When Huang Wanshun saw Gu Zhao coming, he hurried forward with a worried look on his face, "General Gu, you're here now. The emperor is very angry. You need to persuade him."
Gu Zhao frowned, "Why is the emperor angry?"
It can't be because it's about the concubine. There's no result yet. Even if the emperor is angry, he won't be so angry.
"The seventh princess was sent back to the capital. On the way, she was captured and humiliated until she had a miscarriage. The princess's personal bodyguards tried their best to escape with the princess before sending back the news. When the emperor heard the news, he would be furious. Woolen cloth."
This news also shocked Gu Zhao.
It had only been less than half a year since Chu Jianing was sent to the vassal state. He was treated like this by a small country. He was thousands of miles away and was humiliated in this way. The emperor was already feeling guilty. When he learned about this, he was naturally angry.
It seems that the emperor is planning to send troops.
"I understand, let's go pass it on." Gu Zhao said.
Huang Wanshun sighed and went in to report to the emperor that General Gu was here. Then he went in and saw broken porcelain all over the ground.
The emperor saw him coming in and handed over a letter. Gu Zhao picked it up and read it. The blood letter was a complaint from the princess. Every word was sad, asking the emperor to send someone to take her home. She told her story since she entered the feudal state. .
She thought she was marrying the prince as his concubine, but she didn't expect that she was marrying the old prince as his concubine. This was deception. The princess refused and tried to return the same way, but was detained by the other party and imprisoned for two months. The princess had Pregnant, she used the excuse of being pregnant to escape, but was caught back and later had a miscarriage.
Now this letter is the news that the guards brought back after desperately escaping.
Gu Zhao frowned tightly and raised his eyes to look at the emperor, "The princess is still trapped in the vassal country. Regarding this matter, will the emperor send troops to rescue the princess?"
"Of course we have to send troops, otherwise, how can our might as a great country survive!" The emperor slapped the table angrily.
Gu Zhao immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to lead the troops to conquer the vassal country and bring back the princess!"
The emperor looked at Gu Zhao and was pleased and nodded, "The most suitable person right now is you."
"It's just that I have just found out some clues about the oil spilling at the celebration night banquet. The incident happened in the palace of the concubine. In order to conceal the facts, this little Anzi just committed suicide. Please ask the emperor to send someone to investigate further on this matter."
In the morning, Gu Zhao sent someone to reply, saying that a suspicious person had been caught in the concubine palace. The emperor received this letter before he gave any instructions.
Even if there is something about the concubine, the emperor doesn't want to delve into it at the moment.
The affairs of the vassal state are the top priority. If they are not resolved as soon as possible, they will become disasters sooner or later.
"Have you found any evidence?" the emperor asked.
When Gu Zhao heard this, he could only sigh, "Xiao Anzi committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the clues have been cut off."
When the emperor asked this, didn't he just not want to get into the details?
Thinking about it, you know that for this expedition, the Liu family will be used as logistical supplies, so the emperor will not touch the concubine no matter what.
Not to mention there is no evidence.
"That's it. You go back immediately to make preparations and set off in three days."
Three days, really urgent.
When the news reached the harem, Li Yushi hurriedly came to Chengen Palace to talk about the matter, and Jin Xin was quite shocked.
"The Seventh Princess is still in the feudal country at this moment?" Jin Xin asked in surprise.
Li Yushi nodded, "The emperor originally intended to send Pei An, but Mrs. Pei just lost her child and General Pei just came back, so he sent him again. This matter cannot be justified after all, so he ordered General Gu to go on the expedition."
Jin Xin looked serious, thinking about Fang's concubine, would this matter just be settled?
Thinking about it, I feel quite reluctant.
"What's going on over there at Cuiyuju?" Jinxin asked.
"The emperor lifted the ban there this morning and removed the guards. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also put up the sign." Li Yushi curled his lips and looked helpless.
So, she has to go to bed early.
No matter, she still doesn't think about it now. It's true that she can raise her baby with peace of mind.
"I heard that the seventh princess lived a hard life there. The vassal state did not take the princess seriously at all. She was arrogant and would not obey. She always maintained her high status and provoked the lord of the vassal state. Only then was she aborted. She almost had an abortion. He's dead, so many days have passed, and I don't know what happened to him." Li Yushi leaned over with an extremely gossipy attitude, and started chatting mysteriously in a low voice.
Jin Xin didn't feel much pain. She was the one who persuaded the princess to get married. She almost killed someone.
Jin Xin was still curious to know how Li Yushi knew, so she asked, "How do you know in such detail?"
"Her seventh princess is not the only princess who went to the vassal state for marriage. Prince Tu's Princess Baoning was made a princess and sent to marry her. However, she married the third prince of the vassal state, and the third prince was completely obedient to her. , she was the one who helped the seventh princess escape, but she turned around and betrayed Princess Baoning, causing the third prince to be reprimanded and flogged. In this matter, Princess Baoning wrote a letter to Prince Tu, asking him to beg the emperor not to send troops, If the army was launched, their family would not be tolerated by the feudal royal family. Prince Tu felt sorry for his daughter, so he went to my father to discuss it, but my father refused. My father was afraid that I would be taken advantage of, so he informed me of the matter and refused to allow it. I talk too much, especially if the Queen Mother invites the concubine to her palace to hint about this matter, let me be smarter."
This reversal happened so quickly, Jin Xin still didn't understand the matter.
Seeing Jin Xin's confused eyes, Li Yushi laughed out loud.
"The Queen Mother's Sixth Prince was sent to Subei by the Emperor, all relying on Prince Tu's help. Now Prince Tu's beloved daughter is in critical condition, so the Queen Mother naturally wants to help him, but there is no one available in the palace, so we have to be careful. ."
Jin Xin frowned, "Prince Tu is too narrow-minded. Naturally, the vassal state must be frightened by provoking the power of the Celestial Empire. If you endure it today, you will be able to ride on the emperor's face and shit in the future."
"Who says it's not the case, but Prince Tu is old and has only one daughter, who was married off. It's normal for him to be dissatisfied. It's reasonable to want to protect his daughter now."
From this point of view, the seventh princess is indeed a bit self-inflicted. After a lot of trouble, she still wants to send troops.
However, the money has to come from the Liu family.
The Liu family was the emperor's money bag, so how could he be willing to give it up?
No matter what, Jin Xin held her belly and stopped thinking about it. The emperor was so tender and caring before, but now it's all a dream.
Jin Xin didn't want to deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty, she just wanted to take care of her own one-third of an acre of land.
Sure enough, the Liu family once again took out the money and sent several boatloads of food and grass to the front line.
On the concubine's birthday party, the emperor held a grand birthday ceremony for her, and the palace was full of excitement.
Even though she was far away, Jin Xin could hear the music outside. The emperor specially invited singers and dancers into the palace to celebrate her birthday.
"Empress, let's go back." Lianrong looked at Jin Xin standing at the door, worried that she couldn't bear it, and advised her.
