Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

When the Eighth Prince saw this, he quickly called someone over.

"Someone come quickly and help Eunuch Gao up."

Eunuch Gao, who was being helped up, did not show any face to the Eighth Prince. He broke away from the soldier's support, snorted and left.

In order to let the Eighth Prince take the blame better, Xiao Mobai took the initiative to explain to the Eighth Prince why he did not allow anyone to enter the courtyard.

"This courtyard was originally the residence of the Crown Princess. There are also the Crown Princess's clothing and supplies inside, so it is not convenient for the Emperor's uncle to send people in."

The ministers originally followed the eighth prince's words and speculated whether Xiao Mobai was really protecting Gu Qing, but as soon as Xiao Mobai explained it, the ministers were able to understand instantly.

Also, as a Crown Princess, it is natural that it is not easy for these subordinates to search the former boudoir.

Xiao Mobai took advantage of this opportunity and continued to propose a solution.

"Let's do this. The emperor will ask people to check other courtyards first. If nothing is found in other courtyards, how about I let you in again?"

As soon as Xiao Mobai said these words, he immediately seemed very considerate and did not seem to be covering up Gu Qing.

Xiao Mobai's move seemed very generous, which made the officials admire him very much. Because as Xiao Mobai, there is no need to explain to anyone.

"it is good."

For this reason, if the Eighth Prince disagrees with Xiao Mobai's words, he will definitely arouse the anger of the officials. So no matter how reluctant he was, he could only agree.

This episode ended, and the soldiers of the Eighth Prince continued to search other corners of Gu Qing's mansion.

After searching for about two hours, several soldiers carried out several boxes from Gu Qing's study.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are waiting in Master Gu's study and have found some things. Please take a look."

Because the emperor was present, they must report back to the emperor first, not their master the Eighth Prince.

A general said and asked his soldiers to open all the boxes that were carried out.

With the sound of "Peng, Peng, Peng", the heavy wooden box was opened by the soldiers, revealing the gold and silver jewelry inside.

The moment he saw the gold, silver and jewelry, the Eighth Prince couldn't be more happy. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, even if the emperor and Xiao Mobai, that little brat, try to protect him, Gu Qing will probably not be able to defend himself at all.

"Bold! Now the evidence is solid, let's see how you continue to quibble!"

The Eighth Prince yelled at Gu Qing, wanting him to confess directly.

"No, this is not something from my house!"

When Gu Qing saw the wooden box filled with gold, silver and jewelry, he naturally wouldn't admit it because it didn't belong to his house.

Now Gu Qing was also filled with questions, wondering who would frame him like this.

But based on today's performance, it shouldn't be anyone other than the Eighth Prince.

But Gu Qing couldn't figure out why the Eighth Prince suddenly wanted to deal with him. After thinking for a long time, Gu Qing found the most likely answer.

It was because Gu Nian was married to Xiao Mobai, and the Eighth Prince had always been at odds with Xiao Mobai.

The ministers didn't know much about this matter, but in addition to being the prime minister, he was also a good friend of the current emperor, and he had heard the emperor talk about it several times.

Not allowing Gu Qing to think any more, the Eighth Prince's voice came over again.

"This is something I personally searched from your home in front of His Majesty and all the ministers. In the face of such irrefutable evidence, you still dare to quibble!"

Not allowing Gu Qing to say anything else, the Eighth Prince winked at his soldiers and asked them to put the shackles on Gu Qing.

At this time, even if the emperor no longer wanted Gu Qing to suffer, there was no way to plead for mercy.

"From now on, Gu Qing will be supervised by the Forbidden Army and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

The emperor gave the order, and even if the Eighth Prince's soldiers were reluctant, they could only hand over Gu Qing.

"Brother Imperial, the evidence is irrefutable, shouldn't we just give him death?"

Although he knew that the chance of directly asking the emperor to execute Gu Qing was slim, the Eighth Prince still wanted to give it a try. After all, the crime of corruption was a serious crime committed by Daliang.

The Eighth Prince only thought that Gu Qingzhen had committed corruption, but was discovered by Canglong's people and took the opportunity to punish Gu Qing. But he didn't expect that this matter was Xiao Mobai's conspiracy from beginning to end, and even he himself was the one who was plotted by Xiao Mobai.

Now that both witnesses and physical evidence are available, if it were other officials, the emperor would definitely order their execution. But the Eighth Prince didn't have much confidence in Gu Qing.

Sure enough, as the Eighth Prince expected, the emperor rejected his request.

"There are many doubts about this matter, and I still need to investigate thoroughly. If it is finally confirmed that Mr. Gu is corrupt, I will definitely give you an explanation."

After saying this, the emperor said no more, signaled the father-in-law beside him to close the door of the carriage, and left directly with Lu Qing.

With the emperor's orders, naturally no one dared to torture Gu Qing in private. He was imprisoned in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but the living environment was just a little worse.

On the way back to the palace, the emperor looked at Xiao Mobai.

"Did you do this?"

Although it was a question, the emperor's tone was very certain. Although he didn't lose his temper very much, and he was willing to push back and forth on matters in the court, he still understood the son who had grown up in front of him.

Xiao Mobai has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child. He has always learned what his teacher taught him very quickly.

Xiao Mobai is also very proficient in the constraints of the forces in the court, and he is simply a born emperor.

This is also the reason why the emperor pushed everything to Xiao Mobai. With such an emperor, they will only get better and better.

And he himself may be too weak to stay in the position of emperor for a long time. This was said by the late emperor when he passed the throne. It was only because he was devoted to the people and the Eighth Prince was incompetent and too cruel that the late emperor passed the throne to him.

Xiao Mobai also looked sideways at the emperor, not surprised at all that his father could guess this.

Although my father has a good temper, he is very smart.

"Well, my father is really smart and guessed that his son did it."

Now that he has been guessed, Xiao Mobai will not lie to his beloved father. Then he explained to the emperor his motives for doing so.

"You also know that there are rumors in the outside world that I married Nian'er because of Gu Qing. I took this opportunity to demote Gu Qing out of the capital and save Lu Qing from the murderous hands of the Eighth Emperor Uncle."

"Hmph, that sounds grand. I didn't know you, but you just took this opportunity to avenge that girl Nian Nian and avenge her."

How could the emperor not know that Xiao Mobai had always disliked Gu Qing because Gu Nian had suffered some grievances in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He has not been touched. On the one hand, he is Gu Qing's father, and on the other hand, because he and Gu Qing are good friends.
