Guo Chong frowned quietly and thought. Lin Jue's judgment was basically consistent with his own. From the beginning, he thought that Concubine Rong could not have such a deep scheming and such a far-reaching strategy. However, the seriousness of this matter
Sex is there, but Guo Chong has to find out the truth and find the possible instigator behind the scenes.
"Lin Jue, if there is someone behind this, who do you think it is?" Guo Chong asked in a deep voice.
Lin Jue frowned, knowing that this was Guo Chong's further test of him. In fact, when he asked such a question, he already had a guess in his mind, and he just wanted to see his reaction.
"I cannot answer this question." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean? What do you mean you can't answer?" Guo Chong frowned.
Lin Juedao: "I insist on asking me to list the so-called candidates. It is not impossible for me to do so, but this is completely speculation without factual basis. What is the difference between my doing this and trying to cling to others? It is also a false accusation without evidence.
As I said before, the emperor can thoroughly investigate this matter and find the person behind the scenes, provided that this person or this force exists. I have expressed my opinion, and I tend to believe that Concubine Rong did it herself. So I can't talk nonsense.
Please forgive me for speaking gibberish, Your Majesty."
Guo Chong sneered: "I'm just afraid that you know who it is but refuse to tell me."
Lin Jue lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: "I dare not take your Majesty's words seriously. If Your Majesty views me like this, please give me death. How dare I protect someone who conspires against me?"
Lu Wu was also frightened and fell to her knees, at a loss.
Guo Chong stared at Lin Jue for a long time, frowned and said: "Everyone, get up, I'm just talking. You were just a child back then and had nothing to do with this matter. Hey, I'm really exhausted mentally and physically. I ask myself to treat people with sincerity, and treat those around me with sincerity.
He also took good care of me, but who could have expected that such a betrayal would happen to me. Lin Jue, do you know what it feels like to be betrayed? It's very uncomfortable. I wish I could cut the person who betrayed me into pieces to eliminate the hatred in my heart.
"
Lin Jue stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, I feel very sorry that something like this happened."
Lin Jue turned to Concubine Rong and sighed: "Concubine Rong... Hey... Concubine Rong, how could you be so confused back then? How could you do such ridiculous things? Look at the pain the emperor is in, how hurt are you?
You have won the emperor's heart. But what did you get? The third prince... no... then Guo Hao is also dead, and his daughter has been homeless for so many years. She has no father or mother for so many years. She doesn't know where her roots are. What do you think?
Is it worth it?”
Concubine Rong shed tears and sighed: "Yes, I didn't gain anything. Instead, I lost a lot and hurt a lot of people. I can only die to forgive my sins. Your Majesty, you must not be angry and hurt the dragon's body. I will not do it."
It’s worth your sadness and anger.”
Guo Chong said in a deep voice: "What's the use of talking about this now? You made a big mistake and I can't forgive you. If you still have some conscience, you should not hide anything and tell me who is instigating you behind the scenes.
?Who encouraged you to do this heinous act? That is your sincere repentance."
Concubine Rong glanced at Lin Jue, gritted her teeth and replied: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to talk, it's because no one is instructing me. How can I start talking about it? As Lin Jue said, I can't be careless.
Just make false accusations against others."
Guo Chong said angrily: "Bitch, if you refuse to repent, you will die unjustly."
Concubine Rong's face turned pale and she lowered her head and said nothing.
The room fell into a brief silence. Suddenly Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask Concubine Rong. I wonder if your Majesty will agree."
Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue in confusion, nodded and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Lin Jue said: "I suddenly remembered something that Lu Wu told me. Lu Wu said that the empress once told her that the death of the third prince was very strange, and the empress suspected that there was fraud. I would like to ask the empress if this was the case.
.”
Guo Chong was stunned, wondering why Lin Jue suddenly mentioned this matter. But listening to his words, it seemed that there was something strange about Guo Hao's death that year. This made Guo Chong suspicious, and he looked at Concubine Rong in confusion.
Concubine Rong was also a little surprised and confused. She didn't know what Lin Jue meant by saying this at this time. Indeed, Guo Hao's death had always been a shadow in her heart, and she always felt that something was fishy. But this was just a guess.
, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the third prince suffered from constant diarrhea before his death, and the result of the diagnosis by the imperial doctor was only similar to dysentery, but no medicine worked, and he could only watch him die in his arms. Although this incident
It was strange, but Concubine Rong could only doubt in her heart, and did not dare to doubt Zhang Yang randomly. What was Lin Jue's intention in mentioning this matter at this moment?
After all, Concubine Rong is a smart person. At this time, even if she doesn't know Lin Jue's intentions, she understands that Lin Jue must have some purpose. From what Lin Jue said before, Lin Jue is trying his best to excuse himself, so Concubine Rong decides to go with it.
Answer according to Lin Jue's words.
"Oh, is this the case? It is indeed true. Guo Hao's death is unforgettable to me, and I have always been unable to calm down. So I talked about it while chatting with Lu Wu." Concubine Rong said hurriedly.
"I heard from Lu Wu that the empress told him that the third prince Guo Hao suddenly suffered from diarrhea after admiring the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival night one year. Various treatments failed, and he died after a delay of more than a month, right? The empress said that there were some doubts in it.
