Chapter Eighty-Five: Whose Ears Is Sorrowful and Lonely?

The celebration on the first day of the new year was attended only by civil and military officials and some envoys from friendly countries invited by Lou Lanzhen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Dong, as the son of the chief physician of the palace (zhang), also received an edict from the palace.

Before the matter between Fencheng and Cui Dongtian was discussed, Xu Dong stayed here and did not return to Dongcheng.

When Yucheng brought the edict, Xu Dong was alone in a game of chess.

Yucheng saw Xu Dong's brows frowning slightly, very focused, he had always been vigilant, but he didn't notice that there was someone in the house.

In desperation, Yucheng had no choice but to cough softly, and Xu Dong turned his head to look at him when he heard the movement.

Xu Dong glanced at the edict in Yucheng's hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yucheng said: "Back to the hall master, the palace sent an edict, and the hall master attended the celebration on the first day of the first month of the first month. ”

Xu Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said lightly: "When the time comes, I will order someone to reply to the letter, and I will say that I am ill and it is inconvenient to enter the palace." ”

After explaining, Xu Dong's attention shifted to the chessboard.

Yucheng looked puzzled and a little puzzled.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask Xu Dong: "But the hall master, Master Cui, they are all going, ...... Don't you want to see who that Loulan princess is? After all, this princess is related to the overall situation we have laid out. ”

Xu Dong didn't look up and said: "Anyway, Princess Loulan will marry sooner or later, I don't like to enter the palace to participate in such a ceremony, Brother Dongtian, it is enough for them to go." Stand down. ”

Yucheng didn't say anything more: "The little one retires." ”

On the Dongcheng side, it was very unexpected that Gu Mo also received such an edict, but he was announced in the name of the king's righteous brother.

Such a grand and grand royal ceremony is only eligible for the important ministers of the court and the relatives of the emperor. Although the Gu Mansion is a big family, it is just a grass people, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the palace to participate in the celebration. So Loulan really had no choice but to let Gu Mo enter the palace in this way.

It was a eunuch in the palace who sent the edict, and after a room of people in the Gu Mansion knelt on the ground and listened to the eunuch read the edict, they all looked at Gu Mo with wide eyes.

Gu Mo just had a cold face when he met everyone's eyes, but he couldn't wait to punch Loulan Zhen with his own hands.

After the eunuch in the palace left, Gu Zhang immediately jumped up and couldn't wait to ask, "Second brother, are you ...... You, you, you are the righteous brother of His Royal Highness, when did this happen?!"

Gu Mo held his forehead and was speechless for a while.

Gu Zhang saw that he didn't answer, and he was anxious. He wanted to continue to interrogate Gu Mo, but Yang Chuhe stretched out his hand to stop him: "Fourth son, I'm afraid the focus is not on this now." ”

Gu Yan nodded solemnly and said, "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the King has no other intention to let the second brother enter the palace." What is Wanyan's identity, I'm afraid I will know soon. ”

Gu Zhang was stunned and didn't say anything when he heard this, and Yang Chuhe lowered his head and sighed silently.

At this juncture, Gu Mo didn't seem to have any reaction, and after a while, he changed the topic and said, "I sent someone to the yamen to inquire yesterday, and the eldest brother seems to be almost fine." ”

Gu Zhang and Gu Yan both opened their mouths in surprise, and then both of them were overjoyed: "Really?"

Gu Mo nodded lightly.

Gu Zhang grabbed Yang Chuhe's hand excitedly, and said a little incoherently: "How is it possible?" Judging from the behavior of the eldest brother, it is impossible to be fine, but ...... But...... Anyway, it would be great if Big Brother could be okay!"

Yang Chuhe nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Yan also had an uncontrollable smile on his face, and he looked at Gu Mo: "Second brother, what is going on?"

Gu Mo shook his head: "I don't know now, but I will naturally know when the time comes." ”

After speaking, he unconsciously looked in the direction of the palace, and at the same time asked silently in his heart: Wanyan, is it you?

After I finished asking, I thought that I was afraid that I would see her soon.

