Chapter 229: Rebellion
"I don't know." The old lady was silent for a moment, then shook her head heavily. "All of a sudden, there was no news. It's as if it's gone.
Gu Wanyin froze suddenly. Zhou Ruijing, missing?! Was it taken captive? But how is this possible? Not to mention that Zhou Ruijing has so many personal entourages around him, and he can also mobilize the soldiers of the state capital yamen, even his own skills are also very good! It seems unlikely that he will be kidnapped?
In addition to abduction, it could also be ...... As soon as this thought came to her, she immediately extinguished it, and she didn't dare to think about it at all.
"There is an imperial history dànhé that Jing'er is very close to those resentful people." The old lady saw the worries and worries in Gu Wanyin's heart, so she spoke again: "So some people in the court speculated that Jing'er took refuge with the resentful people. Or, simply Jing'er is the leader. Delusional ...... "The old lady didn't say any more, the latter words were too sensitive, in such a period, it was better not to say it."
Gu Wanyin's heart sank directly to the lowest. She heard the old lady's words clearly, which was clearly saying that Zhou Ruijing intended to rebel.
"Impossible!" Gu Wanyin couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and suddenly denied it categorically: "The prince will never do that!" It's even more impossible to do that! Although Zhou Ruijing has ambitions, he has no ambitions. Not only does Zhou Ruijing have no ambitions, but the Zhou family also doesn't have any ambitions! This is simply slander and framing!
Gu Wanyin's voice was shocked and angry, and the girl outside the house was suddenly startled. Ganlu leaned against the door, only to hear Gu Wanyin suddenly raise her voice and say these two words, and immediately realized that something must have happened to Zhou Ruijing. At that moment, Ganlu's heart was beating violently, and she couldn't wait to rush in immediately to ask for an understanding.
However, Ganlu also knew what her identity was, so even though she was worried, she still didn't dare to make any moves.
The old lady was also taken aback. After a long time, he frowned and said, "It's just speculation, but there is no need to be so excited." "Still, as it says. But there was a faint smile on the old lady's face - Gu Wanyin could trust and maintain Zhou Ruijing so much, how could she make her unhappy?
Because of this, the old lady suddenly forgot her own dislike of Gu Wanyin.
In fact, there is no need for the old lady to remind you. Gu Wanyin had already come back to her senses, knowing that her reaction was a little excessive. At that moment, it was no longer like that, and forcibly suppressed the anger again. After calming down again, he opened his mouth and asked the old lady lightly, "What do you think, old lady?" ”
However, the old lady did not answer, but raised her eyebrows and asked, "I should have asked you this." Don't forget, you're the steward now. ”
The old lady made it clear that she wanted to test Gu Wanyin's mind, and took this matter as a touchstone.
And Gu Wanyin was really stunned for a moment after hearing the old lady's words. In the past, the old lady has always been arbitrary. She's used to it; When suddenly asked what she thought, she was a little uncomfortable. However, she was only slightly stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "I believe that the prince will never do such a thing." No matter what the outside says, let's just assume that there is no such thing, and just wait for the prince to come back wholeheartedly. ”
Zhou Ruijing is not stupid, even if it is a real rebellion, he will never rely on a group of resentful people. Even though the resentful people are fierce, they are definitely hitting stones with eggs compared to well-trained troops.
"What if the Holy One believes the slander?" The old lady asked again, not without worry in her heart.
Gu Wanyin smiled slightly. Great faith: "The Holy One will not believe." "If you really believe it, then this is not the case for the Zhou family now. Not to mention, soldiers are indispensable when they come to the door. Don't forget, what was the purpose of the saint leaving the rest of the Zhou family in Beijing in the first place? Isn't it just in case that one day the Zhou family has a different heart. Is this a way to blackmail the king of Zhennan?
"Okay, let's just stand still." The old lady pondered for a moment, and finally showed a smile, but even so, she still couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
At present, the most worrying thing is not slander, but Zhou Ruijing's safety.
Seeing this, Gu Wanyin was extremely worried in her heart, but she also comforted the old lady and said, "The old lady doesn't have to worry, the prince of the world has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." The old lady still doesn't know the skills of the prince? Thousands of troops can be safe and sound on the battlefield, let alone in a place like Hebei. ”
The old lady sighed, and looked into the distance with a hint of expectation: "I hope so." ”
As soon as Gu Wanyin exited the old lady's room, her face sank. In front of the old lady, she didn't dare to show it, but she just forced it in her heart. At this time, no one saw it, and she was suddenly revealed uncoveredly.
Danzhi heard the conversation between the old lady and Gu Wanyin, so he didn't know why Gu Wanyin was like this, and he wanted to ask at the moment, but he was afraid that it would make Gu Wanyin even more unhappy. I couldn't help it at the moment, but I quietly discussed with other girls that she would be on duty tonight. If something really happened, Gu Wanyin wouldn't be able to sleep if she thought about it. It's not too late to ask.
