Chapter 67: Framing the Prince
Hongdou stuck out her tongue again, and she approached Gu Qinghe and said, "Miss, after the last fireworks incident, I have changed my opinion about Bai Yan Gongzi." ”
Gu Qinghe ignored her and continued to do all kinds of difficult actions.
"He came from Yisang, so far away, with a box of fireworks, just to celebrate the New Year for you. So how much he likes you? Hongdou's eyes were almost red, "Thinking about it this way, it's better to be a young man of Bai Yan, at least he likes you." ”
In such an instant, Hongdou kicked the prince away and chose Bai Yan.
"It's a pity that we don't know the identity of Bai Yan's son, and he is from Yisang. If Miss marries him, that is, she marries away from home, what if she is bullied?" Hongdou shook and nodded, "Miss is so powerful, she will definitely not be bullied." ”
Gu Qinghe listened to Hongdou babbling by himself, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Hongdou, I really didn't see that you are so careless." ”
Hongdou was a little aggrieved: "Miss, it's because you don't take your own business seriously, so I have to worry more." The lady is gone, and the master doesn't care, but the second young master cares about you but is a man, so of course I have to help you find it,"
"Miss, you are eleven years old, and a woman must marry at the age of fifteen. Therefore, you must find a good husband before you are thirteen years old, otherwise Hongdou will be sorry for the deceased lady. ”
Gu Qinghe said with a smile: "Aunt Hongdou, you should worry about your own lifelong affairs first! You will be thirteen next year." ”
Hongdou was confident: "I want to follow Miss all the time, not to marry!"
This time it was Gu Qinghe's turn to joke with her: "That's it, since Hongdou doesn't want to get married, then I'll find a woman for Fengmian, he is not young after all, it's time to get married." Alas, I was going to let you make do with the wind, but it doesn't seem to be possible. ”
"Miss!" Red Bean's cheeks turned crimson, and he said angrily, "You are playing tricks on me!"
Hongdou followed Gu Qinghe to the courtyard several times, and naturally became familiar with Fengmian, Gu Qinghe's eyes were so sharp, he could naturally see Hongdou's different feelings for Qin Fengmian.
The master and servant laughed this time, a set of yoga let them practice for an afternoon, after the end, Gu Qinghe instructed the girl below to boil hot water, the two of them freshened up, and it was already dark.
Gu Qinghe, who was relaxed, looked at the dim sky and muttered, "It's going to change the sky." ”
Sure enough, when Gu Qinghe's dinner was only halfway through, the secret guard of the corps came with the news that the prince had killed someone in Guose Tianxiang, and this person was still the son of the Ministry of Rites.
Gu Qinghe didn't move his brows, nodded, and continued to eat his own dishes, but the red beans on the side were panicked, after all, he had said in the afternoon that he would let Gu Qinghe marry the prince, and now the prince has such a big event.
The next day, the prince's affairs were full of turmoil in the city.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is an old-fashioned man, he does not belong to the prince's faction or the Three Highnesses' faction, he just does his duty conscientiously.
Therefore, this is also the power of the Third Highness to kill people with a knife, so that others have nothing to say.
Now that the baby son was beaten to death by the crown prince, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu went directly to the emperor to cry, crying so that the emperor was furious.
The cause of the incident was just that Shangshu Gongzi touched Gu Xianghe's hand, Gu Xianghe suddenly cried with tears, the prince naturally came out for the beauty, but he accidentally beat the person to death.
The emperor called all the parties involved in the front of the hall and questioned them one by one, but Gu Xianghe said that Shangshu Gongzi did not touch him, and it was only because Shangshu Gongzi accidentally bumped into the prince. The drunken prince was furious for a moment and killed Shangshu Gongzi.
After the crown prince drunkenly beat His Royal Highness in Lushan, he was warned by the emperor not to commit it again, and now he not only committed it again, but even killed people!
The emperor was furious, and directly imprisoned the prince in the prince's mansion and did not allow him to enter or leave, temporarily deprived him of his position, and was judged after hearing.
When Gu Qinghe got the above news, she got up and went to find Gu Manting.
Gu Manting was proud at the moment, imagining the future life, because their plan was about to be a complete success, what was waiting for him was that His Royal Highness would win the crown prince, Xianghe would become the crown princess, and he would become the prince in the near future.
At this time, Gu Qinghe's arrival just interrupted his imagination.
Thinking back to every time Gu Qinghe found him in the past, he was vigilant and wary of Gu Qinghe's careful thoughts.
"You're restless, what are you looking for me?" Gu Manting asked sharply.
Gu Qinghe's expression was calm: "I'm here to make a deal with my father." ”
"Deal?" Gu Manting frowned slightly, "What deal do I have to make with you?"
"Hush money, 500,000 taels. Gu Qinghe smiled slyly, "I know very well what you are doing in this matter of the prince." ”
Gu Manting sneered: "Do you think that what you say is believed by some people? Besides, what do you think we have done? The prince beat people to death, and everyone present saw it, can you find out what can be done to frame us? Can you still say that we grabbed the prince's hand and beat it?"
"Hmm. Gu Qinghe nodded, "You're right, but ......"
Gu Manting didn't care, thinking that Gu Qinghe's little hooves were nothing more than that.
"But, are you sure that the person who died is Shangshu Gongzi?" Gu Qinghe had pity in his eyes.
Gu Manting frowned slightly, first thinking that Gu Qinghe was pretending, but then thinking about it, why did she have to ask such a question?
"What do you mean?" Gu Manting asked.
"Haven't you ever thought about why the Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't suspect that there was something strange about his son's death? His son was not weak and sickly, how could he be beaten to death by the prince in two or three strokes?
Gu Manting snorted coldly: "I've been a colleague with him for so many years, can I not know who he is." He loves his son the most, and when his son dies, it is inevitable that he will be overly sad and not pay attention to those details. ”
"Wrong. Gu Qinghe shook his index finger, "Although he is old-fashioned, he is not stupid." The reason why he did this was only because someone forced him to push this qiē on the crown prince. ”
"Who would do this?" Gu Manting felt more and more ridiculous, "We chose him in the first place, but because he was a neutral faction, do you think we will give people a chance to suspect the Third Highness? I can tell you in no uncertain terms that we didn't do that, so you won't be able to find a handle. ”
"Indeed, if this is the case, others will naturally not be able to find a place to speak, and even if there is, it will not be able to push it on the Third Highness. Gu Qinghe smiled lightly, "But in fact, the person who died was not Shangshu Gongzi." ”
