197, counterattack

"Aren't you dead?" When Xu Er heard that he was the fourth prince, his heart shrank, of course he knew who the fourth prince was.

Whether in the palace or in the palace, his father and uncle let him see the composition of the palace members.

No one hid anything from him.

He was originally a calm child, but in order to confuse the four princes, he deliberately behaved differently than usual.

But he is a child after all, who is not afraid of the dead? Which one is not afraid of ghosts?

"From the day I escaped from the Huangjue Temple, I knew that the emperor and your father would do that, making me a dead man, and no matter what I did, I would not have a proper name.

But so what? Even if I die, I won't make them comfortable. ”

Xu Er listened to what he said, and couldn't digest it for a while.

He is only seven years old now, and what he accepts does not include how to exercise intrigues.

For the four princes who suddenly appeared in front of him, he still believed that he was a dead man.

"Are you going to kill me?"

The fourth prince looked at him with a complicated face, "I want to kill you, but I'm afraid that your mother will be sad." ”

"It should have been mine, but it was your father who helped me get to the top today, forcing me to have no way out, and even designed to take my life.

"Your father and the emperor are in cahoots, if it weren't for them, why would I be like this?"

"Because of your father, I will definitely let you die, not only to die, but I also want to cut you off one by one in front of him.

I'm going to leave you with only a pair of eyes left to look at the world in the end.

Let your dear father look at you and have nothing to do.

I'll have to let him swallow your flesh alive in the end to keep your skeleton from being thrown away by me to feed the dogs. ”

Saying this, he was faintly excited, and looked at Xu Er with a pair of bright eyes and smiled, "What do you think?" ”

Xu'er pursed her lips and didn't speak, and after a while, she squeezed out from between her lips, "It's not good." ”

"But your mother is the most important person to me.

When I hurt you, I hurt her, and when she is uncomfortable, I am uncomfortable. So, my heart is so wavering. ”

Xu Er swallowed her saliva and plucked up her courage to say, "Then you know that my mother will be uncomfortable, why do you still arrest me?" Maybe she'll find out I'm gone, and she'll be looking for me everywhere, with tears in her eyes.

Or maybe I've passed out, and my name is constantly being called.

You say that your mother is your most important person, but I am the most important person of your mother, and you are indirectly hurting your most important person. ”

"Your father can't beat a fart with three sticks, but your mouth is very sharp." The fourth prince sneered, and his gaze changed from soft just now to cold again.

"You think that's going to make me let you go? My mother's life and death are unknown. My sister was locked up in the darkness of Huangjue Temple. ”

"Now only I can get them out."

Xu Er misses her mother, father, and uncle and great-grandmother very much at this moment.

As he thought about it, tears came out of his eyes, crying and sobbing.

Jing Ning's chair was next to him, and when he saw him crying, he hurriedly leaned over, rubbed him, and comforted him.

"Crying for what?" The fourth prince began to sneer again, "Aren't you very brave? I dared to come just now, and I went to him. ”

He walked over and picked his chin with the blade, looking at his features reflected on the blade.

Xu Er was shocked by the coldness of the knife, and her tears were taken back.

He couldn't cry, and his father said that crying wouldn't solve the problem.

The fourth prince took the knife and turned it around his neck, and soon the blade cut two bloody marks on his tender skin.

Jing Ning had a strip of cloth in her mouth, she couldn't speak, her body was tied to a stool, she saw that the blood on Xu'er's neck came out, and she suddenly wanted to stand up, but she couldn't move.

The fourth prince said sharply, "Ugly, shut up." ”

After saying that, I wanted to kick it over.

Xu'er had never seen Jingning, and when the two men in black wanted to kill people just now, he couldn't bear it, so he said that he needed someone to take care of him and keep Jingning.

Seeing that the fourth prince wanted to kick her, he naturally didn't allow it, and he screamed, "Don't hurt her." If you indiscriminately hurt innocents, even if you become the emperor, you will also be a tyrant. ”

As he spoke, his feet kicked wildly.

