The little girl hides her secrets

Gu Yuefei has the ability of photographic memory. He clearly remembered that the drawer was not so tightly stitched when he came last time, but was opened a little.

He knelt down and gently opened the drawer, and what was in it was Chuan Guo Yuxi.

The emperor had been recuperating in his bedroom for many days, and it was normal for the Emperor to bring the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom with him, but he didn't know if the Jade Seal had been touched by anyone.

Suspicious, Gu Yuefei secretly sent someone to watch at Duanyang Palace where Concubine Duan lived.

Concubine Duan only lay in the bedroom for a short time, then secretly put something in her bosom, and came out of Duanyang Palace with a miserable look.

She pretended to miss the emperor, and asked the eunuchs to accompany her into the emperor's bedroom again. After entering the old emperor's room, she asked the two eunuchs to guard the door, while she took out the things in her arms and wanted to put them under the pillow.

Unexpectedly, all of this was under Gu Yuefei's surveillance. He pushed open the door, and was so frightened that the things in Concubine Duan's hands slipped and fell to the ground and unfolded slowly.

Gu Yuefei stepped forward and suddenly discovered that this was an imperial decree. The content of the imperial decree was to make the third prince Chen Xianzhong the crown prince, and it had already been stamped with a big red seal.

Combined with the traces of the drawer being passive, Gu Yuefei already had a guess.

He picked up the imperial decree and said fraudulently: "Miss Duanfei, forging the imperial decree is a death penalty."

Concubine Duan was already panicked by his sudden appearance. Hearing what he said, she was even more flustered and said: "What evidence do you have? This is stamped by the emperor, so why forge an imperial decree?"

After that, she was going to grab the imperial decree in Gu Yuefei's hand, as if she was afraid that Gu Yuefei would see any flaws.

Gu Yuefei followed her and snatched it away, and said calmly: "I have already discovered that you have touched the Chuanguo Yuxi, and now it is reasonable to suspect that the empress killed the emperor in order to let the third highness ascend the throne. If the empress wants to remove the suspicion, please tell the truth, otherwise Both you and the Third Highness will be taken into the dungeon."

His tone was calm, with an undeniable killing air, which was the confidence and power given to the Gu family by the emperor.

When Concubine Duan heard that her son would be imprisoned, she was so frightened that she bit her lips and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the third prince, I will say it."

Gu Yuefei nodded and said: "This imperial decree has not caused any consequences. As long as the concubine Duan tells the truth, I will not tell the matter."

Concubine Duan sighed and said: "I understand the emperor's character, he is cautious and suspicious, I am afraid that he will not be crowned heir before he dies, but his health is getting worse and worse, and this palace has evil intentions, and quietly handed down the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. Steal it and forge the imperial decree."

"My original intention was to hide the imperial decree in a hidden place in the emperor's bedroom, so that no one can find it. In this way, when he dies in the future, I can pretend to be the first person to discover the imperial decree and push the third prince to the throne."

"Unexpectedly, the emperor passed away before the imperial decree was brought. It is always a hidden danger to leave a fake imperial decree in the palace, so I decided to take the opportunity to put it under the pillow. I did not expect to be discovered by Mr. Gu."

Gu Yuefei squinted his eyes and questioned: "Is it true that Duanfei didn't do anything to the emperor?"

Concubine Duan's breath was stagnant, and she broke the jar and said: "I will never do anything to the emperor, because I know that the emperor will not live long."

"Why did you say that?" Gu Yuefei asked.

Concubine Duan gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor has an ulterior habit, and he likes to torture others in that matter, because there are countless people who died in the palace. I overheard the imperial doctor saying that the emperor indulged too much, and his body couldn't sustain it." How long has it been, so I bribed them to use a great tonic medicine. This way the emperor looks better, but his lifespan is burning rapidly, which is why this palace said that he will not be the crown prince before he dies."

Because the emperor would not know that he died so quickly.

Concubine Duan was in a bad mood and spoke very fast, but Gu Yuefei listened to her word for word.

Gu Yuefei's face was gloomy when he heard it, and he quickly went to the Imperial Hospital to verify the matter, and found that what Concubine Duan said was true.

Concubine Duan followed Gu Yuefei all the way. Seeing Gu Yuefei's attitude, she knew that she had eliminated the suspicion, and she no longer pretended to mourn the death of the emperor.

She tidied her hair by her ears, and said with a little sarcasm: "In and outside the palace, there are many people who want the emperor to die, Mr. Gu must investigate carefully."

Gu Yuefei frowned, feeling a bit disgusted with the emperor in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

He returned to the main hall again, just in time for Niu Xiguang to come back, but he got nothing.

Niu Xiguang said disheartenedly: "Master Gu, I have checked all the pharmacies in the imperial capital, and there is no unreasonable circulation of arsenic in the past six months."

As he spoke, he handed a notebook to Gu Yuefei, which recorded in detail the buyers, sellers and uses of arsenic.

Because of strict control, the content of medicinal arsenic is very small, not enough to be fatal.Moreover, arsenic is controlled layer by layer, and can only be bought in other small cities with permission in the imperial capital, which means that the source of arsenic has become a mystery.

Gu Yuefei looked gloomy and cold, he handed the notebook to Niu Xiguang, and gave an astonishing order.

He said coldly: "Search, everyone who is here today, search all their houses."

When the second prince heard this, he suddenly became furious. He rushed forward and said, "Why do you, a subject, search my mansion?"

Gu Yuefei said angrily: "No reason, it's just that the emperor died, and it is my duty to find the murderer. Please do not stop the second highness, so as not to arouse suspicion. After this incident, I will let the second highness handle it."

As soon as he said this, the others were not easy to provoke, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

It wasn't until midnight that Gu Yuefei came back in a hurry. He finally allowed the guests to leave, leaving only a few people in the palace.

These people were the objects of Gu Yuefei's suspicion, but after all, he was unable to arrest these people into the dungeon due to his status, but served them with delicious food and drink.

These people included the fifth son book and Yun Yao and Yu An who pretended to be servants.

When he was assigned a wing room, Yun Yao, who had stood for a day, collapsed on the bed, rubbing his slightly sore feet.

Yu An looked outside thoughtfully and said, "I shouldn't hide the fact that the second prince and I switched identities."

"It's okay." Yun Yao calmly said: "This matter has nothing to do with us, as long as nothing happens. That Gu Yanwei looks quite reliable, and I don't think there is a big problem."

After Yun Yao said this, she suddenly froze. She hurriedly got up from the bed and said nervously: "I'll go to the next door and ask."

After the words fell, she had rushed out of the room and disappeared in an instant.

And the next door is the room where the fifth son book is.

As soon as Yunyao entered, he saw Fifth Zishu sitting on a stool, assembling villains with wooden chips, looking calm and relaxed.

She asked nervously, "You didn't do it, did you?"

"No." Fifth Son Shu looked at her and said, "Why did you say that?"
