"Your Majesty, whether this matter is instigated by Lord Liu, the lower official doesn't know, but the lower official's sister is now being locked up by him, I don't know where in the prison, the lower official has gone to ask for people many times, Lord Liu neither gave the lower official's sister a clear charge, nor did he let the lower official see his sister, which really made the lower official very suspicious."

Hearing this, Shen Zhongbai frowned, during the day today, Liu Chucai sent someone over to report, saying that he had found the real culprit who spread the rumors before and the mastermind behind it, he didn't know that Gu Suran was Gu Yan, could it be that he really pulled Gu Suran to take on this charge?

"What you mean by what you are saying now is, Lord Liu, who put Gu Yan in prison under the pretext of investigating the case?"

"I don't know what the matter is, but the emperor, the sister of the lower official is miserable enough, first lost her husband, and then suffered so much in the palace, and finally picked up a life, although I still have to suffer like this, I really can't stand it as an elder brother, no matter whether my sister has made any mistakes, whether the emperor can forgive him, the lower officials already feel that it doesn't matter, but please also ask the emperor to give us an exact statement, if my sister really makes any mistakes, the lower officials will not tolerate it, But if Lord Liu chooses to bend into a trick and let his sister suffer so much pain for no reason, please ask the emperor and Lord Liu to give us an explanation. ”

Does Liu Chu really have such courage? To be honest, until now, Shen Zhongbai couldn't believe that this matter was true, he had always thought that although Liu Chu was a little more greedy than others, it would not be enough to do such a thing, even if it was for the sake of making a difference, it was completely unnecessary to embarrass an irrelevant person.

"I will investigate this matter clearly, I don't know if these things have anything to do with you, so don't interfere for the time being, I will ask a good person what is the situation of this matter? But until then, you can't act rashly. ”

Shen Zhongbai didn't expect that Liu Chu was really so bold, but Gu Huai'an had always been not very good at dealing with himself, and there must be some special reason for choosing to come to him at this time, after all, he would not be idle and enter the palace to find himself comfortable, it seems that something really happened to Gu Yan's side, Liu Chu didn't know that Gu Suran was not Gu Suliang's younger brother, plus there have been too many things that have happened in a row for a period of time.

Liu Chu is indeed likely to directly hand over all the charges to Lingyin Pavilion, and he also knows that he has always looked at Lingyin Pavilion unpleasantly, no one knows the reason, but he also knows that if he can get rid of Lingyin Pavilion, it can be regarded as saving himself a lot of trouble, but he didn't think that Liu Chu hurt the person he didn't want to hurt the most.

"Let's send Master Gu back to the house first." Gu Huai'an is already here, I don't know how long it has been raining, his lips are already a little pale, and the weather is no longer like it

It was so hot before, the rain at this time can be big or small, and it is difficult for doctors to heal themselves, plus Qingping has now left the capital, if he is really sick, I am afraid that there is really no one around Gu Yan who can take care of her.

"Prepare the horse immediately, and I will go to the mansion of the military department now."

The news that Gu Huai'an was kneeling at the door of the study soon spread, Shen Yuehua was in the palace, naturally she was the first person to get the news, although she didn't know what the current situation was, but she still guessed that it was possible that Gu Huai'an did something to make Shen Zhongbai unhappy, so he was punished to kneel in that place.

But I didn't think about it, it was because of other things, but it was a pity that I was in a hurry in the palace alone, for fear that Gu Huai'an did something to make Shen Zhongbai angry, if it continued like this, Shen Zhongbai was afraid that he would really be punished.

He was just a princess who had lost her protection a long time ago, and in front of the emperor, he couldn't say anything now, let alone be able to save him, he was a little scared, but there was no other way, he searched for all the people in this palace, and finally thought of Shen Qiangrose.

Shen Qiangrose had already arranged people outside the palace to help her find out the news, so this time she already knew what happened to Gu Yan, and when Shen Yuehua came to her, she was indeed a little shocked, because she didn't expect that this matter would involve Shen Yuehua.

"Princess, what are you doing here?"

After Shen Yuehua saw Shen Qiangrose, she immediately knelt down, she knew that Shen Qiangrose now had an extraordinary status in Shen Zhongbai's heart, if she was willing to come forward, even if Gu Huai'an really made any mistakes? Maybe there's a silver lining.

