Because of the incident of the Heavenly Dog swallowing the Sun, people in various government offices were in a panic and had no intention of doing their work.
After leaving the court, Minister Gu did not even go back to the government office, but went straight back to Gu's mansion.
The people in the Gu Mansion are also uneasy at this moment.
The Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun not only had an impact on the imperial court, but also had a significant impact on ordinary people.
The heavenly dog swallowing the sun is an ominous sign, foreshadowing a disaster, either natural or man-made, or even a change of dynasty.
I would rather be a dog in a peaceful time than cause chaos in the world.
It is not surprising that ordinary people, who are accustomed to the prosperity and stability of the capital, feel fear.
Minister Gu returned to the house and drank half a pot of cold tea in one gulp. Only then did his face regain color.
"Why did you come back at this time, Master?" Mrs. Gu asked with a pale face.
Minister Gu wiped his sweat, glanced at his wife, and sighed, "We almost got into big trouble."
"What happened?" Mrs. Gu looked nervous.
Minister Gu shook his head and said, "Don't ask too much about the affairs of the court."
It was a blessing in disguise that the Heavenly Dog Tunri arrived just in time. If it had been a moment later, he would have spoken his words of advice.
That's it!
Seeing this, Mrs. Gu stopped asking questions and said in a soothing voice, "I'm glad you're alright. Has the master had breakfast?"
The palace provided meals for officials who attended court, but they had to wait until the court was over before eating. Madam Gu saw that Minister Gu came back so early, and encountered such an ominous event as the heavenly dog swallowing the sun, and she was afraid that no one would remember to eat in the chaos, so she asked this question.
"Not yet."
"Then I'll ask the kitchen to send some food over."
"I have no appetite." Minister Gu refused, but then changed his mind, "Forget it, let the kitchen send some braised pork elbows, steamed meat, etc."
Mrs. Gu was stunned.
Isn't it too fast for Mr. Master to change his mind? He just said he had no appetite, and now he wants to serve pork elbow in sauce?
"Master, it's hot, eat these--"
Minister Gu looked at Madam Gu deeply and said earnestly, "Don't ask too much about what's going on outside. Just bring it here."
Braised pork elbow and steamed meat are delicious dishes. It is said that the prince had diarrhea after eating these.
Mrs. Gu went out in a daze and gave instructions to the servants, falling into deep thought: the master must have gotten into big trouble, otherwise why would he be talking so incoherently? She said that the hot weather was not suitable for eating braised pork elbows, so how could she end up talking about things outside?
After court was dismissed that day, countless officials calmed down and began to sigh at Yu Jin's good fortune. Word began to spread that the new crown prince was the chosen one.
Many people's tables have added a few dishes: braised pork elbow, steamed meat, stewed pig's trotters...
Zhu Duohuan, the Five Senses Spiritual Guardian, had been in Qintian Prison for more than ten years, but had remained unknown and had almost nothing to say. Now that he was dead, even with all his magical powers, Jinlinwei would not be able to find any clues for a while.
Emperor Jingming, who had just issued an edict of guilt, was naturally in a bad mood. He kicked over the stool several times and asked Pan Hai, "Is the crown prince feeling better?"
Pan Hai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have received news from Prince Yan's Mansion that the Crown Prince is much better now."
Emperor Jingming's eyes flickered slightly.
He got sick when the heavenly dog swallowed the sun, but he recovered quickly afterwards. This kid is so lucky.
"Send the crown prince to the palace."
Not long after, Yu Jin stood in front of Emperor Jingming and said, "Your son pays respects to your father."
Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jian and said gently, "You've lost some weight."
Yu Jin's mouth twitched.
How can he not lose weight if he ejaculates more than ten times a day? His butt still hurts now.
It is said that if God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make him suffer. It is indeed not easy to be a prince. Fortunately, he has been prepared to endure hardships, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of his father and other brothers.
"My son is unfilial. I am sorry to have caused you to worry."
"I am worried, but it's good to be thin." Emperor Jingming slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
Perhaps it was because he had encountered too many bad things, but when he saw the lucky old man, he was inexplicably happy.
This prince must have been chosen correctly.
"The auspicious date for the canonization will be determined after a new supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor is selected. Don't be anxious."
Yu Jin said hurriedly: "Don't worry, my son. Just follow your father's arrangements."
Emperor Jingming nodded: "Then you can go back."
"My son, take your leave."
After Yu Jin left, Emperor Jingming asked Pan Hai, "You said that the prince avoided this disaster. Could it be related to General Xiaotian?"
He had thought about it over the past two days and concluded that it was more likely that Erniu had reminded Laoqi rather than that he happened to be sick.
You know, Erniu is a magical dog that can predict earthquakes.
But it doesn't matter what the reason is, Erniu is Laoqi's, and in the final analysis, Laoqi is the lucky one.
Without waiting for Pan Hai to give an answer, Emperor Jingming walked to Jixiang who was hiding in the corner, looked down at the white cat, and sighed deeply.
Why was there nothing wrong with his fat cat that day?
Jixiang looked up blankly, holding the dried fish in his mouth.
The man and the cat stared at each other for a while. Jixiang tried hard to swallow the dried fish, turned around and left, leaving behind a proud back.
Emperor Jingming touched his nose angrily.
Forget it. No matter how good Erniu is, he didn’t raise him. Only Jixiang is his own.
However, it will be convenient for Erniu to see him when he moves into the East Palace in the future. Maybe we can build another doghouse next to Jixiang's nest so that Jixiang can get some spiritual energy.
Emperor Jingming couldn't help but feel deep anticipation for Erniu's upcoming move into the East Palace.
After Yu Jin announced that he was well, Jiang Si went to the Yining Marquis's residence. After dealing with Su Dajiu and others, he went into the inner room to talk to the old lady of Yining Marquis.
"Is the prince feeling better?"
"Thanks to my grandmother, my grandma is now well again."
The old lady of Yining Marquis smiled and said, "The prince is very blessed. It is not all thanks to an old woman like me."
Jiang Si pursed his lips and sighed, "Ah Zhen is indeed blessed to be the crown prince, but no matter how much blessing he has, it can't stop someone from hiding in the dark and plotting against him again and again."
The old lady of Marquis Yining's face changed slightly: "Si'er, what do you mean?"
Jiang Si decided to get straight to the point. He stared into the eyes of the old lady of Yining Marquis and asked, "Grandma, you don't really think that I'm just curious about your past, right?"
The old lady of Yining Marquis's eyes flashed.
Jiang Si's tone became heavier: "Originally I shouldn't say these things to worry the elders, but now that A-Jin has become the crown prince, if he is not careful, he may be killed, so I have to tell the truth. The Qintian Supervisor designated the day when the heavenly dog swallowed the sun as the auspicious day to enthrone the crown prince. This is not a coincidence, but someone wants to push A-Jin into a place of no return."
The old lady of Marquis Yining was shocked.
Jiang Si lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Ajin and I are one. If anything happens to Ajin, how can I stay out of it? If it were just the two of us, it would be fine, but we still have Ah Huan and relatives like you. When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact... Grandmother, please help your granddaughter."
The expression on the face of the old lady of Yining Marquis kept changing. After an unknown amount of time, she finally sighed deeply and said, "Ask me."
Jiang Si was delighted and immediately asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "I want to know the reason why my grandmother and the queen mother are at odds with each other."
