When Gu Mingzhu woke up, it was daylight.

Her hand was held in the palm of her hand, and when she moved slightly, the person immediately noticed it and shook it back.

Gu Mingzhu heard Gu Xiurong's voice in a daze: "Sister...... Younger sister? ”

Gu Mingzhu struggled to open her eyes, her brain hurt as if it had been cut by something, it was blank, she was stunned for a while, and opened her mouth: "The child ......"

Gu Xiurong soothed: "The child is very good, although he has lost some weight, he is very healthy. ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart fell and he mentioned: "Ah Jue...... Any news? ”

Gu Xiurong smiled and said, "Ah Jue has been found, and now he is on his way back, and the road to winter is not easy, I am afraid that it will take a few days." ”

Gu Mingzhu completely put her mind at ease, obviously she had just woken up but felt weak, and fell asleep again in a trance.

A few days later, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, this year was very deserted, these days were filled with soup medicine, Gu Mingzhu recovered almost the same.

There was a crack in the window of the hall, and she sat on the edge of the bed, and heard a sound of laughter and noise coming from the courtyard.

Fireworks in the distance are all over the sky, and the family is reunited and jubilant.

Gu Mingzhu suppressed the thoughts in her heart, looked down at Xiao Budian on the bed, and couldn't help but smile.

Just when Ning Qing entered, seeing her appearance, she smiled and said: "When I first gave birth to you, I was afraid of melting in my mouth with your expression, hey......"

Gu's mother sighed that time was gone: "In a blink of an eye, you are so old, you have become a parent and have a little doll......"

Gu Mingzhu smiled gently: "Mother...... Look how carefree this little doll is. ”

Gu's mother approached and took a closer look, and said, "This milk baby is more like his father." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at the wrinkled little face, she didn't know how Ning Qing came to this conclusion, and when she heard her mention Xu Jue, her heart tightened, but she didn't show it, she just said: "When Ah Jue comes back, I must be very happy to see a doll that looks like him." ”

Gu's mother's face stiffened slightly, and she quickly smiled: "That's natural." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at the child and said faintly: "What I came from, this is the crown prince, the future king of the Ming Kingdom." ”

Gu Mingzhu's voice paused slightly, and he said in a low voice: "If Ah Jue really can't come back, mother, this child ......"

Gu's mother interrupted her: "Mingzhu! Don't be cranky! Your brother sent someone to find him! ”

Gu Mingzhu finally raised her head and looked at her calmly: "I know that my brother is hiding from me for my own good, and Mingguo has been secretly searching all over the past few days, right?" Can't find him, can you? ”

"Maybe it's just ......"

"Mother." Gu Mingzhu was unexpectedly calm: "You can't fool me, after looking for half a month, if he is not caught, he will be dead." ”

Gu Mu couldn't say anything to refute for a moment.

She hoped that Xu Jue was just injured and hiding.

However, this is too idealistic, Gu Mingzhu will not deceive herself, and she doesn't want to lose her temper in front of her, her mother has always felt most sorry for her, and she doesn't want to worry her anymore.

The city of Ruizhou is full of fireworks and is very lively.

The hall was silent.

Gu Mingzhu glanced down at the child, and then smiled faintly: "He said that he would not leave me, this person has kept his promise with me for so long, and he can't ...... I bore him a son, and he broke his promise. ”

Gu Mu sighed, shook her head and stopped talking.

The child had not yet chosen a name when she was full moon, and everyone didn't dare to mention it in front of her, so she could only scream like this.

In the imperial study, the woman was dressed in red, sitting precariously, listening to the recent report with cold eyes.

A month ago, the eldest princess of the Qin State recruited a horse, and the last person chosen by the princess turned out to be a man who was not well-known in the Qin State, and the people of the Qin State were rumored that the eldest princess was confused by the appearance of the man, and some people said that it was actually the young master of the family who was outcast, and all kinds of rumors emerged one after another.

Gu Mingzhu has no time to take care of it, Zhou Yan's loss of trace in the country of Li did not cause too many waves, a princess who is not as good as her subordinates, what is the disappearance? Afterwards, Li Guo sent an apology to Qin Guo for the dereliction of duty of the guards, and the matter was overturned.

She listened to the argument of the ministers, leaned back, and was indifferent.

There was finally silence in the study.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were cold, and he looked like he was watching a play: "Finished arguing?" ”

The three of them bowed their heads.

Gu Mingzhu picked up a fold and threw it in front of the three of them: "It seems that the three Aiqing have fought for a good solution to the Fengyang flood, so speak freely and say." ”

The three of them fell into silence, and no one dared to be the first bird.

Gu Mingzhu sneered: "They are all officials with heads and faces, fighting like this in front of me!" It's a joke, the three of you can't sing well without you! ”

These words shocked the three of them, and they knelt down together.

Gu Mingzhu's expression was cold: "Since there is no quarrel, then I say, let Liu Qingtai of the Ministry of Industry cooperate with the local officials, and the household department waiter cooperates, do you have any opinions?" ”

Three of you, look at me, I'll look at you, one of them was about to speak, Gu Mingzhu glanced at him: "Or, Lord Tang go?" ”

The official who was about to speak suddenly withered, and hurriedly retreated: "Niangniang is wise, and Weichen's ability is limited, so it's better to let Lord Liu take charge of this matter...... Very good. ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled silently and said, "If you have nothing to do, just retreat, I'm tired." ”

On the second day, the officials who were heading to Fengyang set off.

In the afternoon, Gu Mingzhu was reading in the study, and after a while, there was a guard who said that Gu Xiurong came.

As soon as Gu Mingzhu put down the pen, Gu Xiurong strode in, his expression faintly happy.

Gu Mingzhu had a little expectation in his eyes, and he heard Gu Xiurong say: "Mingzhu, Ah Jue has found it!" ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart, which had been hanging for more than a month, suddenly fell back into his body.

She muttered, "...... What about people? ”

Gu Xiurong said: "Right now that I am in Duanzhou, this matter is really long, and I will talk about it in detail when I have time." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't want to listen to this minutiae, so she pulled her legs and walked out of the door, Gu Xiurong couldn't stop her, so she had to follow Mingyi.

Ruizhou is only a little more than a day's journey away from Duanzhou.

When Gu Mingzhu arrived, it was already late at night, and she took Ming all the way to the Duwei Mansion, and she passed unimpeded with the token all the way, and someone had already gone to tell her.

As soon as Gu Mingzhu stepped into the backyard, he bumped into Zhu Hongyuan head-on, his robe was not yet tied, obviously he had just gotten up after receiving the rumor, and when he saw her, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted: "King Ming......"

When the words came to his lips, he paused, and changed his words: "Queen Mother." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded slightly and asked, "What about Ah Jue?" ”

"The king is wounded." He was already leading the way: "The doctor has already diagnosed and treated, and I need to recuperate for a few days." ”

After Zhu Hongyuan walked with Gu Mingzhu for a while, he stopped in front of the door of a house and said, "Wang Shang just took medicine not long ago, and he is asleep right now. ”

He took two steps back.
