Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

With Duke Zhen and a group of officials speaking for Gu Chen, and with no substantial evidence, Emperor Wu could not believe Gu Tianming's words.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Wu finally handed over the murder of the prince to Dali Temple.

They were ordered to find the culprit who assassinated the prince within a week.

...

Jin Palace.

After the morning court, Gu Tianming returned to the palace. Then he called his confidants and asked:

"Have you found the eunuch?"

Gu Tianming asked none other than Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch in charge.

Yesterday, he arranged all his men into the palace, preparing to get rid of Gu Mao and the chief eunuch at the same time.

To prevent the affair between himself and the queen from being known by his father.

And because Gu Mao went to Qingquan Palace to see Gu Chen yesterday, he also wanted to take this opportunity to turn his attention to Gu Chen while staying out of the matter.

However, although the Prince's Mansion succeeded, the eunuch in charge let him run away accidentally.

I still don’t know where he is?

"We haven't found him yet, but he was severely injured by us yesterday. It is estimated that he will live for a few days, and judging from the signs of his escape, he should be no longer in the palace." A trace of embarrassment flashed on the face of the guard below, and he whispered Report.

This old eunuch is too cautious. Even in the middle of the night, any slightest movement can wake him up.

So when the assassin he sent went in to assassinate him, the other party reacted immediately and escaped from the bedroom in time.

Moreover, this old eunuch is very skilled. Even if he is surrounded by eight fifth-grade warriors, he can still find a chance to escape.

"If you want to see this person alive, if you want to see his body dead, you must find this person as soon as possible." Gu Tianming said with a frown.

Although Gu Tianming couldn't guess what Gu Mao and Eunuch Zhang were talking about that day.

But he was sure that the other party must know something. If he is not completely eliminated, Gu Tianming is worried about getting into trouble.

"Yes." The guard said seriously.

...

Today is the last day of Gu Chen's confinement. After the morning court, Gu Chen also returned to Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

When Jiang Heyan learned the news, she immediately waited at the door of the mansion to welcome Gu Chen's arrival.

Not long after entering the house, Duke Zhenguo, Jiang Quan, Minister of Rites, Xiao Fang, Minister of Punishments, and others also came to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, preparing to discuss the murder of the prince with Gu Chen.

"Your Highness, what do you think about the prince's affairs?" Zheng Guogong asked.

After saying that, several people around him also looked at Gu Chen, wanting to hear his attention.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then looked at everyone and answered.

"The prince died in his own palace, which means that the murderer who assassinated him knew very well about the prince's palace, and might even be from the prince's palace. And to be able to arrange people into the East Palace, the identity of the person behind the scenes must not be simple, and even Maybe he was a former friend of the prince."

"Yesterday, the prince happened to go to Qingquan Palace to meet with me. The person behind the scenes probably wanted to use this time to pour dirty water on me."

"Your Highness, who do you think is most likely to take action?" Xiao Fang asked.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "Sixth Prince, King Jin."

First, he kidnapped He Yan to make himself hostile to the prince, and today he alluded to him in the court. Apart from him, Gu Chen could not think of anyone else.

I didn't take King Jin seriously before. On the one hand, I felt that although the other party was smart, he was not a bad person, and there was no need to fight him to the death. But now, the other party has obviously started to have his ideas.

If he didn't go to court today to prove his innocence, Emperor Wu might have believed King Jin's words today.

After listening to Gu Chen's answer, Zhen Guogong and others couldn't help but fall into thinking.

In fact, they were also suspicious of King Jin.

Starting from the marriage with the General Mansion, the other party has begun to reveal his ambitions.

But if it is true, as His Highness said, that the prince's death was arranged by King Jin, then the other party would be too terrible.

Even if he dares to kill the crown prince of a country, there is no one he dares to kill.

At this time, Xiao Fang said again: "By the way, Your Highness, I heard that Eunuch Zhang, the chief eunuch in the palace, also disappeared last night, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Head eunuch?"

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and the alarm clock raised a hint of doubt.

Isn't the chief eunuch someone from the father's side?

Why did he suddenly disappear?

And it was on the same day that the prince was killed?

Is this a bit of a coincidence?

"I sent someone to ask a guard working in the Prince's Mansion. It seems that the Prince invited the eunuch in charge to be a guest at the Prince's Mansion a few days ago. As for the specific conversation, it is not clear yet. People from Dali Temple are also here. We sent people to look for the eunuch in charge, and we suspect that his disappearance is somehow related to the murder of the prince," Xiao Fang said.

"Really?"

Gu Chen looked at Xiao Fang and others and said calmly: "It seems that this eunuch in charge probably has some secrets hidden in him, which is why people can't wait to make him disappear."

"If it is true as His Highness said, then we should also send more manpower to see if we can find any trace of Eunuch Zhang." Zhen Guogong said.

Now the chief eunuch has just disappeared, and it is not yet possible to tell whether he is dead or alive.

But if the other party is still alive, as long as he is found, some things and clues will be found.

Maybe we can also solve the murder of the prince in one fell swoop.

Gu Chen nodded and said: "I will leave this matter to the prefect Kaishan Mountain to deal with it, and ask him to send more government officials to find the whereabouts of the eunuch."

"Well, that's all we can do now," Zheng Guozheng said.

Xiao Fang beside him said: "The truth about the prince's matter must be found out as soon as possible, so that we can get rid of His Highness's suspicion."

...

After an hour, Zhen Guogong and his party finally said goodbye and left.

"Your Highness, is it really the Prince of Jin who killed the prince?"

At this time, Jiang Heyan looked back at Gu Chen and asked softly.

She had been beside him just now, but she didn't interrupt. After her grandfather and the others left, she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Jiang Heyan. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "To be able to assassinate the prince's palace quietly, it is obvious that he knows the prince's palace very well. The King of Jin had a close relationship with the prince before and often went to the prince's palace. It’s not difficult for the government to find the other party for fun, so it’s not difficult to arrange for a few assassins to go in.”

Jiang Heyan was shocked and murmured in a low voice: "Then he is too scary!!"

First he kidnapped himself, and now he assassinated the prince. He was simply a ruthless man who would do anything.

He was completely different from what she thought he was before.

Gu Chen glanced at Jiang Heyan and murmured: "Only if you really understand some people, will you know what they are like."

"Um."

Jiang Heyan nodded, her voice much softer, and her round eyes curiously looked at Gu Chen's side face.

She was actually very glad that she had not refused the marriage in the first place, and that she could find a man who would even be an enemy of the prince in order to protect her.

I am also glad that I was able to see through it early and no longer cling to the past.