Can you tell me in detail?" Lin Jue said.
Concubine Rong looked at Guo Chong's gloomy face, which showed a hint of surprise and expectation. It was obvious that the emperor was also waiting for her answer, so she bit her silver teeth and said in a deep voice: "I didn't want to do that.
Mentioned it, but since Lin Jue asked, I will talk about that incident. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival when Guo Hao was ten years old. The emperor was still the prince at that time. That night we were admiring the moon in the back garden of the prince's mansion. After that night, Guo Hao
Hao had unbearable abdominal pain and constant diarrhea. The imperial doctor diagnosed him as dysentery and prescribed a prescription to treat dysentery, but it couldn't be cured at all. In the end... in the end... he just watched helplessly as he died."
Concubine Rong shed tears. Thinking of what happened back then, she felt hurt in her heart. Not only because of the pain of Guo Hao's death, but also because Guo Hao's death was a turning point in her life. After Guo Hao's death, she lost the opportunity to fight for supremacy in the harem.
Capital. From then on, she could only watch Mei Fei flaunting her face in front of her. Everything she risked and did was in vain. A large part of her tears were shed because of this matter.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Mother, are you sure it's dysentery?"
Concubine Rong said: "It's what the imperial doctors said. I don't know any medical skills, so I can only listen to their diagnosis."
Lin Jue nodded and was about to speak, but Guo Chong couldn't help but interrupted: "Lin Jue, what do you mean by asking this? What do you want to say?"
Lin Jue bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I just feel that it is very strange. Dysentery can be cured by ordinary doctors. Why is it that the third prince Guo Hao's dysentery cannot be cured even by imperial doctors? This seems a bit unreasonable."
Guo Chong shouted coldly: "I'm afraid you're crazy. What I have to deal with now is the matter of swapping packages. What are you doing with this? What's your intention? Fortunately, the imperial doctor didn't cure him, otherwise this Xibei bastard would be allowed to pretend to be a fake. My son, I don’t know how much harm it will cause. He dies well, I, Mr. Guo, will be blessed by God. This is God helping me, Mr. Guo.”
Concubine Rong sighed softly: "Your Majesty, after all, that was your most beloved son."
Guo Chong shouted: "What son? That's someone else's son, what does it have to do with me? Do you still have the guts to say that he is my son? It's really hateful."
Concubine Rong looked pale and wanted to say something, but found that she had nothing to say.
Lin Jue hurriedly changed the subject and asked softly: "Is it better for me to tell you how Guo Hao got sick that night? Why did he suddenly have diarrhea? Did he eat something unclean?"
Concubine Rong looked at Lin Jue in shock. She saw Lin Jue's eyes flickering. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something. Lin Jue wanted to bring out the death of Guo Hao and the people involved in it. , once this matter was brought out, the water in the harem became even more turbid. Concubine Rong thought, since the matter had come to this, she might not be able to escape death. Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai and others who reported the matter behind the scenes just wanted to die. , do they want the Queen Mother to be implicated so that they can severely attack the harem power that supports Guo Mian? Their fundamental purpose is actually to make Guo Xu become the prince. Once they lose the support of the Queen Mother and themselves, and the emperor becomes suspicious of Prince Liang's palace, then Guo Xu It is almost impossible for Mian to become the prince. In the final analysis, it is still a fight for the throne.
Lin Jue obviously wanted to drag Concubine Mei into the water and completely mess up the whole thing. Even if the emperor was suspicious of Concubine Mei, it would have a huge negative impact on Guo Xu. In that case, It would be impossible for Guo Xu to successfully defeat Guo Mian.
Even before I die, I will drag you with me, and we will die together. This is what Concubine Rong read from Lin Jue's words and deeds.
"Yes. This matter is extremely strange. That night, Guo Hao was sitting with me to admire the moon. Does the emperor remember it? The emperor also ordered him to compose a poem about appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He also greatly praised him. What sentence..." Concubine Rong nodded and said loudly.
Guo Chong snorted silently, of course he remembered what happened that day. Before his death, Guo Hao was his favorite son. He was smart and alert. Guo Chong liked to take him with him wherever he went. Even though he was dissatisfied with his appearance in his heart. Some doubts, but still can't restrain his joy for him. Even now, thinking of Guo Hao's clever appearance back then, Guo Chong still can't hate him. The person who committed the evil is the adult, not Guo Hao. What reason does he have to hate this A child who is very close to me.
That night, Guo Hao composed a poem about admiring the moon. It was very literary. Guo Chong was very happy and gave Guo Hao a sip of osmanthus wine and a pair of jade unicorn jade pendants. But that night, Guo Hao began Diarrhea. Guo Chong once thought it was because he rewarded him with drinking. After all, Guo Hao was just a child. But soon the imperial doctor confirmed that this had nothing to do with drinking. He said that it was due to a bad stomach and dysentery. However, the condition It was so serious that it was hard to understand. The imperial doctor in the palace was helpless. After dragging on for a few months, Guo Hao died. Before Guo Hao died, Guo Chong did not dare to look at him, because Guo Hao was already skinny and skinny. It was like a skeleton. This incident was a big blow to Guo Chong. Because of this incident, Guo Chong had always loved Concubine Rong for so many years, partly because of the pain and pity caused by Guo Hao's death.
