After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 45 The Third Prince's Mansion
Gu Hengyu understood the embarrassment of the emperor, and had thought of a countermeasure for this matter early in the morning, "Your majesty, if Pan Zeyuan is promoted to the post of minister of rites, the officials at Dali Temple have also prepared two candidates for the emperor."

The emperor's hesitation now is because Xiao Dingshan will be moved, another position will be vacated in the court, and he has not yet thought of a successor.

"Since you've thought everything through early in the morning, why didn't you tell me directly?" The emperor looked at Gu Hengyu in front of him, Gu Hengyu obviously had already thought about the things that made him worry.

"If the emperor knew who the minister recommended, maybe he would understand why the minister didn't say it directly." Gu Hengyu replied.

"Oh? Tell me?" The emperor sat on it, and after hearing this, he became interested in the person recommended by Gu Hengyu, and asked while drinking tea.

Gu Hengyu did not hesitate. After hearing this, he met the emperor's gaze and said, "The people I want to recommend are Shen Yuzhi and myself."

The tea in the emperor's mouth hadn't been swallowed, and he almost couldn't hold back the spout, "What? You forget it, and you still bring Shen Yuzhi with you? Do you two use the court hall as a place to play?"

No one in the capital does not know that the relationship between Gu Hengyu and Shen Yu is very good. If it weren't for Shen Yuzhi's usual performance, everyone would still speculate behind their backs whether the two had a habit of breaking their sleeves. Don't take it as a joke.

"I didn't say it directly, that's what I'm afraid of." Gu Hengyu didn't retreat because of the emperor's overreaction, he knew that no matter how ridiculous the emperor thought it was now, there was no better choice than the two of them.

The emperor's expression became more and more dignified, and he was obviously aware of this.

The two of them, in terms of identities, one is the son of the Marquis Mansion and the other is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, no one dares to touch; in terms of talent, Gu Hengyu is unmatched in the capital, and Shen Yuzhi is not serious at ordinary times, but he has real skills in talent and learning.

There really is no better candidate than these two.

"Let me think about it again." The emperor said to Gu Hengyu. In addition to feeling a little ridiculous at this time, he also broke his previous plan. He originally wanted Gu Hengyu to enter the cabinet, but on the surface he became own people.

"Yes, the minister is resigning first." After hearing this, Gu Hengyu was not in a hurry to let the emperor make a decision, and resigned first.

Outside the palace, a figure sneaked into the Third Prince's Mansion.

"What? You mean that Gu Hengyu has evidence left by Sun Shilang?" Yan Yichen couldn't sit still in his seat, and paced back and forth in the room after hearing this.

The maid who came out of the palace lowered her head and said respectfully: "Yes, the maidservant heard it clearly from outside."

Yan Yichen's eyes became dim, and he said to the maid, "Let him come and see me at night."

"Yes."

Seeing the figure of the maid disappearing into the third prince's mansion, Yan Yichen's whole heart was hanging, fidgeting restlessly, after thinking for a while, he sent a message to the guard beside him: "Bring that woman here."

The guard obeyed and walked out.

After a while, the guard dragged someone back, and the person in his hand was actually Aunt Lian.

Aunt Lian was originally used by Xiao Dingshan's private brothel to win over the court ministers, and was sent to Sun Shilang's residence, but they were all wrong, Sun Shilang is not not greedy for beauty, but has special hobbies.

"I heard that you helped Gu Hengyu and the others discover the darkroom of the Sun Mansion?" Yan Yichen asked, ever since Sun Shilang was exposed, Yan Yichen went to investigate, and found out Aunt Lian through the strange meowing that night body.

When Aunt Lian heard this, she remembered Sun Shilang's habit, and even forced Sun Siyan to do that thing in her room, and felt chills in her heart: "If you don't need my help, a person like Sun Shilang will have a terrible death!"

Yan Yichen saw that Aunt Lian hated Sun Shilang very much, and didn't want to entangle her too much about this matter, so he just asked, "Do you know what Sun Shilang left behind before he went to prison?"

Aunt Lian has been helping Sun Shilang conceal the truth for the past few years, but Sun Shilang didn't know that Aunt Lian was a member of the third prince's residence before entering Xiao Dingshan's private brothel.

"The third prince asked me? I stopped working for the mansion a few days ago." Aunt Lian said with an unclear expression.

Aunt Lian was a maid in the third prince's mansion at the beginning, and she also had admiration for Yan Yichen. Unexpectedly, Yan Yichen noticed herself among the maids and thought she was useful to him, so he sent her to the Xiao Dingshan's side.

Three years ago, Yan Yichen suddenly told her that she no longer needed to inquire about him in the brothel, and planned to let her go to Sun Shilang's side.

At first, Aunt Lian thought that as long as she helped Yan Yichen get the help of Sun Shilang in the court, Yan Yichen would take another look at her. She didn't expect that after going to Sun Shilang's side, what they did would defeat her again and again. conscience.

Finally, Sun Siyan's death defeated her last line of defense, and when she dreamed back at midnight, Aunt Lian always felt that she had hurt her.

When he recognized the identities of Xie Chen and the others that day, he led them to find the hidden room of Sun Shilang's Tibetans, and helped Gu Hengyu when he visited Sun's mansion at night.

Yan Yichen's patience was exhausted, and his attitude towards Aunt Lian was no longer the same as before. He squatted on the ground and lifted Aunt Lian's chin vigorously with his hands.

"Are you pretending to be noble here now? Did you help cover up which girl Sun Shilang killed?" Yan Yichen said viciously to Aunt Lian.

Seeing that the man in front of her was no longer the boy she was when she first met, Aunt Lian looked disappointed.

"So I figured it out." Aunt Lian said calmly.

Just when Yan Yichen was about to ask her what she had figured out, she heard movement at the gate of the mansion.

"It's not good, master, someone from the Ministry of Punishment has blocked the gate of the mansion!" The servant hurriedly ran to Yan Yichen and said.

Yan Yichen panicked, could it be that Sun Shilang's matter was discovered?
"Take this woman down quickly!" Yan Yichen said hastily.

It is not yet known what the Ministry of Criminal Justice intends to bring people here, but even if it is not because of Sun Shilang's affairs, no one can see that Aunt Lian is here.

After Yan Yichen watched Aunt Lian being taken away by the hidden guards beside him, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

After Yan Yichen went out, he saw Master Shen standing outside, giving orders to others.

"Third prince." Shen Shangshu saw Yan Yichen and saluted him.

"Master Shen? What is this?" Yan Yichen asked.

Naturally, Shen Shangshu would not say that it was his son Shen Yuzhi who found him, saying that important clues to the Sun Shilang case were in the third prince's residence, and even told him the location.

"I received a letter from a stranger, saying that there is an important witness in the case of Sun Shilang hidden in the third prince's residence." Shen Shangshu had already thought of the way to deal with it before he came.

Yan Yichen was startled, could it be possible that Sun Shilang knew that Aunt Lian was once his own when he was alive, and wrote this matter in the evidence in Gu Hengyu's hand in case of emergency?

Although he was guilty and afraid in his heart, he didn't show any face, he shook his hand and said, "How is it possible? I have never had a close relationship with Sun Shilang."

Now that there is no evidence, Shen Shangshu naturally cannot convict at will, and it is also because of his son's face that he brought someone to investigate this undetermined matter.

"This is natural. I just feel that this letter has touched your reputation, the third prince. I will have someone check it later. If it is something out of nothing, I can justify your name." Shen Shangshu said neither humble nor overbearing, revealing in his words Worried about Yan Yichen's reputation.
