Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 230

Gu Sixiao knew the news in the palace one step earlier than the common people outside.

At that time, the sky was still gloomy and dark.

Before the dawn, it is always the darkest time.

"I don't know what Zheng Xuan said to Lin Mo Niang to make her so desperate." Playing with the small box of blessing ointments, sniffing the faintly spicy fragrance, Gu Sixiao was in a trance.

"I can't explain the word love! Seeing that she thought she was stupid, but when it really fell on me, I realized that I was also stupid..."

If it was her, would she be willing to do that for Su Jingchun?But, it is different after all, how can Zheng Xuan compare with Su Jingchun?
Shaking her head, Gu Sixiao looked back at the figure reflected on the window, and was about to ask Su Mei what time it is.I saw a familiar figure approaching.

Standing up abruptly, she forgot to ask, and rushed over to open the door.

When she pulled away, Su Jingchun and Su Mei outside were surprised.

"Sixiao," with a smile, Su Jingchun only called out, and Gu Sixiao had already fit into his arms.

The people in the first hospital, even Sumei are within easy reach.But Gu Sixiao couldn't care about those anymore, in her eyes, Su Jingchun was the only one at the moment.

Smiling slightly, Su Jingchun embraced Gu Sixiao, just patted her on the back lightly.

"You're finally back..." After saying a word, Gu Sixiao's nose was already sore.

Su Jingchun smiled, put his arms around her shoulders, and led Gu Sixiao into the room.

Seeing the small box on the table, Su Jingchun frowned and called out to Su Mei.

Su Mei responded and took the small box thrown by Su Jingchun, but she quietly retreated away.

"Sixiao, I made you worry. Zheng Xuan is dead."

Although Gu Sixiao didn't ask, Su Jingchun still talked about what happened that night first.

Hearing that Zheng Xuan died at the behest of the prince, Gu Sixiao couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Zheng Xuan has relied on the crown prince all his life, how much evil has he done with the power of the crown prince?The prince also protected him and cleaned up so many messes for him.

Who would have thought that in the end, Zheng Xuan would die at the hands of the prince?

"Sins deserve what they deserve, and evil is rewarded for evil. Now I can be regarded as getting what I wanted."

Squeezing her hand, Su Jingchun said in a low voice: "By dawn, there will probably be news of the prince's treason in the palace. This time, the prince will not be able to turn around. Not only will His Majesty announce to the world, but the prince's treasonous crime , and ordered Dali Temple to investigate the prince’s evil deeds. Si Xiao, this is an opportunity.”

It is indeed an opportunity.

From Su Jingchun's words, Gu Sixiao felt that his heart was about to jump out.

As Su Jingchun said, this is a good opportunity.As long as she also writes a pleading and sues the prince for covering up Zheng Xuan's evil deeds, it is possible for Dali Temple to re-investigate the Songjiang murder case.

Finally, I was able to clear up my brother's grievances.

Su Jingchun was right. At daybreak, rumors of the prince's treason came from the palace.

The entire capital is talking about this matter, but it is still a bit secretive. Even if the prince's obedience has been abolished, he was still above the top, and the common people dare not talk about royal affairs blatantly.

Although the announcement stated that "people are allowed to go to Dali Temple to expose and sue the prince's evil deeds", but no one dared to beat the drums of Dali Temple all morning.

They are not fools, who knows whether the emperor is sincere or false now?If later, the emperor suddenly forgave the prince again, how would the person who sued the prince be able to end well?
Everyone is waiting, waiting for that silly early bird.

When Gu Sixiao arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, he looked up at the golden plaque and the cold-faced guard with a knife in front of the gate, and felt nervous.

Along the way, she had already heard a lot, and even near the Dali Temple, there were still some people who were staring at the entrance of the Dali Temple.

Those, I don't know which family they are from, maybe even people from the East Palace?
Now that the crown prince is imprisoned in the palace, and the crown princess in the East Palace is also under house arrest, it doesn't mean that the crown prince has no subordinates waiting for opportunities outside.

Maybe among these people staring at Dali Temple, there is someone from the prince.

Su Jingchun originally wanted to come with Gu Sixiao, but Gu Sixiao sternly refused.

This is her family's business, so she has to do it herself.

What's more, Su Jingchun only confronted the prince in the palace last night. If he appeared in Dali Temple now, everyone would think that Gu Sixiao sued the prince because of Prince Rui's order. fake.

Pursing her lips, Gu Sixiao slowly walked up the steps.

As soon as she walked up the steps, the guard standing at the door immediately turned to look at her, with countless pairs of eyes staring at that delicate figure, both open and dark, near and far.

Gu Sixiao didn't seem to notice those gazes. When she walked up to the beating drum, she grabbed the drum and beat it hard without hesitation.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of the drum was like thunder, breaking the tranquility of Dali Temple.

In just half a cup of tea time, Gu Sixiao had already been brought to the lobby of Dali Temple.

In the hall, Master Qingbai of Dali Temple watched intently, his eyebrows raised involuntarily.

He knew this woman, she seemed to be the fan king of this session.If it's just some kind of fan king, he naturally doesn't know it, but this woman has defeated the fan masters in Dongying and Korea before, and was awarded by the emperor.

He still remembered that this woman also appeared at the sacrificial meeting on July [-]th, and it seemed that she had some relationship with Prince Rui.

