The father, son and brother talked secretly for a long time in the study, and when they noticed the time, it was almost time.

Gu Yan immediately worried: "How can you support your current body? Go to rest quickly."

Gu Heng shook his head, "Father, how can I rest? Gu Lingcheng is at home, and as a parent and son, I have to watch the night and kneel to the spirit."

Gu Yan still wanted to say something, but also thought about the status of the third son now, so he had no choice but to say, "Then you go, Ah Zhuo, take care of your brother."

Gu Zhuo replied: "Yes."

"As for Mrs. You, it's already late now, so I'll visit you tomorrow."

It was settled like this, Gu Heng finally came out of the study, Gu Zhuo led him to the mourning hall, and the servant Shen Yu couldn't hold on anymore, waiting outside the door to fall asleep.

Gu Heng woke him up and told him to go to sleep by himself.

Shen Yu refused, so Gu Heng had no choice but to let him follow him.

Gu Zhuo said: "Second Brother will accompany you tonight."

Gu Heng glanced at his second brother, "Cousin Zhuo is exhausted from traveling and traveling, so go to bed early."

Gu Zhuo was startled to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he wanted to make amends, "If you don't want my father to raise you under his name, you can call me second brother."

Gu Heng thought for a while, "I'm afraid I still have to agree with my mother."

Mother, of course, is Mrs. You.

Gu Zhuo said: "After Gu Lingcheng's funeral is over, I will ask my father to tell Mrs. You."

"Yes." Gu Heng agreed.

The two walked through the garden, and the mourning hall was already close at hand.

-

In the garden, Wei Minghuan and Lou Diyu, who were pretending to be lurking, had been waiting for nearly two hours.

Lou Diyu went to inquire many times, and found that Gu Heng was still in Gu Yan's study, and he didn't dare to get too close, and he didn't even enter the courtyard.After all, Gu Changye next to Marquis Changting is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"He's just a collateral, how can he talk to Gu Yan so much?" Wei Minghuan was impatient and impatient.

Lou Diyu couldn't explain it either.

But suddenly, I heard Gu Heng's voice and the footsteps of several people.

Lou Diyu hurriedly dragged Wei Minghuan away, both of them were masters, and kept a little distance from Gu Zhuo and others, naturally they did it quietly.

Gu Zhuo placed Gu Heng in the mourning hall, ordered Shen Yu to take care of him, and arranged for two servants to take care of him, and even the doctor in the mansion informed him that he had to be on standby at any time, for fear that Gu Heng would be seriously ill now. My body couldn't support it.

But Gu Heng knew it well, he had been sleeping in the carriage during the day, and it was only two or three hours before dawn, so it shouldn't be a problem to kneel for such a little time.

As a son of man, he must do the filial piety and heart that should be done.

For nothing else, I borrowed Gu Heng's body to return to the first life for him, kneeling down for Gu Youshou's filial piety, it's just a trivial matter.

Wei Minghuan and Lou Diyu approached the mourning hall quietly, and they could only see Gu Heng's back from a distance, it was a thin back.

Wei Minghuan just watched quietly, but suddenly he didn't dare to approach again.

It seems to be close to the hometown.

"It's really him?" Wei Minghuan asked Lou Diyu.

Lou Diyu was speechless in secret, without revealing it on the face, she said affirmatively: "It is certain."

Wei Minghuan nodded, "You take care of the servants around him."

"Yes." Lou Diyu leaned out quickly, and knocked down the four servants who were waiting beside the mourning hall with lightning speed.

His technique is peculiar, it looks like he fell asleep unconsciously, even if the person wakes up by himself, he will not have any doubts.

In this way, only Shen Yu in the mourning hall and another servant who lit candles and incense were left.

In the customs of the Wei Dynasty, there is no habit of inviting monks to watch at night to perform rituals. Only when the coffin is unearthed will those monks come with the funeral procession.

