"This bastard..." The king looked at Xiaodouding in front of him, swallowed the account, and said with a heavy eye, "Who told you?"
Outside the imperial study, the eunuch and the palace maid who heard this sentence had already knelt on the ground, and even the chief Ouchi, who was entering with snacks, plopped down and knelt at the door, holding the tray in his hand high above his head, shaking all over. stop.
The little princess is a dedicated child, she didn't notice the movement at the door or outside for the time being.
She said in a milky voice, "Cousin Shangguan Yan told me!"
The monarch's eyes flashed a terrifying dark storm: "She said that I am dead?"
The little princess's head was crooked seriously: "She didn't say it directly, but I'm so smart, of course I can guess it! When I asked her who her father was, she seemed a little sad, and she said she hadn't seen her for more than ten years. She has passed her father! So I think, her father must be dead, otherwise how could he not see her for more than ten years?"
The monarch had an old blood stalk in his chest and almost had a stroke on the spot!
The palace people outside the imperial study turned pale with fright.
You are the first one who cursed the monarch so much throughout the ages.
For a while, you can't keep your little head, don't blame the minions for not begging you.
The monarch covered his heart that was almost heartbroken, and asked the content of the conversation between the two. In the end, it was confirmed that Shangguan Yan did not say anything, nor did he have any hints in this regard, all of which were randomly interpreted by Xiaodouding alone.
If someone else said that, he would have been beheaded hundreds of times.
The monarch suppressed the rolling anger and said in a deep tone: "Tomorrow you go to the Imperial Academy and study with the Grand Master."
"Ah? Why?" The little princess doesn't want to study!
The monarch said solemnly: "You are four years old, it's time to open your eyes." As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice, "At least you have to understand human language!"
The little county master had sharp ears, heard his muttering, and said with a dissatisfied face: "I can understand people's words! I can understand when Uncle Your Majesty speaks! Woohoo-"
Later, she wanted to say that the manager Ouchi who came in covered her mouth in time.
My God, little ancestor, you have already cursed the monarch to death, so stop cursing the monarch that he is not a human being!
The chief insider smiled and said, "The slave brings the little county master back to the room!"
"Woooooo!"
Don't cover my mouth, I have to say it! I have to say more!
The little county master was carried down by the big inner chief.
After the big inner chief settled the little county master, the whole person seemed to have lost a layer of skin. The little county master looked very good, but in fact, it was not an easy child to deal with.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Dequan, the head of the internal affairs department, returned to the imperial study with sweat on his head.
At this time, night has come, and the surrounding sky has faded away, and darkness has gradually enveloped the entire palace.
Although the imperial study was holding the lamp, the night wind blew from time to time, causing the oil lamp to flicker on and off.
The monarch asked in a deep voice, "I checked it out? How did the little princess go there?"
Zhang Dequan replied: "The servant has carefully asked the palace servants around the little county lord, and the little county lord ran away by himself."
The implication was that no one led her there.
The monarch picked up a memorial and said, "Let's do that."
Zhang Dequan understood, and bowed respectfully: "Yes, the servant leads the order."
At night, the dark guard beside the prince who injured the former wife was executed, and more than a hundred Jinyi guards under the prince were taken away overnight, imprisoned in a dungeon, and tortured.
There are three contents of torture. First, is the prince related to the assassination of the abolished princess; second, is the prince related to the destruction of the imperial mausoleum; third, is the prince related to the amnesia of the princess
In the study room of the Prince's Mansion, the prince's face was very cold: "Guzhen didn't expect that she would give Gu such a big blow as soon as she came."
Nangong Li said in agreement: "This is indeed not like the behavior of the abolished concubine."
Abandoned concubine was born too high, all intrigues and tricks are floating clouds in front of absolute strength, she disdains to play tricks with others.
After pondering for a moment, Nangong Li said again: "But people can change, plus she has experienced so many things, she has kept a low profile in the imperial mausoleum for many years, maybe she is not the waste woman we know."
The crown prince snorted coldly: "I haven't seen you for many years, it really makes Gu look up to you."
Nangong Li said: "I think that His Majesty's move is not to abolish the concubine."
The prince sighed helplessly: "Gu understands, the father is just suspicious."
The monarch is suspicious by nature. It is not so much that he is worried that the prince will bully the abolished daughter, but that he is beating the prince so that he will not turn against him.
The prince stood up, paced to the window, looked at the crescent moon in the sky and said, "I am so loyal to the father and emperor, how can I have a rebellion?"
