Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyu waited in the side hall, together with the prince and the princess, waiting for the decision of the Taiji Palace.

After all, several princes and princesses were still full of apprehension, and uneasily pulled Gu Mingzhu to ask long and short questions, wanting to inquire about the meaning of the queen mother, after all, this involved the future Tang Dynasty unification, and it would be better if they could know and prepare early.

It's just that Gu Mingzhu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I just rushed back to Chang'an from Boling, how can I know what the Queen Mother means." ”

The princess and her wife had no idea for a while, so they could only sit and wait for the news of the Taiji Palace.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the sad Gu Mingyu, sighed lightly, and called the palace maid Yanhong, who had been waiting with the Queen Mother, to ask: "I just returned to the palace, and I don't know many things, why didn't I see Xu Siyan serving by the Queen Mother's side?" ”

When Yan Hong heard Gu Mingzhu mention Xu Siyan, her heart fluctuated for a while, and her red eyes choked up: "Xu Siyan ...... her"

Xu Siyan is dead.

The Queen Mother was placed under house arrest in the Jiashou Palace, although the Zheng and Lu families did not dare to deliberately treat them harshly, but there were not a few people who were afraid of the Queen Mother's power over the years but had deep resentments.

It's just that a few days later, one morning, Xu Siyan disappeared, no one knew where she went, and she didn't leave any explanation, just disappeared quietly, the queen mother ordered people to look for her for a long time in front of the palace and behind the palace, and the Jiashou Hall was heavily guarded, and she couldn't leave quietly at all.

Some people rumored that she took refuge in the rebels behind the queen mother's back, and some people said that she privately bribed the guards to escape from the palace, but no one thought that she was finally found in the octagonal well in the apse of Jiashou Palace, and she had already died.

Without Xu Siyan by his side, the people and things around the Queen Mother were in chaos, and it wasn't until Princess Gu Mingyu came that there was someone to take care of her, but Xu Siyan could only be hastily buried in the flower garden in the apse of Jiashou Palace.

Gu Mingzhu sat on the couch in a daze, couldn't open her mouth for a long time, and suddenly looked like Xu Siyan in front of her, standing silently beside the queen mother, coldly handling the affairs of the palace, sighing with her under the flower stand of Lingxiao Pavilion The shallow kindness in the palace, when the rebels of King Chen Liuwang broke the palace city, she blocked the queen mother with her thin body, and the piles were as if they were yesterday, she also thought about whose blessing would be such a clear and intelligent person, but she didn't expect it......

She closed her eyes and nodded slightly, but there was a bitter smile on her face: "She's gone like this......"

Gu Mingyu heard the news of Xu Siyan's death, tears fell again, Gu Mingyue died, Xu Siyan also died, King Chen Liuwang died, the queen also died, and the saint was just lingering.

I don't know how long I lasted for such a stagnant atmosphere, and then I heard the palace maid report: "The court meeting is dispersed." ”

Gu Mingzhu and the others were nervous, and they hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall, only to see that there were already courtiers coming out of the main hall, but their faces did not have a look of peace of mind after the catastrophe, more or more solemn, and many old ministers looked resentful, but looked at the soldiers outside the hall who were fighting with swords and did not dare to say much, so they could only walk away angrily.

The ladies didn't know what was going on, but they also knew that it was not good to ask too much here, so they could only say goodbye to each other hastily and hurried out of the palace.

Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyu sisters were different from those princes and princesses, they stopped on the corridor outside the hall, looking at the main hall from a distance, and they were a little puzzled in their hearts.

The little palace maid came to salute: "The county lord, the princess, and the queen mother invite the two to enter the palace." ”

The two sisters entered the hall and saw Cui Cheng, Cui Lin and Li Mi, as well as several of the Queen Mother's most trusted ministers, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but sink in her heart and bowed to Gu Mingyu.

The Queen Mother sat on a high couch, dressed in a plain dress, and only wore a few white jade phoenix hairpins on her head, her face was tired, and when she saw them coming, she had a smile on her tense face, and beckoned them to come over: "Come and sit down in front of me." ”

When Gu Mingzhu and the others sat down, the Queen Mother looked up at them: "What do you think about the things that are up?" ”

Cui Cheng and Cui Lin didn't speak, Xianwang Li Mi looked up at his mother, his expression was complicated and he lowered his head, looking like he was worried and wanted to talk and stopped, or those old ministers who had followed the Queen Mother for many years opened their mouths: "The ministers think that the crime committed by His Royal Highness King Xian is a rebellion, if it is based on the law of the country, it should naturally be severely punished, but King Xian has suffered from soul loss disease earlier, and he is delirious, and it may be ...... to think of this."

