The four words of good rest have many meanings, but in the next few days, Guo Shu thoroughly understood what it means to have a good rest.

Bigger and better rooms, more people waiting, all smiling and whispering. The Yun family also came in to see her once, and saw that she was learning rules and etiquette with an old Shang Gong in a palace, and encouraged her, and left Guo Shu's personal maid - Jiaolan.

Jiaolan's character is the most calm and meticulous of Guo Shu's four personal maids, and it is also the most decisive one. Now the maid next to Guo Shu is dead, walking, and there is another one who has been completely hit by the death of his sister and is already looking for another way out - there is only such a lone seedling left. Maybe other people think that the battle loss rate of this fat difference is too high, and the Qian family originally wanted to give it to a few more people, but no one was willing to come, and Guo Shu didn't like to be served, so he simply left one person to serve closely.

Jiao Lan is also very satisfied, after all, no one else has to use it in front of the master. Anyway, her master's eight characters are so hard, ordinary people can't afford it, as long as she serves her well, the future is naturally bright, and she even cheered up the spirit of serving.

Three days passed leisurely, and there was no change in the palace maids and palace attendants, but even Jiao Lan saw that something was wrong.

"Miss, how do I feel......" Jiao Lan finally couldn't help it, and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

Guo Shu put down an old military book in his hand that he didn't know what year it was, "I don't know if I can get out of the palace, but don't worry, even if I don't have a chance to go out, I will keep you safe." ”

Jiao Lan trembled, her voice trembled a little, "Miss, you~ you mean......" Jiao Lan panicked all of a sudden, and tried her best to calm down, as if she had made a lot of determination, "Miss, if you want to die, it has to be Jiao Lan who dies in front of Miss, no Miss has anything to do, but I have nothing to do, Miss~"

Guo Shu rubbed his eyebrows, "Okay, I scared you seriously, your young lady and I are blessed with a great life, and it will be fine." Guo Shu threw a wink, wanting to ease the atmosphere, but Jiao Lan was so preoccupied that she didn't have that mind at all, Guo Shu saw that no one echoed her joke at all, and she felt a little bored, so she simply didn't speak.

A father-in-law who looked like a chief secretary walked in, followed by two people with two plates in their hands, one of which faintly revealed the corner of the white cloth.

Jiao Lan, who had just been frightened by Guo Shu, turned pale all of a sudden. I'm familiar with this picture. In the TV series, that kind of pathetic supporting role, when he was given death, this is how it feels, the legendary three-foot white silk.

Xiao Hengyan led a group of people and slowly approached the city wall of Jinling, even if he was now like an arrow, he tried his best to suppress it. He was sent on a disaster relief mission, apparently as a great job to build fame for himself. Because of the greetings from above, things went very smoothly. Originally, he could come back before the Midyear Festival, but he didn't expect it to rain heavily for four days before leaving, and Heti, who was already unreliable, was damaged because of the heavy rain, so he stayed for a few more days to strengthen Heti. Fortunately, the people were moved out in advance, and it didn't take much effort to arrive. But on the way back, when the inn twenty miles away was about to rest and recuperate and enter the city tomorrow, an angel suddenly came, saying that he wanted to wash the dust and hold a banquet for everyone.

This is a very abnormal thing, even if it is to receive the wind and wash the dust, and reward the meritorious deeds, you have to wait until you return to the city, after Xiao Hengyan completely delivered the errand, but not only did the fold not be handed over, but after the will was issued, the angel did not leave at all. If the person who gave the decree does not leave, the others will not dare to go. When Xiao Hengyan asked, it was a verbal message, and he was ordered to wait here and block it back. The post house is already small, so many people are crowded, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of rumors, and the most common thing is that they have done something wrong, so His Majesty will deal with them. It's a pity that they wanted to break their brains, and they didn't think about what happened.

Xiao Hengyan discussed with Guo Cai for several days but did not come up with a result, until he received the news, Xiao Hengyan changed into a royal robe, hung a sachet sent by Guo Shu on his waist, and rode forward. Guo Cai in the team also rode a tall horse, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Near the city gate, there were several officials of the Ministry of Rites standing at the gate, one of which included the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Holding a scroll of holy decrees in his hand. Seeing the holy decree, everyone dismounted and walked, Xiao Hengyan walked in the front, and in his heart, he had already vaguely guessed.

"The emperor's edict said, there is the emperor's sixth son, Xiao Hengyan, who is sensitive, brave, and sincere...... Inherit the order of heaven, register as the crown prince, and admire this. ”

Xiao Hengyan's eyes jumped, and he tried his best to appear calm, "The son of the minister is the order, thank you father Emperor Longen." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose. All the people present knelt down, especially the officials who followed Xiao Hengyan to Qiantang, and their faces were even more happy, which means that they all showed their faces in front of the new prince, and the future will be bright.

