In the middle of the night, a thunderstorm suddenly sounded in the capital of Yan Guosheng.
The little princess ate too many grapes before going to bed, and woke up in the middle of the night by peeing.
She opened her eyes and said, "Mommy, I want to pee."
No one responded to her.
She stayed in her little bed for a while, and she couldn't hold it any longer, so she had to get up by herself.
The little princess is a very shameful little elder. She hasn't wet the bed since she was two years old, so she decided to pee herself.
But there was lightning and thunder outside, and she was a little scared.
"Uncle, uncle."
She sat in the small mosquito net and called twice, but still no one paid her any attention.
Really really can't hold back.
Her little face was wrinkled into a ball, trying to hold back her little pee, crawling out of bed, and walking on the ground with her bare feet: "Eunuch Zhang..."
All the people in the dormitory seemed to have run out, and she was the only one left in the hall, which was lit up by lightning. .
Suddenly, a figure in a dragon robe walked in from the door.
Against the moonlight, he was eerily illuminated by the sudden appearance of lightning.
The uncle of the little princess, who was tall and majestic for her little girl, shivered with fright.
… urinated.
-
There was a thunderstorm at night, and the temperature was much cooler in the early morning.
Xiao Jingkong didn't officially live in the Guogong's mansion, but only came over occasionally for a while. He didn't come last night.
Auntie and Gu Yan slept late in their respective rooms as usual. Gu Xiaoshun and Master Lu got up early to practice woodworking. Gu Xiaoshun's talent was amazing. Master Lu was not satisfied with teaching him simple craftsmanship. Organism.
There is a trustworthy servant in the yard, so she doesn't have to cook, she went out early in the morning to collect medicine.
Grandpa Guo came over to have breakfast with Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun, and Master Lu.
Recently, people have been looking for the servants of the Guogong's mansion to inquire about the news, and there are unknown people who are secretly watching and wandering at the gate of the Guogong's mansion. It should be that Mu Ruxin leaked the news, which aroused the vigilance of the Han family.
Steward Zheng had been prepared for a long time, and while letting the people under him collect the money of the Han family, he gave the Han family a holiday news.
"The grandfather of the country has raised a few actors... He sings in the back house all day long."
"I see, our father-in-law is afraid that the evening will not be guaranteed."
An Guogong knew nothing about it.
It's all about Manager Zheng's actions. Anyway, Duke Ango said, it's fine if you can fool the Han family. As for how to fool you, you are free to play.
After breakfast, An Guogong sent Gu Jiao to the door as usual. Of course, Gu Jiao was still pushing his wheelchair.
After Gu Jiao moved into the Guogong's mansion, his rehabilitation was intensified, and the flexibility of his arms and body was greatly improved. In the past, only the wrist could be lifted, but now the whole arm can be lifted slightly.
The legs also gained a little strength, and although I could not stand, they could sway slightly when sitting or lying down.
In addition, his vocal cords can finally make a little sound, although only one syllable, which is a huge improvement.
The father and daughter came to the door.
Gu Jiao grabbed the reins on Heifeng King's back and said to Anguo justice: "Foster father, I'm going to the military camp."
An Guogong: "Ah."
it is good.
Take care on the road.
Gu Jiao got on her horse and was about to gallop away when she saw a troubled figure stumbling over.
Several guards from the Guogong Mansion hurriedly stood in front of Gu Jiao and An Guogong vigilantly.
"It's... it's me..."
The man was so tired that he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Eunuch Zhang?" Gu Jiao saw what he looked like, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, came to him, squatted down and asked him, "Why did you look like this?"
Zhang Dequan was disheveled, his clothes were messy, and he had lost one of his shoes.
His strength was running out long ago, and he firmly grabbed Gu Jiao's wrist with an obsession: "Master Xiao... hurry up... tell me... the third princess... and the eldest grandson... Your majesty, he... something happened... "
Last night, the monarch went to the cold palace to see Concubine Han. It was about Empress Xuanyuan's secret. Zhang Dequan didn't dare to listen to it, and stayed outside the courtyard with interest.
