famous eldest daughter

Chapter 371
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. The anger in his heart because of Fu Chunsheng's performance dissipated a little, and he said to Xiao Yi, "Have you already figured out a way to govern?"

This third son has always been meticulous in his thinking. Although his mother was born into a poor family and he had no family influence to rely on, in recent years, he has managed to gain a reputation in the court on his own and is really good at doing things. Act vigorously and resolutely, and have some means.

Xiao Yi nodded with a solemn expression, and was about to answer when Fu Chunsheng, who had been looking like a dead person beside him, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Gu Yuqing, the eldest daughter of Marquis Chi Nan, has been kidnapped."

His breath was not evenly mixed, and he was still trembling with panic, but such a sentence was already a thunder in itself.

Hearing this, the emperor was so startled that he stood up from the chair, supported the table with his hands, leaned forward slightly, and stared straight at Fu Chunsheng, "What did you say?" His nose was flaccid, and his breath was heavy.

Xiao Yi, who was standing beside Fu Chunsheng, glanced at Xiao Duo calmly, then looked towards Fu Chunsheng with a look of horror on his face.

Xiao Duo's heart was like a drum, beating wildly, his drooping hands clenched tightly into fists, the tip of his eyebrows trembled again and again, and he narrowed his eyes to look at Fu Chunsheng.

Facing the emperor's angry gaze, Fu Chunsheng was already frightened, but now he was even more worried. He gasped and said: "Tonight... tonight, while I was sleeping peacefully, His Highness the Fourth Prince suddenly broke into my chamber. room……"

"Get to the point!" The emperor interrupted him through gritted teeth, "Gu Yuqing was kidnapped, what's going on!"

He didn't mention such an important thing. He was sleeping when he mentioned it. Who cares if you were sleeping or not? The emperor just wanted to slap him.

Fu Chunsheng suddenly became excited, his tongue trembled, he swallowed the verbosity behind it, pursed his chapped lips, and said: "Miss Gu was kidnapped from Fengtai's ancestral home. As for who did it, we still don't know. When I and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince arrived with the Jingwei Battalion, the ancestral residence of Marquis Chinan had been detonated by gunpowder and the flames shot into the sky."

"Gunpowder, how can there be gunpowder?" The emperor became more and more frightened as he listened.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Duo also looked tense. Xiao Duo was the mastermind of the whole thing, but Xiao Duo was as horrified as anyone else at this moment.

"There was an invasion. Miss Gu, in order to protect herself, triggered the gunpowder trap in the courtyard. The trap was set up by the old Marquis Chinan." After explaining the gunpowder issue, Fu Chunsheng took a breath and continued his previous topic, "The Fourth Prince The horse under the crotch is a powerful lightning horse gifted by His Majesty. It cannot be compared with my ordinary horses. Therefore, although they set off from the capital at the same time, His Highness the Fourth Prince arrived before me. By the time I arrived, His Highness was already gone. "

The emperor's eyelids fluttered and he almost roared: "What do you mean you are no longer here!"

"I heard from Ming Lu that Miss Gu was kidnapped and some clues were left behind, so the Fourth Highness followed her." Fu Chunsheng explained immediately.

Hearing the words, the emperor immediately took a deep breath, and then realized that he was so frightened by his words that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor breathed out, but Xiao Duo's breath was stuck in his throat.

A group of idiots, kidnapping an individual could actually leave clues and traces for her. Thinking of Gu Yuqing's intelligence, Xiao Duo became increasingly uneasy.

"When I arrive in front, Lord Guhou, the Marquis of Chinan, will arrive in hindsight..."

"Didn't the Marquis go to Qibei?" Xiao Duo suddenly heard this and was shocked. He blurted out in shock and blocked Fu Chunsheng's words.

Although Xiao Yi was also surprised, in the end this matter had nothing to do with him. He was just a little nervous, unlike Xiao Duo who made it so obvious.

As soon as Xiao Duo's words came out, the emperor and Xiao Yi immediately looked at him.

"Second Emperor Brother, the Marquis of Chinan doesn't just live in Qibei when he goes to Qibei." Xiao Yi's words were ambiguous. It didn't matter to the emperor, but to Xiao Duo's ears, there was another meaning. .

From Xiao Duo's point of view, if Xiao Yi can say that, he already knew that Marquis Chinan had returned.

What Xiao Yi knew, he didn't know.

Under the shock, Xiao Duo became more and more suspicious.

With his mother and concubine trapped, he and his uncle's family united with the forces in the DPRK and China to constantly put pressure on his father, who had to take care of the harem and let his mother and concubine out because of the previous dynasty.

But the mother-concubine's release order has not yet been issued, and the father-emperor has released the queen who has been under house arrest by him.

Although the power to govern the Sixth Palace is still in the hands of Concubine Hui, once the empress lifts the ban, it will only be a matter of time before she takes back this power.

At this point, Xiao Duo realized that he had been tricked by Xiao Yi.

The father always valued the balance between the harem and the front dynasty, and the queen's mother's family was very powerful. Their desperate efforts to force the father to release Concubine Shu just made the father think that the power of the He family had surpassed the queen's mother's family in recent years. , almost controlling the entire court situation.

How could the father be indifferent to such a situation.

The queen was released from the ban and frequently called Xiao Yi into the palace to talk and ask for help... Thinking of these, cold sweat broke out on Xiao Duo's forehead one after another.

If Xiao Yi knew that Gu Zhen had returned to Beijing, the queen must have told him.

Xiao Yi, who came from a humble background, had completely gained the Queen's support by virtue of his rescue of the Queen this time.

The mind is like a gourd, press one end and the other end will float up.

In this plan to kidnap Gu Yuqing, he almost sent out all the secret guards he had trained.

The father intended to betroth Gu Yuqing to Xiao Yu, how could he just watch Xiao Yu take such a huge advantage.

Chi Nanhou's position in the court was unmatched by anyone.

What's more, no matter which new emperor ascends the throne, he must rely on this general who is good at conquering and fighting, including himself.

So... no matter what, he couldn't let Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing get together.

In this game, he took advantage of the greed in Lu Jiuzheng's heart and used Gu Yuqing to withhold the batch of gold that Lu Jiuzheng had originally used to make a clever layout in order to force Xiao Yu out.

It would be fine if Xiao Yu didn't go to rescue him, but if he went to rescue him, he would never come back.

In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, he even planned to come forward in person.

It was just that in the evening his uncle suddenly came to talk to him about something, which delayed the time. When his uncle left and he started again, it was already raining heavily, with hail and pillars, and he could not go out at all. .

Fortunately, he didn't go... Otherwise, the flash flood in Cuiping Mountain would have become his death torrent.

But Gu Zhen's unexpected appearance gave him, who was already confident about everything, an ominous premonition.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Xiao Duo had to take a deep breath and pretend to be calm as if nothing had happened, "I just said casually, why did the third brother ask like this? It seems like I have some bad intentions."

The emperor's eyes flickered across the faces of Xiao Yi and Xiao Duo, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The two sons were shaking all day long. He didn't know that this was inevitable in the royal family... He took a breath, ignored Xiao Duo, and turned to look at Fu Chunsheng, "Gu Zhenren Woolen cloth?"
