Lu Zheng replied lightly: "All this is what a minister should do, it is the duty of a minister to protect His Majesty, and the minister does not dare to be negligent for a moment." ”

"Zheng'er ......"

Emperor Longqing was both pleased with Lu Zheng, who adhered to his duty as a courtier, but also had a bit of indescribable emotion.

"Your Majesty, don't ministers have to be eunuchs?" Gu Siye rolled back to Emperor Longqing's side, "The merits and demerits of the ministers are offset, and they should be able to save their lives." ”

Emperor Longqing rubbed his swollen temples, "I didn't plan to punish you in the first place. ”

Gu Siye breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got through the difficulties of life and death safely.

Once there is no threat to his life, Gu Siye can sway freely in front of Emperor Longqing, and he will also become the graceful Yongle Marquis.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is in poor health, and she wants to see you."

Lu Zheng lowered his eyelids.

Gu Siye was at a loss and said with concern: "The Queen Mother is sick?" Wasn't it okay a few days ago? Your Majesty hurried to see Niangniang, minister...... The minister will not disturb His Majesty. ”

"The person hasn't been caught yet, Gu Zhan, you stay in the palace first so that you can confront your outer room at any time."

"She was abandoned by the minister, and she is no longer the minister's outer room."

Gu Siye muttered in a low voice, and in exchange for Emperor Longqing, he slapped him the shoulder.

"The Queen Mother values you very much, and she mentioned you with me a few days ago, and Gu Zhan and Zheng'er went to Cining Palace with me."

"I beg Your Majesty to allow the minister to tidy up her appearance, the minister's embarrassed appearance is not suitable for seeing the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is in a bad mood when she is sick, and the minister's dirty appearance annoys her even more, which is not conducive to her recovery."

"You know a lot, and you're thoughtful."

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister once served the sick by the minister's mother's side, and when the minister's mother was sick, her temper was not very good, and she always found fault with the minister, but when she left the minister, he missed the minister."

Gu Siye enjoyed the service of the palace maid and eunuch with confidence, wiped his face, stretched out his arms and asked the eunuch to help tie his belt.

Lu Zheng is also accustomed to using the servants in the palace, but Gu Siye used the eunuch for the first time without any disobedience and restraint.

Emperor Longqing asked, "Do you need to let the palace maid wait for you to change your clothes?" ”

“…… The minister's body is very good, the floor of the warm pavilion is very clean, and the minister is not contaminated with any dust even when he rolls. ”

Gu Siye reorganized his hair and kept up with Emperor Longqing, who was striding away.

It's really hard for the emperor to serve.

Lu Zheng took advantage of Emperor Longqing to walk away, and said softly: "Fourth Uncle will come to Cining Palace in a while, no matter what you hear, you must pretend not to know at all, you just once received an outer room." ”

"She still has ...... Will it even affect you? ”

Gu Siye was angry that he was blind, why did he fall in love with her?

The women in the world, except for the Li family, are full of malice when they take the initiative to come up and take a fancy to him.

Lu Zheng kept his mouth shut, under the nose of Emperor Longqing, he couldn't say too much.

Gu Siye didn't ask any more questions, and followed Emperor Longqing to Cining Palace with his heart.

The Empress Dowager's face was pale, her complexion was very bad, and she didn't wait for Emperor Longqing to see the salute, so she grabbed his arm, "The mourning family heard a news that has something to do with the first emperor and the crown prince......"

"Minister Gu Zhan asked the Queen Mother Jin An."

Gu Siye knelt down and kowtowed through the screen, deliberately interrupting the Queen Mother's words about the first emperor and the crown prince.

"How could Gu Zhan be with the emperor? He ...... "The Queen Mother's expression was complicated," besides him, who else did the emperor bring to the Cining Palace of the mourning family? ”

"And Zheng'er, they are all very worried about the phoenix body of the queen mother, and when they heard that you were not feeling well, they took the initiative to accompany me to greet you."

