I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth

◎"I want to see him." "Where are others?"◎

Gu Yuan did not wait too long.

A few days later, the flooding of the Nanqiang River was basically brought under control.The group handed over the remaining matters to the local magistrate, and then set off for Beijing.

As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he went back to Gu's residence first.

"Yuan'er!"

Wu Lanxian greeted him happily, pulled him to look at it carefully, and then sighed,

"I've lost a lot of weight these days."

"It's a good thing to be thin." Gu Yetan was quite relieved, "I heard that these days, you followed Tang Shilang and proposed many feasible strategies. Tang Shilang praised you very much. Not bad."

Among his sons and daughters, the eldest son is mature and stable, and the eldest daughter is gentle and courteous. They are all well-bred, but they still can't satisfy him completely.

Only seeing Zheng's son in front of him, let him see the hope of revitalizing the family.

"You're tired." He said, "Go and take a rest. The Holy Majesty hosted a banquet in the palace tonight, and since you're back, you're going to attend."

Gu Yuan paused.

On the way here, he heard the news that the first emperor passed away and the new emperor succeeded him.

The first emperor passed away suddenly, but fortunately the fourth son of the emperor was well-known outside the world, and with a will, it was expected by all.

There is almost no chaos in the capital.

When Gu Yuan came back at this time, the government and the opposition were already performing their duties in an orderly manner.

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Yetan asked, "What's wrong?"

He laughed and said: "A few days ago I went to the palace, and the new emperor praised you to me, saying that he remembered the days when you were studying with him when you were young, and when you return to the palace, he will have a long talk with you."

"You and the new emperor are on good terms." He sighed, "It is indeed a blessing for me that the new emperor is benevolent and remembers the past."

The Gu family was originally highly relied upon by the late emperor, and Gu Yetan was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. He had been working hard for so many years, and had a high reputation in the first place.

Now, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, and because of the old relationship, he is quite close to the Gu family.

All of a sudden, everyone in the court flocked to him, wanting to take the opportunity to make friends.

The number of portraits handed over to Wu Lanxian recently has doubled.

Thinking of this, Gu Yetan couldn't help exhorting a few more words.

For example, you must always pay attention to the rules and etiquette when you meet in the evening, and you can’t be as casual as before; if someone talks, don’t get too close, but you must also know how to be slick, after all, you will be colleagues...

Gu Yuan hesitated to speak several times, but finally, seeing the look on Gu Yetan's face, he swallowed back what he wanted to ask.

"The child knows." He said.

"Yes." Gu Yetan nodded, "Then you can go down."

Gu Yuan nodded and left the room.

As soon as he returned to his yard, he grabbed Ah Fu who was helping him pack his things.

"Has King Yu been here?" He asked softly.

He actually asked about He Liansheng's situation on the way, but those who returned to Beijing with him had stayed in Nanqiang for a long time, and they didn't know what to ask.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his tone seemed too eager. He pursed his lips, and the roots of his ears were a little red.

He was expecting Ah Fu's response, but the other party was silent for a moment.

Gu Yuan's heart sank.

"...No?" He asked softly.

The Northern Yin matter is over.

It stands to reason that both He Liansheng and Dugu Ya's stay-at-home orders should have been lifted.

still is……

Are you mad at him?

"...No." Ah Fu stammered, "Uh, son, you weren't at the house some time ago, so why did His Highness come here?"

Gu Yuan was stunned.

Yes.

he thinks.

He Liansheng must have known that he was going south, and knew that he would miss nothing, so he didn't want to come to him.

"I'll go to Prince Yu's Mansion." He let out a light breath.

"Young master...!"

In desperation, Ah Fu grabbed his sleeve.

Gu Yuan paused.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Ah Fu hesitated: "That...His Highness is in the palace."

Gu Yuan was startled.

"So." Gu Yuan said slowly, "You mean, it was the Holy Majesty who invited him into the palace these two days in order to catch up with His Highness?"

Afu nodded hurriedly.

Gu Yuan thought for a while.

He actually didn't know exactly how the relationship between He Liansheng and He Lianjin was. Looking back now, he still has few memories.

He thought for a while: "Where is Concubine Lan Gui?"

