The husband's son-in-law

In Zichen Palace.

The eighth prince Li Xu knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Father, how could I do such a heartless thing, Father, you must trust the child."

Sitting in a high position, Emperor Kang Jing looked at his son who kept crying on the ground. He was a coward, without the slightest prestige of a prince. He couldn't help being extremely disappointed. Among these princes, the one who resembled him the most was the eldest, which is a pity.

"Look for yourself." Emperor Kang Jing said indifferently.

Wang Zetian handed over the file, which was the result of the investigation by Dali Temple.

The Eighth Prince hurriedly picked it up, and when he saw the list of poisoned eunuchs, his pupils shrank——

This this.

This is indeed the person he planted, but he didn't let him be poisoned, he just asked the little eunuch to pass on the news of Zichen Palace to him, and he didn't say he was poisoned.

Above, Emperor Kang Jing had a panoramic view of the Eighth Prince's expression, "Bastard thing! If it hadn't been found out, I wouldn't know it. It's your turn to be the master of Zichen Palace."

Those in the imperial dining room, those who cook tea, and those who are on duty outside the gate.

The net is something that can't be put on the table.

"Father, my son was wronged, and my son really didn't do anything." Li Xu cried out while holding the paper, feeling flustered in his heart, how could it be so?But when he begged for mercy, seeing the coldness and murderous intent in his father's eyes, he was startled, and without thinking about anything else, he walked to the table, "Father, you believe in your son, even if he has a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare."

Emperor Kang Jing looked gloomy.

"Son, my son doesn't dare, it's just that there are a few little eunuchs and maids who want to care about the body of the emperor..."

Compared with poisoning and killing his father, spying on the emperor's trace is already a very light task.Li Xu wept miserably, and shook off the ones he bought, "...my son dare not, I really didn't do the poisoning."

Emperor Kang Jing: "Li Xu, you have claimed that you are incompetent and incompetent. I thought you knew it. I cut my mind. I didn't expect you to remember your wolfish ambition. This is a resentment. I didn't give you the seat. I took it first." For my life, when the time comes, Chu Ningyuan and those civil servants will swarm up, prompting 'the eighth prince's son's name is right and proper'..."

Li Xu was even more startled, why did the emperor know what Teacher Chu said to him?

Some time ago, a courtier wrote a letter to recommend him to be the crown prince, and the eighth prince knew it well. Later, Teacher Chu asked him to write a letter to say that.At that time, the eighth prince was unhappy, so he would have cut off his way in full view of everyone?

Teacher Chu then said: The Holy Majesty has never had any preference for a candidate for the crown prince. If one day the eighth prince is of high character and his birth mother is the queen, he is the eldest son of Dali.

The eighth prince voluntarily wrote the letter, and Mr. Chu asked him to avoid the edge for a while, leaving the other princes to fight each other and kill each other.

"Father—"

"Bastard, I don't have a son like you."

Li Xu lay limp on the ground and said, "It's not me, I really don't have one, it's Mr. Chu, he said that I'm a legitimate son..."

Emperor Kang Jing was disappointed.

Afterwards, she rushed to the Zichen Palace and was stopped outside. She could only hear the sound of the sage scolding and her son's crying inside. Naturally, Xu'er did not dare to poison her. Who, exactly, made this vicious step? piece.

……

The eighth prince, Li Xu, was banned from going out by the imperial court. He wanted to deprive him of his status as a prince, but the queen was unwilling, so she broke in and stopped her. For the sake of the prosperity of the offspring...

This suddenly reminded Emperor Kang Jing that if he hadn't established a successor, the children in the palace would not have grown up to full size in the intervening ten years, and they would either be stillborn or die innocently at the age of one or two. Only then was it suppressed.

The queen has hard work without credit.

The royal affairs should not be disturbed, especially the scandal of this son poisoning Lao Tzu.In the end, the excuse for imprisoning the Eighth Prince was not poisoning and murdering the Holy Majesty, but because the Eighth Prince went crazy due to witchcraft. On the surface, he said that for the sake of the Eighth Prince's health, he closed the door to thank guests and did not allow anyone to disturb him. The Eighth Prince was recuperating in the mansion.

How can an official fail to understand the truth of this.

The eighth prince is completely out of luck with the great position, not to mention being banned, he is still a madman playing witchcraft to the outside world, and there has never been a mad emperor in all dynasties.

