didn't talk to me when you had something on your mind."

Hearing what Chu Lan said, Gu Zizhan's face turned red, "No, I—"

Chu Lan shook her head and laughed lightly, "I'm not angry anymore. In the end, I have no right to ask about these matters. You trust me and are willing to tell me, I listen to it, but you shouldn't Take the initiative to inquire about your secrets, even if you and I become husband and wife in the future, it is only an expedient measure, for each of us to hide in peace."

"So, you don't need to worry about it."

After Chu Lan finished speaking, her eyes were calm, and she smiled indifferently, and led Gu Zizhan to the side of the Arhat couch to sit down.

Gu Zizhan was in a daze, as if he had lost his mind.She even forgot to mention to Chu Lan what Daoist Yuan Xu said that day about her being destined.

Chu Lan's words had already clearly defined the relationship between the two of them.Yes, in Chu Lan's eyes, their marriage is nothing more than an "expedient measure" and "each of them is clean".The intimacy she was looking forward to was just wishful thinking.

Seeing Gu Zizhan trembling unknowingly, sweeping the blush at the end of her eyes, Chu Lan suddenly felt very stuffy in her heart, so congested that she couldn't breathe.

She didn't tell Gu Zizhan that she had been to Dali Temple twice, and even lingered in front of Prince Yu's Mansion for a long time.There may be some things that cannot be given, so it is better not to mention them in the first place.

After a long time, Gu Zizhan's throat trembled slightly, and he laughed wryly.

"Don't think that I will pick you out. I am very bad. When I meet a wicked person, I will definitely pull you over and hide behind you."

Chu Lan heard the pretentious tone, but it seemed that her tightly squeezed heart suddenly loosened, and a boundless soreness surged up, almost forcing her to cry.

Gu Zizhan lowered his head, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes secretly, and said with a forced smile, "You said you didn't care, but I just wanted to tell you. You are my military adviser. If you don't care about me, who cares about me?"

Chu Lan also laughed, "Okay, then as a military adviser, I will take care of you to the end."

Gu Zizhan's eyebrows finally arched.Immediately thinking of King Yu's thoughts, he couldn't help but feel disgusted and frowned.

In a hurry, Gu Zizhan told Chu Lan all about the plans of King Yu and Taoist Yuan Xu, as well as the little things that happened these days.

Whether it's her, or Gu Che back then, fate has never been in his own hands.The reason why King Yu is keeping her alive is that he is waiting for the time when the "greedy wolf devours the sun" recorded in the ancient book will come.On the other hand, King Yu and Daoist Yuanxu were afraid of Ziwei Xingsu after all, and wanted to use her destiny first.

When Chu Lan heard it for the first time, she was startled and angry at the same time. She slapped down a corner of the little girl on the couch.The expression on his face changed a few times, but when he spoke, his voice softened, and he asked with some concern: "Zizhan, why do you keep recovering your memory intermittently? Is there something uncomfortable about you?"

Gu Zizhan's heart warmed, and he replied: "I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. This is indeed a bit strange, and I can't figure it out." After thinking for a while, he said: "Maybe there may be something that Gu Che deliberately wanted. Forgotten, but when I was stimulated, I would recall these memories again."

Chu Lan nodded, but she still had doubts in her heart. She changed her mind and thought that she should give Gu Zizhan a good conditioning first, and then observe slowly.After a pause, Chu Lan pondered and said, "It's better to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Zizhan looked at her with a curious expression: "Why is it His Royal Highness? A Lan, you trust him better than His Majesty?"

Chu Lan panicked inexplicably, and for a moment didn't know how to speak.
