The old east wind comes to dream

After walking for more than ten days, Gu Zizhan and his party finally returned to the capital.

Along the way, she and Chu Lan were also guessing why Xing Kang took refuge in Emperor Tianshun at this time.How could he be satisfied with just the position of the crown prince's side concubine, not even the title of the crown prince's father-in-law.

But Xing Kang, Gu Zizhan has seen a lot more clearly after several years of experience.In fact, from the very beginning, Xing Kang was a speculator.From his initial evaluation of Fifth Ming, it can be seen that in Xing Kang's heart, he attaches great importance to the favor of the superior.Then, if he finds that King Yu can't satisfy his desire to climb up, and falls to the more powerful side, it seems to make sense.

I just don't know what kind of promise Emperor Tianshun gave him.

As soon as they returned to the capital, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan heard about another thing.

This incident surprised both of them.

The grandson actually fell into the water in the palace, and his high fever persisted.This matter is not easy!

This matter was suppressed by Emperor Tianshun himself.

The concubine of the crown prince was already in a depressed mood because of the fact that the prince accepted the side concubine, but when the grandson had an accident, she was so anxious that she couldn't get out of bed.

Seeing this, the crown prince disregarded the will of Emperor Tianshun and forcibly dismissed the draftees, and even wanted to divorce Xinna's side concubine.Tianshun Emperor Longyan was furious, and he denounced the Crown Princess as unvirtuous, and even threatened to abolish the Crown Princess.

The prince had no choice but to consummate the marriage with Na Xinna's side concubine Xing Shi under the threat of Emperor Tianshun.

After knowing this, Gu Zizhan felt mixed feelings.

It turns out that it is so difficult to judge others by oneself in this world!

In Prince Yu's mansion, King Yu hosted a reception banquet for Gu Zizhan and the others.

There were not many people, only Gu Zizhan, Chu Lan, and the two brothers Gu Qing and Gu Hong.When King Yu arrived, he was accompanied by a young woman.Gu Zizhan had previously received news that the King of Yu had adopted a new side concubine, Qu Shi, but he did not expect that the King of Yu would bring her to the family banquet, which shows how much he valued her.I also don't know what the origin of this woman named Qu Yan is.

Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan looked at each other quietly.After that, Gu Zizhan looked at Gu Hong.

I haven't seen him in three years, and Gu Hong has also grown a lot taller, but his brows and eyes have lost a lot of agility. When he looked at Gu Zizhan, his eyes were a little wary.

Concubine Qu Fang is a good talker, and after a few pleasantries, she not only said a lot of good things about Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan, but also flattered King Yu, which made the usually gloomy King Yu laugh many times.

After the meal, King Yu left Gu Zizhan behind to talk with her in the study.

First of all, he praised Gu Zizhan for his good development in Jiangnan in the past three years. He not only consolidated his original power, but also won the support of many officials.The most important thing is to make the theory of Ziwei Emperor's Star spread silently among the people, without leaving any suspicious clues, and it will become more and more intense like a spark starting a prairie fire.

Gu Zizhan smiled modestly.

All these things were done on purpose by her.But King Yu didn't know that these were just the beginning of Gu Zizhan's coming forward.The newly recruited officials are naturally only loyal to Gu Zizhan, and most of the original Yuwang's staff are controlled by Gu Zizhan.Even the governor of Fengdu, who was originally sent by King Yu to monitor Gu Zizhan, now stands behind her.So the news that King Yu received was all good news of peace in the world.

Afterwards, King Yu changed the subject and said, "Now that the crown prince and His Majesty are getting divorced, and Gu Yuan's reputation is not very good, it just happens to be our opportunity." With a smile, King Yu continued: "There is one more good thing. , the little grandson fell into the water, and the high fever will not go away, and it is estimated that it will be within a few days."

Gu Zizhan was a little surprised, and she did not expect that the grandson's condition would develop like this when Youyi Xu was in charge.Let's listen to King Yu's wishes, the grandson may be dying!

King Yu had been observing her expression, and when he saw Gu Zizhan's suspicious expression, he laughed again, "This child is blessed, and God helped me! Once he dies, the crown prince will have no heirs, and it is a taboo for the country to have no offspring. Coupled with the fact that the crown prince has lost his virtue, he will no longer be able to keep his position as the crown prince."

Gu Zizhan nodded, and asked again: "But Your Majesty only has the crown prince, even if the crown prince is unworthy, I'm afraid he won't abolish the crown prince, right?" Suddenly seeing King Yu's complacent look, a thought flashed through Gu Zizhan's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder , tentatively asked: "Could it be that the father wants to learn from Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty?"

