Vol 2 Chapter 1092: From disappointment to despair

"Xiaguan sends the prince out!"
Gu Teng followed King Qi.
Wang Qi said with an "um" and walked directly towards the gate.
As he approached the gate, King Qi suddenly stopped, playing with his fingers in his hand, looking up at the horizon.
"What is the command of the prince?" Gu Teng asked cautiously.
King Qi thought carefully and said: "This king looked at his grandfather's serious illness, so he still needs to rest."
"What the prince said is! The imperial physician also said that my father needs to rest."
King Qi nodded, "My king bids farewell, uncle stops."
Gu Teng insisted on sending His Highness King Qi out of the gate.
He didn't turn around until the carriage disappeared around the corner.
Gu Zhili stopped making noise for the time being, and the yard also quieted down.
Seeing Gu Hun returning, both brothers Gu Hun and Gu Hun looked at him.
"What does the prince have to explain?" Gu Gong asked, opening his mouth.
Everyone is very curious.
Gu Teng was very honest and said, "The prince cares about his father's body very much, saying that he wants to rest."
"Oh! I just can't go out." Gu Gong laughed, quite happy, "The old man regretted in front of King Qi, but just to go out. In the end, the king directly denied him. As expected, he is a royal son, yes. decision."
Gu Yan frowned, "You eavesdropped on the conversation between father and prince?"
Pooh!
Gu Gong rolled his eyes and said, "I heard it pleasantly, not an eavesdropping. Besides, my ears are more sensitive than ordinary people. They speak without suppressing their voices, but they reach my ears. Can I pretend to know this? Besides, I didn’t hide it from you."
Pei Man asked aloud: "The old man really wants to go out?"
Gu Gong laughed, "Listening to his begging tone, I'm afraid I'm thinking about it all in my dreams."
Pei Man said "Oh", "My uncle wrote back last time and reminded him that he must respect the Queen's wife's opinions on matters related to him."
Gu Gong looked at Pei Man with a calm smile.
She was clearly beating on Gu Teng, reminding Gu Teng not to be soft-hearted and not to let Gu Zhili out of the gate of the mansion.
Gu Ting frowned, feeling very upset.
He asked Gu Gong, "What else did you hear?"
Gu Gong didn't hide it either, "The prince asked the old man whether he hated the queen empress."
"Ah!" Hu screamed, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Gu Teng did not expect King Qi to ask so directly, he was very nervous, "How did my father answer?"
Gu Gong raised his eyebrows, "The old man is a wise man, so he naturally answered not to hate him in front of King Qi."
Gu Teng and Hu both let out a sigh of relief.
They have taken care of Gu Zhili for many years, and they know Gu Zhili's temper too well.
That is a master who cannot be wronged.
Still a master who can drive people around him crazy.
If it had not been ordered by the Queen Empress, Gu Zhili would not be allowed to step out of the gate of the mansion, Gu Zhili would have ran out for a long time.
Anyway, Gu Teng and Hu's couple can't control Gu Zhili most of the time.
It wasn't until Gu Zhili's health deteriorated, that he couldn't walk or run, and the couple's life was better.
So when the king of Qi asked Gu Zhili whether he hated the queen, the couple would be so nervous. For fear that Gu Zhili blurted out a "hate".
Gu Wei frowned and said, "Father is unwell, and the imperial doctor told him to rest. You must arrange for the servants you are waiting for. Don't neglect."
He turned his head and told Hu to arrange for a reliable person to take care of Gu Zhili to avoid accidents.
Hu nodded and agreed.
Gu Gong asked directly, "Looking at the situation of the old man, he will definitely not die for a while. What are you calling us back for?"
Gu Yan was very angry, "Father is very ill. As the sons of man, shouldn't you come back to visit? You are wronged, shouldn't I be wronged in my heart? Five brothers, two of them all made excuses not to go home and provide for their father. All of the burdens fall on me alone. Do I owe you?"
No one thought that Gu Teng would have a sudden attack.
Gu Hui was a little confused, "Then, then I will move back to live for a few days."
Gu Teng snorted, noncommittal.
He stared at Gu Gong, waiting for Gu Gong to express his attitude.
Gu Gong said, "There's still something to do in the college, I have to hurry back. Don't get angry, I will come back and stay for one night every five days from now on. That's it."
Gu Teng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that coming back for one night was a good start.
He couldn't ask Gu Gong too much, and he was afraid that Gu Gong suddenly broke out, the scene was too scary.
He still remembers the scene where Gu Gong smashed all the doors and windows with an axe. Until now, I still have lingering fears.
Pei Man came forward and said: "Uncle what is going on there, the sky is high and the road is far away, I don't know. The war in the south is not over yet, I don't know if he can come back early. This matter still has to be decided by the queen."
Gu Teng sighed, "You have all seen the old man's situation, maybe it will be... after all, I wrote to both the eldest brother and the second brother. I hope they can return to Beijing soon."
Pei Man said: "Then get ready early, so as not to be in a hurry. If there is anything I can do, just speak up."
"I don't care about family affairs." Gu Zheng directly rejected Pei Man.
