The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

"Tomorrow, my second uncle will find an opportunity to convey your words to His Majesty."

"I knew my second uncle was the best to me." Gu Wangshu hugged Gu Chengfeng's arm and rocked it coquettishly.

Gu Chengfeng was so coaxed by her to smile that he forgot all his worries.

The palace, the imperial study.

Helianjue sat at his desk for a long time, unable to regain his composure.

The images in his mind were all of Lu Xing's bloody head and what Gu Wangshu said to him at the city gate.

He admitted that Gu Wangshu was right. Lu Xing was indeed arrogant and contemptuous of his superiors. This crime should be punished by death.

But Lu Xing is different from ordinary people. He has talents. If he can use them, it will be Helian's blessing.

He was killed so easily by Gu Wangshu, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity.

But it's a pity that it's useless, everyone is dead, what can he do.

It is not easy to find someone as talented as Lu Xing.

He was worrying about this matter when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the imperial study room.

Helian Jue immediately covered up his sadness and waited until he adjusted his facial expression before saying:

"Enter."

With this sound, the door was pushed open, and the Queen Mother walked in with Aunt Cui, who was holding soup Gu in her hand.

"It's late at night. Your Majesty, please rest after drinking the chicken soup. The body of the dragon is important."

While speaking, Aunt Cui had gently placed the chicken soup in front of Helian Jue.

Helianjue was not in the mood to drink chicken soup, but he couldn't refute his mother's concubine, so he had to pick up a spoon and drink it one spoonful at a time.

The Queen Mother sat down, looked at Helian Jue quietly, and asked as if unintentionally:

"I heard that the emperor brought all the civil and military officials to the city gate to greet Lu Xing before dusk. I wonder if Lu Xing has been invited."

Helianjue's hand holding the spoon paused.

"Please come..."

The Queen Mother looked happy, but before the joy could spread, she heard Helian Jue's next words.

"His head."

"???"

Invited his head?

In other words, Lu Xing is dead?How did you die?Who killed him?Why kill him?

A series of questions lingered in the Queen Mother's mind.

"what happened?"

Helian Jue didn't want to say more. Lu Xing was already dead, so it would be useless to say more.

But when his mother asked about it, he had to tell her, so he told her what happened in front of the city gate.

"Does the Queen Mother think what Gu Wangshu did is right?"

The Queen Mother pondered for a while and said:

"It stands to reason that what she did was the right thing to do."

"Lu Xing has repeatedly defied the imperial power and deserves to be killed."

"But Helian is in a difficult situation and most needs the help of wise men. If it were a time of peace, he would kill Lu Xing. But now in troubled times, Gu Wangshu's behavior is inappropriate, unless... .”

"Unless what?" Hope appeared in Helianjue's eyes.

"Unless Gu Wangshu can find someone more talented than Lu Xing, then it would not be a pity to kill Lu Xing."

Are there such people?Helian Jue expressed doubts.

Lu Xing is arrogant and arrogant for no reason. He is famous throughout Helian. The fact that he can be called a great scholar in the world shows that his talents are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But Helianjue also felt that with Gu Wangshu's intelligence, she would never act impulsively to kill Lu Xing. Perhaps when she killed Lu Xing, she had already found someone who could replace him.

So who will this person be?

It was necessary for him to ask Gu Wangshu personally.

The Queen Mother saw Helianjue's intention and followed his wishes:

"Why don't the Ai family send her to the palace tomorrow to ask her clearly?"

She could take this opportunity to take a good look at the beloved daughter of the Gu family. A woman like Gu Wangshu, who was distinguished and intelligent, was best suited to consolidate the imperial power.

It just so happened that Gu Wangshu had already grown hair, and Helianjue had not yet established a queen. Isn't this a perfect match?

Helian Jue did not notice the Queen Mother's thoughts, so he did not refuse.

The mother and son chatted for a while and then went back to the dormitory.

Blink of an eye to the second day.

After the morning court, Gu Chengfeng planned to find an opportunity to tell Helian Jue what Gu Wangshu wanted to see the emperor.

Before he could open his mouth, the opportunity came to him.

The other courtiers all left the Jinluan Palace, leaving Helian Jue alone with Gu Chengfeng.

"The Queen Mother has sent someone to Aiqing's Mansion to invite Miss Gu to the palace." Helian Jue said straight to the point.

Gu Chengfeng's breath was suffocated, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Facing his worried eyes, Helian Jue explained:

"My dear, don't worry. The queen mother didn't have any excessive intentions in calling her into the palace."

Gu Chengfeng's mind changed rapidly, and he also felt that He Lianjue was right. Xiao Shu had once saved the Queen Mother's son, so what harm could the Queen Mother have in summoning her.

Even though he comforted himself in this way, Gu Chengfeng still felt uneasy.

On the other side, Gu Wangshu had already been taken to Fengyi Palace.

He originally thought that the Queen Mother summoned him just because of Lu Xing's affairs, but from the way the Queen Mother looked at her, Gu Wangshu felt as if she had become a prey, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.

"I haven't seen you for many days. Miss Gu's appearance is becoming more and more elegant."

"The queen mother is too complimentary." Gu Wangshu was simply polite, then sat there dignifiedly and said no more.

"You are Jin'er's savior and helped Jue'er ascend to the throne. You don't have to be so formal. Just treat this place as your home."

Gu Wangshu's heart skipped a beat.

Her intuition told her that the Queen Mother was testing her.

The Gu family is a minister, the royal family is a monarch, and it is natural for a minister to save the emperor. As a queen mother, it is really inappropriate for her to say that she should regard the palace as her home. This is not something a shrewd woman can say.

Could it be that the Queen Mother said this because she wanted to use her to consolidate the imperial power?

Thinking of this possibility, a trace of irritation flashed in Gu Wangshu's lowered eyes.

She didn't show any emotion. Whether it is yes or no remains to be seen.

"There is a difference between monarch and minister." With only four words, Gu Wangshu gently but firmly refuted the Queen Mother's words, leaving the Queen Mother unable to find any fault.

The Queen Mother was not angry when she was rejected, her smile was dignified and cordial.

"If the Ai family remembers correctly, you already had your haircut more than a month ago, right?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, my daughter has indeed reached her hair age."

"Is there a marriage?"

As expected, she guessed correctly, the Queen Mother was plotting against her.

As for why she wanted to take advantage of her, the reason was very simple. The Gu family was very popular, and even though they helped the crown prince ascend the throne, any emperor would be wary of the Gu family having military power.

In order to consolidate the imperial power and contain the Gu family, marriage is the best way.

Gu Wangshu didn't think that this method was thought up by Helianjue. It was most likely the intention of the Queen Mother alone.

Want to plot against her?There are no doors.

Gu Wangshu replied honestly:

"My daughter has never been married, but she already has a man she likes."
