"Dead?" The emperor furrowed his eyebrows and muttered, "Such a coincidence? ”

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, of course things couldn't be so coincidental.

"Father, didn't that old lady commit suicide as a thief?" Song Yu said guessingly.

The emperor's eyes darkened, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace, of course he will not be stupid enough to believe that the old lady really committed suicide.

"If you don't kill yourself, you'll be killed." Gu also glanced at the people present lightly, "If it is extinguished, then what she said before will naturally not be counted." ”

Horizontally and vertically, no matter whether she said the truth or a lie before, at this time she died, that is, there was no proof of death.

"Third cousin, this can't be your masterpiece, right?" Song Xi said unwillingly.

Seeing that the matter is almost halfway through, the third prince is indeed suspicious, and if he doesn't seize the opportunity at this time, there will be no next time.

"Cousin Xi, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I just returned to the palace with my father's personal guard, how can it be my masterpiece? Moreover, you have said it, it is the old grandmother that my mother brought into the palace from her mother's house, I believe that my mother will not go to this poisonous hand, she is a thousand mistakes, and she will keep her life and wait for me to come back, otherwise, there is no proof of this death, doesn't it seem that I am very weak-hearted? ”

Song Yu not only said slowly.

Song Xi was choked so hard that his neck stiffened a little, and he couldn't refute half a sentence.

He only found out today that this Song Yu's eloquence was so good, before, he underestimated him.

"Father, the 1,000 elite soldiers brought back by the sons can testify, the sons have been staying in a camp with them, waiting for the will of the father, and never left half a step."

"It's just that I don't know that in the past few months since Erchen left Beijing, he finally came back from the front of the nine deaths, why as soon as he came back, some people wanted to put his son's ministers to death, if his father felt that his sons had really done such a big rebellious thing, then he would send his sons to the border to garrison for a lifetime, okay, Erchen is also surnamed Song, even if he dies, he is willing to guard the rivers and mountains in the east."

Song Yu said, knelt down directly, and his righteous and righteous appearance deeply touched the emperor.

"Get up, I didn't say anything, I just asked you to come back and ask questions." The emperor said, glancing at Song Xi coldly, "I don't know, when did the king of Changle County care about national affairs?" ”

Song Xi's face tightened, and he still stubbornly said: "Uncle Huang, this is a family matter, not a national matter. ”

The emperor snorted coldly, glared at him, and said, "Haven't you always ignored the affairs of the imperial court?" You've been in the main hall or the imperial study a lot lately, what's wrong? Do you want to say that Gu Chen is not suitable for the defense of this palace wall, and Yu'er is not suitable for this prince, and you should take over in the end, right? ”

After asking several questions in a row, Song Xi was in a cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked frightened and bowed his head and said, "My nephew didn't mean that." ”

"Hmph, you know what that means." After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and turned to look at the others, "Who do you think is suitable to take the position of Commander Gu?" ”

No one in the room dared to speak again.

After a while, the Emperor felt annoyed by looking at these people, and waved them out.

"Gu Qing stays for a while." The Emperor called.

Gu Chen stopped in response.

Song Yu said: "Then the minister will go to see the queen mother first." ”

The emperor nodded, and Song Yu's eyes did not glance around, and he bowed his head and retreated.

When it came to the entire imperial study, there were only two people left, Gu Chen and the emperor, and the emperor asked him: "In your opinion, what happened the night before yesterday?" ”

Gu Chen pretended to ask for a moment and replied: "The night before yesterday, there were no outsiders who broke into the palace at all, and the firearm that injured Jiang Guifei was not from the iron shop supervised by Yu Chen, after the imperial doctor took out the ammunition, the minister saw it, and the caliber was a little smaller than that made in the iron shop of the minister, although it was a slight difference, but the minister could still see at a glance that it was an imitation." ”

Although the imitation sounds like a lot of nonsense, thinking about it, this is not the first time, the firearm that was injured in Chen Jiaban last time is obviously from the same person as this one.

"You're saying that someone wants to frame you and tie you up with Yu'er?" The Emperor's mind spun quickly and asked.

Gu Chen nodded: "Obviously, the minister sent someone to send firearms to the border pass, and it was only about half the way at this time, and the path was secret, and the chance of bumping into the three highnesses was very small, so only by framing the ministers and the three highnesses in collusion, the three highnesses could have firearms, and they could enter the palace with firearms to commit murder." ”

It may sound like a bit of, but the Emperor thinks so.

In his opinion, how could the third prince form a party with Gu Chen? He clearly doesn't care who is the emperor.