Thinking about it this way, Lord Bai became a little unhappy.

Although the prince's treason was true, but it was too much for Prince Rui to kill them all.Being so impatient makes people look like a gentleman.

With prejudice first, Lord Bai's tone was not very gentle when he asked, and even threatening.

"Who is kneeling under the hall? Do you know what kind of crime it is if you make a false accusation?!"

As soon as Lord Bai asked, the guards on both sides immediately cooperated with hitting the ground with water and fire sticks, and shouted in unison: "Wei-wu..."

Gu Sixiao had also seen this kind of formation in the Songjiang Hall.It's just that at that time, it was her elder brother who was kneeling in the hall, and she could only watch her elder brother being tortured outside the hall.

Closing his eyes, Gu Sixiao raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Sixiao, Songjiang Gu's daughter! My lord, I don't know what kind of crime a false accusation is, but I never made a false accusation!"

Master Bai frowned, patted the gavel, and shouted: "Your Majesty, aren't you named Gu Hua'er? Why did you change your name again?!"

"Returning to my lord, Minnv also said in front of everyone before that she wanted to change her name to Gu Sixiao, but now, she is just fulfilling her promise."

Looking at the hall, Gu Sixiao said calmly: "The surname of the civilian girl has nothing to do with this case, so I ask you to learn from me."

After bowing his head solemnly, Gu Sixiao handed over the pleading paper in his hand to the officer who stepped forward, and said in a deep voice: "The daughter of the people wants to sue the prince for protecting his wife and younger brother Zheng Xuan, oppressing people with power, disrupting the court's laws and regulations, and killing innocent people— —My lord, Gu Liubai was wronged in the case of the Zhang family in Songjiang Mansion. The murderer was Zheng Xuan, not Gu Liubai. However, for his own selfishness, the crown prince ordered Hezhi County, the magistrate of Songjiang County at that time, to beat Gu Liubai into a trick. Here is the letter received by Hezhi County at that time as evidence.”

Lord Bai, who was reading the pleading paper, was startled, and then looked at the letter presented, and couldn't help frowning.

This pleading paper clearly states the facts of the case, and this letter proves it.Although we don't know if Zheng Xuan is the real murderer, but what the prince ordered is certain.

It seems that this matter was really not instigated by Prince Rui.

Frowning, Lord Bai asked in a deep voice: "Gu Sixiao, what is your relationship with Songjiang Gu's? Why do you want to appeal for Gu Liubai?!"

"Minnv is deeply favored by the Gu family and inherits the skills of the Gu family. Naturally, she should stand up for the Gu family. My lord, although the minnv is not the one who suffers, the lady of the Gu family once left Gu's seal on the invitations for the minnv to attend the fan king meeting. It can be seen I have already agreed that the Minnv represents the Gu family, so now the Minnv can naturally appeal on behalf of the Gu family in Songjiang."

These words were a bit far-fetched, but Master Bai did not refute.

Since the emperor posted such a notice, although he may not really want to investigate the prince's crimes, it is enough to prove that the emperor will really not tolerate the prince this time.

Abolishing the prince is only the first step, after which his crimes will be announced and he will be demoted to other places, or even imprisoned here.

Since the emperor already had such intentions, he, the Minister of Dali Temple, would naturally accept the pleadings against the prince.

"Gu Sixiao, your pleading paper, Dali Temple will accept it for the time being, when the time comes..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another drumming outside Dali Temple.

Invigorated, Master Bai immediately issued a sign and ordered the messenger to bring the drummer with him.

Hearing footsteps, although Gu Sixiao didn't dare to look up, she felt that the light footsteps sounded like a woman.

Could it be that Zheng Xuan once again framed him...

Before I could finish thinking about it, I heard the visitor say in a deep voice: "The little woman, Yue Mudan, sued the prince for making someone pretend to be a mountain bandit to rob and kill the court official..."

Turning her head suddenly, Gu Sixiao's eyes widened, looking at the beautiful woman standing beside her, she almost cried out.

What a coincidence?The one who sued the crown prince with her today was actually Yue Mudan, the original Mrs. Li, and now Mrs. Mu, the girl's biological mother.

A guard came forward, "Your Majesty, why don't you kneel?!"

This question, before Yue Mudan could speak, Master Bai in the hall had already waved his hands, "Shut up being rude—Madam Mu, although you have a third-rank order, once you enter Dali Temple, you are no different from a commoner..."

"I know, my lord, what I want to sue is the case of general Li Zhen being robbed and killed by bandits 15 years ago on the way to be demoted..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, Yue Mudan looked gentle, but she was full of fierceness. She didn't hesitate at this moment, and cried sadly: "My husband was wronged! He was framed and demoted to Lingnan, but the crown prince still refused to let him go. Pretending to be a bandit and killing my husband—my lord, Li Zhen died unjustly! My two-year-old daughter was not wronged..."

Looking fixedly at Yue Mudan, Gu Sixiao articulated slightly, but didn't know what to say.

She never expected to run into Yue Mudan in Dali Temple.

She is now a third-rank imperial order, her husband is gentle and considerate, and her daughter is cute. She should be living a happy life. Why would she take such a risk because of the past 17 years ago? !

Doesn't she know what consequences this lawsuit will bring?
