Chapter 11: What's in it for you
Gu Wanqing really pretended to be dizzy, and when she knew that things were completely out of her calculations, she was suddenly angry and vomited blood, and she was really dizzy.
The one who came to pick up Gu Wanqing was Gu Jingtian, the second son of the Great Commander's Mansion. After taking over his sister, he tore up the apology letter posted outside the palace, and the fragments were thrown into the sky and fell one after another.
He was not afraid of the palace, and threw out the sword at his waist with his backhand, and the tip of the sword was inserted into the door frame of the palace, and it was three points into the wood. He said in a deep voice to the crowd of onlookers: "Princess Rui has been humiliated in the name of apology, if the palace does not give me an explanation within three days, my Grand Commander's Mansion will never give up!" ”
When the words fell, Gu Jingtian rode away.
Gu Xiaoda's anger at the crown quickly spread throughout Shangyang City, and the sword left on the door frame of the palace was also discussed. The insider said that it was given to Commander Gu Xiaoda by Prince Rui, and now that Commander Gu Xiaoda left the sword, I am afraid that he is really dissatisfied with the actions of the palace.
It wasn't until the afternoon when the dowry given by Prince Rui to the belly of the Grand Commander was returned, that this speculation was confirmed. After Xiao Mo came back and figured things out, everything was a foregone conclusion.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Xiao Mo was furious: "Chu Mengyao, do you want to die?" Who asked you to get Gu Wanqing back? ”
Qu Xian was fine, and said dissatisfiedly: "You broke my pot before you left, I can't eat hot pot." ”
Xiao Mo laughed angrily and said coldly: "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" ”
Realizing that if she stimulates someone again, I am afraid that she will really get burned, Qu Xian's face was solemn, and she said seriously: "You asked me not to forget my identity, I implemented it seriously." It is the princess's duty to clean up the backyard. ”
"But this king didn't make you so arrogant! Now the Gu family wants to break with this king, if they must give an explanation to this king, this king will hand you over! Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and said.
"If the prince only has this one way...... Qu Xian glanced at him cautiously, and quickly took a few steps back, until he was sure that he would not be suddenly choked by Xiao Mo from a safe distance, and then spoke: "Then the prince should not covet the throne, if the prince's means are like this, fighting for the throne is also a way to kill himself, it is better to go to the fiefdom, so that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the prince can still be more comfortable." ”
After Qu Xian finished speaking, her whole body tensed, and she looked at Xiao Mo vigilantly, once he made a move, he had to run away quickly to save his life. But unexpectedly, Xiao Mo was not angry, looking at her with an inexplicable gaze, "What do you mean?" ”
Qu Xian blinked and said innocently: "It's literal." ”
Xiao Mo ignored it, just stared at her fixedly.
Seeing that Xiao Mo had no intention of killing her, Qu Xian approached and sat down, and analyzed seriously: "The prince went to the battlefield at the age of year, and led the southern and northern wars with Boss Gu. The boss treats you as if you were himself, and teaches you everything he has learned in his life. The boss commander was injured on the battlefield a few years ago, and the prince became the commander, and Gu Jingtian was fledgling at that time. It wasn't until two years ago that the prince returned to Beijing to take up his post and handed over the tiger talisman to Jinshang, and Gu Jiajun was taken over by Gu Jingtian. ”
Qu Xian's eyes flickered, and she said disdainfully: "The prince thinks that the Gu family will break with you because of a concubine?" If the Gu family really wants to break with the prince, Gu Wanqing is just an excuse, and it must not be the main reason. ”
"If the Gu family uses this to crusade against the prince, it can only deceive the foolish people in the world. Don't say that those people who are competing with you for the throne don't believe it, even I won't believe it. ”
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows and motioned for Qu Xian to continue.
Qu Xian took a sip of tea and continued: "I think Gu Jingtian has long been dissatisfied with the prince, and today's incident is just a reason for him to break up. Lord Wang, you think, you have outstanding ability, amazing talent, and too much prestige in the army. Even if Gu Jiajun was taken over by Gu Jingtian, the marshal they really recognized was still you. Gu Jingtian lives in your shadow in the army, jealousy makes people crazy, and it is normal for him to want to deal with you. ”
"You don't have the Sacred Heart, and you lose the right to control the army, so you don't have to worry in the eyes of those princes. Now that you have a very good relationship with the Gu family, those few people will not easily touch you, once you break with the Gu family, they will have no worries. ”
Xiao Mo sneered, "They don't have the ability to move the king." ”
Qu Xian disagreed, shook her head and said, "Lord Wang, you are like a lion, they naturally can't move you." They are like mosquitoes on a lion, you can't kill them, but too many mosquitoes are also annoying. ”
Qu Xian pondered for a while and said, "But there is another benefit to your breaking with the Gu family. ”
A smile flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes, and he said with high interest: "Oh, what's the benefit?" ”
Knowing that Xiao Mo was pretending to be stupid and asked knowingly, Qu Xian rolled her eyes and said: "Among the princes competing for the throne, the crown prince's mother concubine was killed by Empress Chu, and the mother concubine of the third prince and the fourth prince fought with Empress Chu openly and secretly, and water and fire were incompatible. No matter who of these princes ascends to the throne, Empress Chu is a dead end. You say, in such a situation, how will Empress Chu calculate? ”
Xiao Mo smiled coldly and sneered: "She also has a son, and she is quite favored by her father. ”
"That's right." Qu Xian smiled lightly: "That's the idea she played, but the Chu family is full of beheadings, and now I'm an orphan girl left." And the seventeenth prince is too young, even if he is lucky enough to ascend the throne, he can't keep it. And Lord Wang, you have little hope of seizing the throne, and your ability is outstanding, if it is not as I expected, Empress Chu will soon come to woo you. ”
After Qu Xian finished speaking with great interest, she found that Xiao Mozheng was looking at her with a complicated expression. Qu Xian suddenly reacted, Empress Chu was her aunt, but she seemed to persuade Xiao Mo to join Empress Chu's camp.
"You're here to be a lobbyist for Queen Chu?" Xiao Mo said coldly.
