Chapter 58 The Disappearing Letter

Since Gu Yunshuang knew that Ning Zimu was going to rebel, the rebels would naturally not get any benefits. As soon as the rebels arrived at the gate of the palace, they were stopped by Gu Lin's soldiers and started a fight.The Gu family army was well-trained and had an advantage in numbers. In addition, the imperial guards came from behind, and the two armies attacked back and forth. The rebel army was defeated miserably.

When the sky was slightly bright, a rebellion had ended, and even the bloodstains at the gate of the palace had been cleaned up, leaving only a little smell of blood floating in the air.When the sun shines, even this little smell disappears, and nothing seems to have happened.

In the early morning of the next day, Ning Zihan sent all the ministers back. This time the rebellion came suddenly, and the princes and ministers thought it might be a protracted war. Unexpectedly, the emperor's tricks were thunderous, and it turned out overnight. That solved the matter.However, what was even more unexpected was that the rebel turned out to be the Fourth Prince.The fourth prince, mother and concubine died early, and had no one to rely on since childhood, so all the ministers thought that this person had no wolf ambition to win the throne, but just wanted to be an idle prince.Unexpectedly, the person who had the least opportunity and ambition to rebel would become the one who did it.

Ning Zimu was not thrown into the sky prison immediately, but locked in the Jueqing Pavilion, guarded by heavy soldiers, which was what Ning Zihan meant.

So, the next day Ning Zihan personally went to the Jueqing Pavilion to "see" Ning Zimu.

Seeing Ning Zihan coming in, Ning Zimu didn't show any surprise, obviously he knew what was going to happen next.

Without waiting for Ning Zihan to open his mouth, Ning Zimu said directly, "After the Purple Clothes Sect was exterminated, the remaining followers were organized by my grandfather. The Purple Clothes Sect members have been listening to my orders since five years ago. I ordered Concubine Ying to come in." The palace, as well as everyone involved in the poisoning incidents, were ordered by me."

Ning Zihan didn't speak, obviously waiting for Ning Zimu to explain everything clearly.

Ning Zimu continued, "I just didn't expect that Feng Xin and Ling'er would betray the entire Ziyi Sect, and the order of freedom in her hand would prevent me from killing them. I think she should have told you about the rebellion." Yes."

Ning Zihan nodded, as an admission, and signaled Ning Zimu to continue.

Ning Zimu's eyes began to show unstoppable hatred, "Do you know why this is all? This is all the sin of your mother! Your mother killed my mother! .Grandpa only has such a daughter, and I only have such a mother. How can we not hate you. You are better than me in everything since you were young, you have a better background than me, and your talent is higher than me. How can I not be jealous? "

"So you came to kill my mother, my queen?"

"Because I want you to taste what it's like to lose your beloved."

Ning Zihan stood up and stared at Ning Zimu closely, "Unfortunately, you lost."

Just as Ning Zihan turned to leave, Ning Zimu stopped him, "Do you know when I first met the queen?"

Ning Zihan didn't speak, and Ning Zimu continued, "Four years ago, I sent someone to kill the owner of Hongjian Mountain Villa with Ruxin Gu and Huaxin San. You should know that he and the owner of the villa are friends, so he So I came to chase after my hidden guards, and I was among them that time. The empress master is from a famous family, and she also has the famous Jian Yunshuang sword in her hand. If I hadn't used tricks, I might really be no match for him."

With a wry smile, Ning Zimu continued, "I remember that night, the moon was very bright, and he was dressed in white clothes, just like last night." Ning Zimu lowered his head, and the bitterness in his eyes overflowed, "Then One night, it became the night when the two of you met. For me, what I can’t get will be destroyed, and it will be destroyed when he is most radiant! It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill him at that time. Now But he was personally sent to the guillotine, is this the so-called providence?"

Ning Zi smiled coldly, "If you can't get it, it will never be yours. Fourth brother, why bother you."

Ning Zimu looked up to the sky and smiled, but tears slowly overflowed, "Hate has been with me all my life, and now, it should be big. Fifth brother, let fourth brother have a good time."

Ning Zihan walked out without saying a word, and then, An Xi came in with poisoned wine.Half an hour later, Ning Zihan and Gu Yunshuang were playing chess in the back hall of Weiyang Palace. When the last chess piece fell, the eunuch outside reported that the third prince had gone.

"Ling'er's letter came at the right time." Gu Yunshuang said.

Ning Zihan nodded, but this letter was forged by himself. This rebellion happened in his previous life, so how could he not know about it? Of course, he will never tell anyone this secret. Yes, it's just that the origin of Ning Zimu and Ziyi Sect is something he never knew in his previous life.

And the episode about Gu Yunshuang and Ning Zimu will also be buried in the coffin forever with Ning Zimu's departure.

Regarding the entanglement between Ning Zimu and the Ziyi Sect, Gu Yunshuang was also very shocked, but the source of all this, these palace struggles also made Gu Yunshuang feel terrified.

