Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 158 It will be even crazier soon
However, before Du Yi's letter was sent out, another incident happened in Chang'an City - regardless of the objections of Princess Taiping and others, the sage insisted on abdicating the throne to the crown prince, and retreated behind the scenes to become the Supreme Emperor.

After the imperial decree of the Zen position was announced, Princess Taiping was so angry that she went straight into the palace and cursed at the emperor by pointing at his nose.

The emperor was soft-tempered, and when he met such a strong person as Princess Taiping, he didn't even dare to speak out, so he could only hang his head honestly and let Princess Taiping scold him to his heart's content.

It was the prince who heard the news and rushed to stop the saint immediately. "Aunt Taiping, please be careful! The person standing here is my Ninth Five-Year Lord of the Tang Dynasty. You are just a mere eldest princess. What right do you have to speak ill of him?"

Princess Taiping immediately turned cold. "Why am I not qualified to scold him? Has he discussed with me about such a big change of the throne? Has he listened to my opinion? Don't forget, if I didn't pull Li Chongmao from the throne with my own hands , now the person sitting on this dragon chair does not know who it is!"

"Aunt Taiping!" The prince's face became even more ugly when he heard the words, "We are well aware of your contribution to the Tang Dynasty, whether you are father or me, we have always respected you very much, but these are not because you are arrogant, domineering, Even today's saints don't pay attention to the reason!"

Princess Taiping didn't even look at him. "I don't talk to the concubine of the lowly servant girl. Brother, now I just ask you, have you made up your mind and determined not to listen to me again?"

The emperor slowly came out from behind the prince. "My sister, pass the throne to a virtuous person, so as to avoid disasters. I know that mediocrity and virtue are not enough to command the world. On the contrary, Saburo has been smart, courageous and resourceful since he was a child. I handed over the world to him. I'm relieved."

"I just ask you, have you made up your mind?" Princess Taiping only repeated this sentence.

When she was speaking, she stared straight at the emperor, which made the emperor tremble in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at her.

"Sister, this...I..."

"Aunt Taiping..." The prince wanted to speak again when he saw this, but Princess Taiping pushed him away, "Go aside!"

The prince staggered a few steps, his eyes darkened for a moment.

The emperor was also frightened by this situation, he nodded hastily. "Yes, I have made up my mind, I will pass the throne to Saburo!"

"it is good!"

Princess Taiping nodded immediately. "Since this is the case, brother, you can just go on your own way! Sister Chen resigns!"

After all, she turned around and left without looking back.

"Sister! Sister!"

When the emperor saw this, his heart tightened inexplicably, and he hurriedly wanted to chase the man back.But the prince stopped him immediately: "Father, let aunt go!"

The emperor looked back at his son who was already as tall as himself, he was stunned for a while, and then he let out a long sigh. "What's going on here?"

The prince helped him back to sit down. "Father, you don't have to worry about my aunt, the boy will go out and apologize to her right away."

"Okay, okay, go! Your aunt doesn't really have many bad intentions. She just got spoiled and has a bad temper. You just need to bow your head and admit your mistake, and she will definitely forgive you." The emperor nodded quickly.

The prince's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words, but he still obediently said yes, just bowed and left.

It's just that after leaving the palace, he didn't go in the direction of Princess Taiping's mansion.He didn't even ask about Princess Taiping's whereabouts, so he rode away directly.

He came to Ningguo Duke's mansion with ease.The concierge of the Duke's Mansion was not surprised to see him at all, but came forward to lead the horse for him very attentively: "His Royal Highness, you are here! Duke Ying is here now! You are the only one missing, please come in quickly." Bar!"

The prince nodded, casually threw the rope and whip to him, jumped off the horse and walked in.

When he got to the backyard, he saw Gu Tianyuan and Xue Chongjian gesticulating with swords in their hands.After a while, Du Yi came, holding a tray in one hand, which was full of four or five small plates, and walked steadily towards this side.

Walking all the way, he saw the figure of the prince, and immediately smiled at him: "You came at the right time. I was telling them just now, I'm afraid you won't be able to taste this delicacy!"

"Really? What's delicious?" The prince's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried over.

