Chapter 150: The Storm Rises
Dai Xiangping, Dai Xianghuan the safe arrival of the dragon and phoenix fetus, for the entire Nanling Mansion added infinite joy, since the birth of the two, people who came to visit in an endless stream, even the Empress Dowager Jiang who lived in the palace, also sent the most useful grandmother around to send a congratulatory gift, and specially told the grandmother to take a closer look at the child, and so on back to describe the appearance of the child to himself.
And Gu Yunjin and Dai Jinchao are not to mention, the two are completely immersed in the joy of being parents, especially Dai Jinchao, who loves the two children so much that he can't see them for a while, and he panics when he can't see them for a while, as if the children will leave him at any time, they have to go to the children's beds to see and touch their little faces to feel at ease. Gu Yunjin had joked many times that he had the potential to be a daddy, but he just laughed and didn't say anything.
As time passed, Gu Yunjin's body was slowly recovering, and after almost ten days, she refused to stay in bed all day, as usual, getting out of bed and walking, bathing and washing her hair, what to do.
This made Dai Jinchao worried, for fear that she would fall into some disease, and tried her best to persuade her every time, but it was useless.
A woman's birth is a matter of life and death, Gu Yunjin naturally won't joke with her body, she dares to do this, but she just uses some methods about confinement that she knew in her previous life.
On the ninth day of the first month of February, it was the day when Dai Xiangping and Dai Xianghuan held a full moon wine, and the palace began to prepare four or five days in advance, and people came and went.
However, Gu Yunjin never thought that a monstrous disaster had quietly descended, instantly subverting her already bumpy life.
In the early morning of this day, before Gu Yunjin and Dai Jinchao got up, they heard the crying of the two children, and the nurse seemed to be unable to take care of them. This made the two very confused and worried, because since the child was born, he had never cried like now.
Dai Jinchao was the first to get up, and asked in a loud voice while dressing: "What's wrong with the child?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Gu Yunjin also sat up and said worriedly, "Yes, what's wrong with this kid today?" Why do you keep crying? After getting dressed, he instructed the nurse: "Mother Xiao, Mother Chen, bring the child in." ”
Xiao and Chen, the two nurses, were tossed very lightly, and when they heard this, they hurriedly came in with their children.
Granny Xiao carefully handed Dai Xiangping in her arms into Gu Yunjin's hands, and said with a smile: "The little young master doesn't eat milk, he just cries, and the slave doesn't know what's wrong." ”
On the other side, Dai Jinchao also took over the crying Dai Xianghuan from Grandma Chen.
And the two little guys, as soon as they got into the arms of their parents, the crying immediately stopped.
Gu Yunjin kissed the little face of the person in his arms, and said softly: "You two are really little villains, you can't stop crying when you want your father and mother to hug you." ”
"It's just, it's worse than your mother." Dai Jinchao smiled and agreed, and joked with someone by the way.
Gu Yunjin gave him a roll of his eyes and pouted dissatisfiedly, "I don't dare to compare with you even if I am a bad guy." ”
"Yunjin, look, Xiang Huan is asleep." A moment later, Dai Jinchao whispered to the person in his arms.
Gu Yunjin turned his head to look, and really saw that Dai Xianghuan was sleeping soundly, and then looked back at Dai Xiangping in his arms, who was also in a half-asleep state, so she patted the swaddling clothes and hummed a lullaby to lull him to sleep.
After the children fell asleep, the two handed them over to the nurse, who knows, just handed over to the nurse, the child suddenly woke up, began to cry again, and the two had to hug and sleep again.
After repeating this several times, Gu Yunjin was upset and sighed helplessly: "Today is really evil, and I began to panic in my heart." Unable to leave the child, she had to hold the child while letting the maid clean herself, and then held the child for breakfast.
After breakfast, Gu Yunjin and Dai Jinchao sat with a child in their arms, and the two of them stared at each other, helpless.
