The emperor died one day in mid-May.

It was late at night that no one noticed and fell asleep like this.

The little eunuch was on vigil that day. During that time, he lit the lamp and glanced at him. He just thought that the emperor was sleeping deeply and didn't notice it. Then he retreated outside to guard.

The eunuch felt that something was not right until the morning when there was no movement inside for a long time, and then went over to call people softly, but there was no response inside.

The eunuch chief shook his heart, shook his hands quickly and opened the curtain, and then cautiously stretched out his hand to explore the breath of the sage, only to find that the emperor was already out of breath.

The emperor passed away and the capital was under martial law.

The bell of the tower rang twenty-seven times that day.

Announcing the national funeral.

Everyone in Beijing immediately hung a piece of white silk on the door, canceled many joyous matters such as weddings and ceremonies, put on plain clothes, and kept the national funeral.

After the mourning, the major temples and palaces in the city ringed thirty thousand bells to show their condolences.

After the funeral, the prince's enthronement ceremony.

The country cannot be without a monarch for a day. Although the prince is in great grief, the enthronement must not be delayed.

Under the control of the Ministry of Rites, a date was quickly selected, and the ancestral temple was sacrificed and then enthroned as emperor.

Change the number of yuan.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, amnesty the world, levied tax relief, and opened Enke.

Celebrate the whole world.

There is more and more the phenomenon of peace in the world.

Although Li Cheng is still low-key, everyone can see that he is indeed the emperor's confidant.

From the emperor's several summons, anyone with a brain can see it.

Xin said that the future of this man is indispensable, and he will be able to become the emperor and continue to stay in Beijing only when he is dismissed in the coming year.

Even so, everyone is happy to have a good relationship with him. After all, in the future, they will all be officials, and one more friend is better than one more enemy.

Therefore, Li Cheng stayed in the Imperial Academy very satisfied. All the bachelors inside were well-educated and could explain all kinds of problems very well. Li Cheng benefited a lot and became more comfortable in his schoolwork. The mood became more and more calm.

Since ancient times, a wife is expensive by her husband.

Li Cheng was valued by the new emperor and became an imperial celebrity, so Gu celadon's status naturally rose.

It is not the same as before.

How embarrassed the people who laughed at her back then are now.

People who are married and settle down can turn over completely.

How many people think about being uncomfortable!

However, what I think is only thinking. When I meet, I have to talk to her kindly.

There was only one stupid man, who didn't know whether he was instigated by others or something else, and he provoked Gu Celadon at the birthday party of the Lord Kangtai.

The words were full of disdain, and he said maliciously: "What's so proud of? My husband is just an unapproved Jinshi. I don't know that I will be a sesame-sized official in the future. It's worth mentioning, scoff! "

Did Gu Celadon hear this when he turned around?

No matter where she can bear the idleness, she immediately snarled back with her arms akimbo: "You are so noble, my father must be a first-grade member! These people are not worthy of playing with you, not worthy of standing together, so, Please also ask this "honorable" lady to move her feet and move elsewhere. Don't let the people here stain your noble status!"

When Gu Celadon finished speaking, many people couldn't help but laugh.

It was the first time that the girl heard that her mouth was so poisonous, she didn't react for a while, her face flushed with anger, she pointed her finger at Gu Celadon, "You! You..." for a long time, she couldn't even say the whole thing.

What kind of daughter is she, her father is only a fourth-rank officer.

Originally, there was nothing, but Miss Zhang was jealous since childhood. Gu Celadon was full of sadness after hearing a few words, thinking that the person she married was just a scholar. What's so proud of, So it's nothing more than the brain to provoke others.

I can only blame this one who had just transferred from another place. He was not very clear about the situation in Beijing, the information was unclear and he had no brains.

Unexpectedly, knowing that Gu Celadon is a stubborn stubble, it was a disadvantage.

Now I feel angry and embarrassed.

Seeing many little girls around with their veils covering the corners of their mouths, they seemed to be laughing at themselves, and felt even more faceless.

The garden couldn't stay any longer, so he could only stomped his feet and led the maid out quickly.

In the eyes of others, it is a desperate escape.

Gu Celadon felt a sigh of relief and went to play with the Lord Kangtai.

...

The lady whose surname was Zhang, who was angered by Gu Celadon, was scolded out of the garden. Feeling depressed, she flung her sleeves and walked forward.

Until the maid behind her reminded her, "Miss will go to the front of the outer courtyard. There is a foreigner over there, let's go back."

Although Miss Zhang was angry, she didn't want to make fun of her reputation.

Just sullen, the maid cursed and vented her anger, and then turned around.

However, she never expected that when she was passing the lake, a masked man in black suddenly flew out of the rockery.

Miss Zhang and the maid behind her stunned them in a moment of horror before they could speak loudly!

Then they threw them into the lake and stared for several minutes, until they saw the person sinking, the black-clothed man went to the rockery to take off his black clothes, dressed as an ordinary little servant, and left like this.

It wasn't until midday that things started to make trouble.

The girl Zhang came with her mother, but Mrs. Zhang was talking to the wives in the house without looking at her daughter.

When the banquet was about to start, she hadn't seen her daughter, Madam Zhang was anxious, and immediately called the next person to ask, but everyone didn't know where the lady was.

Only later was heard that Miss Zhang and Gu Celadon quarreled and took the maid out of the garden in anger.

Mrs. Zhang's face was all green, but because the palace did not dare to be presumptuous, she didn't swear.

