Gu Fanghua probably told Yan Qingyi about the incident on the peony boat, and she was envious when she heard it.

"Mingzhu, they all say that our border women can be more comfortable, I see, no one can compare to you. Especially Gu Yuma, he is very obedient to you. ”

Gu Fanghua said with a smile: "My father and I have missed it for more than ten years, and now as soon as he hears about it, I want to get married." It's heartbroken, and I can't take him. ”

This is not Gu Fanghua's exaggeration, since Gu Dian recovered his memory, he has poured all his thoughts about his deceased wife on Gu Fanghua.

In his words, he wants to make up for the love between himself and Princess Liuyue, who have failed to take care of Mingzhu for more than ten years.

So he politely refused the appointment of Emperor Hong Zheng, and was only willing to bear the title of a concubine and stay by his daughter's side. Even if he takes care of his daughter's chores and travels as a guard, he is willing.

Zhong Taojiao touched the fat on her stomach and said enviously: "Mingzhu, I also want such a father." You don't have to be a biological child, you can travel all over the world. ”

"Jiaojiao, you should tell Yan Changxin this, didn't he say that he would take you around to play? Why does he want to talk and not count, and break his word and get fat? ”

Gu Fanghua joked, and Zhong Taojiao immediately replied: "It's me who is reluctant to Hua'er, but the long letter said that we will give birth to this one." When Hua'er is older, Changxin and I will take him out to play. ”

Yan Qingyi and Gu Fanghua exchanged glances, but did not puncture Zhong Taojiao's dream.

Whether or not to have children in this life is not Jiaojiao's decision alone, if you want Yan Changxin's treachery, Jiaojiao will definitely be born one after another.

Gu Fanghua didn't twist either, and said generously: "Actually, my father is, because I haven't seen Xiao Yao, so I haven't been at ease?" After he meets Xiao Yao, he will know that my choice is not wrong, and my father will rest assured that he will hand me over to him. ”

Jiaojiao and Yan Qingyi both know Xiao Yao's intentions for Gu Fanghua, and they are also very optimistic about them.

"Mingzhu, my congratulatory gifts are ready, they are good things from the West. When the time comes, you will definitely open their eyes, I guarantee that there are no two in the capital. ”

A few people laughed and laughed, the child cried, and each hugged and coaxed the little group to inquire about the situation.

"Xiao Tuanzi, what is the situation there in Jiang Lingyi?"

Xiao Tuanzi half-knelt and said: "Princess Hui, it has been found out that the person who committed the assassination is Jiang Lingyi's admirer." Seeing Jiang Lingyi combing the cage, he shot angrily for a while. ”

"Really? Then why did he attack me? Still accusing us? ”

Gu Fanghua was a little unconvinced, and Xiao Tuanzi said: "Back to the princess, that person was originally a subordinate who did chores for the peony boat, but just because he saw Jiang Lingyi a few times, he fell for it." So when he shot out of jealousy, he naturally made false accusations. ”

"In that case, forget it."

knew that it had nothing to do with him, so Gu Fanghua didn't bother to ask. But what she didn't know was that in fact, there was something else to do about it, but Xiao Tuanzi didn't dare to tell it.

It turned out that Wu Xiangang, the governor of Jiangnan, asked to see him, but Empress Dowager Zhong ignored it, but later heard that he was going to report it again, so she took the time to see him.

As soon as Wu Xiangang came in, he made a big salute: "Xia Guan has seen the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

"Get up. The mourning family already knows what happened last night, what else is going on? ”

Wu Xian got up just now, knelt down again, and replied: "The lower official is here to thank Gu Yuma for his action last night, so that he can catch the thief." This thief was originally a fugitive, intending to assassinate the dog, but fortunately, God blessed the dog to escape. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Why did the fugitive assassinate your son? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, this fugitive had a fiancée, but her woman was too poor and loved rich, so she was taken to the backyard by the dog. He escaped after injuring the woman's family, but he didn't expect to hide in a flower boat in Jinling. ”

Wu Xiangang didn't dare to hide it, and confessed in 1510.

When Empress Dowager Zhong heard this, she sighed and said: "The mourning family has also heard that the amorous son is messing with flowers and grass everywhere, and you should also discipline it well, so as not to happen again." ”

"Yes, the lower officials strictly follow the teachings of the Queen Mother. Xia Guan has another matter to report. ”

Wu Xiangang wiped the sweat on his head, but still didn't get up. Empress Dowager Zhong raised her eyelids and didn't care: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xia Guan recently tracked down some news, it turned out that Gu Ju Ma Bottle Mountain was in distress, but it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

Empress Dowager Zhong was shocked when she heard this, and the hand on the arm immediately tightened.

Said sharply: "You tell me carefully! ”

Wu Xiangang actually received the news before. It's just that the people involved are no longer there, and they are old and difficult to verify, so they are silent.

And now, because of her son's affairs, she must have had a bad impression in the heart of the Queen Mother. In order to keep the black yarn hat, he can only make up for it with the plate, in order to make up for the merits and be able to bear some affection.

"Hui Empress Dowager Niangniang, a staff member of the lower officials, knew a foreigner surnamed Xi in the early years. Not long ago, the wailang died of illness, and before he died, he repented, saying that he was ordered to blow up the Yuxian embankment, so the flash flood was raging, and the horse would have an accident. Then he kept haunting it, and only confided the truth when he died. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was furious, if it wasn't for Gu Dian's accident, Princess Liuyue would not have lost her ambition and died in childbirth.

"Why didn't you say it earlier! Who is it! ”

"The Queen Mother is angry, since the lower officials learned about it, they know that the matter is big. Immediately sent someone to Yuxian County to verify, and there was a definite response just yesterday. The one who ordered the dam to be blown up was King Chenliu, who had already destroyed the gate."

Empress Dowager Zhong closed her eyes, held back the anger in her heart, and ordered: "Go, please come over." ”

When Gu Dian came over, Empress Dowager Zhong had already regained her composure, so she asked in detail.

"Gu Dian, the mourning family has never been clear, even if you were in a hurry to return to Beijing back then, you shouldn't have disregarded your safety and traveled in heavy rain. I've heard some old things again, so let's hear about it. ”

Gu Dian found out that Wu Xiangang was still kneeling on the ground. It's just that I don't know why, Empress Dowager Zhong suddenly asked about the old thing, but she still answered truthfully.

Said gloomily: "Back to the Queen Mother, when I traveled, it was just a light rain and no heavy rain. When we walked around Bottle Mountain, although the rain increased, it did not cause flash floods. The sudden arrival of the flash flood is incredible when I think about it now. Perhaps, this is fate. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong did not shy away from it, and asked directly: "Then when you were ordered by the emperor to come to Jiangnan to investigate the case, did you find anything unusual?" And why do you wear regular clothes when you travel? And did not let the officers and soldiers escort it? ”

Gu Dian was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Queen Mother, more than ten years have passed, and the people I investigated at the beginning have all died." ”

Saying that, Gu Dian explained: "I changed into regular clothes and didn't ask for officers and soldiers to escort me, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and also to rush back to the capital as soon as possible. ”
