Chapter Seventy-Four: Seeing Through the Truth

"It seems that Yan'er has her own opinion, tell it to her grandfather?" Old Lady Fu stroked her beard and nodded, "Yan Yan should also know about the corruption of this household department, right?" So why does Yan'er believe in the prince and why does she want to help the prince? ”

"It's not so much that I believe in the prince, it's better to say that Yan'er thinks this matter is too illogical, first, in the early dynasty, in front of today's saints, that household servant must not be walking around, right? Under such a premise, how could someone who could commit murder in the palace not be able to shoot accurately? Obviously this is a trap! Gu Muyan only looked for clues from the things rumored by the people.

"That's true, no matter how bad it is, quenching poison on this arrow is also a way, so what about the second?" Cheng Qi was originally worried that Gu Muyan didn't know the truth, but now that she heard her say this, she intuitively felt that she was too focused on what she saw that day, and didn't analyze anything more.

Gu Muyan, who was originally looking at his grandfather, changed his expression and paced: "This second one is the dead household servant, even those people in the mansion outside the palace know that after the master's affairs are revealed, they will have to bear the responsibility to protect the family, so how can this household servant not know?" Obviously, this should have been premeditated, in order to protect the real mastermind behind the scenes, or even kill two birds with one stone! Not only will the money be greedy for ink, but it can even pull the prince into the water! ”

After Gu Muyan said all her thoughts, Cheng Qi and Old Lady Fu were really surprised, after all, Gu Muyan was not at the scene, but this analysis turned out to be as if she was present, and there was little difference between Cheng Qi and herself.

"Ah Yan is right, there are indeed other people behind this scene." Cheng Qi nodded.

And Old Lady Fu asked even more curiously: "Then Yan'er may guess who is the real master?" ”

"Yan'er thinks it's the fourth prince." Gu Muyan hid the hatred in his heart, and replied pretending to be a serious analysis before coming to a result.

"Why?" The more Old Lady Fu asked, the more excited she became, and she almost wanted to stand up and take a good look at Gu Muyan to see where her granddaughter was.

"The position of the household servant cannot be said to be small, to be able to make such a minister turn against him, even at the expense of himself, the position must not be low, the prince will not lift a stone to hit his own feet, as long as he does not do anything wrong, this world will be his sooner or later, and in addition to his grandfather, there is only Yan'er's father who has such rights in the court, but it is obvious that his grandfather is upright, and it is impossible to do this, as for Yan'er's father, he is afraid to do things, and he never has the courage to do such a thing, so only the four princes are left." Gu Muyan said his guess in one breath.

"Hahaha!" Old Lady Fu laughed loudly and said, "If Yan'er is a man, I'm afraid my grandfather's position will be lost!" You're so much better than your father! ”

"Even if Yan'er is a woman, she is no worse than a man!" Gu Muyan raised his head slightly.

Looking at Gu Muyan's confident and lovely appearance, Old Lady Fu became more and more happy, and even faintly saw some shadows of her biological mother, and couldn't help but have a sour nose, but she still held back after all.

"I don't know what Ah Yan can do?" Cheng Qi was also impressed by Gu Muyan's intelligence, and looked forward to what she said more and more.

"This method, a bit risky, that is to let the East Palace catch fire, the prince was seriously injured and almost died, so Your Majesty will definitely have some doubts, once Your Majesty suspects, blood and family affection, Your Majesty will not care, even if someone in the court says that the prince is self-directed, Your Majesty will not believe it, but will feel that they have ulterior motives, this is the only way I can think of to reverse the situation at present." Gu Muyan finally explained the whole method from beginning to end.

"Wealth and danger, although we are not princelings, but this time the matter is really serious, even if the matter of the household department is not resolved in the end, it is far better than the current situation, this court has begun to wind!" After pondering slightly, Old Lady Fu nodded seriously in agreement.

For the current situation in the court, Cheng Qi is naturally aware of it, and the whole trend is faintly leaning on the body of the fourth prince, although the means are necessary, but to threaten the lives of children, this is what Cheng Qi hates the most, so when he said: "Then I will go to see the prince and inform him of this method!" ”

"No, you must not let the prince know that we did it." Gu Muyan shook his head and stopped Cheng Qi, who was about to go out.

At this time, Old Lady Fu also got up from her seat, nodded in agreement, and said, "What Yan'er said is good, we can't come forward." ”

"Why?" Cheng looked at Old Lady Fu in confusion and asked.

"Yan'er said, just teach me this stupid apprentice!" Old Lady Fu looked at Gu Muyan and Cheng Qi in front of him, the more he felt that these two were right, and even with Cheng Qi's eyes, he looked like he was looking at his future grandson-in-law!

