After Princess Qingping took Duanhua into the palace, she heard that the emperor was in Concubine Xian's palace, so she went directly to find him.
The emperor was having dinner in the palace of Concubine Xian. When he heard that Qingping and his daughter had entered the palace, he was surprised and said with a smile to Concubine Xian: "This Duanhua hasn't come to me for a few days to make trouble. If she doesn't make trouble, even Qingping
You didn’t even come into the palace to bother me, it’s getting late, why are the two of you here?”
Concubine Xian smiled back, "I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know that Duan Hua chased Zhou Gu to Jiangning County. He has been away from the capital for a long time. Didn't he come to make trouble for you? Now it seems that he is back."
The emperor was stunned, "What happened? What did Zhou Gu do in Jiangning County?"
Concubine Xian smiled, "There is an engagement agreement between the Protector's Palace and Jiangning Prefecture's Palace. Zhou Gu's fiancée is in Jiangning County. I heard that she is getting her haircut this year, so Zhou Gu went to Jiangning County in person to congratulate his fiancée on her haircut."
The emperor suddenly realized, "I remembered that I heard Li Quan mention it."
He ordered, "Li Quan, please invite them in!"
Princess Qingping took Duan Hua into the Xian Concubine Palace. After meeting the emperor and Xian Concubine, she started crying, "Brother Emperor, Zhou Gu bullied Duan Hua, you have to make the decision for Duan Hua."
Duanhua also cried, "Uncle Huang..."
The emperor doted on his only sister and niece, but when they saw the two of them crying after seeing him, he put down his chopsticks, frowned, and asked Duan Hua: "Stop crying, my uncle has made the decision for you. Why did that boy Zhou Gu bully you?"
you?"
Every time Duan Hua came to the palace to complain, she always complained that Zhou Gu ignored her. This was the first time and she burst into tears.
Duan Hua cried and told her that she heard that Zhou Gu and Xie Lin both went to Jiangning. She also wanted to go to Jiangning, but she was stopped by Zhou Gu's people on the way, and they tyrannically refused to let her go to Jiangning.
She clearly stated the bad things she had done when she returned to Beijing.
She didn't slander Zhou Gu, nor did she add any jealousy. What she said was all true. After all, she knew in her heart that slander was useless. Many people had witnessed it with their own eyes, including the witness Xie Lin.
After hearing this, the emperor looked at Duan Hua's wrist, frowned and tightened his eyebrows, a little annoyed, "That boy Zhou Gu, how could you let someone tie you up?"
Concubine Xian said distressedly at the side: "That's right, how can I tie my daughter up with a rope when she is so delicate and beautiful? Look, her skin and tender flesh are all covered with bruises. It has been there for the past few days.
No problem? Zhou Gu is too merciless."
Qingping cried, "Brother Emperor, Jiangning County is not the territory of the Zhou family. Why can Zhou Gu go, Xie Lin can go, but Duan Hua can't go?"
Duan Hua nodded and cried, "Uncle Huang, I just went to play."
In the car when they arrived, mother and daughter had already discussed it. They must not say that Duan Hua went to Jiangning County to cause trouble for Zhou Gu's young fiancée. Otherwise, it would be reasonable but not reasonable.
When the emperor heard this sentence, "Jiangning County is not the territory of the Zhou family," his face suddenly turned ugly, but he still asked Duan Hua, "Are you really going to play?"
Although the emperor had great power, he was still not confused. He also doubted whether Duan Hua was really going to play or chasing Zhou Gu.
Duan Hua kept crying, feeling extremely aggrieved and said, "Uncle Huang, I just went to play. I heard Jiangning is very fun..."
She paused for fear that the emperor would not believe it, and then cried and said: "Zhou Gu was afraid that I would bully her fiancée, so she wouldn't let me go, but I didn't want to bully her fiancée, so I just wanted to go and have fun, and see his fiancée by the way.
Can’t do it? Wuwuwu..."
Qingping cried on the side and said: "Brother Emperor, even if Duanhua had some thoughts, he didn't put them into action, right? Why did Zhou Gu restrict Duanhua's freedom? Control her and prevent her from going to Jiangning County? That little concubine?
Is there anything shameful? Why can't people see it?"
The emperor nodded when he heard this, "Well, there is some truth in what he said. Zhou Gu did go too far."
He asked: "Is Zhou Gu back?"
"Back!" Duan Hua continued to cry.
The queen ordered, "Li Quan, send someone to the Duke Protector's Mansion and call Zhou Gu to me. I also want to ask her why he can go to Jiangning County and Duanhua can't go to Jiangning County."
Li Quan responded and immediately sent someone.
Zhou Gu was still walking when Uncle Chen came to tell him that His Majesty had announced his entry into the palace. He knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he asked, "Is it Duanhua's business?"
Uncle Chen said yes and sighed, "I asked, Princess Qingping brought Princess Duanhua to the palace to complain. The mother and daughter are now crying in front of His Majesty."
Zhou Gu felt agitated. His Majesty told him that it was impossible for him not to go, so he could only go back to the house and change his clothes, quickly get dressed and walk out.
