Hope for luck

Chapter 501
In the summer of Tianfeng's 17th year, Prince Gong, who had been silent for a long time, once again plotted a coup d'état, and this time he thought that his preparations were foolproof, but in fact, he was already under the control of Emperor Tianfeng.

Prince Gong also ended in failure again, not only that, in the end, someone saw Prince Gong's body appearing in a certain alley.

It was also announced that Prince Gong's conspiracy to coup not only failed, but also that he himself was killed in the chaos.

As for who killed Prince Gong, no one mentioned it, and because it involved the royal family's secrets, no one dared to mention it again.

And those ministers and nobles who plotted a coup d'etat with Prince Gong were also beheaded and their homes were ransacked.

Most of these ministers are members of the old party. After all, Emperor Tianfeng's attitude is already obvious, and he must implement the new policy.

For these courtiers of the old party, the New Deal is undoubtedly cutting their flesh.

What's more, they not only represent their own interests, but also the interests of all the landlord class behind them.

Therefore, Prince Gong hit it off with them and planned to change the emperor. In this way, the implementation of the new policy can be stopped, and their interests will naturally not be harmed.

It's a pity that they naturally didn't expect that with such 'adequate' preparations, they still lost in the end.

Since mid-June, many people have had their heads beheaded or dismissed courtiers because of their involvement in the coup.

Until mid-August, in two months, the court went through a major cleansing, and slowly settled down.

From then on, the old party ceased to exist and there was only a new one, but that did not last long.

At the beginning of October, Emperor Tianfeng handpicked a sub-auxiliary, Xia Jingyan, to come to power, on the grounds of supervising the New Deal, to work against Dong Pingzhang as the sub-auxiliary party.

Those like Gao Pan naturally belonged to Dong Pingzhang's first auxiliary party.

In this situation, Dong Pingzhang naturally couldn't understand it more clearly. Now that the new party is in the world, it is impossible for Emperor Tianfeng to allow the new party to continue to grow. It is reasonable to support a secondary assistant to come out and fight him.

But this time, Dong Pingzhang didn't do any more strife, as long as he was willing to make concessions for the good of the New Deal, gradually Xia Jingyan's limelight seemed to overshadow Dong Pingzhang, the chief assistant.

Regarding this situation, Gao Pan also mentioned it to Dong Pingzhang, persuading Dong Pingzhang not to give Xia Jingyan too much face, and when it's time to shame him, he should immediately shame him.

But Dong Pingzhang told Gao Pan that he did this on purpose, because after the overthrow of the old party, the new party became dominant and the rights of Emperor Tianfeng were threatened.

If they still fight desperately at this time, then the next ones to fall will definitely be members of the new party like them.

It was only after Gao Pan listened to him that he understood, and since then he has kept a low profile and tried not to be in the limelight.

And the longer he worked as the head of the household department, the more transparent Gao Pan became, and the more he understood some unspoken rules in the officialdom.

In this way, the time came to the beginning of October. Gao Pan had just sat down in his master room that day when he heard a piece of news that made him ecstatic.

Shen Jinhua was diagnosed with a happy pulse!

This news made Gao Pan happy, but at the same time, his heart was extremely complicated.

He and Shen Jinhua have been married for a year. During this period, Gao Pan has been thinking about when he will hear the news that Shen Jinhua is pregnant.

This wait lasted for a year, especially since Ning Yan had complained to him about it before, which made Gao Pan a little flustered, for fear that he might have some hidden illness or something.

And this news completely made Gao Pan put aside the worries in his heart.

Regardless of his work, he hurriedly asked for leave from his superiors, and happily returned home.

Gao Pan's boss naturally knew Gao Pan's background and name. Seeing that Gao Pan asked for leave due to a happy event, he didn't mean to make things difficult, and let Gao Pan leave.

On the carriage home, Gao Pan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his heart was very complicated, and all kinds of emotions came to his heart at the same time.

It was joy, emotion, and a bit of embarrassment and disbelief.

In his previous life, although he was in his thirties, he had always been alone. In addition, he was born as an orphan, and he also looked forward to starting a family by himself.

But due to various reasons, he in the previous life had already come to this world before he had time to realize this ideal.

But right now, he not only has his first wife and two confidantes, but also his first wife is pregnant, which makes Gao Pan unable to describe his mood at the moment.

Because he was in a hurry to go home, Gao Pan didn't sit in his official sedan chair, but called a carriage, and returned to Gao's house after a while.

When I first arrived at the east courtyard, I saw that it was very lively inside, because even Mrs. Gao was alarmed to come here, and the rest of the people also came to congratulate.

After all, he is the grandson of Wufang. If Mr. Shen Jinhua can have a son, he will be the first great-grandson of the Gao family, and Mrs. Gao still cares a lot.

After Gao Pan came in, he saluted Mrs. Gao, and couldn't wait to inquire about the result. After getting everyone's affirmation, Gao Pan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Now, no one blamed Gao Pan for his gaffe. After all, such things are always good things, and it is reasonable for him to be so happy.

Immediately, Gao Pan went to the backyard and saw that Shen Jinhua was being taken care of carefully. He couldn't help being delighted and asked Shen Jinhua many questions in a soft voice.

Seeing Gao Pan's bewildered, flustered but delighted look, Shen Jinhua couldn't help being a little funny, so she answered them one by one, but still comforted him.

This also made Gao Pan calm down slowly. In the next few days, Gao Pan stayed by Shen Jinhua's side, watching her belly grow little by little, which gave Gao Pan an indescribable feeling.

According to the doctor, it had been a month since Shen Jinhua was diagnosed with a happy pulse.

But Gao Pan kept remembering the time, looking forward to the time when his child would meet him.

As time spent taking care of the family increased, Gao Pan didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, and even because of Shen Jinhua, Gao Pan only went to Qianying Villa occasionally.

This aroused complaints from both Ning Yan and Luo Ying, especially Ning Yan, who had been in the same room with Gao Pan a long time ago, but had never seen any movement, which made her very resentful.

In particular, Gao Pan took care of Shen Jinhua who was pregnant with meticulous care, which made her feel unspeakably jealous.

However, that's all, but whenever Gao Pan went to Qianying Villa, Ning Yan would ask for it several times, making Gao Pan painful and happy.

In this way, with Gao Pan taking good care of Shen Jinhua, time soon came to the end of the twelfth lunar month.

One day, Dong Pingzhang invited Gao Pan to meet him in his mansion. Gao Pan naturally did not dare to disobey him, so he came here. However, Gao Pan also guessed the reason why Dong Pingzhang invited him to meet him at this time.
