Chapter 111: The Bright Moon Descends the West Building
It's so late, and it's in Yongxiang, who else will come to her? An Su immediately became vigilant, something like that happened during the day, maybe it was the killer of Princess Lu Yuan's faction. She found a sturdy stick in the room, walked gently to the door, then took a deep breath and slammed the door open.
But there was no one outside, not even a trace of wind, and An Su looked left and right several times, but it was indeed no one. She sighed, after all, she was suspicious. But just as he was about to close the door and go in, his eyes caught a sight of a bowl at the door, which contained a white and fat steamed bun.
An Su stared at the bowl for a while, then broke the steamed bun and took a closer look, finally breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face softened, and the corners of his mouth even unconsciously raised a slight smile. This must have been secretly sent by Chu Ruo, she was worried about An Su, and she couldn't talk to her openly, so she helped her in this way.
An Su sat in the house chewing steamed buns, but she didn't know that there were people outside running for her. Gu Wenzhou guessed that she would not have dinner after she went back, and this method was often used in the palace to deal with palace people who made mistakes, and he had seen many of them. So as soon as I went back, I prepared some food and thought about secretly sending it to her.
But Yongxiang surrounds the entire harem, although it is not big, but it is the longest, and it is even more difficult to find a palace person to live in. Gu Wenzhou walked to the small hole where he had asked someone to take care of An Su last time, and knocked a few times tentatively, but no one answered inside.
"Gu Xiangshi, you are really here."
As soon as Gu Wenzhou stood up, he remembered a female voice behind him. He turned his head and saw the rumor beside the Queen Mother.
"Gu Xiangshi don't worry, Miss Shangguan won't have anything to do inside, the Queen Mother will order everything." Hu Yu waved his hand to Gu Wenzhou, "The Queen Mother has an order, and she also asks Gu Xiangshi to go to Changle Palace with the slave maid." ”
"The Queen Mother wants to see me?" Gu Wenzhou felt a little strange, at this time, he sent someone to Yongxiang to find him, naturally it would not be to let him go to divination, "Dare to ask this grandmother, is Princess Lu Yuan in Changle Palace?" ”
The rumors are unknown, but they just said truthfully: "Although the princess entered the palace today, she did not go to Changle Palace to meet the queen mother. ”
"That's very good, then I'll go with Mama!"
When Gu Wenzhou arrived at Changle Palace, Hu Yu took him to the side hall first. The Queen Mother was not here, but there was a little boy standing in the hall, who looked to be eight or nine years old. He timidly looked at Gu Wenzhou who walked in, and even involuntarily took a step back.
"What does Gu Xiangshi think of this kid?" The voice of the Queen Mother sounded behind him.
Gu Wenzhou turned around and saluted, and asked bluntly: "I don't know why the Queen Mother called her ministers over at this hour?" ”
The Queen Mother raised her head at the child: "It's for him." ”
"What's different about this kid?" Gu Wenzhou was puzzled.
The Queen Mother smiled; "Gu Xiangshi takes a closer look, doesn't he think this kid looks like a person?"
At this time, Songhe had already added several lamps in the partial electric hall, and Gu Wenzhou was finally able to see the child's appearance clearly, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he turned back and asked the Queen Mother: "Is it Ansu?" ”
"Yes, the mourning family sent someone to investigate An Su's life experience, and learned that she lost a younger brother before entering the palace, and she entered the palace to find her younger brother." The Queen Mother looked at the child with a smile, "Gu Xiangshi has been in Qinghe County for a while, he must have seen Shangguan Shaojun, let's see, is this kid him?" ”
"It's not." Gu Wenzhou replied very neatly.
"Oh? Why? Don't you think he looks alike to Ansu? ”
"The minister is a minister, so he can naturally calculate it." Gu Wenzhou once gave Shangguan Shaojun's whereabouts a hexagram, knowing that he was not in the palace. But in order to conform to An Su's phoenix fate, he could only trick her into entering the palace, which was also an unspeakable secret in his heart.
"It's the mourning family who forgot that Gu Xiangshi's magical powers are vast." The Queen Mother smiled shyly, and said with a straight face, "Gu Xiangshi understands, but An Su doesn't know, if she sees this child, she will definitely recognize him as her lost brother." ”
"The minister doesn't understand what the queen mother means."
"Shangguan Ansu is useful to the mourning family, so the mourning family has to hold a handle that can make her obedient, and this child is it."
"What does the Queen Mother want An Su to do?" Gu Wenzhou blurted out and asked.
"The mourning family guessed right, you really have a deep love for her." The Queen Mother said bluntly, "If you look at this matter as a bystander, you will definitely ask the mourning family first, this matter has nothing to do with you, why did the mourning family talk about it with you, but you subconsciously asked Shangguan Ansu." ”
Gu Wenzhou knew that the Queen Mother was a smart person and a powerful person, so he simply admitted: "Yes, the minister is indeed happy." ”
"So the mourning family called you over because they wanted you to help the mourning family persuade An Su to do this for the mourning family." The Queen Mother said very tactfully.
"Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear."
"The love between you and An Su is in the eyes of the mourning family, and she believes in you very much. If even you say that this child is her brother, then she will be convinced. ”
"The Queen Mother, the minister is a minister, and he won't help fool others, not only Ansu, but no one." Even in the face of the Queen Mother, Gu Wenzhou refused very simply.
"The mourning family is not letting you lie to her, but knowing that you can see that this child is not her younger brother, if Gu Xiangshi can keep this secret and not tell her the truth, it will be the greatest help to the mourning family."
"The minister still wants to ask, what does the Queen Mother want An Su to do?" Gu Wenzhou thought that she needed to use hostages to control her, and this matter must be extraordinary.
A trace of hesitation flashed on the queen mother's face, but she finally spoke: "Now the power of the princes and kings has improved a lot more than before, if they continue to grow, they will definitely be eyeing Chang'an." In this way, war is inevitable, and when the time comes, the lives of the people will be in shambles, and the lives of the people will be in shambles. Therefore, the mourning family wants to send some clever palace maids to the major princes and kings as family members, so that they can pass on the news to the mourning family as fine works. Once there is an abnormality in the fiefdom, the mourning family can know in time and suppress the ambitions of those princes and kings. ”
"Does the Queen Mother want An Su to go to the vassal states to do fine work?" Gu Wenzhou was a little incredulous.
"Yes, Ansu is very smart and can endure hardships, he is really a rare candidate." The Queen Mother's words changed, "The mourning family knows that you are happy with each other, but it is also related to the country's social affairs, and it is also appropriate to give up the small and take care of the big." ”
"If the Queen Mother wants An Su to go to the vassal states, she should ask her what she thinks, and the ministers can't make decisions for her." Gu Wenzhou said in a deep voice, "However, Yichen's understanding of An Su, she must be unwilling." ”
"Of course the mourning family knows, so they found this child, and I just hope that Gu Xiangshi will not tell her the truth."
Gu Wenzhou's face was very gloomy, and in the end, he only said lightly: "The minister retired." ”
The Queen Mother sighed, and Gu Wenzhou did not give her a positive or negative answer, which made the Queen Mother feel a rare apprehension. It's been a long time since she's experienced this feeling in all these years, and the feeling that the final outcome of this kind of thing is in someone else's hands makes her feel very uncomfortable.
The Queen Mother knew that if she crossed Gu Wenzhou and brought it directly to An Su towards the child, she would definitely mistake it for her younger brother, but once she told Gu Wenzhou about it, with his vast divination skills, she would definitely detect that the child was not her younger brother. When the time comes, to put it bluntly, there is no room for turning around now, so the Queen Mother took a risk and informed him of the matter first, expecting Gu Wenzhou to have the world in his heart, and in order to prevent the people of Li from suffering, he can give up his small and big care.
After Gu Wenzhou returned to the Changting Palace, his mind was still a little confused, he was naturally reluctant to settle down, but what the Queen Mother said was also reasonable. Over the years, he has traveled around the world, seen too many people's sufferings, and the people have been displaced, and he once thought in his heart that if he had the opportunity, he must return to a peaceful and prosperous world in the world. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he had to hesitate.
The overwhelming irritability surged into his mind, and Gu Wenzhou suddenly wanted to calculate a hexagram, which was to test whether those princes and kings would attack Chang'an. A friend of his once said that divination should be cautious, especially when it comes to the fortune of the country, because if you know where there will be wars and which people will be displaced, but you can't help them, you will be tortured endlessly.
Gu Wenzhou has always been cautious, and the hexagram related to the fortune of the country has only been used by An Su once, and it was measured by mistake. It's just that today, he wants to get another glimpse of Providence. He slowly closed his eyes and began to follow his own thoughts.
Time passed slowly, and after a while, Gu Wenzhou suddenly opened his eyes. His face was full of shock, and his hands trembled involuntarily, and from this moment he knew that it was impossible for An Su to stay by his side.
War is certain, a hundred years after the Queen Mother, the power is scattered, and the young emperor can't control the princes and kings. They led their troops one after another, competing for the position in the Weiyang Palace for various reasons, and finally those old ministers finally succumbed to the knees of the acting king Liu Heng and welcomed him to Chang'an as the new emperor.
Yes, one of these princes will be the future emperor, and An Su will be his queen.
Gu Wenzhou smiled, but clenched his fists again. He should be happy, the hexagram he made is true, Ansu is indeed the fate of the phoenix, and he will enter the Jiaofang Palace in the future, and live with Liu Heng, the acting king.
But there was always a dull pain in his heart, as if a pair of hands were desperately tearing his heart, and it was like someone choking his throat, making him sullen and breathless. Ansu's smile kept shaking in her head, her voice, her eyebrows, every moment she was with him was enough to stop his heart beating.
Gu Wenzhou was silent for a long time, and suddenly punched the wall, and the blood fell down his fingers, converging into the shape of a butterfly on the ground.
