Chapter Seventy-Three: The Birth of a Son

After the Song family got the news that Li Congxin was investigated by Dali Temple, they hurriedly sent Song Zhengrui to visit Gu Huanyi.

Song Zhengrui saw that she looked calm, and knew that Li Congxin might be fine, so he wanted to ask her what the situation was.

"I'm still worried that you're in a hurry, so hurry up and come to see you. But looking at you, I have to ask you what is going on. ”

Gu Huanyi poured tea for his uncle and invited him to sit down and talk.

The Song family didn't know the details of the conspiracy of the Xian Wangfu, so Gu Huanyi sorted out the events of the past few months to him.

"When King Jing tried the case of dereliction of duty by the commander of Xichang, he was involved in the old case. At the beginning, the first prince took Han Bingsan, and it turned out that he was instigated by Jinyiwei and the close ministers of the East Palace! When tracking down how Han Bingsan was sent from Beiyi to the deep palace, it was found out that Yin Qiyue, the former Liangzhou Governor, was involved. Dali Temple interrogated Qi Xian, and his daughter Qi Zhilan suddenly sued the prince of Ming, saying that they were instructed by the prince of Ming. They not only said that the prince instigated the prince to take cold ice powder, but also instigated the prince to blow up the dam and kill the Gu family......"

Song Zhengrui broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

Previously, the outside world had always felt that the fall of the Gu family army was too weird, and the death of the prince was unclear to the outside world, and it was suspected that there was a connection between the two.

This is the first time he has heard such a clear inside story, and the mastermind behind the scenes is Li Congxin?

Gu Huanyi looked at him and froze, and asked, "Uncle, you shouldn't believe it, right?" ”

Song Zhengrui frowned and said: "After listening to this statement, everything is logical, explaining all the previous doubts, but it is a little strange to say that the real murderer is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, many evidence and witnesses are found out by him, right?" ”

Donglin Jun is what he wants to investigate, and Xichang is also what he wants to investigate, if he did it, how could he turn these things that have fallen into the dust again?

Gu Huanyi was very happy that his uncle was so wise, nodded and said, "It sounds very reasonable because of the half-truth." Someone instigated the prince to take poison and blow up the dam, these things should be true, but the person who instigated it was not Li Congxin, but Li Chengxu. ”

Only then did Song Zhengrui understand why the two sons were investigated.

But he asked uneasily: "But Huan'er, does the emperor really not suspect the prince of Ming?" In terms of motives, it is indeed the reason why he is the most harmful to the prince. ”

Gu Huanyi said: "This may be the reason why he resolutely does not want to be an heir, if he intends to fight for the inheritance, I don't know how much dirty water will be splashed on him, so that he can't explain it." ”

Song Zhengrui sat back in his seat, but after the shock, the more he thought about it, the more indignant he became, the fall of the Gu family army was framed!

"Does the prince of Ming have any evidence in his hands? If it was really the son of the virtuous king who did it, he was really a beast, and he would definitely bring this beast to justice! ”

Gu Huanyi said: "Li Chengxu is not difficult to check, but I have not moved before seeing that the prince of the world, I should want to kill the virtuous king." But King Xian is really cunning, and after checking for two years, there is no direct evidence pointing to him, all of which are borrowed from his own son. Now that the little prince is about to give birth, the prince is worried that the little prince will be victimized, and he can't delay it any longer, so he can only get rid of the scourge in front of him first. ”

Gu Huanyi chose to tell Song Zhengrui at this time, first, with various verifications, Li Chengxu's matter was almost clear, and second, she wanted to ask the Song family for help.

"I ran a quyi museum in order to find out the news in Beijing, but I blamed my inexperience and leaked the news, so Li Chengxu noticed it, so I had to close the door in a hurry. During the Chinese New Year, I saw that Zheng was not very young in discipline, but he was very measured, so I wanted to join forces with the Cao Gang and asked my uncle what he meant. ”

It's one thing to do business together, it's another thing to get involved in court battles.

Gu Huanyi didn't know the position of the Cao Gang, so he could only ask Song Zhengrui.

