Chapter 697 Injustice
"anything else?"

"What else?"

"You spent most of the day with your parents and seniors, don't tell me you didn't inquire about the past and gossip?"

"I said why I always feel that someone is staring at me today, and it turned out to be you."

"Any old gossip worth sharing?"

"Really." Gong Changji drank and ate food, licked his mouth, and put on a serious expression, "Since we talked about the matter of the Second Master Gu changing his defense, the old gossip I heard from my father today is It makes sense, even my eldest brother doesn’t know about it, only the older generation of clan children have heard of it.”

Gu Yun came to his senses, sat up straight suddenly, and looked at Gong Changji without blinking.

Gong Changji's expression became more and more serious, without a trace of joking. Gu Yun's heart seemed to have a huge stone, and it was slowly sinking under the weight of his heart. He didn't dare to breathe. You will hear something shocking about the past.

"I can only tell you about this now, and I won't admit it when I leave this door."

"Okay, I'll lose my memory when I leave this door, tell me quickly."

"This has to start when our sage was a little prince who went out of the palace to build a mansion."

"So long?"

"Are you listening?"

"Listen, listen, I won't interrupt, you say what you say."

"After the sage went out of the palace to live in another place, the palace made arrangements to choose a concubine for him. At that time, his choice for the right concubine had already been defaulted to be Zhao's daughter."

"Zhao's daughter? Concubine Zhao Xian?!" Gu Yun who said not to interrupt, still couldn't help but gasped.

"Telling you stories is really boring." Gong Changji slapped the table, and his interest suddenly faded.

"Don't, don't, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't interrupt, you go on, go on."

"What are you talking about? Originally, Zhao's daughter was appointed as the concubine, but before the final announcement, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, his brother fell ill, and his condition became worse and worse. It was shelved. Unexpectedly, the prince died of illness in the end, and the sage was welcomed back to the East Palace to succeed him as the prince. Zhao's daughter's default selection of the concubine was over, and Ye's daughter was selected as the crown prince. To make up for it, let Zhao's daughter be the crown prince Liang Di, this is the source of the discord between Queen Ye and Concubine Zhao Xian."

"I know that after the sage changed from a prince to a crown prince, the choice of concubine has changed, but I didn't expect it to be Empress Ye and Concubine Zhao Xian."

"This past event is only known to the older generation. Concubine Zhao Xian has been favored for so many decades. It's hard to say if there is such a relationship. If Queen Ye didn't have her own crown prince, maybe the Queen's position would have changed long ago. People are sitting."

"Queen Ye lost her two boys to keep the current crown prince, which is not easy."

Gu Yun's voice stopped abruptly, and his thoughts quickly diverged from the past in the harem. It was as if fireworks were going off in his mind, causing a roar in his ears, and many things that he couldn't understand before were connected together.

"Bai Yehong was the chief chef of the imperial kitchen at the time. Judging from the number of dishes cooked in the imperial kitchen every day, everything there is always new. There should never be and it is impossible to put old goods that have deteriorated. Let the distinguished guests of the embassy eat Where did the spoiled seasoning for diarrhea come from? What's more, Bai Yehong's son Bai Xiaoshan, the royal chef for generations, is in charge of those groceries. He can't take his family's life and future seriously, but bad things still happen, who can hide it from his eyes Manipulation? After the incident, the Bai family was exiled. Wang Xiaodong succeeded as the head chef and expelled all the cooks surnamed Bai. The eunuch Shao Yiping has an affair, and Shao Yiping is the old man of Concubine Zhao Xian when she was the Crown Prince Liangdi."

Gu Yun couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and circled around the chair, his mind continued to turn rapidly while walking, Gong Zhangji listened to his reasoning silently, occasionally drank wine, ate some food, his face was calm, and he couldn't see that he was thinking What.

"At that time, Wang Xiaodong was already a member of Concubine Zhao Xian. The only way for him to completely control the imperial kitchen was to drive away the Bai family who were trusted by the saint. As he wished, he succeeded in replacing them and held the imperial kitchen in his hands. , with Shao Yiping's cooperation and protection, they dared to attack the pregnant princess without being afraid of getting evidence. If it hadn't been for last year's winter hunt, the palace overhauled the house to find the Bai family's recipes that had been missing for many years, otherwise they would not know Wang Xiaodong The relationship with Shao Yiping, not to mention the relationship between Shao Yiping and Concubine Zhao Xian."

Gu Yun stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath and held it tightly, and then remained silent for a long time until he couldn't hold his breath anymore before he let out a long breath, walked to Gong Changji's side, put his right hand on his shoulder, and bent down Look into his eyes and speak his final conclusion.

"The case of the Bai family is a complete unjust case. The saint knows it well, but he still made the decision to exile the Bai family."

"Bai Yehong was the head chef at the time, and the distinguished guests of the diplomatic mission collectively sought medical treatment after the banquet. He was obliged to take full responsibility. Even if the saint felt that there was a problem, he had to deal with everything before King Salter entered the capital, so as to give the distinguished guests a satisfactory result. Confess, he didn't have time to find out the truth slowly. The state banquet level palace feast made the guests eat badly. This is a huge scandal. At that time, no one can calm down. The whole family ended up exiled to Chunshui Castle, which is already a great grace. And they encountered a mudslide a month after arriving in Springshui Castle. At the same time, your second grandfather took the defense team to a place [-] miles away. Small town, we don’t know if there is any connection between them, and there is no evidence to prove the connection. The speculation does not count at all. Bai Yehong’s family is now missing and suspected to be dead due to natural disasters on paper.”

Gong Changji said so much, it can be seen that after learning the old gossip of the saint, he contacted the known clues in his hands, made some reasoning, and thought about it with Gu Yun.

"He also let Bai Kou go, probably because he had doubts in his heart, but the result is here, and the quick disposal can prevent the scandal from expanding. He knows that Bai Yehong's loyalty can only be abandoned, and when the dust settles Later, it happened that Bai Kou was not old enough to be left in the capital, so he was sent to Yachifang, which no one could have imagined, as a culinary apprentice."

"Do you still remember that during the winter hunting last year, the saint was furious at Bai Kou in the tent, and Queen Ye left us to talk in her tent. She once said that Bai Yehong served tea to the saint every afternoon, and would take the opportunity to talk about folk trivia. The saint borrowed With Bai Yehong's eyes, he knew even the corners and corners of the capital. At that time, the political situation in the government and the opposition was stable, and the officials were all conscientious. It's time to recollect, but it's too late, he personally dealt with the courtiers who would speak out to him about anything."

Gong Zhangji said softly and calmly.
