It's just that the matter of the birth release ceremony is still spreading, but after a few days of hard work, the lord of Lingling and the crown princess are not on good terms, and the rumor that the queen of heaven is in charge of the palace and secretly murders the princess and the imperial heir in her womb is known to everyone in Chang'an's noble mansion, although people dare not say it openly, but they all talk about it in private, and even King Xian and Gu Mingyu are also involved, and the matter that was originally quelled by Gu Mingzhu has become a conspiracy.

There were also people in the palace who began to spread it, and even the Ganlu Hall heard about it.

Xu Siyan sent the words to Gu Mingzhu, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid that this matter was deliberately done by someone with a heart, in order to damage the relationship between the East Palace and the county lord." ”

Gu Mingzhu unconsciously knocked lightly on the table in front of him, his expression was a little more cold, this person did have a heart, not only provoked the incident that had been calmed down that day, but once again provoked the suspicion and misunderstanding between the crown princess and her, and even used the marriage between King Xian and Gu Mingyu to make a fuss, but it was indeed able to muddy the water.

She said lightly: "Since it is a rumor, there is no real evidence, and the more you explain, the more suspicious it becomes." ”

It's not good for Gu Mingzhu to say much about this kind of thing, otherwise I'm afraid it will get darker and darker, but if the crown princess is willing to say a few words, or even come to Ganlu Hall for a walk, and see Gu Mingzhu, the rumors will be self-defeating.

However, the rumors have been circulating for so many days, and the East Palace must have heard the news, but the crown princess did not move at all, just let the rumors spread in the palace and your mansion one after another, it was clear that she really believed this, and she might even think that Gu Mingzhu intended to harm herself.

Xu Siyan couldn't help but think of the queen of heaven in the palace and sighed helplessly, and said that he never thought that the crown princess was also from a famous family, and the old Lu Guogong was also the emperor, but he didn't expect that the lady who taught her was so confused, and it was just a matter of easily believing in other people's provocations, seeing that the East Palace, the Xianwang Mansion and the Ganlu Hall were all involved in such a trumped-up rumor, she not only didn't want to calm down the rumors, but she also looked like she thought it was true, which was really stupid.

She shook her head slightly, but asked Gu Mingzhu with some hesitation: "Do you just ignore it?" By their gibberish? ”

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while and said softly: "There is Lao to help me find out where these rumors came from." ”

Although the rumors have spread all over the city, there is a source after all, and she wants to know who did it.

Xu Siyan responded, and said softly: "Some time ago, the county lord was not in the palace, but Princess Xian handed a sign to enter the palace for a few days, and went to the East Palace after asking for Niangniang. ”

Gu Mingzhu understood, and said to her with a smile: "Thank you Si Yan." ”

After all, Xu Siyan has been with the queen of heaven for many years, and in less than a day, he has already found out that the matter of the birth release ceremony came from the mouth of the lady of Taichangqing Luofu, she originally just talked to the maid who was waiting around her, but she never thought that it would be known to everyone, and now Mrs. Luo has been so frightened that she sent her to live at her mother's house in Luoyang, and she didn't dare to teach her to stay in Chang'an.

It's just an ordinary lady of your mansion is talking nonsense, and she won't think of involving King Xian, after all, she taught people to find out, and the Qibao banquet was dispersed that day, Guo Qi Niangzi deliberately went out of the palace with Luo Da Niangzi and Pan Jiu Niangzi, and said a lot of words on the way, and in the end, she said goodbye to these ladies who didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays.

After listening to this, Gu Mingzhu smiled and thanked Xu Siyan.

Princess Xian and Guo Qi Niangzi!

Gu Mingzhu leaned on the table, slowly stroked the fur mattress covering his body, and raised his eyebrows to reveal a cold smile.

Originally, it was in her plan, and it seemed that it could be advanced.

In the silence of the Ganlu Hall and the East Palace at the same time, the rumors spread for a while, and finally slowly faded away, but the speculation about the relationship between the crown princess and Gu Mingzhu was buried in everyone's hearts after all.

Seeing that it was the Shangyuan Festival, the sage intended to highlight the grand occasion of the country's peace and security, and specially instructed the Ministry of Rites to arrange that the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival should be held in Chang'an.

Gu Mingzhu was a little uneasy when he left the palace, and told Xu Siyan: "Niangniang's Luan Jia has already instructed the Shanggong Bureau to prepare, and the people accompanying me are afraid that you will have to bother." ”

Xu Siyan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the county lord has commanded, you just have to go to enjoy the lanterns with Her Royal Highness the princess, don't worry about this." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded with a smile, got into the carriage and left the palace.

When she returned to the county lord's mansion, she instructed Mama Han to bring news and money to ask him to rush back to the county lord's mansion.

"How is it over there in Sizhou?" Gu Mingzhu asked the money steward to sit down outside the screen, and asked the maid to bring him tea and soup, and then asked, "Have the shops and stewards been settled?" ”

Steward Qian replied respectfully: "They have all been settled, the silk weaving mill and spice shop have also opened, and the business is very good." ”

This Gu Mingzhu is not worried, Qian Er and the mother-in-law of the Wang family are carefully selected by Queen Zhaowen, and their ability to do things is undoubted, since letting them take care of the county lord's mansion industry, the shop Zhuangzi and the silk weaving workshop are all running very well, and the business has slowly spread from Chang'an, and even in Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou, there are already shops, and there are more and more family wealth in her hands.

She nodded with satisfaction, but said, "I still have an urgent matter to be handed over to you, and you must go in person to rest assured." ”

Steward Qian's face suddenly became solemn, these days, Gu Mingzhu didn't care much about the Grange shop, but only asked people to check the accounts regularly, but now he said it so solemnly, it must be a very important matter, and he didn't dare to be careless.

"As soon as you leave the house, you will immediately pack up, and take someone to Sizhou to help me run a secret errand......"

Her voice was low but the words were clear, and she said her request in detail, but it made the money manager stunned for a while, full of doubts, but she didn't dare to ask more.

He knew that the county lord would never be untargeted, just like the previous time he bought and sold spices, let them go to buy spices from Hu Shang, and even the price had been set, which made people scratch their heads, until the end they found out that it was a game that had been prepared for a long time.

This time is no exception.

Although he was still confused, he didn't dare to ask more, and honestly agreed: "The little one will go and prepare, and he will rush to Sizhou immediately." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded and smiled: "Go ahead, do as I say, and let them send a letter back to the house as soon as there is news." ”