As the master, the princess couldn't ignore this, so she ordered her servants to look for them along several roads.

Finally, the bodies of Miss Zhang and her maid were found in the lake.

Both of them were drowned.

This matter is serious.

No matter how bad Ms. Zhang is, she is the daughter of a fourth-grade official. She came to a banquet but died for no reason. This thing can't be kind.

Madam Zhang fainted when she saw her daughter's body?

After waking up, he cried and screamed, madly demanding his life.

The princess's complexion was also not good-looking, and it was impossible for anyone to celebrate a good thing for no reason but become like this now.

This is because she can't solve it, so she can only report to the officer and let the criminal department investigate and deal with it.

The princess ordered someone to tell the prince about the matter, and then ordered the guests today not to leave for the time being, and to wait for someone from the Criminal Department to come.

After the death, the ladies and wives were better or better able to stabilize, although their complexions were not good.Many young ladies were so scared that their faces turned pale, thinking that the person who had spoken to them in the garden before died in the blink of an eye, and the corpses were taken out of the lake, which was really infiltrating.

Mrs. Zhang has been crying since the people from the Criminal Ministry have come?

Then suddenly, she turned her eyes to Gu Qingci.

Looking at Gu Qingci with a bitter expression on his face, he said, "It's you! You killed my daughter! She just said two things you don't like, and you insult her. This is not enough. Did you push her? It's in the water! You bitch! I'm fighting with you, I want you to pay for my daughter's life!"

After speaking, he rushed to Gu Celadon, and while beating her, he wanted to reach out and pinch her neck.

Fortunately, she was stopped by the maid.

But it also surprised Gu Celadon, and backed back several steps.

In the end, for the sake of Mrs. Zhang's loss of her daughter, Gu Celadon closed her eyes, tolerated, and didn't care about others.

He just said in a cold voice: "Mrs. Zhang said carefully."

Of course, the princess couldn't tolerate others, quickly stepped forward to appease, winking again, and let the maid look at people.

After another stick of incense, officials of the Criminal Department finally came over.

First of all, it must be an autopsy to examine the body.

But Mrs. Zhang screamed when she saw this scene.

Pushing Yuzuo forcefully, saying that her daughter is dead, they still have bad intentions to defile her daughter's innocence.

He refused to let anyone touch the body.

The princess's face collapsed.

Mrs. Zhang is so uncooperative with Yin and Yang, how can people investigate the case.

The two officials from the Criminal Ministry also frowned.

However, because the other party is also an official's wife, it is not easy to give orders directly.

Therefore, the two of them could only turn around and look at the prince, and said, "The prince, this..."

Madam Zhang disagrees and no one can force it, after all, it is her daughter.

The prince was also very embarrassed, so he could only call all his servants over and let people cross-examine him to see if he could ask for clues.

The palace and the prince are married as one, and they must be responsible for what happened in the palace.

Therefore, I can only step forward and say: "Ms. Zhang's sorrow, the most urgent thing is to find out what happened to Ms. Zhang. How can Mrs. Zhang keep blocking her to seek justice for her daughter? Is it true that she should die? "

The princess was not at all euphemistic, but in the face of Madam Zhang who had collapsed, no euphemism was useful. On the contrary, these two sentences caused Madam Zhang to cry loudly for a while, and then her expression became loose.

Wu went forward to check, and the apprentice took a note from the side.

On the other side, the two officials asked all the ladies in the garden at the time and recorded their confessions.

As for the servants in the palace, they were all interrogated.

It was not until that time that Gu Celadon and the others left the palace.

When they came, they were lively and lively, and when they went back, all of them looked deep and hushing.

Yuzhu Yuchuan was worried that Gu Celadon was frightened today, so he reported it to Li Chengze as soon as he went back, and then asked the kitchen to boil tranquilizing soup and bring it to the master to drink it.

Gu Celadon was bored, holding Li Chengze's waist and leaning on him, and said: "She scolded me first, so I would answer. Her death has nothing to do with me."

"I know, of course it has nothing to do with you. Since the people from the Criminal Department are already investigating, don't be afraid, it won't involve you." Li Cheng comforted in a low voice.

Gu Celadon's face is still a little pale, not surprising, anyone who saw the person who was talking to you the moment before and died within a second would be afraid and panic.

To live a life, to be truly indifferent, is terrible.

Gu Celadon's spirit was faint, and Li Cheng comforted her for a while. People drank a bowl of tranquilizers. After a while, tiredness struck, and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Just after putting the quilt on her, Mother Zhang approached her gently, and said in a low voice, "The eldest sister is awake. I'm looking for someone. Uncle, go and see."

The eldest sister is eight months old. She is so clever that she recognizes her parents. She sits on the kang without seeing her for a while, her big dark eyes wandering around, looking back and forth.

It looks so cute.

The maids knew that she was looking for someone, and once deliberately stood still, wanting to see the eldest sister's reaction.

Then I saw my eldest sister babbling for a long time, blushing, and suddenly called out: "Father!"

But it makes Mother Zhang so happy, the little lady can talk!

So I immediately held her to see Li Chengze and Gu Celadon.

Sure enough, the little guy was happy when he saw his parents, and called his father again.

It's just that I'm still young, and I can barely call my parents. I won't say anything else.

Only in this way, the two of them were still very happy as their parents.

So now Li Cheng heard that the eldest sister was looking for someone, so he went out.
