Chapter 69: Gu Xiqian is released from prison

Seeing that the emperor cooperated with the Lin family, it means that the emperor knows about the Lin family, and there is even such a possibility, the emperor and the Lin family cooperated to frame Gu Xiqian, and even the Lin family may have been instructed by the emperor to do so.

Thinking of this, Mo Xuanyin felt that the matter was not something he could handle, and now he needed more evidence, otherwise there would be no way to avenge Gu Xiqian.

"Listen, if anyone knows about today's events, I guarantee that you will be the next person to go to prison." After saying that, he left.

Back in the Shizi Mansion, Mo Xuanyin has been thinking about why the emperor would target Gu Xiqian so much? Was it just because she rejected the marriage at that time?

Even if he refuses, there is no need to do this, and the Lin family has always had entanglements with Gu Xiqian, which is a well-known thing, so why does the emperor have to come to participate in this matter?

And just because he refused to marry once, he was framed like this, which was inevitably a bit child's play, but Mo Xuanyin believed that there was a deeper reason for all this.

The next day, Mo Xuanyin entered the palace to ask for peace, saw the emperor, and asked curiously.

"Actually, I didn't intend to harm Gu Xiqian, but because of the big stakes, I had to deal with it impartially, not to mention, she refused to marry you before, which made me lose face."

Mo Xuanyin looked surprised when he saw the emperor answer like this, although he also knew that the emperor was avoiding this, but seeing that the emperor also didn't care about this matter, he was also a little helpless.

After going back, Mo Xuanyin began to think about it according to Gu Xiqian's identity, so there was only one reason why the emperor did this, without affecting the reputation of the emperor, suppressing the power of the emperor.

In other words, such a thing will happen again in the future, and it will even be more serious, and now it is just using the Lin family to suppress it, and the emperor is just pushing the boat.

However, seeing that he now looked like he was ignoring it, it was a good opportunity for him, so he continued to investigate.

The next day, Mo Xuanyin came to Gu's mansion, and under the prompting of Jinzhu, Mo Xuanyin found a subordinate, only to see her sneakily hiding something.

"Actually, I've seen her sneakily hiding something these days, and sometimes she goes out when no one is around, but I haven't noticed that she's hiding anything." Jinzhu said with some regret.

For Mo Xuanyin, this was good news, so he asked Jinzhu to go over and break people up, and then took the opportunity to walk over, only to see something surprising in the haystack.

"It's... Scarecrow? ”

They were all shocked to see a few scarecrows placed inside the haystack, each with red paper with nothing written on it.

"So you're the murderer!"

At this time, I saw the maid who had just hidden the scarecrow walking back, and when she saw Mo Xuanyin take out the scarecrow in the haystack, she immediately knelt down in fright.

"Your Royal Highness, please listen to me!"

I saw Mo Xuanyin take out the scarecrow and said excitedly: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you want to say?" If there is anything to talk about in the yamen, someone will take it away! ”

Hearing that the murderer had been caught, the emperor excitedly brought the person to the main hall for trial.

Although it was in the main hall, this time it was still under the witness of no officials.

At this time, after hearing the news of the murderer in the cell, Gu Xiqian suddenly became excited and followed her father-in-law to the main hall.

Mo Xuanyin also prepared physical evidence and human evidence, and waited for the emperor's trial in the main hall.

The maid who came up on her back was still reluctant to admit her guilt, knowing that she saw Gu Xiqian, who was also brought up, she was suddenly so frightened that she couldn't speak.

The scars on her body could be faintly visible from her scattered hair, blood-stained clothes, and exposed hands and feet, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

I saw Gu Xiqian turn her head to look at the other party, even if she didn't look at each other directly, it would make the other party feel a chill, and her body was trembling.

"Xuanyin, this is the prisoner you found?" The emperor asked.

I saw Mo Xuanyin clapping his hands, and a soldier walked in with a plate with a few scarecrows on it, "This is the scarecrow I found in Gu's mansion, and this maid was putting something in the grass at that time, so I went up to check it out of curiosity, and I found these things." ”

I saw that the scarecrow presented it, and the emperor looked at it carefully for a while, so he patted the case and said: "Bold criminal, do you still want to die after harming the prince?" ”

"Wronged, those scarecrows don't know who put them here for me, and I was just found when I took them and threw them away." The maid shook her head and said.

"Bold criminals still dare to quibble, I still have witnesses here!" After Mo Xuanyin finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and saw that in the main hall, a Jinzhu dressed as a maid like her walked in.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I can testify for the prince, when His Royal Highness and I were investigating the matter, we saw her, and I didn't know what she was doing in the haystack outside, so His Royal Highness the prince asked me to go over and break people up, and when I came back, I saw that His Royal Highness the prince was already questioning her." Jinzhu knelt down and said.

