Chapter 310: Face to face

With Xiao Hanyin's temper, if he really wanted Gu Qingyu's life, he would not directly send someone to assassinate him.

He has a brilliant mind and does things without leaving traces, and even if he really kills someone, it is impossible for others to find evidence immediately.

"Your Majesty, they are the only husband and wife in the imperial city, and they have a grudge against the little girl!" Gu Shangshu said.

"So, you don't have hard evidence in your hands?" The emperor rubbed his forehead and said.

"Weichen went to find Xiao Hanyin and asked him to swear in person, but he didn't respond!" Gu Shangshu also knew that he would definitely feel disgusted when he came to the emperor rashly.

However, his daughter is still not fully awake, and he really can't swallow this breath.

If they don't teach Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao a lesson, they will inevitably gain more in the future.

It was Gu Qingyu who assassinated this time, and it might be his turn next time.

Gu Shangshu wanted them to know that the people of the Gu family were not so easy to bully.

"I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter, and until there is no evidence, you must not go to Xiao Hanyin and his wife again!" The emperor really doesn't want to care about these things.

However, Gu Shangshu personally begged him to come here, if he left it alone, he was afraid that the contradictions and grudges between him and Xiao Hanyin would become bigger and bigger.

In the future, they will continue to be officials in the same dynasty, and if the relationship is too stiff, there will definitely be mutual stumbling blocks.

After thinking about it several times, the emperor decided to find out as soon as possible who Gu Qingyu was injured by......

After he sent Gu Shangshu away, he immediately asked people to find the prince.

The relationship between the prince and Xiao Hanyin has always been good, so the emperor directly sent him to find Xiao Hanyin and his wife.

The emperor knows their temperament, and if the matter is really related to them, they will definitely not deceive the prince.

In fact, the prince still trusts Xiao Hanyin and them very much in his heart.

Therefore, after he learned about this, he said a lot of good things for them in front of the emperor, and he was also quite concerned about this matter.

"The emperor sent you to investigate us?" When Xiao Hanyin saw the prince, he immediately ordered the maid to bring some refreshments he liked.

"I believe that you are not the real murderer of Gu Qingyu, but Gu Shangshu went directly to his father to sue the emperor, so I had to come over and go through the motions!" The prince picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea elegantly.

In his heart, he absolutely trusted them as a couple.

However, the emperor gave orders, and he had to obey.

"Gu Qingyu's matter, it is true that it was not me and Qingshao who did it, we have indeed been very dissatisfied with her all the time, but we never planned to send someone to assassinate her!" After Xiao Hanyin heard the prince's words, his expression eased a lot.

Xiao Hanyin has always disliked others, so he came to question him without evidence.

"Gu Shangshu is indeed a little confused this time!" The prince sighed, "I can understand his love for his daughter, but it's a pity that he didn't track down what happened in the first place!" ”

Now I am afraid that it is not so easy to continue to investigate, after all, it has been two days and two nights, and many clues are gone.

"What did Your Majesty say?" Liu Qingshao still cares more about the emperor's attitude.

"Father also has doubts about this matter in his heart!" Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent over to investigate.

"Actually, we heard a rumor a few days ago!" After Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao glanced at each other, they decided to tell the prince what they knew.

Originally, they planned to find out everything privately by themselves, and then let Gu Shangshu apologize in person.

However, since the emperor and the crown prince have intervened, there is no need for them to waste time.

The truth of this matter is more convincing when someone else tells Gu Shangshu in person.

"What rumors?" The crown prince is in the palace all day long, sharing political affairs for the emperor, and he is not very clear about the rumors outside.

"Some people say that Gu Qingyu is holding a recipe snatched from me in her hand, if anyone gets that recipe, they will not encounter any resistance when doing business!" Liu Qingshao told what they had found.

"And such a thing?" The prince was surprised.

"When the courtiers and Ah Yin heard about it, they also thought it was ridiculous, but this rumor has a great attraction to some mercenary businessmen!"

After all, Liu Qingshao is a young woman who can do such a big business, how can she have no secrets in her hands, many people have such thoughts.

"Do you think Gu Qingyu's assassination is related to those rumors?" The prince frowned.

"The courtiers don't know, but those people won't attack Gu Qingyu for no reason!" Liu Qingshao will not speculate about this matter.

She just truthfully reported the news she knew to the prince, as for what he did, Liu Qingshao didn't dare to ask.

After all, the crown prince and the emperor both intervened, and she and Xiao Hanyin were happy.

At that time, no matter what kind of results are found, Gu Shangshu will also be convinced.

The prince felt that what they said was likely to be a major clue.

The reason why Gu Shangshu stared at them and his wife was because they had a festival between them.

If the rumors outside can be confirmed, which are related to Gu Qingyu's injury, Gu Shangshu's suspicions about their husband and wife can be completely cleared.

The prince is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he naturally cares more about Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin than Gu Shangshu. Trade Winds Literature Network

They are his right-hand men, if it weren't for them, the second prince probably wouldn't have been driven out of the imperial city by the emperor so quickly.

