At this time, in the palace, the emperor took the letter brought back by Gu Yan, and slowly opened it with trembling hands.

He didn't tell Gu Yan that the letter was written by Gu Yan's mother back then, and he never said that in fact, Concubine Zhen was not executed at all, but secretly sent to the Western Regions.

"If you refuse, your love will be destroyed!"

This is the letter that Concubine Zhen persuaded him to let himself take the throne, but he was ambitious at that time and did not want to at all.

Concubine Zhen was disheartened and alone in the Western Regions, but she no longer had a letter to her family every month like before.

And the young emperor refused to send someone to go all the way to get the letter, so the two no longer had any contact.

But this time, before the Western Regions attacked Da Yu, Concubine Zhen sent someone to send him a pastry, which was the box of pastries that Concubine Zhen liked to make for him the most.

And reminded him that there was one last letter.

And behind this letter, there is a sentence that Concubine Zhen recently wrote.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, he really looks like me, not like his brother looks like you!"

When he saw this, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.

Brother? Gu Yan's younger brother?

Was Concubine Zhen pregnant when she left?

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think about it clearly, and he couldn't sleep all night at night, but he didn't know who to tell about this matter, after all, Concubine Zhen was one of the most taboo things in Da Yu.

"Your Majesty, can't you sleep? Do you want the old slave to prepare some food for you? ”

The emperor waved his hand and said that there was no need, and turned around and closed his eyes to think about the question that he had not thought through today.

At this time, Gu Yan had already drunk at Chen Anjun's house until he began to feel dark, Chen Anjun's wife took a pot of wine and said with a smile: "Brother, you can't drink this amount of wine in our mountain, and our mountain masters can drink more than one another!" ”

Gu Yan picked up a pot of wine as he spoke, and drank it to his mouth.

Chen Anjun's wife next to him shouted: "Brother, that's right, a big man should be like this!" ”

Chen Anjun, who was listening next to him, thought silently that he would rather not be a man than get drunk and be beaten by his wife, but still eat the food honestly.

"Sister-in-law! The braised beef you made is simply a must, delicious, give me that lump again! ”

Gu Yan said, and Chen Anjun's wife hurriedly went to cut a whole piece of things and brought it over with a smile: "This Anjun doesn't like to eat much, if you think it's delicious today, eat it all!" ”

Chen Anjun's face turned black in an instant, why didn't he like to eat it very much, obviously because this beef was too expensive, and his usual food was not high, so he didn't dare to eat too much.

As he spoke, he reached over and took a lump of it and took a bite.

Chen Anjun had just drunk half of this, so he asked his wife to prepare the final sobering soup first, so as not to feel uncomfortable in the end.

"Okay, let's talk!"

Although it was Chen Anjun's wife who often couldn't control her fists, sometimes she also understood her husband, and she should have something to talk to Gu Yan, so she broke away.

Gu Yan staggered and continued to drink with his wine glass, but Chen Anjun at this time smiled and said: "Your Highness, you said that you had good acting skills, but I didn't believe it yet, but today I believe it, sit down!" I have something to tell you! ”

Gu Yan put down the wine glass, except for a little red on his face, he was still very sober, watching Chen Anjun eat with braised beef in his hand.

Chen Anjun was the chief judge of the case of King Jin this time, and if this case had been handled in accordance with the law of the country, King Jin would indeed not be exempted from the death penalty, but the emperor directly disposed of King Jin in private without a public trial.

This is something that Chen Anjun did not understand.

"Why did you say that Your Majesty had to execute King Jin, although this time the matter is indeed not small, but it is degraded to the common people, and then the punishment can be done, and it can be exchanged for a generous reputation!"

Gu Yan heard a smile at the corner of his mouth, put the braised beef in his hand into his mouth again, and after eating it a few times, he said: "Then now, the people don't say that the emperor is lenient, this King of Jin has already committed such a big crime, and he even helped find a doctor for treatment!" ”

Speaking of this question, it is true, but Chen Anjun's meaning is that the identity of the King of Jin and the fact that the matter has not yet come to light, so he will not be killed in such a hurry.

And Gu Yan actually felt that he had guessed that his father would kill King Jin, but he didn't expect that he would be killed before the public trial of the Criminal Department.

He felt very puzzled, if it was just because of the former queen's affairs, it wouldn't be, although it was a family ugly, it wouldn't hurt anything.

His father, he knew best.

Only the kind of things that would definitely threaten his throne would be called the most important things.

For example, what happened to his mother back then.

If he had to kill the King of Jin before the public trial, there was only one possibility, and that was that the existence of the King of Jin threatened his throne.

However, he has already taken back the military power, and the current King of Jin does not have this strength at all?

"I'm also wondering, I haven't thought about this issue yet, why do you have other opinions?"

Gu Yan asked Chen Anjun, but Chen Anjun said slowly: "That's not true, I used to think that I could still guess clearly, but now I think I really can't guess, but I want to remind His Highness that the Eighth Prince has recently begun to make friends with ministers in private, and I am afraid that he has moved his mind about this throne!" ”

Saying that, Gu Yan drank a pot of freshly heated wine, and said to Chen Anjun: "Then you give him greater hope and make him feel that he is bound to win!" ”

"Let me agree to his wooing?"

"To be a smart person, it's not bad to choose two masters!"

After speaking, Chen Anjun smiled, pointed to the braised beef and said, "One is for eating, and the other is for serving!" ”

"The one who eats must eat cleanly, let him fall from a high place!"

After Gu Yan finished speaking, his face showed a fierce face, although he didn't like this Gu very much before, he didn't hate it very much, but now when he thinks of Chu Mu, he will feel that if he didn't take care of this time.

How could Chu Mu's whereabouts be unknown.

He has to make Gu Gu's death ugly, so that he can be worthy of those brothers on the battlefield who died, as well as Chu Mu.

"Okay, since His Highness said so, An Jun roughly understands!"

The two were drinking, and Chen Anjun could see that Gu Yan was not in a very good mood now, although he didn't know the reason, but he always felt that it was because of the missing Chu Mu.

He said slowly, "Actually, I have one more thing that I wanted to tell you, but I haven't found the right time to say it!" ”

"One of the soldiers defending the city saw that the only wave had come to Kyoto!"
