Chapter 535

The assassination of the Prince shocked the court and beyond!

Even the Dowager Empress ordered Jade Fruit to make a trip to the Eastern Palace it was true that the Dowager Empress loathed Emperor Duanhua, but she was still very fond of the Crown Prince, her greatgreatgrandson.

Most importantly, Emperor Xianjia’s bloodline was not much to begin with, and even though the Dowager Empress might not support the Crown Prince’s ascension to the throne, she did not want to see anything happen to him.

“You over!” Jade fruit to the East Palace has not yet returned, Empress Su was called to the Qingxi Palace, the Empress Dowager looked cold and solemn, looked at her curtsy, and did not call up, said sternly, “your Su family in the late emperor’s dynasty was fully tolerated, the power of the original in the Wei family above! What’s more, I and Duanmu Song all stand on your side, embracing Su Wang is not hopeless, why also assassinate the crown prince? Do you intend to leave the late Emperor’s bloodline with only King Su?”

“Mother this is not fair!” Empress Su was not terrified, after a blessing raised her head and looked directly at the Dowager Empress on Dan Edward, her expression calm in anger implicitly, “The Wei family can take advantage of He Wenqiong, in the imperial capital left to lay a dragnet with the intention of plotting to murder the daughterinlaw’s only biological son, why can’t the daughterinlaw also lay hands on the Crown Prince?!”

“The Crown Prince is the bloodline of the late Emperor, is King Su not?!”

“Then why is it that the Wei family can kill King Su but the daughterinlaw can’t kill the Crown Prince?!”

“Mother is wise, she should understand that this time it was the Wei family that broke the rules first!!!”

“My Su Family, it’s just an eye for an eye!”

“It hurts for you to return an eye for an eye!” The Empress Dowager gazed at her, a sadness gradually surfacing in her eyes, “But have you thought about it? The reason why He Lou Duhan was able to assassinate the Crown Prince was all because he was Gu Shao’s grandson at least everyone except you all thought he was Gu Shao’s full grandson before today!”

“Now that the evidence of his assassination of the Crown Prince is clear, Gu Shao must be blamed!”

“Surely Gu Shao supported the Crown Prince, and his downfall is a good thing for those of you intent on supporting King Su to the throne!”

“But!”

“Who can pick up the burden of this world in a short period of time now in the imperial court besides Gu Shao?!”

“These past few years there has been another seizure of the Crown Prince and a fight for the throne, and how many storm clouds have risen up and down the court yet the populace still lives in peace and happiness!”

“It was the late emperor’s work since the late emperor was here!”

“After the late Emperor’s departure, it was Gu Shao’s ability to pacify the people!”

“If Gu Shao go bit, this world … you want to let the late emperor twenty years of blood into nothing?!”

“And don’t you forget that the Empress only has the Crown Prince’s own flesh and blood alive, in addition to not even having a daughter!”

“Once the Crown Prince doesn’t last this time, who knows what she’ll do He Wenqiong has always supported the Crown Prince!”

“In case the Empress, in order to avenge the Crown Prince, soldiers into the Imperial City …”

When the Dowager Empress said this, she was so angry that she shivered and slapped the table and shouted, “Are you trying to cause chaos in the world?!!!”

Empress Su, however, only calmly said, ”If He Wenqiong supports the Crown Prince again, it is always impossible for him to support a dead man to ascend to the throne, or a Crown Prince whose life and death are hard to predict! Therefore, it is hard to say whether he will continue to support the Crown Prince next! Since this is the case, how could there be a matter of soldiers entering the Imperial City?”

“As for this world”

“Duanhua’s removal from the throne is a foregone conclusion, and now the Crown Prince’s life is also in danger!”

“It is fitting that a new king should be installed early to reassure the people!”

The Empress Dowager pressed down the urge to storm into a rage and spoke out morosely, “Establishing a new ruler early? You might as well say establish King Su early but the Wei family had not allowed King Su to enter the imperial capital before, let alone now?!”

