Chapter 179: The Mind Has Been Decided

Gu Liman is going crazy! ! !

She is the daughter of an offshoot of the Gu family, and was not taken seriously since she was a child.

After entering the palace, she has been bullied by the two elder sisters, and the days of enduring humiliation have not changed since the Twelfth Prince landed.

She didn't dare to resist.

The main reason is to worry about offending the sisters of the main branch. If they persuade the queen to leave the mother and keep the child, then she...

She wants to live.

It is simply that the twelve princes are three years old. Gu Liman thought that since she is still alive, the queen should not want to kill her for the time being. She tried to resist, but found that the queen did not continue to push back. preferential treatment.

But who would have thought that Gu Su would make such a murderous move? !

When she was lying on the sickbed, the maid in front of the queen came and promised her that she would be a concubine, and that if she gave birth to another child in the future, she could raise her by herself... At that time she sneered and asked, "Is this my concubine's appearance?" Your Majesty will give this concubine another child?!"

The maid was silent for a while, and said: "In the future, if a concubine gives birth to a child, the empress will fight for you. Besides, although the twelve princes did not grow up with you, it would be better to know that he will be with the empress. As the biological mother, Is there any regret?"

Of course she regretted it. From Gu Liman's point of view, it's okay if her son can't be a prince. Even if he's just a prince, as long as he grows up safely, he will be able to protect her as a princess in the future, right?

She is satisfied with the result of her origin.

Anyway, she didn't expect herself to be the empress dowager.

But she didn't count.

Without the Gu family, she wouldn't even have the chance to enter the palace, so it's not up to her to decide what to do with her child after it's born, and what to do with her future.

No matter how unwilling she was, the maid gave the promise of being a concubine, and hinted that Gu Su would be dealt with severely, Gu Liman vented a bit, but could only accept her fate.

Who knows that only half the night has passed, she was forcibly pulled up from the sick bed and dragged to the Spring Palace. From the beginning to the end, it was the empress dowager, the empress talking to the imperial concubine, and she was knelt on the ground and trembling, obviously a victim , she is obviously the biological mother of the twelve princes, but the three high above her didn't even give her a look.

On the contrary, Gu Su, the culprit, even got a chance to answer, and because the answer satisfied the empress dowager and noble concubine, he was registered as concubine Mu on the spot!

Even the fact that she scratched Gu Liman was forgotten by the empress dowager.

As for the empress... Gu Zhen was on the verge of collapse at that time, and could violently fight the empress dowager and concubine at any time. She tried her best to suppress her emotions before it was too late, so how could she care about Gu Liman?

She was roughly dragged over like this, and then sent back at will.

Like goods, and not so important goods, pulled out for exhibition, said to be an exhibition, but in fact it is just a set, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if she is there or not.

"You've seen it all. The empress dowager and the imperial concubine made trouble on purpose, and the empress can't do anything about it." Although after returning to the palace, someone from the queen's side came to comfort her and said, "Forget it, you can concentrate on healing your wounds, wait After the injury is healed, the empress will give you some ideas. It is not suitable to mention your concubine, otherwise the empress dowager and the imperial concubine will definitely object."

After a pause, he continued, "You don't have to envy Concubine Mu. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Empress Dowager did it on purpose, just to make the Gu family lose face. When the Empress Dowager's mood passes, who will care about Concubine Mu's life and death? Concubine Mu is also confused, Does she think it will be good for her to seek refuge with the queen mother? How could the queen mother trust her, a daughter of the Gu family! Even if she does, the queen mother herself does not have a niece, so why should she support an outsider!"

In the end, I came to a conclusion, "Your Majesty knows that the nobleman is in a bad mood, but there is nothing I can do about it. This is how it is in this palace... The nobleman simply has the twelve princes under your empress' knees. Slowly, there will always be a day when the clouds will break through." of."

But when will we be able to wait until that day?

Gu Liman is now wandering between two thoughts: the first one is not to think so much, try to find Gu Su and die with her! The second is to listen to the queen, endure, endure until your own flesh and blood are in charge, and then you won't have to live such a life of humiliation everywhere!

