When Gu Shao arrived at Xuanming Palace, it happened that three or two palace maids came out surrounded by a beautiful woman in green clothes with cloud temples and temples, and saw the old man with a high crown and a scarlet robe led by the chamberlain, with a good bearing, knowing that it must be an important minister in the court.

"Is that the Warm Beauty?" Gu Shao didn't have the intention of spying on the concubines of the Son of Heaven, but when he happened to meet him, he couldn't help but frown slightly, "With such a captivating color, even if there is no second person in the palace, there will be no mistake in thinking about it!" ”

Although he can't say that seeing a peerless beauty is the same as seeing a stone, and he can't afford to have the slightest ripple in his mood, but his position makes his first reaction when he sees this stunning city, not appreciation, but vigilance - after all, the warm beauty is really beautiful, and she voted for Queen Su, she is favored, how can it be a good thing for the prince?

However, Gu Shao thought about it again, "Your Majesty has been recuperating since the beginning of the year, and this warm beauty is often accompanied by me, but Your Majesty still has her heart set on the prince. ”

Thinking so, he was relieved.

After a while, the chamberlain came out to spread the word, saying that Emperor Xianjia summoned him into the house - Xu was the eldest princess of the summer era, which made the emperor hurt his spirits, and the previous half a year of recuperation was in vain.

He weakly excused Gu Shao's courtesy, and asked with a pale face: "Is the Su family grandson bad?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, exactly!" Gu Shao is not surprised that Emperor Xianjia already knows about this, after all, although the prince has the right to regent, he has no regent, and he knows what to do, how can he not look at it?

- This is also the reason why Emperor Xianjia has been recuperating for more than half a year now, but there is still no obvious improvement, after all, it is impossible for him to really put down everything and concentrate on cultivating his body, no matter how good the medical skills of the imperial doctor are, how can the effect not be discounted?

"That Zhao Wu, is it your person?" Emperor Xianjia also knew that his current body could not withstand long talks, so he asked bluntly, "Where did he come from to be so bold?" ”

Gu Shao was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, that Zhao Wu has nothing to do with the minister, but after he took Su Bofeng into prison, when he sent someone to the imperial capital to deliver the excerpt of impeachment to the Duke of Ji, he also thought about meeting the prince - but the prince ignored it!" ”

Emperor Xianjia sighed when he heard this, and said, "So, the Su family's children are also unlucky?" ”

"I thought it should be." Gu Shao thought for a while and said, "After all, it stands to reason that even if Zhao Wu is narrow-minded, he shouldn't dare to touch Su Bofeng. ”

- Even if it was actually Zhao Wu's son who caused Su Bofeng's cripple, it was Zhao Wu who let his son go to prison to humiliate Su Bofeng, it is said that since Zhao Wu did this, first, he must explain the bottom line to his son, and secondly, he is sure that his son will be obedient, otherwise he will not be able to let his son go no matter how used to his son.

After all, he is no longer optimistic about King Zhao, but Emperor Xianjia is still on the throne, as the emperor's original wife, Queen Su, who is in charge of the six palaces, is the mother-in-law of the prince who must be treated respectfully, where does Zhao Wu have the confidence not to take the queen's nephews and nephews seriously?

As a result, from top to bottom, I thought that Su Bofeng was wronged at most, but he said that he was crippled - this can only say that his life is not good, and he has fallen into a pit that is completely brainless when he is impulsive!

"The Duke of Ji has contributed to the country, and he also supported each other with me in his early years." Emperor Xianjia said these words, and two abnormal flushes had already surged on his pale face, so he quickened his tone, "His eldest grandson has suffered such a crime, and I feel very uncomfortable...... In this matter, we must give the Su family justice! ”

Gu Shao's mind turned, and he said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear!" ”

"I belong to the prince, but I don't want to be too wronged by the Su family." Emperor Xianjia gasped a few times and said weakly, "As for what to do, I have to ask the Qing family to consider it!" ”

"Obey the order!" Gu Shao agreed happily - just after leaving the hall, he couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly: If you like the prince, then you have to guard against the Su family; I don't want the Su family to be wronged, but if the Su family retaliates against Zhao Wu this time, how can they not add momentum to King Zhao?

However, this errand is certainly embarrassing, but Gu Shao's heart is a little lighter: after all, Emperor Xianjia is so energetic to pull the prince offset, but he also does not forget to take care of the Su family, it can be seen that this emperor is cruel to his half-brothers and sisters, and he still misses the old feelings for meritorious ministers.

Although it was said that the emperor would deliberately call him to tell these words, and there was a suspicion of deliberately saying them to him, but the emperor did this, so he showed an attitude - Gu Shao would not completely let down his guard because of this, but his worries about the bird's bow and hiding dissipated a lot.

It's just that after the prince heard this, he felt very tricky: "Father ordered not to wronged the Su family, then Zhao Wu's father and son must be disposed of to the satisfaction of the Su family." But if only the father and son are repaid, if the Su family does not forgive......"

With Zhao Wu's father and son as an introduction, what should I do if I burn the fire to other people, especially the prince?

"Although Your Majesty has the intention of defending the Su family, the most concerned person must be Your Highness." Gu Shao reminded, "Otherwise, why mention His Highness first and then the Su family?" Moreover, His Majesty's words were also relayed by the ministers, and not through others, does this not explain the desire of the Sacred Heart? ”

Emperor Xianjia has affection for the Su family, but this affection will definitely not override the East Palace - the prince must be in his heart when he thinks of this, and he bows his head and says: "After everyone is mentioned in the imperial capital, please ask Gu Xiang for more guidance at that time!" ”

This matter is so decided, because of Emperor Xianjia's words, the prince's faction confirmed that Zhao Wu really wanted to escape this catastrophe with the protection of the East Palace, but he didn't dare to accept it, in the end, the prince's biggest backer is the emperor, if he lost his sacred heart in order to envelop a thorn history, it would be really stupid!

