Chapter 625 Jealousy between mother and daughter erupts
Seeing that the fish has been bitten, Zhang Xuan secretly retreated and hurriedly stood up to refuse.
"How can the whereabouts of the national teacher be leaked? This will lead to death!" He waved his hands with horror.
Gu Changying was even more excited and stepped forward, "So you mean that you can get it? But you dare not give up?"
"This..." Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then he seemed to be deflated, showing the regret after letting the cat out of the bag.
He fell back into the chair.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
"Although I participated in the drawing of the itinerary map, few people know the map. Once it is leaked, I will definitely be suspected!" Zhang Xuan covered his face, and his whole body was full of resistance.
Seeing him so frightened, Gu Changying became even more convinced, her eyes were terribly bright.
But she had no idea that while Zhang Xuan was covering his face, a cunning look flashed from his eyes, waiting for her to take the bait.
Sure enough, after suppressing his excitement, Gu Changying followed his fear and ordered someone to quickly get two packs of secret snacks.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhang. As long as I don't say anything about this, no one will know. It was you who leaked the itinerary map."
"What's more..." Gu Changying paused, pursed her lips arrogantly, raised her hand and said, "Don't you want this?"
Zhang Xuan looked up and saw her holding up a bag of snacks. He immediately felt disgusted.
However, he still pretended to be excited, rushed over and shouted.
"It's a secret snack!"
"I want to eat snacks, please give it to me,
Your Majesty!" "Okay, if you want it, then take Mu Yihan's itinerary and exchange it with me!" Gu Changying looked proud and weighed the thing in his hand.
Zhang Xuan clenched his back teeth and knelt down to answer, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't let this discourage you, no matter what you want, I will do my best to get it for you!" Gu
Changying immediately clapped his hands in approval, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning behind his ears.
You see, opium is a good thing. With it to control the court officials, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things.
Just like this, in less than a day, the pre-prepared route map finally made a big detour and was delivered to Gu Changying's house. After
so much effort to get it, Gu Changying no longer suspected it.
When she unfolded the scroll, the excitement on her face almost overflowed.
"I never thought that I would wait for such a long time and finally get this good opportunity today!"
Gu Changying stared at the picture and suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha, Mu Yihan actually wants to learn from the emperors of past dynasties and go north to visit the people privately? Then I will make his trip a journey of no return. It's time to get back everything I lost!"
"Someone come!" Gu Changying laughed so hard that her lip balm spread and stained the corners of her lips slyly, "Quick, prepare paper and ink for me. I want to write a letter to my uncle and inform him to bring his troops to Beijing as soon as possible!"
The old housekeeper rushed in and responded happily.
He hunched over and began to grind the ink, and great hope appeared in his cloudy eyes.
Finally, the great plan that the Gu family has been planning for generations has finally arrived at the perfect opportunity.
Not to mention this old servant's expectations, I'm sure that the Gu family in Southern Province will be overjoyed when they hear the news.
At this time, Murong Qing also ran out of the house, hugged Gu Changying's arm and shouted.
"Mother, mother, are my great-uncle and others going to Beijing?"
"Then when he sits on the throne, can I return to the palace and continue to be a princess as before?"
Gu Changying tightly grasped the letter paper, her eyes trembling with anticipation.
"That's right, Qing'er, the glory that belongs to us will be back in due time. This is what my uncle promised my mother. He promised it in person... I believe him..." Gu Changying said in a coquettish voice, with a hint of spring on her face.
Murong Qing didn't notice her mother's strangeness, pushed aside the old housekeeper, and took the initiative to come over to grind the ink.
"After my great uncle ascends the throne, you may not have the chance to continue to be the queen." She said with great anticipation, "However, my great uncle loves Qing'er the most. He used to praise my skin as white as cream, especially my waist and legs. He also
said that I will not lose to you when I grow up." "So I can ask him to keep me by his side. Then you can come to see me often and still have the opportunity to enter the palace. Haha, mother, tell me, does this count as you taking advantage of me?" Murong Qing raised her chin and acted like a spoiled child as usual.
But she spoke without restraint, but she didn't notice that Gu Changying's face suddenly changed.
Uncle praised her... her skin was as white as cream...
her legs and waist were even more so...
Gu Changying suddenly realized something, her eyes froze, and jealousy instantly covered her face.
