A few days later, the news of General Wen Tianhao's death came out.

A white lantern was hung on General Wen's mansion, and almost everyone on the streets and alleys was talking about it.

"I heard that General Wen's body is still in the Regent's Palace."

"How can this be, people are not allowed to be buried when they die, the regent palace is really domineering."

"Shhh, what do you know, I heard that General Wen died strangely, he was just slashed, why did he go to the Regent's Mansion and the people were gone......"

"Hey, now that the regent of the court is covering the sky with one hand, who dares to say half a word?"

"Didn't the regent send the envoy of Mo Ziguo out of the capital, so it is the princess regent who is in charge of the regent's mansion now?"

"I didn't expect it...... How can a woman's family do such a ruthless thing......"

When the news reached the British Palace, Gu Xiuting showed a hideous expression on her face, "Let her be proud!" She carefully applied the medicine to her face in the mirror, her teeth gurgling.

Her face has not healed for many days since she fell to the rocky beach under the bridge in Anhe Palace that day, fortunately, Concubine Li sent someone to send her a good medicine prepared by the imperial doctor in the palace, otherwise this face is almost difficult to come out to see people, these days even the King of England does not come to her house, several concubines in the palace have taken the opportunity to pay tribute to the King of England, only to grit her teeth with hatred.

"Princess, someone from Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion has come." Her personal maid Xiaoju came in to spread the word.

Gu Xiuting wiped the medicine and put on the veil again, so that the housekeeper mother from Prime Minister Zuo's mansion was brought into the house.

"I've seen the princess." The housekeeper's mother had a smile on her face.

"What's the matter with my father?" She can guess without asking, it must be her father who told her to do it, since she married into the British Palace, in her memory, her father has never taken the initiative to ask her about her life, like this time she was hurt in the face, Prime Minister Zuo just sent someone to send a lot of wound medicine, telling her to take care of her injuries, but she was afraid that she would be ruined and disliked by the British king.

The housekeeper's mother said: "Recently, there have been rumors outside that General Wen's matter is related to the Regent Palace, and the Prime Minister doesn't know what His Royal Highness thinks about this. ”

Gu Xiuting snorted arrogantly and coldly: "These days, this concubine can't even see His Royal Highness in person, how can she satisfy her father?" ”

The housekeeper's mother smiled, "The Prime Minister said, let you go to the palace often recently, visit Concubine Li's mother......"

Gu Xiuting's eyes flickered, as if she understood something, "Since this is the case, then you go back first, if there is news, Concubine Ben will let someone inform her father." ”

The housekeeper's mother bowed respectfully and stepped back.

Gu Xiuting got up and called the maid outside, "Change clothes." ”

Xiaoju stepped forward and said, "Princess, are you going out of the house?" ”

"Well, groom me, I'm going to the palace."

She fully understands what Prime Minister Zuo means, now is a good time to bring down the Regent's Mansion, Feng Duhan happens to be not in Beijing, what can Ye Zhiwei know about a woman's family, no wonder this kind of thing happens, now that the Regent's Mansion has become the target of public criticism, I believe it won't be long before even the emperor will ask about it.

If they dare to brutalize the officials of the court and buy murder in such a grand manner, not only will the emperor not forgive, but even the officials below will never let them go.

At this time, it is a good time to take the opportunity to seize the power in the palace, the four princes have taken action recently, and there seems to be no movement on the side of the five princes.

He married Gu Xiuting to the King of England, and he intended to take refuge in the side of the King of England, and when the King of England gained power, their family could use their strength to exert their strength.

Not long after Gu Xiuting left the British Palace, the British King returned, and the steward of the palace was already waiting there, and stepped forward and whispered: "The princess has entered the palace." ”

The King's hand as he was changing his clothes couldn't help but froze, "When did she leave?" ”

"Less than half an hour."

The King frowned, changed his clothes and went to the princess's courtyard alone.

Xiaoju was cleaning up the mess left behind by Gu Xiuting after picking out her clothes, when she suddenly saw King Ying flash into the door.

"I've seen Your Highness." Xiaoju hurriedly gave a salute.

The King of England's face was slightly gloomy, not at all as gentle and kind as usual, "Who has the princess seen recently?" ”

Xiaoju hesitated, as if he didn't want to betray his master.

The King looked at Xiaoju, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Slave and maid eighteen ......" Xiao Ju trembled, and wondered why the King of England suddenly asked this.

"It's not too young." The King of England said lightly, "Do you want to follow the princess like this all the time?" ”

Xiaoju panicked, she really didn't want to follow Gu Xiuting anymore all these years, she originally followed Gu Xiuting into the British King's Mansion as a dowry, but Gu Xiuting watched them very closely, and usually didn't let them have the opportunity to get close to the British King, let alone give them a chance to fly on the branches.

"What does Your Highness mean by that...... Slaves...... I don't know ......" Xiao Ju lowered his head tremblingly, staring at the surface of his feet.

"If you have someone you like, you can tell this king, and this king will arrange it for you."

Xiaoju was stunned for a moment, raised his head in disbelief, and looked at the king, "Your Highness......"

"What? Don't you believe in this king? The King suddenly showed a smile, and Xiaoju only felt that his cheeks were hot, and his heart was beating in a panic.

"No, no, how dare the slave not believe His Highness, today someone from Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion asked the princess to ask His Highness about the recent views on General Wen's case......"

Xiaoju intermittently said everything about today.

The king asked her some other things about Gu Xiuting, and Xiaoju answered truthfully.

The king of England stretched out his hand and took off a piece of beautiful jade from his waist and handed it to Xiao Ju, "No matter what happens here in the future, the princess, you can just come and tell the king, if something happens, the king will be the master for you." ”

Xiaoju took the piece of jade with both hands, and she didn't know what to say with joy in her heart, so she had to kneel on the ground and kowtow again and again.

When the king returned, Xiaoju tightly protected the jade on his chest, and his face was full of joy.

And after the king left the princess's courtyard, he hid the smile on his face, and his moonlight eyes became colder and colder.

Wu Long came out of the palace, still looking for an opportunity, changed his route halfway, and went to the regent palace.

"The emperor inquired about General Wen today, and the impeachment of the regent is about to pile up." Wu Long said as he picked up the teacup in front of Ye Zhiwei and drank it in one go.

Ye Zhiwei frowned, "This is what I drank just now." ”

Wu Long smiled with a smile, "I've been busy for a day, let alone drinking water, and I haven't even had time to eat until now." ”

Ye Zhiwei heard this and immediately ordered Xiaolian to go to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Wu Long drank two cups of tea in a row, and then sat down comfortably on the chair, "The fourth prince has been active in the court recently, but in my opinion, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. ”

"What's going on with the five princes?" Ye Zhiwei asked.

Wu Long shook his head, "The strangest thing belongs to him, the fifth prince actually claimed to be infected with the wind and cold, and he didn't come out of the door." Although there has been no change on the British king's side, Gu Xiuting often goes to the harem, saying that she is going to accompany Concubine Li, and she must have said a lot of bad things about you behind your back. ”

Seeing his sneering smile, Ye Zhiwei glared at him fiercely, "I was told bad things, and you are so happy?" ”

"I suddenly thought of a way to solve the crowd, but it was enough for people to look away from you."

Ye Zhiwei looked sideways at Wu Long smiling like a black demon fox, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I was calculated by this black demon fox, but I was afraid that Gu Xiuting would never be able to live so freely in this life......
