At noon, Gu Jinke yawned and walked out of the inner room. He stretched lazily, then slowly put on his clothes layer by layer. With his hair loose, he opened the door and called out, "Xin Shuang!"
Xin Shuang showed up as soon as he was called, smiling: "Your Highness."
Gu Jinke said, "Serve breakfast and tie up your hair."
Xin Shuang responded and waved her hand, and a thin maid came up: "Tie up your hair."
Gu Jinke just sat on the chair, had his hair tied up, then washed up, had breakfast, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage. He went to the Dali Temple in a bright and beautiful outfit.
Lord Li looked at the prince who had just appeared at noon and could only lower his head: "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Highness the Crown Princess."
Gu Jinke's expression turned cold and he sat down in the armchair.
"No need to be polite. I wonder how Mr. Li's results were yesterday?"
Lord Li shuddered suddenly and his face turned pale.
Yesterday, after Xun Ji taught me several methods, the effects were naturally very good. But it was so good that Lord Li's eyes were filled with horror when he thought about it.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is as cruel and violent as her reputation says!
No wonder Her Majesty the Queen sent her to manage the Dali Temple!
Cold sweat broke out on her slightly plump body: "Very good, those people have confessed."
"Hmm." Gu Jinke nodded with satisfaction.
One less reason to work overtime, that’s good! good!
She touched her chin, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What about General Chen? Is she doing well in prison?"
Lord Li shuddered again: "He has been in prison for three days without food or drink. He said he wanted to see Her Majesty to appeal for justice."
"Oh." Gu Jinke responded lazily.
"What a pity. She is corrupt and has embezzled the Air Force's funds. The Queen Mother doesn't want to see her very much. If she wants to see someone, she can only see me."
Lord Li didn't dare to reply. Just remain silent.
The room was silent for a while. Gu Jinke turned a brush around and suddenly said, "Take me to see her."
Lord Li responded with a "Yes."
He took Gu Jinke straight to the deep inside of the prison, where every cell was strictly managed and absolutely soundproofed. Those who could be imprisoned there were generally important officials in the court who had committed serious mistakes. Of course, basically no one who went in could come out alive.
There were no windows in the prison, and naturally no sunlight. There were only a few torches burning dimly.
A burly woman was lying on the dark and damp dry grass. She didn't move even after hearing the footsteps of several people. It seemed that she had fallen asleep.
Gu Jinke waved Lord Li away and said, "You can go down. I want to talk to General Chen alone."
Lord Li hesitated for a moment and carefully reminded Gu Jinke: "Your Highness, the Queen has ordered..."
Gu Jinke interrupted her: "I was the one who exposed her in the memorial. Why are you still worried that I would collude with her and save her?"
Lady Li thought so too. Moreover, she looked at the indifferent Princess Crown Princess. No matter how much she tries to persuade him, what if Her Highness the Princess gets angry and finds a reason to lock her up?
She bowed quickly and left.
Gu Jinke listened to her footsteps gradually fading away, and his eyes fell on the person on the ground: "General Chen, long time no see."
The person on the ground showed no response, and seemed to be unconscious or dead asleep.
Gu Jinke didn't care. He played with a piece of white jade hanging from his body and smiled nonchalantly, "What? Are you still waiting for someone to save you? Let me think about it, who are you waiting for?"
"Queen? No, no, my mother has always hated evil, how could she not know that you were corrupt and embezzled money?"
"Oh, I remember now. It's the Fifth Princess. You are her right-hand man, but she is still far away at the border. You have been hungry for three days. How can you continue to be hungry?"
The tone of her voice always seemed nonchalant, indifferent and cold.
The man on the ground couldn't stand it, and he turned over and sat up: "Gu Jinke, you killed loyal people and framed me, you will be punished sooner or later!"
"Oh? I heard before that the highest level of a liar is to deceive himself, but I never believed it before. But after seeing you today, I believe it."
Gu Jinke put down the warm jade he was playing with and cast his gaze towards the square-faced woman who looked righteous.
General Chen's pupils shrank for a moment, but he still managed to remain calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Gu Jinke nodded and said, "It's okay if you don't know what I'm saying. You just need to confess. As for... I killed loyal people and framed you, I think we can add one more thing. What do you think of forcing you to confess?"
"Let me think about it carefully. Tomorrow, the whole Jin Dynasty will know that Her Highness the Princess framed Zhongliang, who was wronged and finally forced to confess by Her Highness the Princess. ... Hmm... Not bad, not bad, enough to arouse public indignation. General Chen, please sign and seal your name today."
General Chen sneered and lay back down.
Gu Jinke exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my!" "I thought you were pretending to be stupid, but it turns out you are really stupid."
"If you confess the facts today, you can at least save the lives of your mother, father, husband and children. You can be exiled a thousand miles away. If you don't confess, do you want to wait for the evidence to be submitted and then exterminate your three clans? You are just an unimportant pawn in the hands of the Fifth Princess. How can you be so loyal to her?" She shook her head with an expression that said, "You are really cruel."
Veins popped out on General Chen's forehead. But he remained silent.
