After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who eats marrow and knows the taste, has been thinking about the beauty Guo Hui and Guo Ruyi he met in the flower hall in the Blue Mansion. He had seen Guo Ruyi before, but he never found out that she was such a beautiful woman. Moreover, the warmth of the two of them really made him obsessed and unforgettable.

Thinking of all this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the dormitory, neither sitting nor standing, and he simply didn't know how to spend his time alone in the dormitory; Everything in the harem, in his eyes now, has nothing that can attract him.

Now, in his opinion, if he can see this beauty again, he may be able to relieve his longing for a little.

Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang was just about to call the chamberlain in and ask him to lead the order to do this for himself, but he thought that he was the emperor; If this matter is known, it will be secretly ridiculed. Therefore, he kept his mouth closed and kept turning in circles in the palace, muttering something softly in an irritable mood.

The palace maids and eunuchs who served in the palace did not dare to take a breath, for fear that the emperor would vent his anger on himself and end up with no bones.

Zhu Yuanzhang lingered in the hall for a while, but he couldn't reduce his thoughts of meeting Guo Ruyi. It occurred to him that there was someone who might be able to help him; He immediately shouted to the outside world: "Xuan Inner Palace guard Lin Ping to see you." &>

Soon, Lin Ping appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: > See the emperor. &>

& Lin Ping, what is your official position now? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

& Emperor Qi, the minister is only a first-class guard in the inner court. Lin Ping, who didn't know it, replied respectfully.

&Hmm! I want you to do something; If you do that, I will promote you to deputy commander of the guard; But if it doesn't work well, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone suddenly became cold.

& Please decree that the ministers should also do this for the emperor when they go to the soup. Lin Ping was so frightened that he almost knelt down, his waist arched lower, and he said tremblingly.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you remember the woman I met in the Blue Mansion?" &>

& The minister had long forgotten, and he didn't remember it at all. Lin Ping was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would find trouble with him, so he quickly cleared himself.

&Hmm! You are very good at being a person; But what I want you to do has something to do with this person, and you have to think of her well. Zhu Yuanzhang said softly with a hypocritical smile on his face.

Lin Ping, who didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, thought about it for a while, but didn't know how to speak.

And Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, turned back to the dragon chair and sat down, picked up the book, and read it. This time, Lin Ping was even more confused.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was pretending to be reading a book, suddenly read out a poem: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman." &>

Lin Ping, who was standing in the hall, was naturally well-behaved and liked to probe the mind of his boss, and when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang recite such a poem, Lin Ping immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts; Immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen retired; Weichen must do his best to do this for the emperor. &>

"Go down to your temple." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said; Then I continued to read the book by myself.

Lin Ping, who exited the main hall, felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, if the emperor explained this matter today, if it was done, he would be able to rise smoothly in the future; Imagining that he could be like those princes and ministers in the future, he could walk in every part of the capital with great might, and his heart trembled.

However, thinking of the emperor's cold snort, Lin Ping's brain still felt that his brain was a little big; Although this matter is of course a scandal today, it can be kept secret by both sides, even if someone knows about it and spreads it, I believe that according to the majesty of the royal family, it is not a big deal; In Lin Ping's opinion, even if Lan Yu had infinite anger in his heart, he didn't dare to intervene and publicize it to the outside world. However, if Guo Ruyi, the godsister who was originally Queen Ma, is unwilling to obey, then there is no way to think about it, although the emperor has supreme power, he can't use his power to force the minister's wife to have an affair with him!

Lin Ping, who was thinking about it, felt for a while that he might be able to handle this matter by pressing Lan Yu according to the emperor's instructions; After a while, I thought that I had no basis for my empty words, and maybe I would be beaten out by the people of the Blue Mansion. After thinking about it, I feel torn.

At this time, he thought of a man; If he falsely passed on the emperor's message, this person would definitely solve this matter well; Anyway, he promised to complete the task in front of the emperor, but he didn't say how to complete the task; Liu Bowen, Lin Ping felt that he was relaxed, and his feet were much faster than usual.

& Master Qiqi, the imperial guard Lin Ping asks to see. The housekeeper walked in and said to Hu Weiyong, who was looking at his hall with his hands behind his back and with satisfaction.

Don't look at Hu Weiyong's pretense in front of hundreds of officials, he always feels that in addition to the emperor, he has a high position, as if he can give orders to anyone; But these imperial guards who have been by the emperor's side all the year round don't dare to be a little slack, these people are more trusted by the emperor than those so-called wolf and tiger brocade guards, these people can never afford to offend; Therefore, Hu Weiyong hurriedly said: "Please, please." &>

Before the words fell, Lin Ping had already appeared outside the hall: "Lord Hu, I broke into the house without permission, and I ask for forgiveness, forgiveness." Lin Ping clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile.

Stepping out of the room quickly, Hu Weiyong also clasped his hands into fists and said: "It's rare, it's rare!" I wonder why Guard Lin is free to come to my house today? As he spoke, he drew his right hand towards the hall, and then walked into the hall with Lin Ping.

