Chapter 777
Thoughts were rolling in like a tide, and Gu Yuqing's already solemn expression sank deeper and deeper into the cold water.

Now the enemy is in the dark and they are in the open. Apart from knowing that the other party must have evil intentions, he knows almost nothing else. Under such circumstances, the uneasiness in Gu Yuqing's heart is even more worrying.

She was restless, and she was even more panicked when she was afraid of Concubine Hui. Halfway through the carriage, Gu Yuqing ordered it to get off, changed direction, and went straight to the palace.

Concubine Hui's "illness" has gradually improved. When she left, the emperor had just left. Concubine Hui was leaning on the goose feather pillow, lost in thought. When she saw her coming, she immediately put a smile on her lips and sat up straight, "It's so cold. God, why are you here?"

After greetings and greetings, Gu Yuqing followed the instructions of the palace maid and took a seat on the pine double armchair on the side of Concubine Hui's bed. She suppressed her previous uneasiness and worry and said softly: "Come and see the empress."

Concubine Hui's eyes rolled with tenderness, and she took a deep look at Gu Yuqing, "You are afraid that I will hurt Shen Yu'er!"

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips, twisted the silk handkerchief, and said, "The Fourth Highness is ordered to provide disaster relief. Why don't others mention it? It's because they don't understand the Fourth Highness, but the empress is well aware of the skills of the Fourth Highness. It's not to mention hurting the spirit of the Fourth Highness." Okay, it will definitely be a great victory."

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "You kid, you can trust him." She said with a faint sigh, "No matter how great his ability is, it's just a matter of behind-the-scenes tactics. How can he still use this kind of open sword and clear gun?" It has never been experienced before, and it can trigger riots. It can be seen that the public resentment is so strong. The local government can't suppress it anymore. They are afraid of causing a bigger trouble, so they report it to the court. However, His Majesty just sent Yu'er who had no experience to speak of. Tell me, can I not worry?"

"Suppressing riots, calming the hearts of the people, dealing with the aftermath of disasters, and rebuilding disaster-stricken areas all require not only resourcefulness, but also experience and patience. Yu'er has no experience at all. He doesn't even know the regulations for disaster relief. , really uneasy.”

"What makes me even more uneasy is that His Majesty doesn't even deserve to give him an assistant. He throws such a heavy task to him regardless of whether he can take it steadily. He says he wants to sharpen his skills and imitate Cang. Among the seventh princes of Lan Kingdom, who can become fat in one bite!"

"It was all instigated by Han Chaoen. If he had not come to the palace again and again to tell His Majesty about this matter, His Majesty would not have made such a decision in a flash of his mind when the disaster in Shaanxi came."

"Your Majesty has never been soft-hearted. For some reason this time, Han Chaoen had such a big influence. He regretted it after all this person was fired! He said he wanted to send another person to follow him secretly, but this person was sent secretly. How can a person who goes there be the same as someone who goes there in an upright manner?"

"If this disaster relief process goes smoothly, then all the glory will be attributed to Yu'er. Everything that Yu'er has endured over the years will be exposed. Those treacherous ministers with evil intentions in the court will not know what will happen. When chaos breaks out, Xiao Duo and Xiao Yi are gone. Yu'er can be calm for a few days, but they will disturb her day and night."

"If the disaster relief process does not go smoothly, then Yu'er will bear all the blame alone. By then, the whole country will know that he is useless..."

Concubine Hui was trembling with anger and couldn't speak. She paused for a moment, took the hot tea handed to her by the maid, took a sip, and then breathed out.

He added: "When the time comes, even if His Majesty intends to favor Yu'er, how can he withstand the overwhelming public resentment?"

Facing Gu Yuqing, Concubine Hui spoke without hesitation.

Now that Concubine Hui has said this, if Gu Yuqing continues to sing the happy words as before, it would mean that he and Concubine Hui are not of the same mind.

"Your Majesty said that your majesty was inspired by Han Chaoen to order the next imperial decree?" Gu Yuqing said after a little deliberation, "Then your majesty has thought through what your majesty said now?"

Concubine Hui sighed, "What's the use of thinking it through! It's just a sigh and a complaint."

Hearing this, Gu Yuqing probably understood that the emperor came up just now, I'm afraid it was Guifei Hui who told about this matter, no wonder the emperor's face was so ugly when he met on the road, it seems that Xiao Yu left, he regretted it very much.

Fortunately, she thought that the emperor's appointment of Xiao Yu as the chief general for disaster relief was a special arrangement...

It turns out that he simply hopes that his son can be as good as the seventh prince of Canglan Kingdom, and he is trying to encourage him!

The emperor's behavior, although unwise, is actually normal.

The strangest thing about the whole thing was Han Chaoen.

As the emperor's mentor, Han Chaoen always stayed out of the government affairs, did not interfere in any of the emperor's decisions, and never even turned a deaf ear in front of the emperor. How could he be so tireless in Xiao Yu's experience and training this time!

The old man with a hunchback and hunched waist floated in his mind, and Gu Yuqing tried his best to search for everything about him in his past and present lives.

In the last life, Han Chaoen's ending was tragic. He had no children, no wife, no concubines, but he was found dead in the backyard of Cuihong Mansion. He was stabbed several times, his brain was split, his hands and feet were missing, and his chest was missing. A pair of extremely coquettish water-red embroidered shoes were placed neatly on her face.

The pair of embroidered shoes was confiscated by the Ministry of Punishment as evidence for investigation.

At that time, it was Xiao Duo who was responsible for assisting the Ministry of Punishment in handling the matter. Xiao Duo had brought the embroidered shoes back to the government for closer inspection, so Gu Yuqing had a particularly fresh memory of those embroidered shoes.

As she thought about this, her heart suddenly shrank... She seemed to have seen the pattern on those embroidered shoes somewhere... a fleeting glimpse of it, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

In front of Concubine Hui, it was not easy to think about this matter in detail, so she had to put it aside for the time being, "Has Your Highness ever mentioned the envoy of Canglan Kingdom to the empress?"

Concubine Hui's originally frowning brows suddenly raised slightly, she turned her eyes and looked straight at Gu Yuqing, shaking her head, "No, why, Yu'er went to Shaanxi to provide disaster relief, is it related to the Canglan envoy?"

Gu Yuqing shook his head, "I don't know if it's related or not. It's just that the day before yesterday, His Highness just learned the news that three people from the elite battalion of the Lord of Canglan Kingdom and two staff members from His Majesty's Seventh Highness' mansion appeared in Baoding Mansion. According to Ming Lu's news, Those people have been staying in Baoding Mansion for half a month. I don’t know if they have stayed in other areas of my country before that, but this alone is enough to make people feel uneasy."

Concubine Hui heard about Canglan Kingdom's elite camp, and immediately turned pale, "Why did the people from the elite camp get together with the staff of the seventh prince of Canglan? Does your Majesty know about this?"

"I know, after the Fourth Highness got the news, he deliberately let the news to the commander of the Forbidden Army." Gu Yuqing said: "Originally, the Fourth Highness planned to secretly investigate and find out what those people were planning to do before taking any measures. But now, the Shaanxi disaster has caused him Being transferred out of Kyoto, I'm afraid the original deployment will have to be adjusted."

 Thanks for the reward from the lovely Shengshilanshan!
