Chapter 41: Changing Faces

When he returned to the East Palace after a few months, Gu Zhikai, who was about to leave, was being pulled by Xiao Dezi at this time, crying and laughing.

Xiao Dezi got the news that the prince was still alive this morning, and he was very happy, and he cleaned up the East Palace properly, waiting for the prince to come back.

Who knew that it was about to be noon, but he heard the little eunuch in the front hall tell him in a panic that the prince was no longer the prince, and he was about to move out of the East Palace.

He was so frightened that he even threw the porcelain in his hand on the ground.

The person who hasn't seen him for a few months is now going out of the palace, how difficult it is for him to go out of the palace once as a eunuch, where can he see his master every day?

"The slave doesn't care, if the prince doesn't take the slave, the slave will die in the palace immediately."

Xiao Dezi said hoarsely, grabbed Gu Zhikai's trouser legs with both hands, and kept wiping his moving tears on them.

Gu Zhikai looked at Xiao Dezi and also looked at the entire familiar East Palace, couldn't help laughing, and helped Xiao Dezi up.

Said extremely gently: "Little Dezi, I know that you are really good to me, and you are reluctant to let me go, but there will always be a time of parting in this life, and you have to learn to accept it." ”

He gently swiped his hand over Xiao Dezi's nose, as if he was extremely familiar with himself, like a relative, and helped Xiao Dezi wipe away the tears and snot on his face.

Seeing that Xiao Dezi was still reluctant to let go, Gu Zhikai had no choice but to say: "Xiao Dezi, you wait in the palace, and when the master and I come back, you will go to Shangyang Palace to serve." ”

"Master!" Xiao Dezi looked at his master in surprise, he knew that Shangyang Palace was the emperor's bedroom, Gu Zhikai said this, proving that the heart in his heart that wanted to fight was still there.

Xiao Dezi immediately wiped his tears, let go of Gu Zhikai's legs, and said righteously: "As the personal eunuch of the master, Xiao Dezi believes that the master will definitely stay in Shangyang Palace one day!" ”

The impassioned little dezi who was originally talking suddenly began to cry again when he saw Gu Zhikai packing up his things.

He followed behind Gu Zhikai, and kept chattering, the master is out, remember to tell the people who serve you, you don't drink cold water, don't eat spicy, don't ......

As he spoke, he couldn't help but say: "The slaves are really afraid that they will not serve their masters well, what if the master is sick?" ”

Gu Zhikai's originally smiling face was also moistened by Xiao Dezi's words.

At first, when Xiao Dezi first came to him, he didn't dare to say a word.

The plate had to shake three times, he regarded Xiao Dezi as a playmate at that time, and then, when there were more people in contact, he ignored Xiao Dezi who had been following him.

He never knew that he didn't know himself, but he would remember it so clearly, as if he would remember every word of his own.

It's just that he has to leave the palace, and Meng Mu is right.

He struggled in the position of the crown prince, and the last person who was injured must be his own prince.

For the sake of his position as the crown prince, he is unwilling to let the Taifu who has been protecting him go against the entire court.

He is not a child of those years old, he thinks he can protect his concubine, so he said to Meng's mother that he would not want the position of prince and change the title of prince.

"Little Dezi, you must pay attention to many times in the palace, no matter who you serve in the future, remember that you must be attentive, heart for heart, you believe, the master will come to welcome you in a few years."

"Xiao Dezi believes that when Xiao Dezi was young, he knew that my master was smart, and you must take care of yourself, master."

The master and servant said a few more words, but they heard a cough at the door.

Yucheng smiled and asked, "Zhikai! ”

Gu Zhikai greeted him and said gratefully: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your help today." ”

Yucheng smiled, patted Gu Zhikai's hand, looked at Gu Zhikai with more and more profound eyes, pointed to the seat over there and said, "Let the old slave sit down first, and I have something to tell you." ”

And after Yucheng sat down, he looked at Gu Zhikai, was silent for a long time, took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Gu Zhikai.

The letter reads - My son personally opened.

Gu Zhikai looked at Yucheng, and seemed to have doubts in his heart, why his father would leave such two letters and Yucheng after his death.

He was in a hurry to open it, but Yucheng stopped him.

"This emperor gave me a total of two letters, one signed by King Qi, that is, the current emperor, and the other is this, which is for you." Yucheng paused and said slowly: "However, the former emperor who gave it to King Qi said that it was opened immediately, and you will not open this letter until the day you ascend the throne." ”

Gu Zhikai looked at Yucheng puzzled, as he meant by this, it means that the emperor had long known about King Qi's forced palace.

"As my father-in-law said, my father had expected such an ending a long time ago?" Gu Zhikai asked, Yucheng didn't talk, just smiled: "Put the letter away, don't ask anything else." ”

"Qing'er, let's go!"

Yucheng called the little girl, and the little girl helped him and left.

As for the rest of Gu Zhikai, he was anxious to open the envelope to see what was going on, but in the end he still stopped it.

I packed up my things, put them in a position and lay down on the bed.

He may have to wait a few more days.

Wait for the house outside the palace to be cleaned up, and wait for everyone to move into the East Palace.

It's just that the person who moved into the East Palace is probably going to shed a trace of blood.

And Meng Fan, who had just walked out of the palace, looked at Meng Mu for a long time, but they didn't say a word.

Li Yu looked at it and lowered his head and didn't speak.

After a while, Uncle Meng rushed over in a hurry and said, "What's the matter, how did I hear that the prince is back and has been deposed." ”

As he spoke, Mother Meng and Meng Fan had not spoken to him, and Uncle Meng was even more anxious.

Turned around and asked Meng Fan, "Your mother doesn't speak, why don't you say, tell me about it." ”

"Uncle, ask Mother! I don't know about this prince. ”

Meng Fan said and left directly.

Uncle Meng screamed a few times, but he didn't see her look back.

"How did you provoke her again, I don't know if he is stubborn, and he still works with him."

"It's not because of her yet, it's because of our Meng family."

Uncle Meng saw that the mother and son had indeed lost their persuasion, and pulled Meng's mother into the carriage, and did not speak again.

And in the next few days, first Gu Zhikai moved out of the East Palace, and then there was a battle between Concubine Li and the queen in the palace.

The queen emphasized that her child Gu Zhiqi was the eldest son and grandson, and according to ancient rules, only her own son ascended the throne was orthodox.

However, Concubine Li saw Gu Zhiqi's incompleteness of mind and kept saying some difficult words to Gu Zhiqi.

But at these times, on the contrary, Gu Zhikai, who had been on the cusp before, got a trace of peace.

Dedicated to the royal palace

"Master, the palace has come down."

When Gu Zhikai heard this, he put down the paintbrush in his hand and said, "Please come in yet." ”

In less than a while, Gu Zhiyu walked in, because of the opportunity for the two to go out together, they are now very familiar with each other.

It's more like a brother than those two brothers.

"You've been living a quiet life these days, and you can't even go to court." Gu Zhiyu held the wine in his hand, sat on the ground as soon as he came, and said with a smile: "Why do you paint that again, don't you want to think about how to persuade your master?" ”

Gu Zhikai flicked his brush and said with a smile: "You still laugh at me, I heard that Concubine Yong has helped the queen a lot in the palace." ”

Gu Zhiyu couldn't help but smile.

His mother is indeed like this, although he knows that his mother is paving the way for him, but he still feels that his mother's idea is not good.
