Text Chapter 115 The first edge
The more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but run to Concubine Qin over the chaos in the room, and asked anxiously: "Mother, you don't have to be afraid, just tell me everything." β
Seeing that Concubine Qin couldn't hide it from him, a few traces of struggle flashed in her eyes, and then she said, "...... Yesterday a man in black attacked me wrapped in a cloth. He didn't say anything, and he covered his face again, and this palace didn't know who it was. β
Although Concubine Qin said this, Gu Zhiheng could see from the look in her eyes that Concubine Qin had a choice in her heart. And this candidate must be no different from what he thinks.
Concubine Li's disagreement with Concubine Qin is a well-known thing in the palace, and now that Concubine Qin has entered the cold palace, it is Concubine Li who benefits the most. Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable to send someone to scratch Concubine Qin's face in order to prevent future troubles.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhiheng's expression became more and more cold. He held Concubine Qin's shoulders and said to Concubine Qin seriously, "Mother." I'm going to get justice for you. β
After that, before Concubine Qin could react, Gu Zhiheng drew his sword and strode out. "Heng'er......" Concubine Qin wanted to stop her, but she was powerless, so she could only watch Gu Zhiheng go all the way.
However, it was said that Gu Zhiheng was holding back the anger in his heart after he found out that Concubine Qin was disfigured, and immediately couldn't hold it back, and walked towards Concubine Li's palace with his sword.
It was noon, and the sun was scorching. Gu Zhiheng didn't care, with only an angry look on his face, and the long sword pointed directly at Concubine Li's palace.
Along the way, Gu Zhiheng's hideous expression on his face and the long sword in his hand frightened many people. They all looked at Gu Zhiheng with a look of fear on their faces, and after Gu Zhiheng walked away, they talked about it behind their backs.
"His Royal Highness King Wu is so angry, but where are you going? I looked in his direction, but it looked like Concubine Li's palace. There was someone who really couldn't hold back his curiosity, watched Gu Zhiheng walk away, and hurriedly asked the palace maid beside him.
And the one who knew also satisfied her gossip: "Don't you know?" Yesterday, Concubine Qin was disfigured. Although there is no evidence, the palace speculates that it was made by Concubine Li. β
As soon as I heard that someone knew the truth of the matter, many people immediately listened carefully in order to come over. This little palace maid has never received such attention in her life, and when she sees everyone like this, her eyebrows are a little colorful.
She lowered her voice slightly, and said mysteriously: "Haven't Concubine Qin and Concubine Li always been mortal enemies. This time, I heard that Concubine Li was trying to consolidate her position, so she sent someone to scratch Concubine Qin's face. β
"I heard that when the palace maid found out about Concubine Qin, her face had already been scratched, and blood flowed all over the ground. Several palace maids who went there vomited......"
When everyone first learned of such a secret, their faces were a little surprised. At this time, some people had another question: "If this is the case, does the emperor know about this?" Concubine Li is not afraid that the emperor will find out and dislike her? β
"You don't know that." The palace maid who spoke before had an expression of an old god, and said: "Now that Concubine Li is favored, which palace maid and eunuch dare to go to report and touch Concubine Li's brows?" And Concubine Qin's arrogant and domineering appearance when she was favored attracted attracted a lot of dissatisfaction, and many people wanted to step on her on the back of their feet. β
"I see." When everyone heard this, their faces showed a little understanding. Thinking of Concubine Qin's previous high spirits, and then looking at her current appearance, she was embarrassed for a while.
Gu Zhiheng didn't know a word about their discussion. He only came with a sword all the way. Walking to the gate of Concubine Li's Palace, the eunuchs guarding looked at Gu Zhiheng with some fear. A little eunuch cringed and said, "His Royal Highness King Wu, what are you going to do here?" β
"What is this king doing, and I still need you to ask?" Gu Zhiheng frowned, his eyes flashed with obvious impatience, and he flashed the long sword in his hand, "If you don't get out of the way, be careful that this king will even kill you together." β
No one dared to speak anymore. Looking at the demeanor of the two, Gu Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction, and entered the palace with his sword.
As soon as he entered the palace, before others arrived, the voice was the first: "Concubine Li, you are so bold." You dare to do anything to this king's mother, do you really dare to do anything to you? β
"I want to see what you're going to do to him!" Gu Zhiheng was waiting for Concubine Li to show a panicked expression, but unexpectedly heard the emperor's angry voice. Immediately, a slap fell on the face.
This slap was merciless. Gu Zhiheng's originally handsome face immediately swollen, and his fair skin slowly turned red. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "...... Father? β
"You still know that I am your father." The emperor's face was cold. Just now, after he got off the morning court, he came to Concubine Li's palace by himself. Because he came a little late, the emperor immediately decided to have lunch with her in the palace of Concubine Li.
The two chatted casually while having lunch, which was quite leisurely. The emperor was chatting happily, Gu Zhiheng broke in without saying anything, how could he make the emperor not angry?
