famous eldest daughter

Chapter 708 Questioning
He knew Gu Zhen's secret, but the word "Juan" had no chance of appearing in such a secret letter of collaboration with the enemy. Naturally, none of the secret letters he forged had this word.

Just now he hurriedly glanced at the words on the yellowed letter, knowing that there was something fishy about the letter, but all his attention was only on the content and handwriting of the words, but he ignored whether the words were written according to Gu Zhen's habit.

If he had known this, just now, he would rather fight to the death than take back the paper ball that he picked up first from the hands of the commander of the imperial army, throw it into the brazier, and burn it clean!

However, what is most lacking in this world is this regret medicine. Even if Xiao Yi's intestines are turned green, it is of no use.

After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, she stopped her hand and stepped back, kneeling on her knees, with a sad face, and said: "Your Majesty is wise, someone took advantage of my father to go to the frontier, bravely fought on the battlefield, and did not care about the rear. This move is really true. It’s outrageous. If this person’s plot really succeeds, not only will my daughter’s father die in vain, but the situation in the Liaodong war will also be..." After a pause, Gu Yuqing did not continue, but restrained her words and said, "I hope the emperor will understand clearly. !”

As Gu Yuqing finished speaking, Xiao Yi's heart trembled, and he and the British Duke seemed to be looking at each other. After receiving Xiao Yi's instructions, the British Duke turned around and said: "Your Majesty, even if this secret letter is fake, But the two letters sent by the minister and the Third Highness came directly from the Liaodong battlefield. Regardless of whether someone framed Gu Zhen or not, His Majesty should send someone to the Liaodong battlefield to find out."

"As Gu Yuqing said, even if someone frames Gu Zhen, I'm afraid his target is also on the Liaodong battlefield. As a result, the situation on the Liaodong battlefield becomes even more important to investigate. I am willing to take the order!"

After he finished speaking, Gu Yuqing immediately turned his head and looked at Gongsun Mu aggressively with a cold look in his eyes.

"General Gongsun just said that there are two letters from you and His Highness the Third Highness?"

Not to mention that Gongsun Mu was a hussar general ordered by the imperial court. Just because his age and experience were far different from Gu Yuqing's, he would not take this little girl who had just grown haircut in his eyes. Hearing this, he sneered coldly, "Of course. !" In the words, he straightened his chest and turned his nostrils to Gu Yuqing, with a look of disdain.

Gu Yuqing waited for him to finish speaking, and immediately turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have reason to suspect that these forged and framed letters searched from the Chinan Marquis Mansion were written by General Gongsun and His Highness the Third Highness. As for the two letters written by The letter sent to His Majesty by the two of them is probably also a forgery, and the purpose is..."

Before Gu Yuqing could finish speaking, Gongsun Mu and Xiao Yi both shouted at him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

They burst into angry voices in unison, and after the voice fell, Xiao Yi clasped his fists at the emperor, "Your Majesty also knows that this Gu Yuqing has always been sharp-tongued. She can manage the entire Chinan Marquis Mansion without leakage. It can be seen that she is not an ordinary woman without scheming. This person who was banned from the imperial army The letters that the commander searched might have been placed in the study by Gu Yuqing himself."

Gu Yuqing sneered, "Your Highness, is this a show? I put it in myself. Why should I put it in myself? Do I have the ability to predict the future? I expected early on that His Majesty would send the imperial army to search the Chinan Marquis Mansion, but Even so, shouldn’t I destroy those letters that were searched by the Imperial Army from my father’s bedroom in advance?”

Xiao Yi's words just now were blurted out in a hurry, and he immediately regretted the words.

Gu Yuqing pressed further, "Your Highness, please give me an explanation. Why do you say that I put that letter in myself? What evidence or basis do you have? A high-ranking prince will never talk nonsense! Your Highness, please give me an explanation." Let me give you an explanation!"

Xiao Yi was forced to clench her fists by Gu Yuqing's words, but could not say a word.

From the radiant light shining in Gu Yuqing's eyes, at this moment, he was sure that it was indeed Gu Yuqing who put the letter in, but how could he explain it... Once he explained it, he would be admitting that the letters searched by the Forbidden Army , he instigated the forgery.

Gu Yuqing's move was very ruthless, blocking his escape route.

Just when Xiao Yi felt relieved, Gu Yuqing said again: "His Highness the Third Highness cannot give any evidence, but I have evidence."

"The Third Highness and General Gongsun are related by marriage, and my father and the Fourth Highness are related by marriage. The Third Highness wants to seize the throne, and the Fourth Highness, who is deeply loved by His Majesty, has become a thorn in the Third Highness's side. In order to remove this thorn in the side, The Third Highness made people lie and falsely accused my father of collaborating with the enemy. This is equivalent to ripping out the mountain of support behind the Fourth Highness."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Yi's eyelids bulged in anger, and his gloomy eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light. If he hadn't been in the Imperial Study Room, he would have just strangled the man in front of him to death!
"Am I talking nonsense? Even if you don't mention my father, just about the Yongning Marquis Mansion, would the Third Highness please explain it?"

"I don't need to say anything about the temperament and ability of Marquis Yongning. You all know better than me. But even Marquis Yongning and His Highness the Third Highness refused to let him go. They even bribed his concubines to poison and kill the third lady. She was wrongfully framed by the Bai family in a vain attempt. His Highness's trusted concubine, the Minister of War, was given to Marquis Yongning as a continuation string. Your Highness has spent so much effort on Marquis Yongning, how could he let go of my father, whose ability and strength are more than a little bit higher than Marquis Yongning's?"

Xiao Yi was speechless by Gu Yuqing.

The matter of the Yongning Hou Mansion was his weakness. As long as Gu Yuqing mentioned these two matters together, he could not explain it.

The only thing he can do is beat him to death.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yi knelt down and faced the emperor with sincerity, saying: "Father, the emperor clearly knows that the incident in the Yongning Marquis Mansion was really not done by my son. I don't know why my son has become the target of public criticism. Now we are The discussion was about Gu Zhen’s rebellion, and why Gu Yuqing insisted on imputing the crime of the Yongning Hou Mansion case to my son, who felt that Gu Yuqing had ulterior motives."

Xiao Yi tried his best to defend himself, but the emperor's heart was happy that Gu Zhen and Xiao Yu had not betrayed him one moment, and the next moment, he was angry and cold at the same time as Gu Yuqing and himself speculated about the matter.

Eagle-like eyes were staring straight at Xiao Yi, watching his sophistry every word, the emperor's heart became colder and colder. When he finished speaking, he said: "Then you can explain to me. On the night of the incident in Yongninghou Mansion, Yongninghou Mansion Why did your maid go to your mansion? What was she doing in the middle of the night?"

When Xiao Yi heard this, he was struck by lightning!
The fact that my father could ask such a precise matter is enough to prove that he has already investigated the matter privately. If he tries to defend himself, it will not only be weak and pale, but also ridiculous.

Thinking back to the confident denial just now, Xiao Yi felt as if there were millions of bugs gnawing at his heart. All the moisture in his lips evaporated in an instant, and they were as dry and cracked as a field ravine. He licked his tongue a few times and opened and closed the corners of his mouth, but his throat felt like it was covered by an old and dirty piece. The rag was blocked and I couldn't utter a single word.
