It is said that I was cannon fodder

Zhichun and Zhidong must be the eyeliners in his palace, but these are the two most important ones. He dealt with them in front of everyone in the afternoon. Before nightfall, the news had already spread.

That night, his mother concubine Zhenfei sent a message and invited him to meet him in his own palace, but he refused because he was tired.

But the next day, he was summoned by the emperor to Southwind, which he couldn't refuse.

When he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the eunuch beside the emperor was waiting at the door, saw him and said: "This old servant has seen Princess Ninghua."

"Excuse me, please trouble Eunuch Li to report to Emperor Father."

"Your Majesty has already told you that the old slave should welcome the princess here, but the prime minister happened to have something to report, so he asked the princess to wait for a while."

Hearing this, Gu Jinyu knew in her heart that it was the emperor who was dissatisfied with what he did yesterday, and thought that he was protesting by beating and killing the servant girl, so he deliberately made him stand outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation as punishment.

Now the sun is shining brightly, and the palace skirt is complicated and heavy, standing outside is like a stove, it is extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Jinyu didn't want to be forced to stand outside. After standing for a few minutes, he put his hand on his forehead, pretended to be dizzy, swayed, and passed out "weakly".

"Your Highness!"

Xiangyang and Zhixia whom he brought over exclaimed and hurried to catch him.

When Eunuch Li saw that he had fainted, he felt anxious and asked the little eunuch next to him, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and pass on the imperial physician!"

Soon, Gu Jinyu noticed that someone hugged him, with a faint fragrance on his body, not the maid by his side, nor what an eunuch should have.

But this light fragrance soon faded away - he was gently placed on the bed, and the emperor next to him was suppressing his anger and reprimanding others.

Gu Jinyu hurriedly "woke up" before the imperial physician arrived, and before the emperor set fire to him, tears fell from his eyes.

At this time, his face was pale, his eyes were reddish, his expression was aggrieved and forbearing, and the rolling tears were like dewdrops on fresh lotus flowers. , it looks very pitiful.

"I beg my father to be the master of Ninghua!"

His posture made the emperor a little soft-hearted, Ninghua has always been proud and flamboyant, where did he show such an expression?Moreover, he also felt somewhat indebted to betroth Ninghua to Wang Qiran of Jing'an.

"Ninghua, tell me carefully, who wronged you? I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Father, I have always been at odds with the newly married Concubine Meng of the Fourth Emperor's Brother. This time, he relied on the favor of the Emperor's Brother to bribe the maids in my palace. I don't know what he is thinking about. After I found out, the Emperor Brother turned to him instead, not only did not punish him, but also let me keep the maid who had a different heart, but I was about to marry, how dare I bring such unfaithful things? I dealt with those two maids in a fit of anger, the queen Brother actually blamed me, he was obviously fascinated by that fox spirit!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, the eldest daughter of Duke Qi's family is both talented and beautiful. It is human nature for your fourth brother to prefer her. Besides, she has married and Your brother, who is from the same mother, has no time to please you, so how could he rush to offend you?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Gu Jinyu said anxiously: "What I said is clearly the truth, even the emperor admits it! But because of such an outsider, the emperor treats me more and more indifferently, and even favors him indiscriminately. Now even the emperor wants to favor him?"

Although his tone was questioning, the expression on his face was extremely aggrieved, and his pale complexion made him appear weak and helpless.

Seeing this, the emperor actually softened his heart, and he was more inclined to Ninghua's rhetoric.

One is because Ninghua itself makes him very worry-free, she is his favorite daughter, and the other is because Ninghua and Gu Mingyu are born of the same mother, the relationship between brother and sister has always been very good, he never thought that Ninghua would deliberately frame his elder brother of this possibility.

On the contrary, he paid more attention to the meaning behind Gu Mingyu's side concubine intervening in Ninghua Palace. Ninghua had just been married to King Jing'an by him, and the side concubine next to Gu Mingyu had placed people beside Ninghua.

It's just that I don't know if the side concubine made this move on her own, or Gu Mingyu personally ordered it.

If it is the former, Ming Yu can ignore his own sister for a woman today, if something happens in the future, will those half-brothers and sisters with his mother still have a way out?

If it's the latter, then his four sons are too impatient, they don't even trust their own sister, but instead want to control the maids around her, could it be that they have different intentions?

