He has been by the emperor's side for many years, and he knows the concerns in the other party's heart, and after saying this, it also makes the emperor's heart suspicious.

There are indeed many doubts about today's events. But if Zuo Xiang really did those things, would he take the initiative to come over and excuse himself?

Not to mention anything else, the emperor knows the thoroughness of the eighteen secret guards, and it is impossible for Zuo Xiang to find out, let alone be leaked.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt more and more that this matter was very troublesome, so he said in a deep voice: "Then you mean that I and the fourth child are wronging you?

Hearing the emperor's words, Zuo Xiang immediately replied: "The old minister is frightened, back to the emperor, the old minister doesn't mean this, it's just that the old minister feels that this matter is very important, and today I came here to ask the emperor to ask the emperor to investigate, and I must not let go of the murderer behind the scenes." ”

Hearing this, the emperor just snorted and said, "Today's events, I have my own judgment. But since that little guy is from your house, then you can't escape the blame. Come, preach my will. ”

After the inscription was dug up, the emperor felt that there must be a prince involved in it, and the purpose was obvious.

But now that things have developed to this point, not only did the little guy die, but the official who was bought off also hanged himself, and now he sees that everyone is suspicious.

The death of that little guy and the official may be Gu Mingli's bitter ploy, but it may also be that he grasped his own psychology to plant the blame.

Although they are dead now, the Zhou family is still there, no matter what, that little guy will contact the Zhou family, which shows that the Zhou family is not clean.

It's just that...... The Zhou family donated half of the family property to the treasury, if they were to arrest people rashly at this time, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people?

The emperor weighed this in his heart, and the expression on his face calmed down a little: "The left minister is not strict, and he will be fined for half a year to set an example." ”

The Zhou family can't move for the time being, including Zuo Xiang, there is no evidence in this matter, and there are many doubts, and the punishment can't be heavy.

As soon as he said this, Zuo Xiang knew that he was picked up and put down gently, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, old minister, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor nodded, and said: "Also, that little guy and the officials in the suburbs of Beijing committed suicide in fear of crime, and hung the corpse at the gate of the city for three days as a warning. ”

Seeing the emperor's disposition like this, Gu Mingyuan was noncommittal, but his heart sank slightly.

He only stared at the Zhou family, but he didn't know that an official had died, which shows that the evidence he found was very likely to be leaked out.

But there is no way something could go wrong with the Eighteen Secret Guards.

So, it's the people around him?

Gu Mingyuan was vigilant, and looked at Zuo Xiang quietly, but saw that the other party just looked like a wronged Zhaoxue, but he couldn't see anything.

But Gu Mingyuan can be sure that in this matter, Zuo Xiang will definitely not be clean.

However, there is no evidence, and everything he says now is in vain.

The emperor glanced at Gu Mingyuan, and said: "This matter has been widely implicated, and now it is the New Year, so let this matter pass like this, and no one will mention it again in the future." ”

If you want to check, you can only check it secretly. At least on the surface, this matter has to be covered up.

Otherwise, I am afraid that it will only make the people behind the scenes more vigilant.

Although he didn't know who was sowing discord behind his back, the emperor was very annoyed in his heart, after all, this person wanted to pull his son into the water!

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone present naturally followed suit.

The emperor hummed, thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's not too early, you all step down." ”

Gu Mingyuan saluted and withdrew with the others, and after he walked outside the door, Zuo Yuan greeted him first and took Gu Mingli away.

The Second Prince's Mansion and the Zuo Xiangfu are on the same road, and the two of them happened to stop by.

When he walked to the gate of the palace, Zuo Xiang stopped first and said, "The second prince will go back first, the old minister remembered that there are some things and can't go back with you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingli asked with some hesitation: "Ancestor, there are still some doubts in this palace that I want you to answer, do you have something important?"

His words were very obvious, but Zuo Xiang just shook his head and sighed: "Today's events are so obvious, can't the second prince see through it?"

Gu Mingli naturally couldn't see through it.

In other words, if he could really be smarter, Zuo Xiang wouldn't have to bother planning so much and still achieve nothing.

Seeing Gu Mingli's appearance, Zuo Xiangfu sighed again, and simply said bluntly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, do you know who planned this matter?"

When Gu Mingli heard this, he immediately said with a little indignation: "This palace doesn't know, but if you let this palace know, you will inevitably make him pay the price, acting like this, even the grandfather is implicated, it's really too much!"

Earlier, my grandfather thought that he did this and scolded him, but the conscience of heaven and earth has nothing to do with him at all!

Hearing his words, Zuo Xiang paused and said, "I'm afraid of this person, you don't dare to scold." ”

When he said this, he didn't wait for Gu Mingli to continue to ask, but changed the topic and said: "The old minister is going to see his mother now, and the second prince will go back to the house first, the New Year is coming soon, remember to go to your father-in-law's house to walk around." ”

During the June draft, under the efforts of the left minister, the second prince Gu Mingli finally added a new concubine.

As for the princess who desperately gave birth to his child before, after she died of illness, no one remembered who she was.

The second prince didn't know why he suddenly turned to this, and after hearing what he said, he was a little surprised and said, "Are you going to see your mother, and the palace will go with you." ”

It's just that he was stopped by Zuo Xiang, and said lightly: "You don't have to go, the old minister has something to say to Niangniang, and it's inconvenient for you to listen." ”

After saying this, Zuo Xiang didn't wait for his reaction, turned around and left.

And Gu Mingli stood in place for a while, but his eyes suddenly widened, no, he just said that the person behind the curtain didn't dare to scold, but he said that he was going to see his mother.

Don't...... That person has something to do with the concubine?!

......

Gu Mingyuan didn't know about this twist and turn, he didn't leave immediately, but after the two left, he stood in place for a while, as if he was waiting for someone.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw the inner chamberlain hurriedly catching up, and replied with a smile: "The prince stays, the emperor asks you to go back." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan agreed, turned around and followed him back to the imperial study.

And it was when he walked through the corridor that the left phase had already turned back.

But one of the two went to the imperial study, and the other went to the harem, and they happened to stagger the direction, so they didn't find each other.
