Chapter 280: A Little Bit of Truth
"Sister, how true do you think the rumors that have been circulating in the house recently?"
Today, the weather is good, the warm sunshine that is rare in winter shines in the small courtyard, although the garden is full of depression, but because of this pleasant sunshine, but can not feel the cold of winter.
"How true do you think it is?" Gu Wanwan was lying on the chair basking in the sun, and when she heard the words, she just raised her eyes slightly and asked rhetorically.
"I don't think it's true, if Changde really did such an evil thing, the prince would definitely punish him with the most severe punishment in front of everyone in the palace, and he would not be secretly executed." With her understanding of the prince, the prince is definitely a jealous and hateful person, and he can't tolerate the slightest betrayal.
"You're right to say that, but it's hard to guarantee that your prince will do something unexpected on a whim." To be honest, she really didn't want to talk about Yan Wushuang.
That bastard, she was kind enough to help, and she said that she wanted to be in the limelight, and she really didn't have much to say about him.
"Sister, what do you say?" Minghua heard the other meanings in Gu Wanwan's words, and asked curiously.
"Well...... I can't say, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. "It's either what she's seen with her own eyes, or it's speculation, and she doesn't like that.
"Say, sister, it's just the two of us, and no one else." Minghua's interest has been aroused by her, how can she easily say it.
Gu Wanwan was entangled by Minghua and couldn't help it, so she asked her, "Do you think your prince is like a fuel-efficient lamp?" ”
"Sister, how can you say that about the prince?" Minghua was not happy when he heard this, and his eyes widened to count Gu Wanwan.
"Just tell me yes and no." Gu Wanwan threw a dismal smile at her. Her words weren't meant to slander Yan Wushuang, right? Look at Minghua's excitement.
"Of course not!" Minghua responded casually, but realized that it was wrong, and hurriedly said, "No, I mean to say that sister, you can't use this to talk about the prince......"
"Okay, he's not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can he sit idly by and watch his men being killed in front of the house?" Gu Wanwan interrupted Minghua, and a mocking smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
With Yan Wushuang's temperament, he must have searched through the entire imperial city, and even the entire Donglan Kingdom, and he had to find out that person.
"No, sister, I'm telling you if Changde is the one who killed the guards in the mansion." My sister seems to have taken the topic away.
"Yes." Gu Wanwan closed her eyes and gave Minghua a very affirmative answer.
"Why? Sister, how can you be so sure? Minghua was puzzled when he heard this.
"Didn't you just say that? Your prince will not sit idly by, but what do you think of him now? Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Minghua with a smile.
"Now...... The prince is no different from before, but he goes out less. "No one is sadder than her about whether the prince stays in the house or goes out every day. So she knows very well that the prince hasn't gone out much in the past few days, but what does this mean?
Seeing that Minghua still didn't understand, Gu Wanwan had no choice but to say directly: "According to his temperament, if the person who poisoned him didn't find out, he would definitely not be able to sit still!" But he hasn't done anything now, so it can only be explained for one reason, the person who poisoned him is dead. ”
After Minghua heard this, he felt reasonable, but soon, a new question came up: "But that only proves that the person who poisoned him died, but it doesn't prove that Changde is the person who poisoned him!" ”
What's more, now that I only know that Changde is missing, and no one has seen his body, it can't be counted as dead, right?
"Who's to say there's no proof?" Minghua wanted to make things difficult for her, but it wasn't that easy.
"How's that proven, sister?" After Minghua heard this, he became even more curious, and wanted to hear how his sister explained this matter without evidence!
"Those who can poison the palace without knowing it must be the people in the palace. I know you want to say that there are so many people in the palace, why is it Changde and not someone else? Guessing that Minghua wanted to continue to make things difficult for her, Gu Wanwan simply said it herself.
"In this mansion, besides Changde, who else is missing? The main thing is who started the rumors? ”
Faced with Gu Wanwan's sudden question, Minghua was suddenly dumbfounded, she really didn't know how to answer.
"Sister, do you mean to say that the rumor was spread by the prince?" It took a while for Minghua to have the courage to say what he had guessed in his heart.
If these words were changed to Gu Wanwan, she would inevitably teach Gu Wanwan a lesson and be disrespectful to the prince again, but if she was herself, the more she thought about it, the more credible she felt.
Gu Wanwan smiled and said nothing, besides him, who else would raise such a rumor? By doing this, he was undoubtedly warning the subordinates of Youwangfu about the end of betrayal, that is, like Changde, he would evaporate from the world overnight.
I have to say that the intimidation effect of his doing this is very high, and I believe that for the time being, no one dares to betray anything.
It's just that what happened to Changde's corpse? At this point, she has always been very curious, according to her understanding of Yan Wushuang, it is not like he would secretly dispose of a traitor like this, what can be explained is that Chang De's body is gone, so he can only do this.
