Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "What do you know?" This was the princess's first question after retreating from everyone.  The hall became empty. Only one maid and one attendant were allowed to stay. The maid stayed by the princess's side. The attendant called "Long Beard" had returned to normal and was vigilantly monitoring the guests. The one who just kowtowed to apologize was  It seems like it never happened.  The narrow knife was still standing on the ground. Gu Shenwei took a step forward and broke through the limit set by the princess. The bearded face changed slightly, but he did not take any action to stop it.  "I know that one of the maids in the palace is pregnant. She is already pregnant in July or August. She is about to give birth. If the baby is a boy, the princess will definitely die." The princess seemed to want to laugh, her face twitched a few times, but she did not laugh in the end. "Interesting.  Let's assume that what you said is true. If the palace maid is pregnant, the child in her belly is naturally your majesty's. What threat does it pose to me? " "Why should the princess keep it secret if I tell you what I know? If you don't believe these two things?  Personally, I can kill them right now." Gu Shenwei glanced at the narrow knife. The expressions of the maid and the long bearded man changed again, but they believed in their status in the eyes of their master and did not panic.  Princess Huaping remained silent, not considering whether the maids and attendants were trustworthy or not, and then said in a slow and cold tone: "You and the Queen Mother are a perfect match. She needs someone to set fires everywhere for her, and  If you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, you sneak back to the Central Plains to take revenge. You want to burn the capital to the ground, right?" Gu Shenwei took a few steps to the right and rear, then returned behind the knife and approached the bearded man.  In this position, with his long beard, he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. He clenched his fists and stared at the guest's back, but he had to step back and give way.  " Gu Shenwei really didn't understand why this attendant was so nervous. His martial arts were average and he had no loyalty. He couldn't even stop the most ordinary killer.  "I want revenge. It's not about venting my anger. Unless the entire capital wants to stop me from taking revenge, otherwise, what's the point of burning it?" Revenge only kills the enemy, but venting anger means killing innocent people indiscriminately. Of course the princess understands the difference, so she is very happy  surprise.  He opened his lips slightly and waited for a while before saying: "You don't think I am an enemy? I said that I was the one who sent people to the Western Regions and paid to hire killers to kill the Gu family." "The princess said that, so I want to see you.  "I saw this man who was sent to the Western Region by the princess." "Do you still think there's something else going on?" "Having murderous intentions is not the same thing as committing murder." The princess hesitated.  She did not expect that the Dragon King would be so "reasonable", which was completely inconsistent with the information she had received in advance, and even more different from her expectations. Before this, she had never thought about the possibility of reconciliation with the Dragon King, but now it became an option.  "Bring Old Beard." The princess ordered, and she seemed to give all the attendants nicknames.  And two people in succession are related to beards.  Gu Shenwei thought about it for a moment and realized that most of the attendants who had just evacuated had different styles of mustaches. It seemed that this was the princess's personal preference.  The long-bearded man bowed in response and glanced at the guest with extreme hatred before leaving, as if he had taken away the favor that belonged to him. Gu Shenwei saw the twisted face from the sword.  Long Beard conveyed the princess¡¯s order at the door, and quickly returned to his original position to continue monitoring the guests.  The princess's hostility was greatly reduced.  Gu Shenwei's request to see the envoy from that time broke the strongest line of defense in her heart, "So, you also believe that the other person who died in the palace was His Majesty himself?" "Unfortunately, I have no evidence." "No one can.  There was no evidence, so the Empress Dowager sealed off the entire palace, but this was an obvious fact: a group of killers unexpectedly sneaked into the palace. This act alone was enough to shock the world. It was definitely not just for the purpose of assassinating Prince Xiao. He was not worthy.  "The trouble is that the emperor has never had an heir. If the death is announced at this time, the world will be in chaos and the kings will fight for the right. As a result, a palace maid is pregnant. She is the hope of the Pang family. If she gives birth to a boy,  There will be a new emperor, and the empress dowager will once again have the power to govern. The Pang family today is not what it was more than ten years ago. It is powerful and well-prepared, and no one can compete with it." Gu Shenwei's words touched the heart of the princess.  , "Hey, the Dragon King hasn't met the Queen Mother yet, but he knows everything about her thoughts. Then you can tell me what I think." "The princess doesn't want to announce her death at this time, because the kings are vying for your status.  It is also a threat. Looking at the royal family, there are three kings who are the most powerful and qualified to inherit the throne. None of them is the princess's favorite. "The princess smiled happily and hollowly, and then she said to the bearded attendant: "This is the person from the Western Region.  , say anything, it seems that the Central Plains imperial court is like a mountain, and several forces occupy the mountain to be the king, and they have to fight for it.?You die and I live.  " "The common people of foreign countries are naturally short-sighted. Your Highness does not need to take it to heart.  "The long-bearded man bowed and said. "Haha, even the empress dowager wants to take advantage of the lowly people, but they are much more useful than you guys with big beards.  " "I cannot share your worries for His Highness. I deserve to die for my crimes."  "A long beard is like a magical mirror, which can always immediately show the princess what she wants to see. At this time, someone outside announced that Old Beard has arrived. Old Beard is actually not too old. He is about the same age as the princess, but he looks anxious.  His beard and hair were unkempt, and he looked haggard, especially his clothes. All the attendants were wearing purple, but he was dressed in gray. He was obviously no longer favored. He trotted to the middle and knelt down urgently.  , put his hands on the ground, almost lying on the ground, and said excitedly: "Old Beard has come to see His Highness and is summoned" "Shut up.  "The princess ordered coldly. Perhaps due to the influence of the "people from the Western Regions", she was more direct than usual. Old Beard was silent. He raised his eyelids and saw a bright handle standing on the ground a few steps away.  He was horrified and his back was shaking like a dog. "Tell me again what you did in the Western Region.  "The princess ordered, her gaze resting on Gu Shenwei's face. "Old Beard is guilty, Old Beard deserves to die" Long Beard standing on the side accurately understood the princess's intention and sternly reprimanded: "Your Highness did not let you say such nonsense.  , just honestly confess the disloyalty you committed in the Western Region.  "    "Yes Yes.  "Old Beard's forehead hit the cold ground with a loud bang. Then he straightened up slightly and said in a trembling voice: "Just like the confession I made to the princess a few years ago, I was ordered to go to Biyu City in the Western Region.  The Jinpeng killer was hired with two thousand taels of gold to eradicate the six members of the Gu family.  I, I betrayed His Highness's trust and kept a thousand taels of gold secretly" "Speaking of Jinpeng Castle.  "The princess interrupted the confession. A mere thousand taels of gold was not what she cared about. "Yes, yes, I contacted Jinpengbao through the Meng family in Beicheng, but they did not take over the business immediately and asked me to wait for the letter. I thought the money was not enough.  .  But the Meng family told me that not everyone in Jinpeng Fort was killed. Gu Lun was an official from the Central Plains, and they were unwilling to get involved.  So I wanted to stay in Biyu City for a few more days, and when the Central Plains City Governor arrived, the matter would be solved.  Unexpectedly, Jinpengbao notified me to pay the commission two days later.  Said the business was done.  I, I was very confused, and after asking around for the reason, I found out that Yan and Yan Changshi from the palace also sent people. That was the reason why Jinpengbao changed its mind.  " "But what did you say to His Highness after you returned to Beijing?  "Long Beard acted as the interrogator. "I, I said that the task was successfully completed. I concealed the fact that Yan Changshi sent people, and committed the death penalty of falsely claiming credit.  "Although he had made a confession long ago, Old Beard was still sweating profusely. "Are you satisfied?  "The princess asked. She had not called Gu Shenwei any name yet, and only called you "you" from beginning to end. Gu Shenwei walked around to the left side of Old Beard and asked: "Are you a descendant of Luojiazhuang in Hedong?  " Old Beard raised his head in surprise. He lost ground in front of the princess, so he had no way of knowing who the guest was today, let alone whether he should answer the question. "Tell the truth.  "The long beard scolded, a little reluctantly. "Yes.  Chang Beard took this as a princess and immediately lowered his head. "My surname is Luo, and my name is Luo Pingji. The master of the Luo family, Luo Pingnuo, is my brother" "Where is Luo Pingying?"  "Gu Shenwei asked suddenly. Old bearded Luo Pingji was startled again. He raised his head again and finally guessed the identity of the guest, "You, are you the Dragon King of the Western Regions, the son of Gu Lun?  " The princess leaned forward. Her interest greatly increased, "Who is Luo Pingying?  How did I not hear it being said.  "The person who answered the question was not the old bearded Luo Pingji, but the long beard, "Luo Pingying is a hermit of the Luo family.  He practices martial arts in seclusion all year round and rarely goes out to move around. Even the Luo family doesn't know about him.  " Gu Shenwei understood one thing. There were many people with the surname Luo around the princess. The Luo family member who was said to be "too good" with her was probably the bearded one. The princess waved her hand, indicating that Gu Shenwei could continue to ask.  "There are rumors in the world that Luo Pingying is very good at martial arts.  "Gu Shenwei said without asking questions. He saw a trace of relief in the long-bearded eyes. Luojiazhuang and the princess are very close, but not close enough to make everything public. "That's what I want to know.  Gu Shenwei pulled out the narrow knife and put it back into its sheath, "Half an hour has passed, I'll take my leave now."  " The princess originally planned to only give Gu Shenwei half an hour to meet, but then she was surprised, "What does these old events have to do with the palace assassination?  ¡± ¡°???I have no comment.  "Gu Shenwei turned around and walked out of the side hall. As soon as the guest's figure disappeared, Long Beard immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the Dragon King is very dangerous. The Luo family is always willing to remove the cause of trouble for Your Highness.  " The princess seemed not to have heard what the attendant said. She sat there motionless, and then whispered to herself: "He wanted revenge, but he didn't argue for his father Gu Lun - he wanted to kill me, regardless of whether I sent someone to hire a killer or not.  , he wants to kill me.  " Gu Shenwei and Su Ai left the Prince Consort's Mansion together. Pang Jing walked to the gate with an expressionless face, as if he was just a servant in the mansion. "Tomorrow I want to see Yan Qin, the permanent minister.  "Gu Shenwei made a request. "Yan Qin is not a member of the clan. I, Zong Zhengqing, have no control over him.  " "If you can persuade the princess, you can naturally persuade Yan Qin.  "Gu Shenwei turned around and began to think about Prince Xiao's banquet tonight. After walking down the steps, he said to Su Ai, "The Gu family's old residence is not far from here. Are you interested in taking a look?  " Su Ai nodded repeatedly. He eagerly wanted to know everything about the Dragon King.
