Chapter 153 Calm
After the doctor diagnosed the pulse, he ordered a few things to pay attention to, and after re-prescribing the medicine, the officers and soldiers of the Captain's Mansion sent him out of the mansion.

Gu Mingzhu ordered Ming to boil the medicine, and breakfast was served quickly.

She sat lazily at the table, put down her chopsticks lazily after eating something, Xu Jue was instructing Zhu Hongyuan, and vaguely heard the whereabouts of Guan Guan and so on.

After Zhu Hongyuan retreated, Gu Mingzhu said, "Have you met Yun Zhao?"

Xu Jue sat down beside her: "We met."

Gu Mingzhu asked directly: "What did you talk about?"

Xu Jue paused, and the few conversations he had with Yun Zhao across the wall quickly flashed through his mind.

Yun Zhao Wanli came to the southeast alone, all because of the Li family's rebellion. To the northwest, to the southeast, who would have thought that the Ma family would rely on the Li family, amassing money through black and white business all these years, and hide such audacious evil intentions!
After the funeral that day, Huanhuan from Hongye Building found Ma Jiaojiao with some clues. Through Ma Jiaojiao, she found out that the Ma family and the Li family are inextricably linked. When he fell into a trap, Ma Huaimin seemed to want to send him out of the southeast region, but he never thought that he would have to escape on the way and stay in Duanzhou, just in time to meet Yun Zhao and his group who came to the southeast to privately investigate Li's house.

Xu Jue explained the events before and after very clearly in a few words.

Gu Mingzhu was puzzled and said, "Then what's the matter with your injury?"

Xu Jue said: "The remaining poison was not cleared, and he fought with Yun Zhao's guards on the way, and his true energy was lingering for a while, sighing and hurting internally."

Thinking of what the doctor said just now, Gu Mingzhu frowned a little.

The maid of the Captain's Mansion removed the bowls and chopsticks and brought a pot of tea.

Gu Mingzhu has changed into a light green lotus leaf skirt, a thick snow suit, and white fox fur around her neck.

Xu Jue knelt down beside her, looking like she had something to say.

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "What's wrong?"

He slowly pressed his hand on Gu Mingzhu's lower abdomen, and after a moment of silence he blamed himself: "My fault... not being by your side these days has caused you to suffer so much..."

Gu Mingzhu lowered her head, put her right hand on the back of his hand, and smiled happily, as if she wanted to dispel his self-blame: "A Jue, you're a kid."

After she finished speaking, her throat choked up inexplicably, and she couldn't help but say after a while: "...I have already made the worst plan... If you really die...I...I also..."

With a tight palm, Xu Jue suddenly squeezed her tightly.

Gu Mingzhu murmured: "...Fortunately, you are fine."

The utter gratitude in her tone was too shocking, Xu Jue was speechless for a while, and after a long time: "...What name did you choose?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head lightly: "I haven't chosen a name yet, but I want to wait for you to pick one myself."

Xu Jue thought for a while, and said after a while: "My child, if you are so smart... how about calling him Xu Rui?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded: "Excellent, Xu Rui."

Xu Jue followed suit with a smile, thinking that he had learned about the dangers of Gu Mingzhu's childbirth from other people, and said silently: "Mother often said that when a boy is born, he should be given a common name, and the name of his parents and relatives is more intimate, so let's call it Ping'an." .”

Xu Rui, Xu Ping'an.

Gu Mingzhu read it twice silently, and suddenly asked curiously: "What about your common name? Why have I never heard of it?"

Xu Jue smirked: "My mother once took it for me and called it Yanzhi, which meant that I knew what I said. It's just that I grew up in the military camp and came from a high background. Naturally, my subordinates dare not call me. There are no collaterals in the family. The Gu family Nine generations of single biography, my mother found it too awkward after calling it twice, and gradually forgot about it."

Gu Mingzhu was a little dumbfounded when she heard that: "...Can you forget your name?"

Xu Jue smiled lightly: "My mother was born in the green forest. She was not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also hated literary people. I chose this name on a whim, and didn't take it seriously."

Thinking of Xu's mother's death, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Knowing that he was definitely sad, but he didn't want to express it easily, she changed the subject with a smile: "Then what do you plan to do with the Ma family?"

Speaking of Ma's house, Xu Jue's expression darkened: "...Death!"

Xu Jue's order was issued very quickly. Two days later, Ma Huaimin was taken to the Dangzhou Prison and asked to be executed on the same day, because he had a special relationship with the Dangzhou Captain, and the Dangzhou Captain's Mansion was taken over by Yan Yunqi who was stationed there.Ma Jiaojiao hanged herself in her own room, and all the property of the Ma family was confiscated. So far, the secrets of the wealthy businessman in the southeast area and him have been buried in the ground for a long time.

It was already eight days after the two returned to Ruizhou, it was approaching March, and it was the new year again.

Ruizhou is still cold.

In the half month since Gu Mingzhu left, the pile of affairs has become more pressing, but the flood in Fengyang is progressing smoothly. Gu Mingzhu was quite worried about it before leaving, but now he is relieved.

The New Deal was stable, and the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty were unified.

At the beginning of May, Zheng Menglin defeated Yanzhou, committed suicide in the army tent, and his subordinates scattered and scattered. After half a month, they all disappeared. So far, the world has been divided into three parts.

May is destined to be an eventful autumn. At the end of the month, there was a riot in Qin State. Princess Liyang was killed. When the body was found, she was pregnant for three months. This person.

When Gu Mingzhu heard this, she was practicing sword in the garden. Her moves were not fierce, but they were smooth and smooth. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and she saw Gu Xiurong coming with a portrait.

Gu Mingzhu stopped, stepped forward and said, "Brother."

Gu Xiurong handed over the portrait: "The son-in-law of Qin."

Gu Mingzhu took it suspiciously, unfolded the picture scroll, and saw that it was Wu Yue with handsome features and a familiar face.

Gu Mingzhu never thought of it: "Ah Yue? He...how could he..."

Gu Xiurong's face was slightly serious: "It's a long story, and it's too complicated. I don't know it. I only know that the Princess Qin is a ruthless character. It seems that she sent someone to chase and kill someone before, but I don't know why Wu Yue got involved. He came in, and later involved in the destruction of the Wu family, he went to Qin under the pseudonym Wu Yi, and he went there with the determination of revenge!"

Who did you chase after...

Gu Mingzhu recalled the past, and after a while, she could only sigh: "Reincarnation of cause and effect... Personal creation..."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Brother, don't mention this matter in front of Ah Yan."

Gu Xiurong didn't ask further questions, but nodded in response.

Three days ago, Zhou Yan officially joined the family tree of the Gu family, and changed her name to Gu Ying, with the intention of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. In private, Gu Mingzhu was used to calling her and did not change her name.

While talking, Chun'er came out with Xu Rui in his arms, saw the two of them smiling and came forward and said, "Miss, my lord."

Gu Xiurong stretched out his hand to pick up Xu Rui, looked at the quiet and open-eyed child, his eyes were full of surprise: "Look at this... I'm uncle..."

He teased the child, Gu Mingzhu smiled, and after a while, said: "Brother."

Gu Xiurong looked up at her: "En?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Your marriage with Sister Yue..."

Gu Xiurong paused, and the smile on his face restrained.
