There was a row of ministers standing outside the door of the imperial study, some of whom were called by the emperor in advance, and some of them came because of something to do, but a group of people were waiting outside the door, each with their own thoughts on their faces, and the people who entered the room had stayed in it for more than an hour, and the matter of meeting the emperor alone made people more and more suspicious in this increasingly foggy court situation.

It is rumored that Tiancheng County ordered Lord Gu to return to Beijing this time because the elders in the family were seriously ill, and he came back here, so this sudden marriage may also be explainable, and it is reasonable for the old man to want to watch his grandson start a family and start a business, and the emperor made such a holy decree, which gave the Gu family enough face.

Thinking about it, the old man Gu, who has always been rumored to dislike Lord Gu as an official, should also approve it somewhat, after all, this is another thing worthy of glorifying the lintel in addition to the high school champion, the emperor gave marriage, which means that it carries the blessing of the royal family.

They couldn't imagine that Master Gu was so young, and the emperor was so important, and his trend was likely to be close to Prime Minister An!

Compared to the whispers between a group of people outside, the atmosphere inside the room was much colder.

Gu Qiyan had been standing for more than an hour, but he had a chance to speak, but in a quarter of an hour, he had already explained the truth to what the emperor asked just now, but looking at the emperor's expression, it seemed that he was ...... Not quite convinced.

Gu Qiyan's eyes were very shallow, and there was no worry on his face, he didn't seem to be surprised at all that the emperor suddenly asked him today, he returned to the capital for a few days, and today he met the emperor in person, although the emperor did not reveal any thoughts in the early dynasty, but when there were only two people at the moment, what he cared about was why Prime Minister An did not come here after the early dynasty, and what the emperor meant......

The person on the seat was dressed in a yellow robe, and the tiredness on his face was not concealed in the slightest, and his face, which was originally about forty, seemed to have inadvertently aged a lot, and the emperor had not behaved like this in the early dynasty, Gu Qiyan looked at it, and the thoughts in his heart were about to be spoken.

But suddenly the person in front of him spoke, and the temptations in his words faded a lot today......

"Has Gu Aiqing been to the Prime Minister's Mansion since she returned to Beijing?" The wrinkles between the eyebrows and eyes of this face were much deeper because of this smile, and the essence of the eyes flashed, but Gu Qiyan was still very keenly aware of the other intentions of the person in front of him.

This marriage may seem to outsiders to be a gift from the emperor to him, but if the emperor did not ask for it, he would not choose such a ...... The right moment.

What's more, after he returned to Beijing, he heard that the emperor originally planned to hold a wedding banquet for the eldest princess in recent days, but later he stepped back because of the choice of the date, and it was about to be April, and the last auspicious day of the zodiac in March was indeed only two days later.

Two days later...... I don't know if these two days will be tormented or will pass too quickly.

"The minister has not had time to visit because of trivial matters at home, thinking that he will wait for the head of the family to recover from his illness before meeting the prime minister, so that he has no worries in his heart, and he has a lot of fun." Gu Qiyan's posture and tone of speech have the usual gentleness of a scholar, but the appearance that he hasn't seen for half a year seems to have more perseverance on the outside and forbearance that has not been expressed.

Although Tiancheng County is not a rich place, it is not like the Linxian Prefecture and the whole state where the people live in poverty, so it seems that ...... Or something happened in Amagi County that was not reported to the capital.

Although some of the people in the Opportunity Workshop stayed in Tiancheng County mainly to investigate the cause of the frequent incidents in recent days, the robbery of disaster relief money in the winter, and the premeditated murder of the officers and soldiers sent thereafter, until the assassination of the county commander, it seems that these things have not reached a very noticeable time in half a year.

In addition to sending Tianxing to adjust the mission this time, the reason why he gave an attitude was not so positive, firstly, because he had already sent someone from Liangjifang to deal with it, and secondly, this matter was originally handled by An Ming...... Isn't it also for the sake of his extremely trusted prime minister?

This kind of means is very similar to a certain person.

A coldness gradually appeared on Mu Qisi's gentle and wise face, and the complex emotions that appeared at that moment in his eyes did not hide its content, in Gu Qiyan's opinion, there was no anger and anger at all, but there was some inexplicable implication of some murderous intent, extremely faint, but in these eyes that were accustomed to seeing the life and death of others, this murderous aura seemed completely unnecessary.

"I also want to call Gu Lao an honorific sentence, that is indeed to take good care of his old man, Gu Aiqing's filial piety also makes me very moved." The emperor's meaning didn't seem to be here at all, and the person standing in front of him nodded, and some deep thought flashed between his eyebrows.

"The minister has just done his part...... If there is nothing to do today, the minister will retire first. Gu Qiyan's tone was calm and even indifferent, and the emperor's thoughts were ...... Some were not in his imagination.

