When I returned to the palace, it was already a thin day, and the twilight was four. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cheng Jinzhi still remembered what Concubine Hui had said before, and after entering the house, he only took a sip of tea and sat silently in front of the window in a daze, with a worried and tangled face.

Even sometimes, she would frown embarrassedly, purse the corners of her lips, or pop out a few words from her mouth by herself, so that Treading Xue Xunmei was worried and did not dare to disturb easily, so she could only accompany each other and gesticulate, guessing what must have happened after her master entered the palace.

It wasn't until he heard that Cen Feng had sent someone to send Gu Chen's portrait to the mansion that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly stood up from his chair as if he had been inspired, and rushed out of the door and ran to Nanyuan's study without saying a word, leaving Treading Snow and Xunmei looking at each other behind him.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Cen Feng did not come in person, but assigned a subordinate of the Tu Ling Division in civilian clothes to send the portrait to Gao Heng.

And just as Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Heng had expected, the face on the portrait was the same as the man who called himself Gu Fei who had met in the secret room of the Jade Pavilion at that time, both in terms of demeanor and facial features.

In other words, it was already certain that this person was the Gu Chen they had been trying their best to find.

"It's not like stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it. ”

Cheng Jinzhi handed the portrait in his hand to Gao Heng, and compared with the previous spirit of being a little dazed, he suddenly became much more enlightened.

"It's good to be able to find him, after all, the appearance of this person can be said to affect the whole body, and it is enough to turn the whole situation around. It's just that the people involved behind this are probably unimaginable to you and me. ”

Gao Heng threw the portrait into the burning charcoal stove beside him, and the dancing flames were reflected in his black pupils, and the thin paper was engulfed in flames in an instant, and turned to ashes in a blink of an eye.

"I know what you're referring to. Cheng Jinzhi nodded seriously, then turned his face and said disdainfully, "But who let the prince expose his fox tail in order to frame you against the Gu family and Han Qing, which made us shift our attention to him." It's just that the result not only outweighs the losses, but also involves all the old cases, which is called ......"

"You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi and said calmly, "Is this what you want to say?"

"I didn't expect you to know me well. Cheng Jinzhi winked at him with a smile, "But I think the crown prince and Empress Zhao must not have thought that we would have found Gu Chen so quickly." ”

"Maybe Cheng Yan hasn't had time to tell them the news that Gu Chen is still alive. ”

The smile on Gao Heng's lips had just appeared, and it quickly disappeared without a trace.

"If Empress Zhao and the crown prince knew, they would definitely not be as calm as they are now. After all, what a hidden danger Gu Chen was, they couldn't be clearer. ”

"Speaking of which... You said that the old man helped the prince so much before, would he also be involved in this matter? If your father found out, he would definitely not be spared, right?"

Cheng Jinzhi smiled evilly, as soon as these words came out, Cheng Yan was automatically convicted by Emperor Zhou, and the Cheng family was in a state of collapse from then on.

The originally magnificent Cheng Mansion has also become a dilapidated and ruined place.

Zhang's mother and daughter and Liu's mother and daughter changed their glamorous and arrogant posture of no one in their eyes, and they pulled each other and fought endlessly for a steamed bun.

Even Cheng Yu, a fat boy who was originally fat and stocky, was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy at the moment, he was skinny, and he had no strength to cry.

Of course, she also knew that her imagination was too exaggerated. But it's very relieving.

"If he had, he would have done something about it these days. Gao Heng tilted his chin slightly, and his eyes became unfathomable, "Stealing official silver, forming a party for personal gain, and arson and robbing prisoners are all serious crimes, even if it is not for the prince, he has to clear up his relationship with this matter for himself and the Cheng family." ”

"But since he agrees with my eldest brother to marry the lord of Lingrong, doesn't it mean that he wants to support the prince again? My eldest brother and the lord of Lingrong are just pawns in their hands to fight for power. ”

Cheng Jinzhi recovered from his exaggerated imagination and collapsed his shoulders angrily. Although she is not usually the kind of white lotus with a strong sense of justice and overflowing sympathy, she can't help but feel sorry for these two at the moment.

However, what she was more concerned about was that Zhang didn't know what insidious means he would use this time to force his disobedient son to obey.

"Let me out, let me out!"

In the west wing of the backyard of Cheng's mansion, Cheng Xuan clenched his fist and slammed the door frame hard, shaking the whole door crackling.

But no matter how much he resisted and shouted, the two guards outside the door were as deaf as two petrified statues, and they stood motionless in the doorway.

It wasn't until he saw Zhang appear that he hurriedly took out the key to unlock the door and respectfully welcomed her in.

As soon as he saw Zhang appear at the door, Cheng Xuan immediately stopped making noise and struggling, and returned to the stove in the back room with an indifferent expression and sat down, as if he had seen his mother's arrival at all.

The slap that Zhang had slapped so hard in front of everyone before not only made the corners of his mouth ooze blood, but even the right cheek was still aching faintly.

From childhood to adulthood, aside from other factors, Zhang's is really fond of himself, and he rarely even says a heavy word, let alone beats him.

But this time, in order to force him to marry a woman he didn't want to marry, he actually started so hard, even if it was Cheng Xuan, who usually made people feel heartless, he couldn't help but feel cold at the moment.

It turns out that in the face of interests and power, his son is just a bargaining chip in exchange for these worldly flashies.

"Xuan'er, are you still beating you before the strange mother?"

Seeing Cheng Xuan sitting silently on the side with a cold face, Zhang knew that he had hatred in his heart, so he stepped forward to look at the corners of his reddened mouth, and just wanted to take out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for him, but Cheng Xuan dodged sideways, not wanting to appreciate it at all.

"Why are you putting me here?"

Cheng Xuan lowered his head and spit out a sentence indifferently, his tone was unusually calm, but it was full of resistance.

"Do you think that as long as you imprison me here, you can do what you want?"

"I'm keeping you here to keep you calm. ”

Looking at Cheng Xuan's stubborn appearance, Zhang only felt helpless, his face frowned unconsciously, and his tone became a little colder.

"As for the fact that this family business is already in the boat, I am not prepared to ask your opinion. ”

"Okay, then mother, you'd better not let me out for the rest of your life. ”

Cheng Xuan raised his head and said lightly, suddenly raising his eyes to look at Zhang's complex and slightly slightly obvious eyes, and every word accentuated his tone.

"Otherwise, I would have told the old man everything I heard outside the side hall that night. ”
