Chapter 269: Stirring Up the Storm (Addition)
After Zhou Jin retreated, Shi Miaoyu came back to his senses and asked, "What does the prince want to do?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi showed a cruel smile and said, "Stir up the storm." ”
The capital is not chaotic enough, or rather, it is not as chaotic as he wants.
If you want to fish in troubled waters, you have to let the water mix before you can move on to the next step, right?
Hearing Gu Qingchi's words, Shi Miaoyu remembered that dream for no reason.
She always knew that Gu Qingchi was never as incompetent as she was on the surface.
And from Gu Qingchi's words, it can also be known that he has been planning since a long time ago.
But this is Gu Qingchi, but in his previous life, he was willing to die for a self who was not too big a belly!
Thinking of this, a sour feeling spread in her heart.
In his past and present lives, he has never been sorry for himself, but she owes him a lot.
Until death is not clear.
Seeing Shi Miaoyu bowing her head and saying nothing, Gu Qingchi thought that she had scared her, but because her face softened, she grabbed Shi Miaoyu's hand and kissed it, and said, "Miaoyu, don't be afraid." ”
Sooner or later, he had to show her that he wasn't a good person.
His hands were also stained with blood, and his mind was as black as ink.
But he didn't want to pretend in front of her, even if he was so bad, he had to keep the only light by his side, even if he dyed her black.
Selfish like Gu Qingchi, the only fear is to lose Shi Miaoyu.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. ”
Hearing the man's almost whispering, Shi Miaoyu raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that the affection in Gu Qingchi's eyes was enough to drown himself.
She shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. ”
Seeing that Gu Qingchi didn't seem to believe it, Shi Miaoyu stretched out his hand and took the initiative to hug him, leaned his head on his shoulder, and said softly: "The prince just have to do what you want to do boldly, the concubine is by your side." If you kill, I will be the executioner, and if you are wounded, I will be the good doctor. ”
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi only felt as if his chest had been hammered by something, making his body tremble a little.
He had a thousand words to respond to Shi Miaoyu, but in the end, Gu Qingchi didn't say anything.
He just lifted Shi Miaoyu's chin, firmly grasped the lips that could say words that bewitched him, and locked it.
"Hmm-"
......
When Gu Qingchi woke up, the people in the house didn't know.
During this period, the two side concubines wanted to visit, but they were blocked by Shi Miaoyu's order.
The imperial doctor sent by the emperor also came to see him every day, but because of Shi Miaoyu's superior skills, the result of the imperial doctor every time was that the prince was still in danger of life and death.
After the Imperial Physician reported the same result again, the Emperor frowned and asked, "Is King Anling really injured so badly?"
Hearing this, the imperial doctor gave a salute and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, King Anling was hit by a sword in his chest, and there was only a fraction of a difference between life and death. However, after studying with Tai Hospital today, Weichen changed the prescription again, and maybe there will be improvement. ”
As a physician, the best skill is to exaggerate the disease. After all, it is their credit to make the disease more serious and cured. But if the illness is said to be light, but the patient dies because of it, it is their sin.
The people who see the doctor are all powerful people, and no one can afford to take this responsibility.
This imperial doctor has been in the palace all his life, and he is well versed in this way, and although Gu Qingchi's pulse has improved a little, because he is still unconscious, when he reports to the emperor, his condition has worsened by three points.
Hearing this, the emperor did not doubt it, but just nodded and said, "I know, you can go down." ”
"Yes. ”
After the imperial doctor went down, the emperor pinched his eyebrows and let out a long breath.
When he learned that Gu Qingchi had an accident, his first reaction was that Gu Qingchi was making trouble. After all, for so many years, although this younger brother has always been a straw bale on the face, he has never dared to underestimate him.
Even though so many years have passed, he still remembers how talented Gu Qingchi was when he was a child. is even so smart that he almost made the emperor edict as the crown prince!
Although Gu Qingchi is now obscure from everyone, after so many years of emperor career, no one can believe it, and he refuses to believe it.
At this moment, an inner chamberlain said respectfully outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Lord Zheng asks to see you." ”
Hearing this, the emperor immediately put down his hand and came to his senses: "Come in quickly." ”
After a while, I saw a tall middle-aged man walk in and kowtow to say goodbye: "Long live our emperor." ”
"Aiqing, please, what's going on with what I want you to investigate?"
On the day of Gu Qingchi's accident, he asked the inner chamberlain to visit, but the result he got back made him almost messed up.
The inner eunuch said that the assassin who assassinated Gu Qingchi had the totem of the prince's secret guard!
Every guard in the palace has a totem belonging to their faction, and the inner chamberlain has been by his side for decades, and he still knows the prince's totem very well.
So he didn't suspect that the inner eunuch would lie to him, but he just felt that someone was making trouble.
At first, he suspected Gu Qingchi, even if the imperial doctor said that Gu Qingchi was in danger, he still suspected Gu Qingchi.
