The Queen Mother talked about the past in a sad tone, not to confess to the people of the Western Regions, but with pride for her son and the loss of her son. In her opinion, the annihilation of the Gu family was really a trivial matter, and the emperor showed his will and wisdom. That's the most important content. The Queen Mother and her son had a good period of cooperation with Yan Qin, the imperial minister. They both faced threats from powerful ministers in the court and had to work together to deal with the outside world. It was during that period that Yan Qin violated the order of the late emperor and handed over a posthumous edict. Come out as a gift of alliance. In this edict, the emperor first praised Gu Lun's loyalty, and then admitted that he had given birth to a daughter and a son with "a certain woman" in Beiting, and they were all fostered in the Gu family. Although Gu Lun would never rebel, he still had a son in his hands. There is no evidence, but there is no guarantee that it will not be used by Beiting, so Yan Qin is authorized to observe at all times. If something happens, he can issue an edict to kill the Gu family. The Queen Mother was not interested in the emperor's romantic affairs, but at that time the throne was unstable and the Pang family had not yet taken control of the military. The Queen Mother was in a panic. When she heard that the princess had secretly sent people to the Western Regions, she thought she was going to use the emperor's illegitimate son to seize power, and immediately asked Yan Qin to take the lead. , wipe out the Gu family and avoid future troubles forever. Li Xiezhu and Luo Pingji rushed to Biyu City in private identities. They did not know that the other party's mission was actually the same as their own. When they found out, they did not tell the truth. The two acted according to orders and had no intention of finding out the truth. The young emperor didn't know about it at first. It wasn't until one day he overheard a conversation between his mother and Yan Qin that he learned that he had a half-brother. This brother might rob him of everything, so he stepped forward. , and said something that surprised the two adults. He said that Gu Lun was an old minister of his father's emperor, and his outstanding achievements were well known to the world. How could the small Western Region killer organization dare to attack the Gu family? Although Yan Qin was surprised, he did not take the little emperor's words too seriously. Claiming that the customs in the Western Regions are different from those in the Central Plains, and that they are motivated by interests and are willing to do anything as long as they pay more. The Queen Mother intended to train her son and asked him for his opinions. After all, the little emperor was young, so the plan he came up with was very simple and straightforward: send envoys directly to the Western Regions to accuse him. The Gu family will be wiped out. Yan Qin smiled and taught the little emperor a lesson: The countries in the Western Regions did pay tribute to the Central Plains, and at the same time they also paid allegiance to the Beiting. The positions and tendencies of different countries are different. Generally speaking, the countries in the East are more inclined. Central Plains. The western countries were more influenced by Beiting. The reason why Gu Lun moved to Shule Kingdom was to avoid the influence of the Central Plains as much as possible. It didn¡¯t take long for Yan Qin to begin to regret what he did at that time, because he found that the little emperor was very vindictive and mistook Yan Qin¡¯s smiles and lessons as sarcasm and contempt, and treated him lukewarmly from then on. The Queen Mother thought more. When only mother and son were left, she gave the young emperor a test question: how to kill potential competitors thousands of miles away without using the name of the Central Plains court. The next morning, the little emperor gave the answer: "My father is worried that Beiting will use the children of the Gu family to interfere in Central Plains affairs. Doesn't Beiting have similar worries? Since Gu Lun ran too far, let Beiting Let¡¯s do it.¡± The Queen Mother felt that her son¡¯s idea was too unrealistic. How could Beiting do something for the Emperor of the Central Plains? But think about it carefully. She began to feel that her son had indeed seen the core issue of the whole matter, and the accuracy of his gaze made her a little scared. The specific plan was still formulated by Yan Qin. He sent a formal team of envoys to Beiting to secretly inquire about which woman the late emperor had an affair with in a public way. The envoy knew that the matter involved royal secrets, but knew nothing about the real purpose. The plan was immediately effective and went smoothly beyond expectations. The King of Japan angrily drove away the envoys from the Central Plains. No one is allowed to talk to him. The Queen Mother can only guess what will happen next. The Great Sun King is trying hard to win the favor of the old Khan King, and is afraid that rumors will ruin his future. He has never been a cautious and smart person. So he issued an assassination order to Jinpengbao in his own name, and King Dubu no longer hesitated. "The King of the Sun?" Shangguan Ru did not expect that the matter would end up in Beiting. There were many scandals about the Emperor of the Central Plains in Beiting, but none of them were related to the King of the Sun. "It is said that the Great Sun King is dead. No one knows whether the person who gave birth to the late emperor's children was his concubine or his daughter." A proud smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face. She had no idea about this matter. Interested, I have never done any in-depth investigation. At this time, what I think of is my son¡¯s intelligence. "You said this was a mistake. Didn't the old emperor's children stay in the Gu family?" the princess interjected and asked. She found out that there were many hidden secrets behind a small assassination that year. She found it very interesting and was a little fascinated by the story. . The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head slowly, "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and people's calculations are always worse than God's calculations. Yan Qin is afraid of bad rumors."