Chapter 539: Restlessness
Soon Concubine Qi also arrived, "Shen Yuan, what happened?" Are you okay? ”
"Mother, I'm fine, I'll explain to you later."
This is not so simple to say, Gu Shenyuan doesn't want to repeat what he just happened to others over and over again, so it's better to wait for his father to come and then make a unified explanation.
Soon, the Imperial Forest Army brought out the disheveled Xia Zhiyi from Gu Shenyuan Palace.
Although they wrapped her in a cloak, you could still tell from her messy hair and neckline how embarrassed she was.
"Shen Yuan, who is this girl?" Concubine Qi was taken aback when she saw it.
What she could see at a glance, she didn't understand so much at this time.
Hasn't my son always liked Jiang Ruanyan? Why did you get involved with this girl again?
"Second brother, you are ......" As a key figure, Gu Gangqian's appearance speed was much slower than Gu Shenyuan's estimate, so he should have deliberately hidden himself.
"Is my father here? Let's go to my father and explain it again. Gu Shenyuan raised his head and was still looking at his father's figure.
With such a big movement in the palace, it stands to reason that it should have reached his ears a long time ago, why hasn't it arrived yet?
Gu Gangqian glanced around and walked in front of Gu Shenyuan.
"Second brother, you've made enough trouble, why do you have to say such a ridiculous thing in front of your father, can't you just handle it yourself?"
Gu Shenyuan sneered, this Gu Gangqian picked himself quite cleanly, and blamed him instead.
But if he was really stupid enough to solve this matter in the palace himself, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?
"Big brother, I can't help it, I don't have the ability to solve it, can't I only go to my father with trouble?"
Gu Shenyuan still doesn't know his thoughts?
In front of his father, for the sake of the royal reputation, the emperor will definitely investigate strictly, and it will definitely not be difficult to find out who is the person who instructed Xia Zhiyi behind the scenes?
In the end, this Gu Gangqian would definitely not be able to escape the involvement, so of course he was unwilling to go in front of his father.
But Gu Shenyuan didn't.
"Besides, paper can't contain fire after all, what happens in this palace, no matter how well we think we hide it, my father will know one day."
He deliberately said this last sentence to Gu Gangqian, and walked away after speaking.
By the way, he also greeted the Royal Forest Army behind, "Take someone to follow me to the Heart Cultivation Palace, my father didn't get up tonight, so wait until tomorrow morning to get up." ”
See who dares to make a mistake in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Gu Gangqian had no choice, he couldn't stop him at all. What's more, it has attracted so many people, and now I can't hide it if I want to.
Xia Zhiyi was held by the Imperial Forest Army, and when he passed by Gu Gangqian, he clenched his fists, eager to break the woman's neck on the spot now.
Why is it so stupid? What good can it do them to attract so many people? I really think of myself as a girl from a good family!
As Gu Shenyuan said, it is impossible for the emperor not to know what happened in the palace.
I thought that today's Mid-Autumn Festival was a good day for the whole family to reunite, quiet and harmonious, and my two sons also came back, and a short reunion always made the old man happy.
But not long after he fell asleep, he heard the noise outside, and when he got up, he already heard Gonggong Ye say that Gu Shenyuan had rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
He sat down in the hall and looked at Xia Zhiyi, who was kneeling below, and Gu Shenyuan, who was far away.
"What the hell is going on?" I could hear that there was a lot of impatience in the emperor's voice.
"Back to my father's words, my sons didn't know what was going on, and when they returned to the palace and were about to sleep, the palace people who were called in turned out to be Xia Zhiyi."
Gu Shenyuan said 1510.
Today he was careless, and for safety reasons, he basically left all the secret guards in Jishitang.
There was no plan to stay in the palace before, so he didn't take people with him and neglected to take precautions, which gave Xia Zhiyi an opportunity.
"Xia Zhiyi eats, what's the matter with you? Isn't it confined to the house? Why did it appear in the palace again? ”
The emperor turned to ask the people below.
Xia Zhiyi was wrapped in a cloak and knelt at the bottom of the steps and kept crying.
"If you go back to the emperor, the little girl doesn't know. Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the little girl accompanied her mother at home, a few glasses of fruit wine into her mother's throat, aroused the thoughts of her mother's deceased sister, in order to soothe his emotions, I asked her to go back to the room to rest. ”
Xia Zhiyi began to make up stories, anyway, all this had already been colluded with his mother.
"Because I miss my sister, I sat alone in the courtyard and drank a few glasses, but I never thought that the little girl was too strong to drink and fell asleep after a few drinks, until I ......"
At this point she burst into tears, as if she was thinking of something terrible.
"I didn't scream until I felt someone tugging at my clothes, and when I opened my eyes and a man appeared in front of me, I screamed and cried like crazy......"
The people in the audience couldn't cry.
"At first, he refused to let go, but then he heard footsteps and he stopped."