……

When Gu Nian went to the emperor, the emperor had already assigned people to go out to find Xu'er.

When he saw Gu Nian coming, the emperor still stiffened unexpectedly.

At that time, when he found that there was a woman on the bed, the emperor was furious and smoked the palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the courtyard out of appearance.

Naturally, no one could take the woman in bed away.

He waved away all the normal men in the courtyard and led Chang Yuan into the inner room.

He pointed to the bed and said to Chang Yuan, "Go and wrap her in a blanket, so that she can't show her tracks, and follow behind me." ”

Chang Yuan is a eunuch, not a normal man, he is already sorry for Xiao Jiu, and at this moment, he can't step forward to hug Gu Nian.

Chang Yuan naturally also discovered the magnolia flower hairpin, he stopped there and was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses in the emperor's cold question.

He lifted the curtain and trembled to wrap the man in the bed in a blanket, and when he saw that face, he was really shocked.

He thought that it was Princess Jin on the bed, but he didn't expect that it was a strange woman who looked a little familiar, and he searched it in his brain.

Only then did I remember, isn't this the little doctor girl who Queen Jiang said was very good at massaging, Mingzhu?

He pointed to the man on the bed and exclaimed, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

The emperor didn't dare to approach the bed, even if it was swept by the afterglow, it would be a blasphemy against Xiao Jiu.

"Your Majesty...... It's not ......," Chang Yuan stammered.

The emperor was outside the screen and said sharply, "No, don't you hurry up?" ”

"Your Majesty, the medical girl in the medical girl bureau on the bed......" Chang Yuan calmed down, he was really wronged for His Majesty.

What does the queen want to do?

The emperor rushed up to take a look, and sure enough, it was really the doctor girl he had ever seen.

There was only one thought in my heart, fortunately it was not Princess Jin.

He was finally able to explain to Xiao Jiu.

Seeing Gu Nian, he was still embarrassed. However, soon, he recovered, "Don't worry, I have ordered the Praetorian Guards to blockade the Huangjue Temple, and there will be news soon." ”

Gu Nian nodded, and blessed the emperor, "Thank you, Your Majesty, if you have any news, you must inform the concubines." ”

She looked at the emperor with a pale face and said, "I don't know who it is and what the purpose of arresting Xu'er is." ”

"Don't worry, now the thirty miles near Huangjue Temple have been blocked, as long as you don't go far, you will find out your whereabouts."

"The Northern Barbarian Mission some time ago, as well as the rebellions in various places, will it be related to the Four Princes?" Gu Nian thought about it and said what he thought.

"The Four Princes? Acting king? The emperor's eyes flashed, and he looked at her fixedly.

"That's right." Gu Nian said softly, "Otherwise, why didn't those people catch me, but instead took Xu'er away, maybe they arrested Xu'er just to blackmail us?" ”

The emperor frowned and paused, and called Chang Yuan, "That Mama Zhang beside the queen, you go in person, have a good trial, and you must interrogate the people behind her." ”

After the order, the emperor turned his head to Gu Nian and said, "No matter who the other party is, whether it is the acting king or not, this search is the most ineffective way at the moment, they should have two purposes, one is Xiao Jiu, and the other is me, so you can use me as bait to lure them out now." ”

"How does this work?" Commander Yang was the first to object, "Your Majesty, you just asked your ministers to send everyone out, just deliberately exposing the empty door and letting the other party attack?" The cost is too great to be risky. ”

"If you want to find Xu'er as soon as possible, you can only take risks. Xu'er is Xiao Jiu's only child, and I am already sorry for Xiao Jiu, and I can't be sorry anymore. ”

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Do what I say, the queen, you send someone to send her to the Forbidden Garden immediately." ”

Gu Nian's heart moved, and he sent the queen to the Forbidden Garden, so how can he do it?

She went to the Forbidden Garden, how could she take revenge for that medicine?

She pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, why did the queen go to the Forbidden Garden, and now I don't know what the purpose of those thieves is, in case of an ambush on the road, Xu'er is gone, and the queen can't have any more accidents." ”

"The Forbidden Garden is bitterly cold, how can Niang Niang go to such a place? What's more, tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival, how can you do it without the queen? How to account for the ministers and the people? ”

Judging from the prudence with which the Fourth Prince acted, he had prepared an extremely good plan. Therefore, it is better for the emperor not to take risks. ”

If it is really the fourth prince, then it must be to find Xiao Yue for revenge, or to find her.

……

When Gu Nian went to the emperor, the eldest prince of the protector mainly followed, but the father and son of the Marquis of Pingyang were still kneeling there, and they couldn't stabilize themselves by relying on An Yuanhou alone, so she asked the eldest princess to stay and went to the emperor alone.

Gu Nian asked Empress Jiang to stay and not send her to the Forbidden Garden, not only that, but also asked the emperor for a will to go to Empress Jiang to see her.

And the eldest princess is talking to Pingyang Hou about Zhou Yushu.

An Yuanhou has not recovered his mood until now, and the mood of this day is simply indescribable, high and low.

He lowered his head for a while and said to Pingyang Hou, "Two children, it's better to get along and leave." ”

"Mrs. Hou can poison our girl, the super first-class prince and princess of the imperial court, because of a little thing, do I expect her to be good to Shu'er in the future?"

"If something like this happens today, who can guarantee that you won't have a pimple in your heart? The selfish methods in the back house can't be prevented, and I don't want my daughter to go early. ”

At the beginning, because the sincerity of Pingyang Hou Shizi was very strong, so he replied to the proposal of the Meng family, life is always a person, he thought that Shu'er was living a good life, but he didn't expect it......

The Pingyang Marquis Mansion and the Mo family are standing on the side of the four princes, and the future fate can already be predicted, and now the emperor does not move the Mo family, but to fish out the four princes.

Just right, take this opportunity to pull my daughter out of the mud.

However, her daughter's surname is Zhou, but her child's surname is Meng. In case the Meng family bites to death and doesn't let people go, it will be a little difficult to do.

In the inner room, the eldest princess of the country, Zhou Yuyan was also asking Zhou Yushu this question.

"What the hell do you think?"

Since Zhou Yushu came in, he has been hanging his head, and his eyes are a little red, swollen and haggard because of too many tears.

She snuggled up in her chair, her hands clutched tightly on the handle, and whispered,

"When he married me, he said that he was good, and he guarded me, but in a blink of an eye, he went to be a foreign officer, and he accepted his aunt, and I came back to cry at that time.

He wants a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, with all four corners.

But I was raised by my grandmother, and I wanted the two of them to live quietly.

But in the end, the water spilled by the married daughter, I know that there is no family in this capital that does not have a concubine room, so I tried my best to persuade myself to accept it.

Slowly, I felt like a different person.

It's no longer the temperament that I had at home.

If it's these, it's just that, my mother-in-law often makes things difficult for me, and wants to stuff my niece to the son, but the son doesn't say no, or accepts, so he drags it on.

My mother-in-law came to me many times, and during that time, I felt as if I was born in hell.

It hurts in my heart.

Later, Niannian went to the Hou Mansion and drove the cousin away.

I was grateful in my heart, but I also felt that I was useless, ashamed of myself, and my whole person became inferior. ”

She buried her face in the palm of her hand, and the tears finally couldn't be held back, overflowing from her eye sockets and leaking out of her fingers,

"One day husband and wife hundred days, I have been married to him for so many years, and I gave birth to two sons and a daughter, respecting my in-laws and sisters-in-law, and I asked myself if there was anything inconsiderate.

But mother-in-law, she ......"

She couldn't figure it out, she felt wronged, "What the hell is it?" ”

The eldest princess of the Protector sneered, "It's not your fault. ”

She touched Zhou Yushu's hair meaningfully, she thought that this granddaughter was gone, obviously she was a dignified and reasonable girl with a generous temperament.

