Early in the morning, Master Gu entered the palace.
When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he walked in, limping on one leg, holding his bruised face, screaming "Ouch, Ouch".
The emperor narrowed his eyes when he saw his bruised and battered appearance.
He heard roughly what happened in the Gu family last night.
Pretending not to understand, he stood up anxiously and asked, "Why does Patriarch Gu look like this? What are you doing..."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Gu!"
As soon as Mr. Gu arrived, he started crying miserably.
Thinking about how he had been domineering and arrogant over the years, even the emperor had to show him some courtesy, but he was beaten by Qin Ye until his body was bruised and his bones ached, and he looked as miserable as a drowned chicken.
He couldn't swallow this!
He knelt on the ground, covering his dark panda eyes, and said aggrievedly:
"Last night, Gu held a banquet at home to entertain the young marquis and others. Unexpectedly, the servants in the mansion did not do their job well, which caused a fire in the warehouse, detonating the gunpowder and causing an explosion. Princess Chen beat me like this without knowing right or wrong!"
He is a grown man in his forties, doesn't he have any dignity?
He is angry!
Today, he deliberately took the initiative to take the lead in Qin Ye and filed a complaint first.
The emperor groaned, "She hit you suddenly without any reason?"
"Yes, this explosion was purely an accident. Both Gu and my daughter were seriously injured, but Princess Chen put all the blame on me. Gu is innocent!"
His eyes were red, and he cried out loudly,
"Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to murder Prince Chen and his wife!"
The voice was hoarse, and it sounded like it was real.
That expression, that look, the tears in the corners of the eyes, the acting is superb.
"Your Majesty, the Gu family has cooperated with the royal family for nearly a hundred years. Don't you trust the Gu family?" He pleaded his innocence.
The emperor groaned, "This..."
Out of consideration for his reputation, he naturally didn't want to offend Master Gu.
On the one hand, for decades, the Gu family has continuously provided pig iron to the royal family, making a huge contribution and playing a significant role.
On the other hand, he was not sure whether the detector Qin Ye mentioned could really find iron ore accurately.
As long as he didn't have complete control over the iron industry, he didn't want to target the Gu family for the time being.
After a moment's thought, he asked, "The explosion last night was quite loud, and many people heard it. How are the injuries?"
"Prince Chen and his wife were not injured. The young marquis was injured in the back. Everyone else is fine. On the contrary, Gu and my daughter were the most seriously injured..."
Being injured the most and being beaten is the most unfair thing.
The emperor's eye twitched when he saw Master Gu's aggrieved look.
Looking across the country, I'm afraid Qin Ye is the only one who dares to fight Master Gu... cough!
He sat up straight and said seriously:
"Princess Chen was wrong to hit you. You hosted a banquet for the guests but did not check for safety hazards, which was also a mistake. Since there were no major casualties, let's just forget about it and don't mention it again."
He acts as a peacemaker, making big things small and small things disappear.
Although Mr. Gu was furious, he was still quite satisfied with the result.
If this isn't resolved quickly, Princess Chen will continue investigating and if she finds him, it will be troublesome.
Recalling last night when Qin Ye left, I grabbed his collar and said to him:
'This won't end easily!'
The cold tone, the arrogant look, and the sinister gaze were frightening.
He pretended to be wronged, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said:
"Since this is the emperor's wish, I dare not disobey. In this case, let's just leave it at that."
As soon as the voice fell, a cold voice came from outside the door:
"Who said that's the end of it?!"
