Chapter 11 Surprised by the root of love, empty pockets
Chapter 11 Surprised by the root of love, empty pockets
Hearing Gu Zizhan's words, he hesitated to speak when he saw Wei Wei.
Chu Lan frowned slightly, and said to her, "Jian Wei, you go down first."
Seeing nothing, he had no choice but to retreat.
Chu Lan looked at Gu Zizhan and said lightly, "What do these old things have to do with you? I can deal with it myself. You don't have to take it to heart."
When outsiders heard this, they might think that Chu Lan was too cruel.However, Gu Zizhan knew that this was Chu Lan's comfort to her, so he didn't care about it. Instead, he looked at Chu Lan, thought for a while, and asked, "A Lan, do you have someone in mind?"
Chu Lan didn't expect that she would ask this question suddenly, she was slightly startled, and shook her head slightly.
Gu Zizhan laughed lightly, his eyes were like burning peach blossoms, his eyes were clear and sincere, and he said word by word: "That's just right, why don't you marry me."
Chu Lan never expected that these words would come from Gu Zizhan's mouth at this time.My heart tightened, and I sank again.There was a trace of inquiry hidden in his eyes, and there was also an imperceptible guess - could it be that Gu Zizhan was probing something?
Unexpectedly, Gu Zizhan blushed suddenly and lowered his head, his voice obviously pretending to be calm. "Look, you know who I am. In a year or two at most, the King of Yu will definitely want me to get married. Rather than making things difficult for each of us, it's better to get together. Don't worry, I'll ask the King of Yu after I go back. Arrange errands for me, with your help, I will not make any big mistakes. After a year or so, I will apply for a foreign release, and the emperor will not refuse. When the time comes, I will take you away and fly away, and I will never again Someone is embarrassing you."
That's the way it is.Chu Lan's heart slowly fell back at this point.
Over there, Gu Zizhan paused for a moment, then continued to speak sincerely: "Besides, this Prince Yu's Mansion is not safe for me."
Having said that, Gu Zizhan told Chu Lan about the incident of being poisoned.
Hearing this, Chu Lan became angry immediately, and said angrily, "How unreasonable!" Then she showed a mocking smile and said, "King Yu is really old, but he is so useless!"
Gu Zizhan didn't care about her evaluation of King Yu, he just didn't want to make her worry, so he interrupted jokingly: "Don't talk about those people, I haven't been hurt after all. Come on, let's continue talking about the matter just now. Marry me, and I guarantee that you will not suffer or be fooled. Anyway, I can't beat you, and if we have disputes in the future, I will suffer more."
"How is it? How about marrying this son?"
Chu Lan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked with a smile: "But what you said just now is mostly for your benefit. You have to tell me, if I marry you, what benefits will I have?"
Gu Zizhan froze for a moment, snapped his fingers, and began to rack his brains for examples.
"Well, the first point, as I have already said, is that after you get married, you don't have to be bullied by your elder brother and first room. If you are alone, you will not have those troubles in the back house in the future, and you will be happy. Come on, you are so good, you must have your own ambitions, no matter what ideas you have, no matter what you want to do, I will definitely support it with all my strength! If anyone else dares to gossip, I will be the first to let you go! Besides, you don’t need to be attached to me, but I have to rely on you..."
Hearing Gu Zizhan babbling endlessly over there, and seeing her sincere face, Chu Lan felt a little moved in his heart.
Gu Zizhan really put her first to be considerate, there are many things, and even touched her heart.
She has an indifferent personality and has always had no desires or desires, but she has been assigned many tasks.It's not that no one cares about her, but those concerns are more or less mixed with their own thoughts.Only the person in front of her could see through her pride and ambition at a glance.
More importantly, when Gu Zizhan said the phrase "marry me", besides the suspicion caused by disbelief, there was also a hint of joy in her heart.
But, it shouldn't be like this, at least this matter shouldn't be said by the person in front of him.
Suppressing those unclear emotions in his heart, Chu Lan did not answer and asked instead: "Marriage has been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers since ancient times. You and I get married, not to mention my father. How can King Yu agree? "The implication is that if King Yu would agree, the marriage contract would not be canceled in the first place.