But after a few years in the inner house, he has changed like a person.

"What can we do if we don't get along now? It's just, I'm worried about three children, what should they do? Zhou Yushu asked.

The Meng family is not a person who leaves a way for people to live, who knows if they will do something even more frustrating.

The eldest princess of the protectorate wanted to break Mrs. Pingyang Hou into ten thousand pieces at this moment, but when she saw Zhou Yushu like this, she felt that even if she was broken into ten thousand pieces, she would be cheaper than such a vicious woman.

She said that she wanted the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to be doomed.

The eldest princess of the protectorate said quietly, "Don't worry, grandmother always has a way, don't worry......"

Zhou Yuyan also comforted Zhou Yushu, "Sister, no matter what."

Sure enough, as a few of them thought, Pingyang Hou and Shizi did not agree to reconcile and leave, and even used the child as a shield, saying that the child was still young, how could he do without a mother.

As for what An Yuanhou said, let Zhou Yushu leave with the child, Pingyang Hou categorically refused.

How could the Meng family's species be taken away by Zhou Yushu?

An Yuanhou looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Pingyang Hou, as if he had eaten half a fly, and he was disgusted.

I don't know how in this world, there is still a shameless person like Pingyang Hou, who has obviously done something wrong, but he is still so arrogant, and he will not let Zhou Yu reconcile if he dies.

He also threatened the child. It's shameless.

……

After Gu Nian came out of the emperor, he went directly to the wing room where Empress Jiang lived.

There were a lot of guards standing outside the courtyard, and the people waiting inside had also changed, but Mama Ye was still serving by Queen Jiang's side.

Seeing Gu Nian, Empress Jiang's face was not so good, but after she had been immersed in the palace for so many years, she said to Gu Nian with a smile,

"Why did you come to me at this time?"

Gu Nian looked at her for a moment, and then said lightly, "Aren't you disappointed to see me appear in front of you with such a swagger?" ”

Empress Jiang smiled, "I don't know what you're talking about, what is disappointing or not?" ”

Gu Nian tugged at the corners of her lips, her eyes were full of sarcasm, "The queen mother is really good at acting, she has done so many things, but she seems to be fine, singing and fighting, everything is good."

Being a queen is really burying you, if you go to do drama, it will probably be the best drama. ”

Empress Jiang showed her grievances and anger after being ruthlessly humiliated, "This palace is the queen, I don't know where to make you, the popular princess of Jin, resentful."

It's just that you don't forget the identity of this palace, in this world, only the emperor and the queen mother can count me down, and it is not your turn to humiliate me as the princess of the outer three roads. ”

Gu Nian had long expected that Empress Jiang would be difficult to deal with.

She may be stupid, but she's not really stupid, because she wants to succeed so much that sometimes she stuns.

"The queen is really not dead to the Yellow River." Gu Nian sneered, "You keep saying that you are a queen, but what you are doing is what a queen should do?" ”

"If the queen is like you, then where did Mingjun come from? Where did the world come from? Who dares to die for the emperor?

If you are not careful, the emperor will not know which courtier's wife is lying on the bed.

However, the queen felt that this was harmless.

As long as you can achieve your goals. “

Empress Jiang, "......"

The conspiracy hidden in my heart was suddenly exposed, and no matter how superb and clever his acting skills were, he would reveal flaws.

Empress Jiang's face turned slightly, and her lips moved.

The emperor just said that it was Mingzhu's little slut who went to the dragon bed, not Gu Nian.

She believes that the emperor will not lie on this matter.

She didn't know what went wrong, Gu Nian became a pearl, but Gu Nian must have been turned over by her medicine.

However, she didn't want to admit it, it was one thing to admit it in front of the emperor, and in front of Gu Nian, she would not be soft.

