Early in the morning, Gong Yuan received a letter from Mrs. Gong, each word of which was written in detail, describing everything he had experienced in the past few days.
The news of the death of Prime Minister Gong Yuan has spread all over the world. This cheap father treated her quite well. For the sake of the original owner, Gong Yuan planned to observe mourning for one year, eat fast and chant Buddha's name.
According to the plot, everyone in the Gong family will not end well, especially Mrs. Gong who has been in a comfortable circle for a long time. She also bribed the groom on the street to deliberately provoke Chu Yunning's carriage, but was hit by mistake.
I accidentally bumped into Emperor Mingwen sitting inside.
The crime of murdering the emperor was directly punished by the three Gong family members. There was no more Gong family in the world until a descendant of the Gong family appeared more than two hundred years later and became a great traitor. His status even surpassed that of the former Gong family.
Prime Minister.
"Hey!" Gong Yuan held the letter and fell into deep thought. The moon is full and then waning. The Gong family tree is so big that it attracts trouble and is involved in rebellion. Up to now, Mrs. Gong has not really realized her mistake.
"Miss, it's cold outside, please go in and have a rest." The maid Hongzhu took a cloak and put it on Gong Yuan's shoulders.
Gong Yuan came back to his senses and looked up at the sky: "There are many people whose fate has been predestined by God. How come there are some people who don't believe in evil and try to fight against God? Isn't this stupid?"
Hongzhu has a different opinion: "Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, while others have trouble even having enough food and clothing. How is this fair?"
"Huh?" Gong Yuan looked back at Hongzhu in surprise.
"Miss, if a person's fate is rough and he has to do something that violates morality to survive, can he just surrender and watch his misfortune?" Hongzhu changed the topic and said: "Isn't there a saying in the book?
Does it tell people to conquer the sky? I think that if a person lives his whole life, if he knows the outcome, he must give it a try, and he cannot live in vain."
Gong Yuan smiled: "You're not old, but you know a lot."
Perhaps inspired by Hongzhu's words, Gong Yuan immediately wrote a letter and sealed it with beeswax. She was not the real Gong Yuan, and there was no way she could replace Gong Yuan in fulfilling her filial piety in front of Mrs. Gong. She could only omit it.
Try your best to persuade.
At this time, the housekeeper's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, there is a young man coming outside who wants to take shelter."
The weather in Qingchuan is good and bad, not very good, and there are mudslides and landslides ahead, which makes many people unable to leave and have to find a place to stay in Qingchuan.
Gong Yuan frowned: "Ms. Li, our house does not accept foreign men."
"But..." Mrs. Li was in a dilemma: "That master has many guards with him. It seems that he is not easy to provoke. I really can't send him away."
As she spoke, Mrs. Li specially held up a gold ingot and said, "The visitor said he would only stay for three nights. His master is injured and will leave as soon as the road is clear. He will definitely not delay the girl's reputation."
Hearing that this person was unreasonable, Gong Yuan felt a surge of anger in his heart. He pulled up the veil and put it on his face: "Take me to see him."
She wanted to see who could be so arrogant.
As expected, there were several luxurious carriages parked outside the door. A man dressed as a housekeeper came forward and said respectfully: "I'm really sorry to disturb you, miss. Because it has been raining heavily these past few days, there is no room in the front, rear and all around.
I would like to thank you sincerely for your convenience, Miss."
Gong Yuan lost half of his anger when he heard the other party's tactful tone, and just looked into the carriage in front of him.
"What's the last name of the person inside?"
"Guan." The housekeeper said it directly without hesitation. Gong Yuan hesitated for a moment. This surname was very unique. She vaguely remembered that the young prince Wang of Nancheng who had been living in exile was named Guan before he was found. The book said that he had suffered from cough all year round.
disease.
"Ahem..." A burst of coughs suddenly came from the carriage. Gong Yuan's mood was unclear whether he was surprised or happy.
This young prince will inherit the title of Nancheng Palace in the future. Later, after King Nancheng became the emperor, he became the prince again. In the end, he became the overlord of one side.
If she could save the future emperor, Gong Yuan swallowed nervously.
"Miss, my young master is just an ordinary businessman. He is just staying temporarily and will not disturb the elegance of the lady. You can rest assured." The housekeeper was worried that Gong Yuan would refuse. This was already a dozen homes they had walked through, and they were really overwhelmed.
I was so desperate that I had no choice but to ask Gong Yuan for help.