I don't know why, as soon as he faced this matter, Gu Mo's heart couldn't help but start trembling, and a nameless pain seemed to be dragging him into the abyss little by little.

=====================

Gu Wanyan sat in the Chenghuan Palace, holding a book in her hand, but she didn't have the heart to read it.

She flipped through the book in disgust, her eyes swept to the door.

After a long time, she finally saw Lanyue stepping into the front yard.

Gu Wanyan immediately stood up and walked towards Lanyue, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

Lanyue nodded: "Princess Cong, I asked clearly, Lord Xiao said that it had been dealt with." It will probably look like the day after tomorrow when the yamen will release Gu Gongzi, and at the same time, Liu Fengxian's arrest order has been prepared. ”

After Gu Wanyan listened, she felt that the breath she was holding in her chest was pleasantly spit out.

For the first time in days, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Wanyan patted Lan Yue's shoulder with a smile: "Okay, you can step back first." ”

Lan Yue was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes." ”

Gu Wanyan turned around and took two steps and sat down. She rested the elbow of one arm on the arm of the mahogany chair, one hand supporting her forehead, while the other hand pinched her fingers and counted the days. Slowly, the rare smile on her face gradually faded.

At that time, a palace maid brought a plate of pastries to Gu Wanyan, Gu Wanyan fell into her thoughts, and suddenly sighed heavily.

The palace maid knelt down without saying a word when she heard Gu Wanyan sigh, Gu Wanyan looked over silently and did not say a word.

========================

Three days later, Gu Ran was released.

The Gu people who received the notice from the yamen had been waiting outside the official prison for a long time.

Gu Ran himself was in a trance, he had been locked up for so many days, waiting for him to be sentenced, but today he was suddenly acquitted.

He followed the jailer out of the prison in a leisurely manner, and after not seeing the light for many days, he walked to the place where he was almost at the door, and saw the beams of sunlight coming in through the door, and he couldn't help but stop.

The jailer stood in the doorway and turned back impatiently and scolded him: "What are you doing? You don't want to leave, do you? If you don't want to go, go back!"

Gu Ran was stunned and timidly followed the jailer to continue walking.

As soon as he stepped out of the prison gate, he felt very uncomfortable with this sunny day, so he had to raise his hand to cover his eyes.

The jailer squinted at him, then turned away.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly, Gu Ran felt as if he had heard Gu Zhang's voice. He was stunned, and then his hands slowly fell.

With the dazzling sunlight, Gu Ran saw Gu Yan, Gu Zhang, and Gu Mo standing side by side not far away. For some reason, Gu Ran, who had been locked up in prison for so many days without saying a word, had red eyes at the moment.

Gu Ran felt shameless to face his brother and buried his head deeply. Gu Mo and the others slowly walked over to him.

Gu Zhang angrily punched Gu Ran on the chest: "Big brother, look at what you have done, you almost ruined your own future!"

As soon as the angry words were finished, Gu Zhang's tone couldn't be hard anymore, and he sighed: "It's okay if you're fine!"

Gu Ran's face was covered with stubble, his hair was also unkempt, and he looked embarrassed.

Only then did he dare to raise his head slowly. Gu Ran looked at the three brothers, trembling and said, "I'm sorry for your ......"

Gu Yan shook his head: "Don't talk about these useless things now, let's go home!"

Gu Ran nodded, then looked at Gu Mo. Who knew that Gu Mo just glanced at him coldly, and then walked away without saying a word.

Gu Ran was stunned, full of apologies but at a loss.

Gu Mo walked in front silently, and his heart turned over the river and the sea.

Gu Ran was free, and Gu Mansion was secure, but Gu Wanyan disappeared into his life. In a few days, he would enter the palace to personally witness what kind of other world Gu Wanyan had arrived in that was much farther away from them.

He hated himself for not being able to, not being able to stop this!

Although everyone knows that Gu Wanyan is an orphan girl picked up by her wife, although her true identity may be Princess Loulan, but ......

But Gu Mo knew very well, would Gu Wanyan be willing to be a high-ranking princess? Would she be willing to give up everything to live in the palace? What did Loulan really arrange?!