"What to do? Why don't you ask a doctor to see what's going on? The two sat relatively wordless for a long time, and Gu Yunjin finally couldn't help but say.
Dai Jinchao nodded noncommittally, "It seems that this is the only way, you can't hold it all the time." ”
"Don't move!" At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout outside, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, the sound of swords unsheathed, and the panicked screams of the maids.
I don't know if it was because they were frightened by this loud shout, Dai Xiangping and Dai Xianghuan suddenly woke up from their sleep and began to cry again.
Gu Yunjin and Dai Jinchao didn't know what was going on outside, the two glanced at each other, hurriedly stood up and walked out, but as soon as they took two steps, they suddenly saw a group of people break in. Everyone who came was wearing a black-armored guard uniform, with a silver sword hanging from his waist, his face was serious and condensed, and the murderous aura on his body was fully revealed, and he was actually a guard in the palace.
"Take it." The leading guards gave an order, and more than a dozen guards couldn't help but say that they all went to Gu Yunjin.
Gu Yunjin was completely stunned, he didn't know what was going on in front of him, he hugged Dai Xiangping who was crying in his arms tightly, and instinctively stepped back, "What are you doing, why are you arresting me?" ”
Dai Jinchao didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Gu Yunjin being besieged, he didn't have time to ask and think about it, so he angrily stepped out to protect him, "Bold, which of you dares to touch her." As he spoke, a few palms swung out, shaking back the approaching guards.
The leading guard's face sank, raised his chin and said in a cold voice with an arrogant expression: "Could it be that the prince wants to resist and disobey the order?" ”
Dai Jinchao recognized this guard, who had just been promoted by Master Fu of the Emperor's Mansion two or three months ago, and was said to be a disciple of the side branch of the Fu family.
He glanced at Gu Yunjin, then swept his gaze over the guards one by one, and finally locked on the face of the leading guard, "Even if Emperor Zhao wants to arrest someone, he needs a reason." ”
The leading guard replied in a deep voice: "Someone revealed that General Gu was secretly hiding the remnants of the Beisu royal family and wanted to plot against him, and the emperor ordered that the princess should enter the palace immediately." ”
"You are talking nonsense, my father is dedicated to the country, how can he hide the remnants of the enemy country, and it is impossible for him to plot wrongdoing." Gu Yunjin retorted fiercely, at this time, she didn't realize that the remnants of the Beishu royal family were referring to herself.
However, according to the battle in front of him, Dai Jinchao quickly guessed something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't believe it, "Is the remnant of the Beisu royal family you are talking about Yunjin?" ”
The thunderbolt on a sunny day is nothing more than this, Gu Yunjin's brain exploded, and his steps were unsteady and he retreated again and again, how could it be? She is the daughter of the Gu family, not the remnants of the royal family of Beishu! She's not, no, no!
"We are just acting on orders, and we ask the prince not to be embarrassed and take him away." The leading guards ordered again, and the guards began to step forward to arrest Gu Yunjin again.
After the initial shock, Dai Jinchao quickly reacted, and waved away the guard's hand that grabbed Gu Yunjin's arm, "She is from the Nanling Palace, none of you are allowed to touch her!" ”
The leading guard took out the token given by Emperor Zhao from his waist and said sharply: "The emperor has an order, if anyone stops us from doing an errand, we will ask for the guilt together!" ”
Dai Jinchao sneered, "I think Emperor Zhao is old, he has become old and dizzy, and he easily listens to the villain's slander, and comes to take people without asking." ”
"Bastard, how can you talk like that." An angry shout suddenly came, and it turned out that the king of Nanling hurried over, and at the same time, there was also the most useful Gonggong Wan by Emperor Zhao's side.
It turned out that Gonggong Wan had long expected that with the son of King Nanling here, it would not be smooth to take people, so when the palace of Nanling was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he went to see King Nanling as soon as possible and explained the emperor's meaning to King Nanling. The Gu family has committed a crime, and it is still unknown whether the palace can stay out of the matter, and at present, it is not appropriate to make a big move.