When the maid heard this, she immediately shook her head, "Your Majesty, these are all framed by someone, please let the emperor know about it." ”

"Now that the human and material evidence is present, what else do you have to say, come on, bring it to me." The emperor said on the spot.

At this time, two soldiers walked in from outside the door and took the maid who was still shouting, and Jinzhu immediately saluted and left the main hall when he saw this.

Seeing that the matter was over, Gu Xiqian fell to the ground weakly, and in a daze, she saw Mo Xuanyin running over and helping herself.

I don't know how long it took, but when Gu Xiqian opened her eyes, she was already in the room, and there was an imperial doctor beside her.

"I'm here..."

When the imperial doctor heard that Gu Xiqian had woken up, he relieved himself to let go of the hand holding the pulse.

"Your Royal Highness, Miss Gu is fine, as long as she takes it off and rests, she will naturally get better, as for the wounds on her body..."The imperial doctor was suddenly a little difficult to explain.

"You go back for me, find a medicine that can recover, anything." Mo Xuanyin said.

When the imperial doctor heard this, he immediately prescribed the medicine and then packed up and left the room.

"You have a good rest, about the things behind this case, the emperor will compensate at that time, you have a good rest." With that, he left the room.

Although she wanted to stop Mo Xuanyin, the injuries on her body made her speechless in pain, so she had to lie on the bed obediently.

A few days later, Gu Xiqian was already able to get out of bed and walk, only to see that when she came to the main hall, she suddenly saw the emperor personally come to visit with a generous gift.

"See the emperor!" Gu Xiqian immediately saluted, but the wound on her body made her a little difficult to salute.

"Excuse me, if you are injured, these etiquettes will be waived, I am here to visit you, be careful here, please smile." The emperor said.

Of course, Gu Xiqianmei understood these words, when the emperor said that he laughed, he really couldn't accept it, and once he accepted it, the matter would be over.

"These are all the best supplements I have selected in the treasury, and there are also 10,000 taels of gold, thousands of cloths, and dozens of subordinates." The emperor introduced excitedly.

Looking at the emperor's expression, Gu Xiqian felt that something was wrong, and those subordinates didn't look as simple as subordinates.

"The emperor's kindness has been received in my heart, as for the words of the subordinates, the people in the house are enough, thank you for the emperor's grace."

Gu Xiqian accepted the gift but didn't accept it, so the emperor's expression changed slightly, "Eh... In this way, then leave two of them, and the rest of the people will be changed to a thousand taels of silver, is that good? ”

Seeing that the emperor made concessions, Gu Xiqian had no choice but to agree, "Thank you, Emperor, may the emperor be graceful and bless the world." ”

"It's a good sentence of the emperor's grace, blessing the world, let me be a guest in the house again today, and discuss with Miss Gu, okay?"

The emperor suddenly became interested, so he naturally wanted to entertain him.

After finally sending the emperor away, Gu Xiqian felt a little uneasy, it seemed that the emperor's purpose for coming over this time was not pure.

Unconsciously, it was already dark, and Gu Xiqian was looking at the moonlight in the pavilion, thinking about the purpose of the emperor's coming over this time.

Generally speaking, no matter how important the reward is, the emperor will rarely be present, and it is usually the father-in-law who comes to announce it with a holy decree, or sends someone to come with a gift.

Even if the general wins the battle, he will only receive the emperor's personal greeting when he enters the palace to face the saint, let alone go to the palace.

"What did the emperor mean by coming back this time?"

When Gu Xiqian, who was a little bored, was about to go back to the room, she suddenly saw two figures sneaking around, so she immediately followed.

However, after a while, the two figures immediately disappeared into the darkness, and Gu Xiqian was so frightened that he didn't care about going any further.

"It's strange, who doesn't go to sleep at such a late hour?"

Gu Xiqian then hid aside, but after a while, two figures walked out, and they were the subordinates arranged by the emperor today.

Seeing that they were a little flustered, Gu Xiqian immediately walked up, "What are you doing here?" ”

After the two subordinates saw Gu Xiqian, they were immediately frightened, "It turned out to be Miss, it's so late, I'm really scared to death." One of them said, clutching his chest.

"Then you two are sneaking around here, isn't it scary?" Gu Xiqian said.

I saw that the two of them were a little embarrassed and said: "We are going to relieve our hands, and then when we come back, we can't find the way, we are also here for the first time, just now the two of us are looking for toilets everywhere." ”

With such an explanation, Gu Xiqian didn't say anything, just asked them to go back to rest, and the two went back to the room like oil on the soles of their feet.

At this time, a breeze suddenly blew around, and Gu Xiqian was a little uneasy, and immediately returned to the room.

However, all the things that happened today made it impossible for her to sleep.
