In Xiao Shoufu's view, this sentence is a naked threat.

Xiao Shoufu tightly squeezed his hands hidden in his sleeves, only to feel that there were wolves in front of him and tigers in back, and he tried to put on a calm and calm look on his face, with mixed emotions in his heart:

He thought that this matter was a sure thing, that he would be able to save the Feng family, and maybe he could use the situation to keep the Yu family.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince took a slanted sword and used such a move, which was tantamount to allowing himself to overthrow all their doubts about Feng He's assassination just now.

If the eldest prince was on their side today, he would also applaud the other party, but the other party stood on the opposite side of their family.

The eldest prince's scheming is really creepy.

Xiao Shoufu's eyes were uncertain.

"Master Xiao?" Chu Yi called again urgently, picked up another sunspot from the chess box, and played with it between his fingers.

Xiao Shoufu felt the corner of his eye blur again, and a silver light pierced into his right eye. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jiang Lun, who was stroking his cuff with a smile.

Xiao Shoufu had no doubt that as long as Chu Yi gave an order, the servant named Jiang Lun would rush towards him like a mad dog again.

And this time, can he survive by chance? !

Is it worth it for mere Feng family and Yu family?

The black jade-like sunspot was turning between Chu Yi's slender fingers. Suddenly, his finger slipped, and the sunspot was about to slip...

Xiao Shoufu's heart jumped suddenly, the pain in his neck became more intense, and he blurted out: "Your Highness is right."

When these five words are exported, the rest of the words suddenly become much simpler.

Xiao Shoufu took a deep breath, and continued in a stiff tone: "Gu Qianhu is loyal to the Lord, and he must have discovered Feng He's inappropriate behavior before he acted as an escort."

Both Feng She and Feng Sanye's expressions changed drastically.

Chu Yi smiled lightly, neither saying yes nor no, the sunspot was still playing with it between his fingers.

The hairs on the back of Xiao Shoufu's neck stood on end, and he could only say it again in an affirmative tone: "Feng He assassinated His Highness for disloyalty, and Gu Yuan deserved credit for saving him."

Pity! Mu Sheng sighed inwardly with some disappointment.

But it was just a sigh, he looked thoughtfully at Chu Yi by the window, and faintly saw a glimmer of hope.

During the reign of the first emperor, the family was used heavily, and every chief assistant appointed by the first emperor was a son of the family.

Today, I have the intention to promote the children of poor families, but unfortunately I am weak, and my temper is too lenient, so my intentions are powerless.

On the contrary, this young eldest prince, judging from his words and deeds today, is obviously not that kind of incompetent person.

Maybe, I can earn this merit of being a dragon.

Only by allowing the aristocratic family to vacate the position they occupy can he go to the next level.

Mu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly calmed down, and said nonchalantly, "That's right."

"This matter couldn't be simpler. At that time, there were so many people in Chengtianmen to testify."

When he said this, those Qingliu censors nodded again and again, thinking that it was true.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, seeing is believing, how could the First Prince slander Feng He.

That is to say, these aristocratic families joined together, and for the sake of the Feng family's reputation, they insisted on pouring dirty water on Gu Yuan.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian were stunned, their minds went blank.

Since even Xiao Shoufu admitted that it was Feng He who assassinated the eldest prince, Mrs. Gu's confession of crimes has become a big joke.

In fact, Gu Yuan was also a little confused.

His sister told him not to talk or argue, so he would not talk or argue, but how did things get to this point?

He was kneeling all the time, with his head half down, his expression well concealed.

Seeing in the eyes of those Qingliu censors around him, he only felt that Gu Yuan was extremely calm and decisive at such a young age, and this time he could bear the burden of humiliation.

The emperor patted the parrot, and the parrot yelled heartlessly: "It's a meritorious service! It's a meritorious service!"

The loud voice of the parrot spread throughout the water pavilion, piercing Xiao Shoufu's heart like needles.

The emperor silently decided to give the parrot extra food later, laughed loudly, and praised: "Gu Yuan, you have meritorious escort, get up."

This was the first time that the emperor called Gu Yuan's name in public instead of Gu Qianhu, which meant that the name Gu Yuan entered the emperor's eyes, even if he was not promoted, it would be different from then on.

This point, Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu also naturally understood, the faces of the mother and son became a little dark.

The patriarch showed joy and pride on his face.

The people in the water pavilion were divided into two halves, half of them were happy, and the other half were sad.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, clasped his fists at the emperor neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes were as firm as iron.

Remembering what his sister said before going out, he didn't get up in a hurry, but turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Gu who was kneeling by his side.

