MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 68

However, what Concubine Yuan Gui didn't expect was that she waited for a while in the side hall of Qianming Palace, but she still didn't wait for the emperor to summon her.

Not to mention, inquiring about the reason why Gu Yun was arrested.

Seeing that another half an hour had passed, Concubine Yuan Gui waited a little impatiently, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually magnified. She was about to order Ming Tao to go to the front hall to ask questions, when she saw Eunuch Sun who was beside the emperor walking over quickly.

"Wan An, the imperial concubine."

Concubine Yuan Gui raised her hand towards him: "The emperor has something important to do today?" Otherwise, why hasn't she been summoned for so long?

Eunuch Sun naturally knew what Concubine Yuan Gui wanted to do when he came to see the Emperor, so he sold her as well, "Going back to Concubine Gui, the Emperor is dealing with important matters right now, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see you now..."

"Have you heard about the son-in-law?" Eunuch Sun lowered his voice, "The matter is about cooperating with the enemy and treason, the emperor has to be cautious, so he issued a secret order to investigate secretly, and did not publicize the matter."

"Relax, if the son-in-law is wronged, the emperor will take care of Princess Jianing..."

Having reached this point, Concubine Yuan Gui can only go back to the Changchun Palace first and make a long-term plan.

"Understood." She put her hand on Ming Tao's wrist and walked out of Qianming Hall, "Tell the emperor, I will come to visit him in a few days."

"Yes, I understand." Eunuch Sun watched Concubine Yuan Gui's guard of honor leave, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed.

"What are these things!"

…

In the hot afternoon, the cicadas chirped one after another, and the hot sun fell on the body, as if it had been ignited.

Jiang Libai stood at the gate of Changchun Palace and looked around, but she never saw her mother and concubine come back.

Chunxi took a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat rolling down her cheeks again, "Princess, don't worry, the imperial concubine has always been loved by the emperor, she will handle this matter for you."

"It's sweltering now, you should go inside and wait for her to come back. It's too hot outside, be careful of getting a heatstroke!" Ice cubes were placed around the corners of the hall, so the inside of the house was much cooler than outside.

Jiang Libai didn't listen to these words, all her mind was outside the door.

The sun was shining brightly, and when her patience was about to run out, the guard of honor of her mother and concubine finally appeared around the corner.

After waiting for so long, her father must have told her mother and concubine the whole story.

Jiang Libai raised her hand to cover her chest, which was jumping very fast, and walked down the steps in small steps.

However, what she didn't expect was that her mother and concubine didn't find out anything about this matter.

Back in the cool room, Concubine Yuan Gui didn't wait for Jiang Libai to worry, and said quietly: "Your father didn't see me."

"Why...why?!" Jiang Libai thought she had heard it wrong, "Father didn't see you?"

Concubine Yuan Gui sighed softly, and whispered what Eunuch Sun had said to her.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Libai understood.

Gu Yun was arrested because of arson, and it was even mixed into the crime of treason...

"Although your father is very generous to you and me, this matter involves other countries, and he doesn't want us to get involved." Concubine Yuan Gui touched Jiang Libai's head, her voice sounded extremely helpless: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so for In this matter, we'd better not embarrass your father on the surface."

Jiang Libai lowered her head, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It turned out that there were also things that her mother and concubine could not handle well for her.

It turns out that their family of three is not a family with only family affection.

But Jiang Libai also understands that her royal father and concubine mother spend very little time with Gu Yun, and they don't know her well, so it's normal to have doubts about her.

But she still had a hard time.

She sees people as family, but they don't trust each other.

This feeling is really... so helpless and hopeless.

"Mother Concubine, thank you." Finally, Jiang Libai rubbed her arms against Concubine Yuan Gui, coquettishly like before, "I know

Dao, you and the emperor probably don't know Gu Yun well, and don't know what kind of person she is. That's why I'm suspicious of her..."

"It's just my concubine. She used to be from Jin, but now she's just my...husband."

Concubine Yuan Gui was in a daze, she hadn't heard such a delicate and sad voice from her beloved daughter for a long time.

She raised her hand to stroke her hair, and comforted her softly: "Although I have only met Gu Yun a few times, I can barely see that she is a good young man who does not fight or snatch, and who is devoted to you."

"Don't worry, my concubine has taken care of this matter for you."

Hearing the concubine's evaluation of Gu Yun, Jiang Libai's depressed heart seemed to have leaked into a breeze, blowing away a little of her depression.

"Mother Concubine, thank you..." Smelling the fragrance of Mu Concubine's body, Jiang Li's eyes turned red. After all, her Mu Concubine still couldn't bear her sadness.

Concubine Yuan Gui pinched her little face and laughed uncontrollably: "You are a mother, why do you still like to act like a baby, be careful not to be seen by the stars crying like this!"

As soon as the mother and daughter joked, the tense and stagnant atmosphere just now was broken.

With Concubine Yuan Gui's words, Jiang Libai left the palace confidently.

