Chapter 137 Is God going to destroy the Gu family bloodline?
When Zhao Mingzhu got up, Gu Qingheng had already left.
She sat in front of the dressing table, and the two clouds in her ears slowly said:
"Now that you're back, Crown Princess, you can't keep that guy called Yin Feng any longer."
Shuangyun kept this matter in mind and reminded Zhao Mingzhu whenever he had the chance.
"What's wrong with her?" Zhao Mingzhu asked in confusion, supporting herself with her hands.
Shuangyun thought for a moment and said, "She has high aspirations and no regard for superiors or inferiors. It's obvious that she's just like me back then, a shrewd person."
Zhao Mingzhu laughed after hearing this and teased, "What if she reforms later? Wouldn't that mean she misunderstood a good person?"
Shuangyun shook her head after hearing this: "No, I grew up in the palace, she doesn't look like the type to reform."
"Just listen to me, she is definitely not a good person."
Zhao Mingzhu watched the last crystal hairpin go into her hair and nodded, "Okay."
After finishing her makeup, Zhao Mingzhu dragged her rocking chair to the tree and looked at the swaying shadows of the trees above her head.
She tilted her head to look at Yinfeng who was wiping bamboo leaves. She called him over and said, "Are you Yinfeng?"
Su Lu really didn't want to kowtow in front of Zhao Mingzhu, but she had to go over and lowered her head with gritted teeth:
"It's a servant."
Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhu gestured for her to stand up and said, "How about I give you some money and let you go?"
Su Lu naturally didn't want to. She came here for Gu Qingheng. Now that Gu Qingheng had finally come back, how could she leave?
"No, Princess Zhao, I don't want to."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she pleaded, "I am alone. Where can I go if I leave the Eastern Palace? I beg the Crown Princess to have mercy on me."
Zhao Mingzhu looked at her tugging at her skirt and said, "I will give you a large sum of money and an apartment."
Su Lu sneered in his heart, who is he going to give such a small thing to?
"I don't want to."
This is interesting, Zhao Mingzhu suddenly laughed.
She looked at the person in front of her: "What if I insist that you leave?"
Su Lu lowered his head and didn't look back, his attitude was very clear.
But Zhao Mingzhu did not speak. She knelt for a long time and said in a whisper, "I was brought back by His Highness. Your Majesty cannot make decisions on your own."
Shuangyun happened to be carrying a fruit plate over. When he heard this, he took out his spatula and hit him.
"The Crown Princess is the mistress of the Eastern Palace and is one with His Highness. How can she dispose of a little servant like you? Who do you think you are? Stop flattering yourself!"
At this time, Qiao'er came in with a nanny. Zhao Mingzhu recognized her as the nanny from Shoukang Palace.
"This old servant greets the Crown Princess. May your Majesty be at peace."
"Madam, please stand up." Zhao Mingzhu had a vague feeling that the visitor had ill intentions.
Sure enough, the next second, the nanny said, "The Empress Dowager invites you."
Zhao Mingzhu remembered this sentence very clearly. Every time she was asked to go, nothing good happened.
Judging from the looks of it, this time will probably be the same.
"Okay, after I change my clothes, I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager."
But the maid shook her head and said softly, "Your Highness, there is no need to go. Please follow me into the palace now."
There was a strong tone in his voice, and Shuangyun also sensed something was wrong. She whispered:
"Aunt, what's the hurry?"
The nanny who came happened to be Shuangyun's aunt. She saw that her niece's face was flushed, and it was obvious that she was living well in the East Palace.
She looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said softly, "The Empress Dowager has been thinking about you a lot lately."
She stopped there.
Zhao Mingzhu understood. It seemed that the old queen knew about her disappearance. Oh no.
"Then let's go."
When the enemy comes, we will stop him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
Zhao Mingzhu turned around and winked at Shuangyun, saying, "Remember to bring the sweet and sour cream from the kitchen to His Highness."
Shuangyun's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Crown Princess, I'll go right away."
Shoukang Palace was even quieter than usual; even the cicadas had been sucked away.
Zhao Mingzhu followed the nanny into the palace, and saw the old empress dowager sitting on the phoenix throne looking at her with an incomprehensible expression.
