Chapter 15: Like an Assassin
Staring at Gu Mingyuan's side face, Gu Nuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, if he knew that his daughter was no longer alive, as a father, how sad it would be.
In the eyes of the world, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, invincible, and has countless blood in his hands, but only Gu Nuan knows that from now on, he is just an ordinary father, no different from ordinary people.
Three days later.
Gu Mingyuan hugged Gu Nuan and sat in the carriage, and with the shouting of the coachman, the carriage began to move.
Gu Nuan curiously stretched out her hand to lift the corner of the curtain, there was a crowd of people around, there was noise everywhere, put down the curtain, turned his head and saw Gu Mingyuan's eyes closed tightly, he was taking a nap, Gu Nuan couldn't bear to disturb, and sat on the side obediently.
When he arrived at the palace, Gu Mingyuan took the lead in getting out of the car, and then took Gu Nuan's hand and walked into the palace.
There are rules in the palace, and the ladies who enter the palace are all arranged, and in the west pavilion on the east side, although Gu Nuan is a little reluctant, she can't break the rules, and follows the leading grandmother to the east.
West Pavilion.
There are some official ladies arranged inside, Gu Nuan is happy, so he finds a remote place to sit down.
Knock knock.
The three drums sounded, indicating the official start of the banquet, Gu Nuan followed the palace maid into the banquet hall, took a seat on the right side, and raised his eyes to see Gu Mingyuan sitting above the left side.
"King Yuan's military achievements are impressive, and today I specially take the wind and wash the dust for King Yuan."
"Thank you for your love, and thank Your Majesty for the banquet."
Gu Mingyuan got up, put his hands together, and bowed slightly.
"Aiqing is exempt, take a seat quickly."
Gu Nuan's face tightened, and a surge of urine came up, a little annoyed, it must have been because he drank too much tea just now.
Patrolling around, finding a gap, sneaking out of the banquet, the palace is so big, Gu Nuan turned left and right, lost her way for a while, and she was so anxious that she turned around.
"Oops!"
Gu Nuan touched her forehead and squatted on the ground, the touch just now was like hitting an iron wall, and she grinned in pain.
"County master, is it a slave who is abrupt, but is he injured?"
The voice was a little sharp, as if someone was pinching his throat to speak.
Through the gaps between his fingers, the man was dressed in a dark purple robe, and wore a pair of pointed boots on his feet, which was clearly dressed in the palace.
His hands were pale, and he could clearly see the blood vessels in his flesh.
Gu Nuan got up slowly, hurriedly stopped, and said, "It's okay, but bother to tell where the official room is?" ”
As soon as he raised his head, a huge face was close at hand, Gu Nuan panicked, took a step back, and almost stumbled.
In front of him was a middle-aged man, his face was gloomy, and suddenly Gu Nuan's pupils were shocked, and his body was weak.
The man's gloomy eyes were a little familiar, like a ...... Assassin!
Gu Nuan panicked in her heart, and now that she looks closely, it is even more similar, but the assassin was masked that day, and Gu Nuan was not sure.
"Father-in-law Su, Your Majesty calls you."
The man nodded and looked at Gu Nuan,
"Let's go now, and you will take the county lord to the official room."
After the man left, the palace maid led Gu Nuan forward, Gu Nuan had palpitations, and couldn't help asking, "Who was that person just now?" ”
"Back to the county lord, that is Su Weizhong, the father-in-law of Su, who is the steward of the emperor's side."
Su Weizhong, although Gu Nuan has never seen it, but he has heard of it slightly, from a little eunuch sitting to his current position, his hands have long been unclean, he has been crawling and rolling in the palace for decades, and his body has revealed a terrifying aura, he must not be an idle person.
After coming out, Gu Nuan felt comfortable.
In the temple, the banquet began.
Gu Nuan returned to her seat, patted her stomach a little hungry, picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Jingyi sitting diagonally opposite her, Gu Nuan smiled and waved her hand quietly, with the corners of her mouth still stained with scum.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at it coldly and didn't pay attention to it.
The corners of Gu Nuan's mouth twitched, come on, she has a hot face on her cold buttocks.
Gu Nuan picked up a piece of meat and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard the emperor say.
"King Yuan guards the frontier, and in recent years, he has made a great contribution, but now the county lord is young, and King Yuan has less company, I really can't bear it."
Gu Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, but anyone who passed the elementary school Chinese could hear that the emperor had something to say, and it was clear that he wanted King Yuan to stay in the mansion, and he also used her as a gunman.
"Serve the emperor and protect the peace of my Great Wei, the old minister is duty-bound, although Nuan Nuan is young, but his heart is tied to me, he can naturally understand."
After all, after a long battle, Gu Mingyuan knew the emperor's intentions at a glance, stood up and said respectfully.
Many ministers whispered at the bottom, and this small action naturally did not escape Gu Nuan's eyes.
Now the situation in the court, her father Gu Mingyuan, with heavy troops in his hands, is far away from the frontier, loved by the people, and is even named the god of war, which is naturally a little scary.
It is not without reason that the emperor wants to weaken the power of the Gu family, in recent years, Gu Mingyuan has made great achievements, there are constant folk rumors, and his reputation is very good, but because of Gu Mingyuan's identity, he does not dare to express it openly.
At today's banquet, it is clear that a celebration banquet is being held, but in fact, the emperor wants to take back the military power and weaken the Gu family's power in the court. Gu Nuan was a little absent-minded, the emperor saw that Gu Mingyuan did not appreciate it, and he was angry, Su Weizhong on the side saw this, bent down to drink wine for the emperor, and then whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry and mess up." ”
The emperor's face softened, picked up the wine cup on the table, drank it all, and said: "It's me who has exceeded the rules, and the king of Yuan has made meritorious contributions to guarding the frontier, so he should be given a thousand taels of gold." ”
"Thank you, Lord Long."
……
After the banquet, Gu Mingyuan was left to face the saint alone, Gu Nuan was bored, so he was ready to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to say goodbye.
On the way, she met Xiao Yuling and her party, and when Gu Nuan was thinking about being unlucky, the other party only glanced at her lightly, and then went in the other direction.
Although she wondered, Gu Nuan didn't think about it, as the saying goes, more things are better than less, and her heart was still happy to ignore her.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's bedroom was in front of her, Gu Nuan suddenly stopped, and was wondering whether to ask for peace, but the grandmother next to the Queen Mother happened to appear in front of the door, and said respectfully: "County Lord, you are here." ”
Gu Nuan nodded, and followed Mama into the dormitory, behind the barrier, a figure on the soft couch was faintly visible.
Gu Nuan cleared her throat, her voice warm.
"Nuan Nuan has seen the Queen Mother."
Hearing the sound, the Queen Mother's closed eyes slowly opened, and the maid helped the Queen Mother to get up, opened the curtain, and saw the Queen Mother with a happy face.
"Nuan Nuan is coming."
I don't know when there was a thick mist, and a drizzle was floating in the air, Gu Nuan looked out the window, the flowers in the yard were blooming very well, the rain was thick, the queen mother squinted her eyes and probed out the window, and sighed for a long time.
"It's changed!"
Gu Nuan was also inconvenient to stay for a long time and got up from his seat.
