After instructing Gu Manman, Wei Huanyue went to the door with the little maid.

Cai, who was waiting for her in the car, had a calm face at the moment, looking very unhappy.

Wei Weiyue was puzzled, before going out, her mother said that she would help Aunt Gu's funeral more, it was only a short while, why did she have to go back? She asked aloud, "Mother, why are we going back so soon?" I haven't finished talking to Sister Manman yet. ”

Cai Shi looked at the white curtains fluttering around the Gu Mansion, and the breath in his heart was extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell his daughter, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Your Uncle Gu has his own arrangements, it's okay left and right, let's go home first, and come back on the day of the funeral," paused, and then asked, "Manman, she doesn't look very good, what did you tell her?" ”

When Wei Huanyue told Cai's what she heard from Gu Manman, Cai's heard Wei Lianyue say that Gu Manman was very unwilling to take revenge on the Xia family, and immediately alerted her heart, and told Wei Huanyue: "Don't get too close to her in the future, since that incident, her reputation is not very good, you beware of others pulling gossip on you, she doesn't use her brains to do things, don't bother you plainly, what she wants to do in the future, you pay attention, don't let her get involved with you, in case something happens again, She's stuck in the mire and can't pull it out, so don't bring you in again, you know? ”

Wei Hanyue pursed the corners of her lips, a little worried, "But Sister Manman looks very bad now, and Aunt Gu is no longer there......

Cai sighed, thinking of Gu Zhongyong, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, and he said lightly: "Isn't there still your Uncle Gu, your uncle didn't move, what can she do as a child?" If one doesn't get it right, it will only make her reputation more stinky, and no one will excuse her when the time comes," she said, turning her head and reminding Wei Yueyue, "Mother is also for your good, and on the day of the funeral, you persuade her, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, at this juncture, their family's every move is watched, don't cause anything else." ”

Wei Yuyue nodded obediently, but quickly calculated in her heart.

After saying this, Cai couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and she didn't know if Gu Zhongyong was too old this year, even if her daughter-in-law was stupid like this, she was stupid and stupid, she shook her head silently.

When she returned to Anbei Houfu, she sat in the flower hall and looked at the harvest of the previous year in Zhuangzi, for some reason, her heart was flustered, she held back her troubled feelings, and looked at the account books carefully.

Wei Jie went back to the main house when he was having dinner, saw Cai's, and asked, "How is the Gu family?" ”

Cai Shi was immersed in the account books, and as soon as he looked up, Wei Jie hurriedly stood up and served him to change his clothes, thinking of the snub he received in the Gu Mansion this afternoon, and the resentment in his heart was released.

"The chaos in Ning Guogong's mansion is not good, a concubine room dares to guard the main room, the concubine body really can't look past it, so she punished the concubine room, so as to give those people below who took advantage of the death of the master mother to steal and play tricks A wake-up call, who knows that Ning Guogong blames the concubine and does not leave any face for the concubine, originally the concubine wanted to help preside over Mrs. Gu's funeral, how do you know that Ning Guogong has a ravine in his heart, and he invited the daughter-in-law of the brother family in the Gu clan to help him take care of the funeral early in the morning, where is the concubine who does not understand the face of others, So I came back early in the morning. ”

Wei Jie's eyebrows furrowed: "This Gu Zhongyong is too disagreeable, how can there be such a reason to condone the concubine, is he stupid?" I went to him in the outer courtyard today to discuss things, and he was also distracted, and he didn't know what he had in his head. ”

Cai's heart moved, remembering what her daughter had told her, and she relayed it to Wei Jie, "...... Manman's child has been stimulated so much this time that I don't know what kind of thing I will do, so I have already instructed her not to get involved, so as to save a thankless end......"

Saying that, he sighed, thought of Gu Yi, and added: "Gu Shizi is now in the palace, I don't know if he can survive......" Cai Shi said and said, suddenly thought of something, and shouted in a lost voice, "Master Hou, Ning Guogong doesn't mean to distance himself from us, right?" ”

This sentence made Wei Jie's heart tremble, and then thinking of his current errand, he couldn't help frowning even tighter, and blamed him for discussing things with Gu Zhongyong in the past few days, and he was absent-minded, it turned out that he had this thought. Wei Jie's eyes narrowed, Gu Zhongyong wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to draw a line with the Wei family, and he had to see if he allowed it.

Wei Jie suddenly got up and walked to the outer courtyard.

Cai hurriedly said, "Master Hou, where are you going?" Dinner is coming soon! ”

Wei Jie left a sentence: "You eat first, I'll go to the outer courtyard to eat with Mr. Qing, don't wait for me." ”

Cai knew that he had gone to the staff to discuss, and he didn't dare to keep him, so he immediately ate dinner alone, and didn't see him come back until the evening, knowing that his husband must have rested in the outer courtyard today, so he turned off the lights and fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qianyuan Hall received another 800-li urgent battle report, saying that the Tartars had begun to attack the city, and Anbei Hou Shizi led the army to defend the city gate and asked the emperor for support.

The emperor held the battle report in his hand, glanced at the civil and military officials, and said, "In that case, let the two of them leave today." ”

Put the final word on it.

When the oracle reached the East Palace, the prince got up and went to the Qianyuan Hall and said to the emperor: "...... Gu Shizi's injury was not good, Erchen really couldn't rest assured, Erchen thought, it is better to let the third brother go first, and in a few days Erchen will wait for Gu Shizi's injury to improve before leaving. ”

The emperor silently looked at the prince for a quarter of an hour, and saw that the prince's heart was hairy, and then he spoke: "It is not in vain that you can have this responsibility, I have invited so many Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy to teach you, then you will leave in a few days." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

The prince walked out of the Qianyuan Palace, raised his eyes to look at the bright sun in the sky, his heart was bright, and with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, he returned to the East Palace.

The emperor sent Wei Qing to come in and advised: "The third child will definitely be difficult to go to the northwest this time, and I want you to protect him every step of the way!" ”

Wei Qing nodded in agreement.

The oracle reached Yunhua Palace, and Chu Shaoyuan arranged some trivial matters, and went to Qianyuan Hall to say goodbye to the emperor.

After saluting, Chu Shaoyuan said bluntly: "Father, there is a small guard by the son's side, and the son's minister is interested in Xiao Pei, and he wants him to go to the northwest with his son, and I hope that my father will agree." ”

The emperor looked at Chu Shaoyuan's eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to his own, and said with a smile: "Since it is the person you like, then take him with you, remember to protect others, don't let people's loyalty go to waste, it's not early, I will send you out of the imperial city." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, "Erchen remember his father's teachings!" ”

The emperor sent him out of Chongxingmen, watched him fly on his horse and out of the imperial city, until he couldn't see it anymore, he turned back, but he didn't go back to the Qianyuan Palace, but went to the Star Pavilion.

The Emperor stood on the top floor of the Star Pavilion, looking in the northwest direction, and sighed secretly.

said in a low voice: "Ruxue, is it right or wrong for me to do this?" ”

At this time, the emperor was like an ordinary father, hoping that his son could fly high, but also a little reluctant to let go, and no one could solve the doubts in his heart, only this sigh that could not be lighter expressed his mood.
