Zhu Zhongjun arranged a lot of people in the palace, all of whom were in the Ganqing Palace and Renshou Palace, where the emperor and the empress dowager were located. Zhu Zhongjun did not pay attention to the Jishan Palace of Empress Dowager Tan.

He never expected that Gu Jinzhi would have the experience today.

The one named Shui Lan is the only eyeliner lurking in Jishan Palace.

Shui Lan disappeared, Gu Jinzhi was very worried, and Zhu Zhongjun outside must be even more panicked. He could not know Gu Jinzhi's safety, so he must be anxious.

Regardless of whether Gu Jinzhi's life is good or not, at least it is very important for Zhu Zhongjun and the children to know that she is still alive.

Two months later, there was a rumor that Zhu Zhongjun was going to take his concubine again. Gu Jinzhi cried when he heard this.

She cried with joy.

She heard two meanings from Queen Li's words.

First, the court wanted Zhu Zhongjun to surrender voluntarily. This rebellion had been going on for four years. The emperor had always advocated that he would annihilate Zhu Zhongjun and make the world famous. He had never mentioned the negotiations with Zhu Zhongjun.

The emperor's ambition is to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Whoever dares to rebel is a dead end, and the court will never compromise.

Therefore, the court never made peace talks.

Four years later, the emperor suddenly wanted to negotiate and wanted Zhu Zhongjun to surrender. This was probably not the emperor's original intention, but Zhu Zhongjun's power had become so powerful that the emperor could not resist.

Zhu Zhongjun is about to win.

The court knew that it could not resist Zhu Zhongjun, so it had to invite peace and catch a turtle in a jar.

Such clumsy tricks will only be deceived unless they are born into bandits and have no confidence.

So Zhu Zhongjun will not be fooled.

He could not negotiate with the court.

Secondly, Zhu Zhongjun lost the news about Gu Jinzhi, and he was very nervous. All he could do was to make a noise, saying that Gu Jinzhi was dead and he wanted to marry another one. In this way, the emperor would definitely make a statement about Gu Jinzhi. Stop him from forming an alliance with the Meng family.

At that time, he will know whether Gu Jinzhi is alive or dead. When the court sends the letter, Zhu Zhongjun compromises again and receives the letter from the court, he will not form an alliance with the Meng family and do not marry the Meng daughter. The court will think that Gu Jinzhi is true. It's very important.

If so important, the emperor would not kill Gu Jinzhi easily.

In this way, Gu Jinzhi's life can be saved.

Zhu Zhongjun took this step to declare that Gu Jinzhi is very important.

When Empress Li told Gu Jinzhi that when Zhu Zhongjun wanted to take the concubine again, Gu Jinzhi only thought of this from her words.

Her trust in Zhu Zhongjun has penetrated into her bones.

That man who was attached to her for two lifetimes will never betray her!

This is the confidence given to her by time.

Gu Jinzhi knew that it had reached the last moment. What she needed to do now was to live well and have a stronger and greater support to ensure that she must live.

In this way, the battle between Zhu Zhongjun and his son is meaningful.

They entered Beijing. Gu Jinzhi could stand at the Meridian Gate and greet them with a smile. They would also know that all efforts and hard work were worth it.

Instead of entering the palace, they saw Gu Jinzhi's corpse.

Gu Jinzhi must persevere.

"Aoxue, where are you from?" Gu Jinzhi suddenly asked Aoxue, "Are you also the prince's person?"

Aoxue's heart thumped.

Her fingers tightened.

"Princess, I am..." After a moment, Ao Xue looked up and said to Gu Jin with a frank look on her face. "I have received the kindness of Aunt Cheng. Aunt Cheng and the Empress Dowager asked me to serve in Jishan Palace. , take care of you. Unexpectedly, you arrived at Jishan Palace. Aunt Cheng told me that the Empress Dowager would cherish you the most, so that I would protect you even if I sacrificed my life..."

Aunt Cheng is Cheng Wan, the female official next to the Empress Dowager.

After the Empress Dowager passed away, Aunt Cheng did not leave the palace and returned to her hometown, but went to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb of the Empress Dowager.

Her loyalty was moved.

Aoxue is the person trained by Cheng’s aunt. Over the years, Aoxue has never been exposed at all. It was not until Gu Jinzhi arrived at Jishan Palace that Aoxue came out to take care of Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi always felt that Aoxue should be Zhu Zhongjun's person. Zhu Zhongjun started scattering in the capital eighteen years ago. Gu Jinzhi didn't know how much he sprinkled his eyes inside and outside the palace.

