Chapter 319 Kneeling straight in Junze's direction
Gu Yu knew that the Holy Emperor was impatient and did not want this matter to drag on for too long. He was about to recover for three days, so he handed a note to the palace saying that he had recovered.
The Holy Spirit sent a few words of concern and gave some medicinal materials, which also gave the people of Kyoto a direction.
What Gu Yu wanted to investigate was approved by the Holy Spirit.
Many officials felt the taste and admired Gu Yu's ruthlessness towards them.
Back then, Concubine Yun was caught out at a palace banquet, and many wives and palace officials saw the erotic scene.
The late emperor had no time to intercept it, and the news had already spread.
Anyway, the late emperor's chaotic harem caused a lot of secrecy and lice, so if the current emperor had not ascended the throne, this matter would have been forgotten long ago.
Prince An's rebellion was an old matter brought up again, causing rumors to spread. This time, even the rumor that the Holy Emperor was not of royal blood came out, which was quite heartbreaking.
What Gu Yu has to do now is to clear up the case of the Holy Emperor's biological mother's obscenity in the harem, clarify the Holy Emperor's bloodline, and finally put pressure on the historian to change the records of that year.
It is not difficult to cleanse Baiyun Concubine, as long as it is said that there are other concubines who deliberately framed her, but in fact the guards are actually eunuchs pretending to be eunuchs.
The difficulty lies in getting the eyewitnesses to come forward and give false testimony.
Everyone knows the truth.
Gu Yu forcibly cleared her name and brought out these married women who had spent their old age peacefully, letting the Holy Lord know that you were the one who saw the unbearable scene of my biological mother.
Isn't this just a way to attract the attention of the Holy One?
Even if Gu Yu succeeds in clearing her name and wins the favor of the Holy One, it will not be a good outcome if the married women hide the "truth".
With the Holy Emperor's tacit approval, Gu Yu easily obtained a list from the Ministry of Rites, which was the list of participants for that year's palace banquet.
Decades have passed, and most of those married women and palace officials have passed away. The few who are still alive were very worried when they heard that Gu Yu was going to reopen the old case.
In order to avoid getting burned, most of the married women refused and stayed behind closed doors for various reasons.
Gu Yu suffered from illness and received several rejections.
There were fewer and fewer people on the list, so she told Pingsha to go to the next one.
If everyone on the list has been visited and no one is willing to come forward to commit perjury, the Holy Spirit will have no choice but to intervene.
Those women and their families will inevitably suffer a lot.
As someone who was ordered to conduct a retrial, she could not help but leave the impression of incompetence on the Emperor.
While he was having a headache, a soldier came to Gu Yu's carriage and said, "Young Master Gu, the eldest princess has invited you."
Gu Yu clenched the booklet in her hand, coughed a few times, and said, "Yes, I'll go over there right now."
Gu Yu did not miss the eldest princess. The eldest princess was still young at that time and also attended the palace banquet and witnessed this scene.
In fact, it was most appropriate for the eldest princess to come forward and give false testimony. She had a sibling relationship with the Holy One, so she naturally did not have to worry about the Holy One being hostile to her.
The reason why she hasn't come to the door for a long time is because there are people in the eldest princess's house that she wants to avoid.
Gu Yu coughed a few times, but she remembered that when she was kneeling in Fengtian Hall, Junze passed by her as if he didn't see anything.
She hurt someone like that, why bother to go in front of him and offend him again.
All the way to the eldest princess's residence, Gu Yu secretly prayed that Junze would not be at home. She took Pingsha's hand and walked down cautiously.
Pingsha gave her a crutch. Gu Yu's knee injury was too serious and it would be difficult to walk normally in the short term. It would be easier to have a crutch to support her.
Gu Yu shook her head and refused. The sick look on her face was already ugly enough, and it would be even more embarrassing if she was wearing a cane.
Even if there was even the slightest possibility of meeting Junze, she did not want to show her unbearable appearance in front of Junze.
She endured the pain in her knees and walked slowly into the princess mansion.
All the way to a courtyard, the eldest princess was leaning on the soft couch at the head in a gorgeous dress. Her maid Qiaosui was squeezing the eldest princess's shoulders, lazily and noblely.
The eldest princess is considered to be the first regent princess since the founding of the Kingdom of Dayu. Gu Yu has heard of many glorious deeds of the eldest princess as regent during that time.
