Chapter 120: Confession
Bright morning.
Several palace maids are sweeping the court in the Internal Affairs Office.
The maid of the first palace suddenly heard a "knock" footsteps.
Then, with a "bang", the Zhu Gate of the Internal Affairs Office was pushed open heavily.
I saw a large number of black-clothed Praetorian Guards suddenly pouring in outside.
When the palace maids and eunuchs saw this situation, they were so frightened that the sprinkler tools in their hands fell to the ground.
Could it be that they have committed something?
The Praetorian Guards, lined up on both sides of the main road, held knives in their hands, and their faces were terrifying.
Then an eight-foot-tall man of extraordinary appearance strode from the Praetorian Guard.
This person, the palace maids and eunuchs, all recognized it as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the servant Huai'en.
"Servant Commander!" The old eunuch with Buddha dust in his hand saw that something was wrong, and stepped forward with a smile.
"I wonder why Lord Servant came here today?"
The old eunuch turned his head to look at the Praetorian Guards and said with a smile.
"Princess," Servant Huaien's face was solemn, "You have come just in time, I have come to the Internal Affairs Office today in the name of the emperor to find a rebel." ”
"Rebels?" The prince shook off the dust gently.
"The servant commander doesn't want to joke with the old slave, my internal affairs office is full of palace maids and eunuchs, but there are no rebels hidden."
Hiding a thief is a great crime!
"Yes or no, you'll find out with a search!" He didn't want to talk nonsense.
He turned to the Praetorian Guards and shouted, "Search! ”
The Praetorian Guards received the order, and immediately divided into several roads and rummaged around.
"Alas, you ......" the prince watched the Praetorian Guards scramble around his territory, and suddenly could not sit still.
But he reached out and stopped him.
"Princess!" Servant Wynne's voice was as cold as ice, "Didn't you just hear me clearly? ”
"I am here on the orders of the emperor, and I hope you will make it convenient."
"Otherwise," said Servant Huaien, who touched the Kunwu knife at his waist that sharpened iron like clay, "don't blame me for being rude." ”
The prince's eyes swept the big knife that was a foot long, and he froze in place.
A short time later, the Praetorian Guards approached with a woman in tow.
One of them said to the servant, "Commander, the man has been found." ”
"Well," Servant Huaien nodded slightly, "Princess, I have offended a lot today, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Take people away!"
"Wait!" The prince rubbed his faint old eyes, looked at the palace maid who was escorted by the Praetorian Guard, and exclaimed.
"Isn't this Miss Lan Hui?"
The prince's face was full of doubts, "Is the servant commander mistaken?" ”
"This Lan Hui girl is a celebrity around the emperor, and she has not committed any crimes."
"Miss Lan Hui, say it quickly, you didn't commit any crime, you were wronged!"
Lan Hui was silent at this time, her eyes dodging.
"Make no mistake, she's looking for her." Servant Huaien said disdainfully.
After saying that, a group of people left in a huff.
The rest of the panicked scary were still in place.
Above the court.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you arrested a palace maid in the Internal Affairs Office today."
Gu Fengyang held the wat board in one hand, stroked his beard in the other, and squinted.
Before Gu Qingyue could answer, Mrs. Yang said sarcastically.
"Zhen Guogong's news is really better than that of spies!"
This old guy, when will he come back to the court?
"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, Mrs. Yang should be confined to his home now!"
Gu Fengyang didn't pay attention to Mrs. Yang, but turned his head to Gu Qingyue and asked with a grin.
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers also looked at Gu Qingyue suspiciously.
"Naturally, the emperor lifted the ban for the old ministers." Mrs. Yang frowned.
Gu Qingyue was interrupted again.
It's really uncomfortable to watch these two old horsemen come and go.
"Mrs. Yang has indeed passed the ban period."
Gu Qingyue said to the ministers.
When she ordered Mrs. Yang to be banned in the mansion before, she did not specify when the ban would be lifted.
"Listen to what the emperor means, the matter of the Tugu Hun people has been investigated, right?"
Gu Fengyang then asked.
As soon as he said this, all the ministers were also concerned.
"Your Majesty, is Mrs. Yang innocent?"
"The Tuyuhun people didn't get involved in Da Yao's horse farm business, right?"
Gu Qingyue's head was so big when she was asked this question.
She has been busy investigating the person who poisoned Lu Huaijin recently.
Tuyuhun's matter was put behind by her.
"It's still up for discussion at this point." Gu Qingyue first made an unclear conclusion on this matter.
Without waiting for the courtiers to understand what she meant, Gu Qingyue continued.
"Just now the town Guogong said that I filmed the Praetorian Guards this morning and went to the Internal Affairs Office to arrest a prisoner."
"It is true."
Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows lightly and said.
"I believe that all Aiqing are very puzzled, why the regent has not been in court for more than a month."
"I specially explained this matter to the Aiqing today."
Gu Qingyue said, gesturing to Hui'er who was standing behind the curtain.
"Bring people in."
After a while, a palace maid with a bit of a posture slowly walked out from behind and knelt in front of Gu Qingyue.
The courtiers were at a loss when they saw this ordinary palace maid.
What did Your Majesty call a palace maid for?
However, Gu Fengyang's expression did not show a trace of surprise.
Gu Qingyue saw it in her eyes and sneered in her heart.
"If I ask you next, you just have to answer."
After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she turned to the courtiers and said, "The regent Yue Yu did not go to court because he was assassinated by gangsters and still needs to recuperate. ”
"Huh?"
The ministers let out a sigh.
But Gu Qingyue's next words surprised them even more.
"The original purpose of this scoundrel was to take my life, and if it weren't for the regent, I wouldn't be able to stand here properly."
"Your Majesty, can the mastermind behind the scenes be found out?"
While the ministers were still immersed in sighs, Master Hu looked at Gu Qingyue's face and threw out the main question first.
"Alas," Gu Qingyue pretended to be ruthless and helpless.
"The gangster killed himself."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
The gangster did not commit suicide, but was beaten to death by him, but he bribed the jailer in time to cremate the body.
After finishing the incident, he said to Gu Qingyue that the gangster had confessed, and the mastermind behind it was Zhenguo Gong.
Originally, he was afraid of Gu Qingyue's questioning, but he didn't expect this girl to firmly believe in what he said.
Then he just waited to see the show.
He Yang Taifu and Gu Fengyang have always been wrong, but they didn't expect that this guy would want to usurp power like himself.
Unfortunately, this man was impatient and reckless.
No, it's already exposed.
At the same time, the people who breathed a sigh of relief because of Gu Qingyue's words were Zhen Guogong.
He had already gotten the news that the killer couldn't stand the torture in turn and committed suicide directly.
But before he died, the killer was instructed by himself in front of Gu Qingyue, and he must have been instructed by Mrs. Yang.
"Not only that, but the behind-the-scenes instigator also sent someone to poison the regent's decoction plum, causing the regent to almost die of poison!"
