The fourth prince raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and then said calmly: "Although Guo Qian is an adopted son, he has always been humble and has a reputation for filial piety. How could Mr. Guo force his descendants to have no way out because of a little gossip?"
Gossip?
The fourth prince actually turned a blind eye to the human and material evidence.
This means he is determined to save Guo Qian.
Sweat broke out on Guo Qing's forehead.
It seems that the person Guo Qian is colluding with is undoubtedly the fourth prince.
Because of the Jiuchong Tower incident, the Guo family repeatedly dissuaded her. Did Guo Qinghui not know that this would offend Concubine Mu? However, he still did it, obviously not wanting to associate with the fourth prince.
But Guo Qian colluded with the fourth prince behind the Guo family's back, and blamed his adoptive father Guo Chongli for the ambush and assassination of Qin Zeng!
The fourth prince’s intentions are almost obvious!
He wants to use Guo Qian to rule the Guo family!
Not to mention Guo Qian's purpose is nothing more than glory and power.
Guo Qing took a deep breath. If he succeeded in getting the fourth prince to rescue Guo Qian today, then Guo Qian would be the fourth prince's pawn. Even if the Guo family wanted to move Guo Qian, they would have to think about it.
He said in a deep voice: "It was the incompetent teachings of the ministers who taught Guo Qian such a vicious descendant. I am really ashamed. If it weren't for Mr. Qin, our family would still be kept in the dark."
This is a refutation of the Fourth Prince's acceptance of Qin Zeng's affection!
When the fourth prince heard him speak like this, he completely ignored his hints and had no intention of settling the matter. The cold aura emanating from his body swept through everyone's bodies and minds, and the room was silent for a while, and you could hear a pin drop.
The corner of Guo Qian's mouth had already turned into a ferocious smile that was almost crazy.
The fourth prince will definitely save him! We can definitely save him!
Just when everyone thought that things were about to change because of the fourth prince, Guo Qing made a slight mistake in his steps and stood next to Qin Zeng.
There weren't many stupid people present, Guo Qing's move was really subtle!
The fourth prince's eyes immediately narrowed.
Guo Qing's steps were like taking root, and he stood firmly on Qin Zeng's side. He glanced at his second daughter-in-law, "Second daughter-in-law, Guo Qian is your adopted son, what do you think about this matter."
Second Madam Guo was shuddered, and immediately understood her father-in-law's intention, she gritted her teeth and emboldened herself to kneel down towards the Fourth Prince.
Everyone's breath was held momentarily.
Just listen to Mrs. Guo speak one word at a time, and say with incomparable clarity: "Guo Qian poisoned his adoptive mother first, and then killed her to silence her. Please, Your Highness, Fourth Highness, seek justice for my wife! Eliminate this rebellion from the Guo family!"
Except this rebellion!
What a pun!
The fourth prince's eyes narrowed slightly.
He thought that Guo Qing would retreat under his pressure, or ask Mingjun to deal with it, and then he would naturally have excuses to stop him.
But he didn't expect Mrs. Guo Er to ask him to administer justice?
If he dealt with it impartially, he would definitely lose Guo Qian's arm. He also wanted to use Guo Qian to keep the Guo family in his hands. But if he bends the law for personal gain and his father finds out about it later, I'm afraid his father will use it to his advantage...
The fourth prince lowered his head and saw Guo Qian prostrate on the ground, his eyebrows furrowed, and the young eunuch on the side quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Qin Zeng said calmly at this time, "Anyone who commits unjust acts will inevitably die. Guo Qian's legs are considered useless. If His Highness the Fourth Prince can help him this time, can he be supported for the rest of his life?"
The fourth prince's brows instantly furrowed, and he looked in surprise at Guo Qian, who had just been helped back to the couch. Are his legs useless?
When Guo Qian, who was lying on the couch, heard this, his eyes widened and he roared like crazy: "You're talking nonsense! My legs can still be cured! I'm not a cripple! Qin Zeng! You monster! I'm going to make you suffer." All the pain! I will eat your flesh and sleep on your skin, and cut your corpse into thousands of pieces..."