The Queen Mother's face turned cold again, and she interrupted them: "Li Yu's crime is judged by Dali Temple and the Three Divisions, and I will not interfere even if I am the Queen Mother, I am asking the matter of the national prince!" ”

The old ministers were also dumbfounded for a while, looking at each other uneasily, not knowing what to say.

The Queen Mother raised her head and sighed: "Just now I have asked the Imperial Medical Department to go to check the pulse of the saint again, the pulse is already in danger, I am afraid that it will be two days today and tomorrow, if the major event cannot be decided, there will be no end to this chaos." ”

The old ministers speculated and whispered: "His Royal Highness Xianwang is young and promising......

Before the words were finished, Li Mi and Gu Mingyu's faces changed, and Li Mi hurriedly got up and bowed to the ground: "Erchen is dull and useless, he was used by the Zheng and Yuan families before, and almost caused a monstrous disaster of destroying the country and destroying the clan. ”

Gu Mingyu also got up and bowed down with tears: "Ask the queen mother for forgiveness." ”

Before the queen mother could speak, Li Mi bit her lip and said: "When the first emperor was there, he rewarded Changsha, Lingnan, and Nanhai as fiefs. ”

These words surprised everyone, and they couldn't help but look at Li Mi and his wife.

Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Mingyu in astonishment, the counties of the South China Sea are far away, the terrain is remote, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, it has always been the land of the Southern Barbarians, and although there is a rule in this dynasty that the prince will be a vassal, but since Taizong, there is also a practice of the prince to stay in Chang'an, but now Li Mi is determined to take the domain, and he wants to go away to the South China Sea, which is really unbelievable.

But I saw Gu Mingyu's face calm, without surprise or uneasiness, hanging his head behind Li Mi, as if he had no objection to his decision.

The Queen Mother carefully looked at Li Mi who was lying on the ground and Gu Mingyu behind him, and spoke for a while: "Let's talk about this later." ”

And there was no objection.

Without King Xian, the old ministers didn't know how to decide the new king, and there was no conclusion for a long time, the Queen Mother impatiently turned her head to look at Cui Cheng and Cui Lin who were sitting aside: "What do the Cui family masters and Cui Wulangjun think?" ”

This time he entered the palace to save the queen mother and break the plot of Zheng and Yuan's two families, the Cui family should be the first merit, and the queen mother also relied more on the Cui family, so she would leave the Cui family's father and son with her cronies, just to listen to the meaning of the Cui family.

Cui Lin didn't speak, his slender eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes were a little gloomy, and his handsome face was even more cold, and he didn't look at the Queen Mother, and he didn't mean to answer.

Cui Cheng still owes a debt, and smiles slightly: "The establishment of a new monarch is a major matter of the fundamental country of the society, I dare not say more, and I ask the Queen Mother to decide." ”

The Queen Mother's face softened, and she also had a smile: "The head of the Cui family is too modest, if it weren't for the protection of the Cui family, I am only afraid that the chaos will be difficult to calm today, and the Cui family is the head of the family, and I will rely on you more in the future." ”

Cui Lin's face became colder and colder, his thin lips were tight, his eyes were sharp, and he swept over the Queen Mother and several old ministers, but after all, he did not say anything after Cui Chengdi looked at him gently.

The smile on Cui Cheng's face never changed, he got up and tidied up his robe without hurrying, and bowed down: "The Cui family listens to the Queen Mother's orders." ”

The last haze on the Queen Mother's face finally disappeared, and she raised her head and smiled: "Okay, I am not the head of a century-old family, I judge the situation, and I also know that I will abandon the pedantic defense and achieve the righteousness of Kuangfu Sheji." ”

Cui Cheng's face was calm, but Cui Lin's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting on the couch next to him, could see it clearly, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over in person.

Cui Lin's hand slowly let go, his eyes calmed down, he took the tea soup she sent, and showed a little comforting smile, Gu Mingzhu's heart was at ease.

The Queen Mother had already gotten the answer she wanted, so she asked them all to retreat, leaving Gu Mingzhu alone: "Mingzhu rushed back from Boling, and the county lord's mansion is afraid that it hasn't been cleaned up yet, so let's live in the palace first." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to disobey, and bent his knees: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her but her eyes were full of tenderness: "Now that I am the only one left with you and Anping, you should talk to me." ”

Gu Mingzhu thought about Xu Siyan's death, and was also sad in her heart, and responded in a low voice.
