Chapter 585: Confession

"Back to my father's words, because my son had been worried about the second brother before, I specially sent two capable people to his house to take care of him, but I learned the news just now......"

Gu Gangqian deliberately paused here.

"Speak quickly!" The emperor has obviously lost his patience.

"Erchen learned that the servants of the entire prince's mansion were all drugged last night, and when they woke up again, they were already three poles old, and they searched up and down the mansion, but they didn't see any trace of the second brother."

The emperor didn't speak, but Gonggong Ye was beside him, and just listening to his breathing, he knew that he was angry now.

Gu Gangqian, on the other hand, regarded this silence as a kind of acquiescence.

He continued, "It's obvious that the second brother has something to do with this matter, and maybe he was also involved in the plot. ”

"Presumptuous!" The emperor Long Yan was furious, "If there is no evidence, you dare to say this about your own brother!" ”

He knew that the two brothers had always been at odds, but he didn't want to see such a scene.

"I called you today to ask you about bringing people to the teahouse, but I didn't ask you about that!"

Gu Gangqian was silent in time.

It's not that he doesn't dare to answer, but he is also angry in his heart.

At this time, the father was still partial to Gu Shenyuan.

Father is angry now, unintentionally, because he suspects that he is framing, but he doesn't want to believe that Gu Shenyuan will plan with Jiang Ruanyan to escape from prison together as he said.

Is it really interesting for my father to deceive himself like this?

However, no matter what, he is also a junior, so he can't be rude, so he still can't bear to answer.

"Back to my father, my son has been in the house today, and he hasn't sent anyone to the dungeon, let alone brought Jiang Ruanyan and others to the teahouse."

Gu Gangqian vetoed it.

What if the person is brought by him?

Since the father can deceive himself and not admit that Gu Shenyuan and the remnants of the previous dynasty conspired to escape from prison, why did he have to be so clear when he came here?

What does it matter where he takes Jiang Ruanyan?

He asked people to bring Jiang Ruanyan to the teahouse, if it wasn't for Gu Shenyuan's internal and external cooperation, how could Jiang Ruanyan successfully escape from prison?

Gu Gangqian just wants to see if he doesn't admit it now, what will his father do with him.

Is it self-deception like Gu Shenyuan? Or is he sure he did it?

"Then tell me then, who else has such courage!"

The emperor's voice was several times louder, and the roof was about to be overturned.

"Concubine Qi is here!" At this time, the eunuch at the door made a report, breaking the conversation between the two.

Gonggong Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The concubines see the emperor." Concubine Qi entered the hall.

The emperor glanced at her and held back his anger, "Concubine Qi, now is not the time for you to come, I will send someone to inform you if there is any news from Shen Yuan, you go back first." ”

He said a few words simply, and wanted to send Concubine Qi away.

Now that Gu Shenyuan has not been found, Gu Gangqian is having trouble with him again, it is not a good time for Concubine Qi to come now.

"The emperor misunderstood, the concubine came to confess."

It was also this sentence that the emperor heard that Concubine Qi's voice was still a little crying.

He turned, and the kneeling man below slowly raised his head, his eyes already red from crying.

"Confession, confession of what?"

Everyone in the palace, like the emperor, didn't understand the reason.

"Your Majesty, earlier today, the concubine disobeyed your order and secretly went to Shenyuan Mansion to visit him."

Concubine Qi stopped crying and began to speak.

"Because I was worried that I would be seen and let you blame Shen Yuan again, the concubine made everyone in the house stunned in advance."

Although Concubine Qi was still uncontrollably sad, she spoke much calmer.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was frightened.

Gu Gangqian didn't believe that Concubine Qi would stand up at this time.

"Aifei, what are you talking about?" The emperor couldn't believe his ears.

"Your Majesty, if you want to blame the concubine, it's the concubine who is too selfish and wants to see her son, so she did this, and please take it lightly for the sake of the concubine's pregnancy in October."

Concubine Qi has been kneeling on the ground since she entered the hall, looking at her like that, the emperor can't bear to blame more.

"What the hell is going on? You make it clear to me. ”

The emperor couldn't bear to blame Gu Shenyuan, but now that Concubine Qi was involved, he couldn't bear to blame him even more, and he definitely had to investigate clearly.

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine knows that you are angry now, and imprisoning Shen Yuan in the palace is also a punishment for him, but you also removed his title this time......"

This is the most important place, if you are just grounded in the prince's mansion, it will not be like this.

"I was so scared that the concubine couldn't sleep well in the palace, so I was worried that she wouldn't eat or sleep well, and I was afraid that the people below would take the opportunity to bully him."

This kind of thing often happens in the palace, in addition to those concubines who are left out in the cold, the emperor's unappreciated heirs will also be unpopular in the palace.

It is difficult to say that someone like Gu Shenyuan was suddenly removed from the title, and it is understandable that Concubine Qi said so.

Although no one may dare to do this, as a mother, it is normal to worry.

The emperor did not doubt it.

"The concubine also knows that today is the auction day, so thinking that this morning, everyone's attention will definitely be on the market and auction, and he should not be strictly guarded."

Concubine Qi grasped the size very well, and the cry could not only make the emperor feel distressed, but also not annoying.

