famous eldest daughter

Chapter 401 Confrontation
As Lu Jiuzheng really appeared in front of him, Xiao Duo forcibly restrained his dilated pupils, suppressed the fear in his heart, and calmed himself down, but the appearance of Lu Jiuzheng made him feel uneasy. If you restrain yourself, you can completely restrain yourself.

The corners of his eyes were shaking uncontrollably, and his drooping hands were cold to the bone, trembling uncontrollably.

After taking several deep breaths, Xiao Duo finally managed to maintain his apparent calmness.

After saluting, Xiao Yi said: "Father, this morning I went to Dafang Temple to do some business. I happened to meet Lu Jiuzheng who was hiding in Dafang Temple, so I brought him back."

Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Duo for a moment.

The moment Xiao Yi said the words "Dafang Temple", the little blood that had finally returned to Xiao Duo's face quickly disappeared. His entire face was pale to the point of glowing blue, his throat slid, and the trembling at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious. .

She snorted coldly in her heart, and Gu Yuqing's butterfly-wing-like eyelashes trembled slightly. Was she scared now?You really made me overestimate you!
There was doubt in the emperor's eyes, "What are you doing at Dafang Temple?"

Xiao Yi was calm and replied slowly: "In recent months, cases of missing children have often occurred in the capital. Jing Zhaoyin was very busy and had no clue. He begged me, hoping that he could Give him a helping hand.”

"It involves people's livelihood, and it is a matter under the imperial city. I have long been worried about it. It's just because this matter is not within the scope of my authority and I don't want to overstep my authority without authorization, so I have been willing and unable to use it. After accepting Jing Zhaoyin's words, I immediately sent someone to inquire and search privately."

"Yesterday, I got news that someone saw the lost child near Dafang Temple. My son took people to search Dafang Temple overnight, but just after entering the gate of Dafang Temple, my son saw him."

"Because Lu Jiuzheng kidnapped Miss Gu from Chinanhou's Mansion. This matter is so important that my ministers did not dare to delay any longer, so they immediately tied Lu Jiuzheng back to the mansion. We only need to wait for the dawn to be over today, and bring him here to be taken over by the royal father." interrogation.”

After saying that, Xiao Yi looked at Gu Yuqing belatedly and said, "I didn't expect Miss Gu to be here."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the emperor snorted with anger, leaned back slightly on the chair, with his entire upper body almost resting on the right armrest, and flicked a string of green jade beads in his hand. It hit the desk hard, making a crisp sound. It scared Lu Jiuzheng's legs to shake, and he knelt down, slumped on the ground, his face was ashen and lifeless.

The emperor glared at Lu Jiuzheng angrily and said, "Your life is really big!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me why you kidnapped Gu Yuqing!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiuzheng's mouth was trembling. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly twitched, and he couldn't utter a word. The extreme panic in his heart made him feel like he was about to burst into pieces. How could it be him? Can withstand it.

After finally taking a few breaths, Lu Jiuzheng squeezed out a little strength in front of him and said, "I kidnapped Gu Yuqing in order to force out the whereabouts of a batch of gold from her."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, the waves in his eyes moved slightly, but Xiao Yu suddenly raised his voice and looked at Gu Yuqing for a moment, his eyes full of concern.

"Gold?" The emperor glanced at Gu Yuqing with a pair of sinister eyes. His scrutinizing gaze paused for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Jiuzheng again, "What gold!"

Lu Jiuzheng trembled and said: "Chen...Chen...there was a batch of gold in the ancestral house of the minister, which was confiscated that day. According to His Highness the Second Prince, the large amount of gold fell into Gu Yuqing's hands. …”

From the beginning to the end, Lu Jiuzheng did not dare to raise his head. He only lowered his head and sat there half dead, muttering with an aura of fear.

As soon as Lu Jiuzheng finished speaking, Xiao Yu, who had been looking at Gu Yuqing, said, "Why can't I understand what you are saying? The gold, silver, pearls and jade you hid in the secret room of the ancestral home were not taken away by the second emperor personally that day. Seize it? I remember that a book was made at that time, so why did another batch of gold appear out of thin air? "

Lu Jiuzheng said tremblingly: "The second prince said that Gu Yuqing threatened him with that batch of gold, and he had no choice but to let her secretly take it away before he seized it."

Hearing this, Gu Yuqing let out a sneer, as cold as frost, with contempt and ridicule, "Master Lu really thinks highly of me. How could I know there was something in your secret room, and then I threatened two people?" Your Highness, I have stolen your gold. Not to mention, what can I threaten the Second Prince with?"

When Lu Jiuzheng heard Gu Yuqing's voice, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He shuddered and raised his head suddenly, with deep hatred in his eyes. In the wooden house, he was beaten wildly by two men in black. The black bruise on Shi's face has not dissipated, and it is particularly shocking to see.

"I don't know what you are threatening the Second Prince with, but my gold must be in your hands. Even though the gold no longer belongs to me, you should not keep it stolen at that time." You were frightened just now. He was so frightened that he didn't even have the strength to breathe, but at this moment he was looking ferocious and terrifying, almost waving his fists and looking directly at Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing looked back coldly, "It's up to you to decide whether it's in my place or not. The person who personally supervised the case that day was the second prince. It's better for him to say the right and wrong."

How could Gu Yuqing fail to see that at this time Lu Jiuzheng was biting the gold and was nothing more than Xiao Yi's instigation, wanting to accuse Xiao Duo of more crimes and at the same time put himself in a dangerous situation.

But what was the purpose of his plan, Gu Yuqing couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Did he want to take the opportunity to suppress the Chinan Hou Mansion?Gu Yuqing shook his head inwardly... With Xiao Yi's methods, he would not be stupid enough to suppress the Chinan Hou Mansion at this time.

If not, that was the reason for the opposition, and he wanted to use it to win over him.

Let Lu Jiuzheng prove his crime first, and then use some means to plead for mercy in front of the emperor... This possibility is very high.

That batch of gold was hidden by Gu Yuqing for emergency relief on the battlefield. She would never return it to the treasury no matter what.

"Since Mr. Lu keeps saying that I threatened His Highness the Second Prince and asked him to agree to transport the so-called gold away, I want to ask His Highness the Second Prince, what did I threaten you with?" His eyes fell. The moment he looked at Xiao Duo, he was sharp and aggressive, with an unyielding aura.

Xiao Duo suddenly... Gu Yuqing threatened Gu Yuhe in the first place, how could he say it out loud.

Once that incident is revealed, his image in the heart of his father will plummet even further.

Now, he could only insist that he was blinded by Lu Jiuzheng and made a big mistake. As for the batch of gold... He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.
