Chapter 348 Princess Yurong Becomes a Troublemaker
Gu Zheng hurriedly stood up, bowed to His Majesty, and said, "When the eldest lady returned home yesterday, I explained to her clearly that her mother died of illness and her father and brother died of accidents."
Gu Jiaojiao said angrily, "My father, mother, and brother died in mysterious circumstances. They must have been murdered by someone in the palace. I hope Your Majesty will help me."
The old lady burst into tears and said, "Jiaojiao, your father deliberately locked the door and put tung oil in it, and both father and son died..."
"Father is the one who fears death the most. How could he possibly drag my brother to die?"
She pointed at Gu Zheng and said, "Father and brother are gone, and the title and property are in the hands of a bastard like you. You are the murderer."
Gu Zheng defended himself, "Father and brother really wanted to go there on their own. I can't do anything if you don't believe me, Miss."
Gu Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Aunt San, can you tell me how my father and brother died?"
When Xie Zhaozhao was called, she looked calm and said in a clear voice: "Self-immolate!"
"Impossible! You must have killed him together." Gu Jiaojiao cried to Jin Shun, "Husband, you have to avenge my parents and brother!"
Jin Shun continued to put pressure on Emperor Hui: "Emperor Daqian, please give us an explanation."
"Gu Zheng, please show the suicide note left by the uncle to the eldest lady." Xie Zhaozhao was too lazy to argue with Gu Jiaojiao.
Gu Zheng asked his personal servant to go back home to get it.
Madam Zhang whispered to Xie Zhaozhao, "Looking at this situation, I'm afraid they have other purposes."
Xie Zhaozhao smiled faintly.
To be angry for beauty?
Perhaps when the Nanzhao Kingdom learned about the war in Daqian, it started to have other ideas?
Gu Zheng's servant quickly brought Gu Boyu's last words and gave them to Gu Jiaojiao to read.
It is indeed Gu Boyu’s handwriting, Gu Boyu’s last words.
After reading it, Gu Jiaojiao angrily said, "Who knows if this is a forgery by you? Everyone else in the entire Bo's Mansion is fine, but my parents and brother and sister-in-law are in trouble. Who would believe this?"
Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact."
"I don't believe it, Your Majesty, you need to give my parents and brothers an explanation."
Gu Jiaojiao sat there angrily with tears in her eyes, and Jin Shun coaxed her carefully.
The women of Daqian were very reserved, and they felt embarrassed when they looked at these two people.
The old lady suppressed her discomfort and said, "Jiaojiao, your father and brother really committed suicide."
The old lady felt very sad when she thought about the death of her eldest son and grandson.
She gave birth to three sons, and her favorite was the eldest.
Gu Jiaojiao said: "You are just kidding. Someone must give an explanation, otherwise this matter will not end."
Emperor Hui lightly pressed down and asked, "How about it according to your will?"
"I want Gu Zheng and Gu Shaoyu to pay for the lives of my father and brother."
"Do you still want Daqian to pay for their lives?"
Emperor Hui sneered, "You are from Daqian, but you have repeatedly instigated the deterioration of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious. I could expel you from the palace before, and I can still expel you from the palace now. Come, drive the chieftain's wife out of the palace."
Jin Shun stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, are you too arbitrary?"
"I am receiving you for the sake of the Crown Prince and Princess of Nanzhao, but that does not mean that Daqian is afraid of you," said Emperor Hui.
The old lady suddenly stood up and said, "Gu Jiaojiao, you must have an explanation. I am here to tell you: Aunt Yue, that bitch, was unfaithful to her husband and had an affair with the Crown Prince. She was caught by the boss and everyone in the capital knows about it.
The prince wanted to silence Gu Chengyan to cover up his scandal, and the eldest brother wanted to save the whole family, so he dragged Gu Chengyan to die with him. "
He cried loudly, saying, "I wanted to ask His Majesty for an explanation, but the second and third sons disagreed... I have pity on my eldest son and grandson. They sacrificed their own lives just to have the crown prince confined for half a year."