But……

She thought of Empress Dowager Qu, who was Chunjia's biological mother, and she also endured all the way here.

Is Queen Mother Qu not able to bear the burden of humiliation?

Because of the short time in the palace, low status, and no emperor's favor, Gu Liman didn't know much about the relationship between Queen Mother Qu and Queen Mother Yuan. She's heard about it too.

It can be seen that even if the son becomes the emperor, the mother may not be able to do whatever she wants.

There are still people over her head.

There are many, many people now, and there will be Gu Zhen in the future.

When she thought of Gu Zhen, the curtain was violently ripped open, and a strange palace man appeared on the footrest.

Gu Liman was injured, so she didn't react for a while.

The next moment, her mouth was covered and she was dragged outside!

…The story of little Gu nobleman throwing himself into the well the next day spread throughout the Six Palaces, and most people were not surprised: "Who else can bear her grievances? He is also a hard-working person."

"It's because I can't bear the blessing. I have a prince, and the prince is still raised in front of the empress. The future is bright. If it were me, I would endure whatever I say, and wait until the prince grows up to be the master of the family!"

"She is a daughter of the Gu family, and no matter how important she is, she was raised in rich clothes and fine food. Isn't she a big temper? Can you compare? You said it yourself, and you didn't even eat your full meal before entering the palace. After two meals."

"But what's the use of her being dead now? The empress dowager is the one who made the concubine Mu herself. Could it be that the empress dowager will do something to the empress dowager and concubine Mu because of the death of nobleman Gu?"

This is of course impossible. Gu Zhen had never fought against the Queen Mother and the imperial concubine when confronted in the Spring Palace, let alone now.

Moreover, the queen was not as excited as outsiders thought about Gu Liman's death.

She is not without anger, but this kind of anger is mainly aimed at others who stretched their hands into the Cyan Peach Palace, not for Gu Liman's death.

After all, Gu Liman's death was in her interest.

In the future, she can fight for the twelve princes wholeheartedly, and she doesn't need to worry about a queen mother coming out to fight with her.

There is no need to worry about the son who has worked so hard to raise him, and when he turns his head and cries with his biological mother, he feels that the biological mother has been wronged.

Simply breath a sigh of relief.

The queen even felt a lot better.

What she didn't know was that the Empress Dowager Yuan in Spring Palace was also in a good mood: "No trace left?"

"Of course not." Zhan Liu softly reported, "After the queen went back, she was furious. She even sent someone to the Qingtao Palace to appease the little Gu nobleman, but it was the servant who took the initiative to help with the aftermath... Anyway, the army in the middle palace is in chaos, so you can send someone to ask It’s not bad, no one cares about her eyesight. Our people threw her into the well, saw that she was dead, then turned back and made marks, the queen will definitely not be able to find it.”

"That's good." Queen Mother Yuan sneered slightly, "This is what the Ai family wanted to do but was blocked by the old concubine and failed to do it. Now help the queen, the queen should not be too grateful to the Ai family!"

Now everyone thinks that Gu Liman committed suicide, but when the twelve princes grow up in the future...

One day, he will know that his biological mother was killed by his adoptive mother in order to monopolize him.

When the time comes, even Gu Liman's injury, Mu Concubine's canonization, who knows who is responsible for it, is it someone else, or the queen who is thinking of hoping that the soul of the prince's birth mother will return to the underworld as soon as possible?

Empress Dowager Yuan thought about it, and said slowly, "Old Ten's biological mother, let's find an opportunity to arrange it."

The queen has three legitimate sons, the king of Chu and the birth mother of the twelve princes are dead, the ten princes should be neat and tidy too, right?

Otherwise, how would the three princes be able to believe that their biological mothers were killed by the empress in the future?

Who else in such a big palace has the need to prevent the biological mothers of the princes from living?

