Let’s talk about the emperor’s younger brother Gu Tingyu and the daughter of the Duke of Zhen, Leng Shuang.
The two of them were walking in the Royal Garden when they suddenly heard a sharp scream. Gu Tingyu's expression changed and he hurried towards the direction of the sound.
When Gu Tingyu arrived, he found that the place was surrounded by the Forbidden Army and the Royal Forest Army, including a group of imperial guards. This scene shocked Gu Tingyu. "
"General Gu, help me." When Liu Yuhua saw Gu Tingyu coming, he cried immediately, "General Gu, you must not be deceived by this traitor. Look at this traitor who stole His Majesty's things and tried to slander the imperial court.
Your Majesty, please be aware of the situation and severely punish this animal to serve as a warning to others!"
"Shut up!" Gu Tingyu glared at Liu Yuhua, his eyes full of contempt.
"Your Majesty, this person is lying. These rewards were not stolen by me." Liu Yuhua still insisted that he did not steal anything. "Your Majesty, you cannot be deceived by traitors. Our master will never do such a thing that damages the honor of the royal family."
As for the matter, he definitely has no rebellious intentions."
"Haha..." Hearing what Liu Yuhua said, the emperor laughed and said, "Liu Yuhua, Liu Yuhua, you still refuse to admit it."
"I don't dare! I'm just telling the truth," Liu Yuhua said.
"Fact? What a fact!" The emperor sneered, "Tell me, which of my rewards can you, Liu Yuhua, touch?"
"This..." Liu Yuhua was stunned.
The emperor sneered and said: "Let me tell you, although these rewards are given to you Liu family, they are my private property. You are a little housekeeper, what qualifications do you have to take my private property?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Liu Yuhua panicked. He just made a random excuse. How could he know that the emperor had so many rewards, even top-notch treasures?
This reason obviously did not satisfy the emperor.
"Drag him down and kill him with a stick." The emperor said calmly, "If anyone blocks it, he will be punished with the same crime."
Liu Yuhua's eyes widened and he looked at the emperor in horror. He had done something wrong in this matter. He was willing to receive the punishment, but he should not be killed like this. He was the eldest son of the Liu family. Could this really be the case?
Did he die in vain? He was not willing to accept it!
However, no matter how he begged for mercy, it was of no use. Liu Yuhua was soon taken away, and the imperial guards and imperial guards also began to take action.
Gu Tingyu stood silently and did not participate in it.
This matter is of great importance and must be reported to my father for his decision.
Liu Yuhua was killed with a stick, and the entire Liu Mansion fell into chaos, but calm was restored soon inside and outside the Liu Mansion. After all, the crime committed by Liu Yuhua was so big that it almost involved the entire court. Even if his father was the Duke of Zhenguo, he could not be saved.
he.
Everyone in the Liu family knew that this matter was too big and the Liu family was afraid that they would be in trouble.
The emperor issued an imperial edict the next morning.
The imperial edict clearly mentioned that the Liu family colluded with foreign enemies to rebel, and Liu Yuhua was the chief culprit.
Everyone in the Liu family was killed!
The whole Liu family was slaughtered overnight, and the people in the capital were talking about who was so bold as to dare to destroy the entire Liu family, and this was at a time when the power of the imperial court was at its strongest.
This incident made the atmosphere in the Gu family tense.
However, after the emperor issued this decree, he summoned Gu Tingyu into the palace and asked him a question——
"Who is the person Liu Yuhua colluded with? Do you have anyone you suspect?"
"Wei Chen doesn't know, but Wei Chen knows that if this matter is really related to him, then his target must be His Majesty." Gu Tingyu replied.
The emperor nodded, "I understand. You can go back first."
After coming out of the Qianyuan Palace, Gu Tingyu went home directly. He needed to find out what happened as soon as possible and then go into the palace to report to his father.
After Gu Tingyu left, there was a sudden knocking sound in Qianyuan Hall.
"Come in." The emperor's deep and rich voice sounded.
A dark figure flashed out of the darkness, knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "My subordinate is not doing well, please punish me, master."
"Are you sure you didn't leave any clues about what you were doing?" The emperor's tone was slightly higher, and he seemed a little angry.
"This subordinate has neglected his duty," the kneeling man said.
"Forget it, let's end this matter for now." The emperor waved his hand and said, and then asked: "How are you doing with the things I asked you to investigate during this period?"
"Master, those things are indeed in the hands of Duke Zhenguo Leng Shuang, but she did not hand them over to anyone. The subordinates sent people to stare at them for a long time, but nothing was found." The kneeling man replied.
"Since she didn't give it to anyone, it proves that these things are still with Leng Shuang. You continue to send people to monitor Leng Shuang. I want to make sure that those things are still in her hands." The emperor ordered.
"Yes, Master." The kneeling man accepted the order and then disappeared into the night.
........
After Gu Tingyu came back from Qianyuan Hall, he went straight to his study, intending to report the matter to his father.
However, Gu Tingyu did not expect that as soon as he walked to the door of the study room, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
"Husband, tell me, who did this?" came a soft voice.
Gu Tingyu frowned when he heard this, stepped lightly, slowly opened the door to the study, and walked inside.
When everyone in the study heard the door open, they all turned around and saw a young couple sitting next to the desk.
The man is handsome and handsome, with regular features. He is wearing a dark blue robe, a gold silk ornament with auspicious cloud patterns on his waist, and a jade crown on his head. He looks gentle, elegant, and elegant. It is Gu Haichuan, the Duke of Zhenguo. The woman has a beautiful appearance and a skin as bright as snow.
Charming figure.
"Husband, should we investigate this matter? I always think it's not that simple," the woman said.