Therefore, the mourning hall was very quiet, and for Wei Minghuan, it was a good time to sneak a glimpse of Bai Yueguang.

Lou Diyu gestured to Wei Minghuan not far away, because the white lanterns were lit on the mourning hall, Wei Minghuan took a closer look, and then got closer and closer.

The two shot at almost the same time, one restrained Shen Yu, and the other restrained the servant.

Gu Heng was praying in his heart with his eyes closed, but when he heard the sound and opened his eyes, he saw the familiar yet annoying face of his deadly enemy.

"you……"

He really changed his body, and even his vigilance was much lower, and he didn't realize until he got close to him.

If this person is an assassin, he is probably dead.

Wei Minghuan made a hissing gesture towards him, "Don't call anyone, I won't hurt you."

Gu Heng laughed angrily, how long has it been since the enemy has become so funny?Like a thief!

"The majestic king of a country actually sneaked into other people's mansions and did such stealthy things. Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word?" Gu Heng said coldly.

Wei Minghuan asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"

When Gu Heng heard this, he immediately sounded an alarm in his heart, should Gu Heng recognize Wei Minghuan?

After all, it is the Gu family, so it should be recognized.

"Why don't you recognize Your Majesty?" Gu Heng's tone was still bad.

Wei Minghuan didn't care about Bai Yueguang's tone at all, but was pleasantly surprised that the other party knew him well.

But in a flash, he put on an arrogant air again, "Since you know it's me, why don't you be polite?"

Gu Heng almost vomited blood in his heart, he had stabbed each other with this person all his life, the little friendship he had when he was young had long since disappeared, and he even wrote letters to scold each other for two years.

One is called Guzhu, and the other is called Weigou.

Such a relationship seems to be incompatible.Now that Wei Minghuan got his wish, he put on a show in front of Gu Heng, but Gu Heng had no choice but to admit defeat and bow his head.

Such emotions really made Gu Heng unhappy.

But there is no way, he is now against other people's body, if Wei Minghuan really cares about those two bad words just now, I'm afraid he will have to beg for mercy and say good things.

So he had no choice but to stand up, kneel down again, and made a bow to the monarch, "Caomin Gu Heng, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Stay flat." Wei Minghuan had a smile on his lips, when Gu Heng couldn't see him.

He felt that this person was really a bit like that little girl back then. When they first met, she also gave him a few words in a blunt tone.

Gu Heng stood up and asked respectfully, "I don't know what's important for your Majesty to come here?"

Wei Minghuan said: "I will come to see you."

look at me?Gu Heng was puzzled, what's so interesting about me?

It's just a young master from a remote place in Changting County, and he's not even a direct descendant of the Gu family. How can he tire the king of a country to move by himself?Where did you get so much face?

Although thoughts were racing through his mind, Gu Heng still calmly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After finishing these three words, he was so happy that he suddenly thought of the secret letter he saw in his father's study before, and suspected that he was missing someone.

Could it be that Wei Minghuan is really looking for Gu Heng?

Thinking of this, Gu Heng was shocked, but he heard Wei Minghuan say: "I have seen you, I have fulfilled my wish, so I left."

Gu Heng was still thinking in his heart, what is the connection between Gu Heng and Wei Minghuan, and it is worth sending Lou Diyu to investigate in person?

Hearing that Wei Minghuan said to leave, he saluted dumbly: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

The corner of Wei Minghuan's mouth twitched, this kid is really used to embarrassing others!

If I want to say a few more words, I can't.

He stared at Gu Heng quietly, and after a while, he really left.

Gu Heng heaved a sigh of relief, and knelt in front of Gu You's spirit as usual. After thinking about it, he always felt that it was a bit strange that Wei Minghuan didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to see him secretly.

What do you mean you have made your wish?What wish could Wei Minghuan have?

As an opponent for so many years, Gu Heng thought he had studied this person thoroughly, but he didn't have any information about Gu Heng.

