Grandma Kong sighed. She knew that Gu Yanwei would doubt her, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Chen Yunzhi was still crying and making a fuss. Madam Kong sighed again and looked at Gu Yanwei. "Your Majesty, I think you know everything. This girl is not a bad person, and she doesn't have any tricks. She listens to me in everything. If Your Majesty still gives me this face, let her go."
Gu Yanwei knew it all by heart, so he waved his hand and said, "Get lost."
Chen Yunzhi wiped her tears and saw that the two of them really didn't care about her anymore, so she quickly ran out using both her hands and feet.
Nanny Kong just shook her head as she looked at it.
"Madam Kong, I have been treating you with care since you came here." Gu Yanwei looked at the old nanny in front of him, "I have asked myself how I have done anything to let you down, and I sincerely want to take care of you in your old age. Why are you doing this?"
This is what Gu Yanwei couldn't figure out.
There was no need for Nanny Kong to harm him, nor was there any need for her to join forces with anyone else to harm her.
If she was a smart person, she would know that with him as her backer, her life would be safe for the rest of her life. Why did she have to take such a risk?
Madam Kong also looked at Gu Yanwei, "This old slave did all this for the emperor!"
"You are the Son of Heaven, not the Ninth Prince anymore. How can you ignore the whole world for a woman?" Madam Kong said angrily, "Even if you are still the Ninth Prince, you can't do this!" There is no man in the world who lives with a woman. What does Shen Qingqiu want to do? !
Gu Yanwei heard what Madam Kong said, "There are many deeply in love couples in this world, and there have been emperors in ancient times who were deeply in love with their wives. Madam, are you thinking about me, or are you doing it for your own selfish desires?" Gu Yanwei curled his lips coldly, "You said it was for me, but you drugged me... Madam, you know Chen Yunzhi's identity better. A woman who is so easy to control, after entering the palace and giving birth to a prince, won't she still be under your control?"
The so-called doing it for his own good, the so-called doing it for the world, are all just for one's own selfish desires!
"You just watched me and you go away for such a long time, and you wanted to see if I still obeyed you like when we were kids! You wanted to see if I still value you and listen to you like when we were kids!"
"All you want is a puppet emperor!" So what she least wanted to see was him valuing Shen Qingqiu. Wouldn't that hinder her plan?
That's why she did it.
As if her thoughts had been exposed, Madam Kong's face turned grim and she started coughing violently again.
Gu Yanwei said, "Mammy, I really want to treat you well, no matter what you thought in the past or what you think now." He closed his eyes, "But I can't keep someone like you around..." He looked at Mammy Kong, "Since your adopted son is taking care of you, I think he will listen to you."
He added, "As for Chen Yunzhi's matter, I won't care about it. She listens to Madam so much, and I am relieved to have her take care of Madam in her old age."
This can be regarded as his repayment for the care he had given her in the palace over the years.
After understanding what Gu Yanwei meant, Nanny Kong opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I am your wet nurse. Of course, I was the one who took care of you and brought you up. How could you treat me like this?!" Nanny Kong thought that he was just angry with her at most, and maybe he would be fine after a while.
After all, this matter was not a big deal and did not cause any serious consequences.
But looking at the current situation, he actually wanted to drive me out! "Your Majesty, you can't be like this!"
"What can't I do?" Gu Yanwei looked at the old woman in front of him and could hardly remember what Grandma Kong looked like when she was young.
"You have saved me and helped me, but do you want me to repay your kindness with this vast territory?" Gu Yanwei said angrily.
Madam Kong shook her head vigorously, "Old slave, I never thought so!"
Gu Yanwei knew that Madam Kong didn't think so, and she didn't have the courage to do so. But what she did directly resulted in such a result, and the desire for power can only increase people's ambitions. If Madam Kong doesn't think so now, who can guarantee that Madam Kong won't think so in a dozen years? So the safest way is to cut off this possibility directly from the root.
"Mrs. Kong, please go now. Don't worry, they won't fail to take good care of you."
Madam Kong shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, no——" But she was not given the chance to refuse. A line of people came out and carried her away along with her chair.
After Madam Kong left, Shen Qingqiu entered the room and said to Gu Yanwei: "You still have me."
Gu Yanwei smiled, "Yes, Qiu'er, thanks to you." He held her hand. He knew that no matter who in this world would deceive him or betray him, Qiu'er would not, and that was enough.
"Gu Yanwei, are you really sad? Actually, it won't be a problem if Madam Kong doesn't leave." Although she was afraid that Madam Kong would ruin things, if Gu Yanwei was really so sad, then it would be fine for her to stay.
Gu Yanwei shook his head, "I just feel regretful."
Nanny Kong was one of the few people he wanted to take care of.
Shen Qingqiu smiled at him and said, "No regrets, we still have a long way to go."
In the following time, the two of them traveled around Hangzhou County again until another letter came from Gu Yong.
Gu Yanwei received Gu Yong's letter and was furious after closing it. "I didn't expect Gu Cheng to defect to the Xiongnu!"
