Chapter 68: The cousin is the elder of this king
Previously, Song Ren and his wife intended to be a matchmaker for their son, and they went back and forth two or three times, but Luo Yingwan didn't like Song Hongzhe, so the Duchess of Guo casually found an excuse to refuse.
This matter was not clarified, and the Duchess thought that it did not affect the relationship between the two families, but she didn't expect that the Song family was so vicious and wanted to destroy her daughter!
Gu Cezhou's eyes sank and asked, "Is that really the case?!" ”
The Song family all knelt on the ground, even Concubine Song De, who was being favored.
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged." Song Ren shouted, "How can Weichen be such a despicable villain, Weichen is willing to swear with his life, he will never do this!" ”
Mrs. Song said that "Your Majesty, at today's birthday banquet, the courtiers hired a lot of people to help run errands outside, it must be a mistake in their busyness, and the Song family has no intention of revenge." ”
Song Hongzhe also said: "Someone must have designed a frame-up, begging Your Majesty to investigate, use a heavy punishment on this servant, and return my Song family's innocence!" ”
At this time, the maid looked at Song Hongzhe in disbelief, and tears flowed: "Second young master, you ...... How can you be so ruthless. ”
She suddenly said this sentence, and the situation changed in an instant.
Anyone who listened to it felt that Song Hongzhe couldn't succeed in courtship, and instructed the maidservant to commit murder.
Gu Cezhou was immediately confused, and ordered: "Song Qing, I know very well what your conduct is. Come on, drag this cheap slave down and beat him to death! ”
The Guards immediately dragged the maidservant down.
They are also very experienced in keeping the mouths of their servants shut so that they do not say things that they should not say.
The Duchess of Guo had a cold face, how could she not understand that the young emperor wanted to protect the Song family and wanted to expose the matter quickly.
Gu Beirin said: "Since Your Majesty killed the cheap slave and spoke out for Neizi, the Weichen couple retired. ”
Gu Cezhou saw that he did not continue to investigate, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He needs Song Ren's power in the court, so he must not let the Song family have an accident at this juncture.
King Jing and his wife left, and Mrs. Guo also left with her daughter, not wanting to stay in the Song family for a few more moments.
The guests had already dispersed, and Gu Cezhou also got on a sedan chair and returned to the palace.
Soon, he felt that something was wrong, so he stared at Concubine Song De: "You tell the truth, is today's incident your Song family's doing?" ”
Concubine Song De's eyes were red, and she hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, my father only put Mu Wulang together, and he didn't plan anything else. ”
"Your brother was bent on marrying Luo Yingwan before, who knew that other girls didn't look down on him at all, and he didn't have any resentment?"
"He was a little angry, but he still knew the severity, if Miss Luo had an accident in the Song family, we would not be able to escape the blame." Song Defei said.
Gu Cezhou was suddenly startled, and soon understood: "It's a trick!" ”
This is a game set by his good mother!
——
At this time, the carriage of King Jing's mansion.
Even though it is spacious, it is still a little inconvenient to turn around with three people crowded at the same time.
Fortunately, Shen Yunzhu's medicine box was full of medicines, and Gu Beirin gently applied a layer of scald cream to her.
He was a little ostentatious, and deliberately glanced at Mu Xiao.
But Mu Xiao lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I see." Mu Xiao suddenly spoke, "This is probably something that someone did on purpose, Your Majesty is a trick." ”
Gu Beirin raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes: "You're not too stupid, but your reaction is still slow." ”
Mu Xiao was slightly surprised: "The prince has already seen it?" ”
Shen Yunzhu's burns were no longer painful, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Beirin.
"Song Ren is now in full swing, and he is overpowering Shen Yan in the cabinet, will he take revenge for an unspecified family matter?" Gu Beirin explained, "He has a forbearant temperament, as long as the young emperor firmly trusts him at that time and orders to investigate this matter, he will be able to clear the suspicion of the Song family." ”
He saw that something was wrong on the spot.
It's a pity that Gu Cezhou still can't stabilize it, for fear that the Song family will be implicated.
"Is it the Queen Mother?" Shen Yunzhu quickly locked on the characters, "Is this to make the Song family and the Guogong Mansion turn their faces?" The queen mother is good at reaping the benefits of the fisherman? ”
Gu Beirin nodded: "That's right, the Duke of Yue Guo was entrusted by the first emperor, holding the military power of the Gyeonggi battalion and guarding Shengjing, before today, he was a neutral, but after today, it may be uncertain." ”
"My cousin has reacted, then Your Majesty should also figure it out, and if he asks people to find out, won't he be able to resolve the disagreement between the two families?" Shen Yunzhu asked.
"It's too late, the servant girl should have been killed. If he could react at that time, he would be able to crack the game, but he couldn't stabilize himself first, for fear that the Song family would be implicated. Gu Beirin said, "Now that the Duchess of Guo has returned to the house, the Duke of Yue can also understand the trick, but the Duke of Yue Guo has an upright temperament and is also outspoken to the first emperor, how can he endure the young emperor's practice of favoritism and harmony." ”
Shen Yunzhu understood: "The Queen Mother is so ruthless, this is to control everyone's temperament to death." Framing the Song family is secondary, she mainly wants to make the Duke of Yue disappointed in His Majesty. ”
Gu Beirin smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze: "You are not bad, you can understand the queen mother's mind with a few words." ”
Shen Yunzhu was praised and was in a good mood.
Mu Xiao looked at the two of them every word, so they didn't understand each other, although he felt a little sour in his heart, he was finally relieved.
It seems that what her cousin said is true, Gu Beirin treats her really well.
Back at King Jing's Mansion, Shen Yunzhu went to the east wing to change clothes.
Mu Xiao waited in the flower hall.
He still couldn't help it, and asked directly: "Today's matter, what is the intention of the prince to contribute to the trouble?" ”
Gu Beirin is a member of the royal family, so he should be loyal to Gu Cezhou and not let the Queen Mother's treacherous plan succeed.
Gu Beirin had a bit of an oath of sovereignty: "Yun'er was burned at the banquet, and the young emperor and the Song family wanted to fool the past casually, so don't blame this king for fanning the flames." ”
Now it is them who have a marriage letter, and they are opposite each other day and night, and he has pried this corner.
Mu Xiao was slightly stunned, how does this sound a little jealous?
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will understand and blame the prince." He voiced his concerns.
"Blame the blame, blame, is it difficult for this king to swallow his anger?" Gu Beirin said, "The position of the Ninety-Five Venerable, you can't sit down if you don't have any ability. ”
Mu Xiao frowned, only feeling that Gu Beirin was too arrogant, in the final analysis, the position of his deputy commander was also given by the young emperor.
He couldn't help complaining: "The prince is too impulsive, if Your Majesty is angry with you because of this and no longer trusts you, you will have a difficult time in the future." ”
On top of that, it will also affect my cousin.
Gu Beirin saw Mu Xiao's concern, and chuckled: "Then you can take a good look at whether this king wants to rely on the young emperor, or the young emperor will come to please this king in the future." ”
It was obviously arrogant and arrogant, but it made Mu Xiao feel that Gu Beirin had this ability, and he was not talking nonsense.
The maid served tea at this time.
Gu Beirin raised his eyebrows and said, "Cousin, this is the dragon well before the rain that this king treasures, you can taste it." ”