The eighth prince in his previous life also ended like this. Not long afterward, a decree was issued, and the second-rank cabinet minister, Chu Ningyuan, was charged with more than ten crimes such as forming a party for personal gain and corruption. teaching workshop.

But in this life, Chu Ningyuan's fate has changed.

Emperor Kang Jing was able to raise his hand to his son and put his life in order to maintain the royal coercion. He was not so merciful to his courtiers, especially the courtiers who rebelled against the emperor. "Two Exams in Three Years [Bathing in the Holy Grace]" was slightly stopped.

Emperor Kang Jing read the manuscript, and later it was printed. The Hanlin Academy also presented a copy. Emperor Kang Jing looked through it from time to time. Those poems and articles were all written by him when he was young. Articles written by young courtiers.

Every word and sentence is to thank the Holy One, the emperor's kindness is mighty, and I will always remember it in my heart.

Emperor Kang Jing read this book, and he hated Chu Ningyuan even more. The courtiers he single-handedly promoted are now looking forward to his death and want to make a contribution to the dragon.

Chu Ning was far from capable.

There is no family or clan.

"Qiu Hou was beheaded, and his family was confiscated. His family members were not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations."

Wang Zetian here.

Emperor Kang Jing thought for a moment, "Let the second child go to ransack the house." The matter of poisoning only revealed a superficial fact that the old eighth bastard's mind is not right, but there is a saying that is true, give the old eighty one hundred courageous old eighth He couldn't do this, so he handed over Chu Ningyuan in a few words, and picked it up by himself.

This kind of thing that plays the rudder according to the wind doesn't seem like a second hand.

Emperor Kang Jing was suspicious of the second child and took a look.

Wang Zetian responded, waited for a while, and saw that the Holy Majesty had nothing to say, so he saluted and retreated to do his errands.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but Beijing is like the sky has changed. The officials above are all very serious, and the various yamen and office yards are also quiet. No one shouts loudly. drop to lowest.

Wait for the decree to come out.

Gu Zhao is now in the same office as his second brother, and when he heard whispers outside, he invited someone to ask him.

"My lord, just after the imperial decree was issued, Chu Da—it wasn't Chu Ningyuan who ransacked the Chu residence, and Chu Ningyuan asked to be executed after autumn."

Gu Zhao and Yan Jinxin looked at each other and asked them to go on and do their own business.The whole office was quiet for a while, Gu Zhao said, "Fortunately, the second brother didn't come too close."

"The last time I saw it was at the Spring Festival Poetry Meeting, and I said a few words." Yan Jinxin said a few short sentences, with an indescribably solemn expression, "I just didn't expect..."

Gu Zhao nodded. Although the second brother didn't finish speaking, he understood what was left unsaid.

It's just that I didn't expect that the idol Chu Ningyuan, who was once worshiped by all the poor students in the countryside, above the prefectural and county government schools, would fall as soon as he said he would fall, and he died.

Later, the three brothers got together and talked about it. Zheng Hui said: "Three generations of the clan are not allowed to take the imperial examination. This is—oh, it's too miserable."

"If you can't take the imperial examination, at least you still have your life. The sage is kind." Gu Zhao felt that it was a good thing for the Chu family members to stay away from the court. With the strength of Chu Ningyuan alone, he supported the entire clan for at least 30 years. These clan members were attracted to Chu Ningyuan On one person, it was bound when it was profitable, but now Chu Ningyuan is unlucky, so he will suffer.

Chu Ningyuan fell down suddenly, the big tree was gone, and the small grass and branches that were originally clinging to it were almost scattered here and there.There are a group of officials in Beijing, who were either transferred out of Beijing, dismissed from their posts for investigation, or stripped of their skins and imprisoned. More than 30 small officials were dealt with successively.

Those small officials all have one thing in common, they have no background, and their official positions are not below the fifth rank. They can be found in any department in Beijing, and even the Jinwu Guards who patrol the streets with knives have Master Chu's way.

Even Gu Zhao wanted to say "it's a pity" when he saw it, but it's a pity that Mr. Chu was in the wrong position.

Although the Eighth Prince occupies the status of the first son, it is the Empress Yuan who never forgets to be respected, including the dead First Prince. How can the living deserve to fight the dead?

