Chapter 310 Confession
"Oh?" The Queen Mother did not expect to have an unexpected gain, and could not help but angrily said: "Who is so bold as to murder the royal princess? This is contempt for the imperial power! An'an, tell the Royal Grandmother that she will make the decision for you!"
How could the Princess of Lin'an not know that the Queen Mother was just trying to trick her? Knowing who did it, she could find out where the little prince was hiding by following the clues!
"An'an, don't worry, the Royal Grandmother will definitely make the decision for you. If you don't believe the Royal Grandmother, she can give you an imperial decree." How could the Queen Mother not know the Princess of Lin'an's concerns? She really didn't want to do things for the Princess of Lin'an, but you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.
"Grandmother, Lin'an doesn't disbelieve you." The Princess of Lin'an didn't dare to offend the Queen Mother. If she didn't know what was going on, the Queen Mother would have plenty of ways to deal with her when she achieved her goal: "It was Su Wan, she killed my mother."
"Grandmother, Lin'an is alone now. Apart from you, I have no other relatives willing to help me. You must kill Su Wan to avenge my mother!" The Princess of Lin'an had tears on her face, and she didn't forget to make other requests: "And Tang Nuan, before you granted the marriage, I told her that I had asked for your imperial decree to grant me and Zhao Wei a marriage. She despised your authority, cut off the source of the trouble, and snatched my man. She is now by the Queen's side, you must not let her go."
"My mother's greatest wish is that I can have a home. Grandmother, once Tang Nuan dies, you can legitimately grant me another marriage, and I will replace Tang Nuan and marry in. Zhao Wei dare not object." The sadness on Lin'an County Lady's face disappeared, and she said anxiously: "You can get married during the mourning period. If you have passed the mourning period, you have to wait for three years. Zhao Wei is old and can't wait for three years."
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but she didn't show it on her face. She said lovingly: "Don't worry, Grandmother will help you." After a pause, she said in a subtle tone: "The little prince is in Su Wan's hands?"
"Yes, the second son of the Gu family is the little prince." Lin'an County Lady really didn't expect that a farmer's son from the Gu family was so bold that he dared to hide the heir!
She suggested: "Grandmother, the Gu family is so bold. They are hiding the heir. Are they trying to usurp the throne?"
This hat is put on, and if Gu Jingyun's identity is found out, the nine clans must be exterminated.
The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Lin'an. She was so young but her heart was really vicious.
A smile appeared on her face: "Su Wan came to the palace today to treat the Queen." Looking towards the direction of Weiyang Palace, the Queen Mother murmured: "It's an opportunity that comes to her door."
Princess Lin'an was secretly delighted: "The identity of the little prince has been exposed. Su Wan treated the Queen. Is there something wrong with the prescription? I heard that she solved the problem and got a promise from the eldest princess. She will let the eldest princess support the little prince to take the throne, let the Gu family control the little prince, and find an opportunity to change the surname of the Ji family to Gu in the future."
She even thought of the motive and the crime.
"If weapons and dragon robes are found in the Gu family again, even if she has mouths all over her body, she can't explain it clearly." Princess Lin'an touched her crooked mouth, and the hatred deep in her eyes was revealed.
The Queen Mother pointed at her head and said, "If you were half as smart as this, you wouldn't have fallen into this situation."
Lin'an County Lady knew that the Queen Mother believed her words, and she was relieved and said bitterly, "In the past, I didn't use my brain because of my mother. Now if I don't be smarter, I don't know how I will die."
"Okay, you go back first. Such a big thing happened at home, and I can't do without you." The Queen Mother thanked the guests.
Lin'an County Lady achieved her goal and left the palace without staying.
The Queen Mother summoned her confidants and ordered them, "You hide the weapons and dragon robes in the Gu family. When it's midnight, go out in full force and bring the second son Gu back to the palace. After that... send troops to surround the Gu family."