The old man originally tried his best to prevent him from entering the officialdom, but because of this......

Mu Qisi looked at the man in front of him, and then his squinted eyes seemed to understand something, and he nodded a little indifferently, this has been talking about for more than an hour, and those ministers outside can understand some facts.

Gu Qiyan's expression was flat, and he slowly retreated. The eyes of the people in the room seemed to be in a trance looking at the piled up on the table, but the coldness that appeared in their expressions was really a bit absolute, his own brother...... But it's back.

"Master Gu" Most of the people were greeting him, and Gu Qiyan, who came out of the study, nodded one by one, and the gaze that looked at everyone was very light. Walking past this group of people, Gu Qiyan walked straight to the palace gate in an official uniform, and he didn't stop to talk to everyone, and he didn't see the group of people behind him looking at his back, and most of them had completely different expressions on their faces than just now.

"Master Li, this Gu Qiyan is so arrogant, isn't it a little incomprehensible?" The contempt in the speaker's tone made the person beside him who had a heart also divert his gaze, and the hint of anger in that expression showed some facts.

"Lord Chen doesn't have to be angry, then Lord Gu has something to do at home, after all, this marriage is so important to the emperor, and Lord Gu, who has just returned to Beijing, must prepare well." The next words were even more sarcastic, and some people had a knowing smile on their faces, but the people who looked at them didn't show any emotion, and these people only restrained their actions just now for a while.

Lord Li has always been appreciated by the three princes, and he also has a certain weight in the emperor's mind, most of them spontaneously stood in front of the door of this imperial study, and Lord Li was summoned by the emperor.

The expression on the face of the silent person was also incomprehensible, but the slow forward pace had already indicated that he was about to enter the study to talk to the emperor, leaving behind a group of people with different thoughts, everyone is you look at me, I look at you, as if they don't know what impact what they did just now will have.

"Gu Qiyan is the person who knows how to measure the most, otherwise the emperor would not have summoned him alone......" The person who suddenly turned his head looked at the first person who opened his mouth to express his dissatisfaction, and his strict face seemed to hesitate to say something, "Lord Chen, the emperor summoned you and me to go in together, didn't you forget." Then he walked on, and the man behind him followed.

"Lord Chen......" A few people next to him also wanted to talk and stopped, and the people in the court knew that Lord Chen was also a member of the three princes, but he had always been at odds with Lord Li, and this time the emperor summoned the two of them together, and he didn't know what to talk about......

The people in the seat waited, looking at the door in front of them, about the crown prince...... It was already necessary to talk to the courtiers.

Outside the palace gate, someone stood by the carriage and waited, the back and forth pacing movement looked a little worried, the scholar looked in the direction of the exit of the palace gate, only to catch a glimpse of the figure in the dark official uniform, the expression on his face was somewhat relaxed.

Gu Qiyan's pace was unhurried, but the glow under his eyes became deeper and deeper, and even like a corner of the abyss where there was no light, the people next to the carriage greeted him, looking at his son-in-law's distracted expression, his heart also sank, and the head of the family was not as happy as the emperor gave the marriage as rumored by outsiders, but seemed to be preoccupied.

In this way, it seems that Childe is facing pressure both inside and outside, but I don't know if Childe has chosen the right choice to return to Beijing this time......

"Childe" Gu Qiyan looked at the person in front of him, nodded slightly, and then the person got into the carriage, and the car that slowly drove away from the palace gradually greeted the noon sun.

Fu Mingran saw the maid tidying up the clothes behind her from the bronze mirror, on the delicate face that was also dressed up today, there was a slight light in the clear eyes, and the posture of the maid behind her to pack up the clothes was clean and neat, and the very well-behaved face seemed to have a faint smile, Fu Mingran's eyes gradually had a hint of ghostly light, but it was very shallow, as if it was just an illusion of others.

The hand holding a hairpin in front of the bronze mirror slowly loosened, but he looked thoughtfully at the empty palm, always feeling that something was missing, whether she had picked up something with this hand before, or that she had forgotten something.

"Miss, it's already packed." The maid behind him walked over, a pale pink dress fell on Fu Mingran's afterglow, and the hand that let go of the hairpin was clenched again, as if there was such a clenched thing in the palm of his hand to be less afraid, the coldness that surged up in his heart made his body tremble slightly, Fu Mingran looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and the fear between his eyebrows and eyes was fully revealed, so he frowned slightly, thinking about hiding this inexplicable emotion, as if he had a premonition that something unexpected was going to happen.

"Liang Er...... Have I left anything behind at Aunt Liang's residence? Fu Mingran also didn't know that the doubts in his eyes fell into the eyes of others, and the very serious expression of the maid next to him made the eyes of the questioner darken because of the movement of shaking her head, I don't know why...... She always felt like she had forgotten something.
