III Jiangshan

The emperor and An Guogong left together, and everyone respectfully escorted them all the way to the door.

Originally, the emperor was supposed to board the imperial chariot, and Duke An was supposed to board his own carriage. Unexpectedly, the emperor gave way to Duke An——

"My imperial chariot is spacious, and they are all on the same road, so Gu Qing will ride with me!"

All the ministers stared at him with wide eyes and listened with their ears strained.An Guogong's son had just been transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to assist Guo Yi in presiding over the women's department. Although he was a deputy, at Gu Zhongwen's age, this was already an exceptional appointment.The emperor attached so much importance to the Gu family, and the Gu family wanted to cater to the holy will, so why not get promoted?

Everyone thought about Gu's family, and then thought about their own family, and felt that there was a lot to learn from.

At this time, Gu Shuyan had finished courteously with Yuan Youqi, and confessed again, Fang followed Yuan Youqi to board the imperial chariot.

Guards from the imperial forest army, the emperor's guard of honor opened the way, and the group headed for Gu's mansion in a mighty way.

The imperial chariot was rolling, and the people inside could hardly feel the vibration of the wheels.

Neither Yuan Youqi nor Gu Shuyan, the monarch and his ministers, cared about how the car drove, that was not something they needed to care about.

They exchanged routine greetings with each other at first, leaving only Yuan Youqi expressing condolences to Gu Shuyan's health, caring about Gu Zhongwen's fatigue and difficulty in doing errands, and saying things like "If you have any difficulties, just tell me frankly"; and Gu Shuyan Well, I greeted the Empress Dowager's body, and cared about the Emperor's body, especially when I saw the bandage wrapped around Yuan Youqi's right hand, I added a sentence: "Your Majesty has worked hard for the affairs of the state, so you must take good care of the dragon's body." Good" and so on.

The injury on Yuan Youqi's right hand was the result of punching the vanity mirror in Mochi's bedroom a few days ago in a hurry.The crystal mirror made by Persian craftsmanship was more powerful than the bronze mirror when it was smashed. The broken mirror body directly pierced her right hand into a bloody mess. Tang Xi, who heard the sound and ran in, was so scared that she almost cried.

When he was injured, Yuan Youqi didn't feel the pain, because the pain in his heart was more tormenting.Now, after applying the best imperial wound medicine, the wound quickly grew new flesh, and the painful and itchy feeling began to torment her, often making her wish to tear off the bandage and scratch it to her heart's content .

This itchy feeling reminded her all the time of what Mochi did to her that night.

Yuan Youqi didn't regret giving herself to Mochi, she was annoyed that she was as stupid as a donkey, and only realized after being tossed about by Mochi.

Right now, if she still doesn't know where the ink pond is, she has been obsessed with the ink pond for 20 years.

Clenching his right hand that started to itch again, Yuan Youqi looked at Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan's heart was tightened by her meaningful gaze.These amber pupils were carved out of the same mold as my sister's.After all, it's the Gu family's nephew!

Thinking of this, Gu Shuyan felt mixed feelings in his heart, and once again worried about Yuan Youqi's country.

So he straightened his body even more, and respectfully said to Yuan Youqi: "I have a question, I don't know if I should say it."

"Qing wants to ask about the affairs of Prince Su's residence?" Yuan Youqi looked at him clearly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Gu Shuyan exclaimed.

"It's okay to ask, sir, I know that I will say anything." Yuan Youqi said.

Gu Shuyan was a little relieved, and then asked: "Did Su Wang, the old thousand-year-old, write down the memorial to invite the crown prince before his death?"

Yuan Youqi squinted at him, and said calmly: "Naturally. Qing also saw it before. Uncle Su Wang was in a hurry and had no time to prepare a memorial, so he wrote a letter to me."

It's true!

Gu Shuyan's heart was surging, and he couldn't help saying: "Is the person who begs for the old thousand years really Yuan Li?"

Yuan Youqi raised his eyebrows: "Of course! I didn't cheat!"

Gu Shuyan chuckled, and hurriedly said: "I'm not saying that your majesty is lying, but I just don't know, please give me some advice."

Yuan Youqi pursed his lips, and said: "I know, everyone is wondering, Uncle Su has always disliked the emperor's brother, why would he ask him to be crowned son? If he asks for the crown, don't we have to wait until his deathbed?" Please seal it? What have you been doing for the past few decades?"

Gu Shuyan nodded slowly, which was also his doubt.

Yuan Youqi suddenly raised his lips and smiled at him: "You have doubts in your heart, but you were able to solve my worries in time at that time, I am very pleased."

This is to praise him when Yuan Junshu held that hot potato to everyone, no one dared to step forward, and he did the first thing.Gu Shuyan hurriedly said he didn't dare.

The emperor was his sister's only flesh and blood, and he was entrusted by that person. Even if he made a mistake for a while, he would accompany the emperor to make mistakes.

Only to hear Yuan Youqi explaining the confusion again: "Qing also knows, um, all the officials of the clan know that Uncle Su loves Yuan Pu, and has always wanted to establish Yuan Pu, but because of his reputation, he can't do it."

As she spoke, the topic changed: "You know, why did Uncle Su suddenly change his mind on his deathbed? Made such an important decision?"

"Please inform Your Majesty!" Gu Shuyan knew that the key was coming.

"Because Yuan Pu killed Yuan Li." Yuan Youqi said.

There was a boom in Gu Shuyan's mind, and his first reaction was: If Yuan Pu killed Yuan Li, why didn't His Majesty bring the murderer to justice?

