Chapter 100:

Gu Chenzhi stood up and brushed off his robe casually, elegant and noble.
He is 36 years old this year. Because of martial arts training, he is very well maintained, tall and straight. He is dressed in a lake-blue brocade robe with a jade brocade around his waist, with a bloodstone small seal, a sachet, and temples. I clipped a few silver wires, but it doesn’t appear old, on the contrary it adds a bit of maturity and stability.
He turned his back and stared at the red maple leaf outside the window.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chenzhi suddenly said: "After my father came back from the capital this trip, he treated me worse than before."
From the front-end king, the eyes that looked at him were trust, value, and kindness, but after coming back this time, Gu Chenzhi always felt that King Duan’s attitude towards him had undergone an extremely subtle change, with a look in his eyes. And inquiry, not as unreserved as before...
Gu Chenzhi's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his heart seemed to be crushed by a boulder, breathless.
The middle-aged man thought about it carefully, and calmly said: "Sejong, according to your subordinates, you are more concerned. The prince also praised the sejong's steadfast behavior and the style of Emperor Sejong two days ago." Emperor Sejong is Gu Chenzhi’s grandfather is known as Mingjun, unlike the emperor...
Gu Chenzhi's tight figure relaxed again, thinking about it, and whispered: "Hope."
Outside the window, Fenglin swayed with the wind, and his pupils were tinged with blood against the red maple, cruel and stern with a bloodthirsty light.
The rising sun in the sky was blocked by layers of clouds, suddenly it became darker inside and outside the house, and there was a bit of condensation in the air.
One of Gu Chen sat back and said, "King Yu's affairs, you should pay more attention."
As he spoke, his brows wrinkled tightly, feeling not only a faint pain in his chest, but even his head was a little dizzy.
Suddenly, he felt a little flower in front of him, and his lips were wet...
In the next instant, I saw the middle-aged man yelling nervously: "Sir, you have a nosebleed!"
Gu Chenzhi raised his hand and touched his own person, and saw that the fingertips were covered with bright red blood, which was shockingly red.
The middle-aged man reported that he shouted: "Come on, please call the doctor!"
He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chenzhi's eyes with distress.
Shi Zi is a martial artist, and his body has always been healthy, and he is no worse than a young man in his twenties. But recently I don't know if it is because of Qiu Dryness. Shi Zi's body is always not very good and often has headaches.
There was a commotion inside and outside the study, and immediately there was a small servant eager to seek medical treatment.
In a short while, the government doctor came, and King Duan also came, only one step behind the government doctor.
"The son of the world is fine. It's just that I've been too tired recently and haven't slept well, so the internal heat is insufficient." The doctor said respectfully, "The villain will go and prescribe a prescription for the son of the world to calm the nerves and nourish the energy, but The elder son still needs to rest well."
The young man from the side worriedly echoed: "The Royal Palace Doctor, Shi Ziye has indeed been unable to sleep well recently, and often wakes up in the middle of the night..."
The princely doctor said again: "The villain is giving the son-in-law a few soothing incense, and he can light it when he sleeps."
After the palace doctor told him, he went down to prescribe the prescription and grab the medicine. The young man sent the palace doctor out, and ordered the people to watch the medicine in person.
Only King Duan and his son were left in the study, and the middle-aged man also retired.
The blood stains in Gu Chen's people had long since been wiped off, but his face was slightly pale, completely different from his usual vigor.
Duan Wang looked at the eldest son's unhealthy appearance, a little distressed, and persuaded him kindly: "Chenzhi, for my father, I know that you are busy with work, but you should also pay attention to your body and rest well."
"Father, how can I rest at ease?" Gu Chenzhi said righteously, "The border of West Xinjiang is still unstable, and those small clans are ready to move. They must be kind to them and suppress their arrogance."
Gu Chenzhi's eyes flashed, and he sighed, "Hey!"
"Father, it's a pity that Zezhi misunderstood me too deeply, otherwise we brothers will work together and we will be able to manage Xijiang well."
Speaking of Gu Zezhi who was far away in the capital, King Duan couldn't help sighing, and thinking of his stubborn old wife, his forehead was aching.
He waved his hand and said, "Your third brother is young and energetic, and he is too stubborn. He doesn't understand the pains of being a father."
Family and everything are prosperous, how can the choice of the son of this generation be changed when he says it is changed?
