Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 563 Punish Taifu Gu heavily (2)
Xiao Qingyu really couldn't be provoked, and he let himself reap the consequences without knowing it.

"I didn't kill Shangguan Taiwei!" Taifu Gu said in a low voice, his voice was weak.

"The evidence of the crime is convincing!" Meng Shangshu looked at him. It was a pity that the veteran of the three dynasties had a great reputation and died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for killing his colleagues.

"Someone framed me. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not Xiao Shizi, then it is..." Gu Taifu's sharp eyes swept over the faces of Jiang Taishi and the third prince, and his voice was cold: "This old man begs Shangshu to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Meng Shangshu looked at his cold gaze and sighed softly: "Teacher Gu, nearly a hundred people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice have almost turned the hot spring villa over. other results."

Gu Taifu narrowed his eyes, and he was going to be accused of the crime and be beheaded instead of the real mastermind behind the scenes?But he didn't kill him, how could he be someone else's scapegoat!
The emperor looked at his slumped and gloomy expression. He originally thought that Taifu Gu could push the crime to Xiao Qingyu, and then he would take the opportunity to suppress and send Xiao Qingyu down.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Xiao Qingyu was cleared of the crime, and Taifu Gu took the responsibility. A high-ranking veteran of the three dynasties, who had been in court for decades, was actually defeated by Xiao Qingyu, who was only a teenager. It was really useless!
Seeing Taifu Gu's eyes begging for help fell on him, the emperor felt a deep displeasure in his heart, and coldly issued an order: "Taifu Gu murdered the Taiwei, the evidence is solid, but the Taifu has made great contributions to the country, and he is sentenced to be exiled to the frontiers." , will never be allowed to enter Beijing."

Gu Taifu was startled, the emperor let him bear the crime, because he didn't want to continue to delve into this matter, and didn't want to take the trouble to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!

It is really not worthwhile to cause chaos in the court for him alone. The emperor is a person who knows how to choose. He will not cause internal chaos in Qinglong for him. The emperor only punished him for his crimes and did not harm the Gu family. Good: "Thank you Lord Long En!"

Seeing Taifu Gu kneeling to receive the decree, the queen felt a bang, and her mind went blank. The emperor wants to let his father go into exile in the frontier?But the most powerful member of the Gu family is his father. If he leaves, the younger generations of the Gu family will not be able to stand up to them at all. Tianjun will lose a strong pillar, and his power will drop a lot. He is two or three times inferior to Xiao Tianling. His opponent!
The queen looked at the emperor, and was about to plead for mercy, but she heard Eunuch Zhang screaming loudly: "Get up and go back to the palace!"

"Farewell to the emperor!" Everyone knelt down and saluted.

The emperor's complexion was slightly calm, and deep displeasure flickered in his eyes. With a wave of his sleeves, he strode out, his steady footsteps following the heartbeat of a person, and stomping heavily on the ground.

You don't need to look at Mu Yutang to know that the emperor must be very angry. He didn't count on Qingyu, and even got a Mr. Gu, how could he be so angry.

Watching the emperor sit on the dragon, everyone stood up. Xiao Qingyu held Mu Yutang's hand and was about to leave when Xiao Tianling stepped forward and smiled gently: "Congratulations, Prince Xiao!"

A simple sentence indirectly implied that Xiao Qingyu was the real culprit, making Taifu Gu the scapegoat.

"It should be me congratulating the third prince!" Xiao Qingyu's face was clear and indifferent, and his voice was calm and without any emotion, but Xiao Tianling could hear the sarcasm in his words, the Shangguan Taiwei and Gu Taifu belonged to the prince , They died and exiled, and Xiao Tianjun's power was greatly reduced. Smart people would think that he was doing something secretly, but he really didn't do it.

Looking at the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom, Xiao Qingyu was the only one who could arrange things so calmly, but from Xiao Qingyu's expression, it seemed that he didn't know about this matter. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Ignoring his thoughtfulness, Xiao Qingyu looked down at Mu Yutang, and said softly, "Let's go home!"

Mu Yutang nodded, and crossed Xiao Tianling arm in arm with Xiao Qingyu, and walked out of the lobby.

The figure of the two cuddling each other deeply hurt Xiao Tianling's eyes, and his complexion darkened: Let Xiao Qingyu be arrogant for a while, and when he succeeds in his big event, he can deal with Xiao Qingyu without hesitation.

Under the golden sun, Mu Yutang walked slowly, frowning slightly: "The crown prince has lost his father-in-law and grandfather, and his power has been greatly reduced. Will Xiao Tianling take advantage of it?"

Xiao Qingyu's eyes were deep: "Don't worry, the emperor's deep knowledge of the emperor's art will make the princes equal in power, check and balance each other, and never allow one family to dominate, otherwise, he will not just sentence Taifu Gu to exile!"

Murdering a courtier is a felony and will be sentenced to death. If Gu Taifu hadn't designed to frame him, he could have been exonerated and continued to be his Gu Taifu, but he is too greedy and must suffer.

"The queen is a more strategic woman, and she will definitely assist the prince in expanding his power."

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows: "The empress' method of expanding her power is somewhat...unique!"

The corner of Xiao Qingyu's mouth curled into a smile: "People who live in the harem are used to this method of attracting power."

Mu Yutang looked at Xiao Qingyu, and said with a half-smile: "You...wouldn't use this method to win over power, would you?"

Xiao Qingyu looked at her cold eyes, and smiled slightly: "Do I still need to expand my strength?" Even if he wanted to expand, he didn't bother to use that method. His heart, his people, belonged only to his beloved. people.

That's about it!The corner of Mu Yutang's mouth curved into a slight smile: "It's getting late, let's go have lunch!"

The news of Taifu Gu's exile spread to the Crown Prince's East Palace, Shangguan Yan frowned tightly, it was Xiao Qingyu and Mu Yutang who killed his father, they actually let Taifu Gu take the blame, it is extremely abominable, Taifu Gu is past sixty years old, No matter how hard I walked to the border, how could my body bear it...

The curtain was opened, and Xiao Tianjun walked in, his brows were full of tiredness: Grandpa was sentenced to a heavy punishment after a hard work, if they hadn't framed Xiao Qingyu, would the result be different...

Shangguan Yan looked at his tired expression, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and said each word: "Your Highness, don't worry, Yan'er will definitely help you regain power and defeat Xiao Tianling." She has always been very kind to her, her face was ruined by the fire, and he didn't hate her. Even if her father is gone, she will do her best to help him become a great treasure.

"I have a heart." Xiao Tianjun smiled lightly, and didn't take her words to heart. The young ladies who grew up in the inner courtyard of the high gate had never had contact with the court, so how could they help him regain his power.

"The empress is here!" Accompanied by the eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice, the empress walked in gracefully, and the maid following behind her was holding countless scrolls in her hands.

Carefully placed in front of Xiao Tianjun, a scroll rolled away gently, and a beautiful picture scroll unfolded in front of his eyes. On the picture scroll was a young woman, with detailed name, age, and background marked on the lower right corner.

Xiao Tianjun was slightly taken aback: "Queen, what are you doing?"