You have to know that the Huns were known for their brutality, and no one knows how many of their people were killed. But for the sake of power, Gu Cheng actually did such a thing!
Shen Qingqiu sighed, "Why are you angry? You should have known that he is this kind of person."
Gu Yanwei sighed, "Qingqiu, this journey is dangerous. Gu Cheng already knows that I am not dead, and he will definitely send people to hunt us down."
Shen Qingqiu packed her things without saying anything. Gu Yanwei slowly walked towards her, hugged her waist from behind and said, "Qingqiu, I'm sorry that I still can't give you a stable life."
Shen Qingqiu put down what he was holding, turned around, leaned against his chest and said, "Gu Yanwei, no matter where you are, I will be with you."
——
On the other hand, Gu Yong is here.
The military advisor of Marquis Gu's mansion was sitting in the house reading a book. These were all Gu Yong's collection of books. Some of the books left were written by him, and some were annotated by him after each battle. He was worthy of being the victorious marquis. If these things were left outside, people would probably scramble for them for a long time.
At this moment, a servant came in from outside with an invitation. When he approached the room, his steps slowly became steady. He pushed open the door and said, "Military Advisor, there is an invitation. Do you want to go?"
The military advisor did not even raise his head. Since they occupied this territory, they have received many banquet invitations, especially those from the Huns, who tried various ways to seduce them to give up the territory they had already occupied.
"Military advisor, let's take a look first." The servant snatched the book from his hand, "This may be a Hongmen Banquet. I heard that Gu Cheng may also be there. The Marquis meant that if you don't venture into the tiger's den, you can't get the tiger cub. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture Gu Cheng alive, then the current dilemma will be solved directly.
"Gu Cheng." The military advisor thought of the Huns. After all, they had not yet started a full-scale battle with the Huns.
"It's too early to break up with him now," he said with some embarrassment, "Although the Marquis has won several battles, he needs to rest and recuperate now. If he keeps fighting again and again, even a victorious general won't be able to hold on."
The military advisor said, opening the post: "However, the Xiongnu have always been arbitrary. Gu Cheng thought he could use the Xiongnu to find a way to trip up the emperor, but he didn't know that he was nurturing a tiger to cause trouble."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Since the Marquis wants to go, then let's go."
Since we said we were going, then everyone went.
Gu Yong also changed his clothes and prepared to go to the Xiongnu to keep his appointment. Many powerful generals in the army also gathered outside the door.
Lanterns were hung high in the residence of the Xiongnu prince, and servants were moving around the banquet, arranging today's wine cups and dishes.
The Xiongnu king's favorite wives and concubines were dressed beautifully and came out with the Xiongnu king to entertain the guests.
There was a lot of drinking and toasting at the banquet.
However, after three rounds of drinking, the true nature of the Hongmen Banquet was revealed.
"Oh no! The food is poisonous!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and then everyone became chaotic.
The crowd in the hall was so noisy that it was impossible to hear what anyone was saying.
A pretty woman with blood on her lips fell limply into the arms of the man next to her. The banquet with many women was the first to get in chaos. Then the soldiers and generals of the Xiongnu drew their swords and surrounded the place. The table where Gu Yong and others were sitting was also surrounded by the Xiongnu soldiers and generals. Gu Yong and others drew their swords and shouted angrily, "Your Majesty, we are here to keep the appointment. What do you mean by this?!"
Soon the Xiongnu prince came out, bowed and said to everyone, "Everyone, I came to entertain Lord Qing today, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. However, the person who died was our king's concubine, and she died in my mansion. I have to give the king an explanation." After speaking, he glanced at Gu Yong, "Lord Gu, I'm sorry, you and your people must not leave here today!"
Such a crude scheme, just to keep them all here, these Huns are really shameless! "Come on, take them all down!" The Huns' prince shouted, and soon a group of soldiers approached Gu Yong and others.
Gu Yong quickly drew out his knife, but at this moment, someone behind him suddenly started vomiting blood, and some even couldn't help pinching their throats with their hands, making coughing sounds.
Gu Yong's military advisor quickly held the man down and immediately saw the black blood at the corner of his lips. "My Lord, this wine is poisonous!"
Suddenly, there was chaos in the hall. The Huns roared and rushed over. Everyone tried to resist, but they were too weak to fight because of the poison. Gu Yong took a knife and led everyone to fight their way out, but the poisoned people could not go far! "My Lord, leave quickly and don't worry about us. Don't forget that we still have 100,000 troops!"
Gu Yong refused, "As a general, how can I abandon you!"
But blood was still oozing from his abdomen. If he was not treated, it would be too late.
"The court won't be missing one less or one more of us, but the Marquis cannot be missing! Old Seven, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and act!" The man angrily ordered the voice behind Gu Yong calling Old Seven.
Before Gu Yong could react, he was knocked unconscious by Lao Qi.
The Seventh Old Man bowed to the people in front of him. He knew that this farewell might be forever. "Don't worry, I will take the Marquis away! I will also avenge you!"
