Chapter 535: A Eleven Reappears
The assassination of the crown prince shocked both inside and outside the court!
Even the Empress Dowager ordered Yuguo to go to the East Palace - it is true that the Empress Dowager is disgusted with Emperor Duanhua, but she still likes the great-grandson of the crown prince.
The most important thing is that Emperor Xianjia's bloodline is not much, even if the empress dowager may not support the crown prince's accession to the throne, she does not want to see him have an accident.
"You're over!" Yuguo went to the East Palace and did not return, the Empress Dowager Su was summoned to the Qingxi Palace first, the Empress Dowager looked cold, watched her bow and salute, did not shout, and shouted, "Your Su family was favored in the first emperor's dynasty, and the power was originally above the Wei family!" What's more, the Mourning family and Duanmu Song are both on your side, and it is not hopeless to support King Su, why do you want to assassinate the prince?! Could it be that you plan to leave only King Su in the bloodline of the first emperor?! β
"The queen mother's words are not fair!" The Empress Dowager Su was not frightened, and after a blessing, she raised her head and looked directly at the Empress Dowager on the Danqi, with a calm expression and anger implied, "The Wei family can use He Wenqiong's advantage to lay a net on the left side of the imperial capital, intending to murder the daughter-in-law's only biological son, why can't the daughter-in-law also attack the prince?!" β
"The crown prince is the bloodline of the first emperor, isn't King Su the king?!"
"Then why can the Wei family kill the king of Su, but the daughter-in-law can't kill the prince?!"
"The queen mother is wise, she should understand that this time it was the Wei family who broke the rules first!!"
"My Su family, it's just a tooth for a tooth!"
"It's a joy for a tooth for a tooth!" The Empress Dowager stared at her, and a sad look gradually appeared in her eyes, "But have you thought about it?" The reason why He Lou Duhan was able to assassinate the crown prince was because he was Gu Shao's grandson - at least everyone except you thought he was Gu Shao's grandson before today! β
"Now that the evidence of his assassination of the prince is conclusive, Gu Shao must be unable to escape the blame!"
"Of course, Gu Shao supports the crown prince, and his downfall is a good thing for those of you who intend to support King Su to ascend the throne!"
"But!"
"Except for Gu Shao in the court now, who can pick up the burden of this world in a short period of time?!"
"In the past few years, it has been a struggle for the throne and a competition for the throne, and there have been many ups and downs in the court - but Li Shu is still living and working in peace and contentment!"
"When the first emperor was there, he was the work of the first emperor!"
"After the first emperor goes, it is Gu Shao's ability to soothe the people!"
"If Gu Shao goes to the throne, the world will be ...... Do you want the 20 years of hard work of the first emperor to come to naught?! β
"And don't you forget that the queen only has a crown prince alive, and she doesn't even have a daughter!"
"Once the prince can't survive this time, no one knows what she will do - He Wenqiong has always supported the prince!"
"In case the queen enters the imperial city in order to avenge the crown prince......"
When the Empress Dowager said this, she was so angry that she shouted, "Do you want to cause chaos in the world?!! β
Empress Dowager Su only said calmly: "No matter how much He Wenqiong supports the crown prince, it is impossible to support a dead man to ascend the throne, nor can he support a prince who is unpredictable in life and death to ascend the throne!" Therefore, it is hard to say whether he will continue to support the prince in the future! In that case, how could there be a soldier entering the imperial city? β
"As for the worldβ"
"It's a foregone conclusion that the end will be removed, and now the prince is also dying!"
"It is time to establish a new monarch as soon as possible to reassure the people!"
The Empress Dowager suppressed her impulse to be angry, and said out: "Establish a new monarch early?!" You might as well say that King Su was established early - but before the Wei family did not allow King Su to enter the imperial capital, let alone now?! β
She said in a cold voice, "Even if the crown prince can't hold on this time, you will be willing to admit defeat and surrender the throne to King Su as a Wei family?!" No kidding! β
"The assassination of the prince is the hand of your Su family, the queen would rather kneel in front of Lu Hehao's bastard and be low, and she will never be a vassal to King Su!"
"Your Su family wants to use this method to help King Su ascend the throne as soon as possible, but it's just wishful thinkingββ!!!
When the Empress Dowager angrily scolded the Empress Dowager Su, Gu Shaozheng took the handkerchief handed by the old servant and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth.
"Sir, you must be calm!" The old servant sighed and persuaded while pouring ginseng tea, "If this matter is not handled well at the moment, our entire Hongzhou Gu clan will ...... Take care of your body! β
Having said that, the old servant actually knew that it was too unkind to ask Gu Shao to calm down now and consider the entire Hongzhou Gu clan - you must know that He Lou Duhan was nominally Gu Shao's student, but in fact, Gu Shao raised him as his own son!
This can be seen from the fact that he lived in Jiangnan for a long time in order to cultivate He Lou Duhan nearby, and he attached great importance to this grandson!
Twenty years of cultivation, twenty years of getting along day and night, twenty years of hard work, twenty years of looking forward to the success of grandchildren - what is the expectation, but in the end, it was this grandchild who gave Gu Shao the most unexpected, painful and ruthless blow!
Even though Gu Shao is accustomed to going through ups and downs, the ordinary joys and sorrows of the world have passed like a cloud, how can he stand it?
But the old servant can't help but persuade - murdering the prince of a country, such a crime is not much worse than killing the king, this is to connect the family!
The Hongzhou Gu family is already withering, and after this catastrophe, it is impossible to say that it will follow in the footsteps of Jiangnan Hall!
And now the only one who still has the hope of turning the tide for Hongzhou Gu...... Who else is there besides Gu Shao?
