"Princess, how did this happen? Did Zhu Sha really fall out with the prince?"
Gu Meiren has always had a cheerful personality, and it is rare to see her look so sad.
Qin Rushuang did not answer her question, but asked her another question.
"Have you thought about what I asked you before? If you can escape from Prince Huai's Mansion one day, will you be willing to regard Zhu Sha as your beloved?"
"You don't need to feel any pressure in your heart. Zhu Sha and Wang Ye are just acting. Someone is instigating this matter."
"We promised you a clean identity before, and we also want to take this opportunity to give you a chance to be reborn. As for the matter between you and Zhu Sha, it all depends on your own wishes, and you don't have to consider us."
Gu Meiren pursed her lips and asked, "Princess, is Zhu Sha under a lot of pressure in front of Your Majesty because of my affairs?"
Qin Rushuang did not hide anything, nodded and said, "It is indeed the case. No matter what the purpose of the person behind the provocation was, and no matter how Zhu Sha and the prince decided to deal with it in the end, at least he left a good impression in front of His Majesty.
It will be really difficult to reverse this impression in the future, but he is still willing to bear this infamy for you."
Gu Meiren took a deep breath and said: "I understand his feelings. Please tell him, Princess, for me. If he really doesn't despise my background, and there will be a long road ahead, I will naturally be willing to accompany him for the rest of his life."
Qin Rushuang smiled and said, "You can open your mind as much as you want. In fact, I can see that you are interested in him. I just had too many concerns before. I am not surprised that you made such a choice, but there is one thing I want to agree with."
You discuss it."
"This time I want you to escape from Prince Huai's Mansion, you must put on a good show, and I told the prince and Zhu Sha that day that you may not choose him after you escape. You have your own life and
future."
"Zhu Sha is stubborn. The prince is afraid that he will not perform well in the last play, so he wants to discuss it with you. When the time comes, we will first tell General Zhu Sha that you are willing to escape from Prince Huai's Mansion, but you have no intention of him.
mean."
"Let him take a little bit of a beating so that he can act more like a play."
Qin Rushuang looked at Gu Meiren and said with a smile, "I want to tell you in advance, because I am afraid that you will feel heartbroken when you see him looking frustrated in the future."
Gu Meiren made a decision in her heart, she felt more free and easy, and now there was a smile on her face.
"He's rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Just let him be sad for a while. Besides, it's so easy for him to embrace a beautiful woman. How can there be such a good thing?"
"Okay, then I understand. Don't come to Rouge Shop these days. Stay at the palace with peace of mind. After His Majesty makes his decision, I will tell you what to do next."
Gu Meiren nodded and couldn't help but hold Qin Rushuang's hand.
"Although you and the prince have not told me what you are going to do specifically, I know that this matter must be dangerous. The prince and the princess must be careful!"
"I know," Qin Rushuang smiled, her face full of emotion.
"When I took the three of you as concubines and took the initiative to marry you into my house, I didn't consider your situation. I just wanted to take revenge on Xie Xun and Qin Fanghao. But after so long, it's rare for me to have you.
This close friend still has to say something solemn to you..."
"It was my fault that I let you get involved in Prince Huai's Mansion for no reason. I hope you will live happily in the future."
Until then, when Gu Meiren heard Qin Rushuang's words, she finally no longer cared about everything in the past.
"My life is humble, and my life is like a duckweed, floating and sinking. When I first entered Prince Huai's Mansion, I also thought about whether my fate would be more troubled because of coming to Prince Huai's Mansion, but now I feel
I don’t regret it because I met you.”
"I don't want to say any more. As a friend of the princess, I will shamelessly call you sister. Our sisterly relationship means that as long as I, Gu, am alive, I will be a sister to the princess for life."
…
After talking to Gu Meiren, Qin Rushuang told Xie Xun Gu Meiren's feelings.
She told Xie Xun again, asking him not to tell Zhu Sha first, lest Zhu Sha's acting would show flaws, and Xie Xun naturally agreed.
