The old east wind comes to dream

That's right, according to Taoist Yuan Hui's deduction, the root cause of all the troubles in the Eastern Palace lies with Gu Zizhan.To be precise, it lies in the so-called Ziwei's fate that she bears.

Daoist Yuan Hui also told her that all of this is a predestined fate and cannot be changed.Every day of her existence is a process of gradually crushing the too-wei fate of the Eastern Palace until it is extinguished.After all, the double yang day has appeared this year, which also shows that there are no two masters in the sky, and it is also an early warning from heaven.All of this will be changed without manpower.

After saying this, Daoist Yuan Hui left beforehand, leaving behind Gu Zizhan who was already confused and Chu Lan who was full of worries.Daoist Yuan Hui was over forty years old, but his body was out of this world. As he walked, a deep red jade pendant on his waist collided with a crisp sound.

Daoist Yuan Hui was born out of the world, but what she brought has plunged Gu Zizhan into endless darkness again.

Back at Prince Yu's Mansion, Gu Zizhan couldn't recover for a long time.

She and Chu Lan worked so hard to keep the prince, and then under the protection of the benevolent prince, she could live a stable life.But now, the biggest obstacle among them was herself.How embarrassing!

Seeing her like this, Chu Lan felt really distressed.Compared to Gu Zizhan, she believed in the theory of fate more.Therefore, such a thing hit her even harder, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a bolt from the blue.But she also knew better that Gu Zizhan needed comfort more than she did.

So, Chu Lan resisted the tumbling thoughts, took care of Gu Zizhan to change her clothes, and led her to the bed to rest.

Gu Zizhan was like a puppet, letting Chu Lan pull her.On the bed, even though all kinds of thoughts in her mind were pulled and felt guilty, she still fell asleep quickly.The tense string in her mind has been pulled to an unbearable point.

In his sleep, after a long time, Gu Zizhan saw Gu Che again.

At this time, Gu Che had become a separate figure, facing Gu Zizhan head-on.

She was full of sarcasm, gnashing her teeth and cursing viciously at Gu Zizhan.The mole at the end of her eyebrow was so bright red that it was about to bleed.

Gu Zizhan let her scold without saying a word.Suddenly, she felt that what Gu Che said was right, she was the source of all these crimes.But vaguely, there was another thought in her heart, telling her that all of this had nothing to do with her.

Until Gu Che pulled out a sword from his bosom and ran towards her yelling, "You monster, I'm going to kill you today! Give me back my life!" Next, I saw a white light flashing on my right hand, and I was holding a long sword.Instinctively, Gu Zizhan waved his arm, and with a "bang", he blocked Gu Che's sword a little.

But she was already distracted, so how could she be Gu Che's opponent.Soon, Gu Che's sword stabbed at her again.

After going back and forth like this, Gu Zizhan was cornered.

She fell to the ground in embarrassment, seeing that Gu Che's sword had already reached her chest, and if she moved an inch further, it would stab her in the heart!But at this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Gu Zizhan's chest.

A voice came from nothing like thunder, "Gu Che! You came from a wrong path, but now you have murderous intentions again, be careful!" This was clearly Gu Zizhan's original voice!

After traveling for a long time, Gu Zizhan almost forgot his original voice.When I first heard it, I felt like a tsunami landslide, and a clear force suddenly lifted her up from the chaos!

In a split second, she jumped up, and in the middle of the gap, she pierced Gu Che's eyebrows with a sword!

Suddenly, Gu Che's shrill cry sounded. After a long time, until Gu Zizhan's eardrums were numb, the voice finally faded away.

But Gu Zizhan still had doubts in her heart, and she yelled loudly into the void: "Who are you!"

No one answered for a long time, and she could only hear her own echo, stirring back and forth in this nothingness.

After an unknown amount of time, the voice sounded slowly, sighing softly, "Gu Zizhan, I am you."

"It's a pity that you have forgotten who you are."

Gu Zizhan struggled all the time in his sleep. Seeing her suffering, Chu Lan could only call her name one after another. It was not until a long time later that Gu Zizhan suddenly woke up from his dream, panting heavily.

She was drenched in sweat, her long hair stuck to her forehead, and her eyes were full of panic.

Chu Lan quickly helped her up, let her lean on him, patted her back lightly, and comforted her softly: "Cheng'er, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here!" worry.

Gu Zizhan only felt endless sadness welling up in his heart, and when he looked at Chu Lan, he felt a lot of surviving lives, and even a little sigh of reunion after a long absence.

She hugged Chu Lan tightly on her side, buried her face in her chest, and burst into tears uncontrollably.It took a long time to regain peace in Chu Lan's arms.

Looking up at Chu Lan, Gu Zizhan said shyly, "Lan'er, Gu Che, she appeared again."

Suddenly, Chu Lan's expression changed drastically.When their eyes met, Chu Lan suddenly discovered that the mole on the end of Gu Zizhan's eyebrows had started to turn red again!

**********

On the second day, Chu Lan took leave of absence for Gu Zizhan, and went into the palace alone to find the prince.

For the first time, Chu Lan aroused the anger of wanting to contend with the theory of fate that she had firmly believed in.If the heavens really have spirits, why should these innocent people be treated as playthings for nothing!

