Wearing the white moonlight of a rival

"This is an unjust case!" Gu Zhuo said immediately.

Gu Heng frowned, "What do you mean? Apart from Gu Lingcheng, what other cases have our Gu family got involved in?"

"Because it involves the secrets of the palace, ordinary people don't know about it." Gu Zhuo glanced at Changting Hou Gu Yan, saw his father nodded, and then he continued, "It's only natural that you haven't heard of it outside. This scandal is related to the Eldest Princess. Originally, Yu Shiling was going to make trouble, but never thought that His Majesty would cause a bigger battle. Others didn't care about his father's trivial matter, and there was no one in the court today. Mentioned, all quarreled with His Majesty."

Gu Heng subconsciously looked at Gu Yan, this man who has been a soldier all his life has always been upright and upright, defending his family and country, he will definitely not get involved in any scandals, let alone being related to the eldest princess, someone must be framed.

"What is the saying in the palace now?"

Gu Zhuo said: "I didn't expect that His Majesty would have such tongue-in-cheek, he can fight with all the ministers in the court without losing the wind, one person can be worth thousands of troops, and he said that if you don't follow him, you will repeat the same thing." He is not afraid of besieging the Palace of Political Affairs again despite the mistakes made six years ago."

"What do you mean by besieging the Palace of Political Affairs again?" Gu Heng felt very strange, "It is an important place to discuss political affairs. Even the Son of Heaven might not be able to lead troops to surround the Palace of Political Affairs. Could it be that he wants to force the palace? What do people in the world think of this?"

"This..." Gu Zhuo got stuck.

Gu Yu hurriedly said: "This is just His Majesty's ruthless words. How can you take it seriously? The current situation is very unfavorable to the Gu family. This time, you can escape the responsibility because your Majesty has fallen out. It's not clear for a while, the rumors between my father and the eldest princess will naturally be put on hold, which is a good thing for us."

"Ah Heng, I'm telling you this to let you understand that today is different from the past, and now you are extremely willful." Gu Yanyi said, "I have to find a way to solve the matter of Miss Wan, and we must not act impulsively. , just gave people a handle."

"What else am I afraid of?" Gu Heng snorted coldly, "Can they really shake the Gu family?"

"Ah Heng!" Gu Yan said in a serious tone, "Do you really think that the Gu family is invulnerable to all poisons and is your patron saint? Do you know how your aunt is now? How is your uncle? Your uncle Tang What's the situation, brother? Anyone who is related to my Gu family will be excluded and neglected, let alone those married daughters! Don't you feel sad when you are a father? This is the fate of the winner and the loser! You have no experience Come on, you don't understand!"

"Dormancy, do you understand the word dormancy? Why don't you cry at me when you come home as your sister Wan? That's because she understands that the Gu family must be wise and safe, and can't make trouble easily. It's your aunt, who is honored in the Duke of Qi's mansion. For decades, but now he is given a face by his subordinate daughter-in-law, it is still like this for a mother-in-law, let alone a daughter-in-law?"

"How is this possible?" Gu Hengwan couldn't believe it, "My aunt is the real sister of the former empress..."

"Yes, she is not only the younger sister of the former empress, she is also the cousin of Concubine Gu. She has the power to save her, but so what? After all, her surname is Gu. In the past, she never When she came out of the court, your grandfather doted on her the most, because she was a young girl, and she had never suffered any grievances since she was a child. Naturally, she was respected when she married into the Duke of Qi's mansion, but she didn't expect to suffer all these crimes when she was old. This is waiting."

Gu Yan looked sad, "The family is not prosperous, even the most honorable person will be bullied. Qi Guogong died young, she did not have the support of her husband, and the son is not close... I thought at least she had a good life, but never I want to swallow my anger for a long time, but I never told me. That is my own sister!"

"Father," Gu Heng choked up, "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Six years after he failed to seize the heir apparent, he came here in the blink of an eye, as if he just fell asleep, but for his father, brother and even the entire Gu family, he survived day by day.Even though the Tian family is tolerant, those villains who are fighting for fame and fortune will not let it go, Gu family, what a fat piece of meat!How many people want to fight for the benefits from the Gu family, if not for the fact that the father and brother are all scheming people, they might not be able to maintain the current situation.

