Lord Gu quickly entered the palace, cried a lot, and begged the emperor to be merciful and allow the matter to be investigated thoroughly before handling. If Gu Si was really found guilty, he, the father, would kill him with his own hands.
Marquis Gu and Emperor Ming Yuan had a childhood friendship. Seeing his old friend crying so sadly made Emperor Ming Yuan feel a little soft-hearted no matter how angry he was.
Yu Wenhao waited for the Marquis to leave before entering the palace to report, saying that Gu Si didn't say a word, so it seemed that there was someone or something protecting him.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious but thought of Lord Gu, and asked him to investigate quickly to find out who he was trying to protect.
King Ji heard from the side and said calmly: "Gu Si is the captain of the guard beside my father. His responsibility is to protect the king. Looking at the entire capital, the person he has the deepest friendship with is you, the fifth brother. If he wants to fight this
To save his life, only my father and fifth brother are worthy of him."
Yu Wenhao said coldly: "Brother, what you said is outrageous. Why is Gu Si trying to protect my father? Do you suspect that my father hurt my eighth brother? You are talking without thinking."
King Ji chuckled and said, "Fifth brother, since you want to misunderstand me, there is nothing I can do about it."
Emperor Ming Yuan gave the two men a gloomy look and said, "It's better to do something practical than to bicker here. Get out of here!"
King Ji looked calm and said: "Father, I still have something to say."
"Say!" Emperor Ming Yuan said slightly, is it over yet?
King Ji stepped forward and said: "Father, in the Minghua Palace, the eunuch is dead, the eighth brother is injured, Gu Si is holding a long sword dripping with blood, and the fifth brother goes in and catches Gu Si, that is,
He said that when the eighth brother was injured, only Gu Si and the fifth brother were there, and there would be no third person, so there were only three murderers, either Gu Si, the fifth brother, or the eighth brother stabbed himself with a sword, and then
One palm shattered my heart."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him, "How do you know there are only four of them in Minghua Hall? Are you there?"
King Ji felt the cold look in Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes, and his heart trembled, and he quickly said: "I am just speculating."
"How about you guess when the case in Tingjiang Mansion will be completed?" Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily.
Hearing the mention of the case in Tingjiang Mansion, Prince Ji did not dare to express his anger. He only said calmly: "I am talking nonsense."
When Yu Wenhao heard that he was scolded, he felt more balanced.
However, he did not dare to stay and retreated.
King Ji also withdrew.
He stopped Yu Wenhao outside and said coolly: "Gu Si and the fifth brother are good friends. This time something happens to Gu Si, the fifth brother will run for him at all costs, right? Even the excuses of covering up and hiding something.
Come out, could it be that a fox demon killed someone in the end, and Gu Si was also deceived by the fox demon to calm the matter? That would be really ridiculous."
"Brother!" Yu Wenhao looked at him gloomily and raised his fist, "What do you think this is?"
King Ji sneered, "What? Do you want to hit me? Hit me. Just hit me. Father is inside..."
A fist as big as a casserole hit King Ji on the bridge of his nose. Before King Ji could react, his head felt as if a gong had hit him, causing his ears to ring in pain.
In the midst of the difficulty, King Ji kicked out, and Yu Wenhao kicked him directly on the calf bone. The pain made King Ji hug his left leg and dance in circles, screaming in pain.
The people around him were already frightened, and when they realized what was happening, they quickly ran forward and pulled Yu Wenhao away. Yu Wenhao's hands were held up, so he didn't even struggle. He just watched King Ji finish his dance and punched him.
He was punched alive.
Then I heard the furious voice of Emperor Ming Yuan, "What are you doing?"
King Ji trembled with fright, turned around and knelt down in aggrieved manner, "Father, my fifth brother is so crazy that he beat his son without any explanation when he came out."
Yu Wenhao also knelt down and said with a guilty look on his face: "Father, I dare not fight with my eldest brother."
King Ji said angrily: "You hit me, I didn't fight with you."
When King Ji punched him, he used such force that Yu Wenhao's face immediately swelled up.
But when he hit King Ji, his nose, head, and calves were all internal energy, so there would be no trace for a while.
Therefore, on the surface, he was injured more severely than King Ji.
The most important thing is that Emperor Ming Yuan saw King Ji beating someone with his own eyes.
When Emperor Ming Yuan's gloomy eyes fell on Prince Ji's face, Yu Wenhao kowtowed quickly, "Father, it's my fault. I will go to investigate the case of my eighth brother immediately, and we will follow up after the case comes to light."
Brother apologize!"
"You..." Prince Ji's face suddenly turned purple and his anger burned, "Why don't you dare to admit it if you dare to do it?"
Yu Wenhao held up his hands and said, "Brother, it was my fault. I shouldn't have fought back. I will make amends to you."
King Ji didn't expect Yu Wenhao to be such a two-skinned person. This was definitely not his style. He was usually strict and would never play such a trick.
For a moment, King Ji was so angry that he couldn't speak. He had a good attitude in pleading guilty and said he would apologize later, but now he immediately apologized, which seemed like he was being stubborn and insolent.
Emperor Ming Yuan lowered his face and said to Yu Wenhao: "Why are you still kneeling here? Why don't you hurry up and investigate the case?"
Yu Wenhao stood up and said, "Yes, I will retire!"
King Ji was furious, "Father, you can't believe him..."
"Shut up," Emperor Ming Yuan said, his face darkening with anger, "Kneel here, and you are not allowed to get up without my will!"
Prince Ji couldn't believe his ears. He watched helplessly as his father turned around and went in, but he couldn't even say a word of defense for a while.
He turned around suddenly and could only see Yu Wenhao walking away with an arrogant look.
He gritted his teeth gloomily, "Okay, I'll see how you turn Gu Si over. Even if you can't be cured this time, it's still good if you lose a dog."
Yu Wenhao's beating of him was definitely not impulsive.
I really can't bear it anymore.
The most important thing is that his wife is rescuing Lao Ba, and he is investigating the case. It is absolutely impossible for his father to punish him at this juncture. Of course, he does not rule out settling accounts after the fall. But after a few days, his father's anger
It's almost gone. It's just a punishment of kneeling at most. Even if you have to kneel for three days, it's worth beating that bitch.
Yu Wenhao went to the palace of Concubine Xian.
When he came out yesterday, Eunuch Li told her that the concubine was unwell, so he went to the concubine's palace, but to go to the concubine, he had to pass through the Minghua Palace.
He felt that Gu Si's appearance in Minghua Palace was an accident and should be beyond everyone's expectation.
If Gu Si hadn't been there at that time and he had rushed in, he, Lao Ba, and the dead eunuch would have been the only ones left at the scene.
He couldn't argue.
Because when he rushed in and carried Lao Ba out, the imperial army had already arrived, very quickly.
He could conclude that the target was him, not Gu Si and not Lao Ba.
What's deplorable is that Lao Ba's life and death are uncertain because of this incident.
When Concubine Xian saw her son coming, she couldn't help asking: "Didn't your father entrust you with an errand? Why are you still coming to my place? Go and do the errands." Yu Wenhao stepped forward and said with concern: "Concubine Mu is not feeling well.
