Chapter 47: Fisherman's Profit?

People sit in the palace, and the pot comes from the sky.

This is what the queen is feeling at the moment.

She didn't even need to tell her family, and she knew that it was definitely not Gu's doing.

The reason is very simple, there is no King Jin among the hunters, Gu is stupid to choose such a time to kill!

King Qin is favored, but his qualifications are mediocre, and the emperor is not the kind of impulsive master. Unless he has no reliable son, he will never consider his son as the prince; let alone the ninth prince, he is currently in front of the emperor. The status is not as good as King Qin!

Why did the Gu family take the risk of murdering the emperor's heir to assassinate these two princes?

She believes that Chunjia also understands this truth, but the problem is that Chunjia loves Yunfenghuang, and when Yunfenghuang cries and makes trouble, the emperor basically doesn't want to be reasonable. The imperial concubine, who was out of breath from crying, obviously didn't intend to present the facts and reason, but ordered people to call Gu Shi over to answer.

Obviously, he intends to follow the concubine to appease the person.

The queen arrived in a hurry with her people, and seeing this situation, she couldn't help tearing her eyes apart, and asked the emperor on the spot, did she plan to push the boat across the river and demolish the bridge? !

"Even though the Empress is a daughter of the Gu family, she has belonged to Her Majesty since she entered the palace." As a result, Chunjia, who was busy coaxing the imperial concubine, had no time to pay attention to her. He said, "How come in your eyes so far, the people and things of the Gu family are more important than the people and things of the Gongxiang family? No matter what Xiao Jiu said, he wanted to call you 'mother queen', but now he meets After such a thing, you didn't even care about it or greet you, but you only cared about Gu, who had nothing to do at all?!"

After finishing speaking, before the queen could say anything, she cried and fell into Chunjia's arms, "Xiao Jiucai was raised by my concubine when he landed. His birth mother passed away early, and this child was recorded under the name of my concubine. After coming down, he is no different from my own flesh and blood... If he has something good or bad, how can I live as a concubine? Your Majesty, you must make the decision for Xiaojiu!"

In fact, the emperor also felt that the Gu family should not be so brainless.

After all, the grievance between the Gu family and the imperial concubine is mainly the dispute for the crown prince.

The possibility of Prince Qin competing with the Ninth Prince for the crown prince is far lower than that of King Jin, and even worse than the Seventh Prince.

Gu's reward for these two poisonous hands is not high, but will put himself in a disadvantageous position.

This is not the behavior of a wealthy family who has passed down wealth for generations.

Even the emperor felt in his heart that the noble concubine should also know that Gu Shi is not the real murderer... Then why did he still send someone to summon Gu Shi to confront him?

This is of course to vent your anger on the imperial concubine.

He felt that he understood the feelings of the imperial concubine. The life and death of a good son is uncertain. The age of King Qin and the Ninth Prince is not enough to invite this kind of assassin. The real culprit will not be found for a while. On the head, if you can pit one is one!

Anyway, the Ninth Prince can't just have an accident!

... After all, the emperor did the same for the major events back then.

If the real culprit can't be caught for the time being, just randomly pull two out of the daily grudge political enemies to top the vat, so as not to look like the court is a waste.

If Yun Fenghuang was looking for Chunjia, he would also be very concerned about it, such as the loving mother Empress Dowager, he might even help to defend one or two.

But, Mrs. Gu...

Grace is really not good.

The emperor didn't want to bear the anger and grievance of a noble concubine himself for such a courtier.

Seeing the empress trembling with anger at this moment, she felt very ignorant, so she coaxed the imperial concubine first: "Don't worry, Ah Huang, Xiao Jiu is our child, how can I sit idly by and ignore his safety? Let's go down and dig three feet along the place where he fell off the cliff, and we will find our Xiaojiu as soon as possible!"

He also said about the queen, "What the noble concubine said is absolutely true! You are my queen and Xiaojiu's aunt! Something happened to a good child, but you care about your mother's family first?! How can you be a little bit like a mother of a country?" Have a temper!"

