Chapter 368 Greetings
Gu Jinzhi didn't move, and the warmth in her heart did not dissipate for a long time.
Zhu Zhongjun let go of her first.
His legs were still a little inconvenient.
The two of them lay down to rest, and the chaos in Gu Jinzhi's heart subsided for a long time. In the darkness, she reached out and held Zhu Zhongjun's hand.
Then she turned over slightly and fell asleep against his side.
She snuggled up to him.
No disgust, very warm and comfortable.
She slept very well and did not wake up until the next day at Maochu.
Zhu Zhongjun also slept soundly.
Gu Jinzhi got up first, washed and dressed up before Zhu Zhongjun woke up.
Qiuyu and Haitang came in to serve Zhu Zhongjun's clothes, and Konoha combed his hair.
Gu Jinzhi sat aside and asked Zhu Zhongjun: "Does the legs hurt? If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to go to the palace. If there is a flaw, the Empress Dowager is even more worried."
The maid Qiuyu lowered her head slightly.
She was still not used to Prince Zhu and Princess talking about the secret question so naturally in front of them. Qiuyu had no unfair intentions, but she had no contribution to the prince and princess. Why should the master trust her so much?
This kind of trust made Qiuyu frightened. If one day in the future, the princess and the prince felt that she was not worthy of this trust, would she be silenced? Because she knew a lot of things...
Qiuyu's hands that brought the hot water to the autumn rain were a little shaking.
The maid Muye did not have such foresight. She was very skilled in putting up the prince's hair and combed it neatly. When she glanced through the bronze mirror, she felt that the prince's face was even better than the princess.
Muye was a little afraid to look at Zhu Zhongjun in the eyes.
Haitang stood aside, looking at Qiuyu and Konoha's expressions without moving.
"I'm fine." Zhu Zhongjun didn't notice the maids at all, and just talked to Gu Jinzhi. "It doesn't take any effort to sit in Kunning Palace, and it should be able to deal with it."
Gu Jinzhi no longer said anything.
The couple had breakfast and went to Gu's house first.
The Gu family's morning meal had just been used up, and Gu Yanzhen, Xuan Ge'er and Song Yanzhao had not gone out.
"...Go into the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager." Gu Jin's words.
Song Pan'er smiled and said, "Then go quickly. If you are not in the city, the Empress Dowager asked me to go in and ask. I said you and the prince went to visit the old man's grave, and the Empress Dowager also praised you for your filial piety. But he was worried in his heart."
Gu Jin's way is.
She and Zhu Zhongjun went out directly from the Gu family and headed towards the imperial city.
The two stopped at Chengtian Gate in the carriage.
After crossing the Imperial Bridge, we arrived at the Meridian Gate.
Go in the Meridian Gate, go directly to the Qianqing Palace Gate, and enter the inner palace.
Zhu Zhongjun couldn't help but slow down.
Gu Jinzhi also slowed down and asked him softly: "It hurts so hard?"
"A little sour." Zhu Zhongjun said. "It's okay, I'll arrive in a few more steps."
Although the wound heals, it is not complete. When walking, the strength of the upper body is pressed on the legs, and the legs begin to feel sore and painful.
Zhu Zhongjun gritted his teeth and endured it all the way into Kunning Palace.
The Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing them coming, the Empress Dowager asked Aunt Cheng to take all the people he served and asked Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi to sit down and talk.
"Have you had a good time living in the countryside for so many days?" The empress dowager asked with a smile at Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun.
"No, Mother. We are going to visit Xiaoqi's grandfather's grave." Zhu Zhongjun said.
The Empress Dowager laughed and did not expose Zhu Zhongjun.
"Is there anything interesting in the countryside?" the queen mother asked again.
Zhu Zhongjun lies all day long, how can he know any interesting things?
He just said the matter of the heavy snow on the house.
