This is the first time Gu Jiao has heard of such a thing. Her rumors about the late emperor and her aunt mainly come from Princess Rui, but most of the things that Princess Rui mentions are related to Princess Jing. For example, Princess Jing has a heart. Is willing to move into the nunnery and so on.
What Princess Rui said was not necessarily the truth, at least the fact that she willingly entered the nunnery was false.
Eunuch Qin had already refuted Gu Jiao's rumor, and it was Empress Dowager Zhuang who ordered her to go to the nunnery.
Why didn't Empress Dowager Zhuang directly order to kill Concubine Jing? Gu Jiao once thought that the key factor was the emperor. If her aunt clearly issued the decree, the emperor would not hesitate to tear up her face and issue the imperial decree to block her; Shadow guard blocked.
However, if what Gu Chengfeng said was true, and Concubine Jing burned an imperial decree for her aunt to kill her back then, that aunt owed her a life-saving grace.
But Gu Jiao thinks this is unlikely.
Concubine Jing has already given medicine to her aunt and the emperor. Would she be so kind to burn the imperial edict for her aunt
Of course, there is also a possibility that the imperial decree for the aunt's burial was indeed not burned by Princess Jing, but was held in her hand as a handle.
Before she got the imperial decree, my aunt couldn't let Concubine Jing die, otherwise, no one could guarantee whether Concubine Jing would stay behind - as soon as she died, the imperial edict would be released in broad daylight.
But soon, this possibility was also ruled out by Gu Jiao.
Concubine Jing deliberately dealt with her aunt. With this imperial decree, she could directly put her aunt into the eighteenth hell. Why keep it as a handle? Isn't it superfluous
Assuming what Gu Chengfeng said was true, Concubine Jing did risk her life to steal the imperial decree and burn it, but who has seen the content of the imperial decree
Didn't she just say it with her mouth
As long as it doesn't involve interpersonal relationships and love, Gu Jiao's mind is spinning fast.
Don't look at her thinking so much, it's actually just a moment's effort.
Gu Chengfeng had already pulled out the imperial decree from the box, he put the box on his arms and held it up, spreading out the imperial decree with both hands.
However, just as he opened the imperial edict, Concubine Jing suddenly came back, and she noticed a movement in the corridor.
Unlike Long Yingwei, she is very sensitive to the sound of conversation.
"Who!" she asked sharply.
Gu Chengfeng shook his hand, and the box in his arms fell to the ground, making a crisp sound!
"catch him!"
Following the order of Concubine Jing, Long Yingwei rushed in and grabbed Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao with his bare hands.
"Come on!" Gu Chengfeng grabbed Gu Jiao with one hand and put the imperial decree into his arms with the other.
Seeing that Long Yingwei's hand was about to grab the two of them, Gu Jiao hurriedly took out a black powder from her purse and smashed it at each other!
Long Yingwei had suffered from the black powder and knew that it was a hidden weapon that could not be hard-wired, so he hurriedly turned to avoid it. The black powder smashed on the table behind him and exploded the table with a bang!
And taking advantage of this effort, Gu Chengfeng grabbed Gu Jiao and swept out of the nunnery.
Both of them wore masks and changed their clothes, and Concubine Jing couldn't recognize their appearance.
When Concubine Jing entered the room, she saw that the imperial edict was gone.
Her face changed greatly, and she said to Long Yingwei: "Take the imperial decree back!"
Long Yingwei got the order and chased in the direction where Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng left.
Long Yingwei was invincible in both martial arts and light skills, and he quickly caught up with the two of them.
When Gu Chengfeng was carrying the imperial decree, Long Yingwei saw it. He knew that the imperial decree was on Gu Chengfeng's body, so he clasped Gu Chengfeng's shoulder without a word.
The eagle's claw-like hand slammed into Gu Chengfeng's flesh and blood, and Gu Chengfeng's face was twisted into a ball in pain. He did not resist immediately, but pushed Gu Jiao away with all his strength!
