Chapter 528
: Slitting the cocoon
Gu Yue, who took the initiative to greet her, invited Eunuch Xu and Xiang Ying to sit for tea. After a while of greetings, Xiang Ying also forgot that she was coming to greet the queen and the eldest princess.
Of course, Eunuch Xu will not expose this layer.
"I recently heard that Lord Gu has become the topic of Chudu again. As expected, heroes are young, and they will stir up storms wherever they go."
"You are so proud of me, and I am really innocent this time. It was Lord Huangfu who pushed me behind my back."
He knew that Gu Yue could understand the whole story, but he never thought that he would say it directly. Eunuch Xu was a little surprised, but immediately realized that it was probably Gu Yue who was already in mind.
"It seems that Lord Gu has already thought of a solution? Our family is very curious. I wonder if you can listen?"
"It's all right. Brother Xiang Ying is here too. After returning, you can tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
This sentence surprised Xiang Ying and was pleasantly surprised, because Gu Yue was probably expressing kindness, at least it also showed that he knew clearly who the things he had experienced involved. At the same time, he was not stingy to let the prince know what was going on.
"I will definitely give it to you all."
"Well, then I'll tell you, this matter is actually really innocent...
Originally, I was ordered by the emperor to go south to handle the job, but it was okay. Finally, after I came back, my Majesty issued a new order before I received the reward. Naturally, I did not complain at all, and I just handed the flame burning and the fourth-grade inscription to His Highness the Fifth Prince. As for why it was so sudden, I, the person who just came back, could not understand, right?
But on the second day, rumors spread on the street, which alarmed many people from top to bottom, especially Lord Huang, Jingzhao Yin, who came here several times. Unfortunately, I suddenly had a new idea and went to seclusion to refine alchemy. This made several wives suffer. After coming out, I knew a rough idea. But I did do this, just beat the third prince. As for why, I can't remember it clearly...
But, this matter has been a long time since I forgot why, why did someone mention it at this moment? I have always liked to study, so I unconsciously sorted out the whole story. Finally, I found that the initiator was Lord Huangfu, but why did he raise it at this time?
After thinking about it, at least I had little to do with going to the south, so there was only one thing that aroused his interest, that was the incident of the Fifth Prince coming down to the Academy.
But I still can't figure out what the relationship is between the two, because I know nothing about His Highness the Fifth Prince. However, on the way back from the palace, His Highness the Fifth Prince mentioned that His Highness the Crown Prince often set up family banquets and invited several brothers to gather.
Originally, this was a good thing, right? Brothers and brothers are a blessing for Da Chu, but is this really the case?"
He paused for a moment, and Gu Yue looked at Xiang Ying playfully, but the latter's face was really thick enough and he was completely indifferent. He seemed to have known that Gu Yue would be sarcastic...
Without any response, Gu Yue had to continue to be unable to have a cold show, "We are the Great Chu, I didn't know much about it before, but in the past few months, there will always be major problems because of the less harmonious between the princes. So it is not difficult to imagine that the so-called "family banquet" of His Royal Highness is nothing more than ridicule and mocking the two failed brothers. This is nothing wrong, it is what he will do, but is this really good?
It is not difficult to imagine that, over and over again, the Crown Prince was so ignorant of his own ignorance and no importance, which made His Majesty unhappy again, so he had the role of the fifth prince, which was to ask me to give him the flame burning and the fourth-grade inscription.
And this is just the beginning, just a signal. Are the adults who have been anxious all day long because of their failure to stand in the sidelines all the time? They are looking forward to the arrival of this day? They are looking forward to the prince who can compete with His Royal Highness the Prince again? So they all turned their attention to His Royal Highness the fifth prince. The more kind you want, the more kind you are, because this is what they need, it is related to their future and even life and death!
Although, my brother-in-law does do some stupid things, don’t think I’m too rude. At least I think this kind of behavior of specially inviting a few younger brothers to the so-called ‘family dinner’ and then scolding them is not something he thought of!”
You are really rude to say this. You don’t give me any face at all. Even Xiang Ying couldn’t continue to calm down. But he knew that Gu Yue would not be groundless and there was no need to make a special sarcasm. What he said must be a deeper explanation.
"So I got a good idea of the real relationship between the two brothers, especially the life of the fifth prince. Well, that's quite exciting, especially those in the harem... Well, I can't say this, it's too presumptuous. In short, the fifth prince has always been afraid and jealous of the crown prince, and the crown prince did not treat the fifth prince as his younger brother at all, but why did he specially invite the fifth prince to "family banquet" with him? Because when he was about to criticize the third and fourth brothers, wouldn't it be almost true that there was no listener next to him?
