After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 496 Solving People

Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly. "What kind of danger could there be in the palace? There are so many guards inside, and Li Shi has been executed. Is there anyone who dares to attack Niuniu?"

A figure was about to appear in Gu Mingda’s mind.

Zhang Yunniang's face became paler as she spoke. It was obvious that her thoughts were the same as her husband's. "Your Majesty... It's impossible... He is the emperor... How could he have any bad intentions towards Niuniu? If he wanted to hurt Niuniu, he could just do it directly. Even our entire Gu family is just a thought away from him..."

Gu Mingda felt a chill down his spine: "What if he has other thoughts in mind?"

Even though Gu Mingda, who was always calm and rational, felt his heart beating faster and his mind in a panic when he heard someone speak ill of the monarch.

"What could he be thinking? At most, he wants to keep Niu Niu in the palace..." Zhang Yunniang said.

Gu Mingda’s face turned pale.

He didn't know that he was gradually getting closer to the truth, but he didn't even want to say out loud the possibility in his heart, as if doing so would be a kind of harm to Niu Niu.

Zhang Yunniang was terrified and grabbed her husband's sleeve: "Husband, you can't, you can't let him do this!"

Gu Mingda nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I won't let him do whatever he wants even if I risk my life. Niuniu has an engagement, and the Queen Mother is always protecting her, so he dare not."

Speaking of the engagement, Gu Mingda recalled the period when the empress dowager repeatedly urged the Gu family to agree to the marriage. This made him more certain that the empress dowager must have known the emperor's thoughts a long time ago.

The only good news now is that the Queen Mother is still trying hard to protect Niu Niu so that she will not be isolated and helpless in the palace.

But even if the empress dowager was the emperor's biological mother, Gu Mingda was not sure that the empress dowager could completely stop the emperor.

An emperor who is about to enter his twilight years is far more dangerous than an emperor in his prime. The old lion cares more about his territory and power than ever before. The previous dynasty had several purges, and the old emperor was also maintaining his power. His suspicion is getting worse and worse.

Gu Mingda was terrified. No matter what, he must not let his daughter fall into a passive situation.

"Shuying, that girl might know something." Gu Mingda suddenly said.

Zhang Yunniang grabbed her husband's hand as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurried to the backyard.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw three children standing under a big tree.

"My second brother is so powerful. He is a martial arts expert and has killed countless enemies on the battlefield!" Niu Niu showed off proudly to Qin Jingshu.

Qin Jingshu's eyes were filled with envy: "It's a pity that my second brother is not so good, he only knows how to eat, drink, whore and gamble."

Niuniu patted her good friend on the shoulder: "Then you can follow me, and then you will have an especially powerful second brother!"

Qin Jingshu looked at Xie Xingchuan cautiously.

Although Xie Xingchuan doesn't like to talk, he always gives face to the little sister. He said coldly: "Whatever Niuniu says is what it is."

Qin Jingshu called out cautiously, "Second brother."

Xie Xingchuan agreed and said, "Since you are Niuniu's good friend, you can come to me if you have any problems in the future."

Qin Jingshu was so happy in her heart that she felt that every member of Niu Niu's family was much better than those in Duke Xianguo's Mansion.

She felt that apart from her eldest brother Qin Jing, there was no other good person in Duke Xian's Mansion.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang just took a look and left quickly.

Niuniu followed and said, "Mom, are you going to the backyard? To find Sister Shuying? I really want to introduce her to Jingshu!"

Niuniu turned to Qin Jingshu and said, "Sister Shuying's cooking is delicious. You will never forget it once you try it!"

Qin Jingshu's face was full of longing. She felt that the Gu family was like a treasure. Everything here was so good! Gu Mingda shook his head and said, "You guys play here first. Shuying is not convenient to meet people now."

When Niu Niu heard this, her face was filled with disappointment, but she was not the kind of person who would cling to others.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang hurried into the backyard. Shuying was facing a large vat, and no one knew what she was busy with.

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Zhang Yunniang's mind, and she remembered the crazy words that the crazy girl had said in the past.

The word "Empress Dowager" has now become a heavy stone weighing on Zhang Yuniang's heart.

"Shuying, why do you call Niuniu the Queen?" Zhang Yuniang asked.

Shuying turned around, glanced at the couple, and answered irrelevantly: "Why didn't the young lady come?"

Zhang Yunniang was filled with anxiety and asked again: "If Niuniu is the queen, then who is the emperor? Is the emperor good to the queen?"

Shuying suddenly frowned: "The emperor is a heartless man, a scumbag! He actually dared to doubt the queen. If he was good to the queen, would I still be crazy?"

Zhang Yunniang:......

She didn't know whether she should sigh or not. The crazy girl actually knew that she was crazy.

"Who is the emperor? What is his name?" Zhang Yuniang asked.

Although the crazy girl was crazy, many of the things she said matched one by one. For example, when she talked about the Queen Mother, Niu Niu also talked about the small Buddhist temple, which was exactly the same as what the crazy girl said.

"The emperor's name? I'm too lazy to remember that stinky man's name!" said the crazy girl unhappily.

When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she was extremely anxious. She almost wanted to grab the crazy girl and shake her hard to find out more.

But the crazy girl still went her own way and even ignored Zhang Yunniang. Instead, she turned around and muttered to the big vat.

"The Emperor is here to hurt the Empress again." Gu Mingda suddenly spoke.

The crazy girl suddenly turned around, and the light in her eyes seemed to hurt people.

"Where is he? I'm going to fight him!" the crazy girl shouted.

Zhang Yunniang suddenly saw that the crazy girl's eyes were red, and the whole body seemed to be possessed by the god of war. She picked up the wooden stick beside her and was about to rush out the door.

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Calm down! The emperor is not here!"

The crazy girl gradually regained her senses. She stared at the couple and asked, "What happened?"

Gu Mingda did not tell the truth directly, but said: "We noticed that the emperor seemed to be trying to do something bad to the queen."

"Then I can't let him be emperor anymore!" The crazy girl said calmly, words that made the Gu couple want to cover their ears on the spot.

Gu Mingda took a deep breath, pretending that he hadn't heard such outrageous words, and asked, "If we don't want him to hurt the Queen, what should we do?"

The crazy girl looked at him as if he were a fool: "Didn't I tell you that you can't let him be the emperor anymore!"

Gu Mingda: Okay, okay, if there is no way to solve the problem, then just solve the person who caused the problem. That’s really crazy.

"He is the Son of Heaven..." said Gu Mingda.

The crazy girl turned around and rushed into the room, then took out something wrapped in paper: "Where is he? I'm going to kill him right now!"