She slowly curled her fingers, and suddenly raised her palm with sharp nails, and slapped Murong Qing hard!
"Ah——" Murong Qing was caught off guard, her face was scratched, and blood was half of her face.
"Mother, mother, what are you doing!" She lay on the ground and screamed, as if she couldn't believe it, and her crying was mixed in.
Gu Changying didn't coax her like before, but his eyes seemed to be poisoned, staring wide and fierce.
"What did you say just now? What skin was as white as cream, what was it because of you!"
Murong Qing was a little stunned.
Gu Changying was immersed in a fierce jealous fire. She grabbed the inkstone and threw it at the maids at the door.
"Get out of here! Now!"
After everyone in the room screamed and left, she asked hoarsely, "What do you mean by what you said?"
"Could it be that when we were in Xiuse Jiayuan, your great-uncle... also entered your warm room and saw your body?" Gu Changying's throat tightened, and her voice was like a beast protecting its food.
When Xiuse Jiayuan was mentioned, the eyes of both mother and daughter darkened for a moment. After all, that was a very shameful day.
Murong Qing covered her face with blood and was already crying breathlessly.
She cried until her voice broke, "So what if he's been there before? Just because my great uncle has been to my mother's warm room, does that mean he's not allowed to be in Qing'er's?"
"Your Gu family forced me to enter the Xiusejiayuan under the title of empress and princess, and to use my beauty to serve others and win over people from the other three families. Those days were so disgusting. If it weren't for my great uncle coming to comfort me every night, I don't know how I would have survived." Murong Qing's eyes were full of bloodshot and a bit of resentment. Comfort
every night...
After hearing these four words, Gu Changying seemed to be struck by lightning, and her body almost fell backwards.
Jealousy, grievance, pain, and a strong sense of betrayal, like a volcano, exploded in her heart.
What?
Could it be that my uncle had also had a physical relationship with Qing'er?
But he clearly said that she was the only one in his heart, so why would he do that to his daughter...
Gu Changying's tears wet her clothes, thinking back to when she was a young girl, she was just an insignificant and ignorant girl from a side branch.
It was her uncle who had just inherited the Gu family at that time who first saw her in the countryside and brought her back to his side to raise her. Only then did she become a noble lady and enter the palace to become the empress.
If it weren't for her uncle, she would never have been able to get involved in any wealth, and now she would probably be just an ordinary woman wandering in the countryside.
Although Gu Changying has been serving old man Murong over the years, it was all for her uncle Gu Pingzhi!
Her uncle had promised her that as long as she played chess by old man Murong's side, he would marry her in style when he took power one day!
Gu Changying had been weaving this beautiful dream day and night, and it had been her greatest comfort for more than ten years. But just now, this dream was shattered because of her daughter's words...
Although she knew that there was no shortage of women around her uncle, those people could be anyone, but not her daughter!
Gu Changying staggered to her feet, staring at Murong Qing's face, which was 70% similar to hers but younger, and her heart ached even more.
Possession and jealousy swept through her heart like a storm, covering the place that originally belonged to maternal love...
"No, it's not my uncle's fault!" Gu Changying grabbed her hair and murmured, "If you want to blame someone, blame Qing'er for being too much like me, so my uncle can't control himself..."
At this time, Murong Qing saw that her mother looked horrible, she hurriedly crawled to the door and was about to call the old housekeeper to call a doctor.
"My face hurts
so much, Wuwu, I can't leave a scar, housekeeper, go find a doctor, quickly!" Gu Changying came back to her senses, she hurriedly held Murong Qing, but after seeing the old housekeeper, she just stuffed the written letter into his hand.
"Don't do anything else, just send someone to deliver the secret letter to my uncle as fast as possible, and wait until he arrives in Beijing to discuss everything."
Gu Changying wiped away her tears, her face returned to its beautiful state, but her eyes lacked the kindness she had before.
"As for Qing'er." She slowly lowered her eyes, and her long fingers pinched and stroked Murong Qing's wound.
In Murong Qing's frightened eyes, Gu Changying gritted her teeth and smiled bitterly, saying word by word, "Qing'er's appearance is not inferior to that of the queen mother. Since she is a beauty, why does she need to cover up such a small wound?"
"Come here!" She said coldly, "Send the princess back to her room. She is not allowed to go out without my permission, and no one is allowed to visit her, including doctors!"
