Chapter 536

“Why would my husband want to assassinate the Crown Prince?!” A few moments later, Pei Yourui, who had listened to A11’s explanation, had obvious skepticism emerge in her eyes, “On the contrary, he and His Highness the Crown Prince are fellow masters and brothers I don’t believe you, what the hell are you trying to do?!”

A eleven smiled and said: ”Sister, I really didn’t lie to you! In fact, even we are surprised that the Su family has placed such an important pawn beside Minister Gu, to say the least, it is also He Lou Duhan’s bad fate, if it were not for the Su family’s primary goal right now, which is to support King Su’s ascension to the throne, his level of darkness, the degree of importance is only afraid of than the Fufeng Hall’s firstborn children is not much worse than it is! It is impossible to sacrifice him at this time.”

“But now that He Wenqiong is in control of the forbidden army, His Highness King Su can’t enter the imperial capital at all, and since His Majesty’s departure has been finalized, and a new ruler will be chosen before too long, the Su family has no choice but to resort to this plan!”

Speaking here he sighed, “The Su family will obviously be ruthless although it is said that He Lou Duhan was able to suppress Su Zhirong this Fu Feng Hall second son to become the first prize winner, it is dipped in Gu Shao’s light, but honestly speaking, his own talent, and Su Zhirong is also considered to be a thousand years of each other! Such a talent, even if the valve reads the depth of the bottom, also belongs to the extremely rare. Now in order to pave the way for King Su had to give up, even I heard for Fufeng Hall heartache!”

Pei Yourui was stunned for a moment, but still shook her head: ”Don’t you talk nonsense here and slander my husband! He is clearly the direct grandson of Minister Gu, the bloodline is linked, is not the Su family can be bought? You have what purpose despite say, now I’m in your hands, can do since will not bargain with you, can not do you do not dwell on, despite the hand is if you still think I was treating you well, at that time give me a pain in the ass!”

“This matter is now in the Imperial Capital, why should I lie to sister?” A eleven revealed an aggravated look, “Just as sister said, now that sister has been received to me, you also know my true identity, so why would I still want to plant evidence on He Lou Duhan?”

What he said made sense, but Pei Yourui still refused to believe it, “What reason would my husband have to betray Minister Gu for the Su family!”

“He Lou Duhan’s life is unknown to outsiders, but sister, as the wife of a married couple, surely knows something about it.” A eleven laughed, “He was not born in the Gu family, but lived outside with his birth mother, and only after he showed his talent was he recommended by his mother to Gu Shao, and from then on, he gained Gu Shao’s attention and teachingsthat is to say, before he followed Gu Shao into the academy, their mother and son had been dependent on each other, with no support from their kin.”

“There are too many opportunities for the Su family to do tricks in between!”

“But husband grew up in Jiangnan!” Pei Yourui immediately retorted, “When Minister Gu wanted to send his motherinlaw away from Hongzhou, why did he choose Jiangnan? It’s because Minister Gu’s closest friend, Song Jinan, is the head of the Song Clan in Jiangnan, and his power in Jiangnan is deeply rooted, so he can take good care of their mother and son!”

“Husband told me that if it weren’t for the fact that Duke Ji Nan died before he could even enter the academy, originally Granny had intended for him to study under Duke Ji Nan!”

“The Su Family is no longer powerful, but its roots are ultimately far away in Qingzhou, so how can it do anything in Jiangnan?!”

A eleven smiled and said, “Sister also said, He Lou Duhan not to Gu Shao door before, Ji Nan Gong died. His son Song Yuan took over the Jiangnan Hall, this master’s mind, but from the beginning to the death, are in his wife, Princess Wei on the body, to his own daughter are not much pity it, let alone did not look at the face of the world sister? Or far away in Jiangnan’s world sister?”

Pei Yourui was silent for a while and said, “So, you’re captivating me to come here this time because the Burning Quinoa Hall wants to deal with the Fu Feng Hall?”

“Sister and relax and stay here!” A11 didn’t answer this question, only smiled and said, “This time, everyone can guess that He Lou Duhan is a member of Su family it’s a pity that the Empress doesn’t have any evidence, so she can’t do anything about Su family for the time being, but as He Lou Duhan’s wife, and pregnant with his child, elder sister is definitely going to be dragged into this! The Empress has already decreed that she will go all out to search for you! You are now living here, but it is safer than being picked up by the Su family.”

