Chapter 382: Hiding the Truth (Additional Chapters with Xiaoxiang Tickets)

Although Mrs. Xing also understood her past relationship with Mr. Gu, there were some things that only she and Mrs. Gu knew, so Mrs. Gu's departure was equivalent to taking away all her thoughts.

Suddenly, seeing everything become a thing of the past, how can you not feel sad?

So the pain in her heart was no less than that of Gu Shaoyu! He still had a chance to go to the funeral, but he couldn't even leave the palace, let alone go south.

Thinking of this, Queen Guo cried profusely until her eyes were red and swollen, then she stopped. Then she wiped her tears and returned to her appearance as the empress of the Sixth Palace.

The majesty of the whole person is still there, but inside it is empty.

Guo Xiang felt distressed after seeing this, but there was nothing he could do to help his daughter recover. He only hoped that time would be a good medicine and soothe the pain in her heart, just like when the news came that all the Gu family members had died in the war, she I also cried with such grief once.

And then, isn’t it still fine?

Poor Prime Minister Guo can see everyone accurately in the court, but he only doesn't know his own daughter very well.

I thought she would be able to recover as before, but I didn't know that some people were injured, and if they fell together, it would be the last straw that broke their backs. To outsiders, it seemed ridiculously light, but to that person, it was as heavy as a mountain.

At this moment, she was still immersed in the pain of Mrs. Gu's departure. Although there were no tears, her eyes were very empty.

"Mother, don't be sad. Sooner or later this person will get old. When Mrs. Gu was alive, she enjoyed all kinds of wealth. Although she had some unpleasant experiences, she also saw her great-grandson when she left. After our birth, I know that the Gu family will be fine in the future and there will be no regrets, so you should be considerate. "

After hearing this, Queen Guo also sighed, her eyes were astringent but she said meaningfully.

"What my father said is that sooner or later you will have to go through this. It doesn't necessarily happen when you are old. It happens to everyone."

When she said this, there was a desperate calmness in her whole body.

Prime Minister Guo didn't know how to describe it, as if the daughter was just a shell and had no soul. Then he took a few steps closer and asked in a lowered voice.

"What is your Majesty hiding from us?"

"Father, you are too worried. What can I hide from you?"

Empress Guo obviously didn't want to say that the plan to reach this point was just a matter of finality. When the emperor died was not decided by the Prince of Hell, but by her, the "person next to her".

But since she had already arranged such matters, there was no need to use the power of her family, so she did not intend to tell Guo Xiang.

Seeing this, Guo Xiang became more and more sure of what he was thinking. The Queen must be hiding something from them, and then he said in a more serious tone.

"Empress, now that Shao Yu is not in the city, the Tiger Guard Army is leaderless. Although he explained everything when he left, it is hard to say that anything will go wrong. The Fourth Prince and his group are watching eagerly. They must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so the Tiger Guard Army Those people went to Jinling City to give Shao Yu a guarantee that if anything goes wrong, the prince will have a place to make a comeback in the future. "

It had only been a few decades since the founding of the Daxing Dynasty, and Prime Minister Guo had experienced it all, so he had no deep-rooted thoughts about Sui'an City as a place to stay.

For this water master, it is just an excuse to thoroughly investigate the sea and canal transportation and tax matters. What is more important is to let Gu Shaoyu establish himself in Jinling City. If something goes wrong, they only need to go south.

In his heart, he felt that Jinling City was much better than Sui'an City. It wouldn't be a big deal if he established a new king in the capital. Anyway, in these troubled times, everything can be done, right?

But after he spoke his true thoughts so easily, Queen Guo didn't take it seriously.

"Don't worry, father. You don't have to make so many excuses. Once the prince ascends the throne, everything will fall into place."

"Ascension to the throne? What does the empress mean..."

"Your Majesty has taken a lot of pills these days, and he is not afraid to let his father know that he used to be a man of great strength, but now he is already in his twilight years. Speaking of it, he is not even half as energetic as his father. People outside are speculating. Your Majesty's health is not in good condition. It's not that it's bad, it's just that there's absolutely no room for improvement. It's just a matter of time, so please take it easy in advance. There's really no need to rush at this moment."

The calmness and determination in her tone made Guo Xiangsheng feel a little uneasy.

Is it possible that the emperor, in such a situation, would have his own daughter's handiwork?

He followed the founding emperor and established the dynasty, and had never seen anything before, so he didn't think regicide was a terrible thing. It was just that there were too many things to plan, and if he made a slight mistake, the whole thing might be revealed. Try to do everything possible. All in vain.

That's why he felt a little scared.

With such a relationship like theirs, they haven't discovered the Queen's behavior yet, let alone other people. Therefore, thinking about it, I started to feel horrified.

The father and daughter looked at each other and didn't understand much.

Guo Xiang will not be easily taken advantage of, and the Queen, who inherited Guo Xiang's cautious temperament, will naturally be the same.

So although she didn't tell her father the plan like she told Mrs. Gu, she still asked as a reminder.

"I think the timing is right now. If His Majesty has any mishap, the prince can ascend the throne smoothly. Why bother thinking about those things? Let Shao Yu rest assured to mourn the old lady. As for your other plans, you can postpone them. They may not be used."

"Has your majesty completely grasped it?"

Queen Guo nodded calmly when she heard it, as if they were not discussing the emperor's life, but a trivial matter.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Guo didn't know how to express his attitude. After a moment of silence, he said to Queen Guo.

"What your majesty said is not unreasonable, but Shao Yu's trip to the south this time is also a rare opportunity. Although the old minister had planned other things before, he did have the intention to rectify the taxation. So if you have a way, just delay it for a while. These 50,000 Tiger Guards and Shao Yu can also clear more obstacles for the prince to ascend the throne."

Hearing this, Queen Guo reluctantly agreed.

If the emperor wants to wake up, it is not difficult. He just needs to stop taking the pills for a few days, or add some refreshing things to the pills.

And all of these are naturally blamed on the seventh prince's wife and her family.
