Chapter 68: Attempted Rebellion
When the first heavy snow fell in the Tanglin Kingdom, Chu Shuyao received a congratulatory gift from the Western Chu Kingdom. The congratulatory gift that the Western Chu Kingdom gave to the Tanglin Kingdom this time was very well prepared and extremely thoughtful.
It's all detailed and accurate, which lady in the harem gets it.
Chu Shuyao knew that if these gifts could be delivered to her, Mu Lingxuan must have seen them.
There is nothing special in this, just some jewelry and jewelry, local specialties unique to the Western Chu Kingdom, and some gadgets.
Now Chu Shuyao's belly is getting more and more round, she doesn't want this child. But she could feel that the flesh and blood connected to her blood were growing day by day.
The child is not at fault, she is at fault. She can't just strangle a little life that hasn't been born in order to correct her mistakes.
Yu Zhuo and Yu Run laughed and played, and built a snow doll in the courtyard of Shuhua Yaotai.
Xu is the reason why her body is getting bulky day by day, and she doesn't want to move anymore, and she doesn't want to talk anymore.
She was so withdrawn that Concubine Xian became worried, and everyone who was on the same page brought the little princess to chat with her.
She only shows a smile when she sees her concubine.
Today, she saw Yuzhuo and Yurun building a snowman in the yard, and she laughed rarely.
Mama Kong walked over and said to the lady concubine Niangniang very happily, "Niangniang, this is the first time in nearly a month that the slave has smiled when she saw you except for the little princess. ”
"If the mother can relax and be happy all the time, then the slave will be relieved."
"Mama Kong, don't worry too much about me. I know it in my heart. ”
"Niangniang, the slave has seen too much, because the pregnant woman is in a bad mood, and finally the fetus is stillborn, or one corpse and two lives. The slave is really scared. Maybe the mother will think that the slave is too alarmist, but what the slave and the maid say is the truth! ”
"Mama Kong, I know that you are really for my good, don't think about it too much, I will be fine."
The background of Concubine Shu's departure reveals loneliness and despair. Mama Kong saw it in her eyes, and her whole heart panicked.
In a panic, Mama Kong could only go to the emperor and report the matter to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the slave has lived for so many years, and she has seen a lot of things. The current appearance of the lady concubine seems to have a determination to die! ”
"If you can't persuade in time, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."
Mu Lingxuan was also shocked when he heard Mama Kong say these words. He couldn't have imagined that Chu Shuyao would do such a thing.
"In the past few days, you must always monitor Concubine Shu's movements. Don't let her think about it and do irreparable things. I'll figure it out as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, slave understands." Mama Kong also nodded busily.
After that, the emperor went to Concubine Shu and stayed overnight at Concubine Shu's.
No one knew what the emperor said to Concubine Shu that night, only to hear what seemed to be a quarrel inside.
"You just don't want to give birth to this child? That's how you want to die? Mu Lingxuan asked bitterly.
Chu Shuyao put a dagger against her neck and warned, "If you get even half a step closer to me, I will die for you." ”
"You're right, I don't want to live, and I won't let this child be born. For me, it's my shame. My dignified princess of the Western Chu Kingdom has actually been reduced to the concubine of the Tanglin Kingdom, and I have to give birth to children for you. ”
"If I fall to this point, I might as well die?"
"Huh." Mu Lingxuan sneered.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you are still the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom? Good! What if you are the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom? Don't you know what the Western Chu Kingdom has become now? ”
"Put away your Qinggao! Who will you show if you pretend to be high? ”
"You think I care about you, about the child in your womb? It's just a princess of a ruined country, and I won't take it seriously. Keeping your delicious food and drink in the palace is just a demonstration of the generosity of my Tanglin Kingdom. ”
"I might as well tell you what I was going to do. I plan to wait for you to give birth to this child, support this child, and become the new emperor of the Western Chu Kingdom. But even if you die, I have a way to block the news. Then he announced to the public that if you die in childbirth, I can still support a child to ascend to the throne. ”
"So, if you die, you die in vain."
"It's just that without your plea, I don't know if I will let go of the Queen Mother of the Western Chu Kingdom at that time."
"You threaten me?"
"Threat?"
Mu Lingxuan sneered again.
"Do I need to threaten you? I'm just trying to tell you what I'm going to do in the future. ”
After a silent confrontation between the two sides, Chu Shuyao suddenly laughed, "No, you just care about this kid at all." Otherwise you wouldn't have come to you and say these things to me. The more you don't care, the more I can feel that you care. ”
Chu Shuyao said very firmly.
Mu Lingxuan's face did not change, "She is worthy of being the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, why doesn't she have self-knowledge?" If you feel important, do whatever you want! ”
Mu Lingxuan didn't want to continue talking anymore and was about to leave, but Chu Shuyao stopped him, "I know what you want?" You want to take control of the Western Chu Kingdom. And my purpose is to protect the Western Chu State. As long as I don't die, I won't watch you trample on the Western Chu Kingdom. ”
After hearing this, Mu Lingxuan still left without saying a word.
