Chapter 252: Wrath Reappears?

Concubine Shu's attendant, who had already taken a step forward, quickly retreated...

The palace people of Taichu Palace also turned pale with fright, they rushed in immediately to report regardless of Concubine Shu's presence.

After a while, Chunjia, who was in normal clothes, came out with a livid face, without looking at Concubine Shu next to her, she boarded the god's chariot and left in a hurry.

At this time, of course Concubine Shu couldn't tell the wife of Marquis Yongchun what to choose, so she hurriedly got on her chariot and ordered to go with her to Yanfu Palace.

When they arrived, the queen had passed out two or three times.

When Chunjia entered the door, she happened to see the servants supporting Gu Zhen, calling and pinching him repeatedly.

"Didn't you say that Xiao Shi was rescued?" The emperor looked gloomy, glanced at him, and asked softly, "What's going on now?"

The waiter came up to greet him, and carefully explained: "It's because His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince was... rescued from the well!"

Hearing that Chunjia hadn't said anything yet, Concubine Shu, who stepped in with her heels in, couldn't help but let out a small cry, raised her sleeves to cover her face, and there was a hint of shock in her eyes.

"The people who serve Xiao Shi are all dead?" The emperor ignored the turmoil at the empress's side, and went to the couch to look at the ten princes. The child's forehead was wet with strands of sweat or well water. Yes, his eyes were closed tightly, there was still a bit of panic between his brows, and he was falling asleep.

He was proficient in medical science, reached out his hand to feel the pulse, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked the left and right with a cold face, "It's already inappropriate to let the young prince play by the well, let alone let the prince fall into the well?!"

"Returning to Your Majesty, at that time, the third prince was playing with His Royal Highness King Chu and the tenth prince. The three princes wanted to play hide-and-seek and shuttle between the grass and trees. Because the princes were young, the servants were not allowed to follow suit. traces, that's why..."

Chunjia didn't bother to pay attention to these reasons. Royal heirs were born with dignity. From the moment they landed, even if they were unfavorable emperor's heirs, they would be surrounded by a group of people, let alone these children under Zhonggong's knees?

What's more, the tenth prince is still the oldest among Kang Jian's first sons?

If nothing else, this is the future prince!

Therefore, if he didn't take care of it well, he didn't take care of it well, and he didn't want to hear the reason!

Immediately, he directly ordered that the palace servants who served the three princes, who were present at that time, all be sentenced to death! Those who are not present will be punished with sticks and fined with confiscation of salary according to their positions.

At the end, she turned her head and asked Concubine Shu: "You were so surprised just now, but what did you think of?"

Concubine Shu didn't dare to hide anything, she glanced at the queen, and said in a low voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, before... there were some nonsense in the palace... I accidentally listened to it in my spare time, but because it was too ridiculous , so I didn’t take it to heart at all. I just heard that the tenth prince’s accident was because he fell into a well, but it has something to do with that rumor, so I was shocked.”

Chunjia asked: "What is a rumor? But what does it have to do with the accident of the Tenth Prince?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu bit her lip, feeling very embarrassed, but seeing that the emperor's face was not very good-looking, she didn't dare to procrastinate, so she braced herself, faced the gaze of the waiter in the middle palace, and said quickly, "A while ago A few days ago, Gu Cairen's master and servant died tragically in the side hall of Yanfu Palace. Some ignorant palace people once discussed in private, saying that this...this thing was not done by humans! It was...it was done by the birth mother of the Twelfth Prince! The birth mother of the man and the twelve princes... both died in the well! So..."

Although she didn't mention a series of speculations in the rumors targeting the queen, Chunjia just turned her head, and Yan Yin immediately stepped forward to describe the ins and outs in detail, so she knew.

The emperor's complexion was not very good at first, but now it became more and more cloudy.

After ordering Yan Yin to stay in front of the Tenth Prince and wait on him, he went out and ordered the Queen to follow.

Gu Zhen was about to be helped into the warm pavilion, and only when the others went out, she collapsed, prostrated herself on the pole, and sobbed, "I... I'm sorry, Your Majesty!!!"

She really didn't have anything to say this time... After all, Chunjia had three sons-in-law, and now one counts as one, and if everything goes wrong, none of them will be peaceful!

When the king of Chu had an accident, the queen could still be angry, wronged, and blame the emperor. Now... now she really doesn't know what to say?

"Did you know when Gu Cairen's rumors came out?" Chunjia looked at her, and didn't even bother to blame her. He thought helplessly, such an incompetent queen, she is a bit of a waste, but at least she won't be right Whatever hindrance the new ruler of the future causes, that is.

As for the troubles caused by it...

He is still young, so he can't say, so let's do it by ourselves.

Anyway, there must never be another Ji family in Guochao.

"...I know." Gu Zhen choked up, "I... I even sent someone to investigate at the time, but it seems that the palace servants themselves broke the news!"

The emperor sighed, and said: "Whether it's the palace people breaking their mouths, or someone instigated...Since something like this happened, you didn't clean up the palace from top to bottom?"

It's okay if he didn't say that, but once he said that, Gu Zhen felt even more sad: "Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine... the concubine has been cleaned up."

The purpose of the previous palace search was to find out the real culprit who "murdered the imperial concubine". In fact, it was Gu Zhen's purging to take advantage of the situation.

This is also the residence of other principals.

