Still in Tang.
Canzuo also wanted to ease the anger of the great General, for the tragic events that befell his son and grandson (the deaths of Gutingye and Gutingyan), so as not to commit acts of rebellion.
''Honorable servant of His Majesty the emperor, may you always be prosperous.'' Said a woman, in a soft and calm voice.
............................
A man with a hectic busyness piled in front of him, was opening an important box with imperial seals from other countries, looked anxiously on his firm face and look.
However, on that face was also clearly a great curiosity.
Canzuo slowly opened the sealer, moving his hand to grab a key tucked behind the box.
''Kletek.kletek.clak.''
Two sons slowly, managed to open the box lock.
Emperor Canzuo took a deep breath for a moment, before starting to open the object.
With a pounding heart, he began to move his hands, lifting the box cover, and looking at the contents inside.
His eyes were wide for a moment, when the box had opened. Slowly his big hand grabbed one of the 4 other objects in the box.
''It turns out, this is true as I thought.'' Mumbled wailing.
There was a smile on his face, as if he had found the most precious thing in this world.
Without him noticing, a face full of happiness etched clearly there, the young Emperor was unable to describe the happiness in his heart.
''It turns out that I am not alone in this world.we are people of the same world, I have to talk to you, have to...'' Canzuo continued in a soft voice.
''Your Highness, the eunuch's servant Yu, wishes to inform you that the concubine of the majesty is visiting.'' Said a eunuch, who had just entered his room.
''Awake up... Let him in.'' Answer Canzuo.
''Your Majesty, I'm resigning.'' Answer the eunuch, with great reverence.
''What a coincidence, I was indeed wanting to meet him, wasn't he the right person to approach you?, he was the younger brother of your husband back then, and I guess you definitely won't turn down his request.'' Thought in Canzuo's heart.
''Honorable servant of His Majesty the emperor, may you always be prosperous.'' Greet a woman, with a soft and calm voice.
The woman who was none other than the concubine of grandeur, saluted with a body a little at the lowly.
Emperor Canzuo immediately stood up from his seat, as well as approached the concubine.
''Here it is, when we are both, do not do this formality again.'' He said while helping the concubine lift the body, and took her to walk to the chair in the room.
''What brought you here today concubine?, why did you make yourself tired by coming here?.'' Canzuo asked in a soft voice, as if he was regretting the arrival of the woman.
Which basically he was feeling happy, because there was no need to bother coming to see Gu's woman, said.
Canzuo had a second plan, which was much more effective for approaching Ziaruo, and this time he wanted to make use of the woman in front of him at this moment.
Hearing the attention of the emperor, concubine Gu felt a multiplied happiness.
Until a smile, printed clearly on her beautiful face without her noticing.
''This woman deliberately came to meet her majesty, because she wanted to greet His Majesty.'' The concubine replied in a soft voice.
''Oohhh...... Is that really all?.'' Sahut Canzuo with a slightly seductive tone.
Concubine Gu stared for a moment at the husband, and immediately lowered her head back.
Seeing the concubine blush in embarrassment, Emperor Canzuo again said. ''What is it?, say. I'm sure there's something you want to tell the concubine.'' Asked Canzuo again, He felt that something had brought the woman, coming to see him.
''Emmm...Your Majesty, there is good news that this woman wants to tell you.'' Concubine Gu answered with bright eyes.
Emperor Canzuo frowned for a moment, he walked up to Consort Gu.
His big hand grabbed the body of the concubine, and carried her up onto the lap.
''Really?, what good news did you bring concubine?, quickly tell me.'' The Emperor returned.
Hearing Emperor Canzuo's enthusiasm with his words, concubine Gu leaned her head against the man's chest, before speaking again. ''This woman is carrying the imperial successor in her Majesty's body.''
With the sound made as calm as possible, he asked again. ''Is that really the concubine?, has it been confirmed?.''
''Eemmm...'' Briefly answer concubine Gu, while nodding her head slowly.
The woman, looking happy, in the same position, leaned against the chest of the emperor's field.
He was not aware of the change in the face of the man, who was now darkening, and looked eerie on his head.
Even the eunuch accompanying the Emperor, who was there began to feel a great fear.
''When did you confirm the concubine?, and which healer examined you?.'' Canzuo asked back.
''This morning, Your Majesty, and the one examining is the healer from the treatment hall. In fact he also advised not to move much, because this is only at the beginning of pregnancy.'' Answer the concubine again.
''Is His Majesty happy?.'' Ask back concubine Gu, still in the same position.
Hearing the question from the concubine, Canzuo's heart rumbled, there was an enormous anger there.
But for now, he did not want to cause trouble and provoke the general's anger.
However, more than half of the imperial army was under the command of his father-in-law, and he was not a bod*h man.
''How can I be happy, that baby is a threat to me, even more so if he is a prince.'' He murmured in his heart.
Emperor Canzuo thought the baby in the concubine's womb was an accident to the throne and its position.
Because General Gu's power will be more entrenched, if his daughter gives birth to a prince.
He does not yet have a crown prince.
Emperor Canzuo had only 4 daughters from his women, and if concubine Gu bore a son, then indirectly the title of Empress and crown prince fell to him.
And indirectly, the power of the Gu family will not be shaken anymore.
While all this time, Emperor Canzuo was trying to suppress the power of the General.
As a result, their relationship is now stretched.
He knew clearly that General Gu had been disappointed with him since the death of Gutingye and his grandson Gutingyan.
In fact, General Gu had several times, expressing dissatisfaction, over some decisions from Emperor Canzuo.
However, Emperor Canzuo did not realize, that it was deliberately done by the general, because indeed he felt dissatisfied with the decision taken, not for personal reasons.
General Gu is famous for being very cruel, even he once burned down a village indiscriminately, be it women or children.
As long as it was the Emperor's order, even if it went against his heart, he would still carry it out.
Because of this, General Gu received the title of ruthless general from n*r*ka.
But a fear of error, turns blinding the eyes of one's heart, the loyalty and devotion of the general, is considered an attempt to vent his dissatisfaction.
Moreover, there are some parties who deliberately exacerbate the estrangement between them.
With the face and voice made as calm as possible, Canzuo replied. "What do you think?, of course I'm happy concubine, and if the next born is a prince, isn't that good news." Canzuo replied, as if she was happy about the concubine's pregnancy.
"Oh yes.you should also be prepared to be ready to join in welcoming guests from the empire, is that fine for you?, I don't want anything to happen to our baby." Canzuo flat continue.
Hearing the remark, concubine Gu felt at the attention of the emperor, he felt as if everything was beautiful back then.
However, the extent of the footsteps, and any amount of trying to understand, still can not measure the depth of the heart.
Canzuo was like a fox in the skin of the poet of love in front of concubine Gu.
However, with a devious plan, and heinous is being prepared by a beloved man in his mind.
"Again, shouldn't you also start acting as an empress, because I'm sure that the baby you bear is a prince." Said the Emperor again, he wanted to bring the dream and imagination of the concubine, soaring high.
And sure enough, for the woman is not denied anymore, her wishful thinking has now been coupled with clouds in the blue sky.
He did not realize the danger that was ready to pull him to the bottom of the valley of destruction, even a chaos that would drag his whole family into the abyss.
Truly the heart of man is incomparable for its depth, benevolent is not a guarantee of the same impact from the other heart.
