[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Gu Xingchi said slowly: "For Your Majesty, King Ning is just a pawn he uses to get rid of the prince. King Ning is very ambitious, so he will naturally throw it away when it is used up. For the Queen, King Ning is the murderer who murdered her son. , She will definitely not let King Ning go. Therefore, it doesn't matter who ordered people to kill King Ning."

Sister Feng said: "But I always feel that something is wrong, Zhaohua, do you know what?"

Gu Xingchi rubbed her hair, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Because King Ning was killed in the street, the emperor was furious.With so many people watching, it was necessary to thoroughly investigate the matter and search for the assassin, so on the day King Ning was assassinated, the gates of the city were closed and the whole city was under martial law.

As long as you take a walk on the street, you can see the soldiers in charge of the search.Recently, a series of accidents have caused panic among people, so that many people have closed their doors and dare not go out.

But you still have to go out when you should go out, such as going to the Prince Ning's Mansion to express condolences, attend a funeral, or when the emperor fell ill.

This time the emperor was sicker than before, bedridden, and even the doctor Xia was helpless.At this critical time, the emperor must not die, so all the courtiers were very worried about the emperor's health, waiting to be summoned by the emperor at any time.

Gu Xingchi also became more and more busy, and was often called into the palace by the emperor, and there was no one to see every day, and Sister Feng felt uneasy all over her heart.Therefore, I went to Prince Qing's Mansion to walk around to relieve the anxiety in my heart.

"Concubine Xian was frightened and fell ill. His Royal Highness Prince Qing was serving His Majesty in the palace. This morning, Concubine Wang also went to the palace to visit Concubine Xian." When Sister Feng arrived at Prince Qing's mansion, she heard The people above said so.

In other words, the emperor's only two remaining sons, including Gu Xingchi, are in the palace.

Ping'er said: "Madam, shall we go home now?"

Sister Feng lingered in front of the carriage for a long time and made up her mind, "I want to enter the palace."

"Entering the palace at this time?" Ping'er was astonished, "But Master Hou said that there is turbulence outside now, so you can stay at the mansion with peace of mind and don't leave the mansion easily."

Sister Feng said: "Needless to say, get on the carriage quickly."

Even though Ping'er felt that something was wrong, seeing Sister Feng's insistence, she did not persuade her anymore, helped Sister Feng into the carriage, and said to the driver: "Go to the palace, hurry up."

"Wait." Sister Feng said to Xiang'er, "Master Lin should be in the palace now. Go to the Lin family to find Miss Lin, and tell her that I invited her to sit in the Gu family. Now there is only one aunt in the Wang family. Take it to the Gu family."

Xiang'er said: "Your servant will remember."

All the way was unimpeded, and Sister Feng went to the Palace of Concubine Xian.

"My wife pays homage to the virtuous concubine." Sister Feng saluted.

Neither Gu Qionghua nor Concubine Xian expected Sister Feng's sudden visit. Concubine Xian lay on the bed, "Mrs. Gu is excused. Right now, the palace is in chaos. I don't agree with Qionghua coming to me. Why don't you come too?" gone?"

Seeing that Concubine Xian and Gu Qionghua did not have any quarrel over the Lu family's affairs, Sister Feng was relieved.

"I was going to visit the second sister at Prince Qing's Mansion, but I learned that she has entered the palace, so I followed." Sister Feng said, "I heard that your mother is not feeling well, so I don't know how it is now?"

Concubine Xian smiled: "My body has always been like this, plus too many things have happened recently, I was shocked, and my body couldn't take it anymore. Fortunately, Qionghua is a filial child. When I heard that Ben Gong was ill , and immediately entered the palace."

Sister Feng said: "Your Majesty must take care of yourself."

Concubine Xian smiled gently, "In order to hold my grandson for a few more years, I will also take good care of my body."

Gu Qionghua said with a smile: "When the concubine mother recovers, I will bring brother Jin to visit grandma."

At this moment, I suddenly heard the exclamation of the maid from outside, "This is Changle Palace, and the Empress Xian lives in it, can you take responsibility for disturbing the empress?"

