Chapter 382: Hiding the Truth (Extra Update with Xiaoxiang Tickets)

Although Madam Xing also understood the love she had with the old man of the Gu family in the past, there were some things that only she and Old Madam Gu knew, so when Old Madam Gu left, it was equivalent to taking away all her thoughts.

All of a sudden, seeing everything become a passing cloud, how can I not be sad?

Therefore, the pain in her heart was no less than that of Gu Shaoyu! He still had a chance to go to the funeral, but she couldn't even leave the palace, let alone go south.

Thinking of this, Queen Guo cried loudly until her eyes were red and swollen. Then she stopped, wiped her tears, and returned to her appearance as the queen who was the master of the six palaces.

The whole person is still majestic, but he is empty inside.

Minister Guo felt distressed when he saw this, but there was no way he could help his daughter recover. He could only hope that time would be a good medicine to soothe her pain, just like when she heard the news that all members of the Gu family had died in the war, she had cried in grief.

And then, isn’t it all fine?

Poor Prime Minister Guo could judge everyone in the court except his own daughter.

I thought she would be able to recover like before, but I didn't know that some people's injuries, when combined, will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. It may seem ridiculously light to outsiders, but it may be as heavy as Mount Tai to that person.

At this moment, she was still immersed in the pain of Madam Gu's departure. Although she had no tears, her eyes were very empty.

"My queen, don't be sad. This is something that will happen to people sooner or later when they get old. When Madam Gu was alive, she enjoyed all the wealth and splendor. Although she had some unpleasant experiences, she also saw the birth of her great-grandchildren when she passed away. She knew that the Gu family would be fine in the future, and she would have no regrets. So, you should be more relaxed."

Hearing this, Queen Guo also sighed and said with sore eyes but meaningfully.

"What my father said is that you will have to go through this sooner or later. It doesn't have to happen when you are old. Everyone will have this day."

When she said this, her whole body exuded a desperate calmness.

Prime Minister Guo didn't know how to describe it. It was as if his daughter was just a living shell without a soul. Then he took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice.

"Is there something your Majesty is hiding from us?"

"Father, you are worrying too much. What could I possibly be hiding from you?"

Empress Guo obviously did not want to say that the plan had come to this point, and it was just the final step. When the emperor would die was not decided by the King of Hell, but by her, his "bedside companion".

But since she had already made arrangements for such matters, there was no need to mobilize the power of her family, so she did not intend to tell Minister Guo.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Guo became more certain of what he was thinking. The Queen must be hiding something from them, and then he spoke in a more stern tone.

"Your Majesty, Shao Yu is not in the city now, and the Tiger Guards are leaderless. Although he explained everything when he left, it is hard to say what mistakes will be made. The Fourth Prince and his men are eyeing this opportunity covetously, and they must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. So the Tiger Guards' going to Jinling City is also a guarantee for Shao Yu. If there is really anything wrong, the Crown Prince will have a place to make a comeback in the future."

The Daxing Dynasty had only been in existence for a few decades, and Guo Xiang had experienced the entire process, so he had no deep-rooted idea of ​​making Sui'an City his place of residence.

This naval commander's thorough investigation of the canal shipping tax was just an excuse. The more important thing was to let Gu Shaoyu gain a foothold in Jinling City. If there were any mistakes, they only had to go south.

In his heart, he felt that Jinling City was much better than Sui'an City. If he moved the capital and established a new king, it would not be a big deal. After all, in troubled times, everything can be done, right? After he spoke out his true thoughts, Queen Guo did not agree.

"Don't worry, father. There is no need to make so many excuses. Once the crown prince ascends the throne, everything will fall into place naturally."

"Ascend the throne? Your Majesty means..."

"Your Majesty has taken a lot of elixirs these days, and he is not afraid of letting his father know. He used to be a man of vigor and vitality, but now he is already old and frail. I am afraid that his spirit is not even half as strong as his father's. People outside are speculating that your Majesty is in poor health. In fact, it is not bad, but there is absolutely no room for improvement. It is just a matter of time. So let's take it slow for now. There is really no need to rush at this moment."

The calmness and confidence in her tone made Guo Xiang feel uneasy.

Could it be possible that the emperor, in such a situation, would have the influence of his own daughter?

He had followed the founding emperor and had seen everything, so he did not think that regicide was a terrible thing. However, there were too many things to plan, and if there was even the slightest mistake, the truth might be revealed and all efforts would be wasted.

That's why he felt a little scared.

With a relationship like theirs, they hadn't even noticed the Queen's actions, let alone other people. Therefore, as he thought about it, he began to feel creepy.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and a lot was said without words.

Prime Minister Guo would not allow himself to be caught easily, and the Queen, who inherited Prime Minister Guo's cautious nature, would be the same.

So although she did not tell her father the plan as she did to Old Madam Gu, she still asked as a reminder.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I think now is the right time. If anything happens to His Majesty, the Crown Prince can ascend the throne smoothly. Why bother thinking about all that? Just let Shao Yu mourn for the old lady. As for your other plans, you can postpone them. They may not be useful."

"Has your Majesty completely grasped it?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Guo nodded calmly, as if they were not discussing the emperor's life, but just an ordinary matter.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Guo didn't know how to express his opinion. After a moment's silence, he spoke to Queen Guo.

"Your Majesty, what you said is not without reason, but Shao Yu's trip south this time is also a rare opportunity. Although I had other plans before, I did have the intention to rectify the taxation. So if you have a way, just delay it for a while. These 50,000 Tiger Guards and Shao Yu can also clear more obstacles for the crown prince to ascend the throne."

After hearing this, Queen Guo reluctantly agreed.

If the emperor wants to wake up, it is not a difficult task. He just needs to stop taking the pills for a few days, or add some refreshing substances to the pills.

Naturally, all of this is blamed on the Seventh Prince's wife and her family.