But Gu Jinzhi never expected that Aoxue was actually Cheng’s aunt.

Even if the Empress Dowager left, Aunt Cheng still cared about Gu Jinzhi.

This is Aunt Cheng's loyalty to the Empress Dowager.

Until today, Gu Jinzhi's tears could no longer be suppressed.

She couldn't cry in front of Aoxue, so she forced herself to endure it.

"Aoxue, thank you, thank you aunt Cheng." Gu Jinzhi held Aoxue's hand and said, "In the future, we will depend on each other and I will never abandon you. If I am not good in the future, you will save your life alone; if so,

I'm OK, you are my hero."

"The princess, my life is my aunt's life." Aoxue said, "Now, my life is yours. You need not say anything grateful. This is my duty!"

Gu Jinzhi held her hand and did not let go for a long time.

The Queen Mother's kind and gentle smile was in front of her. Her voice was warm and she said with a smile: Xiao Qi...

Thinking of this, Gu Jinzhi could no longer hold it back and tears poured down his eyes.

****

When Aoxue saw Gu Jinzhi crying, he hurriedly comforted her.

She didn't know why Gu Jinzhi cried.

"I have never been to bring incense to the Empress Dowager..." Gu Jinzhi sobbed softly.

Aoxue's eyes were hot.

The master and servant were silent for a long time.

After Ao Xue revealed her identity to Gu Jinzhi, the two became closer. Gu Jinzhi also trusted Ao Xue more and more. In the past, she also trusted Ao Xue, but she was afraid that she would guess wrongly and dared not devote herself to it.

Now, Gu Jinzhi is relieved.

Gu Jinzhi also told Ao Xue that the truth that Empress Dowager Tan might not last for two months.

Aoxue was also very active and helped Gu Jinzhi and Empress Li to help her. She told Gu Jinzhi everything she knew.

"...Sun Chenfei's family is not harmonious with Empress Li's family. The eldest prince was born by Concubine Sun Chenfei. Among the many princes, His Majesty loves the eldest prince the most, and has repeatedly hinted that the queen will not be born again.

If you have a legitimate son, you must be the eldest prince." Ao Xue's way of Gu Jin.

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "This is enough..."

Knowing the queen's situation, Gu Jinzhi knew what to do next.

She told Ao Xue to be careful not to be too obvious.

They have to be very careful every step.

Because, no one in this palace allows for mistakes.

*******

Half a month after Gu Jinzhi wrote to Zhu Zhongjun, news came from Shandong that Zhu Zhongjun had announced that his princess would not marry another person even if she was alive.

He will not marry the Meng family.

As for surrendering to Beijing, he needs to consider it. If the court can release his princess first, he will naturally surrender to Beijing and negotiate with the court.

If you are willing to consider it, you will be at a disadvantage.

Emperor Hongde was very happy to learn the news. He returned to the forbidden palace and told the Queen Li about this.

Queen Li was stunned immediately.

She was a weak woman, she didn't understand court affairs, nor did she understand military tactics. But she came from a scholarly family and read many books like a boy since childhood. At that time, the emperor asked her to persuade Gu Jinzhi to write a letter, but Empress Li felt that it was useless.

.

Who is not affectionate about men?

The rebellion of the King of Luyang requires the most military force.

This battle has been fought for four years, and the entire south of the Yangtze River has become the territory of the King of Luyang. However, further north, the King of Luyang could not move forward, and the two sides could not stand a stalemate.

Emperor Hongde and King Luyang were both exhausted.

If Meng Yanjing from Sichuan formed an alliance with King Luyang, and King Luyang went north from Sichuan and then to Luoyang, Shaanxi, it would be like capturing the back garden of the capital, and capturing the capital was just around the corner.

Queen Li felt that Gu Jinzhi's letter was probably a stone sank to the sea.

Unexpectedly, the King of Luyang actually listened.

He actually didn't form an alliance with Meng Yanjing!

Queen Li was stunned and didn't say anything for a while.

In her heart, she suddenly envied Gu Jinzhi.

It is rare for men in this world to do this for a woman. Gu Jinzhi is a blessed person. If there could be a man who is like this for Empress Li, she would rather suffer these four years.
