After returning to the study, Gu Yanbai kept sitting on the desk and pondering.

Over the years, the prince and the second hall have been very harmonious and harmonious, and everyone sees it in their eyes.

But this corruption happened to Liu Shangshu, the right-hand man of the second hall, if he didn't know about it, Liu Shangshu's secrecy work would have been too good.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the prison first to probe Mrs. Zhang's tone.

At night, he dressed in civilian clothes and took one of his subordinates into Dali Temple.

"Weichen is not doing well, and I ask His Royal Highness to punish him." Under the hall, Liu Shangshu knelt in the center, beads of sweat the size of beans fell on his forehead.

Xia Nanfeng lay on the step, supporting the back of his neck with one hand, and placing the other hand at his side, his eyes slanted at Liu Shangshu, who was trembling.

"What are you guilty of?" He spoke softly, no emotion could be heard in his words, and it was cold and frightening.

"Micro... Damn it! Liu Shangshu slammed his head on the ground, not daring to lift it easily.

Xia Nanfeng's eyes were slitted, and then he took out a folding fan from behind him and shook it lightly.

"Gu Yanbai has started to investigate this matter, since you have been discovered, what should you do next?"

When Mrs. Zhang was arrested, the person he secretly sent to follow him immediately came back to report it.

He has been operating carefully and secretly for so many years, without the slightest mistake, but he didn't expect to be defeated by a master with a loose mouth in the end.

"Temple... His Royal Highness was angry, and Wei Chen thought of a foolproof plan. Liu Shangshu hurriedly crawled to Xia Nanfeng's side and told him his so-called plan.

After hearing this, Xia Nanfeng closed the fan in his hand and glanced at Liu Shangshu.

"If it doesn't work well this time...."As soon as the words fell, Liu Shangshu hurriedly replied: "No, Your Highness, this time it is guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

Xia Nanfeng stopped looking at him.

Liu Shangshu wiped his sweat and ran out of the door.

At that time, Gu Yanbai quietly sneaked into Dali Temple with a secret guard.

"Little Marquis, you only have half an hour." The jailer said as he opened the door.

Gu Yanbai nodded. Mrs. Zhang, who was in the cell, heard the movement and hurriedly raised her head.

He wore his hair loose and his eyes were blank, and after seeing the person clearly, he quickly shrank into the corner.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"It's so unbearable not to see him for a few days." Gu Yanbai frowned, obviously someone had come here to pour something into Mrs. Zhang, which made him what he is like now.

He looked so crazy that he couldn't ask anything.

Gu Yanbai glanced at the secret guard: "You go and arrange more people here, if there is any suspicious person, report it to me immediately." ”

After the secret guard got the order, he followed Gu Yanbai out of the cell together.

Gu Yanbai glanced at the bright moonlight, sighed and disappeared into the dark night.

As everyone knows, there is a person who quietly sneaked into Dali Temple.

Gu Yanbai, who had not fallen asleep early the next morning, was brought into the palace by someone sent by the emperor.

"Gu Yanbai, are you guilty?"

Gu Yanbai raised his head and looked at the emperor with some puzzlement.

"You trespassed into Dali Temple last night, do you know what mistake you made?"

Gu Yanbai thought about it, listened to the emperor's tone, and had seven or eight points of understanding in his heart.

Something happened to Mrs. Zhang

"The minister is guilty, I don't know if Mrs. Zhang is okay?"

The emperor turned his head and said lightly, "Dead." ”

He's dead? Gu Yanbai frowned, he only saw him last night, why did he suddenly die today.

The emperor told him that Taifu Zhang tried his best before he died and wrote a white character on the ground, and the only person in the court with a white character in his name was the little marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion.

"So the emperor suspects that the minister killed Mrs. Zhang." Gu Yanbai understood what was going on, and he was even more puzzled.

Dali Temple has always been heavily guarded, how can people be put to death at will?

What's more, it was only two or three hours before he left Dali Temple and killed Taifu Zhang, and someone must have taken advantage of this loophole and wantonly murdered him.

The emperor was also helpless: "This matter is related to you after all, you can put down these things in your hand for the time being." He walked up to Gu Yanbai and said something in his ear, then got up and sent someone to take him down.

In the Hou Mansion, Mingyuexi has always been worried about Gu Yanbai's safety, she learned early in the morning that Gu Yanbai was urgently recruited into the palace by the emperor, and when she saw that the gang was menacing, she was afraid that Gu Yanbai would be unexpected, but there was no way, so she kept staying in the garden, and it was difficult to sit still.

Seeing Gu Yanbai being escorted back by the emperor's guards, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She hurriedly walked to Gu Yanbai's side: "Are you okay?" ”

Gu Yanbai shook his head.

Ming Yuexi glanced at Gu Yanbai, and then at the two guards standing beside him, a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Yanbai smiled and touched her head: "It's okay, I'm going to be locked up for a while for the time being." ”

"Why?"

Gu Yanbai summoned himself to the palace by the emperor and told all about what happened.

Only then did Mingyuexi suddenly realize that the emperor still valued Yanbai, and it was already the emperor's grace to let him be grounded at home, but no one was allowed to visit.

"But how can this matter continue without you?"

Mingyuexi was a little worried, Gu Yanbai's encounter must have touched the interests of the mastermind behind the scenes, so he was designed to be brought down.

If he can't prove his innocence, then the real culprit is too rampant.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and her pupils dilated and glanced at Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai knew what she was thinking, and lightly stretched out her hand and covered her mouth where she wanted to speak.

The emperor's cronies are still there, and they still don't want to teach them to be so straightforward.

Mingyuexi glanced at the two people behind Gu Yanbai and closed her mouth in amusement.

She decided to help Gu Yanbai this time.

Not for merit, but also for clearing his grievances.

After a brief narrative, Gu Yanbai was pressed back into his room.

Mingyuexi sat on a stool in the garden, full of thoughts.

From beginning to end, she felt that things were very strange, why Gu Yanbai had just left Dali Temple with his front foot, and Taifu Zhang was killed in prison with his back foot, and he also left false evidence, and the people behind the scenes were too ill-intentioned.

It's not enough to murder the prince, but also to murder Gu Yanbai, she must find out the bad guys.

But now she is alone, and it is difficult for her to investigate the case on her own, so it is better to find more helpers.

In a trance, she thought of Lu Min'er.

"Stacked Cui!" She can ask Diecui to find Lu Min'er, and with her assistance, she will definitely be able to find the murderer quickly.

Diecui rushed over when she heard the sound, and Mingyuexi told her to hurry to Lu Mansion and invite people to come.

Xia Nanfeng in the palace was in a good mood when he heard the news that Gu Yanbai had been grounded.

Liu Shangshu is doing things properly, now that Gu Yanbai is confined at home, and the prince is poisoned on the couch, he can take care of the corruption that was caused a lot of trouble a few days ago.

"What's going on in the Xiaoyao Mansion?" He glanced at the dark guard standing beside him and said lightly.

The secret guard reported truthfully: "That Gu Xiaohou Ye was confined at home, but the woman next to him seemed to be a little out of step recently. ”

"Mingyue Creek?" Xia Nanfeng Feng played with the jade wrench in his hand, and his eyes were extremely charming.

It seems that you still care about this Gu Yanbai... Then he'll go meet her for a while.