Could it be that this kid is still hiding some secrets?Also related to Gu Heng?

Gu Heng wrote down this matter, thinking about discussing it with his father tomorrow.

The candlelight in front of the coffin was flickering, and no one knew which string had been plucked. Gu Heng suddenly remembered the man in black who was watching him the day before yesterday, and he felt chills all over his body.

Is that person actually Lou Diyu?

That's right, apart from experts like Lou Diyu, who else can lurk on the roof without the second brother noticing?

It wasn't until they left the house that they heard a sound.

Ruined!Gu Heng had a bad heart, he woke up strangely at the beginning, maybe Jiaolou Diyu noticed it, that person was thoughtful, maybe he reported it to Wei Minghuan.

Therefore, Wei Minghuan came here tonight to catch himself, a monster!

Gu Heng quickly recalled what happened just now, he didn't seem to have done anything abnormal, right?No, he contradicted His Majesty today!

As a collateral descendant of the Gu family, a person who has lived in Changting County, far away from Emperor Shangao, how could he be so rude when meeting His Majesty?

So... Gu Heng became anxious all of a sudden, stood up quickly, and hurried to his father's yard.

After running two steps, he stopped again, no!

Still not right!

Lou Diyu received Wei Minghuan's order a month ago to investigate Gu Heng everywhere, until he reached Changting County and Hanshan Temple.

Such a secretive action that had to be done by the leader of the dark guards in person can only show that Gu Heng and Wei Minghuan have an ulterior secret, and it may not be what his father guessed - Wei Minghuan intends to do something to the Gu family.

It may even be a deeper secret, because Wei Minghuan said that his wish has come true.

What can he wish for in this life?Isn't it just enthroned as emperor?What other wish is related to Gu Heng?

Gu Heng couldn't figure it out. At this moment, he found that all his previous understanding of Wei Minghuan had been turned upside down, and he became completely ignorant.

But one thing can be confirmed, Lou Diyu returned to Beijing to report to Wei Minghuan only today, and Wei Minghuan took the risk to infiltrate Gu's residence that night, which shows how much he attaches importance to this matter.

As the son of heaven, sneaking into the minister's mansion late at night is a taboo no matter how you think about it, and I don't know how it will be criticized if it spreads.What's more, this minister was once his deadly enemy, what should people in the world think?

The emperor is a thief, I dare not even think about it!

With such a handle in his hands, Wei Minghuan would not dare to touch the Gu family easily, otherwise the prestige and image he has worked so hard to build will be ruined!

If he was more vicious and made people hype that the Son of Heaven had lost his virtue and was unworthy of being a king, then he might be able to drive Wei Minghuan into a desperate situation by uniting with the forces of several princes.This person will never leave any weaknesses and handles for himself, let's play it off now.

Gu Heng thought secretly, he didn't feel that there was any danger for a while.

So he knelt back before the spirit again, thinking about what happened tomorrow before discussing with his father and elder brother.

In the early hours of the morning, Gu Yu came to visit Gu Heng, and found that the servants had fallen asleep alone, and immediately got angry.He has always been mild-tempered, not easily angered, because as the eldest son of Changting Hou, his words and deeds attract attention, so he is not as sharp-edged as Gu Zhuo.

In the past six years, Gu Zhuo has been honed into a man of hidden front, and Gu Yu has become more and more gentlemanly.

But now, it was his own younger brother who was being neglected, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Gu Heng quickly persuaded Gu Yu, and hinted that something unusual happened last night, so he gave up.

"I'll ask Dr. Lin to give you a pulse test later. It's still early. I'll take care of the rest. It doesn't matter if you leave for a while."

Gu Heng shook his head, "There is only the last level left, let's rest after the treatment is over, I know my body well, if I really can't hold it, I won't hold it."

At this time, the news reached Mrs. You's ears, and she hurried over with her maid, and she wept sadly when she saw Gu Heng.

