Li Sheng also had something to tell him, so he didn't continue to excuse himself, and the two returned to the eldest grandson's mansion.

Before the death of the first emperor, Li Sheng had been living in the imperial palace, but when the first emperor was seriously ill, he let Li Sheng move out and move to the current residence of Changsun Mansion.

The first emperor also had good intentions, he was gone, no one could protect Li Sheng, if he was allowed to stay in the palace and wait until the emperor ascended the throne, seeing this nephew in front of him would inevitably be dissatisfied with him, so let Li Sheng move out first.

I have to say that the road paved by the first emperor for Li Sheng back then was also comprehensive.

The Changsun Mansion was specially built for Li Sheng by the emperor himself, and even the plaque was written by the emperor himself, which also reminded the world that Li Sheng was his appointed heir, and this country would have to be handed over to him sooner or later.

For so many years, the emperor has been kind and doting on Li Sheng, but he has never set foot in the eldest grandson's mansion for half a step, so you can know the emperor's thoughts.

Gu Junyan and Li Sheng returned to the Changsun Mansion, and as soon as they entered the main room, Li Sheng sent people out.

Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Sheng: "What's the matter, I want to teach me that I shouldn't tear my face with the people of the Chen family?" ”

Li Sheng smiled good-naturedly, with a real smile on his handsome face: "Even if there is no such thing as today, we and the Chen family will not die, and they will not let me go, so what does it matter if I tear my face or not?" After a pause, he added, "I'm just worried about my uncle, if I know that you are acting like this, I am afraid that I will nag you again." ”

No one knows that the famous General Gu Yanshan Gu is not best at leading troops to fight, but nagging his son, he can teach Gu Junyan the kind that he doesn't even change his anger all day.

Therefore, this person always looks at other people's children, and I don't know how many people in the capital envy Gu Yanshan for having a competitive son, but Gu Yanshan himself feels that his son is disobedient and can't succeed, which simply breaks his heart.

Gu Junyan played with the jade pendant in his hand indifferently, and said indifferently: "What's there, if you don't want to listen, I'll hide, anyway, he hasn't been able to catch up with me since last year." ”

Li Sheng: "......"

Li Sheng shook his head helplessly, and no longer bothered about the lawsuit between father and son, "During the birthday banquet, there was a little girl who was quite interesting, she reminded me of something, I think you should know." ”

"Oh? Little girl? Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully: "Is there still a little girl who can get close to you?" I think I'm going to be scared away by Anning's tigress. ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened.

Li Sheng glared at him: "This time in Xuzhou, the Chen family was forced to be tight, I am afraid that I am going to take action, and I will give you a charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason." ”

Gu Junyan nodded: "I know, the person I caught today, Chen Hui asked him to do this," After a pause, he sneered: "These people have nothing to do on weekdays, so they will do these shady tricks!" ”

Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you are prepared, there is one more thing, I think I am very concerned, this girl mentioned Wuzhou." ”

When Gu Junyan heard this, the movements in his hands paused, and his expression was a little solemn: "What do you say?" ”

"I didn't expect this, but this girl reminded me that you have solved the predicament of Xuzhou, but now Wuzhou is a group of dragons without a leader, there are Liao people eyeing you outside, and Chen Ge Lao is bent on catching you, if Chen Ge Lao and the Liao people join forces, you will be the enemy on your back." Li Sheng said with a worried expression.

Gu Junyan's expression also became a little solemn, and he frowned and thought carefully.

Chen Ge Lao used Li Jianzhong to attack the Gu family, and even wanted to harm him, Gu Junyan had already seen through this matter, and he also knew that with the little person he caught, there was no way to shake Chen Ge Lao's status, because the emperor protected him, so Gu Junyan did not do anything after he caught someone, but returned the person to Chen Ge Lao.

It's actually a kind of warning, what you're going to do, I already know, and I've seen through it.

To be honest, Gu Junyan didn't take Chen Ge Lao in his eyes, but Wuzhou ......

If Chen Ge really colluded with the Liao people, and Wuzhou fell into a military rebellion, this matter would not be something that could be solved by catching a small guy.

Thinking of this, Gu Junyan walked to the bookcase on the side, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and only after writing it did he call out in a deep voice: "Yi Wu! ”

The door was pushed open, and a burly man in black walked in from outside the door, Gu Junyan handed the written letter to Yi Wu: "Delivered it to my father overnight, remember, no one can find out." ”

Yi Wu answered, took the letter, turned around and left.

Gu Junyan was a little relieved at this time, and he looked at Li Sheng: "Tell you this, but the seventh lady of the Su family?" ”

Li Sheng was a little surprised: "You also know her?" ”

Li Sheng knew that Gu Junyan basically knew everything about the big families in the capital, but he thought that it was only for men, but he didn't expect that he actually knew about a little girl in the boudoir.

