Before the Longevity Festival, Tu Mingjin hadn't come back yet.

Yonghao is more than five months old, and the deciduous teeth have also grown out, and some white spots appear on the red gums. Gu Qinyuan was surprised and couldn't help but want to reach out to touch it, but Zhao Nanny hurriedly pulled her back.

"It's true, master." Mother Zhao couldn't help but annoyed, everyone said that a mother would gradually become calm, but her master didn't seem as stable as the little emperor's grandson.

Gu Qinyuan smiled embarrassingly, and stretched out her hand to hook Yonghao's little finger.

"Master, Eunuch Wei from the palace came to the mansion to announce the decree." Fushun said outside.

Although I don't know how to have a good intention, but I can't lose courtesy, Gu Qinyuan ordered: "Put the table on the table."

Asking the nanny to guard Yonghao in the house, Gu Qinyuan changed into a change of clothes and went to the outer courtyard to receive the order.

Wei Zhong smiled and said hello, and then began to announce the decree.

Gu Qinyuan knelt on the ground to listen to the decree. The long imperial decree summed up that the seventh prince was benevolent, filial, honest, loyal and dedicated to his position, and he was named Duan County King.

"Congratulations, princess, the prince will be back in a few days." Wei Zhong said cheerfully.

Gu Qinyuan put away the imperial decree, smiled slightly, and asked, "Does your father-in-law know why my highness is crowned king?"

Wei Zhong only said: "Tomorrow, someone from the Ministry of Rites will come to the door. The princess listens to them and puts the mansion back in order. She will enter the palace to thank you after the lord returns."

After finishing speaking, he took the people away, and Fushun trotted after him and stuffed a purse.

The servants in the mansion were overjoyed, and the Seventh Prince was crowned the county king, so they naturally rose to the top. They all said that the servants of the prince's mansion would look up to others when they went out as the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister.

"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." Everyone grinned and came forward to congratulate.

Gu Qinyuan smiled and said "reward", and there was another burst of jubilation.

After receiving the imperial decree in the house, Gu Qinyuan said to Mammy Zhao, "Mommy, go and see if Mr. He is there, I have something to ask him."

Before Tu Mingjin left, He Xuan asked He Xuan to live in the front yard, so that Gu Qinyuan could find him if he needed anything.

When He Xuan arrived at the study room, Gu Qinyuan sat behind the screen and asked, "Master He, do you know why His Highness is crowned king?"

There must be a reason for the important matter of being king, not to mention that it was not mentioned in the letter sent by Tu Mingjin a few days ago.

Thinking of Su Qitai's letter instructing him not to tell the prince and concubine about His Highness's injury, He Xuan paused, and then said: "Your Highness has made great contributions in Suzhou Mansion, and that's why he was crowned king. As for what kind of credit, I now Don't know yet."

Isn't it just inspecting the water transportation, Tu Mingjin has done so many errands in the past, Tiansheng Emperor only verbally rewarded him, otherwise he rewarded things, this was the first time he rewarded the throne.

The previous princes were all in their twenties, and Tu Mingjin became the county king just like the fourth and fifth princes before he was crowned. Gu Qinyuan felt inexplicably uneasy thinking about it.

But looking at He Xuan's appearance, he knew that he would not tell the truth, so Gu Qinyuan said: "I will ask His Highness personally when he comes back. The Ministry of Rites will come tomorrow, and Master He will greet you."

He Xuan nodded. As for how the concubine will settle accounts with the prince in the future, that is the prince's own business and has nothing to do with him.

Back in the main courtyard, Gu Qinyuan took off her pearl hairpin and powder, and sent Zhao Nanny and others out.

Yonghao on the small bed was sucking his fingers to sleep, his face was peaceful, Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but smiled, and then sighed: "I don't know what your father did to let your grandpa give such a big baby grace."

On the way back to Beijing, Tu Mingjin was lying on the carriage, and Su Qitai gave him medicine with tears in his eyes.

Seeing Su Qitai like that, Tu Mingjin was annoyed, and said coldly: "Okay, master isn't dead yet."

Su Qitai wrapped the bandage carefully, then wiped away his tears and said: "This servant just thinks, when the princess sees the prince's injury, she won't know how sad she will be."

"Okay, you go out, the master is quiet." Tu Mingjin waved his hand and said.

Su Qitai lowered his head and opened the curtain to sit in the car, the guard next to him whispered: "Eunuch, Your Highness has provoked you again?"