It would have been better if she hadn't said this. After she did, Gu Jiaojiao immediately stood up angrily: "No wonder Your Majesty pretended to be deaf and dumb and kicked me out. It turns out that my father and brother were forced to death by the court!"
She stood up, pointed at Xie Zhaozhao and said, "What a crap elder, he will only kill his own people for his own selfish interests."
Jin Shun stood up angrily, chased Gu Jiaojiao out, and said, "Emperor Daqian, we will see you on the battlefield."
The prince of Nanzhao clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, let's talk about this later!"
They left as well.
Concubine Xi looked at the old lady, her face darkening, "Old lady, you have contributed greatly to the decline of the Marquisate! You are really more of a hindrance than a help!"
Emperor Hui was furious and said to Gu Zheng: "The old lady of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion was disrespectful in front of the palace and is expelled from the palace. The Pingyang Marquis's generation is over."
The Marquis's Mansion will become the Earl's Mansion, and now, the Earl's generation is over. In other words, the Earl's generation will end with Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng’s face turned pale. He looked at the old lady and wanted to kill her.
Jin Shun and Gu Jiaojiao were leaving the palace when a carriage blocked Gu Jiaojiao's way.
When the curtain of the carriage was opened, Gu Jiaojiao naturally recognized this face: Princess Yurong.
She said arrogantly: "What do you want to do, Princess?"
"Talk to you." said Princess Yurong.
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
Princess Yurong approached her and whispered, "What if I knew the truth about your family's death? Do you want to hear it?"
Gu Jiaojiao looked at her, and Princess Yurong nodded affirmatively.
The two agreed to go to Chaoyang Pavilion to eat and chat.
Jin Shun was worried and followed her.
Princess Yurong said jokingly, "Jin Shun, it seems like you two have a good relationship?"
Jin Shun felt puzzled. He was sure that this was the first time he met Princess Yurong, but she seemed very familiar with him.
When they arrived at Chaoyang Pavilion, the three of them entered the private room. Princess Yurong asked her guards to guard the door, and she, Gu Jiaojiao and Jin Shun entered Chaoyang Pavilion together.
Now that there were no outsiders around, Princess Yurong smiled and asked, "How was it? Did Xie Zhaozhao tell you the truth?"
Gu Jiaojiao told Princess Yurong what happened at the palace banquet.
"Gu Jiaojiao, nine out of ten things Xie Zhaozhao says are lies and clichés, but she is also good at disguising herself and her evidence is very solid."
"what is going on?"
"It's very simple. Your sister-in-law cooperated with the Crown Prince and sent the elixir to the emperor. Gu Shaoyu was afraid that the emperor would kill the entire Gu family after he found out, so he forced your father and your brother to die. With their death, the Gu family would be saved, and Gu Shaoyu's official position would be saved..."
Princess Yurong also said that "Guan Yingying" discovered that Gu Shaoyu forced Gu Boyu and Gu Chengyan to death, so Guan Yingying was silenced.
"So, my father, brother, and sister-in-law were all forced to death by my third uncle and aunt?"
"Yes, it is also strange that your mother died of a cold on the road. Madam Bo has always been in good health."
"How does the princess know all this?"
"Because I like the immortality tea made by your brother and sister-in-law, I have been in contact with them, so I naturally know the inside story. It's a pity that my father protects Elder Gu. Last time I mentioned it, my father beat me up. Look, my legs and feet are still not healed."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because the person I hate the most is Xie Zhaozhao, no one else. In addition, I also want to show my sincerity to you. I want the Hibiscus Cream you have."
"Xie Zhaozhao, Gu Shaoyu, I will not be a human being if I don't kill you!"
Gu Jiaojiao's eyes were bloodshot. Since Gu Shaoyu had gone to the northwest, then Xie Zhaozhao and the baby in her belly would both go to hell!
The next day, Nanzhao put forward conditions to the court: either Nanzhao and Daqian would go to war, or Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao would be handed over to Nanzhao for handling.
Emperor Hui’s reply was: Nanzhao envoys, get out of Daqian!