"Check." Gu Haichuan nodded, and then said: "But this matter should not be rushed."
"Well, I think so too, so this matter needs to be settled slowly," the woman said.
After hearing their conversation, Gu Tingyu's face turned gloomy. He finally knew why Liu Yuhua suddenly betrayed him. It turned out to be because of this incident!
He just said that Liu Yuhua has always been a loser. How could such a person plan such a plan, unless his head was cramped.
At this time, the woman named Leng Shuang also raised her head. When she saw Gu Tingyu standing at the door, she was immediately frightened. She never expected that this matter would be exposed and that the person involved would be caught.
On!
"Why are you here? Haven't you been demoted to Nanling to guard the border?" Leng Shuang asked in a trembling voice, and her legs could not help but tremble.
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Is it you?" Gu Tingyu uttered three words through gritted teeth, then strode in, stretched out his hand, pinched Leng Shuang's neck, and said sternly: "I'm going to kill you!"
"Ahem...Gu Tingyu, are you crazy? You actually want to kill me!" Leng Shuang struggled, but couldn't break free from Gu Tingyu's grip.
"You killed my wife and children and ruined my marriage. Today, I will kill you!" Gu Tingyu roared angrily, his eyes red, as fierce and bloodthirsty as a beast!
"Haha... Gu Tingyu, don't forget, your mother-in-law is still your savior! If it weren't for your mother-in-law, you would have been burned to death in the fire." Leng Shuang said viciously,
"I tell you, if you kill me, the emperor will not let you go!"
"Haha..." Gu Tingyu sneered and let go of Leng Shuang, "Leng Shuang, I am no longer your fiancé. You should still worry about yourself."
After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, what did you mean by what you just said? Does your mother's death have something to do with me?" Leng Shuang chased after him, grabbed Gu Tingyu's sleeve, and asked eagerly.
Gu Tingyu stopped and glanced at Leng Shuang coldly, "What do you think?"
Leng Shuang was stunned.
She never expected that Gu Tingyu knew about this.
Leng Shuang's face turned pale instantly.
"You...how do you know this?" she murmured.
"You don't have to worry about how I know." Gu Tingyu's expression was extremely cold. He threw away Leng Shuang's arm and left the study without hesitation.
Leng Shuang watched Gu Tingyu leave blankly, feeling a deep sense of sadness in her heart. He was her fiancé, but he didn't believe her at all!
"Don't you love me? Why don't you believe me?!" Leng Shuang cried heartbrokenly.
"Leng Shuang, I thought you were a good girl, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Let's break off the engagement. You go back, pack your things, and leave the Gu Mansion immediately!"
Gu Tingyu's words were like a sharp knife piercing Leng Shuang's heart.
Leng Shuang's eyes widened in disbelief, and then she said with a sad smile: "Okay, I'm leaving! I, Leng Shuang, marry a chicken, a chicken, a dog, any dog. I have always followed your instructions since I was a child. I have never
I have disobeyed you, and I have even done a lot of things for you, but you actually broke off the engagement just because you said you wanted to? Let me tell you, I don’t care! "
After that, Leng Shuang left the study without looking back.
In the study, Gu Tingyu stood in a daze, his whole heart feeling empty.
He did not believe that Leng Shuang would harm his mother, he would rather believe that Leng Shuang was innocent.
But the current situation shows that Leng Shuang is the mastermind behind the scenes, because she is from the Zhenguo Palace, and the royal family and the emperor will never allow the prince to marry such a snake-hearted woman!
Gu Tingyu clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger!
"Bang!" Gu Tingyu smashed the tea cup in his hand!
His mother also died at the hands of this bitch because of her own negligence!
"Here comes someone!" Gu Tingyu shouted outside.
The servants quickly ran in and knelt down in front of Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu looked at them and said with cold eyes: "Take that woman to the woodshed!"
The servants nodded in panic, and then quickly ran out to find the woman.
In a moment, the woman was brought to Gu Tingyu.
Leng Shuang's hands and feet were tied and thrown to the ground, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and she was trembling all over. She was obviously frightened.
Seeing Leng Shuang in such an embarrassing state, Gu Tingyu couldn't help but snorted and said, "Tell me, why are you doing this?"
Leng Shuang shook her head desperately, but her mouth was gagged and she couldn't speak at all.
"I hate it when people lie to me!" Gu Tingyu said coldly, "If you tell me well now, I might consider letting you go."
Hearing Gu Tingyu's threat, Leng Shuang's eyes flickered. Finally, she suddenly yelled a few words and then struggled violently. Gu Tingyu quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
Gu Tingyu tore off the cloth in Leng Shuang's mouth with all his strength. Leng Shuang was freed and immediately breathed in the fresh air. Then she raised her head, her eyes were cracked, and she stared at Gu Tingyu viciously.
"Gu Tingyu, let me tell you, do you dare to kill me? If you dare to kill me, the emperor and the queen mother will not let you go!" Leng Shuang roared in a hoarse voice. She really didn't expect that Gu Tingyu actually wanted to kill her. She
I always thought I knew him very well, but I didn't expect that I was wrong this time.
Hearing Leng Shuang's words, a hint of ridicule appeared on Gu Tingyu's eyebrows. He said coldly: "Leng Shuang, I will give you another chance. If you are willing to tell the truth, I may even spare your life."
, but if you persist in your stubbornness, I guarantee you will not survive for half a year. You should know that I have this ability!"
"I..." Leng Shuang opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that after she died, the blame of her father and brother would fall on them! Although she was not
She knew exactly what kind of person the emperor was, but she knew her father and brother very well. As long as she died, they would definitely suffer! This chapter has been completed!
