The Child You Are Pregnant With... Is a Bastard!
Hongwen Hall.
Outside Gu Hao's office.
A slightly older palace maid looked at the sky and her expression became hesitant.
"It's almost midnight." The palace maid whispered.
At midnight every night, the four palace gates are closed and cannot be opened unless it is an emergency military situation.
"Sister Liu, why don't you call him?”A young palace maid suggested in a low voice.
The palace maid named Liu rolled her eyes.
If he spoke at this time, wouldn't Prince Changle fly into a rage out of humiliation when he came out?!
"Your Highness, you can't stay outside.”The palace maid surnamed Liu glanced at a middle-aged servant not far away.
The palace maids were responsible for taking care of Prince Changle's daily life and food, while the eunuchs were responsible for Prince Changle's travel and ceremonial matters.
The middle-aged chamberlain secretly cursed 'slut.' Then, he pointed at the youngest eunuch among the eunuchs beside him and ordered,"You came to remind Your Highness that you are fast, and you are fast."”
"Oh." The eunuch was at the lowest end of the food chain in the palace, so he couldn't resist.
"Your Highness, it's almost noon.”The young eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs.
After shouting, he lowered his head and hid among the eunuchs.
A moment later…the door opened.
Princess Li Lizhi walked out.
His bearing was noble and elegant.
The palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Lizhi.
"Hurry up and leave." After getting into the carriage, Li Lizhi urged him in embarrassment.
"..." In the study room, Gu Hao finished reading the entire book before he stood up and left.
"Strange, my memory is getting worse. Why can't I remember a single word of the book? My mind is filled with Li Lizhi.”
Gu Hao muttered softly in the carriage.
Looking back at the contents of the book, Li Lizhi's figure appeared in his mind.
This gave him a strange feeling.
After returning to the antique shop, Gu Hao greeted Zhang Qianshi warmly and comforted her for a while before calling Gail.
Bagaduo came to the study.
"Master, the news that you told us to spread has already spread in Xi City. Now, the Hu merchants are praising the Tang Emperor and General Hou, and they think that Chang 'an is the safest place in the world.”
Gail. Bagado poured a glass of white wine for Gu Hao.
This was what she had specially asked for from the Cheshi Kingdom's envoy today.
Gu Hao took a sip of wine and nodded."Well done."
"Then Master…" Gail said. Bakaduo looked at Gu Hao eagerly.
"What do you want?" Gu Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.”
Gail. Bagado blinked and said subtly,""This servant admires the culture of the Central Plains, especially the culture of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, I don't understand Chinese characters.”
Gu Hao smiled.
This woman was really direct.
"Let's wait for three days."
Gu Hao said.
He was not interested in teaching others how to write.
Words like this praising Li Er and the imperial court would definitely not last long.
After all, the lives of the commoners had not reached the point where they did not have to worry about food and clothing.
Three days!
This was the time Gu Hao estimated.
Once this time was over, even if there were more 'water army' propaganda, it would basically not cause any waves.
"Oh."
Gail. Bagatou was a little disappointed, but she acted as if she didn't care at all. She served Gu Hao even more attentively.
Taiji Palace, Yin Yang Hall.
It was already late at night, but Li Shimin was still dealing with political affairs.
In fact, he had basically taken care of all the important matters before dinner.
However, he did not go to bed.
He was punishing himself in this way.
Li Shiming couldn't help but shrink back as a chill ran down his spine.
"Your Majesty, the cold wind is harmful to the body.”
Wang De advised with concern.
Li Shi Min sighed and said,"The Guanyin maid didn't come to find zhen, do you think she hasn't forgiven zhen?”
Wang De paused.
How could a eunuch like him understand such a thing?
"This servant boldly guessed that the Empress should feel that you are resting in another Concubine Palace and it is inconvenient to come and find you.”Wang De whispered.
"Do I often rest in other palaces?" Li Shimin asked coldly.”
"This…didn't the Empress always hope that Your Majesty would share the rain and dew equally?”
Wang De said weakly.
His Majesty rarely rested in other palaces. He would often rest in other palaces for the time for one or two incense sticks to burn before returning to the Hall of Political Affairs.
"You don't understand a woman's mind.”Li Shimin shook his head and smiled faintly."Guanyin Maid said that she hoped that Zhen would go to another palace, but in her heart, she definitely couldn't bear to.”
"Your Majesty is still wise. This servant spoke nonsense just now.”Wang De replied with a smile.
"How is that wise…" Li Shiming chuckled. Considering Wang De's identity as a eunuch, he did not continue.
Wang De smiled and said,"Your Majesty is wise…I didn't say this first. Everyone in Xi City is praising Your Majesty now."”
"Oh? What are you praising me for?" Li Shi Min was interested.
"They say that His Majesty is wise and has governed the Tang Empire in an orderly manner, especially Chang 'an. Those Hu merchants all say that Chang' an is the safest place in the world and that there has never been a case of injustice..." Wang De told Li Shimin the rumors he had heard.
This was also one of his tasks. Li Shiming would often ask him for information about the Palace and the outside world, and he would also ask him to pay attention to the dissatisfaction or needs of the people outside the Palace…
”Li Shi Min laughed.
Wang De smiled but did not answer.
When it came to princes and ministers, he basically remained silent and would not casually make comments.
"Rest up, we won't be going anywhere tonight.”
Li Shi Min said.
"Yes…""…" Positive news about Li Shimin's wisdom, the Great Tang's good public security, its political integrity, the fact that there were no false or wrong cases, and Hou Junji's swift speed in solving cases spread from Xi City to Chang 'an.
