Xiao Yanlin hurried back and sent a message to the secret guards, asking them to dig out the gold again.

The secret guards were confused, but their obedience and loyalty to Xiao Yanlin were engraved in their bones. Although they were confused, they still followed the instructions.

When Xiao Yanlin returned to the Hou Mansion, he found that Gu Baiyu had woken up.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Gu Baiyu leaned on the bedside, her beautiful eyebrows frowning slightly: "I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep well."

"Don't worry, my father-in-law said that if it doesn't work out, he will take the imperial decree and return to his hometown, and Yi'er will have grandchildren."

He sat next to Gu Baiyu, gently caressing Gu Baiyu's belly with his big hands, and a fierce look flashed in his lowered eyes.

In the past, he didn't bother to fight for anything because he was alone and had no worries. Now he has someone he wants to protect. If someone is really bold and wants to hurt the person he protects, he doesn't mind letting everyone know his strength. !

Early the next morning, Prime Minister Gu revealed this matter during the morning court, and the whole court was in an uproar!

Due to the recent incident in the northwest, the emperor's mind has always been tense. Now that he heard such news, he felt extremely irritable.

"The man named Liu is your protégé. What happened to the money! Call him over!"

Liu Zhuzi's official position was very small and he was not even qualified to go to court. However, because of some rumors in Kyoto, the emperor was still impressed by him.

Finally, he added: "The gold is buried in the geography of the vegetables grown for you. Do you really not know this?"

Prime Minister Gu said openly: "Of course it doesn't matter, but I also feel that this matter is of great importance, so I did not tell him in advance, but came directly to report to Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Gu's move was so sudden that he gave the Second Prince no chance to prepare. He hadn't even reacted yet!

What Liu Zhuzhu did was indeed his instigation.

In fact, he has disliked Prime Minister Gu for a long time.

Prime Minister Gu, a veteran of the two dynasties, had a very important position in the court. He had been trying to win over him, but Prime Minister Gu not only refused to join his ship, but even opposed him at every turn! Only then did he come up with this idea.

Moreover, he actually did not intend to reveal this matter so early. He only wanted to wait until the emperor was older and he and the prince really competed. If Prime Minister Gu didn't know the truth and went to help the prince, then he would Confusing right and wrong, Prime Minister Gu was ruined and his reputation was ruined.

However, bringing this matter out now completely disrupted his rhythm.

This time is wrong, there is a big problem with this time!

Sure enough, Prime Minister Gu said: "Your Majesty, after all, this matter is related to the old minister. To avoid suspicion, let someone investigate."

In fact, if nothing goes wrong in the northwest, the second prince will definitely take this opportunity to take over the case. Will he have the final say on whether it is right or wrong?

And in a previous life that he didn't know about, the second prince did exactly that.

He was angry because of the Gu family's daughter's marriage, and because of Prime Minister Gu's stubbornness, so he took action. At that time, he was innocent in front of the emperor and asked for orders to investigate the matter. No one could object. He took advantage of the situation and slandered Prime Minister Gu. Exiled...

But now, because of Gu Baiyu's awakening, many things have not developed according to the plot of the previous life. The current second prince, not only did not get any benefits from the northwest incident, but also caused a lot of trouble. And the matter with Prime Minister Gu happened to be a similar problem. , Unless the emperor is mentally ill, it is impossible for him to investigate this matter.

The emperor thought for a moment. Before the second prince could speak, Zuo Lingfeng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me take over this matter?"

The emperor thought for a moment and actually agreed to the proposal.

There is no other reason. Zuo Lingfeng was imprisoned before, but it was later found out that it was a lie. The emperor admired this young man very much, so he always felt that he was in debt in that matter. Now that Zuo Lingfeng wants to take over this job, he There is no direct relationship with Prime Minister Gu, so it seems quite suitable?

Zuo Lingfeng took over the errand and added: "I was almost slandered, so I know very well what it feels like to be slandered, and I will never let someone with ulterior motives slander a meritorious veteran. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely Check it out!"

The emperor became more and more satisfied, nodded and said: "Then it's all thanks to you."

In this way, before the second prince could think of a countermeasure, Prime Minister Gu's matter was finalized.