Who knew that Gu Muyan's first sentence was not to solve his doubts, but to refute Old Lady Fu: "Grandfather! Big brother is not stupid! ”

"Yo! When did you stinky boy buy Yan'er and help you like this! Old lady Fu said with some taste.

The next moment, Gu Muyan walked to Old Lady Fu's side, took his hand and said coquettishly: "Oh, my grandfather is the best!" ”

"Okay, okay, why don't you tell your eldest brother Cheng why you can't let the prince know!" Old Lady Fu snorted quietly and urged.

"We are in the light, and the one behind the command is in the dark, if we are exposed, it will inevitably lead to trouble, besides, the person we are loyal to is the saint of today, and now there is Li Zhonghe to regulate the body of today, so why do we have to find another master so quickly?" After Gu Muyan finished speaking, he immediately took Old Lady Fu's hand and said, "Grandfather, what you said is right!" ”

"Yes, yes, besides, the prince may not be willing to agree to this method, and he may think that we have ulterior motives and don't know, so it's better to be cautious." Old Lady Fu added, and then as if she knew why Gu Muyan had to find a reason for Cheng Qi, she only stared at Cheng Qi.

"That's true..."Cheng Qi put his hand on his chin as a reflection, and when he raised his head again, he saw Gu Muyan and his master looking at him together, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "How... What's wrong? ”

I only heard Gu Muyan giggle and said, "I'm afraid that this matter still has to be brought forward by Big Brother Cheng!" ”

"Me? Didn't you say that it was not appropriate for them to know who we were? Cheng Qi asked with a puzzled expression, not understanding how Gu Muyan wanted to come forward at all.

The old lady Fu on the side really couldn't stand it, so she continued: "Stupid! Have you learned so many young skills? How can the entire capital find a person who is better than you, this night to break into the East Palace, naturally I want you to go! ”

"That's the case, then wait until late at night, and I'll immediately go to the East Palace to deliver the message." Cheng Qi nodded.

Then Gu Muyan borrowed paper and pen like Old Lady Fu, only took the most ordinary pen and ink and rice paper, and wrote the method discussed today with his left hand on it, and waited for the ink to dry before handing it over to Old Lady Fu for review.

"Yan'er, when did you learn to write with your left hand, my grandfather doesn't even know!" Old Lady Fu looked at the extremely powerful book on the paper that Gu Muyan handed to him in surprise.

"I've been learning it for a while, but I've never used it..."Gu Muyan said with a haha, this was just learned for Xiao Yi in his previous life, and now it is quite useful.

In this life, I will return the things I learned for Xiao Yat in my previous life to Xiao Yat little by little, and completely eliminate the hatred between the two!

But the old lady Fu didn't seem to eat this set, so she pretended to be angry and said: "Hey, Yan'er is now grown up, and she doesn't want to be good with her grandfather!" ”

"Where! My grandfather is the best! Yan'er likes her grandfather the most! Gu Muyan said coquettishly and flatteringly.

At night, the prince was drinking alone, and for three days, his father had not come to him once, and no one dared to approach the East Palace.

At this time, Xiao Heng tasted the taste of no one around him for the first time, although there were secret guards to protect him, but after all, he was not a strategist, no one could give him advice, and as soon as the sky dawned tomorrow, there was really no room for recovery in this situation!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, drink less, what if the emperor comes later?" The father-in-law, who has been by the prince's side since he was a child, was worried about persuasion.

But how can the current crown prince listen to these words, still drinking the wine in the cup, and not taking what the prince said to heart at all.

"Get out! When Hongu needs you to dictate! Get out of here! Xiao Heng was drinking on his head, so he naturally inevitably scolded the prince.

The eunuchs and palace maids who served in the East Palace were all worried about their future stay, this prince was placed under house arrest in the East Palace, which was a harbinger of the abolition of the prince!

If this prince is deposed, how can the people who have served the prince in this palace have a good end?

At this time, there was a figure in the dimly lit place of the East Palace, and when the guards were changing shifts, they took the opportunity to enter, and that person was Cheng Qi.

It's the first time that this East Palace has come in, and the furnishings inside are no worse than the imperial study!

According to the map of the East Palace drawn by Gu Muyan, Cheng Qi almost easily found the bedroom of the crown prince Xiao Heng, and then Cheng Qi really sighed at Gu Muyan's power.

With a "bang", the stone wrapped in the letter directly pierced the window paper, and this sound also frightened the prince on the side, and hurriedly shouted to catch the assassin, but was slapped aside by the drunk prince.

"Are you blind? What is it that you are yelling at without seeing anything? Xiao Heng stood up, and staggered to the edge of the stone, and picked it up, only to see that there was still a piece of rice paper wrapped in it.
