Chapter 145: The End of the Gu Family (Part 1)

"Could it be possible that the imperial concubine will spare the minister when the courtier's daughter complains?" The Qing people went out of the inner hall and ordered Gu Jue to be taken to the warm pavilion next to him, waved away the waiter, and interrogated him alone.

It's just that Gu Jue didn't say a word, no matter how intimidating or tempting she was, she fell on deaf ears.

Just when the Qing people were about to run out of patience and prepared to use some means to make her suffer, Gu Jue finally said slowly, "If that's the case, why should the minister struggle?"

The Qing people looked at her suspiciously, and felt that although the reason was plausible, it didn't match up with Gu Jue's personality that Xuanqing Palace knew.

He tentatively said: "Even so, the King of Qin is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is the apple of the eye of His Majesty and the imperial concubine. If you dare to kill him, not only will you be severely punished, but even the Gu family will be bad." end!"

Seeing that Gu Jue just sneered and frowned slightly, he didn't continue, but went back to the inner hall and told Yun Fenghuang: "The servant girl looked at Gu Jue, and seemed to have developed hatred for Gu Shi, and now she pleaded guilty so quickly, But there is some intention to drag Gu Shi into the water?"

"It's also possible." Yun Fenghuang thought about Gu Jue's disposition, and pondered, "But if that's the case, why wouldn't she come to Ben Gong on the condition that she plot against Gu Shi, in exchange for Ben Gong to release her from the net?" one side?"

The Qing people said: "Who is the empress, and what is she? How can she be qualified to negotiate terms with you? Besides, if she didn't make such a big mistake herself, how can she hold the Gu family? Then Gu's pit The girls in the family are not once or twice. At the beginning, there were three Gu concubines and sisters, but none of them ended well! It is the abolished Gu family, and now they are still in the cold palace? Since the Gu family sent Gu Jue and our Highness King Qin , can we prevent her from turning against me? The servant girl thought, Gu Jue is afraid that he wants to take revenge on Mrs. Gu, but there is nothing he can do. He can only wait for the empress to launch it here, and then go along with the flow."

Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "It's been a while since Gu Zhen was abolished, and His Majesty hasn't said anything about Gu's disposal. It can be seen that he either has other arrangements for the Longping Mansion in his heart, or he just has other plans in his heart." I can't bear it. Under such circumstances, even if Gu Jue admitted that he deliberately murdered the King of Qin and wanted to dispose of the entire Gu family, it would still be a little troublesome. You can test Gu Jue again. If she really wants to take revenge on the Gu family, this palace is not the same. I can't reward her with a chance, it's just that she is more sensible."

The Qing people were about to agree to do it, but they were stopped by the imperial concubine, and said slowly, "Although Gu Jue is young, he has a lot of thoughts. Even if he complains about Mrs. Gu, he probably has malicious intentions towards this palace. Of course, this palace naturally There is nothing to be afraid of. It is just a top priority. It is important to get rid of the Gu family. In this way, you can promise her that if this matter is done well, it is not impossible for me to keep her alive. After all, everyone knows that King Qin loves her very much. Fan Ye is still hysterical and wants to keep her... This loving mother, Bengong, can't help it."

To be honest, she didn't really care if Gu Jue was alive or not.

Because there is no support from her family background, what kind of trouble can a girl who is her daughter at this age cause?

Especially King Qin, who is currently tied up with Gu Jue, not only lost the possibility of entering the East Palace early in the morning, but it is also known that he was protected and raised by her noble concubine.

She is willing to pamper King Qin now, but if she wants to turn her face in the future, let alone Chunjia, the court and harem will scold King Qin for being unfilial. Even people who are not in harmony with the imperial concubine would normally support the imperial concubine overwhelmingly. After all, they themselves have children, so how could they allow those who disobey the trend to raise their heads?

As for keeping such a girl in front of King Qin, the future Princess Qin may have a hard time... That is the problem of Princess Qin.