The young man's resolute eyes suddenly changed.

There was admiration and sadness in this glance.

For Gu Yuan, there is no need to pretend, it can be shown naturally.

Before knowing the truth about the "substitute", Gu Yuan's feelings towards Mrs. Gu were indeed so contradictory, and he was just expressing his past feelings at this moment.

Naturally, the other people around saw it too, and felt a little sympathy for Gu Yuan, especially Patriarch Gu.

Gu Yuan has done a great job in rescuing him. Mrs. Gu, as a grandmother, should have stood by him when he was questioned, supported him, and even refuted those doubters with him, but Mrs. Gu chose to stab her grandson in the back. Gu Yuan was almost trapped in a place of infidelity and injustice.

Almost destroyed Gu Yuan.

Where is this grandmother, she is an enemy!

"..." Mrs. Gu's heart sank, her old look could not be concealed on her graceful face.

She had knelt for too long, her knees were numb as if they didn't belong to her, cold sweat dripped from the corners of her forehead, she knew that she had completely lost this move.

She opened her lips slightly, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Feng She and Feng Sanye, with a last glimmer of hope, but saw that the brothers of the Feng family had knelt down at some point.

The Feng family, it's over.

The hope in her heart was completely extinguished, she pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Gu Jian also felt the condemning gazes cast on Mrs. Gu and herself. She was anxious and looked at Mrs. Tai expectantly, hoping that she could do something more.

However, Mrs. Gu remained motionless, as if she was a body whose soul had been taken away, she was dumbstruck.

Gu Yuan stood up from the ground in a slow manner, his gestures were vigorous and agile, like a young leopard, in stark contrast to the decadent Mrs. Gu's mother and son.

The emperor's eyes lightly passed over Gu Yuan, and finally settled on Mrs. Gu, and said to the eunuch, "Zhao Rang, what was written on the note that Mrs. Gu just handed over?"

While speaking, the emperor casually picked up a white piece from the chess box, and slowly placed it on the chessboard.

He finally figured out how to play this move, um, this move went well.

The emperor twisted his beard in satisfaction, and looked at Chu Yi on the opposite side of the chessboard with a smile.

Chu Yi was holding a blue and white porcelain teacup, and took a sip gently.

He just sat there drinking tea, and he had an elegant demeanor like the breeze and the moon.

Zhao Rang, who was at the side, respectfully accepted the order, and quickly took out Mrs. Gu's confession.

Gu Jian's heart skipped a beat, her body stiffened like ice for an instant, wishing she could fly over and snatch the zhezi back from Zhao Rang's hand.

But he couldn't do anything, he could only listen to Zhao Rang recite the scripture slowly with his heart skipping a beat.

In fact, Gu Jian helped Mrs. Gu draw up this notebook, and it was just handwritten by Mrs. Gu. He knew every word in the notebook by heart.

But at this moment, the book he personally drafted was like a knife stabbing his heart, and the knife was still stabbing in and out repeatedly in his heart, trembling all over his body.

Time seemed to be infinitely slowed down, and Gu Jian felt extremely tormented.

The emperor and Chu Yi played chess on their own, and after three or four moves, the emperor was stumped again, frowning in thought.

Mrs. Gu's excerpt is not long, even though Zhao Rang habitually draws a long tone, he finished reading it very quickly.

The water pavilion was quiet for a while, the emperor raised his head from the chessboard after a long time, looked back and forth between Gu Yuan and Mrs. Gu, and said with some displeasure in doubt: "Gu Yuan has done a great job in saving the car, why is Mrs. Gu so confusing? "

Zhao Rang closed the booklet lightly, coughed dryly, seemed embarrassed and hesitant, and said: "Your Majesty, I just heard Mrs. Gu Tai say that the first Marquis Gu Ce was not born by her. The concubine of the old marquis."

Zhao Rang's voice happened to be heard clearly by everyone present.

Most of the people were startled, and all of them looked at Mrs. Gu with surprise and doubt.

This is a major event related to the title of the Marquis Mansion.

The emperor's face also changed, and he casually threw a chess piece between his fingers back into the chess box, and slightly raised his voice: "There is such a thing?!" These four words could hardly hide his displeasure.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian's mother and son were startled suddenly, especially Mrs. Gu, whose brow folds were so deep that they could almost pinch mosquitoes to death, and realized that this matter seemed not very good.

The emperor stroked his beard, looked at Gu Yuan who was standing quietly next to him again, and looked him up and down, seemingly thoughtful.

After a while, the emperor shook his head and sighed meaningfully: "No wonder..."
