Chu You raised his head and drank the glass of wine in one gulp, then knocked the empty glass on the table heavily.

This time, it was the Yu family who proposed to use the eldest princess' illness to put pressure on the emperor.

But he didn't expect that the Yu family, which has always been peaceful all these years, still has selfish intentions behind his back, intending to use luck skills to gain luck for the Yu family for a hundred years!

Just borrow it, they are so stupid to be discovered.

Let the emperor catch the handle.

Chu You's face was sullen, and there seemed to be a wild animal screaming irritably in his eyes.

"Wow--"

A white and slender hand held the white porcelain flagon and poured wine for Chu You personally, and the pearl-like nails shone brightly against the white porcelain.

Chu You raised his eyes and met Gu Yunxie's warm smile: "Don't worry."

Gu Yunxie was wearing a bright red beige embroidered with white butterflies and flowers. The butterfly beads on her temples and the ruby ​​earrings on her earlobes swayed slightly, reflecting her delicate and flawless skin.

The girl's face is as bright as jade, her eyes are as clear as water, when she smiles, she is as dazzling as a pearl, and as delicate and charming as a lotus, she has an indescribable charm and charm.

Her smile, her voice, her presence... For Chu You, it has the power to soothe the soul.

Just looking at her like this, most of the hostility in Chu You's heart dissipated in an instant, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.

"The Yu family did not hesitate to sacrifice innocent children in order to gain luck for their own family. The prince didn't know about this matter, and the emperor can't rely on the prince for nothing."

Gu Yunxie also poured himself a glass of wine, and said in a soft voice, "Neither the courtiers nor the aristocratic family will respond."

Chu You held the glass in one hand, turned the glass around casually, and sighed inwardly: Xie'er is too naive.

How did she know that his brother, the emperor, was gentle and elegant on the surface, but in reality he was sinister, with twists and turns in his mind, and would do whatever it took to keep the throne!

That is to say, he has not let the emperor's brother catch him wrong all these years.

but……

Chu You stared affectionately and intently at Gu Yunxie's clear eyes, straight Qiong nose, plump cherry lips... His gaze became hot again.

It was her innocence that fascinated him and made him happy.

"My second dog has been found!"

Suddenly, a woman's sharp and excited voice sounded from the street outside the window.

Gu Yunxi subconsciously looked down at the street below through the open window, and saw a couple in their thirties happily pulling an old woman to talk: "I was so worried that I didn't sleep well all night, I thought The child will never be found."

"Fortunately, God... No, fortunately, the emperor blesses you!"

Among the couple, the woman in Tsing Yi clasped her hands together, tears welling up in her eyes.

Of course Chu You heard it too, his brows furrowed again, and a cold arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

Heh, his imperial brother is so insidious, I'm afraid he wants to use this opportunity to gain momentum and buy people's hearts!

It's true that the vision is shallow, but what kind of climate has become of a mere pariah!

Gu Yunxi looked down at the weeping couple on the side of the street, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, I'm wondering if the emperor is directing and acting on his own..."

"Um, I mean, the emperor is trying to lure people into a trap."

She slowed down significantly on the last four words.

It means that the so-called "borrowing luck technique" might mean that the emperor set up a scheme to frame Yu's family along the way.

"..." Chu You's complexion changed slightly, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and he put down the wine glass in his hand again.

He hadn't thought about this possibility.

Gu Yunxi continued in an orderly manner: "The eldest prince is the emperor's only son. He was impeached by the censor. It is impossible for the emperor to sit back and watch his heir's reputation be damaged."

"The matter has come to this point, there are nothing more than two things the emperor can do now, either turn black and white and block the mouths of many people, or divert trouble to the east."

"What happened on the eighth day of the first lunar month was that the eldest prince was unfilial and disobedient to the empress dowager first, and the emperor slandered the Yuan family in order to protect the eldest prince. There were so many eyes watching that day, no matter whether it was from the aristocratic family or the nobles, they were not blind. .”

"The emperor can't be a tyrant to block everyone's mouth. Then, all he can do is to divert the attention of the courtiers and the people with another thing, and win the hearts of the people for the eldest prince."

Chu You raised his wine glass again, drank with downcast eyes, frowning in thought.

The excited voice of the old woman came from the street outside the window: "Er Gouzi his mother, the emperor really loves the people like a son!"

"Yes. Your majesty is benevolent. It is a blessing for the common people to have such a wise king in my great sight!"

There were a few neighbors around who heard the sound, they gathered together, and praised the emperor vividly, and someone even mentioned Gu Yanfei: "And that second girl, Gu, is really a god!"

Chu You's eyebrows frowned even tighter, his forehead seemed to be covered with a thick cloud, and his eyes were cold and stern.

Hearing the common people mentioned Gu Yanfei, Gu Yunxi pursed his lower lip, took a sip of his wine, and said again: "My lord, Gu Yanfei once said that she was taught by a veteran in Huaibei and learned some magic techniques..."

At that time, Gu Yanfei spoke casually, seeming to be true and false, she just thought that Gu Yanfei was talking nonsense again, playing some tricks to fool people, and didn't care.

