Guo Chong frowned quietly and thought about it, Lin Jue's judgment was basically the same as his own. From the very beginning, he thought that Concubine Rong could not have such a deep heart and such a far-reaching strategy. However, the seriousness of this matter is there, but Guo Chong can't help but find out the truth and find the possible instigator behind the scenes.

"Lin Jue, if there is someone behind this, who do you think it will be?" Guo Chong asked in a deep voice.

Lin Jue frowned, knowing that this was Guo Chong's further temptation of himself. In fact, when he asked such a question, he was actually a candidate who already had a guess in his heart, but it just depended on his reaction.

"I can't answer that question." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean? What does it mean to be unable to answer? Guo Chong frowned.

Lin Jue said: "I insist on asking the minister to list the so-called candidates, and the minister is not unable to do this, but this is completely speculation without factual basis, what is the difference between the minister doing this and clinging to others?" And it's a false accusation without evidence. As the minister said earlier, the emperor can thoroughly investigate the matter and find the instigator behind the scenes, provided that this person or this force exists. The minister expressed his opinion, and the minister tended to be the one who did it herself. Therefore, the minister can't talk nonsense, please ask the emperor for forgiveness. ”

Guo Chong sneered: "I'm afraid that you know who it is, but you won't tell me." ”

Lin Jue lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "The emperor said this, and the ministers dare not take it." If the emperor looks at the minister like this, please give the minister a death. How dare a minister shield a rebel? ”

Midori Dance also fell to her knees in fright, at a loss.

Guo Chong stared at Lin Jue for a long time, frowned, and said, "Get up, I'm just talking, you were just a child back then, and you had nothing to do with this matter." Hey, I'm so exhausted. I ask myself to be honest with others, and I take good care of the people around me, but I didn't expect such a betrayal of me. Lin Jue, do you know what it's like to be betrayed? It's very uncomfortable. I can't wait to break the corpses of those who betrayed me into thousands of pieces, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”

Lin Jue got up and said softly: "Your Majesty, if something like this happens, the minister also feels very sorry. ”

Lin Jue turned to Concubine Rong and sighed, "Concubine Rong...... Ay...... Concubine Rong, why were you so confused back then? How could you do such a ridiculous thing? Look at the emperor's pain, you have broken the emperor's heart. But what do you get? The Three Princes...... No...... That Guo Hao is also dead, his daughter is in exile, she has been fatherless and motherless for so many years, I don't know where the roots are, do you think it's worth it? ”

Concubine Rong sighed with tears: "Yes, I didn't gain anything, but I lost a lot and hurt a lot of people." I have to die to forgive my sins. Your Majesty, you must not be angry and hurt the dragon body, the concubines are not worthy of your sadness and anger. ”

Guo Chong said in a deep voice: "What's the use of talking about this now? You made a great mistake, and I cannot forgive you. If you have any conscience, don't hide anything and tell me who is behind you. Whoever instigated you to do such a great rebellion is your true repentance. ”

Concubine Rong glanced at Lin Jue, gritted her teeth and replied: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines refuse to speak, but that no one instructs the concubines at all, where do the concubines start." As Lin Jue said, concubines can't slander others indiscriminately. ”

Guo Chong said angrily: "Slut, if you don't repent of death, you will die innocently." ”

Concubine Rong's face turned pale and she hung her head and was silent.

There was a brief silence in the room. Suddenly, Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something I want to ask Concubine Rong, I don't know if the emperor can agree." ”

Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue suspiciously, nodded and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Lin Juedao: "The minister suddenly remembered what Green Dance told me, Green Dance said that Niangniang had told her that the death of the third prince was very strange, and Niangniang suspected that there was fraud in it. The minister wanted to ask the mother if there was such a thing. ”

Guo Chong was stunned, and he didn't know why Lin Jue suddenly mentioned this matter. But listening to his words, it seemed that there was something strange about Guo Hao's death that year, which made Guo Chong suspicious, and he looked at Concubine Rong suspiciously.

Concubine Rong was also a little surprised, and she was puzzled in her heart. She didn't know what Lin Jue's intention was when she said this at this time. Indeed, Guo Hao's death has always been a shadow in her heart, and she always feels that something is wrong. But this is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove it. Before the third prince died, he had diarrhea, and the result of the diagnosis by the imperial doctor was only similar to dysentery, but no medicine worked, and he could only watch him die in his arms. Although this matter is strange, Concubine Rong can only doubt it in her heart, and she does not dare to be suspicious and public. What is Lin Jue's intention when he mentions this matter at this moment?

Concubine Rong is a smart person after all, at this time, even if she doesn't know Lin Jue's intentions, she also understands that Lin Jue must have some purpose. Judging from Lin Jue's previous words, Lin Jue was trying his best to excuse himself, so Concubine Rong decided to follow Lin Jue's words and answer.

"Oh, is this the case? It is indeed the truth. Guo Hao's death is unforgettable for me, and I have always been difficult to calm down. So I talked about it during a casual conversation with Midori. Concubine Rong said busily.

"The minister heard Lu Wu say, Niang Niang told him that the third prince Guo Hao suddenly had diarrhea after admiring the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival one year, and all kinds of treatments were fruitless, and he died after a delay of more than a month, yes or no? Niangniang said that there are some doubts, can you elaborate with the minister? Lin Jue said.

