Especially for Huo Biao, although Huo Biao was supposed to be rewarded generously because he saved Princess Heng from dying, but because Chu Xi was angry in his heart, he played a little trick, and nominally seemed to get a lot of rewards, but in fact there was no preferential treatment.

Still, no one dared to say anything more.

But after Li Yunyu in the deep palace learned the news of Huo Biao's death, the whole person broke down and cried, because there were too many eyeliners around, she didn't even dare to show her grief, so she could only hide in the inner hall, cover her head with a quilt and cry bitterly.

And after venting, she knew that she couldn't go on like this, the person who assassinated Huo Biao hadn't been caught yet, and she couldn't do nothing, so after letting her subordinates recomb her makeup, she came to Chu Xi's Heart Nourishing Hall affectionately.

Although Huo Biao sabotaged Chu Xi's assassination of Shen Xianhe, he was not without gains, after Huo Biao's death, the Huo family army that he brought up with his hand immediately fell into Chu Xi's hands.

Therefore, in total, Chu Xi had a total of 200,000 troops in his hands, and the entire military strength of the Daqing Dynasty was in his hands.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang is asking to see you outside the door."

Chu Xi, who was in a good mood, heard Li Yunyu's arrival, smiled and waved his hand.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Soon, Li Yunyu, who had Chu Xi's permission, walked in with a food box.

While approaching Chu Xi, he said to him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that your appetite has not been very good recently, when the concubine was outside the palace, she learned to make an appetizing pastry, called hawthorn cake, so the concubine specially sent it to Your Majesty today to taste and see how it tastes?"

Looking at Li Yunyu who came, Chu Xi pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the mouth.

"Aifei bothered, since Aifei entered the palace, I have received countless good news, it seems that all this is because of Aifei, and Aifei is so caring, I am in a very good mood today, what reward Aifei wants, talk about it, I may be able to satisfy you."

Li Yunyu pretended to be coquettish and gave Chu Xi a wink, and then said coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want anything, the concubine just needs His Majesty to be happy, and the rest of the concubine has nothing else to ask for."

"Really? After this village, there will be no such shop, so Aifei should hurry up and think about what she wants, right? While I'm in a good mood today, otherwise, I won't have this opportunity later. ”

Chu Xi said to her with a smile while picking up the hawthorn cake brought by Li Yunyu and tasting it.

Such a good opportunity, how could Li Yunyu give up, the postponement just now was just pretending to be tentative, so after making sure that Chu Xi was not joking with her, but serious, she pretended to be embarrassed and tilted her head to think about it.

Then he made a look of surprise at the thought of it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the concubine does have one thing she wants to ask Your Majesty, that is, before the concubine entered the palace, she had an entanglement with Gu Rongrong of the Huai'an Hou Mansion."

"Well, I've heard about this matter, and the day I met Concubine Ai, wasn't Concubine Ai just bullied by Gu Rongrong?"

Chu Xi added.

Li Yunyu nodded.

"Well, yes, Your Majesty promised the concubine a wish today, the concubine has nothing in particular, but the bullying of Gu Rongrong in the past is still vivid, isn't Gu Rongrong General Huo's fiancée? Now that General Huo is gone, then Your Majesty, your reward for the general, Gu Rongrong has the name of General Huo's widow, she can get those benefits, the concubine is uncomfortable, and she doesn't want her to be so proud, so the concubine begs His Majesty to cancel the marriage between the Gu and Huo families, and let Gu Rongrong become the person who has been divorced again, so that she can no longer find a good family. ”

After Li Yunyu finished speaking, seeing Chu Xizheng looking at her with an uncertain expression, she panicked, showed a shy smile, and hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, do you think that the concubines are too femme fatale?"

Chu Xi laughed and shook his head.

"No, Aifei, you misunderstood what I meant, I have always been a person who others respect me and I respect you, if others bully me once, I will return it ten times more, Aifei's character of revenge is very much to my appetite, okay, since this is Aifei's wish, then I will definitely satisfy Aifei."

After speaking, Chu Xi turned his head and instructed the eunuch waiting on the side.

"Someone come, go and spread my will, just say that General Huo died young, and the marriage I gave before will be over."

"Yes."

The eunuch quickly left the palace with Chu Xi's will, and after a while, this matter spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.

On the day Shen Xianhe was assassinated, Su Nianjun learned all the whereabouts of Shen Xianhe that day from the mouths of his subordinates.