Nangong Li walked up to the prince: "Not only for the prince, but also for all princes and civil and military officials. After all, His Majesty doesn't want a second Xuanyuan family to appear anymore."
Thinking of what happened back then, the prince was silent for a moment.
Nangong Li asked worriedly: "There won't be anything from Zhang Dequan's torture, right?"
The prince smiled coldly: "I really hope he can ask something, Gu is also very puzzled, how did the bridge break, how did the imperial mausoleum get destroyed, and how did the princess lose her memory? Oh, amnesia!"
Hearing this, Nangong Li almost understood that everything that the prince should clean up had already been cleaned up. The Jin Yiwei who was taken away should have nothing to do with the assassination of the princess, so no matter what the torture, there would be no testimony against the prince.
The prince looked at Nangong Li coldly: "Didn't you say that there is no one around her who can be used? Why didn't any of the people sent by her alone come back!"
Nangong hurriedly bowed and bowed, and said, "I have secretly investigated the princess, and there really isn't any powerful expert around the princess over the years. Could it be... some kind of remnant of the Xuanyuan family?"
The prince said: "The Xuanyuan family has been exterminated long ago, where are the remnants?"
The male members of the Xuanyuan family were either killed or executed, and even the infants were not spared. Although the female relatives were assigned to the priesthood, they couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide.
The prince continued: "The remaining evil is just the abolition of the concubine and the eldest grandson of the emperor!"
Speaking of the eldest grandson, the prince's face turned cold again: "Have you found out the whereabouts of that child yet?"
Nangong Li hurriedly said, "My minister has already ordered it, and there should be results soon."
The prince said in a cold voice, "The weeds must be eradicated."
Nangong said sternly, "I obey your orders!"
"Father! Father!"
Suddenly, a small voice came from outside the study.
The prince changed the coldness on his face and gave Nangong a sharp wink. Nangong understood and hid behind the bookshelf.
A toddler stumbled in.
The prince walked over with a smile on his face and hugged his little daughter: "Why is Linger here?"
The youngest daughter said, "I can't sleep, I miss my father."
The prince smiled and said, "Father, will you sleep with you, okay?"
"Okay. I want the father to tell a story."
"Okay, tell me, what story does Linger want to hear?"
The crown prince carried his little daughter out of the study, and all the way was filled with his delightful and pampering laughter.
Nangong Li came out of the study, touched the wound on his right arm, his eyes turned cold, and said, "Xiao Liulang, the father's debt is paid by the son, this time, you can't escape!"
…
Gu Jiao had dinner at Tianxiang Pavilion and was about to go back when suddenly, a sea dungeon flapped its wings and flew to Gu Chengfeng's windowsill.
Gu Jiao was surprised: "Xiao Jiu?"
Xiao Jiu also looked at Gu Jiao in surprise, her wings fluttering in the air.
The only one who wasn't surprised was Gu Chengfeng.
It seems that Xiao Jiu came here not once or twice.
Xiao Jiu's right foot was tied with a red rope with a rolled up note. Gu Jiao looked at Gu Chengfeng, Gu Chengfeng said, "Take it and read it, most of it was written by Xiao Heng."
Gu Jiao learned from Nan Shi Niang that during the few days she was away, Xiao Heng and Gu Chengfeng met her frequently because they frequently went to the rented house to wait for her.
It's just that Gu Jiao didn't expect that these two would secretly pass on the book.
Gu Chengfeng explained: "He has a lot of inconvenience in the inner city. If he can't leave the city one day, he will ask Xiao Jiu to send a letter to ask me if you are back."
Gu Jiao took off the note on Xiao Jiu's right foot.
On the note was Xiao Heng's handwriting. There were not many words. First, he asked Gu Jiao's whereabouts, and then said one thing.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Jiao's cold expression, Gu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to Xiao Heng?"
Gu Jiao handed him the note: "He met Nangong Li."
It was because of the encounter with Nangong Li that Xiao Heng gave up going out of the city, so as not to accidentally bring Nangong Li's people to Gu Jiao's place.
With Nangong Li's method, he will definitely investigate the people of Zhao State who entered Shengdu, especially the two identities of "Gu Jiao" and "Xiao Liulang". Xiao Heng reminded Gu Chengfeng on the note to pay attention to the movement of Tianqiong Academy.
Seeing this name, Gu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly darkened: "It was Nangong Li who injured Gu Yan, right?"
Gu Yan suffered a heart attack and was half-dead, so he had to go to the country of Yan for surgery.
"It's him." Gu Jiao looked in the direction of the inner city through the window, her eyes filled with murderous intent, "The account with Nangong Li should also be settled!"
