Chapter 298: Bet on the next emperor

Gu Xiyan picked what the old lady liked to hear, and until the old lady left, the smile on her face quickly faded.

As soon as the old lady left, Hu Die ran in and said, "Liu Er wants to find someone to deliver the news to the Hou Mansion, saying that you hurt her, should we stop it?" ”

"No, leave it to her, I'm trying to make a big deal out of it." Gu Xiyan said lightly.

Hu Die was still worried: "I'm afraid that things will get out of control and ruin your reputation, so it's not worth it." ”

"I've been charged with my father and mother since I was a child, I've heard all kinds of bad rumors, what's there to be afraid of?" Gu Xiyan gave Hu Die a soothing smile: "I know what you're worried about, but I have nothing to lose, and Gongzi Zhou won't want me because of my bad reputation." ”

Moreover, she has a future, and the complex plan has just begun.

Whether it is the Li family, Liu Shuzheng, or Liu Chaoyan, they are all in her revenge plan.

"Well, you just have a good idea." Hu Die was no longer in a hurry.

As Hu Die said, Liu Chaoyan spread the rumors that Gu Xiyan was spreading behind her back that was unfavorable to her.

For a while, public opinion in the market pushed Gu Xiyan to the peak again.

The grievances and grievances between Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan are even more exciting than the book, and they have become the talk of the people after dinner.

After Zhou Duan heard these news, he also came to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan said that he knew it in his heart, and he didn't dwell on it anymore.

He just regretted that he was not by her side when Gu Xiyan was splashed with dirty water, she was so young back then, she was almost kicked out of the Hou Mansion and homeless.

"Xiyan, tell me about when you were a child." Zhou Du looked at Gu Xiyan and looked up and down: "I'm especially curious about what you looked like when you were a child." ”

If the poison in his body is detoxified in the future, he can give birth to a little daughter like her, maybe it will be what Xiyan looked like when she was a child, right?

I don't know if he will have a chance to have children in his life.

"When I was a child, I also lived in Xiyuan, Shen's mother was my mother's dowry, and Chunhua Qiushi was very young when she came to serve me, and the two of them grew up with me. When I was a child, I didn't have much to remember about it, just a saw-billed gourd, and my mouth was not sweet, and on big days like New Year's holidays, I was the most non-existent......"

Gu Xiyan said it and found that he couldn't find a meaningful thing to say.

Zhou Du let her lean on her shoulder: "Speaking of which, I'm about the same as you." ”

"What was that kid like when he was a kid?" Gu Xiyan asked curiously.

"I can remember drinking medicine every day and getting sick, and at that time I didn't understand why Zhiyuan and Mama didn't need to drink medicine, but I soaked in the medicine tank every day." Speaking of the things when he was a child, Zhou Du only felt that those things were a little vague and distant.

"That boy is much worse than me, I just don't have a playmate at most." Gu Xiyan clenched Zhou Dui's hand: "In the future, I will accompany my son, we will be together." ”

Zhou Du smiled dumbly, "You and I are really a pair destined by God, and there is no better match than us." ”

They are both people with weak family ties, and they both grew up alone when they were children, and they were fortunate to meet each other.

Gu Xiyan agreed with Zhou Dui's idea very much.

If they weren't destined, she wouldn't have stayed by his side after death in her previous life.

Maybe it's really as Master Mingjue said, she and Zhou Du are married in the world.

In the next few days, the grievances and hatred between Gu Xiyan and Liu Chaoyan intensified, and there were even many people who dug up the fact that Gu Xiyan was ordered by a senior monk when he was a child.

Now the same rumors have fallen on Liu Chaoyan, and everyone feels that the history is strikingly similar.

The next two sisters will get married on the same day, which is really a good show.

Because the grievances between Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan were so exciting, that everyone almost forgot the big event that the eldest prince of Emperor Chengde was still alive.

The fact that the eldest prince is still alive means that the battle for the crown prince is no longer a one-man show for King Qin.

As far as Zhou Xing is concerned, what he really cares about is not the grievances and grievances between the sisters of the Liu family, but that Zhou Dui is like a poisonous snake, which is likely to open his bloody mouth at any time and devour him completely.

The saddest thing is that he originally wanted Liu Chaoyan to get close to Gu Xiyan and use Gu Xiyan to deal with Zhou Du in the future, but there was such a quarrel between Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan, how could Gu Xiyan be close to Liu Chaoyan again?

Before he even started to make a good move, he was already at a dead end.

Of course, not only did Zhou Xing discover that Zhou Du was likely to be the eldest son of Emperor Chengde, but other shrewd ministers also found that Zhou Duan was very valued by Emperor Chengde.

The most important thing is that Zhou Du is a household official who was suddenly personally promoted by Emperor Chengde, Zhou Du is just twenty years old this year, and the age is just right for the time of Empress Shungong's death.

When someone with a heart went to check Zhou Dui's exact birthday, they found that Zhou Dui's birthday was just twenty, and it was not accurate to the month and day.

Is it precisely because of the strangeness that the exact date of Zhou Dui's birth is blurred?

The first minister found out about Zhou Dui, and of course Mai Shangshu, who is the boss of the household department, also had a certain awareness, and when he found Zhou Dui's head, a lot of details suddenly emerged.

For example, Zhou Du is always neither humble nor arrogant when facing him, and sometimes he always has the illusion that he is a little shorter than him when he stands in front of him.

For example, once the county lord of Yongjia came to the official office, Zhou Du was not afraid of power and directly drove the county lord of Yongjia out of the official office.

For example, after Zhou Dui became the right attendant of the household department, he did not go to court for a long time, and he couldn't even control his Shangshu, until one day Zhou Dui went to the morning court, and Emperor Chengde was very excited in the morning of that day, and from time to time he called Zhou Dui's name, and his eyes were also very kind.

All of the above details let him know that he had touched the edge of the truth, and if there was no accident, Zhou Du was the eldest son of the emperor that all his colleagues were secretly looking for.

So much so that when Mai Shangshu saw Zhou Dui, he couldn't help but nod his head, attracting the attention of some uninformed officials.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Du himself who did not find any abnormality in Mai Shangshu.

Mai Shangshu talked to several officials who were officials in the same dynasty, and after leaving office, he found a teahouse, which was called drinking tea and chatting to cultivate friendship with colleagues, but in fact discussing matters related to the eldest prince.

When Mai Shangshu arrived, Zhao Wen, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Qiu Shangshu of the Military Department, and Zhong He, the secretary of Dali Temple, also arrived.

Everyone usually doesn't get close, after all, the most taboo thing for Emperor Chengde is that the officials of the DPRK and China form gangs, in order to avoid suspicion, everyone can't come and go too often.

Only this time is related to the sudden resurrection of the eldest prince who has disappeared for twenty years, and it is related to the next emperor.

Everyone is afraid of standing in the wrong line for this kind of thing, so they are very nervous and want to get some news out of Mai Shangshu's mouth.
