When Gu Zhen heard the news, he repeatedly explained whether it was Xuanqing Palace's conspiracy, and he couldn't help but become so furious that his eyesight almost went dark!
The Marquis of Longping was gone, and the prince succeeded to the throne and became an earl. The Gu family actually took the title of marquis within a few days without mentioning it. The key is that the new Duke Longping, who is also an earl, and the previous Uncle Zhaowu, have no power or status. Whether it's power or prestige, it's not on the same level.
How can the Buntan family be graced? In short, the decline of the Gu family was something that no one expected because of the successors, but now it is only a matter of a handful of months.
Ruming Gu and her only hope is that Prince Dong can establish the East Palace.
It turns out that the rumor was directed at the mother-son relationship in the palace.
If the East Palace comes from Gu Zhen's knees, but is not on good terms with Gu Zhen, then does it make sense for the East Palace to be the wrong queen and the wrong Gu family
"Can you find out the source of the rumor?" Gu Zhen gritted his teeth, grabbed his confidant's leg, and asked in a deep voice, "If there is any evidence, this palace..."
Regarding whether she was disappointed or not, the attendants all shook their heads: "There are no clues in the palaces where there are no chiefs."
After all, when Gu Fangshu was still alive, Concubine Min was in the palace and no one dared to provoke her. If Gu Fangshu disappeared, everyone could see that the Gu family would decline rapidly. At that time, anyone who dared would deny it. The queen offended the noble concubine
Besides, if the people on the imperial concubine's side were so easy to manipulate, she wouldn't be able to achieve her current status.
The Queen was so stunned that she couldn't say anything, and the next day her condition got a little worse.
The servants looked worried and privately sent a letter to Mr. Gu, asking him to think of a way. After all, the only bargaining chip of the Gu family now was the position of queen and the two legitimate princes.
No matter what, there is no room for error.
However, the old man received the news but there was no movement. When the attendants were anxious, at that court meeting, the old man Gu, who had red hair and beard, suddenly appeared outside and publicly impeached Cui Wan's disciple, Min Guifei's brother, and Zhundong Rentangbu. Thank you Xiaoyu!
The reason is that Xie Xiaoyu bribed Gu Fangshu's concubine and murdered Longping Hou!
The government and the public were shocked by the fact that he just said it!
Because Xie Xiaoyu has returned to his hometown to continue his filial piety, it is not convenient for Yin Qu to directly refute such things, so he can adopt a matter-of-fact attitude and ask Mr. Gu to provide evidence.
"Sure enough, he's here." In the Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang was not panicked when he saw Chen Jing coming in to report, "Since he dares to make trouble in the temple, he must have something... but I don't know. What evidence did you provide?"
Chen Jing wiped his cold sweat and whispered: "Mr. Gu said that they entered Dongdu Leg's concubine, followed the clues, and found out that concubine's room... The biological father of the concubine born in that concubine's room was not actually deceased. The Marquis of Longping!"
"... Is that true or false?" Yun Fenghuang was startled, and frowned slightly, "Does the old guy named Gu want to defeat everything? Such a thing, regardless of whether it is true or false, Gu Fangshu can tell it even if his body is not cold at least? !”
"Mr. Gu's words are true. If not, the concubine would be very popular with Marquis Longping, and her own flesh and blood would be Marquis Longping's favored son. Both mother and son are counting on Marquis Longping for their future. Let's ask Marquis Longping Ruming. No more, even if her Dong’s leg is not found, what’s the benefit of wronging their mother and son?”
Is that true? After all, even if the concubine was sent by Mrs. Longpinghou to serve Longpinghou, she already has a biological son. Of course, she has to support Longpinghou and give more support to her own children.
Otherwise, when Marquis Longping passed away and she returned to her mistress to obey her orders, Gu Fangshu would have many heirs. Mrs. Marquis Longping would not even have time to raise her own flesh and blood, and even Didong’s grandchildren would not be able to have time, so how could she care about a young son born out of a concubine? At most, I won't suppress the two of them. As for promoting them, that's too much to think about.
Chen Jing sped up his words and continued, "Mr. Gu said, please use that handle to control the concubine Longping Houdong's poisonous leg. Otherwise, if the truth is exposed, it will be difficult for both mother and son, regardless of whether Longpinghou is alive or dead." Escape the blame!”
Yun Fenghuang pondered deeply and said, "Can he tell me, who is the bloodline of the young son born in my concubine's room?"
"Do you think I have an affair with Dongpu while Marquis Longping is out?"