This is something she has never figured out, but the two have always been in a cold war, and no matter how curious she is, she will never ask.
Since Bai Yumei sent the letter to the palace, her heart has not been steady. Maybe it was because she knew the reason why Gu Qianxian wanted to deal with Gu Wanwan, she was afraid that her daughter was not that Gu Wanwan's opponent.
It's just that there has been no letter back from the palace, so she can only wait passively, the more anxious she becomes, and she doesn't dare to talk to Gu Zhenhai about this matter, so she has to make a private deal and let people secretly enter the palace to investigate.
According to the report, it turned out that her daughter Gu Xianxian had been placed under house arrest by the emperor.
"How so?" When Bai Yumei learned about this, she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the sharp-eyed maid beside her quickly supported her in time: "Big lady, you have to cheer up!" ”
"You go away!" Bai Yumei pushed away the maid who was holding her, stepped forward quickly and grabbed the man's collar, and asked urgently, "Tell me quickly, how is the queen's situation now?" Isn't it bad? ”
"This slave is not clear, the emperor sent someone to surround Changchun and the palace on the third and outer floors, even a mosquito can't fly in, how can the slave know the situation inside!"
"No, I'm going to see Slim." Bai Yumei's eyes were red, and she pushed the man away and quickly turned around.
"Big lady, you can't go!" Hearing this, the family member who was pushed aside hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "The servants have already inquired about those guards, and the emperor has made it clear that the queen is not allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to enter, even if you go, you will not see the queen." ”
"Then Mrs. Ben went to see the emperor and asked him why he put Xian Xian under house arrest." Bai Yumei was already confused, and when she thought of her daughter being placed under house arrest, she was not afraid of anything.
"I can't go! Big lady, think about it, and now you haven't even figured out what the queen has done, what should you say when you go to see the emperor? The family still stopped Bai Yumei and persuaded her with good words, "If you say something wrong, I'm afraid that even Mrs. yourself will have to get in, who will save the queen at that time?" ”
"You're right, Mrs. Ben needs to calm down and think about it." felt that Jiading's words were reasonable, and Bai Yumei finally stopped insisting on going her own way.
She knew very well that it was useless for her to be so reckless, she couldn't save Slim at all, and she had to come up with a good way as soon as possible.
After repatriating the subordinates, Bai Yumei sat quietly in the house alone, thinking carefully about the events of the past few days.
Xian Xian is a smart girl, she doesn't need to worry much about it since she was a child, she knows how to take advantage of opportunities, understands human feelings, and knows how to observe words and feelings, so she can become the queen smoothly.
What is it that he is under house arrest for? Thinking about it, it can only be because of that Gu Wanwan. Gu Wanwan's existence has brought a lot of disasters to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xian Xian will definitely not stand idly by when she knows this matter, she must have been calculated when dealing with Gu Wanwan.
Thinking about it like this, if you want to save Xian Xian, you have to start from Gu Wanwan!
In the breezy afternoon, Gu Wanwan ate some snacks and leaned on the soft couch to sleep. Since she is destined to live a peaceful life, then enjoy it at the right time! Time is gone, so the good days should be cherished.
It's like this afternoon, the sky is clear, and the sun is as warm as velvet, clinging to the skin, as if to evaporate all the unpleasant gases in the body.
When Gu Wanwan was relaxing, there was a sudden knock on the door, and she suddenly remembered that she was not wearing a veil, so she quickly turned sideways. If Minghua comes, she doesn't have to wear it, if it's someone else, she still has to protect this face.
Although he turned his back and didn't see the person at the door, Gu Wanwan still heard it, it was the housekeeper's voice.
"Jingqiu, you go and spread the word to the white girl, Mrs. Xiangye is here, and she wants to meet the white girl."
Bai Yumei is here? She wants to see herself? Doesn't think she's supposed to know she's here?
Gu Zhenhai shouldn't say to her, Ling'er is impossible, and it shouldn't be Qingcheng, right? So how did she find it? And for what?
I couldn't figure it out in my heart, so Gu Wanwan still took precautions, and when Bai Yumei came in, what she saw was her veiled face.
After Bai Yumei came in, Gu Wanwan let Jingqiu retreat, there were only two people left in the courtyard, and after looking at each other quietly for more than ten seconds, Bai Yumei spoke first.
"You're a wanwan, aren't you? I recognize it from your watery eyes. Bai Yumei approached with a smile on her face.
Listening to the meaning of her words, she already recognized her, and she didn't need to pretend anymore.
Gu Wanwan was not surprised, Bai Yumei could come here, it must be the news that she had received the truth. She didn't make a sound, just looked at Bai Yumei lightly.
"Wanwan, Auntie doesn't mean anything else, I'm just here to see you." Xu was aware of the defensiveness in her eyes, Bai Yumei didn't dare to approach again, and stopped and smiled at her.
