Chapter 138

Ning Wangfu.

There was a screen around the garden pavilion to block the wind.

Inside the screen, there is the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is melodious with a bit of laziness.

The maidservant and the Chamberlain were waiting on the side, and did not dare to approach.

Liu Zhao played the piano alone, relaxed.

The wind and rain outside can not affect his mood of playing the piano.

The sound of the piano gradually becomes intense, which reveals the ambition of the people who play it.

When Zhao sanchao, the guard, came to the pavilion, he could not help but lighten his steps when he heard the sound of the piano.

Instead of disturbing Liu Zhao, he waited outside the pavilion for an interview.

"Is Zhao San here?" Liu Zhao's cold voice came from the screen. With the sound of the piano, in winter, it seems like ice, which makes people shiver subconsciously.

Guard Zhao three bows the body to answer a way: "subordinate is in."

"Come in."

"Yes."

Zhao San raised his steps, stepped up the steps, removed the screen and walked into the pavilion.

The pavilion is as warm as spring.

Zhao San looked down and saw the brazier in the corner.

Liu Zhao continued to play the piano, the tone was low, as if for whom.

Liu Zhao mixed several pieces of music together and played them for nearly half an hour before stopping.

As soon as the music stopped, the maid came in from the screen, carrying hot water to wipe Liu Zhao's fingers.

Every finger should be wiped carefully. After wiping, massage and relax.

After enjoying a while, Liu Zhao waved her hand and the maids quietly withdrew from the pavilion.

He picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and asked, "what's up?"

Zhao San bowed and said, "Qingping Racecourse has sent another batch of horses to Beijing."

"That's it?"

Liu Zhao raised her eyelids and looked indifferent.

Zhao San quickly said: "things are really developing according to the plan of the young master. Mr. Gu was sent to prison last night. This morning, the Duke of Pingnan went into the palace to face the saint and wanted to intercede for him. But his majesty did not give Pingnan Hou a chance. The Pingnan Marquis should have asked Li Shizhong for a talk

Liu Zhao was expressionless and kept silent.

Zhao San thought about it carefully and said, "master Gu is the father of Gu Er girl. If Mr. Gu fails this time, Miss Gu will have a bad future. She will not be able to marry any good family at that time

"Are you worried about her?"

Liu Zhao asked coldly.

"After all, she saved the childe," Zhao said

Liu Zhao's mouth slightly Yang, "you said right, she saved this childe after all."

Lin Shuping, an internal servant, walked into the pavilion and bowed down to salute, "I'd like to report to you, sir. The princess is welcome."

Liu Zhaomei moved her eyebrows and asked calmly, "why does the imperial concubine want to see this young master?"

"I don't know." After a pause, Lin Shuping guessed: "or for the childe's marriage."

Liu Zhao seldom frowned.

Concerning Liu Zhao's marriage, Zhao San did not dare to speak.

Liu Zhao was silent for a moment and said to Zhao San, "go to the study and wait. I will go to see my mother first. "

"Yes, I do."

Liu Zhao got up, and the maids went into the pavilion silently and put on his cloak to ensure that he would not be attacked by the cold wind.

Liu Zhao went to Chunhe hall where Princess Ning lived.

Enter the main room, see Ning Princess Pei's is chatting with two side concubines, several beautiful people chatting and laughing.

Several of Liu Zhao's younger sisters also accompany Princess Ning for fun.

He walked forward without expression and bowed to him, "my son sees his mother's concubine and greets her. How is your mother's health these days

Princess Ning originally had a smiling face. From the moment she saw Liu Zhao, her smile gradually converged and her eyes became serious.

She looked at Liu Zhao indifferently, "come on, sit down. Now that you are old, it's not easy to see you. "

Liu Zhao sat down at the head of Pei, Princess of Ning, without expression.

Side imperial concubine and beautiful people, rise one after another, "empress and eldest childe have something to talk about, we will leave first."

Liu Zhao's sisters also followed.

Ning Princess Pei's hand waved, "you are busy to go."

Because of everyone's farewell, most of the room was empty in an instant.

The maid brought a cup of health tea and put it in the hands of Princess Pei of Ning.

Princess of Ning took a sip of health tea, but she didn't speak.

Liu Zhao was patient and did not speak.

After drinking tea, Princess of Ning Pei frowned at Liu Zhao's silence.

"Don't you talk to the princess?"

Liu Zhao slightly bowed, "the mother imperial concubine calls her son to come over, isn't there something to tell you? Son, listen to me

Princess Ning Pei frowned and was obviously dissatisfied. She pressed down her anger and said calmly, "you're old enough to get married. Your brother has already begun to make a match. When are you going to delay it? "Liu Zhaomei's eyes picked up and laughed, "my mother is worried about me. When the time comes, the son's marriage will be settled. Don't worry

"You are my son, how can you not worry. I think Peiyun's girl is very good. She has been thinking about you since she was a child. You are just a couple. "

Liu Zhao picks eyebrow, "this is the meaning of mother concubine, or father king."

Princess Ning Pei suppressed her anger, "is there a difference?"

Liu Zhao slightly bowed himself and said directly, "Peiyun is not suitable."

