The palace feast on New Year's Eve was unhappy, and Liu Ruyi was given to death in the end.
When she was dragged out by the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, she was still unconscious, not knowing if she woke up when the knife was placed on her neck.
If she didn't wake up, it was her luck.
Yufu was sitting on the carriage returning home and suddenly trembled.
"Don't be afraid, I am here."
Gu Shubai was sitting on the carriage with him, her voice was dull, "I'm not afraid, it's just a bit cold."
She was obviously afraid, and she had to pretend not to be afraid.
Not to mention Yufu, how many of the courtiers are not afraid of today
When everyone elected the second prince to the throne, I knew that the one sitting on the Golden Dragon Seat today would be so cruel and arrogant.
The palace city was stained with blood on New Year's Eve, and everyone was a little bit scared.
He didn't expose it, and he held her tightly in his arms, "It's windy tonight, so it won't be cold when I return home. Is this better?"
Yufu cuddled in his arms and hooked the seven-color jade jue with his fingers, "Big brother, you said that everyone has a seven-color gemstone, will you win triumphs no matter where you go in the future?"
"probably."
Gu Shubai doesn't believe in the theory of strange power and chaos, let alone a stone lump, if you have it, you can triumph, what is the fight of the soldiers on the battlefield
But he couldn't bear to speak bluntly and could only obscure the past.
Yufu put the things into his purse, "Gu's army is invincible on the battlefield, but the wind is blowing in all directions in the palace, can we still be able to stop it?"
…
"General! Let's go in!"
The gate of Guhou's Mansion was slammed, and the soldiers stood in a dilemma outside the mansion.
Qi Zhou hurried out immediately, "What's the matter?"
He knew at a glance why the soldiers were in a dilemma. It was not the others who came here, but the generals such as Lao Jin and Yan Huashi.
"Why are the generals here? Tonight is New Year's Eve..."
"What's New Year's Eve? We all know what happened in the palace. Let's take care of everything. Hurry up and take us to see the general!"
Qi Zhou hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways to give way, "The general is not asleep yet, please come in, generals."
Everyone rushed in anxiously. When they arrived at the upper room, they saw that the room was brightly lit. Gu Huaijiang and several young men sat in the hall to watch the year. Everyone was quiet.
"I have seen the general!"
After saluting in unison, Lao Jin glanced in the hall, but did not see Yufu, "Oops! General, where is Miss Yufu?"
When everyone saw that Yufu was not seen, they were shocked for a while.
Gu Shubai hurriedly said: "You don't need to worry, Yufu heard that you are coming, so I went to the kitchen to prepare more wine and vegetables, and I will come soon."
Lao Jin let out a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, Lao Jin, I thought she was..."
"For why?"
Lao Jin glanced at Yan Huashi, who bit his head and said: "We have heard about what happened in the palace. Your Majesty is too shameless. The marriage between the major general and Yufu is gifted by the first emperor. How dare your Majesty be strong? Take Hao Duo? Does he have a bit of filial piety for the Son of Man and the kindness of the emperor?"
Lao Jin said: "Yes, General, your majesty's move is too much! Since your majesty became the throne, our Gu family army has been repeatedly suppressed, and now Prime Minister Yin wants to extend the hand of military reform to our Gu family army! A joke, Under the rule of the general, he still needs a civil servant who doesn't understand him to reform?"
"General, you can't just endure this incident. Why don't we all enter the palace together and talk to your Majesty, lest he think that I have no one in my family's army and can be fooled at will!"
Everyone talked a lot, Yufu walked in from outside the house, and the discussion stopped.
Behind her, Yaolan and others brought up the newly-made dishes and snacks from the kitchen, and placed them on the big round table in the hall. "Everyone came here late at night, I think the New Year’s Eve dinner was never delicious. Drink some warm wine here. Stomach."
Lao Jin sighed, "My Lao Jin has done nothing in my life. The most meaningful thing is that I took the young lady back from the Immortal Valley back then! We didn’t read the wrong person, even the queen’s. You can afford the position, I admire the lady in my heart!"
He clasped his fists in a salute, as did the rest of the generals, which made Yufu a little embarrassed.
Yufu helped them up one by one, "It's not worth admiring, I never care about these false names."
Yaolan pours the wine while looking at Yufu.
Her status is noble, and the position of Queen Dongling is considered a treasure to others, and in her opinion it is not worth paying attention to.
