The Gu family and the Lin family were searching closely for the perpetrators every day, and precious medicines from the palace were also flowing into the Gu family. Not only the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Crown Princess, but also Princess Xian and Concubine Yu also sent things.
Princess Yanling has been coming almost every day since she came here once. Master Meng also brought a century-old ginseng to visit her.
Lin Jinan came back from the academy every day, without even returning home, and went straight to the general's mansion. After seeing Lin Jinyan, he reluctantly went home with the Lin family.
Princess Yanling sat beside the bed in rare silence, gently holding Lin Jinyan's hand and frowning:
"Madam General, how long will Lin Jinyan be lying like this?"
Bai Yiran also looked gloomy: "Yan'er is young and deeply injured. It is already difficult to stabilize her injury. I can't say when she will wake up."
Before leaving, he ran into the two Gu Ruizhou brothers returning. Seeing their faces, he knew they had learned nothing.
Seeing Gu Yichen's face full of sadness, Princess Yanling bit her lips, called Gu Yichen aside, whispered a few words to him, and then returned to the palace with her entourage.
In the hall, Gu Qingyun frowned and said:
"Second Prince?"
Gu Yichen nodded: "The princess heard the Crown Princess talking about this matter with Princess Xiang. When Yan'er entered the palace two days before the assassination, he was chased by the little princess and hid in the side hall. She happened to encounter the second prince and the palace maid having an affair."
Bai Yiran: "Since the Crown Princess knows, the Queen must also know, so why don't you take care of it? Or are we all taking care of Yan'er, and we don't know that the Second Prince was punished?"
Gu Yichen: "Your Majesty doesn't know about this yet, and the second prince has not been punished. That day, your majesty went to the Queen's Palace for lunch. The queen accompanied your majesty and didn't know about it. When he found out, the second prince took the maid out of the palace and dealt with it. . After the Queen learned about it, she originally wanted to send Yan'er to the palace to inquire and find out and report to Your Majesty, but unexpectedly something happened to Yan'er..."
Gu Qingyun looked at Bai Yiran: "Has Yan'er ever told you about this?"
Bai Yiran shook his head: "I never said that, Qiu Rong, go and call Bai Zhi."
Qiu Rong, who was at the door, heard Bai Yiran's loud instructions and simply went down to find Bai Zhi.
Gu Hongzhang said with a gloomy face: "If this matter is true, then Yan'er is the only witness to this matter..."
Gu Ruizhou: Grandpa, do you suspect that Yan'er's injury was caused by the second prince? "
Gu Hongzhang: "The second prince has not been taken seriously before. This time, in order to defeat the Duke's Palace, Your Majesty supported him to the court and decentralized power. Recently, he has been fighting fiercely with the Duke's Palace, but it is because of Your Majesty's support that he has not lost. Queen. The empress comes from the Duke's palace, so if the empress gets caught, she will definitely not let him off lightly. To protect the saint's grace...he does have a motive."
Gu Ruizhou: "I accidentally learned a few days ago that Zhong Yi, who is with the second prince, sent people to follow Yan'er for a long time. Dad and I didn't know what the second prince was up to, so we arranged for Zhuang Mu to follow Yan'er."
Gu Hongzhang asked in confusion: "Since Zhuang Mu followed Yan'er, why didn't he show up to help Yan'er when he was assassinated?"
Gu Qingyun: "Father, a few days before Yan'er's accident, he talked about it when he came to the house. He said that the reason why the second prince sent people to follow him was because Yan'er had saved a pair of twin brothers, and it happened that those brothers had committed crimes against the country. In the palace, the second prince sent someone to follow him to find out about the brothers, and advised us to call Zhuang Mu back. I never thought..."
While talking, Bai Zhi knocked on the door and came in. After talking about the side hall, she said:
"The second prince told the young lady that if his affairs were known to others, it might implicate the Lin Mansion and the General's Mansion. The young lady was afraid of disturbing her close relatives, so she asked me not to say anything."
