It wasn't until after Duke Bai went out that Gu Juan withdrew the gaze that had been focused on him, and asked with some doubts, "The minister only felt something when he came over today, Duke Bai seems to be much weaker than before, and the level of strength seems to be decreasing all the time?"

Facing Gu Juan's inquiry, Xu Zhengyuan's eyes flashed, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "You are right, since the beginning of winter last year, Gonggong Bai has been getting weaker and weaker day by day, and after the New Year's Festival, it has even fallen to about half of its heyday, and it has not recovered until now." ”

Gu Juan lowered his gaze and landed on the tea cup in front of him, and fell silent with Xu Zhengyuan opposite.

I have to say that Bai Gonggong is very good at covering up his own problems, if he hadn't started to come into contact with the Shen Wangqi Technique now, and wanted to explore the "Pupil Technique" that Bai Gonggong had cultivated, he might not have discovered this situation.

So, what caused such a great martial arts master as Gonggong Bai to weaken like this?

Gu Juan took a sip of the fragrant tea, and instantly put this question behind him.

Forget it, think so much about what to do.

This matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to get involved, but when he sees it, he is curious, so he asks a question, and if he gets an accurate answer, it is over.

As for the process of solving the problem, what the steps are and what happens, he doesn't care at all, let alone know.

I don't know if the imperial dining room in the palace has been prepared in advance, but less than a quarter of an hour after Father-in-law Bai went out, a team of eunuchs came over with food boxes, and poured wine and cloth dishes in front of the two of them.

Gu Juan smelled the fragrance on his face, raised his glass to Xu Zhengyuan, and after drinking it all, he picked up a chopstick and braised pork and ate it slowly, just wanted to drink another cup, but saw several palace maids coming in from outside the door, and a woman in palace clothes wearing a fox fur.

He glanced at it before looking away, took another sip from his glass, and began to sweep through the dishes on the table.

It was Concubine Ling who came in, Xu Dingbian and his mother.

Gu Juan didn't know what this woman was going to do when she didn't sleep at night, but he didn't want to know, it was best that it had nothing to do with him, but even if it had something to do with him, it didn't matter, it was a big deal not to eat this table, and go out of the palace to Wang Huodao to buy some wine and food to fill his stomach.

Concubine Ling walked into the Qinzheng Palace, first curtsied to Emperor Wei, and then took a small porcelain vase from the palace maid behind her, I don't know what it contains.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhengyuan frowned slightly, with an uncertain look on his face.

"The concubine just happened to meet Father-in-law Bai, and when she learned that Her Majesty wanted to eat a few glasses of water and wine at night, she thought of taking out a few bottles of potpourri brew from her treasure and offering them to Your Majesty to taste. ”

When Concubine Ling said this, she turned her head and glanced at Gu Ju, who was eating and drinking according to the case, and then said, "The concubine didn't expect that Commander Gu was also in the palace, so it seems that the Baihua Brew is a little less." ”

Xu Zhengyuan didn't speak, didn't even raise his head, just slowly tasted the tea in the porcelain cup, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly quieted down, with a little dullness and embarrassment.

Gu Juan put down the chopsticks, bowed to Concubine Ling casually, and said with a slight smile on his face, "Concubine Ling is not polite, I am a rough person, I am good at drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, but I can't taste good wine or bad wine, so even if it is a jade liquid, if I put it here, it will actually taste similar to the big urn shochu in the alley on the street." ”

"But although I'm a rough person, I'm not deaf or blind, Concubine Ling came over in the wind and snow, and I can guess what the reason is...... It's not too early now, and I won't be verbose, so I will directly make it clear, that is, about the matter of His Royal Highness, please rest assured that Concubine Ling, he actually has nothing to do, and when he sleeps, he is a lively young man, and he has not been hurt at all. ”

Speaking of this, he restrained his smile, looked down at the verdant and green vegetables on the table, and waited for a moment before continuing, "It's just that these young people who have been spoiled since childhood seem to have experienced a lot of things, but at most they have only experienced a layer of skin, and the main manifestation is that they often hope that others will respect their opinions like real adults, but they must tolerate their mistakes like babies, which is the most intuitive manifestation of the lack of grinding and beating." ”

"But then again, with my current level, I won't be really embarrassed to be a child with him, don't look at anything else, even if it's for the sake of His Majesty's reward for wine and food, when I was injured last year, the Duke of Lingguo sent someone to visit, as long as His Royal Highness doesn't get too involved in the strange news incident and does too much, I will turn a blind eye, gently pick it up and put it down, and it won't implicate his head. ”

"The minister said this, but Concubine Ling understood?"

"I understand, I still want to thank Mr. Gu for raising your noble hand......"

"No, thank you don't have to...... Actually, I bullied your son, and it's normal for Concubine Ling to have a grudge against me in her heart. ”

Gu Juan interrupted her words directly, picked up a basket and stared at the green vegetables that had been staring at it for a long time and ate it slowly, and then continued, "I am sitting here today, maybe the shelf is so big that it violates the etiquette system, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority in what I say, which makes Niangniang look and sound very uncomfortable, even if it is not revealed on the surface, but inside I may have already arranged I don't know how many crimes and how many times I have been imprisoned." ”

But this is the reality, today's world, today's world, is no longer than before, so Niang Niang must still learn to look at the problem from the perspective of development, to try to take the initiative to adapt to the changes in the general trend, and try to seek more things for themselves in the change, can not be confined to their own inherent ideas in the past, otherwise in the future will eventually suffer a big loss, luck will be a little bit almost lost life, and luck is much worse, that is, the tragic ending of not being able to survive and dying. ”

"Okay, that's all I say, this is also for the sake of some friendship and face in the past, so I will say a few more words, listen to it or not, it all depends on the mother herself, and I actually have nothing to do with it. ”

Xu Zhengyuan didn't know when he had closed his eyes, and he didn't react to Gu Ju's unscrupulous and undisguised words, as if he had already fallen asleep on the back of the chair.

Concubine Ling was silent for a long time, then suddenly bowed to Gu Ju, sighed faintly and said, "Please also ask Mr. Gu to teach me." ”

Gu Juan took a drink from the wine glass, and also sighed lowly, "The world has changed greatly, the building will fall, I don't know what Qiankun wants, whether manpower can win the sky, it's just to do his best, not to obey the mandate of heaven, take one step at a time, I don't know how far I can go in the end, I don't even know if I can see the sun behind me again." ”

"But since the mother begged for my head, then I can't help but give some face...... In this way, when the Second Highness really figured it out, he could let him come to the mansion to find me, no matter what, it could also ask him to increase his ability to survive in the drastic changes of heaven and earth, and when the great changes really came, he could have a little more certainty of surviving. ”
