The next day, Gu Yu always felt that something was wrong with Junze.
The look in her eyes was so subtle that Gu Yu couldn't describe it.
When she was clearing away the dishes in the morning, her hand accidentally touched Junze, but he drew back as if he was electrocuted.
However, he spoke less and was not so irritating, which was a good thing, so Gu Yu did not delve into it.
The late wife was sent over, and Gu Yu and Jun Ze took her to a room.
She is a very beautiful woman, but in the eyes of some people, her beauty is limited to meeting the standards of a thin horse.
The wife's eyes were dull, her movements were slow, and she kept muttering:
"The heaven and earth are destroyed, evil spirits are rampant, and the goddess comes to the world to save all living beings."
Gu Yu frowned, this was not an ordinary Buddhist or Taoist spell.
What does the collapse of heaven and earth mean? What does the rampant evil spirits mean?
Who does the goddess refer to and where is she?
Gu Yu asked: "Wan Niang, do you remember Zhu Jianchun?"
The wife's dull eyes fluctuated for a moment, and she whispered: "I ask the goddess to bless Jianchun, keep him safe from disasters, and turn misfortune into good luck."
Gu Yu thought for a while and said: "Wan Niang, Zhu Jianchun is seriously injured and needs the blessing of the goddess. Can you tell me where the goddess is? I will take Zhu Jianchun to find her."
The late mother still recited those words over and over: "The heaven and earth are destroyed, evil spirits are rampant, and the goddess comes to the world to save all living beings."
Gu Yu and Junze looked at each other and walked out.
Junze said: "I have tried many methods, but she has always been like this."
Gu Yudao: "The Yu Dynasty believed in Buddhism and Taoism, but what she spoke was not the language of the two families. Is there any religion that worships goddesses here in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Jun Ze said: "There are many miscellaneous religions, but I have never heard of anyone who believes in goddesses."
"Goddess, Goddess." Gu Yu muttered these two words in his mouth, and something suddenly flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Jun Ze said: "We couldn't find it even if we searched hard. This only shows that they are very cautious."
Gu Yu thought of Yingge Yanwu. From the outside, he looked like an ordinary skinny horse, and he really didn't know how to do martial arts.
What are they trying to do by sneaking into the houses of these wealthy businessmen?
Gu Yu said worriedly: "They appeared on the canal twice in total, and each time they prepared explosives and torpedoes. I'm worried that their plans are very big. Jiangnan is already chaotic enough. If a group of people hides in the dark without knowing their purpose, let's make it difficult for them to do so."
People have to be vigilant.”
This is an era of cold weapons. The battlefield is still dominated by swords, guns, swords and halberds. Once gunpowder is not used properly, it will cause self-injury.
But the power of gunpowder cannot be underestimated.
We went out twice, once to rob food, and once to rob people. A lot of gunpowder was used.
With such a big deal, I'm afraid they have more in reserve.
The more Gu Yu thought about it, the deeper her frown deepened. Suddenly a hand touched her forehead, startling her and asking, "What are you doing?"
Junze muttered: "You are so young, why are you frowning?"
Gu Yu said angrily: "Did you listen to me? I'm telling you seriously about those people. Why are you frowning at me?"
After getting along with Junze for a long time, Gu Yu always ignored his identity as Xiaoyao King and spoke more casually. Now seeing that he was distracted, she complained unhappily: "I don't know what is going on in my head."
Junze was asking for trouble. He was a little distracted just now. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Gu Yu's face was beautiful, especially when he was serious, it was particularly eye-catching.
No wonder Gu Yu is so popular with girls that all of them are desperate to marry her.
Junze felt inexplicably irritable all his life.
Gu Yu thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he said: "If someone directly sends a few thin horses to ask questions, I'm afraid they won't be able to ask anything."
Junze said directly: "You can use severe torture to extract a confession."
At this point, there was no better way. Gu Yu was about to agree when a government servant hurried over.
"Envoy Gu Qin, General Pingnan, something bad has happened. Prince An has returned to the city that never sleeps safely, and he has also spread a shocking rumor."
The yamen servant was kneeling on the ground, shaking all over and not daring to say what the rumor was.
Gu Yu and Junze took him to a wing. Gu Yu said, "Speak quickly and I will forgive you."
The yamen servant trembled and said: "Rumors say that the medical woman who delivered the baby to the Holy One fled to the south of the Yangtze River and was rescued by Prince An. The medical woman said that she was not the daughter of the current Queen Mother, but the prostitute of Yeting, and that the Holy One was born.
If the date of birth does not match the records, he is not of royal blood, and if he occupies the magpie's nest and plots to usurp the throne, everyone will find him and kill him."
After saying this, the officer began to kneel down and kowtow, saying: "Imperial envoy, please spare my life, general, please spare your life. These words are Prince An's evil words to deceive the public. They are not the words of a humble official. I beg the imperial envoy, general, please spare your life. Please spare my life."
The expressions of Gu Yu and Junze both changed. They did not expect that Prince An would make a fuss about this matter.
Gu Yudao: "You go down first."
Seeing that Gu Yu had no intention of embarrassing him, the yamen officer asked tremblingly: "Do we want the whole city to arrest those who spread rumors?"
Gu Yu glanced at Junze and found that his expression had changed when he heard the news, but now he had calmed down and had an imperceptible smile.
Gu Yu understood that what he was thinking was consistent with hers, so she said: "I have my own opinion on this matter. You go out first and tell everyone to be calm."
The yamen officer quickly retreated.
Junze breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the stool, and said, "It's good now. I'm not afraid that the imperial court won't send troops."
Gu Yu felt a little relieved.
This rumor is a double-edged sword. It can certainly make people in the world doubt the bloodline of the Holy Sage and give Prince An more confidence to raise troops to rebel.
But it also made the Holy One feel in crisis. The Holy One wanted to save face the most and could never bear the spread of such rumors, so he would speed up the pace of sending troops to support them.
In this way, Gu Yu and Junze will not be in panic all day long because they don't know when reinforcements will arrive.
Gu Yudao: "How much does the prince know about the secrets of the palace?"
Junze had been with Gu Yu for so long that he had lost a lot of guarding and said: "The Holy Mother's biological mother was originally a slave of Ye Ting, but later she hooked up with the late emperor. In order to be justified, the late emperor doted on her, cleared her and her family's crimes, and also granted her a title.
For Yunbi."
Gu Yu thought to herself that this was indeed something the late emperor could do, and that his harem was a debauchery and disorder that could be recorded in history.
Compared with the late emperor letting his sisters serve on the same bed, seizing wives, etc., it is really not a big deal to help the daughter of a guilty minister clear her name and then make her a high-ranking concubine.
Junze continued: "It was later discovered that Concubine Yun was having an affair with a guard. When the Holy One found out, he was furious and had Concubine Yun put to death. He also raised the Holy One in the palace of the Queen Mother."
Gu Yu thought for a while and asked, "Is it really an affair?"
If it was really an affair, wouldn't the late emperor doubt the saint's bloodline?
Junze said: "I don't know whether it is true or not, but after the death of Concubine Yun, the Holy Emperor was still alive and raised by the Queen Mother, which shows that there were doubts about the matter back then, and the late Emperor believed that the Holy Emperor was his biological son."
Gu Yudao: "But when it comes to this point, it is enough for Prince An to throw out the palace secrets and make people in the world doubt the life experience of the Holy Sage."
Junze said: "Prince An is about to raise his troops. I hope the imperial army can arrive soon."
Gu Yu sighed and opened the door of the wing. Dark clouds surged in the distance, brewing a bloody storm.
