Chapter 1045 Should we give someone a taste of their own medicine?
The eldest princess looked at Gu Zizhan and asked about the situation in the palace.
Gu Zizhan said that there has been some chaos in the palace recently because Princess Xinghe is pregnant.
Concubine Xiang was put in solitary confinement because she offended Princess Xinghe.
The final cause of death was due to cold.
Then Shen Xia couldn't help but ask: "What about Concubine Rong?"
Gu Zizhan shook his head: "I don't know how he died?"
Shen Xia and the eldest princess frowned after hearing this.
A royal concubine died, and the royal guards died in unknown ways, and were demoted.
The eldest princess hasn’t asked why yet?
Then Gu Zizhan said, "At that time, I heard that Concubine Rong was killed by having her throat cut, and that there was an assassin in the palace. His Majesty was furious."
However, the three people in power did not believe this statement.
There were constant fights among the concubines in the harem.
Even if there is death, the Royal Guards are never involved.
The eldest princess: "Has anyone seen the assassin?"
Gu Zizhan shook his head: "No."
In fact, Gu Zizhan suspected that Concubine Rong was killed by His Majesty.
As to whether it was because Princess Xinghe lost her baby or for some other reason, it is not very clear.
Perhaps Concubine Rong had committed a serious crime. Originally, Concubine Rong could have been punished and Concubine Xiang could have been supported, which would have also been an explanation to the Qin family.
As a result, Xiangpin was also gone.
The Qin family has no women of the right age.
And Your Majesty still has to rely on the Qin family.
Therefore, it is impossible for Your Majesty to take Concubine Rong's life for such a trivial matter.
Then Concubine Rong must have done something unforgivable, otherwise Your Majesty would not have taken action.
But what exactly happened is unknown.
In the end, His Majesty had to keep it a secret and said that Concubine Rong died while saving his life.
This may be due to the Qin family.
There is.
If an assassin entered the palace, the Royal Guards would definitely be punished.
It turned out that Gu Yichen had been trying to find a way to get rid of Gu Zizhan, and now was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
He would never miss it.
After all, when the Empress Dowager's palace was searched before, it is still unclear whether he was involved.
Gu Zizhan told all the guesses in his mind.
Then Shen Xia listened.
He told her again about his previous treatment with Concubine Rong.
Shen Xia felt that there was some connection between them after all.
A sudden inspiration?
No way!
"Should we give someone a taste of his own medicine?" Shen Xia suddenly thought of that day when Xing told the princess that she was pregnant, and she found Concubine Rong's reaction at that time very strange.
If Concubine Rong really treated the person in his own way, then it would make sense.
Shen Xia could only admire Concubine Rong in her heart.
The children of generals have a clear distinction between love and hate. When they love, they love to death, and when they hate, they can really do it.
Thinking about the daughter of the Qin family who later returned to the palace, she never thought about Qin Rong's situation at all.
Think about how proud Xiangpin was when she was sick.
They are all poor people after all.
Gu Zizhan and the eldest princess were thinking about the feasibility of what Shen Xia said.
Later, the two thought about it and realized that apart from this, they could not think of any reason for His Majesty to kill Concubine Rong.
The three of them knew what was going on.
Princess Xinghe had a miscarriage.
In other words, this child is most likely not your Majesty's, so how dare she do that.
Of course these are just guesses.
But one thing is certain: His Majesty has begun to slowly reduce their power.
Shen Xia looked at the eldest princess, wanting to hear what her mother would do.
The princess looked at Gu Zizhan and said, "It seems that being dismissed is a good thing now. It is better than being demoted. If you were demoted, you would only be able to stay in an idle position, but now you can leave the capital."
The eldest princess talked about leaving the capital.
Shen Xia had an idea in his mind.
Correct.
Her sharpshooters.
Gu Zizhan also had an idea of this because he had talked about it with the princess before.
But he didn't know how the Sharpshooter Battalion had developed, and he never asked about these things.
Does he listen to whatever his aunt says?
If you ask him what he thinks, he will say what he thinks.
Without asking, the idea remains.
The princess continued, "The guns over there have been assembled and training has begun. It's a good time for you to lead the team now."
Gu Zizhan glanced at Shen Xia and nodded: "Okay."
Gu Zizhan understood the power of guns.
He had seen its power since the last time they assassinated someone on the road.
This is their last trump card.
So when my aunt gives this to him now, it is equivalent to handing over her future destiny to him.
He was definitely willing, the only thing he was reluctant about was leaving Yuan'er.
I couldn't see it for several months.
The reluctance in Gu Zizhan's eyes was almost visible.
Finally, the eldest princess said: "This short separation is only for a long reunion in the future, so don't be too sentimental."
Gu Zizhan bowed and said, "Aunt is right."
"Well, you all go back! Come back in two days."
"Okay." Gu Zizhan.
The princess looked at Shen Xia and said, "Then let Ling Heng's people take him there."
Shen Xia: "Okay."
The two said goodbye and left.
Quiet night
The two walked together on the path.
Neither of them said anything about leaving.
Shen Xia quietly held Gu Zizhan's hand.
There are thin calluses on the middle of his hands, probably from all the years in the army.
Recalling the first time we met.
He was still a civil official, people back then were not like that.
He was even thinner at that time.
Five years later, it's much stronger than before.
Gu Zizhan turned around and looked down at Shen Xia's profile: "Yuan'er, are we going to continue our marriage as usual?"
Shen Xia looked up at him: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the same as before."
Gu Zizhan: He doesn’t want anything to happen, he wants a grand ceremony with Xia Xia, even though she won’t be as excited as the first time.
I want to see her wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe for me.
Shen Xia was thinking, since Gu Yichen had begun to dismiss Zizhan, did that mean he was planning to take action against them?
There are still more than three months to go.
I don't know what the situation is.
This time, the attack was against the Queen Mother.
Although they didn't have any evidence.
But how could the old people in the Queen Mother's harem be completely defenseless?
I think he must be suspicious of her in his heart.
He is just hiding from the spotlight, waiting for the right opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.
She didn't believe that the Queen Mother would surrender so easily.
Even if she doesn't do it herself, she will probably fan the flames in front of His Majesty.
Shen Xia had to admit that she was right. Gu Zizhan's unemployment was the result of the Queen Mother's instigation.
The Queen Mother's idea from the beginning to the end was to destroy the Princess's Mansion.
But Gu Yichen was too kind-hearted to let it go.
Whether it was then or now.
He couldn't bear to part with Shen Xia.
He now believes more in the fortune-telling given by Abbot Yuanyi that day.
So Gu Yichen wanted to break Shen Xia's wings and imprison her in the palace.
The moonlight tonight is not full.
But it is exceptionally clear.
Like a small boat.
It seemed as if one could see the shape of a little rabbit in Guanghan Palace, but of course this was all Shen Xia’s imagination.
You can see a rabbit shape from this far away.
How big is that rabbit!
Shen Xia looked up at the moon.
He murmured, "Ah Zhan."
"Ah."
"We will live a long life."
"Okay, let's grow old together."
This was their previous commitment.
Shen Xia thought again of the vow they made to stay together forever.
Fate always plays tricks on us.
