Chapter 461 Is there anyone suspicious of my sister?
"The Duke of Laozhen was in charge of more than 100,000 Gu family troops back then. She inherited her father's title, so how can she not have any troops in her hands!"
Wang Pei touched his chin and analyzed.
Wang Qi looked at Wang Pei in shock.
Call him stupid, but he sees things so clearly.
Call him not stupid, how could he think of using military power to please Mr. Gu?
But Wang Pei was immersed in his own world and said: "Find a way to get my father to get some military power for her. When Young Master Gu finds out, he will be extremely moved. Will he still be worried that she won't follow me?"
Wang Qi finally got close to this rich man, but he really didn't want to see Wang Pei beaten to death by Prime Minister Wang, so he said: "My Lord, you can't talk to the Prime Minister like this."
Wang Peidao: "Why not?"
Wang Qidao: "The Prime Minister is the head of civil servants, and suddenly he interferes with military power. What do you want your Majesty to think?"
Wang Peidao: "My Wang family is a century-old family. There was the Wang family before the Yu Dynasty. When the Holy Emperor first came to the throne, it was all dependent on my Wang family to maintain the stability of the court. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Wang Qi quickly reached out to cover Wang Pei's mouth. If these words reached the ears of anyone who cared, even Prime Minister Wang would not be able to protect Wang Pei.
Wang Qidao: "Master, I don't dare to say this casually!"
Wang Pei took his hand away and said disgustedly: "Did you just wash your hands after going to the toilet? It stinks."
But after all, he thought that this was in the palace, not in the Wang family, so Wang Pei stopped talking.
Wang Qi:...
No matter how smelly my hands are, they are not as smelly as your mouth.
Wang Qi continued to persuade him: "Captain Shao is not someone to be trifled with. His reputation as a God of Killer is not just talk."
Wang Pei smiled contemptuously and said: "A little slave born to a big slave has only had a few mouthfuls of his mother's milk because of the Holy Master. No matter how majestic his reputation as a god of murder is, he still has to pay respects obediently in front of my father. What are you afraid of him for?"
"
Wang Qi was completely at a loss for this ignorant master, and said: "Military power is not something that can be given with money."
Wang Pei rubbed his chin and said, "My Wang family also has a lot of private soldiers. If Young Master Gu is willing to follow me, it's not impossible for me to reward her with some of the Wang family's soldiers and horses."
Wang Qi was about to suffocate. All major aristocratic families would secretly raise private soldiers, but they would cover it up tightly, for fear that others would know who, like him, would take things so naturally.
Wang Qidao: "Sir, if you give out the silver reward, you can make more money, but if you give out the soldiers and horses, they will never come back. Don't take this as a joke."
Wang Pei was unhappy and said: "Who is taking this as a joke!"
Wang Qi wished he could just pack up and leave on the spot. If Prime Minister Wang knew that Wang Pei had planned to become a private soldier of the Wang family in order to compete with King Xiaoyao and please Young Master Gu, he might not be involved with Wang Pei when he was dealt with.
Cleaned up.
Wang Qi racked his brains and didn't know how to stop Wang Pei from committing suicide.
Wang Pei said to himself: "But, this kind of thing depends on chance. You can't just give it if you say it. I'm not the one who was taken advantage of."
He must learn from the officials who gave gifts to his father.
His father said that how to make the recipient of a gift happy is a profound knowledge.
The corner of Wang Qi's mouth twitched. He had to take advantage of Wang Pei to make a profit before he tried to kill himself.
----------------------------------------
When Gu Yu returned to Zhaixing Tower, the eighth princess had already drank the tranquilizing medicine and fell asleep under the gentle coaxing of the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine had just sent people to quietly look for Gu Yu, but everyone who responded said she hadn't found him.
Now seeing Gu Yu coming over, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief.
