The next day, Xianlu opened her eyes, saw the familiar drapery, and smiled. Tears flowed from the smile.

She thought she would never wake up. Unexpectedly, Gu Jinyan really did not have the idea of ​​leaving his son to his mother. It's not that she treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but Gu Jinyan is a great person, and she has no affection with her. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for her to accept a wife like her, even if it is only open-faced. Therefore, she would guess that Gu Jinyan wanted to hide the difficulty of the child, and then married her back, and once she gave birth, she would die.

It's not that she doesn't want to live, she just understands that she is a woman who has fallen into the dust, and her future will not be good. Therefore, she was willing to risk her life for the child.

"Young Mistress, you are awake." Zhishu found that Xianlu was awake and lifted the curtain.

"Where's the child?" Xianlu quickly wiped away her tears and asked.

"The young master is in Yan Yan's house." Zhi Shu said, he helped Xian Lu up from the bed, and put a pillow on her back. Afterwards, he brought warm tea to Xianlu to rinse his mouth.

At this time, Yan Yan came in with the child, followed by Zhili who was carrying the food.

"Auntie." Xian Lu's eyes kept staring at the child in Yan Yan's hands.

With a smile on her face, Mama Yan bent down and put the child in front of Xian Lu, "This child is very good."

Xian Lu reached out and wanted to hug.

But Mammy Yan stood up straight and said, "I didn't eat last night, so let's eat something first, and then breastfeed the child." The child just fed rice soup. But it hurts her. If I knew that I would give birth prematurely, I prepared the nurse in advance.

Although Xianlu wanted to hug her son very much, her stomach was rumbling unsatisfactorily at this time, so she could only eat something first. When Gu Jinyan came over, Xianlu had already fed her son

. "Husband!" Xianlu remembered and saluted. Gu Jinyan raised his hand and pressed it down, indicating that she didn't need to be more polite.

"You go out first, and I will talk to the lady." Gu Jinyan said to Yan Yan and the others.

Wait for Yan Yan, Zhi Shu and Zhi Li to exit the room. Xianlu solemnly said to Gu Jinyan: "Thank you! Gu Juren." Thank you for giving her a stable life, thank you for not leaving her son to her mother.

Gu Jinyan smiled and didn't answer, but picked up the child sleeping beside the bed and said, "This child, I named him Gu Zongxi." This name was actually given by Eunuch Guangzhong.

"Thank you!" Xianlu showed a grateful smile. Without Gu Jinyan, her child would only be knocked out by the mother in the building with a bowl of medicine.

"Do you want to feed the baby yourself, or do you want to hire a wet nurse?" Gu Jinyan asked Xianlu.

"Can I feed it myself?" Xianlu asked, as far as she knew, only ordinary people would feed it by themselves. Now that Gu Jinyan is recruiting people, maybe it will be a jinshi who will become an official soon. Such people are all hired by nurses.

"Feed if you want!"

"Thank you!" This has been said three times, but this is the only thing she thinks of now.

Gu Jinyan looked at Xianlu's fake face, if it wasn't for Yan Yan to cover, it would have been exposed yesterday. "Have you ever thought about leaving and getting married again? If you want, I can let you leave with a fake death. Of course, the child has to stay."

Xianlu shook her head, "Gu Juren, I am very satisfied with my current life and don't want to leave. One day, you have a girl you like and want to marry her, and I will leave." If there is such a day, she will leave. It's not that she left her child ruthlessly, but only in this way can the child be well.

The children's wash three banquet was quite lively, and Gu Jinyan invited many students from the same department to come. Well, Li Yan is also here, looking forward to the post.

...

Gan Ming Palace

"Where is my son?" The emperor couldn't bear to be excited. He couldn't sit still, and stood up excitedly, holding a jade pendant in his hand. Just now, the uncle told him that he had a prince who was left behind in the people.

"Back to the emperor, it's all the slave's own guess. There is no evidence. I hope the emperor will forgive me." Yan Yan trembled and knelt on the ground.

King Su smiled slightly, looked at Mammy Yan, and said, "Mammy Yan, repeat what you said to this king before." Today Mammy Yan took the jade pendant to the mansion to ask for a meeting, and he listened to Mammy Yan tell the whole story. I also felt that this Gu Jinyan might be the prince left by the emperor to the people, so he hurriedly brought Yan Yan into the palace to meet the emperor.

There is a reason why he is so active. King Qi relied on his brotherhood with the emperor, and he did not give him the face of the emperor at all. Therefore, he was most reluctant for Prince Qi to ascend to the throne. If Gu Jinyan is really the prince, then he has made a contribution, and Gu Jinyan will be grateful to him. If Mama Yan made a mistake, it was none of his business, he just brought Mama Yan into the palace. Mammy Yan took a deep breath and said, "The servant's surname is Yan. She used to be a maid of the Imperial Garden. After she left the palace, she worked as a nanny for the second young lady at the Wailang Mansion, a member of the Ministry of Rites. The second grandniece came over in early September last year. On the fourth day of the fourth day, the slave took her to Yuanshan Temple to set up a tablet for her parents. In the back mountain, she happened to rescue Gu Jinyan, a student from Suzhou who was bitten by a snake. Gu Juren was grateful and proposed to marry the slave's grandniece. As a wife. Since it is very inconvenient for the grandniece to live with the servants in the Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, the wedding date was hastily set a month later." The emperor was impatient to hear this, his brows were frowning, but he still resisted not fighting. break. This is the most patient time since he ascended the throne. When he was in court, he was impatient to hear the courtiers say that the government was directly interrupted.

