Seeing the Queen Mother's eyes, Xiaoman said that she was upset. Why is it that in other places, it is the mother-in-law who dislikes the daughter-in-law, but when it comes to the Queen Mother, you have changed your target directly.
All of the focus has been shifted to the child. Having said that, the fight between the two families for the child is also a big drama. It seems like it would be nice to follow along, although you have to eat some dog food occasionally.
But generally speaking, it was still more cost-effective than staying in Kyoto. Xiaoman knew exactly what she would face if she stayed in Kyoto. In addition to the occasional summons from the palace.
He also has to face the sour words from other ladies, especially Ren Yu. I think she will definitely not let it go. I just wonder what method Ren Yu will use to get back at him
Speaking of which, Ren Yu was indeed unwilling to accept the fact at this time. No, not at this time, but from the time when he was embarrassed at the banquet, the name Gu Xiangning came to mind.
Instead, it took root in Ren Yu's heart, and something happened at that banquet that no one in the Ren family could accept, which was that the position of prime minister of the Ren family was gone.
Therefore, everyone in the Ren family put the blame on Gu Xiangning, especially after hearing Qian Jiujiu say that the people in their Gu family would always be a couple for the rest of their lives.
How could Ren Yu not be moved! After returning to the Ren family and being silent for so many days, he received news that the Demon General Xiaoman had indeed left Kyoto with the King and his group.
Then the only one left was Gu Xiangning. Thinking of this, Ren Yu immediately asked someone to check what Gu Xiangning was busy with recently.
Knowing that Gu Xiangning was not only busy with court affairs, but was also busy building the Prime Minister's Mansion newly bestowed by the Emperor, Ren Yu went straight to the palace when he thought of this.
She wanted to ask the emperor for help. When Ren Yu entered the palace, Gu Xiangning was discussing something with the emperor when he heard the eunuch come to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Ren Yu from the Ren family is here."
"He said he had something important to discuss with the Emperor."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. What important matter would a minister's daughter come to the emperor for? Gu Xiangning also looked at the emperor curiously.
The emperor glanced at Gu Xiangning. After so many days, the emperor found that Mu Yexiao's eyesight was indeed impeccable. This Gu Xiangning worked very well with him.
When two people do things, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two. The emperor, who has always valued talent, has changed his mind. Perhaps the man in front of him is really more suitable for Xiaoman than him.
He glanced at Gu Xiangning and said, "Do you want to step aside for a while? I'm suddenly interested in meeting her."
Gu Xiangning coughed twice, then turned away. The emperor then looked at the eunuch and said, "Please invite her in. By the way, send someone to ask the queen if she knows about Ren Yu entering the palace."
The young eunuch responded and immediately went to do the job. Ren Yu came in and knelt down directly: "Your servant Ren Yu pays respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor."
The emperor also looked at Ren Yu: "Stand up, you are my cousin, what do you want?"
Ren Yu did not stand up, but looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, cousin, Ren Yu came here today because I want to ask you for help."
Hearing the word "cousin" from the emperor, Ren Yu directly played the family card and called her cousin. The emperor felt amused, thinking that this woman was really good at climbing up the ladder.
"Oh, help? What do you want me to do for you? Come on, I know one thing. The Queen Mother has always wanted to find a young talent for you. Who do you like?"
Listening to the emperor's words, Ren Yu did not refute: "Your Majesty, cousin, you are wise. Yes, Ren Yu has his eyes on Prime Minister Gu Xiangning."
The emperor coughed twice and almost choked: "Who? Gu Xiangning? Hasn't this matter been discussed before? Gu Xiangning and Princess Yongxi are in love with each other."
"And there's no way there's no room for a third party to get in between, so you're still planning on sticking your face in there?"
Ren Yu's face was filled with hatred: "No, cousin, you misunderstood. Ren Yu is not planning to be the third party, but is planning to squeeze Xiao Man out and become Gu Xiangning's only woman."
The emperor was surprised. As expected, these women could be extremely cruel when they became ruthless. The saying "women's hearts are the most vicious" really was not wrong. He touched his nose unconsciously.
"Well, this matter may be a little difficult."
Ren Yu looked at the emperor with a puzzled look on his face: "Difficulty? Cousin, you are the emperor, this country is yours, what you want is not yours? So you don't like Princess Yongxi?"
"The Princess of Yongxi County is also yours, so cousin, can you please let the Princess of Yongxi County enter the palace and give Gu Xiangning to me?"
The emperor's expression changed, and he flew into a rage: "Do you want me to be a villain who goes back on my word?"
Ren Yu, who had already stood up boldly, knelt on the ground again: "No, Your Majesty, listen to me, what if Princess Yongxi herself is willing to enter the palace?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Do you have any way to make Yongxi willing to enter the palace? Tell me about it."