Several people were in the palace, and the sound of the long sword being unsheathed could be faintly heard.All this happened unexpectedly, and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, all stunned.

Before knowing what was going on, a group of guards rushed in with sharp swords and surrounded Changle Palace.

Gu Qionghua helped Concubine Xian get up, Concubine Xian coughed twice, "Who gave you the right to break into Changle Palace!"

The leading guard said: "By His Majesty's order, the people in Changle Palace will be imprisoned for interrogation."

Gu Qionghua stroked Concubine Xian's back, giving her comfort, "It's a bunch of nonsense, we didn't make any mistakes, why did His Majesty arrest us, it must be you who falsely preached the imperial decree!"

The leader said: "After investigation, the mastermind behind the assassination of King Ning was King Qing, so naturally you will be arrested together for interrogation."

Gu Qionghua was terrified, "Nonsense, how could King Qing send someone to assassinate King Ning, there must be someone who deliberately framed King Qing."

The sword flashed coldly, reflecting the ferocious smile of the man, he waved his hand and said, "Save these words and speak them before His Majesty, someone, come and take them away!"

As he spoke, guards surrounded him with sharp swords.

"How dare you!" The female officer and Gu Qionghua both protected Concubine Xian.

"Since we are ordered by His Majesty, there is no reason why we dare not. I advise you to be arrested and follow us honestly."

Saying this, he seemed to have lost his patience and winked at the guards.

Concubine Xian coughed violently a few times, and said to Gu Qionghua: "Get out of the way, don't hurt you."

Sister Feng suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked at Concubine Xian who was about to get up and said, "Don't go there!"

The leader sneered and said, "Since you are not willing to go out, you can only solve it on the spot."

In an instant, he raised the sharp sword in his hand and slashed at Concubine Xian.

The palace maids were shocked, and they all exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

Concubine Xian closed her eyes and waited for the sharp sword to fall, but after a while, she didn't feel any pain.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the man slumped to the ground holding a sword, his eyes widened, and a long sword pierced through his chest from behind.

Sister Feng turned her head and saw Gu Jin walking in with a group of guards, and the sound of hacking and killing came in.

Gu Jin bowed to several people first, and then said to Sister Feng: "Master Hou learned that Madam is entering the palace, so he specially asked his subordinates to bring someone to protect Madam."

Sister Feng looked at the corpses on the ground, "The group of people just now were..."

"He belongs to the queen." Gu Jin said.

Was the queen sure that the plan would succeed, so she killed them without any scruples?

But Gu Xingchi sent someone to protect them in time, does it mean that Gu Xingchi had an insight into the queen's plan early on?

Sister Feng's eyes were serious, "Where is Hou Ye now?"

Gu Jin hesitated for a while, but still said truthfully: "Your Majesty's bedroom."

Sister Feng didn't think much, and walked out of the palace.

"Madam (third sister-in-law)." Gu Jin and Gu Qionghua said at the same time.

Sister Feng paused, turned her head and said, "Please Gu Huwei to arrange some people to protect Xianfei and Wangfei."

Gu Jin didn't persuade him either, he arranged for people to guard the Changle Palace, and went with Sister Feng.

Not long after leaving the Changle Palace, I heard the sound of hasty and heavy footsteps, and many guards in iron armor ran over quickly, and then scattered to surround the entire palace.

The leader, with a cold face, walked towards Sister Feng with a sword in hand.

Gu Jin drew out his sword and said coldly: "Shao Qun, as the commander of the Imperial Army, your duty is to protect His Majesty. Your Majesty trusts you, but now you have betrayed His Majesty!"

Shao Qun said as he walked: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a leader to do things. The empress has already won the victory. For the sake of a bright future, it is natural to abandon the dark and turn to the bright."

"You, a traitor and ungrateful person, are you worthy of calling yourself a 'virtuous minister'? The Xu family is not so easy to rely on. I advise you to put down the sword in your hand and don't make things difficult for us. Maybe you can save your life in the end."

