Chapter 300: My biological daughter
.
What can’t be said in private?
Must it be today?
But Emperor Ying Qian didn’t think much about it. Gu Fuju always knew when to advance and retreat.
“Of course it counts.”
Emperor Ying Qian glanced at Eunuch Tu behind him.
“Help the tutor up.”
Gu Fuju knelt for
a long time. Yu Tingwan’s heart skipped a beat for no reason.
She thought the matter was over.
But it seemed not to be.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Jiashan’s eyes who was still sitting in the seat.
Jiashan said nothing, and smiled at her when the girl looked over.
It was obvious that she knew what Gu Fuju was going to do.
“Your Majesty.”
Gu Fuju: “I hope Your Majesty will reward your daughter with a title.” The
Queen Mother was delighted.
She looked at Gu Wu: “What did I say before? Your parents are afraid that you have been wronged, so they will make up for it. Now it’s here.”
Whether it is a princess or a county princess of a lower rank, not to mention having a fief, it is also very respectable to have an additional title!
Gu Wu was immediately delighted.
The boredom of the past few days faded away.
She always wanted to save face, and thought that this birthday would be privately arranged by many noble ladies.
But her father gave her a surprise.
If it were someone else, Emperor Ying Qian might have to consider it. Although the title has no real power, it is not a trivial matter.
But Gu Fu Ju has no children in his life. He is also a minister who attaches great importance to rules and is impartial.
In the early years, the empress dowager had brought Gu Wu and Wei Zhao together. Emperor Ying Qian helped with his mouth, but he was unwilling in his heart.
One is the head of the civil officials, and the Wei family is the leader of the military generals. How can the two families get along?
But now Wei Zhao has married.
Emperor Ying Qian agreed.
"Your Majesty is not joking, can I deny it?"
Gu Wu often went to the palace, and Emperor Ying Qian has always been known for his filial piety and often went to the Cining Palace.
He saw the girl of the Gu family more times than some princesses in the palace.
He was very amiable, as if he was talking to his own children, and said to the girl next to the Queen Mother: "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Your father has taken great pains for you."
"When you are still in the boudoir, he can still protect you, but you will get married sooner or later."
"When you get married in the future, in addition to your status as the daughter of the Grand Tutor, you will also have the support of the royal family. Which in-laws dare to treat you badly? Even if your husband is disrespectful to you, it will not work."
Wei Zhao understood.
This move was to guard against him.
"Your Majesty."
Gu Fuju: "It's not Awu."
He glanced in the direction of the Shunguo Mansion, his voice was hoarse but his pronunciation was clear, and he lost his previous severity and became more gentle, in front of everyone.
"It's the biological daughter of this minister and Jiashan."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Gu Wu is not the biological daughter of the Gu family?
Thinking of everything that happened not long ago, they were all stunned. His eyes wandered back and forth between Yu Tingwan and Gu Wu, who was still thinking about peeling peanuts for the Queen Mother after hearing this.
The Queen Mother almost couldn't breathe, and was shocked.
Mrs. Zhou almost fainted when she thought of the bad things she said about Yu Tingwan in front of Jiashan.
Yu Tingwan's eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, fluttering their wings and trembling slightly. Wuxia paid no attention to the countless eyes that fell on her.
There was a crisp sound of ding.
Wei Zhao gently tapped the edge of the plate with a jade spoon.
Yu Tingwan heard him say faintly.
"Three."
There was another ding.
"Two."
Wei Zhao glanced at the sky outside. He didn't count again, but let go, and the spoon slipped from his palm.
The sound of inhalation in the hall came one after another, but he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he heard the sound of quick footsteps coming from far away.
Wei Zhao tilted his head and adjusted the wrinkled hem of the girl's clothes.
He said something without any context.
"Here it comes."
What's coming?
Yu Tingwan was confused.
"Your Majesty!"
The eunuch serving in the East Palace came in a panic with sweat on his forehead, but he tripped over a corner before entering the hall and fell heavily to the ground.
"Crown Prince..."
The eunuch trembled and pressed his head to the ground.
The queen was inexplicably uneasy.
Emperor Ying Qian no longer cared about the Gu family's affairs: "What happened?"
"Speak!"
"Crown Prince... passed away."