Concubine Rong looked at Guo Chong's gloomy face, there was some surprise and expectation on that face, obviously the emperor was also waiting for her answer, so she gritted her silver teeth and said in a deep voice: "I didn't want to mention that matter, but since Lin Jue asked, I'll talk about it." It was the Mid-Autumn Festival when Guo Hao was ten years old, when the emperor was still the prince, and we admired the moon in the back garden of the prince's mansion that night. After that night, Guo Hao had unbearable abdominal pain and diarrhea. The doctor diagnosed that it was a disease of dysentery, and prescribed a prescription to treat dysentery, but it could not be cured at all. At last...... At last...... Just watched him disappear. ”

Concubine Rong burst into tears. Thinking of the events of that year, Wu felt pain in his heart. is not only because of the pain of Guo Hao's death, but also because Guo Hao's death was a turning point in her life. After Guo Hao's death, she lost the capital of the harem. From then on, I could only watch Concubine Mei swagger in front of her. Everything she had ventured to do came to naught. A large part of her tears were shed for the sake of it.

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Niang Niang are sure that it is a disease of dysentery?" ”

Concubine Rong said: "It's what the imperial doctors said, and this palace doesn't know medical skills, so I can only listen to their diagnosis." ”

Lin Jue nodded, and was about to speak, but Guo Chong couldn't help but interrupt: "Lin Jue, what do you mean by asking about this?" What do you want to say? ”

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister just thinks it's very strange. Dysentery can be cured by ordinary Langzhong, why can't the third prince Guo Hao's dysentery be treated even by the imperial doctor? That doesn't make sense. ”

Guo Chong shouted coldly: "I'm afraid you're crazy." At this moment, I have to deal with the matter of dropping the bag, what are you doing with this? What is the intention? Fortunately, the imperial doctor did not cure him, otherwise I don't know how harmful it would be to let this Xibei goods pretend to be my son. Die well, my Guo family has to be blessed by God, this is God helping my Guo family. ”

Concubine Rong sighed softly: "Your Majesty, that is also your favorite son ever." ”

Guo Chong shouted: "What son? That's someone else's son, what does it have to do with me? Do you still have the audacity to say that he is my son? It's really hateful. ”

Concubine Rong's face turned pale and she wanted to say something, but she found that she had nothing to say.

Lin Jue hurriedly changed the topic and asked softly, "Niangniang, or how did Guo Hao get sick that night?" Why does it suddenly stop having diarrhea? Did you eat something unclean? ”

Concubine Rong looked at Lin Jue in astonishment, she saw Lin Jue's eyes flickering. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something. Lin Jue is going to pull out the matter of Guo Hao's death, and the people involved in this matter, once this matter is pulled out, the pool of water in the harem will be even more muddy. Concubine Rong thought, anyway, the matter has come to this, and she may not be able to escape death. Didn't Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai and others, who played this matter behind their backs, just want to die by themselves, and want the Queen Mother to be implicated, so as to deal a heavy blow to the harem forces that support Guo Mian? Their fundamental purpose is actually for Guo Xu to become the crown prince. Once he loses the support of the Queen Mother and himself, and the emperor is suspicious of the Liang Palace, then it is almost impossible for Guo Mian to become the crown prince. In the final analysis, it is still for the battle for the throne.

Lin Jue obviously wanted to drag Concubine Mei into the water by himself and completely mess up the whole thing. Even if the emperor was suspicious of Concubine Mei, it would have a great negative impact on Guo Xu. In that case, it would be impossible for Guo Xu to defeat Guo Mian smoothly.

I'm going to drag you when I'm dying, and I'm going to finish it together. This is the realization that Concubine Rong read from Lin Jue's words and deeds.

"Yes. This is extremely strange. That night, Guo Hao was originally sitting with me to admire the moon, does the emperor remember? The emperor also ordered him to compose a poem about admiring the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I also praised him a few words......" Concubine Rong nodded and said loudly.

Guo Chong snorted coldly and was silent, of course he remembered the situation that day. Guo Hao was his favorite youngest son before he died. Intelligent, clever and astute. Guo Chong likes to take him with him everywhere. Even though I had some doubts about his appearance, I still couldn't suppress my joy at him. Even now, thinking of Guo Hao's clever appearance back then, Guo Chong still can't hate him. It was the adults who did the evil, not Guo Hao. What reason do you have to hate this child who is very close to you?

That night, Guo Hao wrote a poem to admire the moon. It's a bit of a literary style. Guo Chong was very happy, and also rewarded Guo Hao with a sip of osmanthus wine. rewarded him with a pair of jade unicorn jade pendants. But that night, Guo Hao began to have diarrhea and diarrhea. Guo Chong once thought that he had rewarded him for drinking, after all, Guo Hao was just a child. But soon the doctor confirmed that it had nothing to do with drinking, saying that he had eaten bad stomach and had dysentery. However, the severity of the illness is incomprehensible. The imperial physician in the palace was helpless. dragged on like this for a month, and Guo Hao died. Before Guo Hao died, Guo Chong didn't dare to look at him, because Guo Hao was already skinny and bone-like, like a skeleton. This incident hit Guo Chong very hard, because of this incident, Guo Chong has been loving Concubine Rong for so many years, partly because of the pain and pity caused by Guo Hao's death.