Gu Zizhan laughed, his eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth were sly.
"Alan may have forgotten that the current queen is Alan's aunt. If you ask her a few more times, she will definitely agree to marry you. Besides, you are the most skilled female medical officer in the palace. You also trust it very much, with the help of the two of them, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"
There were some things that Gu Zizhan didn't say clearly, but Chu Lan understood.
Now that King Yu is powerful in the court, no matter who marries Gu Zizhan, he will give King Yu more power, and Emperor Tianshun will definitely not tolerate it.On the contrary, if Gu Zizhan married Chu Lan, because the Chu family's heart was towards the emperor, it would be like leaving a nail in Yu Wang's mansion. Yu Wang had to restrain himself when he was constrained, and Emperor Tianshun would naturally be happy to see it succeed.Chu Lan sighed in her heart, fortunately, this person is not really stupid.And I couldn't help laughing at myself, how could something as simple as the reason cause me to be so upset?
Seeing that Chu Lan didn't answer her, Gu Zizhan felt thirsty after talking too much, took a sip of water, and continued to ask cheekily, "A Lan, you still have to tell me first, are you willing to marry me?"
She had a smile on her face and her eyes were burning, and Chu Lan felt a warmth in her heart.Couldn't help teasing her: "Gu Shizi is really scheming, you clearly want me to ask for marriage..." She felt teased again: "Hmph, I haven't agreed to marry you yet. Woolen cloth!"
Seeing her like this, Gu Zizhan couldn't help but feel flustered.It suddenly became clear in his mind that he might really be tempted by Chu Lan.
A warm feeling rose in her heart, this was the first time she was tempted by a person, young and impulsive, even if the other person didn't know what she wanted, it was still difficult to restrain the joy in her heart.
She took Chu Lan's hand, and seeing that Chu Lan didn't break free but just looked at her fixedly, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
His palms were also sweating, and Gu Zizhan's voice was serious but could not hide his trembling: "Alan, although this is a temporary solution, I will work hard, you have to believe me, and you have to wait for me."
She didn't dare to express this feeling.
She was afraid of the shock caused by this shocking feeling, and even more afraid of seeing resistance and disgust in Chu Lan's eyes.I only dare to silently promise this selfish expectation in my heart.
Since this life is already an irreversible destiny, being able to meet each other at first sight is also a gift from destiny early in the morning.
If I can get you to go with me, even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect you in this dark and unclear situation, and work hard to protect the future you expect.Might as well tie each other's fates closer together.So tight that we can't pull it apart anymore, so tight that it is as firm as a rock, then we are each other's destined people.
Even if, in the end, you really have no intention of doing so, you will never be restrained again.For the rest of my life, I will be happy for the two lives, and go live by myself.
Facing Gu Zizhan's clear and firm gaze, Chu Lan suddenly felt a trembling sound in his heart that had been dusty for a long time.
Lowering his head slightly, he gently withdrew his hand from the opponent's palm, and forcibly restrained his mind.
The smile on Gu Zizhan's face faded, and then he forced it back up again.
This scene was captured by Chu Lan's eyes, and her heart was slightly sour, and her emotions were difficult to describe.
After a brief silence, Chu Lan spoke in a leisurely voice, "This matter is not a top priority."
Gu Zizhan was taken aback for a moment, then he heard Chu Lan continue.
"It's been a few days since you came back. Have you ever thought about what King Yu's real intentions are? Now you should know that King Yu knew about Ziwei Xingjun early in the morning. He raised Gu Che as a man since he was a child. What's the plan for you to be raised by Daoist Priest Yuanxu again? Now, you are here under the fate of Lord Ziwei Xing, how will Daoist Yuanxu and King Yu deal with you?"
After she finished speaking, the enthusiasm in Gu Zizhan's heart was quenched, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Indeed, as Chu Lan said, she still doesn't know the plans of King Yu and Daoist Yuanxu, and this point is always uneasy, like a sword hanging above her head.
After a while of silence, a thought flashed in his mind, his face turned pale with panic, and he lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that they want to conspire, rebel?"