Besides, since everyone wants to get something, if Song Yu insists on doing it, isn't he stupid? I love eBooks

"Moreover, the person who hurt people didn't hurt anyone, but he ran to the cold palace and injured Jiang Guifei, which is too much of a suspicion to cover up." Gu Chen said again, "Those who are thieves often shout the loudest to catch thieves, and besides, I am afraid that Your Majesty has seen a lot of tricks like this." ”

In order to frame others, he injured himself first, so that his dislike would be automatically lifted, but who knows, the more this is the case, the greater the suspicion.

Although Gu Chen didn't know if the Jiang family was involved in this incident, one thing is for sure, Song Xi must have participated.

After all, Song Yu is back, and it will be even more difficult for him to do it in the future.

"So, what do we do now?" The emperor asked.

Gu Chen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this person who planned this series of things, I don't want to pull me off the horse, or I want to make the Third Highness not turn over, it must be that the iron shop in the hands of the minister is really eye-catching, and the Third Highness has just returned from the border pass, has made countless meritorious contributions, and his reputation is growing day by day, those who covet your throne are afraid that they can't be calm." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and he snorted: "If you want me to be in this position, I am not old enough to be at that time!" ”

Gu Chen nodded, thinking deeply, at this time, whoever did something was hitting the emperor's muzzle, and it was not good for the person who used the firearm to hurt anyone, and he wanted to go to the cold palace to hurt Jiang Guifei, now in this situation, even if it has nothing to do with the Jiang family, he has to take the opportunity to drag the Jiang family into the water.

After all, among the emperor's princes, the five princes have the greatest ambition.

The ambition is big enough, but the brain is not enough.

It doesn't hurt if he wants to jump out at this time to set off the excellence of the three princes.

"Your Majesty, since some people can't sit still, we might as well plan it." Gu Chen said, bent down slightly and leaned towards the emperor's ear, lowered his voice and whispered a few words, and the emperor's eyes immediately lit up.

"Gu Qing's plan is very good, so I'll leave this matter to you." The emperor said, waving his big hand, signaling that Gu Chen could go out.

Gu Chen saw that the matter had been done, so he didn't stay long, and soon went out.

That night, news came out in the palace, saying that the emperor was sick, and the three princes were waiting in front of the dragon couch to serve the sick, and the ministers of civil and military affairs only got the news the next day.

The palace of Changle County.

The strategist said: "King of the county, the opportunity must not be lost, it will not come again, Your Majesty is sick, as long as Song Yu is brought down at this time, then the entire capital is not up to you." ”

Song Xi pursed his lips and didn't speak, but his constant groping of the cup in his hand revealed his emotions at the moment.

He had apparently listened to the counsellor's words.

"The king of the county, the old minister just came out of the palace and went to see His Majesty with his own eyes, he was indeed too sick to get out of bed, and the five princes wanted to serve His Majesty closely, so they only left the three princes in front of the bed, according to this situation, the situation is a little bad." Zhongshu Ling Ishihara also echoed.

At this moment, sitting on the side, Lord Liu and Lord Zhao, who had choked with General Fang in the imperial study before, were not to be outdone at this moment.

"The king of the county, the minister thinks, it is better to wait for two more days and wait and see, what if Your Majesty is better again? Or, he just pretended to be sick for two days, just to see if there was any change on our side, Chen felt that with Gu Chen's cunning, it would be better to be cautious and save his way. Lord Liu said.

"The minister also thinks that there is something strange at the moment, he was fine yesterday, how can he say that he is sick?" Lord Zhao said with a puzzled expression.

"What you two said is not unreasonable, but, according to the minister's opinion, whether His Majesty is really sick or fake, we will think of ways to make him really sick." Ishihara said, an unfathomable smile on his face.

Song Xi looked at him and asked, "What does Master Shi mean?" ”

Ishihara stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that there is still a woman who married from Miao Jiang in the palace." ”

After he reminded him like this, Song Xi instantly had a feeling of lifting a pot for empowerment, and the rest of the people couldn't help but look at each other, look at each other and smile.

Before the Holy Daughter of Miao Jiang married into the palace, she was named Concubine Hua, and was given the name of Donglin by the emperor, Qiuhua, but since the successive poisoning incidents in the palace, she was completely placed under house arrest by the emperor.

For the sake of the relationship between the two countries, although she will not kill her, her life is not easy, although it is rich and rich, it is no different from being in prison.

Moreover, except for these subordinates who served in her own palace, no one would come to see her.

Those low-grade concubines who had befriended her before couldn't wait to stay away from her at this time, for fear of being implicated by her.

Concubine Hua was locked up in her palace all day long, and she was not even allowed to go to the imperial garden, she was about to go crazy.

That night, a dark shadow crept into her dormitory......

When Gu Qing came back to report, there was not much change in his expression, but he just explained lightly: "You go and bring a message to Lin Yao, let him make a show, enter the palace, and after he comes out, let those ministers in the court let him go, and say that His Majesty's illness cannot be cured." ”