Sister Feng knew that the queen would definitely kill her and Gu Xingchi, but she was not afraid, her eyes were full of sarcasm, "Master Shao, you are going to rebel. First, the Xu family united with the Zhen family and the Cheng family to rebel, and then designed Let my uncle leave the capital, and then you take advantage of the chaos to force the palace to make a big show. Have you ever considered the consequences of committing such a treasonous crime?"

Shao Qun smiled complacently, "How can this be treason? Your majesty is stupid, listens to slander, and uses a treacherous villain to force the prince to death. Shouldn't the Qing emperor use his side to rectify the court and rehabilitate the prince?"

Sister Feng lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, then raised her eyes again and said: "The prince is inherently virtuous and incompetent, and His Majesty's killing him is not considered wronged. Don't you think it's false to call for the prince's injustice?"

Hearing this, Shao Qun raised his head and laughed, "Mrs. Gu Hou is indeed a smart person. At this time, she still wants to delay time by talking nonsense to me. Even if I cooperate with you to delay time, you still can't escape the word 'death', now There are all queens in the palace, no one will come to rescue you."

Sister Feng smiled faintly, hiding a bit of undetectable weirdness.

"Oh, is it?"

Shao Qun no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with her here, and greeted people: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly take the two of you down."

He thought that Gu Jin was single and weak, so he must not be the opponent of these forbidden troops.

However, at this moment, cold winds hit one after another, and then they heard screams one after another.As soon as Shao Qun turned his head, he saw arrows raining towards this side, and the guards fell to the ground one after another.

Shao Qun's complexion changed drastically, but he was not to be outdone, and shouted for the imperial army to fight against the comers.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire imperial palace was littered with corpses, mourning was everywhere, and both sides suffered heavy losses.Only the sound of hula-la footsteps came, and another group of people came and surrounded Shao Qun and other imperial troops.

Seeing the leader, Shao Qun said in disbelief, "Wang Ziteng, haven't you left Beijing?"

Wang Ziteng rode on the horse and looked down at him, "If I leave the capital, wouldn't this capital be your world?"

"But a few days ago, the queen clearly got the news that you were assassinated on the way."

Wang Ziteng sneered: "Are you talking about the lieutenant next to me? I never believed him, and I killed him long ago."

Shao Qun was shocked, "Is this a trap set by you and the emperor?"

The prince got off his horse, "Isn't this a trap you set up? Your Majesty is just planning. Now you are digging your own grave, what do you have to say?"

It's over, his glory and wealth, his power and status are all in vain... Shao Qun looked at the smiling Wang Ziteng, his eyes were tearing apart, he wished he could take off Wang Ziteng's head with his own hands.

He is not reconciled, not reconciled.Thinking of this, he waved his hand, "What are you doing in a daze, kill me!"

With Shao Qun's order, all the imperial guards began to fight each other, and the screams of Wu Ya were deafening.

People who were born as generals have long been accustomed to these fights, and they don't even feel scared when they see blood all over the ground.

In the struggle for power, there is no right or wrong, only winners and losers, and if you don't kill people, you will be killed.

A gust of wind blew, and Sister Feng felt slightly chilly, and said to Gu Jin, "Take me to find Lord Hou."

Compared with the brutal fighting outside, the emperor's bedroom was extremely quiet.

In such a huge palace, apart from the emperor, only Imperial Physician Xia served on the sidelines.The wind blew in through the window, mixed with the smell of blood, and the golden curtain swayed slightly, just like the queen's gorgeous skirt.

The emperor was lying on the bed, coughing, and when he looked up, he saw the queen appearing in front of him, with a pair of eyes full of sarcasm.

Although the emperor was weak, he did not diminish the majesty of the emperor, "I have already grounded you, who let you out?"

The queen's voice was exceptionally gentle, "Your Majesty, do you still think that you are in charge of this palace?"

The emperor was furious, "What are you going to do?"

The queen put away her smile, her face seemed to be covered with thousands of layers of ice, and now it was shattering little by little. "What am I going to do, His Majesty still can't understand?"

The emperor's chest heaved violently, panting heavily, "Poisonous woman, you poisonous woman!"

