Gu Qing walked out of the prison with an indignant face, and as soon as she went out, she turned around and yelled angrily in the direction of the prison: "I thought I was willing to take care of you!" If it weren't for my uncle, I wouldn't bother to care about you! After saying that, she stomped her foot, and immediately it hurt her teeth and grinned.

Of course, Gu Qinghao couldn't ignore them, but in the current situation, she had no choice, after thinking about it for a long time, she thought of a person, maybe there would be a way.

Xu Guanyi

Gu Qing had heard about Xu Guanyi in the capital for so long, Xu Guanyi was also famous for his resourcefulness back then, his methods couldn't even be resisted by Su Yunlai, and he could even successfully use public opinion to frame Gu Junyan as a collaborator and traitor.

Is such a character an ordinary person?

Xu Tianxing is his adopted son, and he will definitely not care.

Gu Qinghao went directly to Xu Mansion to see Xu Guanyi, Xu Guanyi was imprisoned in Xu Mansion and couldn't go out, so he looked for a quasi-child.

Xu Guanyi didn't know that something had happened to Xu Tianxing, but when he heard Gu Qinghao's words, he was not surprised at all, and his indifferent appearance seemed to have been expected a long time ago.

Gu Qing looked at him and felt very secure.

"Lord Xu, do you already know Tianxing's life experience?" Gu Qing asked tentatively.

Xu Guanyi smiled slightly: "He is my child, although he is not my parent, but I have no children under my knees, and I treat him like my own flesh and blood, how can I adopt a child with unknown details?" ”

Back then, Xu Guanyi would adopt Xu Tianxing, not out of his original intention, but because of Su Yunlai, Su Yunlai learned about the child's life experience, and felt a little pity in his heart, feeling that he was displaced at a young age, which was really hard, but because the situation of the Su family was unknown at that time, and she was a boudoir woman It was inconvenient to adopt this child, so Xu Guanyi volunteered in order to please his sweetheart.

It's just that later, after a long time, a bit of father-son love was really born.

"Since you know that Tianxing's grandfather killed the first queen, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Gu Qinghao asked in a low voice.

Xu Guanyi was also full of ambition back then, and he followed Li Sheng, but adopted the child of his mother-killing enemy, with Xu Guanyi's personality, he would not make such a stupid choice.

Because your mother likes Xiaobao.

This is the truest reason, at that time, he could give up anything for Su Yun's sake, let alone just adopt a child.

Xu Guanyi said lightly: "It's not a big deal, even if Your Majesty finds out, it's nothing." ”

Gu Qinghao was stunned when she heard this, and almost knelt down to worship him.

"Lord Xu, you have a way, right? There must be a way to save my uncle and Tianxing! Gu Qing said anxiously.

Xu Guanyi looked helpless: "I've been trapped in this Xu Mansion for five years, but there is a way, and now I can't use it, and many things are different, it's not the original time." ”

Gu Qinghao's eyes dimmed, and Xu Guanyi looked disappointed when he saw her, and was about to say something, when suddenly the housekeeper hurriedly walked in.

Xu Guanyi's brows sank, and the housekeeper lowered his voice, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here." ”

Xu Guan was startled, Gu Qinghao was also surprised, as soon as the two stood up, Li Sheng had already walked in slowly.

Several people saluted, Xu Guanyi lowered his head, this was the first time he had seen Li Sheng in the five years he had been imprisoned.

In other words, it was the first time I saw someone other than Xu Tianxing and Gu Qinghao.

Li Sheng's gaze swept over Gu Qinghao's face, and his tone was light: "You girl, you are smart, and you know how to come to find rescuers, your vision is good, and you chose a smart one." ”

Gu Qing wondered in her heart, was this praising her?

Gu Qinghao laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has won the award, isn't this all following in the footsteps of Your Majesty!" ”

Back then, Li Sheng reused Xu Guanyi, and Xu Guanyi's status among the ministers can be said to be in favor of the government and the opposition.

