Chapter 42 He wants to subvert this royal power(1/2)
Two days later, Emperor Hui's most powerful man, Eunuch Zhao, looked happy. He hurriedly entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As soon as he entered, he kowtowed to Emperor Hui.
"Your Majesty, Prince Gu is awake."
Emperor Hui suddenly stood up, his body was exhausted, and his vision went dark. He rested his hands on the rosewood desk for a long time before he recovered.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhao quickly got up from the ground.
The familiar man took out the white jade bottle from the second drawer of the desk and poured out a pill.
Emperor Hui drank the tea and swallowed it.
Soon, my face looked much better.
"He finally woke up. If there is something wrong with him, how can I report it to Dingguo?"
Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyes and smiled: "The emperor's blessings are endless, and the prince will naturally be fine."
Emperor Hui felt comfortable listening.
"Come on, come with me and have a look."
When he arrived, the corners of Sheng Changling's eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried. He was giving medicine to Gu Huaizhi, who looked weak. When he heard the noise, he quickly stood up and wanted to salute.
"Okay, there aren't that many rules." He interrupted.
He sat on the chair brought by Eunuch Zhao. He had no doubts about Gu Huaizhi.
"These days, it really scares me."
Gu Huaizhi half leaned on the soft pillow weakly, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"The emperor is worried."
Sheng Changling followed: "The imperial doctor came to see you and said that you can just rest and rest."
Emperor Hui: "It was a dangerous night, but you were the only one who stood in front of me. Huai Zhi, you have done a great job in rescuing me. Whatever you want, I will satisfy you as much as I can."
When he said this, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Huaizhi.
The situation in Duke Dingguo's palace was rising. If Gu Huai's ambition was clear and he tried to use this incident to gain meritorious service and become a noble, he would naturally not allow it.
But when Gu Huaizhi heard this sentence, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
He just said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to return home as soon as possible."
What kind of request is this?
Emperor Hui took the tea cup brought by Eunuch Zhao and flipped the lid: "There is an imperial doctor in the palace, and you have just woken up, so it is inconvenient to bump back and forth."
Sheng Changling gave Gu Huaizhi another mouthful of medicine: "I was afraid that her mother would be worried, so I had to come up with a plan and ask Mr. Yi to send a message, saying that Huaizhi is fine. If she doesn't go back, I'm afraid she will have random thoughts again."
"My little sister's birthday is coming soon."
"I also asked the imperial doctor. As long as the wound is not torn, it will be fine."
Even though he was talking about this, Emperor Hui didn't insist on it.
What's more, Gu Huaizhi didn't make any other requests, so he won his heart very much.
That's right, after Gu Huaizhi won three yuan in a row, he felt that there were too many rules in officialdom, so he rejected the position of minister of Dali Temple.
Only people like this make him feel at ease.
He smiled and said very kindly: "I will accept it, but this is not a request. When you think about it clearly in the future, you can ask me for something."
Gu Huaizhi didn't believe a word he said.
Unless he does not harm Emperor Hui's interests.
But what he wants is to overthrow this royal power and bring justice to thousands of wronged souls.
Seeing that he was interesting, Emperor Hui took a sip of tea with a smile.
As soon as his hand loosened, the tea lid fell down. It matched the tea body, and only a crisp sound was heard.
He finally said the thing that worried him the most.
"The assassin died in fear of his crime. I will ask the prince to give you an explanation for this matter."
Gu Huaizhi had long known about Emperor Hui's dispatch of imperial guards.
Emperor Hui did this to tell the world that this matter had nothing to do with the prince.
The matter has been settled, and if he mentions it at this moment, it is just to ask him for an attitude.
He followed Emperor Hui's words, but they stabbed him like a thorn.
"The prince was just bewitched by the assassin and lost his sight."
I pricked it, but it wasn't strong enough.
He smiled and started pricking a second time.
"Besides, if the prince is respectful, he will naturally not kill his father."
Will not kill his father.
Patricide
Emperor Hui was in bad condition.
Day replaces night, and noise washes away silence.
Early in the morning, news spread throughout Lin'an that the Crown Prince's son was safe and sound.
The Imperial Guard withdrew half of it, and the city gates were opened, allowing people to enter and exit. However, the guards were still extremely strict, and they had to look at the roads and find out their identities.
The morning market is back to normal, and the streets and alleys are busy with customers.
The aunt wearing a blue coarse cloth was holding a basket and carrying fresh vegetables: "I was so suffocated the past few days."
"No, I'm worried. I don't have food at home, so I just eat some steamed buns every day, and there's no taste in my mouth."
"Have you heard that the little lady who comes in every day to sell fish outside the city cannot leave the city this time and is staying at the house of the poor Mrs. Zheng on Changning Street?"
Someone took out money to pay the bill and said, "Mr. Zheng is kind-hearted. This is indeed not a strange thing."
"I haven't finished speaking yet. This young lady has taken a fancy to Mrs. Zheng's son. She doesn't think the Zheng family is poor, but her parents have long been gone. Apart from her ability to sell fish, she is also considered to be helpless. Now,
Look, the marriage will be settled."
Some people feel weird after hearing this.
"Hey, what a great skill. A girl came to my door."
The parents here are short-sighted.
However, the Hou Mansion was in chaos.
After Ruan Zhen woke up, she met Tan Yun's shining eyes as soon as she opened her eyes. The next moment, Tan Yun covered his mouth and said the news he got from nowhere.
"Girl, my cousin left the old lady's house last night. When he returned to Zhengxuan Residence, he had a quarrel with the young lady."
Zhengxuanju is the courtyard of the Xu family.
No need to think about what Mrs. Fan said in front of Fan Kun yesterday when she was angry.
And Fan Kun didn't really care for Mrs. Xu.
Although there was a charcoal fire burning in the room, Ruan Zhen was afraid of the cold and did not want to get up from the bed. She twisted the brocade quilt, revealing only a pair of misty eyes.
Before she could think more, Tan Yun continued.
"My cousin was resting in the study later. This matter spread to the old lady's ears again, so she invited the two of them over early in the morning."
Ruan Zhen captured the key words.
Rest in the study?
She pondered this sentence carefully.
Regretfully came to the conclusion: Xu failed.
However, Mrs. Xu is a very serious person, and now that she has been reprimanded by Fan Kun, her desire to have children naturally becomes more urgent.
Ruan Zhen waits for her next move.
After Tan Yun said this, he pulled open the bed curtain, which was an eyesore, and hooked it with a golden hook.
The light falls and is a bit dazzling.
"Girl, get up and have your meal."
Ruan Zhen put all this behind her mind and covered herself with a brocade quilt.
"I can't afford it."
"The water for washing is ready."
Ruan Zhen suffered from laziness, and a muffled voice came from the quilt: "I won't wash it."
"Mother Ge will tell you when she sees it."