Fighting openly and secretly, fighting with swords and seas of fire, these six years have not been easier for them than when he fought for Wei Mingkai's position back then.

He was wrong!

Gu Heng's eyes were filled with sadness, "Father, I was the one who harmed the Gu family, so I should try my best..."

Gu Yan interrupted Gu Heng, "It's not your fault, nor did you harm the Gu family. If you don't take the initiative, the Gu family will also embark on the road of seizing the heir. When the eldest sister entered the palace, it was already destined to have today. This is the whole Gu family pushing you forward, and you are just a victim."

Having said that, Gu Yan closed his eyes, "Wait another 20 years, the Gu family will make a comeback, or it won't be that long at all."

"No, father, I can't wait for a moment." Thinking of Gu Wan's incident, Gu Heng felt his heart ache unbearably. How far Heng has fallen, I definitely can't bear this tone!"

"Ah Heng, what do you want to do?" Gu Yan asked in surprise.

Gu Heng cupped his hands, "Father, my son has heard everything you want to say clearly, so you should act carefully. But if I don't turn the Zhen family upside down, I don't deserve the surname Gu."

"Ah Heng..." Gu Yan wanted to say something, but Gu Heng said seriously, "Father, I will leave this matter to me. Please rest assured, big brother and second brother."

"This..." Gu Yan looked at Gu Yu, then at Gu Zhuo, and was at a loss for words.

Gu Heng thought for a while, and then asked: "What happened to the Yizheng Palace about the draft in the palace? I think it will take a while to make trouble, so did Wei Minghuan come for real or just pretend?"

Gu Yu immediately said: "I see that His Majesty is determined, what does your second brother think?"

Gu Zhuo nodded, "It doesn't seem to be fake, third brother, you have to be careful."

"What should I care about?" Gu Heng said angrily, "I have nothing to do with him..."

But in the middle of the speech, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly stopped talking, and didn't argue.

"Do you think this draft will be successful or not?" Gu Heng asked softly.

Gu Yan frowned, "Ah Heng, what do you want to do?"

Gu Heng shook his head and smiled again, "Father, I don't want to do anything. I just feel that, with Wei Minghuan's temperament like a mad dog, and now he holds the power in the world, even if he is still constrained by others, there is no way he can do it on the bright side." If a person dares to disobey, what he wants to accomplish, even if he offends the world, he will still accomplish it."

"So..." Gu Heng blinked slyly, "Since the Gu family has become the fat in the eyes of the aristocratic family, everyone wants to bite, everyone wants to kick, so it's natural that they feel sorry for His Majesty, poor Majesty. , after all, he can only stand with his former rival..."

"You mean, this matter will definitely make His Majesty and the other families confront each other, and this happens to be an opportunity for our Gu family to turn around."

"That's right." Gu Heng nodded and said, "It doesn't matter what method that person thought of before to deal with me, the Gu family, or the entire family lineage, but now he insists on making such a fuss, that is to challenge the etiquette of the gentry, like Xiao Xi The Su family, the Xie family in Yingchuan, and the Wang family in Quyang are all noble families. How can Wei Minghuan succeed easily? Wei Minghuan has to seek help from outside, and the Gu family has a little strength. If the Tian family share the same hatred against the enemy, they will have a chance to stand up."

"I hope that Wei Minghuan's love is deeply rooted, and the more violent the disturbance, the better, so that he can fish in troubled waters."

It was getting late, and the sound in the study gradually died down. Mrs. You sent someone to invite Gu Heng, saying that she was awake and wanted to see Mr. Heng.

Gu Heng hurried forward, and Gu Wan was also in the room. The mother and daughter were talking, sobbing to each other in a low voice, "My Wan'er, you really suffered, what should you do in the future! And your brother , how can we get married in the future? I...I really wish I could ask the Bodhisattva to take this life in exchange for the happiness of you two siblings..."

Jingyue lifted the curtain for Gu Heng, and Gu Heng said softly, "Mother, elder sister."