Li Sheng shook his head, "It's like your mother, and you still don't suffer at all." ”

"So, how is the research, and has Xu Guanyi worked out a way, how can I come to the other party?" Li Sheng asked again.

Gu Qing said honestly: "Your Majesty, I just came in, where do I have time to study any way, Your Majesty, you see that I am so pitiful, I can't think of a way to break my head, so you can show mercy, raise your noble hand, and let them go!" ”

There's no way around it, just play a scoundrel.

Li Sheng smiled angrily, and was about to say something, when Xu Guanyi said: "Your Majesty, the criminal ministers also know the inside story of the death of the former queen. ”

Li Sheng's expression was cold, and his whole body exuded a cold aura, and the Son of Heaven was angry and frightened.

"Good! Good! That's nice! It turns out that one by one, you are all playing me like a fool! Just hide it from me! You dare to hide such a big thing! It seems that I have been so generous to you on a daily basis that you have forgotten your proportions! Li Sheng angrily reprimanded, "So loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, in order to protect your family, you deceived me and betrayed my trust in you!" Have you read all your sages' books into the dog's belly? ”

Li Sheng has always had a gentle temper, and this time even the swear words broke out, which shows that he was really angry.

Gu Qing gave Xu Guan a look eagerly, how could this add fuel to the fire?

Xu Guanyi was not in a hurry, kneeling on the ground, his back was as straight as a pine, even with such a humble posture, but when he did it, he inexplicably had an elegant attitude.

Xu Guanyi said earnestly: "Your Majesty treats the guilty ministers, and has the grace of knowing the encounter, which can be described as a mountain, and the guilty ministers can only repay them with their livers and brains!" The guilty minister knows that His Majesty is a person of pure filial piety, and he has a deep relationship with the mother and son of the former queen, but Your Majesty, the first queen has passed away for many years, and the criminal minister and Lord Su concealed the truth, and the original intention was not to protect our relatives, but for Your Majesty! ”

Li Sheng sneered: "You are hiding the affairs of the former queen, but it is for my own good?" Am I wrong to blame you? ”

Xu Guanyi said respectfully: "The minister is His Majesty's courtier, sharing worries and relieving His Majesty's labor, it is a matter of duty, this time to deceive Your Majesty, it is really a last resort, if Your Majesty wants to blame, the criminal minister has nothing to say, and is willing to bear all the blame with Master Su!" ”

Gu Qing is so anxious! She felt that she had heard others say that Xu Guanyi was smart, witty and means, maybe everyone had misunderstood Master Xu, this was obviously a real fool, this was a mortal thing, and he had to go up with all his heart.

"You were a capital crime at the beginning, and Xu Tianxing fought for you, and now you are looking for your own death!" Li Sheng said angrily, "You have to intercede? It's a last resort, you unite to deceive me, and you dare to say that you have to intercede? ”

Gu Qing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! If it's really excusable, can you open the net? ”

Xu Guanyi lowered his head and said nothing.

"Lord Xu! It's all this time, what else can you not say! Gu Qing said eagerly, "Even if you don't want to think about yourself, you have to think about my uncle and aunt and Tianxing, their lives are in your hands!" ”

Gu Qing is not stupid, she heard it from what she said just now, there must be something else hidden in the original matter, this is the turning point of the matter.

She suddenly understood, no wonder Su Zhan was so calm, it turned out that she had already been in her chest, knowing that she would be fine, she suddenly had a curiosity in her heart, what was the truth back then? Why do you look like Lord Xu doesn't want to talk more?

"Your Majesty, the deceased is gone, and there are some things that should not be pursued again." Xu Guanyi said in a low voice, "The criminal minister has not fulfilled his duty as a courtier, it is the criminal minister who is disloyal, if Your Majesty wants to punish him, the criminal minister has nothing to say." ”

Li Sheng took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Nothing to say? You've negotiated, right? Thought I wouldn't dare to kill you, I couldn't kill you? Thought I wouldn't know if you didn't say anything? I'll show you! When I find out the truth, I will settle accounts with you one by one, and I will spare your life now! ”

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and strode out.

