This voice...
Everyone present was startled and turned to look at the source of the voice. They saw Gu Jinke slowly taking off the hat that was used to cover her face and throwing it to the servant next to her. She also tore off the outer robe that was covering her body.
She looked at Xian Guijun, the Queen, and the Empress with a smile on her face. Her gaze swept over the three of them and finally returned to Xian Guijun.
"That's great, Mr. Xiangui. Please tell me about it." She smiled.
"What kind of infamy would I be satisfied with?"
Her sudden appearance was already a big shock. Xian Guijun was stunned for a moment, his face full of fear: "Why are you here?"
Shouldn't she be leading the army, about to reach the city gate, and then run into the Third Princess, and then be charged with treason?
How could she be here?
Not only Lord Xian Gui, but also the Queen and the Queen were very surprised.
Although the Queen had her own plans, she did not discuss them with Gu Jinke. Gu Jinke was also someone she had overlooked, and she instinctively became defensive when she saw that Gu Jinke was able to appear in the palace so quietly.
How can I allow others to sleep peacefully beside my bed?
But soon, Gu Jinke seemed to guess what she was thinking. He glanced at her lightly and calmly. The queen's defensiveness deflated like a punctured balloon.
She suddenly remembered Xian Guijun's previous ridicule, and also thought of her own body.
Although the Queen was curious, he was happy that Gu Jinke was here. As long as Gu Jinke ascended the throne, he would not lose.
The expressions of the people were different, but Gu Jinke just felt mocking.
Just now she saw this group of people looking so affectionate, but now it seems... She shook her head secretly and walked forward.
"Why am I here? Didn't Xian Guijun and the Third Princess miss me and insisted that I come back? Now that I'm back, are you guys especially happy?"
She bent down, her face full of smiles, but Xian Guijun shrank back, but soon he reacted, glanced at the empress, and then said to Gu Jinke: "Are you here to protect the empress? To check on her safety? You are really a filial daughter! But come here, I have a secret to tell you."
He glanced at the empress with hatred in his eyes. He wanted to tell her in person that Gu Jinke was a shield, so that the empress would be abandoned by her friends and relatives and watch her daughter hate her.
He didn't know that the news was spread by Gu Jinke, and his expression towards Gu Jinke was very kind and amiable at this time.
After he said this, the empress began to feel guilty again. Yes, her daughter was worried about her safety and risked her life to break into the palace to confirm her safety. But how could she have doubted her again? The empress's guilt towards Gu Jinke reached its peak all of a sudden. At this time, looking at Xian Guijun's eyes full of hatred, what was there to not understand? This vicious husband wanted to sow discord between her and her daughter!
She even thought about their previous argument. Maybe Gu Jinke didn't hear it? There shouldn’t be any. There was no special expression on Gu Jinke’s face.
However, the Queen still felt panic for the first time in a long time, because Xian Guijun was about to speak again. She could only stare at him with wide eyes and scold him: "Poisonous husband! Princess, you must not listen to him, this man is full of nonsense."
Gu Jinke could roughly guess what she was thinking, but his heart suddenly calmed down when he saw the Queen's defensive look.
She probably doesn't have such a relative, so why force it? She just needed to do her duty steadily. The thoughts in her heart changed, and she immediately turned around and replied, "I know, Mother Queen."
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't want to leave this time bomb here, so she ordered someone to drag him away.
When Xian Guijun saw that Gu Jinke was able to appear here safely, he had a rough idea in his mind that Gu Jinxiu could not beat this princess. Moreover, the empress might be on her side now. This plan would definitely not succeed. It can even be said that it has failed now.
He immediately considered his own fate, saw the Queen's true nature, and did such a thing. Would the Queen really tolerate him? If he lives, he will even bring trouble to others. He curled his lips coldly, suddenly looked at the princess and the queen, and said loudly: "Your Highness, your mother has chosen Jinxiu as the future heir, and the next heir is Lao Wu, not you!"
When the queen heard what he said, she was so furious that she stood up from the couch and walked straight towards the noble lord: "Poisonous husband!!"
The noble lord was not afraid. Now that the situation was hopeless, he had to calm down no matter what. "And Queen, what's the point of you being jealous of me all your life? Your wife doesn't love you, and your eldest daughter is dead. Your Majesty, you love that servant Yuan."