In the fourth prince Xie Yang's mansion.
"Grandpa! This time is really satisfying! Did you see the ugly look on His Majesty's face when he heard the argument between Zhu Sha and Xie Xun in the palace today?"
"And that Zhu Sha, he actually had a falling out with his general because of a woman! It's so mindless, I can get an extra bowl of rice just by watching them quarrel!"
Xiao Shan silently looked at his grandson who was talking happily. Although he felt a little disdainful of his villainous appearance, he also felt happy in his heart.
They were tricked by King Huai before and lost control of the Imperial City Army. Now it seems that they have lost control of an Imperial City Army, but Xie Xun is about to lose one of his fierce generals!
Calculating it this way, they are not at a loss!
However, Xiao Shan still suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Xie Yang, "Where are you? Tomorrow you can find a few more officials to impeach Zhu Sha and Prince Huai's house more. You must force His Majesty to make an early decision.
, such a thing that undermines the majesty of the royal family cannot be delayed any longer!"
If Emperor Qi makes a decision as soon as possible, then Zhu Sha and Xie Xun will fall out earlier, which is beneficial but not harmful to them.
Until now, Xiao Shan suddenly felt a little grateful to the person behind him.
Although I don't know what purpose he had in coming up with this idea for them, and I don't know if he will stab him in the back in the end, at least this matter really gave him and Xie Yang a taste of the sweetness.
After hearing Xiao Shan's instructions, Xie Yang nodded quickly and said, "I know grandpa, tomorrow I will order the few officials under me to impeach more. Anyway, it is just a woman. Sacrificing this woman can make their brothers
It’s really worth it to turn against each other.”
…
Recently, Emperor Qi's illness has become more and more serious.
He was already in poor health, and when he heard that his son was separated from his lieutenant because of a woman, he naturally became more and more dissatisfied with Gu Meiren.
It was the same today. Two more officials were talking about impeaching Zhu Sha and Xie Xun respectively. The more Emperor Qi heard about it, the uglier his face became.
One of the officials said: "Your Majesty, beauty is ruining the country. That Gu Meiren was originally a dancer. I think she is as seductive as a witch. Such a woman, whether she stays with King Huai as a concubine or Lord Zhu,
Over there... we can’t even keep it!”
When Emperor Qi heard this, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He said to the two officials, "I have made a decision in my mind about this matter. You can go down."
After he retreated Yan Guanping, he called Qian Ertong, who had been transferred back to him from the Hanlin Academy, and said, "I know that you have some friendship with Princess Huai, and that Gu Meiren is a sister to Princess Huai, but
I don’t trust anyone I send to this matter, so I have to send you.”
Qian Ertong's hand, which had been clenched tightly in his sleeve, finally relaxed after hearing Emperor Qi's words.
He knew that Emperor Qi was determined to execute Gu Meiren, who had brought disaster to the country and the people.
However, there are too many changes in executing a person. If Emperor Qi assigned this task to others, there would be too little room for them to operate.
At this time, Emperor Qi gave him the errands, and he finally felt relieved.
Qian Ertong cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely do what your Majesty has ordered."
Emperor Qi's face became even more tired, and he said, "She is a woman after all, Bai Ling and Poison Wine... You can bring both of them over and let her choose one, so that she can die with dignity."
Qian Ertong thought for a while, if this happened too suddenly, it would be difficult for Prince Huai's Mansion to plan.
So he said to Emperor Qi: "Do we need to inform the prince about this matter in advance? I think the prince is lukewarm towards that beauty Gu. I am afraid that the princess will miss the sisterhood and get into trouble with the prince again, so it is better to slow down first.
In two or three days, let the prince go and convince the princess first, so as not to cause an ugly incident."
Emperor Qi thought for a while and said: "My dear, you are so thoughtful! Just follow your instructions and I will leave this matter entirely to you!"
