On May 4 of the seventh year of Xiankang, Emperor Cheng suddenly fell ill in the Taiji Palace, the ministers were frightened and shocked, the Son of Heaven was immediately moved to the West Hall, and the Empress Dowager Yu ordered all the imperial doctors in the palace to rush to the West Hall.

Empress Dowager Yu was furious and wanted to kill the imperial doctor to vent her grief and anger, but fortunately the sick Son of Heaven stopped her in time to avoid an innocent blood flow.

It was also on this day that the Son of Heaven knew that his life was about to end, so he immediately issued an edict to Sima Yue, the king of Langya, and at the same time appointed Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, Yu Bing, the supervisor of the middle book, Chu Jiye, the servant of the servant, the left servant of the Shangshu, Wang Biaozhi, and his newly promoted prince, Shen Qian, the concubine of the prince, to accept the edict as the minister of Gu Ming.

As soon as the edict of the Son of Heaven was announced, all the ministers were in mourning and uproar, one wept bitterly that the Son of Heaven had died at a young age, and the other was surprised by the Son of Heaven's move to appoint Shen Qian, who had just been promoted, as the minister of the Shen clan, but before the Son of Heaven fell ill, no one dared to raise objections.

And what is even more puzzling is that after King Langya and several ministers who took care of their lives before the Son of Heaven fell ill, the Son of Heaven actually ordered everyone to leave his bedroom, and only asked Shen Qianlang to speak before the collapse, this conversation that no one was present to record lasted for half an hour, Shen Qianlang came out of the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and the Empress Dowager Yu rushed into the inner room of the Son of Heaven, and not long after, there was a wail in the inner room of the Son of Heaven.

"The Son of Heaven is dead!"

In the west hall, the minister's wife and the palace maid and eunuch knelt down and wept bitterly.

The illness of the Son of Heaven came really suddenly, and the ministers were still confused, so they ushered in this sudden bad news, and at this moment, a harem woman rushed to the front of the Son of Heaven's bedroom with her hair scattered and shouted: "Your Majesty, the concubine already has your flesh and blood, Your Majesty, you are not without a queen, the concubine has your child." ”

However, the woman didn't cry for long, and was soon pulled down, and the Empress Dowager Yu only said indifferently: "The edict has been issued, you are too late!" ”

In fact, it is not too late, everyone knows in their hearts that for the sake of the stability of the country and the stability of the country, and for their Yu clan to continue to control the government, the Empress Dowager Yu categorically will not agree to the Son of Heaven to pass on the throne to a fetus who does not know whether it is a man or a woman in the womb.

King Langya is her own flesh and blood, and he must be the best candidate.

The Son of Heaven died suddenly, the whole country mourned, and the Health City fell into a very strange tranquility and mourning, and some people even said that the sudden death of the Son of Heaven was caused by the fright of Huan Da Sima Tun Bing Baishi.

"The Son of Heaven was scared to death by Da Sima!" Someone said this in private.

Of course, before the death of the Son of Heaven, an assessment of Shen's Qianlang has also become a topic of curiosity and debate among people all over the world, and the name of Shen's Qianlang has since spread all over the world, and everyone knows it, and some people even copied all the remarks he made on the assessment and all the celebrities, and passed it on in the family and at the banquet.

"If you don't read Lisao, you can't be called a celebrity."

"However, what is the intention of Qu Zi's departure, to force Qin and the tiger, the nobles of Chudu only know how to indulge in pleasure, do not want to forge ahead, do not know the worries, drunk and dream of death, the current national disaster, Qu Zi is angry and makes a riot, aiming to wake up the nobles, worry about the country and the people."

"There is also the sentence 'You words are enough to bury reason, Qiwen is enough to seize righteousness', Shen Qianlang is satirizing us aristocratic children, who only know how to talk and don't think about serving the country!"

The discussions outside more or less reached Gu Yu's ears, and Gu Yu only laughed, at this moment, she understood what the Son of Heaven really meant for her assessment?

Now she plays Shen Qianlang is also a celebrity, and attacking celebrities as a celebrity will have enough weight to wake up some people.

The Son of Heaven is using her to win people's hearts!

Naturally, a secret conversation with the Son of Heaven before his death has also become a matter of curiosity and speculation by everyone, so even the Empress Dowager Yu once sent a secret edict to the Xianyang Palace, and asked the Son of Heaven what he told her, Gu Yu did not answer, since the Son of Heaven did not want people to know, then she did not need to let irrelevant people know.

However, the death of the Son of Heaven has buried hidden dangers in her heart, and in her previous life, she has always suspected that the death of the Son of Heaven is by no means a normal death, but she did not expect that this life would come so quickly.

Who would want the Son of Heaven to die? What good did the Son of Heaven's death do to that person?

And who is the woman who is pregnant with the dragon?

Does all this have anything to do with Huan Che?

Thinking of this, Gu Yu suddenly found that in the turbulent days of Health City, Huan Che seemed to have disappeared, and no one knew his news, nor did anyone know where he was.

Originally, she was not interested in Huan Che's whereabouts, but the death of the Son of Heaven had to attract her attention, with Huan Che's reputation and talent, as long as he appeared in a corner of the health city, it would inevitably attract everyone to watch, and the momentum would be immense, so it would be abnormal to disappear like this.