The people of Chang 'an did not feel anything, but seeing the Hu people discussing fervently, many people also praised the Great Tang.
The officials of Chang 'an City naturally helped to expand the publicity.
For a time, the praise for the Imperial Court, Li Er, and Hou Junji seemed to have become the wind indicator.
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Gail. Bagado stood up, intending to continue to impress Gu Hao with her cooking skills and sincerity.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhang Qianshi walking over.
"…I want to help."
Zhang Qianshi said.
Gail. Bagado was surprised. She wanted to ask,"Have you been waiting in the courtyard all night?" But when she thought of her "mute girl" persona…she just nodded.
The two of them worked together to make a sumptuous breakfast for Gu Hao.
After that, Gail. Bagado pushed open Gu Hao's door alone.
She could cook together, but she didn't want anyone to help her with Gu Hao's daily needs.
Gu Hao opened his eyes and saw Gail. Bagado was pressing the blanket on her body and was suddenly speechless.
"In the future, knock on the door first.”
Gu Hao said unhappily.
She was thinking about whether she should close the door before going to bed in the future.
He did not have the habit of locking the bedroom door when he slept at home.
Moreover, Gail…After Bagatore washed his feet, he basically did not get out of bed. Bagado closed the door from the outside.
"Oh, oh."
Gail. Bagado shrunk her neck.
After that, Gu Hao started to…get dressed, wash up, and eat breakfast.
"Auntie, eat too." Gu Hao called out to Zhang Qianshi.
"Good, good, good." Zhang Qianshi hurriedly replied.
Then, he lowered his head and only ate the Hu biscuit in his hand.
Gu Hao was helpless.
He also knew that the other party was not in the mood to eat.
After all, his son was still locked up in prison.
After dinner, Gu Hao brought Zhang Qianshi into the carriage and headed straight for the Changping Public House.
After arriving.
"Old Chen, help me pass the message. I want to see General Zhang Liang.”
Gu Hao instructed.
"Yes."
"Yes, Sir." The coachman, Old Chen, responded and came to the main entrance of the duke's mansion.
Gu Hao looked at Zhang Qianshi in the carriage and said in a low voice.
According to Zhang Qianshi, she had already been wandering around the Prefecture Public House for more than two days and had been beaten up several times by the evil servants. She had no chance to see Zhang Liang.
Gu Hao suspected that someone didn't want Zhang Qianshi to see Zhang Liang.
Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler hurried over with three servants.
"Which one is the top scholar?" The middle-aged man asked when he arrived at the door.
Gu Hao stepped forward and cupped his hands."I'm Gu Hao, the top scorer of this year's examination. I'm currently a scholar of Hongwen Hall. I have something to ask of General Zhang."”
"So it's the ancient scholar. I've heard a lot about you.”The middle-aged man cupped his hands with a smile and replied,"This old servant is the Second Butler of the County Public House. You can just call me Old Zhong.
May I know why you are looking for my master?”
"Looks like you don't want to see me."
Gu Hao thought to himself.
It was understandable to send a butler to receive him, but asking him what was the matter at the door…meant that he didn't want to see him.
"Is it Zhang Liang who doesn't want to see her, or is it his wife who doesn't want to see her…" Gu Hao's mind was racing.
"It has something to do with General Qin Qiong. Uncle Zhong, please go and inform him.”
"Is it related to General Qin?" The middle-aged butler was stunned. He quickly said,"Please wait a moment. I'll go and report it now."”
As he spoke, he hurriedly ran back into the mansion.
This time, Gu Hao had waited for a long time.
"It's so early in the morning. Can't you let me sleep? Can't you come back in the afternoon?”
A slightly irritable voice rang out.
Immediately after, Gu Hao saw a middle-aged man in a military uniform walking over with majestic steps.
Zhang Liang, General of Youwei, Duke of Changping.
"Why are you looking for me?"
When they arrived at the door, Zhang Liang glanced at Gu Hao and asked with a displeased expression.
Gu Hao laughed and turned to look at the carriage. He said gently,""Auntie, come down."
Zhang Qianshi walked out of the carriage.
Zhang Liang's expression changed instantly. He glared at Gu Hao and said angrily,""Didn't you say that you came to find me because of Uncle Bao?”
"General Zhang, are you sure you want me to say it here?" Gu Hao asked slowly.”
"You…" Zhang Liang's face twitched as he said in a muffled voice,"Come in."”
Gu Hao smiled.
He reached out to support Zhang Qianshi's shoulder and said softly,""Let's go."
"Yes." Zhang Qianshi gave a soft hum, and her originally nervous heart instantly calmed down a lot.
He arrived at the mansion's study.
After sitting down, Zhang Liang looked at Gu Hao and asked with a frown,"
"What is it?"
"Shen Zhi has been captured. You have to save him.”Zhang Qianshi said anxiously.
"Who is Shen Zhi?" Zhang Liang frowned.
"Our youngest son." Zhang Qianshi quickly said.
"Where did the youngest son come from?" Zhang Liang shouted coldly.”
"You…I got pregnant after you left.”Zhang Qianshi was so anxious that tears came out.
Zhang Liang frowned.
He felt a little guilty.
Back then, when he returned home in glory, he had tried to live with Zhang Qianshi.
However, he couldn't take it anymore. Especially compared to the current Madam.
In those few days, it was indeed possible for him to keep the child…but…"Are you sure this Shenzhi is my child?
”
Zhang Liang asked with a frown.
"What…what do you mean?"
The honest Zhang Qianshi was stunned.
At this moment…"Old Master means that the child you're pregnant with…is a bastard!
”
A crisp and cold laugh rang out.
