Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 363

"Thank you, cousin. I'm fine. The way I looked just now scared you. I didn't expect that I could really..."

As if not daring to think too much, Chu Yurou's eyes were red and her body was trembling.

"It's okay, it's all over, now that the chief steward is dead, from now on, you won't have nightmares anymore."

Xuanyuanqi felt very sorry for Chu Yurou's appearance, he held Chu Yurou in his arms and continued to comfort her.

As he said this, Chu Yurou hugged him and let herself lean into his arms.

"Seeing how you are now, do you want to postpone tomorrow's itinerary?" It was booked before, and Chu Yurou went back to Daxing to get rid of the person who harmed him before.

Seeing her like this now, Xuanyuanqi felt a little uneasy.

"Cousin, I'm fine. Only when I truly avenge myself and bury Zi Zhu's body properly can I feel completely at ease. Let's go according to the original plan."

She said so, Xuanyuanqi agreed.

On that day, Xuanyuanqi almost unanimously accompanied Chu Yurou, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable. Many people in the tribe watched, and some people always felt very upset.

But no one dared to say that Xuanyuanqi's obedience to Chu Yurou was completely beyond their expectations.

This day finally passed, and on the second day, Chu Yurou led the people towards the northwest border.

Those who sent her back were all Xuanyuanqi's confidantes, and with Xuanyuanqi's order, they would naturally protect her well.

All the way outside the border city, Chu Yurou felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Although she left Daxing not too far away, when she came back again, she felt as if she had been a lifetime away.

After making an appointment at the meeting place, only one person was left to protect Chu Yurou, while the rest dispersed and entered the northwest border pass respectively.

Everyone who enters the border gate has to go through inspection. There are not many portraits of people in the gate here, so a few people passed through smoothly.

After returning to Daxing, Chu Yurou decided to stay in the northwest border for one night. She said so, and the guards who followed her could only follow her ideas.

After finding the inn, Chu Yurou wanted to take a look around the border, and the guard followed her, walking in the border city.

Gu Sheng and Shen Xiao came back from the barracks together, and they were planning to go back to the general's residence.

Walking on the street, the two were talking, but Gu Sheng didn't notice Chu Yurou walking towards him.

Chu Yurou pulled the guards and hid in a place with few people. She watched Gu Sheng and Shen Xiao walk over together, her face was full of shock.

"Can you think of a way to see where the two are going?" Although he didn't know Shen Xiao, Chu Yurou knew Gu Sheng.

Both of them were married to Emperor Chen back then, one was the main concubine and the other was the side concubine. After so many years in the palace, there were always open and secret fights. She was very familiar with Gu Sheng.

But now, she actually saw Gu Sheng in the northwest border pass, how could this not surprise her?

After getting her order, the guard asked her to find a place to sit for a while, while he quietly followed.

Chu Yurou found a teahouse and sat in the teahouse. For some reason, she always felt uneasy.

The teahouse has always been a place where people like to talk about various things after dinner, and there are a few words that Chu Yurou noticed.

"You said, the former empress is gone, now that noble concubine, will she become the empress?" Several people gathered around the table, chatting and gossiping.

"I don't think so. Didn't you say before that the imperial concubine is a disaster?" The man who said this was a thin and small man. He spoke with a mysterious face, his voice seemed to be lowered, but Chu Yurou could hear it.

"What disaster! It's nonsense. I've heard it all. That imperial concubine is favored by all the gods in the sky! Think about it, that imperial concubine gave birth to twins!"

After the thin man finished speaking, the fat man beside him spoke up, refuting what the thin man said.

"I also heard that a big black tortoise appeared in that palace, so I went to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine said that wherever it rains, it will rain. How could it be a disaster? In my opinion, the empress The place belongs to her.”

Sitting on the chair, Chu Yurou became more and more sure that what she saw before was Queen Gu who had been dealing with her for several years.

Listening to what these people said, Queen Gu died because she was injured by the Chu family, so she died.

But she remembered very clearly that she was not injured at all, so her death must be fake.

How could the emperor let her out of the palace?Could it be that it was for the Su family, to make her a queen, so he deliberately did this to create momentum for her?

After leaving the palace, she no longer knew what happened in the capital. If she hadn't heard these people talk about it today, she would have no idea that so many things happened in the palace!
For a moment, Chu Yurou was full of thoughts, and at this moment, the guards who followed found her.

"How?" Chu Yurou asked the guard urgently.

"Those two people went to the general's mansion, and the subordinates inquired about it. One of them is the frontier general Shen Xiao, and the other seems to be his military adviser, named... Gu Sheng."

After thinking about it, the guard reported all the news he had received to Chu Yurou. After hearing what he said, Chu Yurou bit her lip.

"That's right, it's her, it can't be wrong." Taking a deep breath, Chu Yurou was sure that that Gu Sheng was Empress Gu. She faked her death, left the palace, and came to the northwest border.

Chu Yurou knew that the entire Gu family, except Queen Gu, had died in various battles. The Gu family was the hero of Daxing.

Without the Gu family, there would be no current emperor.

Therefore, after she faked her death, she might indeed come to the northwest border. As for her name, since she left the palace, it is normal to change her name.

Unable to sneer, Chu Yurou got up and walked out of the teahouse. The guard threw a few copper coins and followed her back to the inn.

"Tomorrow, you will send me to the meeting place, and then hurry back to the tribe and tell my cousin, Empress Gu, in the northwest border. Here, her name is Gu Sheng."

Chu Yurou believed that the Emperor must have known about Gu Sheng leaving the palace, otherwise, how could she be here as a woman.

She knows a little about the relationship between her and the emperor. If the emperor knows that Queen Gu has been arrested, he will definitely try to save her. At that time, cousin can take the opportunity to make some requests, and the emperor will definitely agree!

After receiving the order, the guards responded, and Chu Yurou didn't want to take a walk anymore, so she simply rested in the inn.

Gu Sheng didn't know that he was being targeted. After Shen Xiao returned to the General's Mansion, she sent a letter to the capital.

…………

In the capital, after a period of investigation, the people sent by Xuanyuanqi finally found some clues. He decided to follow the clues to find the hidden thread and her weakness...