Gu Junyan thought of the little girl's calm and calm face at that time, and couldn't help curling the corners of her lips: "Well, I know a little." ”

Li Sheng looked at the smile on his face and was very puzzled, but he has always been restrained and will not deliberately ask topics that the other party is unwilling to mention.

"By the way, I'm coming back this time, there is one more thing, the emperor's birthday is coming, this time the emperor's birthday is going to be a big event, have you thought about what to give?" Gu Junyan asked.

The emperor's birthday is a big event for the imperial court, especially the relationship between Li Sheng and the emperor.

Gu Junyan and Li Sheng have carefully analyzed that with their current strength, it is very dangerous to fight against the emperor, and the most important thing now is to recuperate and accumulate strength, now is not the time to tear your face with the emperor.

In order to buy them time to breathe, it is necessary to reassure them now, but they must not completely show weakness and make the emperor think that they are weak enough to be slaughtered.

So it's hard to grasp this degree.

In fact, in recent times, the contradiction between Li Sheng and the emperor has become more and more intense.

"Several princes are growing up, and the emperor is a little impatient, last time the emperor actually acquiesced to the second prince to send secret guards to chase and kill me, which shows his attitude." Gu Junyan said in a deep voice.

Last time in Chenglu Temple, those who refused to reveal their identities were actually secret guards, and the secret guards only obeyed the emperor's orders, and if there was no acquiescence from the emperor, I was afraid that no one would be able to command them.

Li Sheng didn't know about this, and hurriedly asked, "Jun Yan, are you injured?" ”

Gu Junyan thought of the scene that day, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "It's nothing, the so-called secret guard is nothing more than that, and the straw bag is very." ”

General Gu Shao seemed to have forgotten his embarrassment that day, and even became a disciple once and drilled into the woman's boudoir.

It is precisely because of this that this time Gu Junyan caught the handle of Chen Ge Lao, and did not make a big deal about it, but just made a wedding banquet, and this result was already very good for Chen Ge Lao.

The emperor should also understand that this is also Gu Junyan giving him face, after all, what he has done, everyone tacitly knows it, but it is just to maintain a superficial relationship.

"Yes, I heard that the second prince and the fourth prince have been preparing since last year, and I want to stand out at this birthday banquet." Li Sheng said with a sigh.

Thinking of the two princes, Gu Junyan bent the corners of his lips, and suddenly said meaningfully: "You don't have to bother so much, you now have someone to read, I heard that Third Young Master Su is very smart, why don't you ask him another day, maybe he will have a way?" ”

Li Sheng looked at Gu Junyan's serious suggestion, and shook his head helplessly, because he didn't miss the flash of fun in his eyes, this cousin, just like when he was a child, always likes to play tricks on others, and he has to make a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

I don't know how Su Sangongzi offended him?

Most of the people who read in the Guozi Prison were born in the noble and noble ministers, and the place where the princes studied was in the imperial study, and Li Sheng used to study here, but since he was studying in the imperial study the year before last, he was poisoned after drinking a cup of tea, so he didn't go to the imperial study much.

Speaking of which, this matter was also in an uproar at the time, Li Sheng was also nine deaths, the poison was extremely heavy, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital were helpless, and in the end, Gu Junyan found the miracle doctor Mo Chou, who had been uncertain, and only then did he save Li Sheng.

The emperor was furious, and the palace maids were implicated a lot, and even the masters in the palace were involved.

However, even if the emperor was angry, the final result would be indispensable, and a few little people were casually introduced to settle the case hastily, with heavy thunder and little rain.

Because of this, Gu Yanshan, who has always been forbearing, couldn't help it, and disposed of several eyeliners that the emperor had placed in the army, so that the emperor's contacts that had been operating for many years were ruined, and the relationship between the two sides became tense in the comings and goings.

Even later, when Wuzhou was in turmoil, when Gu Junyan returned to Wuzhou to quell the turmoil, the second prince even did not hesitate to send secret guards to kill people.

Since then, although Li Sheng has been detoxified, he has fundamentally injured his health and is a little bad, so he no longer goes to the imperial study, but hires a gentleman in the eldest grandson's mansion alone to give lectures to him.

As Li Sheng's companion, Su Zhan naturally wants to come to Changsun's Mansion, which is why Su Yunlai will approve of Su Zhan as Li Sheng's companion.

If she wanted to enter the palace and go to the imperial study, Su Yunlai would not agree to it anyway, even if Gu Junyan forced her, she would find a way to stir up this matter.

The next morning, Su Zhan got up early, perhaps because he had expectations in his heart, so he was in good spirits, and he couldn't wait.

This made Chen, who came to take care of him early in the morning, happy and sad, because the young birds would grow up and one day leave their mother's arms and fly into the sky.