I was indeed too careless this time, and I was taken into account... The queen sighed in her heart, with a cold face, and after being reprimanded by the emperor, she said: "Your Majesty, I just think that the Ninth Prince may not be in trouble. Otherwise , Why does the imperial concubine still think about attacking Gu's family?"

She was ready to tell the imperial concubine whether Gu Shi was the mastermind of the assassination.

However, the imperial concubine didn't fight her at all at this moment, she just leaned on Chunjia's shoulder and cried, the one on the left said "Xiao Jiu doesn't know what's going on now, whether it's cold or not, whether she's hungry or not, whether she's injured or not", and the one on the right "I knew I would have In this way, I shouldn’t have allowed them to go out in the first place. This is why the concubine went to the ground and explained to his biological mother... Chunjia continued to comfort her, and even gestured to the palace people to send Princess Zhaoqing, the seventh prince, King Jin invites you to come over and coax together, the emperors and concubines are so busy that no one pays attention to the queen.

Gu Zhen: "........."

After a long while, the heirs of the emperors and their attendants hurriedly rushed to the side room of Xingxin Hall, and the Queen's master and servant were pushed out of the door without knowing it...

"Empress, what?" The servants who accompanied the queen were also speechless and at a loss.

Gu Zhen clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Wait, Your Majesty just sent someone to summon Gu Shi, let's see how the noble concubine will fare after Gu Shi people come!"

After a while, the old man Gu waited for the current head of the Gu family to arrive, and his face was very ugly.

After all, when a cauldron flew over suddenly, it was the cauldron that assassinated the prince, who could laugh?

After seeing the ceremony, the noble concubine finally stopped talking, looked at them with hatred, and gently pushed the emperor with her elbow.

Chunjia coughed dryly, and said slowly: "Do you know about the assassination of King Qin and Xiao Jiu?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have just heard about it, and I am really shocked! Qishan is where the emperor resides, and it is also a place for the royal family to escape from summer." Old Master Gu cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "It is really shocking that such a thing happened! I implore your majesty A thorough investigation to the end is not only to seek justice for the two Highnesses, but also to ensure that there are no murderers in Qishan, so as not to disturb Shengjia..."

He first answered from the standpoint of a courtier who had nothing to do with this matter, and at the end he looked at Concubine Min, but he took the initiative to say, "On the way here, I heard that the imperial concubine suspected that Gu's mastermind assassinated the two highnesses? This is really true. Nonsense! But I don't know how the empress learned about this? Can Rong Chen defend himself?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "King Qin and Xiao Jiu are young, although they are a bit stubborn, but they are disputes between children's families, and it is not worthy of anyone to do such a murderous hand! After thinking about it, the two children are probably I was implicated by this palace, that's why I have this catastrophe!"

Old Master Gu said slowly: "I'm afraid the imperial concubine is thinking too much. Not to mention that my family has always been loyal to His Majesty and the court, it is absolutely impossible to do such a crazy thing. Just say that between my family and the empress, is there any What grievances, to the point where the emperor's heir needs to be implicated? Is it because my family can't remember this festival at all, or did the imperial concubine do something in private, so I have to suspect my family?"

"That's right." When the people from the Gu family came just now, the queen had already entered with her heels in, and she added coldly at this moment, "Don't you think that you have won His Majesty's favor, and this palace and the Gu family will put you to death ? Then you are treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain too much! As a concubine, you have served His Majesty well, and this palace is very satisfied, and I have to reward you one or two, how can I blame you?"

"Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, and didn't say anything to their grandparents, but only pulled the emperor, wanting to cry.

Chunjia had no choice but to stand up to favor the concubine, and said: "The Gu family has indeed had some disagreements with the concubine these years, and there is some reason for the concubine to suspect you..."

