108 Chapter 3
It was not until evening that Chu Lan returned to the East Palace.
Now she and Gu Zizhan have officially moved into the East Palace.Concerned about the former prince, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan did not move into the main hall of the East Palace, but lived in a side courtyard with a nice view.All the objects in the main hall remained unchanged, and in the middle were enshrined the spirit tablets of the late prince, concubine, and grandson Gu Yu.
Chu Lan didn't find Gu Zizhan in the side courtyard, so she guessed that she should still be in the main hall now.
When I came to the former prince's bedroom, sure enough, I saw Gu Zizhan sitting on the cushion, talking to himself to the former prince's spirit seat.
Gu Zizhan was dressed in the court clothes of the prince, and he sat obliquely on the ground, his back was drawn a little lonely by the setting sun reflected from the opened palace door.
Chu Lan felt a sore heart, stepped forward quickly, and embraced her from behind.
Gu Zizhan's body froze, and after feeling the familiar breath, he relaxed and leaned towards the person behind him with peace of mind.
Turning his head and looking at Chu Lan, Gu Zizhan's smile still had some mistyness that hadn't recovered from his contemplation, "You're back."
Chu Lan nodded, hugged Gu Zizhan, and said, "I'm looking for you, it's time for dinner."
Gu Zizhan tilted his head and whispered in Chu Lan's ear: "Thanks for your hard work, Alan." He looked at the spiritual seat of the former prince and said, "In half a month or so, the Su family's child will be born. At this juncture, You have to work harder."
Hearing Gu Zizhan's words, Chu Lan's heart sank.Yes, Su's is about to give birth.Everyone is waiting for the birth of this child, but likewise, there are many people who are looking forward to his stillbirth.Because of this, the entire Hekun Palace became more and more heavily guarded, and even the entire palace was prepared as if it were facing an enemy.
Chu Lan comforted her softly, "Don't worry, with me here, their mother and child will be fine."
Gu Zizhan responded silently.After cuddling with Chu Lan for a while, he stood up slowly, stretched out his hand again, and pulled Chu Lan up.The two smiled at each other, this kind of tacit understanding that was deep in the heart without words, was beautiful and intoxicating.
After dinner, the two returned to the study, and Chu Lan told Gu Zizhan about the conversation she had with Daoist Yuan Hui today.
Regarding the fact that Daoist Yuan Hui could guess that she was another primordial spirit, after Gu Zizhan heard about it, only a trace of strangeness flashed in his heart, but he was not too surprised.Maybe it's because her current behavior is very different from the original Gu Che's, and it's easier for the brothers and sisters of Daoist Yuanxu who are familiar with Gu Che's past to see the clues.It's just that for some reason, after she and Chu Lan sat down face to face, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and her mind was a little dizzy.
However, the words that Chu Lan mentioned afterwards made Gu Zizhan feel even more fear while being shocked.
According to Daoist Yuan Hui, the reason why she had those nightmares was because when she occupied Gu Che's body, her soul was missing a piece, so she couldn't fully integrate with this body.And the primordial spirit she was missing had already been occupied by Gu Che.Gu Che's primordial spirit remained in his body, pulling and wrestling with her all the time.When her body was weak or her mind was unstable, Gu Che would take the opportunity to appear and regain control of this body.Ziwei's fate, which was originally attached to the power of her primordial spirit, has been fused with this body, so once the body is completely controlled by Gu Che, Ziwei's fate will also change accordingly, and it will be compatible with Gu Che's primordial spirit instead. Rong, became her help in the fight against Gu Zizhan.
It is also because of this that there is that lingering black air in the celestial phenomena of Ziwei Xingxiu!
Suddenly, Gu Zizhan thought of the dream she had before.In the dream, Gu Che followed Gu Quan and led his troops into the palace. In the end, he killed Gu Quan and Emperor Tianshun with his own hands!Could it be that this was an early warning from the heavens?Or, this scene is the ultimate goal of Gu Che who is hiding somewhere!