Su Zhan didn't notice Chen's complicated thoughts, and he packed up and was about to go out.

Su Zhan said to Chen: "Mother, today is the first day I will go to Changsun Mansion, I can't go late, go first, you go back." ”

Chen nodded, looking at his departing back with a worried expression.

Mama Lan said with relief: "Don't worry, madam, the young master is smart, he will take care of himself." ”

Chen nodded and smiled: "I naturally know that Zhan'er and Ah Wan are both smart children, but when they are mothers, isn't that the case?" No matter how old and smart the children are, in the eyes of the mother, they are all children who need to be protected and cared for. ”

Mama Lan looked at the gentle smile on her face and said softly, "The Third Young Master and the Seventh Miss can also protect Mrs. now, you can rest assured." ”

Chen nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Su Zhan walked out with someone, but met Su Jie and Su Chen at the door.

"Fifth brother, are you going to visit Professor Li? It just so happens that I also have homework to ask for advice, and I will accompany you to ......" Su Chenzheng said to Su Jie with a smile on his face.

Compared with Su Chen, the expression on Su Jie's face was a hint of arrogance, and he said pretendedly: "I'm afraid it won't work out today, the second prince is going to go to Professor Li to discuss the lessons, and the fourth brother is going to go, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient." ”

Su Chen's face changed, as if he was a little angry, but he still endured it: "It's really a coincidence, but I heard that the fifth brother's homework is often praised by Mr., and he is very valued by Professor Li, and he must also have a lot of face in front of Professor Li, I don't know when I can introduce one or two to the foolish brother, and the foolish brother is grateful." ”

Su Jie paused slightly, and then said with a smug smile: "It's easy to say, it's all my own brothers," after a pause, he said quickly: "I'll go first, the second prince is still waiting for me!" ”

Su Jie hurried away with his little servant.

Su Zhan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Su Jie and Su Chen were the same age, they were the sons-in-law of the fourth and fifth rooms, and they would inevitably be compared, in the past, the two of them were secretly competing, and no one was convinced, but today Su Chen actually came to compliment Su Jie, which is strange.

Su Zhan's heart flashed with suspicion, and then he boarded the carriage.

……

The Chen family is still not worried about his son in the end, one is worried that the eldest grandson of the emperor will not get along with him, and Su Zhan will be wronged, and he is worried that Su Zhan will not be able to stand the hard work of running back and forth.

"No, I have to go to the temple to pray for your third brother!" Chen couldn't sit still, so he stood up and walked out.

Su Yunlai smiled bitterly, but he had no choice but to accompany her.

The two went to Lingyun Courtyard to return to Mrs. Su.

The fifth wife said with a smile when she heard this: "I have long been the most promising among their brothers, Zhan'er is now the companion of the emperor's eldest grandson, of course this identity is different, Jie'er is also studying in the country, and there is also a great creation, as far as our Chen'er is a promising, I want to worry about it like the second sister-in-law, and I don't have this opportunity!" ”

Chen couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, she could understand the malice in Mrs. Five's tone.

Su Yunlai smiled at the fifth wife: "Fifth aunt, my third brother has always said that you take care of him like a biological mother, and he has a chance, I think you are also as happy for him as my mother, right?" ”

In the past, the fifth wife had always made a gesture that cared more about Su Zhan than anyone else, but Su Yunlai was disgusted.

The fifth wife has children and daughters herself, but she still has to pretend to care and love the sons of others, and she is afraid that others will not know, so Su Yunlai is not polite at this time.

The fifth wife's expression froze, and just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Su glanced at her lightly, and then she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Mrs. Su was very kind to Chen: "It's hard for you to have a motherly heart, and now that Zhan'er has a chance, he will honor you in the future." After a pause, she smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, bring more people, and pay attention to safety." ”

Chen respectfully took Su Yun to retire.

After they left, the fifth wife sneered: "It's really good at tossing people, but it's just going to the emperor's grandson to be a companion, so I became arrogant, as if I was afraid that no one would know!" ”

Old Mrs. Su glanced at her, and knew that now Su Zhan and Su Jie were promising, only Su Chen's future was unclear, she was inevitably unhappy in her heart, and she didn't teach her anything more.

"It's time to pray for blessings, such a great blessing, and I don't know if her son has a life." Old Mrs. Su actually followed the words of the fifth lady.

The fifth lady thought of what Mrs. Su said before, and she was a little more satisfied, so she asked Su Chen to get close to Su Jie, if Su Jie was willing to introduce him and win the favor of the second prince, with Su Chen's talent and character, he would not be afraid of not being reused!

……

Chen and Su Yunlai walked out of Lingyun Courtyard, and sighed softly: "Zhan'er just went to be the companion of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and your fifth aunt was dissatisfied, and I don't know what waves will arise in the future." ”

Su Yunlai said with relief: "Mother, with the old lady in the way, the fifth aunt will not make too much trouble, and the fourth brother is also very good." There will be a future in the future. ”

Chan nodded.

