MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 382 Concealing things (Xiaoxiang ticket will be updated)

 Chapter 382: Concealing Things (Updated by Xiaoxiang Ticket)

Although Mrs. Xing also understands her past relationship with Mr. Gu, there are some things that only she and Mrs. Gu know. Therefore, Mrs. Gu leaving like this is equivalent to taking away all her thoughts.

 Suddenly, seeing everything become a thing of the past, how can you not feel sad?

 So the pain in her heart was no less than that of Gu Shaoyu! He still had a chance to go to the funeral, but he couldn't even leave the palace, let alone go south.

Thinking of this, Queen Guo cried loudly until her eyes were red and swollen, then she stopped. Then she wiped her tears and returned to her appearance as the empress of the Sixth Palace.

 The dignity of the whole person is still there, but inside it is empty.

Guo Xiang felt distressed after seeing this, but there was nothing he could do to help his daughter recover. He only hoped that time would be a good medicine and soothe the pain in her heart, just like when the news came that all the Gu family members had died in the war, she I also cried with such grief once.

 After that, isn’t it still good?

Poor Prime Minister Guo can see everyone in the court accurately, but he only doesn't know his own daughter very well.

I thought she would be able to recover as before, but I didn’t know that some people were injured, and if they fell together, it would become the last straw that broke their backs. It seemed ridiculously light to outsiders, but to that person it was as heavy as a mountain.

At this moment, she was still immersed in the pain of Mrs. Gu's departure. Although there were no tears, her eyes were very empty.

"Mother, don't be sad. Sooner or later this person will get old. When Mrs. Gu was alive, she enjoyed all kinds of wealth. Although she had some unpleasant experiences, she also saw her great-grandson when she left. When we were born, I know that the Gu family will be fine in the future and I will have no regrets, so you should be more tolerant."

Hearing this, Queen Guo also sighed, her eyes were astringent but she said meaningfully.

“What my father said is that sooner or later you will have to go through this. It doesn’t necessarily happen when you are old. It happens to individuals.”

 When she said this, there was a desperate calmness in her whole body.

Prime Minister Guo didn't know how to describe it. It was as if he was just a body and a daughter without a soul. Then he took a few steps closer and asked in a lowered voice.

“What is the queen hiding from us?”

"Father, you are too worried. What can I hide from you?"

Empress Guo obviously didn’t want to say that the plan had reached this stage only as a last-minute matter. When the emperor died was not decided by the Prince of Hell, but by her, the “person next to her”.

 But since she had already arranged such matters, there was no need to use the strength of her family, so she did not intend to tell Guo Xiang.

Seeing this, Guo Xiang became more and more sure of what he was thinking. The Queen must be hiding something from them, and then he spoke in a more serious tone.

"Empress, now that Shao Yu is not in the city, the Tiger Guard Army is leaderless. Although he explained everything when he left, it is hard to say that anything will go wrong. The Fourth Prince and his group are watching eagerly. They must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so the Tiger Guard Army Those people who went to Jinling City also gave Shao Yu a guarantee that if anything really goes wrong, the prince will have a place to make a comeback in the future."

It had only been a few decades since the founding of the Daxing Dynasty, and Prime Minister Guo had experienced the whole process, so he had no deep-rooted thoughts about Sui'an City as a place to stay.

For this water expert, the thorough investigation of the sea and canal transportation taxation is just an excuse. What is more important is to let Gu Shaoyu establish a foothold in Jinling City. If anything goes wrong, they only need to go south.

In his heart, he felt that Jinling City was much better than Sui'an City. It wouldn't be a big deal if Nodu established a new king. Anyway, in these troubled times, everything can be done, right?

 But after he expressed his true thoughts in such a relaxed manner, Queen Guo did not take it seriously. "Don't worry, father. You don't have to make so many excuses. Once the prince ascends the throne, everything will fall into place."

 "Ascending the throne? What does the empress mean..."

"Your Majesty has taken a lot of pills these days, and he is not afraid to let his father know that he used to be a man of great strength, but now he is already in his twilight years. Speaking of it, he is not even half as energetic as his father. People outside are speculating. Your Majesty's health is not in good condition. It's not that it's bad, it's just that there's absolutely no room for improvement. It's just a matter of time, so please take it easy in advance. There's really no need to rush at this moment."

 The calmness and determination in her tone made Guo Xiang feel uneasy.

Is it possible that the emperor, in such a situation, would have his own daughter’s handiwork?

He followed the founder of the emperor and established the dynasty, and had never seen anything, so he didn't think regicide was a terrible thing. It was just that there were too many things to plan, and even the slightest mistake could lead to the incident. Try to do everything possible All in vain.

 That's why he felt a little scared.

 With such a relationship like theirs, they haven't discovered the Queen's behavior yet, let alone other people. Therefore, thinking about it, I started to feel horrified.

 The father and daughter looked at each other, unable to say a lot.

  Prime Minister Guo will not be easily taken advantage of, and the Queen, who inherited Prime Minister Guo's cautious temperament, will naturally be the same.

 So although she did not tell her father the plan like she told Mrs. Gu, she still asked as a reminder.

"I feel that now is the right time. If Your Majesty has both good and bad things, the prince can successfully ascend the throne. Why bother to think about the things that are not there anymore? Let Shao Yu mourn the old lady with peace of mind. As for the rest of you The plan can be postponed, as it may not be used yet."

 “Have you completely grasped it?”

Upon hearing this, Queen Guo nodded calmly, as if what they were discussing was not the emperor's life, but an ordinary trivial matter.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Guo didn't know how to express his position. After a moment of silence, he spoke to Queen Guo.

"What the empress said is not unreasonable, but Shao Yu's trip south this time is also a rare opportunity. Although the old minister had other plans before, he did have his intention to rectify taxation, so if you have a way, just delay it for a while. Come on, these 50,000 tiger soldiers and Shao Yu can also clear more obstacles for the prince to ascend the throne."

Hearing this, Queen Guo reluctantly agreed.

If the emperor wants to wake up, it is not difficult. He only needs to stop taking the elixir for a few days, or add something refreshing to the elixir.

 And for all this, the Seventh Prince's family is naturally responsible for taking the blame.
