Chapter 552 The wife's gang is unhappy, and the family is unhappy
The tears were gone, but Gu Yu's voice was still a little hoarse as she said, "Didn't Guan Yan get sent out by you to check on me?"
Guan Yan was a skilled martial artist and had always been with Junze. He suddenly disappeared and disappeared for such a long time. Gu Yu naturally became suspicious.
Junze didn't deliberately hide it from her. Gu Yu found out after checking that Guan Yan had gone to Sunset Pass.
Junze rubbed Gu Yu's eyes with his thumb pads and said, "If you don't want me to check, I'll ask him to come back."
Gu Yu said: "Ask him to investigate. Guan Yan is very capable. If I can really find some clues, I will tell you the whole truth."
Junze said: "Okay, I will face it with you."
Gu Yu buried her head in his arms and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, you won't face it with me, but I will face it with you."
Junze understood Gu Yu's hint.
Ever since he learned about the cause of his aunt's death, Junze couldn't use ordinary people's thinking to speculate on Sheng Shang.
Junze knew that people's hearts are ugly, but in order to consolidate his position, the Holy Emperor killed his wife and framed the blame on his adoptive mother, and also blamed his own parents and children, which still made Junze's hair stand on end.
Thinking about Gu Yu's inexplicable hatred for the Holy Sage, it is impossible for Junze not to understand.
Guan Yan Fei Ge came back with a message saying that he had discovered something extremely important at the border.
It was difficult to understand the few words in the letter, and I was worried that the letter would fall into the hands of others, so I had to rush back to speak in person.
Counting the days, he will be back soon.
For some reason, Junze has been filled with fear deep inside his heart.
Afraid that the past will be unbearable to look back on, and afraid that the truth will be too cruel.
And he himself added new wounds to Gu Yu's already scarred heart.
Junze held Gu Yu tightly in his arms and said, "I will face it with you."
----------------------------------------
New Year's Eve arrived in Kyoto amidst the heavy snow.
This year was not a good one for the Holy Father, but he still held a grand New Year's Eve banquet.
Many things have quietly changed.
Although the position of queen is vacant, the imperial concubine sits on the lower side of the dragon chair, as if she is the lord of the palace.
The Queen Mother took off the plain clothes she used to wear when visiting Buddha, and put on the phoenix crown prescribed by the Queen Mother, making her look rich and noble.
The seats for the princes start directly from the sixth prince. It seems that the Holy Emperor has completely accepted the fact that the fifth prince has become a monk.
The Ninth Prince, who was only five years old, was surrounded by many people, even though he didn't understand anything yet.
Junze, who had been recuperating at home for a long time, finally showed up and walked into the palace with the eldest princess. However, he was not as showy and unrestrained as before, and he could not even cross his legs while sitting there.
On such an important occasion, if he doesn't trouble others, others will naturally not trouble him.
As soon as Gu Yu came in holding Ji Miaoxian's hand, she felt a strong gaze cast on her.
Gu Yu turned around and found Junze looking resentfully at the hands she and Ji Miaoxian were holding.
Gu Yu wanted to let go, but was held tightly by Ji Miaoxian.
Ji Miaoxian hated the fact that iron could not be made into steel, so she made a pun and said: "If your wife is not strong enough, your family will not be prosperous."
Gu Yu whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Having said that, I still let Ji Miaoxian take the lead.
Not far from Junze, Mr. Lin from the Ministry of Rites came over and exchanged a few words with Gu Yu.
Mrs. Lin saw the sticky look of Gu Yu and his wife, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Young Master Gu and his wife are such a loving couple that they envy others."
Ji Miaoxian bowed her head shyly and snuggled next to Gu Yu, acting like a little daughter.
Gu Yu felt the resentful gaze falling on him become even stronger.
After perfunctory with Mr. Lin, Gu Yucai bit the bullet and took a seat.
But that line of sight still passed through the layers of people and landed on her accurately.
Gu Yu wanted to pretend not to know, but Ji Miaoxian kept causing trouble.
Sometimes he would hold a wine glass to drink with her, sometimes he would feed her cakes, and he would wipe the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.
