Could it be that De'an, who is close to the emperor, has been bribed by officials from the eldest prince's lineage?
Only in this way can it be explained. After all, the only one who can serve the emperor personally is De'an, and the emperor trusts him the most.
The emperor is getting old, and he may die one day. It is normal for De'an to find a next family for himself. After all, everyone has his own plans.
Although he thinks this is a possibility, Gu Chengyu is not sure yet.
After another thought, Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that the emperor was already old, his body was not as good as before, and he still had cold legs.
Therefore, in the cold winter, two charcoal pots would be lit in the Imperial Study Room, so the temperature in the Imperial Study Room was very high.
The last time Gu Chengyu went there, he was sweating a little. Moreover, he wore relatively thin clothes in the past, which shows how afraid the emperor is of the cold.
But just relying on these two charcoal basins, there is no guarantee that they will be revealed unless they are too close, right? In short, there are too many uncontrollable factors.
However, Gu Chengyu knew that the emperor would still use the hand stove when the weather was very cold. And when reviewing memorials, the emperor would place the hand stove next to the memorial.
Qiu Yifan's father-in-law is a third-level official, and he has the opportunity to meet the saint alone, so it is not surprising to know these things.
Could it be that Qiu Yifan was betting on this? But Gu Chengyu always felt that this was a bit unreliable.
He still prefers the former. It seems that this De'an needs to be careful, but Gu Chengyu has no intention of reminding the emperor.
Not to mention that he had no evidence at all, the emperor would not believe his words at all.
Moreover, this is a fight between princes, and he cannot intervene yet. To put it in a cold-blooded way, who is the emperor has anything to do with him?
But now that this evidence is in his hands, it will not be easy to deal with Qiu Yifan on this matter.
At that time, I didn't know what Qiu Yifan had done. To be cautious, Gu Chengyu still didn't dare to try to take advantage of the situation.
If he knew what Qiu Yifan planned, he would directly give the piece he had to Zhang Hai.
Moreover, it is not easy to bring down Qiu Yifan without any evidence. It seems that we can only wait for the opportunity.
Gu Chengyu felt that being stared at by a poisonous snake was uncomfortable. Although this was relatively common in the officialdom, Gu Chengyu would never be soft-hearted if he had the opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers.
Looking at the rice paper in his hand regretfully, Gu Chengyu put it back into the space.
The next day, Prince Jing walked out of the palace with a livid face. Xiao Chengzi saw the prince's face turned ugly and understood that the prince's entry into the palace this time was not smooth.
When the carriage left the palace gate, King Jing opened the curtain on the window and looked at the towering city wall that was slowly retreating. He felt that he could not vent the depression in his heart.
Throwing aside the curtain, Prince Jing leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to meditate.
Xiao Chengzi looked at Prince Jing's pursed lips and suddenly felt that the silence in the car made him breathless.
Prince Jing thought that his father had summoned him just now for his marriage.
Even though he had been mentally prepared for it, when his father told him that the daughter-in-law of Zhenguo Palace had been betrothed to Gu Chengyu, he could hardly control the overwhelming force in his heart.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Compensation? How to compensate? Can you compensate for all the grievances he has suffered since childhood?
For all the grievances I had suffered in the past few years, my father had never felt any compunction and compensated him, but now he was just pretending.
She said she was told to choose a concubine, and she took it seriously.
The father knew clearly that he had chosen that girl to be his concubine, but because of Liang Zhirui's few words, he replaced his concubine with someone else.
The scene just now appeared in Prince Jing's mind, and it was really unforgettable for him.
Fourth child! Liang Zhirui followed his father when he was still the prince.
He devoted himself to the imperial court and was even more loyal to me. Later, when he became an official, his father agreed to him on impulse.
Now he comes to me to ask for my granddaughter's marriage, and I can't bear to refuse.
What's more, I made him a promise back then, and he came here just to make me fulfill my promise.
Fourth child! I know I have wronged you, but I have already chosen a girl from a noble family to be your main concubine, and you should choose the other concubines yourself.
Don't worry, that girl's family background is not bad, her rules are strict, and she will definitely be worthy of your status.
Prince Jing opened his eyes slightly, his eyes filled with coldness. Who was that girl? She was actually Li Fangyun, the eldest daughter of Li Wei, the minister of Taichang Temple.
To say that the Minister of Taichang Temple is an official of the third rank, he is barely worthy of his legitimate daughter.
But as far as Prince Jing knew, Li Wei had already joined Xia Qing's sect, and Xia Qing usually valued Li Wei very much.
His father's move must have deep meaning. If he became Li Wei's son-in-law, what would Li Wei choose?
He is a powerless and neglected prince. After the crown prince ceremony is held, he will be driven back to his fiefdom. Will Li Wei turn against him?
Even though he became Li Wei's son-in-law, Li Wei didn't see any hope in him, and he probably wouldn't place such a heavy treasure on himself.
What's more, he didn't think much of Li Wei's talent. He was a good at flattery. But when it came to being upright and practical, he felt he was far behind Gu Chengyu.
Of course, looking at the entire court, it would be difficult to find someone who can compare with Gu Chengyi.
Moreover, Li Wei's ability to sit in this position relied on the strength of his family on the one hand, and the support of Xia Qing on the other.
As for his own ability, it can only be considered a small part.
Prince Jing disliked Li Wei, and he was even less optimistic about the girls in the Li family.
I heard that the girls in that family have very strict rules and are very strict in their behavior and behavior. They are not as smart and cute as the girls in the family.
My father was indeed right. The rules of the Li family girl were very good, and no one could find anything wrong with her.
But the girls from the Li family all have the temperament of an old nun who has been in the palace for many years, and even the steps they take are the same size.
He always keeps a straight face, as if he is not interested in anything.
This is no longer a secret in the capital, probably because the old lady in the Li family had such rules when she was young.
Moreover, when the old lady of the Li family goes to a banquet, she likes to show everyone her granddaughter's rules and is proud of them.
Little did he know that all the aristocratic families in the capital were laughing at the Li family behind their backs, saying that the girls in the Li family were just puppets holding strings.
However, this is not a big deal to Prince Jing. The princess has strict rules and can help manage the inner courtyard.
As for knowledge, knowledge and interest, it would be impossible if he didn't have it! He couldn't have only one princess anyway.
What made him angry was that his father didn't take him seriously at all, and waited two days after agreeing to Liang Zhirui before telling him about the matter. How indifferent was he to him?
Now he was dismissed with just one or two words, and choosing a concubine seemed like a gift to him.