Yes, King Guan Yu acted, he did not show the love that a father should have for Gu Zizhan, and he actively cultivated his own power in the court, which seemed to be a bit of a rival to Emperor Tianshun, clearly ambitious !Then, how could he be indifferent to Gu Zizhan's Ziwei's fate?
However, Ziwei's fate belongs to Gu Zizhan, but not to King Yu.In addition, now that Emperor Shun's throne is stable, and he already has a prince and grandson, how can it be so easy to seek to usurp the throne? Does he really dare to have such big ambitions?
What's more, I don't know what kind of role I am in his plot?
Seeing the panic in Gu Zizhan's eyes, Chu Lan sighed softly.
"You're right, King Yu, you are indeed ambitious. Daoist Yuanxu also has revenge on His Majesty because of those old incidents. So, now you should understand why he doesn't care whether you are still Gu Che or not." Right. Because no matter who you are, your arrival is the opportunity he and Daoist Yuanxu have been waiting for."
Gu Zizhan couldn't help but slumped back on the back of his chair.
After a long time, she said slowly, "Then, Alan, what are your plans with Daoist Yuan Hui?" She frowned again, "Or is Daoist Yuan Hui defecting to Grand Tutor Chu and His Majesty?"
Chu Lan bowed her head and remained silent for a long time.
"There are too many twists and turns in this, but my master has long since let go and has nothing to do with the Chu family. After all, you have to believe that I will not hurt you."
At this point, it's getting late, and it's time for Taifu Chu to go back to the palace.
Gu Zizhan couldn't stay any longer, so he had to take this new thought and said his goodbyes.
Before leaving, Chu Lan suddenly called her back, and the expression on her face had calmed down a lot.
He added abruptly, "By the way, when I entered the palace a few days ago, the empress asked about you. After a while, you should go back to the Imperial College to study."
He added: "This year's annual exam is in October."
**********
When Gu Zizhan came out from the Chu Mansion, the original joy in his heart was tinged with loneliness.
Until the end, Chu Lan didn't answer her proposal, but the new words made her even more melancholy, and her heart felt astringent.
But she also understands that in order to protect herself, the top priority is to get out of Prince Yu's mansion as soon as possible without making Prince Yu suspicious.
She has no idea how to do this.Helpless, I can only comfort myself, the future will be long, and I should think about it in the long run.But first of all, she has to find a way to appear in front of everyone as soon as possible. With the title of Prince Yu's son, she will always be under the shadow of King Yu and cannot stand up.
This point, whether it is for her marriage with Chu Lan or her own safety, will do more harm than good.
What's more, she has no property now, and everything has to be given by King Yu, which is not a solution after all.
Gu Zizhan knew that power and money were the most important in both ancient and modern society.She can't do anything about power for the time being, but when it comes to money, maybe she can learn from other time-traveling people and try to bring over the novelties of making money in modern society.
She originally wanted to talk to Chu Lan about this, but she was too confused just now and forgot to mention it.
Now that he has settled down, Gu Zizhan decides that he should come up with a charter first, and then let Chu Lan check it out, and he can't rely on Chu Lan to help her.But in short, money must be earned, otherwise, relying on the salary of the prince's son, he would not even get a dowry for Chu Lan.
However, thinking of Chu Lan's words before leaving, Gu Zizhan was still a little confused.Well, why did you suddenly mention the Imperial College and the annual exam?
Suddenly his eyes lit up, Gu Zizhan sat up suddenly from the carriage, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.
The Guozijian will arrange an annual examination for their clan and lord's children who cannot participate in the imperial examination. Those with excellent grades can directly report to the Ministry of Officials for a job title. This is the most important opportunity for her right now.
Overjoyed in his heart, Gu Zizhan seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, Ah Lan, he still favors her!
Not long after Gu Zizhan left, Jianwei came back.
Seeing her, Chu Lan frowned slightly.The heart, which was already unclear, became even more chaotic in an instant.
Jian Wei saw her expression, panicked, and quickly knelt down. "Miss, this servant realizes his mistake."
Chu Lan was silent for a long time, then said coldly: "Just this time, there will never be a next time."
