Princess and the General

Chapter 146: 04 Yin Shuo's fault (fourth watch)

Views:

There was a bang in Xiangfu's study.

The voice was muffled, as if a punch had been punched on the thick rosewood desk, and the guards outside the door looked at each other.

The eldest son has been in for half an hour, his face was ugly when he went in, he might be very angry now.

They still pretend they didn't hear it, so don't go in to make trouble.

"Kunwu hurts, what a Kunwu hurt..."

Yin Shuo sat in the dark behind the desk, without opening the window, and without lighting a candle.

In the deep twilight, his gentle and jade-like face was slightly distorted.

There is a brocade box on the desk, that day he asked Kun Wushang about the origin of Yufu, Kun Wushang left in a rage, and asked him to find him in the post after thinking about the conditions for repayment.

Within a few days, Yin Shuo sent someone to deliver the letter, and the person who sent the reply also delivered this brocade box to him.

Kun Wushang said that there is a poison that can kill people, even if Yu Fu is there, it may not be able to detoxify, and by the time she figured out a way to detoxify, the person would have died long ago.

But why did Gu Shubai come back safe and sound

The hidden stake planted near Guhou's mansion said that he was unscathed, not even a trace of illness on his face.

What kills people, what kind of poison that Yufu can't cure, Kunwu's injury is clearly a part of him!

But he couldn't figure it out, why

Does Kun Wushang not want Gu Shubai to die...

"Master Xiang, you are back."

The voice of the guard outside the door brought Yin Shuo back to his senses.

Immediately afterwards came Yin Yan's voice, "Is the eldest son in the study?"

"Yes, the eldest son has been here for a while, please."

Yin Yan frowned as soon as he entered the door, the study was dark, not even a single candle was lit, this was not like Yin Shuo's usual style.

After waiting for a while, the figure behind the desk stood up, and Yin Shuo came forward to greet him.

"Father."

The voice was sluggish like never before.

Yin Yan glanced at him sharply, and a servant came in behind him, lit a candle, and then retreated.

"What's going on, you're so out of your mind?"

Yin Shuo leaned down and knelt down, "Father, Kunwu injured my child, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the Xiangfu."

"What?"

Yin Yan flicked his sleeves, sat behind the desk and looked up, "What's going on, please tell me in detail."

Yin Shuo took a deep breath to calm himself down, "The slain men who assassinated Gu Shubai were sent by Haier. I got the poison from Kun Wushang. I thought it would kill me with one blow, but Gu Jiu didn't know Ge took Yufu there so quickly and rescued him."

"Confused, who told you to assassinate Gu Shubai?"

Yin Yan raised the case, "This incident is well known to the government and the public. My father is still thinking about who is so bold, but I didn't expect it to be you? Why did you assassinate Gu Shubai without telling my father?"

"Father has always hated Gu Huaijiang's self-respect and suspected that he was in collusion with Xikun. This time, Gu Shubai only brought forty people to escort the mother and daughter of the Su family back to Jinling. This is a rare opportunity..."

Yin Yan cast a glance at him, "It's not fake for my father to suspect Gu Huaijiang, and it's not fake to hate him. But my father wants to find evidence to make him lose power in the court, instead of killing him secretly! Besides, you don't matter if you attack Gu Huaijiang, kill Gu Huaijiang. Why is Shubai? My father asked you to investigate Yufu's life experience, you don't use your brains on serious matters, but instead use the heart of such a villain, my father is so disappointed in you!"

He only had a son like Yin Shuo, who always valued him highly, and it was the first time that he was reprimanded so severely.

Yin Shuo knew that he had made a mistake and it was irrefutable.

However, his fault was not that he shouldn't kill Gu Shubai, but that he shouldn't believe in Kunwu's injury!

Yin Yan said again: "Do you know how much His Majesty attaches importance to this case? He has ordered Dali Temple to review the case with full authority. Once it is found out that there is something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, my father will not be able to protect you! Besides, how could you be so negligent?" Do you carelessly believe that Kun Wu is injured?"

Yin Shuozheng regretted it, and when he heard the word Kunwushang, he wished he could sleep on his skin and eat his flesh.

"Kun Wushang doesn't like Gu Shubai's engagement with Yufu. He is hostile to Gu Shubai. Besides, Hai'er didn't fully trust him. The more than 100 dead soldiers he sent out were all good fighters. Who would have thought The low-key Gu Huaijiang will send out five hundred cavalry this time!"

On the battlefield, 500 cavalry are nothing, but in a stable country, 500 cavalry can be said to be insignificant.

Gu Huaijiang really cared about the eldest son.

Yin Yan sighed and helped him up from the ground, "Sit down and talk. It's useless to blame you now, it's better to quickly find a way to put this matter aside from your relationship."

Yin Shuo shook his head.

If this matter can be separated from him, he doesn't need to be so upset.

"Father, if Kun Wushang intends to use this to frame the child, I'm afraid he will bring this box of poison to His Majesty himself."

"How dare he? As the prince of Xikun, he wants to curry favor with my Prime Minister's Mansion to deal with Guhou Mansion before it's too late, so how could he turn his back on you to kill you?"

Bouts of cold came from the soles of his feet to his whole body. Yin Shuo had always been conceited and smart, but this time he had to admit that he underestimated the enemy too much.

Perhaps from the very beginning, he thought wrongly, Kun Wushang didn't intend to use him to deal with Gu Houfu at all.

This seemingly cynical and idle prince, his heart is like a cloud of black ink, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