From Mr. Chu, it can be seen that these big families have stood for hundreds of years, and they really have a few brushes. If Mr. Chu is not serious and does not have such a strong desire for power, he will not Such an end, but Mr. Chu is not reconciled, not reconciled to stop at the second grade.

When Gu Zhao was in the village, Lord Chu was the second rank. When Gu Zhaofu was studying in the county government school, Master Chu was still the second rank. Gu Zhao went from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and the position of Master Chu remained the same.

If you want a higher position—the chief assistant of the cabinet, you can only rely on the achievements of the dragon, or you have kindness and friendship with the sage, such as Lin Jialin Taishi, who has no real power. .

Because the sage ascended the throne at a young age, there were treacherous ministers in the court who controlled the government. Taishi Lin's father supported and taught the emperor how to govern the country and fought against the treacherous officials. Ming, and the Lin family has been standing behind the Holy Majesty and supporting the Holy Majesty in the years to come.

Buying stocks is right.

Grand Master Lin's father passed away, so Grand Master Lin took over his father's position and became a teacher for the little princes to teach the princes.

Looking at Master Chu's hard work to climb up, for more than 40 years, the second rank has been stuck, it is really incomparable.Chu Ningyuan wanted to be the second Lin family.

such a pity.

Gu Zhao later thought, if the Empress Yuan and the First Prince were still alive and had not died, the Lin family would not have had the honor of being a holy favor as they are now. It was because no one was there, and the relatives were strong, so the harem without the support of the prince would be just a false name. , do not stand in line with anyone, and be a courtier of the Holy One.

It was the beginning of August, and there was a thunderstorm, a thunderstorm of thunderstorms, coupled with rumbling thunder outside, the rain poured down, washing away the invisible filth that had been hidden in the past in Beijing.

After the rain, the sky is blue.

The Holy Majesty made two more decrees, this time it was a happy event.The first sage gave the eleven princes the title of king of the county, the king of Shun county.This is a rare thing, because among the few princes today, only the second prince has been crowned King Kang, and he is still very old. He used to fight with the emperor everywhere, and earned it with meritorious deeds. It was delayed until more than 30 years before he was named a king. .

And the eleventh prince is not yet an adult, so it is not uncommon for him to be named the county king.

The fifth and sixth princes in front are still elder brothers, and these two elder brothers are still bald princes, without any titles. With the Holy Majesty's actions like this, the eleventh prince suddenly appeared brightly.

The big guy hasn't been in love for a long time. Hearing the wind, he wants to burn a hot stove. Another imperial decree is to propose a marriage to the eleventh prince and give him a marriage. I am 14 years old this year.

Gu Zhao: ...

Is this too small?

Later, I learned that the marriage is not going to be done right now, but it is just settled first, and we will get married two years later. However, the prince and concubine of the county have to make a lot of preparations because of the etiquette system.

Beijing Zhongxin Hot Stove is supposed to be the eleventh prince, the newly released Shunjun King, but the top circle on the top of his head did not move, and he was so happy to see Taishi Lin, Taishi Lin happily replied, boasting that Shunjun The king of the county said a few good words, in which he was very satisfied with the marriage given by the Holy Majesty.

Hearing that Daoxi heard about it, he turned his back on someone when he returned home, and sneered: "The Lin family really knows how to bear it, no wonder they can be favored by one family, it's not that they recruit everything from their family and sell their daughters for glory."

First the Empress of Yuan Dynasty, then she asked to marry Princess Changtai, and now she is marrying her granddaughter to an inhumane eleventh prince, all relying on women to win favor.

The Eleventh Prince was not inhumane, so the Imperial Physician Yan went to see him, and when he came back, he replied: If he takes good care of it for a few years, maybe he can be cured to some extent.

Emperor Kang Jing was used to hearing the safety words of these imperial physicians, so he directly asked how many years and how many years he had been recuperating.

Seven or eight years, six points.

Physician Yan said that the poison was very poisonous, and it slowly festered after entering the stomach and intestines. Today's eleven princes can only take porridge and medicine to supplement slowly, and they should not be too hasty.

Anyway, don't even think about that now.

Emperor Kang Jing went to see his son. He was so thin that he didn't mention it. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. He didn't even have the strength to hold tea and cups.

When he came back, he found excuses and scolded Concubine Dai. At the age of eleven, there were only two concubines, both of which were trash. After all these years, there was no movement.