Madam You stretched out her hand to call Gu Heng closer, and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "What does Hou Ye say?"

Gu Heng said: "Of course we want to seek justice."

Madam You's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"It's serious." Gu Heng patted the back of Mrs. You's hand, "Mother, don't worry, I'm still here."

Gu Wan hesitated in her heart, but she didn't ask Gu Heng immediately. After the two comforted Mrs. You and rested, Gu Wan asked Gu Heng when they walked out of the house: "Brother Heng, what you said to your mother just now must not be true, right?"

"Why isn't it true?" Gu Heng asked back.

Gu Wan smiled wryly, "Mother is nothing more than that, she has always been cared for by her father, she has never been hit in the slightest, her mind is pure and ignorant, so there is no need to say more."

Speaking of this, Gu Wan sighed enviously, "A girl who marries into the Gu family is really the best blessing!"

"I have stayed in Zhen's family for more than ten years, and I can more or less hear from your brother-in-law that the Gu family is not what it used to be, and this time it has encountered a critical juncture. However, not only Lord Hou, Mr. Yu, and Mr. Zhuo are involved, you and I are like eggs that collapsed overnight..."

Gu Heng paused, he didn't expect Gu Wan to see it so clearly, he couldn't help sighing: "If the eldest sister is born as a boy, I'm afraid there will be nothing wrong with my younger brother."

Gu Wan shook her head, and the corner of her mouth curled into a faint smile, "Brother Heng is full of talent, wisdom and courage, how can I compare with him? Now I'm a bit more open, how can I live? Is it true that a woman must be attached to a man? The Zhen family is not as good as it is, so I don’t need Brother Heng to worry about it for me. When my mother gets better in a few days, I will invite myself to go to a temple outside Beijing to clean up. The right is to pray for the Gu family. .”

"I only have pity on my three children. I don't think the Zhen family is such a cold person. After all, they are the blood of their family. They will definitely reward them with a bite of food." Gu Wan sighed, even though she said so, her heart still Can't stop worrying.

Gu Heng listened quietly, and he didn't open his mouth until Gu Wan finished speaking: "This matter is not about the elder sister alone, but the honor and disgrace of my Gu family. I originally wanted to call the door directly, but now I can't make trouble When you grow up, you will have to vent your anger. Eldest sister doesn't want to go back to Zhen's house, so the three nephews and nieces will be sent to our house in a proper manner!"

Gu Wan heard this, and asked in surprise: "Brother Heng, you mean to start a fight with the Zhen family?"

"What's he afraid of if he's only going to the Amber Mansion?" Gu Heng dismissed it.

Gu Wan didn't think about this situation, she was speechless for a while.

Afterwards, Gu Heng called a few more experts, and ordered them to keep an eye on the Zhen family outside, and report any movement, even trivial matters.But the Zhen's family was very strange, they stayed behind closed doors all day, so that Gu Heng once thought that there was an expert behind him, trying to figure out what method to use to lure the snake out of the hole.

At first he thought that the Zhen family dared to make such a fuss because of Wei Minghuan's backing, but after hearing what his father and brother saw and heard in court, Wei Minghuan couldn't even take care of himself, let alone use the Zhen family?The matter of choosing a male concubine can be said to be his biggest failure so far. He opposed the aristocratic family when his foundation was not stable.

However, after careful consideration of the Zhen family's affairs, I felt that something was faintly wrong.Even if the Gu family is in dire straits, it is still a huge Hou's mansion. On the surface, it is still standing still. Only the father and brother know what is going on. Why is the Zhen family so slapped?

Even if his father was trapped in the vortex and couldn't get out, it wouldn't make that guy blatantly bully him too much.It seems that Wei Mingkai, as the Prince of Shun, wants to find a reason to deal with Gu You, he has to be arrested in Dali Temple and put on a show.

Where did his Zhen family have any face, it was too bold and reckless.I'm afraid there is something going on here, which is unknown to other people, even father and brother.

Gu Heng tapped the table with his fingers habitually, hearing the crisp sound, his mind raced quickly.

At this moment, there was a soft sound from the window sill behind him, and Gu Heng turned around in astonishment, "Who?"
