After being forced to marry the prince

They arrived at a place suspected to be the assassin's residence, but they were already a step late when they went. Someone in the yard had obviously searched ahead of time, and nothing suspicious was left behind.

When they left, they found a handful of freshly dug soil behind the house. Confused, they knelt down and dug it up.

The few people were used to all kinds of world situations, but they were still shocked when they saw the situation in the pit.

The corpse of a nearly two-year-old boy was poisoned, his complexion was pale, and his body was covered in bruises.It was still warm when it was dug out of the soil.

The child's face has grown, and his appearance is very familiar.

Even though Chen Siyuan was always calm, she couldn't help turning pale when she saw this.

"Chu Jun is not as good as a pig or a dog." Ze An Yu scolded, "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, but this man is good. One moment his wife died for him, and the next moment he sent his mother and child to reunite neatly. "

"What should we do now?" Chen Qidao, "This child looks somewhat similar to Chu Jun, should he be sent directly to the emperor as evidence?"

"It's useless." Gu Baiji's face was also a little unsightly, "It's just that they look a little similar, and there is no evidence for it."

Presumably, Chu Jun was so sure of this, that's why he hastily buried the body here, and did not set fire to it.

"Then..." Chen Siyuan said, "Should we put him back?"

Gu Baiji nodded, now there is no guarantee that there will be no eyeliner of Chu Jun around, so it is not appropriate to make too much movement, but after all, the child is innocent, Gu Baiji asked someone to find a mat, wrapped the body up, and then re-buried it.

Before leaving, several people went back to the yard to search again, but this time they found something.

In a room where some children's toys were kept, there was a small wooden horse, and inside the wooden horse they found some letters.

On the way back, Gu Baiji thought of this series of actions, and felt a little restless.

Seeing his solemn expression, Chen Siyao asked, "General, what's wrong?"

"Chu Jun's series of movements are too sudden." Gu Baiji said.

Ze An Yu heard the words and said: "He probably noticed something and was in a hurry."

Gu Baiji nodded, and said the most worrying thing in his heart, "If this is the case, he may jump the wall in a hurry, which is not good for Ah You."

What Gu Baiji thought was right, when he went back to the mansion to change his clothes and was about to enter the palace immediately, there was news from the prison, saying that Chu Jun had gone to the cell, and he was tortured because he failed to interrogate the prince.

When Gu Baiji heard this, he was in a hurry and wanted to lead someone into the prison on the spot.

He shouldn't have spent all this time looking for evidence, Gu Baiji thought a little angrily, it's just a prison robbery, and in the end, at most, it's just a rebellion.

This Laoshizi Jiangshan is almost finished anyway, and there are only a few people he wants to protect. If these people are a little more peaceful, that's all.

Just when the hostility on Gu Baiji's face almost made Ze An Yu's blood boil, a young eunuch from the palace stopped him outside the gate of the General's Mansion.

Gu Baiji quickly recognized that the other party was someone from Concubine Li's palace, and his murderous pace slowed down.

"General." The little eunuch was obviously taken aback, and said cautiously, "Miss Li Concubine has a life, please be safe and calm, General."

Gu Baiji frowned, he couldn't wait.

According to Chu Jun's own son's temper, he really doesn't know what else he will do to Chu Wu.

But this is Concubine Li's person, Gu Baiji believes that if there is anyone in that indifferent palace who has the slightest sincerity towards Chu Wu, there will be no one else except this empress.

He pressed down his eagerness and asked the little eunuch: "Does your empress have any other orders?"

"Yes." The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty told General Gu to enter the palace immediately to face the saint."

If you don't rob the prison, this is indeed Gu Baiji's initial idea, but now that Chu Wu is alive or dead, Gu Baiji really has no plan to find the emperor to save people and waste time first.

Seeing his hesitation, the little eunuch was also a little anxious, "The empress said, please take care of the general and don't be impatient. The matter has not reached the point of desperation. The empress will wait in the palace to go to the saint with the general."

