When Ge Yin first heard this, he was so panicked that he almost threw away the teapot in his hand. When pouring tea for Ging Guo, he looked at Ging Guo frequently. Ge Yin always felt that Ging Guo had some tricks up his sleeve, so he calmed down even though he felt uneasy. , but the time passed slowly, but she didn't see the person reading on the couch moving at all, let alone what she was giving instructions to the secret guard. The uneasiness that had been suppressed surged up again at this time.
But before Ge Yin had time to say anything, he suddenly heard news coming from outside.
"The fourth princess's personal sachet contains poison! The entire princess's residence was taken away by Dali Temple. I heard that some slaves have been beaten to death! But no one knows where this sachet came from. Now the emperor The doctor has gone to the hospital, but the fourth princess shows no sign of waking up!"
Ge Yin was stunned listening to the maid's whisper.
The princess obviously asked her to poison the tea cup, so why was there poison in the sachet?
But Ge Yin is not a meddlesome person. Even if he is confused, he will not take the initiative to ask anything. He just confirms that this matter cannot be traced to Bai Guo and feels relieved. However, Ge Yin has not said anything else. On the other hand, Xiao Qianzi announced Baiguo's entry into the palace with the decree from the palace. Ge Yin's heart that had just been relieved was lifted.
Gingguo calmly went to bathe and change clothes, and then entered the palace.
The royal study was not as solemn as before, and the floor was bustling with people kneeling on the floor, including Zhou Su, Zhou Wenbin, Prince Gong, the consort of the fourth princess, and the personal maid.
Bai Guo stared at the door for a moment, and then walked in after listening to the consort inside kowtow to beg for mercy.
"I haven't asked you yet." Xuan Xian didn't immediately look at Bai Guo who was saluting, and his cold voice blocked out all the cries of the consort.
The prince-in-law didn't dare to make any mistakes and held back the cry that was about to come out.
Xuanxian then dealt with the matters at the dinner.
"Zhou Wenbin."
Zhou Wenbin, whose name was called at this time, trembled for a moment, and then heard the superior continue to say: "You were the cause of last night's incident, why don't you say anything now?"
After a night of calming down, Zhou Wenbin still dared to continue to accuse Prince Gong of being the mastermind, "Wei Chen... I'm ashamed! I made such a big fuss at the Emperor's birthday banquet while drunk, Wei Chen deserves death!"
Xuanxian sneered, "You deserve to die."
Zhou Wenbin broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that yesterday he was talking about Princess Kangle and Prince Gong's slapstick birthday party, which Xuan Xian had remembered. At this time, with Bai Guo in front of him, how could he have the intention to say anything else? What, I just wish I could disappear without being dragged into this topic.
"Wei Chen knows that his behavior yesterday has made the emperor furious, so Wei Chen will pack his things and return to his hometown today!" Zhou Wenbin knew very well which was more important, his life or his official position.
"Ai Qing, is this your thoughtful answer?"
When Zhou Wenbin heard that the emperor had relented, he quickly responded: "Yes! Wei Chen has considered it..."
"Then go and pack your things, dear."
Zhou Wenbin was overjoyed, but he had just stepped out of the imperial study room. The sword of the imperial guard followed closely, and blood spurted out in just an instant!
The sword being unsheathed and surrounded by blood made the fourth princess's consort and personal maid shudder violently, but Prince Gong had a sneer on his lips.
Important ministers and officials need to be punished to kill each other at different positions to prevent others from following Han Xin. That is, this idiot dares to play his little tricks in front of the emperor at this time.
"Why is Prince Gong laughing?" Xuan Xian's immediate question made Prince Gong's smile freeze on his face. The next moment, he kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I have never ordered him! My father trusted me once!"
Xuan Xian looked at her with a lukewarm look and said, "Go ahead."
Prince Gong bowed and strode away, enjoying a smooth journey.
But behind him, the two pairs of eyes of Bai Guo and Xuan Xian stared at each other for a long time.
The fourth princess's consort shuddered violently when he saw that the people who had wrongly accused Bai Guo and Prince Gong were both dead, and that the blame for this incident was being blamed on the corpses outside. Then he looked at the silence outside where the corpses were being collected, not even a trace of He didn't even scream in surprise, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't kneel down.
A big living person is gone like this, but the people here can be so peaceful!
"Let him go to the side hall and wait for a while. Kang Le wants to ask him something." Seeing that the emperor's eyes were on the last person, Bai Guo said aloud.
"Yes." Xuan Xian responded without emotion, and Su Qing, who had been shrinking back, bent around Xuan Xian and led Zhou Su out.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Wei Chen did not do this! Wei Chen... Wei Chen has not returned to the princess's house for a long time!" Seeing Xuan Xian staring at the cold sweat on his consort's forehead, he kowtowed with trembling eyes. Take care of yourself.
The two maids kneeling behind him could not take a step slower, kowtowing and begging for mercy at the same time, "I don't know, the emperor's servants really don't know."
"This purse has been with the fourth princess for more than a month. I don't know when it appeared. I was slapped in the mouth when I asked about it before. How can I dare to ask again? Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Bai Guo spoke up at the right time, "Kang Le also asked about the fourth princess the last time he saw it. The fourth princess really didn't say anything at that time. It seemed like it was a gift from an important person."
Important people.
How could a princess have someone important to give her something like this on the roadside? Who can make a princess of a country cherish a mortal thing so much?
