Chapter 223 It's too late, but it's too late
Fu Yanran looked at the ground tangled for a while, and finally raised her head with determination, and said softly: "It's all my fault, the secret letter was lost from me." ”
This sentence came out and successfully attracted the shocked eyes of the whole room.
Gu Wu was surprised at first, then became angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward to find Fu Yanran to theorize, but was stopped by Su Wan.
"Fu Yanran, you make it clear, what the hell is going on?" Su Wan looked at Fu Yanran with complicated eyes and asked calmly.
Although Fu Yanran's words were tantamount to a thunderstorm, she could be regarded as opening a breakthrough for this dilemma, if she was willing to cooperate, the possibility of successfully rescuing Xiao Mochen would greatly increase.
Fu Yanran bit her lip and looked at Su Wan hesitantly. Although in the current situation, it is true that she can explain everything to alleviate the urgent need, but she can't pretend that she was deceived by thieves and hand over the secret letter, right?
Moreover, Fu Yanran still listened to the other party's promise to help Xiao Mochen become the emperor...... Once it is exported like this, I am afraid it will also be considered a conspiracy to rebel, right?
"Concubine Fang, this is an extraordinary time, and I expect you to be able to cooperate with each other." Gu Zeyang was also a little unbearable, and said anxiously: "The prince has been sent to the Zongren Mansion, with His Majesty's will, any jailer in the Zongren Mansion can torture him, it's too late!" ”
"Then, the prince stayed up all night to complete the secret letter, so he entrusted me to send it to my grandfather." Fu Yanran hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly: "It's just that I lost it on the way to deliver the letter." ”
Although this method seems clumsy, it is already the best choice that Fu Yanran can think of.
"Lost? Can something so important be lost? Gu Wu was even more angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Don't you know what the consequences will be if the secret letter falls into the hands of the chaotic party?" ”
"I don't know how I lost it, and I can't help it now!" Fu Yanran covered her ears in annoyance and shook her head.
"After you lost it, did you talk to Xiao Mochen for the first time?" Su Wan didn't dwell on the issue of loss for too long, but grasped the key point and continued to ask.
"No, no Sakura" Fu Yanran's heart trembled, and she lowered her head slightly and said: "My grandfather had a sudden emergency, and I accompanied him to rush back to the imperial city urgently, and I forgot about it......"
"Concubine Fang, you are also ......" Gu Zeyang's face was speechless, he pursed his lips and looked at Fu Yanran, and he couldn't find a suitable word to evaluate her mistake.
"That is, Xiao Mochen knew that there was a problem with the secret letter from you, and he didn't want you to be implicated, so he admitted the charge of losing the letter?" Su Wan's brows furrowed into pimples, and she looked at Fu Yanran and asked.
"That's how it should be." Fu Yanran nodded helplessly, twisted her body, and said with a self-confession: "The prince has never been in contact with the secret letter since he drafted the secret letter, so how can he take responsibility?" ”
I saw a black shadow flashing, and between the lightning and flint, Gu Wu had already walked quickly in front of Fu Yanran, approached her condescendingly, and said: "Concubine Fang, if what you say is true, do you dare to follow me to tell the truth in front of Your Majesty, and return the prince's innocence?" ”
Fu Yanran was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw the angry flames in Gu Wu's eyes, her stubbornness was also aroused, and her neck stiffened and raised her voice and said: "Go and go, I, Fu Yanran, am lacking in doing things alone, why don't you dare?" ”
"Very good, let's go now!" Gu Wu was not joking, he immediately gave up his reasoning, and waved his big hand and said, "Concubine Fang, please." ”
"Humph!" Fu Yanran snorted coldly, stood up seriously, and was about to walk out.
"Wait a minute!" Su Wan blocked the door, looking at everyone calmly: "Even if this is the truth, you can't let others know!" ”
"Princess, don't you want to save the prince quickly?" Gu Wu was emotional for a while, and he didn't care about appeasing Su Wan, and said directly: "The prince I has been bright and upright, and he has never made any mistakes, how can he swallow the charge of improper custody of the secret letter?" ”
"It is precisely because of Xiao Mochen's fame that we have to try our best to minimize the harm of this matter!" Su Wan interrupted Gu Wu's words, turned his head to look at Fu Yanran and said, "In this matter, there may be a possibility of maneuvering by Xiao Mochen, but if we push you out directly, you will definitely die!" ”
This matter is so big that the old emperor even thought about sacrificing an old general with outstanding merits to protect Xiao Mochen, so how could he be stingy with Fu Yanran's head? As long as Xiao Mochen can get away with it, presumably the old emperor will gladly accept Fu Yanran's resignation and then punish her with death.
