The reborn prince is hard to raise

Gu Mingheng was taken aback by his actions, and blurted out, "A-Ning?" He knelt down and hugged him, patted his back with one hand, and the long hem of his clothes fell down, unable to cover his trembling hands due to panic .

After dozens of sounds, Lu Chengning covered his ears and raised his eyes to meet Gu Mingheng's.His eyes were full of pain, as if he was suffering extremely unbearable torture.

Gu Mingheng hugged him into his arms, warned himself not to panic, and comforted him repeatedly, "Ah Ning is not afraid, Ah Heng is here... Ah Heng is beside Ah Ning..."

Lu Chengning leaned on his shoulder, shaking his head vigorously all the time, as if he had a headache that he couldn't vent, even his legs began to twitch slightly.

He kept staring closely at Gu Mingheng's eyes, his eyes were like black swirls, lifeless.

Gu Mingheng only felt that there was a huge panic covering his heart. He supported Lu Chengning's head with his hands, and tried to stabilize his voice, "Does Ah Ning have a headache? Or did you hear something? Ah Ning looked at Ah Heng... ..."

Lu Chengning kept shaking his head, subconsciously struggling vigorously, completely unable to understand the meaning of Gu Mingheng's words.He just felt that his whole head was going to explode, and the sharp voice in his ear was like a knife grinding a stone, which made him very uncomfortable.

Gu Mingheng didn't know what to do for a while, but suddenly remembered something, and stroked Lu Chengning's back with one hand, his voice trembling unconsciously, "The "Thousand Characters" written by Ah Ning is very good, Ah Heng likes it very much, Aning's "Thousand Characters" is very well written..."

Just repeating a sentence like this, gradually, Lu Chengning's body stopped shaking, his dark eyes looked at Gu Mingheng's lips, trying to distinguish what he said.

"Thousand...word..." He was like a babbling child, imitating Gu Mingheng's lip shape, with a dazed expression, "Thousand...word...wen, Ah Ning..."

"Well, Ah Ning wrote a thousand-character essay, Ah Ning wrote it very well, and Ah Heng liked it very much..." Gu Mingheng said, tears poured down like heavy rain, he watched Lu Chengning staring at himself, I just felt that my throat was choked up, and my breathing seemed to be suffocating, "Thousand Characters, Ah Heng likes it very much..."

"Thousand-Character Essay... Ah Heng likes it..." Lu Chengning gradually loosened his hands covering his ears, he tilted his head and looked at Gu Mingheng, but his gaze seemed to fall into the void, and he muttered word by word, " The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric. The sun and the moon are in full bloom, and the celestial constellations are scattered... The clouds make rain, and the dew turns into frost. Gold produces Lishui, and jade comes out of Kungang..." With his back on his back, he gradually smiled, and his eyes changed look.

The moment he saw him laughing, Gu Mingheng fell to the ground. He thought that Ah Ning would never hear him speak again, and never wanted to hear himself speak again.At this moment, his whole body lost strength, and he felt that he was about to collapse.

"A-Ning..." Gu Mingheng felt that every word he uttered seemed to hit his heart, and his voice became hoarse, "The sword is called Juque, and the pearl is called night light. Guozhen Li Nai, The vegetables are heavy mustard ginger. The sea is salty and the river is light, the scales hide and the feathers fly..."

He recited "Thousand Characters" together with Lu Chengning, just like when he was teaching him on weekdays, tears streaming down his cheeks, dripping on his clothes, leaving deep water marks.

Lu Chengning's voice of reciting gradually stopped. He watched the tears fall from Gu Mingheng's eyes drop by drop, let go of his hands from his ears, and slowly stretched them out in front of Gu Mingheng, and stretched out his fingers to gently touch the tears. , as if feeling the coolness on his fingertips, he whispered, "Ah Heng, be good, Ah Heng will not cry."

His voice is pure as sunlight.

Gu Mingheng raised his hand to wipe away the tears, and smiled reluctantly, "Ah Heng didn't cry..." This was what he said to comfort him in the past, Ah Ning is good, Ah Ning is not in pain.

"Ah Heng is crying." Lu Chengning said stubbornly, and repeated again, "Ah Heng is good, Ah Heng is not crying, Ah Ning is here..." He kept staring at Gu Mingheng, repeating these words, but his eyes were inexplicable The ground turned red.

After covering Lu Chengning with a quilt, Gu Mingheng got up and opened the door and walked out. He stood on the porch and looked at the palaces and palaces in the distance, his eyes were indescribably cold.

"How about the clues you have now?"

"We can't find the mastermind yet, but we can already prove that Nanny Wu was instigated by others to put medicine in His Highness's diet for many years." Ah Zheng instantly understood what Gu Mingheng meant. He looked at Gu Mingheng's somewhat messy robe and looked at the sleeping hall In the direction of the net, he said hesitantly, "My lord, will it be faster to close the net at this time?"

