Mrs. Tai fell ill, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion was like a layer of clouds.

Mrs. Tai usually doesn't ask about trivial matters in the house. Mrs. Ketai is like the Gu family's Dinghai Divine Needle. No matter what kind of difficulties and storms you encounter, you can get through it safely.

At this time, it was also the most difficult time for the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Gu Song died, Gu Jinxing went to the border pass, Wu was bedridden, Cui Junyao was injured in premature birth, and she was in a gloomy mood, so she has been recuperating in the house.

Only Gu Hai is left in the house to support the overall situation.

Mrs. Tai is over sixty years old, which is a rare longevity at this time. At this age, it is most taboo to be happy, sad and angry. This time he fell ill, and the spirits of everyone in the Gu family became tense.

State affairs are important, Gu Hai only kept watch in the Zhenghe Hall for one night, and continued to go to court the next day. Gu Jinzhi and Gu Jinli were also on duty, and they had no time to go home.

The Liu family has to take care of the Wu family and take care of the family affairs.

The Fang family led his daughter-in-law Fang Yunxiu to take care of Mrs. Tai in Zhenghetang.

In this way, no one cares about the affairs of the inner house. Fortunately, the house in the Dingbei Hou Mansion is clear, and there is nothing bad about it. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of chaos will turn out these days.

……

When Mrs. Tai fell ill, no one dared to tell Gu Guanning.

After Chen Yueniang got the news, she cried quietly, but in front of Gu Wanning, she didn't say a word.

No one knows better than her how deep Gu Wanning's feelings for Mrs. Tai are. If he knew that Mrs. Tai was seriously ill, where would Gu Guanning still be willing to raise the fetus with peace of mind.

However, Chen Yueniang really underestimated Gu Wanning's acumen.

On this day, Gu Wanning suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Master, do you have something to hide from me?"

Chen Yueniang was shocked in her heart, and a casual smile appeared on her face: "Niangniang is too careful." If there is something important, how dare the slave and maid hide it from the mother. ”

Gu Wanning raised his eyes and said lightly: "Linglong doesn't dare to hide it from me, but the master is different." As long as the master feels that the news is unfavorable, he will hide it and let me raise the baby with peace of mind. ”

Chen Yueniang: "......"

Chen Yueniang was stunned for a moment, of course, she couldn't hide it from Gu Wanning.

Gu Wanning's heart sank, but his face did not show it.

After Linglong became pregnant, the original news transmission inside and outside the palace was handed over to Chen Yueniang. Chen Yueniang is careful and calm, and she is even more exquisite. However, in terms of "obedience", it is not as good as Linglong.

"Let me guess. Gu Wanning asked quietly: "The border is fighting, and it is normal to win or lose a battle." I think it has nothing to do with the border war. Things have been quiet in the palace recently, and what can make the master hide it must be the matter of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. ”

Chen Yueniang is actually not good at words, let alone hypocrisy, and when asked to this point, the look on her face could no longer be hidden.

Gu Guan looked at Chen Yueniang steadily: "Is there something wrong with my grandmother?"

Chen Yueniang didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Tai is sick." ”

Gu Wanning had no smile on his face: "When did it happen?"

"It's been about ten days. Xu Cang would go to the Hou Mansion every two days to see Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai is already old, and she needs to be kept quiet, and she can't move. Xiao Rui's hiding in the enemy army provoked Mrs. Tai's heart to be angry and she fainted. After that, he became ill. ”

Chen Yueniang no longer concealed the worries in her heart, sighed and said, "The emperor specially told me to hide this matter. lest the mother be too worried. The slave didn't want the mother to be in a hurry, so she didn't say anything. Please don't blame me!"

Gu Wanning was in no mood to blame Chen Yueniang at this time, frowned and continued to ask: "Xu Cang must have told his master about his grandmother's illness. Grandmother's life is in danger?"

Chen Yueniang didn't dare to tell the truth now, so she cheered up and smiled: "Don't worry, Mrs. Tai will never worry about her life." ”

Gu Wanning glanced at Chen Yueniang and didn't ask any more.

Chen Yueniang's heart was slightly put back in place.

Actually, Xu Cang's original words are like this.

"For old people, there is no fixed number of longevity. Mrs. Tai is more than sixty years old and has a long life. At this age, if you don't get sick, you can't get better, and when you get sick, it's not easy to get better. ”

"If Mrs. Tai can't hold on, the Dingbei Hou Mansion will have to prepare for the future. ”

How could she say such cruel words?

……

Chen Yueniang, who let go of her heart, soon couldn't calm down.

"Yingluo, Liuli, why are you packing your clothes and luggage?" asked Chen Yueniang anxiously.

Yingluo Liuli glanced at each other helplessly, and then Yingluo replied in a low voice: "Niangniang wants to go back to Dingbei Hou Mansion to live for a few days." ”

Chen Yueniang's mind buzzed, and she subconsciously blurted out: "No!"

"Why not?" asked Ruri.

Chen Yueniang opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

She downplayed Mrs. Tai's condition. But as soon as Gu Wanning went back and saw Mrs. Tai with his own eyes, he couldn't hide anything.

As soon as Yingluo Liuli saw Chen Yueniang's face, she knew what was going on.

"Is Mrs. Tai very sick?" Yingluo's voice trembled: "That's why you stopped Niangniang from knowing, and didn't dare to let Niangniang go back to the Hou Mansion?"

Chen Yueniang nodded obscurely.

Liuli's eyes also flashed with water: "Mrs. Tai is like this...... Niangniang is now insisting on going back. Who can stop the mother?"

What Gu Wanning wants to do, no one can stop him.

Chen Yueniang gritted her teeth: "Otherwise, I'll go to Cining Palace to deliver a letter and let the Queen Mother stop Niangniang!"

"Never!" replied in unison.

Yingluo said hurriedly: "Master, although you have been by Niangniang's side for many years, you are not as familiar with Niangniang's temper as we are. Since the mother wants to go back, she must go back. If you ask the Queen Mother to stop it, the Queen Mother will be angry. ”

Chen Yueniang was dumbfounded.

She has been by Gu Wanning's side for many years, and Gu Guanning respects her quite much and treats her as an elder. Moreover, she doesn't need to do anything about personal service.

Speaking of which, she is indeed not particularly familiar with Gu Wanning's temperament and temperament.

If you can't stop it, you can't stop it.

Chen Yueniang quickly adjusted her mentality, nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me." Then let's accompany my mother back home!"

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Guanning returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

When she returned home this time, she only informed Xiao Xu and Empress Dowager Min. Even the three children didn't have time to say a word. The dozens of guards of the Praetorian Army who accompanied him seemed to be relaxed, but in fact they were secretly on guard.

The carriage in the palace stopped outside the gate of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the porter steward was startled, and was about to lead the porter to kneel, when a familiar voice came from the carriage: "Go to Zhenghetang immediately and spread the word, and say that I will come back to visit my grandmother." ”

The porter received the order tremblingly, and personally ran to Zhenghe Hall to spread the word.

Gu Wanning did not delay for a moment, got off the carriage with the support of Liuli Yingluo, and went all the way to Zhenghe Hall.

Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to greet them with a shocked face.

Gu Guanning didn't want to say more, nodded slightly, and stepped into the bedroom.