Therefore, he asked Zheng Zecheng of Dali Temple, that is, the person who really mastered the Iron Guard now. Let him mobilize the Iron Guards and personally go to find out the ins and outs of this matter.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has already investigated the process, this is a file, please take a look. ”
There are not many Iron Guards, but they are all elites. In addition, Zheng Zecheng's personnel in Dali Temple are also known for their cruelty and meticulousness, so he quickly found out the facts and sent them over.
Hearing this, the emperor immediately took it, opened it and examined it carefully.
At first, his expression was calm, but the more he saw the end, the more gloomy his face became.
"Is that true?"
Hearing the emperor's deep inquiry, Zheng Zecheng's voice did not fluctuate at all, and he still said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, yes." ”
"Then what does Zheng Aiqing think?"
The emperor put the file down, and his expression was gloomy.
This is also ridiculous, and everything points to the fact that the prince is the real culprit behind the scenes!
The emperor thinks he knows a lot about the crown prince. Although sometimes he is a little ruthless, he will never order someone to kill a Gu Qingchi who is no threat to himself!
If the emperor wants to kill Gu Qingchi, it is because he is afraid of whether the throne is stable and that the secret will be revealed, then the prince killed Gu Qingchi for no reason at all!
So, this thing is definitely a bit boring!
And Zheng Zecheng's thoughts are the same.
Weichen suspects that there is something else wrong with this matter, but there are only so many clues at present, so he also asks the emperor to give Weichen a few more days. Weichen will definitely investigate this matter and give the prince justice. ”
Even if this was really done by the prince, he would have to take time to smooth it out.
After all, that's the next monarch.
Dudao is a son of heaven and a courtier, although Zheng Zecheng is not young, but he is younger than the emperor, he also pointed to being a veteran of the two dynasties, and he did not want to wait until the emperor died to withdraw from the center of power.
Therefore, if this matter is done well, it will be a stepping stone to the prince.
Zheng Zecheng made up his mind in his heart, but his face was respectful.
The emperor didn't see his ambition, but said in a deep voice: "It must be investigated!" He wanted to see who was behind this.
If it was really the prince who did it, it would be fine, but if someone wanted to frame the prince, then he would definitely not spare it!
......
Before Zheng Zecheng found out anything, rumors spread in Beijing, and the person at the center of the topic was either the prince or the prince.
The reason was that the military general who fought with the assassin that day, he originally only felt familiar with that totem, but when he saw the second prince later, he suddenly realized, isn't that the totem under the prince!
Because the second prince wanted to fight, he secretly asked people to investigate everything about the prince, although he lost a lot of people, but finally learned the news he wanted to know. The news he inquired about was very detailed, in addition to the prince's habits, hobbies and trusting people, etc., naturally including totems.
This military general is the confidant of the second prince, and he was still present at the time of the totem, so he naturally knew what it looked like.
After thinking about it this time, he immediately returned it to the second prince, and after summing it up, they decided to spread the matter.
The second prince naturally felt that things were boring, maybe someone wanted to frame the prince, but whether he was framed or not, he wanted to settle the matter.
If the ministers knew that the crown prince was such a person who would kill even his own uncle, how many people would support him?
The master and servant said that they would do it, so they ordered people to spread rumors, and exaggerated the assassination of King Anling marrying a side concubine, and mentioned the totem at the end.
And also mentioned it in passing: "The prince and King Anling are not much different, but the two are incompatible." Perhaps, it was the prince who was angry for a while, so he wanted to teach him a lesson, maybe he didn't want to poison him. ”
But there are not many people who believe in this.
After all, if you really don't want to kill him, then why is King Anling still uncertain about his life and death?
The more secretive the parties become, the more intense the matter becomes.
And the most fatal thing is that this time the rumors are different from the past, but they are spread among the family and court officials, and the people in the market do not know.
However, it is precisely such rumors that make people even more afraid.
Because the small people in the market can still be fooled, but those who are in the center of the powerful cannot be fooled.
The prince wanted to win over these people, but these people knew the gossip and inevitably talked about the prince behind his back.
These rumors spread more and more violently and outrageously, and by the time the prince learned about it, it was already known to everyone.
And the version of the rumor has turned into a peachy news.
"Among the side concubines who married King Anling, there is not a Miss Jiang family, who is a small scene of the prince, but she is younger than the prince. Perhaps, it's because you're sad?"
Hearing these rumors, the prince was so angry that he vented his temper in the East Palace, and smashed a lot of things in a row, until his heart calmed down, and then he ordered someone to announce the strategist to come, and said with an unkind expression: "This thing is not done by this palace, but someone is framing this palace, you say, how should this palace deal with it?"
These rumors, in fact, these strategists have known for a long time. It's just that I thought it was just a small fight, but no one thought that it would come to the point where the city is full of wind and rain now.
At this time, when the prince also knew, those strategists suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, because they considered it and said: "Your Highness, the rumors stop at the wise, and the subordinates think that they should let him go." ”
Hearing this, the prince suddenly sneered and asked, "How about you go to the palace?"
The state of affairs was allowed to develop to the point where it is today, if we had known about the disposition earlier, could it have developed so much as it is today!