Pei Man didn't force it, she just showed an attitude. With an attitude, others will not be able to accuse her of not doing enough in the future.
...
Time goes by day by day.
Gu Zhili looked forward to it, looked at it, and if there was a slight movement, he would ask: "Is someone from the palace?"
"Master, no one is here in the palace."
Gu Zhili looked disappointed and desperate.
He struggled, and he roared, "Why is there no one in the palace? King Qi promised the old man and would truthfully convey the old man's regret. The old man regretted it, regretted it, and the empress should have said a little bit that the palace should have sent someone over. Did you send the people away from the palace? Did you hide the old man?"
"Master, no one in the palace has been to the mansion. You have misunderstood!" Gu Quan swore.
Gu Zhili didn't believe it, "It must be you doing something with the old man on your back. Otherwise, it's impossible for no one to come over in the palace. Go and call Gu Yu to the old man."
"Enjoy the master, the third master is working as a errand today and will not be able to come back until dark."
Gu Zhili gritted his teeth, "Send someone to the yamen to invite him back, saying that the old man has important things to him."
The steward Gu Quan looked embarrassed, "The third master has been back late recently. It is said that the yamen is very busy. Why don't you invite the fifth master over?"
Gu Zhili was surprised, "The fifth child is at home?"
The butler nodded repeatedly, "Master Fifth came back last night, and he will leave the house and return to the Military Academy before dark."
Gu Zhili couldn't take care of this meeting either, "Go, call the old fifth. The old man wants to ask him what his brothers are up to. Is he deliberately trying to kill the old man."
The butler Gu Quan responded and sent the young man to invite the fifth master Gu Yu.
He feels a little disturbed, the fifth master is not a good stubborn, so don't make trouble for a while.
Soon, Gu Gong came to the bedroom to see Gu Zhili.
The weather got hot, and there was an unspeakable smell in the bedroom.
Although the young man cleans Gu Zhili's body every day, there is still an old man's smell lingering on the tip of his nose, which makes his body uncomfortable.
"The father asked his son to come over, is there something important?" Gu Gong asked politely.
Gu Zhili ordered Gu Quan to lift him up and sat on the bed.
He sternly, regardless of trembling hands, pointed to Gu Gong, "Tell the old man honestly, did someone come in the palace and was sent away by you again?"
Gu Gong raised his eyebrows, "Who does father listen to nonsense?"
His gaze swept over Gu's body.
Gu Quan trembled and waved his hands again and again, indicating that he hadn't said anything.
"What are you doing with Guquan? It has nothing to do with him. The old man asked you if anyone came from the palace?"
Gu Gong looked at the sky, secretly yawned, and then replied in a loud voice, "No!"
"Nothing?" Gu Zhili asked nervously.
Gu Gong shouted, "After King Qi left, no one has been in the palace."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Gu Zhili shook his head again and again, "It must be you all to coax the old man. The queen empress learned of the old man's mind, it is impossible not to send someone over."
Gu Yu sneered, "You killed your original wife, the birth mother of the Empress Empress. Do you think the Empress Empress will let you go because you regret it? Old man, don't be naive, okay?"
"You, you, you, what did you say?"
Gu Zhili fingered chicken feet crazy, shivering all the time, and pointed at Gu Gong.
Gu Gong's attitude is very casual, like a friend chatting, "I said you killed the Queen's mother, so don't expect the Queen's mother to let you go."
"Nonsense!"
Gu Zhili picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it towards Gu Gong's face door.
boom!
Less than half of the journey, the tea bowl fell to the ground.
Gu Zhili's hands are no longer good, and he can't control his strength. It's not accidental to lose sight of his head.
Gu Gong didn't blink his eyes from beginning to end.
"If there is nothing else, I will go out first. As for you, you can recover from your illness, drink less, and try to live for a few more years. Don't be angry, be careful to anger yourself."
"Nizi! The old man is going to the government to sue you. You bastard, just because you are disabled, the Gu family's face has been lost to you. Because you are disabled, no woman is willing to marry you until now. You are a waste!"
Gu Zhili said nothing.
The butler Gu Quan paled with fright, watching Gu Gong's movements nervously.
Gu Gong, who had already stood up and was about to leave, stopped and looked back at Gu Zhili.
"I'm disabled, you feel ashamed, don't you?"
"Don't be ashamed, do you have to be proud of you? Absolutely absurd! You are idiots. If you don't listen to the old man, you have to go to the army. Now it's okay, there is no hand. The dignified Gu clan, there is a Handicapped, it's shameless to say it out!"
"Since you think I'm embarrassing you, well, when you die someday, I will come back and burn you paper."
After speaking, Gu Gong left.
There was no anger, no smashing things, no scolding, and he walked very peacefully.
The steward Gu Quan patted his thigh, "Sorry! Father, the fifth master said he won't come back, then he really won't come back. Or persuade him."
"Fart! Ask the old man to persuade him, what are you kidding about. He doesn't come back, the old man is not uncommon."
Hey……
Gu Quan sighed.
Gu Zhili cursed and cursed until Gu Zhen returned from the office.