Gu Jinke shook his head regretfully and turned to leave.
The pure warrior was just a little stupid. She originally wanted to protect other people who were implicated by her. She seemed to remember that Mr. Chen was a truly kind person.
It seems that I have to ask Xun Ji to send the evidence as soon as possible, so that today's words will rot in General Chen's stomach, so that General Chen will not realize it later and affect her lazy life.
Perhaps people would be particularly clear-headed at the critical moment of life and death. Before Gu Jinke completely stepped out of this area, General Chen suddenly said in a hurry: "Wait, Your Highness the Crown Princess."
Gu Jinke turned around and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
This time she turned around and went back much faster. In a short while, she walked out briskly and asked Lord Li to bring people in to sign the contract.
Lord Li opened his eyes wide in surprise. : "She...she...she confessed?"
Could it be that he was tortured into confessing?
Gu Jinke glanced at her and went straight back to his office in the Dali Temple.
Today's version of the princess's cruelty and violence is complete: she was tortured into confessing, completed.
The news that General Chen had confessed spread quickly throughout the court and the country, and the petition of apology was quickly delivered to the Empress' desk.
The empress had just woken up from a nap, and only one chief steward, Fang Rui, was accompanying her in the bedroom.
Emperor Yuan Qing had been busy with cases for many years and was thin. Because he is usually serious and upright, he has an extremely majestic temperament, a pair of black eyes are dark and deep, but the contours of his facial features are still handsome. When she picked up General Chen's letter of apology, her eyes couldn't help but shrink and emitted a sharp light.
Fang Rui, who was following behind him, felt a chill all over his body and the atmosphere became tense.
Emperor Yuan Qing opened the memorial, read ten lines at a glance, and was so angry that he threw the memorial to the ground: "Good! Good! Very good! I allocate funds to the frontier soldiers every year, hoping that my Great Jin will have a strong army. They... How dare they..."
Fang Rui hurried to pick up the scattered papers. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the names and numbers in them out of the corner of her eye and was also startled.
Oh my god.
How daring! So many people joined together and almost ate up half of the military pay!
If the army can’t suppress it... She shuddered and dared not think about it anymore. He hurriedly sent the memorial back to the imperial desk and made up his mind to be a quail.
But soon, the empress made a decision: "Go, pass on my order, and let the princess copy the list of General Chen's confessions for me one by one. Then draft an order to let the fifth princess return to the capital! I want to ask her how she guards the border!"
"Yes." Fang Rui responded and hurriedly retreated to summon the officials from the Hanlin Academy to draft the imperial edict.
Gu Jinke, who was in the Dali Temple, soon received the imperial edict from the palace. Gu Jinke, who had thought that he did not have to work overtime today, was quite speechless when holding the imperial edict.
How could the Queen be so diligent? She dealt with it immediately after it was sent to her.
She slumped down in the chair, sitting lazily: "Lord Li, prepare the troops, Xun Ji, go and arrange the carriage."
Lord Li had just heard the imperial edict. There were so many people there, and they were trembling with fear when they heard Gu Jinke's order.
He immediately agreed and went down to prepare.
Judging from the situation, wasn't General Chen's embezzlement of food and money a frame-up by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess? But is it true?
But, it doesn’t make sense!
Lord Li fell into deep confusion and brainstorming.
She didn't have time to think about it.
Xun Ji arranged the carriage and invited Gu Jinke to sit.
The interior of the carriage was decorated very luxuriously.
The entire space was covered with priceless blankets from foreign lands. The entire carriage was like a small inner room, fully equipped with bedding, tables and chairs. Food and snacks have been prepared, and there are even musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting to pass the time.
Everything is a famous brand that is in short supply.
Gu Jinke only glanced at him calmly, pulled the quilt over his bedding, covered his head, and ordered: "Search the house carefully, and call me after the search. Don't wake me up during the process, otherwise...! Humph!"
Lord Li, who was about to report something, choked on his words and glanced at Xun Ji.
Xun Ji kept silent and said calmly, "His Highness has already ordered that when we search the house later, please keep the noise down. If there are any cries or disturbances, please ask Lord Li to deal with them in time."
Lord Li swallowed bitterly and quickly arranged a team of people to specifically silence them.
Her superior should come back from vacation soon, she can't stand Her Highness the Princess Royal. This is only Her Highness the Princess Royal's third day in office at the Dali Temple.
General Chen was arrested on the first day.
On the third day, they pulled out all the dirt and wiped out everyone in one fell swoop! Now the process has reached the stage of house search!
Your Highness, you are so terrifying!
Pedestrians on the road and residents and merchants on the street saw the officers from the Dali Temple marching in a solemn procession, and they were all curious about whose house had been searched again. There was a moment of silence until they saw the iconic luxurious carriage behind them, and then they quickly scattered in fear.
It's Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess' carriage!
Xun Ji glanced at the people around him who were avoiding the carriage as if they were snakes and scorpions. He opened and closed his lips, then closed them silently. His eyes quietly swept across the carriage behind him. His back unconsciously straightened a little, and his eyes brightened slightly.
