"Miss Gu, do you know who your enemies are?
If we could find out who leaked your identity, we might be able to come up with a solution."
King Kang asked.
Gu Yunsheng shook her head. "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I don't know. Your Highness, I do have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work."
"Miss Gu, tell me what you think."
Gu Yunsheng pursed her lips and said, "I know that people from the Gu Clan are not allowed to appear in the capital. If they are discovered, the outcome will be either being driven out of the capital or being executed.
I don't want to bring trouble to your family because of me. After all, I hid my identity at the beginning, so Mr. Song brought me to Beijing.
If the Emperor wants to hold the Prince accountable for this matter, I wonder if the Prince could take me into the palace to see the Emperor?
I want to explain this to the Emperor in person. No matter what, I want to at least stop him from taking his anger out on your family."
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu exchanged glances.
Ye Peizhu took over and said, "Okay, but the prince will ask the emperor first. If the emperor disagrees, he may not be able to bring you into the palace."
"Yes, I know. This matter was started by me, so it should be ended by me."
There was something behind Gu Yunsheng's words, and Ye Peizhu and King Kang both heard it, but they couldn't figure out the deeper meaning of the words for a moment.
After Gu Yunsheng left, King Kang sent people to investigate where the news of Gu Yunsheng's identity came from in the capital.
At first glance, Gu Yunsheng's matter seems to be about her identity, but the focus is still on Prince Kang's Mansion.
The appearance of the descendants of the Gu Clan in the capital city will not frighten the people, nor will it make them talk about it.
The key point is that this descendant of the Gu Clan lived in Prince Kang's Mansion and had connections with the royal prince, which is why this matter spread so quickly in the capital.
The person who knew Gu Yunsheng's identity and exposed her identity probably not only had a grudge against Gu Yunsheng's mother, but also had a grudge against his Prince Kang's Mansion!
He was trying to take advantage of Gu Yunsheng's incident and drag the Prince Kang's Mansion into this as well!
King Kang figured this out and felt a little emotional.
"Madam, who could have done this? The only people who have a grudge against us are none other than those two.
Could it be that one of them did this?
But I've never heard of any connection between them and Gu Yunsheng's mother or the people in the Gu Clan."
Ye Peizhu held her daughter in her arms and said casually with a calm expression, "Couldn't they have done this together?
Your Highness, there is no point in us speculating on this matter. Let’s wait for the secret guards to investigate.
As for what Miss Gu said just now, I think that Your Highness should not take the initiative to mention Miss Gu to the Emperor.
You should wait until the emperor asks you about your recent affairs in the capital, and then you can tell him what Miss Gu thinks. What do you think, Your Highness?
Otherwise, if we are too proactive, it will appear that we are guilty.”
Sitting in her mother's arms, Song Jiujiu listened carefully to what her mother said and echoed in a baby voice, "Yes! Mother, I'm right!"
Prince Kang couldn't help laughing and reached out to gently pinch his daughter's chubby face.
"You little girl, everything your mother says is right, right?
Why don't you praise Daddy?"
Song Jiujiu wrinkled his chubby face, stretched out his little hands to push away his father's claws, and his big grape eyes were full of disappointment.
[Daddy wants me to praise you, and he also wants you to do something that will make me praise you.
Daddy, please be more careful. 】
King Kang: “…”
Ye Peizhu couldn't help laughing.
Song Jiujiu looked at her mother and smiled, and she also laughed heartily.
Prince Kang shook his head helplessly. "My lady is right. I'll wait until my father mentions this to me, and then I'll tell him."
After King Kang finished speaking, he remembered another thing and asked quickly.
"Oh right, Madam, Father knows that Yu'er was poisoned by the Gu, and now Father also knows that Miss Gu is a descendant of the Gu Clan.
Then, should I take this opportunity to tell Father that Miss Gu has already cured Yu'er of the poison? "
Ye Peizhu almost forgot about this matter. When Prince Kang brought it up, she thought about it.
"You can tell the emperor, but don't be too honest. Your Majesty, do you understand what I mean?
This way, the Emperor will know that Miss Gu is our Yu'er's savior. In view of this, Miss Gu will at least not be in danger of her life."
Prince Kang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I understand. It is settled then."
The couple agreed that the old emperor would call him to the imperial study early the next morning after the court session.
Things happened very quickly, and Prince Kang was extremely grateful that he had informed his wife and Gu Yunsheng in advance yesterday.
"San'er, I've heard the recent rumors in the capital. Do you have any explanation?"
The old emperor sat on the dragon throne with his chin supported, looking lazy.
The words gave King Kang a chance to explain and he was not convicted immediately.
King Kang felt a little relieved.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I can explain this matter. Miss Gu is a friend I met while traveling abroad.
But my son didn't know the identity of the Gu girl as a descendant of the Gu Sect.
Since Miss Gu had no place to stay in the capital, my son and I let her live in the mansion.
Until a few days ago, word suddenly spread in the capital that there were descendants of the Gu Clan in the Prince Kang's Mansion.
I realized later that this descendant of the Gu Clan could be an ancient girl from outside?
I asked Miss Gu and she admitted it.
When I learned about this, I didn't think much about it, but asked Miss Gu to remove the poison from Yu'er first.
Father, you also know that Yu'er was poisoned because of the incident with General Ye's concubine.
I finally met a descendant of the Gu Clan, and the first thing I thought of was to ask her to detoxify Yu'er.
Miss Gu agreed and successfully cured Yu'er of the poison!
I had been planning to report this to you today, but I didn't expect you to summon me first."
After Prince Kang said this, the old emperor's expression changed unpredictably.
"Oh? So, this Miss Gu is Yu'er's savior."
"Yes, Father, Miss Gu has also learned about the rumors circulating in the capital. She wants to explain it to you in person. I wonder if you are willing to meet her?"