"Do you think he's a little kid or not?" The old servant understood this, and Gu Shao also understood, he took the ginseng tea and drank half of it, feeling that the smell of blood was no longer in his throat, and he said in a dumb voice, "In the past twenty years, I have always taken him with me, even my Gu family's disciple, and there has never been one who can get along with me longer than him - even if it is a stone, it should be covered with heat, right?" β
"What's more, the light death, although it was done by the Gu clan......"
"But to be honest, it's also slightly wrong!"
"How many years of Hongzhou Gu's family reputation, how can it be cut off in her hands?"
"It has been an exception for their mother and son to be away at large for nearly ten years, and it is not unjust to die lightly!"
"I've told him this truth over and over again, and he agrees with it......"
Even if he still remembers his mother's hatred, he feels uncomfortable, but how can he ...... How can it be ...... like this?"
Speaking of this, Rao is Gu Shao couldn't help but burst into tears, "You say, is he not my grandson at all, he was gently deceived?!" At that time, because the clan unanimously requested that the pig cage be lightly immersed, I finally sent the pregnant one to Jiangnan lightly, and asked Ji Nan to help take care of it - but a few years later, Ji Nan passed away, although Yuan'er regarded me as an uncle, but he was young in the end, and he never returned to Jiangnan, and it was not impossible for the Su family to take advantage of it...... You're right? β
Gently is the name of Gu Shao's daughter.
"The old slave thinks so too." The old servant speculated that Gu Shao was talking like this now because he didn't want to believe that his grandson would treat him and the Gu family like this, so he would rather think that He Lou Duhan was actually not his relative, but was tricked by someone.
He sighed secretly in his heart, and said warmly, "Fortunately, the person has been taken by the East Palace, and if time comes, I won't be afraid that I won't be able to ask for clues-by the way, the county lord of Jingmin has already been pregnant before...... This? β
He Lou Duhan assassinated the prince - Gu Shao and the Gu family have to worry about being implicated, not to mention his wife and unborn children!
The problem is that everyone knows that Pei Yourui, the lord of Jingmin County, is the pearl of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom!
"Are you still thinking about that?" When Gu Shao heard this, he laughed miserably, "If the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom can turn her face for the county lord of Jingmin and the empress, then there will be even more reasons for the county lord of Jinghui to turn her face with the empress - since both horizontal and vertical are enemies, do you think the empress, especially the queen, will care about the relationship between aunts and nephews?!" β
He stood up tremblingly, "That's it, bring me the robe...... Something so big happened, even if the emperor hasn't sent someone to get me yet, I should be interested and take the initiative to enter the palace to give an explanation! β
- As Gu Shao said, the emperor and queen, especially Empress Wei, will certainly not let go of Pei Yourui after knowing that He Lou Duhan is an assassin!
It's just that the guards who went to Helou Mansion to get people, kicked open the door, searched all the way to the backyard and saw no one, and interrogated a few mothers-in-law before they realized: Pei Yourui had already left!
He Lou Duhan almost went out of the door with his front and back feet - before He Lou Duhan had waited at the gate of the East Palace for a long time due to the caution of the guards of the East Palace, and this time was enough for Pei Yourui to go out of the city and escape!
In fact, the guards traced all the way to the north gate, and finally confirmed that after Pei Yourui left the house, he took a carriage without the sign of Helou Mansion and left the city from the north gate, and this carriage was found thirty miles outside the city, but the people in the car were gone!
Because of the freezing weather and heavy snow, all traces of the guards were covered with snow when they chased them to the carriage.
And the person who picked up Pei Yourui was obviously very experienced, because even the mastiff that was transferred later, after tracking for a while, lost his direction because the target was too scattered.
"This is obviously the Su family's doing!" People in the know thought so in their hearts, "After all, if you let a secret son of He Lou Duhan's level risk death to assassinate, how can you not leave him a descendant?" β
But in fact, at this time, the Su family was also puzzled: "Who picked up the county lord of Jingmin before our people rushed to Helou Mansion?!" β
Su Shaoge's face was very ugly: "Check!" It must be investigated! He Lou Duhan sacrificed for my Su family, and his wife and unborn heirs must not have any mistakes!! β
"Sister Pei, let's meet again!" Up and down the imperial capital, almost everyone was looking for Pei Yourui - in a small village not far outside the imperial capital, Pei Yourui was waking up leisurely.
When she woke up, she saw a familiar face: calf.
No, it should be said that A Eleven.
Because he is in the period of growth, he is a little taller than the last time he met, with a light robe and a gentle belt, a beautiful jade hanging from his waist, looking like a noble son from a rich family, and there is also a clear bookish atmosphere between his words and demeanors, where can you see the embarrassment of almost a servant corpse in the wind and snow back then?
If it weren't for the fact that the two had been together for several years and were once like sisters and brothers, Pei Yourui couldn't believe that this person was the child she regarded as a poor orphan.
"Is that you?" Pei Yourui was alert and instinctively protected her lower abdomen, and whispered, "What do you want to do?" β
"Sister don't worry!" Seeing this, Jia Eleven took a small step back very considerately, signaled that he had no malicious intent, and then said, "It's not that I'm trying to calculate you this timeβin fact, if I hadn't made the right decision to use the connections I had saved up in front of you earlier to stun you and quickly bring you here, you would have been imprisoned!" β
He said gently, "Even if you can stand it then, how can the child in your belly stand it?" What's more, it is still a question whether the prince can be saved, once he can't be saved, or if he has some kind of disease, the queen mother will have to go crazy - by then, you ......"
"What are you talking about?!" Pei Yourui suddenly lost consciousness after her husband left the house, and when she woke up, she was in the hands of Jia Shiyi, so she didn't know that in the few hours that she had passed out, such a big thing had happened!
When I heard the words at this moment, I was so shocked that I subconsciously covered my mouth!