There was uncontrollable anger on his face, first he was displeased when he was interrupted by Gu Zhiheng, and then after seeing what Gu Zhiheng was holding in his hand, the expression on his face changed suddenly.
Although there is no explicit rule in the palace that you should not carry a sword, everyone in private abides by this principle. Now that Gu Zhiheng is like this, isn't he openly provoking his authority?
Gu Zhiheng didn't notice the emperor's anger, he only knelt on the ground fiercely, his face was a little desolate, and naturally he was more angry: "Father, the son begs you to carefully investigate and deal with Concubine Li. She scratched the face of the concubine, and the retainers were really angry. β
Seeing that Gu Zhiheng piggybacked her in the topic, Concubine Li hurriedly spoke: "His Royal Highness King Wu is joking?" I have never been out of the palace in the past two days. And these days, the palace is almost always in the same place with the emperor. β
The emperor is only favored by Concubine Li at the moment, and when he saw Concubine Li bite to death and refused to admit it, and the emperor thought for a moment, he was indeed staying with Concubine Li these days, and he couldn't help but believe Concubine Li's words.
In this way, what Gu Zhiheng said, the emperor naturally didn't believe it. He turned his head to look at Gu Zhiheng: "Concubine Li has indeed stayed with me these days, what else do you have to say?" Hearing what the emperor said, Gu Zhiheng also had a little anger on his face.
"The mother concubine is indeed a face that has been cut, and the wound is deep and the bone can be seen. If the father doesn't believe it, it is better for his son to go to the cold palace to check it, and he will be able to find out the clues. Gu Zhiheng said seriously, his face full of disbelief towards Concubine Li.
Go to the cold palace? Right now, he was a little bored when he heard the name Concubine Qin. The emperor frowned slightly, thinking unhappily in his heart.
He frowned, and said to Gu Zhiheng, "Didn't you want to get my attention this time?" I don't want to see her, so please go back. β
"Father!" Gu Zhiheng wanted to say something, but was abruptly interrupted by the emperor. He looked at Gu Zhiheng, his face was unprecedentedly cold and stern.
"You dare to take a sword into the harem, this time it is me here with Concubine Li. If I wasn't there, would you want to kill Concubine Li? How old a person is, how can he still do things so naΓ―ve. The emperor rebuked angrily.
He looked at Gu Zhiheng, and there was a deep disappointment in his eyes: "Don't come out if you stay in King Wu's mansion these days." In the Wu Palace, you can also calm down. β
After that, the emperor will no longer go to see Gu Zhiheng. He only made a decree and ordered His Royal Highness King Wu to be grounded in King Wu's mansion for half a month. Gu Zhiheng was unwilling to be troubled by the emperor, but he didn't dare to refute it.
After so many days, Gu Zhiheng's heart can be regarded as understanding. Disgust is disgust, how intimate the father and emperor were in the past, and now when they look at him again, how indifferent they are in their eyes.
Gu Zhiheng had no choice but to accept his fate, returned to King Wu's mansion alone, and accepted the grounding arrangement. The emperor watched him walk away lonely, but he didn't pay attention to it, and only looked at Concubine Li with concern.
"Concubine Li, he is not sensible, but he scared you? If you are frightened, be sure to speak to me. The emperor looked at Concubine Li, with undisguised concern and affection in his eyes.
The emperor is ruthless. This is a clichΓ©, and Concubine Li naturally understands it. However, looking at the emperor's eyes at this time, Concubine Li felt that if she could get this moment of affection, she would be satisfied with death.
She was immersed in that deep love, and secretly swore in her heart: "No matter what, I will do my best to keep the emperor's heart, and never fall out of favor again." β
She thought about things in her heart, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and respond to the emperor: "...... The concubine is fine. But His Royal Highness King Wu doesn't look quite right, can the emperor go and see it? β
"It's just a child who hasn't grown up yet. In the past, I was used to being pampered, but now I dare to be so presumptuous. It's my fault, and it won't be like this anymore. The emperor's eyes were cold, and he said unhappily.
When he said this, he was in the hands of Concubine Li. Concubine Li pretended to persuade a few words, and then began to chat with the emperor about the topic. After a long time, when the emperor was exhausted, Concubine Li sent the emperor away.
She sat lazily, thinking about Gu Zhiheng's performance at noon, and couldn't help but sneer. Gu Zhiheng was indeed used to being too good by Concubine Qin and the emperor before, and now he is doing whatever he wants.
It's just that he doesn't have the capital to do whatever he wants now, which is why he is so disgusted by the emperor. Concubine Li thought silently in her heart, and her face showed a little bit of color.
After this incident, presumably King Wu and Concubine Qin will no longer be able to turn over. And the news in the palace spread quickly, and soon, everyone in the court also learned that Gu Zhiheng had done something wrong and was punished and grounded by the emperor.
In this way, everyone also understands in their hearts: "His Royal Highness King Wu, who was high-spirited in the past, is now afraid that he has lost his position, and there is no future for him." β
After thinking about this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but be placed on the other princes from His Royal Highness King Wu. And Shen Huo, as the crown prince, has naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.