At this time, Du Yi had already walked to the table.With a flick of his hands, he threw the tray onto the table in front of him.

Gu Tianyuan immediately shouted happily: "Braised mutton? Steamed rabbit head? Aren't these some of my sister's best dishes? When did you learn it?"

Du Yi was triumphant. "My mother has made these dishes so many times, and I have watched them so many times. Even if I didn't try them myself, I know how to do them. Now, you can try them with confidence!"

Gu Tianyuan turned his eyes when he heard the words, and quickly brought a piece of braised mutton to Xue Chongjian. "Erlang, you were injured just now, and your body must still be weak. Come on, quickly eat a piece of mutton to replenish your body!"

Xue Chongjian didn't doubt that he was there, picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How is it?" Gu Tianyuan asked hurriedly.

Xue Chongjian frowned.

"Isn't it delicious?" Gu Tianyuan asked again.

Xue Chongjian just shook his head, wrinkled his face and swallowed the mutton in his mouth.

Gu Tianyuan immediately took a step back. "Is it so unpalatable? Forget it. I don't want my share. Anyone of you who wants to eat it can take it!"

"Really? Well, I'll take this one!" Xue Chongjian nodded immediately, and then stretched out his long arms, and snatched his share.

Gu Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment before he realized that he had been fooled.

"Alright, Xue Chongjian, how dare you lie to me!"

"Isn't that why you deliberately asked me to try it for you first?" Xue Chongjian sneered, and immediately ran away with two plates in his arms.

When the crown prince saw this, he couldn't help but say: "This is called being too clever in all the tricks, and being clever is misunderstood by cleverness!"

Gu Tianyuan's face fell. "You group of people, there is no good thing!"

"Really? Then do you want other food made by me, a bad guy?" Du Yi asked coolly.

"Yes!" Gu Tianyuan replied without hesitation.

A group of people suddenly burst into laughter.

After laughing, all grievances and grievances cleared up, and several people sat down one after another, and began to eat and talk.

I have to admit that Du Yi worked alongside Gu Caiwei in the early years, and really learned a lot from her subordinates.This time the food passed through his hands, although it is not very delicious, but the taste is not bad.

After eating meat and pairing it with a bowl of wine, everyone gradually relaxed after eating and drinking like this.

When the wine was hot, everyone began to talk freely.

Gu Tianyuan asked the prince with a smile: "The edict of the sage's Zen position has already been issued, your highness, shouldn't you be busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony now, why do you still have time to come to us to eat and drink?"

The prince replied lazily. "Originally, I wasn't free, but today Aunt Taiping went to the palace to make a fuss, so I'm free."

"Princess Taiping is making trouble again?" Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan both exclaimed when they heard this.

After finishing speaking, they couldn't help but glance at Xue Chongjian again.

Xue Chongjian looked indifferent, just lowered his head and ate the meat.

The two turned their heads to look at the prince again, and the prince also explained in detail how Princess Taiping entered the palace to make trouble.

"So, you kept saying that you came out of the palace to apologize to Princess Taiping and confessed your mistakes, but in the end you didn't do it at all, but came to our house to eat and drink?" Du Yi concluded.

"Yes." The prince nodded readily, "I'm not wrong, why bother to go to Aunt Taiping to make fun of myself? She must have hated me by now, and I will only be humiliated by her if I go there. I'm not sick, Don’t humiliate yourself.”

"It's just how do you plan to explain to the saint?" Gu Tianyuan asked again.

"You don't need to explain, anyway, Dad will definitely not ask later, and my aunt doesn't bother to mention me in front of Dad, so this matter can be left alone." The prince waved his hands casually, then bowed his head and began to eat and drink.

Xue Chongjian, who was sitting opposite him, also ate and drank calmly as usual, as if the person Du Yi and the others were talking about just now was not his biological mother.

Seeing this, Du Yi frowned slightly.When he turned around and sent both the crown prince and Xue Chongjian, he quickly wrote another letter, and told the sender: "Hurry up and send it to Yongxing County as soon as possible, without delay, remember?"

