The news that Gu Zhi hit a wall and died in prison quickly reached the ears of the previous court, Gu Hong.

Tang Qingshan, the head of the prison, was summoned into the inner palace to answer the question.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhan Wang and Han Canjun were ordered to go to prison to pick up the youngest son into Jinghua Temple yesterday. They passed by the prison of the common man Gu Zhi, and because they heard the common man Gu Zhi crying for grievances in the prison, they went forward to comfort the few Sentence. He also asked the subordinate officials to add more charcoal to the common man Gu Zhi. Unexpectedly, after His Royal Highness King Zhan and Han Canjun left, the common man Gu Zhi shouted rebellious words in his mouth, as if he was crazy, and finally hit the wall and died .”

"What rebellious words did he say?" Gu Hong held the armrest of the seat with his hands, his face gloomy.There is no father in the world who is happy when his own son dies.

"Common man Gu Zhi shouted, if I die His Highness Zhanwang, I will not be able to clean up. If I die, Your Majesty will regret it for the rest of my life. Your Majesty left him to pass the New Year's Eve because of guilt. He will never let His Majesty has his wish..."

"Enough!" Gu Hong roared, and waved Tang Qingshan to signal that he didn't need to say any more.Tang Qingshan's harsh words were like a gong exploding in his ears, shattering the little pity he had just had for his son.

Gu Hong did not expect that his extremely stupid son would not want to make him feel better in the end.He would use such a thing as suicide to trap him in an unkind and unrighteous situation.Gu Hong was extremely angry and annoyed.He didn't even know how to vent it, who to blame.

"Cui Shang, you go to deliver the decree. Cut the body of that rebellious son into two parts and bury it separately. I want him to die without a whole body!" Gu Hong angrily smashed the teacup in his hand, and issued an extremely cruel order. will.

The old eunuch Cui Shang accepted the order silently and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I would like to ask Your Majesty." Tang Qingshan leaned over and said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gu Hong narrowed his eyes and rubbed his painful temples.

"After the common man Gu Zhi died, Mrs. Shen lost her mind in the prison. May I ask what should I do with it?" Tang Qingshan whispered, the king's fury, a thin layer of sweat had already sprouted on his forehead.

"Since she is crazy, then don't worry about her, just put her in the street and let her fend for herself."

In the middle of winter, a deranged female prisoner was placed on the street.

More cruel than immediate execution.

When Gu Zhi died, there were no funeral ceremonies to express his condolences, only a bamboo mat wrapped around two halves of his body.

One was buried in the east of the city, and the other was buried in the north of the city.

When Gu Xiu got the news, he was eating roast venison at Gu You's Prince Ning's mansion.Princess Qingzhao was also there, choosing the hairpins for the New Year's Eve palace banquet with Princess Ning Xu Jingrou.

After the messenger boy finished speaking, only Gu You said lightly, "Got it."

None of the rest present expressed their views.

Even Princess Qingzhao didn't ask any more questions.

Such indifference stunned Han Mochu who was drinking at the same banquet.He originally thought that this news would bring the family banquet to a hasty end.

Unexpectedly, the three of Gu Xiu ate, drank and talked as usual as if nothing had happened.Before leaving, Gu Xiu and Gu Jin each subcontracted a large package of preserved venison.

On the way back, Han Mochu couldn't help asking Gu Xiu: "Your Highness, I don't understand. Gu Zhi has ended up like this, why don't you, His Highness King Ning, and His Highness the Princess look sad?"

"Actually, there's no reason." Gu Xiu held the reins of the horse and stared forward: "Gu Zhi, the emperor, was not close to all of us. He didn't think about everything he did these years." After the consequences, he didn't even think about any of us. Just like the black bear went crazy in front of the palace that year, he put all of us in danger. And if he didn't handle it properly, he would provoke a war, but he didn't care. Even King Xie Gu Yan would be filled with righteous indignation after knowing that his elder sister was humiliated in Monan, but he wrote a letter at that time to ask his father to bury Ari Silan in a grand way to show his kindness. He seems to be separated from us by a barrier from birth. There is no brotherhood here."

