The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 101 The end of this chapter, the emperor inherits Tianhui

That night, after hearing the news that the crown prince was not well, Gu Zizhan didn't care about taking a break, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment. Before he calmed down, he quickly entered the palace accompanied by Chu Lan.

Seeing Lian Yong'an who was guarding outside the palace gate, Gu Zizhan suddenly became sober.Today, Lian Shizhi is still there, the Lian family has not collapsed, and Gu Quan's private soldiers have also lost most of them, so there is no way they will have the opportunity to enter the capital.As for those soldiers who followed Gu Che and wore the uniforms of the previous dynasty, she had never even heard of them.Fortunately, everything in front of her was different from that in the nightmare, so far, the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

When I came to the East Palace, I saw that Emperor Tianshun was there.Judging by the appearance of him and the prince, the father and son had obviously just finished a conversation.

When Emperor Tianshun saw Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan coming in, he treated Chu Lan well, but when he looked at Gu Zizhan, his eyes were much more complicated.There are considerations, dissatisfaction, and a touch of helplessness.But Gu Zizhan didn't care about Emperor Tianshun's thoughts, he just stepped forward quickly, saluted the two, and then walked to the prince's side.

Emperor Tianshun saw that her worried face did not seem to be fake, so he only hummed softly with an unpredictable expression, got up and walked out.Apart from the prince, Gu Zizhan, and Chu Lan, there was no one else in the hall.

Gu Zizhan looked at the prince, saw that his complexion was pale and reddish, but his eyes were rare and clear, his heart skipped a beat, and some bad premonition came to his mind.

Chu Lan stepped forward to feel the prince's pulse, and was also shocked. When she looked at Gu Zizhan, she shook her head slightly.Gu Zizhan felt a sudden pain in her heart, and she already understood what Chu Lan meant.Now the prince is really just returning to the light.

Seeing them like this, the prince shook his head and sighed softly: "I am afraid that it will be time to say goodbye to you."

Gu Zizhan's eyes turned red, he forced back his tears, and lowered his head slightly, "Brother, don't, don't scare me."

The prince smiled lightly, took Gu Zizhan's hand, and said, "Ache, brother, I have already agreed with my father, the world will depend on you in the future."

Gu Zizhan raised his head abruptly and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

The prince smiled again, and spoke with some ease, but what he said made Gu Zizhan's hair stand on end.

"A country cannot be without an heir. After I leave, you will be recorded in the name of the emperor in the name of the son of the clan and become the new owner of the East Palace."

Seeing that Gu Zizhan was in a state of confusion, he was about to speak, but the crown prince waved his hand to stop her, and continued: "The child in Su's womb is due to be born in less than two months. If it is a boy, it will naturally be rejected. Standing as a grandson, but if it is a daughter—" At this point, the prince smiled sadly, "I have never had a daughter in my life. If I have a daughter, I will definitely be the cutest child in the world. I can't see you either."

Wiping the corner of his eyes lightly, the prince said again: "If it's a daughter, I will discuss with the emperor, and I will raise it as a man first. When the world is stable in the future, you can choose a boy from the clan to inherit the throne. Just remember, Do not wrong the orphaned child."

Gu Zizhan couldn't bear it any longer, knelt down in front of the prince, choked up and cried, "Brother prince! No way, this is no way! You shouldn't drag another girl into this quagmire in this way!"

Facing the surprised gaze of the prince, Gu Zizhan said with difficulty: "Brother prince, I can't take this position!"

"Because I am also a woman!"

There was nothing to hide anymore, Gu Zizhan said it all in one go. "Why Lan'er and I can't have children is because I am not a man in the first place!"

"The so-called Emperor Ziwei's fate, my father knew it from the very beginning! It is also because of this that he raised me as a man since he was a child! I can't get rid of him, and I know that no matter what the two things are, If one thing is revealed, His Majesty will not keep me anymore, so at the beginning, I chose to stand behind you. Because I understand that only if you take that position, in the future, Lan'er and I will be able to stay together for a long time Stay safe and live safe."

"Later, you were willing to trust me and treat me with sincerity, and I never dared to live up to this trust and sincerity. After years of planning, most of the authority in my father's hands has been disintegrated by me now. Shaking the stability of the imperial power. But now, I never thought that you would abandon me!"

"But no matter what, Brother Prince, I can't sit in that position. I really can't do it."

Seeing Gu Zizhan knelt on the ground crying, Chu Lan also knelt down beside her. "Your Highness, please think again."

But the prince on the bed was shocked by the news at this time, and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, a chuckle suddenly came from the bed.

"So, the lonely Fifth Emperor really wants to rebel, right?"

Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan raised their heads, and saw that the prince was exhausted and fell back on the pillow.Afterwards, the prince waved his hand and sighed weakly: "Forget it, I believe what you said."

