Seeing that Bei Mingxuan was silent, Bei Ming Yulan said unhappily, "Uncle Jiu, you did this on purpose. Lan'er knows you are smart. Are you really going to watch my father get into such a dilemma like this?
Lan Er knows that Uncle Jiu doesn't like these complicated things, but can you please say something too?"
"You little girl." Bei Mingxuan's eyes were slightly sleepy.
"If Uncle Nine is truly a smart man, how could he allow himself to be ignored? How could he bear to watch his mother be confined to the palace?"
"Lan'er believes that Uncle Jiu will always find a way." Bei Ming Yulan said with unwavering hope. "Uncle Jiu, don't worry. Lan'er will never tell my father what you said."
"Throwing a stone to test the water." Bei Mingxuan said, "Now, we know what the Queen means. She wants to help Bei Mingye and Gu Shijia.
However, the attitude of the General's Mansion is unclear, and the Prince's thoughts are also unknown.
I have to ask my eldest brother to find out what these two families mean before I know what to do.
The only thing we can be thankful for now is that the General's Mansion has kept this matter a secret. If it had gotten out to the people, your father would have been in real trouble."
"That's right." Bei Ming Yulan pondered, "But now we have to know whether Gu Shijia is still innocent, right?"
"No!" Bei Mingxuan immediately denied, "I don't know what the General's Mansion and the Crown Prince mean, how can I do a body examination?"
Bei Ming Yulan understood instantly that it was no longer important whether Gu Shijia was innocent or not. In other words, her innocence was no longer up to her. Gu Shijia's innocence was tied to her own life. Whether she could survive depended on the General's Mansion and the Crown Prince.
If the General's Mansion admitted the affair between the Fourth Prince and Gu Shijia, it would mean that they admitted that Gu Shijia had lost his innocence, and that Gu Shijia would definitely die.
If the prince doesn't care about her innocence and still acknowledges Gu Shijia as the future crown princess, then Gu Shijia can survive.
Bei Ming Yulan, who had figured it out, looked towards Bei Ming Xuan and said, "Uncle Jiu is really smart. How could Lan'er not think of this and not undergo a body examination?
Uncle Jiu, you actually have no intention of competing with the other uncles. If Lan Er can see that you still have a future if you compete, you will find that Uncle Jiu has a future."
"Haha." Bei Mingxuan seemed to have heard a big joke, "Don't talk nonsense, girl. Do you have a grudge against Uncle Jiu? If this is heard by someone with ulterior motives, I, your Uncle Jiu, will be beheaded.
Throughout history, sages and wise men have all been lonely, only drinkers leave their names behind. It would be better for your uncle, Jiu, to embrace this pot of wine and enjoy himself.
"Lan'er doesn't want Uncle Jiu to be beheaded." Bei Ming Yulan promised, "Lan'er wants Uncle Jiu to be safe and happy, and live the life he wants."
Bei Mingxuan patted her head and said, "That's right. Don't go to Uncle Jiu's house today. Go home quickly. Maybe a word from you can help your father."
Bei Ming Yulan smiled mischievously, hugged Bei Ming Xuan's arm and asked, "Uncle Jiu, please take me there."
Bei Mingxuan's carriage stopped in front of the eldest prince's mansion. After Bei Ming Yulan got off and returned to the mansion, the carriage continued to move forward.
As soon as the carriage left, Fu Lin saw the steward of the eldest prince's house, leading a young man towards the eldest prince's residence. "Master..."
Bei Mingxuan only saw the man's back. He frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Check!"
As soon as night fell, the door of Bei Mingxuan's mansion was closed.
Over the years, the people of Shudu City seemed to have become accustomed to the deserted appearance in front of the Ninth Prince's door.
Gu Changan came to the gate of Bei Mingxuan's mansion and looked at the extremely cold and quiet door. She smiled with satisfaction.
She leaped over the wall, but she didn't get caught as she had thought. Instead, she felt a sense of loneliness rising from her feet into her heart, making her feel inexplicably sad.
"Miss Chang'an, why don't you go through the main entrance? If I hadn't seen what Miss Chang'an looks like, I would have hurt her by mistake."
Gu Changan turned around and saw Fu Cheng.
She smiled faintly. "I came to look for your master, but I didn't want anyone to know, so I had to climb over the wall. Why is the courtyard so deserted?"
"It has always been like this." Fu Cheng replied, "Master, there are me and my brother, plus the housekeeper, a few servants and guards, a total of about twenty people."
"Twenty people?" Chang'an thought for a moment and said deliberately, "When I came that day, I had the impression that there should be more than twenty people. Could it be that all the servants and housekeepers in your house fought with me that night?"
Fu Cheng blushed. He knew that some things could not be hidden from Chang'an. Besides, Bei Mingxuan had instructed that if Chang'an guessed it, there was no need to hide it. "These twenty or so people in the mansion are all making it up."
Chang An raised an eyebrow. She understood what he meant, so she stopped asking questions and said, "Take me to find Bei Mingxuan, so I don't have to search room by room."
Fu Cheng led Gu Changan towards the study, "Master, Miss Changan is here to visit."
Bei Mingxuan in the study was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Gu Changan to come.
He stood up and opened the door himself.
I saw Gu Changan, dressed as a man, with his back to the door, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
Bei Mingxuan's eyes widened in surprise, as if he suddenly understood something.
He waved his hand to signal Fu Cheng and Fu Lin who were following behind him to leave.
He glanced at the bright moon in the sky and spoke softly, "As expected of Gu Qingfeng's daughter, one move involves so many forces. But how did you include the eldest prince in your calculations?"
"Why do you think that the eldest prince was involved because of me?" Chang'an had a smile on his face.
"Don't tell me you don't recognize the young man who came to the eldest prince's mansion today?" Bei Mingxuan didn't know when a piece of paper appeared in his hand. He handed it to Gu Changan, "Dongdao Nanhuazi."
Gu Changan said nothing, but just looked at Bei Mingxuan with a smile in his eyes.
Bei Mingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The matter between Gu Shijia and Bei Mingye is inseparable from the Crown Prince. However, if the Emperor asked the First Prince to secretly investigate this matter... it is not just the First Prince who is responsible. After all, the Emperor favors the Crown Prince. Given the Emperor's deep love for the Crown Prince, it should be Right Prime Minister Lin Shangde. After all, Prime Minister Lin is the Crown Prince's man. Unless there is someone who is influencing the Emperor's thoughts."
"Bei Mingxuan, you can guess." Chang An said with a smile, "If I tell you everything, wouldn't it be boring?"
"Eunuch De." Bei Mingxuan confirmed.
Changan smiled and continued, "It's possible."
Bei Mingxuan snorted. He could see that Chang'an didn't want to admit it, but it didn't matter. Didn't she deny it either?
But he had to admire that Gu Chang'an actually arranged the person to be by the emperor's side.
If he hadn't checked on the young man who went to the eldest prince's mansion today, he wouldn't have known that the man was Nan Huazi.
