In the twilight of summer, Lord Qi received an order to go to Dancheng on the outskirts of Beijing to be the governor.

Dancheng is not a state city, although the level is lower than that of Liangzhou, but it is an important place in the suburbs of Beijing, and the development of officials' careers is better, and the people of Qi are very happy.

And Mrs. Qi also stopped her marriage with the Lin family on the grounds that she was reluctant to leave her daughter alone at the border pass.

The order was issued, and the Qi family had to leave Liangzhou before Gu Huanyi.

Gu Huanyi said goodbye to Qi Zhilan and said, "I will go to my grandmother's house for the New Year before the end of the year, and I will pass by Dancheng and visit you again." ”

Qi Zhilan faintly felt that her father's transfer might have something to do with her, but she felt that it was unlikely, where did she have such power and access?

She didn't say anything more, and after agreeing with Gu Huanyi about the reunion, she left with her family.

Send Qi Zhilan away, and soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year.

Gu Huanyi received a gift from Li Congxin again, but this time the gift was sent in the name of the Ming Palace, which made Gu Huanyi extremely surprised.

Her marriage with Li Congxin has not progressed, and the situation in Dijing is complicated, and she thought that things would drag on for a longer time.

It was a Zhu steward from the Ming Palace, who came to give the gift, and Liu Pei was by his side and met Gu Huanyi together.

The festival gifts of the Ming Wangfu were very valuable, and they were loaded with two large cars.

Such a battle is enough to show attention.

Gu Huanyi saw the people of the Ming Wangfu for the first time, and dealt with it very seriously, for fear that he would fall into the ears of the Ming King.

Seeing that she was so worried, Liu Pei comforted her in private: "Miss rest assured, Steward Zhu is a servant, you are the master, you don't have to be like this." ”

Gu Huanyi said: "After all, it is the steward sent by the prince. ”

In the final analysis, Gu Huanyi is still lacking in confidence.

Gu Huanyi hadn't seen Li Congxin for half a year, and the situation in the capital was tense due to the prince's illness and death, and the communication between the two had decreased a lot.

She often remembered the agreement between the two in the Righteous Ancestral Hall, and often felt that it was not true, and even began to waver, hesitating whether to move to the imperial capital.

If she passed like this, it would be as if she had made a special trip to find Li Congxin and force him to fulfill his promise, but it wasn't until someone came from the Ming Palace's mansion this time that she felt a little relieved and knew that Li Congxin's mind had not changed.

After properly sending the housekeeper of the Ming Palace's mansion away, Gu Huanyi began to work on the matter of entering Beijing.

Wang Sheng has already helped her pick a house, Song Zhengrui and Liu Pei have helped to see it, the location is quiet, it is a safe house, everything is very good, although Gu Huanyi has not seen it, she is very relieved that these people are doing things.

Gu Huanyi arranged for Miao Mama, Song Ping, and Song An's three families to follow her into Beijing, but the house in Liangzhou was still kept, and other old servants were sent to stay behind, and she would come back to worship her ancestors every year in the future.

Wang Sheng worked carefully, and when he learned that Gu Huanyi was about to leave, he sent two girls, Xingyun and Xingqing, back to pick her up, and reported to Gu Huanyi some of the things they had done in the imperial capital.

Gu Huan went out smoothly, but when she left Liangcheng, she began to change routes, planning to go to her grange and shop to inspect by the way.

She set off at the end of August, walking all the way to stop and stop, twisting and turning, walking more than 10 Zhuangzi and dozens of shops, checking the harvest, business, condolences to the stewards and servants, four or five days of journey, she walked for more than a month, until mid-October, she arrived in Dancheng on the outskirts of Beijing.

Gu Huanyi remembered the previous agreement to visit Qi Zhilan when passing by Dancheng.

The two haven't seen each other for a few months, and their lives have changed dramatically.

Qi Zhilan talked about the recent events in Dancheng, Gu Huanyi talked about the things on the road and the plan to enter Beijing, and there was no end to the two talking about their daily routines.

chatting and chatting, he talked far away, mentioning the recent boiling things in the capital.

Qi Zhilan said to her: "You were fortunate not to have wronged yourself to be a concubine for the prince of Xian, but I heard that Concubine Zhen was pregnant, and the matter of the heir was put on hold." ”

Gu Huanyi has been on the road for more than a month, and he didn't inquire about the news of the capital, so he couldn't help but show a surprised look.

"Really? How do you know about the things in the palace? ”

Qi Zhilan blushed and said: "Since I arrived in Dancheng, my mother has been walking around, wanting to tell me about good family affairs, and there are not a few officials and relatives who have made friends, I heard about it from the mouth of a minister and official in King Jian's mansion, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

Gu Huanyi said: "This is fortunate that there is no step-heir, if there is an heir, and the mother is pregnant, then the heir will be too embarrassing." ”

Qi Zhilan nodded and agreed: "Exactly, this is also the good luck of the prince of Xian, otherwise he and Concubine Zhen don't know how to get along." ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head, Li Chengxu's big dream was frustrated, and it is estimated that the relationship with Concubine Zhen is not good now.

She thought of Li Congxin again.

Fortunately, he didn't agree to be the heir last year, otherwise he would be embarrassed at this time.

Li Congxin once explained her, saying that the harem ladies are in good health, and it is possible to get pregnant again, and the emperor's heir is just a bait.

He really said it.

Gu Huanyi was concerned about Qi Zhilan's marriage again, Qi Zhilan said depressedly: "My luck is too bad, my mother has seen one or two, and there have been accidents one after another, and my mother is now cautious and cautious, for fear of marrying me to the wrong person." ”

"How can there be accidents one after another?"

Lord Qi is a five-grade magistrate, and Mrs. Qi will say goodbye to her daughter, and she must be the right person.

The Wupin official said that it was not big, but it was not small to say that it was not small, and it was not common for accidents to occur one after another.

Qi Zhilan whispered to her: "The prince died of illness in July, but the emperor has not issued an edict on what to do with the funeral, and now the corpse is still in the Zongren Mansion." Many ministers pleaded for the crown prince and asked the emperor to move the prince into the imperial mausoleum, but it angered the emperor, and many people were demoted. The man my mother showed me was among them. ”

Gu Huanyi's face sank, Li Yuhe was a sinner through the ages, how could he move into the imperial tomb?

The emperor allowed him to die of illness, and he has not revealed his crimes so far, which is already cheap for him.

"There must be a reason for the emperor's attitude." Gu Huanyi couldn't tell Qi Zhi Lanming.

Qi Zhilan echoed: "At first, I thought that the emperor was too sad and couldn't bear the death of the prince, so he kept delaying it, but now, there must be other reasons. ”

Even in the boudoir, Qi Zhilan still lowered her voice and whispered in Gu Huanyi's ear: "I heard that the prince's illness is not normal, it seems that he died of inhaling cold ice." If it is true, the emperor will definitely investigate and punish a large number of people for burial, and I don't know how many people will be implicated at that time. Now the people in the capital are panicking, after you go, you have to be more careful. ”

Gu Huanyi nodded slowly, even Qi Zhilan had heard about it, it seemed that the situation in the imperial capital was indeed tense enough.

"Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, the heavy land of Gyeonggi will be walking on thin ice."

The two talked a lot, and Qi Zhilan left her at home for dinner, and it wasn't until night fell that Gu Huanyi returned to the inn where she stayed.

Walking into the store, she couldn't help but stagnate, and subconsciously held the hand of Mama Miao, who was accompanying her.

The inn lobby is brightly lit, but empty!