Su Qitai gave him a sideways glance, then turned to look the other way.

Tu Mingjin squinted his eyes and recalled what happened along the way, and his lips were slightly pursed by the dull pain in his chest.

Everything was peaceful on the way to Suzhou, and Tu Mingjin could even write a few letters to Gu Qinyuan, but when he got to the edge of the canal, someone chased him down.

Tu Mingjin became suspicious at the time. Emperor Tiansheng would send imperial envoys to inspect the water transport every year. Although there would be a group of officials who would be dismissed later, those officials who knew that they had nowhere to go would go to war before he arrived. A dangerous move, send someone to kill him early.

Besides, he didn't believe that those people had the guts to assassinate the prince. Knowing that the matter was not easy, Tu Mingjin immediately sent a guard back to the capital to report to Emperor Tiansheng.

I didn't expect that those killers were so powerful that even twenty or thirty guards from the Forbidden Army couldn't resist, so Tu Mingjin had no choice but to fight himself, and was slashed in a fight.

Fortunately, these guards didn't eat dry food, and in the end they killed the killer.

There was no way to go by the canal, so the guards took Tu Mingjin in disguise and went to the city to seek medical treatment from a doctor.

The doctor stroked his beard and kept saying, "Fortunately, the incision wasn't deep and didn't hurt the vitals. If you use more force, even the gods of Da Luo will be hard to save."

Enduring the pain and waiting for the doctor to finish the medicine, Tu Mingjin passed out.

Su Qitai hurriedly grabbed the doctor, "Look quickly, why did my grandfather pass out?"

The doctor gave Su Qitai a blank look, he really didn't want to talk to this ignorant person, and also thought that these people didn't even pay the money, so he could only comfort him with a nice voice.

After Tu Mingjin woke up, he asked his men who were proficient in inquiring information to go around a few nearby cities, and the news came back that a group of people were secretly contacting several prefects along the coast.

After staying in Suzhou Mansion for more than two months, with the help of private guards sent by Emperor Tiansheng, he finally found out everything.

There were five princes who grew up from the first emperor, Tian Shengdi ranked third, and the eldest prince was named the crown prince, and was imprisoned to death because of his failure to win the heir.

The first prince is dead, but there are a group of loyal subordinates under him. Even though the master is dead, they still want to help the young master to the throne.The youngest son of the first prince was stolen by them and raised in the south of the Yangtze River. Before he left, a fire burned the palace to the ground.

The people who came back to Suzhou Mansion this time were to contact the former prince's former ministry, and they didn't expect to meet Tu Mingjin, after all, the people who inspected the water transport in the past were all officials.

The leader was ruthless, and immediately came up with a poisonous plan, sent someone to kill Tu Mingjin, and put the blame on the rest of the princes, "Let the son of the dog emperor kill himself, so as to comfort the spirit of our lord in heaven."

Emperor Tiansheng didn't expect that his elder brother still had the old department and left a child behind. With the idea of ​​eradicating the weeds, he immediately sent a letter to Tu Mingjin to stay in the local area to investigate secretly. Thinking that he was injured, he even sent a A doctor passed by.

There are not many people here, and after the leader is caught, the private guards will take them back to the capital first.Tu Mingjin took a step forward slowly.

Having captured the ex-prince's old department, and his son was injured again, Emperor Tiansheng wrote an edict directly on the imperial decree to confer Ming Jin as the county king with a swipe of his pen.

The rest of the princes didn't know whether to be jealous or pitiful when they heard the news. After all, even if there was no such thing, Tu Mingjin would be crowned king in a few years, but now he won the throne because he lost half his life.

The fourth prince immediately said: "When the seventh brother comes back, I should go and visit."

Although the wound was not deep, but due to the exhaustion of the boat and the need to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, it still hasn't healed until now. Tu Mingjin frowned, he really didn't know how to face Yuanyuan.

Tu Mingjin wanted to escape, but no matter how far the road was, there was always an end. A few days later, the carriage still drove to the gate of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

No, it should be Duanjun Palace now.

On the second day after the imperial decree came, the people from the Ministry of Rites carried the newly made plaque to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. He Xuan and Fushun personally stared at the plaque and hung it up. At that time, red firecrackers were set off.

Tu Mingjin pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, without letting Su Qitai help him, he got out of the carriage by himself.

Gu Qinyuan stood at the door, her eyes were slightly wet, she blessed him, and said with a smile: "My lord."