By the time the next court came, the second prince hadn't even realized that what he had been planning for so long would just come to nothing, and he might even be in trouble again!

As soon as Xiao Yan came to the court, he walked towards Zuo Lingfeng and said, "Thank you very much for what happened today."

Zuo Lingfeng smiled: "No, I was quite surprised at the time, but you gave me a wink and I knew what you wanted me to do. You are really...for such a big thing, you don't Say it in advance.”

Xiao Yanlin smiled: "A smart person like you must be able to understand what I am thinking. My father-in-law's affairs must be dealt with by Mr. Lao Zuo."

He said "father-in-law" instead of Prime Minister Gu. He was clearly showing weakness and asking for help.

Zuo Lingfeng waved his hand: "It doesn't count. I was caught in Dali Temple before. Thanks to you for taking care of it in advance. Otherwise, even if I can get away with it in the end, I will still have to suffer a lot."

What Zuo Lingfeng said was not an exaggeration at all. The torture instruments in Dali Temple were all terrifying, but he was basically uninjured. One can imagine how much effort Xiao Yanlin put into protecting him.

Zuo Lingfeng thought for a moment and then said: "Are you sure that Prime Minister Gu is fine?"

Xiao Yanlin raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that if my father-in-law wants to make money, he will be able to see what Liu Zhuzhu has prepared for him? He is so blatant that he only needs to post on the gold that this is evidence of Prime Minister Gu's crime."

Zuo Lingfeng thought the same thing and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I see what Your Majesty means and have no doubts. No one has been arrested. It only gives me time to go to Prime Minister Gu to find out. I learned from Liu Zhuzhu I'll help you catch the person behind this! Just take good care of your sister-in-law at home."

"You knew already?"

Zuo Lingfeng nodded: "I heard from my sister that she originally wanted to go play with her sister-in-law these days, but she was afraid that she would hurt her seriously or seriously, so she didn't dare to go."

"It doesn't matter. Now that the fetus is stable, let her come to the house more often. Your sister-in-law can't go out these days and is telling me she's bored."

"Then the relationship is good, let her come over in the afternoon."

Back at the Hou Mansion, as soon as he entered the main entrance, he saw Gu Baiyu pacing in the yard.

Seeing Xiao Yanlin coming back, Gu Baiyu's eyes lit up: "Master Hou is back? How is it?"

Xiao Yanlin explained in a few words what happened in the court today, and Gu Baiyu felt relieved.

"It seems that His Majesty trusts Dad very much. Moreover, the Second Prince is in a state of confusion right now, so he probably has no time to intervene. Mr. Zuo has a good relationship with us, so he won't let Dad suffer..."

Speaking of this, Gu Baiyu's eyes turned red.

In her previous life, her family suffered due to her repeated forbearance and unclear understanding of others. This tragedy finally did not happen again in this life.

Regardless of the reason for her rebirth, or whether this world is true or false, or just a story written by others, she wants to keep her family.

Fortunately, fortunately, in this life, there is still time...

Xiao Yanlin saw that she seemed to be stuck in some bad memories and gently held her hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. By the way, Miss Zuo said to come see you this afternoon. If you don't want to see outsiders, I'll ask someone to say no." ”

Gu Baiyu seemed to be in a bad mood, he was worried.

Gu Baiyu quickly put away the expression on his face: "Let her do it. It is right to have a good relationship with their brother and sister at this time. Besides, the friendship of the woman in the back house has nothing to do with the previous dynasty, and no one can say anything. ”

Seeing that she had adjusted, Xiao Yanlin agreed, "Okay, let her stay with you in the afternoon."

At the same time, after the second prince returned home, he was so anxious that he almost got angry.

"The matter in the northwest has not yet come to an end. How could there suddenly be trouble over there with the surname Liu?!"

The people under his command were extremely silent, not daring to say anything.

Only Mu touched his gray beard and said, "If the second prince is really helpless now, he might as well ask the second lady of the Gu family."

The second prince frowned: "She is a woman in the back house, what does she know?"

"That's wrong. I once said that the two daughters of the Gu family have very strange fates. They are destined to be entangled for eternity in their lives. Maybe she can find a way."

At this point, the second prince could only act as a doctor: "Let her come here!"
