The big stone in his heart was slightly released, he had been planning this thing for a long time, and now he was finally able to lock Gu Qingchi up from the beginning, and then he just had to make these things public, and then someone would point out the courtiers, and Gu Qingchi's fate could be decided!

Ever since Qi Minglei had sent back the secret letter before, the emperor knew that Gu Qingchi couldn't stay anyway. Although this method is said to be done now, as long as this obstacle can be cleared, it is still very worthwhile.

......

However, the emperor did not expect that his plan would ultimately fall short.

After Gu Qingchi's matter was made public, it immediately caused a shock in the court.

Originally, some of the courtiers had already written a letter, asking Gu Qingchi to be punished with a correct code, and the emperor only had to wait for two or three more days to justifiably dispose of Gu Qingchi.

But at this juncture, a group of people came from Anling County, and they also brought Wanmin umbrellas and blood books.

The words on it wept blood, and what was written was Gu Qingchi's credit, and at the same time, there were even more people who were good at painting, and the portraits of the people who went to collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were pasted all over the capital.

The portrait was lifelike, and after being deeply examined by someone with a heart, he learned who he was.

It is Qi Minglei's protégé, named Liu Quan.

Gu Qingchi's matter was on the cusp, but when such news was discovered, a courtier immediately returned to the emperor.

And those courtiers who Gu Qingchi secretly befriended also asked for his life one after another, asking the emperor to return justice.

After tossing like this, the final result is that it falls below most people's glasses.

Excessive taxation is a trap, but it is a fact that the epidemic has merit.

Gu Qingchi is not guilty, but meritorious.

The emperor looked at this snowflake-like twist and turn, but in just half a month, the courtiers' mouths changed direction. Rao is the emperor, but he can't control the mouths of the courtiers.

"Whoa-" With a bang, the emperor pushed all the folds on the table to the ground, and said angrily: "I'm angry!"

He tried his best, but in the end, it fell short, and it was almost bleeding.

The eunuchs waiting in the imperial study wanted to cut off their ears so that they could not hear the emperor's angry words.

Each of these sentences is a secret that can ask for your own head.

After the emperor's anger was vented, he heard a little eunuch outside the door trembling and saying, "Your Majesty, the thirteen ministers including the Shangshu of the Criminal Department ask to see you." ”

Most of these ministers have written excerpts to exonerate Gu Qingchi.

The Emperor didn't have to think about it, and he knew what they were here for.

But it was only when he knew that the emperor felt more and more angry.

He gritted his teeth, and finally held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Announce them in!"

"Long live my emperor, long live it. ”

A group of courtiers asked for peace, and without saying a word of greeting, they talked about their intentions.

"King Anling has made great contributions this time, but he was wronged and imprisoned, which is unheard of in Western Chu, and I hope that the emperor will be clear and innocent as soon as possible. ”

These courtiers meant the same thing in and out of their words, and the emperor was so angry that he had to have a generous smile on his face, and his face was almost cramped.

"All Aiqing is reasonable, come here, King Xuan'an Ling is coming. ”

Not long after, Gu Qingchi was brought in again.

These ten days in prison did not seem to have affected him.

When I went, I was dressed in white and proud, but now I walk in again, and I am still full of grace.

When the emperor saw him like this, he suddenly gritted his teeth.

This kind of Gu Qingchi is the true face of undisguised. How did he go blind in the first place to think it was a docile sheep?

Now, the emperor doesn't know how much he regrets that he didn't get rid of Gu Qingchi as soon as possible in the name of benevolence.

Now that the wolf has revealed his true colors, he wants to get rid of it, but it is extremely difficult!

Not only does the courtiers not want to rebound, but also has an upright reason, assassination can not be killed, and he has been repeatedly frustrated, which simply makes him so angry that he vomits blood in his heart!

"See Brother Huang. ”

When Gu Qingchi saluted, there was always a smile on his lips, but the emperor clearly saw the sarcasm from within.

He's mocking himself!

The emperor suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe out, and he had to force a smile and said, "Get up, you have suffered all these days." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Qingchi's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Brother is not bitter, after all, the heavens are clear, and right and wrong are always clear." ”

These words seemed to mean something, and it made the emperor vomit, and even the praise brought out a bit of gnashing of teeth: "You are right, this time you went to Anling County to risk your life, you did a good job on this errand." ”

Gu Qingchi accepted all the praise of the emperor, and said casually: "Thank you for the praise of the imperial brother." ”

With the emperor's leading praise, the other courtiers naturally did not hesitate to praise Gu Qingchi.

Gu Qingchi stood in place with his eyes down, but he could see the emperor's expression in the afterglow of his eyes.

The look in his eyes was eager to eat himself, but he didn't care that he couldn't do it, but he looked angry.

