Chapter 73 Midnight
So when Tianqin's iron cavalry broke through the gate of Qingxuan, turning Qingxuan into a part of Tianqin, and Emperor Tianqin took away Ajie and brought them to Tianqin, the entanglement in Gu Quyan's heart was like It's a mess of yarn balls, and I can't even find a clue.

He didn't understand why Emperor Tianqin wanted to marry Ajie as his queen, just like he didn't understand that Chu Lichen tried his best to marry Ajie at the beginning, but then he didn't cherish it and started accepting concubines.

Gu Yuyan is now 13 years old. He is still young and loved by his elders, so he rarely sees real troubles.

That's why he still doesn't understand that it's only when two people are in love with each other that they will finally get married. If only one party pays for it for a long time, it's not called affection, it's called self-confessed affection.

Self-confessed affectionate, superfluous and in the way.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and there were a few rare stars in the night sky.

Gu Ruzhen sat on the swing in the yard, her feet touched the ground unconsciously, and her body swayed slightly.

Everything is silent, and the cool night breeze brings a faint fragrance of plum, which makes people's whole heart quiet down.

However, just as she closed her eyes and leaned her shoulders against the side of the rope, she heard the sound of swords clashing outside.

"Witch Bamboo."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there's no way assassins will come here."

Not long after Wu Zhu's voice fell, the movement outside stopped.

"In addition to the imperial guards, His Majesty has also placed guards in the mansion for a long time. These people are loyal to His Majesty and His Majesty."

Hearing this, Gu Ruzhen moved her fingers slightly, unconsciously groping for the token in her sleeve.

Obviously everything is ready, but I still have to leave this token.

After a while, Wu Zhu and Ruotong heard a very clear and shallow smile.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the news that assassins had entered the General's Mansion was widely known in Shengjing.

If Gu Ruzhen hadn't ordered someone to tell Gu Xiuwen and Gu Quyan early in the morning, they might have rushed over.

Now the gate of the mansion is extremely lively, and the wives of the court officials have all come over.

But Gu Ruzhen just ordered someone to make some hot snacks in the dining room and deliver them to the door, and the maids sent the wives away without letting them in.

After grabbing hot refreshments, almost everyone left immediately.

The reason why I say almost is because there is still Mrs. Wu'anhou standing there who has not left for a long time.

Later, when she saw that the doors of the General's Mansion were all closed from the inside, she waited for another afternoon before walking away tiredly on her legs.

When he arrived at the mansion, he was very angry when he saw a group of concubines waiting at the door.

According to Lord Hou's wishes, Ding'er must be dethroned as son, so the position of son will only be selected from among the sons of concubines.

However, Lord Hou is still young, and it is not known who will inherit the throne if he is destined to marry and have children.

Mrs. Zhou pondered for more than an hour in the room, and ordered the maid to bring the booklet of unmarried noble girls in Beijing, but she was not satisfied after choosing for a long time.

In fact, even if she chooses the woman whose father has the lowest official position and the least outstanding appearance, the other party may not agree.

Zhou Dingli's hamstring was broken, and even though the government doctor was there to treat him in time, he couldn't recover. His foot was not walking well, and it was a slope visible to the naked eye.

In addition, he is a well-known dandy, he used to have the halo of a future Marquis on his head, but now he doesn't even have this halo, which girl would want such a person to be her husband.

Is he illiterate, or is he bad tempered and playful?
Affection, money, appearance, and status, one of these four is always worth seeking out.

While Mrs. Zhou was flipping through the pages, the door was suddenly pushed open heavily, and the cold wind came in.

She couldn't help shivering, and looked at the person who came.

"Hou, Lord Hou."

"how?"

Zhou Yi walked in, and when he saw the pattern on the snack box on the wooden table, he asked again, "Did you see your mother?"

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help sneering, "Oh, how could she meet me? I've blown the cold wind at the door all afternoon, but I haven't seen the door open."

"Everyone who goes to visit has a share of this snack, it's not unique to us."

"In my opinion, we don't need to explain to her. Even if she searches all the people in Beijing, it is impossible to find us here."

"We didn't do anything. It was she who attracted people's hatred and attracted so many assassins."

Zhou Yi closed the lid impatiently, "Enough."

"If no evidence has been found for everyone, who do you think is the most suspicious?"

This is what worries Zhou Yi. Although there are many people in Shengjing who are dissatisfied with Mrs. Gu, there are a few who dare to do it.

We all know that His Majesty has arranged guards around the General's Mansion, and sending assassins, doesn't it mean that the head on the neck is too safe?
So he thought for a while, but he didn't think of anyone who was out of his mind to make such a decision.

But after thinking about it carefully, if no one was found out as a suspect, would His Majesty suspect him?
Would it be suspected that he did evil things impulsively for Ding'er's revenge?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi had a headache. He squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and after drinking half a cup of tea, he said, "Let's release the news to the outside world. It means that my foot is completely useless."

"Master Hou, how can this be said? If this is said, how can Ding'er marry a wife and have children?" Mrs. Zhou's pupils shrank slightly, disapproving of this sentence.

She has put the rest of her life on this.

If those concubines and concubines' sons climbed onto her head, she might as well die.

"If you want him to die, just go out and lie to others, and his feet are already healed."

Mrs. Zhou misunderstood what he meant, and said angrily, "Could it be that this Gu Ruzhen is really so ignorant of the king's law, her brother was just beaten dozens of times, and Ding'er's feet are all crippled, so what should I do? Do you have to have Dinger die to let it go?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you it was because of this reason?" Zhou Yi couldn't believe it. He spent a long time fighting outside and spent most of his time in the martial arts field when he returned home, so the person who came into contact with Mrs. Zhou Time seriously doesn't count.

It was the first time he realized that the wife he married was so stupid.

"Isn't that the reason? What else could it be? Ding'er didn't provoke her elsewhere?" Mrs. Zhou shrank her neck and said dissatisfied.

It would be strange for her to say that His Majesty, there are so many women in Tianqin who are as beautiful as heavenly immortals and have both ability and virtue, why they just fell in love with a Qingxuan woman.

"Did Ding'er do anything else before this incident? Can he stand the investigation? Do you think Ding'er's life can be saved if His Majesty sends someone to investigate?"

Judging by the posture of Ding'er and the guards in the mansion, it is definitely not the first time that they have bullied the women of the people.