It turned out that Gu Zizhan had been standing in front of her all along.Thinking back to those three years in the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Zizhan spent every step of his life dealing with all kinds of people. The originally noble and dazzling Nuan Yang learned how to manipulate power and ponder people's hearts in the world.From being ignorant and innocent at the beginning, she gradually became tainted with sophistication, ruthlessness, and even blood!Gu Zizhan walked so fast that she forgot that it was because of him that this unparalleled precious jade was covered in dust.

Now, it's time for me to stand in front of her.

Before meeting with Daoist Yuan Hui, Gu Zizhan had talked to Chu Lan about the point he thought of.

Now, Gu Zizhan has some influence in the Jiangnan officialdom, and at the same time, she has never stopped communicating with the clans. Linjiang County King Gu Tao has completely fallen for her, and has become a bridge between Gu Zizhan and the younger generation of the clan.

But these forces are far from enough for Donggong.The most important point is that the East Palace now has no military power.

Chu Lan also thought of this.Following this line of thought, they simultaneously thought of one person—Lian Shizhi, the General of Dragon Knights.The Lian family has been in the army for generations, and the next generation has the merits of being a dragon like the Taizu.If it is said that Chu Taifu has the most disciples among civil officials, then among military generals, Lian Shizhi is the patriarch who does his part.

And Lian Shizhi's little granddaughter is just sixteen this year.

Ordinary people are selfish, and it is the most difficult to save others by themselves. In this regard, Chu Lan is also the same.

However, when he saw the prince who was weak and leaning on the soft couch, with warm eyebrows and eyes, Chu Lan still couldn't bear it.It's just that compared with the current situation, these intolerances are still too thin.

The room was very hot from the fire, but the prince was still wearing a big cloak, his face was flushed, and he was coughing non-stop.

After checking the prince's pulse first, Chu Lan frowned and couldn't help complaining, "Your Highness's body, you should be careful."

The prince smiled gently, "It's not a problem. I was careless when I went out to enjoy the snow yesterday. I accidentally caught some wind and cold. You don't have to worry. Right now, I can still hold on." He smiled and said, "Your personally If you come to find me, you must have something to say. You don’t need to worry about it, but it’s okay to say it.”

Chu Lan put away the pulse pillow, thought over and over again in her heart, and finally said a little shyly: "Your Highness, I came here today to be a villain."

Glancing at the prince's expression, Chu Lan said again: "If the East Palace is to get out of the predicament, military power is indispensable. Right now, there is a good opportunity."

"Old General Lian's granddaughter is sixteen years old. I think she can be brought into the East Palace and made a princess."

After a long silence, the prince coughed violently.

With guilt in her eyes, Chu Lan stepped forward to pat him on the back.But it was gently blocked by the prince's thin arm.

Looking up again, the prince's eyes are full of despair.After a long time, the cough subsided, and the prince fixedly looked at her. "You'er, except when you were young, you have always called me Your Highness, so I know that in your heart, the status of elder brother will always come after state affairs."

With a wry smile, the prince continued: "But, You'er, I regard you as my own sister! You clearly know the pain in my heart, so how can you, how can you persecute me and your brother like this! "After that, he coughed again and again.

The prince's eyes were red, and he said intermittently: "Why, why do you want to force me!"

Seeing that the prince's eyes were red, Chu Lan's heart was sour.But now, Gu Zizhan is exhausted, but his mind is confused by those words of destiny. If the East Palace does not become stronger now, she is really afraid that Gu Zizhan will be forced to collapse one day!

Holding back her sobs, Chu Lan called out, "Brother!"

She sighed quietly: "Brother, the situation is stronger than others. We have no military power now. Besides, if the position of the crown princess is vacant for a day, His Majesty will not rest assured of you, and King Yu will not worry about it for a day." I will give up. Rather than waiting until I am persecuted, it is better to make a plan early. If that happens, Zizhan and I are afraid that we will not be able to protect you." At the end of the sentence, Chu Lan also choked up.

The prince's face flushed abnormally, he couldn't help covering his face with his hands, and said in a mournful voice, "Your sister-in-law has only been gone for six months, and during these six months, I have been thinking about her all the time! I have betrayed her, and, How can someone else take her place again!"

Struggling to get up, the crown prince had blue veins on his forehead, "No way! This is the bottom line of solitary! Donggong, there will never be a new mistress! Whoever forces me, I won't do it!"

The prince was as if he had been touched by pain, and his face was distorted by anger.

Chu Lan knew that she couldn't say anything more, so she sat beside him and patted his back to comfort him.

After a long time, the prince suddenly said, his voice was a little cold, "What's the use of having military power! Even if the father is disappointed with Gu, he will never harm him! If you are worried that there will be chaos one day, there will be thieves who will kill the emperor first." ! When that day really comes, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest! Instead of thinking about leaving a way out here, you might as well tell Gu Che to get rid of her rogue father and king first!"

"Why can't I protect me? You have to know that I have been protecting you all alone!"

Surprised, Chu Lan looked at the prince. The person in front of her seemed to have become a stranger!

There was a moment of silence in the hall.
