Chapter 94 Send Your Majesty to the Funeral Day (21)

Chapter 94 Farewell to Your Majesty (21)

Author: Lin Xiyue

Gu Beiting breathed a sigh of relief and put the jade seal back to its original place, "I followed what you said. The queen really found a way to calm me down. Ah Yu, you have the solution after all."

"As for what you said last time about dealing with courtiers, after this matter is over, if I do this again, there will always be a relaxation period."

Shi Yu nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."

After getting such great benefits from this quarrel, it is natural that he will stop for a while, but his unwillingness and cowardice will eventually push him to move forward as she wants.

but……

If it was designed by Zhuang Xianyou, then she probably knew what she wanted to do.

It seems that some interesting things will happen again when worshiping ancestors.

"Ayu, I may have to wrong you again in the past few days." Gu Beiting looked apologetic.

In order to stabilize Zhuang Xianyou and the Prime Minister, he must be kind to her these days. After all, the affairs of his mother and queen have not been completely settled yet.

Shi Yu's smile did not diminish, "I understand, I understand."

It's really a reality to speak kindly to her when you need her and throw her aside when you don't.

In the evening, Gu Beiting went to Zhuang Xianyou's place again and stayed at her place for several days. Sometimes he met Zhuang Xianyou on the road, looking as arrogant as a hen that had won a fight.

Shi Yu just laughed it off.

On the day of ancestor worship, there was great momentum. Gu Beiting took Zhuang Xianyou's hand and sat on the sedan chair together wearing imperial robes. Shi Yu walked beside the sedan chair.

Zhuang Xianyou raised her chin and looked down at her with disdain.

So what if the emperor's attitude towards her is different? She is the one sitting with the emperor now!

No matter what, her identity is just a slave!

Shi Yu naturally noticed such a hostile gaze, but there was no need for her to look at her, it was too wasteful.

The sedan carriage headed towards Zhaoling.

Shi Yu saw Gu Zhan in the crowd. As the late emperor's brother, he also needed to go. Their eyes only met for a moment and then they moved away in tacit understanding, as if nothing happened just now.

Before arriving at Zhaoling, I went to the ancestral temple to add Gu Beiting's mother's name and tablet, but it could only be placed at the end.

Moreover, we don’t know how her bones were disposed of in the first place, and they can no longer be found.

The group of them stayed at the ancestral temple to rest for the night before setting off again tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, a black figure entered Shi Yu's room.

There were no candles burning in the room, only the bright moonlight filtering through the window paper. Although it was faint, I could still see clearly who was in front of me.

Gu Zhan deliberately chose a time when no one was around. He thought Shi Yu had already taken a rest, but when he came in, he saw her sitting on a stool, looking in the direction of the door with a faint smile on her face.

It looks like a fake.

Gu Zhan felt a little cold on his back.

It wasn't until Shi Yu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of coarse tea that he dared to walk over and sit down next to her.

"You expected me to come?"

Shi Yu smiled and said nothing, "Your Majesty, it's better to tell you directly, what did you find?"

There was only coarse tea in the temple, the kind that could only quench thirst without tasting the taste. Gu Zhan, a pampered person like him, didn't care much. He took a sip of cold tea and took something out of his pocket and placed it in front of Shi Yu.

Shi Yu picked it up, looked down line by line under the faint moonlight, and sneered.

"He has indeed done a lot of things."

He promoted his own disciples and took away the rankings of others, and slowly made most of the entire court belong to his people. Then he colluded with the local government to seize the land for himself, and oppressed the people to accept bribes.

He also secretly traded a large part of the copper mined with enemy countries.

You must know that if these fine coppers enter the enemy's country, it will not take long before they become weapons in their hands to kill our soldiers and civilians.

He didn't care at all that he was making a lot of money.

As long as there is a threat to his status, if you can't get him on your pirate ship, then find a way to get rid of him.

This is how the Shangshu Mansion was framed by him, and the entire clan did not end well.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is very grand, isn't it?" Shi Yu's voice deepened.

Gu Zhan also chuckled and shook his head, "No, at least when I went there, the Prime Minister's Mansion was just ordinary, without the slightest violation of the rules. But how much is hidden in the private treasury and how much is the behavior in private?

Got it."

"He is really careful." Shi Yu put the things in his hands on the table and looked at Gu Zhan with a half-smile.

Her eyes were cold, like a wolf locked on its prey in this night. Whenever she decided to take action, she would not let go until she saw blood.

"These things from King Zhanbei can't be collected in just a few days, right?"

The two looked at each other. Gu Zhan put these things back into his arms and smiled, "Of course."

With smart people, there is no need to go through so many twists and turns.

He started collecting these evidences very early. The Prime Minister was very cautious. It took him many years to collect them, and then he added them one by one, but he never handed over these incriminating evidences.

Precisely because he has this evidence in hand, he has a better understanding of the current situation in the court.

These things must be killed with one hit, otherwise they will just be a pile of waste paper. He will not throw them out easily before he is absolutely sure.

Everything will seem insignificant in the face of interests.

Gu Zhan knew his nephew very well. Because he had been living in the cold palace and in a difficult situation, the inferiority complex in his bones could not be completely eliminated. He wanted to secure the throne so much that he would not completely fall out with the prime minister for this reason.

At least not now.

But if we continue to wait, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will be buried in the coffin with the honorary status of a veteran of three dynasties. It is ridiculous to think about it.

"I know everything about you in the palace. If you can save your life, you have the ability."

Shi Yu smiled but said nothing.

It seems that he has many people in the palace.

"Why did you choose him alone?" Gu Zhan asked curiously.

"At that time, he was my only choice." Shi Yu asked, "I'm curious why the prince didn't take action at that time?"

It's not easy for him to collect so much evidence.

Gu Zhan let out a cold snort from his nostrils, with a hint of ridicule and contempt in his eyebrows.

"My brother sent people to keep an eye on me every day. How could he take action? The thing he couldn't let go of the most was me. If he hadn't died so suddenly, I'm afraid there would have been an imperial edict asking me to accompany him.

.”

His brother's appointment to the throne was not a natural one, and he always harbored suspicion in his heart. It was a pity that he had not many heirs and few were capable, which was considered retribution.

No matter who came to power, he had a plan in mind, but he didn't expect that it would be from the cold palace.

In fact, he didn't plan to take action so early, but Shi Yu got involved, so it didn't hurt to give it a try.

Her words were still very tempting.

Shi Yu nodded and understood.

"Your Majesty, I know that you have a lot of evidence of the Prime Minister's crimes, but are there any results from the investigation I asked Your Majesty to do?"
