"Father said he didn't believe in the prince's potential?"

Gao Xinning asked solemnly, but only received a sneer from Gao Zhiyuan.

"Potential. Everybody has it. It's just that it doesn't have the potential to become power, it's all in vain! ”

Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Gao Xinning with some contempt and said, "It is said that women are not left." Xinning, just because you are now the high-ranking concubine of King Zhao, you can't wait to come and be a lobbyist for him? Do you know that in party battles, the winner is under one person, above ten thousand, and the one who loses is his life! Are you going to bet your father's life on your husband, on an illusory potential? Absurd! ”

Gao Zhiyuan flicked his hand, pointed at Gao Xinning's nose and said: "Xinning, don't forget, everyone is as good as you can, but old father, there is only one in front of you!" ”

Gao Xinning did not flinch because of Gao Zhiyuan's scolding, she raised her head without being humble or arrogant, looked at Gao Zhiyuan and said: "If my father really looks down on the prince so much, why should he give Gu Panxi a hint?" ”

Gao Zhiyuan raised his left eyebrow, revealing a slightly incredulous look.

"Xinning, what nonsense are you talking about? How could a father ever give Gu Panxi's wicked woman a hint? ”

Gao Xinning smiled faintly, "Father, you and I are father and daughter, and there are no outsiders in this study, why don't you open the skylight and say something?" Or do you think that Xinning is spilled water and wants to treat your daughter as an outsider? ”

Gao Zhiyuan gritted his back molars and did not answer.

Gao Xinning made up his mind, this time, even if he wears out his mouth, at least let Gao Zhiyuan loosen up a little, so that he can change his opinion of Shi Feiqing. For Gao Xinning, this is an important opportunity for her to prove her value to Shi Feiqing, and even to Gu Panxi, only by doing a good job and doing it, and not letting Gu Panxi shine all the limelight, can she raise her head in King Zhao's mansion.

"If the father doesn't admit it, the daughter will simply get straight to the point - Ma Rushu, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, this is the hint you gave to Gu Panxi, right?"

Gao Zhiyuan chuckled in his heart, but his face was still silent.

Gao Xinning approached step by step, "At that time, my daughter was confused, if her father didn't want to help Gu Panxi, there were thousands of reasons, that is, to help Gu Panxi, and there were thousands of means. It's just a dossier, it's easy, why did my father personally order Ma Zuo Shilang and kill chickens with a knife?

Ma Zuo Shilang is his father's most blue-eyed protégé. As far as his father is concerned, if his father really doesn't value the prince so much, why let him come to troubled waters and get involved with Gu Panxi. Isn't that a self-smashing portal? The daughter was stupid at the time, but later she understood. It is precisely because Ma Zuo Shilang is his father's protégé that you deliberately let him get acquainted with Gu Panxi. ”

Gao Xinning slowly turned around in front of the silent Gao Zhiyuan, and while spinning, she analyzed Gao Zhiyuan's intentions.

"Today's criminal department Shangshu Chen Zi is a young man, and it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian. At present, among the young talents in the Criminal Department, there are only two or three young talents who are qualified to ascend to this high position, and Ma Zuo Shilang is one of them. Now the six Shangshu, except for Tian Gang, who was constrained by the old general Di Danqing, are all in cahoots with Tang Zhengde. My father suffered from Tang Zhengde for a long time. If Ma Zuo Shilang can take over Chen Ziqing's class, then he will be able to compete with Tang Zhengde. It's a pity ......"

Gao Xinning bowed apologetically, "Father knows that it is impossible to get his wish. Because Tang Zhengde is in the way, Shi Feidu will inevitably operate secretly, so that Tang Zhengde's favorite person will take over Chen Ziqing's class. ”

Gao Zhiyuan didn't know what mood it was, he didn't say a word, neither nodded his head to admit it, nor denied it, just silently picked up the cold tea in his hand and took a sip.

Although her father hated Gu Panxi, he recognized her methods. Because of the appearance of Gu Panxi, because of the change of the prince's indisputable position, his father felt that the prince was a prominent foreign army, so when Gu Panxi came to the door, he gave a hint and recommended Ma Zuo Shilang. ”

Gao Xinning said so much in a casual manner, and finally pointed to the point, and said loudly: "Father's attitude is that as long as Gu Panxi has a way to let Ma Zuo Shilang take over the punishment department, then my father is willing to serve the prince." Father, is the daughter wrong? ”

After saying this, Gao Xinning's heart still couldn't help but flutter. She was afraid that Gao Zhiyuan would say "no" coldly, and then she got up and walked away.

Fortunately, after Gao Zhiyuan drank a cup of cold tea, he threw out four words that were quite ambiguous.

"So what?"

This is an admission that Gao Xinning's analysis is correct.

Gao Xinning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her face showed joy, and she persuaded: "Father, since this is the case, why don't you continue to help the prince?" This time, the 'Shengshi Taiping' lighthouse blew up and killed Gu Panxi, if the prince came forward to ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly, and his father recommended Ma Zuo Shilang to the prince, once Ma Zuo Shilang found out the truth of the matter, it would be a great achievement. After that, the emperor favored Ma Zuo Shilang and appointed him to take over the criminal department, but it is unknown! ”

"Ridiculous."

Gao Zhiyuan didn't raise his eyelids and refuted: "Whether this case is an accident or someone has not yet decided whether it is an accident." Even if there is a will, the wicked woman Gu Panxi has made enemies everywhere, and there are many powerful people who want to harm her, they really have to shirk it, and they can find thousands of scapegoats. With such a case of mud, what merit can Rushu make? How can the emperor favor him? ”

After that, Gao Zhiyuan probed the teapot and saw that the tentacles were still warm, so he poured himself a new cup and picked it up to drink.

