Chapter 440: God Helps Me
Old Master Wang still looked very calm.
"There's no need for you and me to say more about this matter. I'm sure His Majesty has already known about it."
"Our Majesty is broad-minded and will certainly not take this matter to heart.
We will not hold on to this matter and investigate it, causing unnecessary casualties."
"However, we must prevent those with ulterior motives from exploiting this matter to commit illegal acts."
As Old Master Wang spoke, he glanced at Situ Qinghe.
"As subjects, the most important thing for you and me is to share His Majesty's worries.
Therefore, we must take precautions against this matter, and if we discover any signs in the future, we must immediately report it to His Majesty."
Hearing this, Luo Kejin felt relieved.
However, although it was not stated explicitly, everyone present knew that the reason this news was released now was probably because someone with ulterior motives wanted to create momentum.
It will surely surface soon.
And at this time in the palace.
The Queen Mother has also learned about this.
She put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Shen Hechuan with a calm expression.
His face was full of astonishment.
"What did you say?"
"You said you knew about this a long time ago?"
"Then you know, this matter is of no small importance. If it is not handled properly, it may affect the foundation of the country."
When the Queen Mother said this, she couldn't help but raise her voice, wishing she could break down all the important relationships involved and feed them all into Shen Hechuan's ears.
"Do you know how high the prestige of the late crown prince is?"
"In the beginning, your father's accession to the throne was not glorious after all, so he has always been criticized.
This former crown prince is truly a man of both talent and virtue, wise and intelligent, and the one whom everyone hopes for."
"That's why, even though your father held this position, he's always been resentful that your mother was devoted to him, for so many years."
“Now, it’s suddenly been reported that he still has blood in this world. If someone with ulterior motives uses this blood to accomplish something,
I'm afraid many people will rise up in rebellion, causing unrest in the court and chaos in society!"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"Mother, you don't need to worry about this matter. I know what's going on."
"I also guarantee that the bloodline of the former crown prince will not cause the things you mentioned. I hope you don't worry."
Having said that, Shen Hechuan stood up and left without looking back.
When the Queen Mother looked at Chen Hechuan's back, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
******
At this time, Gu Jingchun also knew the news.
In an instant, my heart skipped a beat.
The thing she was most worried about finally happened.
Lan Xin didn't know the trick.
After hearing the news, I was still full of worry.
"Miss, tell me, who exactly is this descendant of the former crown prince? Why didn't he show up earlier or later, but just when you were getting married, and now he shows up, isn't he just adding to the chaos?"
"I've heard that the former crown prince was an immortal-like figure, deeply loved by the people.
I heard that when the former crown prince died, the streets of Tiandu were filled with people paying their respects to him, which shows how much the people loved him.
"That's why Emperor Rongcheng avoided the late Crown Prince so much, and at one point issued a strict order not to mention the late Crown Prince at all."
"I heard that quite a few people were killed at that time, and that's how the people calmed down."
Gu Jingchun had never known about these things. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked up and asked, "How did you find out about this?"
Lan Xin: "Of course I heard it from the people. Now people on the street are spreading it. Not only that, but also some of the deeds of the former crown prince are circulating among the people!"
"Some of them, including some elderly people who had met the late Crown Prince, were still talking about the help he had given them back then, and even declared that if the late Crown Prince's bloodline appeared, they would definitely support him."
Lan Xin said this with a sigh in her eyes.
"You almost dared to say that you support rebellion."
Gu Jingchun looked at the chrysanthemums blooming in the courtyard and asked, "Have the government taken any action?"
Lan Xin shook her head.
"No."
"Officials simply drove them away and did not punish or arrest them."
"Otherwise, why are these people on the street so rampant now?"
"It is thanks to the mercy of our current emperor. If it were the late emperor, he would have arrested these people and severely punished them."
When Gu Jingchun heard this, his eyes were fixed on the chrysanthemums, as if he was thinking about something.
Jiang Chongfan, who also learned the news, stood up immediately.
"The bloodline of the late prince?"
"Didn't that guy die a long time ago?"
"Where did the bloodline come from when he doesn't even have a concubine?"
Jiang Chongfan thought about what happened that year and felt guilty. He was afraid that this matter would affect him, and even more afraid that it would affect Shen Hechuan's current status.
He had put in a lot of effort to get to where he was now, and he would never let this suddenly emerging bloodline affect Shen Hechuan's status.
So he immediately ordered people to stop this and spread the news secretly, saying that these words were rumors.
For a moment, Tiandu became even more lively.
And the wind direction is changing so quickly.
The twelfth day before Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan’s wedding.
Another piece of news reached Jiang Chongfan's ears.
Jiang Chongfan stood up suddenly.
"Are you serious about what you said?"
"Absolutely true!"
The butler knelt on the ground, his tone firm.
"After much inquiry, I have confirmed that the person who said this was once a servant of Mei Xueli. It must be true."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chongfan suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter.
"OK!"
"OK!"
"God is really helping me!"
“I didn’t expect that the bloodline of the former crown prince was actually Gu Jingchun!”
"How can a woman who is the descendant of the former crown prince be the queen?"
"I'm afraid even the child she gives birth to can't become the crown prince!"
"I was just worried about not being able to cancel this wedding, but now it seems like it's just the right time."
When he thought of this, an idea immediately came to his mind.
"Come here, follow this method and spread the news that Gu Jingchun is the descendant of the late crown prince!
I want everyone in Tiandu and Dacheng to know her identity, so that she will never be able to become queen in this life."
The butler in front of him also nodded.
"Perhaps His Majesty will be wary of her and become alienated from her!"
"right."
Jiang Chongfan nodded.
"After all, there is no room for emotion in this struggle for imperial power."
"Wan'er's chance has come."
Three hours later.
On the most prosperous street in Tiandu City.
A woman suddenly burst into tears in the street.
And in front of her, there was a corpse lying. It was none other than the dead Chu Qianlan.
"God has finally opened his eyes and finally let this vicious and evil woman die."
"Chu Qianlan, this vicious woman, killed my entire family."