The queen suddenly laughed, "I'm a poisonous woman? Is it me or are you vicious? The prince is your own son, how can you do it? You knew that King Ning was ambitious, but you allowed him to murder the prince, and you killed the prince along the way. I watched King Ning be killed afterwards. I really want to see if your heart is dark. In your eyes, only Gu Xingchi is your son. You dote on him and pamper him, but what about the crown prince? I can't wait to get rid of it. Don't you care about Gu Xingchi the most, I will not only kill him, but also crush him to ashes to relieve my hatred!"

The emperor stared angrily, "Bitch, if you dare to do this, you will die!"

"It doesn't matter how I die, the important thing is you, Your Majesty, you are indomitable and powerful, have you ever thought that one day you will fall into my hands?"

The emperor's eyes were like knives, and he slashed down on the queen. "The prince is fatuous and incompetent. Even if I don't abolish him, the country will be defeated by him. I did this for the great prosperity of the country. What's wrong with killing him? It's your Xu family who didn't want to do it. Foreign relatives are not enough, and I want to be powerful ministers to control the government. Don't talk so grandly, even if the crown prince ascends the throne, he is still the puppet of the Xu family, so what's wrong with me getting rid of you first?"

"Do you still remember how you ascended to the throne?" The corners of the queen's lips curled up, her eyebrows raised, "Did your majesty forget the embarrassment so quickly? The first emperor valued his son. If it wasn't for the help of the Xu family, how could the first emperor?" If you will abolish the prince, how can it be your turn to sit on the throne? But you, a wolf-hearted, ungrateful person. I have treated you so well and advised you, how did you repay me? You raised a bastard to the sky, and my son How can I be willing to step on the ground?"

The emperor laughed mockingly: "Don't say that you are so innocent, you know, I never thought of marrying you at the beginning, you stole my sister's marriage, you deserve it for treating you like this!"

There were clusters of flames dancing in the queen's eyes, she looked at the emperor and said: "Since you like her so much, you can refuse to marry me, but you didn't. In front of the emperor, you compromised and chose to give up the person you like. What right do you have to blame me? The ridiculous thing is, you watched her marry Gu Yuan, but you couldn't see her living well. You tried to kill Gu Yuan several times, but in the end you took her by force and let her have you. My child, you are really inferior to a beast!"

"Don't forget, you sent her to my dragon bed with your own hands, and Gu Yuan was also killed by you. She is your own sister, but because you were jealous of her, you robbed her of her marriage and killed her. Husband, you sent her to me to humiliate and force her to commit suicide, you are the most vicious one!"

The queen laughed loudly, "People don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it. There is nothing wrong with me trying to get what I want. But some people are overbearing and block my way. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"You bitch, poisonous woman!" the emperor said angrily.

The queen smiled lightly, "While you are still alive, just swear more, and you will go down to accompany my son in a while. Now the Cheng family and the Zhen family have rebelled with the Xu family, Wang Ziteng was also killed, and the commander of the imperial army has become My people, the whole scene will be mine."

Seeing the queen's rampant behavior, the emperor looked calm, and then smiled slowly, "Do you think everything is under your control?"

The queen's expression froze, "What do you mean by that?"

"You'll find out soon."

After a while, Officer Sang hurried in and whispered something in the queen's ear.

Hearing this, the queen was terrified, staggered a step, and almost fell down.

Officer Sang supported her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The queen turned her head slowly and looked at the smiling emperor, her eyes were red, and she seemed to be bleeding with resentment.

"It's you, you made a plan early in the morning! Wang Ziteng never left the capital, and the married family never joined the Xu family. Wu Dinghou and his son have always been yours!"

Xu Lingzhe thought that he had won over the Cheng family, and performed a scene of enmity with the Cheng family in front of the emperor. He thought that he could use the Cheng family without anyone noticing, but he never thought that everything was under the emperor's control.

Wu Dinghou has always been the emperor's man, he is the eyeliner that the emperor blatantly arranged around the Xu family.Marquis Wu Ding will inform the emperor of their plans verbatim, just waiting to give the empress a fatal blow today!