As for Yanfu Palace, the matter of Gu Cairen's master and servant is so terrible, and the queen is not a dead person, how could he remain indifferent? After that, it was cleaned up inside and out... But who knows, there are still omissions?

Right now, Gu Zhen himself doubts that he is not qualified to be a queen.

That's why she cried: "Your Majesty, my concubine is incompetent, and she is in the back seat. She can neither honor the elders of the clan, nor share the worries of Your Majesty, nor take good care of the emperor's heirs... It's better for Your Majesty to choose another virtuous person from the Gu family. Concubine, please retire to the palace!"

These words made Chun Jia feel a little sympathetic, it was the kind of sympathy that a gifted person with outstanding academic performance would have for a scumbag who could not study hard no matter how hard he worked: "The queen thinks, who can secure the position of the master of the sixth house in the Gu family?"

I believe, empress, your words of repentance are sincere... You really feel that you are not good, that you are not worthy of the position of empress, and that you cannot help me or protect the heirs of the emperor...

But the problem is, your Gu family is famous for having no successors, okay?

The lack of successors doesn't just mean that the male heirs of your family are mediocre, and the girls of your family don't say they are particularly outstanding...

Otherwise, you are confused, is your old man stupid?

At the beginning, you will give the position of successor to you, a illegitimate granddaughter, but not to a capable child in the family, even a concubine?

As for asking Gu Zhen to step down and replace her with a capable woman from another family as queen, Gu Zhen is not so confused yet.

After all, she didn't get this position by herself, it was paid by Gu's.

She is just holding it on behalf of Gu Shi, if she retires to the palace, it's fine to give it to other women of Gu Shi, let it go to outsiders... How could Gu Shi agree?

It is impossible for her to do such a thing that harms the interests of the whole family.

"Tell me what happened." Looking at her in agony, Chunjia felt tired, and asked, pinching her brows, "It is said that Xiao Shi fell into the well while playing with the third child and the king of Chu? Taking care of their palace?" Are all people dead? The princes play in places where the wells are locked or filled?"

Gu Zhen cried and said: "I just asked the people below, and said that the well was originally just an abandoned well, which had been filled long ago... It was only as deep as an adult's waist, and there were many weeds growing in it. It doesn't matter, I didn't take it seriously. But I don't know when it was dug open quietly, and a half-foot-deep well water was accumulated in it! If it wasn't for Bing'er's prudence and cleverness, who found out that Xiao Ten was wrong in time, I'm afraid Xiao Shi At once……"

Chunjia frowned slightly, and said, "Many servants in the palace didn't find out, how did the third one find out?"

"It's like this, my concubine has been telling Bing'er to look at Little Ten." Seeing that he was suspicious of the third prince, Gu Zhen quickly explained, "So when the children play together, even if Bing'er doesn't enjoy himself, he can He will take care of Xiao Shi in everything... This time, after Xiao Shi got into the bushes, Bing Er immediately followed in. Bing Er had hid in that well before, and seeing Xiao Ten hiding in there, he thought it was nothing For the matter, I just found a place nearby to hide it, and waited for the King of Chu to find it..."

In the end, the foolish king of Chu didn't find his brothers in a daze. The third prince first found out that something was wrong with the tenth prince. After running over to see that there was water inside, he hurriedly went out and called for someone, which saved the tenth prince.

Chunjia said lightly: "If this is the case, there is something wrong. After all, people falling into the grass is different from people falling into a well. Since the third child is following Xiao Shi closely, he should be aware of it immediately. Why did it take so long to go to see it? Moreover, the king of Chu hadn’t found them at that time, and the two of them were well hidden. Why did he suddenly go to the mouth of the well to look? He said he found something wrong. You can ask clearly, what is it? something wrong?"

The queen was tongue-tied and murmured for a moment: "This...it's impossible! Bing'er has always been obedient and obedient, he...why did he want to kill Xiao Shi?!"

"I'm not saying that the third child harmed the tenth child." Chunjia always disliked twins, which was recognized by the previous dynasties and harem, but at this moment, he said, "The third child is not like the king of Chu and the tenth child. They all remember the title of the son-in-law, and the daily treatment and status are naturally different from him! It is common for children to be ignorant and jealous. Maybe he noticed the clues but deliberately didn't say anything, but in the end he might be afraid of the punishment after the failure. Maybe he couldn't bear to remember that they were his siblings, so he went to call someone... It's not impossible."

Seeing that Gu Zhen still had a difficult face to accept, knowing that she had always regarded the third prince as her own, and even because this prince was not favored by the emperor, Gu Zhen showed more compassion to Gongxiang Bing than other children. Among the heirs under her knees, she is the most favored by the queen. But Gongxiang Bingping has always been gentle and obedient, but he couldn't admit such a child for a while, and he had other thoughts under her nose.

Still call her creepy mind!

Chunjia didn't have the time to wait for the queen to gradually recover, so she just said lightly: "Anyway, let's call the third child over and ask. What does the occasional accident in the Zhonggong residence look like? If this continues, it will not only be haunted by Yanfu Palace." If the matter is to be mistaken for the truth, I am afraid that even the rumors about Queen Kezi will be confirmed!"

Gu Zhen was shocked when he heard the words behind him!

He raised his head suddenly and looked at the emperor.

But Chunjia was also looking at her, her expression was not angry or disappointed, but calm.
