Chapter 85: Last Chance
After a few days of calm and calm, news came from Prince Hua's mansion.
Gu Mo was imprisoned, and without even Gu Chenghan doing it himself, the people under his hands were easily subdued.
When he met a few of Gu Mo's henchmen, Zhen Chutian had already prepared what he should prepare.
Gu Chenghan hugged his arms, and when he saw them kneeling on the ground and tied up one by one, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"
"Let them tell the truth, of course."
Zhen Chutian took two steps forward and squatted down to look at a few people: "Did Gu Mo buy the North Sea Gu Worm with a wizard?"
"I don't know."
Everyone shook their heads and made up their minds to keep silent.
Zhen Chutian nodded, and he was not in a hurry: "If you don't talk about it now, don't say it when you have the ability to go to the palace." ”
"Take them into the palace?" Gu Chenghan looked at her in disbelief.
Night Shadow also took two steps forward and couldn't help but ask, "This is a big matter, if you don't have enough confidence for them to tell the truth in front of the emperor, you can't alarm the emperor." ”
Zhen Chutian blinked: "Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure." ”
After a while, the group came to the palace.
Seeing them come to the imperial study with a few black-clothed people, the emperor couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing here?" Who are these people?"
"Back to the emperor, these people are Gu Mo's subordinates, Gu Mo did something hurtful a while ago, but there has been no evidence, and he managed to destroy the evidence just a few days ago, so these subordinates who followed Gu Mo must know the truth, so we took it upon ourselves to bring them to you, and we want to find out what the truth is today."
Zhen Chutian arched his hand, and said this in front of Gu Chenghan with righteous words.
The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What do you mean... Do you know what Gu Mo did?"
"The emperor also knows that the little girl is a little skilled in medicine, and the little girl discovered a while ago that there is a North Sea Gu worm in the prince's body, this kind of Gu worm has no feeling in the human body at the beginning, and then it will emit toxins, erode people's internal organs, and finally gnaw the heart, so that this person has no place to die."
Speaking of this, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but look at Gu Chenghan: "The prince has been green for two months, if it weren't for my timely diagnosis and treatment, I'm afraid he would have died now, this kind of North Sea Gu worm is not easy for anyone to get, a while ago, the prince's people found a wizard selling North Sea Gu worms on the street, so I went to find that wizard......
"The result?" When the emperor heard this, his face was already gloomy.
Gu Chenghan is the brother he cares about and cherishes the most, and now that he was killed and almost died, how could he be happy?
Zhen Chutian continued: "Later, when I asked the wizard to knock him out and put him in the alley, and was about to discuss with the prince what to do, the wizard was killed, we combined all kinds of clues, and speculated that Gu Mo was moved to bring these people, I have a way to make them tell the truth in front of the emperor, and only when the emperor listens to it will he know what ridiculous things Gu Mo has done." ”
Hearing these words, the emperor walked down with his hands behind his back, looking back and forth at several people, his face was very gloomy.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you let them speak, I want to know what Gu Mo has done." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chenghan and Night Shadow both looked towards Zhen Chutian.
These people are all loyal to Gu Mo, and it is not so easy to get them to tell the truth.
But Zhen Chutian didn't care at all that this matter was very difficult, she walked up to one of them, took out the porcelain bottle in the system, and stuffed the pill into the mouths of several people.
"Now that they've taken my medicine, they're going to tell the truth, and whatever I ask, they'll answer from now on."
After finishing speaking, she looked at the man in black who was the leader: "Beihai Gu worm, how did your prince get it?"
Everyone stared at the man in black, holding their breath and waiting for him to answer.
After a moment, the black-clothed man's gaze gradually began to blur. Honestly replied; "The prince found the wizard who often sold Gu Mansion on the street, and bought back the Beihai Gu worm from him with a thousand taels of silver tickets."
As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately clenched his fists.
"How did he get the North Sea Gu worm into Prince Hua's body?" Zhen Chutian had long known that his medicine was very effective, and it was only expected to hear this at this time.
The man in black thought for a while and replied honestly: "During a palace banquet, the emperor instructed someone to poison Prince Hua, and from then on, Prince Hua was in the Gu Mansion. ”
"Did the wizard be killed by your lord? Why did he deal with Prince Hua?" Zhen Chutian narrowed her eyes, and the last sentence was what she wanted to know the most
Gu Mo and Gu Chenghan have no grievances or hatred, even if he is always pressed by Gu Chenghan on weekdays, it is not a big deal, why is he so aggressive?
The man in black was silent for a moment: "The wizard was not killed by the prince, it was our hands, and the prince wanted to get rid of Prince Hua because since the prince died, he was afraid that the emperor would make another mistake, and the successor would be Prince Hua, and he would be killed if he wanted to be the emperor."
After listening to these somewhat rebellious words, the emperor's face could no longer be described as difficult.
He stared at the man in black tightly: "I ask you, when did Gu Mo start dealing with Prince Hua?" What else did he do wrong besides dealing with Prince Hua?"
"Half a year ago, the prince sent someone to assassinate Prince Hua, not only that, but the prince also secretly collected troops, and a barracks of 5,000 people fell in Liangshan, which was secretly placed so that when he passed the throne to Prince Hua in the future, he could use these forces to suppress and force the palace to rebel.