"Yes!" The boy delivering the letter nodded quickly, and sure enough, he delivered the letter to Gu Caiwei as quickly as possible.

When Gu Caiwei got the letter and read it, she suddenly had a splitting headache.

"What are these things?" She couldn't complain.

Du Juanqing had also read the contents of the letter, he only asked her: "Do you want to go back?"

Gu Caiwei looked at him, and Du Juanqing said: "calculate the time, we haven't been back to Chang'an for nearly ten years. Now the atmosphere in Chang'an has changed drastically, and our former enemies are gone, so it's okay to go back and have a look now."

Gu Caiwei was speechless for a moment. "After talking for a long time, it's because you want to go back, right?"

"Indeed, I really want to go back and have a look." Du Juan nodded, "And the new emperor will be enthroned soon, and he is still a good friend of Ayi and the others. I also want to go back and join in the fun."

As he spoke, he heard him sigh again. "After the change of the throne, the world should be completely peaceful, right?"

Gu Caiwei also pursed her lips. "Since you want to go back, let's go back! I miss Ayi too."

In the letter sent by Du Yi this time, a letter from the prince inviting them back to Chang'an was also attached.So now that they had made a decision, Du Juanqing handed over the affairs of the mine to Du Yi, and he and Gu Caiwei returned to Chang'an with the young lady and the young man.

But they didn't go that fast.When they returned to Chang'an, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony had already ended, and the crown prince Li Longji was enthroned as emperor, with the year title Xiantian.

No matter how hard Princess Taiping tried to obstruct her, she did not stop Prince Li Longji from taking the throne.

"She must be in a bad mood now, right?" After arriving at the Ningguo Mansion in Chang'an City, Gu Caiwei keenly felt the mixture of festive and gloomy atmosphere above Chang'an City.

What is festive is naturally a member of the royal family of Li Tang.The gloomy one must be Princess Taiping's men.

Originally planned to take a rest for a day and visit the old Lai Guogong and his wife tomorrow at the mansion of the Duke of Lai, and then go to the mansion of Princess Taiping the day after tomorrow.Unexpectedly, just after Gu Caiwei asked someone to send out invitations, in the evening, someone came from Princess Taiping's residence!
"Mrs. Ningguo, the princess is here to invite you." The visitor was respectful, but his attitude was unusually serious.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei frowned slightly. "It's so late, let's forget about nothing important! We just returned to Chang'an, and the boxes and cages haven't been packed yet!"

"The son-in-law is sick." The visitor only said.

Gu Caiwei's heart sank for a moment, and she nodded immediately. "I see, I'll go right away."

She quickly took out the medicine box from the cage, and followed the people into the carriage.

It seems that they are indeed in a hurry.Just as Gu Caiwei got into the carriage, the coachman was galloping, and the distance that would take less than half an hour would be covered in the time of a cup of tea.

When Gu Caiwei got off the car when she arrived at the princess mansion, someone came to pick her up again.

"Madam Ning Guo, this way please."

Gu Caiwei followed quickly, and was soon taken to the residence of the son-in-law Wu Youji.

Outside the wing room, Gu Caiwei saw Princess Taiping standing there with a cold face.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Princess Taiping just waved her hand. "Go and see him! If there is still a way to survive, then save him. If not, help him get rid of the pain as soon as possible!"

On the way here, Gu Caiwei probably asked about the condition of the son-in-law, so she probably knew it well.However, when she heard Princess Taiping say that, she was still slightly taken aback. "Princess, don't you go in and accompany him?"

"Don't all patients need rest? What am I going to do?" Princess Taiping said coldly, and then urged her, "Go in quickly!"

Gu Caiwei just nodded and went in.

As soon as she entered the inner room, she smelled a bitter medicinal smell.The doors and windows in the wing room were tightly closed, and the windows were covered with a thick layer of curtains, covering the entire wing room tightly.If it weren't for the several lights inside, Gu Caiwei could hardly see what was inside.

The son-in-law Wu Youji was lying on the bed at this time.His face was like gold paper, he seemed to be asleep, his eyes were quietly closed, and his breathing was a little short.

Judging by his face, the situation doesn't seem very optimistic.

