"Your majesty, your highness the princess is an honored guest of my Jiang Yan. Lord Ai's rude words are truly detrimental to the style of our country." Gu Cheng stood up at the right moment to pay his respects, "I hope that Your Majesty will investigate everything regarding the poison and not let anyone cover your eyes."
With that, Gu Cheng glanced at the Officer surnamed Ai with even more interest.
With just a glance, he had already pushed the matter of the poison to the Ai family.
General Ai Yan was the pillar of support for Jiang Yan. Since the beginning of her career, his achievements had already shaken the world. And since Prince Jiang Yan hadn't even established the crown prince, it was almost impossible for him to poison the emperor in such a hasty manner.
Furthermore, Gu Cheng had not fully returned two years ago. If that was the case, then this villain would have long been made clear to everyone.
After a moment of silence, Gu Mingyan saw that Officer Ai was about to speak again, but she only sneered: "This Master Gu seems to suspect you."
The officer surnamed Ai frowned slightly as he was stared at by Gu Liuyan.
"However, your majesty, please be careful. There are many court officials in the imperial court who would call for the arrest of a thief more than a dog biting a dog." Gu Danyan respectfully spoke to the Emperor: "Compared to finding out who poisoned him, if it's not the case, then please think carefully about how we should resolve this mess and stabilize ourselves."
With that said, all the smart people present naturally no longer doubted her identity.
Although Gu Cheng was shocked, he knew in his heart that Gu Danyan's words were extremely accurate.
The meaning of his words was that he wanted to use this matter to rope in the cooperation between the Emperor and Erdan. Rather than believing in his own minister, he might as well believe in the power in his hands.
He was truly standing in front of Princess Eldan.
"What Your Highness said doesn't make sense." Gu Cheng quickly turned around and bowed respectfully.
"Besides, I know one thing." Gu Danyan lightly smiled and looked at Gu Cheng, "Isn't the consort of the Crown Prince, Su Yuwan, the illegitimate daughter of Lord Gu? I've come here this time to seek justice for myself, and I hope that your majesty can make the decision. "
The flower pear is dead, what does Su Yuwan have to do with the flower pear?
Gu Cheng was slightly stunned, but the emperor had already believed in this bold princess with just a few words. With regards to the time Gu Cheng had spent in Navy Tide, he naturally had his suspicions, but now he could only firmly hold on to the armrest with his eyes narrowed, "There's actually such a thing?"
"Of course." Gu Danyan's eyes were shining as she looked at the emperor: "Although I dare not say that this Lord Gu is rebellious, but that Su Yu Wan is indeed a threat to my position. If the emperor and Lord Gu can help me reverse my status, then we can cooperate better in the future."
At this point, the several ministers could no longer see the situation clearly.
Initially, this princess had spoken up for Gu Cheng. But now, she had reversed the situation and directly targeted the emperor, offending both Gu Cheng and the Ai family from the very start. It was truly baffling.
Gu Cheng also didn't understand Gu Danyan's words, but now that the Emperor believed in Gu Liuyan, he could only ponder for a moment before saying in a low voice, "If what Your Highness said is correct, then Su Yuwan is my daughter Hua Li. Back then, I had left her at the Jing King Manor to investigate the military situation.
"So it seems that your youngest daughter is trying to go back on her word and wants to win over Er Dan for her husband, Duan Chengxuan." Gu Liuyan went down at the same time.
"Of course I don't know, but at Navy Tide that year, I could vouch for Your Highness' identity." Gu Cheng hurriedly said.
As he said this, Gu Liuyan's goal had been achieved.
In any case, at the very least, Gu Cheng had voluntarily carried the blame for Su Yuwan.
She then looked at the official surnamed Ai beside her. "Your majesty, this person is purposefully making things difficult for the others. He even spoke rudely to this princess. I wonder if Your Majesty can uphold justice for me?"
"Naturally." The emperor waved his hand and looked at him coldly. "Demoted to a commoner as a commoner, 40 beatings. Are you satisfied with the princess' performance? "
"Of course I'm satisfied, but now that Su Yu Wan wants to borrow my identity to take over the throne, she actually wants to rope Navy Tide in. Just in case, and while I still have some strength left, she is willing to send a thousand war horses over to the Emperor to express her feelings." Gu Danyan bowed in respect, as he exuded an imposing aura.
The corners of the emperor's mouth curled up slightly as he agreed.
The banquet this time around was filled with fear and trepidation. When it was over, Gu Danyan was still sent back into the courtyard by Gu Cheng. Only then did Gu Cheng's heart drop back to his stomach, "Why is the matter with Su Yuwan related to me?"
"I already have a grudge with Su Yu Wan, and now that she wants my position, I naturally can't do it. I'll call her your unfilial daughter to prove my identity, and secondly, prove that I don't have any rights, and thirdly … I'll need you to torture her for me in the future. "
Gu Danyan was smiling, but his tone was stern.
"Do you know which antidote to use?" Gu Cheng rubbed his forehead, feeling that Gu Liuyan was just settling some personal matters on official matters.
Gu Ming wrote down the prescription. "But more or less, if you really want to cure the poison, you'll need some modifications from the imperial physicians."
"That's good." Gu Cheng kept the prescription, finally feeling at ease.
No matter what, this battle had given the Emperor a wake-up call. Furthermore, as long as he thought about it carefully, this poison definitely wasn't from Gu Cheng. The Emperor would only suspect that it was Ai Yan, while Gu Cheng, who still had a daughter in Navy Tide, wouldn't completely believe him.
Everything was fine.
When she got out of the carriage and returned to the mansion, she said, "I will only give Lai Xuan those thousand war horses. Furthermore, I will need to go back myself. Otherwise, they will not let me go."
"You sure have faith in Lai Xuan." Gu Cheng found it strange.
"He was born a slave, he wouldn't bring these warhorses to oppress the slaves." Gu Danyan said softly and walked straight to his yard.
Gu Cheng watched his from afar, saying in a low voice, "A woman's benevolence … he's still a woman's woman after all."
However, when the door was closed, the pity in Gu Danyan's eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving only coldness. He could not help but rub his temples gently: "I really always do the most annoying thing."
"It's just a banquet."
"Indeed, it's only a banquet." Gu Danyan smiled coldly and passed the antidote to her as she passed by: "Take good care of Mu Qing, I still need him as my witness in the future."
Ai Qi strangely swallowed the antidote. He felt his whole body relax, but a chill crept up his spine. "This woman is really scary."
Gu Liuyan didn't know anything about their evaluation, he just carefully counted the days.
What she feared the most was that Duan Chengxuan would really lead people to attack, and every word of what happened today had a purpose. Those thousand war horses might be able to turn the tables on Lai Xuan in the future, and they might also be able to be used by Gu Sheng.
In the end, she wasn't sure if Duan Chengxuan would really send out troops for a woman.
Gu Liuyan felt a splitting headache coming on. It had been a long time since he had applied medicine on his legs, and he had come all the way here, but now he felt even worse.
How long would such days of suspicion last?