No matter what the possibility is, the emperor's impression of Gu Mingyu is unlikely to be good, but there are foreign ministers here, especially since he heard that Chu Yechen was interested in Meng Yun, so he can't follow Ninghua's words, or spread the word , the courtiers will inevitably feel chilled.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Chu Yechen who was standing quietly at the side. The young prime minister noticed his gaze, and naturally expressed a little anxiety: "I remember that there is still one thing to deal with, Your Majesty, Do you see?"

"You go back first."

The emperor was very satisfied with his knowledge and interest, and he appreciated the young prime minister's talent and way of doing things very much.

However, Gu Jinyu found that before Chu Yechen left, he glanced at him with unclear meaning.

When the people left, the emperor obviously relaxed a bit. He patted Ninghua's head and comforted him: "I am not partial to her, but she is the side concubine of your fourth brother, and I cannot punish her for no reason, unless You can produce evidence."

Gu Jinyu's eyes lit up, "There are two maidservants who committed the crime, one is dead, and the other is in the clothing bureau!"

The emperor smiled and ordered people to interrogate the maid.

Zhidong quickly confessed everything, but there was still no clear evidence for her identification. As Zhidong was Gu Jinyu's maid, her testimony was obviously not enough to convince the public.

After the emperor told him the result, he saw him drooping his head in frustration, like a poor kitten who couldn't beg for food.

The emperor sighed, and said: "Although I can't punish her directly, I can beat Ming Yu for you so that he can take good care of his side concubine."

"Brother Huang will definitely not listen, his whole heart is now on the sidelines."

"I have spoken, and he will not dare to disobey."

After the emperor comforted him, he saw that he was still depressed, thinking that Ninghua must have been hurt by his emperor brother, and he was also worried that Ninghua would be wronged in Jing'an Palace in the future, so he said: "I send you two, let them be by your side Take good care of you."

"Thank you, Father." Gu Jinyu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't make any more fuss, although he knew very well that the emperor sent him two hidden guards, partly out of good intentions, partly for surveillance, so that Gu Mingyu would not be deceived from him. King Jing'an's connections.

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with what he had done, and he sent someone to send him back after he had been given a meal. He also rewarded him with many treasures. Because the emperor was there, his journey back to his palace went very smoothly.

After the absence of outsiders, the tenderness on his face also disappeared, and Xiang Yang and Zhi Xia, who were accompanying him, became more respectful when they saw this.

"I want to take a nap, no matter who comes, don't disturb me."

"Yes."

After Gu Jinyu fell asleep, she did block a wave of people, such as Princess Shou'an who was gloating at others' misfortune, and his mother and concubine.

When he woke up, he knew the news that the emperor ordered Gu Mingyu to be confined for half a month. Of course, the reason was not that he had a rift with his sister because of his side concubine, and the royal family couldn't afford to lose face.

His main purpose is not to punish Meng Yun, but to destroy Gu Mingyu. In his opinion, Gu Mingyu, who attacked his own brother, disgusts him far more than Meng Yun. He is not willing to sacrifice himself to let the other party benefit. .

This time he made such a fuss, the emperor was definitely dissatisfied with him.

It's just that the prime minister is a little troublesome. In the plot, he fell in love at first sight because of Meng Yun's kindness in saving his life.

But he can't be sure if this male lead is normal. The male lead he met in the past few worlds is not quite right. He also has a rough guess about it.

I just don't know if that person followed. If he did, he shouldn't be blind enough to fall in love with Meng Yun, right?

Gu Jinyu hesitated for a second, then put the question to the back of his mind, anyway, it's not like he just passed the male second, not to mention it's useless to think too much.

He stayed in his palace peacefully for the time being, and was not in a hurry to cause trouble, but Concubine Zhen obviously didn't think so. His "daughter" went to the emperor to file a complaint, which resulted in his son being punished. No matter how you looked at it, it was a big deal.

Gu Jinyu glanced at the person who was saluting in front of her, and said after a while, "Get up, I don't know what the mother concubine has ordered, but I want to send you here?"

Qingyin heard the alienation and indifference in his tone, her heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile on her face and said: "Your Majesty misses Your Highness a little, and would like to invite His Highness to move to Zhaoyang Palace for a little gathering."

"Now that I'm about to get married, I'm afraid I don't have much free time. Please tell your mother and concubine that you don't have to worry about it all the time."

As a "princess", he naturally has nothing to prepare, and everything will be taken care of by someone, so his words are obviously evasive.

Qingyin was also one of the few people who knew his gender, so no matter how she heard it, she felt that there was something hidden in this statement, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and left honestly.

Before walking away, she vaguely heard a sneer.
