Since the news that Gu Mo went to the fifth prince's mansion spread throughout Shengjing, the matter of Gu Mo's discord with the prince also reached the ears of the court officials up and down.In the court, the courtiers watched the fifth prince and Gu Mo discussing, but the fifth prince didn't care, but Gu Mo was used to it, and his cold face remained the same.

The prince went to court, saw the fifth prince and Gu Mo, and remembered what happened at the fifth prince's mansion a few days ago, and his heart became more and more angry, and he walked with great style, and no one gave him a good face.

The fifth prince also recalled the prince's deflated appearance, and winked at Gu Mo, very proud.

"The ministers have an audience—"

Everyone fell silent for an instant.

I saw the father-in-law supporting the emperor and coming out from the back curtain, and the courtiers below saluted one after another.

The emperor looked weak and pale, and underneath were the worried faces of the hypocritical officials.When he saw Gu Mo, he remembered that Gu Mo had broken up with Gu Mo in the court a few days ago, and he felt depressed, so he couldn't help coughing twice.

"I heard that the crown prince went to the fifth prince's mansion yesterday."

As soon as the words fell, the prince was afraid that the fifth prince would complain first, so he hurriedly spoke out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister heard that the fifth younger brother was worried about the health of the emperor and was in a bad mood, so he went to see the fifth younger brother."

"Really? Then as the emperor's brother, you really set a good example. How about the fifth prince?"

How could the emperor not know the secret thoughts of the princes, but he always doted on the prince.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the subject is fine, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke into the subject's mansion with many servants yesterday, and also asserted that the subject and Duke Ding's son were for..."

Saying that, the fifth prince glanced at the prince, hesitating.

"But it doesn't matter."

The emperor was exhausted.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince said that the minister and His Highness the Fifth Prince were drinking and having fun in the mansion, but yesterday His Highness the Fifth Prince offered the tea that His Majesty gave to the Fifth Prince to the Prince to taste. It can be seen that the Fifth Prince did not have any doubts about His Highness the Crown Prince, and he also treated him warmly. , but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince firmly believes that the Fifth Prince is unfilial..."

Gu Mo took the fifth prince's words and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, they framed me!"

The prince waved his hand, and the attendant at the side quickly handed over the booklet in his hand.

"I'm afraid that the fifth younger brother and Duke Ding's son know that today I will report on the two of them colluding with each other, so they want to accuse me."

"How is this going?"

While speaking, the emperor looked at the notebook in his hand.In an instant, the emperor threw the fold out, and his breathing became a little short again.

The father-in-law understood, and immediately picked up the booklet and handed it to the bewildered fifth prince.

"Your Majesty allocated funds to the fifth younger brother last year to do relief work for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, but the fifth younger brother was injured within a few days, resulting in ineffective follow-up disaster relief. In some places, the royal family was charged with death. But your majesty did not blame the fifth younger brother. What, it's just that I didn't expect that the fifth younger brother hid the allocated funds here, and I'm afraid even the injury..."

"Enough! But is there really such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, it is not my style to convict someone with just a few words on a bamboo slip. When I was injured, I was afraid that Your Majesty would be worried, so I didn't tell you that someone was behind the scenes."

After the fifth prince finished speaking, he glanced at the prince, who stiffened.

"Also, all the funds I received were taken away by bandits on the way. Prime Minister Cao can also testify to this point. In the follow-up disaster relief, I also took out my own supplies. Your majesty can go to the prince Take a look in the mansion. The treasures of Mingyu collected by the minister's mansion were traded with the crown prince at the beginning, and the disaster relief subsidy was taken. It's just that the flood became more and more serious. What happened later was that the minister was incompetent in disaster relief, and the minister was willing to accept the punishment. But being framed will never be tolerated."

At this time, Gu Mo motioned to his attendants, and handed over the relevant evidence back then to the emperor.

The emperor knows that the fifth prince loves tea and tinkering with some Mingyu treasures, so he should not dare to lie.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Say."

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince was murdered in Jiangnan, I've been asked to help with the investigation, and all the evidence has been presented."

Afraid that things related to him would be revealed, the prince couldn't help shaking his hands, looked at the emperor with extreme anxiety, and stared at the fifth prince and Gu Mo viciously in the blink of an eye.

"Wu Shilang, Liu Shangshu! The evidence is solid, you can be convicted!"

"Your Majesty is aware!"

Wu Shilang and Liu Shangshu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, sometimes looking up at the prince.But the crown prince couldn't protect himself, so he didn't give him a look.

"According to what I heard, Wu Shilang and Liu Shangshu have always been under the prince's command...Yesterday, they also went to the prince's mansion."

"Your Majesty, please be careful, Your Majesty, don't listen to rumors! The two of them came to the minister's mansion yesterday just to visit, and the minister didn't know that Wu Shilang and Liu Shangshu would do such a thing. It's really ridiculous!"

"Come here! Drag Wu Shilang and Liu Shangshu down!"

These words were almost squeezed between the teeth, the prince was afraid that more things would be involved in his investigation, and he was a little anxious.

"Since Wu Shilang and Liu Shangshu have nothing to do with His Royal Highness, what about Wen Taibao and Governor Sun? Can His Highness deny it?"

Gu Mo made a cold and stern voice again, pressing forward step by step.

The forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the prince's eyes wandered.He couldn't refute what Gu Mo asked. After all, the emperor personally asked him to take the Taibao with him, and the governor was also trained by himself.

"My minister also has evidence of corruption and bribery related to Wen Taibao and Governor Sun."

Gu Mo asked the attendant to pass it up to the emperor.

"Ridiculous! Wen Taibao, you really let me down!"

"cough--"

As he spoke, the emperor coughed again.

"Drag the two of them out!"

"The minister was wronged! Your Majesty..."

Seeing that the guards really stepped forward to support him, Wen Taibao realized that he had no backing, so he began to shout indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

But the emperor still looked at him coldly, without any reaction.

"It's the crown prince talking about Taifu...uh..."

Wen Taibao seemed to have a lot of things to say, but the emperor signaled that he was weak and did not want to listen to sophistry, so the guards blocked Wen Taibao's mouth.

Extremely sensitive, Gu Mo was sure that what Wen Taibao just said was Taifu, that is, the position of Taifu who has not yet been succeeded, the prince Taifu—Jiang Taifu.

"Master?"

He deliberately asked, turned his head sideways, and observed every move of the emperor and the crown prince.

Suddenly, the emperor felt a hint of sinister flashing in his eyes, and saw that the prince became more flustered, and he became more certain about his guess.Gu Mo had heard rumors that the death of the Taifu was a bit strange before, but when the Taifu passed away, it was true that he had been in poor health and no one could see the clues, so he took the rumors as a picture book.But now, the more he thought about it, the more a chill appeared in his heart.

The emperor was furious. He did not expect that Gu Mo could collect so many criminal evidences against the prince in the court today. He couldn't help but feel a little worried about the Duke and Duchess's affairs...
