Mrs. Zeng clenched her hands when she heard his righteous words: "When you asked me to marry you, you promised me that you would never take a concubine!"

"I have never brought these women to the mansion!" Zeng Zhizhou plausibly said, "Didn't I keep this promise?"

"Convert black and white!" Bi Hua cursed angrily.

Zeng Zhizhou was not ashamed but proud, and said triumphantly: "Those women have never been married, so they can't be regarded as concubines. Besides, I am no longer the poor and foolish person I was back then, so what if I took a concubine? You still want to divorce? Don't forget, we still have two children who are getting married!"

"If you and I reconcile, it will be easy for Hui'er to rely on the Tang family to get married, but it will be difficult for Zong'er to marry a wife!"

"asshole!"

Mrs. Zeng cursed in anger, but Zeng Zhizhou still looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

She knew that Zeng Zhizhou had decided that she would compromise for the sake of her two children.

If it was before, she might really compromise, but now, there is another bright road in front of her.

Madam Zeng lowered her eyes, and said to Bihua, "Go and invite the county magistrate."

Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou frowned: "What are you going to tell her to do?"

At this moment, Zeng Zhizhou had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. It can be seen that Mrs. Zeng looked like this, but he felt relieved. In his eyes, Mrs. Zeng had a deep affection for him, and she would give everything for the two children. Will betray myself.

At this moment, he let go of the heart that had been suspended just now, and sat on the recliner rather relaxedly, waiting for Gu Ning's arrival.

"Have you figured it out?" He even had the leisure to ask Mrs. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng gave him a suspicious look, which made him sit up straight, but when he looked carefully, he found that Mrs. Zeng still had the same gentle and gentle appearance, looking vulnerable.

He sneered, she's just a woman, what kind of disturbance can she cause?

Soon, Bi Hua invited Gu Ning over.

Chunyu also followed behind Gu Ning, and every time she took a step, she had to carefully observe the yard.

"Master, everything is safe." Chunyu walked quickly in front of Gu Ning, and said in a low voice.

Gu Ning nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to the couple opposite.

"Madam Zeng invited me here, what's the matter?" Seeing Zeng Zhizhou, Gu Ning curled his lips slightly, his disdain was very obvious.

Zeng Zhizhou immediately clenched his fists, but he knew that before he got rid of Pei Anlin, he must not show dissatisfaction or malice towards Gu Ning on the surface.

So, Zeng Zhizhou was only angry for a moment, and then returned to normal.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zeng felt even more disappointed, and even a little disgusted. The handsome young man in white clothes had long since died, and now there is such a potbellied old man staying by her side!

The more I hated Zeng Zhizhou in my heart, the more Mrs. Zeng couldn't continue to make false claims with him, and said directly: "Master, I invite you here today because I want to tell you a secret."

Hearing these words, Zeng Zhizhou's eyes instantly became terrified: "Tang! Do you know what you are talking about?"

However, before he could stop Mrs. Zeng, Bihua had already tied his wrists tightly. His fat body kept struggling, but Bihua's movements were extremely fast and his hands were extremely heavy. Broke all over.

The sound of bones breaking made one's scalp tingle, Gu Ning had guessed Madam Zeng's intention.

Mrs. Zeng raised her head, with deep-seated hatred in her eyes, she expressed Zeng Zhizhou's plan happily with a hint of catharsis: "He gave me a pack of poison, let me take this opportunity to take it for you!"

"I pretended to agree to his request, but in fact I have been looking for an opportunity to trick him into the mansion, so that Bihua can control him, lest he jump over the wall in a hurry and cause irreparable impact on you and the general."

Hearing this, Gu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Zeng didn't dare to look directly into her eyes. For some reason, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes always made her feel that everything about herself was seen through.

Gu Ning coughed lightly, as if he didn't know what she was thinking, and asked curiously, "Why did he kill me?"

"Tang! Are you crazy? Even if you can use her hands to get rid of me? The people behind me will never let you go!" Zeng Zhizhou shouted.

He saw Mrs. Zeng acting fiercely, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at him. He knew that Mrs. Zeng was completely determined to kill him and ask Gu Ning for credit. He knew that he could not impress Mrs. Zeng, he could only threaten Zeng Madam, let Madam Zeng not dare to do anything because she is afraid of the prince behind him.

However, Mrs. Zeng smiled coldly at this moment, she didn't even want to look at him, and said directly to Gu Ning: "Master, do you dare to deal with the prince?"

Gu Ning blinked, and said quietly: "Although Mrs. Zeng is far away in Cangzhou, she doesn't know all the news, right? Don't you know that the relationship between our Pei family and the prince is irreparable?"

Mrs. Zeng smiled in satisfaction. She laughed a few times, looked at Zeng Zhizhou sarcastically and said, "Idiot! Do you think everyone is as weak as you?"

After she finished speaking, she said loudly: "The one who ordered Zeng Qian to poison you is the prince! Presumably the prince is holding a grudge for the past and wants to attack you while you are far away from the capital. Once the news of your death reaches the frontline fighting In the ears of General Pei, it will definitely cause general chaos. At that time, his people can take action again and take General Pei's life in the chaos. From then on, the Pei family will suffer heavy losses! If it works properly, maybe Pei Home is no longer a threat to him."

Now that she has decided to join Gu Ning, Mrs. Zeng naturally knows everything she can say.

