Chapter 1704: Conspiracy Reappears!
Translator: Lonelytree
Someone dreamed that the princess Guguo was getting married in the empress’ wedding dress!
“What? You said you dreamed that Princess Guguo was getting married in the empress’s wedding dress last night. Me too.”
“Me too!”
The streets and alleys of the capital were filled with such voices. It was as if everyone in the capital had the same dream overnight!
The rumour instantly shook the entire capital and spread to every corner of the capital in an instant.
Such rumours were even more terrifying than the previous rumours!
These rumours were not only spreading among the people of the capital but also among the royal family and nobles.
In the Imperial Palace, when the crown prince received such a report and learned of such rumours, he was filled with anger!
He immediately sent out his secret guard, Wu Ming, and ordered sternly,” Go and investigate! You must investigate it clearly! ”
Wu Ming said solemnly,” Yes, Your Majesty!’
He did not believe that there could be such a coincidence that so many people in the capital had the same dream.
It was obvious that someone wanted to frame Princess Gu again!
Other people might not know about the agreement between the Emperor and the Princess of Guguo, but he was very clear about it.
Moreover, he knew that the princess of Guguo did not have such intentions and ambitions.
If she really wanted to be the Empress, she would not have chosen the Great General at all. She would definitely have chosen a prince to be the Empress. Even the Crown Prince would have been her first choice.
After all, with her looks and talent, as well as the Emperor’s attention on her, if she wanted to choose the Crown Prince, the Emperor would also grant her wish.
Even if she couldn’t become the Crown Prince’s Consort, she would definitely be the Crown Prince’s Secondary Consort.
Even if she were the Crown Prince’s concubine, as long as she won the Crown Prince’s favour, when the Crown Prince inherited the throne, she would be the Imperial Noble Consort or even the Empress.
And to say Jiang Zhennan wanted to usurp the throne and become the emperor himself. He laughed coldly.
If the Great General wanted to be the Emperor, even the sky would have to collapse.
Because if the sky collapsed, he had to hold it up.
However, would the sky collapse?
It didn’t collapse!
However, just because he and His Majesty didn’t believe it didn’t mean that others didn’t.
These people who spread rumours had such sinister intentions. They were simply courting death.
After his secret guards left, the Emperor sat alone in his seat with a gloomy expression and thought to himself.
Saying that the princess of Guguo was getting married in a wedding dress, wasn’t this hinting to everyone that the general had the ambition to usurp the throne?
Hehe, even though he was a little old, he was not an old fool. How could he not know if that kid had such ambition?
Did he really think that he would hold them accountable for such a rumour?
This was simply a fool’s dream!
In the Imperial Grandprince Manor
In Princess Linglongs room, Xiao Cui reported to her,” Princess, the entire capital is talking about the matter of Princess Gu wearing the Empress’ wedding dress.”
Princess Linglong was dressed in a white silk nightgown. She was leaning against the chaise lounge alone. After listening to Xiao Cui’s report, she replied calmly,” Yes!”
Xiao Cui then asked,” Princess, what should we do after this?”
Princess Linglong said coldly,” Right now, we don’t have to do anything. We’ll just wait and see. We’ll just add fuel to the fire when necessary!’
The trap had already been set.
Then, she would just wait for them to fall into the trap one by one. After that, she would just wait to reel in the net.
Most importantly, other than Xiao Cui and herself, no one knew that the person who set up this trap was actually Princess Linglong, who was hidden in the Imperial Grandprince Manor as a concubine.
She didn’t want to be as reckless as she was two years ago. She didn’t want to be pointed at by others.
It made her fall from her position as the main consort and became a man’s concubine, a plaything.
Now, this plaything had turned the tables and made the eldest grandprince her plaything. However, what was detestable was that this playthings parent had become her stumbling block.
She still could not understand why that old man Yuwen Longyan would be so fond of Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.
This kind of favour, to the point that any slanderous words against them would be immediately denied by him, and he would instead reprimand those who slandered them.
His trust in them seemed to be without reason!
This was indeed strange.
She sent people to investigate and inquire, but they did not get any information.
However, this time, Xiao Jingyu sneered.
She wanted to see if he still trusted them as much as he did before and would not doubt their ambitions and intentions..
