Chapter 173: Xiliang Appoints a Crown Prince
After the Regent agreed to Su Wan's diagnosis, Su Wan had no trouble in the Regent's Mansion.
The doorman led Su Wan to the door of the study and then retreated.
Luo Cheng was guarding the door of the study. When he saw Su Wan and Gu Huaizhi coming, he walked over in two steps as if he saw a savior: "You are finally here! The master was in the study yesterday and has not come out until now. He did not take the medicinal bath last night and did not take the medicine."
"You shouldn't indulge him. Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?" The Regent gave in several times, and Su Wan's courage grew fatter. He was not afraid of him at all. He raised his hand and pushed open the door, "I'll go and see."
The windows in the room were closed and the light was a little dim.
The Regent sat in an armchair, leaning back on the chair, with his hands folded on his abdomen. The light and shadow shone on his face, and his contours were deep.
There were piles of official documents on the desk, and a delicate document was spread in the middle.
Her abruptness did not cause any reaction from the Regent.
Su Wan looked over and saw the contents of the document clearly, and her pupils tightened.
This was a document sent by the envoy of the Western Liang Kingdom. The Western Liang Kingdom wanted to confer the title of the Crown Princess and invited the Great Zhou Kingdom to attend the ceremony.
The Regent had just learned that his mother might be the Queen of the Western Liang Kingdom. He had sent people to investigate but had not received any news. Instead, he waited for the news of the conferment of the Crown Princess.
Gu Huaizhi said that the Regent knew that the Queen of Western Liang had princes and princesses, but at that time he did not know that the Queen of Western Liang might be her mother. Now that there is this speculation, and the probability is very high, he must be very depressed when he received this document.
He stayed in the study for a day and a night.
"You shouldn't abuse your body like this."
Su Wan walked around the desk and held the Regent's wrist. He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of red bloodshot, and shot at her fiercely. Seeing her young face, the Regent was stunned for a while, and it took a long time before he came to his senses. He retracted his gaze, slowly closed his eyes, broke away from Su Wan's hand, and frowned.
The head hurt like a sharp knife cutting out the meridians in his brain.
He pressed his forehead. He sat for too long and his whole body was stiff.
The regent said coldly: "I will cooperate with you."
"Sitting for a whole day and night, not taking the medicinal bath, not taking the medicine, and not having three meals a day, is this your cooperation?" Su Wan was very annoyed when facing the disobedient patient. She firmly held his wrist to feel his pulse. Seeing that the situation was stable, Su Wan held back her temper and did not lose her temper.
She said unhappily: "She left everything in the Great Zhou Kingdom at the beginning, just to make a break and go to Xiliang Kingdom to start over. She is the queen of Xiliang Kingdom. It is impossible for the harem to be empty, and it is impossible for her to have no heirs to inherit the throne."
"All we can do is to be well and not disturb each other."
When Su Wan first heard the news, it took a while to digest it.
Although I don't know why my mother abandoned her lover and children and returned to Xiliang Kingdom for more than ten years without asking. But she has made a choice. It is not realistic for a generation of queen to have no man and no children around her.
In this case, let's keep the status quo.
"Your body is not suitable for long-distance travel. Sending envoys to Xiliang Kingdom?" Su Wan looked at his slightly pale face, with a sick look between his eyebrows, and slowed down his tone: "You are the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom. If you go there in person, it will be very disadvantageous to both you and her if people find out something."
"Noisy." The regent picked up the document and put it on her head, his eyes were disgusted, and his voice was cold: "Who gave you the confidence to be the master of this king?"
Su Wan took the document and said frankly: "You gave it to you."
The regent's veins were throbbing, and his headache became worse.
Su Wan saw that he restrained the urge to throw her out, and couldn't help laughing, flattering him: "I am giving you advice. People look forward and can't live in the past. You are such a wise person, you should know this truth, right?"
The regent couldn't bear it anymore, and said sternly: "Luo Cheng, please ask Miss Su to leave."
"I will go by myself, don't ask!" Su Wan put the document back on the table. The enthronement ceremony will be at the end of December.
It is September now, and there are still more than three months.
It will take two months to reach Xiliang Kingdom by galloping and traveling day and night. If it is according to the normal process, it will take more than three months, and we will leave soon.
She walked out of the study and told Luo Cheng: "Go and make a medicinal bath for the Regent to soak in. After the bath, prepare food for him to eat." After a pause, she remembered the Regent's forbearance of her, and said with a curved lip: "If he refuses to eat, tell me, I will pack my bag and stay in the Regent's mansion."
This sentence was very loud, and the Regent heard it. The veins on the back of his hand were hideous, and he wanted to tie Su Wan up and feed her to the fish. He frowned and said angrily: "Luo Cheng, bring the medicinal bath!"
"Master, I will bring it right away!" Luo Cheng left in a hurry.
Su Wan's eyes flashed with cunning. The Regent looked unkind, but he was soft inside.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she said depressedly: "Huaizhi, am I so annoying?"
The regent, who didn't want to live, actually cooperated so well to prevent her from living in the mansion.
Gu Huaizhi laughed: "No, if you are not pleasing, your godfather will tie you up and sink you into the pond."
How could he allow her to run wild in his territory?
Su Wan put her hands behind her back, staring at him with her black and moist eyes, smiling brightly: "So, you like me?"
Gu Huaizhi looked into her eyes, which were filled with a piece of fragmented light, and the light was fascinating.
He was silent for a moment, and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Su Wan's eyes widened, extremely surprised.
She thought Gu Huaizhi would not answer.
Su Wan smiled with her eyes curved and her chin slightly raised: "I allow you to like me. After all, I am so likable that it is difficult for you to dislike me against your will."
Gu Huaizhi pinched her pointed chin and said with a dark look: "Thank you, Madam, for your generosity."
Su Wan rubbed her chin: "Does it feel good?"
Gu Huaizhi did not answer, but pinched her cheek.
"Not bad."
Su Wan glared.
Gu Huaizhi curled his lips.
Su Wan was too lazy to pay attention to him and planned to go to the front hall to wait for Luo Cheng.
Suddenly, Gu Huaizhi held her hand and pulled it hard. Su Wan fell into his arms, and before she could react, her arm was supported by him.
He bent down and kissed her forehead.
"!!!"
Su Wan's cheeks flushed, as if she had forgotten to be angry.
"Let's go." Gu Huaizhi let go of Su Wan and calmly took her hand to the front hall.
Su Wan followed his steps like a fool.
"Have you told your godfather?" Gu Huaizhi asked her to sit in the chair.
"Advise him to be more open-minded." Su Wan came back to his senses, brushed the hair off his forehead, and sighed, "The envoy of Xiliang sent a document to invite Dazhou to attend the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Princess. Throughout the dynasties, no other country would be invited to attend the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince. Unless it is these two messages, the first is to convey the importance of the crown prince. The second is about the alliance. I don't know what the message from Xiliang is."