"...Xiao Qi asked Aunt Li next door to live at home, and the family did not lose much. The rest of the families had nowhere to settle down. Fortunately, the people in Fujiazhuang were harmonious and helped each other, and they also borrowed houses and money and food.
Helping each other, there were no casualties." Zhu Zhongjun said.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother praised: "It should be like this. Neighbors should help each other."
When Zhu Zhongjun saw that the Empress Dowager liked this kind of topic, he said something more.
Some of them were what he heard from Aunt Li, and some were made up by him.
Gu Jinzhi kept listening with a smile on the side, not interrupting.
Zhu Zhongjun and the Empress Dowager became more and more happy the more they chatted until lunch time.
The Queen Mother left them for lunch.
After lunch, the Empress Dowager asked Gu Jinzhi to help her back to the inner hall and change her clothes.
She wanted to leave Zhu Zhongjun aside and talk to Gu Jinzhi alone.
The Empress Dowager must not know that Zhu Zhongjun was injured. She wanted to chat with Gu Jinzhi alone, because when she left the palace, Zhu Zhongjun claimed that she was impotence and could not do her husband's affairs, which made the Empress Dowager very worried.
Gu Jinzhi promised the Empress Dowager that he would cure Zhu Zhongjun.
The Queen Mother probably asked about this.
Gu Jin's way was to support the empress dowager's hand and enter the inner hall.
The queen mother indeed lowered her voice and asked, "Have the prince's illness been cured?"
Gu Jinzhi said: "It's already...well already."
She pretended to be embarrassed.
Looking at her shy expression, the Queen Mother believed her words, breathed a sigh of relief, gently held Gu Jinzhi's hand, and laughed softly, "That's good, that's good! Go to the village to recuperate for more than a month
, it was not in vain. Was it completely cured?"
She thought Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun went to the village to treat the disease.
Gu Jinzhi did not point out this misunderstanding.
She followed the Queen Mother's words and said, "It has been cured." Then, she felt that this was not strong enough and changed her taste, "My mother, are you still worried about my medical skills?"
The queen mother smiled.
Gu Jinzhi's medical skills are convincing by anything.
When he came out of the inner hall, the Queen Mother was even happier.
She didn't even take a break from the afternoon and continued to talk to Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi.
It was not until the emperor came to pay his respects and came to pay his respects that they interrupted their topic.
They were talking and laughing, and the emperor heard it at the door, and couldn't help but smile. When he came in, he asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi hurriedly stood up and saluted him.
The emperor asked them both to get up.
He asked again: "Why do you say that you like this? Let me tell you?"
Gu Jinzhi didn't speak.
Zhu Zhongjun replied: "Tell me interesting things about the countryside. Xiaoqi and I went to the countryside to visit Mr. Gu's grave. Xiaoqi's cousin and Mr. Lin Yi lived in the countryside. Mr. Lin had good medical skills. Xiaoqi asked him for teaching, but he was delayed.
After a few days, it was a blizzard, so I was only back yesterday... I heard about the countryside, so I dare not disturb the holy listening..."
"There is no such priority." The emperor said, "I like the common people in the countryside."
Zhu Zhongjun had no choice but to make up the story of making the empress dowager laugh, and told it to the emperor.
It's all about trivial matters in the countryside, and there's no fun at all.
It was only when the empress dowager was happy that the empress dowager laughed. It was impossible for Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun not to laugh.
The emperor mistakenly thought there was something interesting.
After Zhu Zhongjun finished speaking, the emperor smiled with emotion.
Seeing that it was getting late, the Empress Dowager said to Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi: "Go back early. On New Year's Eve morning, the Ai family will send someone to pick you up."
The princes in the capital all have to enter the palace on New Year's Eve, leave the palace on the fourth day of the day, and accompany the queen mother and the emperor to celebrate the New Year.
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun said that they were.
The two went out.
At the entrance of Ganqing Gate, I actually met Tan You on duty.
He followed Zhen Mo.
Zhen Mo saw Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun, his eyes dodged.
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun stopped at the same time.
