Chapter 1269 - 1269: Debate!
“Lord Li, there are rumors outside that Lin Yuelan, the fiancée of the Great General, was conferred the title of ‘Princess Guguo’ by the Emperor. She even used her identity as a princess to kill all the servants in the Duke’s estate, including the butler.” Lord Zhang asked Lord Li in a low voice.
Lord Li also replied in a low voice,” I’ve heard of it too! Not only that, but I also heard the people outside call her a female thug!’
“Strange, how come we don’t know about His Majesty’s appointment of
Princess Guguo?”
“Yes! However, the most important thing now was not that she was conferred the title of Princess Guguo, but what qualifications did she have to bear the identity of Princess Guguo?”
“Yes, that’s what I’m talking about!”
But then someone said,” Have you forgotten? That woman had the ability to suddenly barge into the heavily surrounded Throne Room. Moreover, it was said that she was highly skilled in medicine. Previously, when the Emperor was poisoned by Noble Consort Zhou, she was the one who helped the Emperor detoxify the poison. Perhaps it was because of this that the Emperor conferred her the title of ‘Princess Guguo?”Although he wasn’t very sure, he was almost certain!
“Just because she once cured His Majesty’s poison, she was conferred the title of ‘Princess Guguo’. Then, Minister Zhang, who saved His Majesty’s life countless times, was still only an imperial doctor and had not been conferred an official title?! Instead, because of a mistake, he was beheaded, and even his family was exterminated.”
“Hush, Lord Yin, I know that you have a good relationship with Minister Zhang and want to fight for him. However, in the Imperial Court, how can you say such things? Don’t you know that Zhang Zehan’s so-called mistake was to participate in the rebellion?” Another lord who was on good terms with Lord Yin quickly stopped his dissatisfaction.
It was not without reason that disaster came from the mouth.
Lord Yin quickly covered his mouth after being reminded. He carefully looked at his colleagues around him. They were in groups of three to five and did not notice them. He finally relaxed.
Then, he said,” That woman is really blessed by her ancestors! It was said that she was originally the sister of the Great Royal Merchant Liu Yichen. She had a big brother who was the richest in the world and a fiancé who was the Great General. Now, with the identity of the Royal ‘Princess Guguo’, how lucky was she? She could do whatever she wanted in the world, let alone in the capital!” When he said this, his tone was obviously sour.
“Exactly!” His colleague chimed in,” I heard that this woman has a bad temperament and is a bloodthirsty female thug. She had just been conferred the title of Princess Gu when she killed the servants of Zhengguo Duke’s estate. I heard that more than half of them died, and the rest were seriously injured. They are still lying in bed. It’s hard to tell if they are dead or alive!” “This princess of Guguo is too much!”
“Hehe, so what if she went overboard? She had a rich elder brother before her, a great general who held great military power, and even His Majesty who supported her. Let alone killing the servants of the Duke’s estate, and no one would dare to say anything even if she killed the Duke himself!”
“That’s true! Sigh, I really don’t understand the Emperor. Even if that woman had cured him of the poison, he could have given her other rewards, such as gold, silver, and jewelry. She should have been deeply grateful, but he actually gave her such a precious identity. If this were a gentle, dignified, and virtuous woman, it would be fine. However, she was a bloodthirsty woman. In the future, how many innocent lives would be lost in her hands?”
All in all, in the Imperial Court, the civil and military officials were all dissatisfied with the rumors circulating outside. They were all extremely angry. They all agreed that the Emperor was really too kind this time!
Just as everyone was discussing fervently, Jiang Yunfeng, who was wearing the court uniform that represented his rank, walked in with red and swollen eyes and a haggard expression.
At that moment, everyone looked at him with pity and sympathy.
After he had completely walked in, his colleague, who was slightly close to him, walked over. He had a sympathetic and pitiful expression on his face as he asked him,” Zhengguo Duke, are you alright?”
The others, or those who did not get along with him, also pretended to walk over and ask,” Zhengguo Duke, are you alright?”
Jiang Yunfeng raised his head. His expression did not look good, but he said,” Thank you for your concern, my lords.. I’m doing well!”