Gu Caiwei thought to herself, and quickly nodded to the people around her, and a maid immediately brought over a bed.

As soon as Gu Caiwei sat down and was about to feel his pulse, Wu Youji opened his eyes.

Seeing Gu Caiwei appearing in front of him, he was not surprised, on the contrary, he smiled faintly at him: "You are back."

"Yes, after leaving Chang'an for so long, we are back again." Gu Caiwei nodded, "But now, son-in-law, can you stretch out your hand and feel my pulse?"

Only then did Wu Youji stretch out his hand, and Gu Caiwei felt his pulse, and then his brows frowned. "This is the pulse of excessive wear and tear, heart failure."

"So there's no cure, right?" Wu You asked with a smile.

Gu Caiwei looked at him. "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"False." Wu Youji replied without hesitation.

Gu Caiwei was taken aback for a moment, then saw this person and smiled again. "Can I say, I don't want to die? Taiping is like this now, and there are not many close people around her. If I leave again, how lonely will she be? I still want to live a few more years and be by her side. No matter what Whether it is difficult or dangerous, it is better for me to accompany her to go through it than for her to go forward alone."

"The way you are now is because you broke your heart because of him." Gu Caiwei sighed weakly.

"Isn't it? But who called her Taiping?" Wu Youji was still smiling, his face was full of tenderness without any trace of sadness, "If I can marry her as my wife, even if I worry about her forever Willingly."

Doesn't your appearance mean that you have been worrying about him all your life?
Gu Caiwei turned cold. "To be honest, if you insist on doing this, then even if I treat you now, you will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Your heart failure is already very serious. Stop now and rest in peace, maybe you can do more. Live for three to five years. On the contrary, I think you should not waste my energy and medicinal materials. My medicinal materials and I are very expensive!"

"I understand." Wu Youji nodded, "If this is the case, don't treat it. You save the medicinal materials for other people who need it more! But now, can you do me a favor?"

"Call the princess in for you?" Gu Caiwei asked.

Wu You nodded. "Now this is something only you can do."

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips and remained silent, Wu Youji gave another bleak smile. "I haven't seen her for several days. Before I could move my legs and feet, I could go to her. But now I can't even get up, so I can only lie here and wait. As a result, I have been waiting until now. I couldn't wait until she took the initiative to appear in front of me."

"But think about it, unless she asks for me in this life, she will never take the initiative to come to me. Now that I am going to die and become a complete useless person, she must not even want to see me."

"My son-in-law, you think too much." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "If the princess really doesn't have you in her heart, why did you call me over in such a hurry? I just came back at noon today."

Wu Youji heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and a faint halo was cast on his sallow face.

"Are you serious? Does she still have me in her heart?"

Gu Caiwei nodded. "Of course. It's just that the princess is too proud to admit it. At this time, you don't have to force yourself. All you need to do now is to wait patiently. The princess will definitely come to see you."

These words put Wu You in a good mood. "Okay, I believe you! I'm waiting for her, I will be waiting!"

Gu Caiwei also nodded, Shi Shiran said goodbye and left.

When she went outside, she saw Princess Taiping still sitting there drinking tea.She didn't turn her head until Gu Caiwei came to her side: "How is it? Is there any help?"

"No more." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "The only thing I can do now is to let him last a little longer, and then it won't be too painful when he leaves."

"Oh." Princess Taiping nodded, "Then do you need to prescribe any medicine? Just talk about what you need, I don't have many other people under my command, and there should still be a lot of medicinal materials."

"This medicine is very precious, and only you, the princess, have it." Gu Caiwei nodded immediately.

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows, and there was a smug look in her eyes: "Really? What kind of medicine?"

"That's you, princess!" Gu Caiwei said.

Princess Taiping's face darkened instantly. "presumptuous!"

"I'm telling the truth." Gu Caiwei replied solemnly, "The son-in-law is now terminally ill, and there is no way to recover. Even if my grandfather is still alive, he can't save the son-in-law's life, and I can't. So now you If you ask me to prescribe medicine, I can only prescribe a little placebo. And you, princess, know it well—the only placebo he needs is you."

