Gu Huai'an didn't react on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart. Shen Yuehua would never be married to the Minister of the Ministry of War no matter what. Although this was not a long-term solution, it at least alleviated the crisis before him. .
The Minister of War has known about this matter for a long time, but no matter what method he uses to suppress these rumors, these rumors are still flying all over Kyoto. It is strange to say that there has never been such a situation before. , why is there such a big fuss this time
In desperation, he did not submit a letter, but had to go to the morning court honestly. I thought that the emperor should have heard about such a big thing. It seems that after the morning court, he should handle it well. thing.
Gu Huai'an went to the morning court for the first time. The sudden appearance of someone who had been claiming to be ill made the people around him a little uncomfortable. An old minister next to him was the first to speak, "I heard that Mr. Gu has been feeling unwell recently. Why did he come to the morning court today?" Woolen cloth?"
"Your Excellency, I am concerned. The emperor asked me to prepare for the marriage between Princess Yuehua and the Minister of War. The preparations are almost complete, so I came to the court today to report to the emperor, so as not to do things poorly and make the emperor wait for urgent matters. ”
The Minister of the Ministry of War was also on the side at this time. He was worried about how to explain this matter to the emperor after the morning court was over. However, he was looking at which pot in Huai'an was not being opened at this time. Liu Chu's face was obviously confused. Some can't hang on anymore.
Gu Huaian knew that the recent messages in the capital must be related to his good sister. It seems that Liu Chu tried his best but failed to suppress this wave of rumors, so he was so worried. .
Gu Huai'an curled his lips and smiled. After all, it was a bit ridiculous that the Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't even play with his own sister, and he wanted to use this marriage to become a dragon and a phoenix, and become a person like Gu Linjiang.
However, Gu Huaian knew that at this time, the Minister of War was in a dilemma. He could not be the first to propose the dissolution of the engagement in front of all the civil and military officials, but he also did not want to be reprimanded by Shen Zhongbai in front of everyone, not to mention that he was still I don't know if Shen Zhongbai knew about this matter. If he had spoken out first, it might not have been that easy.
How could Shen Zhongbai not know? Ever since he wanted to win over the Minister of War, Shen Zhongbai has been sending people to keep an eye on Liu Chu. Who would have thought that nothing happened to Liu Chu, and he rarely even went to the brothel. The few virtuous housekeepers in his family , that really helped him a lot.
Shen Zhongbai couldn't contain the anger in his heart. If everyone in the capital knew at this time that something like this happened to his family, and he still insisted on marrying Shen Yuehua to him, wouldn't he be ridiculed by everyone in the world
Shen Zhongbai suppressed his anger and went to the morning court as usual, but unexpectedly found that Gu Huaian also appeared. He originally thought that Gu Huaian and Feng Yao were afraid that their identities would be exposed, so they had been hiding from him. , may have noticed his murderous intention towards the two of them, so he hid, but he did not expect that Gu Huaian would choose to appear at such a time today.
"Master Gu, hasn't he been sick? Why did you come to the morning court today?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The illness on the lower official's body is no longer serious. It's just that in the recent period, I have been busy with the marriage of the princess and Mr. Liu, Minister of the Ministry of War. I am a little tired. It seems that I am getting sick again."
"If that's the case, Mr. Gu doesn't have to worry so much. As for the specific situation of the matter, you can go to the princess after the morning court today to discuss it in detail. You two are already old acquaintances, so we should communicate with each other. It’s not a big problem.”
It is naturally impossible for Shen Zhongbai to tell this matter now, but with all the civil and military officials living in the capital, there are still few people who don't know about this matter. Shen Zhongbai also understands in his heart that this person has definitely been disgraced. Marriage can't happen.
Shen Yuehua has also been in a lot of trouble recently. Although neither of them said anything, it doesn't mean that Shen Zhongbai can't see that Gu Huaian and Shen Yuehua seem to be more than just friends after experiencing what they were trapped in before. Such a simple relationship, Shen Zhongbai still felt that he had made the right bet this time. These things that happened in Liu Chu's family may not have anything to do with Gu Huaian.