If it is said that when Gu Zizhan first transmigrated, he still felt a little guilty for occupying Gu Che's body.But with the awakening of the memories belonging to Gu Che in her body, she no longer has any sympathy for Gu Che, the person who has done many evil things.Most importantly, in this world, she has Chu Lan.Even for Chu Lan, she would never allow that one day, all the beauty and luck would be taken away by Gu Che!
Thinking of this, Gu Zizhan couldn't help but ask Chu Lan: "Alan, in the end, Daoist Yuan Hui, can you explain how to solve it?"
There was a trace of hesitation on Chu Lan's face, she only felt that the blood jade in her bosom suddenly felt a little hot at this moment.This sudden strange feeling made Chu Lan feel hesitant and uneasy.
After hesitating for a long time, Chu Lan finally spoke and replied softly, "No."
The suspicion of Daoist Yuan Hui in her heart has not dissipated, and she is not sure whether the blood jade in her arms is good or bad. Under such circumstances, she dare not rashly put Gu Zizhan in danger.Chu Lan made up her mind to find the "crazy Taoist" first, and after confirming that the blood jade is the same, it would be better to give it to Gu Zizhan.Not wanting to distract her, Chu Lan simply didn't tell her.
Gu Zizhan looked at her, raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and said lightly, "Okay." But a bit of bitterness arose in his heart.
How could she not see that her Ah Lan was hiding something from her now.But since she didn't want to talk, then she would never ask too much.
That night, as usual, Chu Lan watched Gu Zizhan fall into a deep sleep, and then looked at her again, falling into a nightmare again.
Looking back, she couldn't understand many words in Zizhan's mouth, and she murmured intermittently, with tears slowly seeping from the corners of her eyes.
Chu Lan embraced her again, letting her slowly calm down in his arms.
The next day, when Gu Zizhan woke up, he saw Chu Lan looking haggard.
"Did you sleep well?" Chu Lan asked her gently as usual.
Gu Zizhan smiled slightly, "It's good, I don't have any more dreams."
Chu Lan rubbed the top of her hair and smiled slightly: "Get up."
Gu Zizhan put on his middle coat and Chujun court clothes, turned his back and fastened the jade belt around his waist.At this time, the smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by solemnity.
She didn't have no dreams last night, on the contrary, she dreamed a lot, or she remembered a lot.
Gu Zizhan finally confirmed that she would often have a dream in modern times.In the smoky illusion, the pavilions are just like today's scene.And the woman in it, the woman whose eyebrows and eyes she couldn't see clearly, was Chu Lan.
But in the end, it was also Chu Lan in the dream, who ignored her begging and left her behind!
Why did all of this happen, and what did it signify?
When he turned around again, Gu Zizhan had already collected his mood and hid his thoughts well.After having a simple breakfast with Chu Lan, he sent Chu Lan to Hekun Palace, and Gu Zizhan went to court.
Now the matter of paying tribute to the Rong people has not been properly handled in the court, and her next plans will continue to be implemented. In addition, there is also the hidden danger of Gu Quan, which has not been completely resolved.All the government affairs one after another made her a little breathless, and now she can only cheer up and deal with these important matters as soon as possible.
As for those who can't figure it out, she has no time to take care of it now.But no matter what, she still believed in Alan and would never harm her.
Today, she must also have such a belief, so as not to be crushed!
**********
Liu Mulan was the leader of the army escorting the eldest prince of the Rong tribe, Hu Yanshuo.As soon as this ferocious female general appeared, she attracted the attention of many people.
After learning that it was she who had seriously injured Qiduo in the northern border, the people and courtiers made different voices.These were originally expected by Gu Zizhan, and because of this, in order to prevent Liu Mulan from attracting too much attention and suffering from the hidden danger of Muxiu Yulin for no reason, Gu Zizhan asked the queen to come forward and welcome Liu Mulan into the palace. Responsible for guarding Hekun Palace.Taking advantage of the trend, Liu Mulan and this group of female soldiers from the Phoenix Nirvana Army were once again included in the dragoon guards guarding the palace.