Xuanxian looked at the consort who was kneeling on the ground, "I haven't been back to the princess's house for a long time? Where are you?"
The prince-in-law's legs trembled, "Weichen...Weichen..."
"Check!" Xuan Xian's angry words made the consort completely collapse to the ground, as if he had seen that he was not far from Zhou Wenbin.
Bai Guo glanced at the three of them quietly, and when he was lowering his eyes, he heard the superior ask: "What do you smell?"
Bai Guo had been with Xuan Xian for several years in his previous life, and Xuan Xian was too aware of one of Bai Guo's actions.
"...The smells on the three of them...are the same." Bai Guo said without raising his eyes, "None of them are from the Fourth Princess."
There was a loud bang!
Just as Su Qing came in with her neck scrunched up, she saw that the imperial table was cracked. She immediately jumped out and took a few steps back. Just when she was about to think that she was smart, she heard someone yelling, "Su Qing!"
Su Qing screamed in her heart and walked cautiously into the imperial study, "I'm here!"
"Drag me out for a fight! When did you tell me to bring him back to me!"
Xuan Xian's anger was not fake, otherwise Su Qing would not dare to stay outside. Hearing this, he dared not delay. With a look, he asked the imperial guards to come in and drag the three people on the ground away. Seeing this The three of them wanted to beg for mercy, but the imperial guards covered their mouths and noses and took them out.
The room became quiet. Xuan Xian smashed everything around him, but the area where Bai Guo stood was still as clean as the beginning.
Bai Guo saw Xuan Xian letting the palace maid outside to make tea first, and then he exited the imperial study and went to the side hall.
Zhou Su was waiting when he saw Bai Guo come in and salute politely, "The common people have met Princess Kangle."
Bai Guo nodded, sat on a chair nearby and looked calmly at Zhou Su who didn't get up. After a moment, he looked up and asked, "What do you want?"
"The common people don't want anything." Zhou Su maintained his salute without moving.
"Don't come to Beijing for anything." Bai Guo raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Zhou Su being so cautious, "Get up."
Zhou Su then stood up straight, but he did not dare to look directly at Bai Guo, but he answered without missing a word, "The common people came to the capital to confirm whether the person at that time was Princess Kangle."
"Oh?" Bai Guo asked, "What then?"
"Once the grassroots have been confirmed, it's time to go back." Zhou Su said sincerely, without any hint of guilt.
"You came to Kyoto just to see me for confirmation?" Bai Guo chuckled, trying to say that she was not a fool.
Zhou Su nodded seriously, "Yes, the village chief said, you must know who the savior was, so that you can tell the story to your descendants and let them remember it."
Bai Guo suppressed his smile, "A savior? I don't dare to take it."
Zhou Su saluted but did not accept these words.
"Why do you think you can go back? The corpse of the other person who made a scene at the Emperor's birthday banquet should be buried in the capital."
There was no emotion in Bai Guo's words, but Zhou Su's answer was full of childishness, "The other person who made a scene at the Emperor's birthday party is gone alive. The common people always have a chance of survival."
Bai Guo was about to say something when he heard Zhou Su continue: "Besides, the lives of the common people should have been lost that day. Even if the common people stay in the palace today, they will not have any complaints."
"Then people in the village don't know who their savior is." Bai Guo raised an eyebrow and asked.
"If the grassroots don't go back, they will know."
If the person he saw was not Princess Kangle, then the person pretending to be Gingguo might be a Shaguo or someone who surrendered to the enemy. Once they were rewarded with less money, it would be a big deal for people like them who were digging in the soil. Returning home in glory.
Not going back means that the person she saw was Princess Kangle. Princess Kangle did not allow the person she poisoned to leave Kyoto safely.
"Are you restricting me?" Ging Guo chuckled and shook his head.
Zhou Su Chenchen replied: "The common people want Princess Kangle to believe that the common people have no other thoughts."
The emperor was angry and executed the consort, so naturally the consort and others would not be taken to other places. At this time, the screams of the execution were loud, but Zhou Su's expression did not change even amidst these screams.
Bai Guoxi stared at Zhou Su and frowned slowly, "Aren't you afraid?"
"The people trust the princess." Zhou Su answered seriously and honestly, which made Gingo feel dazed for a moment.
If Bai Guo didn't pick up immediately, he wouldn't be noticed by Zhou Su. He still maintained his previous appearance, but it was this appearance that made Bai Guo even more stunned.
It really seems like...
The things inside those eyes are... very similar.
"Princess Kangle?"
Zhou Su noticed the strangeness of Ging Guo. He asked suspiciously and looked at Ging Guo. At this moment, Ging Guo's whole body froze.
"Princess, General Chi Zhong has arrived." The little eunuch outside the door reported in a low voice. Bai Guo turned around and saw Pang Yang standing there upright, with his clothes smooth and his face calm. He didn't know how long he had been watching.
Bai Guo subconsciously looked at Zhou Su again. Zhou Su, who was saluting, didn't notice anything. His expression was calm and composed, but it was just that casual...
"Miss Third." Pang Yang spoke, and Bai Guo suddenly woke up. Pang Yang moved his eyes back from Zhou Su and saluted Bai Guo.
"I...get up, Brother Pang Yang." Bai Guo looked at Pang Yang, trying to find some differences, but it was this mentality that made her look at Zhou Su frequently.