Lao Jin and the others didn’t know Yufu’s identity, and admired Yufu. They said, “Miss doesn’t want to be a queen, she can’t stand her majesty's obsession! General, you are just telling us, can our method work?”
"Of course not."
Gu Huaijiang raised his eyes to look at the people, motioned them to all sit down and talk, and when they were seated, they said: "Gu's army holds two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and your Majesty has been blinded by the traitor. You are afraid of it when you go to the palace. Feeling it is a threat, it will only dread us even more."
"I can't go into the palace to find your Majesty, what should I do?"
Lao Jin scratched his head, and Yan Huashi said: "What is the best way for the general, just say, I will do my best to cooperate! Our young lady of the Gu Jiajun, how can your majesty say to grab it? Absolutely not!"
Gu Jiuge said: "I am not worried about Yufu at the moment, it is my father. Your Majesty did not forcefully decree Yufu tonight. After all, he still fears the strength of the Gu family army and the prestige of his father in the court. If your majesty does not give up, Then his only way is to weaken his father's prestige and Gu's strength... I'm afraid that soon, your majesty will attack his father!"
"Dare he?"
Lao Jin stood up with a slap on the table, and his eyes widened, "If it weren't for our general, would he be able to ascend the throne? He would have died in the clan mansion prison! This ungrateful person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, what qualifications does he have to be an emperor? "
"Shh, are you crazy?"
Yan Huashi immediately stood up and covered his mouth. Fortunately, the subordinates in the Guhou Mansion were loyal, and Qi Zhou and others in the courtyard would not spread it out when they heard this.
He pointed at Lao Jin solemnly, "This kind of thing is also utterly utterly? You don't want your life, don't hurt the generals and young ladies! Remember, no matter whether he is qualified or not, he is already the emperor. "
"He's right," Gu Shubai said, "The person who sits above the Golden Temple is indeed not qualified to be an emperor."
"Shubai!"
Gu Huaijiang sternly stopped him, "Your Majesty must have been provoked by a treacherous man. His nature is not like this. Don't worry. If I go to the palace to see your Majesty tomorrow, I will surely persuade him to change his mind."
Lao Jin, Yan Huashi and others hurriedly said, "General, do you want to go alone? How can it be done?"
"Yes, I only angered your majesty tonight. What if he can't think of being unfavorable to the general?"
Gu Shubai didn't speak any more.
Other things may be Yin Shuo's instigation of Ning Chengzhi, such as military reforms, such as suppressing the Guhou Mansion.
But Yufu's matter can never be Yin Shuo's intentional instigation.
If Ning Chengzhi makes up his mind, Gu Huaijiang can hardly tell him.
Suddenly he had an idea in his mind, "I will let my second brother accompany my father into the palace tomorrow, so I can take care of it. I will go to Xiangfu tomorrow. Maybe Yin Shuo has any thoughts on this matter."
Everyone in Guhou Mansion understood what he was talking about, and fell silent for a while.
Yufu had a faint premonition in his heart, "Big Brother, I will accompany you tomorrow, and take a look at Ji Yan by the way."
Gu Huaijiang was noncommittal, "Then it's settled, you all go back, this matter doesn't need you for the time being, so remember not to act rashly."
Lao Jin and the others can only be in a hurry. They can't do anything for such a big thing, so it's not too uncomfortable in their hearts.
But Gu Huaijiang was right. If they went to see Ning Chengzhi in the palace, it would only make people feel that it was a threat, and it would be even more detrimental to the development of the situation.
Everyone had to say goodbye. When he left, Lao Jin deliberately pulled Qi Zhou aside, "If the general wants to do something big, you must send someone to notify me! We all want to protect the generals, you can follow us It's a group, do you hear me?"
Qi Zhou looked at him embarrassedly, feeling that his words were not wrong, "General Jin rest assured, if something really happens, I'm sure to send someone to invite you!"
As everyone left, Guhou's Mansion returned to its previous quietness, only the lights under the corridor were brightly red on the ground.
Yu Fu stared at the swaying light of the lantern, everyone in the hall was silent, and even Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, who had always been lively, quieted up, without a trace of Chinese New Year atmosphere.
Suddenly she stood up with a smile, "You can't just sit and watch for the whole night, right? That's too boring, five brothers and six brothers, let's perform ghost tricks for everyone, okay?"
