Several of the most active princes were under suspicion.
Li Cangjue was also among them.
In the palace, the emperor suppressed the sadness in his heart.
It is said that losing a child in old age is unfortunate, and he felt that he was unlucky.
Although I knew from the beginning that there would be fights among the princes, conflicts would break out sooner or later.
But I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly.
It was almost here, and he wasn't even prepared at all. It was too late.
Gu Xiao stood aside with some worry.
Also present was Prime Minister Wen, who had just been promoted.
Prime Minister Wen said worriedly: "Now all the officials are wondering who did it to the eldest prince. Some people in the court are already unstable."
He just became the prime minister, so he must get things done.
However, this matter made him very embarrassed.
He knew clearly that the murderer behind this must be one of the princes.
But he didn't dare not investigate.
Everyone is trying to offend people.
The emperor rubbed his temples and said tiredly, "Have you found anything through the investigation?"
Prime Minister Wen shook his head and said: "We haven't investigated yet, but we can confirm that the eldest prince was poisoned."
Li Cangjue's face flashed in Gu Xiao's mind.
His intuition told him that this matter had something to do with Li Cangjue.
The emperor looked at Gu Xiao and said, "Gu Xiao, what do you think?"
Even if Gu Xiao has an idea now, he dare not say it!
He said awkwardly: "Back to the emperor, I haven't thought of it yet."
The emperor doesn't expect to get the correct answer from Gu Xiao.
He waved his hands and said: "That's all, since you don't know, forget it! In fact, the conjecture in everyone's mind is also the conjecture in my mind. I just didn't expect that everything would happen so fast. Am I really old?"
At this moment, the emperor's face was full of disappointment.
Over the years, he has been working hard and giving.
I have been persisting.
I thought the children below had no ambition.
However, this sudden ambition made him feel very uncomfortable.
Gu Xiao and Prime Minister Wen quickly said: "The Emperor is immortal."
The emperor sighed and finally said: "I know you are trying to make me happy, Gu Xiao, you should be responsible for this!"
This is a hot potato!
Gu Xiao immediately knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor. I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to the emperor's request."
The emperor frowned imperceptibly: "Why?"
He also knows that this job is difficult.
And it’s easy to offend people.
But among the hundreds of officials in the court, no one is more suitable than Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao said very confidently: "If we go into battle to kill the enemy, Weichen must rush to the front to investigate who killed the eldest prince. I am afraid that Weichen may not be able to come to the investigation to find out the result. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
The emperor said: "You just need to investigate, it doesn't matter whether there are results or not."
Gu Xiao refused even more simply: "Wei Chen really can't agree to the emperor. Firstly, Weichen only knows how to lead troops in war and does not understand the affairs of the court. Secondly, Jingyi is pregnant again..."
Li Jingyi was diagnosed with pregnancy half a month ago.
At that time, Li Jingyi asked her to keep it a secret, saying that children under three months old would be easily lost if told everywhere...
Also, with his foresight, Li Jingyi asked him to speak out if he had anything difficult to do.
Prime Minister Wen and General Gu have a very close relationship, but not many people know that they have this kind of relationship.
At the critical moment, Prime Minister Wen finally spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, General Xiao Gu is shouldering the important task of continuing the bloodline of the General's Palace. Please ask Your Majesty to let General Xiao Gu spend more time with the princess."
The emperor also hesitated.
Gu Xiao is his son-in-law.
He also loved Li Jingyi, and of course he wanted Li Jingyi to receive more love.
Even though Gu Xiao was like this, he didn't want to take this hot potato.
That’s all.
If you don’t answer, don’t answer!
It's not a big deal either.
He looked at Gu Xiao and said, "Since you don't want to, forget it! Stay with Jingyi at home. You know that General Gu went to Beiliang, right?"
He felt a little sad after knowing that General Gu went to Beiliang.
But he didn't blame General Gu.
Over the years, General Gu has paid a lot for Tianyuan Kingdom.
It is completely understandable that I want to be with my daughter when I am old.
Gu Xiao said: "My sister wrote back about my father's stay in Beiliang."
The emperor continued: "You should all know how difficult it is this time. In fact, I also have some guesses in my mind, but..."
At this point the emperor sighed.
Among the most likely princes, the one with the greatest chance of winning is Li Cangjue.
The other princes have long since dared not duel with Li Cang.
Although Li Cangjue is also his son.
But he still felt very uncomfortable!
The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. He would rather the children tolerate each other, understand each other, and love each other.
I also don’t want to see the children desperately fighting for the throne.
No matter what the situation was, he felt pretty bad.
Both Li Cangjue and Prime Minister Wen knew that this matter must have something to do with Li Cangjue.
But this person really can't say anything casually.
Gu Xiao returned to the general's mansion.
Li Jingyi is pregnant and rarely goes out. In addition, she also has to take care of the child, so there are even fewer opportunities to go out.
When he saw Gu Xiao coming back, he quickly said: "Ms. sir, I want you to accompany me to burn incense outside the city tomorrow."
Gu Xiao was a little surprised and said: "Why do you suddenly want to burn incense outside the city? Didn't you like these things the most before?"
Li Jingyi pouted aggrievedly and said: "What I don't like is that I haven't met anyone to accompany me. During this time, you should stay by my side and accompany me well."
Gu Xiao dotes on Li Jingyi very much.
I agreed without hesitation.
He stretched out his arms and hugged Li Jingyi and said, "Okay, okay! I'll stay with you if you say you want. It's your decision."
Li Jingyi smiled, took out a letter and handed it to Gu Xiao, saying, "This is the letter I just received. This letter was specially written for you by Qingying. Please be careful about what is written in it."
Although they are husband and wife, Li Jingyi has always respected Gu Xiao.
As long as it was a letter written to Gu Xiao, she would not read it.
Gu Xiao couldn't wait to take it and took it apart to take a look.
The more he looked, the more smiles appeared on Gu Xiao's face.
He smiled and said, "Qingying is really powerful. If we take my uncle's family to Lidu, we can feel at ease."
The two of them have been paying attention to the affairs of Lizhou City.
I have always been worried about the Shen family.
Now that they know the current situation of the Shen family, they are eating well, having fun, and living a comfortable life in Beiliang Guoli, and they are completely relieved.
Gu Xiao smiled and said: "There are always many ways to clear the shadow."
He also wanted to leave Tianyuan Kingdom and go to Beiliang.
It would be great to be able to reunite with my family, but I also know that this is all a delusion.
Gu Xiao tried his best to stay at home with Li Jingyi in the next few days.
The relationship between the two of them is getting better and better with this company.
Gu Xiao was lucky and avoided a big trouble.
If there are lucky people like Gu Xiao, of course there will be unlucky ones.
The officials who were assigned tasks by the emperor were all miserable.