Lin Ping glanced around and said, "Master Hu is really a rich and noble person!" Looking at the layout of this hall, it is really dazzling; I think almost every item is comparable to what is in the palace compound. &>

Although Lin Ping said casually with a smile on his face, Hu Weiyong next to him sighed in his heart, but at this time, he didn't have the smugness he had just now, and his mouth was as uncomfortable as if he had just eaten a bitter gall, and he almost wanted to slap himself.

Hu Weiyong said with a bit of a stutter: "If Guard Lin likes it, just take it for fun." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Ping's expression carefully.

& How can I win people's love? Although Lin Ping really wanted to put all these things into his pocket, he was still self-aware; Besides, now that he has to rely on this Lord Hu to pave the way for his promotion and fortune, it is even more impossible to stretch out his hand; Therefore, quickly said politely.

>> Guard Lin, you're too polite. With our relationship, what else do you say about yours and mine? Although the two have never had any contact, Hu Weiyong still acts like the two are brothers.

&You're welcome, Lord Hu, I'm here to pass on an edict from the emperor; Is it convenient for you to say here? Lin Ping approached Hu Weiyong and said in a low voice.

As soon as he heard that Lin Ping had brought the emperor's message, and then looked at his somewhat mysterious appearance, Hu Weiyong quickly turned his head to look at it, and said at the same time: "You all go down, by the way, no one is allowed to get close to the hall." Before his words fell, the maids and servants in the hall all walked out quickly.

>What is the Emperor's message? After seeing that all the people had left, Hu Weiyong hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"Master Hu, do you remember the last time you were in the Blue Mansion? Lin Ping did not immediately say the emperor's dictation, but asked other questions.

> Remember, remember, of course remember; The emperor is here in person, how could I forget. &;Hu Weiyong said again and again: & Lan Yu was favored that time, but I didn't expect him to invite the emperor &; Hu Weiyong said enviously.

& The emperor's edict is related to this visit to the Blue Mansion. Lin Ping smiled mysteriously and said softly.

&How? It has something to do with the Blue Mansion, what is the matter, and I ask the Lin guards to hurry up and say, this official is itching. Hu Weiyong rubbed his hands anxiously and asked repeatedly.

& Lan Yu's newlywed wife, I don't know if Master Hu knows? At this time, Lin Ping seemed to be very calm, and still asked unhurriedly.

&Know, know; Who doesn't know that I also went to the house to congratulate him on his wedding gift, and this Mrs. Guo is still Queen Ma's godsister; Is there anything that can't be done? Hu Weiyong was confused by what Lin Ping said, and asked a little puzzled.

& The thing is that the newlywed lady, the emperor met this Mrs. Guo by chance after the celebration of the palace and the hundred officials, and he has been shocked, these days, the emperor is in a very bad mood. Lin Ping deliberately paused when he said this.

>. Why did the emperor fall in love with this Mrs. Guo? Hu Weiyong was taken aback and blurted out.

I didn't say that, I wonder why Master Hu thinks so? Lin Ping smiled and asked casually.

Hu Weiyong, who felt regret after speaking, scolded Lin Ping fiercely in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: & Slip of the tongue, this is a momentary slip of the tongue. Before he finished speaking, a few drops of crystal sweat appeared on Hu Weiyong's forehead.

Ignoring Hu Weiyong's embarrassed appearance, Lin Ping said: "The emperor summoned me into the imperial study this morning and read two lines of poetry to me, I want to read it to Lord Hu again." As he spoke, without waiting for Hu Weiyong to ask, Lin Ping said: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in Hezhizhou, My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good." &>

As soon as Lin Ping finished reading these two lines of poetry, Hu Weiyong was shocked on the spot, and he didn't know what he was thinking about?

"Lord Hu, do you understand what the emperor means? Looking at the stunned Hu Weiyong, Lin Ping coughed and asked.

& Understand, understand, understand. Hu Weiyong cried with a sad face and said in a loud voice.

>> By the way, Lord Hu; The emperor also said that if you think the matter is done, you can notify me, and I will report to the emperor; The emperor has not yet made a final decision on this matter, whether it should be done bigger or smaller. Seeing that he accepted his false message from the emperor, Lin Ping took the opportunity to add more content to facilitate his promotion.

& Okay, okay; The lower officials must handle this matter well. Hu Weiyong, who secretly scolded Zhu Yuanzhang for being ridiculous, had no choice but to take this matter.

& Lord Hu, the next official takes his leave. Lin Ping was also afraid that Hu Weiyong would ask for details, so he threw this hot potato out anyway, and he hurriedly slipped away.

After sending Lin Ping away, Hu Weiyong circled back and forth in the hall; Although he knew that if such a thing was spread, it would always be bad for the emperor's reputation, but could he refuse the emperor's request? But after all, he was well-versed and familiar with all the affairs of the emperor, and soon after much deliberation, he decided to proceed in his own way.

He first looked for a possible breakthrough from the periphery, but it took a lot of effort and did not find any threshold that would allow him to start this matter; Subsequently, he decided that this was not the way out.

This time, he came directly to the Blue Mansion and found Lan Yu.

