My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After Guo Xiang got the answer he wanted, he simply stayed for a moment and then left the palace. After he left, Queen Guo, who was also exhausted mentally and physically, called Eunuch Hu in and said with tired eyes.

"Go and tell Eunuch Liu that it's not yet time. Your Majesty, please take more care of him."

"Yes, concubine."

After saying this, she asked the palace maid to take off her hairpin, put on a simple plain clothes, stood in front of the main hall, looked in the direction of Jinling City, and said silently to Mrs. Gu in her heart farewell words.

She wanted to go, but she couldn't.

For so many years, her life has always been like this, so the things suppressed in Queen Guo's heart are as high as a mountain, but now, to her, nothing matters anymore.

After the prince successfully ascends the throne, she will naturally go to find her destination.

She didn't want to be trapped in this palace for the rest of her life, seemingly enjoying the prosperity of the world, but in fact she was so tired that she didn't even dare to slack off even in her dreams.

Looking into the distance, the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

The next day, the fourth prince took the seventh prince into the palace with him. The first thing he did was to visit his mother-in-law.

The imperial concubine had not seen her son for half a month, so when she saw them, her eyes were full of love, and she waved to them and said.

"In the past, before we got married, I would come to the palace every three or two days to see my mother and concubine. But now it has changed. I can't see anyone for ten days and a half. I really forget my mother when I have a bride."

After hearing her words, the fourth prince and the seventh prince hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"It's all the son's fault for making the mother and concubine angry. One day I will bring the prince and concubine to apologize to the mother and concubine."

The seventh prince had a sweet talk and made the imperial concubine happy with just a few words, while the fourth prince looked at their loving mother and filial piety and was not jealous at all.

In this harem, the three of them, mother and son, have always been dependent on each other. They do not have a solid mother clan, nor have extraordinary abilities. Therefore, only by uniting closely can they obtain the most and greatest benefits. There is no doubt about this. And it's always been done this way.

The fourth prince wanted to compete for the top, so the seventh prince made himself his right-hand man. The imperial concubine could do many things in the palace, at least she could easily capture the emperor's mind.

Therefore, after the seventh prince made his mother happy, the fourth prince came forward and explained what he had agreed with Wei Taiwei and others yesterday.

"Mother and concubine must help her son. Success or failure depends on this. The son and the prince have been at loggerheads for many years. During this period, they have become even more fierce. If we really ask him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, then we will have no chance of survival. "

The imperial concubine looked at the fourth prince's determined look and felt very excited. She had lived in the palace for most of her life and had enjoyed every kind of favor.

She once had sincerity towards the emperor, but this sincerity was not cherished. As more and more women entered the harem, although she was still the so-called favorite, she also understood that it was just a late one. Just sunset.

As the sun sets, these bright sunset lights will disappear without a trace.

But the queen is still as holy as the sun and the moon, and she still shines on the earth. Thinking of this, the imperial concubine also has some resentment in her heart. She has been suppressed by such a person for decades, how can she not have any thoughts in her heart.

So he spoke.

"Yesterday, the prince and Prime Minister Guo went to Changchun Palace to see the queen. I don't know what they said. But after Prime Minister Guo left, Eunuch Hu went to his majesty's palace, but he didn't see his majesty. I just said a few words to Eunuch Liu who is serving His Majesty to ask him to take good care of me, I don’t know if there is anything fishy about it.”

On the surface, she looked calm and relaxed, but she was also carefully planning for her son.

She "knows" a lot about the emperor's current situation. After all, in order to win favor in the past, she used some unscrupulous methods on the emperor. Naturally, he also has his own spies around him, so the news from the Changchun Palace cannot be found out, but The people around the emperor still knew a lot.

Hearing this, the fourth prince became more and more convinced of this idea.

Then he said to his mother and concubine.

"The queen must have planned to tell her father the news of Mrs. Gu's death and Gu Shaoyu's departure from the capital. It's a pity that she can't see anyone. Why don't the mother and concubine leave? It's also a way to let the father know his most important thing. It is a grave crime of disobedience for that highly valued minister to leave without permission!"

With the words of the fourth prince, he even found an excuse to convict Gu Shaoyu!

The imperial concubine glanced at him, made some decisions in her heart, nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, please just sit back and relax these days, and wait until the mother-in-law handles this matter before we talk about anything else."

"Yes, concubine."

After succeeding, the fourth prince was of course happy from ear to ear, with a look full of pride. However, Gu Shaoyu, who was being plotted by him at the moment, did not even have time to stop and rushed to the place where the Su family's ship was docked. .

The sea was calm, and there were some small boats docked in twos and threes on the pier. They were certainly not comparable to those of the Su family, but they were also the basis for their owner's survival.

When the group came here, they did not see the Su family's big ship.

The person in charge of the Su family who came after hearing the news also said respectfully and with some comfort.

"I have immediately mobilized the ship after receiving the news, but it will still take half a day to arrive. General, please wait for a moment and rest and adjust first."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu had nothing to say.

They would have no problem riding on horseback, but in comparison, the Su family's big ship was much faster.

At this moment, all he could think about was rushing back to watch his grandmother's funeral, so he couldn't think of anything else.

Fortunately, after waiting for two hours, the Su family's big ship also appeared. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu gave instructions to Luo Yuan.

"Send the news to the young lady and tell her that we will be there in half a month at most!"

"Yes, General!"

Dismounting, boarding the ship and sailing away, the whole process was completed in one go.

Naturally, their horses cannot withstand such a voyage, so the remaining members of the Tiger Army and the Su family will arrange to take the land route and also head for Jinling City, but it will be slower.

But now, the most important thing is to get back.

The person in charge of the Su family took a deep breath and said after watching the big ship finally leave.

"Finally, I sent this man away. If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid the whip in his hand will hit me."

The people next to him were also deeply concerned. They had not had much contact with General Gu. He just waited at the dock with a cold face for two hours without moving. Who wouldn't be scared to see him?
