"What else?"

"What else?"

"You spent most of the day with your parents today, don't say you didn't inquire about the past and gossip?"

"I said why do I always think someone is staring at me today, it turns out to be you."

"What's the old gossip worth sharing?"

"Really." The palace chief continued to drink and eat vegetables, licked his mouth, and put on a serious expression, "Since I talked about the matter of Second Master Gu's change of guard, then the old gossip I heard with my father today is meaningful, even my eldest brother doesn't know about it, only the older generation of clan disciples have heard of it." ”

Gu Yun came to his senses, sat up straight suddenly, and looked at Gong Changji with unblinking eyes.

Gong Changji's face became more and more serious, without a trace of ridicule and jokes, Gu Yun's heart seemed to have an extra boulder, pressing his heart and sinking slowly, he didn't dare to breathe, and he didn't know what he would hear next.

"I can only tell you about this now, and I won't admit it when I leave this door."

"Okay, I'll lose my memory when I get out of this door, you can say it quickly."

"This has to start from when our saint was a little prince who went out of the palace to build a mansion."

"So long?"

"Do you listen?"

"Listen to it, I won't interrupt, you say it."

"After the saint left the palace to live in another place, Zhang Luo in the palace chose a concubine for him, and at that time, his concubine candidate had already been determined to be the daughter of the Zhao family."

"Zhao's daughter? Concubine Zhao Xian?! Gu Yun, who said that he didn't interrupt, still couldn't help but gasp.

"It's not fun to tell you a story." The palace chief slapped the table and was suddenly excited.

"Don't don't, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm not talking anymore, you keep talking, go on."

"What else to say, the Zhao family was originally scheduled to be the concubine, but before the final announcement, the prince of the East Palace, his own brother was suddenly ill, the condition was menacing, and the situation was getting worse, the focus of the government and the opposition was all on the East Palace, and the big wedding was shelved, but I didn't expect the prince to finally die of illness, and the saint was welcomed back to the East Palace to succeed as the prince, and the Zhao daughter was not the right concubine, and the Ye daughter was chosen as the crown princess, but in order to make up for it, the Zhao daughter was made the prince Liangdi, which is the source of the discord between Queen Ye and Concubine Zhao Xian."

"I know that after the saint changed from a prince to a prince, the choice of the main concubine has changed, but I didn't expect it to be Queen Ye and Concubine Zhao Xian."

"This past is now only known to the older generation, Concubine Zhao Xian has been deeply favored for so many decades, it is hard to say whether there is such a relationship in it, if Queen Ye did not have her own prince, it would have been replaced long ago."

"It is not easy for Queen Ye to keep the current crown prince by losing two boys."

Gu Yun's voice suddenly stopped, his thoughts quickly diverged from the past in the harem, and it seemed that fireworks were being set off in his head, which exploded in his ears, and many things that he couldn't understand before were strung together.

"Bai Yehong was the head of the imperial kitchen at the time, judging from the number of dishes cooked in the imperial kitchen every day, everything there is commonly used and always new, and there should never be spoiled old goods, so where did the spoiled seasonings that let the distinguished guests of the mission eat diarrhea? What's more, it is Bai Yehong's son Bai Xiaoshan who manages those groceries, a generational imperial chef, he can't take his family's life and future seriously, but bad things still happen, who can hide his eyes and do tricks? After the incident, the Bai family was exiled, and Wang Xiaodong succeeded him as the head of the imperial kitchen, expelling all the cooks surnamed Bai, his behavior seemed normal at the time, but now we have proved that he was in collusion with Shao Yiping, the eunuch in charge of the food supervisor, and Shao Yiping was the old person when Concubine Zhao Xian was the prince Liangdi. ”

Gu Yun couldn't sit still, stood up and circled around the chair, while pacing his brain continued to rotate rapidly, the palace chief listened to his reasoning silently, occasionally drank wine, ate food, and his face was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

"At that time, Wang Xiaodong was already Zhao Xianfei's person, he wanted to fully control the imperial kitchen, the only way was to drive away the Bai family who was deeply trusted by the saint, and as he wished, he successfully replaced it, holding the imperial kitchen in his hands, with Shao Yiping's cooperation and protection, they dared to attack the pregnant princess and were not afraid of being allowed to get evidence, if it wasn't for last year's winter hunting, the palace overhauled the house to find out the Bai family recipes that had been missing for many years, otherwise they didn't know the relationship between Wang Xiaodong and Shao Yiping, and few people still remembered the relationship between Shao Yiping and Zhao Xianfei."

Gu Yun stopped, took a deep breath and held it tightly, and then didn't make a sound for a long time, until he couldn't hold his breath anymore before he exhaled a long time, walked to the side of Gong Changji, put his right hand on his shoulder, bent down to look into his eyes, and said his final conclusion.

"The Bai family's case is a complete unjust case, and the saint knows it, but he still made the decision to exile the Bai family."

"Bai Yehong was the head of the imperial kitchen at the time, and the distinguished guests of the mission collectively sought medical treatment after the banquet, he had to take full responsibility, even if the saint felt that there was a problem, he had to deal with everything before King Salte entered the capital, and gave the distinguished guests a satisfactory explanation, he did not have time to find out the truth slowly. The state banquet-level palace banquet made the guests eat bad stomachs, this is a huge scandal, at that moment, no one can calm down, and then someone has the intention to provoke it, Bai Yehong's family finally ended up in exile in Chunshui Castle, which is already a holy grace. And a month after they arrived at Chunshui Fort, they encountered a mudslide, and at the same time, the second master of your family Gu came to a small town two hundred miles away with the change of guard team, whether there is any contact in the middle I don't know, there is no evidence to prove the speculation of the hook, it doesn't count, Bai Yehong's family is now a natural disaster on paper and is suspected of dying. ”

The palace chief said so much, it can be seen that after learning about the old gossip of the saint, he had already made some reasoning by contacting the known clues in his hand, and thought of it with Gu Yun.

"He also let Bai Ko go, it should be because he was suspicious, but the result is here, and the quick disposal can also prevent the continued expansion of this scandal, he knows that Bai Yehong's loyalty can only be abandoned, and when the dust settles, he found that Bai Ko is not old enough to be left in the capital, so he was sent to Yachifang as a culinary apprentice that no one could imagine."

"Do you remember the winter hunt the year before last, the sage was furious at Bai Ko in the tent, Queen Ye left us to speak in her tent, once said that Bai Yehong served tea to the sage every afternoon, and would take the opportunity to talk about some folk trivia, the sage borrowed Bai Yehong's eyes, and even knew the things in the corners of the capital, at that time, the political situation of the government and the opposition was stable, and the officials were all conscientious, and in recent years, the government and the central government were sloppy, even if the sage was blindfolded by anger back then, so many years should have passed, but it was too late, He personally disposed of courtiers who would speak up to him about anything. ”

Gong Changji said softly and indifferently.