Gu Qinghao looked at the back of him leaving, turned his head and looked at Xu Guanyi in confusion: "Lord Xu, why don't you tell the truth of the matter?" Could it be that the so-called secret is really more important than the lives of my uncle and aunt and Tianxing? ”

Xu Guanyi sighed: "It's not that I don't say it, it's just that the time has not yet come." ”

"When has it not arrived? The longer it drags on, the more angry Your Majesty will be, and at that time, the truth will be revealed, and perhaps Your Majesty will be angry and even more unfavorable to you! Gu Qing said anxiously.

Xu Guanyi was silent for a while, and finally said: "The time has not yet come, and I can't say it yet." ”

"Why!" Gu Qing was furious: "When is the time to come?" Isn't it time to wait until both Uncle and Tianxing are dead? Who can judge this 'timing'? ”

"Your mother."

Gu Qing choked for a while, and was stunned: "My mother?!" ”

She knows that her mother has always been clever and commendable, but this is too godly? But after so much time, can her mother really accurately judge the actual situation? If there is any deviation, then these people may be executed by Li Sheng!

Even the things that she could see, Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi must have seen it a long time ago, but they still did it according to Su Yunlai's ideas, without hesitation or doubt.

"What if my mother is wrong?" Gu Qinghao asked in a low voice.

Xu Guanyi was obviously stunned for a moment, and touched her head: "No, your mother won't be wrong." ”

When Gu Qinghao left the Xu Mansion, her emotions were much calmer, at least she already knew that there was a reason for Su Zhan's inaction, and that 'time has not yet come' is the key to everything.

Gu Qing had just walked in front of the General's Mansion when she was stopped by a man, she looked at the other party's smooth jaw, and understood in her heart that this was someone from the palace.

"Our master is invited."

Gu Qinghao followed this person to a private room in a restaurant near the General's Mansion, where Li Sheng was dressed as a civilian and stood in front of the window with his hands tied.

Gu Qing didn't know the bottom in her heart, didn't she just see it in the morning?

"Your Majesty?"

When Li Sheng heard the voice, he turned his head and looked at Gu Qinghao's face and couldn't help but lose his mind a little, "You are really similar to your mother." ”

Gu Qinghao grabbed her hair and said embarrassedly, "I'm not as smart as my mother." ”

Li Sheng tugged at the corners of his mouth: "If you are not smart, how can you protect Xu Tianxing from winning battles and making military merits at the border pass?" ”

Gu Qing was stunned, Li Sheng slowly walked to the table and sat down, and said lightly: "My son, he wants to go to the battlefield with all his heart, just to make military achievements, but unfortunately, he has the courage to go to the battlefield and the determination to seek wealth and danger, but his luck is not very good." ”

"The second prince cares about the people, and it is also His Majesty's service."

Li Sheng hooked the corners of his lips noncommittally, the meaning was unclear, "Do you know why I came to you?" ”

Gu Qinghao said cautiously: "I...... The people, the women don't know. ”

I don't even dare to call 'me' anymore.

Li Sheng smiled lightly, but the smile was in his eyes: "You also saw today's events, what do you think?" ”

Ask her? What could she think about the death of the former queen? What can she think.

Gu Qing thought about it for a while, and then whispered: "Yi, according to the opinion of the people's daughter, I am afraid that there is another hidden truth in this matter." ”

"Tell me about it." Li Sheng said.

