Chapter 822: Confession
Gu Siye seriously taught Gu Yao the way of laziness.
"The more you live, the more comfortable you become, the more chic you are, not because you are smart enough, nor because you often talk about your intuitive acuity, but because you have self-knowledge and never do things that you can't do."
Gu Yao was unconvinced and whispered: "I don't dare to agree with what you said, you forgot that you just dug a pit for His Royal Highness the Prince." How many people dare not do what they can't do, not only did you do it, but you are safe and sound, in fact, father, you have always been very bold. ”
"Master, it was an unconscious injury, do you understand? Ye is by no means an enemy of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Gu Siye quibbled.
"Anyway, this matter is not something that our Gu family can interfere in."
Gu Yao sat down and put the crushed paper back together, and asked, "Will Your Majesty believe it?" ”
"Why don't you believe it?" Gu Siye replied: "Concealing this matter is the biggest sin, and if you turn over the wrong things that Your Majesty wants to forget, no matter what our intentions are, it will not be good." ”
"Your Majesty actually doesn't want to mention the Duchess of Zhenguo, but he loves Marquis Lu very much."
Gu Siye recalled what Emperor Longqing had said when he was drinking with Emperor Longqing, "Lord has always been very curious about how Hou Ye Lu managed to make His Majesty spoil him, and he is even more curious about what is the reason for the maintenance and kindness of Duke Zhenguo to Hou Ye Lu." ”
"But the lord didn't dare to ask, and even when His Majesty was drunk, he didn't dare to mention the matter, even if His Majesty didn't intend to say a few words, the lord didn't hear it, and deliberately diverted the topic."
"You've worked so hard." Gu Yao praised Gu Siye, "You did the right thing, this matter is a scar on the people in their bureau, and it is not good for anyone to touch it,"
When she looked up again, she had already put together the paper balls and handed them to Gu Siye, "Are you going to see Your Majesty now?" ”
"Are you a fool?" Gu Siye replied dissatisfiedly: "The two princes are still kneeling outside the imperial study, the emperor is angry, how far is the lord hiding at this time, he definitely doesn't dare to touch the wall, and when His Majesty's anger is almost out to His Royal Highness, it is not too late for the lord to go over." ”
Gu Yao said: "You are getting smarter and smarter, and you know how to use His Royal Highness the Prince to make His Majesty put out the fire......"
"Don't talk nonsense, you don't!" A touch of pride flashed in the corner of Gu Siye's eyes: "Is the master a foreign minister, no matter how much Your Majesty favors the lord, can you go past the prince?" ”
"After the lord provoked His Majesty, he was either beaten or imprisoned in the prison, but His Royal Highness the prince was just punished and kneeled, this is the difference between the minister and the prince."
"Yaoyao, don't look at Your Majesty is very strict with the princes, and reprimand them at every turn, but there is a sentence that is deep in love and responsibility, Your Majesty will not let the prince be bullied by foreign ministers, as long as His Royal Highness the prince has never really had the intention of rebellion, His Majesty will not easily touch the prince."
Gu Siye babbled a lot to Gu Yao about Emperor Longqing's preferences, "These things, you keep them in mind, and you can use them in the future." ”
In the imperial study, after Emperor Longqing approved a stack of folds, he put down the red pen and looked out.
The fourth prince and the eighth prince knelt straight in the scorching sun, and Concubine De was already shaky and almost fainted.
She leaned on the Eighth Prince, barely maintaining a kneeling position.
Emperor Longqing sighed, "Let them in." ”
"Yes."
The chief eunuch personally ran out to spread the message of Emperor Longqing.
But in a moment, the fourth prince took the lead, and the eighth prince helped Concubine De into the imperial study.
The mother and son are clearly distinguished, the eighth prince has a deep relationship with Concubine De's mother and son, but the fourth prince kneels alone, quite alienated from Concubine De's demeanor.
Emperor Longqing sighed again, "Have you three ever figured it out?" ”
"Concubine De, I have always believed in you, thought that you were a virtuous person, and let you take virtue as your title, but you lived up to my expectations, knowing that the eighth child was deceived by a woman with bad character, and even ignored it, and secretly deceived me for her."
"Are you stupid in the harem? Don't talk to me, you can't even cure Gu Zhan's abandoned daughter! ”
"What about your methods in the past?!"
Emperor Longqing knew very well that a woman without means in the harem would not live long, and Concubine De could let all her children grow up safely, and her scheming methods should not be underestimated.
And these are also acceptable to Emperor Longqing.
After all, he can't take care of all his children, and whoever has the means can survive.
Concubine De's lips were chapped and her voice was hoarse, "Your Majesty...... Gu Jia was brought into the palace by the eldest princess of Taining, she has always been gentle and deferential to the concubines and the eighth prince, especially to the eighth prince, she is even more considerate and thoughtful, and her love for him is deep-rooted...... The concubine is not a concubine, so it doesn't hurt to keep her by her side. ”
Concubine De lowered her eyelids, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty will not summon the concubine today, the concubine is also coming to see you, the concubine does not mean to embarrass Mrs. Yongle, but the concubine...... The concubine knew that the madman in the cold palace and Mrs. Yongle Hou were old friends, and Miss Gu, the daughter of Mrs. Yongle Hou, lived in the palace with Yongle Hou. ”
She paused for a moment to give Emperor Longqing time to reminisce.
Emperor Longqing's face was extremely unpleasant, "Go on." ”
Apparently he remembered a bad experience.
"Concubine heard ......" Concubine De didn't have time to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Gu Siye directly slammed into the door of the imperial study, his face was pale, and he ran in in a panic.
He tripped over the threshold, pounced directly, and rolled in front of Emperor Longqing.
Gu Yao followed closely into the door and knelt down directly, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are guilty, and I have come to ask you for guilt." ”
"You are talking nonsense, which is your guilt? If you are a minister, you shouldn't be in the palace, Your Majesty, someone wants to harm the minister to do something disloyal and unfilial. ”
Gu Siye hugged Emperor Longqing's thigh, frightened as if he would lose his life at any time:
"The minister met a little eunuch on the way back to the eastern suburbs with Yaoyao, and he secretly handed it to Yaoyao paper ball, Yaoyao was a coward, afraid of causing trouble, so he didn't dare to look at the paper ball, so he tore the paper ball directly......"
Emperor Longqing raised his eyebrows, "Torn?" I think it's deliberately hidden. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is not a smart person, and he is not a genius to raise children, although Yaoyao is filial and sensible, but she does not know the sinister world, she only thinks of not causing trouble to the minister, but forgets that the minister is protected by His Majesty, and the minister only needs to confess to His Majesty, and His Majesty will believe in the minister."
Gu Siye turned around and said, "Why don't you hand over the paper ball to Your Majesty?" After she tore up the paper ball, the minister asked her to put it back together, and specially sent it to Your Majesty, and the minister categorically did not dare to receive the private messages of His Majesty's harem concubines, let alone interfere in the affairs of your harem. ”
Concubine De Niangniang was short of breath, seeing that Gu Yao sent the paper ball to Emperor Longqing, Gu Siye's luck was so good?
She had been plotting a trap with Gu Jia for many days, but he easily dodged it?