Emperor Longqing sat next to the Empress Dowager, and the Eighth Emperor bowed and saluted, "I have seen my father." ”

The Queen Mother has a little preference for the Eight Princes among the emperors and grandchildren, and often summons the Eight Princes to serve in the palace, Emperor Longqing bowed slightly, "I have a few words with my mother, you go to the screen first and wait." ”

When the eighth prince saw the hint of the queen mother, even if he was reluctant, he could only follow the order.

He bypassed the screen, Gu Siye saluted His Royal Highness the Prince again, and he retreated to the door in an orderly manner, away from the Empress Dowager and Emperor Longqing.

Lu Zheng just nodded slightly to the Eighth Prince, standing on the left side of the screen, and could vaguely see the figure of Emperor Longqing.

"Father and Emperor don't need Lu Hou Ye to accompany him in Cining Palace, and the Imperial Grandmother is safe."

The Eighth Prince couldn't see Lu Zheng's reserved and precious appearance, and there was no one in his eyes.

is obviously just an illegitimate child, but he is more powerful than their prince.

It also won the trust and respect of Emperor Longqing.

Lu Zheng didn't even look at the Eighth Prince, he was calm and calm, and he didn't move a bit.

The eighth prince held a sullen breath in his chest, he had the highest voice in the selection of the crown prince, but Lu Zheng was rude to him as always.

Behind the screen, the Queen Mother grabbed her son's hand and said softly: "Just now Xiaoba said to the mourning family...... Gu Zhan raised the outer room to be a thief, and she had a birthmark on her body. ”

The Queen Mother pointed her finger at the location of Emperor Longqing's birthmark, "Maybe she is the child of the first emperor's crown prince who is outcast, and we have been looking for it!" ”

Emperor Longqing's face changed greatly, "The children of the imperial brother have all died young, and there is no bloodline to continue, I originally planned to select reliable and filial children in the clan to pass on to the imperial brother in a few years, and offer four seasons of incense for the imperial brother." ”

"The people are ignorant and believe that the emperor's brother has children and are living among the people, and these false news are just thieves plotting to usurp the throne under the banner of the emperor's brother."

Emperor Longqing's eyes were full of gloom, "Every few years, there is always news that seems to be true and fake, which always makes me happy." More than anyone else, I hope that the royal brother will have blood in the world. ”

"Over the years since I ascended the throne, I have been looking for the orphans of my imperial brother, and I have sworn a poisonous oath in front of my father and the emperor to treat the imperial brother well."

The Queen Mother said softly: "This time Xiaoba said that it is well-founded, I heard that the prince's outer room did give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses that day, and the ministers of the court and the central government also had to help, so they were not found." ”

"No matter what the emperor does, the mourning family can't tolerate them."

"It's still a matter of no shadow, the queen mother will wait for me to ask clearly before making a judgment, I have already asked the Jinyi Guard to personally arrest Gu Zhan's outer chamber......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Longqing was embarrassed for a moment, "I expect her to be just a stand-in raised by anti-thieves." ”

If she was the daughter of the emperor's brother, Emperor Longqing didn't know how to face Gu Zhan.

In front of the first emperor that day, he made a poisonous oath, so that the first emperor used a jade seal on the edict to cover up the fact that he forced the palace to usurp the throne.

It is true that he did not do anything to the children of the imperial brother, and he had someone to help him clean up the troubles.

"Xiaoba also heard that Gu Zhan's father ...... once entered the Prince's East Palace. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family knows that the emperor values Gu Zhan very much, and the mourning family also likes Gu Zhan's simple temperament, if it is found that Gu Zhan is related to the prince of the first emperor, the emperor can no longer be tolerant of Gu Zhan." ”

Emperor Longqing slowly closed his eyes, "I have my own plans, and the queen mother doesn't need to work hard for this matter anymore." ”

He remembered the poisonous oath that he had deliberately forgotten.

"If the safety of the emperor's brother and heir cannot be guaranteed, the son will also lose the heir, lose the son who is most loved and relied on, the bloodline will be cut off, and the inheritance of the throne will be lost."