Gu Qing saw that his attitude was not bad, and he was a little bolder, and continued: "According to the opinion of the people's daughter, in fact, this matter is very understandable, whether it is Imperial Physician Qi or the general's grandfather, in fact, in terms of their identity, it is more likely to be instructed by others. After a pause, she hurriedly said: "The folk girl has also investigated, Imperial Doctor Qi's reputation in the Tai Hospital is very good, and he is also favored, he has no reason to harm the first queen, he must have been instigated by others." ”

Li Sheng's expression remained unchanged: "Go on." ”

Gu Qinghao knew that he was right about Li Sheng's thoughts, so he became a little bolder: "Let's do this, my uncle's unlucky father, and General Xu's grandfather, must be responsible for others, the real murderer should be someone else!" As for the motive to do this back then, Your Majesty, this is not something that the people can know. ”

"You don't know, I'll tell you." Li Sheng said: "At that time, my father died, the position of the Son of Heaven was vacant, and the imperial grandfather was grief-stricken and secretly promised that he would pass the throne to me, but at that time, I was still young, and the country was in turmoil, and several of my imperial uncles were eyeing each other, among which the first emperor was the most famous!" The strength is also the strongest. ”

"At that time, several imperial uncles were eyeing me, and the imperial grandfather was worried that I would not only not be able to keep the throne, but would even lose my life, and my mother was born in the Gu family, she was the daughter of Jiangmen, and she had a resolute temperament, if she took care of me, she would definitely protect me to grow up safely, so I thought that the emperor was the most likely person to kill my mother." Li Sheng made a conclusion.

It can be seen that Li Sheng was not carried away by anger, but had already thought it through.

"However, if it was the emperor's instructions, my uncle and Lord Xu would not hide it for the emperor, and listening to Lord Xu's voice today, I am afraid that the person who instructed it is someone else." Gu Qing said tentatively.

"That's right, it's about the cause of the death of the former queen, and I can't tolerate the slightest mistake, so I hope you can ask the truth of the matter." Li Sheng said.

Gu Qinghao's eyes widened: "Me? ”

"Yes, Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi will hide it from me, but they will definitely not hide it from you, you are the most suitable person." Li Sheng said.

Gu Qing thought of what Xu Guanyi said, it was still the time yet, it seemed that they and her mother had a solid plan, if she rashly agreed, would it affect her mother's plan?

Gu Qinghao hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do anything about it, what can the folk girl do?" You are too overestimated, and you don't know that my uncle has a stinky and hard temper, or his own son is gone, so there is nothing you can do. ”

Li Sheng saw her hesitation, so he smiled lightly: "The way, I have already thought about it for you, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely be able to ask." ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked at him puzzled, since he had a way, why did he let her go?

Gu Qinghao soon knew, Li Sheng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Today, Zheng'er came to me to give him a marriage, who do you know who Zheng'er asked to marry?" ”

Gu Qinghao was taken aback: "I, can I not know?" ”

Li Sheng smiled slightly: "It's okay, then you just wait for me to make an order, it just so happens that I and Jun Yan are brothers, and if you marry my son, you can't treat you badly, I think Jun Yan will definitely be very happy!" ”

"No, definitely not!" Gu Qing said without thinking about it, "My father hopes that I don't marry talents!" ”

"Could it be that the Gu family dislikes the prince?" Li Sheng's face turned pale, and he said coldly.

Threat! That's the threat!

Gu Qinghao had a bitter face: "But, but Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the people's daughter, if you do this, how innocent the people's daughter is!" ”

"Since even your uncle thinks that you and Zheng'er are a good marriage, I am naturally willing to promote it, do you think that Zheng'er is not worthy of you?"

Gu Qing looked aggrieved, but said, "The people don't dare." ”

Only then did Li Sheng ease his face, his head was slightly bowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Gu Qinghao sighed: "Your Majesty, please allow the people to retire." ”

"So late? Where to? Li Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Qinghao gritted her teeth: "Go to the prison!" Torture to extract confessions! ”

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, angry.

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and when he thought about it, he couldn't laugh anymore, how disgusted he was for his son! So reluctant to marry Li Zheng!

I don't know if Li Sheng said hello in advance, she came to the prison all the way unimpeded, and I don't know if Li Sheng did it on purpose, and arranged Xu Guanyi next to Su Zhan's cell.

The relationship between Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi is not good, this is a historical problem, the two were also friends with each other back then, but later they turned against each other.

When Gu Qing arrived, Su Zhan was arguing with Xu Guanyi.

