Chapter 215
A guard who followed Concubine Zhao recalled, and said in a low voice: "Yes, not long ago, my subordinate saw a little eunuch running out outside the door of the concubine, and the concubine kept shouting, let that The little eunuch returns the things."

"Could it be that the little eunuch is that man, and then he had a conflict with the empress and took away something important, making the empress anxious?"

Others also nodded in agreement, saying that there was such a thing.

"You guys are talking nonsense! He just took away the valuable jewelry from Ben Gong!" Concubine Zhao shouted angrily, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, how could it be possible to travel with Hua Guo?
After hearing this, Emperor Changde's eyes became darker.

"Your Majesty, you have to trust your concubine!" She wailed bitterly and crawled towards Emperor Changde's ankle.

"How do you want me to believe you?" Emperor Changde gave her a cold look, and then he ordered: "Arrest Concubine Zhao Gui, and don't allow her to escape again."

"And that man from the enemy's country, even if you dig three feet into the ground, I still have to find it!"

"If you can't find anyone, let the whole government of Marquis Wu'an come and give me an explanation!"

The guards listened to the order, and then ran to the various places on the island in the middle of the lake with neat steps.

Concubine Zhao's arms were bound with ropes, and she was dragged down with tears in her eyes.

Feng Xihe looked at the unkempt Concubine Zhao with deep eyes.

She looked at Gu Shiyin, and Gu Shiyin gave her a reassuring look. Someone from Hua Nu's side would send him out. From now on, Hua Nu will never step into Jinling City again.

Granny Zhao's old face was full of embarrassment. She was about to open her mouth when a guard came to report, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Third Prince is asking to see you."

Emperor Changde nodded slightly, and the guards went to invite Gu Jinnian.

"My son is joining the father." Gu Jinnian came in, took off his snow-covered cloak, and bowed his knees to Emperor Changde, "It's really inappropriate for me to disturb the father at such a late hour."

"However, at the gate of Jinling City, my son arrested the suspicious person who secretly transported stolen silver into the city."

"Smuggling stolen money?" The veins on the back of Emperor Changde's hands became more prominent, and he said angrily, "Who is it that dares to be so presumptuous?"

Gu Jinnian hesitated for a moment, then, he looked at the old lady Zhao, and said: "It's a winery under the name of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. It transports wine into the city at night, and there is a batch of stolen money hidden in the wine jar. It is from the family of Lin Shilang who was imprisoned for corruption a few years ago."

"In the past few years, the imperial court has been tracking down the whereabouts of this batch of stolen money. Unexpectedly, it was the Marquis of Wu'an who hid the stolen money."

"What did the Marquis of Wu'an hide the stolen money for?" Emperor Changde almost couldn't restrain the flames in his heart.

"This, my servant has already found out this before coming to Huxin Island." Gu Jinnian restrained the excitement in his heart and concealed the smug look in his eyes, "It turns out that the Zhao family has been recruiting soldiers in secret, with the intention It's out of order."

Emperor Changde's eyes suddenly enlarged, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

The old lady Zhao was slightly surprised, and hurriedly went to Emperor Changde, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wu'an has been loyal for many years, how could there be any plots?"

Gu Jinnian turned his head and said: "Mrs. Zhao, what you said is wrong. When I came here, I also heard that the imperial concubine and Lord Zhao Hou had a relationship with Hua Guo and the secret works of the Yuezhao clan in private." Wherever you come and go."

"Isn't this a disappointment to my father's trust in the Marquis of Wuan's Mansion over the years?"

"In my opinion, all the people in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion should be imprisoned first, and then the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion should be thoroughly investigated from beginning to end."

"The Marquis of Wu'an dared to collude with the enemy. It's not certain that there is something shady about it."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her complexion changed suddenly, and Concubine Zhang De said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, don't be surprised. Jinnian is a child who speaks outspokenly and doesn't rub his eyes. Besides, you were there just now. The letters found cannot be faked."

"You should stop insisting on emphasizing how innocent the Hou Mansion is. I believe His Majesty will not wrong you at will."

After saying that, Gu Jinnian immediately clasped his fists and said, "Father, my son is willing to go to Wu'anhou's mansion for a thorough investigation, so that everyone can be convinced."

Concubine Zhang De looked at Gu Jinnian with satisfaction, and felt that her son was really getting more and more promising.

Emperor Changde was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you."

"Your servant obeys." Gu Jinnian raised his head happily, turned and left immediately, and when he passed by Gu Jincheng, he said softly: "Second brother, I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, I am the emperor today. I advise you, don’t try to fight for what you can’t get.”

Gu Jincheng was not annoyed by his words, he kept a gentle smile, "Third Emperor Brother, you are now the most valued prince by Father, who would dare to compete with you."

"It's good that the second brother understands." Gu Jinnian snorted coldly, and strode away.

Feng Xihe turned his eyes to look at Gu Jincheng, thinking, although there is no direct evidence to point to Gu Jincheng, but, Feng Chenshu's contact with him before, and now, Gu Jinnian went to thoroughly investigate the Zhao family, more or less he would find Gu Jincheng body.

