Chapter 263 Something Big Happened

Doctor Gu had no idea what was happening in his mansion. He left the Gu mansion smoothly and came to the vicinity of Prince Yu's mansion.

Then he met with Concubine Hui through the back door that had been prepared long ago.

Concubine Hui also knew that he would come, so she sent all the maids away in advance and left a relatively weak candle.

Because she said that she was afraid of the dark and liked to sleep with a light on at night, even if the room was lit, it would not arouse the suspicion of the servants in the mansion.

"Are you here?"

Concubine Hui glanced at Doctor Gu, who was dressed in black and wrapped himself tightly.

Doctor Gu nodded, took off his outer robe, and felt the warm temperature in the room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The delay of the full moon banquet is probably related to the snowstorm in Beifeng City that His Royal Highness the King of Hell mentioned before."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui couldn't help but sneer.

"I know about this. The granaries in the imperial city have been almost emptied, and food has been transported there from other places. Among them, a million taels of silver are stored in Beifeng City. I don't know what the Regent King is planning. What snowstorm? I don't believe a word of it."

Doctor Gu naturally thought so.

Not only him, 90% of the people in the court didn't believe this was true.

They all thought that the Regent King hoarded money and food, and he was suspected of wanting to rebel.

Even many court officials were discussing whether the Regent Prince was tired of sitting on his chair and wanted to change to a dragon chair. Imperial

Physician Gu was also a little worried. Three days would be half a month, and not even a snowflake had fallen in the past few days.

"If the Regent Prince loses the support of the people because of this incident, it might just give us an opportunity. Then..."

The two of them conspired here until dawn.

Imperial Physician Gu did not sleep all night. He reorganized the plan with Concubine Hui, and then he yawned and returned to the door of Gu Mansion.

But when he saw that the door of Gu Mansion was open, many guards were going back and forth inside and outside, and bursts of crying came from inside, he was stunned for a moment.

What happened in this mansion?

The coachman who drove the carriage was the confidant of the imperial physician Gu. He quickly instructed, "Old Ma, go inside and ask what happened."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, the coachman came back. The

other party's face was very ugly.

"Sir, just last night, an assassin broke into the mansion and you were assassinated. The substitute you arranged before is dead."

Imperial physician Gu widened his eyes in shock, "What?"

His mind was in a mess, and he was already in a daze sitting in the carriage.

He was just an imperial physician, and he had never offended anyone in the court. How could someone want to kill him?

Was it Concubine Hui?

Impossible, the plan between the two was imminent, and she could not tear her face with him at such a critical moment, so it could not be her!

Who could it be?

An idea suddenly occurred to Doctor Gu.

Could it be that the Regent King had noticed his plan?

This idea became clearer and clearer in his mind, and he felt that it was very likely.

Perhaps there was something wrong with his performance in front of the other party, which aroused Ling Fengxun's suspicion, so the other party arranged a killer to get rid of him. Excluding

those impossible factors, the result that can still be thought of may be the most real.

Doctor Gu hurriedly said: "Reverse the car, don't go back yet, find an inn to rest for the time being, and observe the follow-up before talking about it."

Xiaoyu had a fever last night.

Early this morning, An Yunxi planned to send someone to find Doctor Gu.

As a result, as soon as the person arrived at Gu's house, he quickly ran over to report the news: "Princess, something happened to Doctor Gu!"

An Yunxi was slightly stunned, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes: "What happened?"

"Last night, there was an assassin in Gu's house, and Doctor Gu was killed!"

This made An Yunxi stunned on the spot.

Ling Fengxun, who hurriedly walked in from outside, also heard the news, and there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.

"Assassinated?"

As soon as he spoke, the messenger immediately told all the news he had found out, and the two of them were silent at the same time.

Doctor Gu was suddenly killed, which was not good news for them.

Ling Fengxun glanced at An Yunxi, but found that An Yunxi immediately turned her head away and lowered her head to coax Xiaoyu, who was feeling a little uncomfortable, without even looking at him.

Ling Fengxun couldn't help but touch his nose and coughed. It was obvious that Xier was a little angry.

It was also his fault. He had not been able to control himself these days and was kicked out of the room last night.

"I will send someone to the Gu Mansion to investigate carefully, and I will also arrange for someone to find another doctor to diagnose Xiaoyu."

An Yunxi touched Xiaoyu's forehead with some heartache, and then he urged: "As soon as possible, and also, we must find the murderer who killed Doctor Gu and give an explanation to Master Gu."

They were not familiar with Doctor Gu.

Therefore, when I heard that Dr. Gu had died, I just felt a little sorry in my heart.

In addition, during this period of time, the other party was working as a coward in the house. If something happened to their family, he would have to help him out.

Ling Fengjin immediately set off with the guards in the mansion and headed straight for Gu's mansion.

There was already chaos in the Gu Mansion.

Mr. Gu was now able to get out of bed. When he heard that the prince was coming, he immediately went out to greet him personally.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, Mr. Gu knelt down in front of Ling Fengjin.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to the prince!"

Ling Fengjin respected Mr. Gu very much and quickly bent down to help him up.

"Please stand up, old man."

Gu Lao insisted, "Please, Your Majesty, help me catch those who dared to commit murder in Gu's house!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Ling Fengxun had a serious expression.

This matter should not be underestimated. No matter what, Judge Gu was an official appointed by the court. He must catch the murderer and give an answer.

This was Ling Fengxun's territory, not a lawless place.

"Someone come."

"Your subordinates are here!"

Behind Ling Fengxun, several figures immediately half-knelt down.

"Where is the body? Take me to have a look."

Old Master Gu was also helped up, and staggered to the place where Gu's body was placed.

However, what Ling Fengxun saw was a burnt corpse.

The coroner who had examined the body reported, "Your Highness, Lord Gu was stabbed in the throat by a sword, and the body was burnt, which shows that the murderer had a deep hatred for him." Ling

Fengxun opened a little of the white cloth covering the body, looked at the unrecognizable body, and immediately covered the cloth again.

Ling Fengxun said in a deep voice, "Has anyone seen the murderer's appearance?"

Two palace guards not far away immediately answered, "There were about three assassins. They were discovered by us when they were trying to assassinate you, but they were all masked and had great skills. We were no match for them and could not stop them at all. One of them had fought with several of us and had a knife wound on the back of his hand."

Ling Fengxun nodded when he heard it.

Afterwards, he stood with his hands behind his back and immediately ordered: "Seal off the imperial city, start from here, search every house, dig three feet into the ground, and catch the murderer for me!"
