Mr. Gu originally didn't want to talk about what happened today, but he had to say it.
The queen sent someone to come to the palace, firstly to be concerned about the princess's injury, and secondly to talk about the succession.
Although this matter was not mentioned at the court meeting, the queen meant that the courtiers should prepare a petition in private. It would be best if the crown prince's succession to the throne should be decided at the same time as the adoption of the prince of Jin'an County as the prince.
Certainly.
In fact, it would be best if it were decided directly at the court meeting, but the prince was focused on Cheng Jiaoniang, so this matter had to be put aside for now.
I have been back for half a day, and I have been watching over Cheng Jiaoniang, including all the staff and people sent by the minister's family.
It's almost the first night after the palace change. There are a lot of things that need to be arranged, and we can't put them off any longer.
No one else dared to say these words, only he could.
"What's going on today?" Prince Jin'an said calmly.
Mr. Gu looked up at him.
"It happened overnight that a county prince became a prince, a prince, and the next emperor," he said.
This is what happens today.
Not everyone can think of reaching the top of the world in one step.
Although many people are saying that Prince Jin'an is thinking about it and that he has evil intentions, but as people close to Prince Jin'an, they know very clearly that Prince Jin'an is not thinking about it.
But the King of Jin'an County didn't think about it, which doesn't mean that they didn't think about it either, especially when they suddenly became qualified and had the opportunity.
After King Ping was suddenly struck to death by lightning, things that once seemed out of reach and treacherous were suddenly no longer so illusory, and the adoption of the clan as a prince was revealed to the world.
Since they are all clans, it is natural that the clan of King Jin'an can also do it. Not only that, but it should be said that it should be possible.
That thought was like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain. He couldn't suppress it. Not only himself, but all these followers also had the thought. Maybe even they themselves refused to believe it. Maybe they were so determined to crowd around without caring about themselves.
For this.
But I just thought about it, but I didn't actually do it because I didn't even have the chance to do it.
So why now, even though nothing has been done, this idea has become a fact?
No, it’s not just about doing everything. Think about it, there are a lot of things that happened and pushed us to achieve what we are today today.
If they had not left the capital, they would have definitely been trapped in the prince's palace, and there would be no way they could lead troops to break through the city gate and enter the palace.
If he had accepted the Empress Dowager's edict and returned to Beijing, he would not have been here today. Maybe it was not Chen Shao and Gao Lingbo who committed suicide in the palace at this time, but the King of Jin'an County.
If we had not accepted the imperial edict and set out to leave Qingyuan Station, we would not be here today, because we would not be able to come back in time to lead the troops into the city at night. It would be absolutely impossible to lead the troops into the city again during the day.
There were people waiting at the city gate, a garrison waiting outside the city, and important ministers waiting in front of the palace gate.
Everything was so smooth and just right, and the coincidence was incredible.
To put it this way, it’s not just about this thing, it’s about the past.
For example, King Ping was struck to death by lightning. Although there was a demonstration, as the people said, when it rained heavily, there were many people standing in the rain, so why was he struck alone?
Going further, His Highness proposed to Mrs. Cheng and was allowed to marry her. Why did His Highness the Prince allow it? There were many people who had discussed marriage with her before the Prince.
She can know the eclipse of the sun and the moon precisely because of natural disasters. Gao Lingbo was driven out of the capital. It was Chen Shao who drove Gao Lingbo out of the capital. And the reason why Chen Shao is today is because she saved his father and saved Chen Shaoding from worries.
, only then can we have the confrontation with Gao Lingbo in the court today.
The magical bow weapon she could make made Fan Jianglin the arm-stretching bow, Li Mao, the musket that defeated the bandits on the road that day, and the stone cannon that broke down the palace gate today.
She could perform witchcraft to bring people back to life, but she did not save the emperor or even the prince. She had already entered the palace that night, so why did the prince still die?
All kinds of seemingly unrelated things have converged and condensed into what is happening today. Looking back on all the things in the past, if any one of them had not happened, what happened today would have gone awry.
"What is happening today, has your Highness ever thought about whether Madam has put a lot of effort into this?" Mr. Gu said looking at the Prince of Jin'an County.
Prince Jin'an turned to him with a solemn expression.
"Whatever she does, she spares no effort and goes all out." He said, "Of course she will spare no effort to save Liu Lang."
Actually avoiding his words, Mr. Gu lowered his eyes and responded.
"Then Your Highness must cherish the princess's hard work and not abandon yourself." He also avoided the words of Prince Jin'an, but continued, "The adoption matter cannot be delayed any longer. It must be settled quickly, and the clans in various places must
It’s almost here, otherwise I’m afraid the prince’s funeral will not be held with peace of mind.”
"My subordinates think that His Highness will not and does not want the Princess or the Crown Prince to feel uneasy."
There was a moment of silence between the two, their breaths stagnant.
Prince Jin'an didn't say anything anymore and stepped outside, breaking the stagnation.
"What are you going to say?" Eunuch Jing on the side stepped forward, grabbed Mr. Gu's eyebrows and whispered, "She hides and hesitates. The princess is like this now."
