Chapter 84 Farewell to Your Majesty (11)

Author: Lin Xiyue

Chapter 84 Farewell to Your Majesty (11)

Shi Yu smiled faintly, seemingly not listening to his words at all.

The waxing moon was in the sky, and the bright light shone on her face, adding a bit of holiness and softness to her, but these charming fox eyes were full of worldly calculations.

"King Zhanbei, the fourteenth younger brother of the late emperor, had a deep affection for Princess Zhanbei. After the princess passed away due to illness, she was heartbroken and lost her body due to coughing up blood. Because of the pain, she could not tolerate her pain and indulged herself, so she often went to the fireworks place to fool around."

"Everyone has said that the kindred spirit has become a prodigal."

Gu Zhan's eyes darkened a little, and the smile on his lips turned cold, "It seems you are really not afraid of death."

"King Zhanbei, smart people say smart things. You clearly know who I am. What I did just now was intentional. You need to use me to get out of danger."

Gu Zhan sneered, "I need you? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Shi Yu came closer to Gu Zhan, lowered his head and sniffed his arm, "My lord, you are injured. You must have gone to a place you shouldn't have gone to, and you need a witness to clear away the suspicion."

The smile at the corner of Gu Zhan's mouth cooled down a little, and then he raised the same smile as before.

"This test is indeed good, but I have no injuries on my body."

"But it seems that the prince has indeed gone to a place he shouldn't have gone, otherwise there wouldn't have been the incident just now."

Gu Zhan glanced at her with dark eyes. This thin white neck looked like it could be broken if pinched. It's a pity that such a smart person will not live long.

"Your Majesty, please cooperate."

Seeing the sinister look in his eyes, Shi Yu directly stated his intention to cooperate.

"Cooperation? What do I want to cooperate with you for?" Gu Zhan stared firmly into Shi Yu's eyes.

"It's natural to ascend to the highest position."

Gu Zhan's eyes were filled with bright and dying light, but he did not respond. He just smiled and said: "I am used to being carefree, but I don't want to be a ninety-five supreme king at all."

"What's more, your good nephew is also supported by you. When I see him today, he is indeed not a mortal."

Shi Yu sneered, looking at the lake not far away, the moonlight in her eyes was cold and cold.

"I helped him in exchange, but he didn't do it. In this case, I naturally had to switch sides. My lord, others may not be able to see the ambition in your heart, but I know it clearly."

Shi Yu looked at him seriously and seriously, "Your Majesty, please don't lie to yourself."

Gu Zhan's heart surged with waves.

For so many years, everyone thought that it was absurd for him to lose his beloved wife. They treated him as a useless person and coaxed him like a dog.

Those ministers tried one after another and were finally deceived by him.

After all these years, his spirit has really been tempered a lot.

Being exposed at this moment, whether she was deliberately deceiving him or really reminding him, Gu Zhan felt unspeakable emotions in his heart.

"Shi Yu." He called her name accurately.

Shi Yu smiled knowingly.

Sure enough, he recognized her from the beginning.

"Since you know what I want, what do you want? Or what is your cooperation with my good nephew?"

Shi Yu leaned against the rockery, a cold feeling enveloped her, and her eyes were as cold as ice.

"Take down the Prime Minister."

Gu Zhan was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, please collect evidence of the Prime Minister's crime."

Gu Zhan thought about it for a moment, "The Prime Minister has many disciples who are veterans of the three dynasties. Just some money-making and corruption cannot completely bring him down. The Prime Minister's government is deeply rooted, why are you insisting on this?"

Shi Yu met Gu Zhan's gaze seriously, "It seems that the prince has already investigated him, so I will accuse him of a crime that will make him irredeemable."

"Collaboration with the enemy and treason, how about this?"

Upon hearing the words "collaboration with the enemy and treason", Gu Zhan's expression immediately became serious, his brows furrowed, "Are you sure?"

Shi Yu sighed in his heart that Gu Zhan was more suitable to be emperor than Gu Beiting.

Gu Beiting knew clearly about the Prime Minister's evil deeds and still wanted to rely on his prestige in the court to stabilize his position without thinking about what the country should do.

A selfish person like Gu Beiting is really unworthy.

"Your Majesty, please follow this line and investigate carefully, starting with the slandered Shangshufu family. I believe there will be something to gain."

Gu Zhan looked at Shi Yu, who looked calm, and asked, "Who...are you?"

"You will know it when the prince finds out the key."

The night wind enveloped the two of them with a coolness. During the brief silence, Gu Zhan's eyes never left Shi Yu, and he felt something strange in his heart.

It's like...she knows everything.

Her eyes were calm, but this calm seemed like an illusion. He wanted to see what would happen if it were torn apart!

"I know what you mean, so you said you would help me, how are you going to help me?"

Shi Yu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as the Prime Minister is overthrown and the Emperor suddenly dies without heirs, isn't the throne within His grasp?"

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly, "I don't want to be questioned as a treacherous minister."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be easy to deal with if there is an imperial edict."

Shi Yu smiled lightly. She said it was a big deal but she said it was as simple as eating and sleeping. She was very confident.

"Okay, I will trust you once. Don't let me down. You need to live longer in this palace."

Shi Yu said word for word: "Naturally."

This night was peaceful but not peaceful.

When Shi Yu returned to his palace, there was a faint smile on his face.

I originally thought it would take some time to find an ally, but I didn't expect that we suddenly met today. This can be regarded as a coincidence.

I hope he can really find some evidence of the Prime Minister's crime.

The next day, Gu Beiting got up early. He looked at Zhuang Xianyou, who had been flustered for half the night and fell asleep very late last night, without waking her up, and left quietly.

Just after he packed up and went out, Eunuch Li whispered to him: "Your Majesty, a guard saw King Zhanbei with his maid in the palace last night..."

Even if he didn't say it out loud, Gu Beiting knew what he said next.

He sneered contemptuously, "As an imperial uncle, I only like these things. As long as you don't go too far, just let him go."

"yes."

Gu Beiting thought of that time when he was full of resentment and only wanted to be in power. All his brothers died one by one. After he came to power, all his sisters were married off and they would never come back in this life.

He just wants to get rid of everyone who threatens him.

The succession to the throne was very likely for his uncle. He originally wanted Shi Yu to take action, but she said not to worry about it. His fourteenth uncle was useless and could not affect him. It would be better to do less than to do more.

Done.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. He is too addicted to wine and sex to cause any trouble.

Let him make trouble.

As for Shi Yu...

Thinking of what she said to him in Qinzheng Palace, he felt softer.

"Let's go to admire the Elm Palace in the morning."
