The seventh princess's actions made the deputy general next to her want to stop her, but Gu Zhao raised his hand to stop her.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the princess, "Princess, Gu is not worthy of your affection. This slap today, together with your previous humiliation, will be wiped out."
If he had known that she dared to think about killing the empress, he should have quietly killed the Seventh Princess on his way back to Beijing.
The seventh princess gritted her teeth and stared at him with so much hatred that she wanted to destroy everything. She wanted to kill Gu Zhao.
Thinking like this, she really took the sword of the guard beside her and wanted to end Gu Zhao's life, and then she committed suicide.
If we can't live together, then let's go to hell together.
However, the guards had quick eyesight and quick hands to prevent the seventh princess from going crazy. The seventh princess was then subdued by the guards, had her hands clasped behind her back, and was taken out in a panic.
"I won't let you all go!" she roared before leaving.
The deputy general breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the seventh princess being taken away, and said, "This seventh princess is too crazy. She actually wants to kill someone in the palace."
"Shut up!" Gu Zhao said coldly.
This is the palace, or in front of the royal study room. You can say what you should say, but you can't say what you shouldn't.
The lieutenant didn't think carefully, but he also knew that he was talking too much, so he quickly lowered his head.
Huang Wanshun just went in to make the announcement, then walked out and said to Gu Zhao, "General, please come in, the emperor is waiting for you."
"Thank you, Manager Huang." Gu Zhao said politely.
Huang Wanshun was respected, so he naturally looked at Gu Zhaogao in his heart.
The emperor closed his eyes and leaned on the dragon chair with a dignified manner. When Gu Zhao came in, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gu Zhao, "It's so late, what's the matter with Aiqing?"
"It concerns General Pei, so I have to go to the palace in person."
With that said, he took out what he found and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor frowned after reading this, "Pei An privately incorporated the Arrow Battalion into the Pei Family Army. When did you learn about this?"
"When the emperor disappeared, I wanted to mobilize the Arrow Camp, but they had to see the Pei family's order before they would accept the transfer." Gu Zhao said calmly.
The emperor clenched his hands into fists and lightly beat them on the table. His anger was still lingering and he added more firewood. He felt uncomfortable in his heart for a moment. It was probably because he was too angry. Only then did he feel a tearing feeling in his heart.
Gu Zhao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, how are you?"
The emperor adjusted his breathing and calmed down his emotions. Now he felt much better. He immediately waved his hands and said, "It's okay. I suddenly felt uncomfortable."
Gu Zhao felt relieved now.
The dragon's body is ill, which is a big deal.
It is a matter of great concern to the country and should not be underestimated.
"You said that you personally mobilized the Arrow Camp, but they only listened to Pei An. Did they actively deal with the assassins at that time?"
"If we talk about the capabilities of the Arrow Camp, they would not have arrived at the scene so late. I really don't know what happened in the meantime, but when the Holy One is in trouble, the Arrow Camp takes General Pei's words first. This matter is indeed inappropriate."
Gu Zhao was speaking politely.
The Pei family has selfish motives.
The emperor didn't want to continue to be angry and have trouble with his body, so he called Sun Yi in and said, "Pei An failed to protect him well, so he was demoted to a mighty general, and the military power of the Arrow Camp was handed over to Gu Zhao. Anyone who doesn't obey will be punished on the spot." kill."
Sun Yi nodded and went to do the work.
Gu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The Arrow Camp had 30,000 elite soldiers. If used properly, they would be an elite team.
But this one is in charge of the Pei family, and General Pei is considered loyal, but Pei An has an unstable temper and is too selfish.
Last time King Xian made himself the king and rebelled, Pei An hesitated, but always wanted to be superior to him. The two had different opinions, which wasted a lot of time. If he hadn't risked his life, he would have gone for a sneak attack alone, otherwise, there would be no way Know how long it will take to resolve.
Therefore, Gu Zhao felt that Pei An was not suitable for commanding an army.
When the imperial edict was issued, Gu Zhao also went to Pei's house. At first, Pei An didn't believe it and insisted on seeing the emperor. However, he was beaten by the people of the Imperial Palace. When the imperial edict was read out, he accepted his fate.
But he felt guilty, so naturally he could only cooperate.
Concubine Xuan received the news overnight and stood up in shock, unable to believe that it was true.
"Where is the emperor?" Concubine Xuan stood up excitedly and asked.
"In Cheng'en Palace." the maid replied.
Concubine Xuan gritted her teeth when she heard this, "Okay, why would the emperor touch the Pei family?"
How could the maid come up?
Concubine Xuan had some guesses, but was not sure. When she learned about this, the seventh princess was deprived of all her status, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum. He was also afraid and felt as guilty as Pei An.
So when he came to deliver the news, he told her not to go to the emperor to plead for mercy. The emperor was just hammering it now to show that he still wanted to use the Pei family army. If he dared to think about it in the future, it would definitely not be the result.
She was annoyed when she thought that the emperor was only in Chengen Palace.
The Jingshifang sent signs every night, but the emperor only read the sign of the imperial concubine. The other women were like air. Since returning from the hunt, Concubine Xuan has not seen the emperor in the harem.
At this time, the third prince's wet nurse came in again and said to Concubine Xuan, "Empress, go and see the third prince. The child is crying hard again."
Concubine Xuan frowned when she heard this. She was already annoyed, but this child was very good at crying. She cried during the day and at night. She said impatiently, "Just feed him when he cries. I'm going to see him. How can he cry?" How about it?"
She could still love her a little bit before, but now she cries too much, which bothers her own mother, let alone her adopted mother.
"The little prince only wants you, my queen." The wet nurse said helplessly.
The child didn't know what was going on. Even if Concubine Xuan held him, he would be quiet for a while, but he couldn't leave.
Concubine Xuan had no choice but to have her child brought over. Her face turned red from crying and she was very angry.
Concubine Xuan had no choice but to sing children's songs, and the child became quieter.
Seeing him calm down, Concubine Xuan became a little softer towards him.
"It's a pity that she is not my biological child. It would be great if she was my biological child." Concubine Xuan said with emotion.
Thinking of the child he lost in the hunting ground, he suddenly felt regretful.
The child, who was over six months old, could not sit up. His body was small and soft, and he looked exactly like his biological mother. He did not follow the emperor at all, which made Concubine Xuan a little unhappy.
How could she love a child she raised who looked like her own mother?
"Look, he stopped crying when the queen hugged him. He must know that the queen loves him, and he is smart." The wet nurse said with a smile.
Concubine Xuan also rarely showed a motherly smile, and gently teased the third prince's chubby face, "Jinglin is so good, I will count on you in the future."
The wet nurse smiled when she heard this and said, "That's right. The emperor has very few heirs, only two princes. In this palace, apart from Cheng'en Palace, we are the only ones in Yilan Palace who have such dignity."
After hearing this, Concubine Xuan paused and thought carefully about the wet nurse's words. The emperor had few heirs, only two princes...
But if there is only one prince, can this imperial concubine still sit on the throne of queen?