After hearing this, Ren Yu felt more confident. After all, if the emperor fell in love with a woman, how could he let her go so easily
Thinking of this, Ren Yu felt more confident in her plan and looked at the emperor: "Cousin, what Ren Yu is going to say next may be a little shameless."
"But Ren Yu really likes Gu Xiangning. From the first time I saw Gu Xiangning, my heart could no longer accommodate anything else, no matter what method I use."
"As long as I can be with Gu Xiangning, I am willing to go to hell. So please, cousin, help Ren Yu."
When the emperor heard this, he felt something was wrong. Ren Yu was obsessed with Gu Xiangning to the point of going crazy. Is Gu Xiangning so outstanding
Looking at Ren Yu: "After talking for so long, you still haven't told me, how can I help you? Asking me to decree that Gu Xiangning marry you, this is impossible, I can't go back on my word."
Ren Yu shook his head: "No, cousin, I don't want you to go back on your word, but I want you to help me create an opportunity. I know you have an aphrodisiac in your hand."
"Give it to me, and I'll drug Gu Xiangning and prove that we're married. This way, Princess Yongxi will leave Gu Xiangning herself."
"When the time comes, cousin, if you work harder, you will definitely be able to win the beauty."
The emperor was extremely shocked at this moment. This woman was really crazy! You know, even Qian Jiujiu had been affected by this aphrodisiac.
It shouldn't be difficult to use it to deal with Gu Xiangning. What shocked the emperor was that Ren Yu was so obsessed with Gu Xiangning that he wanted to perish together with Gu Xiangning.
He coughed twice and said, "Ren Yu, let me warn you. By then, Gu Xiangning might rather die than have you. It's even more likely that you and him will really become husband and wife."
"But I don't think Gu Xiangning will marry you. He will only kill you to silence you."
Ren Yu bit her lip and said, "No, Gu Xiangning won't do that. He looks like a very responsible person. As long as I become his first woman, I will definitely be his only one."
"Even if he hates me at that time, he won't do anything to me."
The emperor looked at Ren Yu who was so persistent and didn't know what to say. Where did this woman get her confidence from? Wouldn't Gu Xiangning do anything to her
Looking at Ren Yu: "Are you really determined to do this? What if it doesn't work?"
Ren Yu raised his head and looked at the emperor seriously: "If I don't succeed, I will die. If Ren Yu can't be with Gu Xiangning in this life, then Ren Yu would rather die here."
"Cousin Emperor, you also know that Aunt Queen Mother loves me very much. If I die here, you will have a hard time explaining it to Aunt Queen Mother, right? What's more, this matter is not just about me."
"I'm helping you by the way. In this way, you get Princess Yongxi and I get Gu Xiangning. Aren't we all happy?"
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched. Is everyone happy? The emperor thought of Xiaoman's personality. He was afraid that after knowing that Gu Xiangning and Ren Yu were together, he would immediately return to Kyoto.
Killing Gu Xiangning with one blow and then killing all the people in the Ren Mansion without leaving any trace seems more likely! After all, the title of Demon General is not given for nothing.
Where did Ren Yu get his confidence from? Would Gu Xiangning and Xiaoman compromise? They even threatened to die. He suddenly felt that he was a bit of a coward as an emperor.
No one took him seriously. Of course, they were just thinking about it in their hearts. After all, what Ren Yu said made sense. If he died here, he, the emperor, would be in trouble.
The first trouble came from the Queen Mother, his own mother! He sighed and looked at Ren Yu: "Okay, I can give you the medicine, but I won't provide you with the place."
"You figure it out on your own. Don't expect me to do anything else for you. Let's go! If your request is too much, it will only cause you some trouble. You can die here."
Hearing the emperor say this, Ren Yu was happy and stood up: "Thank you, cousin! Then Ren Yu will take his leave first."
After getting the aphrodisiac, Ren Yu left. At this time, the eunuch who answered the question also came and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the queen said that she didn't know that Miss Ren Yu entered the palace."
"Miss Ren Yu has been invited to the palace."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then ignored her and looked at the eunuch: "Go and invite Prime Minister Gu in."
So the young eunuch went to invite Gu Xiangning in. When Gu Xiangning came in, he still had a blank expression on his face, and it was unknown whether he had heard the conversation just now.
Looking at Gu Xiangning: "Weren't you eavesdropping just now?"
Gu Xiangning looked at the emperor with some confusion: "What does your emperor mean by this? Eavesdropping? As a minister, how dare I eavesdrop on your privacy? I am not a treacherous minister."
The emperor was speechless for a moment, but he still kindly reminded Gu Xiangning: "You'd better be careful with Ren Yu recently. After all, when women become ruthless, they are very scary."
Gu Xiangning smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. You did remind me that when Xiaoman gets angry, it is really scary."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. Why did he feel threatened