Gu Shenyuan sat on the steps and didn't change his color, he wanted to hear what Xia Zhiyi had to say.
"When I reacted, the thief also rolled out of the window and disappeared, and I ran out again to find that this was the palace."
The emperor understood, "This means that you don't know how you appeared in the palace?" ”
This is too strange, the emperor has only heard of assassins entering the palace, and he has never thought that anyone would tie a woman to the palace to do a bad thing, this is also too ridiculous.
Seeing that his father was angry, Gu Gangqian helped on the side, "Second brother, don't you really know about this matter?" ”
The voice was as low as if he was colluding with his brother, but the relationship between their brothers made Gu Shenyuan disdain to share any secrets with him at all.
What's more, this matter was not his work at all.
"Big brother, you know I never lie."
The emperor also knew that Gu Shenyuan had never disdained to play these tricks, but the sudden appearance of Xia Zhiyi was too strange.
Gu Gangqian saw that his father didn't speak, so he knew that his guidance was not successful, so he simply took the words back.
"Father, it seems that someone has framed him." He simply took the lead.
Since Xia Zhiyi didn't say the specific time and person, it would be better for him to fish in troubled waters and point the clues elsewhere.
"I think so." It was rare for Gu Shenyuan to answer this time.
"Otherwise, why is Xia Zhiyi the only one in the huge palace, when I found out that he wanted to ask someone to take her out in my palace, he walked out of the door and found that the palace was empty."
Gu Shenyuan paused slightly, looking at Gu Gangqian as if he was answering his words, and as if he was doubting him.
"After all, this requires acquaintances in the palace to have such means, otherwise who has so much power to transfer all my entire palace servants?"
Gu Gangqian had nothing to say, he could only pretend not to know, but in fact, he was angry in his heart.
He really regretted that he found Xia Zhiyi, a stupid woman, to cooperate.
"In that case, it looks like we'll have to look it up."
The emperor is not a fool, so he naturally saw some clues, but now that his two sons are in front of him, he doesn't want to say anything.
He looked at the person at the bottom of the steps, "Xia Zhiyi, if you think of something, you must tell me as soon as possible, and I must find out about it." ”
The emperor told his two sons early on that although the struggle for power would inevitably hurt each other's interests, he also hoped that the two brothers would treat each other sincerely and did not want to see each other hurt each other.
Today's scene is obviously something he doesn't want to see.
Xia Zhiyi was so frightened that he trembled, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
"Also, although this matter involves the family of the military department, it is only a family affair after all, since this is the case, then we will investigate it ourselves behind closed doors."
The emperor looked at the three children seriously, "Before the matter is settled, none of the three of you are allowed to leave the palace for half a step!" ”
Gu Shenyuan's expressionless face before finally had a complexion, and he still wanted to speak, but his father had already gotten up and walked to the inner hall.
He could only salute and send it off.
When Gu Gangqian saw his expression, he could be regarded as smiling a little, it seemed that he didn't get nothing tonight, at least he trapped Gu Shenyuan in the palace.
It's a good time to isolate him from Jiang Ruanyan.
It's just that Xia Zhiyi is even more scared now, and she would rather the emperor interrogate her a few more words.
Now that the emperor is gone, then her protection/umbrella is really gone.
Gonggong Ye quickly stepped forward to lead the palace maid and took Xia Zhiyi to another store.
Gu Shenyuan, not wanting to see Gu Gangqian any more, turned around and went back to his palace directly.
I have to find a chance to explain to Jiang Ruanyan quickly, it's too late tonight, I'm afraid of scaring her by going to her temporarily, so I'll ask someone to spread the word early tomorrow morning.
The wine he drank at the banquet yesterday, Jiang Ruanyan didn't expect that the stamina would be so great, and after returning home to see off Bingyue and Bai Ruoguan, he lay on the bed after washing up, and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sun was rising, she rubbed her eyes and got up, looking out and everything was as usual.
But she still remembered what Gu Shenyuan said yesterday.
I got up, walked to the basin to wash, passed by the desk, and saw a thousand paper cranes on the table.
Don't think about it, it must have been sent by Gu Shenyuan.
Is there anything you can't say to your face, and you still engage in this kind of childlike thing, do you think she's so foolish?
Jiang Ruanyan retracted his eyes, he didn't even have the desire to open it, and went directly to freshen up and change clothes.
When she came to the cafeteria and ate the millet porridge left for her by the master, she casually asked the servant next to her, "When did Gu Gongzi come back this morning?" ”
The servant was obviously stunned, "Miss, the son hasn't come back yet." ”
"Didn't come back?" Jiang Ruanyan was shocked, didn't he put the thousand paper cranes on his table, but someone sent them?
"Miss, I, I heard that something happened in the palace last night, and Gu Gongzi seems to have been detained by the emperor."
The servant hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.