Therefore, when Shen Xianhe was unconscious, Su Nianjun came to the Huai'an Hou Mansion and forced him to be disheartened and just wanted to divorce Mrs. Huai'an Hou and drive her out of the Huai'an Hou Mansion to kill Mrs. Huai'an Hou with a cup of poisoned wine.

And Gu Rongrong and Gu Junhe, who witnessed all this, both knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, begging Su Nianjun to let their mother go.

For Gu Rongrong on the side, Su Nianjun didn't pay attention to it, but slowly put his eyes on Gu Junhe, who was kneeling at his feet, and said coldly.

"Why do you think I have to kill her? It's not the things she did at all, Xianhe didn't end her on the spot, but handed her over to Huai'an Hou to deal with, just to spare her life for your sake, but she shouldn't have colluded with Chu Xi to reveal Xianhe's whereabouts to Chu Xi, and let Chu Xi send secret guards to assassinate Xianhe on the street, it was this poisonous woman who killed her son-in-law, killed Chu Yun, and almost killed Xianhe, such a poisonous woman, why didn't this king kill her. ”

Su Nianjun's words made Gu Junhe kneel on the ground weakly, watching his father feed the cup of poison to his mother's mouth.

Gu Rongrong shouted her mother heartbreakingly, and could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Huai'an Hou died in front of her.

Because of her mother's death, Gu Rongrong had already collapsed at that time, and people began to become suspicious, and they were nervous all day long, but they were normal.

However, Chu Xi's cancellation of her marriage to Huo Biao became the last straw that overwhelmed her, making her completely collapse after suffering blows one after another, and she became a real madman.

And Gu Junhe, who couldn't stand all this result anymore, left the capital with Gu Rongrong, who was already crazy, and left the capital, where he went, he didn't disclose.

In the glorious Huai'an Hou Mansion overnight, the wife died violently, the son and daughter ran away from home, and there was only a lonely Huai'an Hou left in the huge Huai'an Hou Mansion.

When Shen Xianhe learned all this, he only nodded lightly, without any extra words.

At this time, Su Nianjun began his first counterattack, which was to let people spread his true identity in the capital.

This incident shocked the already peaceful capital, and all the forces began to move, and the clans and ministers who had long been dissatisfied with Chu Xi began to contact Su Nianjun secretly, preparing to support him to pull down Chu Xi and ascend to the throne.

After this news reached Chu Xi's ears, he didn't believe it, and arrested those who spread rumors and tortured them, forcing them to explain who arranged for them to do this.

"Say, who the hell is it? Who told you to do this? ”

Originally, he didn't need to take action for this kind of torture, but he was so angry that he lost his mind and took matters into his own hands.

The beaten man who was dying did not hide everything in the slightest.

"Yes...... It's the king...... He made us do that...... And that's ...... he told us to say that. ”

Getting this expected answer, Chu Xi was not very happy.

"Okay, it's him, I'll just say it...... Since he wants to steal this position, then I will give him this opportunity. ”

The battle between Su Nianjun and Chu Xi began to shift from the dark to the light, and everyone began to choose a side.

Because of the departure of the bell girl, Meng Lansheng became confused and indifferent to everything around him, and under his mother's suggestion, he finally understood that even if he did not enter the court as an official, he could realize his ideals and ambitions, not to mention, he was not interested in participating in the chaotic Daqing Dynasty now.

Therefore, he made up his mind to come to Qinyuan and see Shen Xianhe.

"I heard you're pregnant, congratulations."

"Thanks, well, it's only been a little over a month."

Shen Xianhe replied with a light smile.

"After saying congratulations, are you okay? After the assassination that day, I came to Qinyuan to see you, but I was stopped by Su Nianjun at the door, saying that you were still unconscious and needed to recuperate, and it took a lot of effort to come in to see you today. ”

Meng Lansheng was very guilty, Shen Xianhe was assassinated, although he knew who the real murderer was? But it didn't help at all.

As for Huo Biao, he just went to see it, and then he never went again, just waiting for the day of his funeral to pass by.

Shen Xianhe's eyes darkened, and he turned to look at the pond behind him.

"Fortunately, Su Nianjun really did it just because he was worried about me, don't worry about it."

"I know, how can I care, I just say this to tell you that he deserves your trust."

Meng Lansheng walked to Shen Xianhe's side and stood side by side with her, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"You're not here to tell me this, are you?"

Shen Xianhe didn't look back.

"Well, I came today, first, I want to see you, and secondly, I want to say goodbye to you, and after Huo Biao's funeral tomorrow, I will leave the capital with my mother and go to find the bell."

Meng Lansheng looked into the distance and said calmly.
