When Ye Diemeng heard the word bride, she suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Zhisu very warily, with a dark look in her eyes: "Fourth young master, are you serious?"

Gu Zhisu blinked, turned his head with a smile and asked, "I don't know which sentence my aunt asked?"

Seeing his indifferent expression, Ye Diemeng guessed what he knew, and suddenly became nervous, "It's about the bride!"

Gu Zhisu looked at her with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I'm afraid she had already expected it, so why bother to ask Zhisu? One of the reasons why my father suppressed the news of my mother's death may be for the sake of the new crown prince. To be affected by Xin's death, the second is naturally waiting for the newly appointed Madam Gu to have a good relationship with the royal family, so that she can be married by the emperor smoothly."

When Gu Zhisu said this, it was almost equivalent to telling Ye Diemeng that Gu Wenmian definitely never had the intention to straighten her up.

Hearing him say these words, Ye Diemeng's face paled instantly even though he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, looked at Gu Zhisu with complicated eyes, pursed his lips and said word by word: "Forget it, the silver box was taken away by Mrs. Xin, and has been hidden by Mrs. Mrs. Xin. Now that Mrs. Xin is dead, the concubine and the fourth young master don't know where the silver box went."

Now that she has said this, she will not pursue the silver box and its contents in the future.

When Gu Zhisu heard what she said, the smile on his lips deepened, and he simply accepted the kindness: "What my aunt said is true."

Since she was sure that she would not ascend to the position of Mistress, Ye Diemeng seemed to know about it long ago, as if she still had the confidence to take care of herself, her inner guard became a little deeper, but on the surface her expression became kind, and she whispered to her with a smile. The young man in front of him said: "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't bring any gifts with me. Speaking of which, the last time the fourth young master was elected, I didn't come to congratulate him. Seeing that she had got the news and knew that the mistress would not be by herself, Gu Zhisu's eyes began to wander, as if he wanted to leave the house, but he didn't stop him, so he turned slightly sideways and replied in a low voice: "Zhisu is a junior. Dare to ask for my aunt's belongings, my aunt is too polite."

The two of them had a few polite words in the room, and spent about a cup of tea time. Gu Zhisu went out with a smile and watched Ye Diemeng go away. Ye Diemeng of Rongliyuan also suddenly darkened her face. She came here this time to talk about Gu Zhiming and ask Gu Zhisu to help her. Who knew that because of the bride's affairs, she was angry for a while. Forget it, and if she is not the mistress, her son is just a bastard, if he really angers Gu Zhisu, with his methods, he will not let Gu Zhiming go easily, so there is no need to take care of him.

Thinking of this, her heart was full of anger, and there was a lot of panic in her heart. She made up her mind that after returning home, she must call her son here, talk carefully, and then go to see Gu Wenmian to test his thoughts , the steps became faster and faster, and the two servant girls behind her saw her faster and faster steps, and they didn't care to ask anything, so they hurriedly raised their steps to keep up with her.

The inner garden of the imperial palace, inside the prince's residence.

A sharp-looking eunuch in green was standing on the steps boredly, holding a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face. Hearing footsteps behind him, he slowly turned around and looked at the Stepping out from the inside, slowly emerging from the darkness, a man with handsome eyebrows and eyes drawn like ink, and a pair of dark blue eyes.

The hem of the black dragon-patterned clothes fell to the ground without a sound. From the place where he half-kneeled, there was a deep darkness. The eunuch hurriedly finished announcing the decree, and subconsciously shivered, closed the decree, and handed it to the person kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness Fifth, accept the order."

"My son accepts the decree, long live long live long live."

Xin Yuanan lowered his eyes, his expression was fuzzy, he raised his hand to receive the imperial edict, straightened up and exhaled, the eunuch standing in front of him leaned a little towards him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't want to issue an edict so early, However, His Highness the Crown Prince has been begging, His Majesty was persuaded by His Highness, and then sent His Highness Fifth to the southern border, I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince has some plans, His Highness should take care of himself."

"Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law."

Xin Yuanan raised his head slowly, with a smile on his lips, and sent a bulging purse with his hand.

There is no one in the palace who is not greedy for money. Seeing the purse full of silver, the eunuch in green looked even more gentle, with a hint of flattery: "Your Highness the Fifth Highness is so polite, I am ashamed to accept it."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

When the eunuch who declared the decree walked away, Xin Yuanan's eyes dimmed, he turned around suddenly, and strode towards the courtyard. Just as he reached the door of the bedroom, he heard a voice behind him.

"I have seen the Lord."

Xin Yuan'an breathed a sigh of relief, and without looking back, he clenched the imperial decree in his hand, and ordered in a low voice: "Follow the order and split up, report once every three days in the palace, if there is something to do with the Gu family in Mingdu, there can be no delay in reporting once a day .”