Seeing Gu Yunshuang's sad expression, Ning Zihan said, "Don't worry, such a struggle will never happen to you."

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was Little Yi'er's full moon banquet. Gu Yunshuang didn't like extravagance, and thought it would be nice for the family to have a meal together, but Ning Zihan didn't. Naturally, the whole world should celebrate such a big day.

There was a grand banquet, and officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital and their families were allowed to enter. Ning Zihan ordered the Ministry of Rites to let the largest opera troupe in the capital, Tong Qing opera troupe, sing operas for a whole afternoon. It was really lively.

Among them was a little girl who caught Gu Yunshuang's attention. Although she was wearing heavy makeup for singing, her figure and voice would not change much. Gu Yunshuang turned her head to look at Ning Zihan, obviously Ning Zihan also noticed this. , this voice, this figure, is no different from Ling'er.When the little girl's eyes looked this way, Ning Zihan and Gu Yunshuang could almost conclude that this was Ling'er.

After the play was over, Ning Zihan quietly asked Anxi to call the little girl, and Anxi immediately agreed after hearing this.In less than a stick of incense, the little girl took off her makeup and came over.

The little girl ran up to the two of them and called out sweetly, "Brother Emperor, Brother Empress."

Ning Zihan and Gu Yunshuang were naturally very happy to see that it was really Ling'er. Gu Yunshuang quickly asked, "Ling'er, why did you come to the capital? Didn't you return to the Ziyi Sect?"

Ling'er looked around and found that there were too many people around, so she could only quietly lie in Gu Yunshuang's ear and said, "Brother Queen, let's talk about it later when we get to your palace."

Gu Yunshuang nodded, looked at the babbling drama on the stage, and shook his head, he never liked these things, if it wasn't for the full moon for Yi'er this time, he really didn't want to come to the drama.Being able to see Ling'er here this time finally gave him some comfort for his behavior of wronging him this time.Anyway, I have already appeared, so it doesn't matter if I leave now.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunshuang turned her head and whispered to Ning Zihan, "Your Majesty, I'm going back first."

Ning Zihan also knew that Gu Yunshuang didn't like these things, so he naturally agreed.

Gu Yunshuang turned her head again to signal to the Queen Mother, then got up and left.

The theater troupe must have started preparing for the performance for the palace early in the morning, and the actors must have been busy since the morning.Gu Yunshuang thought that Ling'er must not have eaten, so as soon as she returned to Weiyang Palace, Gu Yunshuang asked someone to bring out fruit snacks for Ling'er.

Ling'er was really hungry, her eyes widened when she saw the food, Gu Yunshuang looked at her with a funny face, stroked Ling'er's black hair and said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll ask someone to write to you again." meals."

Ling'er nodded, and began to work hard, saying that it was delicious while eating.

It was already half an hour after Ling'er finished working on her stomach.Seeing her swallow the last mouthful of soup, Gu Yunshuang asked, "Ling'er, why did you return to the capital? Didn't you go to southern Xinjiang with your sister?"

Ling'er said, "After my sister and I returned to southern Xinjiang, the patriarch originally wanted to execute us, but my sister has the Order of Freedom, so the patriarch can't do anything to us. But the patriarch refused to listen to us and surrender to the court. , he also put his sister under house arrest."

Gu Yunshuang frowned, but did not interrupt Ling'er.

Ling'er continued, "One day I accidentally came to the forbidden area of ​​the clan, and heard the clan leader talking to someone. I was afraid that the clan would do something that was not good for you, so I quietly listened on the door, vaguely Yue heard someone say that the fourth prince was going to rebel or something, and was almost discovered later, so I didn't hear clearly. After I went back, I told my sister about it. My sister was shocked when she heard it, but she couldn't get out by herself. After careful consideration, he told me to secretly follow the caravan to the capital. Fortunately, there was an elder brother who knew me very well in the caravan, and he brought me to the capital. That day I overheard someone saying that the palace was going to do it for the little prince. During the full moon banquet, theatrical troupe will be invited to sing, and I inquired about the number of opera troupes in the capital with the largest troupe in the Qing Dynasty, so I begged the person in charge to let me join the troupe."

Gu Yunshuang nodded, "Thanks to you, the Fourth Prince's rebellion has been dealt with."

Hearing this, Ling'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Brother Queen, this is the first time we met, and I never told anyone about it."

Gu Yunshuang opened his eyes wide, "The emperor said that you got the news from the letter sent by Feige."

Ling'er frowned, "I don't even know many words, how can I write a letter. Could it be my sister's letter to the emperor."

Just after saying this sentence, Ling'er denied herself again, "But my sister can't come out, and there is no pen and paper in the room where my sister is under house arrest, so how can she write letters?"

——It seems that you, the emperor, already knew about this matter?Then why not expose it early, but wait until now.If it had been earlier, Wang Zhi would not have led the army astray, causing the entire Ming City to fall, and so many people had been killed; bitter.

——Your Majesty, after all, you don’t believe me.