The moment he pushed it away, he stuffed the imperial edict into Gu Jiao's sleeve.
He was probably the only one who could do this kind of manipulation under Long Yingwei's eyes. Long Yingwei didn't realize that the imperial decree had been transferred, and he stretched out his other hand to reach Gu Chengfeng's chest.
He was a dead man, and he didn't know the severity of his attack. This time, he was afraid that Gu Chengfeng's chest would be cut open.
Gu Jiao looked back at the two of them, and suddenly took out the imperial edict: "The imperial edict is here!"
Long Yingwei's eyes turned towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao suddenly threw the imperial decree in the other direction of the palace.
The order Long Yingwei got was to take back the imperial decree, so he chased after the imperial decree.
Gu Chengfeng covered his shoulders and knelt on the ground with no strength.
Gu Jiao squatted down: "Can you still walk?"
Gu Chengfeng shook his head with a pale face: "Light work can't work anymore..."
Long Yingwei is too terrifying, obviously he just grabbed him casually, and his whole body's skills could not be used in an instant.
"Go away." He said, resisting the weakness and pain all over his body.
The imperial decree is too important, and it was only when the imperial concubine Jing was in a panic that she could only take the imperial decree.
Gu Jiao grabbed him: "Follow me!"
Long Yingwei found the imperial decree and gave it to Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing took the imperial edict, her expression froze.
"Emperor Concubine!" Grandma Cai hurried over and looked at the imperial decree in her hand, her expression changed, "Someone came to steal the imperial decree? Who is it? How do you know this imperial decree?"
Concubine Jing looked in the direction of the palace wall, but did not speak.
Renshou Palace.
Eunuch Qin was feeding a pool of sons and daughters that he raised when suddenly two figures fell from the sky and hit his son-in-law.
"Oh! The king of the miscellaneous family!"
Eunuch Qin was shocked, and the vegetable leaves in his hand flew out.
He was about to call in the master of the big inner circle, when he saw one of the small figures taking off the mask on his face, his eyes glared: "Miss Gu?"
At this moment, the mask on Gu Chengfeng's face also fell off, revealing a pale handsome face.
Eunuch Qin was shocked again: "Second Master Gu?"
"Your Majesty is here—"
Gu Jiao: What a quick move!
When Empress Dowager Zhuang was away, she went to the side hall of Jinluan Palace to discuss matters with the minister. Eunuch Qin brought Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng into Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom.
Afterwards, Eunuch Qin went to meet the emperor outside the Renshou Palace: "The servant greets His Majesty."
Next to the emperor was Cai mama.
Eunuch Qin glanced at Madam Cai calmly, and said with a smile, "Why is Your Majesty here? The Queen Mother is discussing matters with the minister in the Golden Palace."
The emperor said: "Mother Cai said that the assassin was assassinating Concubine Jing. She was injured by the masters around Concubine Jing and fled all the way into Renshou Palace."
"Is there such a thing?" Eunuch Qin was surprised, "Is the concubine injured?"
Madam Cai said politely: "The concubine was a little frightened, but it's not a big problem. The concubine was worried that the assassin would be detrimental to the queen mother, so she quickly reported to your majesty."
"The slave didn't see any assassins." Qin Gonggong turned his head to look at the uterus in the first courtyard, "Have you seen the assassins?"
The palace people all shook their heads: "No."
Eunuch Qin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mama Cai must have misunderstood. This is the Renshou Palace, and the masters are like clouds. Which assassin dares to break into it recklessly?"
Mama Cai said with a worried look on her face: "The assassin's martial skills are extremely high, and he was able to escape from Long Yingwei's hands. Eunuch Qin should not be careless."
If in the past, the emperor was too lazy to take care of Empress Dowager Zhuang's life and death, but now he and Empress Dowager Zhuang are allied, they have a common enemy, that person hides in the dark, grabs his neck to deal with the person he cares about, he can't Let the opponent succeed.
"Get out of the way!" the emperor said coldly.
