Chapter 102: In-depth Investigation
Gu Xiqian, who was in prison, was still thinking about this matter, but when she hadn't figured it out yet, she saw two jailers walking out, looking at them with some confusion when they opened the lock.
"Brother Bing, what's going on?"
"County Lord, you're fine, the emperor has specially ordered you to let you go." The jailer said lightly.
"Huh??"
Later, Gu Xiqian asked them for news, but learned that the emperor suspected Mo Xun, but the jailers didn't tell her more, as if they didn't know.
When he got out of the prison, he saw that Mo Xuanyin was already waiting for him at the door, and he was a little moved in his heart.
"Are you alright?" Mo Xuanyin asked a little indifferently.
"I can't die." Seeing his attitude, Gu Xiqian suddenly lost her mood, how could anyone treat a person who had just come out with such an attitude?
Obviously, Mo Xuanyin didn't notice her thoughts, because he himself couldn't be busy.
"You go back and have a good rest first, I still have something to investigate, and Liuyun will come to pick you up later." After Mo Xuanyin finished speaking, she was about to leave, and she didn't seem to have any intention of sending her back.
Gu Xiqian was a little lost, she had just come out, and her greeting tone was so cold, and now she had to let her go home alone in order to investigate things, which would not be easy for anyone.
However, she also understood that the matter that Mo Xuanyin wanted to investigate must be very serious.
After a while, Liuyun walked over, looking at her expression, thinking that she was late.
"County Lord, I'm sorry, I'm late, so I'll keep you waiting..."
"Let's go, let's go back!" Gu Xiqian yelled, Liuyun was a little puzzled, he would have such a big temper when he was late?
The next day, Mo Xuanyin went out to the morning court, Gu Xiqian was a little bored, and when she wanted to go out for a walk, she was stopped by Liuyun.
"The county lord, the prince has an order, and he can't let you out."
Gu Xiqian was a little puzzled, could it be that Mo Xuanyin was investigating something dangerous?
"Get out of the way, or I'm welcome!" Gu Xiqian warned.
However, Liuyun still did not back down, but aroused Gu Xiqian's curiosity.
"Then tell me, what has Mo Xuanyin been investigating recently, is it related to me?"
After a stalemate, Liuyun began to explain.
"Actually, the prince was investigating the emperor's poisoning that night recently, because at that time, he used the tribute of the guests at the banquet before, so the prince has long been suspicious of this, because there were rumors that the county lord was poisoned before, so at that time, the emperor may think that you are going to poison someone."
Gu Xiqian was a little puzzled, although the person who wanted to harm herself was Gu Miaoxuan, but she had already avoided herself, why would anyone know about it?
However, since he said so, then apart from himself, the only person who knew about this matter was Gu Miaoxuan.
"This slut, I haven't reported her yet, and she is the first to attack." Gu Xiqian said with some resentment.
"Later, someone suggested that someone personally poured wine for himself at that time, and this person was the prince of Yan Guo, the other party may have secretly poured the medicine into the wine when the emperor was not paying attention, and then let the emperor drink it, so now the prince of Yan Guo has been arrested, and it is estimated that he has been imprisoned now." Liuyun sighed.
sighed, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but there are too many doubts in it, which makes this matter not simple.
"Liuyun, you accompany me to the prison, I want to see the prince of Yan Guo." Gu Xiqian said.
Although Liuyun was a little opposed, he still couldn't resist Gu Xiqian's flickering.
"Don't worry, I won't look into this matter, I just want to know about the situation."
Liuyun agreed half-pushed, and the two then went to the prison.
Under the leadership of the jailer, the two came to a cell in the prison, only to see Mo Xun eating and drinking inside, not even wearing a prison uniform, not looking like he was in prison.
"It seems that I am still worried in vain." Take care of the coriander forehead.
Liuyun looked at such a scene, and was also a little embarrassed, after all, she had never seen anyone in prison like him.
"Shizi, someone has come to see you!" The jailer politely reported.
Hearing that someone came to visit him, Mo Xun was a little puzzled, because he and his accompanying ministers had already been locked up, and who else would come to see him at this time.
When he saw Gu Xiqian, he was stunned for a while and came back to his senses, "County Lord, are you coming to see me?" It's really touching, you still have mine. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand excitedly.
"Uh... Shizi, I'm just here to learn something from you. Gu Xiqian said embarrassedly.
"What do you want to know? Who I am, or who I am? It's not the place to talk either. ”
Mo Xun looked at the jailer on the side, and the other party naturally opened the door for them, sent them in politely, and then left.
"I came this time to ask you about the fact that the emperor was poisoned that night." Gu Xiqian said straight to the point.
