After being forced to marry the prince

"Yes." Gu Baiji's voice was hoarse, and he nodded, "At that time, although the minister and His Highness were young, they hit it off right away."

In front of the emperor, he would never say anything about being a woman or admiring women in the palace, unless he really wanted to die.

Gu Baiji continued: "Since that meeting, I have also taken the initiative to look for it, thinking about whether there is a chance to meet the prince again, but I never thought that after a long time, I... have forgotten the prince's voice and appearance."

The emperor believed the words completely, not to mention Gu Baiji's sincerity, the matter of Gu Baiji looking for someone for ten years later, was also consistent with what Chu Wu said to Chu Yue before.

He asked Concubine Li: "So Ah Jiu has been thinking about Gu Baiji for nearly ten years because of this?"

"Yes." Concubine Li nodded, and said calmly, "Before Ayou was adopted by the concubine, he had a very difficult life in the palace. General Gu Huqiu's kindness is not a burden to him. He can take this matter to heart It’s reasonable for such a long time.”

Seeing the development of the situation, Chu Jun knew that most of Chu Wu's motives for rebellion had disappeared, but he lost a concubine and a child, and he was really unwilling to get such a result in the end, so he couldn't help but said: "After talking for a long time, The authenticity of this fox fur has yet to be determined."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Xiao had already stepped forward to personally identify the authenticity of the fox fur.

After a while, Eunuch Xiao asserted:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this fox fur is indeed a gift from the emperor, and it is definitely not an imitation."

When the emperor heard this, the last trace of doubt in his heart dissipated.

Now that the matter has come to an end, most of the emperor's doubts about Chu Wu's assassination have gone.

Back then, the emperor knew best about Chu Wu kneeling in front of the palace to propose marriage. If Chu Wu could really love someone for so many years, and finally married him regardless of all the worldly criticism, it would be really hard for him to let such a temperament People believe that he will have some kind of treasonous heart.

What's more, the emperor thought, although he didn't like this son, at least he doted on him the most on the surface, and during this period of getting along with Chu Wu, he really showed some real soft-heartedness when getting along with Chu Wu. It is difficult for the emperor who is lonely and lonely to have any emotions. If he really wants to let go of this son, the emperor still feels a little bit reluctant.

And looking at Gu Baiji's performance, it is obvious that he has some feelings for Chu Wuzhen. It is also a good choice to tie the two together and finally get a result without children. Otherwise, Gu Baiji will really be let go. To marry a wife and have children, the emperor still has to consider whether to keep him or not. The key point is that Dazhao really can't find a general to replace Gu Baiji.

Thinking about this, the emperor's complexion improved a lot, and he took the initiative to ask Gu Baiji, "Since this is the case, what is the explanation for what Gu Qing said about Ah Jiu being wronged?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li knew that she had achieved the purpose of her trip, so she stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are a little tired, so I will leave first."

The emperor waved his hand, "Go! I will have dinner with you later."

Concubine Li felt disgusted in her heart when she heard the words, but smiled softly and joyfully on her face, and then walked out of the palace door just like when she came here, without looking sideways.

Now that it has been proved that Chu Wu did not have that motive, the next thing is to prove that he has nothing to do with the assassin.

Gu Baiji brought his discoveries in the past few days one by one. When he mentioned the child, Chu Jun's face was already unsightly, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. After Gu Baiji took out a small yellowed sheepskin scroll and presented it On the ground, Chu Jun took a step back with an almost pale face.

"Your Majesty, please take a look, I found this at the assassin's residence." Gu Baiji said, "Since the assassin may be the spy of the enemy country, it should be a message that she did not have time to send."

When communicating with the enemy country carefully, in order to prevent being confused by other people's news, there is also a mark on it. Although it is extremely concealed, Gu Baiji has fought with the country several times and intercepted their intelligence. Found it, and there are also experts in this field in the court, the emperor will know when he recruits people.

