Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan smiled, seeing the worry on her face, he reassured: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with this king." ”

He told what happened in the palace today, and at the end he said: "My father probably thinks that he has wronged this king before, so he is now sending gifts to show appeasement." ”

Naturally, these are just superficial things for people to see, but it is also true that the emperor wants to compensate for his thoughts.

After Qin Huaiyu heard what he said, he understood the ins and outs, but frowned and said: "You just found out that little guy's weirdness, he died in two days, and the left minister will leave this matter behind." ”

is a clear-eyed person, I am afraid that he knows that this matter has nothing to do with Zuo Xiang, but he took such a trick and pulled everyone else into the water.

Although he can't be too clear, others are not clear either. The matter has come to this point, and it has given a fair reason to close the case, but if the emperor is not careful, this matter will pass.

After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, but it is easy to fish in muddy water.

Gu Mingyuan nodded and responded: "Exactly, but he was wrong this time, my father didn't plan to let this matter pass so easily." It's just that the secret investigation in the future is secondary, and the people behind the scenes are vigilant, afraid that it will be much more difficult to investigate than before. ”

Qin Huaiyu heard his words, and nodded along with him: "Exactly, but I think we have to start with Zuo Xiang." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "You think the same as this king." To put it bluntly, so far, the biggest suspect in this matter is still him. After all, a dead little guy and an inconsequential little official, for Zuo Xiang, is not even abandoning the pawn to protect the car, at most it is just a nail. ”

It's just that Zuo Xiang made such a move in advance, and everyone else was originally suspicious, so he was able to get out smoothly this time.

But......

Gu Mingyuan paused, and then said, "But this king suspects that the real person behind the scenes this time is not Zuo Xiang. After all, his behavior is a bit like covering up for someone, or using this matter to take advantage. ”

When he analyzed this matter with Qin Huaiyu before, this girl had a sentence that was quite right. Zuo Xiang was insidious and cunning, if he did this at the beginning, then it would be impossible for them to grasp the evidence so smoothly.

Unless, he's halfway or at the end of the day.

There are also the two people who died, in a place like the Zuo Xiang's mansion, they can use their own relationships to deliver news, if it is not the people of the Zuo Xiang, then there is only one possibility.

"Is the prince suspicious of Concubine Shu?"

Qin Huaiyu would speculate like this, and there is a basis.

Zuo Xiang said this, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten it really has nothing to do with this matter, at least it doesn't matter in the early stage.

But if it weren't for the Zuo Minister, the only person who could behave like this in his mansion was Concubine Shu, who was born in the Zuo Minister's Mansion.

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Gu Mingyuan looked at her, evoked a smile of appreciation, and nodded, "Yes." ”

He did suspect Concubine Shu.

In the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, who else has a unique advantage than Concubine Shu?

In the house where I grew up since childhood, it is not a trivial matter to cultivate a few henchmen.

But if it was her, there were still a few doubts that were difficult to explain.

For example, Concubine Shu is obviously in the same boat as Zuo Xiang, but why didn't Concubine Shu join forces with her father, but instead crossed him and went to find the little guy?

You must know that the loyalty and maintenance of the second prince is absolutely not false.

Seeing Gu Mingyuanfu frowning again, Qin Huaiyu poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, while asking, "What is this bothering the prince?"

Gu Mingyuan shook his head, took the teacup and thanked him, and after taking a sip of tea, he muttered: "This king is just thinking, if this matter is really as we speculated, then Concubine Shu's purpose is very obvious, through the matter of the inscription, starting from Gu Mingli being implicated, and finally pointing to this king." Although Gu Mingli will be wronged at first, as long as the truth is revealed, then this king will only suffer in this matter. ”

When he said this, he paused, and then said: "It's just that this king can't figure it out, if this is really the case, then why does Prime Minister Zuo not only help him cover it up, but wants to clear it up?"

After all, what is beneficial to Gu Mingli, Zuo Xiang will not fail to do it.

Unless, there's something else in it that he doesn't know.

It's just that I'm scared right now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to check again.

Hearing Gu Mingyuan's words, Qin Huaiyu suddenly remembered something.

It was as if there was a line that was connected by her.

Qin Huaiyu coughed and said thoughtfully: "Changqing, do you know about Gu Mingjue's frequent entry into the palace these days?"

When she talked about Gu Mingjue, she didn't hide her disgust, and Gu Mingyuan had long been used to it, so she didn't react much after hearing it, but quickly grasped the key point and asked, "Frequently enter the palace?"

He didn't need to ask Qin Huaiyu how she knew, after all, he knew better than anyone else that she wanted to deal with Gu Mingjue's heart.

Qin Huaiyu nodded, and didn't hide it from him, and said openly and honestly: "I have sent someone to monitor him, as long as this person is alive, he will not be able to be a demon, look at it at ease." ”

When she said this, she said: "If he just entered the palace openly, I wouldn't think it was strange, but the places he went to a few times were all the same place - the Cultivation Pavilion. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Mingyuan's hand holding the lid of the teacup paused slightly, and asked, "You say, Cultivation Pavilion?"

The Self-cultivation Pavilion is a place where the princes made mistakes to reflect, and it stands to reason that Gu Mingjue went there, but the problem is that there are many young princes who are not married and open a mansion. And now it is approaching the New Year, and the princes are also on vacation, except for the little eunuchs who clean every day, the rest of the time is empty.

At this time, what did he do in the Self-Cultivation Pavilion?

After Qin Huaiyu's nod in response, Gu Mingyuan put down the teacup and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any other clues?"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head.

If she had any other clues, she wouldn't have remembered the tandem now.

But now she has a bold idea, is it possible, Gu Mingjue went to the Self-cultivation Pavilion just to meet someone?

As for that man......

Naturally, it is a concubine who has a relationship with him.

"I have a guess, but I'm afraid it's not accurate, so I'll just listen to it. ”

Qin Huaiyu muttered: "Just assume that the matter of the inscription was done by Concubine Shu, Zuo Xiang, as her biological father and the grandfather of the second prince, why would he want to clear up the relationship? Unless, he realized that from the beginning of this matter, Concubine Shu was being used, and he did this to protect Concubine Shu." It's a pity that he found out too late, and now he can only stop the loss in time, and use the lives of the little guy and the official to stir up this pool of water again. ”
