CHAPTER XXXV
The carriage moved slowly on the way to the palace, and the three of them did not say much.
Gu Jiahui closed her eyes and analyzed the situation. Even if the second prince has the heart to win the throne, how easy is it to talk about it with the prime minister for a day? If it continues, sooner or later the throne will fall into the hands of the four princes.
The fourth prince must be a Ming monarch, but if Gu Yanxi doesn't get rid of it for a day, Gu Jiahui will be like a fish in her throat. Even if you escape from the ancient mansion in the future, you must ensure the safety of your mother. Getting rid of Gu Yanxi is to never suffer in the future.
The third lady who has never appeared can't figure out her details, will there be any threat? Obviously, everyone said that she was weak and cultivated in another garden, but her mother died and did not return home, which is really puzzling. After all, Gu Youning is a compatriot with Gu Yanxi's mother, and the two must have a close relationship and cannot relax their vigilance. At present, we can only take one step at a time......
After entering the imperial city, it is better to get off the bus and walk at the gate of the imperial city than Gu Jiahui usually does when he goes to the school. Now there are guards on both sides of the carriage, and the carriage walks unimpeded in the imperial city. It was not until it reached the front of the inner sanctum that the carriage came to a slow stop.
The maidservant was already waiting for the people who were about to get off the carriage, and according to the order of identity, the second prince got out of the carriage first. The maidservant immediately stepped forward to help, and the second prince accepted it unceremoniously. Gu Muyu and Gu Jiahui, who got off the bus after that, did not have this kind of courtesy as royal heirs, and just got off the bus by themselves. Gu Muyu felt sorry for his sister, and helped his sister out of the car after getting out of the car.
"It's been hard along the way, and I invited the three old slaves to enter the palace, and the emperor has been waiting in the mat for a long time." Father-in-law Su is the emperor's close eunuch, so the emperor naturally will not come to greet him in person, so he sent Father-in-law Su to show his concern.
This is the first time Gu Jiahui has seen other places in the palace, and the four words magnificent are indeed used to describe this kind of place.
There were many unfamiliar faces in the main hall, and Gu Jiahui had only seen the emperor, several princes and the eighth princess. Gu Jiahui raised her eyes and glanced at the people around her, sitting next to the emperor and wearing bright yellow clothes, she should be the queen mother, the queen mother of the fourth prince and the eighth princess. The concerned eyes kept scanning the two princes, and their appearance was seven points with the deceased eldest lady, although she was not the queen, the luxury of her dress was not lower than that of the queen, and she must be the concubine.
"Back to the emperor, the old slave brought the three of them." Father-in-law Su respectfully saluted the emperor, and the emperor nodded in motion, and Father-in-law Su walked back to the emperor's side.
"Sons, ministers, and little daughters greet the emperor and the queen." The three of them saluted respectfully.
"Excuse me, come and give me a seat." The emperor knew that these three people were tired from the journey, and gave a seat to show condolences, "I am very worried about you, and I ordered someone to search for the bandits, but I can't see any trace of you. ”
Gu Jiahui couldn't see a trace of fear on the emperor's face, and her words were also flat and straightforward, without a trace of worry, since she was just going to the bandits to find the missing two, how could she kill all the bandits first without finding where the people were. If the second prince wants to ascend to the throne, it must be a rough road, and the emperor will not fail to guard against him.
"Thank you for your father's worry, my son's safe return is thanks to my father." The second prince also responded with polite words, but in the same way as his father.
"I heard the spies say you're hurt? How is the wound now? Those bandits are really bold, even the royal carriage dares to intercept it, and now that the bandits have been exterminated, it can be regarded as a stable life for the surrounding people. ”
Before a few people returned to the palace, someone had already returned to the palace first, explaining to the emperor all the discoveries. knew that the second prince was injured, but he didn't send a royal doctor to wait. The emperor can know everything he wants to know, and the people around him can't be trusted. If it weren't for Gu Jiahui's caution when discussing with the second prince, this master's head would not have been his own.
"The son is fine," the second prince didn't say much, the emperor's words were flowing water, and the second prince's words were paper boats. No matter what the emperor said, the two princes followed the emperor's wishes, like a paper boat going down the flowing water. "Thanks to Gu Jiahui's treatment, Erchen was able to save his life."
Gu Jiahui, who was waiting quietly, was pushed to the forefront by the second prince, Gu Jiahui looked at the second prince with a smirk, and the second prince smiled back. Now that I've agreed to your request, you should help me from now on.
"I've heard that Qiong'er said when she returned to the palace that thanks to the method that this girl came up with, she attracted those bandits. That's why I won the opportunity to leave for my children, and I was very moved by this move, and now you have saved Ce'er, and you are really a great hero of Huang Yuguo and me! The emperor's expression was much more vivid than when he spoke to the second prince just now, and his expression became richer.
"At that time, the little girl didn't think much about it, she just knew that my life could be exchanged for more people's lives, so I felt that it was worth it. And it was very happy that an insignificant person like Xiaonu could do his best at that time. This is also thanks to what the abbot said, which made Gu Jiahui's heart feel a little smooth, if someone hadn't pointed her first, Gu Jiahui would definitely not have taken the risk of doing such a dangerous thing. Fortunately, the bandit is not very smart, so that she can escape, "As a citizen of Huang Yuguo, it is the honor of the little girl to do what she can for the royal family." The emperor is a Ming monarch, even if he is not a little girl, if he is someone else, he will rush forward without hesitation. ”
"I didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu not only taught a wise son, but also taught a daughter who understood righteousness." The emperor likes Gu Jiahui's fancy bragging very much, and there is no one who doesn't like nice words.
"Thank you for your reputation."
"Father, thanks to Ah Hui, Qiong'er can come back safely. I also hope that my father will give Ah Hui, a meritorious daughter, some rewards. The eighth princess had been worried about Gu Jiahui's comfort and didn't sleep all night. Seeing her come back safe and sound is reassuring, if something happens to Gu Jiahui, Zhu Hanqiong will have a disturbed conscience for the rest of her life.
"Gu Jiahui is indeed meritorious, even if Qiong'er doesn't say it, I plan to give some rewards." The emperor hesitated for a moment, "My daughters are scarce, and now I am the only one who is by my side, you are of the same age, and Qiong'er likes you very much." As...... I named you the lord of the county, and gave you the name of the lord of the county. ”
Since the emperor ascended the throne, only Peng Yusheng, the third lady of the general's family, has been given the title of county lord, but he has not been given a word.
But Gu Jiahui not only got the title of county lord, but also got the title of shallow Yu.
