Ge Yuanhui's steps were disordered, and she had long lost her former dignity. When she hurriedly ran up to the hall, her clothes were a little messy. It seemed that even if she was not crazy, she was not far from it. However, she still did not forget to cover the scar on her forehead with her thick hair.
When she saw her parents covered in blood, no matter how much resentment she had in the past, she instinctively knelt on the ground and cried heart-wrenchingly. The guilt and remorse she felt in her confused mind made her suffer as if her heart was being cut out.
"Dad! Mom!"
She cried out at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty! My parents were murdered by a traitor. Please, Your Majesty, see to it!"
The emperor had her helped up and comforted her, saying, "I understand everything. Your father served his country with all his heart. I will not let them die unjustly."
Ge Yuanhui broke away from the person who was holding her and knelt down: "The person who killed my parents is in the palace right now!"
The emperor's heart sank, and he considered whether to let her speak in private. However, Ge Yuanhui was no longer in a clear mind at this moment. Without waiting for the emperor's permission, he looked at Gu Shichong and said, "The person who poisoned is Prince Gong!"
Gu Shichong was shocked and looked at the emperor. The two looked at each other, and Gu Shichong shook his head firmly.
The emperor was speechless and asked Ge Yuanhui, "Noble Lady Shun, do you have any evidence?"
But Ge Yuanhui just grinned grimly, looking crazy.
There was a note in her dinner today, telling her that her father had been poisoned by Gu Shichong. She was also given two names, and as long as she caught these two people, she would be able to successfully identify Gu Shichong.
At that time, she didn't even know her father was going to die. She only knew that she had a chance. She finally had a chance to get revenge on the man who used her as a pawn! She had trusted Gu Shichong so easily that she had fallen into such a state of being abandoned by everyone and neither human nor ghost... Since that was the case, she wanted Gu Shichong to die with her! Even if she died, she wanted him to be buried with her!
She sneered, "Doctor Wang from the Imperial Medical Bureau and Xiao Weizi, the eunuch beside the Ninth Prince, are the witnesses!"
Hearing these two names, Gu Shichong's heart skipped a beat: There's something fishy about this! How did Ge Yuanhui know this? Who on earth was behind this?! Who on earth was it! Could it be that Gu Shimin still has some accomplices left?
He looked at the emperor anxiously: "Father, I am innocent! How could I have murdered my own uncle?"
Gu Shichong was devastated. Although this was his idea, it was also approved by his father. It could not only accuse the Duke of Dingguo of murdering the prince, but also cut off the possibility of the Ge family supporting the puppet young emperor to ascend the throne. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
But none of them expected that Ge Hanzhang would not even care about his own life. The couple died in front of everyone, just to give the Ge family a pretext for rebellion.
At this moment, whether to investigate according to Ge Yuanhui's words or to treat her as a lunatic who spoke wildly all depended on the emperor's decision.
But at this time, Gu Shichong was no longer confident, because once this matter was suppressed, it would be tantamount to tacitly acknowledging that it was the emperor who sentenced Ge Hanzhang to death and forced Madam Ge to death.
As expected, the emperor was silent for a moment, and then sent Shen Qingwei, who was in charge of guarding the palace, to investigate the two people mentioned by Ge Yuanhui.
He said, "Duke Dingguo is a pillar of the imperial court. He must not be wronged and die tragically. Everything must be investigated thoroughly."
Seeing this, everyone could only suppress their fear and bowed in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Gu Shichong only felt powerless and angry… He had cleared obstacles for his father and had killed his own mother, uncle, and even his own brother, but at this time, his father pushed him out in order to protect himself!
Fortunately, the person who went was Shen Qingwei. Shen Qingwei had done things for him and was in the same boat with him. If anything happened to him, the Shen family would have no chance of recovery!
Not long after, Shen Qingwei, who had just gone to investigate, came back, accompanied by an imperial physician and a eunuch.
Shen Qingwei said, "Your Majesty, I have brought these two here for interrogation. They both admitted that they originally intended to poison the Ninth Prince, but Duke Dingguo accidentally took the poison."
Everyone was shocked. So... someone wanted to harm the Ninth Prince.
Gu Shichong was stunned... This wasn't right! If Shen Qingwei had any sense, she should have kept this a secret for him. Otherwise, if he were to die, Shen Qingwei's involvement in the assassination at the hunting ground would be revealed. Was he crazy?!
But it was obvious that Shen Qingwei was a stubborn person, so she continued, "The two of them were instructed by someone. One of them drugged the Ninth Prince, and the other tricked him into going to Duke Dingguo. Their original intention was to poison the Ninth Prince and frame Duke Dingguo, but they accidentally harmed Duke Dingguo."
Gu Shichong was already in a state of panic. He wanted to use his eyes to remind Shen Qingwei to shut up first and talk about it in private, but the stubborn person was like a bamboo tube pouring beans and couldn't stop talking.
"They both confessed that they were ordered by His Royal Highness Prince Gong."
In an instant, everyone fell silent, and only Gu Shichong knelt down quickly: "Father, someone must have framed me for this!"
Shen Qingwei added, "Doctor Wang even told me which of His Royal Highness Prince Gong's attendants the person who came to him for help was."
"Father!"
The emperor remained silent.
Ge Yuanhui actually laughed in front of his parents' corpses: "Gu Shichong, you have come to this day! You have come to this day! Damn beast, you promised to marry me, you said that when you became emperor, I would be your queen, and then you betrayed me in the blink of an eye. I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood in my dreams!"
There were clearly nearly a hundred people in the hall, but at this moment it was dead silent. Everyone kept silent, as if they were afraid that if such royal secrets were heard, they would be killed by the emperor to silence them.
