Chapter 487: Accountability
Qinglan gritted his teeth and stared at Ma Huaiyi, eager to kill him immediately.
Mao Li was also caught, and he was also disgraced at the moment, and he didn't want to explain a word, and the corpse that they carried out to be disposed of was also brought back from the new one, Qinglan almost glanced at it and felt that that person was really the prince.
Qinglan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't stand at all steadily, and staggered to the side of the corpse.
His reaction made Ma Huaiyi more and more sure that this person was Gu Zhixing, and he laughed even more presumptuous for a while: "It's worth it, you will go down to accompany him soon, don't worry, take your time." ”
Everyone just started talking nonsense when he was caught, and no one paid attention to it.
In the capital, Liu Ce was the first to receive the news, and for a while he was so excited that he almost couldn't control his expression, and he had a night meeting with Gong Yuming that night to share the news.
Gong Yuming was also in a good mood, but not because of this incident, but because of the border army, which had cooperated for so long, he praised Liu Ce for the first time: "Sure enough, you expected it, Gu Zhixing transferred the border army in the south to help, last night, our men and horses had already lurked in secretly, and the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, Gu Zhixing definitely didn't expect that he was already dead, and he helped the palace so much." ”
Liu Ce was in a good mood, his face was much more ruddy, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, the great cause is about to be accomplished." ”
"Don't worry, you have to make sure that Gu Zhixing is really dead, this palace is always a little worried, you send someone to the border to investigate, only if he is really dead, our team Xisheng's plan is really foolproof, once Gu Zhixing dies, that little emperor can't afford any heavy responsibility."
Liu Ce was naturally a little skeptical, and quickly said: "I will immediately ask people to rush over to make sure, and before the people in the capital receive the news, they will definitely be able to confirm the authenticity." ”
Gong Yuming left quickly, and when he thought about it on the way, he still felt that the news was very incredible, and couldn't help but ask Nan Xing: "Do you think Gu Zhixing is really dead?" Could it be just a ploy. ”
The person who has always been the biggest opponent is suddenly gone, and he hasn't even been able to fight him, Gong Yuming feels a little regretful and a little unbelievable.
"Doesn't Your Highness believe he's dead?" Nan Xing didn't answer, but just asked rhetorically.
Gong Yuming sank his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and looked indisputable: "I always feel that dying is too simple." ”
Nan Xing clenched the reins of the carriage in his hand, and didn't dare to talk too much, but just answered softly: "When Liu Ce's people come back from investigating the news, everything will be clear." ”
Gong Yuming nodded slightly, closed his eyes and leaned on the car, not speaking.
And when the infighting on the Xisheng side was in full swing, the Northern Yuan was not peaceful.
Su Yu was sent to Xisheng by Su Rou with an excuse, because of the long distance and the bad weather, he is still on the way, and in the palace of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it is not the emperor who really calls the shots, but has become the eldest princess of Su Rou.
She thought that everything was planned very safely, and no one would find out, but the old emperor was not stupid after all, after a long time, she could always see the clues, and she announced Su Rou's visit to the palace for one thing today.
It was already very late, and the winter in the Northern Yuan Dynasty was always cold and damp, Su Rou got down from the carriage wrapped in a thick cloak, stood at the gate of the palace and looked at the long corridor, and was in a trance for a while.
She tightened the cloak on her body, her expression was dark, her expression was solemn, and she said to her side: "Since I left the palace to build a mansion, my father has not announced me to the palace at such an hour for a long time. ”
Lingyue, the maid beside her, carried a lantern and followed her step by step, and whispered when she heard the words: "Don't think too much about it, princess, the emperor has always loved you, and I want to talk to the princess." ”
Su Rou tugged at the corners of her mouth and sneered coldly: "Talk about your heart, heh." ”
This kind of gossip is a common thing, and the father will always do it to Su Mian, and it is impossible for her to lose her turn in her life, how can she have any expectations.
Lingyue heard that her tone was wrong, and she didn't dare to respond.
Su Rou didn't expect her to see anything, and slowly quickened her pace, and it didn't take long to reach the door of the imperial study.
Su Rou took off the heavy cloak on her body and handed it to Ling Yue, stood at the foot of the steps and whispered, "Wait for me here." ”
Lingyue nodded, watching Su Rou carry the hem of her skirt and slowly walk up the steps, tonight's palace is no different from any other glance, but Lingyue always feels that something is going to happen, even the air is silent, weirdly quiet.
There was no one at the door of the imperial study, only two eunuchs guarding there.
After Su Rou entered the door, the emperor also gave an order: "You wait outside the pavilion, I have something to say to the eldest princess." ”
Everyone was separated, Su Rou already felt that something was wrong, and now she couldn't control her nervousness, but in order not to mess up, she saluted respectfully, stood not far away and looked at the old emperor and asked softly: "It's so late, is there something wrong with my father?" ”
"There's only one thing I want to ask you." The old emperor put down the book in his hand, stood up with his hands in his hands, and stared at Su Rou across the table.
