Chapter 248 My Life (two more)
In Xiao Shoufu's view, this sentence is a blatant threat.
Xiao Shoufu squeezed tightly with his hands hidden in his sleeves, only to feel that there was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back, with a reluctant expression on his face, mixed feelings in his heart:
He thought that this matter was guaranteed, he would be able to save the Feng family, and maybe even take advantage of the situation to keep the Yu family.
I didn't expect the First Prince's sword to go off the beaten path, and he actually used such a move, which is equivalent to letting himself overthrow all the doubts that they had suspected of Feng He's assassination.
If the eldest prince was on their side today, he would also applaud the other party, but the other party stood on the opposite side of their family.
This scheming of the eldest prince is really creepy.
Xiao Shoufu's eyes were uncertain.
"Master Xiao?" Chu Yi called again urgingly, picked up a black stone from the chess box, and played with it between his fingers.
Xiao Shoufu felt the corners of his eyes flash again, and a silver light pierced into his right eye. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jiang Lun, who was stroking his cuffs with a smile.
Xiao Shoufu has no doubt that as long as Chu Yi gives an order, the servant named Jiang Lun will come at him like a mad dog again.
And this time, can he get away with saving his life? !
For the mere Feng family and Yu family, is it worth it?
The black jade like black jade was spinning between Chu Yi's slender fingers. Suddenly, his finger slipped, and the black child was about to slip off...
Xiao Shoufu's heart skipped a beat, and the pain in his neck became stronger, and he blurted out, "Your Highness is right."
When these five words are exported, the rest of the words suddenly become much simpler.
Xiao Shoufu took a deep breath, and continued in a stiff tone: "Gu Qianhu is loyal, and he must have found Feng He's inappropriate behavior before taking action to **** him."
Feng She and Feng Sanye both changed their expressions.
Chu Yi smiled lightly, neither saying good nor bad, the sunspot was still playing with his fingers.
Xiao Shoufu's hair on the back of his neck stood on end, and he could only say it again in a positive tone: "Feng He assassinated His Highness because of infidelity, and Gu Yuan did a great job in saving him."
Pity! Mu Sheng sighed inwardly in disappointment.
But it was just a sigh. He looked thoughtfully at Chu Yi by the window, and saw a glimmer of hope.
During the reign of the late emperor, he reused the family, and every chief assistant appointed by the late emperor was a son of the family.
Today, I have the intention to promote the children of the poor family, but unfortunately, my body is weak and my temperament is too generous, so I am powerless.
On the contrary, it was this young eldest prince. Judging from what he said and did today, he was obviously not that incompetent.
Perhaps, I can earn this merit from the dragon.
And only by letting the noble family vacate the place they occupied can he be able to take it to the next level.
Mu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly calmed down, and said casually, "That's right."
"This matter couldn't be simpler. At that time, there were so many people in Chengtianmen as witnesses."
When he said this, those Qingliu censors nodded again and again, and felt that it was true.
Under the eyes of the public, seeing so many people is believing, how could the First Prince slander Feng He.
That is, these noble families are in a group, and for the reputation of the Feng family, they have to pour dirty water on Gu Yuan's body.
Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Jian were stunned, their minds went blank.
Since even Xiao Shoufu admitted that Feng He assassinated the eldest prince, then Mrs. Gu's confession became a big joke.
Actually, Gu Yuan was also a little confused.
Sister told him not to talk or argue, so he would not talk or argue, but how did things come to this point?
He was kneeling all the time, his head half bowed, his expression perfectly concealed.
In the eyes of the Qingliu censors around him, he only felt that Gu Yuan was very calm and resolute at a young age, and this time it was considered a humiliation.
The emperor patted the parrot, and the parrot cried out heartlessly: "Good work! Rescue is good!"
The parrot's loud voice spread throughout the water pavilion, stabbing Xiao Shoufu's heart like needles.
The emperor silently decided to add food to the parrot later, laughed loudly, and praised: "Gu Yuan, you have done a good job in escorting, get up."
This was the first time the emperor called Gu Yuan's name in public instead of Gu Qianhu, which meant that the name Gu Yuan entered the emperor's eyes, even if he was not promoted, it would be different from now on.
This point, Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu Tai naturally understood, the faces of the mother and son became a little darker.
The patriarch showed a look of joy and pride on his face.
The crowd in the water pavilion was divided into two halves, half of them were happy, and the other half were sad.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, clenched his fists towards the emperor neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were as determined as iron.
Remembering what his sister explained before going out, he didn't get up in a hurry, but turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Gu Tai, who was kneeling beside him.
