Gu Wanyin woke up from her dream in shock.

The feeling in the dream is still there. Her eyes widened, and it took her time to recover from that great fear and fear. Looking at the familiar furnishings around her, she gradually remembered: she was at home.

It was still dark outside the window, and there was no movement except for the faint sound of insects.

"Danzhi." Gu Wanyin called softly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was dry and astringent.

Danzhi soon came in from the outside with a curtain lifted: "The princess? ”

"Pour me a glass of water." Gu Wanyin turned over and sat up tiredly, but in her heart was reminiscing about the dream of Fang Cai. Gradually, he frowned. She dreamed just now that Zhou Ruijing was injured and covered in blood. It's scary. She was startled, and suddenly woke up.

Danzhi quickly poured a cup of warm tea, and Gu Wanyin poured it down in a few sips, only then did she feel that her "suddenly" beating heart eased a little, and the fear in her chest gradually calmed down.

"The princess has a nightmare?" Danzhi knew Gu Wanyin very well, and knew that she rarely woke up in the middle of the night, so he asked tentatively.

Gu Wanyin nodded and handed the empty cup to Danzhi: "Well, I had a bad dream." "Very bad dreams.

"Dreams are all reversed. There is no need to worry about the princess. Danzhi saw that her brows were tightly knit and her face was depressed, so she spoke softly and comforted.

Gu Wanyin let out a long breath, then turned over and lay down again: "About I was frightened by what the fourth princess said during the day, thinking about it every day, and dreaming at night. "It's just a dream. With Zhou Ruijing's ability, the situation in the dream should not have happened. It's just to check the situation, and it's not a war, where is it so easy to get injured?

Come to think of it, she did think too much.

Gu Wanyin persuaded herself so. closed his eyes but still couldn't sleep, so he opened his eyes again and talked to Danzhi: "You probably heard the words of the fourth princess today?" ”

Danzhi didn't hide it, and immediately said, "I heard a part." "There are some things that the four princesses said very lightly. Only a few words were vaguely captured. But Rao is like this, and he is still scared.

"The fourth princess was rejected by me today, and there will definitely be action next." Gu Wanyin pursed her lips. Staring at a mandarin duck playing in the water on the quilt, "I doubt it." She will think about designing our Zhou family. For example, adding fuel to the scenes behind the scenes, so that our Zhou family could not turn over in this incident. ”

Danzhi frowned, and said slowly after a while: "The fourth prince has an excellent reputation among the people over the years;." I don't think I would act rashly. ”

"If you do it in secret, you will naturally not be known by others." Gu Wanyin said lightly, stretched out her hand and gently brushed the mandarin duck: "I don't know how to lift the prince like this, and the fourth prince will definitely be resentful." Even if you don't do it in Kyoto. But it is very likely that he will do it to the prince. Otherwise, the fourth princess would not suddenly tell me today that the prince was in trouble. "Maybe this trouble, Zhou Ruijing hasn't encountered it now, and it will happen soon. And now that Zhou Ruijing is not in Beijing, the forces of the Zhou family can't help him at all. If someone else wants to do it, this is the best time.

"The prince of the world is sent by the saint, if something happens over there, the saint will definitely investigate thoroughly." Danzhi pondered for a moment before lowering his voice and speaking quickly. "The Four Princes. You have to be afraid of it. ”

"What if you kill someone with a sword?" Gu Wanyin smiled bitterly and said softly: "The fourth prince can be pushed to others. It doesn't have to be hands-on. "There are not many heirs of the Zhou family, especially on the side of the long house. And the power in Zhou Jiajing is basically all in the hands of Zhou Ruijing. If something happens to Zhou Ruijing. Although the Zhou family cannot be used by the four princes, at least they have no ability to threaten. What's more, at that time, the four princes will win over the rest of the Zhou family - this is not impossible. Zhou Ruijing will not agree to things, and others may not necessarily refuse.

"Danzhi, go get pen and ink, I'll repair a book, and tomorrow will open the second door early in the morning, and you will let people send it out to the prince." Maybe her reminder can make Zhou Ruijing avoid some rights and wrongs in time, and it is not necessarily: "This letter is sent day and night, and it must be delivered as soon as possible." "If you can catch up with the four princes, it's best over there.

Seeing Gu Wanyin's uneasy look, Danzhi knew that if she wasn't allowed to write tonight, she would definitely never be able to sleep again. So I had no choice but to get paper and pen.

Gu Wanyin got out of bed in her clothes and quickly wrote down her worries. It's just that after writing and reading it, he frowned, and suddenly handed the letterhead to the candle and lit it.