Concubine Dai was blinded by crying after her son was poisoned, and she also knew that her son would have a hard time as an heir, and she was full of regrets, because she arranged two concubines for her that day, and her son also said that he would devote himself to learning, and when he was an adult, he would be able to help his father share his worries. To relieve labor, she neglected women's sex. She felt that her son was motivated, so she didn't give him more arrangements.

I regret it now.

After Emperor Kang Jing finished scolding, he turned around and proposed Concubine Dai to Concubine Dai.

But what did Concubine Dai want to be a concubine? Her son had sacrificed his life for this concubine, so she cried again.

After crying too much, Emperor Kang Jing felt annoyed and felt unlucky, so he stopped going.

All the compensation that should be given has been given, and Emperor Kang Jing is fine.

The weather in Beijing is getting cooler, and Liji Luzhu's business has picked up. It can sell seventy or eighty ducks a day. Dai's mansion has been busy recently, and people often come to visit. There are some small banquets, and there must be about twenty ducks.

It's been half a month.

Concubine Dai was promoted to a concubine, the eleventh prince was crowned the county king, and married Lin Fu. Those who used to walk around now move more frequently, and those who didn't move much before are now coming to the door. Naturally, it is convenient to eat and drink , The braised duck is on the table.

It's not greasy when it's cold, each has its own advantages.

Li Zhou settled the accounts at the end of the week and settled the silver. When he was in the prefecture and county, he used to save a box of copper plates to exchange for silver, but now he took the silver to the largest bank to deposit it and exchanged it for silver notes for safekeeping.

After everything was settled, Li Zhouzhou put everything away.

"I will be on holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival in September. I will be on holiday for three days. I want to take you to Brother Liang's Zhuangzi to play. I asked him to borrow it." Gu Zhao said.

Their family has been in Beijing for so long, and they haven't gone out to play yet.

"I heard from senior brother that there is a temple nearby." Gu Zhao said to ghosts and gods, he believed what was good for him, and he didn't believe what he said was bad luck.

Li Zhou heard about You Temple on Monday and said, "Okay, I want to ask for a peace talisman for my family."

"Success." Gu Zhao agreed without hesitation.

Two days later, when Gu Zhao came back, he put a bitter face on Zhou Zhou, and wrapped his arms around Zhou Zhou's slender waist, Li Zhouzhou couldn't help laughing, he hugged his husband like a baby, and asked softly, "What's wrong? "

"It was originally said that our family would go there, but I showed off to him, and the eldest brother said that we would go there together, it was lively and lively."

Li Zhouzhou hugged his husband and said with a smile: "I was just about to tell my husband that this little tree came to see me. I heard that he would go to the temple to burn incense and ask for amulets during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He also wanted to go, so I agreed."

"..." Gu Zhao looked up at his wife eagerly, "Why are you like me?"

"Xiao Shuben said he asked me to ask Dabai for a peace talisman, but also said to ask for a few more, for everyone in the family. I want to ask for the talisman, but I have to go by myself. Sincerity is good, but Xiao Shu said that he doesn't need to live with senior brother Liang. , Ask if you can stay overnight in the temple, I heard you said that Brother Liang's Zhuangzi is big and open, so I agreed without any trouble." Li Zhouzhou stroked Xianggong's hair, and now he wants to raise his hand Touched.

Gu Zhao: "Brother Liang said that the place is open when he borrowed my Zhuangzi. If you like to be lively, ask a few friends to come over, not your two elder brothers and second brothers. It's just that I wanted to be intimate with you. Leave it to Dad and Mama Lan, we will secretly go to the hot springs at night."

Now it has become a big group of three families.

Do it too.

The next day, Gu Zhao went to the Hanlin Academy to report to Brother Liang again. Liang Zizhi didn't care, but he still disliked Gu Zhao's mother, and said, "I said I would lend you a favor, so go and play. What's the matter?"

Gu Zhao asked Brother Liang if he wanted to be together?

"No, I'll have a drink with the teacher."

Gu Zhao didn't ask any further questions. When I went back today, I saw two cages of bamboo baskets in the yard of my house. When I opened them, I found that they were all live crabs with legs and feet tied with cotton thread. "Zhou Zhou, did you buy that?"