He didn't know what the two were talking about. He just felt that the monarch had been in for too long. Based on what he knew about the monarch, the monarch had no feelings for Concubine Han, so he should come out after asking.
What are you doing
He muttered inwardly, and glanced weakly inside.
It was this look that saved his life!
He saw a black-robed man descend from the sky, knocking the monarch stunned with one palm.
He is by no means the kind of person who escapes when his master dies, but rushing to bury him knowing that he is not an opponent is not loyal, but sick.
He runs away!
Xu Shitian didn't kill him, and there happened to be a large inner master patrolling nearby. The inner master noticed the fluctuation of the master's internal strength, and used Qinggong to go to the cold palace to find out. Chance.
He had planned to escape back to the monarch's dormitory to dispatch the masters, but was shocked to find that all the masters in the palace had been killed.
He boldly guessed that when the monarch went to see Concubine Han in the cold palace, someone sneaked in and killed them.
After the killing, the man went to the cold palace to return to Concubine Han, and knocked out the monarch.
He has never had good luck in his life, and only passed by Lord Yama twice tonight.
He understood that the palace was no longer safe and fled the palace overnight.
The reason why he didn't go to the National Teacher's Hall was because he was worried that if Concubine Han found out that he was gone, he would have guessed that he was looking for the third princess of the National Teacher's Hall and the eldest grandson of the emperor.
He thought that Master Xiao had moved to the Duke's Mansion, so he decided to try his luck.
After he said that, he fainted, and Steward Zheng was stunned: "Hey, Eunuch Zhang, you can tell what happened to Your Majesty!"
Gu Jiao was silent.
It's not what she thinks it is, is it
Steward Zheng asked Gu Jiao, "Master, what should he do?"
Gu Jiao took his pulse and said, "He's fine, he's just tired and faint. First, bring people into the manor, and I'll go to the National Teacher's Hall."
"Ah." Anguo said openly.
Gu Jiao looked back at Duke An.
An Guogong wrote on the armrest: "It's better for me to go. If you go to the military camp normally, it's like you haven't seen Eunuch Zhang. I'll have someone contact you if something happens."
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Alright."
Steward Zheng hurriedly carried the fainted Eunuch Zhang into the house, and repeatedly told the guards: "No one is allowed to spread the word about today's affairs!"
"Yes!" The guards responded.
An Guogong went to the National Teacher's Hall and secretly brought Xiao Heng to his carriage.
When Xiao Heng arrived at the Fengyuan Courtyard of Duke Anguo’s mansion, Zhang Dequan had been woken up by Nan Shi Niang with a needle, and Xiao Heng went to the wing to meet him.
Next door, in Gu Chengfeng's room, sat his aunt and the old priest, and eavesdropped on Gu Chengfeng and Gu Yan in the corner.
Nan Shi Niang was drying the medicine in the yard and approached the window of the wing.
Master Lu was making a bow and crossbow, and he came to the window while doing it.
The couple looked at each other: "…"
Zhang Dequan explained everything that happened last night, and at the end he did not forget to add his own thoughts: "… the servant felt inappropriate at the time, but His Majesty's eldest grandson must also understand that it is about Empress Xuanyuan, It is impossible not to go, Your Majesty."
This is the aftermath.
How did he expect that the Han family would be so daring to murder the ruler of a country in the palace
"Did you hear what they said?" Xiao Heng asked.
"The servant didn't dare to eavesdrop... just..." Zhang Dequan thought about it carefully, "they said a few words very loudly, and the servant heard it, Han said, 'I don't want to go this far, Your Majesty, it's you Forcing a concubine!'"
Xiao Heng paused and asked, "Anything else?"
Zhang Dequan scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks: "And... and His Majesty said, 'It's you?'
It sounded like the monarch had an argument with the Han family.
"What does Auntie think?" Xiao Heng went to the next door.
Empress Dowager Zhuang held the candied fruit jar and snorted: "Love can't get it, hate because of jealousy."