Gong Yuan seemed to have thought of something. She remembered that the script said that the Crown Prince met Bai Yueguang, who was in his heart, because they were living together, and the two developed feelings. At this time, the Crown Prince had not been retrieved by the Nancheng Palace. The identities of the two people
They were almost in love with each other, and soon they worshiped Heaven and Earth and became husband and wife.
But since the Crown Prince was recognized, his identity gradually changed. Later, when the Crown Prince became the crown prince, the girl had no choice but to be a concubine because of her family's lack of background. She became pregnant many times and failed to keep the heir, and was eventually assassinated and depressed.
Unhappy, he died after a few years.
The concubine’s surname is Shen!
Gong Yuan's little face turned pale in vain. After leaving the palace, in order to hide from others, she changed her name to Shen Bi!
Could it be that the concubine who was killed was herself?
Gong Yuan was so nervous that his whole body was shaking.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Hongzhu noticed something was wrong with Gong Yuan and immediately supported her. The owner in the carriage heard the movement and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, revealing a stunning face with a pale face and curled up.
He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. After he finished coughing, he smiled apologetically at Gong Yuan: "I'm really sorry for disturbing you. If it's inconvenient for you, miss, then forget it."
Gong Yuan stared at the young man's face. If Emperor Wen was a gentle and gentle man, then the man in front of him was a delicate, gentle and a little evil young man, exuding a pitiful temperament.
"Saving a life is worse than a seven-level pagoda. The weather is cold and the young master has caught a cold, so why not take a rest for now."
Gong Yuan agreed to the request and ordered Lady Li to clean up the wing as soon as possible.
"Thank you, miss."
Gong Yuan waved her hands, holding up her skirt and crossing the threshold with a complicated expression, holding a cup of tea, her fingertips clenched until they turned white.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Hongzhu asked.
Looking at Hongzhu, I remembered what she just said: "You just said that if a person knows his own destiny,
, if the ending is tragic, then you must fight hard so that your life in this world is not wasted?"
"Yes." Hongzhu nodded. She didn't understand why the young lady asked such a strange question.
Gong Yuan suddenly thought of Chu Yunning. According to the script, Chu Yunning would never become an official in the court, and Emperor Mingwen was destined to die young and would not have any heirs.
But everything has changed.
With a living example in front of him, Gong Yuan's heart suddenly beat violently, and he lowered his head and glanced at the letter in his hand.
This letter was originally written to Mrs. Gong, to persuade her not to go against Chu Yunning, and also gave her several methods.
But now, the existence of the palace lady will affect her identity in the near future. Nancheng and Nanduan are two neighboring countries, which are not friendly, and a war will soon break out.
So this time Gong Yuan was selfish.
She reached out and tore the letter into pieces. Hongzhu was surprised, "Miss, isn't this the letter you want to write home?"
"From today on, you are not allowed to reveal anything about the South End to the outside world, and no letters from home are allowed to reach me."
Hongzhu was puzzled, but seeing Gong Yuan's solemn expression, she immediately nodded: "Don't worry, young lady, I understand."
Gong Yuan thought for a while and wrote the last letter home, reporting to Madam Gong that she was not feeling well and had been ill. The doctor said she only had a few days left to live, and he only asked Madam Gong to take good care of herself.
"Send this away."
"yes!"
…
After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Gong finally received the letter from her family. She couldn't wait to open it and took a look, and her expression suddenly changed.
"Mother, what did the second sister say?"
"What can she say?" Madam Gong gritted her teeth: "She can't even protect herself and can't take care of us at all. The letter said that Chu Yunning is not someone who brings harm to innocent people. You must not stab someone in the back, otherwise she will find out.
I will never forgive easily."
She has raised two daughters in total. The eldest daughter is her pride, but the younger daughter has a weird temper. She does not fight or grab, and she often says some incomprehensible words, which makes Mrs. Gong unable to bring people into everyone's sight.
You can only find a master to teach you privately.
"She is so smart, why is she afraid of a bitch like Chu Yunning? She didn't fight for anything in the harem, but now she can't even save her life. She deserves it!" Mrs. Gong thought of her daughter visiting Chu every day in the harem.
Yun Ning did not help her eldest daughter at all, and she was holding back her anger. Therefore, her younger daughter was sent out of the palace to recuperate, and she didn't even bother to look at her.
This letter became the last straw that broke the hearts of Mrs. Gong and Gong Yin. Both of their faces were gray at the moment.
At noon, Chu Yunning arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion on time, and thoughtfully took someone to help with the move.