"So what? Could it be that he needs me, so I should take the initiative to send myself there?" Princess Taiping snorted coldly.

"No, no, no, I don't mean that." Gu Caiwei quickly waved her hand, "I just fulfilled my duty as a doctor and prescribed the prescribed medicine. But as for whether you should catch this medicine or give it to patients, This is your own business, I don't care."

Princess Taiping's eyes immediately became suspicious again. "really?"

"That's still fake? Do I still dare to pull you in by force? I don't dare to offend you, Princess Taiping, who is now in full swing!" Gu Caiwei sighed helplessly.

When Princess Taiping heard this, she calmed down. "Forget it, for the sake of your first crime, this princess won't bother with you much."

Gu Caiwei quickly saluted. "Thank you princess! So now, can I go home?"

"Are you so impatient to see me?" Princess Taiping suddenly lowered her voice again.

Gu Caiwei was so helpless. "Princess, you know, I just returned to Chang'an! There are a lot of things going on at home. If you hadn't sent someone to pick them up suddenly, I would still be packing things at home now! The result...Okay, okay!"

Seeing Princess Taiping's complexion became more and more gloomy, Gu Caiwei had no choice but to admit cowardly. "Since you want me to accompany you, princess, then I will stay for a while longer. By the way, I don't know if you have dinner, princess? I haven't. I'm so hungry. Can you let me eat first?" something?"

Princess Taiping nodded. "Then let's have dinner together!"

Gu Caiwei nodded quickly.She quickly ordered a few dishes, and the cook did as expected.

The two moved to Princess Taiping's residence, and the food was ready and delivered in a short while.Gu Caiwei was so hungry that her chest stuck to her back, she quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and wolfed it down.

After she finished eating a bowl of rice, she raised her head and saw Princess Taiping looking down at the dishes full of dishes in front of her, but she didn't move a few chopsticks.

"Princess, do you think these meals are not to your liking?" Gu Caiwei hurriedly asked.

"Suddenly I don't want to eat today, so I just want to eat some pastries." Princess Taiping said slowly.

"I understand." Gu Caiwei nodded immediately, "I still have to do it, right?"

Princess Taiping nodded.

Gu Caiwei got up immediately. "Okay, I'll go and do it for you right now, you wait for me for a stick of incense!"

After that, she got into the small kitchen next to her.The dough here is all ready-made. Gu Caiwei took it and kneaded the dough into the required size, sprinkled various flower petals on it, and then steamed it in a pan.

Just when the incense burns, the pastry comes out of the pan.

Gu Caiwei also picked up a few pieces and sent them to Princess Taiping. "Princess please use it."

Princess Taiping picked up a piece of hot almond cake and put it into her mouth, and then she squinted her eyes in comfort. "Sure enough, you still have to cook it yourself to have this taste. Even if other chefs make similar ones, they can't always be similar, and the taste is always worse."

"Of course, my cooking skills are unique in the world!" Gu Caiwei nodded unceremoniously.

When Princess Taiping saw her triumphant appearance, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Seeing her smile, Gu Caiwei nodded quickly. "Princess, you can be considered happy. These days, you must also be very depressed, right?"

Princess Taiping's face sank again. "Who asked you to inquire about my affairs?"

"Heaven and earth conscience!" Gu Caiwei looked aggrieved, "I just saw you, princess, frowning all the time, so I asked a few questions out of concern. Why should I inquire about your affairs? My husband and I have always been It's nothing to do with yourself!"

"Really? If that's the case, then why has Duke Ning's son been so close to the new emperor?" Princess Taiping asked coldly.

"That's the children's business, I don't care about it." Gu Caiwei spread her hands.

Princess Taiping's face sank again.

Gu Caiwei quickly stood up. "It seems that you are tired of me, princess, so I won't stay here to obstruct your eyes. I'll take my leave, and we'll see you another day!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly bowed and bowed, then hurriedly turned and left.

This time, Princess Taiping didn't say anything to persuade her to stay.

However, after Gu Caiwei left, Princess Taiping looked down at the plate full of pastries in front of her again, the coldness on her face gradually faded away, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little.