Gu Chenzhi said again: "Father, am I going to Xinzezhi to persuade him..."
King Duan raised his hand to signal that he didn't need it, "The smelly near, the smell of far away, let him calm down in the capital."
King Duan always felt that the princess and Gu Zezhi would always want to understand that they are a family after all, how could they get separated because of a little provocation from outsiders!
"Father is right." Seeing King Duan insisted, Gu Chenzhi stopped persuading him and said, "Father, Zezhi used to be with me when he was in Xijiang. It’s always close, not like that. Did someone say something in front of him after he went to the capital?"
King Duan was silent.
A few days ago, the long history of the palace also mentioned to him that at the time, King Duan thought it was nonsense, but today he heard Gu Chenzhi mention it and couldn't help thinking.
Now think about it, when Zezhi was in Xijiang, he had never had any conflicts with his elder brother. Brothers and friends respectfully, the princess also respected himself as a guest, husband and wife were happy.
But then I went to the capital, and everything changed upside down...
Duan Wang asked himself in a low voice: "Is it the emperor?"
With their own military power, the emperors of the past will be jealous. The emperor will use himself to guard the West, but at the same time he is worried that he will support his own troops. If the palace is in conflict, the emperor can rest assured...
Gu Chenzhi lowered his eyes, and a light flashed across his eyes, "Should the mother concubine have no chance to contact the emperor?"
Hearing that Gu Chenzhi still calls the Xiao family his mother and concubine, Duan Wang said with emotion: The son is really filial, but the princess has changed. As long as the princess arrived in the capital, she proposed to reconcile with herself, and the reconciliation cannot be achieved, and she has to be absolutely essential.
Gu Chenzhi personally added tea to King Duan, and said: "Father, the mother and concubine have always been generous and reasonable. I think who is talking in front of the mother and concubine... Only then will the mother and concubine misunderstand you. "
After the king heard this, he was more satisfied with the eldest son. He felt that he was a filial piety, so how could he go to murder the princess with the concubine!
Who on earth is talking about the princess?
King Duan naturally thought of Qin Jiu, the princess was very satisfied with Qin Jiu's future daughter-in-law, and the princess would probably believe what she said.
The marriage between Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu was gifted by the emperor. Last year, he and the princess rushed to the capital specially for this marriage. Qin Jiu was the niece of Queen Wei. The emperor was afraid to end the palace, so he asked Qin. Ji tried to provoke the discord, which made their father and son, husband and wife renunciation, and made the people of the palace unstable.
For an instant, it was as if the originally disconnected beads were all strung together suddenly, and King Duan suddenly realized that he clenched his fist and punched the small Fangji on his hand.
Gu Chenzhi curled his lips at an angle that King Duan couldn't see. Seeing the change in his expression, he guessed that he wanted to understand.
Duan Wang: "..."
Duan Wang regretted it.
At the beginning, he asked the emperor to choose a marriage for him because of Gu Zezhi's delay in making a decision. At that time, he was really embarrassed. The concubine was not high-born. If he chooses a high-ranking third daughter-in-law, he would be able to overwhelm the elder son. Suspect, pick a low-status, the princess is not happy.
The emperor decides the marriage. Firstly, the elder son and concubine will not think too much. Secondly, the third daughter-in-law will marry from the capital to the west, and the place of life is unfamiliar, so naturally he dare not act too high-profile.
No, he trusts the emperor, but the emperor has been jealous of the palace, and now Gu Zezhi is trapped in the capital.
The more King Duan thought about it, the more he felt wrong, and his heart sank little by little.
Originally, King Duan was expecting Gu Zezhi to think clearly after some time, but now he can't be so optimistic.
Gu Chenzhi saw that King Duan's face was always blue and white, and deliberately asked: "Father, what's the matter with you?"
Duan Wang hesitated for a moment, and then said his guess.
Gu Chenzhi also showed a worried look. After thinking for a while, he proposed: "Father, since this is the case, it is better to pick a good one for Zezhi..."
"You mean..." King Duan moved his eyebrows.
Gu Chenzhi suppressed the agitation in his heart, and methodically said: "This is an imperial marriage. Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, and we can only receive it. But, isn't Zezhi now the king of the county? There can be two concubines..."
Duan Wang was a little moved by Gu Chenzhi's words, but, "Let this king think about it."
