My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After being silent for a while, Du Jingyi finally recovered.

Gu Shaoyu didn't say much, because the road they were going to go down was not much cleaner than this matter, so it was a good thing to know now, at least they wouldn't think too much of people's hearts.

How could human nature, tainted by imperial power, be said to be pure and flawless? Gu Shaoyu understood this a few years ago, and now, it is time for his wife to understand.

The matter was so important that even if the couple knew the truth, they would not dare to talk nonsense, so the matter would follow them throughout their lives until they were buried in a pile of loess.

After clearing his thoughts, Du Jingyi's face didn't look so good.

The queen can attack the people next to her at will, but she may not have much protection for her subordinates. Therefore, it is better to be more prepared when the life of the whole family is at stake.

"Then what does the general plan to do?"

Gu Shaoyu knew what Du Jingyi was worried about, so he asked the Su family to prepare a way out in advance, so that they would not be wiped out all at once without knowing how they died.

"I've been involved too much, and it's impossible to withdraw. I can only ask for more life-saving charms for you and the children after the crown prince ascends the throne, while the Queen and Prime Minister Guo are still here. "

"But the Queen, I'm afraid..."

"Don't think too much. In any case, we are still in the same boat with the prince and the Guo family. It's not time to worry about one of our own being stabbed in the back. We are just taking precautions before they happen. So, I think In the past two years, just find a suitable reason to make some mistakes, so that the new emperor has enough reasons to criticize me. It is best to be sent back to Cezhou, so that our family can stay away from the court in two years. Have a happy birthday."

What Gu Shaoyu thinks is the principle that the world advocates - retreat bravely from the rapids.

And when the new emperor sees that he is so considerate of promotion, he may show his favor, and then their family will be able to avoid possible disasters in the future.

But Du Jingyi didn't approve of this approach, looked at him firmly, and then asked.

"General, Brother Tai is already the father-in-law of the Gu family. When he grows up, he will still have to shoulder a huge burden. Even if our family has lived a peaceful life for several years, it is not likely that we will be able to live in peace in the future."

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu became somewhat interested in Du Jingyi's words.

"What do you mean, madam?"

"The world always thinks that this is a good idea to retreat bravely from the rapids, but I think that seeking stability in danger may not be a bad idea."

"How to say?"

"The Daxing Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and the older generation of founding fathers have also passed away. After the prince ascends to the throne, with his merits as a general, he will inevitably be promoted to another level. Before reaching the age of forty, he is already a military general of the dynasty. Even if you are a top-notch person, you will be wary of anyone who is in power, but if the general picks an evenly matched opponent and opposes you every once in a while, it may be more appropriate than giving in to allow the new emperor to secure his throne."

Then she put the word "weigh" on the table with tea, and Gu Shaoyu obviously understood her intention.

Living high in a temple, it is most taboo to stand out alone, but if two tigers confront each other and the three pillars stand upright, it is unlikely that the one in charge will break this strange harmony.

Therefore, after Gu Shaoyu thought for a while, he agreed with Du Jingyi's statement, and then said with a smile.

"It's God's will, so I'll do it."

As soon as his words came out, Du Jingyi understood that her general had someone in mind, but she didn't know who it was. She didn't know everything about the court affairs, and she was not someone who wanted to be a concubine or a queen mother. So there is no need to be so clear.

Therefore, after explaining these things clearly, we did not continue to struggle.

She originally wanted to ask about Liu Xun, but she was afraid of arousing her husband's sadness. If something happened to him, her asking would only make matters worse.

Unexpectedly, she was still thinking about it, and she saw me the next day.

When he got up early in the morning, Du Jingyi was in good condition.

With their beloved by their side, the couple naturally had a good night of honey and oil, so although they were a little tired when they got up in the morning, they looked good.

After a quick shower, I changed into some comfortable clothes and sat down to wait for breakfast.

Gu Shaoyu didn't have much to do in the past two days, so he accompanied her at home. After the two of them had just drank two mouthfuls of porridge, they saw a person walking in from outside, it was Liu Xun.

He looked much thinner than before. He was originally strong, but now he looked thin. Du Jingyi shouted in surprise.

"Mr. Liu?"

"My subordinate has met Madam."

"You, the general has found you."

"Um."

"That's good, that's good."

Liu Xun was as taciturn as ever, and Du Jingyi's joy in his eyes was still very touching. In any case, it felt good to be remembered by the general, his wife, and the brothers of Huben Army!

When Gu Shaoyu saw him, he remembered that he had forgotten to mention this last night, but now was not the time for gossip. There must be a reason why Liu Xun came now, so he asked.

"How is the fourth prince's residence?"

"The imperial doctor worked hard all night but failed to save the child. The legitimate son left by the former fourth prince's concubine died of poison. White flags have been hung up in the fourth prince's mansion. Also, I heard that the person who did it was the nun next to the fourth prince's concubine. He confessed under torture, and it was under the instructions of the Wei family, so the fourth prince has already filed a lawsuit in the palace, making a fuss about divorcing his wife."

Everything was going in the direction that the couple thought of last night. When Du Jingyi heard that the child had been poisoned, his first reaction was that there was a spy around the fourth prince or in the Dingping Marquis Mansion.

This child can be said to be the biggest connection between the fourth prince and Dingpinghou Mansion. Without this child, Dingpinghou Mansion may not be able to sincerely help the fourth prince.

Therefore, this must not be something that both parties are happy to see, so the death of the child involves other people. From this point of view, the backyard of the fourth prince is really not peaceful at all.

"Well, since you are still seriously ill, it's better to go out less and recuperate more. Just leave the matter to the people below."

"My subordinates are fine, general, don't worry."

Hearing what Liu Xun said, Gu Shaoyu felt heartbroken. He still remembered that when he found Liu Xun from the secret prison, he had only one breath left. Fortunately, they had good doctors and precious medicinal materials around them, otherwise , I'm afraid there will be another tomb next to Luo Yuan in the Gu family cemetery.

So, he immediately said with a fierce face.

"I'm not talking to you. This is a military order. Within three months, I don't want to see a message from you. Do you understand?"
