Gu Fenglin came back soon. Mu Yunhan helped him clean up, then asked him to lie down on the bed, beat his legs and pinched his arms: "Are you tired?"
Gu Fenglin patted the pillow and asked her to lie down: "Let's talk."
Mu Yunhan blew out the lamp: "What happened?"
Gu Fenglin said softly: "Today's enthronement ceremony, there is an assassination attempt."
Mu Yunhan was shocked: "Such a thing happened!"
Gu Fenglin smiled bitterly: "I didn't foresee it at all..."
During the enthronement ceremony, a eunuch suddenly rushed over and stabbed him with a sharpened copper hairpin, saying that he was avenging the late emperor.
It is tantamount to pointing out that the death of the former emperor was planned by the new emperor.
Although this eunuch did not cause any physical harm to the new emperor, the damage to his reputation was difficult to reverse.
Originally, the death of the late emperor was very mysterious, and many ministers did not know the inside story. After hearing this eunuch shouting such a sentence, it was inevitable to make some guesses.
When something like this happened during the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor was so angry that he ordered the commander of the Royal Forest Army who was on guard to be dragged down and beaten on the spot.
In order to explain clearly, he had to cry out in front of all the ministers about the murder of his father and king by King Xingling, and he also ordered people to invite the sick Meng Xiang to rescue him.
Although the matter was resolved peacefully, the atmosphere and mood were ruined.
The new emperor was furious and ordered that the real culprit behind the incident must be found out within three days.
Mu Yunhan said quickly: "Isn't this case falling into your hands?"
Gu Fenglin said: "No, this case was handed over to King Shou again."
Mu Yunhan was speechless for a moment.
The new emperor may have suspected that King Shou was the envoy.
Even if there is no suspicion, King Shou is still the one receiving the most attention.
The most ruthless imperial family is a living example.
She crawled into Gu Fenglin's arms: "Do I blame you?"
"I didn't mention it, but I was a little unhappy." Gu Fenglin patted her head: "If you interact with Prince Shou's Mansion in the future, be careful."
"I understand." Mu Yunhan said: "Since Meng Xiang was invited back at this time, he will definitely rise in a short period of time. Your Majesty will definitely support him. If he is bent on dealing with you, what will you do?"
Meng's hostility and rejection of them was already obvious, plus the Queen Mother in the palace, Gu Yilan outside the palace, and some ministers and dignitaries.
Once they join forces, Gu Fenglin's life will be very difficult, and she is really worried.
"I think they will definitely use this matter to criticize you, so you have to prepare in advance."
Gu Fenglin said calmly: "I thought of it, don't worry, just feel free to handle your own affairs.
Even if His Majesty wants to suppress me, it will only be a temporary thing. He will still use me in the end, and he will not believe Gu Yilan."
Mu Yunhan thought about the same truth. Those in power are just a slap in the face.
"Then remember to be cautious when discussing things with Uncle Jiu." Even though she knew that he was more experienced than her, she still felt uneasy.
Gu Fenglin smiled slightly and patted her back: "Go to sleep."
Because of what happened in the palace, early the next morning, Mr. Gu and others all went to work on their errands, and Gu Fenglin was summoned to the palace.
At this sensitive moment, all entertainment activities have stopped.
Mu Yunhan simply went out to inspect the shop to check the accounts, and then returned to the Priest Palace to visit Mu Ying, giving Mrs. Gu a chance to lay the groundwork.
When I came back in the evening, I received the news that Mrs. Gu was not moving at all, but the mother-in-law next to Zhou had returned to Zhou's house.