It's just that Zhao Wu and his entourage have not yet been escorted to the imperial capital, but there are rumors in the imperial capital first, suspecting that the East Palace instigated the Zhao family father and son to murder the Su family and grandson in order to compete for the crown!

"The grandson of the Su family is twelve or thirteen years old this year, but he doesn't have a brother to accompany him, maybe the Su family can only count on him in the future!"

"The eldest grandson of the good and dignified is the nephew of the second son of Su, who knows if it is another talent? The result is good now, but I don't need to think about being the champion in the exam! ”

"Ji Guogong is also a little old, he came back from the expedition to Wuhuan last year, and it is said that he hurt his spirit, and since then, he has resigned from his position, just recuperate with peace of mind - it can be seen that the old general's body is really not big, and he is so angry, who knows if he can hold it up?"

"If you can't hold on, the Su family loses this giant tree, the queen is just a female streamer, and the second son of Su has the talent to learn, and the age and qualifications are put aside, what will you do to fight with the East Palace at that time?"

When the prince heard these words, his face was very ugly: "Su Shaoxin has been married for more than ten years, and so far he has only one son, Su Bofeng, and it is okay to say that his heirs are thin; The second son of the Su family, Su Shaoge, is both civil and military, and his body has always been healthy, because his cousin wants to keep filial piety, he has not yet married, who dares to say that he will have no children in the future? ! Ji Guogong will indeed be sad because of Su Bofeng's disability, but how can he have an accident because of this grandson, and he also has three longs and two shorts? ! These words are simply ridiculous! ”

"Your Highness knows the absurdity, so why should you bother?" Gu Shao had to persuade, "What's more, these words can't be from the Su family." ”

Because, "Your Majesty just said before that you want to administer justice to the Su family, and the Su family doesn't need to toss it now, just wait for the Zhao family to escort them before making a move-now making such a rumor is tantamount to forcing Your Majesty to defend you, what good is it for them?" ”

The prince's anger subsided slightly, and he frowned: "It's not the Su family...... Could it be Aunt Daiguo?! ”

When it comes to this little aunt, even if the prince is raised as a prince when he is young, he knows that he is the most taboo for the superiors, but he can't help but show a clear boredom!

"The second king of Wei and Zhao is now the first priority to deal with your Royal Highness, and Zhao Wu is not the person who acts as the eldest princess of the country, even if he is, how can his weight be compared with that of King Zhao? It is impossible for the eldest princess of the country to offend the backbone of the Su family of King Zhao's faction for him. When Gu Shao heard this, he shook his head and said, "It won't be the acting princess." ”

"Who's that?" The prince heard the heaviness in Gu Shao's tone, and his heart was secretly surprised, and he had a faint bad feeling.

Gu Shao sighed: "The old minister hasn't found it yet-but, I'm afraid it's the Queen Mother!" ”

"Imperial Grandmother?!" The crown prince changed color slightly, and said, "The arraignment of this case is still the spontaneous words of the imperial grandmother's mother, it has only been a few days, has the imperial grandmother changed her mind?" ”

If these rumors were made by the Empress Dowager behind the scenes, the next development would be very clear: first finalize the matter of Zhao Wu's son causing Su Bofeng's cripple to the East Palace, and then ask Yi Chu in the name of the prince's cruelty and inhumanity!

Although Emperor Xianjia is still partial to the prince, just like the queen mother chose a daughter between her daughter and her grandson, Emperor Xianjia can choose a son between his sister and his son, but between his mother and his son, how many chances does he still have to choose a son?

In the end, Emperor Xianjia has more than one son, but only one mother!

This is just an emotional choice, intellectually, the prince was a prince when he was young, and for more than ten years, Emperor Xianjia didn't know how much effort he had poured into him, and he was worried about him so far! But the prince still got to the point where even his grandmother gave up on him, even if he was affected by his biological mother Concubine Cui in this matter, it also shows that his ability and blessings are a little lacking!

And a prince who lacks ability and blessings, how can Emperor Xianjia rest assured that he will hand over the country to him? !

Only then did the crown prince wake up, why did Gu Shao attach so much importance to the attitude of the queen mother before-because once his imperial grandmother changed her mind, the threat of the two kings of Wei and Zhao combined could not be compared!

She will directly shake the prince's biggest backer, Emperor Xianjia's choice!

Under the frightened, the prince calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Although the imperial grandmother was partial to the Su family a few days ago, she was still in hesitation - after all, Mr. Gu is also the eldest grandson she grew up watching!" Now if this rumor really comes from the hands of the imperial grandmother, I am afraid that these days, what has happened in the Qingxi Palace, which has made the imperial grandmother make up her mind! ”

He admitted his responsibility, "This matter is Lonely, Gu Xiang has reminded Lone many times to be attentive to the emperor's grandmother, but Lone is still negligent!" ”

The crown prince finally showed whether Emperor Xianjia's teachings in the past ten years were not in vain, and after thinking about it quickly, he decisively decided, "Now send someone to inquire whether the rumors are from the hands of the imperial grandmother, and whether the imperial grandmother has the intention of abolishing orphans - if not, then it is naturally the best!" If so, Mr. Gu will also try to explain to the emperor's grandmother! ”

If you can't explain it clearly, or the Queen Mother doesn't want to hear him explain at all......

The prince narrowed his eyes and didn't say what to do, but said, "In short, let's find out the source of the rumors first!" ”

Gu Shao didn't ask, and bowed calmly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After he retired and left, the prince brushed his sleeves and got up: "Go to Xifu Palace!" ”
