Ning Chengyuan thought about it for a while and then nodded.
In the main cabinet, Cheng Bai deliberately asked King Cheng to stop for a while and asked King Cheng about his views on the final verdict. He was mainly worried that if the execution was not done well enough and the facts were confirmed, Dongling would be waiting for the opportunity. It's not good to cause trouble.
After all, no one wants to cause a war for no reason, which is not good for both countries.
Gu Chengxuan was still sitting in his seat, holding a few stacks of case files in his hand and flipping through them for a while. While reading, he said calmly: "It doesn't matter, just do whatever you have to do. Dongling provoked Beiguo first, he dared to use this Starting from the beginning, I will wait and see whether the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom agree or not."
Cheng Bai nodded.
Since Gu Chengxuan had given him such a definite answer, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
But... Cheng Bai looked at Gu Chengxuan, who was sitting in his seat and looking through the case files lazily. He was a little puzzled. He had finished what he should say, why didn't King Cheng leave...
But if Gu Chengxuan doesn't leave on his own, there is no way Cheng Bai will seek death and drive him away.
He was just quite confused. The contents of the case file were the only thing he had been flipping over. If Gu Chengxuan was really interested, he could take it home and read it slowly. Why was he stuck here
Of course, when it comes to private matters, it is not that Cheng Bai has not heard of the rumors in the market a few days ago. As a man, it is difficult for him to ask the little sister of the Pei family about such matters. As the minister of Dali Temple, he is even less likely to be ambitious. Leopard had the guts to ask King Cheng, so after much deliberation he had no choice but to ask Pei Chi.
But Pei Chi was lucky. After hearing his question, he felt as if he had eaten explosives and shouted at him three times -
"Nothing!"
"How dare you slander Yu'er, bitch!"
"Even if you have instigated Yu'er before! Yu'er can't be with that bastard!"
Cheng Bai had no choice but to give up and give up asking Pei Chi.
But then the matter fell silent and no one mentioned it again.
However, he learned from Mr. Pei that Pei Yu had nothing to do with Gu Chengxuan now. That sounded... quite decisive.
Cheng Bai then thought that Gu Chengxuan might be a little sad because of this matter. After all... Not to mention whether Gu Chengxuan was tempted or not, Gu Chengxuan was a prince after all, and Mr. Pei's attitude towards this matter was so tough. He had been so angry before. It was quite normal for Gu Chengxuan to be affected by the turmoil when it came to the court.
But now he saw that Gu Chengxuan still had the same calm expression as before, not feeling any discomfort at all, and he didn't seem to take Pei Yu's matter to heart.
Cheng Bai thought again, after all, Gu Chengxuan was older than him and had experienced many more things. It was normal not to be affected by this.
At this time, Zhao Yi's report came from outside the main pavilion. Cheng Bai saw that Gu Chengxuan was still flipping through the case files without saying anything, so he responded and let Zhao Yi in.
Zhao Yi entered the hall, bowed his head slightly and saluted Gu Chengxuan, then walked up to Cheng Bai and whispered that the little sister of the Pei family came over angrily and wanted to see him for something.
When Cheng Bai heard this, his expression paused, and he subconsciously looked at Gu Chengxuan. He saw that Gu Chengxuan was still looking at the document with his eyes lowered indifferently, and did not hear what Zhao Yi said.
Although Cheng Bai didn't know exactly what was going on between Pei Yu and Gu Chengxuan, he still knew that the relationship between the two was awkward now. If he just let Pei Yu break in, it would only make the situation more embarrassing.
