In Xianfu Palace, after Concubine Yi returned to the palace, she clamored to change her clothes to see the emperor. A figure suddenly walked out from behind the bead curtain. Concubine Yi didn't see the man's face clearly, so she sternly shouted: "You dog slave! Who asked you to stand there?"

Gu Changning, who was wearing a chamberlain uniform, slowly raised his head.

Just as she was about to blurt out the curse words, Concubine Yi swallowed them back alive, and quickly shouted away the palace people, leaving only her confidants to guard the outside. She changed her words and called in a low voice: "His Royal Highness."

She glanced at Gu Changning's clothes: "Why are you dressed like this?"

The palace door creaked shut, Gu Changning put away his humble gesture, sat down on the imperial concubine chair majestically, and leaned there.

Waves of pain hit his chest and ribs, which also stimulated Gu Changning's annoyance and hatred towards Emperor Jing Ren.

Concubine Yi frowned slightly, looking at Gu Changning's behavior, she had something to ask her: "Prince's Palace..."

"The Queen has fallen. If you want to remove the Shen family's minions, it depends on the emperor's mood. However, I am sure that the next person the emperor wants to move is the Yu family."

Concubine Yi's eyes darkened and she sat on the chair, pretending not to understand what Gu Changning said: "Why can't I understand the prince's words?"

Gu Changning put his head on his hands, narrowed his eyes and said, "The queen did what the emperor wanted to do."

What's the meaning? ——Concubine Yi stiffened, her expression fixed on her lips, and she stared at the prince questioningly.

At this time, Gu Changning sat up from the chaise longue, took out two cups, placed them on the table, and then broke one of the two cups.

Concubine Yi kept staring at Gu Changning's movements, and her eyebrows furrowed even more tightly: "What does this mean? What do these two cups mean?"

"Your eldest brother who guards Xiguan, and your second brother who died a few years ago. Your eldest brother is superb in martial arts, but illiterate. Although your second brother has no power to tie a chicken, he has extraordinary skills in moving troops and seeking power. Both of them are His ability was used on the battlefield and he was undefeated. In addition, your father, General Yu, made the generals of the Shang Dynasty more powerful than the Yu family. When Chen Bing heard about the Yu family's army, he became frightened. It's a pity that your second brother was killed. The traitor killed him."

Traitor!

Concubine Yi slowly sat upright.

Concubine Yi has two elder brothers, one civil and one military, both of whom have entered the military camp.

Her second brother Yu Qingfeng is a military advisor who is proficient in extraordinary military skills. As long as Yu Qingfeng is present, the Yu family army will never be defeated.

But three years ago, Yu Qingfeng was robbed and killed by bandits on his way back to the court.

The bandit didn't ask for money at all. After catching Yu Qingfeng, he chopped off Yu Qingfeng's head on the spot.

Emperor Jing Ren told her that it was Chen Bing who spent a lot of money to buy a killer in Yan State to kill her second brother.

She was sad for a long time because of this, and even today when she hears someone mention her second brother Yu Qingfeng's name, Concubine Yi's heart still hurts.

If her second brother does not die, he will definitely become a great person and continue the family's glory with her eldest brother.

however……

What does it mean when the prince suddenly mentioned her second brother?
"The prince says what he has to say directly, there is no need to beat around the bush." ​​Concubine Yi said bluntly.

Gu Changning's handsome face put on a faint smile, reached out to pick up a fragment, looked at the thing in his hand attentively and said: "I am thinking, Yu Qingfeng is so smart, how could he be robbed by bandits so easily, and how could he be like this?" It would be easy to die in the hands of bandits unless..."

"Unless what?" Gu Changning expressed the doubts in Concubine Yi's mind. She had always felt that the death of her second brother Yu Qingfeng was strange. How could such a smart person fall into the hands of bandits and be killed so easily. Gu Changning moved his eyes away and looked at Concubine Yi: "Your second brother is so smart. He must be escorted by an expert when he returns to court. No matter how powerful the killer is, he is probably no match for your eldest brother. With your eldest brother protecting you, you The second brother will definitely have nothing to worry about, unless you, the second brother, walked into the bandits' den by yourself."