Fu Yanran was a little surprised, looked at Su Wan with a complicated expression, and asked uncertainly, "Are you thinking about me?" ”
It's a joke! She usually tried her best to kill Su Wan and did so many things to persecute her, but now Su Wan finally got through a wonderful moment where she could fight back, but she wanted to save herself?
"Don't pretend to be a saint in front of me, this trick won't work." Fu Yanran sneered and said mockingly: "Don't expect me to be grateful to you. ”
"I'm not as kind as you think." Su Wan didn't care about Fu Yanran's ignorance, but looked at Gu Wu and Gu Zeyang and explained: "If Fu Yanran turns herself in, she will definitely be sentenced to death, and Xiao Mochen will be punished for lax discipline, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
For a person like Xiao Mochen with a supreme status, any mistake will become a stain on his life, and he will follow him deeply, not to mention that this is at the cost of Fu Yanran's death.
With Xiao Mochen's arrogant personality, he would never be able to accept such a result. It was precisely because Su Wan knew him too well that he must not let this happen.
"Do you have a better way?" Although Fu Yanran was very unconvinced, she still looked at Su Wan with an expectant look on her face and asked.
"Did you store the secret letter with you when you held it?" Su Wan lowered her head and pondered for a long time, raised her head, stared at Fu Yanran with burning eyes, and asked.
"Huh?" Fu Yanran didn't expect Su Wan to suddenly ask this question, and blurted out: "I'm tucked between the sleeves, is this considered close-fitting storage?" ”
Su Wan took a few steps closer to Fu Yanran, closed her eyes and asked, and sure enough, there was a strong orchid breath rushing towards her.
Facing Su Wan's sudden movements, Fu Yanran was a little confused, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, looked at her with a complicated face and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"On the day the secret letter was lost, did you also use orchid powder on your body?" Su Wan asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, I don't have a day without incense." Fu Yanran said so, and at the same time said puzzledly: "Does this have anything to do with rescuing the prince?" ”
"It's related, and it's big." Su Wan smiled faintly, turned his head to Gu Zeyang and Gu Wudao: "You guys go to the Zongren Mansion with me now." ”
"Zongren Mansion? Princess, do you want to rob the prison? Gu Wu smiled bitterly and said embarrassedly: "The prince is now suspected of committing a crime, and without His Majesty's amnesty, you won't be able to see him." ”
"I'm not going to see Xiao Mochen, but I'm going to meet that secret letter." Su Wan blinked his eyes and pretended to be mysterious: "Only with that secret letter can my conjecture be confirmed." ”
"This ......" Gu Wu was still hesitating, he wanted to take Fu Yanran directly to see the old emperor and let her confess in court, anyway, as long as Xiao Mochen could be rescued, Fu Yanran's life was not in his consideration.
"I agree, I'll take the princess to the Zongren Mansion now." Gu Zeyang immediately made a decision, stepped forward and said: "I am now the deputy of the prince, it is reasonable to go to explore the evidence, and Lord Gu, you had better avoid suspicion and don't get involved openly." ”
Gu Wu was a little unhappy after hearing this, and frowned: "You rabbit cub, what do you mean by this?" I've been with the prince for more than ten years, why don't you stay for a month or two? ”
"Gu Wu, Gu Zeyang's words are also what I want to remind you." Su Wan sighed and looked at Gu Wudao with a serious face: "You have to recognize your current identity, you are a dignified general in Zhenxi, and you are a third-grade official." Although you are still under Xiao Mochen's command, you can no longer be too close to your deputies in the past, do you understand? ”
"Yes, Master Gu, you are a general with heavy troops, even if you are a close confidant with the prince, it is better not to be in a hurry to stand in line in this kind of major matter." Gu Zeyang nodded and echoed.
Gu Wu is a smart person, after the two of them are like this, he also understands seven or eight points, so he has to scratch his head and say, "Then what can I do?" I can't just sit idly by, can I? ”
"What you have to do is to calm down and watch me finish this scene." Su Wan smiled, and his eyes revealed a little firmness.
