As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 284
Gu Jingyao's heart sank immediately, Qin Yi couldn't find Gu Jingcheng, could it be that he has grown wings?Maybe there is someone behind him to help him?

"General Qin has not confirmed Gu Jingcheng's whereabouts, but what he said in the letter is correct. If he abandons Mo Hanguo, he will most likely come to the capital." Gu Jingyao clenched the envelope in his hand.

Since ascension to the throne, he has started to eliminate Gu Jingcheng's influence in the court, but these people have hidden deep, and until now, they have not been cleaned up. It seems that he has to speed up his actions.

"Send someone to look for Gu Jingcheng's whereabouts in the city. Don't let go of any clues, and don't let Xianbei go. If he really wants to come to the capital city, he must pass through Xianbei. I will write to King Xianbei."

Gu Jingcheng looked at his subordinates and ordered in a low voice.

"Yes!" Monkey nodded.

"Wait!" Gu Jingyao called to stop him, and said coldly, "It's going on in secret, don't leak the news, you go in person."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Monkey continued to nod, and soon disappeared from sight.

Qiu Yeli took a breath, she couldn't sleep or eat well, it was a last resort to abandon the child because of Gu Jingyao, but if she did it all over again, she would still choose to go
"Li'er." Sensing her depression, Gu Jingyao held her in his arms and comforted her carefully.

"I'm fine" At this moment, it's useless to talk too much, Gu Jingyao pursed his lips, summoned all the hidden guards, and dispatched immediately, digging three feet to find Gu Jingcheng and his party.

"Your Majesty, Master Shen Zishan seeks an audience!" The eunuch's voice sounded outside the door.

Gu Jingyao withdrew his expression, and Qiu Yeli also put away his thoughts, "The concubine has returned to the palace first."

Gu Jingyao nodded, and at the same time announced that Shen Zishan had an audience.

Qiu Yeli and Shen Zishan passed by, nodding their heads in a very polite manner.

"Why did Shen Aiqing see me?" Gu Jingyao's tone was slightly cold, and he was really irritated at this troubled time.

Shen Zishan was holding something in his hand, and said respectfully, "Oh, now there are rumors everywhere, and people's hearts are floating!"

"What rumor?" Gu Jingyao frowned.

"This..." Shen Zishan hesitated, and said bravely, "It is rumored that His Majesty did not open the treasury and allocate money. The so-called relief money being robbed by bandits is just a means to cover up."

"Presumptuous!" Gu Jingyao was furious. He had already ordered his father to kill the official who escorted the relief money, food and grass. This person was Ding Chengren's former protégé.

"Your Majesty, Ding Chengren said he was ill and hadn't gone to court for several days, just to avoid this matter." Shen Zishan cupped his hands and said, he has always disliked that old and cunning Ding Chengren, he never thought that he would be so bold and reckless.

Gu Jingyao calmed down, and said calmly, "Ding Chengren is not an upright official. When Gu Jingcheng was in power, he must have looted a lot. If it is for money, there is no need to take such a risk of robbing the relief bank."

"Your Majesty means" Shen Zishan for a while, and soon figured out the relationship, and looked at Gu Jingyao in disbelief.

"Unless, he did this on purpose, in order to let my lordship in the hearts of the people plummet. If I guessed correctly, the spread of rumors is also inseparable from it, and there may be other means."

"Your Majesty's guess is right." Shen Zishan was silent for a while, lowered his eyes and opened his mouth, and handed over the object in his hand.

Lifting his feet, he quickly brought it to Gu Jingyao. There were several turtle shells and blood-stained notes.

Without exception, the handwriting written on it is "The monarch lost his virtue, and there was a drought for three years."

Gu Jingyao frowned fiercely, and heard Shen Zishan say, "These turtle shells were dug out from the ground by the farmers, and these notes were cut out from the belly of the fish. In addition to the previous rumors, the hearts of the people have been messed up."

Gu Jingyao sneered, caressing the rice paper carefully, it turned out to be the white rice paper that was only popular in the capital city this year.

"Your Majesty, such strange things are definitely not credible. I must find a way to make the rumors disappear!" Afraid of the monarch's thunderous wrath, Shen Zishan spoke quickly, observing his expression carefully.

"How can Youyou's mouth be blocked?" Gu Jingyao was very calm, since the person behind him had already exposed his tail, he might as well be patient and cast a long line to catch big fish.

"Your Majesty." The sweat from the corner of Shen Zishan's forehead covered his entire forehead, and he was a little unsure what he meant, should he just let it go and ignore it?If things go on like this, what majesty does the royal family still have? ?
"Disaster relief is the most important thing. Can the newly allocated relief money and food be sent?" Gu Jingyao thought for a while and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, Gouzi personally escorted him, sent back a letter today, and it is almost entering the Huaihe River." Shen Zishan said calmly.

That's right, in order to be safe, Gu Jingyao divided the relief food, money and soldiers into two groups, one was escorted by Ding Chengren's disciples, and the other was secretly escorted by Shen Zishan's eldest son and Tianxiangju's young master Wang Mian, so no one knew about it.

"That's good."

"Your Majesty, when do you plan to do it?" Shen Zishan said in a steady voice. Ding Chengren's retention is always a disaster. Compared with the former Prime Minister Liu, he is even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous.

"Ding Chengren is nothing to be afraid of, what I want is the person behind him." Gu Jingyao narrowed his eyes, his expression was gloomy.

Shen Zishan frowned and looked over, only to see the man speak slowly, "Gu Jingcheng is coming back."

"What?" Shen Zishan was shocked, Gu Jingcheng?How dare he come back?Wait, could it be said that the person behind Ding Chengren is Gu Jingcheng?
Obviously, Gu Jingyao didn't intend to explain to him, but just looked at Shen Zishan and said, "Send someone to watch Ding Chengren's house. Especially to see who he has contacts with."

"Yes, I have been watching outside Ding's mansion according to His Majesty's instructions, but after Ding Chengren claimed to be sick, he never left the mansion, and no suspicious person came in or out."

Shen Zishan frowned and said so.

"Then check the people in the mansion, and don't let anyone go." Gu Jingyao's eyes were slightly red. This time, he will definitely protect everything that belongs to him.

"Yes! The old minister will take his leave first!" Shen Zishan bowed his head and retreated in response.

Gu Jingyao sat on the top seat, rubbed the center of his brows, feeling bored, closed the memorial in front of him, and simply went to the Akiba Pear Palace.

In the imperial garden, Li Xiaozhu was sitting in the gazebo, holding fish food and carelessly feeding the koi in the lake.

"Princess, you have been sitting here for two hours, you should go back." The close maid said worriedly, she didn't know what was wrong with her master, why was she so dazed!
Li Xiaozhu turned a deaf ear, her mind was full of the man's voice and smile, and she couldn't calm down when she was reading. She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she simply came out to blow some air to clear herself up, but she still couldn't get rid of it.

"What a disaster!" Li Xiaozhu stood up abruptly, cursed secretly, took another step outside the gazebo, and threw all the fish food in his hand into the water, causing a group of fish to jump out of the water and fall down again, which is quite a miracle scene.