This matter can be regarded as a court affair, but Gu Zizhan can also insist that it is a harem family matter handled according to the Queen's order.
The courtiers had quarreled several times, but every time they talked about the point of anger, Gu Zizhan would throw out a few things related to the evaluation to distract his attention, and by the way, he would throw out a few people with dirty buttocks and the tallest jumps to make an example to others.As time passed, he had no choice but to be fooled by the new prince again.
Now, they can see that the aged Majesty has gradually lost interest in the government, and is focused on waiting for the birth of the little grandson.The new prince is young and vigorous, and he has plenty of energy to accompany them.It seems that the sky of Jokha has really changed.
But there are also many people who secretly speculate in their hearts.When the emperor's grandson is born, whether it's a boy or a girl, I'm afraid there will be some troubles after a long time.After all, the current emperor, Chao Gang, has been arbitrarily determined all his life.A person who would interfere even with his own son, how could he really let go of his grandchildren who had waited so hard for him.At that time, I am afraid that the emperor's accommodating and tolerance towards the new crown prince will come to an end.So, slowly, the courtiers also began to play Tai Chi with Gu Zizhan's family.All the trivial matters have not yet settled down.They are not in a hurry.
More than ten days later, Hu Yanshuo completed his errand to pay tribute to Dazhao, and prepared to leave the capital with the imperial edict issued by Emperor Tianshun and numerous rewards.At the same time, there was also an imperial edict officially appointing Duan Yong as the governor of the northern border.
Emperor Tianshun sent Gu Zizhan to see him off.
Hu Yanshuo is the eldest son of Hu Ridu. He has been with his father since he was a child, and he has suffered hardships.Now Hu Ridu brought him back to the Rong clan. Although he has become a prominent member of the Rong clan, the tenacity and tenacity he developed at a young age is still there.For Gu Zizhan, Hu Yanshuo admired him very much from the bottom of his heart, and the two of them interacted several times, and they also developed some congeniality among young people.
This time we leave, we don't know when we will meet next time.Hu Yanshuo was a little bit reluctant, so he kept Gu Zizhan and talked more at Suzaku Gate.
After that, he waved his hand away.The friendship between gentlemen, even if they are separated by thousands of miles, should be cherished by each other, and saved for the next reunion.
Gu Zizhan was very pleased to have such a friend.
Gu Zizhan returned to the palace with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.After returning to Emperor Xiang Tianshun, she changed her clothes again and pretended to leave the palace.
A visitor came through the back door, and he saw Luan Nan who had been waiting for a long time and quietly returned to the capital.
Luan Nan has taken over Huamanlou's power in the capital again, and has cooperated tacitly with Liu Zan who is in the palace, becoming Gu Zizhan's most important eyes and ears to the outside world.But from a selfish point of view, he is still a little jealous of Liu Zan.After all, now that Liu Mulan was left in the palace, if he and Liu Zan exchanged, it would be considered a near-water advantage.
Seeing his awkward appearance, Gu Zizhan felt amused in his heart, tapped Luan Nan's head lightly with a folding fan, and scolded with a smile: "If you keep your head down like this, be careful, I'll let you go back to the north again!"
Luan Nan immediately hugged her head and begged for mercy, and laughed and said a few words before being interrupted by Gu Zizhan, who couldn't stand it anymore.Zheng Se asked him: "Recently, in the capital, what unusual things have you found out?"
Luan Nan immediately became serious, nodded, and said, "There is indeed one, and it is related to Ningling County King."
Gu Zizhan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"
Luan Nan replied: "My subordinates found out that Daoist Yuan Hui actually lives in the Prince's Mansion of Ningling County!"
Laughing again, Luan Nan seemed to feel a little startled, scratched his head and said: "But speaking of this, the Lord should already know about it. After Madam and Daoist Yuan Hui met last time, she personally handed over the sent back to Ningling County Prince's Mansion."