"It is inconvenient for Weichen to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and he will come to the door to congratulate him another day, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go with his ministers to bathe and change clothes, and then enter the palace to thank him, and all the ministers are waiting in the palace. Zuo Shilang smiled. Not everyone has the opportunity to announce the decree, and the sooner he shows his face, the more beneficial it is, and he has worked a lot hard for this opportunity.

"Thank you, please lead the way. Xiao Hengyan completely calmed down from the huge surprise, after all, he had received an orthodox royal etiquette education, and after calming down, his mind turned.

The main hall that is usually used for the court meeting stood almost all the officials above the fourth rank in Beijing, including those who had not yet had time to hand over their posts and followed them to Qiantang, and they used the fastest speed to change into their official uniforms and stand there before Xiao Hengyan, one by one with a proud spring breeze.

Xiao Hengyan wore the clothes belonging to the prince, thanked him step by step, the father and son cared for each other, licking the calf deeply, and said that Xiao Hengyan went to the disaster relief as if he suffered a great suffering, and the ministers begged Emperor Yue to take care of his body, the father and son were affectionate, and the monarch and the ministers were harmonious. It's just a good show, Guo Shu, who was standing behind the screen early, thought viciously.

A white-gold formal county lord's palace robe fits perfectly, and it is rare to wear all kinds of jewels on his head, which looks graceful and luxurious. Of course, we must ignore Jiaolan, who has an extremely suppressed voice in her mouth, and the expressionless dead father-in-law standing behind her.

Guo Shu watched the time pass little by little, and Guo Shu yawned again and again because of the complicated etiquette. Just after Guo Shu finished the twentieth yawn, everything was finally over.

Of course, yawning is a very rude time, but Guo Shu can't go. As soon as the dead father-in-law saw that Guo Shu wanted to leave, he would lead someone to block Guo Shu's way, and Guo Shu couldn't lose his temper at such a time, so he had to endure the whole process.

After reading the whole process, Xiao Hengyan was going to enter the harem to greet the queen, but he couldn't greet Concubine Xian. The ancestral system of the Yue Dynasty, after canonizing the crown prince, the prince must go to the queen to say goodbye, unless there is no queen to say goodbye to his mother. After greeting the queen, he had to go to the palace to wait for the canonization ceremony before he could say hello to his mother.

There is only one major event in today's court meeting, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Yue bypassed the screen, glanced at Guo Shu, shook his crown and walked over lightly, only two fluttering words floated into Guo Shu's ears: "Come here." ”

In the side hall, Fan Lanzhi, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, was carrying a thick stack of files in his hand. Guo Shu's eyelids jumped, and he felt that the body on his body was more like a treasure clothes.

"Let's talk about it first. Emperor Yue had already changed into a regular suit, his hands were half-propped, his eyes were narrowed, his hands were together, and his momentum was coming.

"According to the confession of the little servants around King Rui, when King Rui exterminated the Black Witch Clan three years ago, he deliberately let go of a group of people, and secretly raised them, and sent them to do things for himself......"

Emperor Yue still squinted, "What are the specific things, which people?"

Fan Lanzhi paused for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "For example, to the abolished prince, His Royal Highness the prince, and ...... His Majesty poisoned, from the old confession of the abolished prince and the abolished king of Chu can be corroborated, and also found a total of three thousand taels of silver from several of them, and then according to the testimony of the small words of the Changchun Palace, it was confirmed that the King Rui secretly colluded, and borrowed the hand of the virtuous concubine Niangniang to send out the foxtail velvet to hook the poison on the body of the waste prince, so that the abolished prince was stupid and crazy.

The minister then interrogated the Changchun Palace, in addition to the big palace maid Qiu Feng beside the mother who refused to admit it, the great eunuch Wu Hai confessed to this, and also took the initiative to confess that the virtuous concubine Niangniang bribed the palace people to do tricks and feet in her tea every time the lady of Chu entered the palace, which led to the fact that the lady of Chu died of depression, and the matter of attempting to murder the county lord of Anzhen ten years ago. ”

By the way, Mrs. Chu was posthumously sealed after Xu's death.

Guo Shu stood aside and could see clearly, Fan Lanzhi's hands were shaking. A moment ago, he was still meeting the new prince, and when he turned his head to impeach the new prince's mother in the back, there was also the future concubine and one of the victims of the new prince standing next to him.

"Where did that rebel get all this dirty stuff. Emperor Yue pressed his throat and held back these words.

"Most of them are leftovers from the Dark Witch Clan, and some of them are bought from outside pharmacies, with special methods, according to their accounts, the antidote to these things has been lost when they were exterminated, and they don't have an antidote, but they don't know why...... The poison on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been cured. ”

God, he Fan Lanzhi didn't do anything bad, why did he put these things on the table. Originally, it was a good opportunity to interrogate the rebels, and it was not difficult to do a good job of being ranked among the top ministers, but the deeper and deeper he dug, the matter became bigger and bigger, and now he can only bless God that his family can escape the catastrophe, and he must not be involved again.