Said here clapped his hands, two servants dressed as women walked in, A eleven convergence of the color of the smile, no longer to Pei Yourui when talking to the color of peace, light voice command, “serve Pei sister, but there is a lapse, only you two are asked, understand it?!”

A eleven although Pei You Rui said not all untrue, but there is one thing he did say the truth: the emperor and queen now in order to give the crown prince revenge, nearly crazy, relying on the benefits of the forbidden army, the imperial capital and the left near, including the Jihou House, all they know the Su family property, all turned upside down!

If Pei You Rui was really picked up by Su Shao Ge, it would be difficult for her not to reveal her whereabouts!

But no one thought that the one who picked her up was the Liu family’s Burning Quinoa Hall’s secret guards so after three consecutive days and nights of searching, Empress Wei had to accept the fact that that even the Su family didn’t know Pei Yourui’s whereabouts right now!

“Where is He Lou Duhan?” Empress Wei pinched her brow, she did not close her eyes in the past three days, on the one hand, deploying manpower to track down Pei You Rui, on the other hand, guarding the Crown Prince in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation, to send the Crown Prince down to the Yellow Springs, and on the other hand, she also had to keep an eye on the court, to prevent the Su family from falling down the well in fact, the Su family did do so, Qiu Shuxia, at the meeting of the court on the second day of the assassination, openly proposed, “Now that the Crown Prince is not known to be alive or dead, how can we trample the throne? In the court meeting the day after the assassination of the crown prince, Qiu Shuxia openly put forward, “Now the crown prince’s life and death is unknown, how can we trample on the throne?”

Although finally suppressed by the Wei family side of the joint efforts, but the three days of the court, around this matter is also extremely intense: even Wei Xi, the Crown Prince’s grandfather, came to visit yesterday, implied that Empress Wei, if the Crown Prince in the today can not show significant improvement, then should start preparing to support the King of Shu!

As for the king of Shu and Su Wang relationship is very good, but with the crown prince pinch a this problem is nothing to worry about, a not yet tied hair, there is no strong family, the heart is still very young prince, Wei family if you can not take him that is also white mixed for so many years!

In short, whether for the Wei family, or for the Empress personally, the throne should never fall into the hands of King Su!

“He still refuses to confess.” Xin Jian handed over ginseng tea and said carefully, “The person who executed him said that if it continues like this, I’m afraid he won’t live through tonight …”

“Can’t let him die just like that!” The Empress took the ginseng tea, but did not drink it, and commanded in a deep voice, “Call the eunuchs to take a look and diagnose him how can we hang on to his life!”

Xinqian answered and comforted again, “The slave girl sees that His Highness the Crown Prince’s breathing is much better than it was half a day ago, I think His Highness will definitely get better!”

When Empress Wei heard this, a sad color appeared in her eyes and she choked a bit and said, “But let’s hope so! After all, it’s this Palace as a mother who didn’t protect him well!”

The two masters and servants were silent for a while, and the Empress steeled herself and asked again, “How is the situation at the court meeting this morning?”

“Some people proposed to set up the commoner Lu Hehao or the King of Shu, but the argument did not yield results.” Xinqian paused before saying, “There were also people who proposed to hold Prime Minister Gu responsible, but the same argument arosebecause Prime Minister Gu is now in the Imperial Prison, and Minister Wei Shangshu is in charge of this matter, so after a fight, it too was left unsettled for the time being.”

When Gu Shao entered the palace to ask for forgiveness, Empress Wei had calmed down a bit, so instead of scolding him, she held down her anger and comforted him with a few words.

Having thus conferred in peace, Gu Shao decided to cooperate fully with the Empress he had walked into the imperial prison on his own, and in the present situation he could not afford not to go.

But in reality Empress Wei couldn’t wait for him not to go, if he was in the courtroom, rushing to his guilty heart towards the Crown Prince at the moment, think also know, must be all out to help the Crown Prince.

