Chapter 240 I'm so sick of Gu Yu and Concubine Zhao
Queen Xu was puzzled.
Queen Xu asked: "How many people did that bear hurt?"
Sixue said: "Six lords died on the spot, and seven or eight others were seriously injured, including King Xiaoyao."
Queen Xu frowned and said, "I seemed to have heard Gu Yu's voice in my panic."
Si Xue said: "I don't know the details, but according to the information I got from the Shenying Guards, the bear was killed by Captain Shao in the end, and Prince Gu should only be involved."
Empress Xu didn't know what she meant, and said: "It's him again."
Whenever the Holy Emperor encountered danger, it was Captain Shao who came to the rescue. No one in the civil and military dynasties could surpass Captain Shao's majesty.
She has always wanted to win over Shao Taiwei, but Shao Taiwei was very loyal to the Holy Emperor and had no children, which made it difficult for people to handle him.
Empress Xu touched her belly and said, "If this person cannot be used by me, I will have to get rid of him in the future."
It's easy to say that, but both Empress Xu and Sixue know that it is difficult to win over him, and it is even more difficult to get rid of him.
He has great martial arts skills and a respected status, so it is impossible for him to resort to assassination methods.
There is only one person in the world who can kill Taiwei Shao - Your Majesty.
However, Taiwei Shao and his Majesty grew up together, and His Majesty's favor for him grew day by day.
Originally there was King Xiaoyao and Captain Shao to compete, but as the fifth prince grew older, the Holy Emperor began to be wary of people from the fifth prince's faction.
And the carefree Captain Shao was naturally unparalleled in the Emperor's heart.
Si Xue said: "Mother, the eldest son of the Di family has recognized Taiwei Shao as his adoptive father. We have revealed to him the news about Crown Prince Gu and King Xiaoyao before. Can we win him over through him?"
Queen Xu said: "No."
Di Luo used to be a member of the Five Princes faction, and he could recognize the ruthless Captain Shao as his adoptive father, which shows that he is not a simple person.
If he wanted to take refuge with him, he would have shown favor when the Xu family revealed the whereabouts of Gu Yu and Junze to him, but he did not, and instead chose to recognize Taiwei Shao as his adoptive father.
Empress Xu said: "Lieutenant Shao will not stand on our side, but since he has recognized Di Luo as his adopted son, he will definitely not stand on the side of the fifth and sixth princes. To him, we can only respond by remaining unchanged."
Change."
Sixue said: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful."
Seeing that the anti-fetal medicine had almost cooled down, Sixue said, "Mother, please drink the medicine."
Seeing the dark bowl of anti-abortion medicine, which exuded a bitter taste, Empress Xu retched before she could take it in her mouth.
Queen Xu said irritably: "Take it away, I can't drink it."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach felt a twitching pain. She pressed her stomach hard and held on to her clothes with both hands.
Sixue forced a smile, and casually held up Queen Xu's hand to prevent her from doing something she regretted, and said: "Queen, did the little prince kick you again?"
Empress Xu glanced at Sixue, then relaxed her hand, and said angrily: "How is the situation with the Ninth Prince?"
Sixue said: "The Ninth Prince is worried about his wife. He asked the slave several times before going to bed if his little brother would disappear."
Empress Xu's brows showed irritation and said: "Don't mention this pregnancy in front of him in the future."
Sixue said with fear, "Yes, my dear."
No matter how unhappy Empress Xu was with this pregnancy, she knew that the Holy Emperor valued her very much, and she would rely on this pregnancy to gain favor.
Until now, the Holy Emperor still allowed Concubine Zhao to take charge of the palace in the name of allowing her to have a baby. She seemed to have unlimited glory, but in fact she was suppressed by Concubine Zhao in every aspect.
Just like last time, she could embarrass Gu Yu while Concubine Zhao was away, but when Concubine Zhao came, she still had to let her go.
How can it be happy?
Only by giving birth to this child safely can we stabilize our status. Then the Holy Father will no longer have an excuse to set her up and become an empty queen.
Queen Xu picked up the anti-fetal medicine and drank it in one breath.
Bitterness spread in her mouth, and she retched again. Si Xue quickly fed Empress Xu the salted plums in her hand to suppress her nausea.
Although the salted plums filled Empress Xu's mouth with the sweetness and sourness, she felt upset when she thought of her niece who made the salted plums.
Queen Xu asked: "How is Dairou?"
Si Xue said: "Miss Xu is very obedient. She has been staying in the side hall making clothes for the little prince. Miss Xu is very skillful with her hands. Even the top embroiderers in the palace cannot compare with her."
Xu Dairou was the niece chosen by Empress Xu from her own family. She entered the palace in the name of accompanying her to relieve her boredom during pregnancy, but in fact, Empress Xu planned to find a way to give her to Gu Yu as his wife.
But Gu Yu's actions were too fast. In less than half a month, the news of her engagement to Miss Ji Jiabiao spread throughout Kyoto.
Everyone said that although Miss Ji's cousin's family background was not prominent, her appearance was like that of a fairy. The two of them were a good match for each other.
Queen Xu said: "No matter how skillful your hands are, what's the use of them? If they are useless, they are useless."
Sixue agreed on her face, but in her heart she couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Xu Dairou.
The empress called Xu Dairou in the name of finding someone to relieve her boredom, and hinted to the Xu family that she wanted to promote a niece and give him a good marriage.
The Xu family picked Xu Dairou to come over.
But in fact, the empress wanted to sacrifice Xu Dairou and occupy the position of Gu Shizi's head wife. Furthermore, she wanted Xu Dairou to deliver the message for her.
Because the Empress was a daughter, she was left out in the Xu family, which favored sons over daughters. Her relationship with her natal brother was not good, so she naturally didn't feel bad for trying to take advantage of her brother's daughter.
But Xu Dairou has been kept in the dark so far, and she tries her best to make the Queen happy every day.
She also asked her about many of the Empress's preferences, and even she, a personal maid who had served the Empress for many years, felt inferior to her.
Sixue remembered that she had received many benefits from Xu Dairou, so she wanted to give her a hand and said, "Now that Miss Xu is no longer useful, can you let her go back?"
Empress Xu said: "Don't worry, her salted plums are better than those of the imperial chefs. They are very popular with me. Please keep them for a while."
The sound of "Liu Yiliu" made Sixue break out in a cold sweat. She said, "Mother, are you still going to carry out that plan? But Gu Shizi has already chosen his first wife."
When Queen Xu heard that "the first wife has been decided", she suddenly felt that her previous plan was too conservative.
She picked a plum and put it into her mouth, saying, "It would be more interesting if we got engaged."
Sixue's body stiffened. Ever since Empress Xu had a close relationship with the sinister Hua Gonggong, she had been doing things more and more crazily.
She didn't dare to speak because she knew that even if she did, nothing would change.
Queen Xu said: "Even if she can't enter the Gu family, she will still be able to disgust Gu Yu and Concubine Zhao."
Thinking of this, Queen Xu's gloomy mood improved a little. She put a salted plum in her mouth again and said, "These plums are good, let Dairou make some more."