Eunuch Qin didn't let her go. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is not in Renshou Palace. If the assassin really wants to assassinate her, he should go to the Golden Palace."
Madam Cai changed her previous worry and modesty, frowned, and said, "Perhaps the assassin is in ambush here, wait for the queen mother to come back before attacking! Eunuch Qin, you're stopping your majesty from searching, could it be... you and Assassins are a gang!"
"Who gave you the courage to yell in front of Ai's house?"
With a voice that was not angry and mighty, Queen Mother Zhuang's Feng Huo appeared behind everyone.
Everyone turned around and bowed to Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was above Feng Cha.
The emperor looked at Fengzhao from a distance, with a worried expression.
Feng Zhuo stopped in front of the group, and after landing, Eunuch Qin stepped forward and handed his wrist to Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang held his wrist and walked out slowly. She didn't need a loud voice or harsh words, just a faint look was enough to shock everyone's minds.
Just now, Madam Cai, who was backed by the emperor, suddenly didn't dare to say a word.
Empress Dowager Zhuang walked in front of her in a leisurely manner: "Say it, why didn't you say it? When Aijia was away, you were not very eloquent? Why did you become a gourd with a sawed mouth when Aijia came?"
Mama Cai bowed her head aggrievedly and stood beside the emperor.
In the end, it was Concubine Jing's confidant, and the emperor couldn't bear her injustice, so he said, "What's wrong with Mama Cai? There are assassins who naturally want to search, but this old servant obstructs her in every possible way, which is indeed suspicious."
Eunuch Qin reported to Empress Zhuang: "Girl Gu is resting inside, and the servants are worried that so many people will disturb Miss Gu and stop them. Besides, the servants did not find any assassins. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can ask the inner circle of Renshou Palace. Master, they didn't—"
Before Eunuch Qin finished speaking, there was a sound of weapons connecting with each other from the direction of the dormitory, and everyone froze, followed by Gu Jiao's cold drink: "I still want to escape!"
"Yeah! Miss Gu!" Eunuch Qin's expression changed greatly, and he greeted the master of Renshou Palace, "Quick! Come and have a look!"
The four great masters turned around and ran towards the dormitory, but before they could be dispatched completely, there was another miserable cry at the end: "Ah—"
It's a man's voice!
Eunuch Wei opened his arms and stopped in front of the emperor: "Assassin! There are assassins! Escort!"
Just when the masters of Huaqing Palace were about to be dispatched, Gu Jiao grabbed a disgraced black-clothed assassin and walked out, threw the assassin to the ground, and said in a low voice, "Assassin, here!"
Gu Jiao had already changed back to her clothes, her hair was loose, as if she had just woken up from the bed and had no time to comb her hair.
Mama Cai looked at the assassin a little confused.
Did the concubine really guess it? Is the assassin from Renshou Palace
But—isn't it two
Mother Cai glanced suspiciously at Gu Jiao: "Miss Gu, there are two assassins in total."
"Two? I only caught one." Gu Jiao said without changing her face, holding her arms in her arms.
The assassin's face was full of mud and dirt, and he couldn't see the original appearance, but blood dripped from the corners of his mouth. He must have been seriously injured and had no power to fight back.
The emperor looked at him coldly: "Who sent you here? If you say that you are the mastermind behind you, I will spare you! I am the Supreme Being of Ninety-five, and I will never break my promise!"
There was a hint of hesitation on the face of the assassin, his frightened eyes swept across the crowd outside Renshou Palace, and finally landed on the face of Mama Cai.
A layer of ominous premonition suddenly surged up in Mama Cai's heart!
The assassin looked at Mama Cai in horror and said, "Yes... it's quiet..."
"Shut up!" Mama Cai stepped forward. She seemed to guess what the assassin was going to say. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
The assassin was half lying on the ground, propped himself up with his elbows, gritted his teeth and said, "It's Concubine Jing! Concubine Jing asked me to assassinate the Queen Mother!"
Mama Cai was stunned!
How could this be
How did the assassin catch the head of his mother-in-law!
