Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 113

The carriage drove into the crowd, and Zhao Chunmin sat upright: "General Gu, I have something that I don't understand, I hope General Gu can answer my questions."

Gu Ruchen took out a teacup from the hidden compartment behind him and poured a cup for Zhao Chunmin: "My lord, if you have any questions, you'd better ask the emperor directly, I'm just following orders."

Zhao Chunmin laughed angrily, and tightened his hand holding the cup, hating Gu Ruchen's refusal to drink oil and salt.

Suddenly, I felt that Concubine Hui in the palace was a little hateful.

"Really? General Gu, I hope you can say such things calmly in the future!"

As if the water in the teacup was wine, Zhao Chunmin drank it angrily.

In the small carriage, there was a sudden silence, only the rustling sound of the wheels rolling on the stone slabs.

Straight into the palace from the Meridian Gate, when Zhao Chunmin stepped into the imperial study, the emperor was drinking a bowl of ginseng soup.

It's just that in the past it was usually served by Prince Wang Dexi, but now it's gone.

Beside the emperor was a person that Zhao Chunmin had never had and never paid attention to.

This made him beat a small drum in his heart.

"Your Majesty, since King Chun has arrived, I will take my leave first."

Gu Ruchen knelt on the ground, as if what was about to happen would not cause any disturbance to him.

"Gu Aiqing, don't be in a hurry to leave. You are the minister of the humerus, and there are still many things that you need to do in the future, so it's okay to stay and listen."

Gu Ruchen turned his head to look at the crane pattern on his official robe. In the auspicious clouds, the white crane was tall and handsome. His eyes moved up and fell on the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe. His heart tightened. Although he was reluctant, he could only Kowtow to say yes.

Standing on one side, Gu Ruchen tried his best to hide his figure. The emperor's current calmness was just brewing a bigger storm.

"Chunmin, today the list is released, do you know who is at the top of the list?"

The emperor stared at the empty bowl in his hand with a half-smile, feeling a little bored in his heart.

He ordered someone to kill Wang Dexi.

But in life, I am used to some of Wang Dexi's "presumptuous assertions."

Ugh!
If only Wang Dexi wasn't so smart.

The jade spoon in the glazed bowl made a crisp sound as he fiddled with it. In the past, Wang Dexi would have taken his used bowl down without a sound, unlike now.

"I don't know about the royal father. But the minister has not congratulated the royal father before selecting talents for the imperial court."

The emperor was born with a chuckle, but the smile in it was chillingly cold: "Really?"

"You congratulate me, but I haven't congratulated you yet, and I will add new members."

The pupils in Zhao Chunmin's eyes vibrated twice, and he raised his head: "Father, I don't know what you are going to say, there must be some misunderstanding."

The deliberately low voice seemed sincere and pious.

"yes?!"

The emperor turned his face instantly, and threw the glass bowl at Zhao Chunmin's feet, and the glass shards bounced off the ground, cutting one of his faces.

"Then tell me, why did Sun Juren go to your Chunwang Mansion instead of going to Shuiyun Tower once the ranking was announced?"

Zhao Chunmin was speechless for a moment.

He...he didn't know why Sun Juren came to visit him.

"Father, I really don't know why that Sun Juren wanted to find me, I beg you to find out!" Zhao Chunmin stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, pleading affectionately.

It's just that in a place where no one can see, the pure blackness in his eyes made his performance look extraordinarily fake.

He secretly made up his mind.

It must not be reduced to the point where no one ever knew.

Don't be like the second and sixth princes, who were imprisoned in the clan's mansion, and there would never be a day of recovery.

"Father, I really don't know, I am willing to confront Sun Juren face to face!"

"Confrontation?"

As if hearing an extremely ridiculous joke, the emperor kicked Zhao Chunmin away.

This son who was not blessed since birth, even if he died, he would not be able to move any compassion.

"Look, this is the confession of the person you want to confront."

The rice paper hit Zhao Chunmin's head and scattered in all directions. The emperor seemed to be still angry, and when he reached out to pick it up, he got up and crushed it fiercely on Zhao Chunmin's fingertips.

It would be fine if there were only two people in the imperial study room, but there was another person whom Zhao Chunmin hated extremely.

Gu Ruchen didn't hear what happened, but he didn't know that he was hated by Zhao Chunmin.

Picking up the rice paper and looking at it carefully, Zhao Chunmin became more and more startled.

Who the hell wants to kill him!

This is not what he did at all!
"Father..." Zhao Chunmin knelt and crawled to the emperor's feet, tears streaming down his face, "Father, even if you borrowed the courage of my son, my son would not dare to do such a thing like cholera, let alone cheating. Father, my son begs you to hand this matter over to my son for a thorough investigation, someone is framing me behind this."

The emperor took a step back in disgust, and looked at Zhao Chunmin who had no muscles and bones on the ground, like a bedbug, and felt great sadness in his heart.

It would be great if his second son and sixth son were not ruined by those courtiers!
As a prince, but this bone is actually cheaper than a slave!
"Sun Juren has already pleaded guilty and committed suicide. If you want to investigate thoroughly, then go down and investigate thoroughly! Someone, will..."

Zhao Chunmin rushed over, the desire to survive made him have no time to think, he just wanted to survive.

"Father, my son begged my father not to, my father, do you want to lose my son after losing my second brother and sixth brother?"

The power of this sentence is not insignificant.

But in the emperor's mind, how could Zhao Chunmin's status compare to his second and sixth sons.

But I have to admit that because of these words, the emperor was moved with compassion.

Not for anything else, but he transferred the guilt towards the second and sixth princes to Zhao Chunmin.

He hoped that the second and sixth princes could forgive him, so that the guilt in his heart would be less.

It's just that I look down on Zhao Chunmin even more, a lowly slave is a lowly slave, even if he becomes a prince, he is still that lowly slave!

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Gu Aiqing, put the eighth prince in prison. As for the case of cheating in the examination room, I will leave it to you to thoroughly investigate."

Gu Ruchen served as the background board for nearly an hour, and after hearing the emperor's arrangement, his expression remained the same as when he came, without any strangeness: "My minister complies with the order, and will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom."

Sending Zhao Chunmin to the dungeon with his own hands, Gu Ruchen slowly let out a breath of depression.

The emperor asked him to thoroughly investigate the case, but unfortunately, the instigator of all this was his own sister.

And he is not innocent, he is the driving force behind all this.

And the upper eyelids, amused in my heart, is this going to scratch myself?
But after that, what will my sister do?
Gu Ruchen thought a lot outside the prison, but after knowing Gu Liubai's intentions, she couldn't guess what she was going to do next?
Because in his opinion, Gu Liubai made a mistake from the moment of supporting the Eighth Prince to gain power.

He thought that Gu Liubai just wanted to take the back seat, but he didn't know that she had even greater ambitions.
