After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother hid her face and wept: "Do you know the pain of losing a child in the twilight of the mourning family, it is really more painful than cutting the heart with a knife." The mourning family didn't know that Rong Xu couldn't come back, but how could the mourning family be willing to let go. Give up on him when he has forgotten about himself. ”

Gu Changming was silent, looking intently at the corpse of the Nine Emperor Princes, and found that on the skin, the corpse spots had not yet grown, and there were already spots and bruises: "The Queen Mother has locked the Nine Emperor Princes all the time?" ”

"Yes, the mourning family can't watch him die, and they can't really let him hurt people anymore, so they deliberately built an iron chain to bind him within a certain range, and deliver food and water every day. Today, I don't know what stimulated him, but he actually broke the chain and got blood everywhere. The blood you saw, except for the fact that two guards escorted him and was unfortunately killed, all came out of Rong Xu's body. The Queen Mother thought of the miserable situation at that time, and her pupils contracted into a little, obviously terrified.

Rong Xu originally heard the voice of the Queen Mother, but he could calm down a little, at least he was willing to eat the cooked meat pieces sent over. After going crazy today, it is useless for the Queen Mother to shout. Rong Xu pounced on the sound instead, and the nails of his ten fingers were as sharp as knives, almost dripping blood on the Queen Mother's face.

And the guard who stopped in front of the Queen Mother was not Rong Xu's opponent at all, and was caught by his fingernails on the artery on the side of his neck and died on the spot. Rong Xu shed too much blood, his movements became more and more sluggish, and he was outflanked and surrounded by the remaining four guards, and quickly consumed the last bit of qi and blood.

The Queen Mother is powerless to stop it, there is too much blood, she understands that if she forcibly saves Rong Xu, she may not even be able to stand it. But seeing her beloved young son die in front of her with all her heart, the Queen Mother seemed to be twenty years old all of a sudden.

"The mourners know that they are wrong, so they can't be wrong again and again." The queen mother's barely maintained posture was about to collapse, and after saying what she said just now, her legs were weak and she couldn't stand. It was Gu Changming who quickly helped her up, and then sent her to the armchair next to her to sit firmly. She in turn grabbed Gu Changming's hand tightly, "The mourning family told you this, you should know what it was for!" ”

"The Queen Mother wants to find out who sent the Western Regions Dog to the Nine Emperor Princes, and who took this beast away after the Nine Emperors had an accident." Gu Changming naturally understood the Queen Mother's intention to avenge her young son, "Even though there are many coincidences in the world, the changes of the Nine Emperor Princes must have been deliberately manipulated by someone. Even the sudden outburst tonight that can't be controlled may be man-made. ”

If the Queen Mother was injured by the Nine Emperors, it would be a big blow to the emperor. Gu Changming thought deeper, if the queen mother was injured, she would also become the situation of the Nine Emperor Princes, how would the emperor deal with it! This is obviously a conspiracy, and his presence may interrupt the link and prevent this vicious circle from continuing.

"Yes, the mourning family has thought about it, even if they destroy the mouth of the entire Changchun Palace, they will not be able to save Rong Xu's life. The mourning family is tired, keep them here to accompany the mourning family, if someone likes to talk nonsense with a long tongue, don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless. The Queen Mother raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and did not raise her head until she kneaded the vertical lines into red marks. The water vapor in his eyes was gone, leaving behind the Queen Mother's decisiveness.

Since the last time Gu Changming saw the Queen Mother in the small sedan chair outside Liufu, he always left a gentle and sad beautiful woman, and almost forgot that fifty percent of the credit for the first emperor's accession to the throne came from the Queen Mother. There used to be bold people who analyzed the situation in the DPRK and China, saying that the character of the first emperor was too weak, but the queen mother was wise and decisive, and today's emperor's methods of doing things are more and more similar to the queen mother.

The personality of the deceased Nine Emperor Rong Xu is very consistent with the first emperor, but the relationship between the queen mother and the first emperor is excellent, and the shadow of the first emperor can almost be seen in the young son. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, the nine princes were tolerated everywhere, and the first emperor could only do it in reverie, and the queen mother was willing to let Rong Xu do it.

Unexpectedly, this would harm Rong Xu. Seeing that Gu Changming was silent, the Queen Mother did not mean to take over this tricky unsolved case directly: "What's the matter, you are also cowardly at a critical time?" ”

"Why did the Queen Mother choose me?" Gu Changming asked rhetorically, not to mention the officials of the DPRK and China, there are quite a few cronies and guards around the Queen Mother. Even Situ An seems to be more suitable for this role than him.

"Because the mourning family has intuition, only by entrusting this matter to you can there be great consummation." The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse, but her tone was tough and indefensible, "If you do this for the mourning family, the mourning family will also allow you one thing." ”

"I don't have any ambitions, just take a walk and see all the way, I really don't dare to ask the Queen Mother to do something for me." Gu Changming said it too tactfully, and the Empress Dowager's words were equivalent to pardoning dozens of lives in the entire Changchun Palace, and his heart was slightly relieved. If it weren't for that, would he have begged the Queen Mother for a favor?