Su Rou's scalp was numb, and she stiffened her calm and pulled her mouth: "Father, please ask." ”
The old emperor didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Have you ever had any dealings with the prince of Nanzhou, and you also planned the matter of Su Yu worshipping him as a righteous brother behind your back, right?" ”
His voice was cold, flat and straightforward, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
Su Rou felt as if someone had pinched her lifeline in an instant, her body stiffened violently, and the muscles on her face tightened.
The old emperor slowly walked to her side, his eyes fell on the top of Su Rou's head, and said slowly: "I have divided all the people, I just want to hear you tell me the truth, Su Rou, you have never had any ambitions, and the brothers and sisters have the most sense of existence, I am really curious now, when did you get in touch with the people in Nanzhou, and how many agreements did you reach with them?" ”
The national strength of the Northern Yuan has always been the weakest among the three countries, Nanzhou is ambitious, and the Western Sage is strong, in fact, as long as the Western Sage does not take the initiative to suppress them, the emperor has never moved the idea of joining forces with Nanzhou.
And he has always disagreed with anything to do with Nanzhou.
He always felt that Nanzhou's behavior was too rampant, which was not suitable for the long-term development of Beiyuan to live and work in peace and contentment, but he didn't expect that what he had always opposed would be done by this daughter who had never had a sense of existence.
Su Rou was really nervous at first, but when the knife that had been hanging above her head finally fell, she was not so afraid.
She raised her head and looked at the emperor standing on the first floor of the stairs, the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a calm smile, and her tone was steady: "Father, the emperor and the sons did all this for the sake of the Northern Yuan, now, only by cooperating with Nanzhou and finding the shelter of Nanzhou, can we live in peace for a long time." ”
She did all this for Beiyuan, which was an unshakable insistence in Su Rou's heart.
It is precisely because of this that she can still deal with it calmly after being exposed.
"It's a good excuse." The old emperor nodded with his hands behind his back, still expressionless, but he had already made up his mind, and ordered directly: "Stop, no matter what agreement you have reached with them, it will be nullified, and I will not let Xiaoliu have more contact with Gong Yuming in the future." ”
Su Rou's face turned pale, and her brows furrowed tightly.
The old emperor didn't finish speaking, so he continued in a relaxed tone: "I, Beiyuan, will never form an alliance with anyone, and now that Mianmian is married to the regent of the Western Sage, you are now united with Nanzhou, and when Nanzhou really starts a war against the Western Sage, how do you choose?" Did you help Nanzhou and ignore your sister? ”
Su Rou couldn't help but be disappointed.
Obviously he had said a long time ago that he should not expect anything from anyone, but when his father treated several children differently, Su Rou still felt a sour feeling in her heart.
She forced it to be unnatural, and said sharply, "But Su Mian married Xisheng, she never thought of protecting us, we don't make a choice now, do we wait for Nanzhou to really take down Xisheng, and then turn around and start a war against us?" ”
She never believed Su Mian, and continued: "Father, didn't you see what the third sister did? She obviously has amazing talents, but when she was in Beiyuan, she didn't show it at all, and she didn't want Beiyuan to get better and better at all. ”
The more Su Rou spoke, the more indignant she felt, her tone became cold, and she said sharply: "What she did in Xisheng, if she gets it to Beiyuan, how can we Beiyuan never be able to cultivate the talents of the pillars, how can we always be condescending to others, the third sister has not regarded herself as a Beiyuan person from the beginning, and if there is a real fight in the future, do you think she will take care of us?" ”
She didn't want to put all her hopes on Su Mian.
Hearing these words to the ears of the old emperor, they were completely prickly.
He favored Su Mian, so naturally he couldn't listen to half a sentence from others, and defended Su Mian: "Mianmian was only old when she was in Beiyuan, even if she wanted to do something for Beiyuan, she was powerless, it didn't mean that she didn't have Beiyuan in her heart." ”
Su Rou felt uncomfortable listening to it, the favored person really did everything right, and she, no matter what she did, was wrong.
The old emperor didn't pay attention to Su Rou's expression, and continued to persuade: "And I want to tell you, really for the good of the Northern Yuan, not to give the Northern Yuan as a gift to others, what kind of character do you think the prince of Nanzhou is, is his ambition just the West Sage?" You are so smart, how can you not see through it, after he has dealt with Xisheng, when he wants to turn back to Beiyuan, who do you expect to help you? ”
What Gong Yuming wants is definitely not just as simple as taking down the West Sage, he is more likely to want to dominate the Huachen Continent, and at that time, how many lives will be ruined.
