After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 155 She is really bold, she is not afraid of hurting 5

Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if there was something he didn't dare to say.

Gu Yunling immediately said, "It's already this late, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Jiang Xiyu also knew the seriousness of the matter, but she did not dare to hide it, mainly because she trusted Gu Yunling more.

"She must have concealed it from the Emperor and returned to find the King of Qin."

Gu Yunling fell silent for a moment, her face looking rather grim. After a long pause she managed to utter, "She's really bold. She's not afraid of hurting Fifteen."

Seeing that Gu Yunling was not surprised, Jiang Xiyu guessed that she must know that the imperial concubine loved Gulin.

It is estimated that not only Gu Yunling knew it, but Gu Wei should also know it, so when facing the imperial concubine, he showed favor on the surface, but there was always a sarcastic tone in his words.

Gu Yunling thought of something and said nervously, "She had an argument with Fifteen. Did she get jealous because she saw you and Fifteen together?"

Jiang Xiyu nodded, then shook her head.

Seeing Gu Yunling's puzzled look, Jiang Xiyu explained, "The imperial concubine knew about my existence and became jealous, so she started arguing with the King of Qin. But I was hiding behind a tree, and the King of Qin stopped her. She didn't see my appearance and didn't know it was me."

Jiang Xiyu didn't explain it too clearly. After all, she didn't want people to know that she and Gulin had such intimate actions.

It wasn't what she wanted, she was really forced to do so at the time.

Gu Yunling didn't delve into it. When she heard that the imperial concubine didn't know it was Jiang Xiyu, she breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right now. Luckily you knew to go to the middle. If you had gone out at that time, she would have most likely spotted you."

Jiang Xiyu took a deep breath and said, "It was the King of Qin who reminded me."

She was really confused at that time.

Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu meaningfully.

It seems that her guess was right. Gulin likes Jiang Xiyu, and he cares about her very much.

Gu Yunling patted Jiang Xiyu's hand soothingly, "It's okay, don't worry. As long as the imperial concubine doesn't know who you are, she won't be able to find you even if she's jealous or crazy."

Jiang Xiyu nodded silently. At this moment, the situation had been resolved and she had calmed down.

Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu and suddenly explained for Gulin.

"In fact, there is really nothing between Fifteen and the Imperial Concubine. Duke Dingguo once helped the Emperor's grandfather conquer the world and had military merits. The Imperial Concubine was also raised by the Emperor's grandfather. The Emperor's grandfather thought that the Imperial Concubine was beautiful and looked well-behaved. She was also the legitimate granddaughter of Duke Dingguo, so he wanted to marry her to Fifteen.

But Fifteen was aloof and aloof, not interested in women, and plagued by a cold poison, he likely had never considered a lifelong commitment, so he declined the Emperor's proposal. It happened that Gu Wei had taken a liking to the Imperial Concubine and approached the Emperor's grandfather to ask for her hand in marriage. The Emperor's grandfather summoned Duke Dingguo to inquire, and he, compared to Fifteen, was more optimistic about the late Emperor and held great promise in marrying her to the late Emperor's son. So when the Emperor's grandfather approached Duke Dingguo, he readily agreed. And so, the Imperial Concubine became Gu Wei's princess consort.

Gu Yunling’s explanation is similar to what Gulin said in the peach forest.

Gu Yunling suddenly thought of something, and a look of regret appeared in his eyes.

"If Your Majesty hadn't had the brains to marry the Imperial Concubine, allowing him to stand out among the late emperor's many sons, and even used the influence of Duke Dingguo to help the late emperor win the throne, leaving a deep impression on the late emperor, Your Majesty would have obtained the throne even though he was not the eldest son. If he had married the Imperial Concubine at the age of fifteen, the throne would have been his by now.

Jiang Xiyu Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows without comment.

Back then, Duke Dingguo had the merit of following the emperor, and with the support of Duke Dingguo's Mansion on Gulin, he might really be able to sit on the throne.

When talking about what happened back then, Gu Yunling's face was full of dejection.

"Back then, the only person Grandfather couldn't let go of was Fifteen. He had been suffering from a cold poison since childhood. If he were just an ordinary person, Grandfather would probably have just treated him as another incompetent prince. But, not only was he good-looking, he was also able to ask questions at the age of three, practice martial arts at the age of four, and was familiar with the art of war at the age of five. He even knew how to arrange troops and battle formations. He was as outstanding as the sun in the sky. Grandfather couldn't help but notice him. Plus, he was the youngest son Grandfather had in his old age, so how could he not love him?"

After listening to Gu Yunling's words, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but think of what others had said about Gulin's past.

It is said that Gulin joined the army at the age of twelve, and led troops to fight at the age of fourteen, driving out the Dongyi and fighting in the north, winning many battles.

At that time, it was the King of Qin who took over the northeastern border, and it was Jiang Kun who guarded the southwestern border. She had always heard Jiang Kun mention Gulin's achievements, and even though she was very young at the time, she was deeply impressed by Gulin.

"As much as my royal grandfather loved my father, he later loved Fifteen just as much. He always said that Fifteen was my father's reincarnation. Unfortunately, Fifteen was born with a cold poison, and his battles only exacerbated the poison. The imperial doctors all said that Fifteen would not live past thirty. When my royal grandfather wanted to make Fifteen the crown prince, the ministers used Fifteen's cold poison to dissuade him. In the end, after careful consideration, my royal grandfather chose the late emperor."

When talking about these things, Gu Yunling felt somewhat unwilling.

It turns out that the one with the best chance of sitting on the throne of Yun Dynasty is her father.

Her father was the eldest son and the legitimate heir, and was also deeply loved by the emperor's grandfather. If he had not died young, how could it be the turn of the later generations to compete for the throne?

Thinking of his father, Gu Yunling felt sad again.

Jiang Xiyu frowned, "How did the King of Qin get infected with the cold poison?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yunling could only shake his head.

"At that time, Fifteen's mother was Concubine Ying, who died giving birth to Fifteen. Fifteen was diagnosed with a cold poison right after birth. Some say the poison was injected directly into Concubine Ying's body, which is why she died right after giving birth. Others say the poison was injected into Fifteen, and Concubine Ying died of a difficult labor. At the time, the Emperor's grandfather also sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly, but they found nothing."

So until now no one can explain clearly how Gulin was infected with the cold poison.

Gu Yunling thought of something and continued, "But when the Imperial Grandmother learned that your mother was a doctor, she asked your mother to diagnose Fifteen. Your mother once told me that the cold poison Fifteen was infected with didn't come from Yun Dynasty, but from Western Xinjiang. At that time, the Imperial Grandfather and the Imperial Grandmother speculated that a spy from Western Xinjiang might have infiltrated our Yun Dynasty palace and poisoned Concubine Ying or Fifteen directly. I remember that the Imperial Grandfather even conducted a thorough investigation of the entire palace. Many people in the palace were convicted, but the real spy from Western Xinjiang was never found."

Jiang Xiyu has no memory of this incident. Perhaps she was too young at the time, or perhaps she was not even born at the time.

"Did my mother ever ask if she could help King Qin detoxify?"