She said in a chilling voice, “Even if the Crown Prince doesn’t last this time, do you think that the Wei family will be willing to admit defeat and cede the throne to King Su? Don’t be ridiculous!”

“In light of the fact that the assassination of the Crown Prince was at the hands of your Su family, the Empress would rather kneel before that bastard Lu Hehao and be a lowly servant than to ever submit to King Su!”

“Your Su Family’s attempt to use this method to help King Su ascend to the throne as early as possible is nothing but delusional!!!”

When the Dowager Empress angrily scolded Empress Su, Gu Shao was taking the handkerchief handed by the old servant and wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth.

“Master you must be calm!” The old servant poured ginseng tea while sighing and advised, “If this matter is not handled well, our entire Hongzhou Gu Clan will be … You must take care of your body!”

The words are so, the old servant in fact also know, ask Gu Shao now calm down, for the whole Hongzhou Gu Clan consider, is really too unsympathetic to know that He Lou Duhan is nominally Gu Shao’s students, in fact Gu Shao is simply to treat him as a biological son as raised!

This could be seen from the fact that he had personally lived in Jiangnan for a long time in order to cultivate He Lou Duhan close to him back then, and he valued this grandson!

Twenty years of cultivation, twenty years of living together, twenty years of dedication, twenty years to look forward to the grandchildren to become a talented person unexpectedly, in the end, but it is the grandchildren, gave Gu Shao the most unforeseen and most painful and most ruthless blow!

Even though Gu Shao is used to weathering the storms, the ordinary sorrows and joys of the world have been like passing clouds, and how can they bear it?

But the old servant can’t help but advise plotting to kill a country’s Crown Prince, such a crime is not much worse than regicide, which is to be implicated in the family!

The Hongzhou Gu Clan was already depleted of talent, and after this disaster, it was unlikely that they would follow in the footsteps of the Jiangnan Hall!

And now the only one … who still expects to save the day for Hongzhou Gu is who else but Gu Shao?

“Do you think he is a gentle child or not?” This point the old servant understands, Gu Shao also understands, he took the ginseng tea and drank half a cup of it, feeling that his throat was no longer unable to stop flooding with blood, and spoke in a mute voice, “In these twenty years, I’ve been bringing him around, that is, I’m a son of the Gu Clan, and I’ve never had one that could get along with me for a longer period of time than him Even if it’s a stone, it should be warmed up, right?”

“What’s more, the death of Gently, although it was done by the Gu Clan …”

“But honestly, it’s also gently wrong in the first place!”

“How can the family reputation of the Hongzhou Gu Clan for many years be cut short in her hands alone?”

“Permit their mother and son to go free for nearly ten years is already a broken record, gently die is not unjust!”

“I’ve told him this over and over again and he recognizes it …”

“Even though he still commemorates his mother’s revenge and is uncomfortable in his heart, how can … how can …”

Speaking here, even Gu Shao can’t help but burst into tears, “You say, is it that he is not my grandson at all, is gently deceived? The year because the clan unanimously demanded to gently immersed in a pigsty, I had no trouble to send the pregnant gently to Jiangnan, asked Ji Nan to help take care of just not a few years later, Ji Nan died, although the edge of the child as I such as an uncle, but in the end he is young, and has not been back to Jiangnan, by the Su family to take advantage of the situation is also not impossible! … you say right?”

Light is the maiden name of Gu Shao’s daughter.

“The old slave feels the same way.” The old servant speculated that Gu Shao was speaking this way because he refused to believe that his own grandson would treat himself and the Gu family this way, so he would rather think that He Lou Duhan was not actually his own relative, but had been tricked by someone into dropping him.

He sighed darkly in his heart, said warmly, “Good in the people have been held by the East Palace, not afraid to ask for traces in time by the way, Jingmin county master has been pregnant before … this? ”

He Lou Duhan assassinated the Crown Prince Gu Shao and the Gu family have to worry about being implicated, his wife and unborn child that’s even more so!

