Lu Shiyan didn't panic and just nodded in agreement. Just as the emperor was about to reprimand Lu Shiyan, Wan Yueshi, who was sitting next to him, stood up.
Gu Shufei, who had been following the two silently, was about to say something, but was shocked by Wan Yueshi's next words.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, but this matter has nothing to do with the Third Prince."
She really didn't expect Wan Yueshi to speak for Lu Shiyan. It's not like he didn't know that Lu Shiyan didn't like him very much, and he even had murderous intentions towards him.
Could it be that something happened between the two of them in the dense forest?
And none of them noticed the raised corners of Dai Yingyue's mouth sitting above her.
My good brother, just go ahead and plead for him. The more you plead for him, the more the emperor will doubt him.
But no one could guess the emperor's thoughts. He actually turned around and asked Dai Yingyue: "Yue Concubine Lord Miaojiang is your brother. What do you think about this matter?"
Gu Shufei was suddenly called upon by the emperor. It was funny to look at Dai Yingyue's surprised expression, as if he was a poor student who was called upon by the teacher in class.
Dai Yingyue stood up with a stiff face and saluted the emperor. After thinking for a long time, she replied: "Brother will not deceive Your Majesty. I don't know much about the Third Prince and I dare not make any comments."
"Don't dare to evaluate? It doesn't matter. I'm here today. I want to see what he will do to you if he evaluates you?"
The emperor angrily overturned a pile of books on the desk.
Dai Yingyue then spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get angry."
"Concubine, I just think this fact is a bit of a coincidence. But I am not saying that the third prince is the real culprit in this case. What's more, my brother will never dare to deceive His Majesty in any way."
Upon hearing Dai Yingyue's obvious white lotus tea talk, Gu Shufei couldn't help but sneer.
Upon hearing Gu Shufei's sneer, Dai Yingyue's expression immediately changed, "You, what do you mean?"
Gu Shufei naturally stood up when questioned: "Since the empress has asked, I will tell you my opinion."
Regardless of whether you asked or not, I just want to say it now, without vomiting.
"Nv Chen also thinks this is a coincidence. Why do all the obvious clues point to the Third Prince? Not long ago, the Holy Spirit issued a decree saying that the prince was to be selected. How long has it passed? The Third Prince is so impatient. Are you ignoring the love between father and son?"
Gu Shufei paused and then said: "Not to mention that the Holy Lord is now in good health and has a long life, but in the eyes of the empress, the third prince is such a dull and impulsive person. Under such circumstances, Dare to take action?"
Gu Shufei looked at Dai Yingyue sarcastically. White lotus, right? Shameless, right? Let's see who is more shameless. I will pierce this layer of window paper directly for you to see how you put it on.
When Dai Yingyue heard these words, his face turned blue and white. Suddenly he covered his face with a handkerchief and spoke to the Holy One in a faint voice: "Your Majesty, she, she..."
He looked like he was crying.
Gu Shufei's words made Emperor Renzong so excited that he even forgot that these words were directed at his concubine.
It wasn't until Dai Yingyue's crying voice sounded in his ears that he softened his heart again, "Okay, don't cry. How do you want to look in front of this junior?"
"Gu Shufei, you are indeed going a little too far."
Just as he was about to say something like punishing Gu Shufei, the queen opened the tent curtain and walked in with a smile.
"A group of people are so lively, what are they talking about?"
The queen heard Gu Shufei's angry words against Yue Concubine outside, which really touched her heart. Therefore, he looked at Gu Shufei with a bit of tenderness.
"Okay, okay, what are you guys doing here? You can go down first."
The queen sent everyone back as if to make matters worse. The emperor saw this and did not stop him.
Dai Yingyue originally thought that good things were about to come true, but she never thought that the queen suddenly came over and interrupted the emperor's punishment that was about to be spoken. She gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Shufei.
Gu Shufei smiled and mocked.
As a demo, who can't beat anyone? Isn’t it the tea talk of White Lotus? Let's see how I can show off my tricks.
After discussing for a long time in the camp, the emperor and empress ordered General Liu and others to set off back to Beijing.
So the question of whether the third prince committed an assassination was left unanswered.
At least that's how it seemed on the surface. As for the emperor's thoughts, no one knew.
After leaving the camp, Gu Shufei winked at Lu Shiyan, who also lowered his head in response. So the two left the Miao brothers and sisters.
"You must have encountered a wild beast just now. Are you okay?"
Gu Shufei raised her head, smiled warmly and tried lightly.
Lu Shiyan just shook his head and replied calmly: "Thank you for your concern. It's nothing serious."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has ordered us to leave for the capital immediately."
The bookboy next to Lu Shiyan hurried over when he saw him passing by and informed him of the incident. Gu Shufei could hear clearly from the side.
After hearing the report, Lu Shiyan turned to look at Gu Shufei and said, "In that case, let's see you back in Beijing."
"Um."
Gu Shufei nodded in agreement, but the vague suspicion in her heart just didn't dispel.
When everyone got on the carriage back to Beijing, Gu Shufei became more and more confused as she thought about it in the carriage. She simply called the maid to jump off the carriage and rode away in the direction of Lu Shiyan's carriage.
"Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Gu family is here."
Lu Shiyan, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned and quickly signaled the people around him to retreat behind the carriage and hide.
"Please come in."
After receiving Lu Shiyan's definite invitation, Gu Shufei didn't hesitate and simply got on Lu Shiyan's carriage.
The clear-viewing appearance of the carriage is somewhat similar to him, as clean and cool.
"I just thought about it, and I think I should explain something clearly to you."
Gu Shufei looked at Lu Shiyan with bright eyes.
Lu Shiyan felt his face heat up for a moment, and subconsciously looked away to avoid Gu Shufei's burning gaze.
"Say." He poured a cup of tea and motioned for him to continue.
The moment Gu Shufei got on the carriage, she actually smelled the faint smell of blood, but she wasn't sure. I immediately made up my mind to check it out for myself.
Firstly, it was to confirm whether his idea was correct, and secondly, if the Third Prince was really Yanshi, he would never ignore his injury.
She recalled for a moment that when Yanshi rescued her, her clothes were stained with blood. If nothing unexpected happened to that location, it should be on Yanshi's chest and abdomen.
Gu Shufei picked up the tea cup, and just then the carriage swayed. Gu Shufei's hand steadily poured the tea on Lu Shiyan's coat.
She immediately became anxious and couldn't wait to go forward and fumble around. What she caught was when Lu Shiyan didn't react.