"No wonder, Your Highness had such an expression when he saw Gu Zhi's corpse that day." Han Mochu raised his lips and smiled, "I thought it was because Your Highness felt that my hand was too abrupt."

"The night is long and has many dreams. If he lives one more day, the emperor will have a chance to soften his heart one day, and you and I will be in danger one day." Gu Xiu turned his head and said: "By the way, have you checked it? Shen is really crazy. gone."

"Your Highness, don't worry, Mrs. Shen is really crazy." Han Mochu replied with a smile: "It's often like he is better at making such medicines than medicines for saving lives."

Gu Xiu was riding on the horse, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, frowned and said: "So, isn't Mrs. Chen...???"

"Yes, Your Highness is right." Han Mochu put his knees lightly on the horse's belly, "Your Highness, let's go, or Aunt Wu will start nagging again later."

It was already dusk when Gu Xiu and Han Mochu returned.Still did not escape Aunt Wu's continuous nagging.

It was not late at night, and neither of them felt sleepy.

He simply turned off the lights, and sat down on Gu Xiu's upper room.Play blindfold chess with eyes closed.

Gu Xiu's chess was only forced into the game by Han Mochu when he was tortured and recuperated last time. The blind chess was even worse, so he lost five games in a row.

"That's all, I won't be here anymore." Gu Xiu pinched his sore eyelids: "I'm sleepy."

"Your Highness is not sleepy, but can't afford to lose." Han Mochu laughed.

"You and I didn't explain how to win or lose. Why can't I afford to lose?"

"Your Highness, do you know why you keep losing?" Han Mochu asked rhetorically instead of answering.

"You said, why?"

"Because the chess game is like a court game, and His Highness is in it, if the authorities are lost, they will naturally lose."

"If it's a game of chess, aren't you also in it?"

"Your Highness is wrong again. The officials from the previous court are not among them, because the ministers are the ones in charge."

In the darkness, Gu Xiu couldn't see Han Mochu's eyebrows clearly, but he could vaguely feel the man's gentle smile.

*****

A raging chaos always has a seemingly irrelevant beginning.

The second prince, Gu Zhi, did not die well, and Gu Zhi's adoptive mother, Concubine Xian, was also implicated due to poor upbringing and was demoted to a nobleman.Even the original palace and rewards were taken back, and the two maids moved alone to live in the remote Jinfang Pavilion.

Concubine Li Jin has always been soft-hearted, although she didn't like the virtuous concubine Chang who was always pretending to be virtuous when she was in the prince's mansion these years.

But today, Chang's family is in trouble, and his son died again.She was moved with compassion, and secretly sealed some money for Biyun to hand over to Lan Pei, the eldest maid next to Concubine Xian.

Lan Pei is not a servant who can share troubles with the master's family. When she saw Bi Yun looking for her, she immediately had the idea of ​​hugging Concubine Li's thigh.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou harem, all the masters seem to have a bright future, but they are actually bitter gourds.

Only the Li Fei Jin family is truly decent.

"Sister Biyun, I know you are a kind person. Just tell your master, let me go to Bihua Palace, I really can't stand this place." Lan Pei shook Biyun's arm, A pair of almond eyes were squeezed into a slit, and he pleaded, "Please, sister Biyun, please."

Biyun was in trouble for a while, so he could only decline and said: "I can't tell you that. But our empress has always disliked using slaves from other families. If you really want to come, why don't you go to Yuxiu Palace and ask your concubine empress. The imperial concubine is in charge of the scheduling of the palace, so if you beg her to let her transfer you here, won't that be enough?"

Lan Pei thought for a while, and felt that Biyun's words of escape were not unreasonable.

So he really found an opportunity, took the body he had saved in the palace for many years, bribed Aunt Fuzhen, the head of Concubine Han's palace, and begged in front of the concubine with a sad face.

"My concubine, please do me a favor and let the servants leave there." Lan Pei knelt on Concubine Han's footstool, clasped her hands together, and bowed like a bodhisattva.

Concubine Han, the younger sister of Prime Minister Han Ming.