"The Xu family was killed by Wu Dinghou, and the Zhen family was also arrested. Shao Qun has Prince Teng to deal with it. What else do you have?" The emperor smiled sinisterly.

The queen laughed loudly, tears streaming down her face with a smile, "So what, at worst, I will die with you. Even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me!"

"You—" the emperor glared at the queen, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of black blood, with a burning pain in his heart, "You poison..."

Before he finished speaking, he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, "You poisonous woman, you poison me!"

He has always been cautious about food and clothing, and the people around him are also very loyal. Who quietly poisoned him?

A look of madness appeared on the Queen's face, "I really want to poison you to death, but I need someone to cooperate. Your Majesty, you have been so smart all your life, why are you so confused about this?"

It was the first time the emperor felt panic, his eyes swept across the bedroom, the queen, and finally landed on the doctor Xia.

"It's you, I trust you so much, how dare you collude with this bitch to murder me!"

The queen covered her lips with a veil, and smiled silently, "Your Majesty, this is not collusion between us, it's just that we each get what we need. You killed his beloved woman, so he naturally wants to take revenge, otherwise you think he Why did you suddenly return to the capital? Oh, Your Majesty doesn't know yet, but who Gu Yirong is, you must remember that she was forced to hang herself by you."

The emperor's breath was not smooth, and his face was flushed, "Okay, all of you are working together, do you think you can't do anything if I die? Come, come—"

After a while, countless guards rushed in, and the leader was Gu Xingchi.

At this moment, the emperor's body was so weak that he didn't have any strength at all, and he was out of breath even when he said a word, "Zhaohua, why did you come here, quickly... kill these two rebellious officials and thieves."

Gu Xingchi was dressed in a splendid dress, the gold threads on the cuffs gleamed with flowing light, his head was tied with a jade crown, and his face, which was three points similar to that of the emperor, became even more handsome, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a deep smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I brought someone here. Your Majesty must be very happy to see her."

The guards automatically moved out of the way, only to see a woman in plain clothes approaching. Although her face was pale, she still concealed her youthful beauty.

Both the emperor and empress were shocked.

Xu Huiyi, is she still alive?

The emperor was very excited and waved at her with all his strength, "Huiyi, is it really you?"

Xu Huiyi looked indifferent, "It is indeed me."

"Since you are still alive, why did you fake your death?"

"If you don't die, do you still want to be insulted by you?"

The emperor's lips trembled, "I know I did something wrong at the beginning, and I was sorry for you, but now that I am dying, you still refuse to forgive me? Does it mean that you still have me in your heart if you are willing to come to see me?" ?”

Xu Huiyi seemed to be looking at a dead person, with no fluctuation on her face, "I am Gu Yuan's wife."

"But we have a son, and Zhaohua is our son." The emperor said.

"Son?" Xu Huiyi sneered suddenly, "Your son and I, the child you forced me to have had already been killed by me with a bowl of miscarriage medicine."

The emperor was horrified, "No, you lied to me, Zhaohua is your son and me."

"I didn't lie, if you don't believe me, you can ask him." Xu Huiyi looked at Gu Xingchi.

"No, no, you must have lied to me..." The emperor didn't want to accept that the son he had loved for more than 20 years was not his, "but he looks so similar to me..."

"It's not surprising that there are some similarities between uncles and nephews."

The emperor's face was livid, and he stared at Gu Xingchi, "You, you actually—"

Gu Xingchi smiled softly, "It's not too late, Your Majesty, it's not too late. It's much better than finding out after going to hell."

"You bastard—" the emperor tried his best to get out of bed, but he didn't have the strength at all.

"I spoiled you for 25 years in vain, and you are so ungrateful!"

Gu Xingchi's face turned cold, "Ingratitude? Do you think I should be grateful to you for being self-righteous to me for so many years? The hatred of killing your father is unshakable. If you didn't think I was your son, the Gu family would still be safe and sound. Is it? You are vicious and sinister, more disgusting than the bedbugs in the gutter, how can a person like you deserve to be compared with my father?"

"Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. It was your father who was so stupid that I plotted against him and was rejected by the late emperor. I am right, I am right." The emperor said with a strong breath, " Are you not afraid of being cast aside by using such despicable means? Even if you win, so what, you are the son of the deposed prince, you will never see the light, and you will never be able to ascend the throne!"

"Really?" Gu Xingchi curled his lips into a smile.

Xu Huiyi took out a roll of bright yellow things from the package and slowly unfolded it. It turned out to be an imperial decree!

Xu Huiyi said: "Before his death, the late emperor saw through your true face, and wrote this edict to restore the abolished prince and let him inherit the throne. The late emperor only thought that the abolished prince was still under confinement, but he never thought that you would have forced him to death long ago. .”

Gu Xingchi said indifferently: "With this will, my father can be rehabilitated. As his son, it is natural for me to inherit the throne."

"Impossible, this is impossible!" The emperor was terrified in his heart, but he tried to remain calm on the outside.

"Don't deceive yourself, you know how much the late emperor loved his son-in-law. Knowing that he was framed by you, the late emperor will naturally clear up his grievances, compensate him, and let him inherit the throne." Xu Huiyi said, "From the beginning to the end In the end, you are all like a clown, trying to get something that doesn't belong to you. Even if you get it, so what, God can't see it, and will punish you. Who should this throne belong to, or who does it belong to."

The queen who witnessed everything laughed and said: "Your Majesty, your majesty, everything you carefully designed is in vain, but it is just to make wedding dresses for others, and Gu Xingchi is the one who hides the deepest. You have always used others as pawns, have you ever thought about it?" Will one day become a pawn on someone else's chessboard? My sister is really capable."

Xu Huiyi raised her chin slightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Compared to you, I feel ashamed."

At this moment, the queen seemed to see Xu Huiyi when she was young, with a bit of aloofness in her coquettishness.She didn't understand, in terms of talent, appearance, and scheming, this younger sister was inferior to her in every way, where did her aloofness come from, why did Wang Duan and Gu Yuan like her so much?

She is obviously the eldest daughter of the Xu family and is the most valued by the family, why does everyone like Xu Huiyi?She was jealous, especially when she learned that Prince Duan also liked Xu Huiyi. Her dissatisfaction with Xu Huiyi reached its peak. She hated Xu Huiyi for taking away the person she liked. exception.

I only heard Xu Huiyi say: "I have never seen a sister like you in this world, vicious and selfish. I know that you are not only the daughter of the Xu family, but also the eldest daughter of the Xu family. You have been valued by your parents since you were a child." , they try their best to train you, and give you what you want. Even if they ignore me because of this, I don’t complain, I don’t have such lofty ambitions, I just want to live a peaceful life. I don't care about his status, and I don't care about being a queen. But you want to snatch him away, and he gave up on me."

Speaking of this, she paused, "If you don't want my person, I naturally won't want him. It's not that I, Xu Huiyi, can't get married, and I will never waste my time on a heartless person. So, I married Gu Yuan. I admit that I agreed to marry him because of my anger, but since I gave birth to Jing Yan, I really fell in love with him. I have never seen a person as stubborn as him, knowing that I married him The purpose is not pure, but he still treats me well as always. So I am determined to treat him well and live with him wholeheartedly.

However, you just don't want me to live a peaceful life, and you try your best to trip us up.I can bear all these, but you actually killed him, just because your husband doesn't like you, you can't understand the harmony between other people's husbands and wives, and you want us to separate our husbands and wives!Xu Huizhen, I have already handed over King Duan to you, what do you want from me? Do you want me to die in front of you to be satisfied?You have become a queen, the most honorable woman in the world, you have status, fame, fortune and wealth, what else are you not satisfied with?I don’t think I’ve ever done anything wrong to you. It’s you who have been harming me, and even let the emperor defile me. I can’t believe that such a vicious and domineering person is actually my own sister. "

The queen had no shame on her face, "What can I do, who will keep him from forgetting you? How can you get the happiness that I can't get? Why are he and Gu Yuan so obsessed with you?"

