Chapter 61: Behind the Scenes
"Gu Chengyi recruited everything before he fell off the horse, and you teamed up with the faint officials to bring disaster to Jiangnan, but he didn't fall into the country."
Gu Huanli said this, and Lu Xuan suddenly looked confused: Wasn't Gu Chengyi ended up in prison early in the morning? Did he mean to say that?
Before Lu Xuan could figure it out, Imperial Physician Xu, who was innocent, was already annoyed and angry.
"Gu Chengyi, the villain, is clearly the one who collaborated with the prince to endanger Jiangnan, and wanted to cause His Royal Highness the Murderous King to die here, but in the end he actually deducted the charge on my head, which is really hateful."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't believe it, she thought that this matter was a personal grudge caused by Gu Chengyi to take revenge on herself, but she didn't expect that it was actually controlled by the prince.
It is really outrageous that the prince who is in such a danger of life and death for the people of the world.
"You say all this is at the behest of the prince?" Lu Xuan was furious and stepped forward to ask.
Imperial Physician Xu had already said everything that should not be said, and it was not bad for this sentence, and then he snorted coldly: "Except for him, who would dare to gamble with so many lives?" β
In this way, the prince's ruthlessness was finally confirmed, and Lu Xuan was immediately disappointed in him.
Gu Huanli was not surprised, just as Doctor Xu said, there are really few people in the world who dare to use the common people in the world as bait.
"Let's go, it's time to take a look at the antidote developed by the Medicine King Valley." Gu Huanli saw Lu Xuan's grief and indignation, and immediately took her back under the pretext.
On the way, seeing that she had calmed down slightly, Gu Huanli asked, "How do you know it's him?" β
Lu Xuan didn't think twice: "Just guess." β
This answer was really interesting, and Gu Huanli couldn't help but smile on his face: "Let's talk about how to guess." β
Only then did Lu Xuan explain that it turned out that when Imperial Physician Xu was sowing discord that day, Lu Xuan was eyeing the pouch on his waist.
The smell emanating from it may not be smelled by others, but Lu Xuan was deeply affected by it a while ago, but as soon as he entered the door, he smelled it.
Fang Cai just took a similar appearance and wanted to deceive him, but he didn't expect to succeed.
"In this way, this king underestimated Lu Shulingshi's intelligence?" Gu Huanli quipped intentionally.
Lu Xuan has been by his side for a long time, and he has learned a little bit of this bad taste, and then replied: "Your Highness invited you into the urn, and it is also extremely exquisite, isn't it?" β
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the red tassels in the courtyard also bloomed extremely dazzlingly in the twilight.
Soon, news of the prince spreading plague occasionally came out in various parts of Jiangnan, and Gu Huanli was suspicious in his heart, so he immediately found Lu Xuan.
"Did you release the message?" Except for Lu Xuan, he couldn't think of anyone else who would act like this.
Lu Xuan thought he was helping Gu Huanli, so he didn't deny it: "The news was indeed released by the lower officials, and the prince, as the prince, is not worthy of doing it in vain for the survival of the people." β
Gu Huanli didn't seem to buy it, but there was a harsh meaning in his words: "The abolition of the prince is the foundation of the country, how can you allow you to talk nonsense here?" β
However, Lu Xuan didn't expect to be appreciated by Gu Huanli at first, after all, instead of making profits for him, she did this for the people.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was silent, Gu Huanli said again: "Do you think that the prince can be convicted with just a few people's insignificant testimony?" You're too small for a palace dispute. β
Lu Xuan was also a member of the cabinet in the officialdom, how could he be so naΓ―ve and delusional to defeat the dignified East Palace in one fell swoop?
But everything adds up, and such a thing may be covered up once, and how many times will it happen again? No matter how powerful the prince is, can he block the mouth of the world?
After brewing for a long time, Lu Xuan spoke: "This time it is the reckless behavior of the lower officials, if His Royal Highness wants to punish him, the lower officials will never complain, but the lower officials have acted without shame and no regrets." β
In fact, Gu Huanli didn't think she was reckless, but she had just entered the officialdom and her foundation was unstable, so acting like this would sooner or later lead to trouble.
But in the same way, Gu Huanli probably didn't know, even Lu Xuan herself didn't realize that her always cautious personality occasionally didn't choose to say anything in front of him.
In the face of Lu Xuan's stubbornness, Gu Huanli was not annoyed, but ordered him to retreat first and not to interfere in this matter again.
This night, after Lu Xuan left, her words lingered in Gu Huanli's ears all the time.
What Gu Ningbei did to him was just a means of fighting for imperial power, he had no intention of doing anything to the country, so he could naturally turn a blind eye.
But Gu Ningbei implicated innocent people and took action against the people Gu Huanli protected, so it could be regarded as touching the scales of his fierce dragon.
Early the next morning, Gu Huanli summoned Lin Wei and arranged for his subordinates to publicize the prince's behavior in the city, and there was a lot of rumors for a while.
Lu Xuan originally had some nostalgia for yesterday's events, but today he saw everyone in the city talking about it, and it became another version-
"The prince endangered the people in order to seek power, murdered the royal family, and assassinated dissidents."
Lu Xuan already knew the first half of the sentence, but who charged Gu Ningbei with the crime of murdering the royal family?
