"Queen Mother?!" Gu Zhirong looked at the young master of Baojian Hall in front of her in shock, in her understanding, the sacred and noble word "Queen Mother" of course refers to the main room of the current emperor, that is, the queen's mother. However, does the young queen mother have anything to do with the young master of Baojian Hall in front of her?

The current queen died early, and only had one son, the current prince, and there was nothing left.

Of course, she would not take it for granted that the disfigured young master in front of her was the current prince.

In another way of thinking, could it be that this young master is the illegitimate son of the queen's mother?

Gu Zhirong quickly denied this idea, not to mention that it is impossible for the emperor to be a cuckold today, and I heard that the life span of the queen mother of the main palace is very short, and her body is weak, and it is impossible to have another child. Moreover, she still has the jade pendant given by the young master in her hand, and I heard that it is from the lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley......

Then she thought of another possibility. If the young master's family and the queen mother have been friends for generations, then each other's children must have been playing together since childhood, then, the queen mother can no longer have children, and it is okay to recognize a godson. In this way, this godson can be regarded as a prince in the eyes of outsiders, so his title for the queen should also be changed to "queen mother", right?

Thinking about it like this, Gu Zhirong felt that this was reasonable.

Or, the young master's mother had a relationship with the queen, and it may not be that she was saved by the queen. It is rumored that the queen has always been quite compassionate and has a reputation for benevolence in Kyushu. Then the rescued woman must be grateful to the queen mother and let her son assist the prince. It's also a reasonable thing.

In this way, although the young master of Baojian Hall is not a person in the court, how can he be inextricably linked to the court. and so loyally for the crown prince, and exchanged information with the prince who was far away in the capital, so it makes sense.

Gu Zhirong felt a little uneasy about the secret he had unintentionally revealed, after all, no matter what, this was someone's privacy. She just wanted to use the mouth of this prince's companion to understand whether the prince was trustworthy and trustworthy. Unexpectedly, it led to other people's sad things, which was greatly unexpected by her.

If the current crown prince had the same affection and righteousness as this young master of Baojian Hall, maybe she wouldn't have so many worries.

"I'm sorry," she patted him on the back. "I didn't know that the death of the queen mother hit you so hard, I shouldn't mention it......"

The young master looked at the uncertain place in front of him in a daze, and his eyes became soft and fascinating: "The queen mother is the best person in this world who treats me best. When I was a kid, I was naughty. I always get into trouble, and when my father knows about it, he always wants to teach me a lesson, but the queen mother stops me, and my father always says that sooner or later I will be spoiled by the queen mother. I really hope that I will never grow up under my mother's knees in this life, and I will be spoiled by her for the rest of my life, but she is gone so early and will never come back......."

Tears flowed down her cheeks. Some spilled out from under the mask. Gu Zhirong had never seen him cry, and he had never seen him so vulnerable. I didn't expect that the famous young master of the Treasure Hall would cry in front of her. She was confused all of a sudden, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and coaxed him like a child: "Be good, don't cry, if you cry again, you won't be well-behaved." ”

In an instant, Gu Zhirong suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu, as if he had done such a thing before. She couldn't remember where it was.

Just when she was stunned, the young master suddenly tilted his body and fell diagonally from his chair, and he was completely drunk.

Gu Zhirong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was too heavy, and the "fairy drunk" seemed to be too much, so that she didn't ask much yet, patronizing and comforting others, wasting a great opportunity in vain.

Gu Zhirong sighed slightly, it seemed that that kind of thing had to be decided by himself.

However, the current problem is that this young master is drunk in his own room, what is the matter? Even if Gu Zhirong subconsciously feels that this is not a big deal, but a big man sleeping in his own room always has a little mind in his heart. So, she decided to go outside and ask the men on the ship to help carry the young master back to his own room.

She closed the door and turned to walk towards the lower compartment of the ship. When I passed the deck, I saw people leaning on the railing of the passenger ship, enjoying the scenery along the way. There was also an old man who simply asked the little servant to move out a small round table, put a set of wine jugs and wine glasses, and pour himself a drink, which was very pleasant.

When Gu Zhirong passed by his side, he could hear him talking to the person next to him: "Ladies and gentlemen, now this place, called Bishui Town, is the jurisdiction of General Huang Gang, the general of the four-rank stilt cavalry under the seat of General Tong of Jicheng, General Tong has always been strict, and the soldiers under his command are also fulfilling their duties, this area is much better than Jiangzhou, it is very peaceful, and it is basically difficult to see any water bandits......

When the old man said this, Gu Zhirong obviously saw that the expressions on the faces of the people who were listening attentively suddenly relaxed, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion.

"It's really good to leave Jiangzhou, thank goodness!"

"I heard that the people in the area under the jurisdiction of General Huanggang Huang are simple and simple, although they are adjacent to Jiangzhou, but they are very different, now we can go home with confidence......

"As long as it is within the jurisdiction of General Huang, it is natural to get home safely. Don't you see, this river is called Fanjiang, and now there are a lot more ships on this river?"

Gu Zhirong hurriedly looked at the river, and sure enough, the route of this river was really very busy, with big boats, small boats, flower boats, and fishermen's fishing boats, coming and going, shuttling and passing by, and it was really lively.

Gu Zhirong was thinking carefully about who this Huanggang Huang General was, he didn't know if he had seen it when he was in the Jicheng Tongjia military camp, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound not far ahead, Gu Zhirong subconsciously covered his ears and looked forward inquiringly.

Not far ahead, a huge warship stood at some point, coming in the wind and waves.

This is a sharp-bottomed sea ship, also known as a warship, with the word "yellow" raised on the bow. The ship was huge, as tall as a building, with a wide bottom and a high bow and tail, and guards on both sides. Gu Zhirong looked at it, the draft of this boat was as much as four meters. It is so heavy, based on her experience in the Yangtze River estuary for many years, it must have been filled with earth and stone ballast, or gunpowder. If you look closely, there are three layers on it, especially the upper layer, where you can see the bow and arrow and artillery clearly.

This kind of ship is extremely fast, but after a while, it seems to be in front of it. The tall hull of the ship, like a small mountain, with a compelling heat, forced to come.

Most of the people on the boat were flat-headed people, who had never seen such a well-equipped warship, and they gathered on the railing to stare at it.

Immediately someone screamed: "The ship...... The boat is crazy, everyone run!"

All of a sudden, there was chaos on the deck, with cries and screams, and everyone was panicked and fled in panic as if they had lost their souls.

Gu Zhirong stood far away from the railing, unable to see what was happening in front of him. Curious, she pushed aside a few of the people who had bumped into her and squeezed to the railing.

At this look, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. (To be continued......)