Then, on the other hand, is the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince happening like this? Could it be that His Highness the Fifth Prince specially arranged and instigated? It is likely that his Highness the Crown Prince reminded him of his own state through some small but easy-to-understand things. However, Brother Xiang Ying can ask me why my brother-in-law suddenly got fucked...
Ahem, the tongue is wrong...
But I think this matter is. If nothing unexpected happens, it is probably the fifth prince who instigated it, otherwise his goal would not be able to achieve his goal, which is to make His Majesty disappoint the crown prince again. It is precisely because of this that the fifth prince has a real opportunity, an opportunity that is more hidden, safer and more opportunity after the third and fourth brothers fail one after another!
Of course, I can't understand all this as much as I can, because I don't have the time to understand the relationship between them and their brothers, but there is one person who is really very leisurely and can understand it very well, that is Lord Huangfu!
Although I have not understood how he saw the clue so far, I have understood why he wanted to cheat me, that is, muddle the water, and at the same time, I am alert to continue to use chess pieces to reveal the true face of the fifth prince. If he does not do well, he will probably continue to put in the wrong, reveal more of my faults, and find more people to criticize him...
And I have already understood the character of the fifth prince at this moment, and even more understand the true purpose of Lord Huangfu, that is, he does not want to see the Great Chu royal family, that is, the Xiang family brothers clash again!
That’s right, you two heard it right. In the eyes of Lord Huangfu, His Highness the Fifth Prince is the one who is most likely to kill His Highness the Crown Prince, even surpassing the third and fourth brothers!”
After hearing this conclusion, it was not only Xiang Ying, but also Eunuch Xu could not continue to calm down. "Master Gu, are you saying that this is what Lord Huangfu cares about the most?"
"Maybe that night, the Xiang family had already shed too much blood, and he didn't want to see the Xiang family bleeding again..."
Although these were Gu Yue's imagination, he felt that it was almost impossible to be separated from each other, otherwise Lord Huangfu would not have had such a big fight, especially now.
"He actually...ah..."
When talking about what happened that night, Master Xu was extremely sad, and the scar seemed to be in pain.
Xiang Ying could no longer keep up with the pace of thinking, because what Gu Yue said was even more complicated and exaggerated than what he guessed. This is not only about whether he can save the position of the prince, but also about the life and death of the prince!
"Mr. Gu, in fact, I am here today to tell you about information, that is, Concubine Hua, the mother of the fifth prince. Recently, many people have been giving gifts, but she has not received them."
"It is obviously a hard-working family, and her life in the palace is not peaceful, but she can not be moved by gold and silver. Why? What she has made is even bigger. It shows that although this person does not learn, it is not ignorant. She also knows that the more she is, the more she should be low-key and not ostentatious. But because of this, it just exposed the painstaking efforts of their mothers. After so many years, it depends on whether they can survive!
But whether they win or not is not their own decision, because first of all, it is the meaning of Your Majesty. Secondly, it depends on your intentions, and also on the meaning of the Empress. That is naturally the meaning of the following..."
Gu Yue’s statement is to show his attitude, but what he said is not true.
Because, what does it have to do with who is the crown prince and who is the emperor of Chu? As long as you don’t interfere with his own affairs...
But that position is related to many people, and if these people are not well-versed in their ideas, they will expose their anger with Gu Yue, such as Queen Chu and Lord Huangfu.
But Xiang Ying didn't need to know so much, and he knew that he only needed to understand the last sentence, "The Queen's meaning is Gu Yue's meaning", and will the Queen ignore her son? So no matter how much Gu Yue doesn't like him, his "brother-in-law", he has to take care of it.
As for Your Majesty’s meaning, since the matter is likely to be instigated by the fifth prince, then the prince cannot be blamed for this matter. What’s more, the fifth prince really killed the prince, which is definitely not what His Majesty wants to see.
Similarly, Eunuch Xu mostly doesn’t want to see the Xiang family brothers kill each other. As for Lord Huangfu, if everything is as Gu Yue said, then even if this old man stands behind the prince in the most obscure way, and with him, the prince’s position will probably be more stable!
"I wonder what Lord Gu thinks His Majesty would have?" Eunuch Xu asked this seriously, because he did not come completely voluntarily.
"As a minister, how can you just guess the will of the holy people? But I am still the son-in-law of the current dynasty, so naturally I know Your Majesty's feelings for all the princes. The third and fourth brothers are still alive. Will Your Majesty want to see the prince's head and head differently?"
"Okay, then let's go to Lord Huangfu to see what he means..." The vicissitudes of life just now disappeared, and Eunuch Xu's mood seemed to have recovered.