"Heng'er, you're finally back, you've lost weight! Your father...he just went away, when he was carried back, he was covered in blood..." Madam You cried.

Gu Heng hurriedly said a few words of comfort, and then asked: "What happened?"

Mrs. You said: "It's not because of your father's errands, he works in Honglu Temple, half a month ago a few foreigners came here, and one of them was assigned to your father by the minister of the temple, how can you think your father is bad?" He violated the culture and customs of foreign countries, and was arrested by Prince Shun and sent to Dali Temple for punishment. As a result..."

Madam You was so choked up that she couldn't speak, she said intermittently: "When I came out, I had only one breath left, and within half a day after I came back, I was gone."

In this way, Gu You is also unreasonable.

Even if His Majesty wanted to punish Prince Shun, he couldn't find any obvious mistakes. He could only say that Prince Shun's torture was too severe and killed people.

Wei Mingkai's actions can be said to be a famous teacher, and the name is justified.

Gu Heng's expression is cold. The biggest doubt in this lawsuit is that Gu You has worked in Honglu Temple for more than ten years, from a small master to Ling Cheng, and then from a fifth-rank Shaoqing, how could he be so reckless? The earth broke the customs of the Gentiles?

There may be unexpected tricks in this.

Moreover, the so-called customs and culture are naturally what foreigners say. Wei Mingkai wanted to punish Gu You, but he just found an excuse.

The Gu family has been cautious in the past six years. Wei Mingkai wanted to cut off the relationship with the Gu family, but he really couldn't find any mistakes, so he had to fabricate charges to start with Gu You. When Gu Heng thought of Wei Mingkai's behavior style, he felt that Gu You was dead. Injustice.

This account needs to be settled in the future!

She used to saddle up for him, but what she got in exchange was such an end!Gu Heng felt blood dripping from his heart, and the pain was severe.

Forget it, it's all over, he is no longer the Gu Heng he used to be, for the sake of the Gu family, everything can be endured, and everything can be started from scratch.

After talking with Mrs. You for a while, the monk who performed the ceremony had arrived, and then a series of funeral ceremonies began, and by the time the ceremony was over, it was already noon.

During the period, Gu Heng just drank a bowl of porridge in a hurry, and he couldn't eat anything else.

Back in the mansion, Gu Yu asked Dr. Lin to take Gu Heng's pulse. Dr. Lin diagnosed that Gu Heng's body was fine, but it was just a common cold. He prescribed a few medicines for Gu Heng to take.

Gu Heng drank the first dose of medicine and quickly fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and he felt drenched in sweat. He hurriedly took a shower and washed, and then went to the study to find Gu Yan.

"You came just in time." Gu Zhuo said to Gu Heng, "Uncle Changye found out that when you came back the night before, a thief entered our house, but that person was very skilled in martial arts and was too vigilant, so he didn't leave any evidence."

Gu Heng thought to himself, he forgot about that kid Wei Minghuan.

Thinking of that man being a thief, he couldn't help laughing, "Second Brother, that man is here to find me."

"who is it?"

"If you say it, you're afraid you'll die laughing. You can't guess this person even if you try to use your brain."

Gu Zhuo became even more curious, "Could it be the man in black that day?"

Gu Heng said: "Not far away."

"Is it or not?"

Gu Heng played tricks, "Two people, one of them is him, and the other..."

Gu Zhuo was in a hurry, "Hurry up and tell me, when will you change your teasing temper?"

"Okay, let me tell you, don't be surprised." Gu Heng couldn't hold back his laughter after all, "It's Wei Minghuan."

"Your Majesty?" Gu Zhuo's eyes widened in shock, and Gu Yan, the Marquis of Changting who was watching, looked surprised.

At this time, Gu Yu entered the door holding a piece of white silk embroidered with auspicious clouds, and at a glance she knew it was an imperial decree.

"If you see this edict, you will probably be even more shocked."