Zhan Liu had no objection to this, but reminded: "Although the empress is not smart, Mrs. Gu is not confused... The maid feels that the tenth prince and the twelve princes are still young, and Ping can wait until next year or two years later." Let's do it again, lest the time interval is too close to cause Gu's suspicion. At that time, remind the queen, even if she can't find out the truth, she doesn't need the truth, as long as she can explain to the princes in the future."

For example, find a temporary scapegoat or something.

After all, the queen is the one who personally raises the princes.

Coupled with this feeling and certain evidence, it is not that "the queen murdered the prince's birth mother" left by the queen mother can shake the relationship between mother and child.

Empress Dowager Yuan nodded slightly: "You look at the arrangement."

When they were enjoying themselves here, Yun Fenghuang was instructing Chen Jing: "Tell Gu Shao that now is her only chance to stand up. If she misses it, she will only be annihilated in the palace in the future!"

Chen Jing asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"The death of Gu Liman." Yun Fenghuang smiled meaningfully, "The empress is a fool, knowing that Gu Liman died calmly... Isn't this waiting for the twelve princes to grow up and suspect what she is? "

If it was Yun Fenghuang, she would definitely run to the Peach Palace immediately to cry for her sister, and after that, she would carry the corpse to seek justice with the Queen Mother, Concubine Gui, Concubine Mu and even Chunjia!

As for making such a fuss, there will definitely be no results, and maybe there will be some scolding and punishment, that's okay.

Anyway, it is impossible for Chunjia to abolish her position because of this, that's enough.

This is not for a result, but to explain to the twelve princes when they grow up!

After such a commotion, in the future, after the twelve princes know their biological mother, the adoptive mother will be able to pull him uprightly and cry out how she wanted to keep Gu Liman but was powerless when she was not favored back then. Other people's heads, instead of suspecting that her adoptive mother killed her mother and took her son.

Like Gu Zhen, Yun Fenghuang knew what the queen was thinking without asking.

Previously in the Spring Palace, the empress dowager and the imperial concubine jointly crushed her too hard. She felt that Gu Su could be named a concubine on the spot, but it was useless to make a fuss about Gu Liman. Gu Liman's death is also good news for the queen.

Zhonggong is probably still licking his wounds, and has no time to think.

"But everyone who serves in the middle palace may not be confused, and the Gu family outside the palace may also have to give some advice." Yun Fenghuang said, "Let Gu Shao hurry to remind the queen, so that the queen will do it in order to have a helper." Give her a hand."

In this way, she has someone who can be used by the Queen's side, and the next thing will be much more convenient.

As for Gu Shao not agreeing, and even going to sue the queen in turn, Yun Fenghuang is not worried about this situation at all.

"Let this talented person think about it. What does her loyalty mean to the queen? At most, she was moved for a while! Afterwards, she will forget about it. And what does the queen really need? It is a smart, intelligent, She can advise her, help her suppress the Six Palaces, and even suppress the empress dowager's think tank! She betrayed us all at once, and the queen can't do anything to us anyway, and it's impossible to protect her all the time, and we have to take care of it later She is a young talent, she has many ways!"

"If she is obedient and sensible, I will protect her as a concubine! And even if she has no heir in the future, she can adopt a step-heir for her, so that she won't be sent to the palace to die in the future... Even if she is the queen's own cousin, the queen Have this courage and ability? This kind of thing, the promise of this palace, is comparable to the promise of the queen? The queen can't even give them a concubine position! This palace has promoted two good families from poor families to be concubines in a row! "

"And how this palace treats my own people, only depends on how King Qin and Zhaoqing's biological mother are now known!"

She decided to keep Zhao Shi and Yi Shi at the beginning, and it was also for this kind of time to be the archway.

Chen Jing bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, I will do it right away!"

Gu Shao agreed more readily than the master and servant imagined.

The reason is that the Cyan Peach Palace was originally reserved for the three sisters by the empress, and there were no other people there. The three sisters have been together since the day they entered the palace, and they are not familiar with other concubines.

Now Concubine Gu Su Feng moved out to live alone, Gu Liman passed away, and the well where she died is still next door to Gu Shao.

Gu Shao has a bad relationship with this sister. She has been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past two days. She has not considered the issue of being a concubine or heirs. place.

