Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Unfortunately, once the rumor was spread, it must have reached the emperor's ears.

What should I do? King Yin was in a panic.

He was naturally prepared to seize the throne, but he would only take action when the various forces were almost defeated. He always liked to be the mantis stalking the cicada, and now Qin Zhaoyue was in control of the government, and no one in the court could defeat him. He didn't want to be pushed onto the stage like this!

Moreover, the two strongholds are completely different, and King Yin’s assets are all in Huaizhong Prefecture, so it is difficult to mobilize them to Luoyang at once.

All the staff members kept silent, not daring to cause trouble for him at this time.

Suddenly someone came to the door and said, "Your Highness! Someone wants to see you outside the mansion."

King Yin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the letter he received yesterday, saying that Gu Xu would come to visit him.

He calmed himself down, signaled to Qin Xian, and waved his hand again, saying, "You guys go down."

"Yes." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Qin Xian took out the "certificate" prepared by King Yin and placed it on the table.

Soon, Gu Xu entered the house.

He sat down directly below King Yin without saying anything polite. Seeing him like this, King Yin understood a little - this guy was actually a romantic, which was a little unbelievable. If Gu Dashi was still alive, he could have threatened him, which was better than the unstable alliance now.

Thinking of this, King Yin changed the subject of Gu Dashi's conversation and asked, "When does Young Master plan to return to Luoyang?"

Gu Xu glanced at him and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "On my way to the mansion, I heard a lot of praise for His Royal Highness Prince Yin."

King Yin's face twisted for a moment.

"You heard about it too? It's nothing but nonsense." King Yin carefully observed Gu Xu's expression and judged that it was possible that he was the mastermind behind this matter.

"Really? I think that even though it was someone else's plot, it is an opportunity for Your Highness." Gu Xu said, "These rumors are both true and false. With a little embellishment, they can be regarded as the truth."

King Yin was very suspicious: "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, but Your Highness should be careful. The emperor is a very scheming person, and there is no guarantee that he will not take action against you in this matter." Gu Xu sneered: "Back then, because of the groundless accusations, his royal family wanted to summon my parents to the capital for trial."

King Yin said: "Haha, not necessarily."

"Do you know why I am near Huaizhong Prefecture?" Gu Xu said.

King Yin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he wasn't here to chase after Gu Dashi?

"I came here with the Hidden Dragon Guards, under the order of the emperor, to investigate the treason of King Yin Qin Shu." Gu Xu said bluntly.

King Yin's face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

His mind even went blank for a moment. He remembered what he had said to Gu Xu, and then remembered that he had run to Yunxi. His heart began to twitch violently.

Seeing that King Yin’s face was pale and his lips were bloodless, Gu Xu finally smiled.

"You..." King Yin was speechless for a long time, "You are the emperor's..."

"The royal family harmed my parents and tried to cover up their crimes. Do you think I would be so obedient as to go along with them?" Gu Xu said calmly.

King Yin sat down, took a sip of tea, and took two deep breaths.

Scared him to death!

Come to think of it, if Gu Xu was really the emperor's lackey, why would he swagger into his mansion so brazenly? Wouldn't it be better to just report directly?

"What about the Hidden Dragon Guards beside you..." King Yin asked tentatively.

"My people." Gu Xu answered concisely.

King Yin was a little hesitant, but he could no longer sit still, so he immediately pushed a stack of papers on the table over.

"These are the clues I found," said King Yin. "They are all the evidences produced by my people in the palace... Young Master will know it at a glance."

Gu Xu picked up the paper and looked at it.

The above are all confessions and testimonies. He knew exactly which men the emperor had sent to Yunxi and what Qin Zhaoyue had done in the past few days. He even secretly investigated Yunxi's Hidden Dragon Guards and learned about the movements of the masked men in the inn in Huizhou City.

It seems to be true, but it is hard to tell the truth from the false. However, Gu Xu believes that apart from the hint that Gu Dashi's death was caused by the royal family, the rest of the information should be true.

Based on these evidences, we can guess almost exactly what happened on that day.

There was even a secret decree that stated an order to remove Gu Dashi if necessary. The handwriting and the imperial seal were clearly visible. I wonder where King Yin got it from.

King Yin looked at Gu Xu's expression and felt uneasy.

There was no hatred between the two of them. He had never intervened in the matter of Prince Shen, so no one could throw dirty water on him. On the contrary, it was still unknown how many dirty tricks the emperor and the prince had done for the Chao Zhen army. As long as Gu Xu was not an ungrateful person, there was no reason for them to abandon him and help the emperor.

"I understand." Gu Xu said, putting down the case file in his hand.

King Yin forced a smile and said, "Young Master said he came here with the Hidden Dragon Guards, which scared me."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the people of the Hidden Dragon Guard." Gu Xu said, "It's just that the rumor is not easy to deal with. Your Highness's ambition has been exposed to the public."

King Yin said: "I don't know who is behind this. Haha, young master, now we are in the same boat. Oh, by the way, I have asked someone to deal with the rumors in the capital, and it will not affect your reputation."

"Really? Thank you." Gu Xu didn't seem to be interested in this matter: "Since His Royal Highness Prince Yin has given me such a help, I can't just sit there and watch the rumors."

"Oh?" King Yin's eyes lit up.

"The Hidden Dragon Guards have been secretly investigating Huaizhong Prefecture for a year. Has Your Highness noticed?" Gu Xu said.

King Yin's expression changed again: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course. Since Your Highness has the intention, he certainly can't do everything flawlessly. I guess the emperor has already set his sights on you." Gu Xu said, "This rumor may be the emperor's work... just like me."

King Yin seemed to understand something: "You mean, the news about Duke Dunxin in the capital is also..."

"Yeah." Gu Xu said.

King Yin saw that he had a solution, so he asked, "Young Master, do you have a solution?"

"Your Highness's situation is different from mine. You can't fight poison with poison or confuse people with rumors." Gu Xu said, "I'm afraid Your Highness will start a rebellion ahead of time."

"This... I don't want to do this for the time being." King Yin said.

"Of course I'm not going to start a rebellion right away, but Your Highness, you've been brought to the forefront and you can't continue to lie dormant." Gu Xu said calmly.

King Yin remained silent, he naturally understood.

"This time, I can help you." Gu Xu smiled, "Trace the root cause and prescribe the right medicine."

"what do you mean……"

King Yin's eyes widened.

"To deal with a prince, it is naturally necessary for someone who is more powerful than the prince to issue an order in person."

Gu Xu said.

"If this person is unable to consider others, or even speak, then your Highness's problem can naturally be dragged on."

King Yin's pupils dilated and his whole body felt cold, but he was very excited.

"you want……"
