Steward Zhou's words refreshed Ranran's worldview, which had nothing to do with any dynasty in her memory, and even the region was unheard of by her. But still speaking the same language and writing the same language, she can only understand that it is a branch of time and space after a certain dynasty.
Today's kings, like most emperors in history, are conscientious and conscientious in governing the country, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the land is peaceful. The crown prince became established at the age of sixteen, and after that, the princes and crowns were able to receive a state, and brought their mothers and concubines to enjoy wealth and prosperity until a hundred years later, when the fief returned to the imperial court.
This is the history of Yanyun Twenty-nine Prefectures for hundreds of years, when the prince was established, the youngest Seven Kings had just been crowned. But it was this year that a turmoil made the entire peaceful government tense, and the imperial city was on guard for three months before the smoke of gunfire was quelled.
However, half a year later, the people of the world only knew that the prince was under house arrest, the third prince abandoned the seal and fled, the fourth prince hanged himself in the accommodation, and the emperor even ordered the sixth prince who was noble in his mother's family to be demoted and exiled.
Several of the sons who had made the emperor proud ended up dying and missing, and the exiled were exiled. But no one knows what happened back then, only that the emperor's temperament has changed greatly since then. All states and cities began to conduct large-scale raids, and regardless of the officials and people, men and women, those caught were all killed on the spot, and their homes were confiscated, which once shocked both inside and outside the court.
South of Qingzhou, west of Huaiyang, along Qushui until Yunshan is the territory of the Six Princes. Although the sixth prince is now deposed and exiled, the relationship between the six princes' grandmother's family, although this fief has been recovered. Compared to other state cities, it is quite peaceful.
Talking about the current situation, Steward Zhou is particularly heavy, he has been in Yuecheng with the Gu family for many years. The past has been forgotten. I thought I could spend my life in peace, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape it.
Ran Ran resisted the urge to interrupt, and patiently listened to Steward Zhou's words, "The north of Qingzhou is the fief of the second prince, and the west to Anshun is the hometown of the British duke. And the British Gongyuan and the five princes. Although the king of Qiunan in the southwest has not left the city for many years, after that incident, he is also ready to move. Steward Zhou seemed to have opened the conversation, and he had the urge to talk straight until dawn.
Halfway through speaking, Steward Zhou saw that Ran Ran was a little dizzy, and couldn't help but stop, "Do you understand?" ”
Ran Ran shook her head blankly, but after thinking about it, she nodded again, looking at Steward Zhou inexplicably.
I don't understand it. I don't understand it, I understand it, when I listen to the story, I am surprised and emotional. I didn't expect the world to be so difficult, but she also discussed no less than ten strategies with Shen Jia, and wanted to make a name for herself, maybe she should really stay in Yunshan and be a comfortable landlord's wife.
Ran Ran blinked innocently, and smiled sweetly at Steward Zhou, "Question: What does this have to do with the Gu family?" ”
Steward Zhou almost choked on her question and frowned. asked cautiously: "Don't you know that the old lady moved to Yunshan because she fell out with the second old lady." ”
Ran Ran shook her head seriously: "I don't know." ”
Steward Zhou took a deep breath and pressed the green tendons on his forehead, "You don't know about the old lady's death. ”
"Well, I know he's gone."
Carefully looked at Steward Zhou's expression. Ran Ran thought to herself that she was far away in the mountains, and she was not a local native, so it was normal to not know, could it be that Old Lady Gu was a famous man in the world, and everyone had to know about him.
Hearing this, Steward Zhou frowned a few times. The muscles on his face were a little stiff, and looking at Ranran's innocent expression, he felt like playing the piano to a cow, and he regretted it thousands of times. If he knew that Ran Ran didn't know anything, he wouldn't have talked too much and shook out so many things. The people who are in Yunshan are basically people outside Yunshan, and it is extremely troublesome to even get out of Yuecheng. Since Old Madam Gu didn't mention these things to Ranran, she must not want her to know too much and increase her troubles.
Thinking of this, Steward Zhou really wanted to bite off his tongue, if Old Madam Gu knew about it, he would definitely be counted down. Thinking of Old Madam Gu, Steward Zhou sighed heavily.
Ran Ran felt a little embarrassed, but in the spirit of breaking the casserole in everything, she decided to be cheeky and continue to ask: "Uncle Zhou, you haven't said what so many things have to do with the Gu family before, could it be that the Gu family is also involved, so you fled to Yunshan?" Or is it," thinking about it, Ran Ran's face changed suddenly, and she lowered her voice and asked, "The person who killed the Gu family is from the palace...... Not. ”
was just attracted by Ranran's exaggerated style, but he didn't expect Ranran's next sentence to almost frighten him, and immediately covered Ranran's mouth.
"Lady must not talk nonsense!" Steward Zhou looked very panicked, as if he had seen a ghost, and his voice trembled slightly: "Although it is peaceful here, it is also on the king's land in the end, and it would be terrible if it was heard." ”
Ran Ran was a little surprised, she didn't even show a look of horror in the face of so many corpses, how could she be so panicked when she mentioned the palace. Could it be that the outside world has become harsh and cruel to the point of being distorted?
She broke Steward Zhou's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little impatiently: "Then don't go around, tell me everything you know, otherwise I know so much about it, I can't help but ask people if I think too much, and it will be even worse to ask what I shouldn't ask." ”
Steward Zhou sighed helplessly, obviously defeated by Ranran, so he had to give up concealment and answer truthfully: "Hey, in fact, I don't know what else to say, in short, the old marquis was kind to the six princes before he passed away, so they remembered their kindness to shelter the Gu family and live in Yunshan." Now that the six princes are unable to protect themselves, what else can the Gu family expect from what happened outside the Moon City. ”
Ran Ran pondered for a while, and asked puzzledly, "Doesn't the second old lady care?" "After all, it is also a family, how much resentment can make the legendary Jingli Gu family sit idly by and ignore the life and death of their siblings.
Steward Zhou seemed to have heard a shocking news, and looked at Ran Ran for a long time, and then said softly: "Lady Ran, you must know that if there is no second old lady, now the old man is the Hou Ye." ”
This time it was Ranran's turn to choke, and her eyes widened in disbelief: she thought she was marrying a rich man, but she didn't expect it to be a prince, no wonder her behavior was incompatible with the people of Yunluo Village. But amazement to amazement, this has nothing to do with her, the Gu family is gone, what is the possibility.
"In other words, they all died so unjustly?"
Steward Zhou shook his head, and his tone became cautious and serious, "That's not what I said, please rest assured, when this matter is over, I will personally go to Beijing and find a way to find the old marquis's old friend back then." ”
Looking at the firelight, Steward Zhou's back was stretched tall, and Ran Ran couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how much heart she had. Even she, who has only lived with the Gu family for two years, wants to stand up for the Gu family, how can Steward Zhou sit idly by, Steward Zhou knows more than her, and naturally has more concerns.
Knowing Gu Shichang's identity and daring to kill him, Ran Ran couldn't help but feel terrible when she thought about it, and then thought that Steward Zhou desperately refused to let her go to the Gu family in Beijing for help, and her heart trembled.
"Did you guess the identity of the other party, not in the palace, and with the Hou Ye is a mortal enemy, and dare to go against the sixth prince." She really didn't want her guess to be right, but now she could only think of that person.
Steward Zhou seemed to see through Ranran's thoughts, and when his eyes met, he shook his head: "Ranran lady, I don't know, it's better not to jump to conclusions about this kind of thing." ”
"I see." (To be continued.) )