For this reason, she not only went to the queen to remind Gu Liman that the queen should not keep silent about the death of Gu Liman, but also played it freely, saying: "There may be something really wrong with this matter. The concubine could not fall asleep that night, but It seemed to smell something, like calming incense, and it seemed to be a little stronger, and I fell asleep without knowing it. The next morning, I woke up in a daze after the sun was high, and I still felt a headache... At this time , I just heard about the nobleman throwing herself into the well. Madam, if the nobleman threw himself into the well, it’s fine, if not, then... I am worried, because someone with a heart is doing it, trying to harm the empress!"

Gu Zhen was indeed dizzy with anger, and felt that the Queen's job could not be worse.

Therefore, after hearing the news of Gu Liman's suicide, she didn't think much about it, and she didn't even plan to make a fuss... She was exhausted physically and mentally, so she really didn't have the energy.

It can be seen from the left and right, that he didn't dare to say more for a while, thinking about letting the queen take a breather before mentioning it.

Now that Gu Shao said this, the queen is simply...

Suddenly, I felt that Chunjia was really powerful.

How on earth did he endure those many years?

Counting the fact that she has become a queen, it has not been five years yet.

Chunjia endured it for eight full years, and after taking office, she did not show any madness and continued to endure the regent.

Last year, the regent passed away, and he was able to hold back, showing condolences, condolences, and kindness to his two cousins...

Gu Zhen somewhat understood the family's fear of the emperor.

This emperor is really ruthless.

Most of the time she can't do it.

She still has the support of her natal family, so she can't do it either.

"Then what do you think I should do now?" Gu Zhen was at a loss for a while, decided to give up thinking, and asked Gu Shao in a hoarse voice.

Gu Shao lowered her head and knelt on the ground respectfully and respectfully: "My lady, I feel that it is better to act first, no matter whether the nobleman can't think about it or someone else did it, my lady always loves the nobleman. It is necessary to seek justice for her. Let alone whether you can get it, but the empress will definitely not just admit it."

Gu Zhen was silent for a while without speaking, and waved her to leave, looking around.

The servants all persuaded: "Your Majesty, the servant girl thinks what Gu Cairen said is reasonable."

"But it's only for a while." Gu Zhen looked at them and said slowly, "Don't forget, I have three legitimate sons under my knees, King Chu and Twelve's biological mothers are gone. You say, this palace can live day and night. Guard the Ping family, don't let her be murdered?"

Surprised left and right, Gu Zhen already said, "I'm not smart enough, and I don't have a city. When my family sent me to the palace, I never thought that I would be a phoenix. Even if I did, the ancestors of the Gu family never had a queen. It's impossible for the palace to be like the former empress... It's just that this palace is not smart and not good at fighting in the palace, but as the daughter of a general, she grew up on the border since she was a child. The Northern Army is dominated by cavalry, because they will always be passive and beaten if they occupy the city. If they want to keep the frontier from being invaded, they must have the ability to go out and fight..."

"To put it far, in the past two years, because I became the empress and because of the first prince, Yanfu Palace has suffered too many targets and schemes."

"My palace is incompetent. It was the king of Chu first, and then the eighth prince. Most of the biological mothers of the twelve princes died because of this... The most embarrassing thing is that the ins and outs of these things have not been found out yet!"

"You say, will we be able to guard against it in the future? How old are the tenth and twelfth princes? I feel tired now, but in the future... I don't know now, do I still have the strength to support them until they grow up? "

She let out a sigh of relief, "I am tired and bored, and I don't want to continue to fight back and forth with those people! This time, I will put all my eggs in one basket!"

The queen closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she was no longer tired and irritable these days, she was calm and sharp, as if she had returned to the frontier of her youth, she was still the daughter of the Gu family under her father's wings, holding a bow, holding an eagle, and riding a horse Galloping on the original, no distracting thoughts, no fetters, clear goals, so actions can be decisive.

"The loving mother, the empress dowager and the imperial concubine... Either they die, or I die!!!"