Guo Shu sighed, what had been suppressed for several months was finally revealed to the world at this time. Guo Shu is indeed the victim, but at the same time, Guo Shu is also the biggest supporter behind the Black Witch Clan. The handful of people who escaped were able to reconnect with King Rui under the cover of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and almost all the things of the Black Witch Clan were also provided by the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Such a secret thing, logically speaking, no one knows, and the King of Chu will be scared to the point of despair is completely because of the friendly reminder of Qianbao Pavilion. In short, Guo Shu handed the knife behind his back and became a victim again. But as for whether that handful of people are really Dark Witch Clan, who cares?

"Come on," Emperor Yue pushed the boat down the river as if he had made up his mind, and Chen Long, the commander of the forbidden army on the side, stepped forward, "Order, the forbidden army will cooperate with the criminal department to interrogate, abolish King Rui as a concubine, and the female dependents will be filled into the sect division, and the male Ding clan will be removed from the list and exiled to Lingnan, all those involved will be found out and punished by the three clans, and they will not be tolerated, as for the rebel, I ...... Never want to see him again. ”

"Yes. ”

Fan Lanzhi and Chen Long retreated, and before Fan Lanzhi left, he arched his hand to Guo Shu to say hello, Guo Shu also nodded in response, and Fan Lanzhi relieved a little pressure.

Emperor Yue never mentioned the matter of Changchun Palace, but only dealt with King Rui. Either Emperor Yue wants to give the new prince a face and not mention it, and he will not blame the past, or he will secretly dispose of it with the whole royal face. But if you want to keep it silent, I'm afraid that all kinds of things about Changchun Palace will not appear in the file, but if you want to deal with it, now is definitely not a good time.

"Boy, come here. Emperor Yue opened his eyes, and his eyes were cloudy.

Guo Shu stepped forward, Emperor Yue stretched out his hand, and said in a strange voice that was almost kind: "You diagnose my pulse, to tell the truth, there are no outsiders here, just don't be perfunctory like a doctor." ”

"The courtiers obeyed. ”

As soon as his hand touched the pulse, Guo Shu's melancholy in his heart was even heavier. After a few deliberations in his heart, Emperor Yue spoke again, as if he hadn't found someone to talk to for a long time.

"I know that the poison on Hengyan's child was solved by you, and I thank you a lot, but it's a pity that I was too upright in this life to be unaware of it, which led to such a disaster today. It's a pity that after decades of foundation, the court is clear, and the people live in peace, I can't let a vicious and calculating person ruin this great country. I want to make a vow in front of your master back then, and I am willing to use this life to return to a clear and peaceful world. For this oath, I have never slackened off, which is why I have today's stability and prosperity, and the strength of the army......"

"This is Your Majesty, and it is a blessing for the people of Dayue. Guo Shu broke out in a cold sweat and interrupted him.

Damn, she's a woman, although she's from Tinghua Mountain, she's also a woman. Your merits and ambitions as an emperor have the next emperor, there are historians, and there are descendants to evaluate you, what does it matter to me, the more you know, the faster you will die, do you want to finish talking and then let me accompany you to the imperial mausoleum!

"It's a pity that I can't see the day when everyone in the world will live and work in peace, if you do, remember to tell me. You appeared in the main hall covered in blood that day, but you could still argue for yourself clearly, clear and transparent, and at that time I was thinking, can you be my daughter-in-law?"

Where did I argue, which eye of yours saw me refute, I just said "not me" and fainted, which eye of yours saw the clarity and transparency. You just came back and you want to marry me off, oh no, marry me to your family...... Eh, there seems to be something wrong with the logic?

"Hengyan, this kid is fine, Xiao me, but I also hope that you can mention him more, look at him more, the queen is not only the emperor's wife, but also the mother of the country, you may understand?"

“......”

The courtiers understood. ”

Emperor Yue seemed to be relieved when he heard this, and Liu Zhong came out of the shadows, holding a plate in his hand, in which was a strange-looking token, and a bright yellow holy decree.

"I gave it to you, and I hope you don't let me down. Emperor Yue's eyes became more and more gray.

"What is this?"

Emperor Yue never paid attention to Guo Shu, no matter how low he put his posture, the things engraved into the bones of the superior have never changed, "How long do I have left?"

Guo Shu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's three months in the shortest, and half a year in the most." "The poison has penetrated into the bones, and even if it is delayed, it can drag on for half a year at most. There has been a poison for nearly ten years, it is by no means an overnight achievement, the two poisons in Emperor Yue's body coexist, and they promote each other in synergy, and the progress is extremely fast, half a year is already the limit.

Emperor Yue seemed to know this ending early on, "I know, you can step down." After saying that, he closed his eyes tiredly.

It was a long time before Guo Shu remembered that it seemed to be the last time she had a separate conversation with Emperor Yue. After all, he still tolerated her with his greatest kindness.