Fortunately, the wooden paddle is fast, and has already heard the news, and is waiting for her in the mansion.

"What's going on?" Jiang Libai saw the wooden paddle in the study before she had time to take a sip of tea.

"Returning to the princess, the slave found out."

Mu Paddle didn't say a word of nonsense, and described the news he found out in detail.

Not many people know about this matter for the time being, and the wooden oar also heard about it through his younger brother who worked as a handyman in the Ministry of Punishment.

"...The son-in-law said that she went to the prison with Commander Fang last night to interrogate the Yun people they captured. Together, they also denied that Wucheng Bingmasi caught the person who set the fire..."

So now that Gu Yun can't clear up his suspicions, he can't be released.

Jiang Libai clenched her fists.

When Gu Yun whispered to her before, he mentioned that Fang Zhan seemed a little unreliable, but she wholeheartedly thought that Chen Yanghou was a royalist party, and would not be involved in the vortex of seizing the heir, so she would not cause anything A moth is here.

Therefore, he didn't take Gu Yun's words to heart...

Now it seems that there is more than just a problem with Fang Zhan, there is simply a huge problem!

He targeted Gu Yun so much, and he didn't know who was instigated by him!

"Where is the son-in-law locked up now?"

Generally involved in the enemy's country, probably will be secretly detained in other places.

Little is known about that place, but Jiang Libai still holds out hope for the wooden paddle.

But the wooden paddle shook his head: "Please forgive me, the princess, this... The slave didn't find out."

...just to be expected.

Jiang Libai waved to him: "You go down first, and pay close attention to this matter."

As soon as the person left, she couldn't suppress the irritability in her heart, and pinched the center of her brows to relieve the restlessness.

"Princess, don't be too sad. The son-in-law is only being imprisoned temporarily. Those people are concerned about you, so they probably won't use any punishment on the son-in-law..." Chunxi couldn't help, but could only comfort the seventh princess with all her heart.

"I hope that's the case." Jiang Libai's expression had already turned sleepy.

She could only use all the powers available in the mansion, and wrote a letter and sent it to her ancestral home...

She has done everything she can, and it depends on whether the final result will be as she wishes.

…

In the next few days, all the news about Gu Yun was like a bird whose wings had been broken off, without a single feather flying out.

When Jiang Libai became more and more anxious, Gu Yun who was under custody had been interrogated secretly several times.

Fortunately, she has the status of the son-in-law of the Seventh Princess, so those people did not torture her during the interrogation.

However, there are more and more evidences about her connection with the state of Jin and conspiring to destroy the people's livelihood business in the capital of the state of Yu.

many.

Because Fang Zhan denied being with her that night, she was charged with conspiring with Jin people that night by the Ministry of Punishment.

It was also at this time that Gu Yun fully understood what was going on.

According to the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they had tracked down the location of the arsonist that night, and when they were about to collect the net secretly, they didn't want to be discovered in advance.

They can only chase and intercept it.

After some fighting, only two Jin people were caught, and three escaped.

The Ministry of Punishment interrogated them all night, and one of them was unable to bear the torture, so they were all recruited in the end.

Not only their identities were recruited, but also the purpose of their arson, and even... Gu Yun who was in Yu Kingdom was also recruited.

But in the end the man was dead, so it seemed impossible to prove whether what he said was true or not.

And... whether Gu Yun was intentionally wronged or not, it is impossible to judge, and it is impossible to give a definite answer.

The Ministry of Punishment reported it to Emperor Yu, and the meaning he gave was very simple.

I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

After all, this matter concerns the country of Yu.

So he couldn't relax his vigilance towards Gu Yun because of Jianing's identity.

The days passed.

People from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple gradually lost their patience.

Gu Yun looked at those instruments of torture such as red-hot irons and long whips soaked in salt water, and she knew that she could not drag on any longer.

Probably because the place where she was detained was relatively remote, and the people in the criminal department were more at ease, so only three people were sent to interrogate her.

And when she was sent here, she had already checked with her mental strength, and there were only two waves of guards outside, with shifts changing every two hours.

And those guarding guards only patrol outside and never come in.

This gave Gu Yun a little hope.

"...To be honest, I know what you are waiting for." A man in Tsing Yi who participated in the interrogation walked to the stove, looked down at the red-burning iron, and said in a neutral tone: "Are you Waiting for the Seventh Princess to run around for you, begging the emperor, so that the emperor will let you go back like before, right?"

As soon as Gu Yun heard this, the mental power that was about to be released fell silent again.

Why does she feel that this person is going to reveal some other news?

"But don't think about it. Let me tell you the truth. The princess asked the concubine, and the concubine begged to see the emperor for you, but the emperor didn't see the concubine."

"You should understand what this means, right?" The man in Tsing Yi picked up the red-hot iron, walked slowly to Gu Yun's side, and smiled, "The emperor will not treat you just because you are the son-in-law of the Seventh Princess. Be more tolerant, so you should hurry up and sign and pledge, and you will not suffer from flesh and blood..."