The problem is, everyone knows that Jingmin County Lord Pei Yourui, is the pearl of the Grand Princess of Jin!

“Are we still considering this now?” Gu Shao sniffed and laughed out miserably, “If the Grand Princess of Jin can turn her back on the Imperial Empress for Prefect Jing Min, then there’s even more reason to turn her back on the Imperial Empress for Prefect Jing Hui since she’s an enemy across the board, do you think that the Imperial Empress, and the Empress in particular, will still care about the love between aunt and nephew? ”

He stood up trembling, “Just, bring me the fur coat … After such a big incident, even if the Empress hasn t sent someone to take me until now, I should be sensible and take the initiative to go into the palace to give a statement!”

As Gu Shao said, the Empress and Empress, especially Empress Wei, certainly would not let Pei Yourui off the hook after knowing that He Lou Duhan was the assassin!

Just by imperial decree to go to He Lou’s house to take people’s guards, kicked open the door, all the way to the backyard search is no one, interrogated a few grannies only to know: Pei Yourui has long left!

With He Lou Duo Han almost before and after feet out of the door before He Lou Duo Han due to the prudence of the East Palace guards, had waited for a long time in front of the door of the East Palace, this period of time is enough for Pei You Rui to go out of the city to hide!

The fact is exactly the same, the forbidden guards traced all the way to the north gate, and finally confirmed that after Pei Yourui left the house, she rode in a carriage without the He Loufu logo, and exited the city from the north gate, and this carriage, which was found thirty miles outside of the city, the people in the carriage were nowhere to be found!

Because of the cold and snowy weather at this time, when the forbidden guards chased the carriage to the shore, all the traces had been covered by snow.

The person who picked up Pei You Rui was obviously very experienced, because even the mastiff that was deployed afterward, after tracking for a while, also lost its way because the target was too spread out.

“This was obviously done by the Su family!” Those in the know thought so in their hearts, “After all, to have a darkie of He Lou Duhan’s caliber risk his life in an assassination attempt, how could one not leave a descendant for him?”

But in fact, at this time, the Su family was also wondering, “Who picked up Prefect Jingmin before our people arrived at the He Lou residence?!”

Su Shaoge’s face was very ugly: ”Investigate! It must be investigated to the end! He Lou Duhan sacrificed his life for my Su Clan, his wife and unborn heir must not be allowed to fail in any way!!!”

“Sister Pei, we meet again!” Up and down the imperial capital, while almost everyone was searching for Pei Yourui within a small manor not far outside the imperial capital, Pei Yourui was waking up leisurely.

She just woke up to a familiar face: a calf.

No, I should say A11.

Due to the reason that is in the growth period, he is taller than the last time we met, light robe and slow belt, waist hanging jade, look as if it is a rich family from the noble gentleman, speech and demeanor also has a clear book breath, where to see out of the wind and snow in a few into the servant corpse of the woeful?

If not for the two get along for several years, once like siblings, Pei Yourui can not believe that this person is their own as a poor orphan of the child.

“It’s you?” Pei Yourui alertly and instinctively shielded her belly and said in a low voice, “What do you want to do again?”

“Sister need not worry!” Seeing this, A11 thoughtfully took a small step backward, signaling that he meant no harm, and then said, “This time, it’s not that I’m trying to scheme against you in fact, if I hadn’t made the right decision and utilized the connections that I had saved up when I was at your side to bring you here quickly after mesmerizing you, you’d have already been imprisoned! would have been imprisoned by now!”

He mildly said, “At that time even if you can stand it, the child in your belly, how can you stand it? What’s more, whether the crown prince can be saved is still a problem, once it can’t be saved, or fall into some kind of disease, the Empress Mother must go crazy at that time, you …”

“What are you talking about?!” Pei Yourui had suddenly lost consciousness after her husband left the house and woke up in the hands of A11, so she had no idea that such a big event had happened in the few short hours she had passed out!

At this moment, she was so shocked that she subconsciously covered her mouth!