Yun Fenghuang didn't have that much effort to give his heart and soul to those who came after him.

The people of the Qing Dynasty passed on the message according to her instructions, but Gu Jue confessed without much thought: "Mr. On Princess Zhaoqing. It’s just that Princess Zhaoqing’s servants are vigilant, and the minister has never found a chance.”

And this thing, the Qing people showed it to the imperial physician, it turned out to be the three corpses that once raged in the palace and have been extremely tabooed up to now!

"Is it really Gu who used her to murder Zhaoqing?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at the Qing people who came to sue, smiled, and said slowly, "Is Gu stupid? Although Zhaoqing is favored, But to put it bluntly, she is just a princess after all. With her or without her, what does it have to do with the overall situation? No matter how ignorant Gu is, why spend so much effort to target her? Targeting King Qin is more meaningful than targeting her .”

Although Princess Zhaoqing is a relatively important card in Xuanqing Palace, it is just a card and not an essential role.

If something goes wrong, even the foundation will not be shaken.

In particular, the three corpses are not fatal, but only cut off the possibility of reproduction.

This kind of thing is not a problem for the royal princess, as long as she can think about it!

After all, which son-in-law dares to be harsh on gold branches and jade leaves because of this reason?

Especially Zhaoqing's own father, Chunjia, is not a kind person.

Zhaoqing was his favorite child, even more pampered than other princes, whoever made his daughter a son-in-law didn't want to do everything possible to support Zhaoqing, Chunjia was able to take the skin of the son-in-law's family.

How stupid is the Gu family to do such useless work when facing the life and death of the family?

The Qing people frowned slightly, and said, "Then what does the empress mean...?"

"It's probably because it was aimed at the concubine of King Chongxin earlier." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "Except for the need to rush to give birth to an heir before the concubine, how could it be possible for Gu to help her commit such a taboo? "

"It's either King Chongxin or King Qin. All in all, it must be used to deal with the concubine, so that I can teach myself to take advantage of my heirs."

If Gu Jue had to rely on himself, he would not be able to get the three corpses.

Since this thing was exposed that year, it has been involved in a lot, and it is not something that a noble girl who has not yet grown up can get involved in.

And Mrs. Gu would not be ignorant of the importance, if it wasn't about the interests of the family, how could she take such a risk for a girl?

The Qing people could hear the cold sweat, and couldn't help scolding Gu's scheming and viciousness: "It is said that I sent my daughter-in-law to Qiongjiu Palace to serve His Highness King Qin, but in the end, I have the intention of killing King Qin's son... This is to kill King Qin all the time... Pulse!"

Although there is a concubine like Yun Fenghuang, even if the king of Qin has no heirs in the future, he should not be eliminated from the country, but like Chunjia, he will receive preferential treatment from the court, but if the concubine is really unable to give birth, he will return Forget it, who would be reconciled to being tricked?

"This is a smart girl, and the reason she asked for is very appropriate." Yun Fenghuang was not angry at all, first of all, this matter did not work out, and Gu's was about to suffer disaster, she was too happy, Slowly ordered, "Just follow her confession, let's not get involved in anything. Tell her when all the Gus are gone, and when the Palace will let King Qin come forward to protect her."

"Your Majesty, what proof does she want?"

Yun Fenghuang laughed: "She has the qualifications? Besides, what is this Gong's status, would she still lie about her life? She is also worthy."

In fact, Gu Jue didn't ask for a certificate either, she was indeed very smart, she knew too well that her life and death depended on the imperial concubine's whim, she had no right to bargain at all, so she cooperated readily.

So on the eve of the New Year's Eve banquet, the almost forgotten descendants were suddenly arrested and imprisoned by the clan!

Many of the courtiers who had friendship with the Gu family or couldn't bear it, or had doubts about the abolition of the Empress, originally wanted to intercede, but after hearing about the three corpses, they basically shut up.