She said, "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of courtier's wife, the emperor's dragon couch, the woman in the house, pay attention to the dignified and virtuous lady, you are still the princess of Jin, and you have to be an example, what kind of system is it that is full of foul language?" ”

Gu Nian ignored her feet and continued, "You must be surprised, what went wrong, right?"

That's right, you've turned my medicine over, but how can there be fewer caregivers around me? Since you like to share your husband with others so much, then I will fulfill you and send the pearl to the emperor's dragon tower couch.

Perhaps, the seeds have been planted in Mingzhu's belly, and they will take root and sprout immediately, and after ten months, they will bear fruit.

Maybe, that is the future prince, the future emperor. ”

As soon as the word 'prince' was mentioned, Queen Jiang's complexion, who was originally quite calm, changed suddenly, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Gu Nian, it's just that you humiliate me, and now you're joking with the prince, what are your intentions?"

People have reverse scales.

Nothing is more important to a mother than her son.

What's more, Queen Jiang, who was originally quite smart, made frequent tricks for her son.

She didn't let the emperor send Empress Jiang to the Forbidden Garden, just so that she could watch the already infamous King An fall into the dust.

Since Empress Jiang wants King An to be the crown prince like that, then she will let King An never be the prince again.

Eat her and spit it out, and return it to those who have harmed her.

There is revenge in this life, who cares about the next life?

She will never let Empress Jiang's life be better.

She's going to uproot everything she cares about.

Let her live, it is worse than death.

Gu Nian continued unhurriedly, "The emperor said that he would send you to the Forbidden Garden, and just now I have advised the emperor not to let you go to such a bitter cold place. The emperor agreed. ”

Gu Nian looked at Empress Jiang with a smile, and that smile seemed to Empress Jiang as dazzling as it was.

She knew, she knew, she knew that the emperor must be a liar, and he and Gu Nian must have succeeded.

Thinking of this, Empress Jiang could no longer maintain her composure, and her voice was sharp and hoarse, "You shut up Beigong, shut up!" ”

"Niangniang, you're wrong, the concubine said a lot of good things for you, and the emperor agreed. How can you not appreciate it? ”

Gu Nian looked at Queen Jiang, whose eyes were full of resentment and fierceness, and a calm sneer pulled out from the corner of her lips,

"What you see and think about is all filthy and dirty, and you think that others are the same as you. What a sorrow you have lived. ”

"You have the best cards in the world, but you can play them yourself.

If you teach King An well, you can probably be the queen mother, but now, do you want to be the queen mother? Do your daydreaming goes. “

This slut!

A flame of anger and hatred flashed in Empress Jiang's eyes.

Gu Nian paid close attention to the change in Empress Jiang's expression, and continued, "With me here, your heir will not want to sit in that position." ”

"Even if the world is full of wolf smoke, it won't be cheap."

Gu Nian said slowly, word by word.

Empress Jiang was originally silent, waiting for Gu Nian angrily, she couldn't be silent anymore.

Thinking about this poisonous woman, she still wants to deal with Rui'er.

No, she wants to keep her son.

No matter what, she must keep Rui'er, and she must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Gu Nian and Xiao Yue, a poisonous couple.

Empress Jiang suddenly raised her head, and the light in her eyes was amazing,

"Don't say anything, I admit it, I did something wrong today, I shouldn't have done that to you, but you didn't lose anything, not only that, but it also gave me one more opponent in the future.

The emperor came just now and said that he would make Mingzhu the imperial concubine.

Since you told the emperor that you wouldn't send me to the Forbidden Garden, then I also thank you.

Here, I have a message to tell you, how about you let King An go? ”

Gu Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Yuan interrogated Mama Zhang and knew that Mama Zhang was bought by the eldest princess of Changning, and had been communicating between the queen and the Mo family.

But Gu Nian believes that it is not only the eldest princess of Changning who communicates with Queen Jiang, but also the people of the four princes.

From the time she entered the house to the present, she has been constantly stimulating the queen, and she is waiting for this moment.