The concubine Qin Jiu hadn't even passed the door, so they were anxious to put a side concubine in the palace. Didn't that tell the emperor that they were dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage?
The corners of Gu Chenzhi's lips were raised higher, and he said: "Father, I heard that the cousin of the Prince Yu Mansion went to the capital with the third son of the Prince Yu and the princess."
Yu Wang Mansion? ! King Duan never expected that Gu Chenzhi would mention Prince Yu's Mansion. After all, everyone knew that the emperor was at odds with King Yu.
Gu Chenzhi seemed to see King Duan’s thoughts and went on to say: "Father, if Zezhi marries this cousin from the Prince Yu’s Mansion and treat her as a side concubine, it will alleviate Qin San’s influence on Zezhi. ; Secondly..."
An ambitious ray of light flashed under Gu Chenzhi’s eyes and passed away. He thought about his words and said:
Everyone knows King Yu... has never given up on that position. These years have only been feathered, and the emperor’s trouble Yu's oath to the first emperor prevented King Yu from moving, but gave King Yu a chance to recuperate."
Duan Wang agrees with this.
Gu Chenzhi immediately asked: "Father. Do you think that King Yu will counterattack the capital?" Before King Duan answered, he said to himself, "We have no friendship with King Yu. In this way, throw stones at the king of Yu and ask for directions..."
Of course, King Duan understood the meaning of the eldest son. The eldest son was persuading himself to take this opportunity to establish friendship with the Royal Palace of Yu. No matter how the capital changes in the future, the Royal Palace of Duan can leave a way behind.
"No!" Duan Wang flatly refused.
"Morning, although the emperor is jealous of me for taking over the palace, but I have a clear conscience, and ministers can never hate the emperor for this."
"Moreover, the emperor is kind, even if he would be jealous of Duan's mansion holding heavy soldiers, but he can tolerate even the king of Yu, how can he not tolerate the man's house!" Duan Wang righteously persuaded him, thinking that Gu Chen was the one. Because the emperor was jealous of the affairs of the palace, he thought about it for a while, "You don't want to think about these violent things."
"The emperor is orthodox. If the king is really against it, I will do my best to end the palace. Even if I die, I must be rescued by the king! How can it be swayed like a wall."
Gu Chenzhi: "..."
Gu Chenzhi was silent. He guessed the beginning and induced the process, but never thought of the ending.
King Duan continued to teach: "Chenzhi, you are the son of the elder, and you are going to inherit the palace of Duan. You must not give birth to this kind of disobedience."
"Hey, take a step back and say, if the emperor really thinks it is better to keep Zezhi in the capital, then Duan Palace should also listen."
"There is also Miss Qin San, I have seen it for my father. No matter what she has selfishness, she is still filial to the princess. Zezhi is also very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law, and everything is in harmony with her family."
King Duan and Gu Chenzhi looked at each other, raised their hands to pat Gu Chenzhi's shoulder, and said with a serious face, "No need to mention this matter."
"Father..."
Gu Chenzhi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by King Duan: "Chenzhi, take a good rest, don't bother, leave for the father."
Gu Chenzhi: "..."
Gu Chenzhi got up and wanted to send King Duan, but was dismissed by King Duan: "No need to give it."
King Duan left, leaving only one of Gu Chen looking at the swaying curtain in front of him.
"Rainy..."
The sound of the curtain swaying intertwined with the sound of the wind blowing on the branches and leaves outside.
Gu Chenzhi's fist placed on his side was squeezed, released and then squeezed, his chest felt suffocated again, and the first throbbed pain.
The father and the king had always been willing to listen to him, but he didn't expect that their father and son would have such a big difference on this matter.
Although for himself, letting Gu Zezhi marry the cousin of the Yu Palace was not what he meant to tell his father, but his refusal would still have a great impact on his plan.
He had to think hard about what to do next.
"..." Gu Chenzhi's heart surged, and he sat down again, frowning slightly.
The sky outside became more gloomy, and the clouds were piled on top of each other in the sky, and the wind was strong.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Gu Chenzhi grabbed a veil, covered his mouth and coughed violently. When he removed the veil, he saw that the moon-white veil was stained red with blood, which was shocking.
He stared at the red veil, his pupils shrank sharply, and his mouth was full of blood.
He felt his chest depressed, and he felt cold all over, as if soaking in a bone-to-earth lake in winter, his limbs were slightly numb.