King Yu stroked his beard lightly, and only smiled at her with a deep smile on his face, but did not answer.

But Gu Zizhan knew it in his heart.

Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty had no children, so he chose his younger brother as the emperor's younger brother, who became Emperor Jing later.It seems that King Yu is planning such an idea!

As a result, Donggong's life is in danger!

After Gu Zizhan went back, he hurriedly told Chu Lan about it.

Chu Lan frowned, and after a long time, she looked at Gu Zizhan and said, "I want to go to the palace."

Gu Zizhan naturally understood her.The grandson is a good boy, and he is very important to the current situation of the East Palace, and as a doctor, Chu Lan will never be indifferent.Besides, she also really likes the grandson, he is very similar to the prince, he is a kind, intelligent and clever boy.

After thinking about it, Gu Zizhan stood up and fetched the cloak for her. "The child is innocent. You can do whatever you want, Alan. I fully support it. I will let Duan Yong escort you into the palace."

Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Zizhan took off a waist badge from his waist, and his eyes stayed on the three words "Order of the East Palace".After a short pause, he handed it to Chu Lan.

"You take this with you."

Chu Lan was also taken aback for a moment, then immediately took the badge and turned to leave.

Gu Zizhan watched her back and stood still for a long time.

That day in the palace, the crown prince left them a way out, a way of life amidst all difficulties and dangers.They were useless at that time, but now because of the grandson's return to the original owner, there is a hint of doom.

**********

When Chu Lan returned, the sky had turned pale.

Seeing her red eyes, Gu Zizhan didn't ask any more questions, he just stepped forward to pull Chu Lan up, and hugged her into his arms.

"Lan'er, you did your best."

Chu Lan bit her lower lip tightly in Gu Zizhan's arms. After a long time, she let out a breath slowly, and said softly, "Yixu is not a quack doctor. This time, it's true, and he can't be saved."

After dawn, news came out from the palace that the grandson died.

**********

As the clan, Gu Zizhan, although his uncle doesn't need to mourn for his nephew, but after all, he is a formal grandson with a high status.Gu Zizhan still wore a white cloth around his waist, instead of King Yu, he entered the palace with Chu Lan to express his condolences.

After three years, Gu Zizhan stepped into the palace again.

Seeing the prince again, he was a different person three years ago.

The former gentle gentleman is now stubbled and dejected.

Seeing Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan, Prince Gu Yuanqiang pulled a smiley face, "Ah Che has a heart. You are a real gentleman, and you are ashamed to be alone."

Gu Zizhan knew that he was talking about Chu Lan entering the palace to treat the grandson, shook his head, and sighed softly: "Your Highness treats me like a younger brother, so why bother talking now. Yu'er, alas, what a pity. Your Highness, Brother, take care of yourself."

Hearing this, the prince's eyes turned red. "It's me who is useless as a father and can't protect him."

Seeing that there were many people around, Chu Lan could only interrupt, "Your Highness, where is the Crown Princess? I'll go and see her."

The prince suppressed his tears and nodded, "She is in the apse. She is not in good health, and I will be taken care of by Princess Lao."

Chu Lan nodded in response, and then went to the apse.

As soon as he entered the back hall, Chu Lan could smell the strong smell of medicine in the hall.

The princess' face was sallow, and the pain of losing her son had completely crushed her.His eyes were blank, and when he saw Chu Lan, he just stared blankly at her.Chu Lan took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, knowing that the princess was depressed and suffering from a cold, the medicine was very suitable and should come from Yi Xu's hand, so she felt relieved.Give it to the maids, and watch them help the princess up and let her drink the medicine.

The princess was fed the medicine by the maid, her expression was dull, as if her mind and mind had been taken away.

When the palace maid retreated, Chu Lan stretched out two fingers and gently felt the princess's pulse.

The hall was silent.After a long time, the concubine seemed to have regained her composure, and said softly to Chu Lan, "There is no need for this. I know my own body. Yu'er is gone, and I won't live long."

Chu Lan had always been cold in front of everyone except Gu Zizhan, but now she replied calmly, "Your Highness is a little weak, but with more care, you can recover."

