The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 227: He laughed at himself. What was he expecting?

The two brothers of the Gu family had a near-death experience. During this trip to Dai Viet, they encountered six assassination attempts and finally returned to Wei alive.

The price was that Gu Chengze's arm was seriously injured and he was stabbed in the waist. Gu Chengfeng's leg was also broken when he fell off a cliff during the last round of killer siege.

Among the guards brought with them, except for Fei Ang's three who were seriously injured, all the others died. This trip was a heavy loss.

"Mother, oooo, my legs hurt so much!"

When Gu Chengfeng was carried into the palace by the guards, he saw Concubine Chen crying miserably with tears and snot running down her face. Ruan Mian felt so distressed that she burst into tears.

"Feng'er, don't cry. Mother will definitely heal your leg."

"What the hell is going on? How do you take care of your brother!?"

Ruan Mian immediately stepped forward to wipe the tears of her precious son, while glaring at Gu Chengze. She secretly hated those who attacked her precious son, and also regretted her decision. Why did she leak the news? Otherwise, Feng'er would not have been hurt.

Gu Chengze lowered his head, and the grievance in his heart was forced back by him. He smiled at himself. What was he expecting?

"Mother, don't blame my second brother. If it weren't for my second brother taking care of me along the way, I would have missed seeing you a long time ago, wuwu!"

"Mother, my second brother was also injured. It's all because of me. Next time I will never sneak out again. It's all my fault, not my second brother's!"

Seeing his mother's gloomy face, Gu Chengfeng quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his mother was particularly strict with his second brother, even to the point of being harsh.

"Since your brother pleaded for you, let's forget about it this time. Go back and remember to see the imperial physician."

Ruan Mian looked at Gu Chengze who was still kneeling on the ground and suppressed the anger in her heart. She also knew that she had to give this boy some face in front of her precious son. She was counting on him to help her son clear obstacles in the future.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, mother. I will take my leave now!"

Gu Chengze endured the piercing pain and saluted with difficulty. When he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he turned around inadvertently and saw his mother wiping Gu Chengfeng's tears with a distressed look on her face. She gritted her teeth, turned around and strode away.

After walking out of the palace, Gu Chengze raised his head. The sunlight was still as dazzling as before, but his eyes felt a little sore. He couldn't remember how many times he had been looking forward to it.

"Ah! Let me out! I want to find my child!"

"My child! Mom is here, don't be afraid! Ah!!!!"

A shrill female voice suddenly reached Gu Chengze's ears, and he suddenly woke up. He realized that he had unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the cold palace, where the Queen of Wei was imprisoned.

It's strange. Everyone says that the queen is crazy. If his father was so cold-hearted, he should have gotten rid of such a crazy queen without anyone knowing. How come she was taken care of so carefully for so many years and was not even deposed?
You know, it is very normal for someone to die in the harem. What's more, the queen's mother's family had long been gone. It was said that they all died in a fire. This caused the pregnant queen to have a difficult delivery and give birth to a stillborn baby after hearing the news. From then on, she became crazy and abnormal, and was finally locked up in the cold palace.

"Second Prince, His Majesty does not allow anyone to approach the cold palace!"

Gu Chengze wanted to see what was going on, but he was stopped by the guards guarding the cold palace gate before he took a few steps. "What's going on in there? Is Queen Mother like this every day?"

Because their father has not yet deposed the queen, these princes still have to respectfully call the queen "mother".

"Your Highness, please go back. I don't know what's going on!" The guard said and saluted Gu Chengze again.

Gu Chengze knew that his father must have issued a gag order, so he could not find out anything. He nodded and left the cold palace.

You know, people are curious. The more they don't want others to know about something, the more curious they will be. Gu Chengze pressed the wound on his waist and decided to wait until his wound healed before taking a look at what was going on in this cold palace.

Every adult prince of the Wei State had his own residence outside the palace, so as long as the prince was over the age of sixteen, he was not allowed to stay in the palace, unless there were special circumstances and he had to report to the emperor in advance before he could stay overnight in the palace.

In addition to him and Gu Chengfeng, his father had three other sons, namely the eldest prince Gu Qi born to the late Concubine Xian, the third prince Gu Lei born to Concubine Qing, and the fifth prince Gu Xun born to Concubine Wen, all of whom lived outside the palace.

I don’t know if these six assassinations were all carried out by these three brothers, but it is very likely that they are related to these three people. We still have to investigate it thoroughly!
The fact that the two princes were killed in Dai Viet was eventually known to Emperor Gu Xiuhan. When he was happy that he had finally found an excuse to start a war, all his fantasies were shattered by a secret letter.

The Dai Viet Kingdom actually developed explosives and found the gold mines buried by the former royal family in the Daqing Mountains.

"Wow!"

Gu Xiuhan transformed into a desktop cleaning master and overturned the table.

"Tell our people to keep investigating. I want to know who developed this explosive!" Gu Xiuhan waved his hand, and the man in black standing beside him immediately disappeared.

He couldn't help but feel a headache. He had thought that he could soon use explosives to flatten Dai Viet and expand the territory, and let the old ministers of Wei know that he was able to sit on the throne by relying on his own ability, and not by killing the king in an unjustifiable way. Now all his plans were overturned.

Gu Xiuhan couldn't help but get angry and pulled out the whip he was carrying and quickly walked towards the cold palace. The chief eunuch Fang Hewen who followed behind him was worried about the queen in the cold palace.

In the cold palace, a quiet and elegant woman dressed in white was sitting in front of a bronze mirror and combing her hair with a wooden comb. The door of the cold palace was kicked open from the outside, but the woman still sat motionless in front of the bronze mirror, with no intention of looking back.

Until someone grabbed her neck, lifted her up and threw her on the bed.

"Ah!"

The woman in white sneered.

After just a moment of distraction, the woman was greeted with a whip. She didn't make a sound until her body was covered in blood. There was still contempt in her eyes, as if she was mocking Gu Xiuhan for being so capable.

The two looked at each other, one was cold and distant with contempt, the other was glaring with a hint of imperceptible affection, and in the end it was the latter who fled.

"When will the day dawn?" The woman in white got up with difficulty and sighed, then sat down in front of the bronze mirror to comb her hair.