?So a detailed investigation was conducted on Gu's former family members to see if they knew the secret. It's not a big problem. They haven't even heard about the Gu family's annihilation. But Gu Lun's eldest daughter-in-law, whose name I forgot, she would rather be divorced and return home than move to the Western Regions. She revealed a secret. " "What secret? "The princess asked, almost forgetting that the Queen Mother was her biggest enemy. "The late emperor did have a son and a daughter who were fostered in the Gu family. Gu Lun was very loyal and claimed internally and externally that they were his descendants, but he was still serving the late emperor in Beiting at that time. , I can only send a pair of children home first, while I still stay in Beiting. I guess Mrs. Gu must be very dissatisfied, so she did it secretly. Of course, it might be an accident. In short, her daughter survived, but her son fell ill and died. " " Died? Then this Dragon King Gu Shenwei" The princess was confused. "Mrs. Gu was afraid of Gu Lun's anger, so she secretly adopted a baby of the same age. The eldest daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law did this together. Neither of them knew that the dead baby had How important. " Is the late emperor's illegitimate son really that important? Today, the Queen Mother is doubting it, but when her position is unstable, no matter how small the possibility is, it seems like an imminent threat. " Shangguan Ru felt a strong bitterness in his mouth, She even wanted to vomit. The weirdness of the whole thing was one of the reasons. The Queen Mother's relaxed and casual attitude made her feel sick even more. An inconspicuous mistake in the Central Plains court caused such a disaster in the Western Regions. She controlled the budding feelings in her heart. Hatred, saying to herself, everything is determined, the gods may want to get rid of Jinpeng Castle, so they rely on a conspiracy in the distance to achieve God's will. The princess sneered several times, "It turns out that the Dragon King killed so many people. In fact, it is revenge for unrelated people. " "I think he just likes killing people, and it may not have much to do with revenge. "The Queen Mother has little interest in the descendants of the Gu family and is limited to immediate use. "I heard that Yan Qin wanted to protect Gu Shenwei several times. "Shangguanyu said that it was exactly the opposite of the Queen Mother. All her thoughts were on him alone. "Really? The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "That old cunning guy, he is probably afraid of the emperor." So he wanted to save something. He knew that Gu Shenwei didn't have royal blood, and he just wanted to take advantage of the rumors. "The princess's anger returned again, "I didn't expect that I have been taking the blame for you mother and son. Fortunately, I am so loyal to the emperor and always want to help him become the real emperor. " "Help the emperor? Ah. This kind of thing cannot exist. For the emperor, 'help' means 'sharing'. I am his mother. My desire for him to be independent is a hundred times stronger than any of you. I have provided him with the most help, but he still See me as an obstacle. And it is the biggest obstacle, even if I surrender and admit defeat. " The princess did not believe the Queen Mother's statement at all. Everyone in the world knew that the Queen Mother was greedy for power and had been trying to control the emperor. "When did you surrender to the emperor and admit defeat? " "From the moment the body was found. He wanted to use the news of his death to cause chaos in the court, and then reappear when all the forces were at a stalemate. I suppressed the news. Just to communicate with him, but he hid and refused to see me. So I followed the advice of Master Zihe and asked Gu Shenwei to go and investigate, hoping that Huanger would understand what I meant: I knew that the person who died was a substitute. " "Gu Shen made an appointment with Yan Qin. The old cunning man knew too much. It was me who tried to get rid of him. Anyway, Yan Qin had already betrayed him in his heart. I am also removing an obstacle for Huang'er, but he still refuses to respond. " "Last night, Master Zihe told me that King Xiao was wooing Jianghu people and wanted to create chaos and kill the princess and me. Of course I know that Prince Xiao is just a puppet. Behind the scenes, Huang'er is controlling everything. The real person also said that killers appeared at the Qizang Bureau in Nancheng and suggested that I take the imperial seal to capture the Yulin Army. I did not go to the Yulin Army, but went directly to the Qizhang Bureau to prepare to return the imperial seal to the emperor. Isn't this called surrender? " For the first time, there was a trace of annoyance in the Queen Mother's voice, which was consistent with the ruthless old woman in the princess's memory. "He didn't kill you after all. "The princess had no sympathy for the queen mother at all. Instead, she felt that she had brought it upon herself. "How could the emperor kill his own mother? That would cause complaints from people all over the world. My prince would not make such a mistake, so he left me here, in the room of Prince Xiao¡¯s unnamed concubine. Later, those killers would lure people into the world. Go here and kill everyone in the house. It's an unexpected blessing that the princess can come to the funeral. " Prince Xiao, his concubine and his two maids, heard the whole conversation as if in a fog, but they heard the last few words clearly, and they were so frightened that they screamed, "Prince Xiao Prince Xiao" The Queen Mother She didn't bother to talk to her. She sat in the room for almost a day and never spoke to her. At this time, the princess glared at Concubine Ji sternly and said, "Prince Xiao doesn't even care about his own son."If you are willing to give up, let alone you? " Concubine Ji's body softened and she collapsed on the ground with the two maids. "We were fooled. "The princess said to Shangguan Ru, not particularly afraid, "What should I do? Escape or fight out? " Shangguan Ru walked to the door and looked out through the gap for a while, "It's too late. The Jinpeng killer has blocked the way out and is waiting for the Jianghu people from the Central Plains to come. " "The emperor will avenge us before tomorrow. "The Queen Mother said in a calm and uncontroversial tone, "He will eradicate the Jianghu people and the killers together, and then claim that he was kidnapped and was rescued by King Xiao. " "The emperor told you everything? "The princess doesn't quite believe it. "My prince, I know best. "The Queen Mother was even a little happy. She was determined to die, but the princess was not. This is a victory. If Shangguan doesn't understand the emperor, she understands another person, "Did Prince Xiao and the emperor go to receive the Yulin Army? " "Um. "The Queen Mother responded softly. "Then he is in danger. Gu Shenwei is also in the Yulin Army. He knows nothing about his life experience and is preparing to go on a killing spree. "The Queen Mother's face changed slightly.
