famous eldest daughter

Chapter 709
Let him say something, deny it, admit it, or explain...

He raised his eyes slightly and met the emperor's vicious eyes. Xiao Yi's heart shrank sharply, and overwhelming fear hit his head and face. His white lips trembled slightly, but his mind was spinning rapidly under the despair of being on the verge of death.

No, it can't be like this. What he had been planning for so long, could it be that in the end he just lifted a huge and extremely sharp stone and pointed it at himself?
Even if he couldn't bring down Gu Zhen and Xiao Yu, he still wanted to keep Qingshan here.

In the current situation, with Gu Yuqing's sudden blow, almost all the situations were reversed, and the so-called strong evidence became ridiculous.

Forcing himself to cheer up, Xiao Yi took a few deep breaths, raised his eyes to meet the emperor's eyes, and said as if he was repentant, "Father, what happened to Marquis Yongning was indeed the fault of my son."

When the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly, "You still have the guts to admit it."

"My son is jealous. Xiao Yu is favored by his father. He is also his father's son, but I can't get half of what Xiao Yu gets. My son feels aggrieved. My son is jealous of Xiao Yu, so he did something with Marquis Yongning. What I want to do is to let Yongning Hou cause a lot of trouble, to hinder Xiao Yu, to make my father dislike Xiao Yu more, and to give more love to my son." The result of the rapid rotation in my mind is It was Xiao Yi who played the emotional card.

His explanation makes sense both emotionally and rationally.

Not only did he completely separate from Gu Zhen and the government affairs, but he also made it clear to the emperor what he wanted in his heart. All his actions were just reckless actions by a child who had not been loved in order to get love.

Although what he did was indeed unethical and destructive, his original intention was to gain a share of unfair love.

Even if the emperor wanted to punish him, it would probably not be too severe.

When Gu Yuqing heard this, she snorted in her heart, how could she let Xiao Yi's wishful thinking succeed, he framed her father and murdered Xiao Yu, the two most important men in her life, how could she let him be proud of him.

"Since His Highness poisoned the third lady of the Yongning Marquis Mansion just to make His Majesty dislike the Fourth Highness, then can I think that in the eyes of the Third Highness, all human lives are nothing but child's play in your hands, at your disposal, even as noble as Yongning In the eyes of His Highness, the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion is nothing but a piece of shit. The Yongning House and Concubine Hui are in the same line, and if Your Highness is like this, then ordinary people, in the eyes of His Highness, are not even as good as a piece of shit?"

Following Gu Yuqing's words, Xiao Yi's chest rose and fell violently. He just wanted to stab this woman to death and shut her up. "Don't blame me. Regarding the Yongning Hou Mansion, I admit that I am jealous of Xiao Yucai." What does it have to do with the common people if you lose your senses? No one in the government or the public knows that I cherish the people and love them. Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, I am not at the forefront. My father sees all these things, not you. A few words of provocation can be obliterated."

After saying that, Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at the emperor, "Father, I am guilty, and I am willing to take the blame. But right now, there are a lot of things that are strange about Gu Zhen. I think that there is no smoke without fire, so we should first send someone to Liaodong. To find out, it’s best if nothing happens, and if something happens, it’s better to deal with it quickly. As for my son’s affairs, I let my father take care of him.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if this letter is fake, the two letters that came from the battlefield are true. Your Majesty, I would rather believe it than believe it!" Gongsun Mu, who had been silent and didn't know how to interrupt, immediately answered. road.

Everyone knows how suspicious the emperor is, and it would be a shame to say that he would rather believe it or not.

"Yes, I would rather believe it than believe it. Since General Gongsun and His Highness the Third Highness agreed that they should send people to Liaodong to find out what happened, I have no objections and dare not argue, but I also have a request, so I just said , it is reasonable to suspect that all of this is a deliberate frame-up by His Highness the Third Highness and General Gongsun. In this case, since Your Majesty has allowed the imperial army to search the Chinanhou Mansion, should it be fair to let others search the residence of His Highness the Third Highness and General Gongsun? After all, , those two letters were written by both of them."

When Gu Yuqing mentioned the search for the house, Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat, "Father, the letter I received was sent by Wang Daosheng overnight last night."

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly felt the blood boiling in his body.

Wang Daosheng... is clearly the Wang Daosheng you summoned...

From the beginning to the end, the emperor was hesitant about Gu Zhen's rebellion. One was because of his trust in Gu Zhen's character, and the other was because of what the commander of the Imperial Guard reported last night: His Royal Highness's personal servant seduced the king. Tao is born in the past.

Not to mention why Xiao Yi summoned Wang Daosheng in the middle of the night, the mere fact that his words were inconsistent with the facts made the emperor's suspicions grow stronger.

He still understands how sinister this son's methods are.

What's more, before this incident, the incident at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, the incident at the Queen's collaboration with the enemy, all happened one after another. It is no coincidence!

When the emperor's heart was tumbling, Gu Yuqing said again: "Since it comes from Wang Daosheng's mouth, then I beg your majesty to punish Wang Daosheng. Even if there are injustices under severe punishment, there will be more injustice under severe punishment." truth."

The emperor's eyes moved slightly.

He couldn't get the answer from Xiao Yi as to what Xiao Yi and Wang Daosheng had conspired last night, but Wang Daosheng... raised his hand and the emperor said: "Pull him down for interrogation."

When Wang Daosheng heard this, his legs suddenly became weak and he immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just gave the things I found to His Highness. I am loyal to the court. Is it because I discovered Mr. Gu?" The secret letter to the enemy, will the minister be tortured?"

Gu Yuqing sneered, "If I don't torture you, how about torture His Highness?"

Wang Daosheng's heart suddenly became excited. Gu Yuqing's words were like a wake-up call, making him suddenly realize that if what the Third Highness planned was exposed, then he would be the one who took the blame for the Third Highness. After all, this The letter originated from him. As long as the Third Highness denies what he did and insists that he was the one who sent the letter on his own initiative, the Third Highness will cut off all ties, and he...

The moment of enlightenment made Wang Daosheng's face turn ashen, and he turned to look at Xiao Yi, "Your Highness, tell me something, I am really..."

Xiao Yi wished he could immediately draw a clear line with Wang Daosheng, and how could he plead for him? Knowing that Wang Daosheng could not bear the severe punishment, Xiao Yi still said: "My father's torture on you is also a test of your loyalty. You can only tell the truth." To be honest, what's more, how does this king know that the letter you sent to this king was really found out from the text, in case..."

With a slight movement of his eyebrows, Xiao Yi said: "What if this king is deceived by you?"