Gu Huaian really wanted to see Shen Yuehua. After all, it had been so long and he had no news about Shen Yuehua. Although he knew that she was in the palace, Shen Zhongbai probably would not do anything to her, but after being Shen Yuehua may not be in a good mood after being betrothed to such a bad old man.
Since Shen Zhongbai gave himself this opportunity, it would be wasted if he didn't go.
Shen Yuehua has indeed been depressed for many days. Ever since he found out that Shen Zhongbai had promised a fifty-year-old man who could almost be his father, Shen Yuehua couldn't lift his spirits. This palace Inside, no one is doing it for their own good. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen to him after he has been humanely trying to find his own husband for so many years.
"Princess, you'd better eat a little something. If you continue like this, your body may not be able to bear it."
The little maids around Shen Yuehua have also been with Shen Yuehua for many years, and they can be regarded as knowing everything. Apart from her, in this palace, I really don’t know who to trust. All the palace people were driven away. Now, everyone around him is respectful to him, but who knows that that person will suddenly jump out and give him a knife
"Forget it, don't eat anymore. I don't know how the plants in the imperial garden are blooming. Come with me to relax."
Shen Yuehua really has no intention of eating anymore. He is locked up in the palace and cannot go anywhere. There is no news about him. He is just like a prisoner. He is being strictly guarded. It is really ridiculous. Probably because my life was too comfortable before. With my father doting on me, no one dared to go against me even when I was traveling in the world. But things are better now. Not to mention that I am not good at martial arts and cannot escape from the palace. He can't even fight against his emperor brother, and he has to be on guard at all times. What's the point of living
Gu Huaian didn't know where Shen Yuehua would be at this time, so he could only walk in the direction of the imperial garden, hoping to meet a kind maid or eunuch who could tell him where Shen Yuehua's palace was.
After Shen Zhongbai left the morning court, he directly kept Liu Chu. To be honest, no matter who was behind this matter, it was because Liu Chu did not handle it well, so these things were spread to the market. Now they are all The news has spread so much that for the sake of the royal family's face, this marriage can't happen.
"As the Minister of War, you don't even have such a sense of precaution?"
Shen Zhongbai was indeed angry. Putting aside the possible relationship between this matter and Gu Huaian, the affairs of Liu Chu's family would be spread to the street. Even if there was no such marriage, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, what happened Isn't this kind of thing a bit embarrassing
Liu Chu also knew that he did not handle the matter well this time, so he knelt on the ground directly, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. I have already asked all the servants in the house, even the ones at the door. The guards all said that no one has been in or out privately recently, so I really don’t know where the news came from.”
After listening to Liu Chu's words, Shen Zhongbai roughly understood that it seemed that the use of talismans to harm people had indeed happened in Shangshu's mansion, but if no one came in and out privately, how did the news get out
"I don't care how your news spreads. Within three days, you must give me an explanation and tell me where this matter started."
Liu Chu did not tell everything he knew. His mother told him that before Su Jin said he was not feeling well, he had found a young female doctor on the street to come into the house, but after what happened to Liu, , everyone has never seen this female doctor again.
Although there was no evidence, Liu Chu vaguely felt that this matter must be related to the female doctor who suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. Apart from anything else, this female doctor this time also took her with her. Su Jin who entered the mansion didn't even know his name, nor his origins. He really had to make people suspicious, right
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Within three days, I will definitely investigate all the truth. Your Majesty will definitely not worry about this matter."
Gu Huai'an actually didn't expect to meet Shen Yuehua in this place, but Shen Yuehua really did what he thought. He lost a lot of weight and no longer looked like before. His eyes were glassy. If he hadn't stepped forward, Shen Yuehua might not have even seen him.
"your Highness."
Gu Huaian bent down and saluted. It was only at this time that Shen Yuehua saw Gu Huaian. Perhaps it was because he had not had a good meal in so many days. At this time, he saw the person who appeared in front of him. Man, Shen Yuehua actually felt like it was a hallucination.
"Gu Huaian, please take me away..."
Shen Yuehua couldn't hold back her tears all of a sudden. She could hold back her tears. The dowry was very far-fetched, but when she saw Gu Huai'an, all her emotions and grievances burst out directly. You won't give yourself any room for relief.
