Chapter 405 What can and cannot be done
"Grandma, you are also very satisfied with Gu Yun, right?"

"If Gu Yun can vote for us and lead his power to help your uncle enter the East Palace, then I will be 1 satisfied with him."

"If Gu Yun wants to fall to uncle, he has to have our people by his side. Who else does grandma think is the most suitable besides me?"

"Yes, yes, you are the most suitable." Concubine Zhao Xian hugged the child she loved since she was a child, "But you are not a clan girl, your marriage should be directly decided by your parents, and the saints cannot bypass them and give you a marriage directly, as long as you show it a little If there is a sign, many people will oppose it, and grandma and I will also be reprimanded by the saint. What's more, Duke Ye's mansion is the direct supporters, they are the queen's circle of influence, and the queen is there to block it. Easy, if you want to marry him, you have to do something first."

"Grandma, please tell me."

"You took that eagle from Gu Yun last year, and you used it as an excuse to get in touch with him. You two got closer and told him to like you more than you liked him, so you could persuade him to take the initiative to ask for a marriage. , This is the key, otherwise you can only watch him being arranged by the family to marry someone else. You are a girl, and your youth is limited, and you can’t afford it. Prepare for the next spring, and we will buy you a dowry during this period, and we must marry you in style."

"Grandmother~~~" Shi Tianqi threw himself into the elder's arms again, but remembered one more thing, "It would be a pity if Bai Kou got rid of before giving the marriage, she is really an excellent housekeeper. "

"Hmph, Bai Kou is just one person who can do several things. She is capable, but she can't do without her. The Bai family is the emperor Taizu's generation of heroes, hereditary royal chefs, and direct supporters, okay? It's easy to get rid of them, but we can't let this Bai Kou have a chance to arouse the saint's nostalgia, once the amnesty is granted and they return to the capital, they will complain about their grievances."

"Didn't you say that there are no witnesses or evidence? Are you afraid they will call for injustice?"

"Isn't the current head chef, Wang Xiaodong, the biggest witness? He has done so many things to replace him, but he is capable. Now the entire imperial kitchen is under my control. Before your uncle enters the East Palace, he cannot fail. "

"Well, since Wang Xiaodong still needs it, then according to what grandma said, get rid of Bai Kou."

"Don't worry, take it easy. Ye Junting's big mouth has spread the truth of the story. If something happens to Bai Kou right after, no matter how much it looks like robbery and murder, it will still make the world think that the emperor's grandson was attacked. The higher-ups think that they will all say that it must be the mastermind behind the scenes to retaliate against the murder, and we can't give people an excuse to use it. If someone persuades the sage to pardon their Bai family, then our work will not be in vain."

"Okay then, let her live a few more months."

Concubine Zhao Xian patted her granddaughter's hand lovingly, led her up and went outside for a walk, and asked her to have lunch with her, and then told her to go back and invite her mother into the palace to discuss the details of the plan.

In the evening, the Grand Master and Gu Yun arrived home one after another, and learned from the housekeeper that the truth of the story of the attack on the emperor's grandson had been spread in the capital. There were discussions in Tianshuifang in the afternoon, and Bai Kou faced the enemy head-on. Two adult men, I am afraid that tomorrow the government will come to question the case.

The great master's joy of being promoted to be the fifth-rank doctor of the company was immediately overwhelmed by this news, and he hurried back to Jicheng Hall to discuss the matter with his wife.

Gu Yun called Bai Kou directly to the study and asked her what she thought.

"I don't have any opinion. People come here as soon as they come. After all, they are two lives. Their duty is to cooperate with the maid." Bai Kou stood in front of the table, looking calmly at the prince sitting behind the table.

"It doesn't matter if you cooperate with the investigation. It's nothing more than a new confession. After filing, the case will be closed. But from now on, the whole capital will know that you, Bai Kou, are ruthless and ruthless. It's hard to reverse this reputation."

"As the steward of Duke Ye's mansion, a weak-tempered person would not be able to handle such an errand. Besides, a servant girl is an official maidservant, and any good or bad deeds will be blamed on the master."

"Hey! You really don't take it seriously!"

Gu Yun stood up angrily, walked around the table, grabbed Bai Kou's arm heavily, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"The attack on the emperor's grandson was not a simple kidnapping and trafficking of children. To be able to bribe the servants around the emperor's grandson, there must be someone in the East Palace who is doing something wrong. Now that the truth of your meddling has been exposed, don't those behind-the-scenes masters take it out on you? I'm worried. It's this, can you stop making me angry with a heartless look?"

"If the servant girl is attacked on the street in the near future, please ask the prince to write to the saint to ask for amnesty for my Bai family, so as to comfort the maidservant's spirit in heaven, okay?"

"What a fart!" Gu Yun panicked, raised his hand and slapped Bai Kou's butt again.

"The noble son of the family can also speak foul language, which is not refined at all."

"You try to make me angry again?"

"I don't dare, I just ask you to make such a gesture. Whenever the servant girl is attacked, you should write a letter to ask for amnesty of the Bai family, and it is not in vain that the servant girl has served you wholeheartedly these days."

Gu Yun pursed his lips tightly, took a few deep breaths, and tried his best to calm down.

"Do you want me to declare that publicly?"

"Exactly, any occasion, anyone, whenever you get the chance to claim it."

"What's the intention?"

"Naturally, it shows that you are a good master who cares about your subordinates. In addition, everyone knows that the Gu Bai family has a little love for their robes. It is reasonable for you to write a letter to ask for an amnesty. Let the family come back to handle the funeral for the maid."

"Okay, I promise you, no matter when, if you are attacked and killed, I will definitely ask you for this amnesty."

"The maid accidentally ruined such a good thing as the mastermind behind the scenes. The other party will definitely want revenge. The mansion should be more careful these days, especially you and the elder are people who go out every day. Although the other party can't directly assassinate, But I'm also afraid of making some conspiracy behind the scenes to harm people."

"Hmph, I know that officials always have political enemies, and the elder is the biggest target. I will remind him to pay more attention later."

"Speaking of which, the Elder Master has officially been promoted to the fifth-rank doctor of our company today. The East Kitchen has prepared wine and dishes, and we will celebrate it tonight."

"Being overwhelmed by your matter, how can I have the mood to celebrate."

"Of course we have to celebrate. Only when we are full can we find someone to settle accounts. Few people know the truth about the maidservant saving people, but it happened to be revealed during the Shangyuan Festival. Who can't control his mouth? It is the focus of investigation.”

"There is no need to investigate? It must be someone from the eldest brother-in-law's family. The only ones in our house who know the truth are the old lady and me. The two little nobles in the East Palace went back to the palace yesterday and were not outside. Staying here, Ye Junting was the only one in my eldest brother-in-law's family who went out to play yesterday."

"Oh, miss, I really don't know what she thinks."

"No matter what she thinks, since she can do such a thing and put you in danger, I will never let her go."

"Confer her the title of princess and marry her to Fanbang."

"...This is not realistic."

"The great merit of marrying a foreign country, educating people of other races, and being famous forever. As a royal family member, if you enjoy the privileges, you have to fulfill your obligations. Besides, she sold her maidservant to the Duke of Ye's mansion yesterday, and she can betray others tomorrow, maidservant. I don't believe there is any other family in the capital who dares to marry her."

"It makes sense. If you say this to you, I'll think of a way."

Gu Yun was finally in a better mood, he lowered his head and kissed Bai Kou on the forehead.