Gu Wanyin really couldn't sleep that night, so Danzhi asked softly, "What's wrong?" Sad? ”
"The prince may be in danger." Gu Wanyin sighed, and didn't tell it all, just said so. After all, the less people know about such things, the better.
Danzhi was a little stunned, and then bowed his head and said, "The princess doesn't need to worry, the prince will definitely return safely." "How can such a person be easily in danger?
"I hope so." Gu Wanyin smiled bitterly, still glancing at Danzhi gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding." Someone can say such a sentence with such an oath, which really reassures her a lot. At least, it's not that panicked.
"Princess, go to sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow." Danzhi urged softly, and reached out to tidy up the quilt for Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin closed her eyes as she said, but then ordered: "Prepare for me tomorrow, I will copy the scriptures." Even if it wasn't of much use, or maybe even useless at all, she had to find something to do so that she could be less worried and settle down a little.
Danzhi knew her mood at this time, frowned and sighed quietly in her heart, then turned off the lights and went back to her bed to sleep.
It's just that Yiyè still didn't sleep steadily, and he always dreamed that Zhou Ruijing was in danger in a daze; I slept for less than two hours, but I woke up several times. Just tossed yiyè repeatedly, and on the second day, Gu Wanyin and Danzhi had a faint cyan under their eyes. The listlessness of the master and servant is even more the same.
Gu Wanyin really didn't have the energy to deal with things today, and after barely coping with it for a while, she sent the mother-in-law who replied and left.
Seeing this, Danzhi had to suggest softly: "Why don't you go to the old lady and wait for news?" "After all, there is some news that ordinary channels can't inquire about. Especially the news that circulated in the palace.
Gu Wanyin was already anxious, and when she heard Danzhi's suggestion at this time, she didn't wait any longer, and simply got up and went to the old lady's courtyard at the moment.
When Gu Wanyin saw the old lady, the old lady was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. And the old lady didn't seem to have slept well last night, and described her as a little haggard. Come to think of it, is it also because of worrying about Zhou Ruijing?
Seeing the old lady's look, Gu Wanyin understood, but she was afraid that the old lady would not get any more news. After all, Hebei is still so far away from Kyoto, even if there is any change, it will take some time when the news comes back.
The old lady saw Gu Wanyin, but she didn't speak, until she finished reading Jingén, and then said softly: "Since you are here, you can accompany me to eat today." Come, help me copy Jingén. It seems that the old lady also told the gods and Buddhas full of sorrow, hoping to let Zhou Ruijing return safely.
Gu Wanyin smiled reluctantly, and knelt beside the old lady. Looking up at the statue of the Bodhisattva with kind eyebrows, she couldn't help but pray in her heart: If Zhou Ruijing can return safely, she will not hesitate no matter what the Buddha asks her to do.
After lunch, there was still no movement in the palace. However, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on her face: "It seems that the Holy Lord really did not believe in slander." ”
It's just that Gu Wanyin is worried that the saint will not do it now, maybe to wait for a better time.
"Old lady, do you say that the Holy Lord will send others to Hebei?" Gu Wanyin pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a question, so she hurriedly opened her mouth.
After all, there is no news of Zhou Ruijing now, whether it is to find Zhou Ruijing or to be able to regain control of the situation, he needs to send someone over. And now the question is - who will the Holy One send? Is it Zhou Ruijing's opponent, or can he help Zhou Ruijing?
The old lady was reminded by her like this, and immediately thought of the key to it, and her face became even more ugly at the moment, and she said dryly for a while: "Just look at what the saint means." "If the saint wants Zhou Ruijing to return safely, he will naturally send officials who have a good relationship with Zhou Ruijing. If you don't want Zhou Ruijing to come back, it's very simple, you just need to send someone who has a deep gap with Zhou Ruijing, just be afraid that Zhou Ruijing will ......
"No, I'm going to the palace to see the Queen Mother." The old lady Huo Ran stood up, her face gloomy and terrifying.
Gu Wanyin was startled, but she subconsciously reached out to support the old lady, and opened her mouth to persuade: "The old lady thinks twice." At such a time, I'm afraid that many people are looking at our family. If ...... "If this angers the saint and makes the saint think that the Zhou family is pampered and arrogant, then the gain outweighs the loss."
"Then can we just wait and see?" The old lady snorted coldly.
Gu Wanyin smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, what does the old lady think?" At this time, let's calm down. "Even if she is the Queen Mother, she can't interfere with the thoughts of the Holy One. Therefore, instead of desperately trying to think of something to fight, it is better to quietly wait for the Holy One's decision. It really doesn't work, they send someone to find it themselves.;
