After Prime Minister Guo got the answer he wanted, he simply stayed for a moment and then left the palace. After he left, Empress Guo was exhausted, so she called Eunuch Hu in and said with a tired look in her eyes.

"Go tell Eunuch Liu that it's not time yet, and ask him to take care of His Majesty more."

"Yes, madam."

After saying this, she asked the palace maid to take off her hairpins and rings, changed into a simple plain dress, stood in front of the hall, looked in the direction of Jinling City, and silently said farewell words to Madam Gu in her heart.

She wanted to go, but she couldn't.

For so many years, the situation she lived in had always been like this, so the repressed feeling in Empress Guo's heart was as high as a mountain, but now, nothing mattered to her anymore.

After the prince successfully ascends the throne, she will naturally go to find her destination.

She didn't want to be trapped in this palace for the rest of her life. It seemed like she was enjoying all the pleasures of the world, but in reality she was so exhausted that she didn't even dare to slack off in her dreams.

Looking into the distance, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

The next day, the Fourth Prince brought the Seventh Prince into the palace. The first thing they did was to pay a visit to their mother.

The Imperial Concubine hadn't seen her son for nearly half a month, so when she saw them, her eyes were full of love. She waved at the two of them and spoke.

"Before getting married, he would come to the palace to see mother every two or three days, but now it has changed. He can't see her for ten days or half a month. It's really like he forgot his mother after getting a new wife."

Hearing her words, the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince hurried forward and spoke.

"I'm sorry for making you angry. It's all my fault. I'll bring the princess to apologize to you someday."

The Seventh Prince was sweet-talking and he made the Imperial Concubine happy with just a few words. The Fourth Prince just watched them from the side and was not jealous of the loving mother and filial son.

In this harem, the three of them, mother and son, have always depended on each other. They have no solid maternal family and no extraordinary abilities, so only by uniting closely together can they obtain the most and greatest benefits. There is no doubt about this, and they have always done so.

The Fourth Prince wanted to strive for a higher position, so the Seventh Prince made himself his right-hand man. The Imperial Concubine also had a lot to do in the palace, at least it was easy for her to win the Emperor's attention.

Therefore, after the Seventh Prince had made his mother happy, the Fourth Prince stepped forward and told them what he had agreed with Wei Taiwei and others yesterday.

"Mother, you must help your son. Success or failure depends on this one move. My son and the crown prince have been at odds for many years, and they have been fighting fiercely recently. If he really ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then we will have no way to survive."

Seeing the fourth prince's determined look, the imperial concubine became more determined. She had lived in the palace for most of her life and had enjoyed all kinds of favors.

She had once been sincere to the emperor, but this sincerity was not cherished. As there were more and more women in the harem, although she was still favored, she herself knew that it was just the sunset glow of her old age.

As the sun sets, these brilliant sunsets will disappear without a trace.

However, the Queen was still as holy as the sun and the moon, and still shone on the earth. Thinking of this, the Imperial Concubine felt a little resentful in her heart. For decades, she had been suppressed by such a person. How could she not have some thoughts in her mind?

So he began to speak.

"Yesterday, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo went to Changchun Palace to see the Queen. I don't know what they talked about. But after Prime Minister Guo left, Eunuch Hu went to the Emperor's bedroom. He didn't see the Emperor, but he just said a few words to Eunuch Liu who served the Emperor, asking him to take good care of him. I don't know if there was anything fishy going on."

She looked calm and composed on the surface, but she was actually planning carefully for her son.

She "knew" a lot about the emperor's current situation. After all, in order to win favor in the past, she had used some unspeakable means on the emperor, and he naturally had her own spies around him, so she could not find out the news from Changchun Palace, but those around the emperor still knew a lot.

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince became more certain of this idea.

Then he said to his mother.

"I guess the Queen is planning to tell Father about Madam Gu's death and Gu Shaoyu's departure from the capital, but unfortunately she can't see them. How about Mother go there? It will also let Father know that the minister he values ​​the most left without a decree, which is simply a serious crime of disobedience!"

The Fourth Prince had even found an excuse to convict Gu Shaoyu!

The imperial concubine glanced at him, made up her mind, nodded and spoke.

"My son, just stay here peacefully these days. Once mother has dealt with this matter, we can talk about other things."

"Yes, mother."

After succeeding, the Fourth Prince was of course extremely happy, with a look of pride on his face. However, Gu Shaoyu, who was the one he was plotting against, did not even have time to rest his horse and rushed to the place where the Su family's ship was docked.

The sea was calm, and there were a few small boats docked at the pier. They were certainly not as good as those of the Su family, but they were also the foundation for their owners' survival.

When the group arrived here, they did not see the Su family's big ship.

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

The person in charge of the Su family who rushed over after hearing the news also spoke respectfully and with some soothing tone.

"I have already dispatched a ship as soon as I received the news, but it will take another half a day to arrive. General, please wait for a while and rest and adjust yourself first."

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu had nothing to say.

They certainly had no problem riding horses, but by comparison, the Su family's ship was much faster.

At this moment, all he wanted was to go back and keep vigil for his grandmother, so he couldn't think of anything else.

Fortunately, after waiting for two hours, the Su family's large ship appeared. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu gave instructions to Luo Yuan.

"Send the message to the young lady and tell her that we will be there in half a month at most!"

"Yes, General!"

Dismounting from the horse and boarding the ship, the whole process was done in one go.

The horses under their crotch naturally could not withstand such a voyage, so the remaining part of the Huben Army and the Su family would be arranged to take the land route and also head towards Jinling City, but it would be slower.

But now, the most important thing is to get back.

The head of the Su family took a deep breath and said after watching the big ship finally leave.

"Finally I sent this gentleman away. If he hadn't left, I would have been afraid that he would have hit me with the whip in his hand."

The people around him also took it seriously. They had not had much contact with General Gu. Seeing him waiting at the dock with a stern face for two hours without moving, who wouldn't be scared?