"Father," Gao Xinning knew that it was time to give Gao Zhiyuan a thunderclap, and cut the railroad to the fore, "The real murderer behind the scenes is the queen." ”

"What?!"

Gao Zhiyuan was stunned, and knocked over the teacup by mistake, with a crisp sound of "pop", broken porcelain pieces and tea splashed, making Gao Zhiyuan's clothes dirty, but he ignored it completely.

"Xinning, you...... Are you true? ”

"It's like a fake!"

"This ...... This! ”

Gao Zhiyuan couldn't keep calm anymore, stood up, and began to pace around the study.

"No, no! If it were the Queen, you wouldn't have convicted her! For the father, I can't let Rushu get involved. That's a send-off! ”

"Father, why don't you understand?!"

Gao Xinning said excitedly, and grabbed Gao Zhiyuan's arm with both hands, "Father, if your daughter is not 100% sure, how dare she come and tell her father such endless words?" Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, are you going to miss it in vain? Are you willing to continue to suffer from Tang Zhengde's old man's eyes? ”

Gao Zhiyuan took a deep breath.

Tang Zhengde!

This name really made him hate it unforgettable.

Gao Zhiyuan's eyes were closed, his fists were pinched and released, and his teeth tightened first and then loosened, making his temples rise and fall.

Gao Xinning knew that Gao Zhiyuan was secretly thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, so he didn't talk too much, so as not to interrupt his train of thought.

Gao Xinning dared to pack a ticket to Gao Zhiyuan, but in fact, she was a little weak in her heart, just to persuade Gao Zhiyuan, she had to write a blank check.

Gu Panxi patted his chest and said that he was eighty percent sure, but I just said that it was two percent higher, which is not a big problem, right?

When Gao Xinning was worried, Gao Zhiyuan glared angrily and asked sharply: "Ten percent sure?" ”

Gao Xinning slowed down for half a beat, and then replied: "Ten percent!" "The confidence is three points less.

Gao Zhiyuan was annoyed, "Xinning, for my father, I want to listen to the truth!" ”

Gao Xinning was weak-hearted, so she couldn't help but show her timidity, and continued: "Ninety percent ......"

"Gao Xinning!"

"Eighty percent! Only 80% sure! ”

"Eighty percent sure? Probably?! ”

Gao Zhiyuan put his hands together, and his voice was raised.

"Shi Feiqing, who has no party, no faction and no power, dares to say that he is eighty percent sure that the queen will be convicted of such a big crime?"

Seeing Gao Zhiyuan's crazy appearance, Gao Xinning thought that he was furious, and his hard work was finally in vain, who wanted Gao Zhiyuan to come back to his senses, and clapped his hands categorically: "Okay!" Good! Good! As a father, I believe in Shi Feiqing once to see how much trouble he can make. The father will make it clear to Rushu that when he wants him to assist with all his strength, he can't have the slightest reservation! ”

"Father!"

Gao Xinning burst into tears, and opened her arms to hug Gao Zhiyuan, but Gao Zhiyuan raised her right hand and stopped her.

"Xinning, don't be in a hurry to thank your father. If this matter fails, in the future, you don't want to enter our Gao Mansion as a concubine again! ”

Such a declaration is almost ruthless. Gao Xinning's heart tightened when she heard this, but her face immediately became resolute, and she gritted her teeth and said "Okay".

The father and daughter looked at each other for a while, knowing that they had nothing to say, so they simply saved their greetings and prepared to say goodbye.

When Gao Xinning was leaving, Gao Zhiyuan stopped her coldly.

"Xinning."

Gao Xinning was surprised, and a little nervous, for fear that Gao Zhiyuan would agree on his front foot, and he would regret it when he turned his head, who would have thought that Gao Zhiyuan glanced at her and asked a question that surprised her.

"Gu Panxi, is you really dead?"

Gao Xinning was at a loss for a moment, squeezed out an extremely unnatural smile, and asked rhetorically, "Father, what question are you asking?" Of course Gu Panxi ......"

Gao Zhiyuan didn't wait for Gao Xinning to finish speaking, then waved his hand, "My father knows that you can't stage such a farce of fake death." After all, this can be regarded as a crime of deception. It's just that there is something wrong with being a father. How could Shi Feiqing, who was so bright and almost stubborn, suddenly open his mind and learn these methods of gaining power? ”

Gao Xinning's throat was dry and she didn't know how to answer.

Gao Zhiyuan didn't expect her to say anything, shook his head, and motioned for Gao Xinning to go.

Gao Xinning didn't know why, so the ghost asked in a daze: "Father values Gu Panxi so much?" ”

"Hey." Gao Zhiyuan smiled intriguingly, "If Shi Feiqing has half the ability of that wicked woman, why should he be afraid of being a father?" ”

Gao Xinning's heart was shocked, and she couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and then stumbled out of the door.

When Gao Zhiyuan said that, Gao Xinning saw an unexpected emotion - regret. Gao Zhiyuan deeply regretted Gu Panxi's death. Not long ago, Gao Zhiyuan always did not hide his dislike for Gu Panxi, but in fact, he had a kind of appreciation for this female streamer.

Gao Xinning is well aware of his father's arrogance, looking at Dawu, there are only a few people who can be appreciated by Gao Zhiyuan, but Gu Panxi has done it.

Gao Xinning was a little dazed, and began to figure out a question.

She has always regarded Gu Panxi as an opponent.

But......

Does she deserve it?
