Chapter 6 I'm going to see him
When the lover of a dream turns into a big man overnight, no matter who it is, it will be unbearable.
Wei Minghuan is no exception. For so many years, he has been relying on the belief that one day he will be able to marry his beloved woman with difficulty until today.
All of a sudden, the faith he once relied on gave him a blow to the head, which made him at a loss, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"She's actually a man?" Wei Minghuan asked again in disbelief.
Lou Diyu sighed in her heart, "Yes."
"However, my subordinates also found some other things. I feel strange in my heart, and I have to let the sixth master decide."
Wei Minghuan said seriously: "What's the matter?"
Lou Diyu recalled Gu Heng's reaction after waking up, and said slowly: "Master Heng's health seems to be not very good all the time, my subordinates checked Changting County half a month ago, and followed them all the way to Beijing, and found that Mr. Heng often had nightmares, and Accompanied by the lack of memory. It was even more obvious yesterday, and even his long-term servant didn't recognize him, as if he had changed."
"Is there such a thing?" Wei Minghuan asked with concern, "Has anyone seen it?"
"Mr. Heng didn't invite a doctor on this journey, and he carried it alone all the time, and his subordinates thought it was very strange." Thinking of yesterday's situation, Lou Diyu felt that strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't tell Wei Ming Huan made it clear, so he could only suppress it secretly.
"He has been weak since he was a child, and the Gu family has spent a lot of thought on him, and even entered the Buddhist sect to practice. If not, he would have been accompanied by his wife and children today. Why wait for me to find him?" Wei Minghuan quickly So he made an excuse for Gu Heng, in his heart this person is perfect, the pure white moonlight under the night sky.
It was also when he met him in Daning Temple back then that he discovered that there are such beautiful and kind people in this world, so that he would not lose his true nature and succumb to those dirty methods.
For many days and nights, he was thinking about that little girl, thinking that one day he would hold the power in the world, gain the greatest freedom, and then meet her with the best appearance.
Thinking this way, no matter how difficult things are, he can survive.
"He has stayed in Changting County for so many years, why did he come to the capital now?" Wei Minghuan said in a low voice, "But because of Gu Youzhi's death?"
Lou Diyu said: "Sixth Lord, I was wrong. When Mr. Heng set off, Gu Lingcheng hadn't had such a thing happen, but Prince Shun did go too far. In the past two years, he has become more and more crazy."
Wei Minghuan said coldly: "Where is he a madman? He is a wicked man!"
Lou Diyu declined to comment.
Wei Minghuan asked again: "Then why did he come back?"
Lou Diyu said: "Madam You of the Gu family is going to propose marriage to him, and my subordinates have ordered secret guards to inquire. Madam You has seen several girls, all of whom are from officials' families..."
"Is it settled?" Wei Minghuan's tone was very light.
Lou Diyu replied: "Not yet."
Wei Minghuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Lou Diyu say again: "This time when Gu Lingcheng passed away, Mr. Heng's marriage may be postponed, but he is already 28 years old, maybe the Gu family will let him get married in Rexiao. After all, Gu Lingcheng has only one son."
Wei Minghuan didn't speak after hearing this, and Lou Diyu didn't say anything either.
After a while, Wei Minghuan said: "Gu You will leave his coffin tomorrow morning, he will definitely go to the capital tonight, I will go to see him."
Lou Diyu bowed her head, "Yes."
For so many years, Wei Minghuan has been hiding that part of his longing, even Lou Diyu, who is his most confidant, has never said it.
The reason why he is so secretive is that he is worried that others will notice his thoughts and cause an irreparable tragedy to that person. For so many years, he dared not even touch or even think about it, let alone secretly listen to that person's thoughts. news.
Because he knows that without absolute power, there is no absolute freedom.He, Wei Minghuan, can suffer no matter how much he suffers, no matter how tired he is, he is impervious to all poisons, so he can't discover his weaknesses to anyone, or even hand them over to others.
It is safest to wait so carefully.
More than ten years have passed, the general situation of the court has gradually stabilized, and he has also cultivated a group of loyal forces. At this time, he dared to open his heart, hold that person out with his own hands, and tell Lou Diyu to investigate in person. .
However, even though he was so cautious, when Lou Diyu was lurking, some people in the capital were still aware of it, and even a word about the draft that he occasionally mentioned spread out of the palace, and it was widely spread.
Thinking of this, Wei Minghuan felt a headache.
"Why didn't you escort him to Beijing?" Wei Minghuan thought suddenly.
Lou Diyu's eyes darkened, "This subordinate has been discovered."
"Who can find you?" Wei Minghuan thought for a while, "Or who noticed him?"
Lou Diyu said: "Young Master Zhuo of the Changting Hou's Mansion."
Wei Minghuan understood, "The Gu family is a family of military generals, and Gu Yan's three sons are not easy-going lamps. If you are discovered, it is not considered negligence. It's just...why did he go to pick up that man himself?"
Lou Diyu said: "Perhaps it is because of Gu Lingcheng."
Wei Minghuan thought for a while, "That's right, Gu You's matter is considered a major event in the eyes of the Gu family. It's not because of Gu Heng's rebellion that the Gu family has been cold in the past few years, but because the fourth old thief has a persistent heart. The Gu family is his I can't help the prestige of the Gu family because of the support behind me, but I didn't expect the fourth child to cut off his own arm! I can't see through his thoughts, so you send someone to closely monitor Prince Shun's mansion."
"Yes." Lou Diyu replied.
Wei Minghuan didn't know what to think of, and sighed.
Lou Diyu hesitated and said, "Mr. Heng has not married for many years, maybe it is not necessarily because of his weak body."
Wei Minghuan's eyes were burning like a torch, "What do you want to say?"
