Before Emperor Yongping invited the eldest princess to enter the palace, he also summoned Gu Shi'an, and the answer he got was, "My son's husband can only marry her alone in this life. I hope that the emperor will pity her for losing her mother since she was a child, and choose an innocent and clean husband for her......"

Emperor Yongping's face suddenly darkened.

Do you think you can't talk about it with Gu Shi'an, if you have a concubine, it's not clean?

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the eldest princess of the country, it was the same, and it was really worthy of a family.

When Emperor Yongping was thinking about how to propose to Xiao Yue, the voice of the eunuch came from outside, "The eldest princess asks to see you." ”

Emperor Yongping hurriedly let the eldest princess in, but he didn't expect the eldest princess to kneel in front of Emperor Yongping with a 'poof' as soon as she came in.

Then she told the chief historian in her mansion who was bribed, what she did, and what happened today.

Her tears rolled in her eyes, "Father, the concubine has been dead for many years, I am just a widow, but I hate them for reaching out to my house, is this to force me to death?" ”

Emperor Yongping was already furious, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such an unbelievable thing happened, and the eldest princess was implicated.

Emperor Yongping loved the eldest princess, not only because the eldest princess was his first daughter, but also because the eldest princess had a favorite person, and in order to stabilize the imperial power, he assigned her to another person.

Later, after the horse died of illness, she lived alone in the princess's mansion.

This is also the reason why he can marry Xiao Yue and Gu Nian, but he still invited Gu Shi'an and the eldest princess of the country to come over for questioning.

He didn't want to mess with the mandarin duck score, and he would be the same as the eldest princess when the time came.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not good to ask such a thing in front of the girl's house, probably he would have called Gu Nian to ask clearly.

Immediately, he called Gu Shi'an over.

Soon, Gu Shi'an was called.

"You go and find out, who is playing tricks? Check it out. ”

Gu Shi'an couldn't ask for it, even if Emperor Yongping didn't hand over the matter to him, he would find out.

Emperor Yongping said, "You have to investigate carefully, investigate carefully, and at the same time secretly investigate, I don't want to be imprisoned, but I can't let go of a bad person." You know? ”

Jin Yiwei's reputation was not good in the past, some people used their power for personal gain, and tens of thousands of people were implicated in a case, which is why Jin Yiwei could stop children from crying at night.

The previous commander was suspended because of this, this time, the matter involved Gu Nian, Emperor Yongping was afraid that Gu Shi'an would care about it, so he specially reminded him.

Gu Shi'an said respectfully, "Yes, the minister understands, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

When the eldest princess was calling Tianqu in the palace, in front of the door of the Four Princes' Mansion, after the Four Princes came out, Xiao Yue stopped his subordinates slamming the door.

The fourth prince looked at Gu Nian, who was standing next to Xiao Yue, and said to Xiao Yue, "Xiao Jiu, is there any misunderstanding?" You didn't say a word when you came to the door like this, and you smashed my palace, what do you want? ”

Xiao Yue said lazily, "I don't want to do anything, just smash it, what's the matter?" ”

The fourth prince was angry, the moment he saw Gu Nian, he knew that the matter had failed, but he didn't leave a trace at all, why did Xiao Yue come to the door.

Xiao Yue threw something over, and the fourth prince subconsciously went to catch it, and when he took it, his face suddenly changed.

It was the waist card of the palace, and he was looking at the grandmother who was thrown in the corner like a rag at the moment.

Understand that it is the matter that has been revealed.

But he couldn't admit it, and he didn't dare to admit it.

Although he didn't know what went wrong, Rong Yue clearly said that things were done very safely, and the fifth brother also said that it took him many years of hard work to collect that person.

Did Rong Yue deceive herself, or did the fifth brother deceive herself?

But now is not the time to pursue these.

"This is the waist card on my house, where did you come from?" He forced himself to calm down and asked.

Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows, "Fourth, what are you pretending?" Didn't you buy off the chief historian of the eldest sister's mansion and let him trick Gu Wu into the eldest sister's mansion, and then hide it unknowingly? ”

The fourth prince's face turned pale, and he pointed at Xiao Yue, "You don't spew blood here, let's go to see our father together and let him judge it." ”

"See whom, who's afraid of whom. But don't regret it. Xiao Yue Yin Dao.