"Father bought it." Li Zhouzhou continued: "Father went to listen to the book today, and happened to meet Mo, the head of the caravan. Speaking of which, he got a new batch of crabs, so Dad bought two cages and came back. I thought about sending them to the teacher. Senior Brother Liang has one basket, and the rest of the basket, shall we take it to Zhuangzi to eat?"

Gu Zhao nodded immediately, "Success, it's fresh now, let Fang Liu deliver it, and senior brother can warm wine and eat one with master at night." If it was another house, the gift could not be knocking on the door in the evening, but Gu Zhao knew that the teacher and the teacher would eat one. Brother Liang doesn't care about these red tapes.

Mother Lan asked Fang Liutao to run again.

Liang's house is far away from Li's house, and it took almost two hours to drive there. Fortunately, he came back early from get off work today. Now that he passed by, Fang Liu didn't stop to come back before the curfew.Fang Liu arrived at around seven o'clock and knocked on the door of Liang's house. The concierge of Liang's house knew Fang Liu and saw that it was a cage of crabs. Fang Liu drove away after he finished speaking.

The concierge of the Liang family moved into the house.

"Sent by the Li family? This is the order." Liang Zizhi was surprised, opened the lid and saw that they were all very big, and he was immediately happy. He ordered the kitchen to steam a few. , muttering to himself: "I'm afraid I saw crabs when I got home and brought them to me."

Junior Brother Gu is a solid hearted and straightforward person.

Seeing that there were too many crabs for dinner, Sun Mu couldn't help nodding with a smile after asking, and said, "Ziqing has such a temper, and when he gets along with you, he treats you as his own and is not very polite. It's a bit like—"

Like my younger brother Ming Yuan.

Obviously they are from everyone, but when playing with him as a senior brother, there are no rules, big or small.Seeing the teacher's expression moved, Liang Zizhi knew that he missed his younger brother, so he poured a cup of hot wine, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be reunited soon, so it would be great if his younger brother was still there.

"Mr. Crab is getting colder, drink more." Get drunk once, sleep well when drunk, and dream of juniors when drunk.

Gu Zhao went to the morning shift the next day, and was dismissed at noon—everyone was like this, so he was being lazy, this time he was serious.He made an appointment with the second brother and the eldest brother, and they went to his house first, and when they got home, his family rented a carriage and everything was packed, so did the Yan family, and the Zheng family's car was waiting early.

So they didn't stay much, the three of them got in the car and went out of the city, and walked more than 20 miles out of the city. There were golden ears of wheat on both sides. Due to the climate in Beijing, there was no rice, and the wheat was grown twice a year. Sometimes the harvest is early, and the output is not very good.

But later, with the fertilizer for the fertile fields, I am not afraid of landing on the ground now.

The scenery of the field is no different from that of Xiping Village. The rich people see the rural scenery of the farmhouse. If you are very poetic, you can write two poems that don’t care about fame and wealth and want to return to the countryside. But it’s Gu Zhao and Yan Jingxin’s turn. Look, there is really only endless wheat to cut, the back is not straight, the wheat ears are piercing people, and the sweat in the hot weather is a mixture of fatigue and fatigue.

Don't want to think about it.

"It's so good that the wheat grows strong." Li Da didn't like to sit in the carriage, he felt bored and panicked, and sat on the shaft of the carriage as soon as he went out of the city, seeing the growth of the field, he wished to put his robe on his belt, I cut it myself with a sickle, no matter what hard work, this is all food, and it can fill my stomach.

It is too late for a farmer to be happy when he sees such heavy tassels.

When Fubao came to Beijing from Xiping Village, he was still young. He only ate and slept, and had no aesthetics. Now it is different. He can speak and have aesthetics when he grows up. He knows what looks good and what looks beautiful. Flowers are good-looking, and sugar piglets are good-looking.

It used to be a courtyard of one world, but now Gu Zhao opened the curtain, and Fu Bao poked his head to look out, his eyes widened, and excitedly turned his head to look at his father, and gestured with his fleshy little finger, "Father, big tree!"

"Oh, that tree used to be really big."

Fu Bao leaned towards the window with his face poked out again. Gu Zhao heard the sound of horseshoes, and a car came from behind, so he pulled his son back. While Fu was watching, Gu Zhao pinched Fu Bao's cheek, "Call me Daddy."

"Father!" Fu Bao obediently called him.