After hearing these words, the table suddenly sounded with a bang.
Zhen Chutian was startled, and when he looked over, he found that the emperor's face was already gloomy and terrifying.
"Yes, this is really my good brother!"
Gu Chenghan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
The most taboo thing in the imperial family is fratricide, so over the years, since ascending to the throne, the emperor has cared very much about the two brothers, even if Gu Mo has done many things that are enough to be punished, the emperor has chosen to turn a blind eye.
This retrospective Mo's true nature is completely exposed. The emperor was naturally heartbroken and disappointed.
"I don't want to tolerate it anymore, come on! Pass Gu Mo into the palace!"
Xiao Liuzi obediently gave up his hand and immediately turned around and left to do this.
In just an hour, Gu Mo came to the imperial study.
Seeing his subordinates kneeling on the ground, he was suddenly shocked, and he tried his best to keep his composure and walked over.
"Brother Huang, what's going on?"
"Take a good look at it, are these people your men?" The emperor's face was gloomy, but he tried his best not to let himself get angry.
"yes, I wonder what they've done?" He knew that since the emperor asked this, he must have been sure that this was his own person, so he nodded and admitted without hesitation.
"Good, good." The emperor sneered, turned to look at Xiao Liu: "Spread my will, Prince An troubled the dynasty and killed his hands
Enough, he can no longer be the prince of the royal family, and from now on, he will be abolished as a prince, demoted to a concubine, and he will not be allowed to leave the Zongren Mansion for life!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Go and pass the decree immediately, don't delay!"
Gu Mo's face suddenly turned pale.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Brother Huang, I don't know what I have done to make Brother Huang so angry, but if my brother provokes you, please tell me the truth, Brother Chen must change well, and ask the emperor to give me a chance to reform myself!"
"Change? How do you change it? If it weren't for Zhen Chutian's medical skills, Prince Hua would have been infested by the North Sea Gu worm and would not be alive, even if you were not useful before you changed your life? Can you save his life?" The emperor asked sharply.
Hearing this, Gu Mo opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"What the hell is going on?" Gu Mo looked at a few people in fear, but he was shocked that the matter of the Beihai Gu worm had been discovered.
Seeing that he still looked like he didn't know why at the moment, Zhen Chutian sneered, stepped forward and said: "All your people have been recruited, you used the Beihai Gu worm to frame the prince, you have repeatedly assassinated him before, and secretly raised 5,000 personal soldiers, and when you were ready to rebel again, you can't deny it, but now you are just abolished, and it is already the emperor who has not asked you to behead you to show the public!"
After hearing this, Gu Mo first couldn't believe it, and then turned his head sharply and stared at the row of subordinates kneeling on the ground.
He never imagined that his subordinates would really betray.
Apparently they had sworn a poisonous oath. There is poison hidden in his teeth, and even death will not reveal half a word, why did he suddenly rebel?
"Brother Huang, someone must have deliberately wronged his younger brother, his younger brother has never done such a thing, and he has never thought about the throne of the emperor, even if his younger brother does not get along with Prince Hua on weekdays, he has never really harmed his life, so don't believe it, otherwise you will fall for the villain's tricks!"
Gu Mo explained impatiently.
He doesn't want to be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and he doesn't want to be the emperor!
"Villain? Your subordinates admit it themselves, what do you say is a real villain? I tell you, in fact, it is not them who say, I have also found that what you have done over the years has deviated more and more from the right path, you were not like this before, even if things are not done well, you are down-to-earth and do it step by step, although you have not surprised me, but you are also a reliable person that I feel. ”
The emperor closed his eyes in disappointment: "But look at what you have become now." ”
A reprimand mixed with disappointment made Gu Mo open his mouth, and he was a little speechless.
He suddenly remembered that he had worked hard when the emperor first ascended the throne, and everyone praised him for his diligence, although no one said that he was better than Prince Hua, but his reputation in the court was also extremely high.
When did it start? He gradually focused on Prince Hua, always wanting to compare with him, always wanting to become the most powerful person himself?
"That's it, I don't have anything to say to you, even if you quibble, it's useless." After speaking. The emperor immediately waved his hand at the Imperial Forest Army at the door.
The Imperial Forest Army immediately rushed in and took Gu Mo away.
After Gu Mo was stunned, he suddenly yelled in a panic: "Brother Huang, spare your life!" Brother Huang, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have killed Prince Hua, you give me one last chance!"
"Brother Chen's mind has changed, he won't do such a thing again, I'm your brother!"
"How can you be so ruthless?"
The voice gradually faded away, the imperial study quieted down, and the emperor sat at the table with a complicated face, and did not speak for a long time.
Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan glanced at each other. Only then couldn't help but take two steps forward: "Your Majesty, if you are reluctant to let Prince An end up like this....."
"Don't call him Prince An, he is now a waste, although I feel sorry that he has become like this, I do not regret that I made this holy decree, you don't say it anymore, go back!"
After speaking, the emperor looked at Gu Chenghan again: "Prince An stays." ”
Gu Chenghan nodded, and motioned to the night shadow to send Zhen Chutian out of the palace with his eyes, Zhen Chutian left the palace, and couldn't guess what the emperor said to Gu Chenghan, but when he waited for Gu Chenghan at the palace gate, his face was very complicated, but he had a sense of relief.