With Liu Ye's intelligence, how could he fail to understand his subtext?I have to let him explain clearly, it seems that I already have some ideas in my heart.
This is also the result of years of obsession.
Lou Diyu said: "According to my subordinates' investigation, Mr. Heng was often ill when he was young. Since he returned to Changting County, his life has been as usual. It's not like the behavior of a sick child."
Wei Minghuan didn't speak.
Lou Diyu paused for a moment, then continued: "The princes of the aristocratic families in the capital are well-raised, and even when they are young, some of them get sick every three days. The Gu family has a rule not to accept concubines. The diagnosis hurts the body, and it is not suitable to conceive again, so naturally I value Mr. Heng very much."
"Since you value him so much, you should have engaged him a long time ago, but now it's been delayed for so long, presumably it's because of some other reason."
Hearing this, Wei Minghuan took two steps in silence, walked to the window, saw the red palace wall outside, and a bird flapped its wings and passed by.
After a long time, he said, "We'll talk about it after I meet him tonight."
"Yes." Lou Diyu was about to resign, when Wei Minghuan suddenly said: "In fact, the Gu family has a lot of talents, Gu Yu and Gu Zhuo are both very useful, especially Gu Heng, who is cunning and flexible. What I use... that's all, people are already dead, so it's meaningless to say these things."
"In addition to the three sons of Gu Yan, the Gu family's direct lineage is also good. There are also many people similar to Gu You in the side lineage. Changtinghou's lineage is a good minister and general in the country. If I can connect with him , It's only natural for him to get back and take care of his family."

In the middle of the night, a carriage drove to the north gate of the capital city. Seeing that the visitor had shown his token, the guard quickly opened the city gate and knelt down to salute.
Gu Zhuo got out of the carriage and saw that the general on duty at night was someone he knew well, immediately said: "You don't need to be too polite, there is Gu Lingcheng's son in the carriage, the Gu family is in mourning, I am waiting to enter the city in a hurry."
Gyeonggi Guard was originally under the command of Gu Yu, the eldest son of Gu. Most of the generals joined the army from Gyeonggi Guard. Gu Zhuo followed his elder brother in the Gyeonggi Guard camp when he was young. Not to mention all of them, he knew most of the soldiers.
The person in front of him is an old acquaintance, the youngest son of the Quyang Wang family, Wang Bingchen.
The Wang family is a scholarly family, which has produced talented literati from generation to generation, but they never thought that Wang Bingchen would suddenly appear in this generation, and he would die to join the army.The old man of the Wang family couldn't help it. He beat and scolded him in the early years. Now he has let Wang Bingchen stay in Gyeonggi Guard for seven years.
Wang Bingchen naturally knew what had happened in the capital these few days. He nodded, "The general understands, but according to the rules, Mr. Zhuo has to let the general and others check the carriage."
Gu Zhuo waved his hand, "Please go ahead."
Wang Bingchen said: "Offended."
Apart from Gu Zhuo, there was only a sleeping son and a young servant in the car.
Wang Bingchen looked inside the carriage, and then checked the bottom of the carriage, and let it go immediately after making sure it was correct.
At the same time, Lou Diyu had received the news in Habayashi Guard, and immediately went to the palace to report to Wei Minghuan.
The lights in the Nuan Pavilion of Qinzheng Palace were always on, and Wei Minghuan did not rest, as if he had been waiting for something.
Hearing Lou Diyu's hurried footsteps, he immediately stood up, "He's here?"
Lou Diyu saluted and said: "Yes, I just received the news from the dark guards that I passed the North City Gate before a stick of incense, and I should have entered Gu's residence by now."
"Then let's go." Wei Minghuan said.
Lou Diyu looked at Wei Minghuan, "Does the sixth master need to pretend to leave the palace?"
Wei Minghuan looked down at his clothes, his whole body was really exposed, "Go to Habayashi Guard first, and bring me a set of official guard uniforms."

When the carriage arrived at Gu's mansion, in the darkness of night, Gu Heng could still clearly see the powerful plaque in front of the mansion's gate, Changting Hou's Mansion.
It is said that it was mentioned by Emperor Tai-zu himself, symbolizing the glory of the Gu family.
Along the way, due to his illness and weak body, he was somewhat drowsy. Gu Zhuo also advised him to rest more. After all, after returning to the mansion, he will have to guard the spirit. Most people can't resist it, let alone one who is still ill. Gu Heng.
Back at the most familiar home, not a single plant or tree seemed to have changed a little with the passage of time, even a stone in the courtyard was still the same as before, and the nick on the stone was made by his naughty childhood.
Seeing these traces, Gu Heng couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
The light was still on in the father's study room. As a collateral descendant, the first thing he did when he entered the mansion was naturally to visit the head of the family, Chang Tinghou.
Following Gu Zhuo, seeing the study getting closer and closer, he could almost hear his father's voice at the door.
The father was not the only one in the study, but also his elder brother Gu Yu, the two seemed to be talking about something.
Gu Changye, the long-term bodyguard who was guarding his father at the door, nodded slightly when he saw Gu Heng and Gu Zhuo, and said, "I have seen Mr. Zhuo and Mr. Heng."
Gu Changye's position in the Gu family was quite high, even Gu Yu and Gu Zhuo respected him. This person only listened to the orders of Changting Hou Gu Yan, and was his father's most loyal subordinate.
Gu Zhuo hurriedly said: "Uncle Chang Ye, you don't need to be too polite, I brought cousin Heng to see my father, have father and eldest brother ever discussed important matters?"
Gu Changye shook his head, "Master Hou didn't give orders."
Gu Zhuo understood, and immediately brought Gu Heng into the study.