In addition, I also learned from Junze that the late emperor once said, "If the eldest princess is a man, there is hope for the revival of the Yu Dynasty."
Gu Yu was even more in awe of such a woman.
Unfortunately, just a few years after she ascended the throne, the eldest princess relinquished her authority, turned her back on the affairs outside the window, and concentrated on educating Junze.
Seeing Gu Yu come in, Qiao Sui left silently.
This was the first time that Gu Yu was alone with the eldest princess. She suppressed the awe in her heart, slowly knelt down and bowed to the eldest princess respectfully.
When his knees touched the ground, Gu Yu couldn't help but frown.
The eldest princess had a cold look in her eyes and asked directly without shouting: "I heard that Young Master Gu is investigating the suspected case of Yun Bin?"
Gu Yu knelt down and said: "Back to the eldest princess, the lower official is indeed re-investigating according to the decree of the emperor. Looking at the list of the palace banquet, the eldest princess is also among them. The lower official is bold and asks the eldest princess to recall the original situation.
, or it may help to retry the suspicious case."
The eldest princess lowered her eyes. Now, only she, Shengshang and Junze know about the fact that Yunbi is her biological mother.
Gu Yu is a smart man who knows the subtleties. If Gu Yu cannot solve this matter smoothly, Gu Yu will use various means to dig deeper.
Thinking of her crazy mother who cried, laughed and shouted at her, the eldest princess felt sour in her heart.
Poor people under the control of the imperial power, Yun Bin has no control over all her choices.
Who would have thought that the only time that Concubine Yun took control of her own destiny was to try her best to avenge the late emperor with her own life.
Gu Yu was clearing the name of Shengshang's biological mother, and she was also clearing her biological mother. She had no reason not to support it.
Just thinking about her son made the eldest princess extremely sad.
What a bad fate.
The eldest princess looked at Gu Yu and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
Gu Yu did not expect the eldest princess to be so cooperative, so she knelt down and lowered her head and said, "May I ask the eldest princess, what was it like when you saw the empress Yun Bin?"
The eldest princess said: "She is crazy and confused. She is obviously drunk or drugged."
Gu Yudao: "What's going on with that guard?"
The eldest princess said: "The guard was unconscious when he was dragged out. Although his clothes were messy, they were not removed."
Gu Yudao: "Did empress Yun and the guard conduct a detailed autopsy later?"
The eldest princess said: "No, the two people were beaten to death on the spot."
...
Gu Yu and the eldest princess asked and answered questions, and a "wrongfully convicted case" was invisibly produced.
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes, it was so smooth.
Every word seemed to be carefully planned by the eldest princess, and the details were more thoughtful than she expected.
Qiaosui, the eldest princess's maid, brought a fruit plate and winked at the eldest princess.
Seeing this, the eldest princess said to Gu Yu: "I have said everything that needs to be said. If Young Master Gu has nothing else to ask, please just kneel down and pay your respects."
Gu Yu was kneeling from beginning to end, and when he heard the words, he said: "Yes."
The eldest princess waved her hand, and Gu Yu tried to stand up from the ground.
After kneeling for too long, his knees were severely damaged. Gu Yu stumbled before he could stand still.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead due to pain. Gu Yu didn't bother to wipe it off and was about to leave when the eldest princess suddenly said: "Young Master Gu's side wife has already entered the house, and it's almost time for his real wife."
The wedding date to Ji Miaoxian was originally scheduled for April, but Sun Caiwei had already entered the house, so Ji Miaoxian had to marry in advance to help her.
Gu Yu said: "Yes, eldest princess."
The eldest princess said: "It is the right way to have a family and a career with children and grandchildren. Please step aside. The eldest princess's mansion will give you generous gifts when the time comes."
Gu Yu was silent, but the eldest princess still got a clue about the relationship between her and Jun Ze.
She pretended not to know what the eldest princess was saying and said, "Thank you so much, eldest princess."
Walking towards the gate of the eldest princess's mansion with difficulty, Gu Yu was glad in her heart that she didn't run into Junze today.
As they walked up the steps to the front door, Mo Zheyan's voice came from outside: "Hey, Mr. Gu, you are such a rare guest."
Gu Yu looked up and happened to see Jun Ze getting off the horse. The two of them looked at each other unexpectedly.
Gu Yu panicked, her feet were already unstable, and she tripped over the small steps.
With a pop, Gu Yu knelt down in Junze's direction, falling to the ground and losing all face.
