Chapter 201 Net

The day before Wanshou Festival, Gu Mansion, study.

Gu Shihai had been in the study room for almost an hour, but he hadn't even finished reading a page of the book in his hand.

First, officials who came to Beijing to celebrate his birthday came to him to give gifts. They gave very expensive gifts. But Gu Shihai guessed at just one glance that [-]% of them were birthday gifts originally intended for the emperor. Now because of the emperor's edict, Lingcai forwarded it to him.

However, Gu Shihai didn't say anything and accepted it with a smile.

Then Wen Xinzhong came with the final version of the Wanshou Festival ritual regulations to discuss with him the official seats.

Just as Wen Xinzhong left, the Gu family's secret guards came again to report the Beidi front line.

After finally finishing everything, Gu Shihai was a little tired. He told the housekeeper to stop him if anyone came to see him again, and he would rest for half an hour.

However, just as he lay down on the couch in the study with all his clothes on, the study door was pushed open again.

Gu Shihai immediately sat up, his face full of displeasure, and said angrily: "Didn't I say that I won't see anyone now!"

However, it was not the butler who came in through the door.

But it was Gu Shihai's main wife, the mistress of the Gu family, Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Liang hurried in wearing the formal attire required for an audience, knelt down in front of him, and cried: "Master! Master, you have to make the decision for us Feiyan!"

The makeup on her face was a little smudged, and there were still traces of tears on her face. It was obvious that she had cried before coming to see Gu Shihai.

Gu Shihai frowned and said: "Get up quickly, you are the mistress of the house, how is it appropriate to cry like this? What will the servants think if they see it?"

Mrs. Liang then stood up slowly while wiping her tears, and winked at the housekeeper who came in behind her. The housekeeper immediately understood what Mrs. Liang meant, and led the other servants out of the door, sealing the door tightly. Closed up.

Only Gu Shihai and Liang were left in the room.

Liang's mood had calmed down a bit and she said to Gu Shihai: "Master, I just entered the palace and met Feiyan. She..."

Liang's voice suddenly paused, her face full of sadness, as if she didn't know how to speak.

"What's wrong with her?" Gu Shihai frowned impatiently when he saw her hesitating.

Mrs. Liang took two steps towards Gu Haiwang, lowered her voice and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty has never touched her."

Gu Shihai was also shocked when he heard this.He raised his head to look at Mrs. Liang and confirmed with her: "You mean..."

Mrs. Liang looked flustered and anxious, and spoke more clearly: "That's what I mean. I have repeatedly confirmed with her today that Your Majesty has never stayed in her palace. She...she is still a baby."

After saying that, she covered her face and started to cry again: "Sir, when Feiyan enters the palace, we are not showing off her wealth and splendor. She is obviously going to be a widow! I see that she has lost a lot of weight, and I feel bad for her."

Gu Shihai did not say anything to comfort him, but withdrew his gaze and stared thoughtfully at the desk in front of him.

It had been almost half a year since Gu Feiyan entered the palace, but there was still no movement in her stomach. Gu Shihai thought that the emperor had secretly given her something to take as a contraceptive, so he asked Mrs. Liang to go into the palace to have a look.

Unexpectedly, the emperor never even touched her.

This was somewhat beyond Gu Shihai's expectation.

Based on his understanding of Ye Qinghuai, the emperor was definitely not such a positive character.Even if the emperor doesn't want a prince born from the Gu family, he should at least consummate his marriage with the queen out of basic etiquette.

What's more, in Gu Shihai's eyes, Ye Qinghuai was the greedy emperor who once stayed in Qin Baozhu Palace every night.

It would be fair to say that the emperor resisted procrastination during his first marriage, but now half a year has passed since the wedding, and the emperor has never stayed in the palace during the six months. This is no longer just a question of whether he can have children, but clearly. Humiliate the Queen and the Gu family.

Gu Shihai couldn't help but speculate: The emperor didn't even do superficial things. Could it be because Gu Haiwang was defeated on the front line, and because he had recently restrained his speech in court, the emperor felt that the Gu family was in despair, and felt that he had the ability to fight with the Gu family. ?