This caused Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin to follow suit.
Mr. Lin said: "We are already an old married couple, why are we doing this?"
He blamed Madam, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, so he opened his mouth and ate the fruit fed by Madam Lin.
Gu Yu was pestered by Ji Miaoxian, and Junze was drunk with jealousy.
We sing and dance like this every year, nothing new.
Soon it was time to pay New Year's greetings. The fifth prince was not there, but the sixth prince stood up.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the sixth prince looked very haggard. Even for such an important occasion, he could not be in high spirits.
Gu Yu knew why.
Junze was very worried about what the sixth prince did at the fifth prince's wedding, so he couldn't do it openly, but he did a lot of things.
In the past, when Zheng Yuanlang's death was mentioned, everyone thought it was the fifth prince's doing, and that Di Tai took the blame for the fifth prince.
Once something happened at the fifth prince's wedding banquet, everyone no longer believed in the innocent face of the sixth prince.
It happened that there was news that the Sixth Prince's Mansion was haunted.
Someone heard a child crying in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, with a shrill voice, claiming to be the ghost of Zheng Yuanlang, and came to demand the life of the murderer.
Zheng Daru, who had already retired and returned to his hometown, unexpectedly said that his grandson had given him a dream and that the murderer was the sixth prince.
There were already many doubts about what happened back then, but now that they have been exposed one by one, public opinion is aroused.
The sixth prince's already difficult life was made even worse.
Gu Yu acquiesced to Junze's approach.
Looking at the appearance of the sixth prince now, I don't know whether he is disturbed by ghosts or trapped by a hopeless life.
The sixth prince followed the usual practice and said to his sage: "My son, I wish that my father will be blessed with great blessings and live as long as the heavens. I wish that Yu the Great will make the seas and rivers clear, and that he will have good times and good fortune."
The Holy Emperor couldn't help frowning when he saw the haggard appearance of the sixth prince.
People are like this. Once upon a time, when the fifth prince was in the palace, the Holy Father felt that the fifth prince was violent and arrogant and lacked grace.
Now that the fifth prince has left the palace, the Holy Father thinks of the good fortune of the fifth prince again and feels that everything is wrong with the sixth prince.
But on such a good day, the Holy Father didn't say anything, waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
When the young Ninth Prince came up, the Holy Master's face softened a little.
The Ninth Prince will be five years old after the Chinese New Year. He has a plump face and smiling eyes, making him look very lovable.
When he came up, he kowtowed to the Holy One and said with a smile: "I will not say those auspicious words that Brother Sixth Emperor said."
Everyone thought this was strange.
The Holy One also said: "Why don't you tell me?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said in a strange way: "Because my father was blessed with prosperity and longevity, and the Yu Dynasty was blessed with clear seas and rivers, and good times and good years."
These words could be said to be disrespectful to the Sixth Prince, but they were said in a clever way.
Gu Yu went to see the Sixth Prince and found that the Sixth Prince had his head lowered, his body hunched, and unresponsive.
Even if the Holy One knew that these words were false flattery, he would still be happy.
Concubine De on the side suddenly said: "The Ninth Prince can speak, I don't know who taught him."
Concubine De followed the imperial concubine and returned to her original position from Li Liangyuan this summer.
She always said whatever she wanted, and the Holy Father didn't care about her.
But Concubine Rong Gui, who had been favored recently, was not happy. Concubine Rong Gui said: "Look what Sister De Fei said. The Ninth Prince is very talented and what he said is true. How can he be taught by anyone?"
Concubine De rolled her eyes at Concubine Rong Gui, but she would not dismantle her without looking at her.
Despite this little episode, the atmosphere in the palace was pretty good.
At this time, the Ninth Prince said again: "If my father is happy, I would like to ask for a reward."
The Holy Master said, "Oh? What reward do you want at such a young age?"
The Queen Mother, who was sitting at the top, took a sip of wine and, like everyone else, waited for the Ninth Prince to speak clearly.
The eyes of the Ninth Prince were full of innocence and he said: "I miss my mother and queen. Can my father reward me for meeting my mother and queen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn.
