Chapter 446: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (52)
Gu Guifan remained calm and threatened Shen Yi: "You broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion without permission and asked someone to attack me. Don't you want Shen Qiuxi's life?"
"Or, you don't want to live anymore?"
Boom——!
Ying Yi used force to press Gu Guifan's head directly onto the floor tiles and coldly reminded him, "Prime Minister Gu, please be mindful of the tone you use when speaking to the Pavilion Master."
If the Pavilion Master had not been worried that killing Gu Guifan now would affect His Majesty's consolidation of power, he would have tortured him to death long ago!
Gu Guifan, who was unable to break free from the grip, was held down by Ying Yi and his head was rubbed against the floor tiles several times.
Feeling the burning pain on his cheek, Gu Guifan finally got angry, but then he heard Shen Yi's deep voice:
"Old Prime Minister Gu, was he the man behind Chunxue Pavilion back then?"
Gu Guifan frowned, forgetting to question Shen Yi for a moment, and said in confusion: "How could my father be related to Chunxue Pavilion...ah!"
A steel needle about as thick as a chopstick was inserted directly into Gu Guifan's shoulder blade.
Shen Yi stood up, squatted beside Gu Guifan, and slowly pulled out the steel needle: "My people have found out the whereabouts of Prime Minister Gu's confidant."
"He said it was a twin poison cultivated by Prime Minister Gu."
"As his only son, don't you know?"
As the last word fell, the steel needle, which had just been pulled out halfway, was stabbed heavily into Gu Guifan's upper back again.
Threads of blood gushed out.
Gu Guifan trembled in pain: "My father doesn't know how to raise Gu at all!"
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Just looking for a reason to torture me?!"
Seeing that Gu Guifan did not change the subject even with a steel needle against his throat, Shen Yi's eyes darkened.
Gu Guifan values his life the most, so it is impossible for him to lie at this time.
It seems that he knows nothing.
Shen Yi let go of his hand in disappointment, and the falling steel needle almost cut Gu Guifan's neck:
"Give me Shen Qiuxi's antidote."
Gu Guifan wanted to refuse, but Ying Yi pressed his wound, so he could only reluctantly tell Shen Yi where the antidote was stored.
Shen Yi took care of what Gui Fan said, took out the porcelain bottle from the secret compartment behind the bookcase, and gave it to Ying Yi for inspection.
After confirming that there was no problem, Shen Yi waved his hand and asked Ying Yi to let go of Gu Guifan:
"Prime Minister Gu had better pray that the matter of the twin poison has nothing to do with your Gu family."
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and his eyes flashed with a strange cold light, like a ghost crawling out of the abyss.
A chill instantly spread down Gu Guifan's back.
When he came back to his senses, Shen Yi and Ying Yi had already disappeared in the room.
Gu Guifan sat up with a pale face and wanted to call someone outside to apply medicine to him, but received no response.
He staggered to his feet, opened the door, and widened his eyes in surprise.
In the yard, corpses were lying in pools of blood.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Gu Guifan grabbed the door frame angrily.
No wonder no one noticed anything unusual, Shen Yi actually killed all his people!
Is Shen Yi crazy?! Isn't he afraid that he will kill Shen Qiuxi in a rage?!
Gu Guifan’s ears suddenly recalled Shen Yi’s words just now.
Shen Yi would not come to ask about the twin poison for no reason.
But his father clearly doesn't know how to raise Gu...
Gu Guifan felt it necessary to conduct a thorough investigation.
And the other side.
Shen Yi did not return to Chaoyang Palace, but stood in a remote corner, staring at the bedroom not far away where the lights had been extinguished.
Since Sejun can cure the twin poison, does it mean that he knows about Chunxue Pavilion?
How much does he know?
Shen Yi wanted to go in and ask clearly, but he didn't have the courage to take a step forward. He was afraid that if he revealed everything, he would not be able to stay here any longer.
Besides, Sejun is resting and it is inconvenient to disturb him.
After finding a far-fetched excuse, Shen Yi turned and left.

Due to the disaster, Lu Cha temporarily asked Shen Qiuxi to put the draft on hold. Every day he was busy discussing disaster relief with Li Taifu and others. In addition, he had to deal with state affairs and improve plans, so he had no time to see Shen Yi.
It just so happened that Shen Yi followed the clues of Prime Minister Gu’s confidant and thoroughly investigated what happened that year, so he did not come to disturb Lu Cha.
This day.
Lu Cha lay on the soft couch in the imperial study and let out a long breath.
Finally, everything is done. Now we just have to wait for the closing of the net~
But at this moment, An Jin, who was in charge of disaster relief, walked in with a solemn expression and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, please allow this subordinate to die!"
"Someone deliberately released locusts in Beisheng City, where the drought was most severe. My subordinates failed to discover the situation in time, leading to a locust plague. We have yet to find out who was responsible."
Lu Cha was not surprised by this.
The only person who could evade the royal secret guards and take advantage of the disaster to cause trouble was Gu Guifan.
The aura of the male protagonist in this world is quite strong.
[Because Gu Guifan's halo only cracked, it didn't break, but it would soon.]
The system couldn't help but say angrily: [This male protagonist is simply a grandson! ]
Not only did they deliberately drive up grain prices, leaving the people hungry, but they also spread rumors among the people, claiming that the disaster in Jinchang was a punishment from the heavens for the emperor's unkindness and anger.
[It's clearly this bastard who's secretly spreading the disaster! ]
The walnut in the stinking puddle—he is not a good person (benevolence)!
Lu Cha nodded in agreement and gestured for An Jin to stand up. "I will take care of this matter. Don't take any action yet. Let Qiu Xi continue to spread false information to Gu Guifan."
"I previously ordered you to collect scandals from officials and their backyards. How's your collection going?"
Dark Gold quickly replied, "I've finished sorting everything. Do you want me to let you out now?"
"No rush, wait until Gu Guifan's followers start making trouble."
Lu Cha licked his lips lightly.
Try to make the male protagonist collapse in one go!
