Chapter 40: Caught off guard
Gu Chuhuan: "......."
Gu Chuhuan originally thought that Chun Tao was too much of a fuss, and remembered that Chun Tao was only eleven years old, and it was reasonable for her to panic when she first came to Kwai Shui, so she asked her to rest on the couch next to her and find her the cotton pad she had not used.

poured a cup of hot water for Chun Tao and advised: "You don't come down in bed, there will be some pain in the past two days, endure it, and it will be fine in the future." It's hot outside, so don't be cold. ”
Chun Tao's little face was flushed with shame, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Chuhuan, so she covered her face and responded.
Gu Chuhuan looked at the time, thinking that Ye Boxian should also go down, so he took the door and walked towards Ye Boxian's study.
Sure enough, when I entered the study, I saw Ye Boxian lying on the desk with a sad face, not knowing what to write.
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
Ye Boxian sighed when he saw his beloved daughter coming, "There was no big deal in the upper dynasty today, but who knew that the eldest prince suddenly proposed to the saint to repair the palace in Lianzhou when he came to the next dynasty. ”
"Repair the palace? But for the emperor's summer retreat? ”
"Exactly."
"What's wrong with that?" Gu Chuhuan was a little puzzled again.
"If it was a few years ago, it would have been nothing, but in the past two years, there have been many disasters, the treasury is empty, repairing the palace is laborious and costly, and there is another month is the summer season, this month's construction period wants to repair the huge Lianzhou Palace, I am afraid that I have to recruit the people again, causing resentment."
"In that case, is there no opposition in the DPRK and China?"
The second prince naturally tried his best to dissuade him, and his father also euphemistically expressed his disapproval of this matter. It's just that the eldest prince keeps saying that it is about the dragon body, and even if the other courtiers are unwilling in their hearts, it is not easy to express their position directly. ”
"Huan'er guesses that the Hubu Shangshu must support the eldest prince, and it is only the father who will be depressed?"
Ye Boxian's expression was complicated when he heard this: "If it's just the head of the household, it's just that, the strange thing is that Yuan Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who has always been good at himself, also strongly supports and tries his best to promote this matter......
"Ministry of Rites? This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, how could he speak out in support? ”
That's exactly what I said. If it is said that it is the book of the Ministry of Industry, there will always be some oil and water to be fished out of repairing the palace, but there is no eight poles between this Ministry of Rites and this matter....... Doubting ........ for the Father"
"Daddy suspects that the Ministry of Rites was also pulled under the command of the eldest prince?"
Ye Boxian's face was heavy, and he was about to nod, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said, "Look at me as a father, what are you talking about with a girl?" ”
Gu Chuhuan didn't want Ye Boxian to turn this matter over: "Daddy, do you remember Huan'er's words yesterday?" ”
Seeing that Ye Boxian was silent in thought, Gu Chuhuan continued: "Daddy doesn't want Huan'er to risk his life, but now that the Ministry of Rites has also become the person of the eldest prince, if Daddy hesitates again, I am afraid that it will not be long before the six departments of the court and the central government will have the same heart with the eldest prince." When the time comes, don't say that Daddy supports the second prince, even if you want to be alone, it will be difficult! ”
Ye Boxian was about to open his mouth, but Gu Chuhuan didn't give him a chance to speak: "Although the Great Prince's City Mansion is deep, Huan'er is not an ignorant child, in a place like Hanbilou, Huan'er can still preserve itself, and the Great Prince can still be a Longtan Tiger's Den?" ”
Ye Boxian thought about it, there was indeed no better way, knowing that Gu Chuhuan had made up his mind, he could only nod and agree: "Huan'er, if he really finds any clues one day, you must tell your father, and you must protect you even if you sacrifice your life for your father." ”
The father and daughter discussed until Hai made a plan, and after Gu Chuhuan left, Ye Boxian was extremely tired and slept in the study.
Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Chuhuan asked Chun Tao to inform Xiao Zhengyuan's guards that he would see the eldest prince at noon.
Seeing that the time was still early, Gu Chuhuan remembered that Chen Zifeng's idle residence was not far from the Hou Mansion, so he took a box of osmanthus cakes from the room and walked towards the south.
When he arrived at the door of Feng Xian's residence, the housekeeper saw that Gu Chuhuan was coming, and he didn't make a report, and directly took Gu Chuhuan to Chen Zifeng's study.
"Old Chen, let's see what Chu Huan brought you?"
Chen Zifeng was drawing Danqing on the case, and when he heard the voice, he immediately smiled and put the pen down.
"Girl, you're here, I haven't heard from you for the past few days, and I thought you were eaten by the prince! Hahahaha....."
Gu Chuhuan was speechless, why did this old man say something shocking every time they met?
"Yo, this is osmanthus cake, it just so happens that there is a fire in the past two days, and the mouth is very bitter! Come, I'll taste it. ”
"It's not dry or dry these days, how can a good one catch fire? But sick? Have you ever asked a doctor to take a look? ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Zifeng put the half-eaten osmanthus cake on the tea table, looking like he wanted to say something......
"What's wrong? Is it true that Chen Lao has a heart disease? ”
"Alas!" Chen Zifeng sighed: "Girl, I won't tell you, that kid is coming to me again." ”
Gu Chuhuan's heart moved, thinking about recognizing his father these days, but he forgot about Xiao Liran's side.
"Chen Lao said Xiao Gongzi?"
"It's not him, who else can there be!"
"Why is Old Chen so hot? Didn't that Xiao Gongzi say something indecent to make you angry? ”
"It's not that he was angry, but he told me something and hoped to get the old man's support...... Alas, don't mention it. ”
Gu Chuhuan had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart, and when he saw that Chen Lao was reluctant to say, he stopped asking.
"Old Chen, I think you don't know yet, Chu Huan has found his father!"
"Oh?"
Chen Zifeng's expression was disapproving: "Your bastard father didn't care if he threw you in the Qinglou for more than ten years, what is there to say if you admit it or not?" ”
Gu Chuhuan covered his mouth and smiled: "Old Chen said that my father is a bastard father?" ”
"That's still fake!"
Gu Chuhuan poured himself a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it, just gently rubbed the edge of the bowl with his fingers, and said mysteriously: "Does Old Ye know who my father is?" ”
"Whoever he is...... Listen to the girl's meaning, the old man knows this person? ”
Gu Chuhuan smiled: "I mentioned it in our chat last time, Old Chen think about it carefully?" ”
Chen Zifeng recalled carefully when he heard this, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Didn't you talk about Xiao Liran last time, and the eldest prince, this is impossible, could it be ........?"
Chen Zifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Gu Chuhuan in disbelief: "Girl, could it be Chang Jinghou?" ”
Gu Chuhuan saw that his expression was extremely funny, so he held back a smile and nodded vigorously.
"Hahaha...... What a coincidence! No wonder the old man thinks that he is so in love with you, and dares to love you as the girl of the Hou Ye! Hahaha....."
Chen Zifeng smiled and suddenly paused, scratching his head vigorously: "I think Master Hou must have a hard time failing to recognize you before, girl, don't misunderstand him." ”
Gu Chuhuan was surprised, didn't he scold quite fiercely just now? Why did you hear that it was Chang Jinghou, and the style of conversation immediately changed?
"Hey! I've been worried about you before! Now that you recognize such a powerful father, why do you have to worry about the eldest prince? ”
When Gu Chuhuan heard this, his face was serious: "Old Chen, Chuhuan has something I want to discuss with you. ”