It seems that Gu Haiwang's failure not only made Wen Xinzhong dare to argue with him in the court, but also made the little emperor not take the Gu family seriously.Thinking of this, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and his right hand that was resting on the desk clenched into a fist.

He turned around and said to Mr. He: "Madam, don't be anxious. Since I can send Feiyan to the middle palace, I can also send her to the dragon bed."

He had known Gu Shihai for many years and knew his character and that he would do what he said, so he felt relieved, thought about it, and said, "By the way, sir, my junior brother replied to my letter a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihai immediately looked at Mr. He carefully, waiting for her next words.

"He said that the governor of Rongzhou collected your mountain ginseng."

Gu Shihai breathed a sigh of relief.This was the only good news he heard today.

He stood up and walked around the desk, walked to Mrs. Liang, held her shoulders, and said, "Madam, thank you for your trouble. Don't worry, I will definitely protect Haiwang and Feiyan."

Liang nodded.
-
On the day of Longevity Festival.

After Ye Qinghuai got up in the morning to worship his ancestors, he received a reply from Lu Yanchen that Shen Guiyi brought back from Yingwei.

Lu Yanchen revealed an important piece of information to Ye Qinghuai in the letter.

The mother of Gu Haiwang and Gu Feiyan was named Liang Yuying. She was born as a general in Rongzhou. When she was young, she studied music and martial arts under the tutelage of the old man Tian Qin of Qiushui Villa.The most important thing is that when she was at Qiushui Villa, she had a junior brother who she grew up with and was as close as a brother and sister. The two still maintain a relationship like a biological brother and sister.And her junior brother is now the military governor of Rongzhou.

Rongzhou is the southwest gateway of Dajing, and it is also the state with the largest number of troops stationed besides Yunzhou.

Because Rongzhou is adjacent to Jinchuan and Funan, it is also a place where wars continue all year round.

Because of this, the power of the governor of Rongzhou is much greater than that of the magistrate of Rongzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most influential local prince.

The relationship between Mrs. Gu and her junior brother is not related by blood, so it cannot be seen in the resume.But everyone in the army who is a direct descendant of the Gu family knows it.

In this way, Ye Qinghuai could figure out why Gu Shihai was so obsessed with Gu Haiwang.

I'm afraid the person who is really obsessed with Gu Haiwang is his wife.

What he values ​​​​is the Rongzhou army behind his wife.

Among the nine states, the governors of Yunzhou, Zhongzhou, and Yizhou were all Gu Shihai's disciples, and Leizhou was the backyard of his Gu family. If even Rongzhou fell to Gu Shihai, who else in the whole scene could do anything to him? How about that?

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered that during Du Zhengen's execution, Du Jing's concubine Qian once made a scene in the execution ground and cursed Du Jing, saying that in order to rush to be Gu Shihai's brother-in-law, he made her, the official wife of the media, give way to the later " Vixen".

According to Qian's account, Du Jing's later wife must have been Liang Yuying's sister.

At that time, Ye Qinghuai didn't pay much attention to it. He only felt that Du Jing did the ridiculous thing of doting on his concubine and killing his wife just to curry favor with Gu Shihai.Now it seems that that may not be the case.

After all, with Du Jing's good looks, he could still be the favorite of many girls in his boudoir even though he was in his 30s and had a smooth life in the court.

Is there Liang Yuying’s younger sister among these girls?
Ye Qinghuai suddenly felt that Du Jing's intention to abolish his original wife and establish a new wife might not be his original intention.

If he really spurned his first wife Qian and her son, there would be no need to risk beheading to get rid of Du Zhengen. This is really far from his usual ruthless behavior.

Perhaps, his feelings for Qian were not as bad as Qian thought.

However, only he himself knows how deep this feeling is.

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen's reply and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

She seemed to see an intricate and airtight network. This network could not be seen or touched, but it was spread in every corner of the Dajing Chaotang.