Mrs. Gong wanted to cheat, but when she thought that the other party was a doctor, she moved honestly.
"I wonder where the new house is?" Madam Gong asked.
"That's the one on the street at Xinchengkou. Madam, don't worry, it's been cleaned inside. Just bring your bags and move in."
The new house is in completely different directions from the current one, which is south and north. The house is almost out of the official residence area and in front of the merchant area.
To use what Mrs. Gong said before, it smells like copper.
"Is this arranged by the emperor?" Madam Gong stared into Chu Yunning's eyes and asked, sighing in her heart that the emperor was really cruel and ruthless. He drove away orphans and widows before their bones were cold, and he was not afraid of retribution in the future.
Chu Yunning nodded happily: "Of course, how dare I pretend to pass on the imperial edict? Madam Gong, you have to be more flexible and move out as soon as possible before it gets dark."
Perhaps because he had brought enough helpers, the things were quickly packed away. Chu Yunning said loudly: "No one is allowed to touch what belongs to Madam Gong. If I find out, I will not take it lightly!"
Madam Gong curled her lips when she heard this. Who was she showing off to?
It took a full three hours to plunder almost sixty large boxes of clothes, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and filled ten carriages.
"It's already getting late. Isn't Chu Shang Palace in a hurry to enter the palace to report back?" Mrs. Gong asked. She wanted to do something several times, but unfortunately the other party didn't give her a chance. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at her, but she couldn't find any chance.
.
I'm so angry!
"My mission is to personally send Mrs. Gong to her new house to see if there is anything that Mrs. Gong doesn't adapt to. I can ask someone to add and modify it as soon as possible to save the trouble in the future." How could Chu Yunning not see that Mrs. Gong didn't adapt to it?
His little idea was to take her away so that he could get his private money.
After struggling for so long, Chu Yunning was just waiting for this moment, so how could all his efforts be wasted.
Mrs. Gong moved her lips, but had no words to refute, so she could only look at Gong Yin. Gong Yin had suffered twice at the hands of Chu Yunning and did not dare to speak nonsense easily.
Seeing Mrs. Gong's dillydallying, Chu Yunning gave up and asked people to move the small kitchen as soon as possible.
"Madam, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch dinner in time. The cook over there is already preparing it. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Mrs. Gong's eyes immediately turned red: "This is the home I have lived in for decades. I can't bear to leave for a while. I want to stay and see it for a while. Chu Shang Palace won't be so unkind, right?"
This reason was reasonable and reasonable, so Chu Yunning had no choice but to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman, ask someone to make tea, bring a chair and sit down, looking up at the bright moonlight.
"I can understand Madam's thoughts. It's human nature. I can wait slowly with Madam."
When Mrs. Gong saw this, her nails almost dug into her hands, forcing herself to stay rational: "This may be the last night I stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I want to be alone for a while and trouble Chu Shang Palace to be accommodating."
Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment, drank most of the cup of tea before standing up and clearing his throat; "Look what Madam said, how could I not agree? Since Madam has this request, I guess there is no need to keep anyone around."
Come on, someone’s coming, everyone, please step back!”
Without anyone to help, she wanted to see how much Mrs. Gong could take by herself!
"You!" Mrs. Gong's face changed slightly.
"It's a long night, please don't catch a cold, madam. We are waiting for you in the outer courtyard." Chu Yunning slowly put his hand on the small of his back and walked towards the door. Not one more slave was left behind, and all of them were sent away.
The breeze blew up the white sails on the corridor, and Mrs. Palace was so frightened that she immediately called out to Chu Yunning: "Chu Shang Palace, please stay. It's futile to stay and see for a while. It's better to leave."
Chu Yunning was surprisingly patient today, and he didn't mind Madam Gong's tossing back and forth. She nodded and agreed with a smile: "That's fine, Madam Gong can invite me here."
More than a dozen carriages left the Prime Minister's Mansion together. As soon as they left, Chu Yunning became rude and gave an order: "Search for me. Be sure to search carefully. Don't miss any corner, especially if you are looking for
Find out if there is a secret passage or something."
"yes!"
After staying up most of the night, Chu Yunning was still very excited. She heard Emperor Mingwen say that the gold mine had been mined for ten years, and the Prime Minister must have hidden a lot of it. Mrs. Gong and Gong Yin took away only
A drop in the bucket.
The real treasure must still be left in the Gong family, otherwise Mrs. Gong would not linger and refuse to leave.