"After the first emperor passed away, the concubine went to the Temple of Mercy, saying that she planned to spend the rest of her life in the Temple of Mercy, praying for Liang Chu." Ah Fu said cautiously, "The Holy Majesty is grateful for his heart, so it will be allowed."

Gu Yuan paused.

Before he could speak again, Ah Fu changed the subject.

"My lord, you should hurry up and see what to wear to the banquet at night." Ah Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Left and right...His Royal Highness is in the palace, and you won't be able to see him, so don't worry about it for a while."

"Tonight's banquet is your first time meeting the Holy Spirit." He persuaded, "Master and Madam both attach great importance to it."

Gu Yuan pursed his lips.

After a while, he let out a breath: "...OK."

If it's a night banquet, He Liansheng should also go.

he thinks.

There is really no rush for this moment.

"I'm going to change clothes, pack my things for me." He said.

"Good son."

Afu quickly responded.

Gu Yuan rested for a while, changed into a more formal lavender robe, and followed Gu Yetan into the palace.

The banquet is held in Cuishui Pavilion.

The building was built during the reign of the first emperor, and has since become a place to entertain envoys and enjoy each other.

The moonlight was excellent and the weather was pleasant tonight. There was a sense of spring in full bloom. The table was full of toasts and cups, and the atmosphere was more casual after a few cups.

Gu Yuan's official position is not high, so he can only sit in the outer table, surrounded by two colleagues.

After toasting a glass of wine, he walked to the lotus pond on the pretext of being too drunk, but was suddenly patted.

He turned around and saw Meng Gan whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"You are proud of the spring breeze, Gu Xingzhou." Meng Gan said with a smile, "At today's banquet, the Holy Majesty asked you if you were here, and then gave you a big compliment. The banquet is over, and you have to be busy."

Gu Yuan paused with his fingers resting on the edge of the pole, and said lightly:

"Not necessarily a good thing."

At the beginning of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he must win over his ministers.

At this time, he was greatly favored and trusted, mostly because his father had a high reputation, and he had never clearly stood in line when fighting for the reserve. It coincided with the flooding of the Nanqiang River, and took the opportunity to appease people's hearts.

What will happen in the future is still unknown.

"Don't think so much now." He said, "Hey, look there."

Gu Yuan looked in his direction and saw a somewhat familiar face.

The man's face was not handsome, but he was rather radiant and proud. He was wearing an extremely rich robe, and was holding a wine glass, enjoying the greetings and compliments from the people around him.

Gu Yuan frowned: "Zou Hongji?"

"Zou Shilang is a popular person in front of the Holy One recently." Meng Gan snorted, "Look at how successful he is."

Gu Yuan turned his eyes away indifferently: "Don't care what other people do."

"That's right." Meng Gan said.

"Oh, that's right." He poked Gu Yuan's arm, "Are you engaged? Which lady are you looking for? I'm going to have a drink then."

Gu Yuan's hand paused, and he raised his eyes in a daze.

He was actually a little drunk.

He is not a good drinker himself, and since that day...after that, he has never drank again.

Right now, the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and he feels his throat burning, and his forehead is also a little hot.

For a moment, he barely heard what Meng Gan was asking.

"What?" he asked.

Then, he said, "I don't want a wife."

He is married.

Why does everyone come to ask him if he wants to marry a wife?

Meng Gan paused, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"You won't..." He said softly, "You don't know yet, do you?"

"what?"

Gu Yuan frowned.

"Master Gu, hey, why are you hiding here?" Someone came over with a glass of wine, smiled and hugged Gu Yuan's shoulders, "Come on, let's go drink, the adults are waiting there."

After saying that, he dragged Gu Yuan away involuntarily.

Gu Yuan glanced at Meng Gan, who shrugged his shoulders at him, and he rubbed his temples, feeling that they were faintly hot.

Fortunately, in the end...

He wasn't given too much alcohol.

When he was being supported by Ah Fu to walk in the alleyway of the palace, the cold wind blew and he woke up a little bit.

He stopped.

On both sides of the towering palace walls, not far away, eunuchs and maids carrying lamps are hurrying with their heads buried.

He pursed his lips: "Wait."

