My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 435: Being Involved

But for many years, she has been a very good observer of people in the palace, so from these few words, the imperial concubine could guess part of it.

It seemed that Gu Shaoyu's trip to Dingyou was just a cover, and he was secretly searching for something with His Majesty's secret purpose.

Mr. Xing?

River transport?

Could it be that the emperor wanted to shake up the aristocratic families in Jinling City, so he started with river transportation?

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine's face didn't look very good.

They didn't know that the prince and Prime Minister Guo had already arranged this incident because of their anger with the emperor, so at this moment they looked like clowns, but the prince and Prime Minister Guo were laughing at it.

The imperial concubine could still be more restrained, but the fourth prince showed hatred in his eyes and spoke angrily.

"Xiang Guo is indeed the humerus of our Daxing Dynasty. Everything is under your control."

After hearing these words, Guo Xiang looked back at the Fourth Prince calmly, without any hint of arrogance, and spoke completely from the bottom of his heart.

"The fourth prince is ridiculous. I am born as a Daxing man and die as a Daxing ghost. No matter where your majesty's sword is, I have to share your majesty's worries even if I am very angry!"

The emperor felt a little emotional when he saw that despite his age, he could still say this.

After all, he was the teacher who watched him grow up, and he was also the father-in-law. The court had been as stable as a mountain for so many years, and it was also due to Guo Xiangkuang's support, so he scolded the fourth prince.

"You can question Mr. Guo casually? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Guo!"

The emperor's current temper was really lightning and thunderous, and he could change his temper in an instant, so the fourth prince and the noble concubine were frightened, but due to the current situation, the fourth prince had to bow his head.

"Xiang Guo, I made a mistake at the moment, please forgive me."

"The fourth prince has betrayed the old minister, so he doesn't dare."

At this point, no matter how stupid the fourth prince is, he knows that this box of things cannot convict Gu Shaoyu, let alone implicate the prince, so his attitude is much gloomier than the proud one just now, but he can't do it in front of the emperor. Just dare to show more.

The prince did not miss this opportunity and said in pursuit of victory.

"Since the fourth brother has seized the things from the seventh house, he has done a great job. I wonder where is the person from the seventh house of the Gu family who delivered the goods to the north?"

"In the prison of the Criminal Department, after discovering this thing last night, in order to prevent the person from escaping, he was sent to the prison early. Prince, don't worry."

"That's good. If it's true as Shaoyu reported, then this person is still key."

It didn't matter, the fourth prince couldn't get a word in at this moment.

He was right to capture the person, but his intention to use this person to frame the prince was too obvious at the beginning. The emperor was so angry that he didn't think clearly about it before, but now he understood it.

He snorted coldly and then said.

"The prince and Prime Minister Guo should take full responsibility for this matter. Send a letter to Shao Yu and Xing Yunshi to tell them that not a single moth will be left behind!"

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the emperor glanced at the imperial concubine and said impatiently.

"Go back to the imperial study!"

"yes."

Eunuch Liu waited on the emperor and left quickly. He was very affectionate with the imperial concubine last night, but today he was like an enemy about to fall out. Such an attitude also greatly ruined the imperial concubine's face.

So after the emperor left, the prince and Prime Minister Guo were about to leave, but the imperial concubine kept them silent.

"The prince is very capable. Not only was he born into such great wealth, but also with the support of Prime Minister Guo and General Gu, it seems that he will have a bright future for the Daxing Dynasty in the future."

The use of "Boundless Futures" here is naturally somewhat inappropriate.

However, since the imperial concubine was not originally from a noble family, it was not a big deal if she said the wrong thing. The prince's current age and temperament were not something that the imperial concubine could easily provoke, so she said it with a slight smile.

"Isn't the same true for the noble concubine? Everyone in the harem is envious of my father's favor. Your future is destined to be bright."

The prince gave the same words to the imperial concubine, and then left with Guo Xiang without any more nonsense with her.

After they all left, the fourth prince looked at the cloths and wished he could go forward and tear them up immediately.

"Xiaosi, don't be too impatient. This failure does not mean that we will always be dwarfed. You can go back and discuss it with the Taiwei and Zuo Shilang to see if there is any other way out of this matter."

"What do you mean, concubine mother?"

"I estimate that there is going to be a big move in Jinling City. Since they are going to pull out all the stops, they will naturally have to free up a lot of positions. If we make arrangements in advance, can't we also achieve our goals?"

After hearing the imperial concubine's explanation, the fourth prince suddenly understood and immediately clasped his fists and said.

"My mother and concubine are still smart. I will leave the palace now!"

Everyone left Yanqing Palace one after another, and the imperial concubine relaxed her straight back and breathed a long sigh of relief, her eyes full of worry for her son.

I don't know if this road can be taken. The prince and Prime Minister Guo are indeed much better than them.

She was still worried here, but Queen Guo in the Changchun Palace felt a lot more relieved after hearing the whole news. She glanced at Eunuch Hu next to her and said.

"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, wouldn't I be impulsive?"

"Your Majesty, care will lead to chaos, but the abilities of His Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo are obvious to everyone in the world, and General Gu is not an easy person, and he will not be easily framed by them."

She nodded, and thought it made sense.

"In one month, it will be the anniversary of my godmother's death. I think the couple will be back soon. Let's prepare some gifts in advance. The good thing of giving birth to three sons in one pregnancy cannot be passed so easily. This palace must see it in person."

The queen's words, to put it bluntly, are to give Du Jingyi dignity.

Although it was in the name of giving birth to a son, Eunuch Hu also heard that it seems that this Madam Gu's imperial status will be promoted to another level.

She was originally a second-class county lady, and I am afraid that she will be promoted to a first-class country lady after returning. I just don't know whether the wife will be honored by the husband or the mother will be honored by the son.

When the palace was in a state of ice and fire, the news was also sent to Jinling City at an urgent speed of 800 miles under the special instruction of Prime Minister Guo.

At this moment, Jinling City has just started to feel a little cold, so most people still wear autumn clothes.

Du Jingyi brought the women in the family and began to prepare for the "small auspicious ceremony" for Mrs. Gu.

The Gu family was very polite in this regard, and with the help of the eldest aunt, Du Jingyi didn't have to think too much and just did everything as instructed.

Just as everyone in the Gu family was busy with this matter, they heard that there was a commotion outside again.
