Yun Zishu looked at Hu Huo who was nestled in her arms obediently, and said in a voice as cold as snow: "A few days ago at the General's Palace, the fifth princess suddenly appeared. Was it the instruction of Concubine Gua?"
The smile on Concubine Gua's face faded slightly and she looked at Yun Zishu without saying a word: "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward."
"Now that the matter has reached this point, I don't feel the need to talk in circles with you. It would be better for everyone to be more straightforward."
Concubine Gua was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "That's right. The fifth princess was locked up in the palace by the emperor and was so bored that I casually mentioned it to Concubine Shu and asked her to go outside to relax."
The palace maid served tea, but Yun Zishu didn't even look at it, just stared at Concubine Gua: "The two jade Ruyi that the emperor suddenly rewarded were also your intention?"
Concubine Gua raised her hand and turned away from the maid: "Those two jade Ruyi were taken from my palace. Do you like it, Princess?"
"Yu Ruyi is good, but it is still unknown whether the things have been tampered with or not." Yun Zishu said, "The prince did not dare to take risks and ordered people to send the things to the warehouse."
Concubine Gua twitched her lips and smiled sarcastically: "The prince is indeed cautious."
"What is your purpose?"
Concubine Gua smiled: "The Crown Princess is so smart and sharp, you might as well guess it yourself first."
A cold look appeared in Yun Zishu's eyes: "Before guessing your purpose, Concubine Gua, why don't you tell me first, if I don't come today, have you prepared any other tricks to deal with me in the future?"
Concubine Gua gently caressed her beloved pet in her arms. After a brief silence, she nodded slowly, "I told Situ Wan that you are pregnant."
"What else?"
Concubine Gua said: "As soon as something happened to the prince, in addition to the Xuanjun Prince's Palace, which had been demoted, Prince Cheng's Palace and Prince Rong's Palace waited for another opportunity. I also asked people to reveal the assassination of the prince to them, and made them think that
The prince is already dying."
In this way, the two princes will once again become ambitious and try to compete for that position. They may also take this opportunity to give the prince a fatal blow and make him completely disappear from Dongyou.
Then the court will be in chaos again.
Concubine Gua thought quietly, these idiots with ambitions but no ability were so easy to use, and she didn't need to worry about it at all.
Yun Zishu's voice was cold: "If my guess is correct, you must have instigated Sicang's assassination."
The air became quiet.
This time Concubine Gua remained silent for a little longer, and there seemed to be an oppressive and cold atmosphere slowly surging in the palace, bringing an unpleasant feeling.
"So what?" Concubine Gua raised her eyes coldly, "Shouldn't he die?"
Yun Zishu was slightly surprised: "What did you say?"
Concubine Gua realized that she had lost her composure, took a breath, and adjusted her emotions: "Since the prince wants you to be alone, he must give you a chance to be alone. In this assassination, he can go behind the scenes. As long as you can
Withstand the pressure and handle the external matters well——"
"Concubine Gua." Yun Zishu suddenly interrupted her, "Do you still want to do something to the child in my belly?"
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became stagnant.
Concubine Gua's expression became extremely cold. When she looked at Yun Zishu, there was clearly a deep and complex look in her eyes that was incomprehensible.
She guessed correctly.
Yun Zishu was extremely angry but calmed down: "Why?"
How could a child who had not yet been born provoke her? That she would not hesitate to kill him?
"If I don't admit it, you don't have any evidence to verify what you just said." Concubine Gua leaned on the soft couch, her voice became lazy, even a little tired, "But now that I have said it, I have nothing to hide.
Yes, I really don’t want you to keep this child.”
Yun Zishu frowned slightly and smiled coldly: "You don't want me to keep this child? When will it be your turn to make the decision about my and Sicang's child?"
"You should not be pregnant or give birth to a child now!" Concubine Gua suddenly became excited. "Have you forgotten your goal? Forgot your identity and responsibilities? Why should the noble Princess Dayong do this for a man?
Give birth to a child? This child will bear the surname of the Dongyou royal family when he is born. Is this fair to him? "
"Meow!" The white cat in her arms whined and struggled in her arms, either because of her anger or because of the sudden pain, "Meow!"
Concubine Gua let go, and the cat ran out of her arms like it was running for its life, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Yun Zishu, love and love are so important to you? How much price did you pay for that heartless thing in your previous life! Why are you still so obsessed with it now?" Concubine Gua's expression seemed a little crazy, and her voice was louder than before.
One sentence, "Power is the most important thing! When you become the Empress of Dayong, when you dominate the world in the future, how many men do you want but can't do it? The world is so big, there are so many outstanding men waiting for you to choose, you have to
Hang yourself from this tree?!"
It was so quiet outside the hall that you could hear a pin drop.
The palace people knelt on the ground in shock and uneasiness, their faces turned pale, and they almost wanted to cover their ears. What Concubine Gua said today was simply treason. If the emperor heard it...if the emperor heard it...
Quiet.
Long silence.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
Concubine Gua's heart was heaving. Even though she tried her best to calm down, her out-of-control emotions today were completely explosive, almost venting the dissatisfaction and hatred she had suppressed for many years.
Yes, hate.
Hatred for the Dongyou royal family and hatred for Prince Sicang.
"...I haven't been so out of control for a long time." Concubine Gua slowly lay back on the couch, looking tired and pale, "It's been so long, so long that I have forgotten the last time I lost control of my emotions."
She closed her eyes, covering up all the emotions in her eyes, covering up all the paranoia and excitement in her eyes.
Yun Zishu looked at her silently, her face calm and calm, so calm that no one could see her mood swings, but her heart was already in turmoil.
Concubine Gua rarely lost control of her emotions, but it was this loss of control that revealed too much information. Yun Zishu didn't say a word, but was hesitating in her mind whether she should continue to ask questions.
Who is Concubine Gua? What is the connection between her and her?
Why is her obsession so deep?
Past life, past life... Why does it have to involve the past life? Is there really a need to investigate things that have happened hundreds of years ago?
"I don't have long to live." Concubine Gua's voice returned to calmness, "If you want Sicang and the child in your belly to live longer, there is only one way - let the child take your surname."
There is only one way to let the child take the mother's surname, and that is for her to be the master of her own family and become the most noble person in the world.