But once Gu Shao was imprisoned like this, the people who originally supported the Crown Prince could only be led by Wei Xi.

Wei Xi has been dormant for too long, and his reputation in the courtroom cannot be compared to Gu Shao.

Even in terms of aura, if he hadn’t beaten Qiu Shuxia in the last courtroom brawl, he would be inferior to Qiu Shuxia.

Coupled with the fact that the Crown Prince was seriously injured and his life and death were uncertain which made everyone worry about whether or not he would be able to ascend to the throne alive the critical nature of the situation on the Crown Prince’s side at the moment could be imagined!

“Let’s leave it at that for now!” Empress Wei pressed the corner of her forehead with a headache, “By the way, on the side of the Jinxiu Hall, can you also keep an eye on it? Maybe the Su family will ask them to house Pei You Rui?”

Xin Jian hurriedly said, “Not only the Jinxiu Hall, because the remnants of the Jiangnan Hall defected to Grandma Song two days ago, the slave girl also made people to check, but … there is no trace of the Jingmin County Lord!”

The Empress was stunned at her words, and suddenly said, “Speaking of which, the Burning Quinoa Hall and the Ming Pei Hall, also due to Old Lady Duanmu, have a close relationship with Marquis Yan’s residence do you think it could be that these two have gotten rid of someone?”

“Slave girl immediately go to check!” Xin fiber is about to say so, the queen but spat out a sigh of frustration, said, “In fact, Pei You Rui catch to catch are not too big a thing, that He Lou Duhan lurking in the side of the Gu phase has been twenty years long, under the phase of the night and day, even the Gu phase never suspected that he, deceived pillows and how difficult it is? Pei You Rui’s temperament, the Palace also slightly know, this is not particularly scheming people … want to open the gap from her, the responsibility of the Su family, I guess the hope is also small!”

As for Pei You Rui is pregnant with He Lou Duo Han’s child Fengzhou Wei origin of the Empress is very clear, like He Lou Duo Han such an important secret son, Fufeng Hall on him vigorously cultivate at the same time, the jurisdiction of the means are bound to be endless!

After all, if the Su family is not desperate to use him, according to the normal development, he is expected to be a vassal in the future to worship the prime minister.

At that time, in terms of apparent power, perhaps the Su family was inferior to him, so why should he listen to the Su family again?

Therefore, the Su family in the cultivation of him at the same time, but also will certainly give him a layer after layer of shackles, to ensure that even if he is the ultimate person can not betray the Su family therefore want to rely on Pei Yourui and his heir to blackmail He Lou Dukhan to turn back, in fact, is also little hope.

The reason why Empress Wei still ordered people to look for Pei You Rui is just doing her best to listen to the fate of God.

Xin fiber looked at the Empress gloomy appearance heart difficult, can not help but whispered, “horizontal Su family including Ji marquis residence, these two days have been we searched several times! Why don’t we simply put Su Shaoge those few people …”

“No!” Empress Wei frowned at the words, but categorically shook her head, “The roots of the Su family are in Qingzhou, just killing Su Shaoge and the others will certainly take the heat out of Cui’er, but it will definitely give King Su a reason not to come to the imperial capital by then, those sons and daughters of the Su family in Qingzhou and their staffs will rush to assist King Su, plus the Duke of Jigu Early years in the military accumulation of … you think that only with the area of the forbidden army, to block the scattered throughout the army of Da Rui join forces?!”

This is where the advantage of deep roots lies, pulling one hair and affecting the whole body, even if you want to burn with them with jade and stone, it is often difficult to die with them because they are too large.

“Now but I hope that Radiant Child can get better.” Empress Wei whispered, “Otherwise, we will support King Shu to ascend to the throne trying to eradicate the entire Su family without the help of imperial power is impossible!!!”

“Your Highness, don’t worry! Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling well, the forbidden army is still guarding inside and outside, and King Su’s wish to enter the imperial capital alive is also delusional!” Xin Jian comforted, “Let’s see how the Su family will be destroyed when the basket is empty!”

Empress Wei, however, sighed long and hard and thought to herself, “I don’t know how well Father talked to He Wenqiong. But I hope this person won’t be shaken by the Crown Prince’s serious injury!”