"The slave's grand-niece is fortunate. After marrying, she became pregnant. Since all of Gu Juren's elders were gone, and there was only one twin sister, Gu Juren found a slave to take care of the pregnant grand-niece. It happened at that time. The second lady no longer needs slaves to get married, so slaves agreed to Gu Juren's request. At the end of last year, slaves saw the jade pendant, and the quality of the jade pendant was not ordinary, not like what a juren from a poor family could have. When I was curious, I looked at it carefully and found that the jade pendant could be opened and contained your private seal of the emperor. The slave took the jade pendant to ask Gu Juren and learned that it was given to him by Gu Juren's mother Tian Shi before his death. These few Yue, the slave servant made clichés intentionally or unintentionally, knowing that when Tian Shi handed the jade pendant to Gu Juren, he said that it was his father's jade pendant, so he should keep it well. But it's very strange, Miss Gu doesn't know about the jade pendant." Yan Yanmao Stopped here.

"Go on." The emperor listened anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the next words are just the slave's guess. The slave doesn't know whether to say it or not." Yan Yan said carefully.

"I told you to say it."

"Yes yes yes!" Yan Yan kowtowed three times before continuing: "Gu Ju and Miss Gu say they are twin brothers and sisters, but they don't look alike at all, Tian Shi She also favored Miss Gu even more, and did not hesitate to delay Gu Juren's reading, and let Gu Juren teach Miss Gu to read and write. Therefore, the slaves boldly guessed that Gu Juren might have been adopted by Tian's." The

emperor touched his head and couldn't understand.

King Su saw the emperor's confusion and explained: "Your Majesty, in ordinary people, the son is the most important thing, and it is impossible for the daughter to delay the son's study. Therefore, there is only one explanation for Tian's behavior, that is, the daughter is more important than the son. , what happens, it must be that the son is not his own." Tian asked his son to teach her daughter to read and write because she remembered that her husband once said that he would teach her to read, but after the flood, they began to flee. It's gone, it's gone.

The emperor nodded and said to Yan mama, "Go on."

"Gu Juren is now eighteen years old. My servant remembers that nineteen years ago, the emperor was in Suzhou. If a woman who was favored by the emperor was lucky enough to be pregnant, The time is right."

"Yes, I was staying at the Suzhou prefect at that time. I seem to have given this jade pendant to a woman." The emperor scratched his head and thought hard, but he just couldn't remember what the woman looked like. He only remembered that he was favored at that time. Many women, what those women look like, have all forgotten. "Your majesty, this is all speculation by the servants. Therefore, I dare not tell anyone. For the past four months, the servants have been struggling very much. If Gu Juren is really the prince, and the servants have doubts but do not report it, he will not be able to report. Recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestry, then death is not enough to justify the crime. But the slave maid was worried that she guessed wrong and made the emperor happy. Until five days ago, the slave maid's grandniece gave birth to a boy. Looking at that child, the slave maid Gather up the courage to find King Su and explain the situation." "Uncle Huang, hurry up and pick them up into the palace." The emperor was very surprised, the jade pendant belonged to him, and the time and place were right. Gu Jinyan might really be his son. It is said that he is the Son of Heaven, blessed by God, how could he have no heirs. It turned out to be left behind. "Your Majesty, the prince has to be cautious. It's better to check this matter first." King Su said. This Yan Yan was brought into the palace by him, and this matter must be verified. King Su saw that Yan Yan had selfish intentions, for the sake of her grand-niece and great-nephew, and wanted to seek a fight for wealth. Otherwise, he would not take the risk to come to him. After all, once this matter is wrong, he will bear the anger from the emperor and him. Hearing what King Su said, the emperor calmed down a bit. Yeah, it's just this mammy's guess. Thinking of this, the emperor shouted outside the hall: "Qi Fu, go find Guang Zhong." Eunuch Qi Fu outside the hall, before answering, Yan Yan hurriedly said, "Emperor, this servant still has something to say. Miss Gu looks a bit like Eunuch Guangzhong." "What did you say?" The emperor suspected that he had heard it wrong. King Su also looked at Mammy Yan, but Mama Yan didn't tell him about it. "Miss Gu looks a bit like Eunuch Guangzhong." Yan Yan repeated. "Tian Shi, where are you from?" the emperor asked.

"People from Xiahe Village, Yangzhou. Nineteen years ago, they fled to Suzhou and separated from their husband Gu Zhong. Soon after, they were diagnosed with pregnancy. That's all the slaves know." Yan Yan replied.

Gu Zhong from Xiahe Village, Yangzhou? The emperor touched his head, isn't this Guang Zhong?

"Uncle Huang, I'll leave this matter to you to check. Mammy Yan, you should bring it back to the manor first." The emperor handed over this matter to King Su and no longer arranged with Eunuch Guangzhong.

"No!" King Su ordered.

When King Su left with Yan Yan, the emperor said to the air, "Ying Yi."

"The servant is here!" The dark guard in black flashed out.

"You heard what happened just now, go check it out." The emperor ordered.

King Su and Guangzhong have always been at odds, so how could it be such a coincidence that Guangzhong was involved? Once Guangzhong was involved, he would not let Guangzhong investigate again. Wouldn't this be arranged by King Su? After all, Yan Yan was brought by King Su.
