Chapter 475 The Commotion Begins

Gu Shaoyu glanced at Shang Zhiping, and saw some calmness and composure in his peaceful eyes. He also knew that Ping'er could say such words, which was considered to be opinionated, so he didn't say much.

As for the rest, when things come up, there will be ways to deal with them.

Du Jingyi was a little worried. No matter what, the Duke Shang Yukuan was also an indelible family affection for this family. His past neglect caused the desolation of Dongyuan, but now that they have grown up, they should not be troubled by the past.

Letting him go is also letting go of those bad memories of the past. After all, the future is what they should focus on.

A meal, eaten happily.

Although the children didn't understand what the adults were saying, they were there, and there was laughter.

After the meal, Xue Niang was reluctant to leave, but now that she was pregnant, she had to be careful, so she reluctantly got on the Guo family's carriage and returned to the Guo Mansion.

The eldest sister-in-law and Ping'er naturally returned to their Lanming Courtyard to have a good rest.

As for the two elders of the Du family, they were reluctant to leave their grandchildren who had just returned, so they rested in the courtyard next door. With Madam Dou and Madam Cai around, they naturally felt comfortable.

After returning to Xitang Courtyard, the couple finally sat down.

Yingtao served the tea they usually liked to drink, and then left. In the main room, only the couple sat, talking about what they had not finished before.

"Now, General, you have time to talk to me, what is the situation of the prince of the previous dynasty?"

Gu Shaoyu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said.

"You are anxious."

"How can you not be anxious about such a big thing? If it weren't for this matter, the court wouldn't be in chaos."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu stopped talking nonsense and told Du Jingyi everything that had happened in the past few months.

"Madam, do you still remember Shang Qilang?"

"Of course, isn't she the son that Madam Wei values ​​the most? She talks about him every day, afraid that others don't know that her son is very talented and has a bright future."

"He is indeed very talented, but his future is not very promising."

Du Jingyi was puzzled. Could it be that he was also involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty?

"He is very thoughtful. He secretly found out that the Wei family had joined the crown prince of the previous dynasty, so he sent a secret letter to the Dingping Marquis Mansion, intending to jointly remove the Wei family from the Fourth Prince, and then put all the things in the past few days on the Wei family, so now they are fighting fiercely."

"But isn't he the grandson of the Wei family? He openly went against the wishes of the Wei family. How can Wei Taiwei let him go?"

"That's why I said it was a dog-eat-dog fight. After I reported this to the crown prince and Prime Minister Guo, our people have been keeping their troops in place. The Wei family and the Dingping Marquis Mansion are now fighting fiercely. The Fourth Prince obviously knows the truth, so he is wholeheartedly standing on the same front with the Dingping Marquis Mansion. You came back at the right time. In the next two days, you can see a big show."

When Du Jingyi heard this, he reacted immediately.

"The fourth prince wants to divorce his wife?"

"Madam is really smart. Guess the reason?"

"The fourth prince still has his eyes on the throne, so it is impossible for him to ruin his reputation. After thinking about it, the reason why he joined hands with his former father-in-law to deal with his current wife's family is probably because of the legitimate son left by the fourth prince's wife. If I guess correctly, the reason why Wei Jialian was divorced is probably because she was jealous and poisoned the legitimate son of the deceased fourth prince's wife."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu took a sip of tea, nodded appreciatively, and then spoke.

"The news sent before dinner said that the fourth prince's mansion went to the palace to ask for the imperial physician, and now everyone is in a panic."

"He knows how to find excuses. If the current princess is accused of poisoning the legitimate son of the former princess, people in the world will only say that he is deeply in love. Even if the Wei family's affairs are exposed in the future, there is no need to worry that he will be implicated."

At this moment, Du Jingyi felt a little sympathy for Wei Jialian.

She was probably somewhat sincere to the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince did not have her in his heart. He married her for the power of the Wei family, and now he divorced her for the betrayal of the Wei family. In the end, the most important thing about her to the Fourth Prince was her status.

Even if she had a child and was pregnant, the result would be the same.

"Poor child, she has become a tool for her parents to fight."

Du Jingyi is now a mother, so she naturally understands the importance of children. Born in such a family, even life can be used to stir up trouble, not to mention being treated sincerely.

Gu Shaoyu knew what she was thinking, so he patted the back of her hand and said.

"Don't think too much. It's their own fault. It has nothing to do with us. If you want to worry, worry about something else."

"What?"

"The imperial physician is taking your majesty's pulse. He is powerless. It will be a matter of a few days."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi suddenly lost her voice for a short time. She came back at the right time. Everything happened. But why did the emperor suddenly become powerless?

Her puzzled eyes met Gu Shaoyu's calm expression. A delusion suddenly rose up, and then she lowered her voice and asked.

"Is it the Queen?"

Gu Shaoyu shook his head, his eyes were calm.

"It's the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Prince's Concubine."

"The Zhao family? How come they are also involved."

"Her grandfather was responsible for refining the elixir, and she was responsible for presenting it. The imperial concubine coaxed His Majesty to eat a lot of it. Now the elixir has a severe backlash, so the poison has entered the five internal organs. Now the matter has not been exposed, but it is just a backup plan left by the queen. She wants to wait for the matter of the fourth prince to make a fuss, and then deal with it together."

Du Jingyi exhaled deeply. She really didn't expect it.

But soon, she went over what Gu Shaoyu had just said in her mind, and somehow she thought of her aunt, Madam Xing, and her sudden arrival and sudden departure before.

The more she thought about it, the more creepy she felt.

Then she held Gu Shaoyu's hand tightly. Although she didn't speak, the fear and suspicion in her eyes were fully revealed. Gu Shaoyu didn't hide it either, and nodded gently to her.

The night was as cold as water. Du Jingyi recalled the few times she had met the queen at this moment, and she was sweating.

Fortunately, she was not the queen's enemy, otherwise she would not know how she died.

Thinking about how my aunt, Mrs. Xing, who was always warm-hearted, would actually be involved in such a meticulous scheme, it really fits the saying.

You can know a person's face but not his heart.
