Although on the night after King Gaomi rebelled, when Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan analyzed the situation, they were worried about their sister Meng Guihuan, who was still in the Guangling Palace, but at that time, the brothers were not afraid and did not hold out hope.

Or even quite hopeful.

As soon as Meng Guihuan came to be a woman, and King Gaomi forced the palace abruptly, the Meng faction in Chang'an City did not react at all, even if King Gaomi wanted to settle accounts, there were more creditors, and it would not be Meng Guihuan's turn in a short period of time, not to mention that as long as King Gaomi's brain was not broken, he should know the top priority, which is to control the situation, not to vent grievances.

The second is that Meng Guiyu tried every means to force Gongsun Shu and others to take refuge in himself: as long as he is in power, even if Meng Guihuan is in danger, he will always be treated especially because of his brother's powerful position, even if it is a hostage, it is better than being carelessly stabbed.

Meng Guiyu thought that he was moving fast enough, especially the opportunity given by Shu Zhaoyi, how could he save Meng Guihuan's life.

It's just that he didn't expect that Meng Guihuan did not die at the hands of King Gaomi, nor did he commit suicide out of consideration of not dragging down his brother, but he was unexpectedly strangled by her elderly husband and died.

In fact, not to mention the Meng Guiyu brothers, who only received the news two days after their sister went, it was King Gaomi, who received the report for the first time, because they felt incredible, and they were in a trance for a moment: "Guangling...... Kill yourself?"

The people below hung their hands and were about to answer, when they saw King Gaomi holding the bookcase and slowly getting up.

He got up very slowly, not the staggering of old age, nor the weakness of a great blow, but full of hesitation and sadness.

“…… Let's go and see for yourself. King Gaomi looked down at the mountain of official documents in front of him, was silent for a moment, and finally said faintly, "Before the first emperor died, he repeatedly told Gu to protect him, Gu ...... Lone always thought that Lone had done it. ”

From the time he was the prince, the chamberlains who accompanied him understood his feelings, went out to say something, and after a while, he arranged a carriage and guards, and sent King Gaomi to the palace of Guangling.

In fact, at this time, there was nothing to see in the Guangling Palace, because the King of Guangling first killed a group of backyards, including Meng Guihuan, and then many of his children, including Rong Qing'an, who deceived the world, took poison, and then poured all the huge mansions with fire oil, and after igniting them, he raised his sword to kill himself.

The self-killing sword is made of good material, and it still retains most of its silhouette when it is turned out of the ruins.

The guards held King Gaomi with both hands, King Gaomi looked at the sword, and said for a long time: "This is the year when Guangling tied his hair, when he was alone, when he personally taught him swordsmanship, he picked out the blades left by the first emperor and gave it to him." He used this sword to kill himself, did he want to explain to the world that he was sorry for him?"

The chamberlain next to him had heard a message from a distance and wanted to tell him, but at this time he was a little hesitant.

King Gaomi noticed, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

“…… Lord, there are still survivors in the Guangling Palace, that is, the world's wife Zhao Taojiao and a pair of children. The chamberlain said cautiously, "The reason for surviving is that when the King of Guangling held a family banquet, the lord of Guide County occasionally felt unwell, and the prince and grandson were not at ease, so he confessed to the King of Guangling and stayed in the house of the county lord of Guide to take care of it." King Guangling may have been afraid of arousing suspicion, so he did not force their mother and son to attend. ”

"It's just that the house of the county lord of Guide is too remote, and the prince woman found out about the fire very late, and hurriedly escaped from the fire with the county lord and his grandson, and didn't bring anything out. ”

"It was the Zhao family who received the news and sent a carriage to pick them up and go to the Zhao Mansion to live temporarily...... What do you think of this?"

King Gaomi glanced at him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "King Guangling has killed himself with the sword given to him by Gu, if Gu doesn't even take care of his only surviving son and granddaughter, what face will he have in the future, go down to see the first emperor?"