After hearing the words, Gu Baiji still heaved a long sigh.Concubine Li is Chu Wu's concern, even if he robs the prison, it is impossible for him to rush into the palace to snatch Concubine Li out immediately, if Concubine Li is implicated because of this, Chu Wujia will not feel well.

Gu Baiji thought about all kinds of reasons, and then he suppressed the hostility in his heart, held back all the worries, and went to the palace to ask for an audience.

"Swoosh", the bone-chilling water poured down from his head, Chu Wu's drowsy consciousness was stimulated by the cold water, and he regained consciousness.

His hands and feet were tied to the torture rack, and the clothes on his body were cracked by the whip, and the blood soaked the cloth, smudged scarlet.

Chu Jun looked at him gloomyly, "Chu Wu, I can't tell, you usually look weak and easy to bully, but you have a tough body."

Chu Wu reluctantly raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head weakly.

"Don't you say yes?" Chu Jun took the long whip from the bodyguard, and raised his chin with the whip handle, "Chu Wu, believe it or not, I can hurt you to death?"

Chu Wu raised his eyes to look at him, and said mockingly, "Your Highness, what should I say?"

Chu Jun's face was full of hostility, and his eyes were red, as if the person being tortured was not Chu Wu but him.

"Just say..." Chu Jun raised his hand fiercely to grab Chu Wu's neck, and said fiercely, "Tell me how you murdered your father, tell me about your ambition, and tell me what is your purpose in marrying Gu Baiji!"

"Except for the last one..." The injuries on his body were too serious, and Chu Wu was a little weak to speak, but his eyes were still calm, and his face was as indifferent as before. "Others, why should I admit what you did?"

"Chu Wu, you asked for it!" Chu Jun gritted his teeth and took a step back, raised his hand violently and slammed the whip on Chu Wu.

Chu Wu let out a muffled snort, his clothes were torn again, blood was smudged very quickly.

"It hurts, doesn't it?" Chu Jun looked at him nervously, "I've given up so much, you admit it, I'll give you a whole body, and let you have a good funeral, it's no better than you being a joke Is it better to hide in the general's mansion?"

Chu Wu looked at him like a lunatic, glanced at him, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Chu Jun was in a hurry and was about to do it again. A guard from outside the execution room ran in and whispered something in Chu Jun's ear.

Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he ordered to the left and right: "Watch him!" Then he threw the whip, turned and left in a hurry.

Gu Baiji's face-to-face meeting went well this time. The emperor didn't know if it was because he didn't have the few cups of tea that Chu Wu made with his own hands every day, and his sleep was not comforting.

The emperor originally thought that Gu Baiji was just begging for mercy or defending Chu Wu, so he felt somewhat impatient.

Who knew that Gu Baiji immediately knelt down when he entered the room, and said:

"Boldly, I implore Your Majesty to take back the will to reconcile the minister and His Highness King Ke."

The emperor was startled, and looked at him meaningfully: "Does Gu Qing know what he is talking about?"

Gu Baiji said: "I know."

The emperor suddenly said angrily: "Gu Baiji, what Ah Jiu is committing now is treason. With your request, don't you fear that your general's residence will also be charged with treason?"

Gu Baiji said: "Your Majesty's grace and decree, I and King Ke have worshiped the heaven and the earth, and life and death should be together in the same place."

Hearing the words, the emperor thought that he meant that it was because he bestowed the marriage, so his tone became a little better, "You go back now, I don't think I have heard what you said today."

Gu Baiji shook his head, "Your Majesty knows clearly, I have His Royal Highness King Ke in my heart, and now he has suffered unfair injustice, how can I be good for myself?"

Seeing that he didn't know what to do, the emperor was a little annoyed, "Are you willing to let me go to prison to accompany him?"

Gu Baiji's face was full of seriousness, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am willing."
