Gu Changming knew very well that this person had nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace, and since the last time the Nine Emperor Princes had been, Situ An must have become the empress dowager's cronies. Such a person walking outside the palace is equivalent to representing the queen mother's will, and his rights should not be underestimated.
Situ An looked at everyone's attitude, and said with a deep smile: "It seems that I am very unpopular with Gu Gongzi here, and what I didn't expect is that Gu Gongzi actually took in Liu Zhiyuan's daughter. With such a burden and scourge, won't Gu Gongzi be troublesome in the future? ”
Between these words, it was already very polite, Gu Changming disagreed, lowered his head and chuckled: "I'm not afraid of trouble, not only am I not afraid of trouble, but I also love to meddle in things." Lord Situ came in without the consent of his master, how can I explain it? ”
"I have already identified myself, that is, high-ranking officials and officials come and go freely in the mansion, and they are also the subordinates raised in Lord Gu's old mansion, and they obviously recognize the waist card in the palace, and they dare to stop it." Situ An's smile suddenly retracted, "To make a long story short, if Gu Gongzi doesn't have a major matter that is in danger of life and death, please come with me." ”
"You want to take me into the palace?" Gu Changming put one hand behind his back and made a gesture to Dai Guozi to prevent him from acting rashly.
Dai Guozi watched vigilantly, every time Situ An appeared, he had a feeling like a man on his back, as if under this person's seemingly polite appearance, he was ferocious and would pounce on him at any time to tear apart his prey. Just as he was thinking like this, Situ An's gaze happened to shift, as if he had stabbed Dai Guozi twice deeply, even though he didn't see blood, he was distressed.
"The appearance of Gu Gongzi made me deeply realize that dealing with smart people is worry-free. You can know the meaning of every time you say half of it, no wonder the old man of the Queen Mother is full of praise for Gu Gongzi's character. Situ An put away the claws in the dark night and became non-aggressive, "Since Gu Gongzi knows what I'm coming from, then don't waste time, please follow me." ”
"You just said something that is very correct. You said that there is no life-or-death danger in the matter, and I can leave. It's a misfortune that I happen to have a major event here that can decide the lives and deaths of several people, so please forgive me for not being able to leave for the time being, especially at such a critical time. Gu Changming directly gave Situ An a closed door. He roughly understood in his heart why the Queen Mother wanted to see him, it must be that there was an abnormality in the Nine Emperor Princes.
Although the Nine Emperor Princes were framed and contracted a strange disease, after all, he was also the murderer who killed more than a dozen people in a row. If it weren't for the queen mother to protect her youngest son, the prince's crime would have been the same as that of the common people. At that time, the Queen Mother threatened Liu Zhuxue's life and promised that she would definitely restrain the Nine Emperor Princes, and Gu Changming agreed to back down after careful consideration.
Even if everything is safe these days, the case of the Nine Emperor Princes is always like a thorn, just piercing Gu Changming's heart, and he can still endure it without thinking about it without thinking about it. Now that Situ An has appeared, Gu Changming has to face a concession in his inner torment, and the old appearance of the past is vivid.
Situ An was stunned at first, he didn't expect Gu Changming to be so bold, even his father Gu Wuduo didn't dare to refuse the Queen Mother's appointment so bluntly. Immediately, a deep laugh erupted from the bottom of his throat: "Gu Gongzi, he is really better than the blue, and he is better than the vigorous and resolute Lord Gu back then." ”
Gu Changming was silent, waiting to hear what else Situ An had to say, this person was just a close guard under the Queen Mother in the final analysis, and he was so rampant. If he doesn't want to go with him today, will he still kill people and punish him?
"Since Gu Gongzi politely refused, then I will naturally return to the Queen Mother truthfully when I go back. As for how the old lady of the Queen Mother will be furious and issue a decree, it is not something you and I can control. Situ An was also arrogant, and in the face of Gu Changming's tough attitude, he no longer insisted, arched his hand and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." It was Dai Guozi who opened his mouth this time, "Since the Queen Mother invited you over, it's good for you to go once." Don't worry here, I'll take care of it for you first, and I'll deploy it in detail when you come back. ”
Gu Changming didn't expect Dai Guozi to be so good at talking, and he still helped Situ An. When he looked back and saw Dai Guozi's eyes, Gu Changming suddenly understood that Situ An would not give up, it was nothing to see the Queen Mother once, but the consequences of not seeing the Queen Mother were not something that several of them could bear combined.
Especially Liu Zhuxue's future arrangements, there is no longer a name, and Liu Zhuxue, who can't go back to her home, can't be dug out with ulterior motives anymore and will be injured again. Some things are already deep-rooted old wounds that can't withstand repeated abuse.
"This little brother is very interesting." Situ An also didn't expect that Dai Guozi, who had been standing next to him with a vigilant expression, would take the initiative to compromise, "Gu Gongzi, you should learn more about being a man like this little brother, and whether you join the government or not in the future, you can make yourself live a better life." ”
Gu Changming didn't know why his mind moved, if the situation of the Nine Emperor Prince Rong Xu was stable, why did the Queen Mother let Situ An go through this.