He lightly instructed, "Check the remaining properties of the Guangling Palace, and after compiling them into a book, immediately send them to the Zhao Mansion to show the princes and wives of the Guangling Palace...... Then let the lonely son-in-law choose the time to go to comfort one or two. ”

The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief, although King Guangling had been unknown both in the court and in the opposition over the years, but after all, he was the most favored prince of the first emperor when he was there.

Older courtiers all know that there are also rumors in the market, that is, if it weren't for the first emperor who really couldn't get Huan Guanlan, the person sitting on the throne now is definitely not Emperor Xuanjing, nor King Gaomi, but the youngest son of the first emperor, King Guangling.

Even if the first emperor could live a few more years and survive until King Guangling was more than ten years old and could take on the work, then those relics that have made all parties jealous so far would not be the turn of King Gaomi.

And when King Gaomi accepted these relics, he repeatedly promised that he would take good care of King Guangling.

Now that King Gaomi has rebelled, Emperor Xuanjing has not been killed, and he can only rely on rumors to hit the other party's military heart and win the hearts of the people in the world...... In this case, if he didn't treat Zhao Taojiao's mother and son well, he wouldn't have to go to Lin Yuan to publicize it, which would be enough for him to be discredited.

Therefore, when he saw that King Gaomi seemed to be angry with the sword used by King Guangling, the chamberlain couldn't help but worry, and he would be angry in his head?

"Slave and maid obey!" The waiter bowed, and when he saw King Gaomi turn around and leave, he hurriedly followed, but when he helped King Gaomi to get into the carriage, the prince suddenly turned his head, his lips almost rubbed his ear, and said in a low and fast voice: "Guangling grew up alone, and he knows best what kind of temperament he has! He would never be able to do such a drastic thing, let alone poison his own flesh and bones and burn Hefu...... Tell the people below to check Gu's carefully! Who did it!?"

In fact, it was not only King Gaomi who was so suspicious, half a day later, after receiving the instructions of his father-in-law, he hurried to Zhao Mansion to comfort the Qi family of the concubine, accompanied Zhao Taojiao to wipe her tears for a long time, and helped persuade the county lord of Guide and the grandson of the king of Guangling, and finally saw that the mother and son who had suffered a sudden accident were all tired, so they found an excuse to leave.

When I got outside, I saw Zhao Taocheng folding a branch of Lingxiao flower, and she greeted her with a depressed expression, and signaled to her chin, so she whispered: "Sister Taojiao and the two children are very tired, and they just fell asleep." ”

"I know. Zhao Taocheng sighed, "Sister-in-law just picked up the eldest sister back, and we all wanted to come and see." However, my grandmother said that the eldest sister suddenly encountered such a thing, and she must be exhausted at this time, so she told us not to disturb, and only let the second aunt and the eldest sister-in-law accompany the conversation, and then you will come. At this time, the eldest sister-in-law and the second aunt are discussing things, so it's not easy to disturb, so I'm waiting for my cousin-in-law here, and my cousin-in-law will tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Thinking of the current situation in Chang'an, as well as the embarrassing situation of the Zhao family after her own father switched to Rong Sleeping Crane, she hurriedly added, "If my cousin-in-law thinks it's not suitable to tell me, then forget it, just tell me how the eldest sister and two nephews are doing now." ”

Qi sighed, pulled her for a while, and when she arrived at a secluded pavilion, she stopped and said softly: "Don't worry about those disturbances outside, I only know that you are my sister...... It's just that I just received the news that my father asked me to come over and comfort some of my sisters. ”

She frowned, "The messenger carefully explained the ins and outs, and the Tao was that Uncle Bacheng Guangling thought that after his father presided over Chang'an, he would investigate his former switch to the Meng family, so he was full of self-indulgence, so as not to be tossed by his father...... But not to mention that my father has been reciting the promise made in front of the emperor in the past, and he will never do anything to Uncle Guangling, let's just say that Uncle Guangling is a person, we are all relatives, and we also know each other, I can't imagine that he would do such a thing!"

