Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 153 Timely rescue
Gu Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he had not thought of what to say.

The prince twitched his lips and waved his hand to say no more.

"Okay, let's talk about this later!"

The prince looked at the tragic situation around him, his eyes were full of sadness, but his face could not show it yet.

He is the prince and the backbone of everyone. He cannot show weakness.

"Your Highness."

Gu Zhao sighed and said: "I didn't mean to hide it, but I was a little scared. I was worried about missing the shot and worried about actually hitting it."

"I'm waiting for the safest time."

"I know."

The prince patted Gu Zhao on the shoulder and said, "No need to explain, I understand your mood."

At the end, as if he was worried that Gu Zhao wouldn't believe it, he smiled mockingly and said, "Fortunately, you didn't kill him with one arrow. I was also thinking that it would be great if he died. If I thought that he died, I would regret it." ”

The two looked at each other with clear sincerity in their eyes.

The prince took his people to arrange for the wounded. Fortunately, he managed it in time and defeated the enemy's general, allowing them to survive for a while.

"Have the people sent to inquire for information returned?"

After making arrangements, Gu Zhao and the prince sat on the wall, each holding a pot of hot water and started drinking.

"Not yet." Gu Zhao shook his head: "But I estimate that it will be soon."

During this period, Gu Zhao looked in the direction of Lin Mansion from time to time, looking at the fire over there, feeling a little sad.

Don't know how she is doing now.

Even though he knew something had happened to her, he was stuck in this small well because he couldn't get out.

After the eldest prince was injured, his behavior became a little out of control.

The former commander of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities led the crowd and surrounded them again. He was not as courageous as the eldest prince. The two sides did not exchange greetings and entered a new round of offensive and defensive battles.

His methods are more ruthless than the eldest prince's.

I'm afraid it's impossible to hide in the guard post. They have already made plans to be attacked.

Duke Dingguo led people into the city and restrained his officers and soldiers so that they could not disturb the people. The only thing he did in this war was to lead his troops and surround the imperial city.

When he found out that His Highness was injured, he felt relieved for some reason, and even felt that it would be best if he died like this.

Unfortunately, he couldn't let him die.

The lives of the entire Jiang family are in his hands. If he dies, the rest of the Jiang family will not survive.

"General, do we really want to fight in?"

Duke Dingguo's eyes darkened, he didn't know what to do, he wanted to delay it some more.

"I...can't rebel." Duke Dingguo said in a hoarse voice: "If I rebel, my family and you will all become sinners through the ages. I can't do this."

"But General, what should Mrs. Mei and the others do?"

This is the most painful thing for Duke Dingguo. Sure enough, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times.

"Report."

The herald took the command arrow and ran quickly to Duke Dingguo's horse, saying: "Report to the general, Mrs. Mei is here with all the female members of the Jiang family."

"What? How did they come here? Didn't they ask you to send troops to surround them?"

"Mrs. Mei is threatening her with death, and no one dares to stop her!"

The herald sighed and said: "They will be here soon."

Duke Dingguo hurriedly got off his horse, turned around and looked at the direction in which the herald was running. He looked at the figures in the distance with a somewhat complicated expression and murmured "Mother" to himself.

"Kneel down." Mrs. Mei approached and scolded sternly: "Have you forgotten what I taught you before?"

Duke Dingguo knelt down without any resistance, and the other soldiers also knelt down to listen to the instructions.

Mrs. Mei hit him hard on the back with her cane and said, "I haven't talked to you much in recent days. I'm warning you for the last time, follow your heart in everything. If you can't stick to what you want in your heart, you will be in vain." But mother..."

"There is nothing wrong with it." Mrs. Mei reached out and touched his head: "Mother knows what you are thinking. That is why we are here. Do you know that there is no cure for the poison?"

"What? How is it possible?" Duke Dingguo's eyes widened: "How could this happen!"

"Why not?" Mrs. Mei said calmly: "Do you expect a person who uses such despicable means... to keep his promise to you?"

"I'm afraid that you will be the first to be killed after the matter is completed. After all, your existence reminds him all the time that he is not in the right position!"

"Okay, get up. Do you know what you should do now?"

"My son understands."

Duke Dingguo touched the tears on his face and showed a determined expression.

"See you...your wife and children one last time."

Mrs. Mei frowned subconsciously, with sour eyes.

However, this was their choice and they had no choice.

"Mother, your son is unfilial!"

As he spoke, Duke Dingguo kowtowed three times to Mrs. Mei, which was regarded as his filial piety to Mrs. Mei.

"Okay, okay, get up. I entrust all the Jiang family's things to Gu Zhao, as well as the children."

From the moment Ding Guogong decided to lead his troops out of Yanzhou, the Jiang family had no room for maneuver.

However, for the sake of a few children, he still had to defect in battle.

"Yes." Dingguo Gong nodded: "If you leave it to him, I will feel relieved."

Mrs. Dingguo came over with her two daughters who had just grown hairpins.

"Sorry for causing trouble for you."

As he spoke, tears flowed down again. The tough-minded man couldn't hold back his tears in the end in front of his wife and children.

His remaining brothers have not returned and are still controlled in Yanzhou.

The faces of several sisters-in-law could not hide their disappointment, but they soon felt relieved and just told Duke Ding that they had left letters and hoped that he would help convey them.

After everyone said goodbye, Mrs. Mei took the women back again.

This night is an uneasy night.

The news quickly spread to all parties.

The second princess yawned and almost couldn't hold the teacup in her hand while listening to the report.

After a long time, he sighed leisurely.

"They are the ones who are really pitiful. They are controlled by others just because they are famous."

"What are they going to do?" The emperor was a little hesitant, but he also understood that something big seemed to have happened.

"Probably...I don't want to be a burden to living people."

"You mean they decided...to?"

"That's right." Lin Miaofu sighed: "The poison used by the boss has no cure."

"I don't know if he was also deceived, but it was really difficult for Mrs. Mei to make such a decision in order not to embarrass Jiang Jiajun."

"I didn't originally intend to punish them."

The emperor muttered, seeming a little confused.

"But, father, the prince needs such a war to stabilize his position."

"You and I both know that."

"But if we controlled the boss earlier, would Duke Ding and his family not have to die?"