"Let's go, then." Gu Changming was also very simple, his attitude changed, and when he saw that Situ An was still standing still, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Lord Situ, if you delay the hour like this again, I will return to the Queen Mother when I turn around." ”
Situ An gasped, and secretly said in his heart that the kid was quite tough, and he dared to threaten him here. You must know that the Queen Mother is looking for Gu Changming to discuss important matters, and she definitely does not really want to punish this person, if Gu Changming continues like this, he will become a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, and Gu Wuduo's prestige will be in front of him. Such a smart person, it's better not to offend.
After many years of immersion in the palace, Situ An understands the meaning of the words Nengneng Nengshen better than anyone else. It seems that it was not him who said cruel words to Gu Changming just now, and Situ An has changed to a gentle expression: "Gu Gongzi, please don't invite you to see the Queen Mother, I will be the one who will suffer a big loss at that time." Today, Gu Gongzi gave me face, this kindness, I always remember it, and that little brother, the future is limitless. ”
Gu Changming didn't want to take this person's words to heart, this person turned his face faster than turning a book, since Situ An likes to act, then he can also come with his hands: "Lord Situ has always reminded us, naturally we can't let adults be difficult in front of the Queen Mother." ”
Situ An looked at Gu Changming with a gentle smile, and he just wanted to scold people in his heart, such a person really couldn't be offended. Otherwise, once he gains power, he will definitely be a master of hiding a knife in his smile, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "What kind words Gu Gongzi said, the Queen Mother will take care of it, we are all beneficiaries." ”
"How's the situation with the Nine Emperor Princes?" Gu Changming's topic changed as soon as he said it, and what he wanted was that Situ An was caught off guard.
"The Nine Emperors can't hold on." Situ An's words came out, and he knew that something was wrong. How could these words be revealed from his mouth, and the listener was still Gu Changming, and cold sweat was forced out of his forehead all of a sudden.
"Thank you, Lord Situ, for mentioning something, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it when I see the Queen Mother later." Gu Changming didn't mean to take this as Situ An's weakness at all. He walked out of the gate of the Gu family's courtyard casually, and someone had already brought the snow over, "This horse is what I am used to riding, just stay outside the palace gate later." ”
"Gu Gongzi rest assured, he will definitely take care of Aiqi." Seeing that he was no longer aggressive, Situ An secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat on his mount, and walked side by side with Gu Changming all the way.
Gu Changming roughly understood that it should be the Nine Emperor Princes' calamity, and it was estimated that it would be in the next two days. He is considered to be the person who knows after the Nine Emperors fell ill, and he is neither one of the forces in the palace, nor a person in the court and the opposition, but the Queen Mother is easy to discuss this matter with him. So I will ask Situ An to come over and ask for someone.
"The little brother next to you, I still look familiar, there are seven or eight points similar to an old acquaintance before, the way he speaks, the way he walks, if it weren't for that person who would have been dead a long time ago, I really thought he was back." Situ An's lice are not itchy, but they talked about the topic with Gu Changming, "What's the little brother's surname?" ”
Gu Changming understood that even if he didn't say it at this time, Situ An would soon be able to find out by himself, Dai Guozi was originally a catcher in Quyang County, and it was not something that would be disgraceful: "The surname is Dai, I met on my previous trip, and the two can talk very well, and he said that he wanted to come to Kaifeng Mansion to take a look, so I brought him back." ”
"It turned out to be surnamed Dai." Situ An's expression didn't show any clues, and he didn't seem to be touched by this surname.
"There are so many similar people in the world, not to mention that Lord Situ's old acquaintance should not be young, how old he is, but he just looks a little similar." Gu Changming explained it in turn, and said it well.
A trace of dazedness flashed in Situ An's eyes, as if he remembered the details of the past, and then reluctantly smiled: "You are right, the age difference between the two is a little different, the world is so big, it is not for nothing that they look exactly the same and have no blood relationship." There is a little eunuch next to the Queen Mother who is nine points similar to Fang Yuan, the eunuch of Guozijian, and I happened to go to Guozijian once, and I was very surprised to see two people who were so similar. Later, he told the Queen Mother as a joke. ”
Gu Changming was very familiar with Fang Yuanyuan's name when he heard it, and instantly remembered that it was Liu Zhuxue's cousin, and Liu Zhuxue had asked him for help in the past, wanting to find out the reason why he had become a murderer inexplicably. Although it didn't help, it was a little bit of a connection.
"Gu Gongzi, since you have spoken out, let me remind you that after meeting the Queen Mother, if her old man does not take the initiative to mention the condition of the Nine Emperor Princes, it is best for you to just don't know anything and don't ask anything." Situ An was rarely sincere, "The Queen Mother has been in a bit of a mood lately, and if you are angry at that time, you will not be the only one who is unlucky." ”
When the two arrived at the gate of the palace, Gu Changming let go of the snow and left it to wait in place. Immediately followed Situ An to the Changchun Palace where the Queen Mother lived, and just walked to the palace gate, Gu Changming immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Situ An is also a capable person: "Gu Gongzi, please wait here for a while, I will go back to the Queen Mother first." ”
Gu Changming snorted, although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew that there must have been a major change in Changchun Palace.