& Lord Hu came to the house this time, I don't know what to do with looking for this official? &;The blue jade, which looks a little old, has completely lost its previous brilliance; It seems that his face has not been washed, his beard has not been shaved, and the whole person looks very haggard.

& Why did Lord Lan become so like? The old man used to be suave and bright. Looking at Lan Yu's appearance, Hu Weiyong was taken aback.

>> Master Hu, didn't you come today to ask me about these things? Lan Yu smiled bitterly, avoided the topic, and asked rhetorically.

& Lord Lan, the emperor has not had an early dynasty in the past few days, do you know about this? Oh, right; Am I not asking nonsense? Lord Lan, you go to court every day, and you also know about it. Hu Weiyong, who didn't know how to speak, had no choice but to pull Xila.

"Master Hu, if you have anything to say, right? I haven't been in good health for the past two days, and my head hurts a lot. Lan Yu, who didn't want to be disturbed, tactfully ordered to evict customers.

& Lord Lan's health is not good, do you need me to help you find a doctor? Hu Weiyong didn't seem to hear Lan Yu's eviction order, but took a step forward and said with concern.

> The ruler has received the will of the lord; I don't want to go home early to recuperate. Seeing that Hu Weiyong was not leaving, Lan Yu immediately secretly stimulated him.

>> Since Lord Lan rejected the old man's recommendation, this is nothing; But Lord Lan still has to look at the doctor, there is something to ask Lord Lan for advice; I'm afraid that Lord Lan is too sick to bear it. Hu Weiyong only felt that his heart was on fire, if it wasn't for the emperor's request, he would have had a seizure in front of the court; So, said with sarcasm in his tone.

"This official listens to you, please say it to Master Hu." Lan Yu said in a high voice.

>> First of all, I would like to congratulate Lord Lan, who may rise all the way in the future; Don't forget about the official when the time comes. Hu Weiyong hugged his fists and said: "The emperor sent a message to me today: Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman; Let me convey this message to Lord Lan, and I think Lord Lan will know how to handle this matter for the emperor. &;Hu Weiyong decided not to go around in circles, and directly stated his purpose.

Hearing this, Lan Yu's whole body trembled as if she had been struck by thunder. The usual rationality and concept of interest in his mind had been completely lost by this time, and he shouted in a lost voice: "No, how can I do such a thing? Although the emperor owns the world, he should not do such an unethical thing! &>

& Blue Jade, Lord Blue! Hu Weiyong said in a low and threatening tone: "How can you say such a thing? If these words are heard by others and reported to the emperor, there is no need for me to explain what will happen to you, your family, your parents in the high hall, and your children. &>

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and tears fell to the ground.

>> Lord Lan, I have passed the emperor's edict to me, and the official has taken his leave. After speaking, Hu Weiyong clasped his fists and saluted, and turned away.

The excitement in Lan Yu's heart slowly calmed down after Hu Weiyong's words were spoken; But the situation of that night came back to his mind, and his heart trembled; In desperation, he turned around and walked towards the inner room

Looking at Guo Ruyi, who was also haggard, Lan Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and big tears kept flowing.

&Husband, what's wrong with you? Guo Ruyi, who pretended to be laughing, stood up, walked to Lan Yu, and wiped his tears for him. Lan Yu, who was already in pain, in this situation, his feelings could no longer be self-contained, he hugged his wife and cried!

& Really? You tell me about it. Guo Ruyi, who was tightly held in his arms by Lan Yu, gently stroked his face and asked in a low voice.

Lan Yu leaned into her ear, sobbing and telling her Hu Weiyong's intentions. Guo Ruyi, who was shocked by this incident, was stunned for a while, and was a little sober for a while, but he didn't say a word; The two of them sat in relative silence, and for a long time, for a long time, she left her husband's arms, and at last, she asked, "What shall we do?" &>

This is a question that Lan Yu cannot answer at all, because as a man, in theory, he must have the ability to protect his wife, which is also the responsibility of a husband. However, in the face of an overbearing emperor, he felt completely powerless. Although he is above the court, he is already brilliant and enviable in the eyes of people; In front of the Blue Mansion Gate, there are guards with swords to indicate their status, and there are honor guards and guards in front and behind; But in reality, there is no great guarantee for one's own safety, or perhaps the safety of one's own family.

These things kept flashing in Lan Yu's mind like a floating illusion, and he once fiercely thought that if he did not hesitate to die, he would fight to the end, but when he thought of the many terrible things since the founding of this dynasty, his heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

As a result, he was unable to answer his wife's questions. And Guo Ruyi also knew that her husband had no idea like herself, and the two were completely in a state of sorrow

Soon, the palace sent a guard of honor to pick up Guo Ruyi; Chu Xing, who came to pick up Guo Ruyi, told Lan Yu that Queen Ma missed her godsister and wanted to take her into the palace to narrate her sisterhood.

Looking at the royal honor guard in the distance, Lan Yu felt that her heart was completely broken, and her legs couldn't support her body, and she slowly fell to the ground

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to make Guo Ruyi Concubine Guo Hui; At the same time, the people of the Imperial City were ordered to celebrate for three days as a sign of celebration.
