Long Wind Crossing

    Gu Jiusi walked out of the palace with Liu Yuru on his back. It was a short way, but he felt it was very long.

    He walked at the beginning of the period, then ran, and finally, regardless of his manners, rushed out all the way. After rushing out, he saw Gu's carriage waiting outside the door. He jumped into the carriage and said hurriedly with the driver, "Go!"

    Liu Yuru was already asleep at the moment, Gu Jiusi sat in the carriage with a cold expression, he held Liu Yuru's hand trembling slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing. He held her hand, felt her body temperature, put her hand under his lips, and lightly printed it on it.

    His eyes were full of turbulence, but the whole person showed an indescribable restraint.

    In the inner palace, the queen mother looked at Fan Xuan and couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, you just let him go like this?"

    Fan Xuan was drinking tea without speaking. The queen mother suddenly raised a voice: "Your Majesty, you let this scoundrel go like this?! He disregarded the holy orders and yelled in front of the inner palace, and even used force against the forbidden army. What is this? This is a crime! It is treason. Your Majesty just doesn't care about it?!"

    "The Queen Mother," Fan Xuan dragged his voice and said while blowing his teacup, "Gu Aiqing is young and reckless, and it's not a big deal. I will punish him, don't worry about it."

    The Queen Mother listened to Fan Xuan's words and calmed down slowly. Li Yunshang noticed the change in Fan Xuan's attitude, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is also tired. Queen Mother, let Your Majesty go back to rest first."

    The queen mother did not speak, she slowed down in Li Yunshang's reconciliation, she sat down slowly, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty made him make such a fuss in the palace, and swaggered out, and now he is still a suspect Let other officials in the DPRK see it, isn't it inappropriate?"

    "The Queen Mother is right."

    Fan Xuan nodded and said, "I'll have someone chase him back."

    The queen mother choked, did she want Gu Jiusi to be brought back? ! What she wanted was a cure for the sin of the man who had offended him!

    In this way, she rejected Li Yunshang's marriage in court, which made Li Yunshang's face rest?

    Li Yunshang is her most beloved daughter, and now the marriage is so aggrieved, the queen mother always has a knot in her heart.

    But the queen mother looked at Fan Xuan's face and did not dare to go too far. She knew very well that Fan Xuan needed her to stabilize the power of the old nobles in the court. When they captured the Eastern Capital, it was only because these old nobles cooperated with each other that they entered the city so easily. Now the counties and counties of Daxia are stable, because these old nobles still have nothing to worry about. Fan Xuan only ascended to the throne with her permission and cooperation, and was able to transition from the previous dynasty to the new dynasty so smoothly, so Fan Xuan cared about her and respected her.

    But she is only the queen mother of the former dynasty, after all, she can't do too much.

    When Fan Xuan said this, the queen mother couldn't push her any more, she just said, "You should be punished properly, after all, you are still too young."

    Fan Xuan nodded and thought about it, but he said: "You saw it too, Mrs. Gu Shao would rather die than have this marriage. The two of them are deeply in love, The princess will not be happy even if she gets married, I think, let's change someone else."

    The topic went around and came back to Li Yunshang's marriage.

    Li Yunshang secretly clenched her fists, the queen mother's face sank, after a long time, she slowly said: "Yunshang is the only child in this palace now..."

    "It's also the only princess in Daxia today."

    Fan Xuan said calmly: "The envoy from Beiliang will soon arrive in the Eastern Capital, it's not that I don't think about Princess Yunshang, but if the envoy from Beiliang arrives and the princess hasn't married yet, they ask for marriage. , I have no choice."

    "After all," Fan Xuan raised his eyes to look at Li Yunshang, "Da Xia needs stability, but the princess said that?"

    Li Yunshang and the queen mother did not speak, Fan Xuan lowered his head and drank tea, said indifferently: "Master Gu can't do it, I thought about it, Zhang Quezhi, the eldest son of Zuo Xiang Zhang Yu, has no official room, he is young He is only twenty-four years old, and he is a servant of the Ministry of Industry, and he is considered a young talent, so what about him?"