"Mr. Tan..." Zhu Zhongjun walked to Tan You and greeted him with a smile, "Is Mr. Tan on duty today?"
Tan You half-kneeled to Gu Jin's journey and said yes.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Zhongjun smiled.
Gu Jinzhi also smiled and looked at them.
Her eyes only turned on Tan You, but she didn't look at Zhen Mo.
Zhen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
After Zhu Zhongjun finished speaking, Gu Jinzhi also spoke and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Tan."
Tan You was slightly stunned.
When Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun left the Ganqing Sect, Tan You's face suddenly looked ugly.
He looked at Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun's back as he left, and did not retract his gaze for a long time. He was thinking about something, his gaze was dull and cruel.
Zhen Mo stepped forward a few steps beside Tan You, and his voice was very low: "Sir. This is the palace, with many ears and eyes..."
Tan You was shocked and quickly withdrew his gaze.
He calmed down and stood up straight.
When the time of You changed, Tan You took Zhen Mo out of the palace. He frowned and asked Zhen Mo: "Just now, what do King Luyang and that woman mean?"
Zhen Mo's heart suddenly became tight.
When Gu Jinzhi visited Zhen Mo's father, Tan You didn't know. Because that day, Tan You happened to be assassinated, he had been investigating who the assassin was for a long time and had no time to look around.
The assassin has not been found yet.
Tan You thought about all the people who had a grudge against him in Jing.
However, the Tan family offended too many people. Whether it is meritorious and nobles or civil officials and generals, they all hate the Tan family to the core. But when they openly assassinated, Tan You first thought of the people from the Zhang family.
He had seen the bodies of those assassins.
The corpses were tall and stout, but no one knew them. After half a month of investigation, Tan You suddenly thought, were those assassins Mongolian raiders?
Unfortunately, the assassins were buried by him, and their faces were beyond recognition. It was impossible to identify them again.
Zhang Daokun from the Zhang family stayed in the west camp for three years.
Now that Zhang Daokun is in prison, who else in the Zhang family is acting behind the scenes and wants to punish Tan You to death?
This incident made him lose the energy to think about Gu Jinzhi anymore. He didn't even have time to inquire about Gu Jinzhi's whereabouts, and he didn't know that Gu Jinzhi had been to Zhenmo's family.
He had to put Zhang Daokun to death with all his might.
He didn't ask, and Zhen Mo didn't want to talk. Zhen Mo felt that the longer he delayed, the more he could lie and perfunctory it.
"...When Commander Xu was on duty, the King of Luyang and the Princess would also say thank you for your hard work when they saw it." Zhen Mo said.
Tan You frowned even more.
Can this be the same?
Xu Qin was the emperor's confidant. It is natural for the King of Luyang and the Princess to get close to him and please him.
But why do they want to please Tan You?
Even, Gu Jinzhi might know that Tan You kidnapped her that day...
"Did she remember something?" Tan You said suddenly, his eyes instantly ruthlessly.
"How could it be?" Zhen Mo said immediately, his voice extremely firm, "Sir, I gave her some medicine. Even if she woke up, she was struggling in a daze, half-dream and half-awake. At that time, she was able to make a living. The chain was so loud that if she woke up, she should beg for mercy in panic. She just kept moving, talking nonsense, saying Rongnan and calling brother, how could she remember what she would remember..."
Speaking of this, Zhen Mo felt a little chill in his heart again.
He thought of Gu Jinzhi's voice calling him brother.
At that time, Zhen Mo thought she was shouting in a half-dream and half-awake, and her voice was ambiguous and speechless.
It was not until Gu Jinzhi visited the Zhen family that Zhen Mo realized that she was really awake at that time...
In that case, her eyes were covered, and she first tried to hold the iron chains on her hands and feet to see if she could escape. After the test, she was sure that she could not break free. She was not confused at all, but began to disguise.
Even Tan You believed that she was indeed half-dream and half-awake at that time.