"I just want to say that Her Royal Highness is like this, and Her Highness should not hide away." Mr. Gu said in a low voice, "Let Your Highness understand the credit for the many things the Princess has done, and understand Her Royal Highness's hard work. Don't let it go to waste.
"
Eunuch Jing looked at him.
"Are you saying that the princess was responsible for what happened today?" He whispered.
The fact that His Highness can become a prince today and ascend the throne as an emperor in the future is something that the Princess has long thought about and worked hard for?
You can't just say this casually, it's really happened...
"You're crazy!" he said in a low voice, "What are you thinking about!"
"Random thoughts?" Mr. Gu lowered his voice and said, "You should think carefully about all the things that have happened all this time before you say whether you are just having wild thoughts."
He looked back at the house where Cheng Jiaoniang was.
"Wizhu, Wuzhu, I have only heard of it, never seen it. It turns out that there really is such a magical technique in the world."
He said slowly.
"It turns out that she is really a disciple of the gods."
My eyes lit up when I said this.
Therefore, Your Highness is the True Dragon Emperor, so gods will help you, so everything happening today is destiny.
No, that's not right, Wu Zhu is not a god, it can only be said to be a mysterious technique. This kind of technique can only be hidden in dark places and can never be revealed to others.
That’s why this woman’s work of bringing back the dead, treating illnesses, and saving lives was never seen by anyone, so she had to pay thousands of dollars for her life, so...
His face became more and more ugly, and his breathing became more and more rapid, until he was hit hard on the shoulder by a hand, interrupting his reverie.
"You say you are thinking wildly and you still don't admit it." Eunuch Jing said angrily, "Mr. Li said, this is nothing strange. Witches are their ancestors as doctors. It's just like making medicine from child's urine. It's just a kind of witchcraft blessing."
Mr. Gu sneered.
"I was just thinking wildly, or at least I was thinking about it. Don't you even dare to think about it?" He said, "Why don't you dare to think about it?"
"Why don't I dare to think about it?" Eunuch Jing glared, "What is there to think about?"
"There are so many things to think about, it just depends on whether you want to think about it or not." Mr. Gu said, exhaling heavily, "Besides, this is not a bad thing. It is really the best thing for Her Royal Highness to take such trouble for Your Highness.
"
I have long felt a little strange. Ever since I suddenly left the capital, I have felt that things happened to be strange. It turns out that everything is carefully planned.
Until now, the overall situation has been decided overnight, which is like a dream.
As the saying goes, clouds and rains come and go, that's it.
"I admire Her Highness the Princess with all my heart, and I dare not be disrespectful." Mr. Gu said again, while rushing to the house behind him, he bowed and saluted, then twirled his beard and left.
Eunuch Jing stood there and couldn't help but look back at the house.
A good thing? It depends on who it is for.
His honey, my arsenic.
I really don’t dare or don’t want to think about what’s happening today.
But it exists, and it is full of doubts. If you don’t think about it now, it doesn’t mean you won’t think about it tomorrow. If you don’t think about it tomorrow, you will think about it tomorrow. As long as you think about it, you will think about it more and more, and think about it more and more...
Zhou Hao withdrew his hand from the window, lowered his gaze and turned around. The bed curtain was half open, and the woman on it could be seen sleeping with her eyes closed.
There was brown concoction oozing out from the thin clothes.
They were all tentatively asking him how this woman treated his injuries. He didn't know, but looking at her appearance, he could imagine it.
Broken hair, cut hands, and wounds all over his body.
Wu Zhu...
He had also heard that those witches required sacrifices, and they had to give something in exchange for anything they asked for.
So she sacrificed herself and exchanged her life for him?
Zhou Feng's hands clenched and made a creaking sound.
Damn! Damn! Who wants you to change! Who wants you to change!
"My lady, my lady."
Banqin and Suxin cried outside the door.
The people who were left behind in Qingyuanyi finally returned to the city.
Zhou Heng lowered his head and turned around and raised his hands to wipe away his tears. Then he turned around and looked at the two maids who stumbled in. They were kneeling on the ground crying and could not get up. There was a man's whimpering outside the door. He looked through the window and saw that it was Manager Cao.
Others knelt in the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, if you were joking with each other one moment, you might regret it the next moment.
Life is so unpredictable.
When the night was deep, there was a sound of footsteps, and Prince Jin'an walked in. Zhou Hui, who was sitting beside the couch, looked up with some vigilance. Banqin and Suxin stood up and saluted.
"I'm done." Prince Jin'an said, "Go and have a rest."
Zhou Sheng shook his head.
"I have to watch over her until she wakes up," he said.
Ban Qin and Su Xin couldn't help but glance at Zhou Hui.
They already knew the general outline of the matter and understood Zhou Hui's mood at this time, but after all, the Prince of Jin'an County and Cheng Jiaoniang were husband and wife...
After all, we are both foreign men. Isn’t it inappropriate to stay with her husband day and night?
Prince Jin'an looked at Zhou Hui, and Zhou Hui looked at him without flinching.
There was silence in the room.
"Okay." Prince Jin'an said, looking away. (To be continued)