    "How is this possible?"

    The Queen Mother was shocked. Everyone knew that Zhang Quezhi had a wife. Her wife's father was a member of the Qin Tianjian. He presided over it, but it turned out to be unlucky. The prince held a grudge, and took advantage of the flood incident later, saying that Zhang Que's wife's father concealed the flood divination information and did not report it, resulting in disaster. Zhang Que's father-in-law was sentenced to beheading, and Zhang Que's wife avenged the father's injustice and stopped the prince in the street. The sedan chair sued the imperial court, but was shot and killed in the street by the prince as an assassin.

    Zhang Quezhi was originally an official in the Eastern Capital, which is why, after the death of his wife, he asked to be demoted and went to Youzhou to work under his father.

    Nowadays the dynasty has changed, and the little official has also become the prime minister, but Zhang Quezhi's hatred of the royal family is difficult to wash away.

    The prince at that time was Li Yunshang's biological brother.

    Li Yunshang turned pale, she raised her eyes, looked at Fan Xuan, and twitched her lips.

    She wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

    She knew that Fan Xuan did it on purpose.

    The Empress Dowager and Li Yunshang are the weather vanes of those old nobles. If their military flags don't fall down, these people will stay together forever, and what Fan Xuan wants is to let the military flag fall.

    "Your Majesty," Li Yunshang looked at Fan Xuan quietly, "Are you sure, do you really want to do this?"

     Fan Xuan smiled lightly when he heard this.

    "Your Highness," Fan Xuan put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I am the Son of Heaven."

    Speaking, he said coldly: "You have no jokes."

    Li Yunshang and the Queen Mother did not speak, Fan Xuan turned decisively and said coldly: "The case of Liu Chun was handed over to the Censor, and the Censor will investigate thoroughly. , get married within ten days. Otherwise, after ten days, the princess will have to go to Beiliang."

    After finishing speaking, Fan Xuan walked out of the door. Zhang Fengxiang followed behind Fan Xuan and whispered, "Didn't your majesty say that you want to give the queen mother some face? You marry the princess to the eldest son Zhang, I'm afraid..."

    "I gave them face," Fan Xuan said indifferently, "Did they give me?"

    Zhang Fengxiang smiled, understood what Fan Xuan meant, but stopped talking.

    Gu Jiusi carried Liu Yuru all the way into Gu's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he ran to the bedroom and quickly called the doctor over.

    Ye Shian, Zhou Ye, and Shen Ming chased in and hurriedly said, "How's it going?"

    Gu Jiusi didn't say anything, the doctor came in, took Liu Yuru's pulse, and after a moment's careful examination, he said, "Madam just took some sleeping and restorative medicine, it's not a big problem, just fall asleep. All right."

    Hearing this, Gu Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart was finally put down.

    Although he had already guessed that Fan Xuan was unlikely to really drink poisonous wine for Liu Yuru, but even if there was only a small possibility, he was afraid in his heart. This is relieved.

    The three people next to him watched Gu Jiusi come over and Zhou Ye said, "Go and change your clothes."

    Gu Jiusi wiped his face, nodded, stood up and went to the inner room.

    When I saw Fan Xuan in the morning, he had already taken a shower, and now he just changed his clothes, re-tied his crown, and then walked out. A few people stood at the door waiting for him. Gu Jiusi first asked Liu Yuru's situation again. After learning that she would sleep for a while, he led Zhou Ye and others to the outside to discuss in detail.

    "I heard that your case will be handed over to my uncle tomorrow. As long as it is transferred, it will be easy to handle."

    Ye Shian listened to Gu Jiusi's description of the situation in the palace, and said with Gu Jiusi: "You came to your majesty today and did not speak, everyone should understand what your majesty means."

    "This matter is resolved," Zhou Ye smiled, "I might as well leave Dongdu to take up my post."

    Hearing this, everyone was stunned, Gu Jiusi subconsciously asked: "Big Brother Zhou is leaving?"