Lu Hou himself had a heavy army and a high position. It is the so-called tree attracts the wind, and marrying Pei Yun is bound to attract the attention of people from all walks of life.

Liu Zhao needs to keep a low profile and reduce the sense of existence as much as possible. It is more suitable for his present status to marry a wife who is not very impressive.

Ning Princess Pei's dissatisfaction, "Peiyun where can't match you. Or are you dissatisfied with this princess, so you don't want to marry Pei's daughter? "

"My mother and concubine misunderstood me. My son absolutely didn't mean to look down on Pei's daughter. It's just because Peiyun is not suitable for his son. It doesn't mean anything else

Liu Zhao's tone was cold and he said in a calm voice.

Princess Ning Pei snorted coldly, "don't care how many reasons you have. Your marriage must be solved within one year. Don't forget, you are already twenty, and you have three or five children of your age. That is to say, you have been procrastinating on not getting married

Liu Zhao was not moved, but he said, "I know what the mother and concubine mean. Your son will settle the marriage as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about it."

"You, you are a fool. Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, what does it mean that the princess does not need to worry about. Princess Ben, the bigger you are, the worse you are. "

Princess Ning Pei was so angry that her heart ached.

Liu Zhao laughed, "mother concubine, don't forget that the son is a clan. The young master will worry about his son's marriage. When the first month comes into the palace, my son will meet with the magistrate and ask if he has a suitable girl. When the time comes for the son to choose one directly, can the mother and concubine be satisfied? "

"At the end of the day, you just don't want to marry a girl from the Pei family."

Liu Zhao did not deny, "yes, my son can't marry Pei family girl. If the mother and concubine want to be in laws with the Pei family, she might as well ask her father and Marquis Lu's meaning first. The two of them are afraid that they have not made any plans for their own family. "

Princess Ning Pei frowned. "What's wrong with Pei's family, so much so that you all dislike it?"

Liu Zhao chuckled, "my mother misunderstood me. It's not that the Pei family is bad, but that the Pei family is too good. It's too good for my son to marry. "

Princess Ning's face suddenly changed, her lips opened and closed. At last, there was only a sigh, "you conduct oneself well. The marriage should be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, when your majesty thinks about it, he will direct you to the marriage, and you will not be allowed to go back on your regret. "

"Thank you for reminding me that my son knows the weight. If the mother and concubine have nothing else to do, my son will leave. "

Pei, Princess Ning, waved, "go, go. Now Princess Ben wants to see you, but she has to find a chance. "

Liu Zhao bowed down and left Chunhe hall.

He went straight back to his study, where Zhao was waiting.

"Childe

Liu Zhao waved his hand, indicating that Zhao San didn't have to speak.

He stood by the window and looked at the withered branches outside the window. After a long time, he asked, "Mr. Gu has been sent to prison?"

"Exactly."

Liu Zhao scorned a smile, "empress now is more and more not fastidious."

Zhao San echoed: "after all, the Queen's wife is running out of time. She has to hurry up and remove all obstacles for her royal highness."

"It's a pity that she's in vain. The prince's Royal Highness can't help up the wall with mud. All the officials in the East Palace are selfish and selfish

Liu Zhao was not polite and criticized the east palace for nothing.

Zhao San asked carefully, "what are you going to do?"

Liu Zhao whispered a smile, "that Gu Er girl must be very anxious."

"I don't know."

Liu Zhao made a decision at once, "send her a letter, and my son will offer her an interview."

Eh?

Zhao Sany's face couldn't respond.

I don't understand. I don't understand at all.

"Why do you want to see Miss Gu er?"

Liu Zhao said willfully, "because I want to see her, I want to see her. It's about tomorrow afternoon. I hope she won't disappoint me. "

Zhao San didn't ask much. He bowed down to accept his orders. "My subordinates are obeying. I'm going to make arrangements. "

……

Gu Fu, Zhi Lan Yuan.

Gu Jiu came to the study, ready to practice calligraphy meditation.

If you don't calm down, you can't think calmly.

When she opened the letter, a letter fell.

This is an anonymous letter.

Gu Jiu frowned. After smelling the smell and making sure there was no poison, she tried to open the envelope.

This is an invitation letter, inviting her to meet in the Taoist temple in the city tomorrow afternoon.Signature: gongzizhao.

Is it a childe's edict?

How could it be that gongzizhao would take the initiative to see her.

How could gongzizhao know that she is such a small person? It's amazing.

Gu Jiu's mind is very muddled, there is a feeling that she has ignored any important clues.

She reread the letter several times. It should not be fake.

Who would make such a joke?

"Green plum, green plum..."

Gu Jiuchao shouts outside the study.

Green plum heard the movement and came in.

"The girl called the maid, but I have something to tell you?"

Gu Jiu directly asked, "has anyone entered the study today?"

"No. If you don't want to ask, maybe when the girl is not here, the little maids have come in and cleaned up. "

Gu Jiu said: "you go and ask clearly. Ask them if they have seen anyone come in, and ask if they have seen an unmarked letter in their study

"Girl, is something wrong?"

Qingmei looks at Gu Jiu anxiously.