When the king ascended the throne, he conferred the concubine Hua.Since Queen Meng left the palace to practice, she became a concubine and managed the palace affairs for the king for more than ten years.For more than ten years, all matters in the palace, big and small, have been decided by her.

There are so many court ladies who have bought a way to get ahead like this and have come to her over the years.

"Okay, you don't have to be so pitiful." Concubine Han held the moon in her hand and rolled it slowly on her side cheek: "Tell me, where do you want to go after leaving Jinfang Pavilion?"

"Your maidservant has made up her mind, this servant girl wants to go to Empress Li in Bihua Palace!" Lan Pei thought that she had a promising future, and her face was full of surprise and joy.

"Concubine Li?" Concubine Han obviously stopped pressing her face, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Why do you want to go there?"

"Back to Concubine Li, who in this palace does not know that Concubine Li is the happiest concubine? If the servants can follow Concubine Li, they will have a secure life for the rest of their lives." All Lan Pei's mind was on being in Concubine Li's palace How could he have thought that Concubine Li Jin is the thorn in the side of Concubine Han who cannot get rid of.

Since this summer, Concubine Han has been neglected by the king, and her elder brother Han Ming's position in the previous dynasty is precarious.His son has also been impeached repeatedly, and he is no longer allowed to be reused in the government.

Looking at Concubine Li again, the mother's family is well off, not to mention.There are two princes, Gu Xiu and Gu You, under her knees.

In the previous dynasty, King Ning Gu You held the title of Head of the Six Departments. Although he was not very up-to-date, Shang Shusheng was polite to everyone.Not to mention the war king Gu Xiu, who became a prince at a young age, a first-rank general appointed by the king himself.The military officers of the dynasty and millions of heroes are all under his command, and no one can easily shake that solid military exploits.

The most commendable thing is that these two princes are not only good friends, but also extremely filial.Just like the grand birthday banquet a few days ago, the wives of nobles and nobles who held it all over Bianjing were extremely jealous.

Recalling that when she was in the Prince's Mansion in the old days, Concubine Li was just a little fairy from the Southern Barbarians.No one in Manfu could look down on that lavish, weeping face.The king treated her only mediocrely. He never expected that this little southern barbarian would step on her face at this age.

The breath she couldn't swallow or exhale had been held in her chest for a long time.

This unlucky Lampei dared to praise Concubine Li so much in front of her.

Concubine Han's anger rushed to the top of her head in an instant, and she raised her hand and slapped Lan Pei on the face: "Bitch! Even you use words to disgust me! Even you come to abuse me!"

Na Lanpei was accidentally slapped on the face by Concubine Han, and due to the impact of inertia, her head went straight to the corner of the table beside her.

There was a hollow muffled sound.

The fragile temple hit the sharp corner of the table, and the blood mixed with the brain burst out directly.Lampe's body twitched for a moment, then stopped moving again.

Han Shi who came back to her senses was completely dumbfounded, she fell down and sat on the ground tremblingly: "Fu...Fuzhen...you go and see what's wrong with her?"

Fu Zhen, who was serving close to her, was also dumbfounded. She carefully checked Lan Pei's breath, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, I'm out of breath."

"Then...then what should I do?" Han shivered and supported his body, looking at Lan Pei's face that was dying, his blood was cold all over his body.

Lan Pei is not those little maids in the palace who don't have names and surnames. She is the big maid who shows up around Chen.

Han's miss, this life will make her situation even more difficult after losing her Sacred Heart, and it will also implicate her son and elder brother who are also in a difficult situation.

Her slap was like a predestined catastrophe, just like that, it happened in a blink of an eye, without even a single sign.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, there are only you and this servant here. This servant will go and tell Eunuch Cui, who is beside His Majesty, that Lampe died when he knocked on the corner of the table accidentally when he came to your palace to deliver something." Fu Zhen helped Rubbing Han's shoulders, reassuring her to calm down.

"This...can it be done?" Han's hands and feet were cold, and he grabbed Fuzhen like a life-saving straw: "Really, can it be done?"

"Whether it's successful or not, the empress can't be charged with the crime." Fuzhen gritted her teeth and said with determination: "Empress, don't worry, there are servants and servants around."