Su Yunlai secretly said in his heart, Su Zhan has a future, and her five aunts are not the only ones who are dissatisfied, if they are all satisfied, they will have no way to live in this room!

Chen took Su Yunlai to the Fahua Temple outside the city in a carriage to pray for Su Zhan.

Chen wanted to say something to the abbot, don't let Su Yun come and go around the temple, and wait until lunch before leaving.

Su Yunlai walked out of the main hall and walked to the backyard of the temple, she suddenly remembered the last time Su Zhan and Du Yue'e met here, and gently hooked the corners of her lips.

Today is not the day of incense, there are not many people in the temple, and Su Yunlai didn't want to go here more, so he returned to the wing room to rest.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Yunlai sat down, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, she glanced at the dirt in front of the door, and then looked at the cloak hanging on the case next to her, and then said to Jun Yao quietly: "Jun Yao, you go to Mama Lan to order tea, go make a pot of tea, and when she left, her mother asked her to keep it." ”

Jun Yao's expression moved slightly, and then she bowed lightly: "Yes, the slave will go." ”

As soon as Jun Yao left, Su Yunlai's face sank: "Who is it?" Come out, don't you want me to find someone to search for you, do you? ”

"Miss Su is not afraid that she will damage her reputation this time?" Gu Junyan walked out of it and joked with a smile.

Su Yunlai didn't expect to see Gu Junyan here, his face changed, and he sneered: "The young general not only leads troops to fight, but is better at breaking into women's boudoirs?" Is this the majesty of Major General Gu Jia? ”

Gu Junyan touched his nose and said sincerely: "I don't mean to offend, please don't blame Miss Su," after a pause, he said again: "I came to you this time." ”

Su Yunlai was stunned, "The young general is looking for me?" ”

"The matter of Wuzhou, didn't you remind the emperor's eldest grandson?" Gu Junyan asked.

Su Yunlai's face softened slightly, and Gu Junyan asked again, "Why did you think of this?" ”

"The Chen family wants to convict you of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it will not just be a show, you must have a real hammer to confirm your crime, if Wuzhou is lost at this time, and you, as a guard, left your post without permission and went to Xuzhou, all this can be said smoothly, even if you are wronged, the people will not believe it." Su Yunlai said calmly: "In order to bring you down and bring down the Gu family, you naturally have to pay a little price. ”

Gu Junyan looked at her calm appearance, and the strange feeling in her heart came out again, this was obviously just a little girl, but she could guess Chen Ge Lao's purpose.

So when he learned that Su Yunlai and his mother came out to offer incense, he rushed over impulsively.

"Don't worry, I have informed my father that Wuzhou will not be lost." Gu Junyan said promisedly.

Su Yunlai's heart was a little calmer, but she was a little strange, Gu Junyan didn't seem to have to come to her just to tell her about it?

Gu Junyan's eyes fell on Su Yunlai's body, with an inquiring coldness in it: "It's just that I really want to know, Lin Zhengan is the emperor's confidant, and your father also got his current official position because of Li Zhengan, the Lin family, including the Su family, should support the emperor, but you came to remind the emperor's eldest grandson, why?" ”

At this time, Gu Junyan's eyes were sharp and probing, he was no longer the embarrassed and foolish teenager, with the fierceness and majesty that belonged to General Gu Shao.

Su Yunlai knew that his behavior was very strange, Gu Junyan only needed to investigate a little, and he would find the problem, with the relationship between Su Zhan and Yang Taifu, he did not become the prince's companion, it seems that Gu Junyan invited Su Zhan to become Li Sheng's companion on a whim.

But Su Yunlai knew that it wasn't at all, Gu Junyan wouldn't put a person who didn't know the details to Li Sheng's side on a whim, he must have done it for some other reason!

Su Yunlai thought about it like this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, she knew who the final winner of this competition was, so she wanted Su Zhan to get close to Li Sheng, but she forgot, judging from her background, her behavior was very suspicious!

If Su Zhan is regarded as a pawn placed by the second prince next to the emperor's eldest grandson, it will be bad!

Su Yunlai opened her mouth, but she found that she had no way to explain it, she smiled bitterly in her heart, she was worthy of General Gu, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was speechless.

Su Yunlai took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then looked into his eyes and said seriously: "If I say that I am more optimistic about the emperor's eldest grandson than my father, I wonder if the young general will believe it?" ”

Gu Junyan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect her to say such a reason, looking at her seriousness, as if it was a great honor to be trusted by her, which made him feel a strange feeling in vain.

"This ...... Really a very good reason. After a long time, Gu Junyan said slowly.

When Su Yunlai heard his words, he finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
