"Lord of the county, what happened before...... I also ask the county lord to forgive me," the smiling face of the Duchess of Yanguo was very stiff, like a portrait engraved on the plate, with a little vanity, "It's me who is confused, thinking that the boat will not come easily, and I am afraid that the county lord will not know the tricks inside, so I talk too much, and I have been thinking about making compensation to the county lord these days." ”

"I also ask the county lord to forgive me for this time, the matter of this boat is up to the county lord to decide." Duchess Yan Guo was reluctant and couldn't help but say, "Even if you get it, the county lord will decide how to divide it, and we don't dare to have any other meaning in our house." ”

The green and white glazed tea pot turned around in Gu Mingzhu's hand, and she looked at the Duchess of Yan Guo with a smile: "Madame has figured it out?" ”

Duchess Yanguo nodded like pounded garlic: "I figured it out, I was confused, and I begged the county lord not to blame me." ”

Where does she dare not want to understand, if she continues to make trouble, I am afraid that she will not even be able to keep the last point, Yan Guogong told her even more clearly, if she dares to make her own decisions stupidly and bluntly, she will be sent to Zhuangzi, and the middle of the house will be simply handed over to the three ladies to take care of, it is better than being completely defeated by her.

Gu Mingzhu put down the teapot: "Madam, this is a raw part, I am not the kind of person who is not tolerated, not to mention my in-laws." ”

She stopped, but let the heart of the Duchess of Yan Guo rise to her throat, lest she say something, staring at her closely.

"There is no need to change what I said before, but there is one thing that my wife should promise me." Gu Mingzhu said, "My fourth sister has been raised in the house since she was a child, and she is a little afraid of life. ”

She sighed in her heart, she really didn't want to care about Gu Mingli's affairs, but she was always the lady of the Gu family, if she really didn't have a good time, she would have to be supported by her mother's family, instead of letting her cry and cry and come back to drag the Mao family down, it was better to hope that she would have a better life.

Duchess Yan Guo hurriedly agreed, promising that she would take good care of Gu Mingli, and the two of them broke up happily even if they talked with each other.

It's just that what happened in Luoyang is not so simple.

The secret report sent back by the steward of the Luoyang shop said that the people of the Cui family in Luoyang had a dispute with a local merchant for some reason some time ago, and they were also involved in official affairs, which was not a big deal, but I don't know what happened, but several members of the Cui family in Luoyang didn't know what was going on, and suddenly disappeared, and the Cui family was in chaos for a while, and had to ask Boling for help, Cui Lin and Cui Yi rushed over.

And Cui Lin and Cui Yi except for the two days when they first arrived in Luoyang, there was no trace behind them, and the Cui family had become headless flies, and people were looking for them.

The steward on the shop used all his strength, and he never found any news, but he heard that the caravan that had always had business dealings said that a few days ago, a few teams of carriages without emblems quietly went out from Jianchun Gate, and disappeared when they arrived in Lianping Town.

Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly rose, if something really happened to Cui Lin and Cui Yi, it couldn't be that it was in those carriages, seeing that the situation was controlled by someone, and he couldn't report to the Cui family, nor could he get out, so he could only be at the mercy of others.

It's just that Cui Lin is such a person, how can he be so easily restrained, this is really strange.

However, Gu Mingzhu couldn't think much about it, what she was worried about was where the carriages had gone, and what kind of situation Cui Lin was in.

She frowned and thought for a long time, but decided to send the news to Cui's house, and instructed Luoyang to continue to investigate in Lianping Town, and if she could find the whereabouts of the carriage, she would let people go quietly to investigate.

She believed that as long as Cui Lin could be found, he would definitely have a way to escape.

But this thing reveals something strange.

She panicked, and said goodbye to Mao and Gu Mingyu to rush back to the palace, but she met an unexpected guest in front of the mansion.

Lu Sanlang stood in front of Luo's tablet, his expression was indescribably complicated, like relief, but more like sadness, and his thin figure looked even more gloomy.

He stood for a long time before he took the incense from the handmaiden's hand, raised his hand and bowed, and put the incense in the censer with his own hands, and then turned and walked outside.

When he left Gu's mansion and saw Gu Mingzhu's carriage, he politely stepped aside, leaned slightly on the side of the road, and waited for the carriage to pass, and he never had the slightest intention of asking for thousands, as if everything was a meeting in Pingshui.

Through the carriage curtain, Gu Mingzhu saw Lu Sanlang on the side of the road, the thin middle-aged man was haggard and unobtrusive, but he had a noble bearing and etiquette, so that people could not ignore him, even if he bent down, it would not make people feel humble, only appreciation and admiration.

Perhaps this is the demeanor of the family, such as Cui Lin, like him, is the backbone of the family for a hundred years.

When I returned to the Manna Temple, the wind in the hall was even more solemn.

The saint had not woken up for a day, and all the decoctions had been fed into it, and the queen of heaven suspended the court discussion, and hurriedly took the crown prince, the princes, and the ministers of the court to guard the main hall of the Ganlu Palace.

Gu Mingzhu accompanied Princess Anping in the side hall, comforting her who was already crying and her face was red: "The saint has been suffering from a head stroke for a long time, and the previous time was even more dangerous, and the medical officer also said that this disease has a headache and is uncomfortable, if the saint wakes up after a while, I am afraid that I will have to worry again when I see His Royal Highness's appearance." ”

She took the handkerchief in the hand of the palace maid, gently wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "It's not good to look good if you cry too much, at this time, Your Highness must cheer up and help the mother share the affairs in the palace." ”

Princess Anping cried on Gu Mingzhu's shoulder for a while, then slowly stopped her tears, sat up straight and whispered: "Mingzhu, you said that A-Niang is also uncomfortable, I came to greet her early this morning, and I saw her sitting by the window looking at the magnolia flower, and sat for a long time before turning back to talk to me." ”

She lowered her head and sobbed a few times: "If A-Niang doesn't say it, I also know that it was the magnolia tree planted by her father, and she was reluctant to give up her father." ”

Perhaps only at that time did the diva lose all her gorgeous garments, all her noble gestures, and she was truly a fragile and sad woman, a woman who had been snubbed by her husband for many years and was about to lose him.

Even though it all turned out as she wanted, in the end, she would still be sad and miserable.

Gu Mingzhu said in a low voice: "Niangniang is naturally sad, she has been married to the saint for many years, and she is the closest person. ”

Princess Anping nodded: "A-Niang, she just doesn't say it." ”

She stood up suddenly: "Mingzhu, accompany me to the main hall, A-Niang is afraid that her heart is like a knife now, I want to accompany her and protect her." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Princess Anping's pure amber eyes, her heart was sour, and she nodded and got up: "I'll go with Your Highness." ”