Gonggong Wan was quite polite, and when he saw Gu Yunjin with a sloppy gaze and a face as white as snow, he avoided the important and said lightly: "Don't worry, the princess, if it is really a villain, the emperor will return the innocence of the princess and the Gu family." ”
How could Gu Yunjin not know the seriousness of the matter, and how could he not understand Emperor Zhao's jealousy of the Gu family, Emperor Zhao was afraid that he had been waiting for the day when the Gu family made a mistake. She knew very well in her heart that this time, whether it was true or not, it would be difficult for the Gu family to get out of the way.
She hugged Dai Xiangping, who was crying in her arms, and asked Father-in-law Wan in a trembling voice: "Where is my father now?" ”
Gonggong Wan's eyes flickered, "After the early dynasty, General Gu was left in the palace by the emperor, and now he is waiting for the princess to enter the palace." ”
The so-called stay, I am afraid, is forcibly seized. Dai Jinchao knew that this matter was very important, and the level in front of him could not be avoided no matter what, so he looked at Gu Yunjin and said firmly: "Yunjin, don't be afraid, I will accompany you into the palace." ”
But Gonggong Wan said: "Before the emperor's will is issued, it is better for the people of the palace to stay in the palace." ”
Is this a captivity? Dai Jinchao was angry and was about to resist, but he heard King Nanling reply first: "This king will wait for the emperor's will in the palace, and everything will be arranged by the emperor." ”
Gonggong Wan nodded and said, "The prince is really an understanding person. ”
"Father, ......," Dai shouted anxiously.
King Nanling quietly glanced at him, the meaning was complicated, and sighed: "Today, you take care of the child, and the matter will be clarified." ”
"Father, you can't ignore Yunjin ......"
At this point, all the struggles and resistance were in vain, and Gu Yunjin had to force himself to face the cruel reality. She came to Dai Jinchao and solemnly handed over the child in her arms to him, without superfluous words, only a soft sentence: "Take good care of the child." ”
Dai Jinchao's eyes suddenly turned red, "Yunjin, don't worry, I will take care of the child, and I will also rescue you, and I won't let you have any trouble." ”
Gu Yunjin looked at the man in front of him who had been a husband and wife for just a year, and smiled lightly, but tears gradually blurred his eyes, "I will remember the words of the prince." One last glance at the two crying children, he turned away resolutely.
"Yunjin ......"
Dai Jinchao wanted to catch up, but Gonggong Wan stretched out his hand to stop him, "Shizi, please stay." ”
The child's cry tore at Gu Yunjin's heart, making her heart cut like a knife, and tears gushed out like a river bursting the embankment, she forced herself to speed up her pace and left the heavily guarded Chaohuayuan as fast as possible.
The palace has been surrounded, and all houses and courtyards are guarded by officers and soldiers, and people are strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and outside the gate, there are even more officers and soldiers guarding. The Nanling Palace, the situation of the General's Mansion can be imagined.
Gu Yunjin stood still beside the carriage and looked back at the closed gate of the palace for the last time, where she had the deepest concern in her life.
On the way to the palace, Gu Yunjin saw several teams of officers and soldiers hurrying by, if nothing else, these officers and soldiers should have gone to the general's mansion. Her heart sank even more, and she was more worried about the situation of her family.
Outside the palace gate, as soon as Gu Yunjin got off the carriage, he saw General Gu, who had lost his official uniform and was dressed in plain clothes, walking out of the palace gate, and the officers and soldiers on his side were closely guarded.
"Daddy." Gu Yunjin suddenly burst into tears, and rushed forward to throw himself into General Gu's arms, but before he could touch it, he was ruthlessly pulled away by the officers and soldiers.
"Daddy, I don't believe it, I'm your daughter, right? I'm not a remnant of the royal family, am I? Gu Yunjin struggled and cried.