He laughed at himself and said, "In the past, I would have blamed you. I would have thought that even if you, Ah Che, stood up and exposed Uncle Wu Huang, I would still be able to protect you from my father. But now, after going through After so many, maybe your approach is the most correct."

"Even if you use me, I'm still willing to believe that I'm about to die. Until now, you still treat me sincerely."

Hearing his words, Gu Zizhan had already burst into tears. "Brother, I will never hurt you."

The prince smiled feebly, "I didn't know that the rumors about Mr. Ziwei Xing were actually true. I just thought that some villain in the court deliberately made a fuss about it, and later, in order to protect you from the emperor, It was only to make this matter worse on purpose. But now it seems that this is a good thing."

"Now I have female soldiers in Dazhao, and the number of female officers in the northern border has gradually increased. It's okay to have another female emperor with Ziwei's fate in the future."

Gu Zizhan raised his head abruptly, the Prince's smile returned to his face, he patted the bed, and said, "Don't kneel down, just sit up. Brother, everything has been taken care of now."

"I have made an agreement with my father that you have excellent character, talent and learning, and there are rumors that you are destined to be Ziwei's fate, so it is most appropriate for you to be the crown prince. It is just right that you can stop the rumors of the government and the public." , inherit my Gu family Zhengshuo, and rule the world. Also, I have also told him that you are suffering from a hidden disease and cannot have children. It is because of these things that he can agree."

He also warned: "But you have to understand that my father has been king for many years, and my thoughts are much deeper than you and me. You must not tell him about your status as a woman, otherwise, you will really be doomed."

"When I'm gone, no one will really be able to protect you anymore."

Gu Zizhan shook his head with difficulty, "I will protect the child, but I, I really can't do it."

The prince's gaze was very firm, "If Gu says you can do it, you must do it! This is Gu's last entrustment, Ah Che, don't let Brother Wei down!"

Afterwards, the prince closed his eyes suddenly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were a little loose. "Only if you take this position can you save my child!"

"This time, let my brother use you once."

After saying this sentence, the prince could no longer support himself, and fell back on the couch.His hands slowly dropped, and he firmly grasped the edge of the bed, his chest twitched, and it was difficult to gather his eyes.Gu Zizhan rushed out of the hall and shouted: "Prince doctor, send the doctor quickly!" Then he looked at Li Lianying in panic and shouted: "Go and invite your majesty and empress, go!"

He ran back to the hall in a hurry, and asked Chu Lan in panic, "Alan, Alan, what should I do!"

Chu Lan withdrew her hand, which was taking the prince's pulse, and looked at her with frowning: "Zizhan, don't be afraid."

"I'm here."

Yixu arrived first, and shortly thereafter, Emperor Tianshun and the Empress also arrived.

At this time, the prince had completely fallen into a coma.He twitched from time to time, and occasionally a low murmur came from his mouth: "Ayan, Yu'er!"

This is the name of the first concubine and the first grandson.

The queen couldn't bear it any longer, and hugged her emaciated son, weeping bitterly.

After the day passed, the prince did not survive the long night after all, and died suddenly before dawn.

In the palace, white banners were hung.

Soon after dawn, the news of the prince's death spread outside the palace.

**********

Gu Zizhan didn't know how he got out of the palace, and how he got back to Gu's residence.

This day and night seemed to have exhausted all her mental strength, and now she only felt exhausted and could no longer support herself.

The elder brother who had been protecting her all this time just left.The gentle gentleman all his life, even at the last moment of his life, forgave all her deception and use in the past.

Gu Zizhan only felt that the pain in his heart was about to explode.Compared with the prince, she is just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death!

But when he suddenly remembered the prince's last entrustment, Gu Zizhan couldn't help but feel confused again.She doesn't like power struggles, and hates the officialdom infected by power. Her life's wish is to retreat to the mountains and forests with Chu Lan after everything settles down.How could she, who had always had no ambitions, be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

It seemed that her fate had undergone an irreversible change following the death of the prince.Maybe the ease and stability will really not come.

She is so tired, really tired.

Gu Zizhan lay on the bed in a daze, supported by Chu Lan, and soon fell asleep.

Chu Lan looked at her sad eyebrows and eyes in her sleep, gently brushed away the wrinkles between her brows with her hand, and couldn't help sighing.She knew that Gu Zizhan hadn't rested since the nightmare that night, and had encountered such a series of great changes, and she was afraid that she had reached her limit.

Gently stroking Gu Zizhan's side face, Chu Lan sighed in her heart, hoping that her lover could find the last moment of peace in this sleep.In the years to come, there is really no turning back.

Gu Zizhan never dreamed of Gu Che again this time.It's just that in the peaceful silence, there seems to be a voice reminding her all the time:

"Find yourself, find that part of yourself that has been lost for a long time."

Suddenly, there seemed to be a curl of green smoke flowing out of the incense burner, and there was a face that could not be seen clearly in the light veil of the curtain.
