Gu Chengyu turned around and was about to exit the dormitory, when suddenly a voice came from behind, "Jin Yu! No matter what happens in the future, please protect Brother Ye's life. Can you agree with me?"
The emperor looked at Gu Chengyu's thin back and asked nervously.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "I agree!"
"Okay, I'm satisfied!" A relieved smile appeared on the emperor's face. As long as Gu Chengyu agreed, he knew that Gu Chengyu would definitely do it.
"Even if you replace him, I won't blame you! As long as you protect brother Ye's life and leave incense for me, I will be able to rest in peace in the future."
The emperor said softly, then he took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Come here, grind the ink for me!"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu just told me that you have to rest, so you can't stay here!" A chamberlain quickly entered the inner hall. He had just been transferred from the Queen Mother's Palace to serve.
"Mo Mo, I want to draw up an imperial edict!" The emperor ordered him to help him up, panting heavily and trying to get up. He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at any time, so of course he had to make preparations in advance.
"Have these people been recruited?" Gu Chengyu stood in the cell of Dali Temple, looking at the few people in the prison, and asked Peng Fang, the Prime Minister of Zuosi next to him.
"Sir! They were all recruited, but the confessions of two of them did not match. Zhang Yuchu said that he was originally on duty today, but Wang Yuchu was going to celebrate his mother's birthday tomorrow, so the two of them switched the days of duty. But it was just
The change was made privately without asking for instructions from the superior. However, Wang Yuchu said that he was originally on duty today, and Zhang Yuchu lied."
Peng Fang handed a stack of confessions to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu took them and started reading them.
"What do other people say? The person who came to find them should have a deacon's record!" It shouldn't be difficult to find out which of these two people is lying.
"Others said the same thing as Wang Yuchu. The villain had just found their superior, but the superior said that Wang Yuchu was lying. He also showed the villain his deacon record, which was consistent with his statement. The superior originally remembered that it was Zhang
Royal chef!"
"According to what you said, those on duty in the imperial kitchen all thought that Wang Yuchu was on duty today. But their superior said that Zhang Yuchu was on duty. Is that true?" Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, no matter who of the two said it.
Lie, anyway, it has something to do with them.
"Exactly!" Peng Fang nodded.
"Have you searched their residence? Are there any abnormalities among the other chamberlains and maids?" Gu Chengyu was wondering who was lying.
"We searched, but we couldn't find the rhizome of the dove flower!" Ke Jun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, strode into the cell in Dali Temple. Because he was the one who captured the man, he could come and go freely in this cell today.
"Master Ke!" Gu Chengyu saluted. The commander of the Imperial Guard was a second-grade officer, but he was two levels higher than him.
"Gu Siqing!" Ke Jun nodded, "Everyone is already here, and Gu Siqing will take over the next interrogation. If there is still any need for help, Gu Siqing can just ask."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Ke." Gu Chengyu looked at Ke Jun's back. This man was quite polite to him.
Nowadays, there are many people in the court who dislike him. Of course, there are also many people who want to curry favor with him and those who are waiting to see what happens. This person is friendly to him but not overly flattering, which gives him a good impression.
"You will interrogate the imperial chefs on duty today again and cross-examine them carefully!" Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for the chief of the imperial kitchen to lie. If this person really had a problem, then he would naturally have to give a unified confession to these imperial chefs. But at present, it seems
That was not the case.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there will be problems with the other few people. There must be something fishy in this.
"Yes!" Peng Fang agreed. He looked at Gu Chengyu before turning and walking towards those people.
Gu Chengyu was promoted too quickly, and when Suiwu was stabbed to death, his backer fell. If it weren't for his low rank and his quick escape, he would have been greatly implicated.
It seems that I have to perform well in front of this person in the future, otherwise I will really have no hope of promotion.
"Since the servants and maids have not found the rhizome of the dove flower, these royal chefs are very suspicious. Go to their residences and search carefully." Gu Chengyu said to several other Dali Temple officials,
Then he left the cell in Dali Temple directly.
Walking to the same place he had been visiting every day for several days, he saw the familiar little figure sitting on the porch in a daze from a distance.
"Why are you late today?" Hearing the footsteps, the eldest prince quickly put down the hand holding his chin and sat upright.
"See Your Highness! There are some things delayed today." Gu Chengyu sat next to him and looked at the sky. The weather these days has been a little warmer than the previous days. It will be the second day of February in two days, and spring is here!
"Father, are you sick?" A soft voice sounded next to him. The lonely and childish voice made Gu Chengyu feel soft in his heart.
"yes!"
"What grandma said, everyone in the palace knows."
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. He did not expect that the Queen Mother would tell the eldest prince about this.
"Master Gu, my father seems to have been ill recently. When will he get better?" Zhao Guangye tilted his head and looked at the people beside him. Although he could only see a little bright color flashing in front of his eyes, he still looked at it persistently.
past.
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Zhao Guangye would suddenly reveal his identity. After all, the two of them never mentioned the matter during this period and only talked about it normally.
"Your Highness, are your eyes better today?" Gu Chengyu did not want to answer. Although Zhao Guangye was old, he should not deceive him.
"Much better, you are indeed Mr. Gu!" Zhao Guangye curled his lips, he had already guessed it.
"I have something important to do today, so I have to take my leave. Your Highness should go back to your palace first! It's cold in spring, and the wind here is strong, so you're prone to wind chill!"
Gu Chengyu stood up, bowed and walked out. Zhao Guangye didn't stop him, but just listened to the footsteps gradually walking away.
After walking far away, Gu Chengyu looked back at Zhao Guangye. From the moment he saw the child, maybe they were tied together.
"Sir! We have found out that it is Zhang Yuchu who is lying. We have already found the rhizome powder of the dovetail flower in his home." As soon as he entered the cell of Dali Temple, Peng Fang came up to him.
"Can you tell me who ordered it?" Gu Chengyu became more energetic and asked immediately.
"No, I'm still holding on! Sir, may I use torture?" Peng Fang asked cautiously.
"Yes! Find out the mastermind as soon as possible, and always be careful not to let him die!" Gu Chengyu glanced at Peng Fang. This man was quite capable. He was acting like this in front of him at the moment, and he was afraid that he wanted to hug him.
.
No matter who this person was before, he is definitely not from Prince Jing. In that case, let’s use it first!
On March 15th of the second year of Guanghui, Ge Yuan, the seventh prince of Daxing, led his envoys to the capital of Dayan.
