"This is all thanks to Jiang Taifu! Without your words and deeds for so many years, how could they cooperate so much? If we go one step later, your son has already boarded the boat going south, even if the forbidden army has great abilities , and can't catch them."

Gu Ning's light words made Jiang Taifu so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

That's right, it is indeed the nature of the Jiang family to disregard the interests of the family in order to protect themselves.

Gu Ning covered his chest with both hands, and looked at Jiang Taifu with a sneer in his eyes.

Suddenly, Jiang Taifu's expression changed drastically. Even when he knew that Jiang Qian was arrested, he had never been so absent-minded.

"You..." Jiang Taifu's lips moved a few times, but he couldn't express what was in his heart.

He wanted to question Gu Ning, whether Gu Ning's obsession with Chu Yunyi before was all a disguise, whether it was just a shield, just to cover up her real purpose - to bring down the Jiang family!

But in Gu Ning's beautiful and clear eyes, he didn't hide at all, just looking at him mockingly, completely confirmed Jiang Taifu's thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Taifu laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I was deceived by a young man after being an official for so many years. County lord, you have deceived this old man very hard!"

Gu Ning has a slim figure and elegant clothes, she chuckled, and typed back all the rest of Jiang Taifu's words: "You didn't miss it, I had a deep affection for the third prince before, but it's a pity... the third prince has another person he likes .”

"Also." Gu Ning's expression suddenly became serious, and she said solemnly, "My grandmother and grandfather are all loyal people who are loyal to the country. What you did to expose was not for personal grievances, but for the sake of the people! Don't treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Gu Ning said these words loudly, Jiang Taifu was stunned for a moment, and could no longer refute.

Even though he regards the Pei family as an enemy, he has to admit that the Pei family has never been in the same boat with them over the years, nor has they done anything wrong to the people.

"Your Pei family's family style is indeed good." Jiang Taifu shook his head, "I lost."

As he spoke, he walked into Dali Temple without looking back.

Seeing his hunched forward back, Gu Ning was always worried, and it never dissipated with the arrest of everyone in the Jiang family.

"What's wrong?" The Eldest Princess asked with concern.

Gu Ning stepped forward in small steps, and gently held the hand of the eldest princess. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start.

The Eldest Princess was very patient, and she looked at Gu Ning tenderly.

After a long time, Gu Ning said worriedly: "Grandmother, Jiang Taifu has been an official for decades, and his scheming and methods are all good. Do you think... he will give up so easily? Don't forget, even if the queen is deposed, the entire Jiang family will be defeated." They were imprisoned in heaven, but as long as the third prince is still there, they will have hope."

"If I were Mrs. Jiang, after so many years of painstaking planning, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will never give up easily."

After hearing the words, the eldest princess' peaceful eyes fluctuated a little.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Your worries are not unreasonable, but right now all we can do is wait."

"Even though the third prince's mother family has become the emperor's thorn in the side, he is the emperor's favorite prince after all. If the emperor doesn't dislike him, we can't touch him." The eldest princess was worried about being misunderstood by Gu Ning, and explained in detail, " But as long as he makes some moves and shows his feet, the emperor will deal with him without us."

"But now, it's not the time for us to do it."

Gu Ning understands the concerns of the eldest princess. The emperor is suspicious. It seems that the Pei family has won a big victory today, but it is precisely because of this that after eradicating the Jiang family, the emperor will doubt the Pei family. If he treats Chu Yunyi again If you start, the Pei family will be in jeopardy.

The survival of a family is a matter of the emperor's thought. Even if the Pei family holds military power, if the emperor really wants to kill, the Pei family will also be in crisis.

Gu Ning responded softly: "Let's just wait, it's not us who should be anxious, but the Third Prince."

I'm afraid that the current Chu Yunyi is already jumping in a hurry in the third prince's residence.

……

Just as Gu Ning thought, the Third Prince's Mansion was in turmoil at this time, and everyone was like a headless fly with no direction.

First, the empress was deposed, and then the entire Jiang family was imprisoned. This series of major events did not give Chu Yunyi the slightest chance to react. After he got the news, everything was settled, and there was no room for maneuver.

Chu Yunyi was sitting in the study, surrounded by several aides, discussing this matter in a hurry. They were constantly fighting for hegemony, and most of them were quarreling around whether to completely cut off the relationship with the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family is not only involved in smuggling, but is also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. If His Highness doesn't make a clear ties with them, and the Emperor blames them, I'm afraid... His Highness will also be implicated!"

"That's not the case. Since the emperor decided to deal with the Jiang family, he must have suspected His Highness. We might as well leave Beijing now. With the troops left by the Taifu, we might not be able to fight the second prince!"

You talk about yours, I talk about mine, these staff members discussed for a full hour, and when their mouths were dry, they didn't have a unified opinion.