Emperor Changde stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, and asked Concubine Zhang De to accompany her back.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the old man..." Mrs. Zhao took a step forward persistently, but Emperor Changde waved his hand, "Mrs. Zhao, it's late today, what's the matter, you can wait until Jinnian finishes checking the Hou's mansion." .”

"Come on, take the old lady Zhao down!" Emperor Changde shouted calmly, without giving her any favors.

However, in view of Mrs. Zhao's status as an elder, she was temporarily taken to a room, nominally to invite her to stay for a few days, but in fact, it was confinement.

After everyone retreated, Gu Shiyin also took Feng Xihe to leave here slowly.

When he reached the door, Feng Xihe stopped abruptly.

Gu Shiyin asked her what was wrong suspiciously, but she glanced regretfully at the house next door where the body of Miss Yun was parked.

The woman who used to be with the green lantern had come to such an end. She didn't know where to be buried until after she died. She couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Thinking of herself in her previous life, she felt a little more mournful. I'm afraid that in her previous life, after she died, no one would collect her body.

No, a voice faintly appeared in her mind. At that time, after she closed her eyes, it seemed that a man was whispering in her ear.

Feng Xihe raised his eyes and asked quietly: "Ziyu, tell me, after I die, will I be like Concubine Yun?"

In the beginning, every day after she woke up, she would pinch herself to make sure she was still alive.

Every day, she was afraid that the dying scene in her previous life would repeat itself.

Gu Shi drew her waist and shielded her from the cold wind, "No, because I am with you. Besides, people are mortal. After death, I will be buried with you. You will not be alone." .”

Because of his heart-warming words, Feng Xihe had a brilliant smile on his cheek.

The two carried each other and walked on the snowy ground. Not long after, they saw a few palace people passing by them muttering: "You think this Yunbi empress is also strange, why don't you just go?"

"I don't know either. It's better not to ask too much about these things, so as not to lose your head."

"However, a monk ran to the entrance of the island in the middle of the lake and asked to take the body of Empress Yunbi away."

monk?Feng Xihe was slightly stunned, Gu Shiyin took her hand, walked over, and said with deep eyes: "Where is that monk now?"

When the palace people saw him, they were frightened and wanted to salute, but he stopped them.

"Tell me, where is that monk?" Gu Shiyin asked repeatedly.

They bowed their heads and said, "It's still at the entrance of the island, no matter how hard you push it, you can't get rid of it."

After hearing this, Feng Xihe felt even more incredible, "Ziyu, do you know that monk?"

However, Gu Shiyin led her to the entrance of the island in the middle of the lake.

A short monk in loose robes stood silently.

In the wind and snow all over the sky, he clasped his hands together, his eyes were calm, neither sad nor happy, as if he really came from a distant world.

As soon as Feng Xihe saw him, he immediately remembered that this was the wonderful monk who came to the gate of Feng Guogong's mansion in the middle of the night and handed her a kit inexplicably.

However, she immediately thought that Xiaomei Yun and Master Miao Seng were in the same school, and it made sense for Miao Seng to collect her body.

However, she was surprised that, didn't they all say that the Miao Monk had asserted in the past that Gu Shiyin was not destined for the throne in this life, and that Gu Shiyin sent people to chase and kill him?
Why did he dare to come to Gu Shiyin?

Seeing Gu Shiyin walking over, Miao Monk bowed his head slightly, "Please tell Your Majesty, allow the poor monk to take away Miss Yun and let her return to my Buddhist sect."

His tone was quiet and ethereal, like the bells from the Buddhist kingdom.

"This king has been looking for the master for a long time, but he has never heard from you. Today, the master came just in time, and I also have a question to ask you." Gu Shiyin's eyes darkened.

Feng Xihe also looked at Miao Seng earnestly, and she also wanted to ask questions full of doubts.

However, the Miao Monk shook his head and sighed, "Two benefactors, the time has not come yet, please forgive the poor monk for not being able to tell you two."

As he said that, he repeated his request just now, "The poor monk came here today for just one thing, and I ask the prince to fulfill it."

Gu Shiyin tensed his jaw, thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay."

He sent people to tell Emperor Changde about this matter. Emperor Changde was having a headache about how to bury Yun Xiaomei. It just so happened that Miaoseng came over on his own initiative.

Therefore, Emperor Changde handed over Miss Yun's body to Monk Miao, and he also asked him to take Miss Yun back to the original place.

The next day, the heavy snow that had been falling for several days suddenly stopped, and everyone went to the lakeside to enjoy the snow.

Because too many things happened yesterday, everyone was a little absent-minded when enjoying the snow.

Feng Xihe stepped on the ice, and through the ice with Qian Yun, looked down at the koi that was struggling to swim.

Today's Zhao family is like the koi in this icy lake, struggling for the last time.

At this time, a figure came to them, only heard "Ouch", as if about to fall.