Qin Zeng ignored him and didn't even look back.
Chen Yan couldn't help it, and sarcastically said without mercy: "It seems that Second Young Master Guo is very skilled at cutting corpses into pieces!"
Guo Qian's eyes were about to burst.
Chen Yan sneered back.
The fourth prince looked at Guo Qian who was screaming like crazy, and his thoughts changed rapidly.
If Guo Qian is intact, even if he has been exposed, as long as he is around, the Guo family will be captured by him sooner or later.
However, since Guo Qian was disabled, the Guo family had enough reasons to let him "recuperate" at home, and even send him out of the Guo family to return to his hometown to "recuperate".
Then what's the use of keeping Guo Qian?
And Mrs. Guo let him make the decision one by one...
Second Madam Guo rested her forehead against the bluestone floor tiles, and she was so respectful that it was almost pious, making it impossible for the Fourth Prince to make any mistakes.
She said: "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, although Guo Qian is the child raised by my wife for more than ten years, he did such a heinous and treacherous thing in vain of Your Highness's appreciation. It is disloyal. He killed my wife regardless of family ties. It is unfilial. It is unkind to humiliate a servant just for the sake of one's own temporary anger. It is unjust to kill a wet nurse or even murder someone to cover up evil deeds! Such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people will never be tolerated by our Guo family!"
The fourth prince looked at Mrs. Guo who was clearly fearful but unflinching, and for a moment he didn't know how to decide. If he is really allowed to open his mouth to decide the case, no matter what he does, he will be offended.
Guo Qing was very satisfied with the performance of his second daughter-in-law.
The words she said were heart-breaking, forcing the fourth prince into a dead end. Guo Qian was an unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind person, but the fourth prince interceded for such a person. How could he use it to block others? Q? The imperial censors could drown him with their spit, and the emperor was a man of strict rules!
Guo Qing felt relieved, pretended to sigh, and said to the fourth prince: "I am incompetent, and I have no way to teach..."
The fourth prince had a bad start and looked at Qin Zeng with anger in his heart.
This Qin Zeng is really his nemesis!
Qin Zeng has been accompanying the prince since he was a boy and opposed him everywhere!
Now they treat the Mu family as enemies and dig deep into the ground to investigate!
They tried to get rid of Qin Zeng several times, but failed.
This time, I took advantage of Wei Laner's opportunity to assassinate Li Qingyi to ambush Qin Zeng, which was the closest to success, but in the end Qin Zeng still came back alive!
Qin Zeng ignored the fourth prince's anger and asked, "I wonder if the fourth prince has anything important to do when he comes to the Guo Mansion today?"
The fourth prince gritted his teeth, borrowed the donkey from the slope, and said, "I'm here to pass on my father's instructions."
When Guo Qian and Qin Zeng heard this, they knelt down first and waited for the fourth prince to deliver the emperor's instructions.
The Fourth Prince said: "The Emperor ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to cooperate with the Ministry of Works to supervise the construction of the Nine-Storied Building. It must be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
The Ministry of Industry needed a lot of money to build the Jiuzhonglou, which required allocations from the Ministry of Revenue. Guo Qing blocked it several times, resulting in the slow progress of the Jiuzhonglou. Not only was he really unwilling to allocate money to the Ministry of Industry to build the Jiuzhonglou, but he also wanted to show that Guo Qing naturally had no reason to hold his own attitude in the way because the emperor himself had given instructions for it. The emperor must have had a purpose in doing so.
"My lord, accept the order!"
Knowing that Guo Qian was no longer available, the fourth prince immediately slipped down the steps, "I have already delivered a message for my father, so I won't delay Mr. Guo from handling family affairs!"
Guo Qing felt relieved and got up in person to send off the plague god.
Watching the fourth prince leave, Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
When Guo Qian saw that the Fourth Prince was leaving, he was horrified, "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you have to make the decision for me! I was wronged! Your Highness, Fourth Highness!"