Song Zhengrui was a little surprised and said, "The short-lived Qilin Club was originally opened by you?" You're hiding it tightly. ”

Gu Huanyi said apologetically: "When I first arrived in Dijing last year, the situation was unclear, and I didn't dare to implicate the Song family, so I didn't tell my uncle. ”

Song Zhengrui didn't know about the affairs between King Xian, the crown prince, and Gu Jiajun before, but now that he knows, he understands what Gu Huanyi means.

This time Li Chengxu was investigated, whether he was convicted or not, King Xian would definitely hold a grudge, and Gu Huanyi wanted to guard against King Xian's revenge.

And King Xian is far away in Eastern Wu, and it is very difficult for her to find out the news of King Xian, so if Cao is willing to help, he will help her a lot.

He thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the Cao Gang as soon as possible and discuss this matter with my father-in-law and younger brother in person." ”

Gu Huanyi thanked him solemnly, but Song Zhengrui said with some guilt: "The Gu family has been wronged, such a big matter, but it is an outsider who is helping you to avenge the prince of Ming, and our Song family has not helped at all." ”

Gu Huanyi said, "Why didn't you help me?" I eat and wear on weekdays, you are worrying, the Song family sisters have, none of them will be missing me, although I don't live in one place, but the eldest aunt and the younger aunt often come to see me. Not to mention you, those industries I inherited, if it weren't for your help, where would I be able to do whatever I want in the capital unscrupulously? The Qilin Society lost a few thousand taels of silver to go in, and I'm embarrassed to tell you. You are my most important reliance. ”

Song Zhengrui sighed with emotion, her niece is a person who looks like a mirror in her heart, even if the Song family does everything in the subtleties, she knows it and remembers it.

At the end of April, when the case of the two princes was stalemate, good news came from the palace, Concubine Zhen gave birth to a little prince, Emperor Xuan was overjoyed, and the whole world celebrated.

The women of the imperial capital who had an edict all entered the palace to congratulate, and when Mrs. Fenhou entered the palace, she did not bring her daughter-in-law Qiao Jingyun, but specially brought Gu Huanyi.

Gu Huan was puzzled, and Mrs. Fenhou whispered to her on the way into the palace: "The queen wants to see you." ”

Gu Huanyi was shocked.

The queen wanted to see her, so she did not summon her, but asked Mrs. Fenhou to quietly take her into the palace.

She thought a lot for a while, could it be that Concubine Zhen's mother was poor and expensive, threatening the queen, what plan did the queen have?

Li Congxin didn't want to participate in the battle for inheritance, and she didn't want to get involved in the harem battle, so when she avenged the Gu family's army, she just wanted to be with Li Congxin in peace.

She said to Mrs. Fenhou worriedly: "I didn't know that I wanted to see the queen mother before, wouldn't it be bad to go to see her so boldly?" Why don't you find a chance to meet you officially next time? ”

Mrs. Fenhou smiled: "Don't think about it, it's for your marriage." ”

This time, when Concubine Zhen gave birth to the prince, the full moon ceremony and the first birthday ceremony, the palace will celebrate greatly, which is a good time for King Ming to enter Beijing.

"The emperor has been prevaricating with various reasons before, indicating that it is inappropriate for the king to enter Beijing for personal matters, and now for the sake of the prince's affairs, the emperor must have nothing to say." Mrs. Fenhou said: "The prince of Ming asked the queen earlier, and the mother has always wanted to see you. But there has been no chance before and after the Qingming Festival, this time you don't have to be nervous. ”

Gu Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him, "I'm really ashamed to let so many elders bother for our business. ”

Mrs. Fenhou sighed: "If Princess Ming is still alive, where is there so much trouble, the emperor has approved your marriage early in the morning." ”

It was the first time Gu Huanyi had heard outsiders talk about Li Congxin's mother, and although she was a little curious, she couldn't help but ask.

Uncle told her before that Princess Ming was the wife of a criminal minister before marrying King Ming, and King Ming even gave up the throne for her.

She can't ask outsiders about these old things, if there is a need to know, she will ask Li Congxin in the future.
