My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

But this was his original idea. Now the pills he took contained many nerve-stimulating substances, so he was much more paranoid than before.

It seems that when the prince ascends to the throne, he seeks power, so he naturally takes great precautions.

So he hurriedly called Eunuch Liu outside the door, and then said.

Go to the East Palace and call me the prince and Prime Minister Guo. I want to see what they two have to say!

Yes, Your Majesty.

When Eunuch Liu left, he took a special look at the young apprentice beside him. The man was very discerning and took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to secretly go to Changchun Palace.

Since His Majesty the Emperor wants to interrogate the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo, the matter must be very serious, so it is necessary to tell the Queen. After all, he knows how long the Emperor can live, and he also knows who will be in charge of the palace in the future. Clear as day.

Of course, the wind is blowing towards the future!

Changchun Palace got the news first, so Empress Guo would not let go of the imperial concubine and the fourth prince. If she had the final say, the emperor would not survive until now. It is simply a fantasy to think about overthrowing the prince now.

So he immediately gave instructions to Eunuch Hu next to him.

Go ahead and have people quietly surround Yanqing Palace. Everything is ready. If they dare to attack the prince and his father, then I will let the imperial concubine and the fourth prince come and go today with or without their lives!

Mother, are you too anxious? Why don't you first see what Mr. Guo has to say? General Gu is already heavily responsible for going south. Maybe this is part of their plan. If we act rashly, I’m just afraid that it will scare off the enemy.”

Eunuch Hu has followed the Queen for many years and is a close confidant. Naturally, everything he says is for the Queen's benefit. In his opinion, it is not easy to cultivate these forces. Don't listen to the wind or rain and call everyone out. If Guo Xiang can resolve it easily then, they will not only lose a trump card, but also attract the emperor's attention.

If the imperial concubine bites her back, they will really lose more than they gain.

After hearing this, Queen Guo was silent for a moment, then changed her mind and said.

Then you send someone to keep an eye on the situation in Yanqing Palace. If the prince and his father are threatened in any way, it will not be too late for me to give the order!

Yes, concubine.

After receiving the edict, the prince and Prime Minister Guo both came separately. They were almost in front of the Yanqing Palace when they met. The two looked at each other with the determination and calmness of a fish taking the bait.

After entering Yanqing Palace, he straightened his back and walked towards the main hall without fear at all.

In the main hall, the emperor, the imperial concubine and the four princes were all sitting upright, looking as if they were about to raise an army to punish the emperor. However, the prince and Guo Xiang were calm and saluted the emperor.

My son has met the emperor and the imperial concubine.

I have met the emperor and the imperial concubine.

The fourth prince beside him also stood up and spoke.

Prince, Prime Minister Guo, you are polite.

After he said this, his eyes were filled with unconcealable pride. Guo Xiang glanced at him coldly. He was indeed a man of great ability. He couldn't hide such a small thing. It was a joke.

But after thinking about it, I still have to return the gift that should be returned.

So after a few words of greeting, the emperor in the seat opened his mouth to question.

Prince, Prime Minister Guo, I came to see you two today. Do you know why?

My son, I don't know.

I don't know, veteran.

Seeing them like this, the emperor felt angry in his heart, but in order to interrogate clearly, he suppressed it, and then said to the people outside.

Bring it in!

yes.

Soon, several heavy boxes of fabrics were brought in again. The fourth prince could not sit still, so he stepped forward to open them, and spoke with eloquent accusations to the prince and Prime Minister Guo.

I was ordered by my father to supervise the shipping at the dock. By coincidence, the people from the Gu family in Jinling City hit my gun last night. They came at night and my people seized these things. I don't know that the prince Do your Highness and Prime Minister Guo have any explanations?

The emperor was naturally unhappy because the fourth prince was making some noise and seizing the throne, but what he said was exactly what he wanted to know, so he didn't pursue it and just looked at the thing coldly and said.

Prince and Prime Minister Guo, please take a closer look. These are all good things.

The two of them had received Gu Shaoyu's letter a long time ago, so they knew exactly what was in it, but they still had to pretend to be a little bit different on their faces. Then they saw the prince saying viciously.

Bold, such a thing from the past would be included in the cargo ship! May I ask, is the person in charge of transporting this cargo ship a member of the Gu family?

His words made the fourth prince stunned for a moment.

After all, when he arrested the person, he only heard the person say that he was Gu Shaoyu's cousin. As for whether he was from the seventh house, he hadn't had time to investigate clearly, so he couldn't answer it right now.

What does the prince mean by talking about him?

The prince glanced at the fourth prince, full of provocation and disdain, then calmed his eyes and spoke calmly to the emperor.

Father, I don't know. The person in the seventh room of the Gu family has evil intentions. Shao Yu discovered it a few days ago, but in order not to alert others, he didn't report it. After he found out the real evidence, he sent the news. , I just received it, and I asked my father to take a look.

After the prince finished speaking, he took out a thick booklet from his sleeve. It seemed that he was well prepared. The fourth prince and the noble concubine looked at each other and could see that they were a little panicked.

Is it possible that this is actually a game?

The emperor didn't have much thought about this at the moment. Looking at the things reported in the book, one page of evidence was larger than one page.

There was the covert enclosure of land by the third room of the Gu family, the hiding of the remains of Marshal Gu by the seventh room of the Gu family, and then the corruption-related matters jointly investigated by Mr. Xing, the river transport envoy, in the past few days, which were also listed word for word. list and specific amounts.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, it was a good thing that he had just taken the elixir, otherwise he would really be unable to breathe.

He said with a red face and an angry look.

It's crazy, I'm not dead yet, but they are doing so many things behind the scenes. Do they really think that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away?

When Guo Xiang saw this, he immediately came out and said comfortingly.

Your Majesty, please calm down. Fortunately, everything is under your control. Now Shao Yu and Mr. Xing have almost searched the whole city of Jinling. If we go deeper, we may be able to shake the country, so I think it is time to close the net.

As soon as his words came out, the prince nodded affirmatively, while the fourth prince and the noble concubine were still confused.
