Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 3482 Fanwai Gu Zhong 8

   The emperor was most worried about the world, the crown prince. He warned him again and again, and finally let him go, and said softly: "Please come in, your mother, and I will talk to her."

  The prince saw that the emperor's breath was weak, he couldn't help but glanced at Gu Zhong, then stepped back to find his mother.

When the Empress    walked in, the Emperor was no longer able to speak, Gu Zhong glanced at the hands they held together, and quietly stepped aside.

  The emperor's hand was empty on the queen's hand, and he said inaudibly: "Zi Tong, you have worked hard in this life..."

  The queen's eyes blurred, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, held his hand and said softly: "It's not hard, in the next life, the concubine is still willing to accompany Erlang."

The    emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, and replied, "Okay..."

  The two stopped talking, just held hands and looked at each other. I don't know when, the emperor's eyes closed slightly, and his hand fell softly in the queen's palm.

The Queen    shook his hand and pushed him, softly calling: "Your Majesty..."

The    emperor did not answer her, nor did he move.

  Gu Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to test the emperor's breath, and knelt down after a while, "Your Majesty, His Majesty... he collapsed!"

  The queen lowered her head and cried for a while, then she managed to clean up her emotions and then got up, took Gu Zhong's hand and walked out, and announced to everyone: "Your Majesty, you have passed away—"

   Zhou Man's heart was hurt, he knelt down with everyone, and there was a cry in the hall immediately, even if he was restrained, he cried out like an old man in Tang Dynasty.

   Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan were leading people from the Imperial Hospital in, and after confirming that the emperor was really dead, they assisted the prince and other princes to collect the funeral. . .

  Gu Zhong is also the chief attendant of the Taiji Temple, in charge of various affairs.

   Until the prince ascended the throne and the late emperor was buried, Gu Zhong could breathe a sigh of relief.

   He didn't miss him much. The late emperor left for the funeral, and then he handed over the affairs of the Taiji Temple to Eunuch Wu.

   But how dare Eunuch Wu dare to accept it directly?

   He went to Cindy.

The crown prince, who had just become an emperor, had experienced all kinds of busy public and private affairs after the death of his father. This was the time when he missed his father the most, so he did not agree directly, but said: "He is always by his father's side. Go, but the hard work is worth the effort, let him continue to lead the post of general manager, and you will help."

   Eunuch Wu responded in a low voice.

  Gu Zhong didn't want to continue to be the chief executive. Although he was powerful and powerful, he could continue to accumulate wealth, but once the emperor and the courtier, he did not have a deep relationship with the prince, and in front of him was far less than in front of the previous emperor.

   Besides, the prince's temper...

   But Gu Zhong did not dare to insist on leaving at this time. He knew the prince, and he resigned because he was afraid that the prince would be angry.

Gu Zhong was worried in his heart, but his face did not show it, but he politely said to Eunuch Wu: "In this Taiji Hall, it is said that it is the chief of the inner servant, but in fact it is still around His Majesty, we people just need to listen to His Majesty's orders. Just fine."

   "But the one that Your Majesty is used to the most is Mr. Wu. From now on, we will have to work harder for Mr. Wu in front of the imperial palace."

"Master Gu is too polite," Eunuch Wu said with a smile on his face, "We are new to our family. How can I know that Master Ancient is familiar with Taiji Temple? Your Majesty has already spoken, I will definitely assist you in the future. If you have any words, just tell me ."

  Gu Zhong smiled, both of them smiled brightly, only they knew that their hearts were not peaceful.

  Gu Zhong followed the new emperor for a while. Although he was still respected, the Taiji Temple, and even the entire imperial palace began to stand in line, whether it was on his side or Wu Eunuch...

   This is not something they can decide. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, not to mention two tigers whose hunting areas overlap.

  Although the food in this mountain is not what Gu Zhong wants to eat now.

   After thinking about it, he could only go to Zhou Man.

   Zhou Man was also very busy, the new emperor ascended the throne, Xiao Yuanzheng felt that his merits and virtues were complete, and there was something that the former emperor had not noticed before.

   Xindi retained twice as usual, and agreed with a stroke of a pen after he wrote the letter for the third time, so Zhou Man was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Medical Department and the hospital director, and his job field increased again.

   Of course, the workload has also increased a lot.

   For the future plans of the Imperial Physician Office, many of Xiao Yuanzheng was unwilling to do it before, and he was unwilling to do it drasticly. After Zhou Man took over, he simply cleared up these things slowly and planned to implement it step by step.

   So there are more things to do.

   When he is busy, Zhou Man tends to forget himself. When he was stopped by Gu Cai on the way out of the palace, he subconsciously avoided it and wanted to bypass the obstacle and go out.

   Gu Cai quickly raised his voice, "Master Zhou, Master Zhou..."

   Zhou Man returned to his senses, and only then did he see the person standing in front of him, "Master Xiao Gu? Are you here to get medicine? Master Gu no longer needs to take medicine, just pay more attention to maintenance every day."

"No, it's the godfather who wants to invite the adults to have a meal," Gu Cai said with a smile: "The godfather knows that the adults are very busy now, so he doesn't dare to take up too much of your time. Tomorrow, the godfather will take a bath, so I want to stay in Chongwen. The adults are invited to have a light meal in the restaurant, are you free for lunch?"

   Zhou Man was stunned for a moment and then said, "He wants to entertain guests in the palace? I'm a foreign minister..."

   It is a taboo that foreign ministers and internal servants have been very close. Even if the two have a good relationship, they rarely communicate openly.

Gu Cai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, the godfather has passed the matter, everyone knows that when the godfather came out of the Dali Temple, it was Lord Zhou who saw the godfather, which made the godfather so fast. ."

   He smiled and said, "Godfather specifically asked His Majesty to allow him to set up a table in the palace to entertain you. The place of Chongwen Pavilion was chosen by His Majesty."

  Chongwen Pavilion is the crown prince's territory. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Yingnu has also been named crown prince, but the East Palace is still the territory of the new emperor.

   Zhou Man nodded and said, "Okay, then I will go to Chongwen Hall for dinner tomorrow at noon."

  Gu Cai happily responded and asked, "Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

   She still has to observe filial piety to the country at the moment, what can she eat?

   After thinking about it, she said: "Tofu, I like tofu, and more kinds of tofu."

   If you can’t eat meat, then eat tofu, which has the most similar texture to meat.

  Thinking of this, Zhou Man was hungry, she touched her stomach, nodded with Gu Cai and said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving the palace, you should go back to your life soon."

   Gu Cai responded and was happy to go back to find Gu Zhong, and met Gu Ji on the way.

  Gu Cai hurriedly stopped, bowed his head and stood aside to avoid it.

  Gu Ji is now the chief official of the Inner Servant Province, the fourth rank, only under Gu Zhong and Wu Gonggong, and is also one of the best figures in the palace.

  Gu Ji saw him, he came over on purpose and asked with a smile, "Junior brother, are you coming from the gate of the palace? Are you leaving the palace again today?"

   Gu Cai lowered his head and said, "No, I just went to the Chongwen Museum to pass a message on behalf of my godfather."

  Gu Ji nodded, "I vaguely saw Lord Zhou go to the palace gate just now, why, didn't you see it?"

   Gu was clumsy and said dryly: "I see."

   But there are no more words.

See you tomorrow
