Elope?

Although Wang Yongzhu had some guesses in his heart, he was also stunned by the news thrown by Gao.

Gao's expression was slightly cold, and there was obvious disdain in his tone: "Yes, no one thought that the pearl of the noble girls, the future princess of the inner family, and the next mother of the country, actually eloped with a reckless man on the grassland!" It's a shame for the court! ”

Wang Yongzhu swallowed his saliva and didn't speak.

"Naturally, this matter can't be made public, so Qi Le died of illness, and the chamberlains and maids in the palace who knew the inside story were all executed except for the queen mother and a few henchmen around the first emperor."

Gao remembered that in those days, there was a lingering bloody smell in the palace, hundreds of people died because of this incident, and the corpses dragged out of the palace every night were thrown in the mass grave one by one, and the crows that covered the sky and the sun gathered in the mass grave......

I couldn't help but shudder.

"What happened to the death of the third prince?" Wang Yongzhu thought for a while and asked.

"The Third Prince......" Gao was silent for a moment before sighing: "He is infatuated, Qi Le used him to elope with the Great Prince of the Prairie successfully." When the third prince learned the truth of the matter, he was devastated, vomited blood on the spot, and couldn't afford to be sick when he returned home——"

Wang Yongzhu understood.

"Didn't the first emperor send someone to chase Qi Le and the great prince of the grassland? Just let them escape? Wang Yongzhu didn't believe it, with what Qi Le and that grassland prince did, it was simply a slap in the face of the former emperor and the imperial court, how could they let them leave the territory of Great Chu so easily?

Gao said lightly: "The first emperor was furious, and first sent people to surround the residence of the grassland mission, only to know that the main members of the grassland mission had left the capital unknowingly. The rest are inconsequential cannon fodder! ”

"As for how to hunt down the grassland envoys later, that is a matter of the previous dynasty, and my mother and I don't know the depths of it."

"It's just that I heard in a trance that it seems that the pursuit operation is very difficult, and a lot of manpower has been lost. I don't know why, I still let Qi Le and the great prince of the grassland escape. ”

Wang Yongzhu strung together the news that the Gao family said in his heart, sorted out the clue, and then asked puzzledly: "Since Qi Le eloped with the prince of the grassland, and indirectly caused the death of the third prince, why was the Qi family raided a year later?" What's not going to happen here? ”

The Gao family also showed a confused look: "It stands to reason that such a scandal happened, although the royal family will not make a move against the Qi family for the time being for the sake of face." can be the character of the first emperor, he will definitely not let go of the Qi family, and when the matter calms down a little, it will definitely make the Qi family pay the price. ”

But after the incident of Qi Le, the first emperor did not anger the Qi family, but urgently summoned the Qi scholars back and entrusted them with important tasks. Until a year later—"

Gao recalled that day, it was said that everything went smoothly in the morning of that day, and there was nothing major, and the Qi scholars did not speak in the morning of that day.

The first emperor was in a good mood that day, and it is said that he also praised the scholar of Qi a few words.

Then when the imperial study was right, I don't know why, the scholar of Qi angered the first emperor, and the first emperor was furious, and ordered the scholar of Qi to be sent to the prison and copied the Qi family.

Wang Yongzhu didn't know why, but a thought suddenly rose in his heart.

However, she quickly suppressed this thought, stabilized her mind, and asked, "The grassland suddenly attacked my Dachu border, was it after or before the Qi family's raid?" ”

Gao was stunned, but soon understood, thought about it, and said categorically: "It's after the Qi family was raided!" About three months after Qi's house was raided, news came from the border pass that the grassland raided my border pass——"

Speaking of this, she suddenly lost her voice, and it took a long time before she muttered: "So, it's Qi Le!" Qi Le knew that the Qi family was raided, so he instigated the Great Prince of the Prairie to attack my Da Chu? ”

Wang Yongzhu didn't answer her, and her mind quickly sorted out this complicated and troubled relationship.

If this is the case, it means that Qi Le knew that the Qi family was raided, and in order to take revenge, he instigated the war between the grassland and Dachu.

So can we boldly speculate that when Qi Huan left the capital, was there also the driving force behind Qi Le.

Otherwise, how could Qi Huan, a weak woman, break away from the control of the first emperor and Song Hong, appear thousands of miles away, and still give birth to Song Chongjin safely?

That makes sense.

Then why did Qi Huan die? Is the little golden seal in the abdomen related to Qi Le? If Qi Le really sent someone to protect Qi Huan, why did he let Qi Huan die!

If Qi Le really started the war for the sake of the Qi family, why would he let Qi Huan die?

Also, is it a coincidence that the Qi family was sent to the border and is so close to the border of the grassland? Or did the first emperor do it on purpose?

If Qi Le was really for the Qi family, why didn't he rescue the Qi family, but let the Qi family fend for themselves?

If it is said that because Da Chu is too strict with the Qi family, Qi Le can escape from the capital, and there are elite soldiers in the grassland, if he really wants to save the Qi family, he may not be able to succeed.

There are still so many mysteries to be solved!

However, the information confided by Gao has already given Wang Yongzhu enough surprises.

At least, the raid of Qi's house must have something to do with Qi Le.

As for why it was postponed to a year later, it is unknown what is in it for the time being, but Qi Le is definitely the fuse that led to the collapse of the Qi family.

After thinking about it, Wang Yongzhu asked a few more details.

Gao didn't hide what he knew, but most of them didn't know.

After all, firstly, it has been decades since the incident, and secondly, these royal secrets, the Gao family can only know a little because of Rongyi County, which is already very rare.

What a bonus!

Wang Yongzhu was still quite satisfied in his heart, and seeing that the Gao family really didn't know anything else, he didn't ask questions.

Stand up: "The news given by Madame is full of sincerity." In this case, I agreed to the conditions that Madame had put forward earlier! ”

Gao's heart that had been carrying it finally let go, revealing a brief smile: "Then I'll rest assured!" I'll have someone inform Mama Zhao of them—"

As he spoke, he came to Wang Yongzhu's side, whispered a few words, and stuffed something into Wang Yongzhu's palm.

Only then did he retreat and solemnly give Wang Yongzhu a blessing: "These people are all entrusted to you!" ”

Wang Yongzhu stood still, and accepted Gao's gift, which can be regarded as taking the lives and future of these people.

pinched the things in his hand, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave first!" ”

As soon as the burden on Gao's shoulders was loosened, he finally showed a relaxed look: "In the future, you won't have to see me if you have nothing to do!" ”

Wang Yongzhu nodded, walked to the door, thought about it, and said, "If Madam is really good for them, then live well." Sometimes, living longer than the enemy is the best revenge—"

Gao Shi was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and smacked this sentence, and when she raised her head, Wang Yongzhu had already left, except for the henchman Jiang Mama who was guarding the door, this courtyard was empty, and there was no one in sight.

After a long time, Gao finally showed a smile and said in a low voice: "I will live well, and I will live a long time-"