    "It's long overdue to leave." Zhou Ye felt helpless, "It's just that I couldn't bear Wanqing, so I stayed with her more. Then it happened to you again, and it was delayed again."

    “Won’t my sister-in-law come with you?”

    Shen Ming was a little puzzled, Zhou Ye shook his head, Shen Ming looked at Gu Jiusi next to him, Gu Jiusi explained: "Now the new dynasty has withdrawn the position of Jiedu envoy, and Brother Zhou is going to Youzhou. Staying behind is equivalent to Jiedushi. Youzhou is on the border, and there are large troops stationed there, and Brother Zhou is equivalent to being both a civilian and a military general. The family members of military generals who are stationed on the border and hold heavy troops cannot leave the Eastern Capital."

    "Is this taking my sister-in-law hostage?"

    Shen Ming spoke subconsciously, and Zhou Ye's expression turned a little unsightly. Ye Shian glared at Shen Ming, and Shen Ming hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, I'm not sensible, don't mind."

    "You're right." Zhou Ye smiled, "It's really a hostage, I'm afraid something will happen to us."

     "Brother Zhou, don't worry, we are all in Dongdu and will take good care of my sister-in-law."

    Gu Jiusi hurried to comfort, Zhou Ye shook his head and smiled: "Just take care of yourselves, but it is you, Jiusi, this time you have come up with an idea for Your Majesty to marry Princess Yunshang, The queen mother is afraid that she will hate you to death."

    Gu Jiusi smiled wryly: "That's something that can't be helped." He poured himself tea, his voice flat, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will meet sooner or later, Princess Yunshang is the Queen Mother. With a card in her hand, whoever she marries will be the future of the old aristocracy."

    "I heard that she wants to marry you." Shen Ming said quickly, this made Gu Jiusi tremble, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, the word spread to Yuru Ear you, I'll break your leg."

    "You just talk about it," Shen Ming asked curiously, "Is there really such a thing?"

    Gu Jiusi did not expect Shen Ming to gossip like this, so she sighed helplessly and nodded.

    "Where did you say she liked you?" Shen Ming touched his chin, "Is it because you are handsome?"

    "Look at his uncle."

    Seeing that Shen Ming was not enlightened, Ye Shian reminded: "In the past, his uncle and the queen mother had a good relationship. I heard that his uncle wanted to arrest him to come to Princess Dongdushang. There is a marriage contract. Now that Princess Yunshang has an embarrassing status, His Majesty the old aristocrat is not allowed to marry, unless she waits until the day when the old aristocracy re-emerges, that is, there are some people left by His Majesty to choose. And among His Majesty's people, Gu Jiusi has one Jiang He was a matchmaker, so the queen mother and the princess could trust him even more. In addition, he was capable, handsome, and anyone with a discerning eye could see His Majesty's expectations for him in the future. It could be said that a young talent had a bright future, and Princess Yunshang took a fancy to him. , is also normal.”

      Why again?"

      As for the poisonous wine, His Majesty did it. Yuru poisoned the wine, no one can force it, it sounds ugly."

    "Fortunately it's fake wine," Ye Shian sighed, "You guys are too bold."

    "It's her courage." Gu Jiusi smiled bitterly, "It's not me."

    As he was talking, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "Master Gu, the young lady has also read it. Your Majesty said, you should go back first, and wait for the Censor to settle your grievances. Xue, it's not too late to take care of the young lady again."

    Hearing this, Gu Jiusi and the people around him glanced at him and felt helpless.

    He asked the **** to greet him, got up by himself, and entered the room. Liu Yuru was still asleep, he sat on the edge and looked at Liu Yuru quietly.

    "I'm going back now."

    Gu Jiusi spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing her: "Don't worry too much, you will be back in two days. You have to eat well and sleep well. Don't worry about the queen mother and the princess. "

    Speaking, he raised his hand and put it on Liu Yuru's face: "If they bullied you, I will let them return little by little."