"Lord Gu is kneeling at the door of the study now, I don't know what mistakes I have made recently, can I ask the concubine to do me a favor?"

In fact, even if Shen Yuehua didn't say it, Shen Qiangrose was ready to take her token and let her subordinates take a look at what was going on, but seeing Shen Yuehua like this, she still couldn't bear to deceive her.

"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to worry now, even if Lord Gu kneels at the door of the emperor's study, it doesn't mean that Lord Gu has done something wrong, maybe it's just to intercede for others, maybe it's not enough."

Shen Qiangrose couldn't say it too clearly, so she could only say it here, there would not be one thing that was still obvious, the person in front of her must have some special feelings for Gu Huai'an, otherwise, she would not have come to her to intercede with tears.

"Really? So what should I do here now? ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the princess, but in fact, it may have something to do with you, didn't Lord Gu help you solve the marriage contract before? I don't know if it has anything to do with these things now, so I'll take mine

Token, send someone to investigate outside the palace, the princess will stay here first, don't be impatient, I think with Lord Gu's intelligence, there should be no problem. ”

Shen Qiangrose actually didn't know what was happening now, but it was certain that this matter should have nothing to do with Gu Huai'an, and it should be Gu Yan who suffered.

After comforting Shen Yuehua, Shen Qiangrose still let her people take the token and went out of the palace, hoping to find out what happened, after all, Gu Yan is her partner, so if something goes wrong on her side, it is difficult to guarantee that her side will not be implicated.

Shen Zhongbai suddenly came to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, Liu Chu was not prepared, Liu Chu obviously did not expect it, after all, he always thought that after Gu Suran rejected the marriage of the royal family at that time, after putting aside the identity of the concubine, he was just an ordinary businessman, not to mention that now his brother is not in the capital, this is in the capital, except for Gu Huai'an, there is no one who can protect him at all, but he didn't expect this matter, or it alarmed the emperor.

"Why did the emperor have the kung fu to come to the official's mansion today, is he here to be a guest? Xiaguan happened to have newly obtained tea here, and the housekeeper hurried to make a pot of hot tea. ”

"There's no need for hot tea, I want to ask, Lord Liu is giving you Gu Huai'an's time to investigate the truth of who's it, did you just find a scapegoat? To perfunctory? ”

Shen Zhongbai wasn't sure that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Huai'an, but it was definitely not his original intention to involve Gu Yan, not to mention, Liu Chu didn't know that Gu Suran was Gu Yan's matter, and with his means, no one could say for sure if he would do anything to Gu Suran.

"Your Majesty, what are these words? The person caught by the lower official is naturally the prisoner who did this thing, how could it be that he was found casually, but the lower official has solid evidence that can prove that he did this thing. ”

"Really? Then Lord Liu, you might as well show me all the evidence in your hand, and let me see what is the reason why you have arrested the second young master of the Gusu family now. ”

"The emperor is not very good, the little son of the Gusu family has not yet confessed, so he temporarily locked it in his hands after work, if the emperor goes to that place, it is inevitable that he will feel that the emperor is here to save him, wouldn't he even more confess."

"Then what does Lord Liu mean that I will ignore the results of Lord Liu's investigation because of a person I once knew?"

Shen Zhongbai's only thought now was to be able to see Gu Yan as soon as possible, and seeing Liu Chu cowering like this now, his heart was even more uncomfortable, for fear that Liu Chu would lynch Gu Yan when he was away.

"This can also be seen, but this Gusu son refuses to admit himself

For what has been done, the lower officials have used some special means, and the emperor should not blame the subordinates, after all, the military department has always handled cases like this, and there has never been an exception. ”

After listening to Liu Chu's words, Shen Zhongbai almost understood, it seems that Gu Yan, who has been arrested in the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion for several hours, thinks that she has already received all kinds of punishments from the Ministry of War, but she has a poor body, can she withstand such a punishment?

"Then why don't you hurry up and bring someone over, is it difficult, is it difficult to wait for me to go in person?" Shen Zhongbai was really angry at this moment, he didn't expect that Liu Chu would really dare to lynch people without evidence, it seems that he usually knows too little about him, and he never thought that he would be such a person.

"Your Majesty, this is the rule of the Ministry of War, and it has not changed for so many years, is it a bit of a fuss for the emperor to do this?"