Danzhi was stunned for a moment: "Why-" Didn't you say that you wanted to send a letter? Why did you burn it again?

Gu Wanyin frowned and said, "I'm afraid that someone on the road will intercept the letter." "If that's the case, if it's written so clearly, wouldn't it be a trouble? Originally, everything was still in the dark, and she was shaking on the bright side like this, and she couldn't say that it would cause an uproar.

After a moment of silence, she picked up her pen again and wrote another letter home. The letter contained only a few trivial matters at home, plus some words of advice. Whoever looks at it will never see anything else. She read through it again, and when she was sure there was nothing wrong, she took the envelope and sealed it with fire paint.

"Send this letter." Gu Wanyin commanded in a low voice: "Find a reliable person to send your ideas to the prince." Although she said it covertly, I believe that Zhou Ruijing will definitely understand what she has to say.

Danzhi took the letter and put it away properly, and then said a few words of comfort, "The princess doesn't need to worry too much, with the ability of the princess, there will be no big deal." ”

"Hmm. The hour is not early, so go to sleep. After writing the letter, Gu Wanyin was very settled, but she was a little sleepy again, so she also sent Danzhi to sleep. I just thought about it and said uneasily: "If there is anything unusual about the second wife, you must repay me quickly." And even if it's Dow, you must have seen me in prison. On the side of the yamen, there are also people guarding it all the time. ”

Speaking of the yamen, Gu Wanyin remembered the third wife again. The third master doesn't know if he went to the yamen? What news did you find out?

……

Early in the morning of the second day, before Gu Wanyin could ask the third wife, the third wife was already uninvited;

Although Gu Wanyin was surprised, her face was silent, she welcomed the third wife in with a smile, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter today, the third aunt came so early, isn't she here to eat?" My breakfast is very simple, I'm afraid that the third aunt won't like it-"

The third lady smiled reluctantly, "It's all urgent, where do I still have the heart to joke with you?" ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing the third wife's appearance, Gu Wanyin stopped joking, and asked in a deep voice.

"The yamen said, I'm afraid that this time, our Zhou family will not be able to escape the relationship." The third lady sighed, "Last night, our master finally made an appointment with the prefect of Yingtianfu to come out, and after three rounds of drinking, that person confided in one or two. Let's be ready to deal with it. If it weren't for our lord who got that man drunk, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to ask these questions. It's just that it was already midnight when our master came back last night, and I thought that you were locked here, so I didn't come back. No, I got up early this morning and hurried over to tell you. ”

Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows, and then her face sank, and her mood became worse: "But what key evidence have you found?" "Since the yamen dares to say such a thing, there must be evidence. Only, what exactly is this evidence? ”

The third lady frowned and replied, "It's not that I found the key evidence, but because I really couldn't find the evidence!" But since there is no way to prove the innocence of our family, there is no way to prove what caused such a situation. Therefore, I thought about what the yamen meant, if it is not possible, let our Zhou family carry the matter down. ”

"How is this possible?" Gu Wanyin's face became more and more ugly. If only it was to pay the money, but it was not just a matter of the money! Don't talk about it, just say that the reputation of the Zhou family will plummet in the future? If it was really the Zhou family's mistake, it would be fine, but the problem now is - this matter is not clear at all!

"That's what I said, that's why I asked you, is there any good way?" The third lady sighed, "In the past few days, our Zhou family's business has not been easy to do. The rumors outside are also getting worse and harder. In the long run, how can you get it? "The third wife is really worried.

Gu Wanyin pondered for a moment: "Let's wait and see what the yamen says." If it really doesn't work, let's think of another idea. However, the yamen can't find out, so we can only rely on ourselves. The third aunt is the most well-informed, what news is there recently? ”

When the third wife heard Gu Wanyin, she couldn't do anything, and her face was even more ugly at the moment. There was silence for a moment before he replied, "There is no useful news, but the deceased's younger brother does not seem to be his own brother, but has only recently recognized." And these days, the man often came to the three muzi. Again, even a hard break. The doors were smashed. ”

Gu Wanyin already knew about what the third wife said. But he still said: "Thank you third aunt." ”

The third lady smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, if it can help, that's good." ”

The two were about to speak, but a mother-in-law outside suddenly came in and replied: "Princess, the man from last time came to nàoshi again!" ”

"What?!" Gu Wanyin was taken aback, turned her head and glanced at the third wife, then calmed down, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" "Didn't Yongzi send someone to follow? Why did you suddenly come to nàoshi again?

The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously: "The man carried a coffin, put it opposite our gate, and built a spiritual shed!" We're crying for his eldest brother at our door!;
