Sick beauty crying bag does not want to be the villain

After Song Qianyuan left, Gu Rong pondered carefully.

He suddenly thought, if the world he lives in is a storybook, then should he find clues from the storybook for what will happen?

Gu Rong suddenly realized that his thoughts were right, and he began to reorganize the plot of the script.

The plot of the story revolves around the current prince, and there is another protagonist named Shen Li.

Gu Rong recalled the appearance of Shen Li he saw in the Qinxue Hall.

When Gu Rong didn't have a system, he had already had contact with Shen Li in the Hall of Qin Xue, but Gu Rong didn't have a deep impression of him at that time.

Although he has a good face, he is indeed talented and is often praised by the Taifu.But because his father was the deputy prime minister, he was able to keep a low profile in the Hall of Qin Xue, being kind to his classmates, and never competitive.At that time, the relationship between Gu Rong and Gu Zhiyu was not good, and Gu Zhiyu would often joke about Gu Rong with some of his like-minded colleagues, but Shen Li never participated in this kind of time.

So Gu Rong actually didn't have much contact with him.

But Gu Rong always felt that Shen Li at that time was more in line with the protagonist image in the storybook.

On the contrary, the Shen Li he saw when he returned to Qinzheng Hall after Gu Rong recovered from his illness was even more strange.

He remembered that at that time, Song Qianyuan also revealed that Shen Li's article was plagiarized.

copied...

Gu Rong thought about it, if Shen Li really learned from others, as described in the script, would it be necessary for him to copy other people's articles?

If Song Qianyuan hadn't exposed Shen Li at that time, the crown prince would have appreciated him very much because of his talent...

Wait, so what is the current relationship between the crown prince and Shen Li?

Could it be because Song Qianyuan exposed Shen Li that the relationship between the crown prince and Shen Li did not continue to develop as in the story...

Gu Rong was lost in thought.

After a while, he called, "System?"

The system does not answer.

Ever since Gu Rong fell into the water that day and the system told him that the mission was completed, it has never appeared again. It is unknown whether it was broken, or because the mission was completed, it disappeared in Gu Rong's mind.

If the system can't ask, you can only check it yourself.

Song Qianyuan couldn't be dispatched any more, and Gu Rong looked out the window when he was free, but he couldn't see that familiar figure anymore. To be honest, he was really not used to it.

Fortunately, when Gu Zhengchu left, he left a few people for Gu Rong. Those people were available, so Gu Rong asked them to inquire.

The next day, those who were sent by Gu Rong to inquire about the news came back and said that Shen Li had not had much contact with the prince recently, but there were rumors that the prince and Shen Li had a quarrel in the palace.

Gu Rong asked when exactly, and the inquirer replied that it was before Gu Rong and Song Qianyuan were called into the palace by the emperor.

This point in time, combined with the known information, really makes people feel subtle.

Shen Li is very suspicious.

However, before Gu Rongtang understood Shen Li's matter, the emperor's birthday was approaching.

Gu Rong was among those invited.

At this moment, the imperial city is full of undercurrents, and everything is not peaceful. If it was in the past, Gu Rong would definitely be sick.

But he always felt that something was going to happen that day.

The official uniforms of the Great Ning Dynasty were uniformly blue, while the standard uniforms of the Marquis were uniformly red. Wearing them on Gu Rong's body made his complexion whiter.

After changing his clothes, Yuan Sheng put a thick cloak on Gu Rong's shoulders as usual, and said worriedly: "Master, even if those people don't come anymore, Yuan Sheng is still very worried, if they are really the prince The person sent here, the prince cannot be absent at the palace banquet today, will something happen?"

Gu Rongdao: "I'm afraid the prince will be more worried about these things today."

Yuan Sheng was taken aback.

Because entering the palace to attend the banquet, as usual, you can only bring one servant to serve you, Yuan Sheng can't follow, and instead, the new nurse next to Gu Rong, a martial artist Gu Zhengchu specially stayed to protect Gu Rong, his name is Zhao Ming.

Yuan Sheng was quite worried about this, although Gu Zhengchu's arrangement was correct, but these people Yuan Sheng always felt that they were not as reliable as Song Qianyuan.

It was Gu Rong who comforted Yuan Sheng instead: "There are many guards in the palace, and the emperor is in front of him again, nothing will happen, don't worry."

Only then did Yuan Sheng force himself to relax, and followed Gu Rong into the palace.

After reaching the gate of the palace, Gu Rong got off the carriage as usual, walked all the way into the palace, and arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The eunuch welcoming guests outside the hall welcomed Gu Rong into the hall respectfully.

Yuan Sheng has already gone to the side hall to wait, and Zhao Ming is following Gu Rong.

The eunuch led Gu Rong to his seat, and said, "Little Gu Guogong, please sit down."

Gu Rong looked around, this position was a bit too forward for Gu Rong's identity.

He used to sit in the junior seat, far away from the emperor's seat, but now he has moved to the official seat, closer to the emperor's seat.

But now Gu Rong felt that they were too close. The positions were arranged according to official position, title, and closeness to the emperor. Under Gu Rong, the Marquis of Anyang, who was in his 50s, was sitting next to him. Is this reasonable?

The seats of the palace banquet are all arranged in advance, the eunuch who guides the way is only responsible for bringing the guests to the seat where they should sit, and there are so many eyes watching at the palace banquet, it is unlikely to make mistakes, Gu Rongneng is guided by the eunuch Bringing it to this place can only show that this is what the emperor meant.

Looks like something really is going to happen today.

Sitting in the banquet hall and waiting for a while, other people arrived one after another, and the emperor came soon.

Everyone shouted long live three times and saluted, and the emperor said first: "My dear friends, please rise up."

Everyone got up and returned to their seats, and the banquet began.