"Lord Xu has exhausted all his plans, and today he finally calculated himself to the prison, which is really gratifying!"

Xu Guanyi's expression was calm: "I haven't walked out of Xu's Mansion for many years, even the heavenly prison is also a special taste, and Lord Su is happy." ”

Su Zhan choked, he has always been eloquent, and for the first time, he felt deflated.

As soon as Gu Qinghao approached, he was used as a punching bag.

Su Zhan glared at her: "Why are you here again?" Why do you always come? How can a girl from a good family run to the prison all day long? Your mother knows about it, and she will definitely train you again! ”

Xu Guanyi's brows sank, and he couldn't see that he said Su Yunlai's daughter, so he said unhappily: "What do you say the child is doing?" If you don't stand up right, can you blame a child for coming to see you in a place like this? ”

Gu Qing calmly did not talk back, and calmly asked the cell boss to open the cell door.

Su Zhan turned his head and pointed to the cell head: "Why are you listening to her so much?" She asked you to let me go, and you listened? ”

The cell boss smiled: "There is an order above, and the small one is also acting according to orders, so don't embarrass the small one when the adults are small." After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.

Gu Qinghao walked in and immediately ...... hugged Su Zhan's thigh.

"Uncle! You have to save me! I'm your niece! You can't leave me alone! Gu Qinghao cried.

The corners of Su Zhan's mouth twitched, thinking of his sister's gentle and dignified appearance, and then looking at the bear child in front of him, he firmly thought that this was all Gu Junyan's shortcomings! It has nothing to do with his sister!

"What saves you? You get down. Su Zhan said impatiently, and after speaking, he looked at Xu Guanyi: "Do you still think she is like Ah Wan?" ”

Xu Guan opened his mouth, speechless, and finally sighed: "Ah Hao, what happened, you get up first, your uncle will definitely help you!" ”

Xu Tianxing even said: "Who bullied you?" You go to Lao Jia and let him help you out! ”

Gu Qing looked at Su Zhan with a bitter face: "Uncle, if you don't help me again, Your Majesty will marry me to the second prince!" How did the first queen die, you can recruit it! ”

Xu Tianxing was furious: "What? Second prince? No way! After speaking, he looked at Xu Guanyi earnestly.

Su Zhan paused, the second prince, the queen's son? That's not a good family affair.

"The second prince has a noble status, and he has the most hope of inheriting the unification, if it is him, it is also a good family matter." Su Zhan said with a clear conscience.

Gu Qinghao raised her head and glared at him: "Do you believe it or not, I'll lose weight for Cheng'er when I go back?" ”

Xu Guanyi was out of temper when he was seen by Yizi, sighed, looked at Su Zhan, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's move is really ...... Sooner or later, I will tell Your Majesty, and since he must know the result, let him tell. ”

Su Zhan opened his mouth, and finally he sighed, "Actually, it's nothing, the real murderer of the former queen was the former emperor." ”

The Emperor? Emperor Qianyuan? Gu Qinghao instinctively thought of this, and after a pause, she realized that something was wrong, and she looked at Su Zhan in amazement: "Yes, yes......"

Su Zhan nodded, "Back then, the first emperor was worried that the Gu family would be powerful and his relatives would interfere in politics, so he decided to kill the first queen, so that the Gu family thought that the first queen was killed by Emperor Qianyuan, and would assist His Majesty wholeheartedly, and avoid the harem being too involved in politics, and in the future, Your Majesty will ascend the throne, and there will be filial piety pressing, after the Gu family grows bigger, it will affect Your Majesty's regime......" After a pause, he said: "This is also the result of my analysis with your mother." ”

Gu Qing was dumbfounded, she opened her mouth, even if she didn't have common sense, she also knew, "Your Majesty has always respected the emperor......

When Li Sheng mentioned the emperor's grandfather today, he was full of admiration, if he knew the truth, would he really be able to accept it?

Gu Qinghao really understood at this time, why did they all unify their voices and conceal the real murderer, this is because they are worried that Li Sheng can't stand it!
