Although I can't catch that little guy, the case still has to be closed.

Above the court, Gu Huaijin urged Kong Qingyun to report the case, because it involved people in the harem, and the case became Gu Chengye's personal trial.

After the early dynasty, Gu Huaijin, Kong Qingyun and Xiao Shuli were all summoned to the "Weiyang Palace".

Kong Qingyun gave Xiao Shuli a bad look, but Xiao Shuli didn't understand what he meant.

Gu Huaijin saw these in his eyes and frowned slightly.

Gu Chengye sat on the top, staring at the new tea on the table. He didn't speak, and no one dared to squeak.

He grabbed some tea leaves and smelled them, and sighed with a smile: "It's still the new tea before the rain, but it's priceless." ”

He crushed the tea leaves in his hand, and a sneer on his lips slowly rose to the corners of his eyes. He had read all the confessions, and now they were being put aside.

"Empress, the subordinates of the He Mansion pointed out that Gonggong Li beside you was smuggling official tea, what do you think?"

When Xiao Shuli heard this, she was immediately shocked, "Your Majesty, this is nothing at all. Gonggong Li has served his concubines for so many years and is familiar with the palace rules, how could he do such a disobedient thing, please ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly. ”

Gu Chengye sneered and threw the confession in her face, "This is a thoroughly investigated case!" ”

At this time, Gonggong Li was also brought up. He looked at the official tea on the table, and his face turned white with fright.

Xiao Shuli looked at him coldly, "Gonggong Li, Your Majesty said that you smuggled official tea, why don't you explain it quickly." ”

Gonggong Li didn't seem to hear her words, and knelt in front of Gu Chengye, "Your Majesty, the slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Shuli glared at him in disbelief, "You really did such a thing?" ”

Gu Chengye glanced at them thoughtfully, "It seems that the queen doesn't know about this?" ”

"Is Your Majesty suspicious of your concubine?" Xiao Shuli looked at Gu Chengye's cold gaze, her heart shook, she took a deep breath, and knelt down, "These are all Gonggong Li's own ideas, and the concubine really doesn't know." ”

Gonggong Li also chimed in: "This is all done by the slave and maid, and it has nothing to do with the queen's mother, please don't anger your majesty!" ”

Xiao Shuli saw that he was interested, and her expression seemed to be relaxed.

Gu Chengye didn't believe it, snorted coldly, and said, "Let me ask you, Gonggong Li, where did you get so much tea?" ”

Gonggong Li replied tremblingly: "This tea ...... These teas are slaves and maids, and slaves and maids steal ...... from the treasury."

Gu Chengye was furious, he stepped out of his seat and kicked Gonggong Li's waist, "You still don't tell you honestly!" It's this year's new tea! The official tea in the treasury has been checked by people a long time ago, and there are a lot of them. Where did you come from? ”

"These tea ...... of the slave maid" Father-in-law Li is old, how can he be treated like this, the pain makes the old waist tremble, but he still crawled back in pain, and knelt down, "It was Zhang Shaofu who paid tribute to Niangniang from Shu earlier, and the slave and maid hid some privately." ”

"Zhang Zhenli?" Gu Chengye raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he understood something.

Gu Huaijin quietly glanced at Gonggong Li. Concealment is the easiest thing to make people suspicious, let alone a suspicious person like Gu Chengye.

He said this not only confirmed Zhang Zhenli's private case, but also hinted at the involvement between Zhang Zhenli and Xiao Shuli.

Sure enough, Gu Chengye's face became worse than Fang Cai, "Zhang Zhenli is good to the queen, and he didn't forget to bring a copy of the new tea to the imperial court." Tell me, how many masters does he have? ”

Jun suspected that it was an invisible blade, and Xiao Shuli asked sharply: "Gonggong Li, this palace regards you as a confidant, and now even you want to betray this palace?" ”

Gonggong Li buried his head and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuli could only defend to Gu Chengye: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this cheap's nonsense, he is afraid that he has been bought to frame his concubine!" ”

Gu Chengye sneered, "Who dares to buy off the queen's attendants?" ”

Xiao Shuli glanced at Gu Huaijin, and there seemed to be coldness in her eyes, "Aren't there many people in this palace who can't see concubines and Yu'er?" ”