It's really nice to see him like this.

"Brother Huang, have you ever found out, who slandered the younger brother?"

Gu Qingchi was happy, and he wanted to stab the emperor in the heart.

And his words smoothly changed the emperor's face: "It has been verified that this matter is planted by Qi Minglei's greed, although his person is dead, I will not let go of anyone who should be involved in this matter, and I will give you and the courtiers an explanation." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor was very angry. When Qi Minglei originally died, he still felt very sad, after all, this was a courtier who had followed him all his life. But some time ago, I learned that this Qi Minglei was unfavorable, so that people grabbed the handle, and now that others are dead, they have left a mess, and if they don't handle it well, they will make people criticize themselves as the emperor.

As a result, the emperor's compassion for Qi Minglei was all dispersed, and all that was left was anger. He had nowhere to vent his anger, and in the end it all came out of Qi Minglei's family.

He himself has been crushed and dusted, and now that the matter has been revealed, he can only be angry with the Qi family and his protégés.

It's just a pity that these chess pieces, instead of calculating Gu Qingchi, they have lost a lot of people and horses!

Therefore, when the emperor said these words, his expression was extremely gloomy.

Gu Qingchi was stunned, and even after he finished speaking, he saluted and said, "Thank you Imperial Brother for presiding over justice, Imperial Brother Shengming." ”

His voice fell, and all the courtiers also flattered the emperor one after another.

However, the emperor was not happy at all, because he could clearly feel that Gu Qingchi, who was now without disguise, was becoming more and more hateful.

When I came out of the study, it was already dark.

Gu Qingchi walked in front, while these courtiers followed behind him. Most of these people have some private friendship with Gu Qingchi, and they are mostly comforting in their words.

Seeing that the gate of the palace was in sight, Gu Qingchi thanked everyone, said a few words of greeting, said goodbye to everyone, and got into the carriage.

The afterglow of the setting sun was swallowed up by the last dark color, and the sky and the earth were all the same colors as ink.

Gu Qingchi sat in the carriage, and his expression was let go.

As early as when he was in Anling County, he knew what the emperor wanted to do to him, and it was at that time that he asked his henchmen to spread some rumors among the people.

The people are the ones who know the good and the bad, and they are also the most easily provoked.

Under the leadership of people with a heart, there was the Wanmin umbrella and blood book that later went to Beijing.

As for the portrait......

As long as you have connections, it is not difficult to find out the truth.

However, Gu Qingchi didn't expect that Qi Minglei, the old horseman, was actually secretly *.

And in his own affairs, the prince is also involved!

Gu Qingchi's lips hooked up a touch of coldness, and he saw the carriage stop.

The palace has arrived.

Gu Qingchi got out of the car, and he heard the housekeeper say respectfully: "Come in, sir, I see that it is going to rain." ”

The wind is blowing at this time, and there is really a posture of wind and rain coming.

Gu Qingchi glanced at the sky and muttered in a low voice: "It's going to change." ”

......

Shi Miaoyu returned to the capital in early July.

At that time, her body was almost raised, and she had wanted to go back for a long time, but things in Beijing had not been calm before, so Gu Qingchi sent a letter and asked her to keep it in the city and not let her go back.

By the time Gu Qingchi's letter came, it was already early July.

Shi Miaoyu's things had already been packed, and after getting the letter, he took the group back to the capital.

Although she was leaving the city, she was still very clear about the news of the capital, and she was relieved to learn that Gu Qingchi's hardships were fortunate in a happy ending.

It's just that when I think of the emperor's secret tricks from time to time, I feel that the roots of my teeth are itching, and at the same time, I can't help but worry about Gu Qingchi.

When Gu Qingchi forbears before, the emperor still refuses to let him go. Now that Gu Qingchi is sharp, I am afraid that the emperor will regard him as a thorn in his side.

Because he was worried in his heart, on the way back, Shi Miaoyu hurried up.

When I arrived in the capital, it was only the tenth day of the seventh month.

Seeing Shi Miaoyu come back, the others were fine, but Cai He and Green Branch were red first.

"Princess, you're back!"

Shi Miaoyu looked at the familiar Anling Palace, and her expression was also a little moved. When she went out, she never thought that she had been outside for months, but fortunately, she finally came back without danger.

The maids hugged Shi Miaoyu into the house, the green branch was steady, pulled a handful of lotus, and waited for Shi Miaoyu to wash and rest.

Shi Miaoyu was in a hurry for a long time, and he was really tired, so he simply freshened up, and went to sleep first.

By the time I woke up, the sky had already been tinted with twilight.

These days of running and tiring have only at this time I have a sense of steadiness. Shi Miaoyu stretched, and a smile spread on her lips.

It's better to be at home.