Yuan Youqi looked at him quietly, already taking his psychological activities into his eyes, and continued: "When I first found out about this, I also wanted to avenge brother Li Huang."

"But," she seemed helpless, "there are some things that I can't..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan said solemnly: "If Your Majesty has any difficulties, I will leave this matter to my minister—"

"No!" Yuan Youqi cut off his words, and said again, "I, including you, can do nothing about this matter."

She said, looked deeply at Gu Shuyan, and said: "Uncle Su knows that Yuan Pu killed Yuan Li, but he forbids anyone to avenge Yuan Li."

Gu Shuyan frowned.

Yuan Youqi also felt desolate, his eyes were condensed slightly, and he fell into the memory: "Brother Li accidentally discovered the secret of Yuan Pu's evil intentions, so he dared not deal with it. He quietly handed over the evidence to Yuan Junshu and others. In anticipation of the unexpected, I was thinking about how to save King Su's mansion in the future."

"However, his words and deeds were also discovered by Yuan Pu. Yuan Pu encouraged Yuan Zhuo with words, which made Yuan Zhuo entangled in manpower and secretly killed Yuan Li, but ignored the evidence in Yuan Junshu's hands. After Yuan Junshu found out that his father was killed , immediately realized the urgency of the situation, and she didn't care about Uncle Su's serious illness, so she told Uncle Su about the whole matter..."

As Yuan Youqi said, he let out a long breath of turbid air in his chest, and leaned back on the back of the chair very tiredly.

Gu Shuyan felt startled when he heard what she said.What could make Yuan Pu not hesitate to plot to kill his brother?It must be inseparable from seeking to usurp the throne and treason!

Yuan Chun's face flashed across his mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Then how will old Qiantui deal with it?"

If such a major event is not handled properly, even if King Su is the emperor's uncle, he will not be able to escape the result of being robbed.

Yuan Youqi sighed softly, and said: "Uncle Su Wang is loyal all his life, and he will not put his descendants and the entire Su Wang Mansion in danger. He immediately ordered Yuan Junshu to bring the evidence to the palace to see me, and dragged his sick body to write a letter. The letter requesting Yuanli to be crowned son. After reading the evidence in Yuan Junshu’s hand, I understand that the Su Palace does not have the intention of usurping, and then submit the letter requesting seal to me.”

The more Gu Shuyan listened, the more frightened he became, and he said in a deep voice, "When old Qiantui wrote that letter of invitation, Yuanli had already..."

"Brother Li Huang had already passed away at that time." Yuan Youqi said.

Gu Shuyan inhaled.

Yuan Li was dead at that time, King Su also wrote that invitation letter, what he meant was——

"Qing's guess is right," Yuan Youqi saw through Gu Shuyan's mind, and said, "Uncle Su is begging me to spare the lives of Yuan Pu and Yuan Zhuo for the sake of handing over the title of King Su." !"

"Forgive me? Did Yuan Li die in vain!" Gu Shuyan sarcastically said.

"That's why I said it just now, and I have no choice but to do this." Yuan Youqi said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty really let Yuan Pu and Yuan Zhuo go like this?" Gu Shuyan couldn't help asking.

Yuan Youqi looked at him meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "Even if I spared them, God will watch!"

God?Gu Shuyan's eyebrows twitched.

God may not have eyes to punish Yuan Pu and Yuan Zhuo, but Yuan Junshu, who received the imperial edict from Feng Shizi, would almost do this.

After all, even if it is a real uncle, the hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable.

Gu Shuyan suddenly caught something——

Your Majesty wants to borrow Yuan Junshu's knife to get rid of Yuan Pu and Yuan Zhuo!

No!Not only borrowing Yuan Junshu's sword, but His Majesty planned more.

Perhaps, His Majesty still wants to try how sharp Yuan Junshu's knife is!

Thinking about the current situation in Su Wang's mansion, before His Majesty left, he left such an alternative situation. His Majesty only issued an imperial decree, only bestowing Yuan Li with the title of Prince of the Dead, not the real title of Prince.Then, the future of King Su's Mansion or Yuan Junshu's future depends on how Yuan Junshu handles the situation left by His Majesty.

With proper handling and in line with the holy will, Yuan Junshu will have a bright future.What if it is not handled properly?

Gu Shuyan believed that even in that case, the emperor must have a countermeasure to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

After all, Yuan Pu is most likely guilty of treason, and His Majesty must have enough evidence in his hands.

As for whether Yuan Junshu will handle this situation properly, Gu Shuyan believes that he is [-]% sure that he will.

He still remembered the words and deeds of Yuan Junshu and the emperor in the mourning hall of King Su's mansion just now.Others may not be able to see it, but Gu Shuyan can see that it is not an ordinary 20-year-old noble daughter of the clan who can bear the performance.

She has a tacit understanding with the emperor, which shows that she has a good grasp of the emperor's mind.She is neither humble nor overbearing in front of the officials, which shows that she is not afraid or panic in the face of things.Facing the enemy who killed her father every day, she can still do what she should do in a calm and orderly manner, which shows the depth of her city.

How could such a person disappoint the emperor?

Thinking of this, Gu Shuyan felt a sudden trance in his heart——

Since when did the emperor's scheming schemes become so difficult to detect?

This method has the charm of the man in the mansion!

The author has something to say: Xiao Gu: Your shameless look is very similar to when I was young.

Xiao Yuan: ...