The princess withdrew her hand abruptly, and said sadly, "My Yu'er is gone, what good is my health!" As if suddenly touched, the princess covered her face and wept, "He is already eight years old, I am Yu'er! He was pestering me the day before, calling mother, mother, my son wanted to eat glutinous rice balls, but I wouldn't let him. One day, he fell into the water, he couldn't wake up, he just had a fever, just in my arms, talking in his sleep, calling mother, mother, the baby hurts, hurts, hurts all over..."

"I can't save him, I wish I could replace him with my own body! My child, I was pregnant in October, and I raised him from such a young age to a sensible young man, but, but I can't love him for him, what am I Nothing can be done for him!"

Unable to bear the grief, the Crown Princess burst into tears, "I wish I could die for him!"

Seeing the princess like this, Chu Lan suddenly thought of her mother.She has not remembered her mother's appearance for a long time, but she has never forgotten that when her mother held her hand that day, when the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry, she still smiled and said to her: "That's great, my Youer is fine, That's fine."

Closing her eyes, Chu Lan forced back the sudden burst of tears, and said hoarsely to the princess: "Your Highness, you should know that Yu'er will be the same as you are in your heart."

The princess's face was full of tears, and she looked up at Chu Lan blankly, "What you said is true?"

Chu Lan looked solemn, and said heavily, "Yes."

Seeing her being so solemn, the princess looked at her for a long time before she wept and replied: "That's good." She couldn't help crying again, "But now, what's the point of these things?"

Chu Lan helped her up, and said seriously: "It is now at a critical juncture, if Your Highness does not cheer up, I am afraid that Yu'er will be under the nine springs, and it will be difficult for her to feel at ease."

The Crown Princess looked at her in a daze, "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Lan looked directly at her, "If the East Palace has no heirs, the East Palace will be in danger!"

When Chu Lan came out from the back hall, she saw the person waiting outside the hall.

Gu Zizhan pulled Chu Lan over and walked out of the palace with her.

On the way, Gu Zizhan asked softly, "Have you told her?"

Chu Lan nodded, then shook her head again. "I've said everything that needs to be said, but the pain of losing her son is unbearable at this time, so I don't know what she will do."

Gu Zizhan nodded and sighed, "I also told the prince. The East Palace must have no heirs, otherwise, I'm afraid he will really get what he wants."

The two of them knew who this "he" was, so they didn't say any more.

I just hope Emperor Tianshun can understand people's hearts, don't insist on pushing, and give these poor parents some time.

However, even if Emperor Tianshun wanted to give time, King Yu couldn't wait any longer.

Because the prince is still alive, the funeral period for the grandson is only one month.One month later, the king of Yu sent people to attack the crown prince at the court meeting.

It was Qin Tianjian again. Less than three years after the previous supervisor, Hu Weidao, was killed by Qiu Houwen, the new supervisor, Shi Daojie, once again said in front of the court that the Taiwei star had perished and the East Palace lost its virtue.He even publicly reprimanded the prince as a deceitful star, and killed the grandson, the real Taiwei star king.

These words were too harsh, the prince was furious on the spot, fainted and fell to the ground.Emperor Tianshun was furious, and once again sentenced Qintian Supervisor Zhengqiu to be executed.

But this time, the reaction of the officials was more intense than last time.

As if desperate, one speech official died on the spot, and more than a dozen civil officials saw that the emperor was determined to go his own way, unable to make admonitions, so they threw their crowns and left in the hall.Even the imperial students of the Imperial College, many people surrounded the gate of the palace, threatening that the emperor was unfair and wanted to depose the prince.

In one day, the Dragon Knights dispatched several times and took away nearly a hundred officials and scholars.The dark prison of the Dragon Knights was overcrowded.

The people in the capital were discussing things loudly, and many people gathered around the gate of the dark prison, almost causing riots.

In the end, Emperor Tianshun was unable to suppress public opinion, so he had to depose Shi Daojie from his official position and commuted his sentence to exile.

The prince issued an edict of guilt and was punished to go to the Taimiao to think about his mistakes.

On the third day after the prince left, the princess threw herself into a well and died.

Emperor Tianshun was furious, denounced the concubine's mother's family, and sent her family members into the army.

When the prince learned about this in Taimiao, he vomited blood and fainted.

Gu Zizhan couldn't bear it any longer. That night, he secretly went to the Taimiao and met the prince.

No one knew what the two of them had said that night.

One month later, the prince returned after thinking about his mistakes, his usual gentle face was stained with sternness.

The first thing he did when he came back was to ask Emperor Tianshun for orders to recruit girls from all over the world.Regardless of status, just want to be innocent.

Whether you become a Buddha or a demon, your ambition is inalienable.
