Chapter Forty-Six: Looking Back

Li Congxin hugged Gu Huanyi, his mood couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking of the hard years when he and Gu Huanyi walked side by side in his previous life......

In his previous life, when the emperor first proposed to choose an heir, he was naturally selected as the heir to the throne because of his succession and good reputation.

But on the way to Beijing to attend his son's ceremony, the carriage overturned into the lake and died.

Li Congxin was haunted by the death of King Ming, and felt that things were really strange, and under investigation, many clues pointed to the emperor!

Although there is no empirical evidence, Li Congxin has become estranged from the emperor, he contradicts the emperor everywhere, questions the emperor's words and deeds, and the relationship between father and son is becoming more and more estranged.

After Concubine Zhen gave birth to the prince, the relationship between father and son fell to the freezing point.

Li Congxin was unwilling to recognize the thief as his father, so he offered to return the heir to the sect.

The emperor was also disappointed in him, and quickly agreed to his request.

At that time, King Ming had died, and Li Congxin should inherit the title and become the new King of Ming, but the emperor has been pressing and refusing to send it, which has kept him in an extremely embarrassing situation.

So when Li Congxin met Gu Huanyi, it was his lowest point.

Li Congxin secretly investigated the emperor through Wu Lie, who was already the governor of Xichang at that time, because of the death of King Ming, and accidentally learned the real cause of death of the former prince Li Yuhe who died after taking cold ice powder, and General Gu was investigating the prince before his death.

Li Congxin was already suspicious of the emperor, and after learning about the Gu family, he was even more suspicious, and he wanted to join forces with Gu Huanyi to investigate the truth, so he looked for an opportunity to get close to her.

In the careful temptation, the two gradually established trust, and Li Congxin also knew that Gu Huanyi married Li Chengxu in order to investigate the destruction of the Gu family.

After exchanging clues, the truth of the Gu family's army gradually surfaced - everything was a conspiracy designed by King Xian to get rid of the crown prince!

King Xian's father and son are determined to take the throne, and they will get rid of all stumbling blocks by any means.

Extrapolating in turn and looking back on the past, Li Congxin suspected that Li Yuhe was not the only one who was poisoned by King Xian's father and son!

The death of the first three princes and the death of his father seem to be inextricably linked to King Xian......

However, King Xian is meticulous, and it is extremely difficult to find clues from the conspiracy that has ended, so he can only take precautions and fortify in advance.

If their reasoning is correct, the next person to be persecuted is the little prince of the concubine.

In order to find evidence, Li Congxin and Gu Huanyi began to pay attention to the movements in the palace.

But one of them is a person who is rejected by the emperor, and the other is just a humble concubine and cannot get in touch with the prince of the concubine.

The little prince died of choking when he was one year old, which seemed unexpected but expected, and once again verified their conjecture.

Just when they found the important witness of the maid who served the little prince who had escaped by fraud, Li Chengxu also noticed the investigation and relationship between Gu Huanyi and Li Congxin......

In order to control Gu Huanyi and force Li Congxin to hand over his witness, Li Chengxu fed Gu Huanyi cold ice.

Gu Huanyi didn't want to be a hostage, and he didn't want to watch himself gradually lose his self-control, and finally hang himself because he was tortured.

And Li Congxin also lost due to the general trend, and finally lost in the confrontation with Li Chengxu......

Li Congxin remembered these things in his previous life, and guilt, sadness, anger, and unwillingness came to his mind again.

He took a deep breath and controlled his thoughts.

In this life, because he knew the truth about the destruction of the Gu family, he used the investigation of the cold ice to make Li Yuhe confess to the emperor before he died, and he had to be innocent of the Gu family.

At the same time, he refused the right to inherit, and King Ming did not answer the call to Beijing, delaying the time of his father's murder.

And Yang Xin, who he placed next to Li Chengxu, was also very competitive, and stole a confidential roster of Li Chengxu, and Li Congxin found that an old relative next to his father turned out to be King Xian's person!

In his previous life, it was this close entourage who admonished him after his father's death, explaining that the king's death was related to the emperor, which caused him to have a gap with the emperor.

Now it seems that the death of his father in his previous life must have been committed by King Xian, and he blamed the emperor, so as to separate the father-son relationship between him and the emperor!

It is suspected that since it has been confirmed, now that Concubine Zhen is pregnant, Li Chengxu will definitely make a move.

The clues on the Lin family's side are broken, and if you want to investigate King Xian's father and son, you can only start from Concubine Zhen.

Gu Huanyi looked up from her arms, a little puzzled by how the person who was excited just now because she said "I like you" gradually became solemn and deep.

She said a little unhappily: "What do you think so distractedly? ”

When the two of them were distracted, Li Congxin also felt very sorry, and comforted: "I think of some important things and want to discuss with you." ”

Gu Huanyi nodded, putting aside his little emotions and listening to him.

"Brother Wu Lie went to Chalin Youhai, but I don't know if there will be a result, we can't sit still, we need to think of other ways."

Gu Huanyi agreed very much, she arranged eyeliner in the capital, and she thought so.

Li Congxin continued: "If it is really King Xian's father and son who murdered the crown prince and your father, they are going to the throne. Now that Concubine Zhen is pregnant, their mother and son are the thorns in the eyes of King Xian, we need to investigate from Concubine Zhen, maybe we can get something. ”

Gu Huanyi asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Congxin said: "I have some eyeliner in the palace, and I heard that the relationship between Concubine Zhen and King Xian is not as good as before. Concubine Zhen wants to leave the connections in her hands to the unborn prince, and the Fang family is what she must fight for. But the Fang family secretly discussed with the Xian Wangfu before, and if Li Chengxu became the heir, he would marry Fang Yurong. This matter has also been shelved with the matter of the heir at this time, and the three of them are testing each other, and this is our opportunity. ”

Gu Huanyi immediately asked, "Do you want to use a beautiful man to separate Fang Yurong?" No way! ”

Li Congxin smiled: "Of course not, I can't do such a thing." ”

Gu Huanyi snorted softly, waiting for him to continue to say his thoughts.

"You haven't visited Princess Miaohua since you entered Beijing, have you?"

Gu Huanyi is not a rude person, after she entered Beijing, she gave thank you gifts to those who had helped her and cared for her.

Officials such as Lord Zhuoding of the Ministry of Rites received heavy thanks.

Before, Concubine Zhen helped Li Chengxu ask to marry Gu Huanyi as a concubine, and Gu Huanyi, as a party, was despised by the two of them, and she should be angry, so she did not submit a letter of worship to the palace and the prince of Xianwang.

Li Congxin said: "In today's situation, we may be able to enlist the support of Concubine Zhen and Princess Miaohua." ”

Gu Huanyi understood what he meant, so he said, "I know, I'll take care of Princess Miaohua's side." ”

Li Congxin didn't want him to work too hard, but the matter between women was indeed not something he could do personally.

Gu Huanyi pondered and said: "I have opened a few new shops in the capital, among which there is a quyi hall called Qilin Society that opened on the tenth day of the first month of winter, so I will take this opportunity to take Princess Miaohua out of the palace and sit down." ”
