Chapter 209: Rumors of the Evil Star
Emperor Rongcheng is the emperor, so how could he allow danger to be around him?
Naturally, we have to investigate it in detail.
Seeing this, Situ Mingji realized the seriousness of the matter.
Fortunately, she was not stupid and did not use her own people.
So I'm still calm now.
She looked at Gu Jingchun's face and spoke with concern.
"Miss Gu must have been frightened this time, but fortunately nothing serious happened to her. She is very lucky."
Situ Mingji's words were a perfect opening, prompting Wang Youqi to chime in: "What do you mean by good fortune and long life? I think it's clearly just the onset of an evil star."
These words instantly made Shen Hechuan frown.
He stared at Wang Youqi and was about to open his mouth to refute when he heard Emperor Rongcheng say coldly, "What evil star?"
Wang Youqi was waiting for Emperor Rongcheng to ask her. Upon hearing this, she immediately stepped forward, knelt down and told him all the rumors she had heard today.
"When Miss Gu was born, it was said that she was the reincarnation of an evil star and would bring misfortune to everyone and everything around her."
"I heard today that Gu Jingchun is going to be the Crown Princess."
"But, she is an evil star. As soon as she returned, she caused so many things to happen in Yong'an Marquis Mansion. When she arrived in the palace, she also caused a lot of trouble."
"Now, I can hardly even save my own life."
"If she really marries His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what will we do if it affects the future of our Dacheng?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng remained silent, tapping his knees unconsciously with his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Shen Hechuan saw this, he immediately knelt down.
"Father, this is simply alarmist and nonsense."
"Our great kingdom was conquered by you, with every soldier and with your own hands.
The current prosperous situation is also the result of your diligent governance since you ascended the throne."
"Since when has the future of our Dacheng been dependent on a woman? It's simply a joke."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, Wang Youqi didn't know if he was stupid, and immediately said:
"Your Highness, it's easy to say, but do you know how many people in Dacheng are eagerly waiting for you, placing all their hopes for the future on you?"
"But you disregarded the future of millions of people because of a woman known as an evil star. If the people knew this, they would be so sad and disappointed!"
As she spoke, she also knelt down.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is better to believe it than not to believe it."
"Although I am a woman, I also care about the people of Dacheng."
“When I entered the palace today, I was shocked to hear these words from the people.
If you really agree to let her marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment, it will definitely cause a huge uproar among the people!"
Wang Youqi's words can be said to have grasped the vital point of Emperor Rongcheng.
Even so, no matter how much he liked Gu Jinxi, he would not risk the wrath of the world and let Gu Jingchun become the Crown Princess.
What's more, he didn't like Gu Jingchun in the first place, so he naturally suppressed the idea that had just emerged in his mind.
He spoke slowly about this.
"When did I ever say that Gu Jingchun is the Crown Princess?"
He snorted again as he spoke.
"Humph, nonsense!"
"Don't step back yet."
After Emperor Rongcheng said this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Situ Mingji, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at Wang Youqi, and a huge stone in her heart fell.
She also wants to thank Shen Hechuan for giving her this opportunity
Prime Minister Wang served as an official for many years and had always been diligent and conscientious. He had two daughters, Wang Younian and Wang Youqi, in his old age.
As a result, he was particularly tolerant of his two daughters, which led to their development into lawless, arrogant, unreasonable, and ignorant daughters.
Last time, Wang Younian was forcibly sent away by Chen Hechuan because he offended Princess Rongyang, which made Wang Youqi resentful of him.
She grew up with Wang Younian since childhood, and usually she likes this sister the most.
Watching her sister being sent away, she naturally felt dissatisfied.
At this time, Situ Mingji came to her house and did something specifically to cause trouble for Chen Hechuan, so she naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
So, what just happened happened.
She was also very good at talking. With just a few words, she blocked all the paths between Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan's entire face changed color.
Jiang Xianhao wanted to give him some advice, but he also knew that now was not the time to speak.
After all, it will be difficult to change the current situation unless this rumor is debunked.
This matter must be considered carefully.
For this reason, she couldn't help but turn her eyes to Gu Jingchun.
She is wearing a red dress today.
The whole person looked bright and outgoing, just like the Fu Shiyu in her memory.
She saw the blood on Gu Jingchun's face and immediately frowned.
"Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"
As she spoke, she looked towards Emperor Rongcheng.
"Miss Gu was assassinated in the palace this time and nearly lost her life. The most urgent task now is to investigate the murderer."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng remembered the important matter.
He couldn't help but look at Gu Jingchun.
"Gu Jingchun, according to what you just said, Gu Jinxi was in danger. How is he now? Is he injured?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun immediately said, "I hope everything is fine. I was afraid he might be in danger, so I sent him to Shou'an Palace with the Queen Mother."
As she spoke, she recounted what Gu Jinxi had just experienced.
When Emperor Rongcheng heard this, his heart was lifted up. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that Gu Jinxi was fine.
I couldn't help but ask Gu Jingchun what happened.
Gu Jingchun naturally recounted what he had just experienced.
After hearing that Gu Jingchun had actually killed everyone, everyone present gasped and began to look at Gu Jingchun again.
Especially Situ Mingji.
When she saw Gu Jingchun come in, she knew her plan had failed.
I could only grit my teeth and go over everything in my mind, and think of all the countermeasures.
If the investigation leads to her, they will definitely put the blame on Gu Yunjin.
However, she never expected that Gu Jingchun had such ability that he could deal with so many people by himself.
I really underestimated her.
No wonder she was underestimated.
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he also realized that his one-sided words would inevitably arouse suspicion.
So, she kicked the man lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
"Every word I said is true. This man is one of them. Your Majesty can ask him directly."
The eunuch was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. Without Emperor Rongcheng saying anything, he immediately nodded continuously.
"Really, everything she...said is...true."
Emperor Rongcheng frowned and asked again, "Who ordered you to do this?"
The man hesitated for a moment.
