"Your Highness!"

Sun Li sent a letter.

Xihe opened it, glanced at it twice and couldn't help but sneered: "Go and bring Gu Qingyun."

The guards hurried out and soon brought the reluctant Gu Qingyun over. The boy looked fifteen or sixteen years old, staring at Xihe with eyes full of resentment, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

Xihe threw the letter directly on his desk: "Let's take a look."

Gu Qingyun glanced at her suspiciously, then picked it up unceremoniously. After just reading the first line, his expression changed and he lost his voice: "No way!"

Xihe sneered again and again: "Impossible? Did I deliberately find a fake news to deceive you?"

She stood up and picked up the envelope: "Mounted troops privately, secretly contacted General Liang Guo, and even transferred a batch of food from South Korea... Gu Qingyun, what do you think your brother wants to do?"

Gu Qingyun's expression kept changing, he didn't believe that these were things his brother had done.

"No." He shook his head vigorously and looked straight at her: "My Gu family is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and will never rebel. Fang Jinrong, there must be a mistake somewhere. If you send someone to check again, it must be a misunderstanding!"

"Of course I will check it out!"

Xihe's eyes remained calm: "What if the news is correct?"

She twitched the corner of her mouth, half-smiling: "Your eldest brother left alone, but what about your parents, the old Duke, and the women and children of your Gu family who stayed in the capital? Gu Qingyun, have you ever thought about this?"

Gu Qingyun's face instantly turned pale. He thought of those imperial guards, who were so powerful that one person could defeat hundreds of them!

He believed that as long as she wanted to, no one would be an obstacle to her, including the Gu family.

Gu Qingyun said with difficulty: "Princess..."

Xihe turned around and sat down, raised his chin, Sun Li immediately presented a porcelain vase, Xihe said: "I will never let your brother go, but the rest of the Gu family..."

Gu Qingyun immediately raised his head and stared at her closely.

Xihe spoke slowly: "As long as you swear allegiance to me, I will naturally consider letting them go."

Gu Qingyun just opened his mouth: "Me."

Xihe: "There's no rush, you just need to tell me the news on the eve of the expedition." He turned to Sun Li and said, "Send Young Master Gu back home."

Sun Li immediately stepped forward: "Master Gu Qi, please."

After a month, Gu Qingchen finally returned to the Gu Mansion. Mrs. Gu was overjoyed and asked him repeatedly why he had been in the Royal Guards and never returned home. Was it because the princess had forced him? She couldn't help wiping away tears as she spoke.

Gu Qingchen was in a state of confusion and could only excuse himself by giving random excuses.

The old prince noticed something was wrong and took him to the study for questioning.

Gu Qingchen simply said directly: "Grandpa, do you know what eldest brother did?"

The old man frowned: "What's the matter?"

Gu Qingchen then told what his brother had done after going to the border. In an instant, the entire study became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The faces of the men in the Gu family changed. Then they thought of something and softened their expressions.

When Gu Qingchen saw this, he couldn't help it anymore: "Brother, what on earth does he want to do!"

The young man who grew up with the concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism never thought that his elder brother would do such a thing regardless of the safety of his family. His parents are still in the capital, and his grandfather is also there, so isn't he worried? Even though he hates Fang Jinrong, he hates that person who only

He knew His Majesty was protecting his daughter, but he never thought that their family would rebel!

Mr. Gu took a deep breath: "This matter needs to be investigated. Qi Lang, please go out first."

Waiting for the people to go out, the old Duke sighed and couldn't help but shake his head: "I didn't expect Ye'er to reach this point after all."

He has always paid attention to this child in his family who is very good in both culture and martial arts. He knows that he has great ambitions and will never be willing to be inferior to others. But he really didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Fortunately, he had been prepared for this.

one day.

The old Duke looked at the third son and said, "Send a letter to your second brother and say this..."

Xihe had someone keeping an eye on the Gu family's movements, so they knew it clearly. All the homing pigeons were knocked down and sent to her.

The women and men in the backyard all supported Gu Ye's rebellion.

Xihe was not polite and handed the letter to the emperor without any hesitation.

The emperor couldn't believe it. After reading it, he became even more furious and shouted: "They are so ambitious!"

Xihe was very calm: "Father, the deal is now done. Gu Ye has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. I believe it won't be long before he sends troops to the capital. We must prepare early."

The emperor was reminded and immediately calmed down: "Yes, go and invite General Yuan!"

Xihe shook his head: "I'm afraid General Yuan can't."

The emperor's eyes widened: "Why?"

Xihe suddenly smiled bitterly. How could she tell the emperor that General Yuan, as Yuan Fu's grandfather, would definitely side with Gu Ye?

Yuan Fu is a blessed heavenly official from heaven. He is a close friend of Shang Concubine Fairy. He came down to earth to protect her. Once Gu Ye attacks Dazhao, if nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Fu will definitely stand by Gu Ye for the sake of Shang Concubine Fairy.

That side.

Ignoring the discomfort in his heart, Xihe looked at the emperor: "Father, I want to go south."

The emperor had a flash of inspiration: "You are going to find..."

Xihe nodded: "Although the emperor's uncle was angry and went to the barbarians to establish the Southern Kingdom because of the incident of seizing the direct descendants, Jokhang is his homeland no matter what. I believe that he will definitely agree to send troops."

Thinking of the twin brothers who were forced to leave their homeland, the emperor was speechless for a moment.

The royal family regards twins as 'dragon and phoenix' as auspicious, and the two princesses are also a good story. Only the two princes can only live and die. As the elder brother, the emperor naturally became the prince, but his younger brother was not so lucky.

Although the queen at the time couldn't bear it and saved his life, she could only keep him in a dark room.

The emperor was ignorant when he was young, but he stopped working when he got older! Why is it that everyone is a prince, and his brother can be the emperor, but he is so shameless? In anger, he broke off all ties with his mother and brother, ran to the south alone, and went through all kinds of hardships.

Suffering established the Southern Kingdom.

The emperor felt uncomfortable: "Will he agree?"

After they hurt him so much, and for decades, even though he sent gifts every year during the holidays, he never received a single gift in return. It was obvious that he still resented Da Zhao.

Xihe: "He will agree."

Because in the previous life, when Gu Ye's army pressed the country, Uncle Li came back with his troops. Unfortunately, Gu Ye was too powerful, and Dazhao and the entire Southern Kingdom became a part of Gu Ye's conquest of the world.

The scene was so tragic that Xihe didn't want to take things slowly with Gu Ye, he just wanted to crush him to death.

The emperor was a little distracted: "Then it will be as you say."

-

Time was of the essence, so Xihe arranged for the Royal Guards to guard the capital, not letting a mosquito fly out or a fly flying in. He immediately grabbed Gu Qingchen and Song Chenyin and set off directly.