"It's very simple, because they have already seen through your selfishness and hypocrisy. If you take away other people's things, even if you are not happy, you will suffer on your own."

The queen smiled foolishly, "You came today to avenge Gu Yuan..."

Before 'Chou' could be uttered, a dagger pierced her chest, causing severe pain all over her body.

"Indeed." Xu Huiyi pulled out the dagger, bleeding profusely in an instant, "Sister, this is the last time I call you that. You killed my husband, so I will kill you with my own hands. You separated our husband and wife, I I will not let you be buried with King Duan either. I will crush your bones and ashes, and you will never be reborn."

The queen's eyes were full of hatred, she looked at Xu Huiyi, and then fell into a pool of blood, dyeing her phoenix robe a strange bright red.

Do not look down.

Gu Xingchi looked at the emperor and said, "The queen colluded with the Xu family to rebel and forced him to drink poison while he was ill. His majesty died. Seeing that the situation was over, the queen committed suicide in fear of crime. Your majesty, what do you think of this reason?"

The emperor spat out a big mouthful of black blood again, and he couldn't speak clearly. He gritted his teeth and said, "You...you..."

"I will announce the late emperor's edict to the world as soon as possible, so that everyone can know your true face."

The emperor grabbed the quilt tightly, like a ghost crawling out of hell, staring at him viciously.Gu Xingchi also looked directly at him.

After a while, the emperor's hand grabbing the quilt slipped down, and Gu Xingchi walked over to help him close his eyes.

"Good and evil will pay off in the end."

Standing at the door, Sister Feng watched the whole scene and heard everything they said. She was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked.

At this moment, she felt dizzy, and walked in, but accidentally stepped on the hem of the skirt. Gu Xingchi heard the movement, and quickly grasped her in his arms.His eyes were gentle, and his voice was soft like gurgling water, "Are you all right?"

She had seen too many killings today, and now seeing the blood flowing on the smooth ground and smelling the strong smell of blood, she suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

But she couldn't show it in front of Gu Xingchi, she was afraid that he would misunderstand her and feel cruel.So she smiled lightly: "I'm fine."

"I'll explain to you later." Gu Xingchi said.

Sister Feng lowered her eyes, "I shouldn't be entering the palace today, but I'm really worried..."

"I know." Gu Xingchi held her hand.

Doctor Xia coughed lightly.

Sister Feng hurriedly withdrew her hand, walked up to Xu Huiyi and bowed.

Xu Huiyi sized her up with kind eyes, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become more and more beautiful. At the beginning, I thought you and Zhaohua were pretty good, and they became husband and wife by fate. I heard that they have two children now, a sister Qiao, Is it a Tingge? I would like to see the two children if I have a chance."

Sister Feng spoke sincerely, "The Gu family is your home, and sister Qiao and brother Ting are naturally your granddaughter and grandson. I think the two children will be very happy to see you."

Xu Huiyi just smiled, but did not answer clearly whether she wanted to go back home.

At this time, the fighting outside was over.Shao Qun was shot to death by random arrows, and the remaining soldiers gave up struggling.

When the prince arrived at the emperor's bedroom, he was taken aback for a moment when he saw this scene, but he didn't ask any further questions, he just told Gu Xingchi that Shaoqun had died.

Gu Xingchi looked at the two cold corpses on the ground, and said, "The empress poisoned His Majesty, and then committed suicide. But next, I still have a few things to do."

The fact that the empress and the Xu family forced the palace to rebel has already caused panic among the people, not to mention the fact that the emperor and empress are all dead.

But the next thing caused an uproar inside and outside the hall.

Gu Xingchi is actually the son of the former crown prince!

Moreover, he still has the last emperor's edict and evidence in his hand, which can prove that the first prince's rebellion was framed by King Duan, that is, the emperor who had just passed away.But the imperial edict said that the late emperor wanted to restore the crown prince and let the late crown prince inherit the throne.

But the first prince is dead, and Gu Xingchi is his son, so there is no problem in inheriting the throne, but will King Fu and King Qing agree?

