Rebirth after waste

Chapter 149

He reassured her, but Gu Yunxian was not at all relieved.If the emperor even drove her away, how could he easily spare Cui Shuo?
But she knew that there was only so much she could say.She cared too much about Cui Shuo, which was a disaster rather than a blessing to him.

Cui Shuo is the backbone of the country and the emperor's confidant, even if he committed such a thing this time, at most he would be relegated to exile, so that his life would not be hurt.

"As for the fifth prince..." Lu Chuan's words immediately caught her attention, "The fifth prince will stay in the palace while you go to Maoshan. He still has a lot to do."

Gu Yunxian naturally understood.Since the emperor still wants to canonize Ah Huan as the prince, he will definitely not let him follow him to Mushan at this time.He had to stay and learn all kinds of etiquette and prepare to become the crown prince.

But how can she feel at ease if he is left alone in this palace?
"No, I have to stay by Ah Huan's side." Gu Yunxian said, "I can't leave him alone..."

"Empress." Lu Chuan interrupted her suddenly, "Your majesty understands your worries, please rest assured that he will take good care of the fifth prince. I assure you that when you come back from the hot spring palace, he will already be a I am the incomparably honorable Crown Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Gu Yunxian lowered his eyes.

Yes.The emperor liked Ah Huan so much, so he would naturally protect him.He has always treated the descendants of the emperor, and will not anger the children because of the concubine's fault.She didn't have to worry that he would dislike Ah Huan because of her.

So, he just didn't want to see her anymore.

Gu Yunxian couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart, as if he was disappointed, as if he was worried, and most of all he was angry because he couldn't figure out the situation.

According to Yin Fansu, the emperor has really loved her for so many years. Could it be that he is so annoyed because of this incident?
Obviously when I found him last night, his words were filled with endless love and longing, but when he turned around, he was so ruthless!
She wanted to ask him clearly in person, but Lu Chuan's words echoed in her ears again.She still has Ah Huan, she can't take the risk of angering him.

Moreover, is it really useful even if you find him?She worked so hard to find him last night, and she is like him, so nothing has changed?

She suddenly began to suspect that maybe her idea just now was wrong at all.He didn't drive her away to save her from doing something, but because he annoyed her and didn't want to see her again.

He is an aloof emperor, and he cannot tolerate a woman ignoring his sincerity.In the past, he had been enduring her and waiting for her, because she hadn't touched his bottom line at that time, because he was still patient.But that night, he suddenly discovered that his favorite minister had been longing for his wife, and as his wife, she was actually moved by his courtier's affection for a moment.

He was irritated by her attitude.

Perhaps, he had long been dissatisfied with her, and what happened that night was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After she walked back to the desk slowly, she fell to the ground as if unable to support herself.

This is the trouble of being moved.The seven emotions and six desires are no longer controlled by oneself, and they will have ups and downs, bitterness and joy because of that person's attitude.

She hadn't experienced this feeling for many years.

When Lu Chuan returned to the Dazheng Palace to return to his command, the emperor sat alone in front of the chessboard, holding a chess piece in his hand but not putting it down, just looking at the chessboard in a silent trance.

"I have sent your majesty's order. The empress will leave the palace early tomorrow morning." Lu Chuan said, "Before she leaves, she will send someone to send the five sons to the Dazheng Palace. The empress asked your majesty to allow her to send two palace officials. People serve the prince wherever they go.”

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said softly, "How is she?"

Lu Chuan said: "Your Majesty was shocked when she first heard His Majesty's order. Later, she wanted to meet His Majesty, but was persuaded by the minister."

The emperor looked at the black chessboard and smiled briefly.That's right, she has always been calm and cares about her children very much. As long as she threatens her with Ah Huan, she will not be afraid of her doing anything irrational.

"Your Majesty, I am very sad to see your empress in the end." Lu Chuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Are you really going to do this? If your empress finds out later, it must be... you are not afraid of regretting it?"

"No matter what I do, I will regret it in the end." The emperor casually threw the chess pieces back into the chess box, turned his head to look at the flowing clouds in the sky, and said in a flat tone, "This is the best way I can think of."

That afternoon, everyone in the palace knew the news that the queen's old illness had relapsed and she needed to leave the palace to recuperate again.Before he had time to react, the queen's ceremonial car had already left for Maoshan Hot Spring Palace early the next morning.This time, she left in a hurry without letting anyone see her off.

Inside the Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Shen Hui took a sip of tea and chanted with a smile, "Gu Yunxian has been arrogant for so long, but now he has stumbled. Seeing her being kicked out like a bereaved dog, I am really happy !"

Jin Jieyu smiled and said flatteringly: "My lady, you have a good plan."

Concubine Shen Hui sneered, "If I hadn't taught me about the entanglement between her and Cui Shuo, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to think of other ways to defeat her."