Perverse must be demonic!

"Lady, I found out, I heard that seven days ago, Huan Langjun disappeared, and he disappeared with his personal maid and hidden guard, Mrs. Li was so angry that she killed several maidservants!"

Missing?

Gu Yu's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he suddenly stood up, and unconsciously the portrait drawn by the Shen family flashed in his mind.

"What's wrong? Wife? Shiqin saw that her face had changed drastically, and she couldn't help asking.

Gu Yu only whispered to himself: "I'm afraid that something bad will happen!" With that, he twisted up his court clothes and prepared to go to Taicheng.

Shiqin and Shihua's faces changed slightly.

Lady this is ...... Are you already heading towards the court?

Since the lady came back from Taicheng six days ago and told them that the Son of Heaven named her the prince and appointed her as the minister of life, the two maids were like a dream, and until now they are a little confused, and the news of the death of the Son of Heaven is also a thunderbolt, which makes them sincerely worried for a long time, I don't know whether the edict of the Son of Heaven is good or bad for the lady?

After becoming the prince's concubine, can the lady still marry in the future?

Maybe the holy decree that the Son of Heaven passed on to the Gu Mansion to make the lady the prince and the young master was just a secret decree, and not many people knew about it, but this prince was the son of heaven who gave an order to the Shen Qianlang pretended to be the lady in front of all the ministers, and the lady couldn't do it if she didn't receive the order!

The seven-day mourning period has passed, King Langya is about to ascend the throne, and King Langya will soon choose a concubine after ascending the throne.

After drinking a bowl of sour plum soup, the two maidservants changed into court clothes for her, and wore the lacquered sarongs that scholars often wear, and Gu Yu was ready to go out.

Shen and Chen Yu happened to greet them from outside the door.

"Ah Yu, what do you like to eat, Ah Niang will make lunch and wait for you to come back and eat together." Shen walked up with a smile, and while dressing her, he said, "Even if my daughter is a man, she is also heroic and charming!" ”

"The sour plum soup made by A-Niang is very delicious, I still want to drink it, in addition, I also want to eat lotus crisp and aloe vera fish." Gu Yu also replied with an unceremonious smile.

"Okay, A-Niang will make it for you to eat." Shen smiled, "Then you go and come back quickly!" ”

Gu Yu nodded, waved his hand to the Shen family, and walked out quickly.

Looking at Gu Yu's departing figure, Shen looked stunned, and suddenly fell silent.

"Lady, you're worried about ......"

Chen Yu saw that she was stunned when she looked at the bowl of sour plum soup that Gu Yu had just drunk, and couldn't help asking.

Shen sighed and replied, "I hope I guessed wrong, otherwise, how can this be good?" ”

"Lady, I saw that Xie Qilangjun was kind and kind-hearted, not like a person who would abandon him from the beginning to the end, and I heard that a few days ago, An Shigong presented a table to the Son of Heaven and asked the Son of Heaven to marry Xie Qilangjun for his mother."

Shen Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then his face showed a look of joy and worry.

"Then why, don't you see someone from the Xie family come to propose?" Shen asked again.

Chen Yu thought for a while, and didn't seem to understand much, but she still comforted the Shen family and said: "Don't worry, lady, Xie Qilangjun also went to the Gu Mansion a while ago, and the slaves heard that he also went to find the old man's master, I'm afraid he has already mentioned it." ”

"Yes! After all, Ah Yu is still surnamed Gu, and she is a member of the Gu family, and her marriage must be agreed by the head of the Gu family. ”

Thinking about it like this, Shen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

On the other side, as soon as Gu Yu walked out of the gate of the "Shen Mansion", he saw that Xie Xuan was also dressed in a white scholar's robe, and he was also wearing a lacquered sarong crown on his head, standing under a starry flower tree and waiting.

Because it was rare to see Xie Xuan wearing a scholar's white ramie robe, Gu Yu couldn't help but bend his lips and laugh, Xie Xuan walked towards her, grabbed her slender waist, and asked with a smile: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Now Xie Xuan seems to have gained weight, his face is not red, his heart is not beating, he does not speak, and he will make fun of people like Wang Wulang.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will say that you have broken your sleeve?" Gu Yu would not be polite to him, and his eyes were full of ridicule and threats.

"Anyway, I've already broken my sleeves, and I'm afraid that I will be talked about again." Xie Xuan replied.

Gu Yu smiled, gently pushed him away, and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, I'm going to the court." ”

As soon as he heard about the court, Xie Xuan's expression slowly calmed down, and after slowly letting go of her, he asked in a low voice: "Ah Yu, what did the Son of Heaven say to you that day in the West Hall of the Taiji Hall before he died?" ”

He didn't want to spy on any secrets, but he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would impose some heavy burdens and responsibilities on her, or even set a trap.

Gu Yu pursed his lips and smiled again, patted him on the shoulder, and said mysteriously: "It's a long story now, I'll tell you later." ”

Xie Xuan didn't want to ask any more, but was full of doubts and worries, and went to the court with Gu Yu.

After arriving in Taicheng Zhongshu Province, they got an earth-shattering news from Shangshu Zuo Servant Wang Biaozhi -

Huan Da Sima actually wanted to send troops to the health city on the grounds that his concubine Huan Che was imprisoned by the imperial court.
