Prime Minister's House.

When Wang Chengtai came home after a busy day, he saw that there were many items in the hall, and all kinds of exquisite gift boxes were piled up in half of the living room.

"What's going on? Where did all this stuff come from? ”

Seeing these things, his face suddenly changed, and he scolded loudly.

Hearing this, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly ran in, "Xiangye, these are ......"

Before the next person's words were finished, Wang Chengtai said directly: "Send it back quickly, send it all back to the original image, where did it come from, where did it go." ”

"Uncle, why is this?"

As he was talking, several figures walked out of the back hall, and it was Gu Ling'er who spoke, and she was also holding a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Xiangfu.

Lin Bai followed behind the two and looked at Wang Chengtai with some amusement.

Wang Chengtai looked at the group and was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "It turned out to be the third princess, why are you here?" You brought all these things? ”

Gu Linger smiled and asked, "Otherwise, who does my uncle think brought it?" ”

Wang Chengtai smiled faintly.

Gu Ling'er said again: "This is Ling'er's filial piety to her aunt, and her uncle-in-law will not agree to send Ling'er back." ”

Wang Chengtai said: "The original appearance you sent is too little!" The dignified king of the southwest, the majestic development of the southwest, your family's silver can't be spent! How much is that? ”

Gu Linger smiled.

Lin Bai also stepped forward to salute.

The atmosphere was quite congenial.

Wang Chengtai glanced at Lin Bai, his eyes were a little meaningful, and Mrs. Xiangfu left the two of them to eat in the Xiangfu, and arranged for the meal to retire under the pretext of giving a few people time to talk alone.

Wang Chengtai opened his mouth and said: "It is rare for the king of the southwest to come, and the prime minister's mansion is shining. ”

Gu Linger said coquettishly: "Uncle, if you talk to your husband like this, you will see the outside." ”

Wang Chengtai laughed, looked at Gu Linger and said, "It seems that you have really found a girl you like, and my uncle-in-law was really afraid that you wouldn't be able to get married." ”

His so-called inability to marry is naturally not because he can't really get married, but because Xiao Jiu has always refused to marry.

Gu Linger's face flushed slightly when she heard this.

The great genius smiled.

Wang Chengtai said again: "If your queen mother sees today, she will be very happy." ”

Referring to her mother, Gu Linger was a little sad.

Wang Chengtai smiled and shook his head, "That's it!" It's all a long time ago, living in the moment is the most important thing, I'm afraid there is something wrong with the two of you coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion today! ”

Wang Chengtai asked, "Because of the case?" ”

Gu Ling'er smiled, "My uncle-in-law is really like a god." ”

Wang Chengtai shook his head and smiled, and said, "You don't know what this case means, do you?" ”

Lin Bai said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Wang Chengtai paused, "First answer a question about Benxiang, why do you want to take this case?" ”

Gu Linger blurted out: "Naturally, we want to find out the real culprit." ”

Wang Chengtai smiled, looked at Lin Bai and said, "I want to hear your answer." ”

Gu Linger was a little surprised when she asked.

The corners of Lin Bai's mouth rose slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "Is Xiangye afraid that we won't be able to find the real murderer, or are we afraid that we won't be able to deal with the real murderer?" ”

Wang Chengtai said: "Both! ”

"Will there be evidence in this case? No, they don't need to take action in person, everything that should be destroyed has been ruined, and in the end it is nothing more than ripping off and fighting for strength. ”

"The real culprit you found may just be the real culprit that other people want you to think, but is it? Without evidence, it doesn't mean anything. ”

"Even if you have evidence and find the real culprit, what can it mean? In the end, it is nothing more than fighting for strength. ”

"This is the Wu Dynasty, not the Li Dynasty, let alone the Southwest, you are only bad and not good for you when you get involved."

He clearly cared about the two of them.

Because as Lin Bai said before, this case is not the best, and when it is about to be exposed, maybe it has not been exposed, there will inevitably be one party who can't help but take action.

However, for the sake of the lady, it should be checked.

Immediately, Lin Bai said: "Thank you for your concern, Xiang Ye is right, maybe there is indeed no evidence in this case, but why do we need evidence?" ”

"As for the real murderer, how do you know that we can't deal with it?"

Wang Chengtai was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Bai in surprise, and then said: "It seems that the King of the Southwest is confident, but he is worried about his own appearance." ”

Lin Bai said: "Xiangye is serious, this is a matter of the Wu Dynasty, if it is a last resort, Lin really doesn't want to participate, but Ling'er wants to know the truth, and it involves Lin's mother, Lin has to try his best." ”

"Moreover, Xiangye must not want the first emperor to die in vain!"

Wang Chengtai glanced at him and sighed, "That's it!" Now that you know what's at stake, ask! Want to know what? ”

Lin Bai smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Xiangye, before the first emperor died, did he say anything about the edict of the throne?" ”

Wang Chengtai's eyes were deep, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Before His Majesty died, he had been thinking about this issue, but it had never been finalized. ”

Gu Linger said: "Don't even your uncle-in-law know? ”

Wang Chengtai shook his head, "Your Majesty is deep in thought, it is difficult to guess who you want, if anyone really knows, that person is likely to be your mother." ”

"Mother?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Lin Bai's eyes.

"Not bad!"

Wang Chengtai nodded and said, "Why was your mother in the imperial study at that time?" It is likely that because of this incident, because of the help of the former queen and your mother, Your Majesty had special trust in your mother, and it is likely that he will consult with your mother about the establishment of the prince. ”

"Even the prime minister suspects that the edict of succession may be in the hands of your mother."

"Why wasn't your mother tortured? On the one hand, it is because of your relationship, and on the other hand, the major princes are not sure whether your mother has a legacy in her hands, so they dare not act rashly. ”

Lin Bai was stunned, there was still such a thing in feelings.

However, these are not what he cares about, the edict of the throne or something, and who it is passed on, it is all the business of the Wu Dynasty.

What he cared about was that Gu Qian knew that he didn't know the new monarch candidate in the heart of the first emperor.

Wang Chengtao paused and said: "As far as I know, two days before His Majesty's death, he summoned the second prince and the fourth prince successively, and talked about the canonization of the new monarch. ”

Gu Linger's face changed slightly, two days before he died?

Is this a coincidence? Apparently impossible.

It was only when he learned about the canonization of the new monarch that he was unwilling, so he killed the killer.

So, who is the father's favor? Whose hand did it?

Gu Linger couldn't help but look at Wang Chengtai.

Wang Chengtai shook his head, "I don't know what my majesty said, I'm afraid only they know, but with the character of the fourth prince, ......"

He shook his head as he spoke, and didn't continue.

However, the implication faintly revealed in the words is still obvious, Gu Qian madman is as his name suggests, more flamboyant, arrogant, and has many supporters, if His Majesty is interested in him, I am afraid it is not the current situation.

Gu Qianmo is also as his name, silent.

Lin Bai couldn't help frowning slightly.
