Chapter 586: Repay the Favor
Although she said just now that Gu Shenyuan was already asleep when she left, it was useless to bite now.
At that time, Gu Gangqian can also say that Gu Shenyuan is just pretending to be asleep, and after she leaves, Gu Shenyuan will wake up, what will happen after that.
Therefore, Concubine Qi simply skipped these steps and followed Gu Gangqian's words directly.
"Then how can you explain that Gu Shenyuan has nothing to do with the prison escape incident of this court recidivism, Jiang Ruanyan and others?"
Gu Gangqian thought that he had control of everything.
"We all know that the auction started at the end of the day, and there were times when Gu Shenyuan fell asleep in the room."
He had already begun to laugh at Concubine Qi's stupidity.
Sure enough, it was just a woman's opinion, thinking that she could help Gu Shenyuan clear her name by taking a jade pendant, but she was too naΓ―ve.
Who knew that Concubine Qi was not in a hurry, but smiled indifferently.
She said almost nonchalantly, "Gang Qian, you may have heard it wrong, I didn't say that Shen Yuan had nothing to do with this matter. β
Gu Gangqian was stunned for a moment, he actually ignored this,
"This palace is just here to prove that earlier today, the reason why the people in his house were stunned was because of me, not because of other people, not because of other things, that's all."
"Concubine Qi, I already understand what you mean, but this doesn't mean that Gu Shenyuan is innocent."
Concubine Qi is not in a hurry.
"Bengu knows that this doesn't mean that Shen Yuan is innocent, but can you understand? Even if the person who stunned the prince's mansion was not me, and there were other reasons, Shen Yuan might not necessarily have something to do with this prison escape. β
Concubine Qi's rhetorical question made Gu Gangqian stunned.
That's true, he finally understands the purpose of Concubine Qi coming here now, and it is indeed even more powerful than he imagined.
In this way, it is useless for him to say anything in front of his father now.
Unless key evidence is found, it is difficult to implicate the prison escape and Gu Shenyuan just because the people of the prince's mansion are stunned.
"Okay, I know pretty much the same, I've long heard that Jiang Ruanyan has a huge power in private, but I don't want to have such great ability, so I can actually transfer troops."
The emperor smiled wryly.
"So much so that at such a critical moment today, she hung herself to a place like a teahouse, and she can only blame me for being careless."
"Father, I don't blame you for this."
Gu Gangqian was in a hurry, why did his father start to accept his fate at this time? Now is not the time to accept your fate.
"And who do you think is to blame for this?"
The dialogue between the emperor and Gu Gangqian once again returned to the previous issue.
He didn't believe that Gu Gangqian had nothing to do with this matter at all.
Gu Shenyuan disappeared, and he immediately went to the palace to report it, suggesting that Gu Shenyuan must have something to do with this matter, so positive, is there no problem at all?
Gu Gangqian couldn't help it, it seemed that his father was completely different from what he imagined.
He didn't doubt him, but he had directly decided that these things were what he did!
Looking at his father's unwavering eyes, Gu Gangqian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Guan Qin Chao, General Guan asks to see."
Suddenly, the people outside the hall shouted loudly.
The emperor raised his head, turned around and waved his hand, meaning to let the people below let Qin Chao in.
After that, he turned to Gu Gangqian and said, "I also know about the matter, you can go back first." β
"Yes, Father." Gu Gangqian didn't have any reason to stay here now.
He reluctantly walked out of the Heart Nourishing Palace, and happened to meet Guan Qinchao who came to meet him.
The two men saluted each other and left without saying anything more.
But just the second that passed by, Gu Gangqian instantly understood that in order to solve Shen Yuan, he had to deal with the group of people around him first.
The most annoying thing about Gu Shenyuan and Jiang Ruanyan is that there are a group of people around them who don't want to die.
So even if the people are no longer in the palace, these people are still working for them.
In addition to the eyeliner scattered everywhere, the most obvious one now is Concubine Qi.
And now Guan Qinchao doesn't know whether he is friend or foe, it remains to be seen.
So now Gu Gangqian pretended to be obedient and left the Heart Cultivation Palace, but in fact, he didn't leave in time after going out, but waited patiently outside the palace walls.
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
"Weichen see the emperor."
"Flat." The emperor looked at Guan Qinchao, who was wearing civilian clothes below, and was slightly surprised.
It stands to reason that Guan Qin Chao came to see him today, it must be an official robe, why did he come in civilian clothes?
"Why does General Guan look like this and enter the palace? Isn't there something in a hurry? β
The emperor didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.
Guan Qin Chao at the bottom smiled and clenched his hands into fists.
"Back to the emperor, it's true, Weichen entered Beijing yesterday, because it was too late to enter the palace to disturb, so he didn't enter the palace as soon as possible."
Guan Qin Chao knew the rules, and it was really helpless to face a saint like this.
"And early this morning, Wechen heard about the auction again, and I was really curious, so I planned to go and see what happened first, and by the way, I also learned what happened during the time that Wechen was not in the capital?"