Xiao Hanyin worked in the court and helped him deal with a lot secretly, and the emperor may be suspicious of them when it is not good for him.

However, the crown prince did not have it at all.

He knew that although Xiao Hanyin had a cold temperament, he attached great importance to affection, they had known each other since childhood, and this affection could not be destroyed by anyone.

However, now the emperor is still in charge of the court, and the prince is not good to blatantly favor them, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The older the emperor gets, the more suspicious he becomes.

Although he is bent on cultivating himself to inherit the throne, he still has a trace of guard against him in his heart.

There has never been pure father-son affection in the royal family, and they are naturally no exception.

The prince investigated for a few days and found that there was indeed this rumor in the market, and when Gu Qingyu was assassinated, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao stayed in the mansion all the time, and there was no action during the period.

So, he directly told the emperor what he had found.

"Do you think this has anything to do with them?" The emperor knows Xiao Hanyin's ability, if he really wants to clear up the relationship, it is not easy to find out the evidence.

"Father, the sons think that they don't have the need to lie, not to mention that with Xiao Hanyin's ability, if they really want to kill her, they will definitely not stay alive!" He has always done things without leaks.

"You're right, but Gu Aiqing is afraid that she won't believe it!" The emperor didn't want to deal with them.

But at this point, he can only deal with it.

"Father, it doesn't matter if they believe it or not, if you can personally order an investigation, it can already be regarded as giving him face!" The prince's eyes darkened.

"You're right, after Gu Qingyu wakes up, you directly send someone to summon them into the palace, and I want them to confront them face each other!" Since Gu Shangshu is biting and not letting go, let them make trouble by themselves.

He is busy with government affairs every day, and he doesn't have much mind to care about their.

A few days later, Gu Qingyu finally woke up.

So the emperor directly issued an order and summoned them to the palace.

Gu Qingyu was not healed from her injuries, so she directly ordered someone to carry her to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers were innocently hunted down and killed, and they must have nothing to do with their husband and wife!" Gu Qingyu has always been arrogant, and she naturally was unhappy when she suffered so much this time.

After all, she almost stepped into the ghost gate several times, and if it wasn't for the timely treatment, her life would have been gone.

When Gu Qingyu was hovering on the edge of life and death, she hated them the most.

At that time, she secretly swore that if she could survive, she would not let them go.

"Miss Gu, you can't talk nonsense, we don't know about you being hunted down, not to mention that if I really want to do it, I won't directly kill you!" Liu Qingshao likes to make her enemies worse off than dead.

"Hmph, you are the only one in the imperial city who has a grudge against me!" Gu Qingyu really couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.

In any case, she will unmask them in front of the emperor today.

"Hehe, we have a grudge with you, who made the first move, presumably Miss Gu hasn't forgotten, we repay our grievances with virtue and don't insist on pursuing them to the end, but now you are beating a rake Do you think we are easy to bully, or do you think we won't be like a seriously injured person?"

Liu Qingshao found that this person's mind was crooked, and the typical only state officials were allowed to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps.

"Enough!" The emperor was almost annoyed by them, "A few days ago, I heard the prince say that you have a recipe in your hand, so that it has aroused the covetousness of others, is this true?" ”

"What recipe, I don't know!" Gu Qingyu was stunned, she didn't know what the emperor's words meant.

"Some people say that you have obtained a recipe from Liu Qingshao, and after having it, you will be able to monopolize the business of the Imperial City!" Seeing her blank face, the emperor guessed that she might not know.

"I don't have any Liu Qingshao in my hands!" Gu Qingyu immediately denied it.

"It's been spread all over the outside, have you investigated, are the people chasing you related to this matter?" In fact, the emperor also believed in his heart that Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao would not do anything stupid.

He had clearly warned Xiao Hanyin not to move Gu Qingyu, and they really hadn't moved recently......

The emperor did not think that they would blatantly go against their will and do such a thing.

However, everything must be judged according to the evidence, and at the moment neither of them can produce evidence, and it is difficult for him to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers feel that those rumors are very likely to be deliberately released by Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao, in order to set up the courtiers, so that people will feel that the courtiers are being hunted down and killed has nothing to do with them!" Gu Qingyu decided that they were going to harm their own people.

She escaped death and just wanted revenge!

"Miss Gu, it's best not to say anything without evidence, so as not to wronged others!" Xiao Hanyin said with a cold look in his eyes.

This Gu Qingyu really makes people feel disgusting when they look at it more.

If he could, Xiao Hanyin would definitely leave with Liu Qingshao immediately.

Gu Qingyu's assassination had nothing to do with him, and Gu Shangshu had already told the emperor about it.

How to deal with things, the emperor has his own judgment in his heart, and he really doesn't want to ask.

But the father and daughter of the Gu family had to stare at their husband and wife, and they were in a posture of stumbling with them to the end, which made him very upset......
