Gu Wanning replied in a deep voice: "Grandmother, you don't have to worry about this matter. Xiao Xu made such a decision, not only for you, but more importantly, Wang Ge Lao had bad intentions and must not back down and tolerate it. ”

"Wanning is right. ”

Gu Hai took over the conversation: "The emperor has already expressed his attitude in the court today. Besides, if other courtiers follow suit and form a party to persecute the emperor, what should the emperor do?"

"As the Son of Heaven, how can you bow your head to your courtiers? This matter is a foregone conclusion, and the lives of all the female dependents of the Qi Palace's palace must also be saved. Mother don't worry about it anymore. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Gu Hai, who was well-spoken, and then at Gu Wanning, who looked calm, and then pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly: "That's it, I'm alone, how can I talk about the two of you." In short, I don't want the emperor to be criticized by the ministers because of my wife. I don't want this matter to become a handle for Sister Ning to be criticized. ”

Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Grandmother is too worried." ”

Gu Hai also laughed: "Mother shouldn't have forgotten! Since Guanning donated a million private houses for military salaries, the name of the virtuous queen is well known to the government and the public. Not to mention that Wanning has not done anything that should not be done, even if there are one or two occasionally, no one dares to criticize it in private. ”

Mrs. Tai's heavy mind was finally relieved.

……

When Mrs. Tai fell asleep, Gu Hai glanced at Gu Wanning, Gu Guanning suddenly understood, and went to the outer room with Gu Hai.

"Did the third uncle say anything just now?"

Gu Hai nodded, and his expression became solemn: "When I learned that Xiao Rui was hiding in the enemy army, I secretly sent a letter to Jin Xing, asking him to order all the Gu family's secret guards to infiltrate the border city captured by the enemy, search for Xiao Rui's whereabouts, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him." ”

"As soon as I received my letter, I went into action. There was no progress in this period, but another important matter was discovered. ”

"Tibet believes in heresy and worships witchcraft as the state religion. The Tubo National Teacher is a very famous witch Tao. Xiao Rui somehow won the favor of this Tubo national teacher two years ago, and was accepted as a disciple by that national teacher. ”

That's why Xiao Rui has such a high status in the Tubo army!

The prince of Tubo attaches so much importance to Xiao Rui, not only because Xiao Rui is the brother of the lord of Leyang County.

Gu Wanning frowned slightly, opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know much about Wu Dao. I wonder if the third uncle understands?"

Gu Hai was well-informed, and he had specially ordered someone to collect such information, and said with a calm face at this time: "Wu Dao has something in common with our Taoism in Great Qin, and he is good at refining all kinds of pills. However, witchcraft is more witchcraft-oriented. The uncivilized barbarians in Tibet believed in witchcraft very much, and because of this, the witchcraft had a very high status in Tibet. ”

"I don't know much about sorcery, it's probably witchcraft or something. ”

Gu Wanning's expression changed slightly: "If that's the case, will Xiao Rui use this kind of evil art to deal with the border army?"

Gu Hai frowned for a moment, and said slowly: "If he has such the ability to change the situation of the battle, he can use it from the beginning, and he doesn't have to wait until today." ”

Gu Wanning snorted, said no more, and inexplicably passed a shadow in his heart.

……

The next day, Gu Guanning returned to the palace.

Empress Dowager Min, who got the news, led the three Gillian sisters and brothers to wait in the Jiaofang Palace.

When Gu Wanning's figure appeared, Ah Chun couldn't help but rush forward.

Gillian quickly grabbed Ah Chun and glared at him fiercely: "How did I explain to you? The queen mother is pregnant, and she must not bump into the queen mother." Have you forgotten what I said?"

Ah Chun immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "What my sister taught me a lesson." ”

Gu Wanning looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Everything in the palace has been sent to her ears by someone. During the time she left the palace, Gillian, the eldest sister, took good care of her two younger brothers.

Ah Yi is nothing, the youngest Ah Chun is busy reading during the day, and at night, he has to cry again. It's Gillian by his side.

"Queen Mother," Gillian asked with concern, "Has my great-grandmother's condition improved?"

There is a girl in my family who has just grown up.

Looking at Gillian who was as heroic and neat as an adult, Gu Wanning's heart softened, and he nodded and responded: "Yes, she has no worries about her life." ”

Gillian breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Yi also stepped forward, his eyes swirled on Gu Wanning's body, and finally landed on Gu Guanning's bulging belly: "The queen mother must be very tired these days, the younger brothers and sisters in the belly haven't made trouble with the queen mother!"

This can be asked about the heart of the Empress Dowager Min.

Empress Dowager Min also stepped forward, her eyes full of concern: "Guan Ning, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Wanning smiled apologetically: "Everything is fine with my daughter-in-law, but my mother is worried and bothered, and my daughter-in-law is really uneasy." I didn't have time to get the queen's approval that day, so I left the palace in a hurry and asked the queen mother for forgiveness. ”

Empress Dowager Min sighed: "It's all in the past, what are you doing with this." As long as Mrs. Tai is safe, there is no need to mention these little things. ”

As he was talking, a palace maid came to report: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the emperor is coming." ”

……

Xiao Xu obviously got the news and rushed immediately, wearing a dragon robe, and his feet were like meteors.

The moment the husband and wife looked at each other, there was a burst of pity in their hearts.

He's lost weight!

She's lost weight!

The two thought about it in unison, and subconsciously approached each other and hugged each other gently. After a moment of warmth, the two parted and stood still.

"A-Ning, grandmother's condition has improved!" Xiao Xu asked in a low voice.

With Gu Wanning's temperament, if Mrs. Tai's life is still in danger, she will not leave Mrs. Tai for half a step. Now that he is willing to return to the palace, it is no big problem to think that Mrs. Tai will come.

Gu Guanning nodded and said softly, "It's okay anymore." Xu Cang said that he was 90% sure that his grandmother's illness would be cured. ”

Mrs. Tai's serious illness was menacing, all because of heart disease.

Xiao Xu also knows this.

In front of the Empress Dowager Min and the children, it was inconvenient for the husband and wife to say much. After a few words of gossip, Xiao Xu returned to the Funing Palace. There was still a pile of recitals and courtiers waiting for him.

Empress Dowager Min looked at her son's figure leaving in a hurry, and felt distressed in her heart, and couldn't help sighing: "This dragon chair, everyone in the Xiao family has to fight for it." But I don't know how much hard work it will take to sit on it. ”

Isn't that so?

As great a person's rights are, so are the corresponding responsibilities.

Sitting on the country means that you have to be responsible for the Jiangshan community of Daqin and the thousands of Li people!

State affairs are already heavy, and now that the border war has been added, it is inevitable that Xiao Xu will worry about his busy feet not touching the ground.
