Zhao Shu walked out of the palace and saw a man walking towards him.
He was a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a proud and spoiled look on his face, and he passed by Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu looked at him.
"Sixth brother."
The Sixth Prince looked at Zhao Shu, snorted, and ignored him.
"My third brother is getting married tomorrow. If I am free, I must attend his wedding banquet and give him my blessing." Zhao Shu continued.
The Sixth Prince left.
Zhao Shu had a gentle smile on his face, as if he didn't care about his arrogance and rudeness. As the person walked past, his expression gradually turned cold.
Lao Liu has capital to be proud of. He has a good uncle and a powerful maternal family. However, the power of his maternal family is far inferior to that of Lao Liu.
He can only rely on himself to move forward step by step.
Once he marries Gu Ying and has the Gu family as his backing, he will be able to compete with Lao Liu.
Lao Liu’s pride won’t last long.
The position of crown prince will be his sooner or later.
Zhao Shu took a step forward and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
When he arrived at the palace gate, a sedan chair was parked there waiting for him.
Zhao Shu got on the sedan chair, lifted it up, and headed towards Prince Rui's mansion.
Zhao Shu sat in the sedan chair, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the curtain at the sedan window was blown open. Zhao Shu looked up and saw a familiar figure.
The figure was very slim, with a slender waist and a profile that exuded a cool and beautiful look.
Zhao Shu's heart skipped a beat. He lifted the curtain and looked outside. His eyes fell on the figure and he could see her face clearly.
It’s really Tangli.
She is actually in the capital.
Yes, the boy from the Wu family has been transferred to the capital, so she naturally came to the capital.
It's just that he deliberately avoided news about her, so he never knew.
I didn't expect to see it on the streets of Beijing.
Even though a year had passed, Zhao Shu's heart was still pounding when he looked at her.
The direction of the sedan chair and her direction were partly the same. Zhao Shu lifted the curtain and stared at her back until she disappeared from view.
Zhao Shu then lowered the curtain and leaned against the wall of the sedan chair, with a lost expression on his face and a somewhat empty mood.
Since he was young, his mother told him that love affairs between children are useless. If he wants to be an emperor, he cannot have such things, as they will become his weakness.
But he is also a human being. As a human being, he has a heart and can be moved.
When the sedan chair stopped at Prince Rui's Mansion, Zhao Shu got off and looked at the palace decorated with lights and full of joy. The melancholy on his face had completely disappeared, leaving only a smile.
Gu Ying has the huge Gu family behind her and the favor of her father, while Tang Li is nothing. His choice is not wrong.
Everything he is doing now is the best choice.
One day, he will climb to the highest position and get whatever he wants.
…
The next day.
Prince Rui's Mansion and the General's Mansion were both busy, joyful and lively.
Zhao Shu was wearing a bright red wedding attire, which made his handsome face look even more handsome. He rode on a tall horse and led a large wedding procession towards the Gu family.
Along the way, there were crowds of onlookers.
The people looked up at the groom on horseback and felt that he was extremely high-spirited.
…
at the same time.
Dali Temple, in the room.
Gu Huainian was sitting on a chair. In front of him stood two officials who had just returned from a journey. These two officials were the ones who had been to Zhujia Village in Hedong County and had returned.
"Sir, we encountered a robbery on the way there. Fortunately, with the help of two mysterious people, we successfully reached Zhujia Village."
"We found Zhu Ergen's residence. There are fifty households in Zhujia Village. We interviewed ten households near Zhu Ergen, and they all confirmed that Zhu Chunjiao is indeed the daughter of Old Man Zhu and Zhu Chen, and the younger sister of Zhu Dagen and Zhu Ergen."
"These dozen families have watched Zhu Chunjiao grow up from birth, so it's impossible that she was adopted."
The two officers told him everything.
Gu Huainian sat upright with a blank expression on his face, but his heart was actually in turmoil.
Gu Ying...is not his sister?
Gu Huainian found it hard to accept for a moment. That was his sister whom he had loved for six years. How could she be fake?
Gu Huainian’s mind flashed through everything that had happened in the past six years, including every moment he and Gu Ying had spent together, and he felt depressed and uncomfortable.
Gu Huainian took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Give me the evidence you have investigated." Gu Huainian said.
The two officers handed the evidence to Gu Huainian.
Among them was a booklet containing testimonies from more than a dozen households.
One of them was Zhu Chunjiao's midwife, who also wrote about some of Zhu Chunjiao's characteristics when she was born, such as the three moles behind her ears.
Gu Ying does have these three moles behind her ears.
However, my sister didn't have it when she was born, and they thought it grew later.
Zhu Chunjiao was a native of Zhujia Village, not his sister.
After Gu Huainian looked through all the evidence, he couldn't help but find it hard to accept.
Gu Ying is indeed not his biological sister.
Gu Ying deceived everyone.
Where did Gu Ying’s jade pendant come from?
Where is his biological sister?
Gu Huainian took another deep breath, drove away the chaotic emotions, and calmed himself down.
Think calmly and analyze calmly.
"Sir, we also captured Zhuyue on this trip," the officer said. "He's in jail."
Gu Huainian's mind moved: "Did Zhuyue go to Zhujia Village?"
"right."
Zhuyue fled from the capital and ran to Zhujia Village. What was he going to do?
If Zhuyue really obeyed Gu Ying, when Gu Ying found out her identity might be exposed, she sent Zhuyue to deal with those key figures, such as the midwife...
That way, it would be even more difficult for him to find out the truth.
If that's the case, is it really Gu Ying who asked Zhuyue to hire someone to kill Tangli?
Why did Gu Ying want to kill Tang Li?
Gu Huainian's mind was working rapidly, sorting out the numerous clues.
These are all speculations and a conclusion can only be made after the trial and evidence is obtained.
"Old Zhang, I'll leave Zhuyue to you." Gu Huainian said to his subordinates.
"Yes, sir."
Gu Huainian looked at the two subordinates who had rushed back from Zhujia Village and said, "Go back and rest, take a shower, and have a good sleep."
"Yes, sir."
Gu Huainian walked out of the room. Outside, the sun was shining brightly, falling on him.
But he felt a little cold.
He didn't know where his lost sister was now, how much she had suffered, or whether she was still... alive.
He actually gave all his love to a person who pretended to be his sister, and did so for six years!
As much as he loved Gu Ying, he hated her at this moment.
He hated himself too.
Why didn't they take it more seriously back then? Instead, the whole family acted like they were possessed and recognized each other as relatives based on a jade pendant?
Gu Huainian closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes becoming deep and clear.
"Choose ten people and follow me to Gu Mansion." Gu Huainian said.
"Yes, sir."
