At night, when Mama Miao brought hot water to Gu Huanyi to soak her feet, she whispered to her: "I heard Xingqing say that Mama Zhou persuaded Mama Wu to be more relaxed with you during dinner, saying that Miss is the person named by the prince of Ming Wang, and she can't be offended." But Mama Wu said that the prince of the world is difficult to protect himself at the moment, where can he still control you. Xingqing hurriedly reported when she heard this, and she didn't know if something had happened to Shizi......"

Gu Huanyi pondered with tea, it is estimated that the matter of Li Congxin's reluctance to be an heir has already spread, so some shallow-eyed minions don't take him seriously.

She said to Mama Miao: "No matter what happens to the prince, he is also a member of the royal family, not something that people like Mama Wu can underestimate." I don't want to cause trouble to Shizi, it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of a villain like her. You ask Lang Zhong to come over tomorrow morning and tell the Ministry of Rites that I am sick. ”

Gu Huanyi said that he was sick, and Lord Zhuo of the Ministry of Rites came to visit in person, and Mama Miao added fuel and vinegar to explain how Gu Huanyi was punished for standing and kneeling.

"I kowtow thousands of times a day, and I fall directly into the room at night...... My young lady is already in poor health, what can I do, I'm afraid that if I can't survive the funeral ceremony, people won't be able to get out of bed......"

Zhuo Ding was so angry when he heard this, he went to the two grandmothers and reprimanded: "Miss Gu is a young lady of the official family, and she is a martyr, not a palace maid sent to the palace to be embarrassed by you!" The two grandmothers have eaten the imperial food in the palace for so many years, don't they understand the emperor's intentions? Is it for you to embarrass the door and leave the orphans? How do you let the world comment on the emperor? Where do you put the emperor's face? ”

The two of them were repeatedly apologized by Zhuo Dingxun, and they no longer dared to be embarrassed.

In March, Liangzhou became more and more lively, the number of officers and soldiers patrolling the streets was several times more, and the emperor's pioneers also entered the city one after another.

Li Chengxu, the son of King Xian, as the supervisor of the funeral ceremony, also came to Liangzhou with the pioneers.

After he came to Liangzhou, he sent someone to ask about Gu Huanyi's situation, and the two grandmothers replied that everything was fine, and Gu Huanyi refused to mention that he wanted to see Li Chengxu.

But when it came to the rehearsal of the ceremony, Gu Huanyi inevitably had to see Li Chengxu.

The Righteous Shrine has risen in the east of Liangzhou City, and the eighteen martyr arches are built on the stairs leading to the main hall along the stone steps in turn.

In the main hall, 80,000 spiritual seats stand on the steps of the four walls, layer upon layer, reaching the roof.

In front of each spiritual seat, an immortal lamp was lit, and tens of thousands of lights converged like stars, and the entire Yiyong Temple seemed to be about to burn.

According to the ritual plan, Gu Huan intends to accept the plaque rewarded by Emperor Xuan on behalf of Gu Jiajun after Emperor Xuan's funeral - "Eternal Love".

After the plaque was hung on the main hall of the Righteous and Brave Ancestral Hall, Gu Huanyi bowed nine times and bowed nine times to thank the emperor.

During the rehearsal, it was the prince of Xianwang who temporarily represented the emperor and walked the process with everyone.

Gu Huanyi acted according to the rules, did not make more than one move, and did not say a word to Li Xucheng.

After the rehearsal, Li Chengxu deliberately found Gu Huanyi to speak, but Gu Huanyi couldn't hide and could only stay.

"Goodbye Miss Gu this time, your body looks much better than last year, and I think you have recovered from the pain of bereavement."

Gu Huanyi bowed his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, the deceased has passed away, and the living must move forward in order to make their relatives blind." ”

"If only you could think like that." Li Chengxu said with concern: "I heard Master Zhuo say that you fell ill some time ago because of learning etiquette, is it difficult for you to be embarrassed by the slaves below?" If such a thing happens, tell me, and I will punish it severely. ”

Gu Huanyi was reluctant to accept his favor, and said: "The two grandmothers are conscientious, but I am weak myself, and I am prone to illness when the seasons change, but now I am better." ”

Li Chengxu sighed: "If you don't want to pursue it, forget it, I will tell the people below that this kind of thing will not happen again." ”

If Li Chengxu takes special care, there will be some rumors.

Gu Huanyi hurriedly said, "It's really not necessary. ”

Li Chengxu shook his head and said, "Hey, you're just too kind." ”

The two of them came out of the Yiyong Temple together, Li Chengxu was a noble person, and Gu Huanyi sent him to the carriage first.

When saying goodbye, Li Chengxu's coachman bowed and waited aside, and the coachman quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Huanyi, just when Gu Huanyi saw it.

When a subordinate speaks in the master's house, he is not allowed to look at it at will, and he is unruly like this.

Gu Huanyi secretly said in his heart that Li Chengxu was not strict, but when his carriage left, Gu Huanyi suddenly remembered something.

This coachman...... Kind of familiar.

Who is it......

Gu Huanyi kept thinking about it on the way home, and finally thought that that person seemed to be the thief Xiaoxin who stole Li Congxin's purse in Cannes!

Is it really him?

Gu Huanyi was a little unsure, and at a glance passing by in Kangcheng, she didn't remember it so exactly.

But the one that the coachman had just looked at her made her a little convinced.

If it was really him, he could go to the side of King Xian to be a coachman, it must have been arranged by Li Congxin.

Li Congxin wanted to take something from Li Chengxu's hand......

What will it be?

This time, the emperor went to Liangzhou, and the place where he stayed was set at the general's mansion that had just been recovered from the Gu family.

Because it was the Gu family's old residence, Li Chengxun found a high-sounding reason and invited Gu Huanyi to assist in the inspection.

"This is your home, and no one knows it better than you. This time, the emperor is staying here, security is the most important, if there is any place in the house that has not been checked, or has not been arranged, please ask Miss Gu to bring it up directly. ”

It was a matter of the emperor's safety, and Gu Huanyi couldn't refuse, so he could only take orders.

Coming to the General's Mansion again, the plaque of the Gu Mansion on the lintel has long been removed, the furnishings in the house have been moved away and replaced with items used by the emperor, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard are also newly planted.

felt a little sad in her heart, but she couldn't show it, so she and Li Chengxu inspected the courtyard everywhere.

Where there are small doors, where there are shortcuts, where there are trees that are easy to climb, where the slabs are easy to loosen...... Gu Huanyi pointed them out one by one and told them dutifully.

The General's Mansion is very large, and it is already noon when I walk down several times.

Li Chengxu ordered someone to arrange lunch: "Miss Gu, it's time to eat, let's eat together." ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head and said, "Thank you to the prince of Xian, but it is inconvenient for me to feast and drink outside during my filial piety, so I should go back." ”

Li Chengxu frowned and said: "It's just a light meal, and it's the same as what the officials in the government department eat, so Miss doesn't have to be so outside." ”

Gu Huanyi rejected his kindness not once or twice, at first he thought that this woman deliberately took Qiao, wanting to hold some postures and not be looked down upon.

Now it seems that she is really avoiding suspicion.

Li Chengxu was puzzled, if she avoided suspicion, why did she rush to see herself last year? Now this behavior makes him feel as uncomfortable as a stone.