These four words were trembling, but the weight was extremely heavy, and they smashed the not-so-calm lake surface into a turbulent wave.
Wei Zhao had carefully considered choosing this day to let Ying Yi die.
Even though Gu Fuju was his teacher, he didn't know how important Yu Tingwan was in Gu Fuju's eyes.
Anyway, the crown prince would die sooner or later.
What if. What if
the Gu family couple resolutely want Yu Tingwan as their daughter?
The girl can be the focus, but she should not be the topic of conversation among the people.
Only something bigger will happen...
Ying Yi is not in good health, but he is the master of the East Palace and is well-known for his kindness.
Seeing that Ge Lao is on the way, how can it be...
too sudden.
I am afraid that Shangjing is going to change.
Emperor Ying Qian's pupils shrank sharply and he staggered back a few steps.
The prince is his first son! He was the one who taught him personally by his side.
The queen beside him swayed and almost lost her balance.
She didn't care about anything else, she strode over and kicked her father-in-law on the head.
"Asshole!"
"I just came from the East Palace! Who gave you the courage to say that the prince was in trouble? The prince is obviously fine. Today he was in a rare state of energy and talked to me for a long time!"
Even if... even if he didn't wait for Ge Lao to treat him, didn't those imperial doctors say that he still had a few years to live!
The eunuch was kicked crooked, and he quickly knelt down again.
"Your Highness, just as you left, His Highness said he was tired and wanted to take a rest. But..."
He died.
It was obvious
that he was dying. He died peacefully
. He didn't dare to say anything more.
The life of a servant is the least valuable. It's just a reward of meat when the master is happy. If things don't go smoothly, his life will be in danger.
The East Palace is now in chaos.
Soon another palace maid ran over.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness."
"The Crown Princess fainted from grief."
The sky has been gloomy these days, as if it was brewing for today's rainstorm.
Bean-sized raindrops rolled down and hit the face painfully.
A good banquet turned into a funeral banquet, and the sad cries in the East Palace became louder and louder.
When the Crown Princess woke up again, the rain outside was still getting heavier.
She was at a loss.
But just as she was about to sit up.
The nanny who was close to the queen stopped her: "Crown Princess, please don't move, or you might upset the fetus."
"Go and call the imperial physician Jiang who has been checking my pulse."
These words were said by the queen.
The crown princess followed the thin curtain and saw the queen standing in front of the window. This was the mother of a country who was supposed to handle the funeral of the crown prince.
Imperial physician Jiang came over quickly.
As he came in, the palace door was closed.
Something happened in the East Palace, and Imperial physician Jiang was very nervous. After taking the pulse of the crown princess. He hurriedly bowed to the queen and spoke carefully.
"Although the pulse of the crown princess is smooth, it sometimes feels stagnant. You need to take care of it carefully, reduce your work, and rest your mind to take care of the fetus."
"Imperial physician Jiang."
The queen looked at him gloomily.
"You are quite knowledgeable about fetal images. When I was pregnant with the prince, you said it was a boy. In your opinion, how is the crown princess's pregnancy this time?"
Imperial physician Jiang's hands trembled on his sleeves.
It was a girl, but he had obviously discussed it with the queen.
The queen said coldly: "There is still a month to go before the birth, and it can only be a legitimate son. Do you remember that?"
————
The night was very late.
The prince died, and the whole world mourned.
Oh.
Wei Zhao didn't.
When the ministers went to mourn and burn incense, he expressed discomfort in the middle of the way.
Wei Zhao covered his chest, his face was pale and bloodless.
"Guizhi, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Huaiyan's father, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, was the first to find out that something was wrong.
Wei Zhao: "Nothing, let me send your highness on his last journey."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery scolded in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What to send?"
"What if you follow me to the underworld to send you! Take care of your body, it's more important than anything else."
"Go back first, I'll tell the emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Fuju came over.
"I'll tell the emperor, you leave the palace first."
He looked at Yu Tingwan, with too many strong emotions in his eyes.
"You were frightened today. It's raining now. Go back and drink some ginger tea and go to bed early."
These words were undoubtedly gentle.
The next moment, he looked at Wei Zhao's short-lived appearance.
His attitude faded.
His voice was deep.
"How long can you live?"
