"Your Highness! General Shi has already left the palace. The East Palace reported by the Shadow Guard.

Although there was no sound, it seemed to hear a group of people exhaling involuntarily.

The prince subconsciously looked at Xue Ke and gave her a comforting look.

Xue Ke also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip, only to find that the tea in the cup was already cold.

"Once General Shi shows his witnesses, although the emperor has not made a move at the moment, he will inevitably send factory guards to keep an eye on General Shi, and it will be inconvenient for His Highness to go over!" Sun Mo's objective analysis.

"Before the twist, Gu had already talked to General Shi in detail, and everything that should be said had already been said. Gu and General Shi believed in each other, and there was no need to contact each other anymore. ”

"Does Chang Gongzi's side need to be transferred?" Sun Mo was a little uneasy. This time it was the eldest son of Chang Shengkuan who came to the imperial court in the Western Regions, although the East Palace had Chang Shengkuan's handwritten letter, but after some thought, Chang Shengkuan still decided to send his eldest son over in person. After all, above the court, the persuasiveness of human evidence is higher than that of documentary evidence.

"It's better to be still than to be still." Nangong didn't quite agree. Chang Gongzi is currently only in a shop under the name of the prince, although the prince sent a shadow guard to protect it secretly, but if the Gyeonggi guard investigates it, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide.

"Since the emperor let General Shi leave the palace unharmed, I'm afraid he has a deeper plan." The prince's deep voice sounded unreal. He has always been most wary of his father, but even so, he still feels surprised and chilled.

"Nangong, you go and contact Gonggong Cao and ask him to talk to him in person recently." The prince thought for a while and said, "Wait until you meet with Gonggong Cao before deciding on the next step, and I won't move for the time being." ”

As soon as the prince's words were finished, a shadow guard came in and reported in his ear, "Gonggong Cao, please come over to the house tonight." ”

The crown prince nodded, it seems that the emperor is ready to make a move.

This time, the crown prince took Xue Ke to Gonggong Cao's house outside the palace.

Gonggong Cao looked at Xue Ke carefully, and said with a smile: "Miss Xue is really the daughter of Jiangmen, and her mind and perseverance are beyond the ordinary boudoir women!" ”

"My father-in-law praised it! The time when the saint in the palace was faced, thanks to the guidance of his father-in-law! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Mrs. Xue is the benefactor of the slave, and it is within the duty of the slave to do his best. ”

Xue Ke had heard the prince say that Aunt Fang was the sister of Father-in-law Cao, and it was unexpected that things in the world were so coincidental. Thinking of Aunt Fang and her younger brother, although Xue Ke tried his best to restrain himself, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

The prince gently shook Xue Ke's hand on the side.

Father-in-law Cao lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, there was a little more sincerity in his eyes, "Girl, the deceased is gone, it's useless to think about it." ”

Xue Ke nodded, "The bones of my father, Aunt Fang, and younger brother are all unknown now, and now all I can do is to return their innocence." ”

"I'm about to explain this matter to His Highness!" Gonggong Cao's face became serious: "General Shi's excerpt is His Highness's arrangement, right?" The emperor was furious, presumably His Highness could guess it! ”

The prince nodded, "Expected." But what should be the next step, I have to ask my father-in-law. ”

"The emperor's dragon body has been a little injured after the incident with King Qin, and during this time, he has contracted a cough disease, and the servants can't get out of serving in Chang'en Palace, so they can't show it to His Highness."

The prince waved his hand, "I understand my father-in-law's difficulties, so I don't need to go into details." If my father-in-law can come out today, there must be something important. ”

"Not bad!" Gonggong Cao's face became more and more serious, "The slave has already received definite news here, Concubine Li Niangniang is indeed a person from King Qin, and she has a deep origin. Now the emperor's favor for Concubine Li's mother is getting heavier, which is a great disadvantage to His Royal Highness. ”

The crown prince nodded and said, "The emperor's favor for Concubine Li is indeed beyond our expectations. The queen has controlled the middle palace for many years, and now she also avoids its edge, but she is curious, how did King Qin collude with Concubine Li? ”

"It seems to be the origin of Hua Concubine's side." Gonggong Cao frowned, and he was puzzled by this. It was already very strange for Hua Concubine to frame the prince with death at that time, and how King Qin drew Hua Concubine and Concubine Li into his camp was indeed an unsolved mystery in his heart.

Gonggong Cao thought about it and said, "The emperor is not in good health now, and he is more and more dependent on Concubine Li, and the slaves can understand." The emperor's temperament has become more and more arbitrary over the years, and once he identifies someone, he can listen to anything. Yesterday, Concubine Li Niangniang had already suggested that the case be retried, saying that since there was already a discussion in the DPRK and China, it was better to investigate it thoroughly, so that they would be convinced and give up. ”

"Oh? Did the emperor agree to a retrial? Xue Ke asked hurriedly. Although she didn't have a good impression of Concubine Li, and she knew that Concubine Li would not be so kind, after all, agreeing to the retrial was the first step.

"Then it depends on how to retry it, to see whether to wash away the grievances or put another layer of nails on the previous unjust cases!" The prince said in a deep voice.

Gonggong Cao sighed and said, "Your Highness is extremely worried! Recently, there was a disaster report in Shaanxi, and His Royal Highness also knows about it, right? ”

The prince thought for a while, frowned and said, "The disaster situation in Shaanxi is not serious, according to the usual disaster relief, why, the emperor intends to let me go?" ”

"Not bad!" Gonggong Cao's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he knew the elegance when he heard the string song, and those who were superior to others must take one step and see three steps, and the prince obviously has this ability.

"The emperor intends to use this to support His Royal Highness, and the affairs of the Xue family will be handled by the King of Qin. said that it was a retrial, and I am afraid that it will be a big killing! The worry on Gonggong Cao's face became more and more intense.

"In any case, it is impossible for Lone to leave the capital at this time!" The prince smiled and looked at Xue Ke, "I've been waiting for this day for five years." Thank you father-in-law! ”

Father-in-law Cao hurriedly bent over and said, "Don't dare!" The slave has to return to the palace today, although he is not a slave on duty today, but now the situation is special, maybe the emperor will announce the slave. ”

"Then Gu will just say one more thing, father-in-law must be careful and protect himself."

Gonggong Cao was stunned, and then knelt on his knees, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern." A slave is a cheap life, and it is not worth His Highness's concern. ”

The prince lifted up Father-in-law Cao with both hands, and said seriously, "Father-in-law, don't do this!" Lonely did this, of course, for self-preservation, but also for the sake of grievances for the deceased. My father-in-law is a witness, and it is also one of the meanings of doing this alone. Even if Lone fails, he will have a father-in-law who can understand Lone's mind one day. ”

Gonggong Cao looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated face, his calm and calm aura was the same as that of the former queen, and Xue Ke beside him looked at him calmly, neither excited nor sad, the two seemed to go to life and death together and seemed to have made an appointment to go for a walk in the suburbs together.