Lu Xuan was confused, and suddenly heard a sentence behind him: "Lu Shulingshi has heard rumors in the city?" β
Lu Xuan turned around: "Your Highness? Are you the one who sent the message? β
Gu Huanli acquiesced, and Lu Xuan was even more troubled: "But didn't Your Highness say yesterday that the lower officials acted too recklessly, shouldn't it be like this?" β
"How did this king say that? I'm afraid it's not Lu Shu Lingshi's own amorousness. Gu Huanli looked arrogant, after all, not half a word of these words came from his mouth.
Thinking about it like this, he really didn't have half a word of reproach yesterday, is it really Lu Xuan's own affection?
Lu Xuan couldn't guess the mind of this big Buddha, and he didn't want to guess, so he simply said bluntly: "Then it is rumored that the prince murdered the royal family......"
Gu Huanli nodded: "This is true, that day in the Valley of the Medicine King, the prince did bring people to encircle and suppress this king." β
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was suddenly shocked, there was such a thing? But why have you never heard Gu Huanli mention it?
"Your Highness, ......" Lu Xuan's eyebrows overlapped like a hill.
The result was obvious, Gu Huanli shrugged his shoulders disdainfully, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Huangkou child, carving insect skills, it's not worth mentioning." β
In this way, Lu Xuan realized how ridiculous his question was.
He is the god of war who killed a whole country for the Gu family, and everyone respects him, when he fought on the battlefield and stained the city with blood, Gu Ningbei didn't know where to wet the bed in Shengjing, where did he need others to worry?
Xu was aware of Lu Xuan's daughter's careful thoughts, and Gu Huanli immediately leaned over to him: "What, Lu Shu Lingshi is worried about this king?" β
The man's deep voice attached to Lu Xuan's ears, causing her ears to turn red, and when she turned to him, a pair of jade cheeks were already as red as a glow.
The two lines of sight faintly met, and there was only half an inch between the lips.
The breath was accompanied by a warm breath, and a certain part of the chamber suddenly became as hot as fire, as if it was about to burst out of the throat in the next moment.
Lu Xuan felt like this, he had never had it in his past life and this life.
"Your Highness, Xizhi's seniors ......" At this time, Lin Xiao's mistake of not knocking on the door was committed again, and as soon as he rushed in, he ran into such a scene.
If Lin Wei is not mistaken, Gu Huanli had already said that he would not take the next example when he was like this last time, then wouldn't this time his little life have to be explained here? He has been loyal to his duties for so many years, but he doesn't want to end up dying in a foreign land!
Before he had time to think about it, Lin Wei simply turned around on his own, and said in a panic: "My subordinates are clumsy, and I haven't seen anything." β
It's just that this makes the parties even more embarrassed and embarrassed, Gu Huanli is not doing anything yet, Lu Xuan's daughter's family is thin-skinned, and she has already fled in a hurry.
Looking at Lu Xuan's fleeing back from a distance, Gu Huanli couldn't help but feel emotional.
When Lin Wei turned around again, he bumped into the doting smile on his Royal Highness's face? He felt like he was getting dizzy from old age.
"Your Highness......" Lin Wei cautiously called Gu Huanli, and the smile on that handsome face instantly dissipated, and he returned to his usual cold appearance: "What's the matter?" β
And he was not angry? Lin Wei suddenly felt like a dream, and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Your Highness, the Medicine King Valley has developed an antidote to the plague, several people have tried it, and the effect is very good, and the predecessors of Xizhi are asking His Highness and Lord Lu to come over!"
Such good news, it's a pity that Lu Xuan ran too fast.
"I know, this king will go over, you can go and invite Lord Lu." After that, Gu Huan Li walked away.
Lin Wei stood in place with a confused expression: "Isn't Lord Lu's room next door, why don't you stop by when you pass by?" β
Emotional matters are really much more difficult for Lin Wei and Wufu than to go into battle to kill the enemy.
After a cup of tea, Gu Huanli and Lu Xuan rushed to the other courtyard, but the wing room was already empty.
"Your Highness, there is a letter here, which seems to have been left by Xizhi's predecessors." Lu Xuan found it in front of the couch in Xizhi's room, and Gu Huanli immediately hurried over.
The letter was indeed written by Xi Zhi herself, probably saying goodbye, and there was a developed antidote and prescription under the pillow.
"The people of the Medicine King Valley just said goodbye without saying goodbye?" Lu Xuan was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.
Gu Huanli did the same: "I wanted to thank you in person, but now that the antidote has been successfully tested, Lin Jing, send more people to take it to the people as soon as possible." β
Lin Wei took the antidote: "My subordinates will do it." β
Here, everything is ready, everyone is happy, but on the other side, there are people who are scolded and bloody.
It turned out that the evil deeds were reported to Shengjing, and the various families in the court had a lot of complaints about the prince, and Emperor Liang Qin was furious and summoned Gu Ningbei to come to inquire.
"Rebel! How can you be worthy of your mother's spirit in heaven? "Emperor Liang Qin hated that iron could not become steel, and he almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood.
In fact, Gu Ningbei was full of panic since he fled back from the Medicine King Valley on the day he fought, for fear that his plot of misdeeds would be exposed by Gu Huanli.
Unexpectedly, now more than that, they have found out all his deeds in Jiangnan, and they are still spreading it everywhere.
Now don't say that it is Emperor Liang Qin's question, even if he doesn't say it, the spittle of the civil and military officials and the people of the world may be able to drown Gu Ningbei to death.
