Chapter 24: Blood Splattered Court

"Okay, since you said that you were instructed by Gu Xiang, then the official asked you, do you have any evidence?" When Lord Liu heard Xiaohuan's accusation against Gu Fu'an, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he went around and around, and this case was finally related to Gu Fu'an.

"Slaves and maids naturally have, every time I exchange letters with Gu Xiang, just in case, slaves and maids put away letters every time, please take a look." Xiaohuan took out a few letters from his bad mouth and held them in his hand.

Hearing this, Lord Liu motioned to the military advisor on the side to take the letter.

He opened the letter and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was Gu Fu'an's handwriting, he sent someone to invite Gu Fu'an.

Gu Mansion

Gu traitor, who came back from the next dynasty, was holding Gu Wanchao to teach her to play chess, and she heard the small man outside report that someone from Dali Temple had asked Gu Fu'an to go to Dali Temple to cooperate in the investigation.

After Gu traitor asked Gu Wanchao to put him down, he walked out with the comer.

Gu Wanchao was worried about her mother's poisoning, and she ran out behind Gu traitor.

"Grandfather, you let Chao Chao accompany you." Gu Wanchao also wanted to know if the poisoning of his mother was really related to Gu traitors.

Gu Traitor thought that his granddaughter was worried about him, not to mention how moved he was.

[It's still my family who hurts the old man, and the old man hurts you in vain. 】

Gu Wanchao listened to Gu Traitor's heart, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"Okay, grandfather will take you."

In this way, the grandfather and grandson came to Dali Temple together.

Since Gu Fu'an was the prime minister, he could sit in the public court for interrogation, so Lord Liu arranged for Gu Fu'an to sit aside, after all, it was in the public court, and Gu Wanchao obediently stood beside Gu Traitor.

"Master Gu, now that the official has found out the person who poisoned him, however, this person said that everything was instructed by you, how do you argue about this matter?" Lord Liu looked at Gu Shi'an, who was sitting below, and asked.

"The old man didn't do anything wrong, so he was naturally fearless." Gu Fu'an firmly believes that those who are clean are self-purifying.

"Now Xiaohuan has taken out the letter you contacted him, the handwriting on this letter has been confirmed by the official, it is indeed Gu Xiang's handwriting, how does Gu Xiang want to explain?"

"There are more people in this world who can imitate handwriting, how can it be evidence against the old man?" Gu Fu'an's tone was full of disdain, and as for the letter in Lord Liu's hand, he didn't even give a single look, and he didn't give Lord Liu any face.

"Let me ask you, since you said that you said that the original appearance asked you to poison the eldest princess, how did the original appearance tell you?" Gu Shi'an looked at Xiaohuan and asked.

"Naturally, the slave is taught how to do it by letter." Xiaohuan looked at Gu Shi'an and confronted him.

"Very well, then ask you again, what does this letter say?"

Hearing this, Xiaohuan said the contents of the letter word for word.

Hearing what Xiaohuan said, the people watching outside couldn't help but sigh, "He is worthy of being a traitor, and he can do such a thing as mutilating the eldest princess." ”

"But isn't it, he has been a prime minister for so many years, and he doesn't know how much he has embezzled, and he is still not satisfied." The crowd exploded for a moment.

"Silence, silence." Lord Liu listened to the discussion in front of the door, picked it up and slapped the table a few times.

"Lord Liu, what she said matches the letter?" After asking Xiaohuan, Gu Shi'an turned his head and asked Lord Liu.

"Exactly, word for word." Lord Liu put down the letter in his hand and gave Gu Shi'an an an answer.

However, it was because of Xiaohuan's word-for-word that Lord Liu knew in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Fu'an.

"Read it again." Lord Liu instructed the military advisor to hand the letter to Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan took the letter and read it out without hurrying.

However, as soon as she read the first line, Lord Liu stopped her.

"Bold little rings. So far, you still don't tell the truth, saying, who are you instructed by, why did you poison the eldest princess? Why do you want to slander Gu Xiang?! ”

The eye-catching and sudden sound of slapping the table startled the people present, and the letter in Xiaohuan's hand fell out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Gu Wan glanced at the letter at the probe, and then realized that what Master Liu gave her and what she read out were not the same letter at all.

"Xiangye, Xiangye, the slaves and maids are all following your instructions, you must save the slaves and maids." To this day, Xiaohuan still insists that everything was instructed by Gu Fu'an.

Gu Wanchao couldn't help but shake her head when she looked at her stupid appearance.

"You can't read at all, how can you be instructed by letters?" Gu Xiang looked at Xiao Huan kneeling on the ground and sneered.

An officer and soldier picked up the letter and grabbed it in his hand and presented it to the people who were hearing it.

At this moment, everyone who originally thought that the real culprit behind the scenes was Gu Traitor realized that Xiaohuan wanted to pull Gu Traitor into the water.

The "I ......" conspiracy was exposed, and Xiaohuan was like a fish in her throat for a while, unable to say a word.

In the end, Xiaohuan saw that he couldn't make a mistake, and finally admitted that he was a Khitan man who was ambushed in the eldest princess's mansion, and the reason why he poisoned the eldest princess was because Murong Zhao died on the Khitan border, so as to divert his attention.

The reason why Gu Fu'an was blamed was because Gu Fu'an's name as a traitor, as long as Gu Fu'an did it. Everyone must believe it.

"Almost, I almost succeeded, I only know Khitan when I was born! Hahahaha, I'm unwilling! ”

The words fell, and without waiting for Lord Liu to pronounce a sentence on her, she slammed into the pillar, blood splattered in the court.

Gu Traitor was afraid of scaring Gu Wanchao, so he hurriedly raised his hand to cover her eyes and took her into his arms.

At this moment, Gu Wanchao heard Gu Traitor's heart, which made her almost forget to breathe for a while.

[This eldest princess obviously took poison herself, but she pushed this poor girl out to take the blame, it's a pity that this living life is a human life. 】

Self-poisoning? Why did the mother do this?

Until she returned to Gu's mansion, Gu Wanchao never recovered from the shock, she never figured out, if her mother really took poison herself, why did she sacrifice a life in vain?

In the end, the case of the eldest princess's poisoning ended with Xiaohuan crashing to death in the court, and Dali Siqing went to the imperial study with the answer and informed the emperor of the results of the investigation.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is bold, the minister really can't understand what the eldest princess directed and acted in this scene for?"

It turned out that this Dali Siqing had already known that the eldest princess was poisoning herself.

"I'm also curious, since you know that the eldest princess was not harmed, why do you follow the clues she gave you?" The Emperor asked rhetorically.

Lord Liu knelt on the ground with a 'bang', "Back to the emperor, the minister dared to speculate on the holy will and ask the emperor for forgiveness." The eldest princess has been poisoned for more than two months, and Weichen has already known the truth after only two days of investigation. ”

Lord Liu secretly glanced at the emperor and continued: "The minister found out that Gu Xiang was involved, but His Majesty was not angry, so Wei Chen dared to guess that His Majesty already knew that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Xiang. ”

"Okay, you Dali Siqing, you dare to speculate about the holy will, aren't you afraid that you are wrong?" The Emperor feigned anger and said.

"It turns out that Wechen is right."

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess asks to see you." The Grand Duke made a report outside.

"Stand down." Hearing this, the emperor dismissed Lord Liu.