"What's the matter, my lord?" Ah Fu supported him, "The sedan chair will arrive soon."

"I want……"

Gu Yuan rubbed his temples, and said to himself,

"I have to find him."

He Liansheng did not come to the banquet.

He didn't know why the other party didn't want to come, or...

Because I don't want to see him.

The moment this idea appeared in his mind, Gu Yuan panicked.

"I have to find him."

He repeated it, and broke away from Ah Fu's hand.

Ah Fu didn't expect this situation, he looked dumbfounded behind him, stomped his feet after a long time, and chased after him:

"My son, my son?"

Although Gu Yuan was drunk, he could barely maintain his balance. He walked a little fast, but he didn't know where he was going.

At this moment, two young eunuchs suddenly hurried past beside him.

While running, the two were still whispering.

"It's all right...how could it be..."

"Hey, who can tell clearly about the royal family, King Liang..."

"The King of Liang and... have a very close friendship, I'm afraid it's not because of that one, if you ask me, why bother?"

"Be careful!"

"Hey, who is it?" A person suddenly appeared in front of them, both of them were taken aback. After a closer look, they found out who it was, and hurriedly saluted, "Master Gu."

Gu Yuan looked at them fixedly: "What were you talking about just now?"

The two eunuchs looked at each other:

"This……"

Sang Gui came in a hurry from afar, and upon seeing this, he shouted back the two young eunuchs.

Then, he smiled at Gu Yuan: "It's getting late, Mr. Gu, let's go back to the mansion first to rest."

Gu Yuan looked at him.

Sang Gui hesitated for a moment, remembering what the new emperor had told him before.

For a long time, he was blessed.

"Just now there is news that King Liang has turned his back on the way back to the fief." He said softly, "But the surrounding defenders have already captured him and pressed him to the capital."

"As for..."

He hesitated for a moment, "You are not in the capital, so you may not know about it. His Highness the Seventh Prince attempted treason a few days ago and was imprisoned in the cold palace."

"A few days ago, the Holy Majesty had some conversations with him, and His Highness said...he used to be self-willed and reckless, and delayed your life. Now, he has sincerely repented and asked the Holy Majesty to release your marriage contract. The imperial decree has arrived at Gu's family before."

"Young master, you are free."

When saying these words, Sang Gui's mood was extremely complicated.

He served the late emperor for many years, although he has seen He Liansheng's willfulness, but after all, he watched the children grow up.

At the beginning, the marriage contract between Gu Yuan and He Liansheng was full of turmoil, and he also secretly lamented the pity for Gu Yuan who couldn't help himself.

at the moment……

At this moment, he thought of the expectant eyes in the cold palace just now, but suddenly felt a little sadness for He Liansheng.

...It really is old.

he thinks.

He sighed in his heart, and was about to bid farewell to Gu Yuan, when he raised his head but was startled.

The person in front of him was still handsome and handsome, his body still smelled of alcohol, but his eyes were clearer than ever before.

He stared at Sang Gui, his voice hoarse:

"What about others?"

Sang Gui hesitated for a moment: "My lord..."

"I want to see him." Gu Yuan closed his eyes, "Right now."

He doesn't allow it.

Why?

If you want him, you want him, if you want to kick him away, do you think he is some kind of plaything?

Just because he said a few harsh words because of the harsh weather?

He Liansheng, He Liansheng...

No.

There is no way he would agree!

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said word by word:

"Eunuch Sang, where is His Highness, I want to see him."

He found that He Liansheng always had a way to provoke him with a few words.

Whether it was before or now.

Willful and reckless, speak for themselves.

This time, he will not give the other party another chance to mess around.

Sang Gui realized something, and a trace of pity appeared on his face.

He was silent for a long time.

Just when Gu Yuan's patience was almost exhausted, he spoke in a very soft voice:

"My lord, you probably didn't hear clearly just now, His Royal Highness Seventh Prince attempted rebellion and was imprisoned in the cold palace."

"Just now, His Highness was in the cold palace..."

"He committed suicide in fear of guilt."

Gu Yuan froze in place.

He raised his head, and opened his mouth with trembling lips in disbelief:

"you say……"

"what?"