Jin Jieyu thought of the emperor's current affection for Gu Yunxian, and couldn't help agreeing with this point of view in her heart.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Mr. Shen." Jin Jieyu said, "It's all thanks to him finding out about Cui Shangshu's strangeness and following the clues to find this clue."

Concubine Shen Hui cast a glance at Jin Jieyu, and lightly tapped the table with her fingertips.

She remembered last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she had the grace to meet her father.It was during that meeting that her father broke the news to her.

Shen Zhuyang's father, Shen Ning, was the official servant of the Ministry of War, and he was a member of the Northern Party since he entered the court.Shen Ning has always hated the New Deal and is the backbone of the old school officials.He thought that the political party he was attached to would unswervingly resist the New Deal, but unexpectedly, his colleagues in the party were manipulated by Xu Qinghua and finally turned against him en masse.

Shen Ning was angry in his heart, but suffering from being weak, he could only bear it.But his dissatisfaction was still discovered by the interested people in the Southern Party, and as soon as the two parties got in touch, they hit it off.

The assassination Cui Shuo encountered on the Shangyuan Festival last year was their work.It's just because they think that if something happens to the leader of the new political party, they will be caught off guard, which will give them a chance to counterattack.

I have to say that this idea is indeed correct.But the trouble is that Cui Shuo and the emperor also think so, so Cui Shuo always has several secret guards around him to protect his safety.Shen Ning sent people to follow him hard for several days, but he couldn't find a single flaw.

Just when they were at a loss, a piece of news gave them hope.

The spies came to report that there was a reason why Cui Shangshu did not accompany His Majesty to the Chengtian Gate every year during the Shangyuan Festival—every year at this time, he would hide his face and put a lantern by the Longjiang Pool, as if to pay tribute to his dead wife.And only on this day, he will not bring his dark guards to protect him.

Shen Ning was overjoyed, and immediately made a careful plan to assassinate Cui Shuo on the day of Shangyuan.

They made enough preparations, but they still failed.

The reason for the failure was not because of a mistake in the news or how clever Cui Shuo was, but because of an unplanned person.

That night, Shen Ning stood on the attic not far from Longjiang Pond, looking in shock at the woman beside Cui Shuo.He practiced archery when he was young, and his eyesight was astonishing, so he could naturally recognize that woman as Empress Gu who should be in the Maoshan Palace.

She was actually with Cui Shuo!
Once he had the direction, it was not difficult to inquire. Soon, the spies he sent got some advice from Cui Shuo's former friend Gu Sanlang.It is said that Gu Sanlang was so drunk that he told the secret agent that Cui Shuo had wanted to marry Queen Gu back then.His refusal to continue for so many years is not because he forgets to get a wife, but because he cares about the king's wife...

When Shen Ning received this news, it was tantamount to obtaining a huge treasure.He could have informed the Southern Party about this and planned Cui Shuo together, but when the matter came to an end, he suddenly changed his mind.

He knew that his daughter had been unsuccessful in the harem for the past few years, and the root cause of all this was the scheme of Queen Gu.If she were to know about this, would she still worry about not being able to bring down the queen?
If their daughter ascends to the next position, their Shen family will truly be honored!

Therefore, Shen Zhuyang got this shocking inside story from his father a few months later, and after several months of planning, he formulated the next series of plans.

She had been in charge of the harem for many years before, so although it was difficult to do something at the New Year's Eve banquet, it was not impossible.As long as both Gu Yunxian and Cui Shuo drink the wine she prepared, and then invite them to meet, Cui Shuo will probably reveal his true feelings and say something extraordinary.

What's more, according to the information she heard, Cui Shuo was very depressed during those days, and his emotional defense line was already very weak.

And when they were talking to each other, His Majesty would be led by the people she arranged to see everything he should see.

"That gentle repair is really useless. I was pinned by the empress, and I will listen to you after a few times of scaring." Jin Jieyu said, "If she hadn't spoken that night, Concubine Yin would not have run away Looking for His Majesty, you will bring suspicion on yourself for nothing."

"Xing Wan is cowardly by nature, and it's easy to manipulate this kind of person." Shen Zhuyang sneered, "As for Yin Fansu, she will be suspected whether she goes there, but now she is just bigger."

From the moment Gu Yunxian returned to the palace, she ordered people to spread the news that Yin Fansu and the second son of the emperor were favored, and her father arranged for ministers to propose to make the second son the crown prince.This was done not only to drive a wedge between Gu Yunxian and Yin Fansu, but more importantly, to make the emperor suspect that Yin Fansu had something wrong with him.

Although he dotes on Yin Fansu in recent years, he has always treated Gu Yunxian differently.Back then, he was tricked and taught him that she coveted the big position, and since then she has fallen out of favor for so many years.If Yin Fansu is also charged with this crime, he probably won't get anything good.

What's more, the emperor must be very displeased when he finds out the entanglement between his courtiers and his queen, and the person who made him know all this will be angered by him.Yin Fansu bumped into such a fatal scene, I am afraid that he will never be able to get rid of the knot in the emperor's heart.