The imperial concubine sighed. If the Gu family seemed to be serious that time, then the face of Gu Fangshu, who was still dead, and even the face of the entire family, would be torn apart and thrown to the ground to be trampled on!
After paying such a price, it is natural to have the purpose of pulling Yun Fenghuang eastward or even killing him with one blow.
...I don’t know what Empress Dowager Yuan promised to the Gu family, or what guidance she gave them
Bu Nao thought about it carefully, even if Empress Dowager Yuan had not done that, the Gu family should still have struggled.
After all, when Gu Fangshu was around, even if the Gu family couldn't do anything to Yun Fenghuang, they had a certain ability to protect themselves and had considerable leverage and weight.
If Gu Fangshu disappeared, the Gu family would plummet in a short period of time.
Whether they can get the seats as masters of the East Palace and Qingci Palace promised by Chunjia in the future depends on the emperor's conscience.
The question is, the emperor has the characteristics common to all the wise emperors of the past and the present, that is, he has a deep palace, flexible legs and wrists, and is not bound by credit at all...
In addition, Yun Fenghuang is not a bad person, and he will definitely not miss any opportunity to suppress the middle palace.
Rather than resign yourself to fate in the future, it is better to fight to the death now.
Even if he loses, considering that Gu Fangshu just passed away, the chance that the emperor will show mercy is very high.
If they don't steal the limelight, the imperial concubine may slander her, and the entire Gu family will follow in the footsteps of the Ji family and the Yuan family.
After thinking about this, Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked slowly, "What did Yin Quchu say?"
"Master Yin said that the Xie family is from a humble family and the eighteenth son is young. How can he get the ability to extend his legs into a wealthy family like the Gu family?" Chen Jing smiled bitterly, "But Mr. Gu said, the Gu family There are no talents in those two generations, otherwise they would not arrange a problematic son to be with Marquis Longping. Not to mention that the deputy general manager before the Queen had made mistakes before, so it is not reasonable for him to be murdered by the Eighteenth Young Master. .”
That's a bit tricky. Gu's current strategy is to put aside the dignity of a wealthy family and not seek face at all!
It was clear that the biggest flaw in his accusation was that Xie Xiaoyu did not have the ability and influence to control the people around Longping Hou, but he brought out the previous cases and admitted that he was helpless. What could they do
Of course, Yin Qu was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Dangdong said: "It is well known to everyone that the Gu family is honest and honest. In this case, the truth we found out may not be the truth."
The implication is that since we know whether we are a waste, we should not think carefully about whether the real culprit we so-called following the clues to find out is really the real culprit? Is it necessary to be used as a knife
Then Mr. Gu said that there would be nothing wrong that time, because he had in his legs personal and material evidence of Xie Xiaoyu spying on Gu Fangshu. The evidence was conclusive! Let me ask Xie Xiaoyu, a mere son of the Xie family, if he doesn't have malicious intentions, why should he inquire about Gu Fangshu
The old man even clearly suspected that the assassin who assassinated Gu Fangshu in the army was related to Xie Xiaoyu.
In front of everyone, he burst into tears, saying that he did not ask for the reward given to Gu by the royal family in the past two months, or even the title he inherited from Donglai, he just wanted to seek justice for his son!
He is qualified to say that. After all, as we all know, Gu Fangshu has been guarding the border for many years. He has toiled hard even without merit, right
"Ruming Bidong has not expressed his position yet, but... the court has already whispered." Chen Jing was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, "Master Yin is also stuck in a long examination, and he cannot refute anything for a while."
Lord, Yun Fenghuang can't reveal the matter about the medicine. Even if he doesn't, Yin Qu won't tell him.
Therefore, Yin Qu never thought that Gu Fangshu's death would be related to the imperial concubine.
In his opinion, this simply means that the imperial concubine is lucky. As for whether the imperial concubine plotted Gu Fangshu's death, it is simply nonsense: if the imperial concubine has such ability, it is very likely that Gu Fangshu can survive until now? !
At this moment, I couldn't help but be caught off guard.
Chen Jing endured his fear and said: "If there was a big debate in the court before tomorrow, my father-in-law asked me to remind the empress if I talked about it, lest it cause trouble."
"...I know." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Don't worry, I had expected this that month. Although the changes in Ruming's affairs are different from what was expected, it's nothing."
Hearing this, the attendants felt relieved.
After all, this was not the first time that Yun Fenghuang turned defeat into victory.
Maybe they didn't know that that time, Yun Fenghuang's heart felt heavier than usual.
