Chapter 265: Lonely Palm
Although what Gao Heng said was still speculation, it still caused a lot of shock in Cheng Jinzhi's mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As the saying goes, this heart is my hometown.
In Cheng Jinzhi's mind, only this Yanwang Mansion can be regarded as a pure land that can make her feel at ease.
is not as indifferent as the Cheng family in the past, cold as an ice cellar, nor as turbulent and treacherous as the palace, it is a warm family for her, which makes people relaxed and comfortable, unrestrained, and will always think about it when she goes out.
However, at this moment, she heard that even the Yan Wang's Mansion had been infected by the dark dust, which made her suddenly feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even if it was just a momentary scene, it still made her a little bored, and she just wanted to find out the maid jade pot who spread rumors in the Jin Palace, and pull out this rat feces that broke the whole pot of porridge.
But she knew very well that this time was far more difficult than the last time.
"If there are really internal ghosts, there are so many people up and down this Yanwang Mansion, and we can't find out. ā
Cheng Jinzhi lowered his head and looked a little sad, and gradually became solemn, and he didn't want this speculation to be true.
"Whether there are internal ghosts or not, and how to check it, is not the most important thing. If there is really a member of the prince's party in King Yan's mansion, then this person must be very hidden, and he will not be easily discovered by us. ā
Gao Heng withdrew his gaze from the window, his gaze stopped in one place, and the seriousness on his face was even worse.
"The key now is how to get the Yan Wangfu to get rid of this matter. ā
From Gao Heng's tone, Cheng Jinzhi obviously felt a trace of anxiety, and the worry in her heart couldn't help but increase a little.
So he licked his somewhat dry lips and said, "But don't we still have Gu Chen as a witness?" With the assistance of Cen Changsi, even if the prince wants to take the opportunity to frame and slander us, your father will not easily believe it, right? Whether it is fireworks or tokens, no matter how you look at it, it is too deliberate, even a person like my eldest brother who has no heart feels that these two fireworks are too coincidental. ā
"Speaking of Gu Chen, we made a mistake. Gao Heng wrinkled his eyebrows and sighed, "I originally thought that since Gu Chen cooperated with the prince back then, he must have more or less the handle of the prince in his hands, but from Cen Feng, I learned that the only person who has been in contact with Gu Chen is Wei Yan, the head of the household, even if he knows that Wei Yan is behind the prince's instructions, it is difficult to say it to his father and emperor based on his own words." ā
"What? This Gu Chen is really angry, he almost killed him for the prince's life, and in the end he couldn't even come up with any decent evidence, in vain we worked so hard to find him, and almost lost your life and died. Phew!"
Cheng Jinzhi gritted his teeth and said, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on his knee, probably because he was too indignant, and he didn't feel the slightest pain.
"Lost your body and died?"
Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi in surprise, and heard her say in a heartfelt voice: "Have you forgotten? That night in Shuyu Pavilion, you were almost given something by Xu Ruyan's vixen." And when Gu Chen attacked me in the palace that day, you were slashed in order to save me, this scar is not complete, it makes people feel distressed to look at it. ā
"Am I not safe and sound now?"
Seeing the exaggeration of Cheng Jinzhi's words, Gao Heng couldn't help but smile on his lips, and after his expression was soothed a little, his tone was not as heavy as before.
"Moreover, now it coincides with the incident of last night, and the Yanwang Mansion has been involved in this case again. So in front of his father, the crown prince could even bite back, saying that Gu Chen was instructed by me to maliciously frame him, and no matter how bad it was, he would let Wei Yan be the scapegoat and leave himself clean. This is also the reason why Cen Feng did not report Gu Chen's testimony to his father. ā
"But this one is named Wei Yan, everyone knows that he is the crown prince's person, didn't you say that it was the prince who helped him sit in the position of the head of the household department in the first place? Since Gu Chen can identify him, how could your father not think that the prince also participated in it?"
"The affairs of the court have always been involved in the whole body, and in the absence of ironclad evidence, relying on these empty guesses, the father will not easily condemn people. ā
Gao Heng lowered his eyes, his deep eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his tone was full of irony.
What's more, this person is still the candidate for the prince whom he has entrusted to the country and placed high hopes on. ā
Gao Heng has always been cautious in doing things, even if he believes that what Concubine Jing said to Cheng Jinzhi is true, but in the absence of any substantive evidence to support this conclusion, he will never take the liberty of exposing this matter to the sky.
After all, this matter is not only related to the society and the court, but also involves the royal face, which is too heavy.
Even if he wanted to reveal the truth to Emperor Zhou in the end, he would pretend to be someone else's hand, and would not involve himself and the Yan Wangfu.
"Entrust the country and place high hopes, if your father knows his background, a mouthful of old blood will spurt out. ā
Cheng Jinzhi didn't know what Gao Heng was thinking, so he just muttered softly carefully, but as soon as the words fell, he saw her suddenly grab Gao Heng's hand, squinting her eyes and staring at him mysteriously.
"You say... Prince, does he know his background?"
"I'd rather he didn't know. Gao Heng reached out and patted the back of Cheng Jinzhi's hand twice, "If he knows, the situation will only be more difficult for us." In his eyes, we have to die. ā
Cheng Jinzhi naturally understood the deep meaning of Gao Heng's words.
She made such a fuss in front of the queen's cronies Chang Le in Jiuyoutai the day before yesterday, and it is impossible to say that Empress Zhao did not notice it at all.
So he squeezed out a bitter smile and waved his hand disappreciatively, and said teasingly: "Forget it, anyway, we have to die in the eyes of the queen, and it doesn't make a difference if there is one more him." But speaking of this, Wei Yan ......"
"I know what you're going to say. Gao Heng's eyes deepened, "Since he has done so many things for the prince, presumably the prince has long thought that there will be such a day, and naturally he has already found a way back for himself, and it is basically impossible to identify the prince through him." ā
"I know it's too difficult to start with Wei Yan. However, Wei Yan also helped the prince in the court, although I don't know about the court, but I also know that if this person is removed, the prince will be equivalent to losing the entire household. ā
Cheng Jinzhi said unhurriedly, the light flashed in his bright eyes, and Fang said meaningfully.
"So what I mean is, since we can't capture the thief and capture the king first, then we should cut off his right arm and leave him alone. After all, a tiger can't fight a pack of wolves. ā