Zhao Mingzhu's face remained calm: "Granddaughter-in-law pays homage to the Imperial Grandmother. Long live the Empress Dowager."
The old queen nodded lightly.
She looked at Zhao Mingzhu in the center and asked, "Did you return to the East Palace last night?"
Zhao Mingzhu feigned ignorance and then said, "Grandmother is incredibly well-informed. She actually knew that her grandson's wife and His Highness were returning to the Eastern Palace from outside at that time."
"How dare you!" The Queen Mother slammed her palm on the Phoenix Chair, her face and body stern.
"Don't think I don't know where you have been all this time! You were clearly brought back by Heng'er last night."
Zhao Mingzhu raised her eyebrows after hearing this. It seemed that the Queen Mother really knew something. She nodded:
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, it is indeed so."
"I thought you were still going to make excuses."
The empress dowager looked at her intently. She had never liked this granddaughter-in-law from the beginning, so she didn't even need to pay her respects to her on weekdays.
But now that she has been missing for so long, how can she still sit on the throne of the Crown Princess? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to this honorable position?
The old queen mother's eyes were focused. "Zhao Mingzhu, Heng'er is a good child, he doesn't need to care. But I can't bear to see you sully the royal bloodline, and I can't let you have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the mother of a country."
Zhao Mingzhu stood up straight and looked her straight in the eye. "So, the Empress Dowager means... that Your Highness should abandon your grandson's wife?"
That's really good news.
At this time, a maid brought a plate. Zhao Mingzhu laughed when she saw it. She didn't expect that she would see the three-piece suicide set.
The Queen Mother looked at her and said majestically, "I give you four choices."
There were only three on the wooden plate. Zhao Mingzhu listened quietly, wondering what the other one was.
"Although your reputation has been damaged and you have long since lost your purity, I, considering your father's advanced age and your only daughter, can offer some leniency. You only need to shave your head and become a nun, atone for your sins from now on."
Zhao Mingzhu admired that the old empress dowager was indeed very good at the art of language.
Use death to highlight the difficulty of life, and then use both kindness and force.
Her hand stroked the white silk, the dagger, and fell on the poisoned wine.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother...the choice of granddaughter-in-law."
The old queen was surprised that Zhao Mingzhu would choose poisoned wine. She had no idea that he had such a strong side.
"I won't choose any granddaughter-in-law." Zhao Mingzhu withdrew her hand with a calm expression.
The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this: "This matter is not up to you, come here!"
When the palace maid appeared, Zhao Mingzhu was not in a hurry. She looked directly at the Queen Mother and smiled softly:
"Does the Empress Dowager know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally brought me back after I disappeared?"
The Queen Mother was about to say that it was Gu Qingheng's fault, but Zhao Mingzhu interrupted: "Of course he not only knew about this matter, but was also the mastermind."
As soon as Zhao Mingzhu opened her eyes, she started spreading rumors.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Heng'er is fine, why do you do this?"
"Of course it's because of you, the Queen Mother!"
Zhao Mingzhu raised her head with a piercing gaze. To the Queen Mother's shock, she continued:
"Because the Empress Dowager is always concerned about His Highness's offspring, she keeps sending people to him when he doesn't have any, which makes him feel extremely pressured! And His Highness... well, he can't... well... so he resorted to this desperate measure and ordered me to personally find a living immortal."
Zhao Mingzhu did not specify what Gu Qingheng could not do, leaving it all to the empress dowager to imagine.
Watching the Queen Mother's expression change from suspicion to fear and worry, Zhao Mingzhu said calmly with her hands behind her back:
"I didn't want to tell the Empress Dowager about this, but since you've been asking so much, I can only... I hope the Empress Dowager can keep it a secret. After all, this matter concerns your dignity as a man."
The old queen didn't know who she was thinking of, and her face was about to break.
A moment later: "How do I know that what you say is true?"
Zhao Mingzhu was full of confidence: "If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, just summon His Highness and ask him and we'll know."
Her confident look forced the old queen to believe her a little.
She looked unhappy. The emperor only had four children.
Two of them were infertile, and now my most proud grandson might be the same...
Is God planning to destroy the Gu family bloodline?!