Xiao Yue wanted to enter the palace with the four princes, even if Gu Nian was a party, it would be difficult to enter the palace without the emperor's summons, so Xiao Yue sent the guards to send people back.

Hearing that Gu Nian had an accident, the eldest princess of the protector suddenly couldn't sit still, even if the eldest princess kept emphasizing that Gu Nian was good and safe, but she didn't see anyone, where could she rest assured?

In just such a short time, the eldest princess of the protector has regretted it countless times, she feels that she is indeed a little negligent, and she used to say in Jinling that her hand could not be stretched so long.

But this time, thinking of going to the capital, I lived with myself again, in and out of the room, there were maids and women, and now there are even guards, and everyone has to give a little face, but I didn't expect it to be too big.

At the moment, he didn't care about what Emperor Yongping said, and he didn't want to pay attention to the royal conspiracy, so he said goodbye to Emperor Yongping and went home.

After Gu Nian returned home, the eldest princess of the protector pulled her to look at her, and let her go after making sure that there was no damage at all, Zhou Yuyan also blamed herself, if she had accompanied her at the beginning, even if those people would not stop making black hands, they would have to think about it more.

Gu Nian helped the eldest princess to sit down, and said with a smile, "It's just an accident, who would have thought that there would be such a bold person at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"

Because it was the Celestial Princess's Mansion, I just went, and no one expected it. She comforted the princess and Zhou Yuyan, asked Gu Shi'an, and knew that he was in the study, so she rushed to the study to see Gu Shi'an.

The Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion is an old family, covering an extremely wide area, because Gu Nian lives here, Gu Shi'an is unwilling to go back to the house given by the emperor in Liyu Hutong alone, so he simply lives in the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion for a long time.

The son-in-law is half a son, An Yuanhou has nothing to say, so he simply allocated a large courtyard for Gu Shi'an to live in, and there is a study or something inside.

As soon as Gu Nian entered Gu Shi'an's study, the cabinet was full of dense ancient books and classics, Gu Nian couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't help but approach and take a closer look.

Speaking of which, Gu Shi'an was a member of the imperial examination, but in the end he engaged in the profession of a military general.

Gu Shi'an at the desk beckoned to Gu Nian, "What's wrong?" If you have a book that you like to read, just come and get it. ”

Although he had already comforted Gu Nian when he first came back, at this moment, he still said, "Daddy knows that you have been wronged, and Daddy will definitely seek justice for you." ”

Gu Nian's heart suddenly felt a little indescribably soft, this was the best father she had ever met, and there was no father who cared about and comforted him like him before.

There will be no one who will say so justifiably that they want to help get justice.

"Daddy, I'm fine, it's the eldest princess and the fourth prince who have something to do." She said.

Gu Shi'an smiled, "Niannian, you can help Daddy sharpen ink." ”

She answered.

Gu Nian grinded ink, Gu Shi'an picked a sheep's hair pen, dipped it in thick ink, and was not in a hurry to write, but asked Gu Nian, "What do you guess Daddy wants to write?" ”

Gu Nian pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Daddy wants to write a book." ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and put down his pen, "I guessed it." ”

Gu Nian stood quietly on the side and didn't disturb him.

When Gu Shi'an finished writing, he took away the paperweight and blew it, "Niannian, look at what Daddy wrote?" ”

He has never been involved in his daughter's growth, and he doesn't even know his daughter's preferences.

Just like just now, when Gu Nian was grinding ink, he was not in a hurry or slow, and the ink he grinded out was very much in line with his heart.

Gu Nian looked at the words on the paper carefully, everyone's style is very different, she looked at it for a while, and said softly, "Daddy, do you have anything to worry about?" ”

She frowned slightly, "Xingshu pays attention to the connection of blood, the muscles and bones are old and healthy, and the wind is sprinkled, but Daddy probably thinks about it, and when he writes, he moves as he likes." ”

Although Gu Nian did not exaggerate, just a few simple words, which surprised Gu Shi'an.

He really knows very little about his daughter!

His daughter was so good that he felt his hands tremble slightly.

He thought of Jing Ning, A-Ning, you see.

Your daughter is really like you.

