Chapter 409: Can Only Be Emperor
"Old Master Wang is right. This matter is of great importance. Even for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future stability of Dacheng, and the safety of the people living on the border, the position of Queen must belong to Gu Jingchun."
"Ministry of Rites, starting today, immediately begin preparations for the Empress's coronation ceremony."
The Minister of Rites immediately agreed.
After Chen Hechuan arranged this matter, he happily left the court.
At this time, in Gu Jingchun's hall.
She was packing her things when Princess Rongyang arrived.
Gu Jingchun quickly ordered someone to invite Princess Rongyang over.
Princess Rongyang was holding a box in her hand.
When she saw Gu Jingchun, she first looked at Gu Jingchun.
"Sister-in-law, you've lost weight. It looks like you've suffered a lot along the way. Fortunately, you're back safely."
As she spoke, she sat down in front of Gu Jingchun.
"Sister-in-law, the day you came back, I had something else to do, so I left in a hurry. I didn't bother to say hello to you at that time. You won't blame me, will you?"
Gu Jingchun: "You clever little devil, if you thought I would blame you, would you still run away at that time?"
Princess Rongyang couldn't help but sit next to Gu Jingchun, smiled, and hugged Gu Jingchun's arm.
"Hehe, I knew you were the best. You definitely won't blame me."
Seeing Princess Rongyang's rosy face, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but ask, "Judging from your appearance, you and Luo Ziqian have been getting along well lately, right?"
Princess Rongyang nodded, but then shook her head.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What happened?"
Princess Rongyang sighed.
"Hey, I don't dare to see him recently."
Gu Jingchun looked over.
"But what happened?"
Princess Rongyang shook her head, there was no way to explain it.
"No, I just can't figure something out."
Gu Jingchun's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Think about it, Luo Ziqian is now the commander of the Imperial Guard.
If he married Princess Rongyang in the future, he would definitely not be able to hold this position anymore.
Is it because of this matter that you are troubled?
When Gu Jingchun thought of this, he was just about to speak to persuade Princess Rongyang.
Princess Rongyang had already put on a smiling face.
"Never mind, let's get down to business first!"
As she spoke, she pushed the box in front of Gu Jingchun.
"This box was given to me by my mother before she passed away. She asked me to give it to you personally when you get married."
"But, I heard that my brother is discussing the matter of making you the queen in the front court today, so I thought, since it will be given to you sooner or later anyway, why not give it to you first."
Gu Jingchun's face was full of surprise.
"The Queen gave it to me?"
Princess Rongyang nodded.
"Yeah, I don't know why either."
"Besides, I always felt that Mother loved you very much. It was just a pity that you were not in Tiandu at that time, and Mother's health was getting worse and worse.
Otherwise, your mother will definitely treat you like her own daughter and love you dearly."
Gu Jingchun nodded, but for some reason, his eyes became hot and he almost cried.
To be honest, she had only met the Queen a few times, but she felt close to her every time.
At the beginning, when she was studying history, she felt very uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually left something for her personally.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but open the box in his hand.
What just caught my eye was a jade pendant.
The jade pendant is white and crystal clear, and the entire piece of jade pendant is carved into the shape of a butterfly.
Lifelike and very beautiful.
Princess Rongyang couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw it.
"Wow--"
"What a beautiful jade pendant!"
"It's actually in the shape of a butterfly! This is the first time I've seen a butterfly jade pendant!"
But when Gu Jingchun got the jade pendant, his hands trembled.
He stood up in disbelief.
Princess Rongyang was also frightened by her.
"What's wrong with you?"
"But what's wrong?"
Gu Jingchun didn't bother to answer her, but immediately took off the jade pendant from his neck and compared it carefully.
Only then did I realize that the two jade pendants were exactly the same in shape and pattern.
Either it was carved by the same person, or it was specifically carved according to the image of another piece.
Princess Rongyang was also shocked when she saw it.
The butterfly on your jade pendant looks like this butterfly!
******
In a dilapidated temple in a remote corner of Tiandu.
Mao Zixiao, wearing tattered clothes, opened the mechanism and walked in while quickly chewing the steamed bun in his mouth.
Wait until we reach the innermost part of the secret room.
He swallowed the last bite of steamed bun, moved his mouth, and then walked in.
"Master, I just received news that Shen Hechuan has returned to the palace. Moreover, an imperial decree has been issued today to confer the title of empress on Gu Jingchun. Preparations are now underway, and the ceremony will be held immediately after the mourning period is over."
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhixin slowly opened his eyes.
"The Queen?"
"No, my little master, you can only be the emperor!"
"I will definitely stop him!" he said, and looked at Mao Zixiao who was kneeling on the ground.
"How's that old guy Jiang Chongfan?"
"Everything went just as you imagined."
"He wanted to make his daughter the queen, but unfortunately, there were many people in the court who became queens. Among them, Old Master Wang was one of them. He was defeated by just a few words."
Guan Zhixin snorted coldly when he heard this.
"This old guy is really the same as always, but this time, things will not go as he wishes."
Mao Zixiao didn't know the details of the past, so he could only stand there and didn't say anything.
After a while, he raised his head.
"Master, Chen Hechuan has also sent people to Qi County to investigate the matter of the young master's adoptive mother, Mei Xueli. I wonder if we should stop them?"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Guan Zhixin paused for a moment before smiling.
"Why stop it?"
"Since they want to investigate, I might as well take this opportunity to tell them the whole truth."
"After so many years, the truth should come to light."
"After letting them feel comfortable for so long, it's time to make them anxious."
"That foolish woman, she had such a hard life. Her story shouldn't be forgotten with her death."
"good."
Mao Zixiao raised his head.
Guan Zhixin looked normal at this moment, but he could see a hint of loneliness on his face.

“Snap—”
Jiang Chongfan suddenly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, his chest churning with anger.
"You are so good, Shen Hechuan. I really underestimated him. Today, he actually tricked me."
This put the entire Jiang family into a completely passive situation.
Jiang Mingwan hurried over after hearing the news. Seeing this, she paused for a moment before walking over.