He rolled his eyes, his expression was a little crazy, and he smiled strangely at the Queen, "Maybe your eldest princess was deliberately killed by His Majesty? To make room for Yuan Shiren's child. Maybe His Majesty also wants you to die, to make room for Yuan Shiren... haha..."
His voice stopped abruptly, and then he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was the Queen holding a jewel-studded dagger and stabbing it into his chest.
Blood spurted out, even all over the queen. The queen looked grim: "Bitch, poisonous husband!"
Xian Guijun's face froze. He looked down at the dagger on his chest with some disbelief. Finally, he chuckled as if he understood something. Blood kept gushing out of his mouth, and his face turned pale rapidly. He reached out to touch the empress's neck: "Your Majesty, I admire you..."
The Queen's body stiffened, but Xian Guijun's hand dropped softly, and his long robe sleeves slid down, revealing his hand holding a dagger, and the tip of the dagger pierced into the Queen's body.
The Queen was startled and shouted, "Help me!"
He hurried forward, but the queen couldn't die now.
Gu Jinke hadn't expected that Xianguijun could fight back like this. Her hands moved, and finally she ran over in panic: "Someone, help me!"
However, the Queen took the initiative, and Xian Guijun was seriously injured. The assassination location was not accurate and the force was not strong, so it was not fatal, but it was also very serious for the Queen. She had been ill for a long time and was very weak. She was able to run down from the bed and kill Xian Guijun just now, but it was all thanks to Xian Guijun's stimulation. Now her strength was exhausted and she was injured, and she fell down limply.
In the last moments of his life, what he saw was the empress falling on him.
He looked dazed, as if he had returned to the year when he first married the empress. The first time he saw his wife was on their wedding night. The pretty girl lifted his veil and smiled at him: "You are so pretty."
And he fell in love with her at first sight.
He curled his lips, fell to the ground with a bang, and stopped breathing. The Queen fell on him.
The palace was in a state of chaos. The empress finally managed to hold on to her breath and issued an order: "Princess, clear the court of emperors! Everything should be done with discretion!"
Gu Jinke was just waiting for this sentence. The imperial physician had already rushed over in a panic, applied medicine and bandaged the empress, and fed her medicine. When everything was done, they retreated. Gu Jinke also wanted to go out of the palace to take a look and deal with the third princess. She stood up and was about to leave, but unexpectedly the empress lying on the bed grabbed her sleeve.
Gu Jinke was startled, then turned around and asked: "Is there anything else that Queen Mother wants to tell me?"
The Queen's lips trembled but no sound came out. She looked at Gu Jinke, and finally slowly loosened her hand. Her face became a little pale. In fact, she wanted to ask, did Gu Jinke believe what Xian Guijun said last? She also wanted Gu Jinke to spare Gu Jinxiu's life, but her lips moved and she couldn't say anything in the end.
But looking at her expression, maybe it's the blood, or maybe it's the mother-daughter connection. Gu Jinke suddenly understood, but how ridiculous it was!
She looked at the Queen's lips moving constantly. The suppressed hatred that she thought had subsided was surging up again.
She originally wanted to live in peace and leave some dignity for the Queen, but now she doesn't want to do that anymore. Why? The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her phoenix eyes, like the queen's, were cold and clear: "Your Majesty!"
She called her, and the empress was struck by lightning when she heard this address. As if it was not enough, Gu Jinke smiled and said, "I understand what your majesty means. You want to save the life of the third sister, right? Don't worry, I will."
She even wanted to bring the third princess, Gu Jinxiu, to the empress to show her filial piety.
What’s the point of death? Life is fun.
The Queen's fingers were still on her sleeve. Gu Jinke smiled, but his slender fingers brushed past her mercilessly. The Queen's hand dropped weakly. Gu Jinke strode out of the palace. The Queen looked at her merciless back and suddenly felt a great panic in her heart. Tears fell down involuntarily.
Nothing made her realize more clearly than this moment that she had completely lost her daughter. The guilt and sadness surging in her heart completely overwhelmed her, and she regretted it.
But Gu Jinke didn't care.
The Queen had already noticed the actions and thoughts of Xian Guijun. But by the time she realized it, it was already too late. She already had a chronic illness, and Xian Guijun had tampered with the medicine, causing the empress's body to completely deteriorate. It was too late to remedy the situation.