She slowly reached out again, without using chopsticks, but directly grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

The pastry was just out of the pan, and it was still a little hot. She was so hot that she closed her eyes immediately, and almost wanted to spit out what was in her mouth.But in the end, she didn't spit out, but closed her mouth tightly, and swallowed the pastries in her mouth one after another.

While swallowing, the corners of her eyes slowly became wet, and finally a teardrop gathered there, and then slowly flowed down her cheeks.

"Princess!"

Seeing this, the maids around were all terrified.

But Princess Taiping turned a deaf ear to it.

After finishing the pastry in her mouth, she grabbed another piece and continued to devour it.

Before she knew it, she ate up a plate full of pastries.

After the last piece of pastry was eaten by her, Princess Taiping stood up after cleaning her hands and walked outside.

"Where are you going, princess?" the maid asked hurriedly.

But Princess Taiping didn't answer, just walked forward.

Seeing this, the maids didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they could only follow up.

The group returned from Princess Taiping's courtyard to Prince Consort Wu Youji's courtyard along the same route.

At this moment, the courtyard fell into a deep silence.The doors and windows of Wu Youji's bedroom were still closed, and the room was dark and gloomy, only when the maids came in and out and opened the door, could there be a gleam of light from the inside.

The yard was empty, and there was no one there.

People haven't died yet, but this place has already turned into a dead place.

The old lady guarding the gate of the yard also has the virtue of dying.When Princess Taiping came over, they were sitting on the ground and dozing off.

Suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps, and they growled impatiently: "Who is running around in the middle of the night... Ah, princess!"

Princess Taiping ignored them at all, and went into the courtyard, and walked into Wu Youji's bedroom.

Wu Youji's current situation is even worse than when Gu Caiwei came to see it just now.

Now there are two or three people who stay by his side to serve, and these people are standing firmly in front of the bed, without any movement for a long time.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the three of them were startled.When they saw someone coming, they were all startled, and immediately whispered in unison: "Princess, why are you here?"

"Princess?"

When the person on the bed heard these two words, he immediately cheered up and sat up in a jerk!
Seeing this, Princess Taiping twitched the corners of her lips. "I see that you are in good spirits. How is it that you are going to die soon as she said?"

When Wu Youji heard this, he was not angry, but had a joyful smile on his face.

When Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing came back from Lai Guogong's mansion the next day, someone reported: "Princess Taiping's son-in-law is dead."

"Oh." Gu Caiwei just nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood.

Du Juanqing couldn't help staring at her for a long time. "You didn't say a word after you came back from the princess' mansion yesterday. Are you sad for Wu Youji? But I remember that you don't have much friendship."

"It's true that I don't know him well, and I'm not sad for him, I'm sad for Princess Taiping." Gu Caiwei said softly, "When Wu Youji dies, the last person in the world who sincerely treats her well is gone. From now on, she It becomes a real loner, which is not a good thing."

"What do you mean by that? Is Princess Taiping still capable of rebellion?" Du Juan raised his eyebrows.

He shook his head after speaking. "Although the princess is still arrogant and domineering now, since she has repeatedly supported her two elder brothers to become emperors, it is enough to show that she is not too enthusiastic about the throne. Moreover, the best time has passed now, so she will It’s too late to do that.”

"Actually, to be honest, there is no such thing as timing or timing, there is only whether you think about it or not. Timing is actually up to God. If God loves you, even if the timing is wrong, a thunderbolt will fall from the sky and split the enemy Death will help you win. On the contrary, no matter how good the timing is, if God is not on your side, you still have to wait for death." Gu Caiwei said slowly.

Du Juanqing's heart sank instantly. "You mean, Princess Taiping still has such thoughts?"

"I don't know, I'm not Princess Taiping." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "I only know that they invited me to see a doctor yesterday. In fact, what they saw was not the son-in-law's illness at all, but the princess's illness."

"Princess's disease? What's wrong with her?"

"Heart disease, very serious heart disease. After so many years of accumulation, it is almost impossible to cure it." Gu Caiwei sighed.

"And..." she paused, "Now that the son-in-law is dead, the last force pressing on her will disappear, and she will definitely become even crazier in the future. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