"......" Zhao Taocheng bit her lip and stared for a moment, also dazed, "My cousin-in-law is right, King Guangling is really not such a fierce and decisive character!"

In fact, there is no need to know much about King Guangling, just look at his switch from King Gaomi's camp to the Meng family: how can he make peace with his mother's family who killed his mother's enemy? !

"I wondered if someone was trying to frame my father?" Qi hesitated and said softly, "Because I heard that the sword used by Uncle Guangling to kill himself seems to have something to do with his father...... According to the messenger, my father was very unhappy. ”

Zhao Taocheng was also a little suspicious in her heart, and after saying a few more words to Qi's family, her sister-in-law said goodbye and wanted to go back to her house, but she was invited to the back hall by her subordinates.

In the hall, Mrs. Qin waited alone, waiting for her granddaughter to salute and ask An Bi, Wen Yan asked, "Did you just bump into your cousin-in-law?"

Zhao Taocheng lowered her head and said in a few words, and said with some anxiety: "Grandmother, my cousin said that my uncle is planning to take care of my eldest sister's mother and son." ”

"Why are you afraid that I will not be able to drive them out?" After hearing this, Old Madam Qin was thinking about it, but when she heard this, she was a little angry, and said softly, "Shan's daughter-in-law just received the news and ran over to tell me, or I made a decision to ask her to send a carriage to pick up people immediately! If I am afraid of your uncle and don't want to care about the life and death of my eldest granddaughter, why should I be such a good person?!"

Seeing Zhao Taocheng being reprimanded, she showed a touch of sadness on her face, and sighed, "Did you see the matter of Tao Makeup, and thought that I was treating you as a pawn as a granddaughter, without any sincerity? Child, why don't you tell me what Tao Makeup has done? If I don't be ruthless, think about it yourself, what will our family be like now?"

"Grandmother, granddaughter doesn't mean that, don't worry about it. Zhao Taocheng lowered her eyebrows and was very respectful, but she was actually a little dismissive of Mrs. Qin's words, in her opinion, Zhao Taocheng herself was indeed confused, but this kind of confusion, saying that there was no deliberate indulgence of Mrs. Qin, was really against her will.

However, she didn't want to argue with Old Madam Qin on this issue, so she only said, "The granddaughter is just worried about the eldest sister's mother and son, because my uncle said that he would take good care of them at this time, but my cousin-in-law said that my uncle was very angry with the prince of Guangling's self-inflicted murder, especially the sword...... The granddaughter doesn't know what will happen to the big sister next?"

Old Madam Qin looked at her, pondered for a while, and said, "You haven't seen your aunt for a few days, have you?"

"Huh?" Zhao Taocheng was stunned, in fact, since she failed to "love each other" with Rong Sleeping Crane before, except for the New Year's Festival and Princess Gaomi's birthday, she has never visited this aunt again.

Even if she had to go to the Gaomi Palace, she was still silent and tried her best to avoid any opportunity to be alone with Princess Gaomi.

Hearing her grandmother say this at this moment, Zhao Taocheng hesitated for a while before saying, "Grandmother wants me to ask my aunt about the news?" but, ...... But didn't you say two days ago that my aunt had a falling out with my uncle, and I haven't even taken a picture in the past few days?"

Old Madam Qin said lightly: "If you don't meet, you won't have to be able to do anything about your aunt." At least she stayed alone in Xiangji Hall and sulked, the huge Gaomi Palace, or she was flattering and serving as the hostess, didn't she?"

…… After sending her granddaughter to the Gaomi Mansion to find Princess Gaomi to inquire about the news, the old lady pondered for a while and called the second daughter-in-law Ji: "You find a safe and not easy to recognize the next person, and go to the Ningwei Hou Mansion to send a message!"
