258 The sons did not dare
The eldest prince Gu Fan has been in a very bad mood recently, especially since he returned from patrolling the river, it can be said that he is not restless.
I wanted to take advantage of this trip to win it in one fell swoop, and I accidentally got the news that my father was about to reuse the new science and technology exploration flower, the former Linshan Mansion Yin, and now the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the young man Wu Zheng, who is a civil and military all-rounder, but the result was completely beyond his expectations. Not only did he not succeed in subduing Wu Zheng, but he was self-defeating, setting up another strong opponent for himself on the road to the reserve.
It's not that I haven't heard of Wu Zheng's skills, and the Taishi has reminded him a lot, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gu Fan probably wouldn't have believed it until now.
How could a person who was only eighteen or nineteen years old be so accomplished in both civil and military affairs at the same time?
Especially the strong aphrodisiac, since it was obtained from his grandfather Liu Shiqing, who is a master, he has tried it repeatedly. Not to mention drinking it directly into the stomach, even if it is just touching the lips, it will be deeply poisoned, why is Wu Zheng fine?
In order to relieve the depression in his heart, Gu Fan has been completely immersed in wine for the past few days, so as to anesthetize himself. It's just that what makes him even more depressed is that the cousin recognized by the queen mother, Drunken Xi Shi Ling Jin, can only watch and can't move.
It's not that Miss Jin'er has thorns on her body, but that the queen mother and the princess strictly forbid themselves to touch her.
As the eldest prince, according to the rules of previous dynasties, he should have been named the crown prince a long time ago, but Gu Fan, who is nearly forty years old, can't even be close to a girl he likes, so it's no wonder that his deep dissatisfaction and resentment have become stronger and stronger recently.
Therefore, instead of letting the drunken Shi Jin'er girl always tease her desires in front of her eyes, it is better to put it in the backyard and simply come out of sight and out of mind.
Many times, Gu Fan wanted to return the drunken Shi Jin'er girl to the Grand Master, but every time he saw her face that fascinated all beings, he could no longer make up his mind.
Gu Fan, who had been drinking since noon, had not put down the wine glass in his hand until the end of the day. He was already eight points drunk, and he looked at the two new concubines who were serving the banquet in front of him drunkenly, and the more he looked at it, the more upset he became, so he simply waved his hand and drank the two of them, and stretched out his hand to pull the little girl who was standing beside him and poured wine and cloth for him, and was only twelve or thirteen years old.
"Your Highness, Your Highness. ”
The little maid who never expected such a change suddenly became incoherent with fright.
didn't care about the stiffness of the petite body in his arms, and the tears that instantly filled his immature cheeks, and he reached out and tore the little girl's clothes apart. When Gu Fan's big hand was about to press the chest that was not yet fully developed and was only bulging like two small bean bags, suddenly an attendant ran in with his head down, knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Highness, there is a decree in the saint, and His Royal Highness can enter the palace to face the saint. ”
"Get out!"
After scolding angrily, he realized what the waiter said.
"What, enter the palace to face the saint, now?"
"Yes. ”
Hearing the sound, the two side concubines who were driven away by Gu Fan just now first pulled up the frightened little maid in their arms, and then helped the swaying Gu Fan to the back to change clothes.
The little maid, who was almost naked and naked, stood in place for four or five breaths, then suddenly turned and slammed into the wall behind her.
With a bang, the little body fell to the ground, and immediately bled all over his face, only a few struggles slightly, and then ended up with a fragrant jade.
Gu Fan, the eldest prince who hurriedly changed his clothes and walked out, didn't even look at the slender corpse lying on the ground, and followed the eunuch to trot all the way to the Kunning Hall in the palace, only to see his father and mother sitting opposite each other drinking tea and chatting, Gu Fan hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed.
"The sons and daughters knock to see the father and the queen. ”
It seemed that he didn't see Gu Fan kneeling on the ground, and he didn't hear Gu Fan's voice, Emperor Gu Shu still said to Queen Liu in a calm tone:
"The weather has been cold recently, so let the imperial doctor prepare more pills to replenish qi and nourish blood, so as not to cause the old problem of coughing up blood. ”
"I've already instructed the Imperial Hospital, and I'm dispensing it. The concubines also specially advised them to prepare some pills for the emperor to nourish and smooth the qi. ”
"Well, it doesn't matter what my body is this year. ”
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of letting Gu Fan get up, Queen Liu was inevitably a little distressed.
"The emperor should not work too hard, there are so many ministers in the court, and all the princes are not small, so it is time to share more for the court and the emperor. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Fan who was kneeling on the ground.
Only then did the emperor turn his head and glance at Gu Fan, who was kneeling on the ground and full of alcohol.
"I've heard you've been having a hard time lately. It's just that I really can't guess that as the eldest son of the emperor, what else is wrong with you? Is it because the fiefdom is too small, is it because you are overworked by walking the military plane every day, or is there something else hidden?"
The emperor's words, like cold acupuncture, pierced Gu Fan's heart, his brain was excited, and at the same time as cold sweat broke out all over his body, the alcohol disappeared in an instant.
"Erchen didn't dare. ”
"Don't dare, there are other things you don't dare to do?!"
The emperor's voice suddenly raised an octave, and his tone became even colder.
"Then tell me what happened on the Sun Moon Boat at the Linqing Canal Wharf?!Where did that medicine come from?!"
One was too angry, and the other was that he was in a hurry, and then the emperor coughed violently.
Gu Fan knelt on the ground, his forehead touched the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.
My heart trembled with shock. Not to mention finding excuses to hide it, my father even knew about aphrodisiacs. didn't care about guessing who was leaking secrets around him, Gu Fan was anxious to find a suitable set of rhetoric to get through the current hurdle.
You can't confess the master in front of the queen mother, right?
It can't be said that the Taishi said that if a person like Wu Zheng is not used for himself, he must not be used by others;
It can't be said that those martial arts masters were privately recruited and raised by the Taishi;
It can't be said that the strong aphrodisiacs are also from the Taishi Mansion, and they want to use the aphrodisiacs to charm Wu Zheng, and use Miss Jin'er and Su Xiaomei to envelop him. If it doesn't work, he will abolish his cultivation, and even turn him into a eunuch, the idea is also from the Taishi.
"The emperor is angry, but you must take care of the dragon's body. ”
Empress Liu, who was frightened by the emperor's tone and the sudden violent cough, hurriedly got up from her seat and fell to her knees.
It's not that he doesn't know that the emperor doesn't look down on the eldest son he gave birth to at all, and even she herself is a little disdainful. It's just that his father Liu Shiqing only has a good eye for Gu Fanqing, which makes Queen Liu very puzzled. Fortunately, there is also a sixth prince Gu Tong under his knees, which is different from the eldest prince Gu Fan, but he is extremely appreciated by the emperor. Moreover, in the current fierce battle for the crown prince, Gu Tong is also very promising. So Empress Liu is not worried about her throne for the time being. As long as the emperor can do well, after Gu Tong is made the crown prince, there will be no need to worry. (To be continued.) )
