Chapter 55 A lot of trouble
Calm days are always hard to come by.
On this day, the emperor became very angry again in the morning.
The Marquis of Changsheng has never been forgiven by the Xue family, and Xue Yue secretly wrote a newspaper every day to accuse the Marquis of Changsheng of disturbing the people. The emperor tolerated it for less than half a month, and it was estimated that the time was almost up, so he finally broke out in the morning of this day.
After going to court, Marquis Changsheng stuffed a large bag of silver into the chamberlain and asked him to help bring a message to the boy waiting outside the palace gate. Then he followed the emperor to the imperial study, knelt on the ground and howled until the sky was dark.
But it still did not hinder the emperor's determination to deprive himself of the throne. Although the imperial edict had not yet been issued, everyone inside and outside the palace understood that the Changsheng Hou Mansion had come to an end.
From the beginning to the end, Concubine Sheng did not even show her face. She had frequently exchanged letters with the Marquis of Changsheng in the past, but in the past half month, the letters that Marquis of Changsheng sent to the harem were as if they were drowning in mud, without getting any response.
When things came to this point, no matter how stupid Marquis Changsheng was, he understood that his daughter was going to abandon them and only wanted to keep his own glory.
——
Changshenghou Mansion.
Today, as soon as Mrs. Changsheng Hou got up, her eyelids kept twitching, as if something big was about to happen.
She didn't even have the appetite for breakfast, so she personally waited at the gate of the Marquis's mansion, waiting for her husband to return.
However, instead of waiting for Marquis Changsheng, he did wait for Sheng Gu to go out.
Chu Chu asked him to go out of the city and said that she had something to say to him. For this reason, he even dressed up specially.
Sheng Gu had a happy face, his hair was half-tied, and he wore an extremely gorgeous gold crown inlaid with various gems and jade, which was even more eye-catching in the sunlight.
He was wearing a moon-white robe with wide sleeves. The robe had the sheen of satin. At a glance, you could tell that the material was of excellent quality. It was also embroidered with large swathes of bamboo branches with silver silk thread, adding a touch of elegance.
Around his waist, there were sachets and jade pendants hanging in a circle. Before the person came closer, he smelled the fragrance of bamboo. It was supposed to be a quiet fragrance, but because there were too many sachets hanging on his body, it was a bit...
Stinging nose.
Sheng Gu's steps were brisk, and before he reached the door, he caught sight of Mrs. Changsheng Hou who was circling anxiously in front of the door of the Hou Mansion. She quickly stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Mother."
As soon as Mrs. Changsheng Hou saw his attire, she immediately frowned dissatisfied: "What do you want to do when you are dressed like this today?"
"My son has an appointment with Miss Chu to go out on the street." This is the first time Chu Chu has taken the initiative to ask him out. He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. At this time, there was still a faint green and black color under his eyes, "
Is mother waiting for someone here?"
Once she heard that she had an appointment with Chu Chu, Mrs. Changshenghou's expression softened a little.
She only met Chu Chu once at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Although that woman seems to have a bad mind, since she can catch up with the prince, she must be outstanding. If such a woman succeeds in the future, she can also become a help to their prosperous prince's mansion.
She is also stupid, so she can be easy to control, and she will be able to show off her power in the future.
Mrs. Changshenghou nodded, but before she could speak, a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling came from far and near: "It's not good - it's not good -"
Madam Changsheng Hou heard the sound, and quickly turned her head. She recognized the person at a glance as the boy beside Changsheng Hou, so she raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "What's going on? What a shame for shouting!"
"The Marquis asked the villain to come back and report that the lady should hurry into the palace to meet the Queen!" The young man was out of breath. "The Marquis also said that maybe... today will be the day!"
"What?!" Mrs. Changsheng Hou's eyes suddenly widened.
Mrs. Changshenghou, like Changshenghou, was both fat and fat, and the flesh on her face made her facial features unclear. At this time, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked a little happy.
Seeing his mother so excited, Sheng Gu was a little confused.
Marquis Changsheng went to the door of Xue Mansion every day to do some tucks. Mrs. Marquis Changsheng knew about this, but Shenggu didn't.
Mrs. Changshenghou always felt that he was still young and such things were disgraceful, so there was no need to let him know, so she never told him.
Marquis Changsheng went out early and came back late. On weekdays, the father and son could not even see each other. Therefore, until now, Shenggu didn't know what happened in the past half month.
So from Shenggu's point of view, the emperor was going to take back his family's position as marquis without any warning.
"Don't worry, mother! Your Majesty will not be so heartless." Shenggu thought that he knew His Majesty fairly well, so he quickly held his mother's hand and said firmly, "Mother, quickly enter the palace to see the Queen. My son will go there immediately.
Please repair a letter for my sister and ask her for help!"
After Sheng Gu finished speaking, he turned around to go back and write a letter, but Mrs. Changsheng Hou subconsciously held her back.
Looking at his mother's expression, Sheng Gu felt a little panicked for no reason: "Mother?"
"...Half a month ago, His Majesty gave your father an ultimatum, telling him to ask for forgiveness from the Xue family no matter what method he used, to appease the Xue family, and to marry a daughter of the Xue family..." Mrs. Changsheng Hou's expression changed.
Pale, she closed her eyes, and finally told everything like she was venting, "In the past half month, your father has been going to Xue's house every day, but he can't even see Mr. Xue's face...
This time, I’m afraid it really won’t work…”
Sheng Gu's face turned pale and he unconsciously took a step back.
how so……
"As for your sister..." Mrs. Changshenghou closed her eyes and couldn't see Sheng Gu's expression. She continued, "I have written to your sister a lot in the past half month, but... there was not even a single reply.
"
This last sentence was like a thunderbolt that struck Sheng Gu's immature heart.
The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.
After Mrs. Changsheng Hou said these words, she calmed down for a while, then hurriedly asked someone to hitch a carriage and went to the palace.
She was not even sure whether she would be able to see the queen successfully, but for the sake of her own position as marquis, she had to try.
Sheng Gu just stayed there, stunned, until Mrs. Changsheng Hou left.
how so?
His biological sister is the noble concubine of Daliang, and she is favored by the Sixth Palace.
Marquis Changsheng also swore that as long as the imperial concubine is still there, his position as marquis will be stable, but...how can he say that it will be gone if she doesn't?
Could it be...that it's because of Xue Shu of the Xue family?
Sheng Gu rolled his eyes numbly, and his gaze fell on his robe.
Yes, Xue Shu has the support of Zhenbei Houfu behind her. If she hates her out of love and wants to destroy him if she doesn't get him, it is possible.
"Your Majesty?" The concierge saw that his face was pale and his eyes were dull, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on, so he cautiously came forward to call him.
"Ha..." Sheng Gu smiled bitterly, "The legitimate daughter of the Xue family actually alarmed His Majesty in order to marry me...
It’s really crazy to spend so much effort..."
concierge:"?"
Why can't he understand what his eldest son is saying?
"Prepare your horses," Sheng Gu brushed his sleeves, looking like he was preparing to die heroically, "go to Xue Mansion."
The concierge did not dare to neglect, bent down, and trotted off to get ready.
Sheng Gu got on his horse and turned around to take a look at the gate of Changsheng Hou Mansion.
"Father, mother, sister, you have really paid too much for the position of Marquis," Sheng Gu sighed, his eyes red, "In the future, it will be me who guards the position of Marquis of Changsheng."
After saying that, Sheng Gu stopped staying, whipped his horse, and went straight to Xue Mansion.