But now all kinds of things convinced Gu Yunfei that Gu Yanfei did have some "opportunities" when he was in Huaibei.

Gu Yunxie took another sip of the wine, squeezed the glass slightly with her fingertips, the rippling wine was reflected in her eyes, adding a bit of coldness.

From the very beginning, Gu Yanfei was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger;

From the very beginning, Gu Yanfei came all the way from Huaibei to the capital for revenge, revenge on herself, revenge on Su Niang... She even planned to turn her anger on those who were kind to her, like Mrs. Gu, like Fang Mingfeng, like Kang Wang !

Things will develop to this point, in the final analysis, it is because I feel that I owe Gu Yanfei, and I forbear every step of the way, step by step retreat, it is my own carelessness.

It's too late to regret.

Gu Yunxie quickly adjusted his emotions, and when he looked at Chu You again, his expression was already calm, and his voice was never disturbed: "My lord, why don't you send someone to Huaibei to investigate, I don't know what kind of magic she learned there. blindfold."

Chu You glanced in the direction of Chengtianmen from afar, then quickly looked away, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiao'er, do you think those are just tricks?"

After all, Shangqing burned himself on fire in full view, and that blood gu was also drawn out from Anle's body under the eyes of so many people...

Gu Yunwei hooked her lips, revealing a pair of shallow dimples, and her intoxicating smile attracted Chu You's gaze to her face infatuatedly.

Gu Yunxie dipped his fingertips in some wine, and slowly wrote the character "Dragon" on the table, with gentle and graceful handwriting.

The fingertip of the index finger paused for a moment at the final finishing point, and the pupils like water scissors were extraordinarily bright.

Chu You stared at the word "dragon" and narrowed his sharp eyes.

"The common people are too easy to be incited." Gu Yunxie sighed slightly, with a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, her thick and curled eyelashes trembled, and she said calmly: "In order to win the favor of the First Prince, Gu Yanfei has also worked hard with good intentions."

She was about to wipe her hands when Chu You picked up the square handkerchief.

"I'll do it." Chu You carefully wiped Gu Yunxie's slender jade fingers that were soaked in wine, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was wiping a supreme treasure.

In the end, he gently kissed Gu Yunxie's fingertips, retreated like a butterfly playing with a flower, raised his head and said to her: "I will send someone to Huaibei later."

Even if Gu Yunlai didn't mention it, he still wanted to check on Gu Yanfei.

Ever since Gu Yanfei returned to the capital, neither Xie'er nor he has been going well.

Gu Yunxie could feel how much Chu You cherished her, her heart trembled, her eyes shone brightly, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Dengdengdeng..."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the private seat, approaching here.

Gu Yunxiu quickly withdrew her hand, her fingertips were still slightly hot.

A white-faced and beardless middle-aged man quickly walked into the private seat, walked up to Chu You without looking away, bowed and said, "My lord, the head of the Yu family has already confessed."

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the private seat dropped sharply, and the air condensed slightly.

Chu You's face changed in an instant, and the tenderness between his brows disappeared just now.

"Useless stuff!" He crumpled the square handkerchief in his hand, with a cold and gloomy glint in his eyes, "A patriarch of an aristocratic family is so spineless!"

Gu Yunxiu nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

I can't help but think of Yuan Zhening's inflexible style on the first eight days.

Compared with the Yuan family, the Yu family is really far behind. It is no wonder that the Yu family has gradually declined over the years, and is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Chu You's eyes, and then said, "It's Qin Heshen's Patriarch Yu."

Hearing the name "Qin He", Chu You's eyes turned cold again. This Qin He was promoted by the Queen Mother to get his current status, but he bit the Queen Mother back. It's really hateful.

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man bit the bullet and continued to say: "Shangqing and Patriarch Yu clung to each other, pushed each other..."

He said it rather implicitly, but to put it harshly, it was that these two people bit dogs.

Chu You's eyes were dark and gloomy, and his anger climbed to the extreme following the other party's statement.

The Yu family, it's over.

Although the Yu family is not as prosperous as it was in the previous dynasty, all the families are grouped together and are inextricably linked with each other. Once the Yu family falls, it is equivalent to prying open a hole in all the families, and the emperor can take advantage of the victory chase.

Moreover, the emperor's yin is yin in the public trial, and now he has won the hearts of the people.

With this move, the aristocratic family has already fallen behind.

Seeing the way Chu You frowned, Gu Yunxi felt a little distressed, and crossed the table with one hand and gently placed it on the back of his hand.

In order to weaken Kang Wang's support, he really "worked hard"!

Gu Yunxi frowned, and sighed: "It would be great if we could end the blizzard now..."

Chu You was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the blue sky outside the window, and couldn't help thinking: Yes. If only there was a blizzard.

The emperor was weak and sick, and couldn't bear the cold, wind and snow. Whether it was to suspend the in-person trial at this moment, or to hold on with weak physical strength, it was in his own interest.

Chu You sighed faintly, and was about to answer, when the next moment, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
