Gu Shanchang and Empress Dowager Yu grew up together since childhood, and they are very familiar with her handwriting.

At this time, Gu Shanchang sat in front of the bright candle flame, his eyes slowly swept over the handwriting on the letterhead, and a burst of sighs swelled in his heart.

People have different ages and experiences, and there will be subtle differences when they put pen to paper.

Yu Lianniang back then, talented, confident, proud, like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing when she put pen to paper. Later, Empress Yu was forbearant and depressed, and her handwriting was much more mellow.

Today's Empress Dowager Yu no longer needs to be forbearant and restrained, her pen is sharp and sharp. Between the lines, there is a frightening decisiveness in killing.

Gu Shanchang settled down and began to read the letter.

There was nothing special in the letter, neither mentioning the changes in the capital nor the situation in the palace. Just like an old friend talking to each other, talk about trivial things in life.

Such as "I am very worried about it after you leave", "After you go to Shudi, you don't have a word, and you are too stingy with pen and ink" and so on. casually asked about the life in Shudi.

After reading the letter, Gu Shanchang's mood improved slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and wrote a reply.

……

Shu County to the capital, fast horses whip day and night trips.

Twelve days later, the letter arrived in the Jiaofang Temple.

Zhilan carefully held the letter and walked outside the main hall.

In the main hall, Concubine Li was kneeling in front of Empress Dowager Yu, crying and pleading with tears in her eyes: "...... Someone must have secretly framed King Ning, set up this game, and poured all the sewage on King Ning. The Queen Mother grew up watching King Ning grow up with her own eyes, and she is most familiar with King Ning's mood and temper. I implore the Queen Mother to be the master of King Ning! ”

King Ning was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for more than two months.

Since Gonggong An confessed, King Ning has completely fallen into the disadvantage, and the situation is quite bad. Even if King Ning's henchmen secretly worked hard, they also showed a trend of decline.

Today, the imperial historian in the court has invited the Son of Heaven to ask King Ning for the crime of "murdering his siblings".

Emperor Jian'an pretended to leave this recital in the middle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Emperor Jian'an makes a move against King Ning. Concubine Li has to come to the Jiaofang Hall every day to cry and beg once.

Empress Dowager Yu's eyebrows were cold, and the wrinkles on her forehead became deeper and deeper, revealing ruthlessness and coldness.

"The affairs of the court are decided by the emperor. The mourners will not meddle in the question. ”

"If King Ning is really innocent, after finding out the reason, the emperor will definitely return his innocence. On the contrary, he could not escape severe punishment! You're crying and crying here in mourning, it's useless, stand down! ”

Concubine Li continued to plead with tears in her eyes: "The Queen Mother ......"

Empress Dowager Yu's eyes swept coldly: "Stand down!" ”

Concubine Li couldn't help but shudder and staggered out of the Jiaofang Palace.

……

Zhilan was not in the mood to sympathize with the poor Concubine Li, so she immediately took the letter into the palace and said respectfully: "Empress Dowager Qi, the Shu Wangfu sent someone to send a letter into the palace. This is a letter written by Gu Shanchang to the Queen Mother. ”

Hearing Gu Shanchang's name, Empress Dowager Yu's brows stretched slightly, and her eyes became much gentler: "Present the letter to the mourning family!" ”

has served the Empress Dowager Yu for several years, and Zhilan is quite familiar with the temperament of the Empress Dowager Yu. Seeing that Empress Dowager Yu was in a good mood, Zhilan also smiled slightly and respectfully presented the letter.

Empress Dowager Yu took the letter, glanced at the beautiful and dignified Zhilan, and suddenly said: "The mourning family heard that Father-in-law Lu is sick. ”

Zhilan's body trembled, and she whispered.

For Empress Dowager Yu, the current Gonggong Lu is actually not very useful. can't serve Emperor Jian'an closely, can't be valued by the Son of Heaven, and the information that can be found is quite limited.

There are many servants in the palace, and with the means of Empress Dowager Yu, it is not difficult to show favor and buy a few.

"Zhilan," Empress Dowager Yu asked lightly: "If you don't want to eat with Grandpa Lu again, the mourning family will give an order, and Grandpa Lu will be interested and will not come to pester you again." ”

Zhilan's body trembled again, her face was lowered, and she couldn't see the emotions in her eyes clearly: "The slave and maid are brave, report to the Queen Mother, and the slave and maid are willing to continue to eat in pairs with Gonggong Lu." ”

The unexpected answer made Empress Dowager Yu a little surprised.

Empress Dowager Yu looked at Zhilan fixedly: "Zhilan, you are still young, Father-in-law Lu is twenty years older than you, and now he is sick, and it is unknown how long he will live." The mourning family only asked you this time, you can be clear, and then go back to the mourning family. ”

If it were someone else, Empress Dowager Yu would not bother with this tongue at all.

Zhilan didn't raise her head, her voice was low but firm: "The slave has already thought it through. ”

Empress Dowager Yu was dumbfounded for a moment, waved her hand, and motioned for Zhilan to retreat.

It's a pleasure to receive a letter from a friend. Empress Dowager Yu opened the letter and read it with great interest.

"Lianniang, it's good to see Xin'an."

"Since I came to Shudi, I am in a good mood. The food in Shu is spicy, I was quite unaccustomed to it at first, but now I gradually feel that it tastes quite good. ”

"I plan to open a girls' academy, regardless of the family, to accept girls from ordinary people's families, and teach them to read and write and understand things. I also have the name of the academy in mind, and it will be called Gu's Academy. ”

"I also plan to build a nursing home for abandoned girls in the future. There is also a medical clinic for women who are poor and cannot afford to hire a doctor......"

It was sprinkled with three pages of letterhead.

Gu Shanchang's confident and radiant face seemed to appear in front of him.

Empress Dowager Yu's brows were completely stretched, and her eyes were full of smiles.

This Xianzhi, after going to Shudi, is like a fish in water, and it is very happy!

Just seeing that his friends are so happy, it is worth letting the king and wife of Shu go to Shu that day.

……

After exiting the Jiaofang Palace, Zhilan went to the residence of Father-in-law Lu.

The palace maids and attendants I met along the way all enthusiastically stepped forward to greet each other. The younger ones are called "Sister Zhilan", and the older ones are also cheeky to call Sister Zhilan.

Zhilan has firmly occupied the throne of the first person beside Empress Dowager Yu. Even the imperial doctors who were walking in the palace were very polite when they saw Zhilan.

Father-in-law Lu was sick, and Zhilan also went to the hospital privately and asked for a prescription secretly prescribed by a doctor. Otherwise, if the palace attendant is sick, he will have to wait for death.

A teenage eunuch was boiling medicine under the eaves of the porch. Seeing Zhilan, he came to greet him with a smile: "Sister Zhilan is here." ”

Zhilan was quite kind, and laughed softly: "I boil medicine three times a day, and I have to wait for food, drink and change clothes, I have worked hard for you." ”

The little eunuch was a little flattered: "It is right to serve my father-in-law." ”

Gonggong Lu has received several righteous sons, and the most promising one is Gonggong Wei, who has now gone to Shu with the king of Shu. This little eunuch is the adopted son of Gonggong Lu three years ago.

Now that Father-in-law Lu is sick, this little eunuch still has a conscience and serves him quite thoughtfully every day.

…… Of course, Zhilan came every day, and he didn't dare not be unsatisfied.

Zhilan smiled, didn't say anything, reached out and pushed the door in.
