Chapter 366: Behind the Scenes, Things Are Gradually Revealed
Gu Qing Pei's face was still grim at this moment, with his facial features squeezed together, as if he was having a very painful dream.
Mrs. Gu, who was already weak, sat aside and carefully wiped his forehead with a wet cloth. It was such a sin!
The doctor also told me a lot of things, such as resting and not working too hard, and taking it easy on everything...
How to take medicine and eat a light diet...
After giving the instructions, he picked up the medicine box and left with the reward money given by the Marquis' Mansion.
He kept shaking his head as he left. He often went in and out of the mansions of these wealthy families. Although these rich people had no worries about food and drink, and lived in luxury, almost everyone had a mental illness. Even pregnant women always had a lot on their mind.
There were only two children in the family, and with them crying and making a fuss, Gu Qingpei, who usually looked much more stable and mature, was now listless.
"Father, please save Gu Qingpei." Madam Gu didn't care about all that. She only knew that her son had a lover, and this lover just happened to have difficulty marrying into the Marquis's Mansion.
At this moment, Lord Gu wished he could find a hole to crawl into. This was his wife, the one he had tried so hard to marry.
Although she was not beautiful, he always felt that she was a caring person. After falling in love at first sight, he didn't care about anything else.
But his mother said, "This man can't give you much help. Even if you become a marquis, you may still live a dull life. This title was inherited by your father."
Eventually, I will have to marry three generations of this family, the old marquis, the current prince and the future prince.
They all have their own obsessions and are all romantic.
The eldest princess closed her eyes, wishing she could fall asleep immediately. She really didn't want to get involved in these people's affairs anymore.
But there is no other way, some things you have to do yourself.
"Alright, alright, what's the point of begging your father? When he wakes up tomorrow, ask him to give me all the evidence he has collected. I'll see how I can explain this to the emperor with my old face."
After saying that, the princess left the house tiredly. The old marquis chased her out and said, "My lady, this is all my fault. I led them astray. These monkeys are more difficult to deal with than the other."
The eldest princess waved her hands and said helplessly, "How can I blame you? They are all our children. We can only think more about them."
At this time, Gu Qingpei was still struggling painfully in his dream. He seemed to feel that something was about to slip away, so he tried his best to grab it.
But the tighter you hold on, the faster that thing seems to slip away.
Yan Yuying had no way to pull Gu Qingpei away, and the doctor said bluntly, "If this girl leaves by force, the noble young master will not be able to sleep peacefully."
Because of this, it doesn’t matter whether the marriage can be successful or not, saving lives is the most important thing.
……
When the sky was just getting light, Le Yonghou arrived at the palace. He was not there to attend court, but just to ask for leave for Gu Qingpei.
The emperor naturally couldn't help but ask a few more questions to this close minister.
"Why would he get sick out of nowhere? He usually looks strong and healthy."
"Your Majesty, probably because Gu Qingyun has not been home recently, he has a lot more things to think about. He has to take care of the family and the affairs of the court... In addition, he seems to have fallen in love with a woman behind our backs..."
Le Yonghou deliberately left a thread to the emperor, which was indeed a risky move. It depended on the emperor's attitude, and if he was not careful, he would make the emperor angry.
If the emperor doesn't mind retrialing this criminal, then Gu Qingpei's chances of winning will be much greater. If the emperor doesn't want to, the worst that can happen is that he will be demoted and transferred to another place.
But this is what Gu Qingpei has to endure. Seeing how desperate he was last night, if he didn't fight, he might even lose his life.
The emperor was really interested in this and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Gu Qingpei is only a few years younger than me. Now I have so many children, but he hasn't married yet. I should be worried. But this is a good thing. Why did he get sick from worry? Could it be that the girl he likes doesn't want to marry him, his big brother?"
Le Yonghou shook his head. He didn't want his wife to take this risk and lose face, so he went to the study early and took out the small box of evidence that Gu Qingpei had collected.
He looked at the emperor's face and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I dare to review the case of Yan Xianglin, the former Minister of the Central Secretariat."
As he said this, he knocked down heavily.
As expected, the room fell into an eerie silence. Le Yonghou did not dare to look up and could only crawl on the ground in the hall.
The emperor didn't know how long it had been before he coughed lightly, "Back then, Yan Xianglin deserved his punishment. There's no need to discuss this matter again. Let's talk about what kind of little girl Gu Qingpei fell in love with, right?"
His words were full of authority and undaunted. Just as Marquis Le Yong was about to speak again, Marquis An Yong entered the room.
The emperor couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his temples. This Marquis An Yong had clearly found his legitimate daughter a few days ago, so why did he want to get involved in everything now?
He had just heard that the woman that Gu Qingpei fell in love with was probably the daughter of a criminal, which was why he had to re-examine the case.
But he was unwilling to review the case, as that incident had always been a thorn in his heart. If it had not been for this incident, perhaps the child in Concubine Yan's belly would have been born healthy, and she would not have had to fall into so many state crises and was almost forced to abdicate. He had a strong psychological shadow on this.
Marquis An Yong had already completed the ceremony without caring about anything and accepted a box.
"Your Majesty, I am late. I mentioned a few days ago that besides us, there are other people looking for An An's whereabouts. In order to ensure An An's safety, I have been looking for evidence and trying to find out who did it. Today, I finally got a clue."
The emperor then breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the two people kneeling in the hall had a close relationship. He was really afraid that Marquis An Yong came to help Marquis Le Yong.
"Send it up."
It was clearly written on it: the Hua family of Nanzhou, and the King of Zhenxi and so on.
The emperor was so furious that his eyes burst with anger. He originally thought that the matter of the Prince of Zhenxi had been settled by the previous dynasty, but he didn't expect that he could still be involved.
"Your Majesty, I dare to speak frankly. These cases seem to be unrelated, but in fact, they are very related. The Nanzhou Hua family made such a big mistake back then, but they are still stirring up trouble now. This time, the place where Gu Qingyun goes will probably be able to collect a lot of evidence of their crimes.
King of Zhenxi, it was because of his pursuit that An An and I split up. I didn't report this, firstly because he was a royal descendant, and secondly because I only saw his deputy general, not him in person. "