Besides, regarding the matter of Chu Wuxing's assassination, there have been many discussions in the court, the emperor has not expressed his position, and no one is willing to be such an early bird.

Although these people are not very clear as officials, they are all top-notch people. Seeing that Gu Baiji has not been out of the palace for a long time, sensitive people have already guessed that the situation of King Ke has roughly changed again, and also saw that the Minister of Honglu Temple was recruited Go, and you will know that the emperor no longer intends to hide the matter of the prince's rebellion involving Jiangshan Sheji.

The Minister of Honglu Temple was recruited suddenly, and he didn't know why, and then he suddenly received a parchment, without any cause and effect, so he had to look at it seriously in a daze.

But after a while, the Minister of Honglu Temple confirmed: "Return to Your Majesty, this imprint is indeed the evidence of the internal communication of Ning Zhiguo, and there will be no fakes."

When the emperor heard the words, he asked just now, "What is written on it?"

The words on the small sheepskin scroll are also written in other languages, and Honglu Siqing naturally understands them, and translated after hearing the words:

"Ying with Zhao Nei, his status is quite noble, and his mother's family is also prominent, which is quite beneficial to the future of our country."

After Honglusi finished reading, the sweat was already falling, and there is still nothing to understand. For fear of causing trouble to the upper body, he hurriedly took a step back and knelt on the ground, holding the small sheepskin scroll with both hands and handing it to Eunuch Xiao, then bowed his head deeply. , dare not speak again.

The hall was very quiet, and after a while, the emperor sighed: "Ah Jiu is indeed wronged, I blamed him wrongly."

As the Ninth Prince of Dazhao, Chu Wu's status is naturally unspeakable. However, his mother's background is not considered good, and she died young. She is Concubine Li. Not very prominent.

The emperor glanced at Chu Jun as if casually, and then ordered: "Go and bring Ah Jiu."

When Chu Jun heard this, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground in shock.

The emperor frowned and said, "What do you mean? Don't you know who this distinguished person is?"

Chu Jun shook his head hurriedly when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Father, there are many prominent people, and there are not many prominent people from the mother's clan. The sons really don't have a clue."

The emperor wondered: "Then why are you kneeling down?"

Gu Baiji didn't speak, his eyes kept looking in the direction of the palace gate, and when he heard the emperor's words, his eyes were full of hatred. The emperor didn't know, but he knew exactly what Chu Jun was flustered about.

Sure enough, I only heard Chu Jun say: "My son thinks that the safety of the father is more important than the sky. It is an extraordinary trivial matter. I was annoyed at the boldness of the ninth younger brother and hated him for being cold-blooded and ruthless. Impulsively... used some words on the ninth younger brother." means."

Gu Baiji's hands under his sleeves clenched into fists. If it wasn't for the last sliver of rationality, he wished he could immediately step forward and smash Chu Jun's body into thousands of pieces.

The emperor frowned when he heard the words, looking at Chu Jun with scrutiny and anger, and was about to say something when he heard a slight noise outside the door.

Chu Wu was brought in with the help of two palace slaves. He met Gu Baiji the day before, a fashionable and lively person. At this time, his clothes were torn, bloodstained, and his complexion was pale without a trace of blood.

"Aye!"

Gu Baiji's mind was lost, and he even staggered when he rushed over.

"Ayou!" Gu Baiji's voice was choked up, he carefully carried him into his arms and fell to the ground, with one hand around Chu Wu's wound a few times but he couldn't find a place to strike, "Ayou, How are you? Does it hurt, huh?"

"General!" Chu Wu felt drowsy, feeling Gu Baiji's breath, as if he had returned to a place of peace of mind, his face was extremely calm, and he even smiled slightly at Gu Baiji, "Don't be afraid !" Chu Wu said, "I'm fine."

How could Gu Baiji not be afraid, he was so afraid that his whole body was shaking, wishing to move all those wounded ones onto himself.