Hearing the words, the people behind him in the dark of the sun and the moon immediately lowered their bodies and cupped their hands in response: "I will obey the Lord's order!"

Three days later, the fifth prince, Xin Yuan'an, left the city of Mingdu without a sound.

It was sunny during the day, but it started to rain in the evening. The continuous rain hit and flowed along the cracks in the bluestone. The leaves in the courtyard were hit by the rain, and the sound of crackling was continuous. Gu Zhisu leaned against the window Not far away, looking outside with a calm expression, fingers landed on the table, on the white jade pear blossoms in full bloom.

The news of Xin's death was concealed for half a month. Gu Zhisu had no way of knowing how Gu Wenmian preserved Xin's body, but the news of his death broke out half a month later. When the young man went to worship, he could see that Xin was lying in the coffin. The bloody smell has completely faded away, and there is no scent left. The veil covers the terrifying face, but nothing can be seen.

When the emperor heard about the death of Xin's illness, he gave some pensions. The empress also gave some things for the sake of the eldest princess and the crown prince. Unfortunately, because of the death of the crown prince, the second house and the eldest house were all vacant. One of the three bedrooms made the speechless Sanfang even more embarrassing in the Gu family.

As soon as the news of Xin's death came out, the maids in the Linjiang courtyard were dismissed, and they had been serving the eldest maid of Xin's family. She was unwilling to leave the courtyard, and then secretly climbed into Gu Wenmian's bed. Aunt Ye was so annoyed that Gu Zhiming gritted his teeth with hatred. Jun didn't know what to do behind closed doors, but Gu Zhisu was the calmest. After hearing the news, he specially visited Aunt Qiu. The two met by chance in the garden , After talking for a while, they separated and went back to the courtyard.

Aunt Qiu was born as a dowry maid, and she has known many maids in the mansion for a long time. After becoming a concubine, many maids wanted to be with her. Scheming, Aunt Ye saw this in her heart, and finally couldn't help feeling depressed, and when Gu Wenmian came to see her, she couldn't help but say a few words, Gu Wenmian immediately changed his face, turned around and went to Aunt Qiu, Aunt Qiu After keeping him for half a month, Aunt Qiu had good news before Xin's January Ming Festival.

"The government doctor came to see it today, and they said it was a happy pulse."

Gu Zhisu was looking at the begonia that had just been moved from the greenhouse in front of him. Hearing this, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, he raised his hand and cut off the last branch, carefully inspected it and inserted it into the porcelain vase: "The old master died before he died. In January, she is already within the Gu family, and she can run rampant by virtue of her pregnancy, so I really can't underestimate her."

"Aunt Qiu is like this now, because she relied on the help of the young master back then." Hu Qin'er followed closely behind him, carefully protecting the bottle, thinking of Aunt Ye's current appearance, and Qiu Fu's high-spirited Looking worried, she asked in a low voice, "But she is pregnant, will she..."

Gu Zhisu cut another branch, which looked a bit longer than the one just now. He lowered his head and looked at it for a moment before inserting it into the bottle again: "As long as she becomes my aunt smoothly, my goal will be achieved. If she After dealing with the bride, I naturally think of her affection, and I can keep her baby safe. If she ignores the previous agreement and turns her head to deal with me, I will still protect her child, but if Auntie Ye makes a move, I can temporarily If you don't want to confront her, you have to stop."

Hu Qin'er listened to his words with certainty, obviously she had expected that Qiu Fu might not keep her word, so she felt relieved and held the bottle to see that he didn't cut the flowers, but carefully trimmed the twigs: "What the young master said is .”

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year in a blink of an eye.

Aunt Qiu has been pregnant for five months. Although because of the child in her womb, she is very popular in the mansion, but Aunt Qiu has never offended Gu Zhisu's Rongliyuan. Seeing her honesty, Gu Zhisu reciprocated. The two often meet "unintentionally", and even after a few words of conversation, they have to retreat from the maid. Ye Diemeng has always wanted to harm Aunt Qiu, but has never found a chance. .

The battle between the concubines in the back house of Gu's mansion has not stopped for about half a year, until the news came from the palace a few days ago that the concubine personally gave a marriage to King Yi, and the object of the marriage was the eldest daughter of the Murong family of Langya. It was the one who had a private meeting with Gu Wenmian when Xin Shi was alive.

Gu Zhisu had already guessed the trick, and didn't take this matter to heart. Aunt Qiu, who was pregnant, didn't respond, as if she didn't have the slightest curiosity or jealousy towards the mistress who was about to marry Gu's. It was the look of eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha, but it was Aunt Ye who had been a concubine for many years. After hearing the news, she dropped several glasses in a row.
