The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Tu Lanying felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She firmly believed that she had not poisoned anyone, so she hurriedly held up her hands for the imperial physician to check.

The imperial physician who had been left behind to test the poison took a silver needle and found that it was gradually turning black.

Lan Ying's expression changed along with the silver needle. He shook his head in disbelief: "No... It's not me!"

But Gu Shichong only gave a look, and the people from the Ye Ting Division arrested Lan Ying.

Lan Ying cried, "Your Highness Prince Gong! Please consider that my father has always been loyal and abided by his duties! Your Highness, please believe that I am truly wronged!"

It would have been fine if Tu Yuxian wasn't mentioned, but once he was mentioned, Gu Shichong became even more furious.

If what Xue Zhiyi said was true, and Lan Ying poisoned him, then it was almost certain that Tu Yuxian betrayed his master.

He only glanced at Gu Shimin, but saw that he was still watching the show in amazement.

Gu Shichong stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Grandmother, although this person is a government official's wife and is also close to you, the crime she committed is extremely serious and cannot be forgiven lightly. I ask for your permission to take her to the Ye Ting Division to await your punishment!"

The Queen Mother looked at all this with a look of pity in her eyes, but she glanced at Huo Wuyou calmly, then closed her eyes and waved her hand: "You guys, take care of it."

Hearing this, Gu Shichong bowed and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first."

If there is something wrong with Tu Yuxian, then as his mother said, the evidence provided by Tu Lanqin is also problematic.

Damn it...his cronies had already submitted memorials, why did he only find out about this today!

He couldn't stay in the palace any longer. If everything was really a trap set by Gu Shimin, and he realized the problem now, there might still be a chance to turn things around.

So he hurried away with the people from the Ye Ting Si.

Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Huo Wuyou.

Just now, Huo Wuyou's reaction to Xue Zhiyi made him very dissatisfied.

Huo Wuyou was also looking at him. When they looked at each other, there seemed to be the flash of swords and sabers in an instant.

As soon as Gu Shichong left, Gu Shimin did not stay long and said goodbye and left.

Huo Wuyou wanted to leave, but the queen mother suddenly called him, "Wuyou, talk to grandma."

Then, the palace maids and eunuchs in the main hall withdrew one by one, leaving only the two of them, the grandfather and the grandson.

Huo Wuyou paused, and when he turned around, he was already grinning from ear to ear, and sat down obediently beside the empress dowager: "Grandmother."

But she didn't expect that the first thing the Queen Mother asked was, "How is that girl Zhiyi?"

Huo Wuyou said truthfully: "I took the antidote and it's fine now."

The Queen Mother snorted secretly, "I noticed that the girl was not right today, and I suspected that you two were the ones who did it."

Huo Wuyou smiled and said, "Grandmother is very good at predicting things."

"Just be aware of what you are doing." Then she changed the subject: "But how can you let the woman you love take such a risk?"

Almost in an instant, Huo Wuyou was stunned and didn't know which word the empress dowager said to refute.

"I... am not... I..."

Seeing his face flushed instantly, the Queen Mother held her forehead and looked him up and down: "Nothing? Do you think I'm really blind?"

Ignoring Huo Wuyou who was on the verge of collapse, the Queen Mother asked, "Do you know how much you look like your mother?"

"Mother?" Huo Wuyou was stunned.

The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head: "When your father entered the palace and was conferred a title, your mother was just like you. She was clearly overjoyed, but she pretended not to care. The way you look at Zhiyi now is exactly the same as your mother's. How could I not notice it?"

As she spoke, she smiled at Huo Wuyou and said, "I wasn't quite sure at first, but when I learned that you were in a hurry to see Zhiyi today instead of caring about whether I was poisoned, I knew that you were worried about that girl."

Huo Wuyou's lips twitched slightly as he quietly observed the empress dowager's expression.

To be honest, he didn't want his grandmother to see his thoughts. He was worried that his grandmother would be dissatisfied with Zhiyi because of her identity and engagement, and even suspected that Zhiyi was pestering him.

But the Queen Mother tapped his forehead and said, "Grandmother is not that kind of old coffin, and she will not be embarrassed. You just need to show some courage and protect whoever you like, instead of letting her suffer like this today."

Hearing this, Huo Wuyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately retorted: "Grandma, I don't know about today's plan..."

"Stop talking." The Queen Mother scolded him, "If there is anything wrong with her, you will be the one who will regret it in the future."

As she spoke, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she sighed slowly: "Your parents are both people of deep affection and loyalty. At first, I didn't want your mother to marry a military commander who licked blood on the tip of a knife, but they were in love with each other and insisted on each other, so I gave in."

Until this moment, she showed a worried look on her face: "Grandmother naturally hopes that you can marry a simple girl with a simple family background, but after all, the child born by your parents' two lovers is most likely also a little lover. If you can't get what you want, I'm afraid you will be trapped."

I don’t know if it was because I was thinking about my parents or Xue Zhiyi, but Huo Wuyou felt a little sad.

"Grandma, I understand everything. I will clear my parents' names, and Zhiyi and I will protect each other's lives no matter what. Don't worry."

She smiled lovingly: "No matter what, whether the matter is accomplished or not, the most important thing is people. Your lives must not be harmed. Do you understand?"

……

Prince Gong's Mansion.

Gu Shichong urgently summoned Tu Yuxian to come.

Apparently, Tu Yuxian still didn't know about Tu Lanying's situation, and he just said to Gu Shichong in a flattering manner, "Your Highness, the people from Chunfeng Tower are already in custody at the Dali Temple. Tomorrow is the day for the search, and by then we will surely be able to find evidence that Prince Cheng used Chunfeng Tower to collect information from the court."

Gu Shichong had a stern face and was full of suspicion when facing Tu Yuxian.

"Tu Yuxian, are you sure Chunfenglou is really Gu Shimin's secret agent?"

Tu Yuxian said quickly, "My son saw it for sure. The people from Chunfeng Tower said it themselves that they were working for Prince Cheng. As soon as the incident happened, I had already detained the people from Chunfeng Tower. Even if they wanted to destroy the evidence, it was too late."

"What this king wants is to be absolutely sure."

When Gu Shichong stood up and walked towards Tu Yuxian, Tu Yuxian's neck shrank and he knelt on the ground.

Looking down from above, Gu Shichong said coldly: "What if I was wrong from the beginning, and all this was actually a trap set by you and Gu Shimin?"

Tu Yuxian's back shuddered, and he bowed quickly, saying, "Your Highness! My life and property are in your hands! How can you doubt me?"

With his life and property in his hands, who can guarantee that Tu Yuxian will not betray him in order to escape this control?

Looking at Tu Yuxian's trembling back, Gu Shichong's eyes became colder and colder.

The memorial to criticize Gu Shimin has already been submitted and cannot be taken back. Now, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

Even if Chunfeng Tower was not Gu Shimin's secret agent, it must be and can only be now!

Seeing that Gu Shichong didn't say anything, Tu Yuxian said cautiously: "Your Highness...I have something to report."

"explain."

Gu Shichong walked slowly as if he was strolling in a garden.

Tu Yuxian said, "Your Majesty has sent someone to assist me in handling the case."

"Who?"

"Marquis of Lin'an."

Gu Shichong sneered: "Huo Wuyou?"

Tu Yuxian said: "It is your majesty's intention."

Gu Shichong couldn't help but narrow his eyes: What does your majesty mean by sending a waste?
