Gu Zhao was also attracted by the prince's words. Concubine Yuan Gui was so famous and her experience was so legendary that she couldn't help but be curious.

Qin Youzhen seemed to be aroused with hatred in his heart, and the expression on his face was distorted, "She is the culprit who killed my mother!"

"If she hadn't seduced my father, why would my father have ignored my mother? My mother would not have resented my father and done some irrational things to anger my father."

"My father will not decide to deal with my mother's family because of this, forcing my mother to disrespect my father and die at the hands of the secret guard leader."

He clenched his fists and slammed them on the table, "In the final analysis, it was the demon concubine who harmed my mother and my grandfather's family!"

Gu Zhao had different views than him, but he didn't say it out loud.

Qin Youzhen has experienced too many ups and downs today, and his moods are alternately happy and sad. Before, he tried hard to control himself and not be too exposed. But now in this private situation, facing Gu Zhao, who has seen all his ugly behavior today, those suppressed

The emotions that had been building up all day finally burst out.

"Everyone who mentions my father's wife will think of that enchanting concubine! But my mother is clearly my father's second concubine!"

"I have endured it for so many years, being a filial son and pretending to have forgotten all this hatred. But suddenly one day, my informant told me that he had found out about the leader of the secret guard, and vaguely heard that there was another hidden story behind the incident.

."

"I just want to find the secret guard leader and let him tell the truth clearly."

Qin Youzhen showed a look of pain and confusion, "But I never thought that he would die in the deserted temple together with the secret guard leader..."

Gu Zhao suddenly realized that the leader of the secret guard who guarded Emperor Zheng was dead and was brutally murdered; the confidant sent by the prince to find the leader of the secret guard also happened to die at the scene.

No wonder Emperor Shouzheng would directly point the finger at the prince, thinking that the prince had evil intentions.

Gu Zhao asked directly, "Then why are His Highness's people in the deserted temple?" Without waiting for Qin Youzhen to explain, she stretched out her hand, "Your Highness, do you mind if I feel your pulse?"

With so many lives involved, Gu Zhao couldn't just accept anyone's words, even if that person was the prince.

Qin Youzhen smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand, letting Gu Zhao's fingers press on his veins, "It doesn't matter, doesn't my father doubt me because of this?"

As soon as Gu Zhao's fingers touched Qin Youzhen's skin, Qin Youzhen's voice rang in her mind.

Is Gu Zhao still keeping an eye on this case at this time because he wants to blackmail Gu? What does she want from Gu? Even the Crown Princess didn't impress her before. What could be more tempting than the Crown Princess?

By the way, it’s the queen’s position!

Gu had several brothers before, but she refused to stand by Gu until the last moment; now that the old man is dead and those bitches have been killed by Gu, only Gu can be the emperor of Bei'an.

The Queen naturally has different weights than the Crown Princess!

It turned out that he missed her so much in his heart. Gu Zhao curled his lips slightly, and it turned out that the Qin family were all the same, one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and they could lie and deceive without blinking an eye.

Fortunately, she had suffered a loss once. When Qin Youzhen proposed to make her the crown prince again and again, she never took it seriously. Otherwise, it would not be long before she would have to experience the feeling of being deceived and betrayed again.

Gu Zhao hid these emotions, his face calm. "Your Highness, you can tell me why your people are in the deserted temple."

Qin Youzhen sighed, "That's why I said that the whole case is most likely a conspiracy against me."

"The reason why my people went to the deserted temple was because my informant got a message. The leader of the secret guards sent a signal, gave a time and place, and ordered a dozen secret guards from Gyeonggi to meet at the deserted temple.

"

"My people thought that he would also show up at that time, so he led his men to ambush the deserted temple in advance, preparing to wait for an opportunity to arrest him, capture him, and find out the truth about that year."

Qin Youzhen shook his head, "I never asked him to kill the secret guard leader."

Except for him, no one knows who the person who defiled my mother was before she died. How could I kill him before knowing the answer!

Gu Zhao's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Qin Youzhen's mother was the second concubine of King Chang at that time and had a distinguished status.

Even if she and Prince Chang were at odds, the couple turned against each other, and Prince Chang wanted to destroy her natal family for some reason, killing her would not allow anyone to tarnish her innocence.

Isn’t that cuckolding yourself?

Gu Zhao asked, "How many subordinates does His Highness bring?"

"Five, including him, there are six in total. They all left without a trace, and no one came back." Qin Youzhen answered.

Gu Zhao nodded. After the splicing and statistics of the deceased at the scene, the total number was forty-seven.

He then asked the prince to send someone to the scene to identify the bodies and see if all six of his men died in the deserted temple.

Gu Zhao continued to ask, "Can your Highness please introduce the appearance and characteristics of your confidant?"

Qin Youzhen thought for a while, "He is my East Palace guard. He is three years older than me. He is twenty-four this year. He entered the palace at the age of sixteen and has been with me for eight years. He has always been loyal."