Gu Rong looked up.

Today the empress also came, and even the empress dowager, who had not shown her face for a long time, rarely appeared, sitting on the left side of the emperor.

This posture, as if the emperor has something to announce.

Although today is the emperor's birthday banquet, the emperor's birthday banquet was never held in previous years, and this year coincided with the famine in Beiling, so everything was kept simple.

For this kind of palace banquet, the emperor simply invited the officials. According to the etiquette system, the queen mother did not need to appear. If the queen mother appeared, it would seem a bit too formal.

Sure enough, there are still many people who have the same doubts as Gu Rong. Not long after the palace banquet started, King Changnan couldn't hold back, got up from his seat and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The emperor put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, and made a "please" gesture: "Uncle, please speak."

King Changnan is the younger brother of the former emperor and the elder of the emperor. He stroked his long beard and said: "I heard that the emperor called a guard from Duke Gu Xiaoguo's residence to enter the palace some time ago. The court actually boasted that he was the son of the late Concubine Xiao Gui, playing tricks on the emperor, dare to ask the emperor, is there anything wrong?"

After all, King Changnan is the emperor's uncle, and he is very old, so his words are not very polite at this time. Gu Rong guessed that he was instructed by someone, or represented the interests of a certain force in the palace, deliberately secretly He pointed out that Song Qianyuan had ulterior motives and directly opened up this topic in front of everyone.

Regarding Song Qianyuan's matter, the emperor had only secretly released the rumors before.

After all, it is not so easy to settle the matter of the prince's recognition of his ancestors. First of all, the emperor must have conclusive evidence to prove that Song Qianyuan is indeed Xiao Guifei's son. Secondly, this matter needs to be approved by most people inside and outside the court. Finally, this matter must be announced to the world.

This is an extremely long process, which will also generate a lot of resistance.

Gu Rong tried to guess the emperor's current thoughts.

It is impossible for him to confirm Song Qianyuan's identity just by Rufei's crazy words, there must be something in it that can convince the emperor of Song Qianyuan's identity.

It is not difficult to provide evidence, as long as Song Qianyuan carries a royal token with him, or has some special mark on his body, he can show it to the emperor.

But even so, the emperor still needs a slow time to accept, otherwise he went from doubting to verifying, and finally determined to recognize Song Qianyuan, and it took only a few days in between?

The time is too short and unreasonable.

Could it be that the emperor didn't confirm Song Qianyuan's identity at all, but just wanted to make use of it through today's palace banquet?

Combined with where he was sitting at the palace banquet today, the more Gu Rong thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

It was the empress who poisoned concubine Xiao Gui back then. As long as the empress admits this in front of the emperor, the possibility of Song Qianyuan being the prince will be greatly increased.

Therefore, the emperor deliberately invited the queen mother here today, so that people such as Changnan King thought that the emperor wanted to discuss with everyone about Song Qianyuan's life experience through the birthday banquet today, and even released the news in advance to make everyone think that he was about to die. To recognize Song Qianyuan, someone will have an idea at that time, as long as the emperor takes this opportunity to expand the topic, this old case will be successfully opened in front of everyone today.

So the emperor actually thought this way?

So who will benefit today?

Certainly not the Queen.

Gu Rong looked up, and the face of the empress sitting on the right side of the emperor had already started to turn pale.

Obviously she didn't expect this level at first, but now she has gradually realized it.

Don't know how she will respond.

Could this be part of Shen Li's plan?

The various relationships in the palace are really too intricate, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Even if the case is opened in front of everyone, and there is evidence to prove that it was the queen who did it, so what?

This is still not good for Song Qianyuan.

It is impossible for the emperor to decree to abolish the queen, at most a small punishment and a big punishment.

Then what?Make Song Qianyuan the prince?

Seeing how eagerly King Changnan jumped out to oppose him, he also knew that the road was bound to be bumpy.

The power of the prince and empress is everywhere in this palace. Song Qianyuan's identity has already threatened the status of the prince. His situation in the palace is bound to be very difficult in the future.

After much deliberation, for Song Qianyuan, the only way to seize the throne through the King of Peking is the safest way.

However, according to Song Qianyuan's intelligence, he should know the pros and cons, so why did he directly reveal his identity in front of the emperor before?

Is it just to completely remove Gu Rong from this matter?

If Song Qianyuan didn't say a word, entered the king's camp in Beiping and started a rebellion, the future emperor would investigate, and Gu Guogong's mansion had hidden imperial criminals privately, and he would hardly be able to absolve himself of the blame.

But it would be different if the emperor knew Song Qianyuan's identity first. The emperor would feel guilty about Song Qianyuan preconceivedly, and Gu Guogong's mansion once took Song Qianyuan in when he was in trouble, and it was meritorious.

Gu Rong didn't want to watch this scene anymore.

Since the emperor has set up the stage, it shows that he has full confidence.

Maybe he didn't really take advantage of today's opportunity to attack the queen because he felt sorry for Song Qianyuan, or there might be other political factors that Gu Rong didn't know about.

Gu Rong didn't want to stay in the hall anymore, he reached out his hand to support his forehead, and whispered to Zhao Ming behind him that he had a headache.

Zhao Ming hurriedly turned around and called the eunuch who was serving at the side, telling him that Gu Rong needed to rest.

The eunuch hesitated again and again, and persuaded Zhaoming in a low voice: "Little Gu Guogong might as well stay a little longer, the emperor may have to ask questions later."

Gu Rong said from the side: "The Gu family has always been loyal to the emperor. The emperor knows it. Right now, I just want to go to the side hall to rest for a while. If the emperor really has questions, it won't be too late for my father-in-law to go to the side hall to find me."

After Gu Rong said that, the eunuch naturally didn't dare to stop him, and bowed to lead Gu Rong out of the hall.