She panicked and said, "You sprayed with blood! When did the concubine ask you to assassinate the queen dowager? If the concubine really asked you to come, why did she tell me to search you?"
The assassin coughed a mouthful of blood and said with a sneer, "How do I know? Maybe... It was the Empress Dowager who suddenly found out that I knew her secret—"
The assassin's words were only halfway through, when Cai Mama suddenly rushed over and stabbed into the assassin's heart!
"You... you kill... Silence..."
After the assassin said this, he rolled his eyes, leaned forward, and fell into a pool of blood.
Madam Cai stepped back several steps in shock and fell straight to the ground.
"I...I didn't...not I...I didn't kill..."
She really didn't want to kill anyone.
She didn't pounce on her own at all. It was as if her knee was hit by something. As soon as her leg softened, she pounced on the opponent. Before she could realize what was going on, she had a knife in her hand.
Then the knife plunged into the other's heart.
Gu Jiao squatted down, probed the assassin's neck with her fingertips, got up and said, "He's out of breath."
Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned and said, "Why don't you get rid of it quickly? Clean the door for Ai's family! Don't leave a drop of blood! Ai's family hates the smell of blood!"
"Yes yes yes!" Eunuch Qin hurriedly called the eunuch of Renshou Palace to carry the assassin's body down for disposal, and called the palace maid to clean up the scene.
Madam Cai was confused by this series of events. She had never seen such a shameless operation. She was so confused that she couldn't think at all, so she could only argue for herself: "Your Majesty... I No killing...you believe me...that knife is not mine..."
Gu Jiao said, "I've seen it all, who's not yours?"
Wei Gonggong said: "Yes! Whose is not yours? I saw it too!"
Mama Cai hit her with a cold gaze, her surname is Wei! Have you forgotten where you are!
Eunuch Wei shrank his neck, turned around and slapped himself in the mouth, again! Mouth again!
Madam Cai threw herself on her knees: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you should believe the Empress Dowager! How could she frame the Empress Dowager—the Empress Dowager is kind-hearted, she wouldn't do such a thing—"
A trace of complexity passed through the emperor's heart.
He and Concubine Jing grew up together. He knew very well what kind of person Concubine Jing was. She was reluctant to step on an ant and always repaid her grievances with virtue. Even if Empress Dowager Zhuang expelled her from the palace, she was never in him I complained about the second half of Mrs. Zhuang in front of me.
Not only that, but she always persuaded her to reconcile her relationship with Empress Dowager Zhuang.
How could she do such a terrible thing
Moreover, no one let the assassin come to stab with the front foot, and the back foot caught the assassin with great fanfare.
According to the assassin, it was he who had mastered the secret of Princess Jing, who suddenly realized it after she sent him out to assassinate.
This is even more ridiculous.
How could a person as simple as a blank sheet of paper, Concubine Jing, have secrets
No, she had a secret.
The secret with Gu Chao.
The emperor's heart suddenly became restless.
Thinking that Gu Chao almost became a father to himself, he was very angry!
I don't know if he was angry or not, but when he saw Mama Cai suddenly, it was a bit of an eyesore.
"Your Majesty..." Mama Cai looked at the emperor anxiously.
The emperor frowned: "Take Madam Cai down... Interrogation is clear!"
He used the three words of distrust and interrogation. You must know that the emperor used to obey Concubine Jing without the slightest suspicion. Even Concubine Jing's confidant was regarded by him as his confidant.
But now, he actually wants to treat Mama Cai as a suspect.
Eunuch Wei was shocked: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor ignored anyone, flung his sleeves, and left in a irritable mood!
Empress Dowager Zhuang and Gu Jiao returned to the bedroom.
In the backyard of the dormitory, the corpse that should have been disposed of sat up, wiped off the mud on his face, took off the blood bag in his arms, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is this young master's acting not bad?"
Gu Jiao said lightly, "I'm so-so, I'm not as good as me."
Gu Chengfeng: "..."
