Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 257 Rescue
After hearing this, Gu Qingyou felt that a corner of his heart was being plucked. Assassinating the emperor would be a major crime against the nine clans. If Hengye's life experience was exposed, not only him, but also the Duke's Palace would be implicated.

Then why didn't the Queen Mother directly accuse her, but went out of her way to tell her the truth?

The expression on her face remained unchanged, but she was already making rapid calculations in her mind.

Therefore, the Queen Mother, an old fox, was afraid of their strength just like the late emperor, but at the same time she wanted the support of Hengye and the Duke of Guo. This matter was a sharp knife in her hand. Once one day, she discovered that Hengye and the Duke of Guo were The government is out of her control, so the truth will be exposed to the world, and Hengye will be plunged into a place of eternal destruction!

It seems that she still underestimated these women in the palace.

The Queen Mother thought she would see a panicked expression when she told Gu Qingyou this, but she saw that Gu Qingyou just nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since it is just your guess, there is no solid evidence. Maybe Is Hengye really just an ordinary orphan? The Duke of Guo has devoted his whole life to the country. Even if he has made some mistakes, it will not be beneficial to the country or the people if he is dead. "

The Queen Mother was almost amused by her words. Is this woman really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

Conspiracies such as assassinating the emperor must always be eradicated. If Song Hengye is really the son of the deputy general, and the Duke's palace is harboring the remnants of the rebels, to put it more seriously, the entire clan must be killed. However, when it came to her mouth, it turned out to be a light sentence. "slight fault"?
"Oh, you are very eloquent. Although this matter is just the inference of the Ai family, it is very close to the truth. You have to know that sometimes to convict a person, you do not necessarily have to rely on real evidence!"

Urgent, she was impatient.

Gu Qingyou just wanted to roll his eyes, was this a threat? Where were those cities just now?
If this matter is really revealed, it would be a lose-lose situation for both parties. The new emperor disposed of Hengye, and the King of Qin became the dominant family. In addition, the previous emperor's old account of plotting against the King of Qin, the royal family may have to keep their eyes open at night.

Looking at today, the Queen Mother did not dare to tell Song Hengye the truth directly. Instead, she brought her to the palace. She probably wanted to tell Hengye through her mouth, so that Hengye could stay in peace and be grateful to continue serving the royal family.

He thinks he is giving both kindness and power, haha.

Therefore, in the face of the Queen Mother's anger, Gu Qingyou calmed down. Hengye's military talents were not only superior to Song Lian's, but even better. Now that he showed his talents, he had already aroused the fear of the royal family, so the new emperor and the Queen Mother I dare not let him grow up like Song Lian for decades.

More importantly, this change of throne was almost single-handedly promoted by Hengye. While the Queen Mother and her son took advantage, they were also afraid that history would repeat itself one day, right?
Gu Qing let out a leisurely breath, it is really difficult to be a minister!
"Your Majesty, the emperor's accession to the throne is the return of the world. Our generals are just following the trend. The people of Li need wise kings and wise ministers. If you accuse General Song based on some unfounded things, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the public. mouth."

The Queen Mother suddenly looked displeased, and Gu Qingyou tried his best to sound sincere. After all, the person opposite him was a victor in a menopausal palace fight, and he was also the helmsman of this feudal dynasty. If he was not careful, her words would fall in the other person's ears. It's a provocation.

"The general and I got to know each other, not because of anyone's push, but because we understand each other, appreciate each other, and have enough trust in each other's character. He was cultivated by the father of the country since he was a child, and he only has a trace of the desire to protect his family and the country in his heart. There are common people everywhere, you and your Majesty can rest assured."

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup and blew on it without saying anything.

But Gu Qingyou knew that he was waiting for her to continue.

"To put it bluntly, if General Song really coveted the country, he would have taken action as early as when the late emperor abdicated. Why wait until now?"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but retort: ​​"Then if he really acts without permission, he is treasonous! His reputation is not justified and he deserves to be reviled forever!"

Gu Qingyou chuckled: "Queen Mother, history is always written by the victor. Just like the real reason why the late emperor abdicated, will you and the emperor be honest with the world?"

This rhetorical question left the Queen Mother speechless.

The monarch and his ministers are like two ends of a scale, and trust is the weight. Once they become suspicious of each other, the balance will be broken, and the consequences will be disastrous.

The Queen Mother did not understand what Gu Qingyou said, but she had learned from past mistakes and must be vigilant. Gu Qingyou can also understand that this is just a man-made affair, but Hengye and the Duke's Palace are no longer fish and meat on the chopping board, so when it comes to testing the Queen Mother, she can neither be too soft nor too hard, and properly express her attitude. , as for the outcome, she has no control over it.

The Queen Mother didn't expect to find reassurance from her. So what if she married Song Hengye? Could it be that the majestic Northwest General could still be influenced by a woman?

But as the queen mother, she was choked with words by a little woman, and her heart felt uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to type a few more words, he heard someone outside the palace say: "To the Queen Mother, Madam Jing'an Marquis wants to see you."

Gu Qingyou was quite surprised, why is she here?

The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Qingyou, changed her expression and said, "Let her in."

Madam Jingan Hou seemed not to notice the suffocating atmosphere in the palace. After saying hello with a smile, she seemed to have just seen Gu Qingyou and said to the Queen Mother: "Huh? Isn't this Miss Gu? Why is she also in the Empress' Palace?"

The Queen Mother couldn't bear to get angry in front of her, and said angrily: "She and Hengye are getting married soon. The Ai family wanted to add some dowry for her, so they specially summoned her to the palace to talk."

Mrs. Hou did not go into details, but smiled when she heard this and said, "My dear, you are partial. When my parents came in, I didn't see you specifically asking for a reward. It's obviously partial."

The Queen Mother smiled: "Did your Lan'er find too many treasures from the Ai family since she was a child? Are you here to take issue with this?"

Mrs. Hou refused: "How can that be the same? A son is a son and a daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law."

The Queen Mother smiled and scolded: "It's not mine anymore. I'll ask Aunt Zheng to get my dowry later, and you can choose a few items on Changle's behalf."

Mrs. Hou stood up with a smile and said, "Then my sister will thank her aunt on behalf of her daughter-in-law."

With Mrs. Hou teasing her, the Queen Mother didn't want to say anything more and dismissed Gu Qingyou casually.

After leaving the palace gate, the cold autumn wind blew by, and there was a chill on Gu Qingyou's back, and he was shocked to realize that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

After walking out of the gate of Changning Palace, Gu Qingyou looked back at the closed palace door and was speechless. This palace was really not a place for good people.

"long!"

Before he could finish his emotion, a familiar woman in palace clothes ran out from the corner. Gu Qingyou looked at the visitor in surprise: "Princess? Why are you here?"

Changle indicated the direction of Changning Palace with his eyes and lowered his voice: "Of course I am here for you, otherwise, why do you think my mother-in-law would enter the palace for no reason?"

Gu Qingyou was even more surprised: "How could she listen to you?"

You must know that Mrs. Jingan Hou made a lot of trouble to get Ye Lan and Changle to break off their engagement. How could she come to the rescue for Changle now?