Gu Chengye knew what she meant, but he deliberately misinterpreted it, "Does the queen think that I can't see you well?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine doesn't mean to insinuate His Majesty at all." Xiao Shuli was so frightened that she hurriedly shook her head, "It's just that now that Zhang Zhenli is dead, there is no evidence for this case, and others can frame him as much as they want." ”

"Framed? Good! Since the queen is not convinced, I will give you a chance. Gu Chengye laughed angrily, and invited Wei Wei Zhou Yan, "Compare the tea that Zhang Zhenli paid tribute before with this batch of official tea, and then separate the people involved in the case and torture them again, and send Lang Zhongling to personally participate in the trial." ”

At this point, it is already benevolent and righteous, and Xiao Shuli is not good at asking for forgiveness.

Gonggong Li was taken down, and Xiao Shuli knelt on the ground, and this kneeling was a night. Gu Chengye didn't close his eyes all night, and Gu Huaijin and Kong Qingyun stood so numb that their legs were numb. It wasn't until dawn that the case finally came to an end.

Gu Chengye held the case file, and when he read it to the end, his eyes were already narrowed dangerously. He slapped the case file on the table and became angry, "Even if those people were tortured to death, they didn't change their confessions." You said that the slaves and maids framed you, but my guards would also frame you! ”

Xiao Shuli softened, but she still held the only glimmer of hope, "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, the concubines are wronged." ”

Where would Gu Chengye believe her, "Empress, you really disappointed me!" Forming a party for personal gain comes first, accepting bribes last, instigating the servants to smuggle official tea first, and slandering the court officials first. Which one has slandered you? ”

Xiao Shuli seemed to understand that she had no chance to turn over, she bowed her head to the ground, her voice tired, "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe in the concubine, it is meaningless for the concubine to argue, but it is up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Gu Chengye stared at her who was kneeling on the ground, except for disappointment in his eyes, there was no trace of affection, "Abolish Xiao Shu's position as the queen, take back the queen's seal, and temporarily order Concubine Xie to assist in the sixth palace." ”

After that, Gu Chengye took the lead and walked out. Before Xiao Shuli left, she glared at Gu Huaijin fiercely, and sneered: "If you hurt the enemy, you must first damage yourself, it's really a good strategy." Hongu underestimated you. ”

Although Gu Huaijin was puzzled, he still smiled lightly, "Niangniang is too famous." ”

Kong Qingyun walked out behind Xiao Shuli and walked out of the hall gate, and Xiao Shuli gave him a backhand slap.

"Kong Qingyun, is this palace not good enough for you or what? How dare you help someone else stumble on this palace! ”

Kong Qingyun was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "Niangniang, the minister really doesn't know about this!" It was His Royal Highness who was watching from the sidelines, and the minister had to report to His Majesty truthfully! ”

Xiao Shuli didn't listen to his explanation at all, and snorted coldly: "You betrayed me, and you will have a good end for you in the future." ”

Gu Huaijin saw this scene from a distance, and his doubts were even deeper.

Gu Huaijin did not return to the North Palace immediately, but went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At that time, Wang Shuzheng commanded Ling Lu to hang up the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

Seeing that he was here again, he still looked lost and depressed, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Why do you always run to the Prime Minister's Mansion, isn't it that the palace won't let you live?" ”

Gu Huaijin ignored her ridicule, but told her the news in the palace, "This case has been investigated, and your aunt did it." ”

Wangshu's eyes trembled slightly, but he only let out a soft "oh".

Gu Huaijin sighed: "Don't you think it's strange? I did think that Xiao Shuli was framing Master He, but later I found out that she didn't seem to know about it. Now the more she thinks about it, the more suspicious she becomes, why did she lift a stone to hit her own feet, and lose her position in vain. ”

Wangshu felt that the position of Linglu hanging was not good, so he took down the "Picture of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" again, and said: "It is indeed very suspicious." I saw that Kong Qingyun looked surprised at that time, and it didn't seem like he knew about it. He is a person in his aunt's camp, and if it is his aunt's idea, he will naturally tell him, so he should prepare early. ”

"Not only that, but now that I think about it, if the leader is afraid, he will directly explain the truth, so why bother to blame the matter on Lord He. Is it worth offending the master than offending the little guy? ”

Gu Huaijin pondered the past, and felt more and more unreasonable, and many things were ignored by them.

