The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"Yuan Hui!"

Hearing these words, Concubine Ge was really afraid that Ge Yuanhui would do something out of line: "Don't say such things anymore! Your Majesty is already afraid of the Ge family. If such treasonous words fall into your ears, do you want to kill everyone!"

Ge Yuanhui simply said, "So what if you are afraid? If Your Majesty really wanted to leave the Ge family, you would have done it long ago."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Ge slapped her: "Stop talking!"

Even after being beaten, Ge Yuanhui was not angry. She only asked Concubine Ge: "Aunt, don't forget that the current emperor was able to obtain the throne because of the help of the Ge family, but after he took power, he forgot his promise to the Ge family. In order to win over the civil officials, he turned around and made the granddaughter of Prime Minister Jiang the queen! Otherwise, my cousin would be the eldest son now, why would he bother to fight for the throne?"

"I haven't forgotten!" Concubine Ge said sternly, "But what are you doing saying these things in the palace?! If you keep talking nonsense, you will never be allowed to enter the palace again!"

Ge Yuanhui turned his face away and said nothing.

Concubine Ge was disappointed and said, "You are so arrogant now, but you can't even beat Xue Zhiyi. How can you think you are capable of becoming the queen?"

When Ge Yuanhui thought of Xue Zhiyi, his eyes seemed to be poisoned.

At this moment, she only felt that hatred was tearing her heart, making her want to skin Xue Zhiyi and throw him into the frying pan immediately!

"How dare she block my way?!"

"She is not worthy, but if you want to be the future queen of Dayong, the people you meet along the way will be more difficult to deal with than her." Concubine Ge reminded.

When she thought of what happened today, Concubine Ge was so angry that she felt depressed: "Why don't you explain the cause and effect of today and whether it has anything to do with Xue Zhiyi!"

Ge Yuanhui's teeth were trembling, and his expression was full of resentment and humiliation: "I wanted to teach her a lesson and make her unable to stay in the palace, but I didn't expect that the cunning bitch had already set a trap, just waiting for me to fall into it!"

"I knew it was related to her again!" Concubine Ge said angrily, "Tell me in detail."

But when Ge Yuanhui finished saying all this with gritted teeth and sucking blood, Concubine Ge was stunned.

Instantly, she was furious: "Stupid!"

She couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and paced back and forth: "Song was originally someone in my palace. Now His Majesty suspects that she is creating an auspicious sign, and because of you, His Majesty suspects that the Ge family is also involved in this matter! His Majesty is suspicious to begin with, he would think, what use does Song's child have to the Ge family! No wonder... no wonder he treated you like that today, he wants to warn our Ge family and make us behave ourselves!"

Seeing Concubine Ge's reaction, Ge Yuanhui, who had been so ambitious just now, turned pale: "It is clearly Xue Zhiyi's doing. This matter can be investigated clearly!"

"But the problem is that His Majesty has already acknowledged the auspicious sign in Song's belly, so he won't investigate it openly. Even if he finds out, the humiliation at the banquet today is irreversible."

Concubine Ge sighed bitterly: "It would be fine if it could be investigated clearly, but I am afraid that someone is deliberately not letting this matter be investigated, so that Your Majesty can use this to deepen his fear of the Ge family..."

Ge Yuanhui grabbed her sleeves, her eyes filled with anxiety. She couldn't help but curse, "It's still that Tu Lanying. She came here for no reason to instigate me to join her in dealing with Xue Zhiyi!"

"Tu Lanying?" Concubine Ge was suddenly stunned.

Ge Yuanhui sneered: "It's her! I was thinking that the Dali Temple Minister was my cousin's woman, so I trusted her a little, but I didn't expect it to be so useless!"

But Concubine Ge's pupils were trembling, and her face suddenly became gloomy. No one knew what she was thinking, and she slowly sat down.

"Tu Lanying?" she repeated.

"Yes, I should have thought of it earlier..."

"Aunt, what's wrong?" Ge Yuanhui asked.

Concubine Ge sighed angrily, "Today was all set up by Xue Zhiyi from the beginning to the end! Do you think Tu Lanying came to instigate you for no reason? She is leading you into the game, and her purpose is to harm you and the Ge family together with Xue Zhiyi!"

"What?!" Ge Yuanhui's mouth opened in disbelief: "Aunt, are you sure?"

"It can't be wrong!"

Concubine Ge couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. "Xue Zhiyi could have planned Xiangrui's matter a long time ago. I should have realized it at that time...Tu Lanying and Xue Zhiyi are just at odds on the surface, but they are actually in cahoots with each other behind the scenes!"

"But...but isn't the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple my cousin's man?!" Ge Yuanhui asked.

Concubine Ge's mind was already in a mess. She said, "What do you know? The affairs of the court are all true and false. People gather for profit today and they can disperse for profit tomorrow!"

Suddenly, she was stunned... Chong'er seemed to have said that he had some leverage over Prince Cheng and wanted to work with the Dali Temple Minister to deal with Prince Cheng.

Now that Xue Zhiyi has just entered the palace, he can get in touch with Tu Lanying. I'm afraid that... Tu Yuxian is a man who is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han! So this time, the plan is probably...

Concubine Ge gasped: "Tu Yuxian wants to harm my Chong'er!"

As she spoke, she no longer cared about Ge Yuanhui and hurriedly called out, "Yunshuang! Let Prince Gong come to see me! Hurry!"

……

Gu Shichong was still thinking about what Xue Zhiyi had just said when he was hurriedly invited by people from Cuiwei Palace, who said that his mother had an urgent matter and was almost going crazy.

When he rushed to Cuiwei Palace, Ge Yuanhui was not in the hall. Only Concubine Ge was pacing back and forth restlessly.

"Concubine, what's wrong?"

Concubine Ge just raised her hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall understood and retreated.

"Chong'er, there's something wrong with Tu Yuxian!"

Hearing this, Gu Shichong's eyebrows jumped.

Just today, when he just entered the palace, his mother told him to make use of Tu Yuxian but also to be careful.

It was just when he proposed to select people from the Tu family to work in the Ministry of Revenue.

But somehow, after the banquet, his mother became so excited and confident.

He asked, "Does mother think there is something wrong with Tu Yuxian?"

Concubine Ge was filled with anxiety and told him everything that Ge Yuanhui had experienced that day.

But Gu Shichong's brows furrowed even more, and he looked hesitant: "My mother means that Xue Zhiyi and Tu Lanying teamed up to harm Yuan Hui and the Ge family, so she suspects Tu Yuxian of being unfaithful to me?"

Concubine Ge nodded eagerly: "This matter is already very obvious. I'm afraid that the so-called handle on Prince Cheng in Tu Yuxian's hand is actually a trap!"

But after hearing what Concubine Ge said, Gu Shichong saw a different fact.

First of all, Yuan Hui’s misfortune today was actually quite accidental, and not every step was something Xue Zhiyi could have anticipated.

Furthermore, the Ge family hopes to send their own people to the Ministry of Revenue, so naturally they hope that he will be suspicious of the Tu family.

The last and most important reason is -

"Mother, don't worry. I am confident in Tu Yuxian because I hold the key to his life or death. He dare not betray his master, and there is no need for him to surrender to Gu Shimin."

Not only that, Gu Shichong also thought of Xue Zhiyi's words: Be careful of the people around you.

What does “people around you” mean?

Could this include... the Ge family?