Zeng Zhizhou stared at her blankly, fear enveloped his whole body at this moment, the pain in his body was overwhelmed by fear at this moment, he said hoarsely: "You are crazy! You are really crazy! The power of their Pei family How monstrous, can it be compared to the prince? Now the emperor is just such an adult prince!"

"No." Mrs. Zeng retorted immediately, staring at him fiercely, "You are wrong. With the emperor's temperament, it is another matter whether the prince will be replaced! What's more, it is the rebels in Shu who are attacking now. At the critical juncture of Cangzhou, I will never let you take risks with the people of Cangzhou! As long as General Pei is here, Cangzhou can be defended! Guanzhou can be taken back!"

"Well said!" Gu Ning caressed his palm, and when he spoke, the whole person's momentum was completely different, "Madam Zeng is a sensible person, what do you want to do?"

Seeing her change, Zeng Zhizhou was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off.

But Mrs. Zeng's eyes were complicated for a moment, and she said in a low voice: "As expected, you are all pretending! You made me see Wanniang on purpose before..."

Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou seemed to have grasped at straws, and hurriedly said: "Madam! Since you know that she is scheming and deliberately plotting against you! Why don't you subdue her? As long as we get rid of her today, our The program can still proceed as normal.”

"No." Mrs. Zeng shook her head slowly. She pulled out a short dagger from her sleeve and put it on Zeng Zhizhou's neck. "Could it be that she forced you to keep so many outhouses? Could it be her?" Did she force you to get Wanniang pregnant? Or did she force you to threaten me with two children and force me to poison you?"

Zeng Zhizhou's face was pale, and the last glimmer of hope left him.

The cold touch on his neck made his whole body stiff, and the time of death was approaching. His legs were trembling, and the pain in his body was nothing, but the fear of death made him gasp heavily.

"County Lord, I am willing to use Cangzhou as a gift to surrender to you!" Mrs. Zeng said loudly, "Once Zeng Qian dies, you can support your own people to sit in the position of Zhizhou! The crown prince wants to get rid of the Pei family. You have no choice but to cultivate your own power!"

Gu Ning hooked his lips and asked slowly: "What is your request?"

"I want my two children to have a good future, and I ask the county magistrate to hide what he has done, so as not to stain the lives of my two children." Mrs. Zeng said firmly, "I only have one request! The county magistrate If the Lord agrees, I will kill him now!"

"This request is simple, I can promise you." Gu Ning was also very straightforward, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Zeng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but her knife was on Zeng Zhizhou's neck, and she couldn't do anything—not because she couldn't bear it, but because she was afraid of killing someone.

"Zeng Zhizhou fought the enemy bravely in the battle with the rebels, and finally died of serious injuries. What is the reason?" Gu Ning asked, "It's just that you will still be able to live as Mrs. Zeng from now on..."

"I have no intention of remarrying at all!" Mrs. Zeng said firmly, "It's just status, it's all appearance, I never care about it!"

Seeing that her eyes and tone were extremely firm, Gu Ning winked at Chunyu: "Take Mr. Zeng down, and throw him into the crowd casually when we start the war with the rebels tomorrow."

"Yes." Hearing this, Chunyu immediately picked up Zeng Zhizhou from Mrs. Zeng's hand.

Zeng Zhizhou struggled desperately, but was knocked unconscious by Chunyu with a knife in his hand.

Chunyu's actions made Mrs. Zeng even more thankful that she did not choose to go against Gu Ning.

She whispered: "Thank you, county master."

"Madam Zeng is welcome." Gu Ning said meaningfully before leaving, "You won't regret your choice today."

Mrs. Zeng watched her leave in a daze. The chill spread from the soles of her feet all the way to the Tianling Gai. She couldn't hold it anymore, and sat down on the cold floor.

"She actually knows...she's been acting all the time!" Mrs. Zeng muttered, "If I poisoned her that day, wouldn't it be me who was dragged out today?"

Thinking of Gu Ning's eyes just now, Mrs. Zeng was afraid for a while.

Bihua's face was also full of cold sweat: "Such a scheming city is really scary!"

Zeng Zhizhou was half awake and half dizzy. He thought that his life was not long, and his body trembled violently. Chunyu threw him on the ground in disgust. He quickly crawled towards Gu Ning, but Chunyu stepped on his back .

"Be honest!" Chunyu said coldly, "If you are honest, I can make you happy! If you are not honest... I will let you taste the feeling of being trampled by thousands of horses!"

Zeng Zhizhou was scared to death, but he still looked at Gu Ning and said persistently: "Master, the Tang family is not a good person! When she agreed to your invitation, she wanted to poison you!"

"I know."

Gu Ning's crisp words left Zeng Zhizhou at a loss for what to say.

Zeng Zhizhou stared blankly at Gu Ning, and repeated: "You know everything?"

"Of course." Gu Ning smiled, "Not only do I know about this, I also know that the person who instructed you is not the prince, but the princess."

In an instant, Zeng Zhizhou couldn't say a word anymore.

He lowered his head with a gray face, knowing that his fate was completely over at this moment.

……

The capital at this time.

Gu Qingqiu's people searched almost all of the capital, but they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the black-robed man.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Gu Qingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "You don't even know that such a big living person disappeared!"

Ban Xia didn't dare to speak, and even the hidden guards of the Eastern Palace who were kneeling below didn't dare to speak more.

Unknowingly, Gu Qingqiu has controlled most of the people in the East Palace, including these hidden guards, and they all obey her orders. In the current East Palace, Chu Yunyi's words may not be listened to, but Gu Qingqiu's orders, they I will definitely do my best to complete it.