Chu Yunyi was holding the armrest of the chair, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, and he was very depressed.

"Enough!" He yelled sharply, interrupting the discussion of several people, "Do you think this king can still leave Beijing at this point? If you don't believe me, you can go outside the mansion to see, those vendors, those Passers-by, see if they are ordinary people, or the eyeliner sent by the imperial army!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped immediately.

Indeed, because of the emperor's suspicion, he did not allow the imperial army to station outside the third prince's mansion, and he was already showing favor to Chu Yunyi.

"Your Highness! I have a proposal!"

Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open forcefully. Gu Qingqiu stood in the light and shadow, his hair slightly disheveled, looking at him panting. Behind Gu Qingqiu, several guards knelt down one after another.

"The subordinates have already informed Wangfei that you are discussing matters in the study and no one is seen, but Wangfei insists on not listening, and the subordinates and others dare not...not dare to hurt Wangfei, which makes Wangfei enter the study."

Seeing Gu Qingqiu, Chu Yunyi lost the love he had at the beginning.

All his feelings for Gu Qingqiu were diluted by these successive incidents. If Gu Qingqiu hadn't concealed his life experience until Gu Ning pointed it out, he wouldn't be so passive!His mother's queen was abolished, and his mother's whole family was thrown into prison, but he could only wait here for the news!

Thinking of this, his eyes turned red. In order to maintain his image in front of the staff, he did not show a hideous face, but asked word by word: "What are you doing here? You are a woman, what do you know?" Is it important for the court?"

"I don't understand the important affairs of the court! But I understand the embarrassing mood of the emperor!" Gu Qingqiu clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, and the sharp nails dug deep into the palms of his hands. Until now, only pain can make her Stay sane and don't turn into a hysterical shrew.

While everyone hadn't recovered, Gu Qingqiu quickly said what he had been planning for a long time: "The emperor has always suspected that the princes and their mother's family are plotting against each other. Now that his health is getting worse, these suspicions When the Jiang family was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, on the surface it seemed the best choice to sever ties with the Jiang family, but in the eyes of the emperor, you and the Jiang family are also connected by blood, but you can do nothing for your own benefit. Cut off the connection with the Jiang family mercilessly, I'm afraid he will alienate you even more!"

Several aides nodded repeatedly, and the aide who agreed to leave the capital was even more bright-eyed: "What the princess said is very true, we will leave Beijing immediately, even if there are eyeliners watching, as long as we go south by boat, and then go to Shudi Yuezhou, let's..."

"Since the emperor is suspicious, he will never let His Highness leave the capital." Gu Qingqiu flatly rejected his proposal, changed from his previous gentle and gentle demeanor, and said loudly, "In my concubine's opinion, it is better to let His Highness enter immediately. Gong, plead for the Jiang family!"

Under the surprised eyes of several people, she was still calm and composed: "You are the emperor's own son, and tiger poison does not eat children. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, the emperor will never touch you! And you are in danger of the Jiang family. At this moment, you don’t hesitate to risk the danger to intercede, which can not only show that you are a person who misses old love, but also let the emperor dispel his doubts about you."

"What's more, Jiang Taifu has been standing in the court for so many years, and he always has some abilities. The outcome has not yet been decided. Why does His Highness flee the capital in such a hurry?"

"Yes!"

Mr. Zhuang, Chu Yunyi's most trusted aide, slapped the table heavily, and looked at Gu Qingqiu with bright eyes.

The next moment, he bowed to Gu Qingqiu: "The concubine is a genius! I'm ashamed of myself!"

"The concubine is a great talent!" Several other staff members also saluted.

Gu Qingqiu stood where he was, and smiled gently at the few people, completely unable to see her distressed appearance before.

"Your Highness."

Gu Qingqiu let out a gentle cry, bringing Chu Yunyi back to his senses.

He looked at Gu Qingqiu with complicated eyes, and wanted to say something, but under the watchful eyes of several staff members, he had to suppress those words, and said to Gu Qingqiu in a low voice: "Go back first, and wait for the king to discuss the matter." After that, I will find you."

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu's eyes lit up immediately, and she moved towards Chu Yunyi with a smile, and walked out briskly step by step.

Seeing that her back was still there, Chu Yunyi couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while.

At this time, Mr. Zhuang walked up to him, watched Gu Qingqiu's leaving back together with him, and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, family background is certainly important, but the position of princess should always be reserved for wise people."

"But she..."

"What the concubine said just now gave the subordinates a plan." Mr. Zhuang shook his head and interrupted Chu Yunyi, "Whether it is to the concubine or to the Jiang family, if you maintain your previous attitude, then you will be in the same position as before." In the eyes of the emperor, it can add a lot of points!"

"A son who misses the past is always more trustworthy than a son who is merciless for his own interests."
