Chapter 46 Sudden wind and rain came, and life and death were delayed
In the end, Chu Lan was diagnosed as Ximai by Xu Yi, the head of the Imperial Hospital. At the Grand Court Meeting, the grandson kept talking about his expectations for the "little brother" in Chu Lan's belly, which can be regarded as the acquiescence of Emperor Tianshun and the prince.In this way, this "pregnancy" matter, it's really hard to say that it will be gone for a while, at least we have to wait for this farce to pass, and then let this "child" disappear without a sound.
Therefore, Grand Tutor Chu came to look for Chu Lan, and what he wanted to talk about was also this matter.
Chu Lan was also waiting for him.
On this day, the sky began to rain lightly, and the heat that had just risen was dampened.Just ten days have passed since Chu Lan and Gu Zizhan discovered that Princess Yu was the person behind the scenes.Chu Lan also sighed in her heart, her father was as calm as ever.
Taifu Chu knew that Chu Lan was not close to his father since he was a child, but now because he helped Emperor Tianshun trap Chu Lan in the palace as a bait, no matter how many legitimate reasons he thought he had, the one who put his daughter in danger Facts are irrefutable.
Up to now, Emperor Tianshun and King Yu could be said to be in conflict, only the last layer of skin has not been torn, but it is not far from being torn.Taifu Chu was a few years younger than Emperor Tianshun, but he was a young man who achieved great ambitions. When Emperor Tianshun was still the prince, he entered the East Palace and worked as Zhan Shifu in Zhan Shifu. At that time, Emperor Tianshun called him "Little Master".
When Emperor Tianshun came to the throne, he was named Taifu, and taught the prince himself to read. Speaking of it, he can be regarded as the emperor's teacher of the two dynasties.
From the standpoint of Grand Tutor Chu, it is an unforgivable crime for King Yu to disrespect the emperor and covet the throne.In order to get rid of traitors, no matter what the means are, they are all feasible.As for Chu Lan, he thinks he can protect her. As for Gu Zizhan, as long as she doesn't collude with her father, for his own daughter, he will never take the initiative to harm her.
Therefore, when he saw Chu Lan, Taifu Chu felt that he had no guilt and was very calm.
It's just that when he saw his daughter's colder face, there was still a wave of waves in his heart.
Seeing Chu Lan being helped in by Jian Wei, Mrs. Chu's Fu Wei was a little surprised, and coughed lightly. The words of concern that she wanted to say turned into reproaches when she said them. "What's wrong with your body? Why are you so incapable of taking care of yourself! Don't play around with that kid all day, you don't know what's wrong!"
Chu Lan waved her hand to let Jian Wei go down, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Chu, and said lightly: "My daughter is pregnant, so I should be more vigilant. Isn't this all arranged by my father?"
Taifu Chu's expression froze, and he asked without answering, "What do you mean? Those are just expedient measures. You're so smart, why can't you figure it out?"
Chu Lan stopped looking at him, and smiled coldly, "Father said it lightly. In the hall, everyone knows that I am pregnant. Is it possible that this child can be as long as you say it is, and it is gone if you say it is not?" "
Taifu Chu didn't want to argue with her, so he paused and said: "In short, you are a doctor yourself, in a day or two you can think of a way to make this child disappear."
Thinking of the failure of success that day, he couldn't help but blame him: "My father and His Majesty have already made an arrangement on that day. As long as Prince Yu comes out to identify King Yu's treason, he can take down King Yu's party. Don't think I don't know, You must have had a hand in the grandson's going to the palace, You'er, you are too ignorant now, and you have disappointed my father."
Chu Lan felt chills in his heart, couldn't bear it, and said coldly: "Where did Zizhan know about King Yu, and how did he come to identify him? What father and His Majesty are thinking, could it be that torture is a trick? But how innocent is she?" ! After your affairs are accomplished, King Yu is guilty of treason and death, but Zizhan, as the eldest son, denounced his father, and became an unfaithful and unfilial person. How could she die!"
He lowered his eyebrows and sighed, "Father, you are so cruel!"
Chu Taifu was stung in his heart, and then he slapped the case fiercely, and said angrily: "You are full of children's private affairs, what right do you have to criticize being a father! You can't tell which is more important than to give up one person to gain the world's peace." Is it? If you want to blame, blame her for being born in the Prince Yu's mansion by mistake!"
Chu Lan looked straight at him for a long time, shook his head, and sighed, "Then why did you let me marry into Prince Yu's Mansion at the beginning?" His eyes were as cold as ice, and they shot at Taifu Chu's eyes, "You have been married so early in the morning. You planned it like this, to exchange the happiness and innocence of your own daughter for the evidence used to kill her husband!" I thought it was my own plan, but I didn't want to, from the very beginning, I fell into the scheme of others!Really hateful!
Stirred by the chill in Chu Lan's eyes, Taifu Chu opened his mouth, but he could no longer say the word "yes".
Chu Lan no longer waited for his answer.He stood up, turned his back to Grand Tutor Chu, and said in a cold voice, "Gu Zizhan was born with the same quilt and died with the same acupuncture point. My daughter is safe! As for the child in my womb, you might as well tell my father that I am indeed pregnant. If you don't believe me, my lord May Your Majesty please send Yi Xu to come to check the pulse again. Father, don't forget, according to the Law of Dazhao, whoever is convicted of treason will be executed for the sake of eradicating the grass and pregnant female relatives."
