As soon as he left the political hall, Emperor Xiaoming took back his steps to the imperial study and turned to look at He Yuan.

"Has King Jing entered the palace now?"

Today was the last day of the deadline given by the Queen Mother, and he wanted to know what Gu Junjing found out.

"Go back to the emperor, I will ask you now."

After all, He Yuan also followed Emperor Xiaoming into the hall. He didn't know what was happening now and needed to ask the apprentice he had arranged to guard outside.

Soon, he will be back.

"Back to the emperor, King Jing has entered the palace and brought the one million silver taels collected from the gambling shop."

After learning that the treasury had received another one million taels of silver, Emperor Xiaoming's anger because the Ministry of Punishment had hidden the files and the second prince bribed the students was only slightly relieved.

"Driving in Shouning Palace."

In Shouning Palace, Gu Junjing listened to the Queen Mother recounting old events.

The Queen, Concubine Xian and others also gathered in Shouning Palace because Gu Junjing entered the palace today.

Watching Gu Junjing and the Queen Mother discussing the past together, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Whether the truth has been found or not, why not tell it?

"The Emperor has arrived!"

As soon as they heard that the emperor was coming, everyone stood up one after another.

The emperor first bowed to the queen mother, and then asked everyone to stand up.

As soon as he sat down, Emperor Xiaoming asked Gu Junjing.

"How about it? Ninth brother, can you find out who is the person who murdered the queen?"

"Returning to the emperor, I came to the palace this time just for this matter."

Gu Junjing clapped her hands, and Qingfeng and Qingzhu immediately carried a box in.

"After interrogation, it was found that the person who murdered the mother was the second prince."

Emperor Xiaoming had actually known this answer for a long time, and he didn't have much reaction.

The queen, on the other hand, stood up quickly when she heard that it was the second prince.

"Your Majesty, this second prince is really brave! He has evil intentions in plotting to kill the Queen Mother. Please, Your Majesty, punish the second prince!"

Emperor Xiaoming glanced at the queen and ignored her.

Then, he looked at Gu Junjing again.

"Why did the Second Prince want to harm the Queen Mother?"

Gu Junjing had already expected this question from Emperor Xiaoming.

He had long known that even after he found out the truth, Emperor Xiaoming would be very critical of the results or process of his handling of the case.

"This matter is quite long to talk about, and the cause of the matter is because of Princess Jing."

"Princess Jing?"

Emperor Xiaoming looked around and did not see Su Moyan in Shouning Palace.

The Queen Mother saw what Emperor Xiaoming meant and reminded him: "Princess Jing went to the imperial concubine's palace early in the morning to change the imperial concubine's dressing. She will probably be back soon."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.

As soon as the Queen Mother spoke to Su Moyan on her front foot, Su Moyan arrived on her back.

Seeing so many people in Shouning Palace, Su Moyan had a headache.

First he saluted the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then he saluted the Queen.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but when the queen asked her to get up, her voice was filled with reluctance and hatred.

Su Moyan was speechless. Where did this hatred come from?

Could it be that Concubine Chen was harmed by the Queen?

"Since Princess Jing is here now, Ninth Brother might as well tell you what happened."

Seeing that Emperor Xiaoming was so impatient, Gu Junjing agreed to grant Emperor Xiaoming's favor.

"The reason is that on the day Princess Jing married the king, a gambling house opened a gambling game. The game was about whether the princess could survive the wedding night. As many as 40,000 people placed bets that day, and the number of bets was

The amount is ten million taels of silver."

Hearing this, Emperor Xiaoming opened his eyes wide.

More than 40,000 people bet for an amount of 10 million taels of silver!

On average, one person needs to invest at least two hundred taels of silver!

More than 40,000 people!

The entire capital city, including the ordinary people in the surrounding areas, has only a little over 100,000 people.

On the day Gu Junjing and Su Moyan got married, half of the people in the capital went to the gambling house to place bets!

The queen then spoke: "King Jing, when it comes to the second prince, why did you start talking about the gambling house?"

Gu Junjing glanced at the queen, with a cold warning in her eyes.

"I have said that my words are a bit long. I need to explain all the reasons clearly so that you will understand. The Queen has not investigated the case, so it is best not to interrupt at will."

For a prince to not give the queen face like this, it can be said that to a certain extent he does not take the emperor into consideration.

This time, Emperor Xiaoming did not resent Gu Junjing for not giving him face. Instead, he felt that Gu Junjing was right.

He was also annoyed that the queen suddenly interrupted him and interrupted him to listen to what Gu Junjing was saying.

Seeing that Emperor Xiaoming showed no sign of seeking justice for herself and had no intention of punishing Gu Junjing, the queen secretly felt sulky and thought about what she should do to get back the favor from Gu Junjing.

After the brief interlude, Gu Junjing continued, "The gambling house that opened this gambling game is Tianfeng Gambling House. On the wedding night of the king and the princess, they hired experts from the world to protect the safety of the princess.

, out of curiosity, Brother Chen went to investigate the person behind Tianfeng Gambling House, but the person behind Tianfeng Gambling House

He was very cunning and cut off the informant in time. My brother did not find out who was behind the gambling house, so he gave up. After the princess survived the wedding night, the boss of Tianfeng Gambling House made ten million taels of silver for nothing and was very happy.

So a new bet was opened, betting on whether the princess could survive five days or whether she could survive seven days."

When Gu Junjing said this, she glanced at Su Moyan.

"The princess saved the eldest prince. After learning the content of the bet from the eldest prince, she asked her maid to place a bet of 800,000 taels of silver that she could live for seven days. In order to support the princess, the king asked the people of the palace to place the bet.

The entire palace has collected three million taels of silver to bet on the princess surviving seven days."

When Su Moyan heard Gu Junjing's words, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

What supports her?

Is this how the waist is supported?

Also, the three million taels of silver collected by the entire palace?

Nonsense!

Cuiping checked it and found that it only had two million taels of silver.

Of the two million taels, I gave her one million taels first!

So this guy must have hidden money!

"The bet multiplier for the princess who cannot survive five days is one times, and the bet multiplier for the princess who can live for seven days is ten times. The boss of the gambling shop did not want Princess Jing to live for seven days, so on the fifth day, the hero order was issued.

Offer two million taels for the princess’s head.”

Emperor Xiaoming narrowed his eyes.

He knew about the matter of buying Su Moyan's head.

At that time, he wanted to kidnap Su Moyan and take the two million taels of silver himself.

"The person who took the order was Jun Ye, who was the best in martial arts in the world. After Jun Ye made it clear that he wanted the princess' head, the other people in the world all retreated. As for the person behind the Tianfeng Gambling House, he believed in Jun Ye too much.

So much so that he stopped his most promising plan."
