"If your highness really wanted to frame you, would he spend so much time searching? Your highness, why don't you think about it carefully, is there a spy in your mansion? "
Bai ruotong would not believe a word of his words. She knew Gu Yanqing very well. Even if he wanted to get rid of Gu chenlian, he would never use such a vicious way.
She firmly believes that.
"You mean Bai Yinling? It's impossible. I've already asked... "
"Just asked?"
Bai Rutong said with a smile, "will she admit that, your highness, I did this thing? Are you too naive? "
Gu chenlian choked: "but Bai Yinling will never frame this palace!"
"Yes, she won't frame you, but it doesn't mean others won't. Prince Rong is not the only enemy of his royal highness. "
Bai ruotong said again.
"But it's in Prince Rong's best interest to put the palace in prison."
Gu chenlian's words contain a touch of sadness. At any time, Bai ruotong spoke to Gu Yanqing. It seems that in her heart, she trusted Gu Yanqing wholeheartedly.
"Yes, it's the best for me to put you in prison, but the person who framed you is not me," Gu Yanqing, who has never spoken, said at this time. "I will investigate this matter, but you also have to think clearly. If I investigate it clearly, can you accept the outcome?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Gu chenlian didn't understand.
"Literally." Gu Yanqing came back.
He looked down and thought for a moment, then suddenly understood: "you mean, the killer is..."
"As you think."
Gu Yanqing did not point out clearly.
Bai ruotong screwed her eyebrows, but they were not straightforward. She couldn't understand a word.
"Stay here and I will give you back your innocence!"
Gu Yanqing said that and left the prison with Bai ruotong's hand. When he got out of the cell, he leaned over and held her gently.
"What are you doing?"
She pushed his hand, but could not escape his embrace.
"Little girl, no matter what you say, you believe in me," Gu Yanqing said. "When we go back, I will tell you everything, as long as you don't misunderstand me.
You also tell me what you know. Shall we open our hearts? "
Bai said: "will you believe me in everything I say? No doubt? "
"I can see that you have kept something from me all the time, so..."
Gu Yanqing pause, "so, you don't cheat the king, and don't hide everything in your heart, no matter what, tell the king, OK?"
Her heart warmed slightly. She thought she was hiding well. He couldn't see it. But in fact, just as she knows him, how can he not know her.
Bai ruotong nodded: "OK."
……
When he came to the Ministry of punishment, Li Yan had been waiting for a long time. He asked someone to serve Gu Yanqing two cups of hot tea. After taking his seat, he asked, "what does your highness want to ask me?"
"I want to know. What does Mr. Li think about it?"
Gu Yanqing asked softly.
Li Yan didn't know what he meant, and his eyes were full of doubts.
"Father and emperor have always been fond of the third younger brother. Today, why did you let Mr. Li suddenly investigate the third younger brother? Can't Mr. Li be frank with us?"
Gu Yanqing asked.
Li Yan smiles awkwardly and shakes his head. It seems that there is something hard to say: "what your highness said is just what I am puzzled about. I don't understand why the emperor suddenly did it."
"Did someone say something to his father?"
Gu Yanqing asked.