Gu Jiu said: "it's not a big deal. Don't worry. Ask first

"Yes, my servant."

Green plum out of the study, one by one asked the small servant girls.

After asking for a round, nothing came out.

Green plum anxiously told Gu Jiu, "reply to the girl, the little maids all said that no one has ever been in and out of the study during this period."

Gu Jiu frowns. This letter is too strange.

As if from the sky, fell on her desk.

That childe's edict is a powerful method. Entering Gu's house is like entering and leaving a deserted place.

Gu Jiu pursed his lips, feeling depressed.

At this time, Xiaocui rushed back from the outside.

"Girl, girl..."

"Don't run around, or you'll run into the girl." Green plum stares at Xiaocui.

Xiaocui was embarrassed, so she quickly slowed down and walked into the study in a proper way. "I'd like to report to you, miss. There's something important that I want to report."

"But what's new with the Marquis?" Gu Jiu asked in a hurry.

Suddenly, Wu Cui shook her head and said, "it's for the maid to stay at the back door. The servants didn't respond at that time. After that, the maid secretly went to the back door and tried the key. This key can open the back door. Indeed, the maid did not lie

Xiaocui quickly took out the key and put it on the desk. "This is the key to the back door. You don't have to worry about being found out later

Gu Jiu looks at the key and takes a breath.

This childe ordered such a powerful means that she even considered the problem of her going out. In the end,

's imperial edict was placed in the eyes of Gu Fu, or in such a short time he bought the gatekeeper of Gu Fu.

Either way, it's not so wonderful for Gu Jiu.

Obviously, Gu Fu and Mr. Gu have been watched from the beginning.

Gu Jiu rubs his eyebrows. It seems that the meeting tomorrow afternoon is inevitable.

Qingmei is still asking Xiaocui, "are you sure if this one can open the back door?"

Xiaocui nodded repeatedly.

Qingmei asked, "are you sure that Wu Pozi, who guards the back door, gave it to you personally?"

Xiaocui said, "it's absolutely true. It's really given to me by Wu's mother-in-law. Sister green plum, if you don't believe it, we'll try the key at the back door. "

Green plum bit lip, "OK, I'll go with you to the back door and try this key."

Then, green plum asked Gu Jiu for instructions.

Gu Jiu's face sank like water and said, "go. Try it. But that key must be true. "

"Why is the girl so sure?"

Gu Jiu laughed at himself, "because I'm going to leave the house tomorrow."

"Ah?"

Green plum is unknown.

Gu Jiu waved, "you go to busy first, later."

Gu Jiu's own ideas are chaotic.

She always felt that she had overlooked any important clues, but she could not remember them.

The most difficult thing for her to understand was why gongzizhao took the initiative to see her?

She is just a little-known boudoir girl, she is not a pearl of the capital, everyone knows. How could gongzizhao want to meet her?

You can't know each other before.

Qingmei went to the back door and tried the key herself. Sure enough, she could open the back door.

She couldn't understand why Mrs. Wu would take the initiative to give the key.

At the beginning, she didn't pay for Mrs. Wu. When she gave up, Mrs. Wu took the initiative to give her the key.

What kind of operation is this.

Green plum is very worried, she and Gu Jiu mutter, "Wu Po Tzu won't want to harm the girl. Can it be that other people have bought into Mrs. Wu, and when the girl steals out of the mansion, she will go to her wife to complain? "It is true that other people bought up Wu Pozi, but not to complain, but to facilitate Gu Jiu out of the house.

Gu Jiu can't say that.

She said to green plum: "you don't have to think about it. Wu Po Tzu has no malice. Keep the key, and go out with me tomorrow afternoon. In addition, let Li Chuang inform Er Zhuang to prepare the ox cart. "

"I know. I'm going to see Li Chuang

Green plum went to the door, then turned back and confirmed again, "girl, is this really OK?"

"Don't worry. It doesn't matter."

Gu Jiu has been waiting for news from Hou Fu.

However, the old Duke worked hard for a day, and no good news came.

Things are frozen.

The old Marquis clearly said that it would be extremely disadvantageous to continue the stalemate.

Most afraid of a situation, Mr. Gu was locked in the imperial prison in panic, but his majesty completely forgot him.

By the time your majesty thinks of it, it will be a year, two years, or even three or five years.

At that time, Mr. Gu will be completely destroyed.

This forgotten situation is even more terrible than exile.

Exile, at least know their own situation. With the help of the Marquis, the days of exile may not be difficult. And maybe, one day, there will be an amnesty.

In exile, everything is possible.

Forgotten, that is the real tragedy.

There is a sword hanging on top of my head. I don't know when it will fall.

In this kind of day, people who are not strong enough in mind will be locked up in imperial edict all day long for fear that they will be driven crazy.

The meaning of the old Marquis is is very clear. This matter can not continue to stand still. No matter whether the result is good or bad, it should be solved as soon as possible.

Gu Jiu deeply believes that.

However, the negotiations between the old Marquis and the empress were not smooth.

The empress showed her chariots and horses and refused to give the old Marquis face.

Gu Jiu can only hope to meet with gongzizhao tomorrow.