In fact, even if they didn't agree, there was nothing they could do, because the power of King Fu and King Qing was not even half that of Gu Xingchi.

In this chaotic time, one should indeed obey Gu Xingchi's orders.

Then, the Cheng family was released, Marquis Wu Ding was rehabilitated, the Zhen family and the Xu family were about to face family raids and extermination, and Concubine Zhen was also bestowed to death.

With the relationship between the Wang family, the Jiang family and Gu Xingchi, they would naturally support Gu Xingchi. Later, when Wu Dinghou and his son returned to Beijing, although they did not clearly express their attitude, they still stood by Gu Xingchi's side. Even Chen Taifu was also in court. It is suggested that Gu Xingchi ascend the throne as soon as possible.

As for the second wife of the Chen family, since Chen Yi is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, the second wife has always been in collusion with the Xu family, so the second wife was only exiled, and Chen Taifu was not implicated.

Regarding enthronement, Gu Xingchi did not directly agree, but only said that the civil strife should be cleared first, and the matter should be discussed after rectifying the Chaogang.

Because Marquis Wu Ding and his son had made great contributions in countering the rebellion, they were notorious for this and made their family suffer a lot of grievances. In order to make Marquis Wu Ding the Duke of Wu, Cheng Xun naturally became the heir of the Duke's mansion.

The reversal was too big, and when Mrs. Lu heard about it, she fainted out of anger.

If he had known that his family would be as good as it is today, he shouldn't have agreed to Lu Li and Cheng Wan's reconciliation, and the possibility of returning his great-grandson was even smaller.

As for the Wang family, Wang Ziteng's official position is already very high, and he will not be able to rise any higher. Besides, the Wang family is his wife's natal family, so naturally he can't treat him badly.When other new emperors came to the throne, they would add officials to their wives' natal families. Gu Xingchi would not fall behind if he loved Sister Feng so much. Out of a little selfishness, he named Prince Teng the Marquis of Yongping.Anyway, the Wang family now has incense to inherit, and it would not be a waste to give a title.

Many emperors hated people who occupied titles and held titles but did nothing good. Gu Xingchi felt that anyway, sooner or later, the four kings and eight princes would end, and a lot of titles would be vacated, so why did he give a title to a meritorious official?

The Chen family and the Zhen family were destroyed, and the biggest winners were the Cheng family, the Wang family, and the Gu family.Those people didn't dare to disturb the Gu's family, so they always ran to the Wang's and Cheng's families, and finally both closed their doors to thank guests.

But at this time, the boldness of the Jia family cannot be ignored.

Someone reported that the Jia family hid the property sent by the Zhen family. This crime alone was enough to search the house, not to mention other crimes.

For example, Jia Amnesty murdered a stone nerd in order to conspire for a jade fan fall.For example, Jia Zhen forcibly snatched women as concubines and forced them to death.For example, colluding with officials and taking up lawsuits.

In short, bullying others by taking advantage of the situation will do all kinds of evil.

Gu Xingchi is not a merciful person, and even if he wants to be merciful, the Jia family has committed so many serious crimes, and other ministers will not agree.Therefore, the Jia family was ransacked.Yuan Chun was living an unsatisfactory life in the palace, and died of illness not long after hearing the news.

Sister Feng didn't care about the Jia family, but fortunately Tanchun's marriage was settled after the Nan'an County palace was raided, and she married after a year, so she was spared this trouble.

As for Xichun, I heard that she was not found when the house was raided.The king of Beijing interceded for the Jia family, and Jia Baoyu survived.

No matter how busy it was outside, the Jing'an Hou's mansion was calm. Sister Feng had already warned the people below not to talk indiscriminately.

"At the beginning, I saw how grand the Jia family was from outside, but now it has collapsed, which is pitiful." Ping'er sighed.

Sister Feng has never been a person who likes to be sympathetic to others, and she feels that the Jia family's fate today is their own fault.

"I said a long time ago that since I have enjoyed the glory and wealth, I should bear the risks behind the glory and wealth. The Zhen family rebelled and was on the cusp of the crisis.