"The mourning family is not going to do anything for you, you are young and famous, and you live a life of fresh clothes and angry horses. What the mourners want to give you is what you want to know but don't understand. The Queen Mother walked to Rong Xu's corpse, took a deep look, and pulled open the white silk cloth to cover up the entire corpse, "Even if it's not the Queen Mother, if a mother wants to find the real murderer who killed her son, does Prince Changming choose to watch coldly?" ”

"Queen Mother, I am not a person in the court, and I can't enter the palace at will, I am really not very suitable for taking on important responsibilities, and I am not deliberately resigning." Gu Changming didn't want the Queen Mother to misunderstand, the main Queen Mother's words were sincere, and he just burst into tears, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"If the mourning family says that you find the real murderer of the child Rong Xu, the mourning family will tell you the whereabouts of your father Gu Wuduo?" The Queen Mother's words were like a thunderbolt, resounding in Gu Changming's ears.

He had looked for a lot of places where his father might go, not to mention clues, there were no clues. Gu Changming once speculated that his father's accidental disappearance might be related to the emperor, but with real evidence, no one could rush to the palace to question the emperor.

The Queen Mother's words were equivalent to confirming his thoughts, and he quickly thought about it and wanted to confirm again: "Tai Hui really knows the whereabouts of his father, is his father okay now?" ”

"Gu Wuduo's ability, you should be very clear about being a son, so he is still alive." The Queen Mother is very cautious in her words, she can obviously say that she is alive and well, but when the words come to her mouth, she is still alive. Gu Changming's heart has never been stable, but the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and she will not lie to ask for Gu Changming's help, "The little clue that the mourning family got was that the Western Regions dog next to Rong Xu was not sent by officials in the court, nor was it from the palace. ”

Such a large dog will certainly not come from a formal channel. To Gu Changming's surprise, if the Queen Mother wanted to catch the murderer like this, she must have laid a search net, but she got very few clues.

"Do you understand why the mourning family wants you to go to the real murderer? The real murderer is not in the palace, and it is not within the reach of the mourning family. And you are always walking outside the palace, able to go farther and see wider than others. The mourning family felt that the matter would not end because of Rong Xu's death, they spent such energy, such means, but it was just to kill an idle prince who had no real power regardless of things, and it was meaningless at all. The Queen Mother looked directly at Gu Changming, not aggressively, but reasonablely, "What if the next step will threaten the emperor, what is the use of us trying to stop it at that time?" ”

Gu Changming took a deep breath: "What the Queen Mother taught me is that I am short-sighted, I only see what is in front of me, and I don't think of these deeper details behind. ”

"It's not that you didn't think of it, you don't want to get involved. But the mourning family wants you to get involved. The Queen Mother turned around and took out a bag from the dark compartment of the small cabinet, "You keep this thing close to you, you don't usually need to take it out and look at it carefully, just save your life at a critical time." ”

Gu Changming didn't have a trace of curiosity in his eyes, and took the bag with both hands: "I will do my best." ”

"Very good, the mourning family is half relieved to have these four words you said." After the Queen Mother finished telling this, she waved her hand at him and said, "You go, you don't have to enter the palace recently." Rong Xu's funeral will make the mourning family not in the mood to see anyone again. As for the Liu girl you left behind, the mourning family should only assume that this person never existed, and would never mention it in the future. ”

Gu Changming made a cautious salute to the Queen Mother, took the bag into his arms, and withdrew from Changchun Palace alone.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Changchun Palace, the cold feeling of man's back thorn slowly subsided. Situ An really stood by the palace gate, and when he saw Gu Changming come out, he had no surprised expression. Neither of them spoke, but looked at each other. Situ An summoned two people from the shadows, guarded the position where he was standing just now, and came over himself to personally send Gu Changming out of the palace.

Neither of them spoke, but they had a special tacit understanding. Situ An kept sending Gu Changming to the gate of the palace, watching him beckon to come over and fly on the horse. Soon turned around and disappeared into the large shadows at the palace gate.

Gu Changming rode back, and there were people at home who were anxiously waiting for him. Dai Guozi stood outside the door of Gu's house, and he didn't know how long he had waited or how long the night wind had been blowing. When Gu Changming dismounted, his palm was on half of his shoulder, and the cold dew was layered: "I went to the palace once, and there is no danger, what are you waiting here for?" ”

"Who said that there is no danger in entering the palace, my godfather used to often tell me that a companion is like a tiger. Calling you into the palace at this time is definitely not a cheap good thing, can I not worry. Well, even if I'm not worried, there are two more in here, can they not worry! Dai Guozi glanced Gu Changming up and down, made sure that he was all right, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face showed a puffed up look, "It seems that I am thankless, and I can't get into the eyes of you, Gu Gongzi." ”

Gu Changming has only experienced such a silent thrill, where is there still the leisure to quarrel with Dai Guozi: "You said that there are two people inside, has the little phoenix come back?" Did she bring the little gourd back? ”
