(NEW)
"Your Majesty, why don't we make a bet, anyway, I won't leave for three months, if I win the bet, please let Your Majesty let me go as an ordinary person." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"What if you lose?"
"If you lose, Your Majesty can gamble whatever he wants."
"Okay, if you lose, drink the water of forgetfulness, don't worry, even if you don't remember everything in the past, I won't bring you to the palace to become the imperial concubine of the harem, what I want is not an imperial concubine, but a wife who loves me wholeheartedly."
Gu smiled faintly: "Which of Your Majesty's imperial concubines doesn't love you wholeheartedly?" ā
"Everyone's love is different, maybe sending a dress is called love, maybe being by your side is called love, what I want is your sincerity."
Jin Rong looked at her with determination in his eyes, maybe many people envied his imperial concubine, she had no worries about food and clothing, and there were not so many fights, he was very good to them, no matter what they were born in, he didn't mind.
In fact, only he knew that he would marry so many concubines after he was not allowed to stand up, with various backgrounds, and even some women were not born clean.
He wanted to prove that Shen Li was wrong, he felt that when some women from different births were together, the harem would be in chaos, and then he could tell Ming Li that his idea was wrong.
However, when he put such a group of women together, nothing too big happened, until Gu Liu's appearance made the originally peaceful harem murderous.
He had thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be done by Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rong.
Concubine Xiu used to be the widow of a courtier, when he married her, there was opposition in the court, but Ming Li did not express his position, and in the end he married her, everything was peaceful, as for Concubine Rong, her birth was even more lowly, she was just a dancing girl she met during her inspection that year.
He didn't expect such a two-person woman to have such a ruthless heart, which made him have a new definition of a woman, and he felt even more precious.
"Tell me, what do you want to bet on?"
"No matter how Your Majesty punishes the people before you, someone will come and harm me later."
"I can govern the world, I think that Yun Guo doesn't have to be worse than Luo Guo, the people I want to protect, no one will dare to hurt you again, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, I am not unsure." Jin Rong felt that he had thought too much about this matter.
"Three months, three months, as long as someone attacks me, I will win, can Your Majesty accept this gamble?"
"Of course, I'll show you that even if someone wants to hurt you, they won't dare to do anything."
Gu turned to look into the distance, and a gust of wind blew in the garden, blowing the flowers and plants in the garden, and the snow trees planted on one side began to scatter petals.
She believes that Jin Rong is serious, but people's hearts are really scary, especially women, you can never imagine what they can do, once a woman loses her mind, there is really no difference from a demon.
The more Jin Rong makes an exception to her, the more they will hate her, even if the imperial power is above, they will do it regardless of life and death, what she gambles on is a woman's heart.
Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rong have already gotten the news that Jin Rong found out that the previous assassination was related to them, Concubine Rong was born as a dancing girl and had no background in the palace, but she entered the palace very early, coupled with her outstanding appearance, she knew how to cater to others more because of her background, so she slowly established her own contacts in the palace.
Concubine Xiu is everyone's best girl, and the people of the family feel extremely favored after she becomes the imperial concubine, so they are not afraid of this matter.
Although Jin Rong found out that the matter was related to them, there was no direct evidence, because they all let people who had nothing to do with it, and even the people who did it didn't know who assigned it, so what else was there to worry about?
"Commander Wu seems to have found some definite evidence, I don't know if my sister has any news here?" Concubine Rong asked, she was also dissatisfied with Gu Li's existence, and when she saw Concubine Xiu's killing intent, she planned to help her in the back.
"I also inquired, he just traced that those killers were bought to kill people, and the silver ingots used were only circulated in the imperial capital, so he speculated that they were the people of the imperial power and nobles, and this is the conclusive evidence in my sister's mouth."
After listening to Concubine Xiu's words, Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "These people of the Silver Ingot Emperor are all using it, and it doesn't hurt to find out, at most it is just some suspicion and speculation, but will we continue next, or wait and see?" ā
The handkerchief in Concubine Xiu's hand was slowly clenched, and she was unwilling to die, but now her strength was not enough, she had to prepare a more powerful blow, so that she had no power to survive!
"This time we were careless, I thought that the surprise attack would make them defenseless, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be so serious about her, and he rebuilt the small building early. A demon girl like the Gu family, we didn't like it when we saw it at the beginning, but now she has scourged Luoguo like that, and His Majesty is also confused by her, we can't stand by and watch, we must find a way to find more helpers. ā
"What my sister said is very true, but in this harem, everyone is kind, and how many people are willing to stand out like you and me? Aren't they all waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman? Concubine Rong complained.
"Sister, don't worry, if something happens in the harem, everyone is guilty of the same crime, no matter who did it, Your Majesty will be angry with everyone, I don't believe it, who else can really protect himself at that time!"
Jin Rong asked the guards to continue the investigation, and he had to get direct evidence, the women of the harem had been pampered for too long, and had forgotten the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he didn't want to be too decisive, but if they didn't know how to cherish them, they could be made concubines at the beginning, and now they can be abolished.
Gu returned to the small building, which had already been cleaned, without any traces of fighting, and had just eaten some food in the morning, so before noon, she felt very hungry.
Lunch was also made by the lame man, and after asking his name, the next person said that his name was Qizhuzi, and he was sick when he was a child, which caused inconvenience in his legs and feet, and the family thought that calling Zhuzi might be able to cure his leg disease.
Ancient people were like this, the name was simple, but it contained the most direct and simple expectations of the family.
In her opinion, Qizhuzi is a poor person, he is in poor health when he is old, he is ugly, and he must be lonely and old.
"Did the cooks who came to cook give any reward?"
"Miss, don't worry, Your Majesty has given you a reward." The maid said on the side.
"If you can give him more, he is also a poor man, and it is difficult for him to have a craft to make a living."
"Yes."
Gu suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped the maid.
"By the way, he can't speak, how do you know his name? Could he be able to write? (To be continued.) )
