Chapter 11 Give me a month, I will definitely be able to travel back
Looking at Sima Yao's earnest eyes, Gu Nianzhi couldn't bring himself to speak the words "the prince is about to die".
"Your Highness may think too highly of me." Gu Nianzhi evaded the question, "The so-called foresight is nothing more than my deduction based on the information I have already acquired and the general laws and logic of the development of things. The accuracy is not as high as you think. The marriage of the crown prince involves the fate of the two countries, so I dare not speak rashly. However, if it goes ahead, it will definitely be dangerous, and the crown prince must be more cautious."
"The Queen's party is ambitious. They will never let my eldest brother sit on the throne of the Crown Prince easily. I always feel that there is something fishy about this marriage, but I can't produce any definite evidence to change my father's mind."
“The more complicated things are, the more you have to trust your intuition and instinct.” That’s all Gu Nianzhi could say. If he gave away too many spoilers, the book would be ruined.
"The prince has arrived!" A message interrupted their conversation.
Gu Nianzhi finally didn't have to rack her brains to answer the Third Prince's questions. She looked towards the yard curiously, followed Lin Heng out of the room, stood aside, and waited for the Crown Prince.
Gu Nianzhi really wanted to see what this kind-hearted and perfect prince in the original book looked like.
If there had been no communication, Gu Nianzhi might have thought that the man in front of him was just a gentle scholar.
He was not wearing the prince's dragon robe, but only casual clothes.
"See the prince..."
"Please stand up quickly." He complained helplessly: "I have told you so many times, as long as we are not in the court, there is no need for us to perform such a grand ceremony as brothers who grew up together. It will only make us alienated."
Gu Nianzhi knelt down with everyone else, and then stood up with everyone else.
The prince came closer to her, and she could see his face clearly.
In the original book, the prince's mother, Queen Chun, was the daughter of Prince Zhennan.
The Prince of Zhennan was an important minister of the founding of the country. He made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion of Prime Minister Nan. After Prime Minister Nan surrendered to Da Sheng and returned to the capital, the famous Prince of Zhennan Palace was built in the capital.
Unfortunately, rumors have it that the Prince of Zhennan had fought in the Southern Kingdom for decades and had been poisoned by a local Gu, making him inhumane.
Even after he retired from office, the Prince of Zhennan married several wives and concubines, but none of them had children.
Therefore, Queen Chun, the eldest daughter born to Prince Zhennan after he first arrived in the Southern Prime Minister's Kingdom, became the only descendant of Prince Zhennan. However, the identity of Queen Chun's biological mother was unknown, and there were even rumors that Queen Chun was born to a woman from the Southern Prime Minister's Kingdom. This matter was made a fuss by some people when Queen Chun was canonized as queen. Fortunately, Queen Chun had been raised by the then queen mother since she was a child, and the canonization received the full support of the empress dowager, and she successfully ascended to the throne.
The eldest prince was appointed crown prince at the age of six. Queen Chun passed away a few years later. Just one year later, Prince Zhennan also died mysteriously...
From then on, the eldest prince no longer had any power from his mother's family to protect him in the court.
As one grew stronger, the other weakened. The power of the Second Prince and the new Queen was at its peak, and more than half of the people in the court became their minions, either openly or covertly.
Sima Yao knew very well that the eldest prince was in a very difficult situation, but he was determined to help him secure his position as crown prince and even ascend to the throne of emperor in the future.
"This... I think this is the Mr. Gu that Third Brother mentioned?"
The topic soon turned to Gu Nianzhi. She quickly came back to her senses and respectfully bowed to the prince: "Your Highness has good eyesight. It is me."
"Everyone in Third Brother's house looks familiar to me, except you, sir. I guess it must be you."
As the crown prince, he lived in the East Palace in the imperial city, but the other princes had to move out of the palace and live in their own residences before or after they came of age unless there were special circumstances.
The Zhennan Palace had been vacant since the death of the Zhennan Prince. When Sima Yao came of age, the Crown Prince arranged to ask the Emperor to grant the Zhennan Palace to Sima Yao. When the Crown Prince was out of the palace, he would always take time to visit the Zhennan Palace, not only because it reminded him of his mother and grandfather, but more importantly, his grandfather left a secret passage and secret room when he built the palace. It was much more reassuring to discuss military and national affairs with the Third Prince here than in the inner courtyard of the palace.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were in front, followed closely by Gu Nianzhi and Lin Heng. The four of them walked into the dark room and then into the secret passage.
"Mr. Gu had already made it clear yesterday about what was happening today, and the current situation is developing exactly as Mr. Gu said." Sima Yao said to the prince. "I didn't believe there was such a capable person in the world, but Mr. Gu's ability is indeed beyond my previous imagination."
“Your Highness the Third Prince, you flatter me. I was just guessing, and I happened to guess it right…” Gu Nianzhi felt that things were getting out of hand.
"Sir, there is no need to be so modest. There are many talented people in this world. If they can all be used by the court, it will be a blessing for all people. I am concerned about the position of crown prince, not because I am greedy for the power of the crown prince, but I am worried that if I abdicate, Sima Ye and the queen's party will be ambitious and have no mercy. The world will be in chaos and the people will be displaced..." the crown prince said.
"It is just as the prince said..." Gu Nianzhi recalled what was written in the book. After the second prince ascended the throne, he was indeed cruel and ruthless. Not only did the people of Dasheng suffer, but even many neighboring countries such as Qiangyi, Nanxiang, Cinan, and Xiwu were also affected by the war. There were wars for decades without peace...
"Since you have the ability to predict the future, please enlighten me. If Sima Hui goes to Qiangyi, what will his future be like?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't know how to answer. He had spoiled the story at the beginning, saying shamelessly that within three days the Emperor would issue an imperial decree for the Crown Prince to personally go to Qiangyi to deliver the imperial edict of marriage. This was just a stopgap measure to gain the trust of the Third Prince and save his life. However, he didn't expect that because of his "brilliant foresight" in this matter, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince valued him so much.
"Crown Prince, Third Prince, you two don't need to be too anxious. Even if the Emperor issues an imperial decree tomorrow, the marriage will not take place immediately. The preparations will take at least a month. During this period, everything may have a chance to turn around." If you can't solve the problem, just put it off. In a month, I don't believe I can't find a way to travel back. The more Gu Nianzhi thought about it, the more he felt that he was really smart.
"Brother, Mr. Gu is right. We must not panic. With Mr. Gu helping us, there are corresponding solutions for everything." Sima Yao said.
The two discussed some recent court affairs. Gu Nianzhi pretended to listen, but was actually looking at this first stop he had traveled through.
When I woke up, I first appeared behind the screen.
Then I heard the conversation between Sima Yao and Lin Heng.
In the real world, I fainted in the basement, and this is also a basement.
The place where it disappeared was the basement, and the place where it appeared was also the basement.
Could it be that the reason for this time travel was that the two spaces overlapped due to some coincidence, and at that moment, I happened to be in one of the spaces, so I was folded into the other space?
The time I traveled through was around four in the afternoon. Is it possible that as long as I stayed in the place where I traveled through at this time, I could travel back again?
