Chapter 42
Gu Zizhan's fantasy of a beautiful day when the golden wind and the jade dew meet did not come true.
Just as she was being taught how to behave with small fists by Chu Lan, someone knocked on the door of the room.
Jian Wei stood outside the door, and saw Chu Lan who was blocking the door with a reddish face, and Gu Zizhan who was lying on the bed with tears in his eyes.In an instant, Jian Wei's mind was full of turmoil, and he finished acting out a love action drama with ups and downs - he never thought that his own lady would be so vigorous? ? ?
Seeing Wei Wei in a daze, Chu Lan glanced at Gu Zizhan erratically, straightened her body, and blocked Jian Wei's gaze.The calmness returned to his face, and he asked, "It's the hour, what's the matter?"
Jian Wei obviously hadn't recovered yet, and subconsciously thought that Chu Lan was asking her if it was a good time to come, so her face flushed instantly, and she stuttered a little, "Ah? No, it's not suitable?"
Listening to the conversation between the master and the servant, Gu Zizhan rolled on the bed laughing.
Jian Wei was annoyed by her smile, and spat: "Bah! Little boy!"
Chu Lan turned her head and gave Gu Zizhan a blank stare, she gathered her mind, knew that Jian Wei must have something important to do, and led her in. "What's the matter, come in and talk."
Gu Zizhan also hurriedly got up and sat down, put on his coat obediently, and walked to Chu Lan's side.
Probably because he consciously broke the "good thing" of his own lady. When Jian Wei faced Gu Zizhan, he didn't hate her any more. He lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, talking to Chu Lan about something serious.
This matter is indeed something extraordinary.
According to Jianwei, Chu Lan's carriage met people from Dingguo's mansion who were oppressing merchants in the west of the city. After Bai Er rescued them, he settled them down.Later, it was learned that the family had a daughter who worked in Yu Wang's mansion, but the family kept silent about the others.Recently, Bai Er resorted to some tricks and finally got the family to open their mouths.Unexpectedly, the eldest sister of their family who died after working as a servant in Prince Yu's Mansion was actually called Qiuxia!
Qiuxia!As soon as the name came out, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan looked at each other in unison.Gu Zizhan was even more shocked for a moment, and blurted out, "Dingguo Mansion? Is it from Wang Yunhe?"
Many thoughts flashed through Chu Lan's mind, and she answered after a short pause: "At that time, it should be Wang Yunhe's person."
The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they both saw that the other had something to say.
After Jian Wei went out, Gu Zizhan hurriedly said, "Why did Wang Yunhe's people go to make things difficult for Qiuxia's family? Could it be—"
Chu Lan nodded and said for her, "They should be doing things for others."
Gu Zizhan then continued: "Yes, that's right! It won't be King Yu, I am of great use to him, and he would definitely not be able to kill me at that time. Besides, if he really ordered Qiuxia to murder me, according to his character , killed people early in the morning, it is impossible to leave these hidden dangers, let alone hand them over to the Wang family. Wang family, speaking of this Wang family, it is impossible, it is actually—"
The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Princess Yu!"
Speaking of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, although it was the mother's home of Emperor Tianshun and Yu Wang's birth mother, the Empress Dowager Wang's family, but because of the problem of standing in line in the early years, Emperor Tianshun almost took over the whole house.If it weren't for the kinship relationship with Princess Yu, King Yu would not have reached out to rescue her.Therefore, although the Wang family relied on King Yu, in the final analysis, they were still relying on this level of in-law relationship.Then it is only natural for them to work hard for Princess Yu.
But, what does Princess Yu have in mind, why would she want someone to murder Gu Zizhan?
Thinking of something else, Gu Zizhan said: "Actually, thinking about it now, it seems that King Yu's coldness towards Princess Yu also started after I came back. At that time, I was cautious every day in the mansion, and I couldn't think of going deep when I was in trouble. Looking at it now, Could it be that at that time, King Yu had already noticed the strange behavior of Princess Yu and her connection with the Wang family?"