Another Concubine Jing, but more ruthless than Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing was also unable to love the late emperor, but unfortunately she did not dare to touch the late emperor, so she could only keep embarrassing the late emperor's women and children.
It is commonly known as picking up soft persimmons, but she did not expect that Empress Dowager Zhuang was not a soft persimmon, but a cactus.
Empress Dowager Zhuang babbled and ate a candied fruit: "Well, that's what you should do with scumbags."
Xiao Heng: "..."
Aunt, where are you from
Gu Chengfeng asked, "Since the Han family has such a formidable expert, why didn't she act sooner? Did she wait until she and her son were both deposed by the monarch before making a ruthless attack?"
As a straight man of steel, Gu Chengfeng couldn't understand Han's behavior.
As a woman who has been ups and downs in the harem for many years, Empress Dowager Zhuang can somewhat understand Han's state of mind.
Han has long had a weapon to deal with the monarch. Besides considering the risks brought by the whole thing, another important reason for her delay in taking action is that she has always had a trace of affection for the monarch in her heart.
While she hated the monarch, she also longed for the monarch to canonize her as the queen, let her mother honor the world, and be a true husband and wife with the monarch.
It's a pity that the monarch's actions one after another chilled Han's heart.
The original intention of her calling the monarch to the cold palace should be to give the monarch one last chance. As long as the monarch shows a little affection for her, she can wait later.
Too bad she was disappointed.
There was never a place for her in the king's heart.
Women who are serious about their careers are the most terrifying, and King Dayan suffers from it.
On the other side, Steward Zheng, who went to the palace to inquire about news, also returned.
He reported the information he had inquired to Anguogong and his party: "... Your Majesty went to court, I didn't hear anything, but Eunuch Zhang... It is said that he was found to be having an affair with a palace maid named What Yue, and he was worried about being punished. Punishment, he absconded from the palace overnight."
As soon as he walked to the door, Zhang Dequan heard such a sentence: "...!!"
Zhang Dequan: "Your Majesty already knew about the eclipse between me and Qiuyue! I crossed the road! Your Majesty can't punish me! It's even more impossible for me to abscond because of this!"
Everyone's mouth twitched: "..."
You are really fighting with people.
This matter is very hidden, except for the monarch, Zhang Dequan did not let the second outsider know.
Zhang Dequan was so shocked that he even forgot to be surprised when he saw so many people in the room, including two patients he had seen in the National Teacher Hall.
He asked nervously: "Oops, Qiuyue has fallen into their hands, and Qiuyue is in danger!"
Everyone looked at him with sympathy.
Zhang Dequan asked, "You, why do you see me like this?"
The old sacrifice wine pushed the cup forward: "Have a cup of green tea."
Xiao Heng handed the dim sum plate to him: "Have a mung bean cake."
Gu Yan spread out his palm: "I'll give you a jade bottle."
Zhang Dequan: "..."
-
The monarch was knocked unconscious by Concubine Han at night. In the morning, the Han family let him go to court, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong.
Judging from what happened between Qiuyue and Zhang Dequan, the harem should have been controlled by the Han family.
But according to the news that Steward Zheng came back, Han was not released from the cold palace.
In short, all of this was done by the Han family with the help of the monarch.
Why did the monarch take orders from the Han family
Did he have a handle on Han's hands? Or... he was controlled by the Han family
Xiao Heng said: "My mother has entered the palace to face the Holy Spirit, wait for her to come back and hear what she has to say."
After more than half a month of "cultivation", Shangguan Yan had already recovered to be able to stand and walk, but in order to show her weakness, she still chose to enter the palace in a wheelchair.
She went to the king's bedroom to wait.
However, the strange thing is that the palace servants did not allow her to enter.
She is the third princess, the precious daughter who can lie down in the king's bedroom even if she is abolished, how dare she stop her from entering
"What's your name? This princess has never seen you before." Shangguan Yan sat in a wheelchair and asked the little eunuch in front of him lightly.