If you wait for a while, maybe you can find the clues of the person behind you.

"We can't wait any longer." Gu Mingheng said, "We must let that person have doubts about the prince's strike again, so as to buy time." The sweeping wind rolled up the corners of his clothes, as if he was about to climb into the sky.

He said to Ah Yu who was on the side, "You take my brand and go directly to His Majesty, and say that I found the person who poisoned the prince. You can decide what to say." Then he ordered Ah Zheng, "You take People just keep an eye on Madam Wu, and when His Majesty arrives, you will bring her here."

He stopped talking, turned around and went into the hall to take care of the unconscious Lu Chengning.

Azheng and Ayu bowed their heads silently to salute, and then went to work separately.

The wind of spring lingered on the corridor outside the main hall of the East Palace, and there was a dull sound of the wind. The palace guards in white scale armor stood silently with spears, their expressions under the helmets were blurred.The bright and yellow guard of honor belonging to the emperor stopped at the gate of the palace, and the dragon flag fluttered, which was very solemn for a while.

Lu Zezhang looked at Gu Mingheng, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, with inquiring eyes, "You said you found the murderer who has been murdering Chengning for so many years?" His tone was depressing and casual, but his eyes were full of oppression He looked at Gu Mingheng intently.

"Father, my son is sure that the root cause of His Highness's delay in getting better for so many years is this." Gu Mingheng said calmly, his eyes fell on the carpet in front of him, his back was straight and calm.

"Tell me, what's going on." Lu Zezhang held up a cup of tea, wearing an emerald finger ring on his hand, and the bright yellow dragon robe seemed to reflect light.

"After entering the palace, I found out that His Highness is actually very intelligent." Gu Mingheng said with great certainty.

"Oh?" Lu Zezhang asked indifferently, "Chengning has lived in the East Palace for nearly ten years, why no one came to report? And you have not been in the palace for a year, and you dare to make such a judgment?" He was not excited, but It is doubtful.

Gu Mingheng sneered in his heart. Sure enough, he was right in not overestimating the emperor's "love" for Lu Chengning. If he didn't have strong witnesses to prove it, the emperor would definitely walk away, right?Maybe he will also convict himself of his "absurd remarks."

Thinking of this, Gu Mingheng's eyes darkened. It was hard to understand why the emperor would defend Lu Chengning's position as the crown prince. He obviously had no intention of pampering him, and he didn't treat the queen with the same kindness and love as he showed in front of outsiders. Then, the emperor What does such perseverance mean?Could it be for the purpose of flattering and killing Lu Chengning, or some other reason?

"Your servant concludes." Gu Mingheng said respectfully, "The person who did such a rebellious thing is the crown prince's wet nurse, Mrs. Wu." After finishing speaking, he did not speak again.

Lu Zezhang paused the hand holding the cup lid. He looked at Gu Mingheng with a smile in his eyes, but he was more wary.Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Gu Mingheng would be able to find out these things in such a short period of time.These days, I directly cut off his contact with the outside of the palace and the Gu family, but I didn't expect him to do this.

Kasyapa, your eyes still amaze me.

"Evidence." Lu Zezhang continued to sip his tea, meaning unclear.

Gu Mingheng paused for a moment, and then said to Jiang Yu, the chief manager who was waiting by the side, "Please go and bring over Madam Wu, as well as her righteous daughter, A Ruo." Jiang Yu responded, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the hall .

He knew that the prince fell ill after noon, but the princess did not ask the imperial doctor to see her, but ordered someone to visit the emperor directly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.Now it seems that the Crown Princess is determined to clean up the East Palace.

Thinking about the pace under the feet is faster.

For a while, the atmosphere in the main hall was a little silent.Gu Mingheng knelt straight, and Lu Zezhang didn't give him a seat. At this time, Jiang Yu who came back in a hurry stood behind Gu Mingheng and said, "Your Majesty, the queen's phoenix is ​​coming soon." After speaking, he stepped aside.

Lu Zezhang nodded when he heard the words, and then carefully looked at Gu Mingheng's expression, and found that his brows and eyes were not moving.

Does this mean that the queen is the mastermind, or that the city is too deep to reveal anything?There was a smile on the corner of Lu Zezhang's mouth, this Gu Mingheng was really funny, he only called out after a while.

As soon as the queen sat on the main seat, Nanny Wu and the maid A Ruo were brought into the hall.Seeing the presence of the emperor and empress, Ah Ruo's face turned pale instantly, and his legs trembled a little.She glanced at Gu Mingheng who was standing aside, and bit her lip.

"Ming Heng, tell me." Xu Qiwu looked at Nanny Wu who was kneeling on the ground with a calm expression, but he was very disappointed in his heart, it was really useless!To be caught by an uncrowned child!

