367 Acting(1/2)
This was the first time Gu Jiao heard about this kind of thing. The rumors about her late emperor and aunt mainly came from Princess Rui, but Princess Rui mentioned the most is related to Princess Jing. For example, Princess Jing has a certain relationship and is willing to move into the temple.
What Princess Rui said may not be the truth, at least the fact that she is willing to enter the temple is fake.
Eunuch Qin has already denied the rumors to Gu Jiao, but Empress Dowager Zhuang ordered the man to go to the temple.
Why did Empress Dowager Zhuang not directly issue an order to kill Concubine Jing? Gu Jiao once believed that the key factor was the emperor. If his aunt issued an imperial edict, the emperor would not hesitate to break up and issue an imperial edict to stop him. If his aunt came in secret, there would be a Dragon Shadow Guard sent by the emperor to stop him.
However, if what Gu Chengfeng said was true, Concubine Jing burned an imperial edict to kill her for her, then the aunt would have owed her a life-saving grace.
But Gu Jiao thinks this is unlikely.
Concubine Jing has given medicine to her aunt and the emperor. Will she be so kind to burn the imperial edict for her aunt?
Of course, there is another possibility, that the imperial edict that allowed the aunt to be buried with her was indeed not burned by Concubine Jing, but was held in her hands as a handle.
Before receiving the imperial edict, my aunt could not let Concubine Jing die, otherwise no one could guarantee whether Concubine Jing would keep a backup plan. Once she died, the imperial edict would be in full swing.
But soon, this possibility was eliminated by Gu Jiao.
Concubine Jing deliberately dealt with her aunt. With this imperial edict, she could directly lead her aunt to the eighteenth level of hell. Why did she keep it as a handle? Wouldn't it be an unnecessary move?
Assuming what Gu Chengfeng said was true, Concubine Jing did risk his life to steal the imperial edict and burn it, but who has seen the content of the imperial edict? How did it prove that the one that said it was to let the aunt be buried with her, not anything else?
Didn’t it just her mouth?
As long as it does not involve interpersonal relationships and love, Gu Jiao's mind is spinning very fast.
Although she thought so much, it was just a moment of effort.
Gu Chengfeng had already pulled the imperial edict out of the box. He put the box on his arms and held it out the imperial edict with both hands.
However, the moment he opened the imperial edict, Concubine Jing suddenly came back, and she noticed a trace of movement in the corridor.
Unlike Long Yingwei, she is extremely sensitive to the voice of conversation.
"Who!" she asked sternly.
Gu Chengfeng's hand shook, and the box with his arms fell to the ground, making a crisp sound!
"Catch him!"
With the order from Concubine Jing, Long Yinggu entered the door and grabbed Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao with bare hands.
"Go away!" Gu Chengfeng grabbed Gu Jiao with one hand and put the imperial edict in his arms with the other.
Seeing that Long Yingwei's hand was about to grab them, Gu Jiao hurriedly took out a black gunpowder from her purse and smashed it at the other party!
Long Yingwei had suffered the loss of black gunpowder and knew that it was a hidden weapon that could not be taken by force. He hurriedly turned sideways and avoided it. The black gunpowder hit the table behind him, and exploded the table with a bang!
And taking advantage of this skill, Gu Chengfeng hugged Gu Jiao and ran out of the temple.
Both of them wore masks and changed their clothes. Concubine Jing could not recognize the two of them.
Concubine Jing entered the house and found that the imperial edict was gone at first sight.
Her face changed drastically and she said to Long Yingwei: "Take the imperial edict back!"
The Dragon Shadow Guard got the order and chased in the direction where Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng left.
The Dragon Shadow Guard was invincible in both martial arts and light skills, and he soon caught up with the two of them.
When Gu Chengfeng was trying to get the imperial edict, Long Yingwei saw it. He knew that the imperial edict was on Gu Chengfeng's body, and he grabbed Gu Chengfeng's shoulder without saying a word.
The hand, which was like an eagle claw, tightly clamped into Gu Chengfeng's flesh and blood. Gu Chengfeng's face was so painful that his face twisted into a ball. He did not resist immediately, but pushed Gu Jiao away with all his strength!
The moment he pushed it away, he stuffed the imperial edict into Gu Jiao's sleeve.
He is probably the only one who can do such tricks under Long Yingwei's nose. Long Yingwei didn't realize that the imperial edict had been transferred, so he stretched out his other hand to reach Gu Chengfeng's chest.
He is a dead soldier, and he doesn't know the importance of his actions. He is afraid that he will dig up Gu Chengfeng's chest.
Gu Jiao looked back at the two of them and suddenly took out an imperial edict: "The imperial edict is here!"
Long Yingwei's eyes were swaying towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao threw the imperial edict in another direction in the palace.
The order from Longyingguard was to get the imperial edict, so he chased after the imperial edict.
Gu Chengfeng covered his shoulders and knelt on the ground with a loss of strength.
Gu Jiao squatted down and said, "Can you still leave?"
Gu Chengfeng shook his head with a pale face: "The lightness is no longer useful..."
The Dragon Shadow Guard was so scary that he just grabbed him casually, and his whole body could not be used instantly.