General Gu opened his lips and wanted to explain something, but in the end he only said, "Jin'er, Dad...... I can't protect you anymore. ”
The last hope was shattered, Gu Yunjin's world collapsed, it turned out that she was really a remnant of the royal family in the north! This is a big sin for the Gu family, and it is even more of a lifeline for her.
"No, Daddy, I don't believe it, it was you who led the troops to destroy the Beisu Dynasty back then, why did you save me again?"
General Gu knew that this matter was important, and he didn't know what the final outcome would be, so he felt that it was time to make some things clear, so he looked at Gonggong Wan and asked, "Father-in-law, can you allow me to say a few words to my daughter?" ”
Before Gonggong Wan could reply, he heard the officers and soldiers escorting General Gu say loudly: "The emperor has an order to immediately send the general to Xilin Imperial Prison to wait for the trial in the future." ”
Xilin Imperial Prison is a prison directly controlled by the emperor, used to detain important officials of the imperial court who committed crimes, and it is heavily guarded, and all kinds of torture are even more terrifying.
"Daddy......" Gu Yunjin's heart was painful, but he was powerless to change all this.
For General Gu's request, Gonggong Wan was very embarrassed, because at this time, General Gu and the remnants of the enemy country could never have any contact again, but thinking that General Gu, who was beautiful on weekdays, was not bad for him, he categorically refused and was a little unbearable, so he had to say: "Then the general will say a few words, you can't delay for too long." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law."
As soon as he was free, Gu Yunjin rushed straight at General Gu, and the two hugged each other tightly.
After a while, General Gu picked up the person in his arms and began to tell the past, "Jin'er, when my father led the troops to attack the capital of Beisu, it was your mother who saved me in a crisis, and she entrusted you to me to take care of you before she died, you should not be a member of the royal family." ”
Gu Yunjin seemed to see hope, "Then Daddy should explain it to the emperor." ”
There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add.
General Gu smiled sadly and shook his head, "No need, it's useless." The emperor asked me to do a blood test with you on the spot, I refused, and directly said that you are the child I brought back from the battlefield, but I don't know if it is a member of the royal family, and no one can come up with definite evidence to prove whether you are or not, and the emperor will send someone to continue the investigation, but the results of the investigation will not be very optimistic......"
"Daddy, don't say it, I understand, I just hope that Daddy and the Gu family are well." Gu Yunjin's heart ached, no matter whether she could prove it or not, she couldn't get rid of this suspicion, "Daddy, do you know who reported this to the emperor?" ”
"It's Master Fu, Xiang Yingsleeve is his aunt, and she came out to testify. Xiang Yingsleeve used to serve in the Se'an Garden, where I lived with your mother, and overheard my conversation with your mother. This is a bureau set up by Master Fu a long time ago, deliberately waiting for you to give birth to a child and then expose us, so as to reduce the possibility of the palace trying to save you for the sake of the child, and he wants us to never have a chance to turn over. ”
Fragrant sleeves! Gu Yunjin forgot to cry, forgot to speak, that face flashed in front of her eyes over and over again, and hatred and regret could no longer fully express her mood at this time.
After separating from General Gu, Gu Yunjin was brought into the palace, she did not see Emperor Zhao, and the guards came to convey Emperor Zhao's will.
Gu Yunjin was given "special preferential treatment" by Emperor Zhao and was directly imprisoned in the palace.
The prison is a place where the royal family and nobles are imprisoned, and those who enter here are either dead or under house arrest for life.
On the way to the prison, Gu Yunjin met Zhao Ziheng and Fu Junyue, who had just married a few years ago.
This is the first time since Gu Yunjin and Dai Jinchao got married. Zhao Ziheng may have completely lost his heart to her, seeing that she didn't react, his eyes were indifferent, and the two never said a word, passing by.
Fu Junyue looked at Gu Yunjin's figure gradually moving away, a look of pride appeared in his eyes, and then when he saw Zhao Ziheng who had already walked away in front of him, his pride suddenly turned into jealousy. (To be continued.) )