Gu Zhao was happy, and explained to his son: "There is a sound of horseshoes outside, and you will pass by us in a while. The raised soil will make you squint your eyes." , Gu Zhao deliberately opened the curtain, Fu Bao was half head short, and Gu Zhao protected his son's eyes with his hands, even so, the dust floated in.

"Pfft~" Fu Bao spit out bubbles and looked at his father.

Gu Zhao said: "Do you believe it or not? Do you want to go over and have a look?"

Li Zhouzhou wiped Fu Bao's face with a handkerchief, and there wasn't much dust, but he didn't care about Fu Bao's teaching.

"Look." After Fu Bao spat out the bubbles and was wiped clean by his father, he regained his energy and waved his arms to ask his father to hold him and have a look again.

Gu Zhao hugged his son and went to the window to look at the scenery. After a while, there was another sound of horseshoes. Before he could take it back, Fu Bao waved his arms like a geese, and shouted: "Daddy, daddy, daddy!" .”

He meant to take him back quickly, otherwise his mouth would be dirty.

Li Zhouzhou couldn't help but laugh, Gu Zhao took Fu Bao back, the curtain closed again, Fu Bao nestled in his father's arms, his face was so dangerous that he scared Fu Fu to death.

Going out to play makes the adults happy, and the children are also novel, not to mention the children of three families get together.

Zhuangzi’s building is large and elegant, and Liang Zizhi’s is aesthetically pleasing, especially Chuzhou is in the south, and he likes to be surrounded by mountains and water. This Zhuangzi is located at the foot of a small and beautiful mountain. The Zhuangzi draws running water, which is used for bathing in hot springs, flowers and plants Wild, open and fun.

The person guarding Zhuangzi was surnamed Ma, a middle-aged man who was from the nearby Majia Village. As for why he sold himself and became a slave of the Liang family, it was a hard thing to say. In the early years of heavy snowstorms in Beijing, the houses in Majia Village collapsed. , Frozen to death, starved to death many people.

"At that time, the crops in the field were all dead, the house collapsed, and my old lady died. There were seven brothers and sisters in total. Three of them froze to death and two starved to death. Now it's just me and my sister."

Butler Ma said now that he didn’t suffer much, he was very calm, but under the calm, all the tragedies happened in the past, and later Steward Ma sold himself, “…people are worthless, especially when there is a shortage of food in famine, rich people look down on them We, the younger ones, don’t have enough food for us.”

Later, it was sold, and I struggled all the way to survive.

But the bad things haven't stopped yet, Steward Ma's sister was sold into a brothel, Steward Ma had one leg broken, and Steward Ma met Liang Zizhi later.Butler Ma didn't mention the fact that the girl was sold into a brothel. It's so rotten to the stomach. Speaking of it, the girl married far away, the man died, and the mother-in-law was mean. Later, she defected to him, and now she works as a cleaner in the village. mother-in-law.

"It's thanks to Mr. Liang for saving my sister and me." Steward Ma was grateful, if he hadn't met Mr. Liang, he and his sister would have thrown themselves into the river together to die.

Li Da sighed after hearing this, saying that life is better now, and life is hope.

"What the old man said is that Zhuangzi happens to have three courtyards, each with a pond. Rabbits and other gadgets are kept in our village. There is a doll temple on the short hill further ahead. It is the most effective way to seek children. ..."

Tang Rou took her daughter's hand and smiled when she heard Mrs. Ma say that the child of the Wailing Temple is a descendant. She had heard that there was a Wailing Temple on a short hill more than 20 miles west of Beijing, so she was not afraid to run around when she heard that she wanted to come out to play. came.

She wants to have another one.

Steward Ma, who led the gentlemen in the front, finished talking about the scene, and then said: "It seems to be deeper and deeper, and there are Zhuangzi from other big families. If the three gentlemen want to meet and visit, I can run errands and post posts, but this The Zhuangzi are usually unoccupied, and even when they arrive, they will be quiet, so it’s better not to disturb them.”

The words are decent, but they are actually advising Gu Zhao and the others not to go inside.

"Who's there?" Zheng Hui was curious, and now he has developed a temperament of listening to gossip in the Ministry of Rites.

Butler Ma said: "The Dai family, the Rong family..."

Wear?Gu Zhaoting's surname seems to be the maiden's family of the eleventh prince, Concubine Dai, and the other Rong's family, could it be the Rong's family of the birth mother of the fifth prince and sixth prince?