"Besides, when Wang Yunhe went to surrender to His Majesty, he should have mentioned Ziwei's astrology. Let me tell you directly, what will happen today is not up to anyone. Even so, Zizhan and I have already identified His Highness the Crown Prince. If you still don't believe me, then I have nothing more to say."
After a short pause, Chu Lan finally couldn't hold back, and sighed, "How many innocent people do you have to implicate for the mistakes of the previous generation? Father, do you really think that I don't know the truth about my mother's death? I think I should get lost It's you who knows!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Lan stopped staying and walked out.
Taifu Chu sat down slowly, leaning on the back of the chair, his stiff back slowly relaxed, sinking inch by inch into the back of the chair, like a withered old tree, the heavier the snow falls, the more it will bend the back.There are some things that he never refuted, because he felt ashamed and disdainful.But he never thought that with this step by step, he has become farther and farther away from the original self, and he can no longer turn back.
**********
Chu Lan left in the afternoon, but when she came back in the evening, she didn't see Gu Zizhan.
I only found out after asking Chunhui that not long before her return, Gu Zizhan was summoned by Princess Yu.
Because of Wang Yunhe's matter, Princess Yu completely lost the right to speak in the mansion.Her natal family has collapsed, and the newly appointed Ding Guogong is a side branch of the Wang family, and she is not close to her.Now, although King Yu did not abolish her for the sake of his own reputation and Gu Zizhan's status as "the first son", the power to manage the affairs of the mansion has been taken back from her, and part of it has been given to Chu Lan. .
In this way, it was a good thing for Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan.
When Gu Zizhan saw Princess Yu, he was very surprised.In just a few days, Princess Yu's complexion was sallow, and her whole body was like a decaying flower, aging by dozens of years.
She was sick in bed, seeing Gu Zizhan, Princess Yu was a little stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said: "You and the prince really looked alike when you were young. When I first saw him, it was you." Such a handsome young man." A wry smile appeared again, "It's a pity, knowing people and faces, but not heart."
Father Xiao, a girl, Gu Che's eyebrows and eyes are indeed more like King Yu.Gu Zizhan didn't respond, and sat down beside her, feeling a little complicated in his heart.The two were silent for a long time.
Princess Yu raised her hand to let the maids around to step back, looked at Gu Zizhan, smiled lightly, and could vaguely see the demeanor of her youth. "Paper can't wrap fire, look at you, you probably already know those things, right?"
Gu Zizhan looked at her with a confused expression, nodded and shook his head, and replied, "I've heard about it. I just don't know why you are doing this to me."
Princess Yu suddenly sneered, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she cursed viciously: "You don't know, you don't know? Gu Che, how dare you say you don't know? You are too shameless!"
Gu Zizhan's scalp was numb from the sudden change in her face, he subconsciously stood up and took a few steps back, but Princess Yu kept talking. "Gu Che! I don't know what evildoer you are. My child was born on the same day as you. If it wasn't for your fate, how could he die! You killed him! And Qing'er, my Qing'er! , it was you who killed him!"
Suddenly, Princess Yu's expression became miserable again, and tears flowed from her eyes. "When I didn't know this before, I was considerate that you didn't have a mother, and I wanted to treat you well. Once, once, I treated you like a parent and child! I once hugged you, put you to sleep, taught you to call your mother, and when you were sick , I was so anxious that I couldn’t close my eyes all night! Even though I had Qing’er, I never treated you harshly. On the contrary, I was really happy and felt that I had your sons and my wish was fulfilled! But thinking about it now makes me sick!”
"What is Ziwei Xing's fate! Nonsense! You are an evil! You, damn it!"
Gu Zizhan felt a sharp pain in his heart!The pain was heart-piercing, and there was infinite sadness in my heart, and my head almost exploded!This emotion is obviously not her own, but it is uncontrollable!
At this moment, she realized very clearly that in this body, there really was someone else!
Could it be that it's really Gu Che? !
In the middle of the night, there was a commotion in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Chu Lan heard that Duan Yong from outside came to report, and was standing at the gate of the outer courtyard looking around, when he saw Gu Zizhan stumbling towards him in the rain.
Her face was covered in blood!
Chu Lan was startled, and hurried forward to meet her.
Half of Gu Zizhan's face was covered in blood, and she was already panicked to the extreme. It was only when she saw Chu Lan for the first time that she felt a sense of reality.He almost fell into Chu Lan's arms with a half-throw, the blood on Gu Zizhan's face was congealed with the rain, and under the lights, he looked a little gloomy.
Chu Lan's heart was suffocated, and she exclaimed, "Zizhan! What's going on here?"
Gu Zizhan couldn't say a word.
When she returned to the house, Chu Lan didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just let Jian Wei fetch water, retreated the crowd, and gently wiped the blood off Gu Zizhan's face.Only then did she realize that there was a long bloody gash on her side face.Chu Lan could tell at a glance that it was injured by a dagger.
The blade cut through the skin, and the mole on the end of Gu Zizhan's eyebrow was cut right in the middle.
Blood continued to ooze out, and Chu Lan hurriedly took the medicine box to stop her bleeding.Gu Zizhan was still in a trance, trembling all over.
After a long time, Gu Zizhan gradually recovered.She raised her head to look at Chu Lan, and seeing Chu Lan's caring and anxious expression, she said in a trembling voice for a long time:
"Alan, I, I killed Princess Yu!"
"Gu Che, Gu Che is back!"
The medicine bottle in Chu Lan's hand fell with a "bang".
That night, news came from outside that Princess Yu died.
