Chapter 547 Epilogue 3(1/4)

Princess Jian’s family is also a great family. But Princess Jian is a dignified prince. Princess Jian’s step-sister became a partial concubine and did not humiliate the family. So Princess Jian’s family agreed.

Only Princess Jian disagreed.

The third sister was pregnant. Princess Jian asked someone to hide it from King Jian and sent someone to take the third sister to the mansion, but secretly took her away. Not many people know about this.

Then, the third sister died and gave birth to a daughter.

That daughter is Hanhui. Princess Jian asked someone to take it to kill her, just pretending that she was not aware of it.

King Jian didn't know about these things at that time. King Jian was still looking for his sister-in-law everywhere.

However, the rest of Princess Jane's family knew about this.

They couldn't have had a breakup with Princess Jian just because the third girl made a mistake, so they hid and said nothing.

Princess Jian's other sisters knew that she was cruel and stopped interacting with her from then on.

Princess Jian had this hidden feeling in her heart and held it in for more than ten years. Later, she became older and was moved by her daughter's misfortune and caused her mental illness.

She was always afraid that ghosts would come to take their lives if she killed someone. She could not tell anyone about these words, and she got sick day after day.

King Jian was not aware of it at first.

Later, Princess Jian's condition became worse and worse, and finally told King Jian about this past without realizing it.

King Jian missed his former lover and wanted to find the lost daughter.

He thought to himself, probably the child is dead, right?

Gu Jinzhi accidentally discovered Hanhui. She was just thinking wildly at that time. Will Hanhui have something to do with Prince Jian’s Mansion? After all, Hanhui’s eyebrows look very much like Princess Jian.

Then, she sent someone to find Hanhui's adoptive mother privately.

Hanhui's adoptive mother told Gu Jinzhi that Hanhui was a fellow villager who was a servant in a wealthy family and said she wanted to kill him. That fellow villager was very pitiful, so she handed Hanhui over to him.

Her adoptive mother.

Hanhui's adoptive parents were married for four years without children. The couple was kind, and the fellow villager gave him some money, so they accepted Hanhui. Hanhui arrived at home, and within half a year, Hanhui's adoptive mother became pregnant.

Hanhui's adoptive parents thought Hanhui was their lucky star. From then on, they really treated her like their biological daughter.

When they adopted Hanhui, there was a jade pendant in Hanhui's cradle.

No matter how difficult the life was, Hanhui's adoptive mother couldn't bear to sell the jade pendant for food, and would rather starve to death.

The kind old woman always hoped that one day in the future, Hanhui's family would come to her. In this way, Hanhui could live a good life. She knew that Hanhui's background was not simple.

Gu Jinzhi sent someone to ask for the jade pendant. The old woman knew that the Luyang Palace was Hanhui's master's house, so she gave it to her.

That jade pendant was the token of love for King Jian to his sister-in-law back then.

Gu Jinzhi kept it until the people from Prince Jian’s mansion found Luzhou and asked Zhu Zhongjun to steal their iron ore back then.

It was not until two months ago that Zhu Zhongjun's army arrived in Henan that he handed Hanhui and the jade pendant to King Jian.

King Jian wants this daughter, and he has always been ashamed of Hanhui and his daughter. No matter what conditions Zhu Zhongjun has offered, King Jian needs to take Hanhui back; Prince Jian did not object because he did not want Hanhui to be left out.

It has damaged his reputation for his lost mother and Prince Jian's Mansion.

Therefore, Prince Jian’s Mansion and Zhu Zhongjun formed an alliance.

****

After two months of alliance, they were about to fight to the capital.

But Jingli suddenly strengthened its resistance.

Not only that, many civil officials were sentenced to exile.

Zhu Zhongjun and his advisers thought at first that these civil officials were sentenced to exile only after they advocated giving up resistance.

Later, Yanshan said: "Dad, why do you want to exile them? Wouldn't it be better to lock them up directly? Now that you are exiled, aren't you afraid that we will gather talents?"

