Old Master Gu was helped up by Master Gu Second and Third Master Gu and sat on the bedside. He said excitedly: "Old minister, I kowtow to Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live your Majesty!"
The new emperor gave him a kind hand: "You don't need to be polite, old Marquis. Now that you are seriously ill, you should take good care of your health. Leave the family affairs to the young people to worry about, so leave them to them."
This is a pun: he knew about the seizure of power in Gu Hou's mansion, but he didn't want to take care of it, and thought it would be good to leave it to Gu Yilan.
Gu Yilan manages Gu Hou's Mansion, and Gu Fenglin manages the Priest Palace. The two restrict and cooperate with each other. This is the ideal state he wants.
As for Mr. Gu, it's time to take a back seat. If you're smart, don't mention the things you shouldn't say again.
A trace of resentment flashed in Old Mrs. Gu's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty!"
The new emperor looked directly at him, his tone still very kind: "What are your orders, Mr. Marquis?"
This sentence "What are your orders?" already had a sonorous and murderous tone.
Mr. Gu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I am ashamed of myself. I will only obey your Majesty's instructions."
The new emperor then said with satisfaction: "I have just inherited the throne, and I still need the help of all my dear friends. I hope that you will be in harmony and safe. This is my wish."
If someone is disobedient and makes him unhappy, then he will not be happy even if he waits.
Mr. Gu shut his mouth tightly and said no more.
The new emperor then asked again: "Where is Gu Hou?"
This is the question for Mr. Gu.
Mrs. Gu took two steps forward and reported, "My wife has already ordered someone to pick up my husband. Please wait for a moment. He will be here soon."
But the new emperor said: "How can there be such a person visiting a sick person? Since he is sick, he should not move. Otherwise, wouldn't it be my fault? Where is he? It just so happens that I am also taking a walk."
Mrs. Gu quickly led the way.
A group of people kept their own thoughts and worked hard to accompany the new emperor inside, answering his questions from time to time.
When he arrived at the hanging flower gate, the new emperor looked up at the patterns on the hanging flower gate and remained silent for a long time.
Everyone did not dare to disturb each other and stood aside quietly.
The new emperor asked: "Is this what the ancestors of the Gu family left behind when they first established the palace?"
Mr. Gu Er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Exactly."
The new emperor nodded and continued walking inside.
Mr. Gu was placed in the East Crossing Courtyard and was helped and knelt at the door to pick him up.
He had a white cloth tied on his head for recovery. He was so thin that he was out of shape and not in good spirits. At first glance, he looked really ill.
The new emperor gave him a hand and said warmly: "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to take good care of your health and stop worrying about it?"
Mr. Gu choked with tears: "Your Majesty..."
The new emperor looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and said calmly: "Let's talk in the room."
The servants wanted to help Mr. Gu up, but he stubbornly looked up at Gu Fenglin.
Gu Fenglin stood with his arms folded and looked at him quietly.
Mu Yunhan thought for a while, then stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Dad, my wife will help you in."
Mr. Gu sighed, shook his head, and looked at Mrs. Gu expressionlessly: "Here, help me."
"Yes." Mrs. Gu was gentle and kind, and stepped forward to help him go inside.
Mr. Gu looked at her sinisterly, his eyes fixed on her.
Mrs. Gu looked as usual and walked steadily.
Mr. Gu suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, his smile was weird and terrifying.
The new emperor took his seat and looked at the eldest master, Gu Yilan and Gu Fenglin.
"I'm here today, firstly to visit the patient, and secondly because I have something to discuss with Marquis Gu."
