Chapter 242 It’s Your Own Fault
"This thing has so little success but more than enough failure!"
With an angry sound, it landed on the ground with a crackle, and a set of tea cups was smashed to pieces!
"I always thought she was a smart person. What happened today? In front of the emperor and the queen of Jin, she did such a stupid thing. Did she deliberately push the Gu family to death? "
A dark cloud enveloped Baocheng Hall.
Concubine Gu was so angry that she broke three sets of tea cups, but she still couldn't resolve the pent-up anger in her heart.
At this juncture when the prince was deposed, it should have been the best time for her son to fight for the throne, but each one of them was either holding back or committing suicide. What happened to this?
King Yu continued to be imprisoned, and he was released after the emperor's anger subsided.
But Gu Anxian actually embarrassed Yan Li in public, not even giving the emperor face, and even caused her father to be suspended at home!
When Concubine Gu heard what happened in Zhaoyang Palace, she was so confused.
"My Lady, please calm down." Aunt Zhao quickly brought a cup of tea and came forward to comfort her, "The matter has come to this, even anger will not help. We should find a way to solve this matter."
"What can you think of?" Concubine Gu's face turned livid. "Now that things have happened, what else can we think of? If I and King Yu fail in the future, Gu Anxian will be the biggest culprit!"
The palace servants knelt on the ground to clean up the mess tremblingly, not daring to raise their hands or respond.
Aunt Zhao braced herself and comforted her: "Your Majesty, you still need to calm down. At this time, we need to stay calm."
Concubine Gu was so angry that her heart ached.
If Gu Anxian were here right now, she would have to drag her out and give her a good beating to improve her memory!
For such an old person, his mind is full of love and love, and he has no overall perspective at all.
"Tell me, what's so good about Mu Cang?": The more Concubine Gu thought about it, the more she couldn't hold back her anger, "A prince who is cold and only knows how to fight, doesn't understand a little bit of style, even if she is married, can he say hello to her?" Can you recite poetry and compose with her? Do you have time to spend time with her and be considerate and caring to her? "
"I really don't understand what's going on in her head."
"I have served the Emperor in the palace for so many years, but I don't dare to put on airs in front of the Emperor. It's better for her to have the heads of the entire Gu family to defend her willfulness!"
Aunt Zhao didn't know how to continue to persuade her. In fact, no matter how much she persuaded her, she could not resolve the resentment in the imperial concubine's heart.
She looked forward to the stars and the moon before she finally expected the prince to be deposed.
Now is the best time for King Yu.
However, it was enough for King Yu himself to be unsatisfactory, and there was also a niece who was even more unsatisfactory. How could the imperial concubine not be furious?
"Miss Gu really shouldn't put the love of her children first." Nanny Zhao sighed, "She doesn't even think about what kind of husband she wants as long as His Highness King Yu can sit on the throne of prince and become emperor in the future. Or not? If you are really dissatisfied with Mu Wenxuan, then an imperial edict will be issued to them to reconcile. Miss Gu will be protected by you and King Yu, so she can marry whoever she wants. "
After a pause, Aunt Zhao lowered her voice and said: "To be disrespectful, even if you really want to marry the Ninth Prince, you can still make it happen by using some means when the time comes. However, if you are irrational now, you will harm the Imperial Concubine and His Highness Prince Yu."
Who says it's not?
Concubine Gu sat on the chair, rubbing her brows with a headache, "I really did something wrong in my previous life, and only in this life did I end up with such an inconvenient thing!"
"Your Majesty." Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment and then said worriedly, "Of course Miss Gu shouldn't do this, but after all, she is your niece, and I still love her. Today I have embarrassed Prince Yu's palace in public, and made the emperor angry. Go home." I'm just afraid of..."
What are you afraid of?
When a big family encounters something like this, no matter how good-tempered it is, it cannot be tolerated. Princess Yu will never be able to swallow this breath.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law set the rules, which is the most basic operation of a powerful family.
Gu Anxian is afraid that the next days will be difficult.
Concubine Gu said nothing, her eyebrows darkened: "It was her own fault to beat her to death."
She can't even take care of her own son, how can she have time to take care of a brainless idiot?
Aunt Zhao fulfilled her duty of reminder and said nothing more.
Concubine Gu leaned on the beauty's couch alone and waved her hand: "Everyone, step aside and leave me alone."
Her heart was about to explode with anger today, her mind was dizzy, and she couldn't think of any good solution.
She needed to calm down and just wanted to be alone for a while.
"Yes, the old slave resigns."
As soon as Aunt Zhao walked out of the hall, she saw someone coming in a hurry and whispered something in her ear. After hearing this, Aunt Zhao's face changed and she hurried back to the hall.
"Empress."
Concubine Gu was impatient: "Didn't you say that I should be left alone?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Nanny Zhao walked over quickly and lowered her voice, "Just now someone from the palace came to report that Prince Jing went to the Duke Protector's Mansion to propose marriage."
What?
Concubine Gu was startled and immediately sat up from the couch: "Prince Jing went to the Duke Protector's Mansion to propose marriage?"
"yes."
"Which lady of the Protector is he talking about?"
"Ling Ning, the legitimate daughter of the second wife." She is also the only true legitimate daughter of the Ling family.
Concubine Gu tightened the handkerchief in her hand, stood up, and paced anxiously: "Does the Emperor know about this?"
"Old slave, I'm not sure yet." Aunt Zhao guessed, "But if Prince Jing dares to propose marriage, the emperor can't possibly not know about it, right?"
Gu Guifei gnashed her teeth in anger: "Didn't Prince Yu say he wanted to marry the daughter of the Ling family? Just when I was about to plan this, Prince Yu was put in solitary confinement by the emperor because of the poisonous snake incident. If this gives Prince Jing an advantage, I... I..."
"Don't worry, Madam." Aunt Zhao comforted her quickly, "Should we try to find a way to test the emperor's attitude first? What if the emperor doesn't agree to let Prince Jing marry the daughter of the Ling family?" Tianlai Novel Network
Gu Guifei sat down and said in a cold voice: "I didn't take Prince Jing seriously before, but recently he seems to be too high-profile."
Personally led people to catch Mu Wenxuan and Gu Anxian cheating, and personally ruined the daughter of the Gu family. He frequently spoke well of the Ninth Prince and tried to please Mu Cang and Yan Li.
Now he has started to target the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. If he says he has no idea about the throne, no one would believe it!
Concubine Gu silently began to think of countermeasures: "The emperor said before that he would select concubines for the princes, why is there no movement?"
"Isn't it busy these days?" Madam Zhao sighed, "Last month, there were no major events, but small things kept happening. He was always in a bad mood. This month, he was busy with the wedding of the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang. Before that, there were also the marriages that the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of the South, and the Kingdom of the North wanted to form an alliance... If you think about it carefully, something strange has happened in the past two days."
Concubine Gu suppressed her anger: "Send a reliable person out of the palace to inquire and see if you can get some useful information. In addition, I want to meet this daughter of the Ling family."