After King Duan left Gu Chenzhi's outer study, he was still thinking about what Gu Chenzhi had just said, his brows frowned.
He suddenly stopped and looked back at Gu Chenzhi's study. At this moment, the black and oppressive clouds seemed to be falling down, covering the top of the room, looking very depressed.
King Duan sighed and continued to walk forward, feeling that Shizi was a bit eager to do his best.
King Duan originally wanted to go to the palace, but temporarily changed his mind and went to his study. He planned to write a letter to Gu Zezhi in the capital.
Zezhi looked gentle, but he wanted to be top-notch in everything. He was young and energetic. In case he wanted to be crooked like his elder brother, and he couldn't stop him when he was thousands of miles away in Xijiang, he still had to write a letter to mention something. Row.
When he came to his outer study room, he found that the study room was strangely quiet inside and outside, and there was no sweeping maid in the yard, and it looked empty.
It wasn't until he walked under the eaves that the maid hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master."
Duan Wang went into the study with his hands, and remembered the princess again.
Since returning from the capital to Luo'an City in the past few months, he has also realized the difference between the presence and absence of the princess. In the past, the princess had always handled the palace properly. In the female lead and the male lead, he only needs to take care of the outside affairs. Okay, but now, the servants in this palace are obviously relaxed, often running out of sight, and even the cuisine in the palace has become out of his taste.
Nowadays, the palace is headed by the concubine of the eldest son. He is the father-in-law, so it is hard to question the trivial matter of the concubine’s kitchen!
"Pen and ink serve!"
Duanwang's letter was sent out on the same day and reached Gu Zezhi on September 18. On the same day, Gu Zezhi had already received another letter from Xijiang.
The Flying Pigeon Biography was sent by Gu Zezhi’s relatives who stayed in Luo'an City. The letter mentioned that his son Gu Chenzhi was in poor health recently. In addition to the government doctor, he also invited an outside doctor to come back to check his pulse. Exhausted, caused by fatigue.
Shizi returned from illness, but he was not idle, and was secretly seizing power, trying to take advantage of Duanwang.
Gu Zezhi twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile, with a kind of indifferent indifference, his eyes were light.
Jiuhexiang is a "good thing", of course he has to be courteous!
Qiufeng gently brushed his hair from the window. He has a straight, green lotus color, and his temperament is gentle and elegant, as bright as the breeze, and bright as the moon.
"Crack, click..."
Qin Jiao ate the crisp sweet jujube by the side, looked at Gu Zezhi, and said in his heart: Jun is handsome, who knows, under the light wind, that is full of wicked eyes.
Looking at him like this, you know someone is unlucky again. Qin Jiu said silently.
After reading the letter from his trusted confidants, Gu Zezhi put it on the Fangji on hand, as if he didn't care whether he would let Qin Jiu see it.
The close-fitting servant guarding by the side naturally noticed, and he had a better understanding of the future mistress's position in the master's heart.
Gu Zezhi continued to read the letter from King Duan, and even he was unavoidably surprised by this look.
In the letter, King Duan asked him not to worry about the cousin of the Yu Palace, saying that he should not be half-hearted, and that he should not be dismissive.
Gu Zezhi: "?"
Gu Zezhi's gaze was fixed on the words "three hearts and two minds".
Based on his understanding of his father, the father would not care about his three wives and four concubines. He also said that he was referring to what kind of cousin, but it was actually another meaning, and this meaning was inconvenient for him in the letter. Speak clearly.
Yu Wang Mansion.
Gu Zezhi stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Before the people from the Prince Yu’s Mansion arrived in the capital, the father had already left the capital and went back to Western Xinjiang. Cousin girl, then, here comes the problem.
Who is so idle and bored that he talks to the cousin girl?
The answer is obvious, Gu Chenzhi.
Gu Zezhi looked at Qin Jiu again, remembering what she said last time.
The purpose of the people from Prince Yu's Mansion to come to the capital this time is certainly not simple.
In other words, did Gu Chenzhi really hook up with Prince Yu's Mansion five years ago?
Seeing Gu Zezhi looking at him, Qin Jiao blinked, always feeling that his eyes seemed to be full of meaning, and that what he was thinking about was related to him...
What did she do?
Qin Jiu racked his brains for a while, his eyes lit up, and he touched his palm: "Almost forgot!"