"Go away quickly." He said withstood the weakness and severe pain.
The imperial edict is so important. Only in the panic, Concubine Jing was only able to get the imperial edict. After receiving it, Concubine Jing would remember to destroy the two of them.
Gu Jiao grabbed him: "Come with me!"
The Dragon Shadow Guard found the imperial edict and handed it over to Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing received the imperial edict and her expression was calm.
"The Empress of the Concubine!" Madam Cai hurried over and looked at the imperial edict in her hand. Her face changed, "Someone came to steal the imperial edict? Who is it? How could she know this imperial edict?"
Concubine Jing looked at the direction of the palace wall and did not speak.
Renshou Palace.
Eunuch Qin was feeding a pool of turtles he raised when suddenly two figures fell from the sky and hit his turtle.
"Oh! The turtle of the family!"
Eunuch Qin was shocked and all the vegetables in his hand flew out.
He was about to call the master of the inner rank when one of the small figures took off the mask from his face. His eyes glared: "Miss Gu?"
At this moment, the mask on Gu Chengfeng's face also fell off, revealing a pale and handsome face.
Eunuch Qin was shocked again: "Sir Gu Er?"
"Your Majesty is here-"
Gu Jiao: It’s so fast!
Empress Dowager Zhuang was not here, so she went to the side hall of the Jinluan Palace to discuss matters with the ministers. Eunuch Qin brought Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng into Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom.
Then Eunuch Qin went outside Renshou Palace to bow to the emperor: "I wish you a blessing to Your Majesty."
The emperor followed Madam Cai.
Eunuch Qin looked at Madam Cai quietly and said with a smile: "Why is Your Majesty here? The Empress Dowager is discussing affairs with the ministers in the Golden Palace."
The emperor said: "Madam Cai said that an assassin had just assassinated the mother of Jing. She was injured by the masters around Jing's mother and fled all the way to Renshou Palace."
"What happened?" Eunuch Qin was surprised, "Is the concubine injured?"
Madam Cai said politely: "The Empress of the Concubine was a little scared, it was not a big deal. The Empress of the Concubine was worried that the assassin would be unfavorable to the Empress Dowager, so she quickly reported to His Majesty."
"I didn't see any assassin." Eunuch Qin turned his head and looked at the uterus in a yard, "Did you see the assassin?"
The palace people shook their heads together: "No."
Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I guess Madam Cai has misread it. This is Renshou Palace, with experts like clouds. Which assassin dares to break in with his life?"
Madam Cai said with a worried look on her face: "The assassin is extremely skilled in martial arts and can actually escape from the Long Yingwei's hands. Eunuch Qin should not be careless."
If it were in the past, the emperor would not bother to go to Guanxiu Dude Zhuang to live or die. However, now he is an alliance with Empress Dowager Zhuang. They have a common enemy. The man hid in the dark and pinched his neck to deal with the people he cared about. He could not let the other party succeed.
"Get out of here!" the emperor said coldly.
Eunuch Qin did not give in. He owed his body and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not in Renshou Palace. If the assassin really wants to assassinate her, he should go to the Golden Palace."
Madam Cai changed her previous worry and humble expression, frowned and said, "Maybe the assassin is lying here, and I'll do it when the empress dowager comes back! Eunuch Qin, you are so stopping your Majesty from searching, may you be... You and the assassin are in the same group!"
"Who gave you the courage to yell in front of the door of Ai's house?"
Accompanied by a voice that was not angry but powerful, Empress Dowager Zhuang's phoenix chassis appeared behind everyone.
Everyone turned around and saluted Empress Dowager Zhuang on the phoenix chasing.
The emperor looked at the phoenix from afar, looking unwilling.
The phoenix stopped in front of the group. After landing, Eunuch Qin walked forward and handed his wrist to Queen Mother Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang held his wrist and walked out slowly. She didn't need much sound or sharp words. Just a faint look was enough to shock everyone's mind.
Madam Cai, who was just now relying on the support of the emperor, suddenly did not dare to say anything.
Empress Dowager Zhuang walked to her in a leisurely manner: "Tell me, why don't you say it anymore? When Ai's family was away, you were very erect? Why did you become a gourd with your mouth sawed when Ai's family came?"
Madam Cai lowered her head aggrievedly and stood next to the emperor.
After all, Concubine Jing’s confidant Momo. The emperor couldn’t bear to have her injustice, so he said, “What’s wrong with Madam Cai? With an assassin, he naturally had to search. However, this old servant obstructed her in every way, which really made people suspicious.”
Eunuch Qin reported to Empress Dowager Zhuang: "Miss Gu is resting inside. I am worried that so many people will disturb Miss Gu when they go in. Besides, the slave did not find any assassin. If the empress dowager doesn't believe it, please ask the masters of Renshou Palace, and they didn't--"
Before Eunuch Qin finished speaking, a sound of weapons coming from the direction of the bedroom came from the sound of a connection. Everyone was shocked, followed by Gu Jiao's cold shout: "I still want to escape!"
"Ah! Miss Gu!" Eunuch Qin's expression changed drastically, and he greeted the master of Renshou Palace, "Hurry! Go and have a look!"