At this moment, Lu Zezhang stretched out his hand suddenly and placed it on the back of her hand with gentle movements.

Xu Qiwu tilted his head slightly and smiled at Lu Zezhang. He seemed a little embarrassed, and took his hand away.Satisfied with her reaction, Lu Zezhang patted the back of her hand.

"Since His Highness was young, Madam Wu has mixed medicine into His Highness's food, and has been burning orchid crane incense in the East Palace. The combination of the two will cause fatigue, energy decline, and confusion. It even has the effect of mania. And the tonic medicine that His Highness has been taking all year round has also been secretly replaced by Wu."

He paused for a while, "A Ruo, Wu's adoptive daughter, and A Feng from the dining room can all testify. My son still has cakes mixed with medicine, and the residue of medicine can prove it."

Hearing Gu Mingheng point out A Ruo's name, Madam Wu suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at A Ruo who was kneeling beside her, with a hideous look on her face.If he hadn't been pressed down by the palace attendant, he might have rushed over.When Ah Ruo saw her expression, her eyes turned red with fright, and her whole body trembled violently.

"Maid-in-waiting A Ruo, can this happen?" Jiang Yu looked at the expressions of the emperor and empress, and then asked.His voice was so thin that it still echoed in the empty hall.

"Slave A Ruo, tell your Majesty, the Empress, that this is indeed the case." She said these words with great difficulty, and at the end she was crying, and she knelt down on the ground, her body was paralyzed by fear. Shaking uncontrollably.

She hesitated for a long time before continuing, "The slave is Madam Wu... No, the sinner, Wu's adopted daughter, started to help Wu decoct medicine for His Highness about five years ago. Wu deceived the slave to benefit His Highness's health." Drugs, servants are young, so I firmly believe in this, until a few days ago, I didn't know that Mrs. Wu is such a vicious person!" After speaking, she gradually became fluent, with resentment in her voice.

The matter of her brewing poison can no longer be cleared away, but no matter what, she must repay the "mother-in-law" one or two!Thinking about it, his eyes hardened.

At the beginning, Wu Shi told her that she would take her by her side to take care of His Highness. After His Highness grew up, he could conceive His Highness's eldest son. From then on, a mother is more expensive than a child, and the glory in the future will definitely not be less.

She understood that her identity was doomed to continue living humblely in this palace, but it was difficult to resist such a temptation. She clearly had doubts about the medicine in her heart, but she still did not expose it.

But now, times are different.

A Ruo Qi Qi Ai Ai's cry sounded in the hall, Lu Zezhang frowned, and waved his hand, "Take it down, the crying is so disturbing." Jiang Yu nodded hurriedly, and gestured to the waiting palace attendant, A Ruo was caught Staggered down.

Gu Mingheng remained the same as before, standing where he was without opening his mouth.Lu Zezhang looked at Mrs. Wu who was kneeling on the ground, and said with some disgust, "Mr. Wu, the sinner, poisoned the prince. He is a treason, so he deserves death."

He said and looked at Gu Mingheng, "You have done a good job in this matter, and the rest can be done according to your wishes." Then he sighed and said, "Mingheng is so smart, I and the queen are very pleased."

After speaking, he got up directly, stretched out his hand to hold the Queen's hand, and the two left the East Palace hand in hand.

Before leaving, the Queen stood still, turned around and looked at Gu Mingheng, with a gentle voice, "Mingheng has worked hard, Your Highness will definitely understand Mingheng's heart for him in the future." After speaking, she smiled slightly and followed Lu Zezhang to leave .

Looking at Gu Mingheng's silent appearance, Jiang Bai ordered the palace servants to escort Wu Mama and left the main hall. It became empty for a while, and even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

Gu Mingheng waited until everyone had gone out before raising his head, his gaze fell outside the window, his eyes dim.A soft laugh escaped from his lips and slowly spread in the hall.

He gave the death penalty hastily, without asking for details, without tracking down the mastermind, and not even caring about Lu Chengning's current situation.

The smile on the corner of Gu Mingheng's mouth gradually subsided, and his lips were tightly pursed.Your Majesty has already known who did it, right?But it's so obvious that it doesn't even cover it up.

In your heart, do you really have no place for Lu Chengning?Then why did you make him the prince!Gu Mingheng's eyes suddenly filled with hostility, he punched the pillar, and Yubai's hand turned red instantly.His long hair covered his face, and his eyes were full of coldness.

After a long time, Gu Mingheng put his hands into his sleeves and walked towards the prince's bedroom.

His back was thin, but his back was never bent too much.The tall palace gates framed the heavens and the earth, leaving only the four corners of the sky. This huge imperial city is like an iron cage.

Stepping across the high threshold, the water-colored cloud-patterned boots landed on the marble floor, and the footsteps sounded softly, as if in the heart.