"Your Majesty, there is no evidence for the concubine's concubine, but it is all based on speculation." Seeing Gu Zhen's anger, the old man sighed, and said unhurriedly, "It can be seen that this assassination is actually a concubine's concubine. It doesn't matter, His Royal Highness Qin Wang, in short, there is no evidence, right?"

This is a fact, so the imperial concubine did not speak to the emperor.

Old Mrs. Gu said: "It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are superb, and they are able to do such a watertight thing just now... It's just that I, Mrs. Gu, belittled myself. Please think about it, my family is the one who can do such a thing?"

He also went all out again, directly admitting that Gu's method was not enough.

Wanting to send the King of Qin and the Ninth Prince for a ride, is not capable!

Then tell me, what does this matter have to do with Mrs. Gu? !

Chunjia had long thought that this would not be the work of Mrs. Gu. Hearing this, and looking at Mrs. Gu's silver-white hair, she felt a little sympathetic, but she did not follow the imperial concubine's words, but gently persuaded: "Ah Huang , I think what Old Master Gu said makes sense?"

Yun Fenghuang's tearful eyes showed hesitation, as if deliberating.

Seeing this, Old Master Gu said again: "Besides, Gu's or the empress's empress, they can't escape here. If the imperial concubine is wholeheartedly pursuing Gu's, and then misses the opportunity to let the real murderer go, wouldn't it be a pain for the relatives?" Enemy fast?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and added with deep meaning, "Or, in the eyes of the imperial concubine, it doesn't really matter who the real culprit is. The important thing is, embarrassing me, Mrs. Gu?"

... Mrs. Gu has reason and evidence. Although the imperial concubine has many ways to mess around, she obviously still cares about the Ninth Prince.

This time, it was rare that he didn't continue to toss, but after wiping his face, he forced the emperor to send more people to investigate and find the assassination of the prince.

After the old master Gu and the queen exited the Xinxintang, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately frowned: "This matter...does your mother know who would do it?"

"Xiaoyun's personality is public, and the few heirs under his knees are not unreasonable. Except for the seventh prince who is kind, the children are not good." The queen thought for a while and shook her head, "If you want to talk about enmity... Mother and son are definitely not in the minority. But if we talk about arranging assassins to assassinate them, it must not be the case."

"..." Old Master Gu actually thought the same way. Although the imperial concubine was spitting blood just now, she was right in saying something.

King Qin and the Ninth Prince are still young, no matter how aggressive they are at the moment, they will not be able to forge a grudge against them directly.

Therefore, the origin of the assassins probably has something to do with the noble concubines, or their identities and situations.

This speculation made the old man's face darken a little, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you might as well pay more attention to the mothers and concubines of other princes in the future."

The queen was taken aback for a moment, and then heard her grandfather continue to mention, "The middle palace and the imperial concubine have had a grudge for a long time, and it has become a habit for the emperor's heirs to criticize each other... This time, King Qin and his party were assassinated, and the nine princes disappeared. The imperial concubine suspected us without even thinking about it." If it's the other way around, it's the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince who have an accident today, who will we suspect first?"

Of course, he was suspicious of Concubine Min!

Gu Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather is suspicious, someone wants to make a profit?"

"It's not like there were no such examples in the previous dynasty." Old Master Gu nodded slightly and said, "Didn't he be the first emperor of Shenzong back then? At that time, several princes under Shizong's knees were fighting to the death with their successors. Who would have thought that Shenzong would be the one who ascended the throne in the end?"

"Now the concubine is still angry, she may not listen."

"When she calms down, you might as well tell her what you said."

"Whether she listens or not is up to her, but we don't need to blame others after all."

"..." The queen pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Don't worry, grandfather, I understand."

Old Mrs. Gu thought for a while, then suddenly stopped, showing consideration, and finally said: "By the way, Jue'er... told me something recently, I think this child is still a bit smart. After all Young people think wildly and unconstrainedly, and she will come back to you in the future, if you have anything to do, why don't you discuss it with her?"