He walked to the door of the mansion, and the eldest princess Sheng'an was already being supported by someone. She walked out of the inner courtyard and said to Zhou Gu: "Grandma will accompany you into the palace."
Zhou Gu felt guilty, "It's so late, I'm bothering grandma."
He felt very sorry for tossing his grandmother even when it was already dark, but Duanhua, that lunatic, if he really didn't stop her and didn't do anything, she might have done something. Although with Su Rong's temperament,
Su Rong may not suffer a loss when Duan Hua arrives in Jiangning County, but due to Duan Hua's identity, even if he does not suffer a loss in Jiangning County, if Duan Hua returns to Beijing to file a complaint, like now, Su Rong will also suffer a loss.
He was going to suffer a loss no matter what, so it was better for him to take the loss.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an patted Zhou Gu's arm, "That girl Qingping is unreasonable and unreasonable. She gave birth to a daughter and was raised to follow her temper. She is extremely unruly. You did nothing wrong. You have straightened your back. There is no need to feel unjust.
Grandma makes the decision for you."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Grandfather and grandson entered the palace together in a car.
Hearing that the emperor was in the palace of Concubine Xian, Zhou Gu paused. The eldest prince born to Concubine Xian married the daughter of Nanping Marquis Mansion as the eldest prince concubine. The eldest prince wanted to use Nanping Marquis Mansion to win over Jiangzhou Governor Jiang Sheng, but in
Not long ago, he learned about it and reported it to the prince. The prince decisively took action and killed the Jiang family of Jiangzhou governor, which also ended the eldest prince's plan.
If it weren't for Su Rong, he wouldn't have known Ningchi, the eldest son of the Nanping Marquis Mansion, nor would he have known that the eldest prince had wooed Jiang Sheng, nor would he have repaid the prince for Jiang Sheng's downfall. The prince acted too quickly.
, the eldest prince was caught off guard and failed to save Jiang Sheng, but afterwards, the eldest prince would definitely react and learn that the most fundamental reason why Jiang Sheng was dealt with by the prince was to cut off his line of surrender to the eldest prince.
It is not a secret that he went to Jiangning County, and the eldest prince would also guess that he had something to do with it.
The eldest prince suffered such a big loss, and the concubine Xian probably hated him to death.
Zhou Gu whispered into the ear of the eldest princess Sheng'an: "Grandma, I have offended the eldest prince, and indirectly I have offended the virtuous concubine."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an paused and turned her head to look at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu whispered: "Because of the prince, Jiang Sheng, the former governor of Jiangzhou, wants to join the prince through a marriage alliance with the Nanping Marquis Mansion."
With just a few words, Princess Sheng'an understood and nodded, "Grandma understands."
Since we are in Concubine Xian's palace, it seems that today is not a good day, and Concubine Xian will definitely add fuel to the fire.
However, the eldest princess of Sheng'an was not afraid. The younger generation's affairs were not up to much. She looked calm and led the way to the Concubine Xian's palace.
Princess Qingping and Duanhua didn't cry anymore. After all, they were tired after crying for so long and were waiting for Zhou Gu to come. Qingping felt angry and thought that she must make Zhou Gu suffer because her daughter liked Zhou Gu.
, is Zhou Gu's blessing, why could Zhou Gu not look down on her, but fall in love with a little concubine? Although Duanhua was angry with Zhou Gu, at the moment he just wanted to behead Zi Ye, who had attacked her, to satisfy his hatred.
Then if there is a chance, Su Rong will be tortured to death.
The emperor was thinking of using Zhou Gu to attack the Duke Protector's Palace, and Concubine Xian was also thinking about how to use this matter to fan the flames, add fuel to the fire, and remove Zhou Gu from the camp of the Prince of the East Palace.
Several people in Concubine Xian's palace had their own thoughts. When they heard that the eldest princess Sheng'an was also here, the emperor and Concubine Xian visibly looked stunned. Princess Qingping's face froze. Duanhua subconsciously pursed his lips, thinking about his own day today.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get this justice. Who doesn't know that Princess Sheng'an loves Zhou Gu the most.
Princess Sheng'an came in and greeted the emperor.
The emperor stood up quickly and said, "My aunt is about to leave the ceremony, why are you here? I only announced that Zhou Gu is here to see you, why did I alarm you?"
Princess Sheng'an smiled and said: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for a few days. I miss you so much. I'll follow Brother Gu and come here to have a look."
"Aunt, please sit down quickly." The emperor personally helped the eldest princess Sheng'an sit down, and he sat next to the eldest princess.
After the eldest princess of Sheng'an chatted with the emperor, she looked at the concubine Xian and said with a smile: "A few days ago, at the birthday banquet of the old lady of Cheng'en's residence, I met the eldest grandma of Cheng'en's residence. She has a pair of children.
They were all extremely outstanding. She told me that she misses her, but this time the eldest daughter-in-law returned to Beijing in a hurry, so she could only follow him back and forth in a hurry, and could not enter the palace to talk to her about sisterhood. Fortunately, she knew that she was doing well.
I feel relieved. I think that you two sisters are almost the same age, but the queen is more radiant. The eldest grandma takes care of the housework and takes care of the children, but she is not as beautiful as the queen."
