The empress dowager was stunned for a moment, Atuo Jianghua said with a smile: "He is hungry, I'll call the nanny in."
Only then did the empress dowager understand, and she looked down at the child in her arms, and saw that the child had his mouth flattened, looking like he was about to cry or not, which was really pitiful.
She couldn't help laughing and said, "It looks like I'm really hungry, let's go."
Atuo Jianghua hurriedly got up and went out.
After the nanny fed the little prince, A Tuo Jiang Hua led them back.
…
On the eve of the wedding, Gu Linchao and others finally arrived at the outskirts of the capital.
Zhou Jun, who was waiting there, quickly blocked their way.
"Prince Xiang, my country's Duke ordered the younger one to wait for the lord here, but at last the younger one has waited." Zhou Jun said with relief.
He is Xiao Yan's confidant guard, so Gu Linchao naturally recognizes him.
So it's no surprise to see him here.
"What does your Duke have to say to you?" Gu Linchao reined in his horse and looked down at him and asked.
Zhou Jun was caught by his eyes, and he was stunned for a while. He came back to his senses after a while, and said with great joy, "The prince's eyes have recovered?"
"En." Gu Linchao nodded.
"That's really great. The Duke will be very happy when he finds out." Zhou Jun said sincerely.
Gu Linchao's handsome face softened a little.
The matter of his eyesight recovery has not been disclosed to the outside world, so not many people know about it, and Xiao Yan and others are far away in the capital thousands of miles away, so they have no way of knowing.
"Where is your Duke now?" he asked.
Zhou Jun paused, and said in a low voice: "The Duke is under house arrest. Earlier, he was told to wait for the prince here, so that the prince should not enter the city. The emperor is going to have a banquet, which is not good for the prince."
Gu Linchao frowned, "Why is your father under house arrest?"
Zhou Jundao: "Before the accident, the Duke had already anticipated it. He told the young one that the Emperor had asked people to look for something in the Jingci Palace some time ago. If he couldn't find it, he would definitely think it was in his hands.
Unexpectedly, it was really predicted by the Duke of the State. A few days ago, the Emperor sent people to surround the Duke Yasukuni's mansion under the pretext of protecting the Duke's safety. The Duke of Yasukuni is now trapped in the mansion. "
After hearing this, Gu Linchao asked in a deep voice, "What is the emperor looking for?"
Zhou Jun glanced at him, lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "The Duke said that it was the last emperor's decree."
The last emperor's decree
Confusion flashed in Gu Linchao's eyes.
Why didn't he know about the late emperor's decree
Also, what was written in the last emperor's decree, and why did Gu Heng go to war for it, and even put Xiao Yan under house arrest
He found out that his mother was hiding something from him.
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips tightly, and there was a trace of solemnity between his brows.
"For these two days, the prince will live in Biezhuang first. When the time comes tomorrow, Princess A Tuo will come out with the Empress Dowager. Then we can go and meet him." Zhou Jun said in a low voice.
Gu Linchao came back to his senses, and asked puzzledly: "Princess A Tuo is also involved in this matter?"
Zhou Jun nodded, "Yes, she wants to go back to Xinjiang. It just so happened that our tunnel reached her bedroom. She has promised the Duke that she will bring the Empress Dowager out of the tunnel together."
When Gu Linchao heard the words, he didn't say anything more, and took people to follow him to Xiao Yan's villa.
This time he entered Beijing, he did not follow the official path, so Gu Heng did not receive any news of his entry to Beijing.
In the imperial study room, Gu Heng was very restless, not at all happy about marrying the queen.
"Is there any news about Gu Linchao's coming to Beijing?" He looked at Hao Fulu and asked in a deep voice.
Under tremendous pressure, Hao Fulu replied: "The servant who was sent to pass the decree has returned, and said that the imperial decree was handed over to King Xiang that day, and King Xiang also said at that time that he would go to Beijing to attend the emperor's meeting. big wedding."
"Where's that cute?" Gu Heng was sullen.
The spies sent another round and another round, but they couldn't find any news about Gu Linchao.
"A letter from the spies in Xiangzhou confirms that Gu Linchao has left Xiangzhou. Based on the time, he should arrive today and tomorrow. Your majesty might as well wait until tomorrow.
After all, King Xiang's eyesight is inconvenient, so he might be delayed on the road, maybe. " Hao Fulu said.
When Gu Heng heard this, the anxiety and worries in his heart disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes, "You are quite reasonable, let the people below prepare well to ensure that nothing will go wrong tomorrow." As long as Gu Linchao appears at the wedding banquet tomorrow, he will definitely make him feel safe. Back and forth.
"yes."
The next day, Gu Heng got married.
The entire court was celebrating the emperor and empress, and the palace was even more lively, and everyone was busy for the empress' wedding.
At the dinner party, Atuo Jianghua was halfway through eating, excused that she was not feeling well, and handed over the little prince to Guo Yuzhen to take care of her, and then left the table and went back to the bedroom.
Before returning to her bedroom, she made a detour to Jingci Palace.
The Empress Dowager was not feeling well, so she did not attend the dinner.
When she arrived, the Empress Dowager and Mother Zeng were already waiting in front of the palace gate.
Seeing her coming, the two of them tacitly left Jingci Palace together and followed her to her bedroom.
At this time, there was no one in A Tuo Jiang Hua's bedroom, and she sent away the palace servants and nanny with excuses.
Compared with the hustle and bustle in the front hall, this place seems deserted.
When the three entered, no one was alarmed.
In the sleeping hall, Atuo Jianghua's two maids had already packed their things and were waiting for them.
As soon as the person came back, the maid immediately removed the stone bricks.
Atuo Jianghua was about to jump down first to explore the way, when a black shadow jumped up from the mouth of the tunnel.
She originally thought it was Zhou Jun who came to meet her, but unexpectedly, it was Si Yi who came.
Before she could be surprised, another figure came out.
When she saw that it was Gu Linchao, she was no longer surprised.
The empress dowager was very excited, she took two steps forward, looked at Gu Linchao, her lips parted, as if she wanted to say something, but thinking that it was not a good time to speak, she suppressed herself.
Gu Lin stepped forward to take a quick look at her, and after confirming that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't speak, but carried her on his back, then looked at Nanny Zeng and Atuo Jianghua, motioned for them to follow, and then went down the tunnel carrying the Empress Dowager on his back.
At this time, the smell of burning oil came from the room, A Tuo Jiang Hua was shocked, and didn't dare to delay any longer, he quickly helped Madam Zeng to follow her down the tunnel, followed by her two maids.
After they all went down the tunnel, Si Yi immediately threw the lighted torch in his hand onto the oiled cloth curtain.
As soon as the fire touched the kerosene, it immediately burst into a high flame and burned quickly.
After Si Yi confirmed that everything was safe, he withdrew into the tunnel.
Soon, the whole house was engulfed in flames.
Today is a great day for Gu Heng to get married and marry the queen, but he is not happy at all.
Gu Linchao did not attend the wedding banquet, and his plan to poison Gu Linchao was forced to run aground.
Moreover, if Gu Linchao didn't come to the capital, he openly disobeyed the imperial decree. Could it be that he wanted to rebel
Thinking of the soldier talisman in his hand, Gu Heng felt a downright chill.
Si Lan had been sitting there for a long time, and she didn't wait for the hipa to be lifted. Just when she couldn't hold back and wanted to do it herself, the palace servants suddenly yelled in panic, "It's on fire, Yuu!" Zhi Palace is on fire..."