Those who have come through the incident of common man Ji Sheng's defeat know it well, this may be the biggest taboo of the royal family since the two dynasties.

After all, it is still difficult to count how many emperors died under the three corpses.

For this reason, the Ji family, who had all the power in the government and the public, paid a very painful price. Even Chunjia's nominal aunt, Ji Sheng, and the status of the empress dowager, were not able to protect her.

Such examples are there, but anyone who does not sincerely want to die, no one dares to act rashly on this eye bone, lest they become the emperor's punching bag.

Yun Fenghuang basically did nothing this time, sent the witnesses and material evidence to the Taichu Palace, and thanked the guests behind closed doors, saying that he was angry.

The emperor was very sad when he heard it, so he came to visit in person without caring about what to do.

"Your Majesty, we came here together in the past, and I won't say anything about it." Yun Fenghuang, dressed pale and weak, waited for him to come, and now he was dying, "My concubine escaped a catastrophe by chance, I don’t want similar things to happen again in the court.”

In fact, it's not just her, why is Chunjia willing to see the reappearance of the three corpses?

In fact, he may not feel sorry for those children who had never met before, but he could not tolerate the royal heirs being manipulated and murdered by foreign relatives. Unable to control life and death... This is something that no normal person can tolerate, let alone the Son of Heaven.

Chunjia solemnly assured the noble concubine that she would investigate thoroughly to the end and would never tolerate it!

That being said, after coaxing the imperial concubine, the emperor turned his head and asked the Imperial City Secretary to investigate to see if Yun Fenghuang wanted to kill them all?

After all, his favorite concubine's hostility towards Gu Shi and Gu Zhen has not lasted for a day or two.

The Imperial City Commissioner simply found out that it was indeed a conflict between the Gu family and had nothing to do with the imperial concubine.

Even Gu's healer who secretly engaged in the Three Corpse Worms was found out, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no trace of Xuanqing Palace's involvement at all.

At this time, the emperor even felt fortunate that because of Gu Jue's "reining in the horse" and "taking the initiative to confess", his favorite pair of children was not killed in the end.

After the fear was over, Chunjia couldn't help feeling murderous towards Mrs. Gu.

Even thinking about the matter of Sui'an, His Royal Highness Sui'an was also killed by the three corpse insects, and he was doomed to have nothing to do.

The problem is that after the incident broke out, the emperor personally investigated for a long time, but he couldn't find the reason why she was cheated.

It is normal for a concubine to be murdered, after all, it involves a struggle for favor and a struggle for the country.

But what's the matter with a princess?

Especially when Sui'an was a child, he was taciturn and never meddling.

In the end, Minghui, the most flamboyant, was fine, and Yun An, who was good at observing words and expressions, was fine, and Suian was fine, this...

The emperor personally interrogated Mrs. Gu and others, and asked straight to the point: "What happened to Sui'an, what did you do?"

Back then, it was not found out that it had any relationship with the Gu family, and the Gu family was very cautious at the time, and he really never suspected this family.

But now, he dared to lay a poisonous hand on his own son's backyard, let alone his step-sister?

Under the premise of doubting the Gu family, the reason is also easy to think of: Xie Wuzheng, who descended from Sui'an, is the imperial concubine's first cousin. If Sui'an has children, it is necessary to increase Yun Fenghuang's bargaining chips. After all, Sui'an has nothing to do. The emperor only needs to treat her courteously. If Sui'an has many sons and daughters, and the imperial concubine wins her over, there will be endless troubles.

And at that time, no one thought that Xie Wuzheng would take the route of love saint.

Generally speaking, the princess can't give birth, even if the son-in-law doesn't dare to divorce, it's fine for a short period of time. If it's a long time, he must mess around outside, and the best consideration is probably adoption... Anyway, the relationship between husband and wife may not be so good. up.

In that case, would Sui'an still think of ways to protect the son-in-law and the Xie clan to serve as the imperial concubine's spear?