The young man's resolute eyes suddenly changed.
In this look, there is both admiration and sadness.
For Gu Yuan, there is no need to pretend to be able to express it naturally.
Before knowing the truth of the "substitute", Gu Yuan's feelings for Mrs. Gu Tai were indeed so contradictory, and he was just expressing his past feelings at this moment.
The other people around him naturally saw it, and they didn't feel any sympathy for Gu Yuan, especially Patriarch Gu.
Gu Yuan was very successful in his rescue. As a grandmother, Mrs. Gu Tai should have stood by him, supported him, and even refuted those doubters with him when he was questioned, but Mrs. Gu Tai chose to stab her grandson in the back. Almost fell into Gu Yuan's place of infidelity and injustice.
Almost destroyed Gu Yuan.
Where is the grandmother, she is an enemy!
"..." Mrs. Gu Tai's heart sank, her graceful face couldn't hide her old look.
She knelt for too long, her knees were numb as if they didn't belong to her, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, she knew that this move was completely lost.
She opened her lips slightly, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Feng She and Feng Sanye, with the last glimmer of hope, only to see that the brothers of the Feng family had knelt down at some point.
Feng family, it's over.
The hope in her heart was completely extinguished, she pursed her lips, and didn't say a word.
Gu Jian also felt the condemning eyes cast on Mrs. Gu Tai and herself. She was anxious and looked at Mrs. Tai with expectant eyes, hoping she could do something more.
However, Mrs. Gu Tai didn't move, like a body from which the soul was taken away, dumbfounded.
Gu Yuan stood up from the ground slowly, and his gestures were vigorous and agile, like a young leopard, in stark contrast to the decadent Mrs. Gu Tai's mother and son.
The emperor's eyes passed over Gu Yuan gently, and finally settled on Mrs. Gu Tai, and said to the eunuch: "Zhao Rang, what is written on the book that Mrs. Gu Tai just handed over?"
While speaking, the emperor picked up a white stone from the chess box and slowly dropped it on the chessboard.
He finally figured out how to play this move. Well, this move was a good move.
The emperor rubbed his beard with satisfaction and looked at Chu Yi opposite the chessboard with a smile.
Chu Yi was holding a blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip.
He just sat there drinking tea, and there was an elegant demeanor like the breeze and the moon.
Zhao Rang respectfully answered the order, and quickly took out Mrs. Gu's accusation.
Gu Jian's heart skipped a beat, her body was as stiff as ice for a moment, and she wished she could fly over to take Zhezi back from Zhao Rang's hand.
But he couldn't do anything, he could only listen to Zhao Rang's slow recitation of the excerpt.
Actually, this book was drawn up by Gu Jian for Mrs. Gu Tai, and it was written by Mrs. Gu. He knew every word in the book by heart.
But at this moment, this book that he personally drew up was like a knife stabbed into his heart, and the knife was repeatedly poking in and out of his heart, trembling all over.
Time seemed to be slowed down infinitely, and Gu Jian felt tormented.
The emperor and Chu Yi played chess on their own, and after playing three or four more pieces, the emperor was stumped again, frowning in thought.
Mrs. Gu Tai's essay is not long. It was Zhao Rang who habitually dragged a long tone, but he finished reading it quickly.
The water pavilion was quiet for a while, and the emperor raised his head from the chessboard for a long time, looked back and forth at Gu Yuan and Mrs. Gu Tai, and said with some displeasure in doubt: "Gu Yuan's rescue is very good, why does Mrs. Gu turn black and white like this? "
Zhao Rang gently closed the book, coughed dryly, and seemed to be hesitant, but he still replied: "Your Majesty, the servant just heard from Mrs. Gu Tai that the late Marquis Gu Ce was not from her, but her biological mother was. The old man's concubine."
Zhao Rang's voice happened to be heard clearly by everyone present.
Most of the people were surprised, and looked at Mrs. Gu Tai with one after another in astonishment.
This is a major event related to the title of the Marquis.
The emperor's expression also changed, and he threw a chess piece between his fingers back into the chess box, slightly raising his voice: "What happened?!"
Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Jian's mother and son were suddenly startled, especially Mrs. Gu Tai, the folds between her brows were so deep that they could almost trap mosquitoes, and they realized that this matter didn't seem very good.
The emperor stroked his beard and looked again at Gu Yuan, who was standing beside him. He looked at him up and down, as if thinking.
After a while, the emperor shook his head and sighed meaningfully: "No wonder..."
