Uncle, don't overdo it

"He's just an old man who can't do much, and I sent him to spend his old age peacefully." Gu Qingcheng said calmly.He didn't say that Yu Xicheng had escaped like the rumors, and there were some things that he couldn't hide from King Xuan.

"It doesn't work? You still want to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to fish for oil and water." Ximen Jingxuan said.

"Didn't you get nothing?" Gu Qingcheng smiled.

"He is indispensable for the fire in the cold palace." Ximen Jingxuan turned up the old score.

"Perhaps he didn't find anything at that time, he just went to deal with Concubine Jiang's injury." Gu Qingcheng said.

"Are you defending him?" Ximen Jingxuan's voice did not fluctuate, but there was a strong sense of severe accusation.

That day, no one knew that Ximen Yin had been to Lenggong, but the news that Jiang Ziyin was injured and went to the old eunuch was not airtight. The people of Ximen Jingxuan learned that Jiang Ziyin had an accident at night, so they followed the old eunuch to Lenggong, it turned out that there was a layer of special powder on the ground of Lenggong that could not be discovered.

After the old eunuch took care of Jiang Ziyin's injury, he walked out of the house and paused on the way to the gate of the palace.Scanning the place, he clearly noticed something strange, and this was also what Ximen Jingxuan's people reported to him later.

However, the old eunuch pretended not to see anything and left the cold palace.

After that, the cold palace caught fire.

Because that layer of powder is specially treated phosphorous powder, although it increases the ignition point, it is still easy to burn after the sun shines at dawn. Since it is mixed with the scorching sun oil of Yuehua Kingdom, it is difficult to deal with it once it catches fire.

If Yu Xicheng had said one more word at that time, the situation would have been different. Although the cold palace would catch fire, the people in the cold palace would not have to be burned to death.

As a result, Yu Xicheng harbored a ulterior motive and said nothing, trying in vain to let Concubine Jiang die in a sea of ​​flames.On the bright side, he healed Jiang Ziyin, but secretly, he wanted to put Jiang Ziyin to death.

From that time on, Ximen Jingxuan had his eye on Yu Xicheng, and with Ximen Jingxuan's reminder, it was easy for Gu Qingcheng to find his target.

"If he had talked too much at that time, it would be meaningless if the cold palace caught fire, and the third prince's plan would be postponed again. The prince would have to find another opportunity, and the matter would not end now. This kind of matter related to the safety of the court, or The sooner it is dealt with, the better." Gu Qingcheng said.

Just because no one "discovered" the abnormality of Leng Gong, the next thing happened naturally.

Even if Ximen Jingxuan had been prepared, he could only secretly rescue the people in the cold palace ahead of time. Concubine Jiang's death in the fire had to happen, and there was no such person as Jiang Ziyin in the palace from now on.

"This king doesn't want to argue with you." Ximen Jingxuan said, he knew that Gu Qingcheng would leave an explanation for everything he did, and he didn't have the leisure to argue endlessly around an old matter, "Take Yu Xicheng's All confessions are handed over to the king."

"So, Miss Lin has already told the prince all the facts, and there is no need for me to say anything more." Gu Qingcheng said.

"You really care about her." Ximen Jingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He no longer had that kind of feeling for Lin Xiner, but he could understand the attitude of other men towards Lin Xiner.It was because of Lin Xiner that Gu Qingcheng went to investigate the matter of the drug girl, and because of Lin Xiner, he went to investigate Xia's house, and because of Lin Xiner, he cut two paragraphs from Xi Cheng's confession.

Now, why did he let Yu Xicheng go?

Ximen Jingxuan seemed to disapprove of Gu Qingcheng's attitude, and did not intend to get his response. He walked to the wall and stared at a painting hanging on the wall.

"This is written by Old Master Gu himself." Ximen Jingxuan's eyes fell on the dark red seal.

"Exactly." Gu Qingcheng said.

"Old Master Gu had a good relationship with King Xiao back then. After King Xiao's accident, he left the capital and no longer cared about the court affairs. Otherwise, with Old Master Gu's ability, he must be a pillar of the imperial court." Ximen Jingxuan recounted a past event in a flat manner.

He was not born when that incident happened, but he seemed to have experienced it himself, which was very clear.

King Xuan's statement of the past so clearly moved Gu Qingcheng's heart. Standing behind him, he raised his eyes to look at the tall and straight figure with his hands behind his back.

"Because there is no King Xiao, Mr. Gu has no one to rely on, right?" Ximen Jingxuan suddenly turned around and met Gu Qingcheng's eyes.

"Grandpa said that the world shouldn't be ruled by the lineage of the former emperor. They can't afford this world." Gu Qingcheng fearlessly repeated the words of Old Master Gu, "But in the opinion of my humble minister, things are already like this, so we should work for them." , Those who should display their ambitions must also display their effectiveness."

This is why the old man Gu left the capital, and Gu Qingcheng won a place in the court by his own strength.

"You stepped into the imperial court to become an official because you followed the old master Gu's last wish to find out the truth about King Xiao. The members of the Gu family never believed that King Xiao died because he lost his love overnight and fell off a cliff overnight." Ximen Jingxuan road.

Not to mention the Gu family, when he saw the dossier from that year, he didn't believe it either, but the matter had nothing to do with him, he didn't want to waste energy, what is indispensable in the palace is to confuse the truth. When people succeed, the truth will be buried from generation to generation.

As for Xiao Wang's matter, although it has been so many years, but with the care of the Gu family, it will not be buried for a long time.

"Yes, grandpa never believed it, neither did my minister, and the prince certainly wouldn't believe it either." Gu Qingcheng said.

"This king was investigated by someone who overestimated Xicheng. Before he came to work in the prime minister's mansion, his qualifications were too mediocre. This is extremely inconsistent with his later performance. He is deliberately covering up his background." Ximen Jingxuan said, his eyes flickered. Paying attention to Gu Qingcheng, "He is the same as your Gu family. He doesn't believe the facts back then. He is one of Xiao Wang's subordinates. It's just that he has a different attitude from your Gu family. You want to find out the truth, but he only has one." Purpose, revenge."

"My lord is really smart." Gu Qingcheng praised unabashedly.King Xuan's attention was too subtle, and he was able to detect heresy from the grievances and entanglements of Concubine Lin's family in Xiangfu.He thought that this matter would be over after Yu Xicheng explained clearly the matter between Concubine Ru and the Lin family of Prime Minister's House.

He still looked down on King Xuan.

Grandpa didn't want to die back then, he thought that the Ximen family would decline under the hands of the former emperor, and the Qingyuan Dynasty would not last long, but it's a pity that a group of elders vowed to fight to the death.If grandpa saw that the first emperor had a fifth prince who was comparable to King Xiao, would he be pleased and live a few more years?

"It was you who deliberately let Yu Xicheng and the king conceal half of the confession to give me some points. If you want Yu Xicheng to listen to you, you must have the conditions to be able to hold him, which makes the king have to pay more attention to him. "Ximen Jingxuan said.