Zhu Zhongjun had this doubt in his heart.

But he didn't say it.

Because of this moment, he could not tolerate any incidents. He was afraid that something bad would affect everyone's morale.

Yanshan raised it in person, and everyone looked at Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun had no choice but to say, "That's the spies in the capital, check the details of these exiled ministers..."

Most of the exiled ministers were third-rank and fourth-rank civil officials.

After checking, they found out that they did not advocate giving up resistance at all.

Therefore, their exile made people even more confused.

"...I heard that Emperor Hongde fell ill, and now the Empress Dowager is in charge of the affairs behind the curtain and assisting the eldest prince." Within two days, another spy reported.

Zhu Zhongjun and his son were a little stunned at the same time.

They all knew that Gu Jinzhi was next to the Empress Dowager.

Could it be related to Gu Jinzhi?

People in the capital have been in panic recently.

Many people moved north and fled.

After the emperor fell ill, the empress dowager ruled the country from behind the curtain and assisted the eldest prince. She suddenly exiled more than a dozen civil officials, which made people confused.

Yuan Yuye was also confused.

The minister who ordered the exiled to be neither a military general nor a member of Yuan Yuye's faction, nor a minister of talent.

When these civil officials were exiled, the court was completely controlled by military generals.

Yuan Yuye gradually understood the empress dowager's meaning, and he wanted to rely on the military to support the court.

As a result, in March, the capital was still surrounded by rebels.

After persisting for half a month, the city was broken.

When the city was broken, Emperor Hongde died of illness.

Yuan Yuye was arrested.

After Zhu Zhongjun and his son entered the city, they immediately rushed to the palace and looked for Gu Jinzhi everywhere.

But there was no Gu Jinzhi.

Zhu Zhongjun's eyes were so anxious that his eyes turned red.

"...Dad, did you escape with the queen, the queen mother and others?" Yanshan said, "Don't be anxious."

After the city was broken, the Jinyiwei in the capital escorted the queen, the queen mother and others and fled from the capital. Zhu Zhongjun's people had already gone to chase after him, and they would sooner or later.

No matter what, Zhu Zhongjun needs to capture the princes and others.

He needs someone to abdicate to him.

The name of his uprising is to clear the king's side rather than to plot against rebellion.

Now that Yuan Yuye has been arrested and the emperor is dead, Zhu Zhongjun can't carry himself to the throne himself. He needs to assist a prince first, and then let the prince abdicate him.

In this way, he was justified.

"Yanshan, stay here to handle affairs, I will take people to chase the queen and the others." Zhu Zhongjun searched the palace and finally found Gu Jinzhi. He thought that Gu Jinzhi might have been taken hostage by the queen and the queen mother.

.

Yanshan was stunned.

"Dad. Now everything is in trouble, you can't leave!" Yanshan said, "My second brother and I go chase..."

Zhu Zhongjun shook his head.

"Your mother and I have a good relationship, I will definitely find her this time." Zhu Zhongjun said, "You go and find her. If you miss it, she will endure hardship again."

None of the father and son can convince each other.

Finally, the guard ran over and said, "I found the princess."

Gu Jinzhi hid in the cellar of the cold palace.

On the day the city was broken, she hid with Aoxue. They were very familiar with the cold palace.

There was a cellar next to the cold palace. It used to store vegetables and then abandoned it. Most people didn't know that Gu Jinzhi once lived in the cold palace. She touched the inside and outside the cold palace.

The day before the city broke, Gu Jinzhi had that premonition.

So, she called Aoxue and the two of them hid themselves first.

They hid in the cellar for three days.

Until Gu Jinzhi vaguely heard the sound of footsteps. The footsteps were heavy and fast, unlike the guards in the palace. Even if the guards in the palace were running quickly, their steps were very light. This is the rule.

This kind of footsteps should be from Luzhou.

Only then did Gu Jinzhi and Aoxue climb out of the cellar.

Aoxue is still worried.