When the little prince is found, use the little prince's life to force the queen to commit suicide, and the emperor can die immediately, so that she can rule the country from behind the curtain and release the prince.
"Yes." The confidant retreated.
——
It was getting darker and the dew was heavier, and everything was silent.
Hundreds of men in black walked through the dark night and sneaked into Gu's house.
Gu's house was shrouded in the night, dark, and no oil lamp was lit.
Ding——
Hand-to-hand combat, fighting sounds, screams, endless.
Gu Qingsong heard the sound of killing next door, suddenly opened his eyes, casually put on his clothes, grabbed a long sword and jumped to the next door, blood mist floated in the air, and corpses were everywhere.
Pulling out the long sword and throwing the scabbard, he exuded a murderous aura, cut a bloody path, and went to the backyard to find someone.
The yard was empty, no one lived.
Gu Qingsong was startled, raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, and realized that this was an empty city plan, luring people in and catching turtles in a jar.
The assassins were good at fighting and were a carefully cultivated force.
All of them were lost in Gu's house, which was to weaken the strength of the master behind this force.
Gu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief, but his face couldn't stop being gloomy, and he had a guess in his mind.
The youngest son died, and the Gu family adopted a child. Today, the queen's youngest son hid in the capital, and someone attacked the Gu family at night. It was hard not to think of Gu Jingyun's life experience.
This caused trouble.
Gu Qingsong was anxious, not knowing where they were hiding.
The Regent's Mansion?
Gu Qingsong remembered that Gu Huaizhi was the adopted son of the Regent.
He wanted to go, but was worried about bringing trouble. He was so depressed that he went in to fight with others to relieve his anger.
Some of the Queen Mother's secret guards also found that the Gu family was not in the mansion, so they sent a signal and fled outside the mansion.
The Qi family army was ambushed outside the mansion, and they killed anyone who came out.
Qi Shiliu jumped onto the wall: "Have you killed them all? Damn it, I haven't used my knife for blood for a long time, today it's so satisfying."
Qi Wu said with a straight face: "You have to be grateful to Lin..."
A few more people came out, Qi Wu stopped talking, killed three, and one escaped.
Qi Shiliu and Qi Wu exchanged glances and chased after them relentlessly.
The secret guards hid in the darkness after a few ups and downs.
Qi Shiliu and Qi Wu searched once, but found no one. As if to vent their anger, they cut down a tree next to them and continued to chase forward unwillingly.
After a while, the secret guard came out with his injured arm covered and went to the palace.
After a while, Qi Shiliu and Qi Wu came out, looked at the direction where the secret guards fled, rubbed their noses, sneered, and went to the Regent's Mansion.
——
Regent's Mansion.
The Gu family was all in the yard where Su Wan lived.
Several people sat in the armchairs, as quiet as chickens.
Mother Gu looked at this and that, and asked anxiously: "Why are we in the Regent's Mansion?" She thought of the news spread on the street, pursed her lips, looked at Gu Jingyun with complicated eyes, and stretched out her hand to hug him into her arms: "Is this related to the rumors?"
Gu Jingyun keenly noticed that everyone's eyes were all focused on him, and became at a loss.
"Mother..."
Mother Gu saw from Su Wan and Gu Huaizhi's faces that it was indeed because of Gu Jingyun's life experience. She looked at Gu Jingyun who was looking at her confusedly and anxiously, and the sourness in her heart surged up her nose. Her eyes were red and she touched Gu Jingyun's head.
Raising her son for so many years, one day he will return to his biological parents. For Mother Gu, it is like cutting flesh. Although she has known that this day will come, since he came to Beijing, she has never been prepared for Gu Jingyun to leave her.
Gu Jingyun became more flustered and grabbed Mother Gu's sleeve: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
There was a strong nasal tone in her words.
Mother Gu touched his face with her rough hands: "Jingyun, you... you are not my child." After saying this, she turned away, tears welled up, and she could not say anything more.