Chu Shuyao is in a dilemma, what should she do?
At this time, the Southern Xinjiang State united with the Western Chu State and asked the Tanglin State to hand over the princess of the Western Chu State.
The Tanglin Kingdom refused to admit that the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom was in the Tanglin Kingdom, and also questioned the Western Chu Kingdom, if it was not announced by the first emperor of the Western Chu State himself, was the princess already dead?
Regarding the questioning of the Tanglin Kingdom, Meng Yichen explained, "At the beginning, the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom fell off the cliff and did not find the body. Everyone believes that Princess Yan is dead. ”
"But I recently found out that the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom lost her memory after falling off the cliff, and came to the Tanglin Kingdom in a circle, and by chance, she entered the palace of the Tanglin Kingdom, and now she is the concubine of the Tanglin Kingdom."
The emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom was shocked when he heard about this.
Quickly ordered someone to investigate the matter, and later found out that the matter was indeed true.
The emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom announced to the outside world that this is the will of heaven, and he and the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom are so fateful.
Now the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom has become the concubine of the Tanglin Kingdom, and she is pregnant. So returning, naturally, is impossible.
However, since she is the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, her status is noble, and she is in the position of a concubine, she is indeed too wronged by the princess.
Therefore, the emperor immediately decreed that Concubine Jin was crowned as the imperial concubine, and she was the same as the deputy queen.
The emperors of the Tanglin Kingdom have all given such explanations, and the people of the Western Chu Kingdom and the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom naturally can't say anything anymore.
However, after the news spread, it caused the shock of people all over the world.
The old lady of Yongchang Houfu was discussing important matters with Gu Beicheng.
Old Man Gu said with a cautious and excited face, "Beicheng, our opportunity has come. After waiting for so many years, it is finally time to wait for this day. ”
"Grandpa, my grandson doesn't understand what grandpa means by that."
"Silly boy, didn't grandpa tell you a long time ago? The Taoist priest who told the fortune told that in the future, we will have an emperor in our family. The Taoist priest calculated before that one of the daughters of the Shen family had a phoenix personality. You married Shen Xian. ”
"Before, we thought that we were marrying the wrong person, and the person with the phoenix personality would be the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, that is, Shen Shu. It's just that now it seems that this Shen Xian is the person of the phoenix life! ”
"This kind of person is the most blessed. She didn't have to do anything. Naturally, blessings came to the door. And her opportunity was given to her by Shen Shu in the palace, that is, the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom. ”
"Grandpa, what do you mean by these words?" Gu Beicheng frowned.
"You go and contact Meng Yichen! Let's just say that we take care of our family and are willing to cooperate with him. When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined. The Western Chu Kingdom has a stable state, and we take care of our family and get the world of the Tanglin Kingdom. ”
"Grandpa! Are you sure you want to do this? Now we are in the Tanglin Kingdom, and we are already a supreme minister. Why do you need to seek riches in this danger? ”
"If things can be successful, we will take care of our family and bear the infamy. If things fail. Then our Gu family will be punished by the Nine Clans. ”
"I've been planning for this all my life. You asked me to stop now, how could it be? If grandpa doesn't do this in this life, he won't be blind when he dies! Beicheng, you should know grandpa's mind, right? This is grandpa's obsession. ”
"And don't you like Chu Shuyao's woman? As long as you become the lord of a kingdom in the Tanglin Kingdom. That Chu Shuyao, isn't it yours? Even if the Western Chu State and the Southern Xinjiang Congress asked the princess to return to the country, what would it be? The forces of our Tanglin Kingdom don't need to be afraid of them at all. ”
"Grandpa, why do you have to do this? Isn't it good to let go of obsessions? Even if it succeeds, it will not be worth the loss! ”
Gu Beicheng can be said to have maintained his sanity.
But Old Man Gu lost his temper, "If you don't want to do it, then I'll drag my old bones and do it myself." Anyway, I have to do it. Unless you kill me. ”
In the face of Old Man Gu's persistence, Gu Beicheng could only compromise. "Okay, I'll listen to grandpa, I'll arrange it."
Outside the door, Shen Xian, who was holding tea, couldn't move when she heard the conversation inside.
She was afraid that if she moved, she would tremble uncontrollably. If it makes a noise, it's not good to be discovered.
The words that Old Man Gu said really made her heart move. If it comes to pass, she will be the queen of a country.
But what about the Queen? Gu Beicheng didn't like her at all.
But if the matter fails, she will return to the child, and she will have to pay for the lives of these two crazy grandchildren.
No, she can't die, and the child can't die. She had to find a surefire solution.
She is not a fool, she can conclude that the Gu family's plans will not succeed.
Gu Beicheng also knew that there was little chance of success in this matter. It's just that I have to listen to the old man.
This old man of the Gu family was really carried away by power and desire. Shen Xian thought so in her heart.