Fu Yanran looked at Su Wan's confident appearance from the side, and suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world. Has this woman always been so resourceful and smart? Why was it possible to come up with a countermeasure in such a short time?
What Fu Yanran didn't know was that Su Wan, a high-achieving doctoral student with an IQ of 200 and an EQ of 2000, could easily crush herself anywhere, but Su Wan usually disdained to use her wisdom in these aspects.
In the evening, the Jinluan Hall in the imperial city was very deserted, and the old emperor sat bored in front of the gilded desk and closed his eyes to recuperate, and his heart was actually worried because of Xiao Mochen's current difficult situation.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chen and Lord Chai, the head of the Zongren Mansion, are waiting outside the palace, asking for direct advice to you." The steward's father-in-law walked in and knelt down respectfully.
The old emperor opened his eyes, raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and said suspiciously: "Su Wan? What did she come to do? ”
The old emperor's words were actually knowingly asked, Su Wan had always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and it must have been for Xiao Mochen's sake to come to see him at this time. However, if she just wanted to play the sympathy card and cry and intercede, then the old emperor was not in the mood to see her.
"Returning to Your Majesty, Princess Chen, she has evidence to prove that the prince was wronged, and the loss of the secret letter actually has nothing to do with him." The father-in-law of the steward raised his head and replied with a glow in his eyes.
"Oh?" The old emperor's eyes lit up, he became interested, straightened up and said, "Let her in." ”
"Yes." The father-in-law of the steward got up and hurriedly retreated, and after a while, Su Wan walked in in with his head held high in formal clothes, followed by Lord Chai, the head of the Zongren Mansion, and Gu Zeyang, who was holding a wooden box.
As soon as the three of them entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, they respectfully saluted the old emperor, and Su Wan looked at the old emperor with blazing eyes after getting up, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he saw this posture, the old emperor touched his beard with interest, and asked loudly: "Su Wan, the loss of your secret letter is not related to King Chen, is there any definite evidence?" ”
Su Wan nodded and said with a smile: "If the son is not completely sure, he will not dare to come to disturb his father Qingxiu." ”
The old emperor bowed slightly, with a clear sense of inquiry in his eyes, and said, "Okay, then you can listen to it!" ”
"Father, don't worry." A sly smile flashed in Su Wan's amber eyes, and he said: "The statement of evidence is the most important thing about the timeliness of the confrontation in court, why don't you invite the three princes to come together to see if the inferences of the sons are reasonable?" ”
Su Wan held the trump card in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to release it, but he had to wait until the third prince was also in the school, as long as he could teach the third prince a lesson in front of the old emperor, and see if he dared to tell right and wrong in the future!
The old emperor looked at Su Wan with deep eyes for a moment, and said loudly: "Come on, the three princes of Xuan will meet together!" ”
It didn't take a while, and the confused third prince came to the Heart Cultivation Hall under the leadership of the herald, and when he entered the door and saw Su Wan and the others in the hall, he suddenly showed a somewhat jealous look of vigilance.
"Father Wanfu, I don't know what is the matter with the urgent summoning of his sons?" Although he was uneasy in his heart, the third prince still politely and thoughtfully greeted the old emperor, and pretended to glance at Su Wan unintentionally, and said with a fist salute: "Princess Chen is good." ”
Su Wan sneered, and did not return the third prince's courtesy, which made him a little embarrassed.
"The people are here, you can start." The old emperor stroked his beard and stared at Su Wandao. "Absolutely." After Su Wan replied respectfully, he turned his head, looked at the third prince with sharp eyes, and said, "Dare to ask the third prince, where did you get the secret letter in your hand!" ”
Since this secret letter came out above the court, all Rao's attention has been focused on Xiao Mochen's connection to this matter, and no one has really considered where the third prince got the letter.
The third prince was stunned for a moment, his face was a little cramped and he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This is a secret, I can only come out when I interrogate King Chen." ”
"Confidential?" Su Wan curled the corners of his mouth mockingly and smiled, "This is not that I asked you to meet in private, but asked you questions in front of my father!" In front of your father, you hide and don't report it, what is your intention! ”
Su Wan gained the upper hand in just a few words, which made the unprepared third prince even more flustered.
"Third child, you are here to clear the ins and outs of the matter." The old emperor took in the abnormal performance of the three princes, and walked into Beijing again with his brows