Mo Xun was a little disappointed when he heard it, but he was moved when he thought that she was doing this for himself, so he talked about what happened at that time.
At the dinner, after the proposal was put on hold, Mo Xun was in a bad mood, but thinking about looking at Gu Xiqian and Mo Xuanyin opposite, he felt a little uncomfortable.
After the emperor finished toasting, the minister next to him proposed to himself.
"Your Royal Highness, your proposal has made the emperor's face a little bad, it is better to show it now, as long as the dragon face is happy, maybe things will turn around."
Mo Xun nodded, feeling that what the minister said made some sense, so he thought about pouring wine for the emperor in person to show his sincerity, but when he picked up the wine jug, he found that the wine jug on his seat was out of wine, which made him a little embarrassed.
"His Royal Highness, there is wine in Weichen's wine jug." The minister next to him immediately handed over the flask and said.
Looking at the wine jug handed over by the minister, Mo Xun deliberately shook it a few times, so he stepped forward.
I saw that when I poured wine, looking at the emperor's expression, Mo Xun felt that he had a play with Gu Xiqian, so he said a few more good words, and also asked his ministers to pour it for the emperor, and he would not go until there was no more wine in the wine jug.
However, he himself didn't know that such a thing would happen after the emperor drank it, and it was already poured at that time, so it was considered dead and unproven.
After Gu Xiqian listened, he felt that there was something wrong with the minister who handed the wine to Mo Xun, but when he asked Mo Xun, he didn't know who the other party was.
It turned out that when Mo Xun went to Nanyue Kingdom, in order to avoid trouble when Mo Xun arrived, King Yan changed another group of ministers to accompany him, as for the identities of those ministers, Mo Xun himself was not clear.
Before leaving, King Yan also specially told himself that it was his father's person, and Mo Xun didn't ask much.
Now that the clues are all on the minister, Gu Xiqian did not investigate them immediately, but left with Gu Xiqian.
"County Lord, are you leaving now? Finally meet and don't talk for a while? ”
"Then I'll wait until you go out, do you think, this is the place to talk?" Gu Xiqian smiled faintly, and then left the cell.
That smile gave Mo Xun infinite imagination.
Gu Xiqian wanted to ask the ministers who accompanied her, but she was afraid of startling the snakes, so she didn't ask.
Moreover, he promised Liuyun not to get involved in these things, if he really asked, he would probably be forcibly taken away by Liuyun.
After going back, Gu Xiqian was thinking about whether it would be Gu Miaoxuan's hand, but this idea was quickly rejected, because they had just met, and Gu Miaoxuan and the priest had no chance to do it at all, so it was possible that Yan Guo wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on the emperor.
Thinking about it, Gu Xiqian really couldn't think of any reason, and she was not particularly familiar with the relationship between Yan and Nanyue, if something happened this time, she naturally didn't know.
After a while, I saw Mo Xuanyin walk in with some anger, but before she could speak, he said so.
"Didn't I tell you not to look into those things? Why are you so restless and don't think you can squat enough in prison? ”
"I'm all for..."
"I'll take care of this matter myself, you don't have to worry, if something happens to you, I can't take care of it." Mo Xuanyin said with some embarrassment.
When Gu Xiqian wanted to say something, she saw that Mo Xuanyin's expression was a little haggard, and she couldn't say anything she wanted to refute just now.
"I went to Mo Xun today, and I asked him about the dinner that day." Gu Xiqian explained.
Mo Xuanyin suddenly became interested, because when he went to ask Mo Xun, he didn't want to say a word, and he was helpless.
Although he had explained many times, Mo Xun regarded him as a rival in love, and even thought that it was Mo Xuanyin asking him for news.
Seeing Mo Xun treat people like this, sometimes he cursed him for squatting for a little longer, of course it was a joke.
After listening to what Gu Xiqian said, Mo Xuanyin also pondered, in this way, the target would be those ministers.
However, what he couldn't understand was why the minister wanted to use Mo Xun's identity as the prince to attack the emperor? and instigated Mo Xun to pour wine in front of so many people.
And what he cares about most is, who is the other party?
"In this way, King Yan's envoy this time is probably for ulterior motives." Mo Xuanyin sighed.
"As the saying goes, tiger poison doesn't eat children, but when King Yan makes such a fuss, he is simply pushing his prince into the fire pit? Will this be..."Gu Xiqian was also a little surprised, after all, this matter was too careful to think about and was extremely scary.
However, Mo Xuanyin also has a direction, at least the target does not need to be placed on Mo Xun.
The next morning, the emperor first gave Gu Xiqian condolences and rewards, and just when Mo Xuanyin thought that the early dynasty was over, he saw the emperor suddenly speak, and the faces of the people present suddenly changed a little ugly.