His daughter, not only her beautiful appearance, but also her demeanor are the same as Jing Ning.

There is poetry and writing in the belly.

Gu Nian was embarrassed, stepped forward and shook Gu Shi'an's sleeve, and said, "There is no day that can be done with the affairs of the court, since you have returned home, don't think about the trivial things that you are worried about." ”

Gu Shi'an shook his head, the affairs of the court are not bothering, the saint is the Ming monarch today, and the court is now peaceful except for the dispute between the four princes and the prince.

His heart matter, there is Gu Nian's grievances, and there is another thing that Emperor Yongping revealed that he wants to give Gu Nian a marriage, and the candidate is still that kind of person, how can Gu Shi'an not be bothered?

It's just that he can't tell his daughter about such things.

He thought that he still had time to get along with his daughter, and he had been thinking about finding a good son-in-law for his daughter, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

*

A few days later, Gu Shi'an still had no results, and the four princes who had been ordered by the emperor to think about it behind closed doors at home handed over an excerpt first.

In the excerpt, he frankly admitted that he was a subordinate in his own house, and he heard that he wanted to admit Gu Nian into the mansion, so in order to please the four princes, he bought off the chief historian of the eldest princess, and conspired to trick Gu Nian into the eldest princess's mansion, and then wanted to fascinate Gu Nian unconsciously, and then secretly hid outside, and waited for the rumor to pass, and then gave it to the four princes.

The four princes were heartbroken and repentant in the fold, and they couldn't even hold the people who came to them, let alone the important envoys of the national court.

He is not worthy of the title of 'acting king', and at the same time, because he is implicated in the eldest princess, he will punish him if he wants to punish him, whether he is cut down or demoted to a concubine, he will accept his fate.

When Emperor Yongping received the excerpt from the four princes, he believed that it was not the four princes, and at the same time asked Gu Shi'an to stop the investigation.

Gu Shi'an really can't check it here.

It is extremely easy to hide evidence in such a thing, and nothing can be found at all.

On the same day, he arrested the maids and mothers-in-law involved in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and sent his men to track down the whereabouts of the chief historian of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

The maid and the mother-in-law were interrogated separately, and the unanimous confession was what the chief historian ordered them to make.

As for what poison or something, they didn't know at all.

Although the chief historian is different from the housekeeper of the first mansion, he is in charge of most of the affairs of the princess's mansion, so it is not surprising that the maids and mothers-in-law listen to him.

In the evening of the same day, Gu Shi'an's subordinates found the chief historian, but it was only a corpse, because the carriage overturned when he fled, and the flesh and blood were found under the cliff.

Not far from his corpse, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were scattered.

The source of everything is the chief historian, and now that he is dead, the clue is broken, and those gold and silver can just match the 'buyout' said on the fold of the four princes.

The subordinate of the Four Princes' Mansion also committed suicide in fear of guilt after confessing.

With such a result, Gu Nian didn't look surprised at all, she said to the princess of the protector, "Politics is compromise and checks and balances. I understand that. ”

What happened to her here, if not implicating the eldest princess, was a very small matter.

It's just that she didn't expect the four princes to throw out such a small person as a substitute for the dead, which is too much.

Where did a subordinate get so much gold and silver treasure to buy a long historian? Although the wealth is moving, although the chief historian is only in charge of the princess's mansion, it is also sealed by the imperial court and eats the imperial grain.

There is also the eldest princess who is very loved by Emperor Yongping, and there are many people who ask her to do things.

But His Majesty Emperor Yongping believed in the excerpts of the four princes very much, not only asked Gu Shi'an not to investigate, but also appeased the eldest princess, saying that not only did the four princes not take a good look at the subordinates, but the eldest princess also did not take a good look at the subordinates.

However, the main thing is that the four princes are not good, let the four princes apologize to the eldest princess, and let the four princes apologize to the eldest princess, and the matter will be revealed.

The eldest princess looked sad, back then, she worked hard to defend the throne of Emperor Yongping, just to live a stable life, for which she lived in seclusion in Jinling for decades, and her husband lost his life for this.

Now, her granddaughter can't even get justice.

She thought that two days ago, Xiao Yue found her and begged her to marry Niannian, but she didn't agree at that time.