The little eunuch smiled and said, "The slave's name is Huanxi, and I was just transferred."
"Where's Zhang Dequan?" Shangguan Yan asked.
He smiled happily and said, "Eunuch Zhang was found to be having an affair with the palace maid, and they absconded overnight, and now it is Director Yu who is waiting by His Majesty's side."
Shangguan Yan frowned and said, "Which one is the general manager?"
Said happily: "Yu Changpo and the general manager."
It seems to be a bit of an impression. I used to serve in front of the royal family, but I was not very favored.
How did you promote him
"Where's Xiao Zhao?" she asked again.
He sighed happily and said, "Xiao Zhao and Zhang Gong have a good bus. They were implicated and punished, and they were transferred to the clothes room."
Shangguan Yan asked a few palace servants who were still in front of the imperial court in one breath, but they were all gone. The reason was the same as Xiao Zhao's - implicated and punished.
This phenomenon is not surprising in the harem, but it is unusual for her to be blocked from the door.
After all, no matter whether she is new or old, you should have heard that she is very favored recently.
Shangguan Yan said lightly: "You stopped me outside, are you not afraid that my father will blame you for coming back?"
Huanxi knelt down and reported: "This is His Majesty's intention. No one is allowed to break in without permission. The servants are also doing things according to the order. Please be considerate of the third princess."
Shangguan Yan did not see the monarch in the end, and she went to the Hall of Central Harmony to find the monarch of the next court and was also turned away.
Shangguan Yan was fascinated: "What kind of medicine does the old man sell in the gourd? Could it be that Concubine Wang Xian and the others have betrayed me? No, I'm not afraid of death, but they are still afraid of death."
Shangguan Yan left the palace with doubts.
On the other side, Gu Jiao ended her official duties in the military camp, and rode the Heifeng King back to the Duke's Mansion.
Xiao Heng went to pick up Xiaojingkong.
The matter was relayed by Gu Chengfeng and Gu Yan.
When she heard that the monarch had an accident in the cold palace, Gu Jiao knew that it was time to come.
In the dream, the monarch was also plotted against Concubine Han Gui in the cold palace, and the person who did it was the dark soul. Under the control of Concubine Han and the Han family, Dayan fell into a more terrifying civil strife than fifteen years ago.
Jin and Liang took the opportunity to fight Dayan.
Under the internal and external troubles, Dayan suffered a devastating blow, not only lost twelve cities, but also damaged countless outstanding children of aristocratic families.
Mu Qingchen, fight to the death!
Daoist Qingfeng, die in battle!
Xuanyuan seven sons, die in battle!
…
The Xuanyuan Army, which had been overwhelmed by the three-year civil war, was unable to turn the tide, and in the end the entire army was wiped out!
In the dream, Concubine Han imprisoned the monarch only six years later.
Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng fixedly: "The monarch, he is no longer the monarch of the past."
Xiao Heng looked solemn: "What do you mean by this?"
Gu Jiao didn't say how she knew about it, but only said everything in her dream: "He was replaced by someone."
The person to replace the monarch was carefully selected by the Han family for the dark soul. Not only was the appearance very similar to the monarch, but even his voice and habits also deliberately imitated the monarch.
This is the biggest trump card in Han's hand besides Dark Soul.
That day when the dark soul went to the outer city, it should be to see this person.
Xiao Heng didn't ask where Gu Jiao got the news, he believed her, he believed it, and would not press her about things she didn't want to reveal.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Han would still have such a move in his hand." He said solemnly, "The monarch, he..."
Gu Jiao said, "The real monarch is not dead."
After all, the Han family was reluctant to kill the monarch, but only imprisoned him.
At this time, the Han family did not know that after three months, the monarch would die of illness in a cellar where there was no daylight.
She still lost him after all.
This is also the beginning of all nightmares. Without the monarch to stabilize the Han family, the Han family and the Han family completely launched a civil strife.
"I have to snatch the monarch over." Gu Jiao said.