She took off the purse on her waist, took out a finger-wide purple hairband from the purse, shook it, and asked for credit: "I embroidered it, right?"
She looked at his pupils shining brightly.
The long hairband was embroidered with honeysuckle patterns with silver thread, and when the sun shone, the hairband shimmered brightly.
Gu Zezhi's response was that he raised his hand and took off the silver hair crown on his head. The ink hair he had originally combed fell down like a waterfall, draped over his shoulders and behind his back, making him seem a little more lazy in an instant. Leisurely.
What he meant was obvious.
"I'll comb your hair." Qin Jiu immediately got up from the chair eagerly.
Xiao Si was very winked, and immediately fetched the wooden comb and diamond mirror.
Qin Jiu happily took a wooden comb and combed his hair. His hair was black, thick and thick, which was very different from hers.
I heard that people with black and thick hair are tough, strong and decisive. Gu Zezhi is like this, but he always looks gentle and deceives people.
He is such a bad thing!
Qin Jiu curled his lips and smiled, his hand combing his hair was a little strange, and the little servant who looked at him was frightened, for fear that she would hurt his master's scalp.
Qin Jiu originally planned to comb his hair bun, but she soon realized that she had clumsy hands, and she knew how to change her hair into the simplest ponytail.
In the end, he tied him a beautiful bow.
well! She smiled with satisfaction.
The young man held the Linghua mirror to make Gu Zezhi look at him with a subtle expression.
Since the master was fifteen years old, Xiao Si had never seen her master comb such a "vibrant" hair style, and couldn't help feeling that the master really took Miss Qin San.
Qin Zhuo didn't think there was anything wrong. When she first saw Gu Ze, he tied his hair around his head so casually, with a bit of willfulness and randomness.
Qin Jiao also looked at Gu Zezhi in the flower prism. From her perspective, his eyelashes were long and curled, as beautiful as a comb. The eyelashes occasionally quivered slightly, as if gently. It seemed to her heart.
She couldn't help but smile, put one hand on his left shoulder, and pulled a strand of his hair to her chest with the other.
"good looking!"
She asked and answered with a smile.
I don't know whether it's boasting about hair bands or people.
Obviously he was just combing his hair, but Qin Jiu had a very subtle feeling, sweet in his heart, as if...
As if he belonged to her.
"I also think it looks good." Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiao looked at each other in the mirror, smiling.
There was a trace of lingering in the air.
Xiao Si suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and did not pay attention to Du Ruo in the corner staring at him, staring at him, staring at him.
Don't wince guys, don't he know how to avoid it when the masters speak selfishly? !
At this moment, there was a mess of footsteps outside, and another small servant hurriedly walked in, and came in panting and said: "Master, madam is about to reach ten miles outside the city."
Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu looked at each other, and then Gu Zezhi got up from the chairs and said, "Let's go."
The reason why Qin Jiu came to Xiao Mansion today was because he heard that Mrs. Xiao was coming back, and came to pick up people with Gu Zezhi.
The two rode their horses out together, and shortly after they left the city, they collided with Madam Xiao's carriage and horses who were coming here.
After a short stay, Qin Jiu got into Mrs. Xiao's carriage, and then the group of carriages continued toward the city.
"Zezhi, why didn't you tell me in advance that Xiao Jiu is also coming." Madam Xiao said in an agitated tone.
Gu Zezhi smiled and said nothing. His mother is not much better. He only sent someone to tell him yesterday that she was back. He thought she would stay in Jiangnan until the end of the year.
The carriage moved slowly.
Although the journey from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing traveled thousands of miles away, Mrs. Xiao looked in good spirits, and when she talked about Jiangnan, she was excited and talked:
"I haven't been back to Jiangnan for more than 30 years. The changes there are really big. If it weren't for your uncles and aunts to pick me up, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know the road."
"I went back this time and did a lot of paintings. These few days, I have to frame them well."
"Zezhi, Xiao Jiu, next time you have time, you also go to Jiangnan for a walk."
"..."
Seeing that Mrs. Xiao has a lot of nostalgia for Jiangnan, Gu Zezhi couldn't help but said: "Mother, why don't you stay in Jiangnan for a while?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at her son with weird eyes, and she felt that her son had more eyes than anyone else on weekdays, how could he be stupid when it was critical! He also didn't want to think, if she doesn't come back, who will marry him? He still wants to marry a wife this year! !