"Why did my second brother walk into the bandits' den?"

"Is there someone he wants to save inside, or is there someone who sent him some kind of message that forced him to enter the bandit's den?"

The more Gu Changning said, the more confused Yi Guifei became. But Gu Changning had already made it so clear that Yi Guifei couldn't figure it out: "You want to tell me that the person who killed my second brother was not the killer bought by Chen Bing at all. ."

"If it is so easy for Chen Bing to come to our country of Yan to buy killers, then wouldn't Chen Bing be able to step into our country of Yan casually?"

After hearing this, Concubine Yi turned pale, and Emperor Jing Ren told her that Chen Bing bribed a killer to pretend to be a bandit and killed Yu Qingfeng, took away Yu Qingfeng's head, and hung it outside Chen Bing's barracks.

Concubine Yi's father and eldest brother sneaked into the Chenbing military camp and spent two thousand soldiers and horses to steal Yu Qingfeng's head.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yi shook her head and rejected the conjecture in her heart: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Did the Emperor tell you that Chen Bing bribed a killer to pretend to be a bandit, kidnapped your second brother, killed him and took his head?"

Concubine Yi's hands were trembling, and she looked at Gu Changning with a somewhat hollow look, and then nodded: "But my second brother's head was hung outside the Chenbing military camp, and I learned about this..."

She was suddenly very excited, and her eyes were full of anger: "I wish I could kill all the Chen soldiers, beat their bones, peel off their skin, and drain their blood to avenge my second brother..."

Concubine Yi's accusations like those of a murderous ghost echoed in the hall, and every word was filled with anger and murderous intent.

When she was losing control of her emotions, Gu Changning's voice interrupted her thoughts of hatred: "His achievements are as great as his own, has your concubine heard of it?"

Concubine Yi paused, looking at Gu Changning with scarlet eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and murmured to herself: "Gong, Gao, Gai, Zhu!"

She had the favor of her brother and her father's military exploits. She was arrogant and domineering in the harem and had no respect for others. She never paid attention to the gossip outside, thinking that with the emperor's favor, she would have nothing to worry about.

The four words "greater merits than master" that she heard from Gu Changning suddenly reminded her of one summer three years ago, when Yu Qingfeng played against Emperor Jing Ren. The undefeated Yu Qingfeng was just like his loud and clear nickname. Likewise, after winning ten games out of ten, Emperor Jing Ren's face turned ashen from defeat.

At that time, Concubine Yi was sitting next to Emperor Jingren and was frightened when she watched the two playing chess.

Three years later, Concubine Yi still vaguely remembers that frightening feeling.

After the game, Emperor Jing Ren asked Yu Qingfeng a word, and Yu Qingfeng said, "What the Yu family wants, they will never miss."

I didn't think there was anything wrong with this at first, but now that I think about it, it feels like a knife standing in the emperor's heart.

Concubine Yi suddenly jumped up from the chair, and then sat back down on the chair weakly. She was hit hard, her lips were slightly opened, and she trembled slightly: "Prince, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to build some virtue for Gu and the Crown Princess's children, and I don't want to continue to see Yan Guozhonglie die at the hands of stupid and unscrupulous people." Gu Changning nodded at the other cup he had just taken out. : "The child is innocent. Even without the queen's means, the Yu family would not be able to give birth to a prince. Think about it carefully."

The Yu family holds military power, and if the prince comes next to him again, the emperor will be afraid that he will not be able to sleep at night.

Now that Queen Shen and Prince Liang have fallen, Emperor Jingren will not touch the Shen family again. Instead, he will appease the Shen family and use the hatred of the Shen family to hate Concubine Yu and the Prince of the East Palace, and transfer the Shen family's anger to them... …(End of chapter)