He said it very tactfully, as a minister who fought at the border, of course, he had to pay attention to the changes in the city at all times.
Otherwise, it is very likely that after fighting bravely on the front line, after returning to his hometown, what awaits him is not a commendation, but a deeper and heavier crime.
This is something that every general is worried about.
This time, it was obvious that he was fine when he left Beijing, but as soon as he came back, the most promising prince, was already under house arrest.
was even stripped of the title of prince.
Along with this incident, there is also Jiang Ruanyan, the richest man in the capital, who is actually a major news of the remnants of the previous dynasty.
And this auction, which seemed to be just for the benefit of the people, hid more information, so Guan Qin Chao deliberately chose to go to the auction instead of going to the palace saint.
"Of course, this is not the main reason why Wechen entered the palace today, the main reason why Wechen entered the palace today is to tell the emperor that Wechen met His Royal Highness on the street."
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked.
Now everyone is in a hurry, eager to dig three feet into the ground to find out Gu Shenyuan, Guan Qin Chao actually said that he met him on the street.
That's really good, as long as you send someone to bring Gu Shenyuan back, the matter will be settled for the most part.
Concubine Qi on the side was frightened, and her hand was tightly clutched in a handkerchief.
Although this Guan Qinchao has always supported Jiang Ruanyan, as a general, he has always been a model of loyalty to the country.
If he knew Jiang Ruanyan's identity, I don't know if he would still be on Jiang Ruanyan's side?
I also don't know if he will help Gu Shenyuan now.
If he saw it, would he have already caught Gu Shenyuan in his identity?
Concubine Qi's heart hung in her throat.
"But the scene was very chaotic at that time, and the minister only saw him in the chaotic crowd, and he was in a coma, and he was quickly carried into a carriage, and it seemed that he was going out of the city in that direction."
Guan Qin Chao seemed to be deliberately whetting people's appetites, and the second half of the sentence dragged on for a while before he spoke.
And the emperor thought that he could find Gu Shenyuan's heart, but he fell back to the ground again.
Guan Qin Chao said the same thing as if he didn't say it.
"The minister didn't know what was going on, the scene was chaotic at that time, and the people around him were all around, and the fire in the Heart Pavilion was very big, and it was difficult to control it for a while."
Guan Qin Chao described the scene at that time, fortunately, he was a general who had fought a war, and he had seen more chaotic scenes than this.
"In order to avoid more casualties, and the other party has driven away in a carriage, there is no way for Weichen to catch up."
Guan Qinchao said, showing a very sorry look.
As a general, this is his dereliction of duty.
The emperor can also understand that generals are also human beings, and not everything can be done.
"But this clue, Wei Chen clearly wrote it down, entered the palace and told the emperor truthfully, I hope this can be of some use."
The emperor sat upright in the hall.
"I have written it down, this matter is not trivial, General Guan has just returned to Beijing, there are still many things that are not clear, so there is no need to worry about it, and I will explain it to you in detail when I have the opportunity in the future."
After a few casual conversations, the emperor asked Guan Qinchao and Concubine Qi to go back first.
In today's short half an hour, he has received too much information, and he must be alone.
Gonggong Ye sent the two out of the palace gate.
Where there was no one outside the hall, Concubine Qi suddenly spoke, "This palace is for Shen Yuan, thank you General Guan." β
Guan Qin Chao turned around, and Concubine Qi was saluting him.
He hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Niangniang, this is absolutely unacceptable." β
Concubine Qi got up, "It's nothing to do, on weekdays I'm a mother, you're a general, this is really not in line with the rules, but today I'm just a mother, and you are the benefactor who saved my child." β
Concubine Qi said, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Fortunately, Gu Shenyuan still had so many people to help him along the way, otherwise it would have been too difficult.
Guan Qinchao also knew what Concubine Qi was thinking.
But he didn't think it was a big deal, and he didn't think that he should be treated so specially.
"Niangniang, you misunderstood, I didn't do it because of His Highness, I did it entirely because of Jiang Ruanyan."
Guan Qin Chao has always been frank in his work, in his heart, no matter what kind of identity Jiang Ruanyan is, he has helped him before, then he must repay the favor.
Besides, it's not something that hurts the heavens and hurts people, so there's nothing that can't be done.
There are too many details to explain.
But when he looked at Concubine Qi's eyes, he seemed to be affirming to this mother, rest assured, as long as there is a chance in the future, he will definitely help Gu Shenyuan tide over this difficulty.
"Anyway, thank you really for this time." Concubine Qi didn't say much.
The two of them were nothing more than simple thanks and explanations, but all this was not so simple in the eyes of Gu Gangqian in the distance.
Concubine Qi is the father's favorite concubine now, 2
And Guan Qinchao is a highly decorated general, if both of them choose to help Gu Shenyuan, then he will become very hard.
This Guan Qin Chao, he is not 100% sure which side he is on, after all, he has always been loyal to Tianlun.
But Concubine Qi is difficult to do, she is Gu Shenyuan's mother-in-law.
I don't know if she, the mother, chooses to focus on the overall situation?
Or did you choose to protect your son as your mission?