The eighth princess in her arms had already fallen asleep. The imperial concubine quickly came to Gu Yu and said, "How are you doing? Why don't you let Dr. Lin come and look at your injuries?"
Doctor Lin was a member of the imperial concubine, but he didn't know Gu Yu's true identity.
Gu Yu raised her sleeves and said, "Sister, I'm fine. I just applied medicine when no one was paying attention. You can smell it."
Smelling the faint smell of medicinal wine on Gu Yu's body, the imperial concubine felt relieved and asked, "Where did this medicinal wine come from?"
Gu Yu felt a little guilty and said, "Ask a medical apprentice at the Imperial Hospital for it."
The imperial concubine looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Just know that you feel sorry for yourself."
She thought Gu Yu would hide secretly and carry him out of the palace.
Gu Yu took a look inside and asked in a low voice: "How is the investigation going?"
The imperial concubine had a serious look on her face, shook her head and said, "It's said that the railings of the Zhaixing Building are in disrepair for a long time, and the Holy One is angry."
This peony feast was organized by the imperial concubine and the eldest princess together, but after the Xu family was deposed, the imperial concubine took care of all affairs in the harem. Now that such a big mistake has gone wrong, the imperial concubine cannot escape the blame.
She had just gone in to plead guilty to the Holy Emperor, but the Eighth Princess kept shouting for her mother-in-law.
The saint still looked sick to her face. In the past few years, she had regarded the sixth prince and the eighth princess as her own children, so it was hard to criticize her for a while.
I can only vent my anger on the palace guards on duty at the Zhaixing Tower. I will execute them to death and punish them severely.
Gu Yudao: "A life has been caused, but the truth has not yet been found. The person behind it is so thoughtful. Does Sister have any suspicion?"
At this time, there was another cry outside.
It was Mrs. Jiang. The deceased Miss Jiang was the granddaughter of her natal brother. She was the age when she should be cherished and pampered, but she died in Zhaixinglou.
She entered the palace late, but because of her slightly inferior appearance, she was not favored. She lived a very low-key and difficult life in the late emperor's dirty harem.
Misfortune brings blessing, good times will come after the death of the late Emperor.
The once arrogant concubines were all liquidated by the Holy One.
The Queen Mother was "invited" by her Majesty to go to Mount Wutai to worship the Buddha because she ordered her Majesty's Empress Xiaomin to have her son removed by Caesarean section.
Concubine Jiang's presence in the harem was too low, so she was invited by the Holy Emperor to show her filial piety.
After more than twenty years of peaceful life, Concubine Jiang was already in her sixties, but she encountered such a change.
When he was awakened from coma by the imperial doctor's acupuncture, he couldn't accept the fact for a while, so he cried and called Miss Jiang's nickname.
The imperial concubine saw the innocent-looking sixth prince in the crowd through the gauze curtain.
The imperial concubine's eyes were very cold and she said: "Neither the eldest princess nor I invited Miss Jiang. We just asked the palace attendants around Jiang Taifei. The palace officials said that before the peony banquet, the sixth prince begged Jiang Taifei to stuff Miss Jiang in.
It was said that it was to accompany Xiaoba. It was no accident that Xiaoba and Miss Jiang fell together. Fortunately, you caught Xiaoba, otherwise, who knows that Xiaoba would not have ended up like Miss Jiang."
The imperial concubine was frightened for a while when she said this.
Things are too dangerous today.
Gu Yu's breath was stagnant.
From the beginning to the end of the Peony Banquet, she kept an eye on the sixth prince, fearing that the sixth prince would know about the secret love affair between the fifth prince and Derong and attack the fifth prince.
Unexpectedly, his target was not the fifth prince at all, but the eighth princess.
The imperial concubine crumpled her veil and said, "It's my fault that I've been too fond of Xiao Ba during this period and neglected the sixth prince."
Gu Yu's face turned ugly and she said, "It's not my fault, Sister. The current Sixth Prince no longer needs to rely on us."