The empress decided to take advantage of the situation and cut off the medicine, but pretended not to notice, hoping to see what Xian Guijun would do next. Unexpectedly, the Third Princess had evil intentions and got involved, even wanting to kill Gu Jinke at the same time. However, the Third Princess had no military power, so a head-on attack was impossible for her. They had no choice but to find another way. First, they would restrain those people in the court who would definitely help Gu Jinke, and then frame Gu Jinke. It would be best if they could make the empress misunderstand them and get rid of her with her help.
The idea was good, but the two collaborators were insincere, did not fully see through the Queen's true nature, and underestimated Gu Jinke, so they failed miserably.
Gu Jinke has already secretly sent out a signal, and now people are trying to catch Gu Jinxiu outside.
After she received the letter that day, she actually made two preparations. She asked Li Yuxin to disguise herself as her and take Xun Ji to the barracks to inspect the troops. However, she herself took Qiao Xi back to the capital first to investigate the truth.
If it is a trap, Xun Ji and the others can just escape. If it is real, then they can lead the troops to fight.
Therefore, the soldiers arrived at the city gate one step later than Gu Jinke. After receiving Gu Jinke's message, they immediately rushed forward under the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials.
Gu Jinxiu finally walked out of the imperial mausoleum. According to her plan and the "truth" told to her by Xian Guijun, she thought that she would soon receive the imperial edict, and then manipulate the guards and imperial guards of the capital to deal with Gu Jinke openly, and then ascend the throne. However, she did not expect that the imperial edict she received was completely contrary to her intention, and the soldiers outside were also attacking fiercely.
She had no military power and basically no ability to resist. Instead, she became a sandwich. Both sides were looking for her, so she could only run. The reason she was able to control the city gate of the capital this time was because of a person she had met and done her a favor to. This person was the prefect of the capital. Now the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope, so she took advantage of the prefect's connections and familiarity in the city and fled all the way.
Gu Jinke rode his horse to the city gate and heard this news. Xun Ji felt a little guilty for not catching this person immediately. However, Gu Jinke smiled and said, "Don't worry, the monk may escape, but the temple cannot."
But I didn't expect that the prefect of the capital city was still so loyal. In the book, she helped Gu Jinxiu and allowed Gu Jinke to successfully rebel. Now that things have gone off track and Gu Jinxiu has lost power to this extent, she still chooses to help Gu Jinke.
Before, Gu Jinke had only asked her to help find the assassin, but she hadn't found any clues for Gu Jinke. She really treated him differently.
Gu Jinke secretly complained: "Forget it, go and arrest them. Well, try to keep them alive."
Xun Ji responded and gave the order.
The winter in the capital seemed to be almost over. Standing outside on horseback, Gu Jinke did not feel that cold at all. Looking at the torches burning in the city in the dark night, his eyes softened a little.
While the soldiers were busy arresting people, Gu Jinke was thinking about other things. This time he was planning to frame her main force.
The two at the top, one Xian Guijun is dead, and the other Gu Jinxiu is on the run. Then, who will cooperate with them to frame him... Gu Jinke suddenly thought of someone, and his beautiful phoenix eyes became dangerously sharp.
Gong Zhongxing!
She immediately summoned someone to come over and ask, "Where are the people from Gongzhong's family now?"
The whereabouts of court ministers were strictly controlled at that time. The people below were well prepared and reported it immediately.
Gu Jinke looked at the location reported, his eyes turned cold, and he heard someone muttering, "Master Xue is also there."
Gu Jinke frowned. Xue Luan was there too? She quickly jumped on her horse and said, "Let's go to the other village!"
In the villa, the news is slow and the place is peaceful. Under the dark courtyard wall, the tall weeds are pulled aside and a head cautiously pokes out.
"Shh!" Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, with a hint of teasing.
As soon as he stuck his head out, his mouth was covered. He looked up with wide eyes.
The author has something to say:
The Queen made me so mad that I decided to torture her again! ! In fact, Xianguijun is quite pitiful. The king and queen will also be tortured. In these few chapters, they are lined up one by one!
But my baby daughter doesn’t care anymore. I am her real mother, huh!