This matter is related to Gu Zizhan's life and safety, and Chu Lan is also very concerned. Hearing what she said, she also frowned and thought about it.
After a while, she said slowly: "If it's really what Princess Yu did, then the reason why she wants to get rid of it should be related to the original Gu Che." Then she asked Gu Zizhan, "Zizhan, do you have any thoughts about this in your mind?" impression?"
Gu Zizhan still frowned, shook his head and replied, "I don't have any memory related to this." He sighed and said, "Alan, to tell you the truth, I always feel that the memory in my head is a bit strange." Tell Chu Lan about the dream in Wang Xuan's mansion in Erlun County, as well as her own thoughts.
"Sometimes I even suspect that part of Gu Che's thinking is still in my body. Someone is controlling what I should know, and when I should know it." Gu Zizhan finished speaking with a wry smile, and couldn't help but spurn himself .He was there to popularize scientific knowledge with Chu Lan before, so why did he start talking about idealism at this time?
Chu Lan was disturbed by the deep meaning in her words.
A hand subconsciously grasped Gu Zizhan's arm with slender knuckles, but Gu Zizhan felt that her hand was exerting force.Knowing that she was worried, Gu Zizhan reached out and patted Chu Lan's back, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Chu Lan straightened up and met her eyes.I heard Gu Zizhan continue to say: "Since I can come here, as you said, everything is destiny. I am the one who married you, and I am the one who joins hands with you. As long as you and I are of the same mind, I will never Leaving you."
Chu Lan's eyes were slightly red, and she forced a smile to answer her, "I don't allow you to leave me. If one day, Shangqiongbi falls into Huangquan, I will definitely take you back!"
Gu Zizhan laughed loudly: "Your Majesty has orders, so the villain will naturally obey them!"
Even with Gu Zizhan's guarantee, Chu Lan still didn't dare to trust her. That night, she wrote a letter in hand, called Qingyuan in front of Gu Zizhan, and mailed it to Daoist Yuan Hui.
When Gu Zizhan saw this big bird for the first time, he was so frightened that he flinched, which made Chu Lan laugh a lot.
At the same time, because they were suspicious of Princess Yu, they asked Bai Er to go to Qiuxia's family to search for clues in the past few days.Gu Zizhan recalled that Duan Yong was asked to investigate the relationship between Liu An and Liu Xi before, but he only remembered that when Duan Yong returned to his command, he said that Liu An's aunt was no longer in his hometown, so Gu Zizhan did not order Duan Yong to continue the investigation.
Now it seems that these two people are involved in the same case, and there is a lot involved behind it, which should not be taken lightly.He simply put Bai Er and Duan Yong together, and continued to investigate the two families.
**********
For the sake of the emperor's face and to appease Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan, Emperor Tianshun gave out many rewards on the second day Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan returned home.Those who didn't know, such as Chunhui and others, only said that this was a routine reward for Chu Lan's pregnancy, but Duan Yong and Jian Wei, who were shrewd, gradually realized that something was wrong—these things were a bit too expensive, not like rewards, but rather More like gag.
Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan didn't say much about this, but with their keenness, how can they not understand that this is the default.Chu Lan did it more directly, because Gu Zizhan was grounded by Emperor Tianshun, and she didn't even say how long the time limit was, so she also used the excuse of "raising the fetus" to nest with Gu Zizhan in her yard and feed them all day long. Hey beautiful, teasing Zizhan, so happy.
Since the exchange of minds, Gu Zizhan finally got Chu Lan's consent to the matter that Gu Zizhan had been thinking about all day long.So these two inexperienced young people finally achieved the first great harmony in their lives through unremitting exploration and hard work.
From then on, Gu Zizhan could not extricate himself from eating marrow and taste.
As for her various excuses and reasons, Chu Lan also sincerely admired her.