Later, Gu Shi'an calmly said to her, "Xiao Yue has looked for me. ”

The princess of the protector was in her heart, and her movements were fast enough.

It can be seen that he is sad, and in this way, the eldest princess is even more worried.

She picked up the teacup and said, "What did he say to you?" ”

"He begged me to marry him Niannian." Gu Shi'an said slowly.

The corners of the eldest princess's mouth sank and stared at Gu Shi'an, "You agreed?" ”

Gu Shi'an said, "I said I had to think about it." ”

The eldest princess of the protector lowered her face, "You just told me that you want to find a simple family background for Niannian, and it is best to be able to get rich." How does this become something to consider? ”

"I thought you had ignored Nian Nian for more than ten years, but now your conscience has found out and you want to be good to her, but it turns out that it's just that."

Gu Shi'an smiled, "Mother-in-law, don't be angry first, let me talk about it in detail." ”

"Say it." She wanted to hear how Xiao Yue persuaded Gu Shi'an.

"Xiao Yue and I are honest that he will only miss one in the future." When Gu Shi'an heard Xiao Yue say this, he asked Xiao Yue why he believed it.

Xiao Yue asked rhetorically, why he could still be single-minded even after his wife had been gone for so many years.

Gu Shi'an was dumbfounded, not all men are greedy and lustful, although there are many temptations, but if a man is unwilling, others can't force him.

Xiao Yue is not a heavy color, it's just that how does he take a fancy to Niannian.

The Protector sneered, "That's what convinced you?" ”

Gu Shi'an shook his head, of course not.

"Mother-in-law, maybe if you want to marry someone else, you will probably have an easier life."

"Definitely!" The eldest princess of the protector picks thorns, what is called probably, it is certain.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Xiao Yue is from the prince's faction, and now the battle between the prince and the four princes in the court is about to be put on the surface.

Who knows if it will be the prince's handiwork?

Gu Shi'an was helpless, and he was as kind as a streamer, "But, mother-in-law, don't forget the four princes." ”

The eldest princess of the protector of the country had a darker face, but she did not refute it, Emperor Yongping's attitude towards the four princes and the crown prince was clearly different, and I don't know when the edict of the abolished prince was announced to the world.

If Nian Nian marries an ordinary person, when the time comes, it will really be the fourth prince who will take the throne, and will he really be able to protect Nian Nian?

It is not unheard of in the past when the wife of a courtier is brought into the palace, and there has never been a thing again.

But Xiao Yue is different, he holds the royal secret guard in his hand, and he can have the ability to protect himself no matter what.

"Xiao Yue is the prince's line, what if the prince is defeated by then?" The Protector Princess asked.

Gu Shi'an raised his eyebrows, his eyes were shining, "Then let the prince not be defeated, you were able to defend the current position, and now, I can also make the prince's position stable and sit in that supreme position in the future." ”

"This is much more stable than the path you took back then, after all, now the prince has the upper hand in terms of fame."

"And, you'll help me too, right?"

However, the eldest princess did not let go, she was silent for a while, and said that she wanted to take another look, Gu Shi'an didn't want to marry her daughter so soon, and she could test Xiao Yue, so she acquiesced.

*

Gu Nian had a dream, in which she was weak but very conscious.

She heard a man say angrily, "You don't want to die, this little girl is not simple at home, do you really believe that the poor family can't survive and sells their daughter?" ”

Another voice replied, "Just make money, look at these jade pendants on her body, just this one bead flower can be sold for a lot of money, and then look at this face, don't some people like such a fresh little girl?"

This girl's father didn't ask for a penny, and gave it to us, just hoping that she could live. ”

Gu Nian only felt that the hand on her face was greasy and cool, she wanted to dodge but she couldn't use any strength, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

"If you want to die, don't bother me."

"Dead fart, sold for money, let's change places, Dongli is so big, where can't you live if you have money? Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. ”

The companion was persuaded, and Gu Nian was wrapped in a cloak, but it was as if he was being put in a place where he could not see his fingers.

She tried to ask for help, but her mouth seemed to be glued together, and she couldn't make a sound.

After a long time, she heard the screams, and then she fell into a warm embrace, which made people feel inexplicably reassured.