At this time, Zixu walked in and whispered in Gu Huaijin's ear: "The leader of the team has not been tortured and is dead." ”

Gu Huaijin sneered, "It's really a coincidence to go, to die." ”

Wangshu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Now that I am helping you calculate your aunt's affairs, I am afraid that it has already spread throughout the harem, and it is impossible for me to return to the Xiao family now." ”

Gu Huaijin couldn't see the sadness under her smile, and said with some distress: "The person who designed this design is evil-minded. With this three birds with one stone, we almost lost Lord He, not to mention, Xiao Shuli has now also lost his position. After such a toss from him, the Xiao family and I are even more on the same footing, and even you have been calculated. ”

"I didn't think I'd go back." Wangshu lowered his eyes to appreciate the painting, but he was in a bad mood and couldn't see it, "Zhang Zhenli's matter has just passed, and it is indeed not my aunt's style to commit crimes against the wind." What's more, it won't be such a coincidence, the private case happened in Shudi, and now the new tea in Shanggong is from Shudi, and this matter is clearly aimed at my aunt. ”

"Then Father-in-law Li has been with your aunt for a few years, he seems to be guilty of one person, but in fact, he indirectly insisted that your aunt was involved in two cases." Gu Huaijin's gaze fell on the painting with her.

Wangshu put away the painting with a smile, "If it was really made by my aunt, she wouldn't even be a slave's mouth." The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. You might as well think about it, who has benefited the most from this? ”

She was very concerned about this painting treasure, and she deliberately didn't let him see it.

Gu Huaijin said helplessly: "Xiao Shuli was deposed, Xie Ange temporarily took care of the Sixth Palace, and the ascension was just around the corner." Could it be her? ”

Wangshu didn't know about the harem, but now he was a little surprised when he heard it, "She still has this thought, but I heard that her son is very unlucky, and he is running in the fireworks and willow alleys all day long, even if he is favored by His Majesty, he is not afraid of people." ”

"What seems the most unlikely is the most likely." Gu Huaijin was obviously more vigilant, "I originally thought he was a gentleman, but at that palace banquet, he could not only recite poems against him, but also win the favor of the princess by throwing pots, and now he has won the support of Fanbang forces by mistake." Don't you think it's interesting? ”

"It's not because the princess was born beautifully. You men are the of all. Speaking of which, this was your chance, why did you give it away? ”

Wangshu looked at the past, but Gu Huaijin did not shy away from meeting her gaze.

"I just need to marry someone I like, and I will have a couple for the rest of my life. As soon as the wife and concubine have more inner houses, they will be uneasy, and the affairs of the harem are enough to annoy me, so why should I find things for myself again. Besides, the princess is arrogant and pungent, and she is not something I can control. ”

His remarks were an eye-opener for Wangshu. Is there a man in this world who only wants to win the heart of one person?

She asked curiously, "Then tell me, what kind of woman can be worthy of you?" ”

Gu Huaijin met her gaze and smiled softly, "Then you can also tell me, is there a better woman in this world than you?" There is one point of gentleness, two points of atmosphere, three points of wisdom, and four points of perseverance. ”

The smile seemed to have no intention of penetrating the hall, but it caused a torrent.

He changed his way to praise her, Wangshu was stunned at that time, she slowly suppressed the joy in her heart, straightened her face and said, "Gu Huaijin, aren't you teasing me?" ”

"You're so smart, you can see it?" The panic beneath her seriousness had already been glimpsed by him.

Wangshu glared at him unadmittedly, and gave him a serious suggestion, "Gu Huaijin, don't be so rigid, you can marry a few more wives and concubines to try, otherwise the means of molesting people are so inferior, I am embarrassed to see it." ”

Gu Huaijin's face instantly darkened, "Xiao Wangshu, why are you so good at talking?" ”

Wangshu learned from his former appearance, and Tian shamelessly pulled the corners of his mouth, "Innate, you can't learn it." ”