Take a jug of wine and drink it with Chu Lan's flowers. Gu Zizhan said that this is called "a jug of wine among the flowers", and it is natural to "friend each other when you wake up";
Chu Lan wanted to read at night, and Gu Zizhan was bothering her, so Chu Lan told Gu Zizhan to go to bed first, and Gu Zizhan would start to complain, saying that Chu Lan was "urging the young man to go to sleep first, so that the mandarin quilt will keep warm", so it is better to directly "Take off your clothes, let your passion be unlimited";
Even when Chu Lan changed into new clothes, Gu Zizhan was able to step forward and move his hands and feet. After being knocked to the ground, he held his head and said quietly: "I advise you not to cherish the golden thread clothes, and I advise you to cherish the flowers when you are young. Open and fold straight, don't wait for no flowers to break branches."
What's more, one day, Gu Zizhan actually took Chunhui away from her family's "Yanli" with Chunhui on his back, and carried it in front of Chu Lan, carrying "There are dead deer in the wild, covered with white grass. There are women who cherish spring, and Jishi lures them... ...." Before finishing reciting, I saw Chunhui chasing from behind with a face full of anger, scolding her for being shameless, and at the same time scolding her for cursing her little dog.
..........
Some of these poems have existed in this time and space, and some of them have not, which are all explained by their straightforward literal meaning and Gu Zizhan's current nonsense.Regarding this, Chu Lan was really angry and funny, but also somewhat shy. In the end, she had to follow it, and she felt comfortable physically and mentally, and benefited a lot.
**********
On the first day of May, Fu You came.
Ten days have passed since the farce at the Great Court Meeting.
During these ten days, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan didn't leave the gate, but they knew everything about the outside world.It's just that Fu You didn't know about this, and when he came here this time, he also wanted to inform them about the follow-up situation of the Dachaohui.
Since that day in Erlun County, Fu You escorted Wang Shuli's coffin back to Beijing, but Gu Zizhan has not seen him for a month.Goodbye now, I just feel that Fu You has matured a lot, but the smile on his face is also much less.Fu You just passed his 20th birthday the day before yesterday, and he has lost a lot of weight, his face is less green, and he looks like a young man.He also stopped paying attention to the errands in Dali Temple, and began to focus on making money to become rich.
I just heard from Fu You that Wang Yunhe was deprived of all titles and sentenced to beheaded by Qiu Hou. All males in the direct line were sentenced to exile, his wives and relatives were sent to the teaching workshop, and all the daughters he gave birth to were thrown into the palace as a slave. Slaves are servants.The wife's family was also implicated, and the fifth generation in the family could not participate in the imperial examination, nor could it be an official in the court.
Those involved, Cao Yan, Liu Chong, Wang Xuan and others needless to say, were charged with colluding with the rebellious party and slandering the East Palace.Even some folk merchants who have some relationship with the fake official bank, or even those who just used the fake official bank, who could not tell the source, were fined to confiscate all their family property, beheaded themselves to show the public, and all their family members were exiled as slaves to those in armor. .
Wang Yun and the leaders of the local garrisons involved in the evidence were also replaced by the dragon knight guards sent by Emperor Tianshun early in the morning. The dragon rider guards personally searched for the evidence, and once the evidence was convincing, they would be killed immediately on the spot.
As for the crown prince, because of his lack of strict control, his subordinate official—Zhan Shifu Xu Ruogu of the East Palace Zhan Shifu arrived, removed his position as Zhan Shi, and was demoted to the fifth rank Zuo Zanshan doctor. The prince was also fined for one year.
All of a sudden, rivers of blood flowed from top to bottom of the ruling and opposition parties, but the East Palace was safe and sound.
In such a comparison, it is inevitable that it will not be chilling.Therefore, although the government and the public were suppressed by Emperor Tianshun's iron and blood wrists, the undercurrent surging under it has become more and more intense.