"So the concubine took advantage of this time to let the people under her go and stun all the subordinates in his house, so that our two mothers could meet at this time to see if he was bullied."

The more Concubine Qi spoke, the more sad she became.

At night, she always knew that Concubine Qi was a loving mother, and she always remembered Gu Shenyuan.

It's just that this time, he drugged and stunned the people in the house, which he really didn't expect to be done by her.

The two have known each other for so many years, and it is the first time that Concubine Qi has done such an outrageous thing.

The emperor didn't speak, his emotions were very complicated for a while, and he didn't know if he should be angry now.

Concubine Qi seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that this time the concubine did something wrong, and originally planned to find a suitable time to confess to you, but now ......"

She hastened back to the topic.

"I didn't expect that there was a prison escape, and the concubine had to tell the emperor about it first."

Concubine Qi didn't look at Gu Gangqian when she spoke, but what she said seemed to be said to Gu Gangqian.

"This morning, the people in the Shen Yuan Mansion were indeed stunned, but that was the purpose of the concubine, and it was just to see him and talk to him, that's all."

She paused for a moment and continued, "We had a brief chat, and knowing that everything was fine with him, the concubine secretly returned to the palace while no one woke up. ”

Concubine Qi said everything she had conceived in her heart little by little.

"After we finished speaking, he also went back to the house to rest, and the concubine only came back after watching him sleep."

Gu Gangqian's hands on the side had already clenched into fists, and he hadn't figured out what was going on when Concubine Qi came over just now, but now he understood.

Concubine Qi is here to help Gu Shenyuan find an excuse.

This is obviously nonsense, Concubine Qi is Gu Shenyuan's mother-in-law, of course, she is facing him, and she will naturally help him speak.

But in this way, it caused him to behave like in front of his father just now, but he was like a villain who couldn't wait to overthrow Gu Shenyuan and take the throne himself.

What's even more annoying is that although he was not born to Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi is also his elder, and now he can't have any questioning attitude, so he can only wait on the sidelines.

Of course, the emperor is not stupid, and he can't believe whatever Concubine Qi says.

He calmed down his emotions first, "Concubine Qi, you get up and speak first." ”

He told those who were kneeling below to get up first.

"You said you went to see Shen Yuan this morning, but what evidence do you have?"

There is no need for witnesses, the people around Concubine Qi are close to her, and it is in vain to ask questions.

Ask her if she has any evidence, forget if she doesn't, and if she has, then she can prove it to everyone in the future.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, our mother and son miss it very much today, and after chatting for a while, the concubine is worried that she won't be able to see her child in the future, so she specially asked him for this."

Concubine Qi took out the jade pendant in time, and Gonggong Ye hurriedly stepped forward, but before she could reach the emperor, she had already recognized this jade pendant.

This is what Gu Shenyuan has carried with him since he was a child, how could he not know it.

"This is also in today's chat, he told his concubine that this jade pendant was inevitably bumped because he had been wearing it for a long time, and there was a damage in the corner, and he didn't know if it could be repaired."

The emperor took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully, and there was indeed a missing piece in the corner.

Since there is evidence, it can naturally show that the matter in Gu Shenyuan's mansion this morning is related to Concubine Qi.

In that case, how can he punish him?

What mother in the world would not miss her child.

What's more, this time the matter is so big, it is normal for Concubine Qi to be worried.

If he is really punished, and it is spread outside the palace, what will the people think of him?

He handed the jade pendant to Gonggong Ye again, and said in a serious tone, "If a jade like this is broken, I'm afraid it can't be repaired well." ”

Concubine Qi answered at the bottom, "The concubine doesn't feel that as long as the jade is still there, there is still hope." ”

The conversation between the two seems to be just because of the jade pendant, but in fact, it is also like the attitude of the two of them towards this matter.

The emperor wanted Gu Shenyuan to come back, but Gu Shenyuan always didn't follow his wishes, and this time he also involved people from the previous dynasty!

That's it, and he was given a chance before, but Gu Shenyuan didn't repent, and the emperor also felt disappointed, always feeling that there was no hope.

But Concubine Qi doesn't think so, she thinks that as long as people are still there, things still have the possibility of changing.

Seeing that his father was shaken, Gu Gangqian couldn't bear it, and hurriedly spoke, even if he questioned and contradicted his elders, he had to say.

"Concubine Qi, can you tell me when you arrived at the prince's mansion and when did you come out?"

As soon as he finished asking, the emperor's sharp eyes were projected.

Concubine Qi hurriedly stopped.

"It doesn't matter to the emperor, Gu Gangqian, this kid has always been very concerned about Shen Yuan, and many people in the house were also sent by Gangqian, he should be worried about Gu Shenyuan's kid when he asks this."

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that Gu Gangqian's attitude towards her son.

It's just that what she wants now is for Gu Gangqian to question her.

"The main palace is going at the end of the day, and I left before dawn, and the hour is probably in the hour."

Gu Gangqian smiled proudly after hearing this, "Then according to Niangniang, you have already left after morning?" I don't know where Gu Shenyuan went, right? ”

Then it seems that this Concubine Qi is here, and it has no effect.

Gu Gangqian became more and more proud.

Concubine Qi was in danger, "It can be said that the palace left after the meeting, and there was no one left in the house to take care of it, so naturally I don't know what this child has done." ”