After the peace of mind, there was a strong smell of blood, and she heard a rough voice muttering, "Damn, you dare to hurt the master's hand." ”

She wanted to turn her head to look at her master's face, but before she could turn her head, a rough voice sounded again, "Don't move." ”

She froze, as if frightened.

After that, she was weightless, and then she went to the backyard of the Gu family in the sound of the whirring wind.

When he woke up, Gu Nian patted the quilt, annoyed that he couldn't see the face of his life-saving benefactor clearly.

She knew it wasn't a dream, it was a memory from her childhood.

Although the astragalus drug only suppressed the toxins in her body and did not spread, it also made her slowly remember many things.

Back then, she was lost when she and Mrs. Yu went to incense, and Mama Chen once said that it was not lost, but deliberately by the Gu family.

From what I heard in my dream, this is indeed the case, if it is really to sell the child, will it not cost a penny? So what else is it selling?

The boy who saved her killed both traffickers and threw them at the entrance of the yamen.

Gu Nian was very frustrated, and finally remembered it, but he didn't see the appearance of his benefactor.

This frustration made her not even interested in going to the countryside to escape the heat.

The eldest princess of the protector thought that there were too many things that happened in the capital during this time, and she also wanted her to stay away from Xiao Yue, so she took her and Zhou Yuyan to escape the summer outside the city in advance.

In the carriage, Gu Nian leaned lazily on the carriage, talking to Astragalus and A Jing, but the carriage slowed down suddenly, and Astragalus opened the curtain and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?" How did the carriage stop? ”

Uncle Yang, the driver driving in front, said, "County Lord, there is a young man on the side of the road, with many wounds on his body and a lot of blood......

He couldn't make up his mind, so he stopped the carriage and asked his master.

The carriage in front of the princess and Zhou Yuyan also stopped, and a maid came over to ask what was wrong.

Ah Jing jumped down and talked to the maid.

Gu Nian lifted the curtain and looked at it, and there was a thin young man next to the bushes and grass on the side of the road, dressed shabby, with blurred flesh and blood on his body, and he couldn't tell his age, he was afraid that he was just a teenager, and his face was dirty.

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but thinking that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, she has indeed been very unlucky recently.

She said, "Uncle Yang, please pick this man up in the empty carriage behind, and then send someone to send him back to the city to find the doctor." ”

Uncle Yang should be good, jumped out of the carriage and easily picked up the young man, Gu Nian had not yet put down the bead curtain, and saw that although the young man's face was dirty, he was born well, and he looked like a young man from a rich and noble family.

Uncle Yang put the boy in the empty car behind, and asked a servant to drive the car back to the city to send the boy to the hospital to be settled.

The eldest princess sent a maid over to ask about the situation, and Gu Nian simply asked Astragalus to follow her to explain the situation.

After Gu Nian's originally unhappy mood arrived in the village, after seeing the scenery in the village, the haze in his heart all dissipated.

There is a large lotus pond in Zhuangzi, looking at it from afar, spreading to the distance, a piece of verdant green, in the verdant green, you can occasionally see the pink, white flowers poke out of the head, bring some different scenery to the hot summer.

As the sun sets, the sunset on the horizon is halomed, and the glow is sprinkled on the huge lotus leaves, putting on a layer of glow for the dark green lotus leaves.

Gu Nian is lost in such a landscape.

For the young man she picked up on the road, she told Uncle Yang to take good care of it, so she didn't ask again.

More than a month later, Uncle Yang asked Astragalus to relay, "County Lord, the young man's body is almost raised, he said that he is a great grace and does not say thank you, he remembers the girl's warmth, and he will repay the girl's kindness in the future, and the young man has left." ”

He didn't say anything, Gu Niandu almost forgot that he had saved the young man, and couldn't help asking, "Is his injury all healed?" ”

Huang Qi said, "I have recovered, and when I was sent to the hospital, the injury was extremely serious, and it took almost a month to recover." ”

Gu Nian thought about saving people, it must be good to be able to save people, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, "I know, I don't want anything in return for saving him, just go." ”

It's just that she didn't expect that because of this young man, it would bring such a big storm to Gu Shi'an and her, she moved out of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and Gu Shi'an was put in prison by Emperor Yongping......
