Chapter 241 Perfection (one more)
King Rui'an didn't want to accept it, but the emperor felt that he had to be accepted.
The emperor said with a sullen face: "This case is very important. I trust you. You must take this case." After a pause, he added, "It is also involved in your current case. I will investigate the two cases together. I will assist you and personally intervene in this case."
King Rui'an almost knelt down to the emperor, wanting to say "Your Majesty, please forgive me!", but before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, the emperor said sullenly, "King Rui'an is a reward for eating the emperor, and it is a matter of loyalty to the emperor." King Rui'an was suddenly dumb eating coptis, unable to tell what he was suffering.
For many years, all he wanted was stability, and he didn't want to stir up disputes in the court. But unexpectedly, His Majesty has now pulled him out.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that His Majesty was no one to use. The civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty had been divided up by the princes. The results of the new subjects this year have not yet come out.
The emperor saw King Rui'an's bitter face, and said to him: "Let your son help you, Zhou Gu and Xie Lin are about the same age, and it's time for you to pull him out to practice. This time is just right, and he will be able to use it as soon as possible when he enters the court in the future."
This is a disguised fulfillment of the promise made earlier, telling him that if he has done a good job, his son will be able to reuse it.
King Ruian sighed in his heart, His Majesty's emperor's art has become more and more proficient. If he wants the horse to work hard, he must feed the horse his favorite forage. The future of his son Xie Lin is the forage he cares most about.
He could only bow his hands, "What your majesty said is that the dog can indeed practice, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
Just agreed.
The emperor was satisfied, and said to Zhou Gu and He Zheng: "You two hand over the case. He Zheng's injury is not serious. After a few days of recovery, he will continue to assist King Rui'an."
Didn't mention how Zhou Guyang will be after his injury.
He Zheng hurriedly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor asked Zhou Gu again, "You said that Feng Ling sent someone to save you, where is he now?"
"Back to the Great Buddha Temple." Zhou Gu didn't wait for the emperor to ask, and said directly: "Miss Su Qi and Master Ye Er are paying respects to the Buddha at the Great Buddha Temple."
The emperor nodded and didn't ask any more questions, thinking that it's no wonder that Ye Guixue didn't enter the palace. It turned out that he went to the Great Buddha Temple with Su Rong. It seems that the two of them have been going back and forth for a long time.
The emperor waved his hand, "Go down!"
A group of people exited the Imperial Study Room.
As everyone left, the emperor ordered Eunuch Yu, "Yu An, pass on my will. From today on, the fourth prince will contemplate behind closed doors." After a pause, he ordered, "Tell the prince to come see me."
Yu An should be, and went immediately.
After leaving the palace, King Rui'an said to Zhou Gu: "You are wounded. You have just been bandaged by the imperial doctor, so don't ride a horse, lest the wound will open. This king will send you back to the mansion. There are also some details about the case. I can talk about it on the way."
Zhou Gu nodded and got into King Rui'an's carriage.
On the way, King Ruian asked Zhou Gu, "Tell me the truth, is Miss Su Qi related to Princess Zhenmin back then? This king investigated the assassination case of Princess Qingping, and Princess Qingping explained that the cold arrow was directed at her. Now that you are investigating this case, His Majesty also said that it is related to the assassination case of Princess Qingping that I investigated, so I let this king investigate the two cases together."
Zhou Gu glanced at King Rui'an, and said, "Su Rong is the daughter of Princess Zhenmin and King Nanchu."
King Ruian was also investigating recently, and vaguely guessed that Su Rong was related to Princess Zhenmin, but he really didn't think of King Nanchu, and he was also shocked at this time, and he didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he suddenly realized, "So that's the case."
He asked: "What's going on? Could it be that Princess Zhenmin didn't die back then?"
Zhou Gu nodded, and in a few words, he briefly told the story of Princess Zhenmin feigning death, settling in Jiangning County, giving birth to Su Rong, and passing away.
Ruian Wang listened rough, and wanted to ask in detail, but seeing Zhou Gu's pale and sleepy face, he didn't want to go into details, so he had to give up, and asked him about the ins and outs of the case, as well as the details during the investigation.
This Zhou Gu was willing to talk, so he started from how he took over the case, without skipping the period, and explained it to King Rui'an in detail, and then took out a record file from his arms and handed it to him.
King Rui'an took the file and learned about the case in detail, and the carriage also arrived at the Duke Protector's Mansion.
Zhou Gu wanted to get off the car, and King Rui'an also said, "Since you have come to the Duke Huguo's mansion, I will meet the old Duke and say a few words?"
Zhou Gu knew that he wanted to ask Su Rong and Princess Zhenmin, so he didn't stop him. He nodded and followed him out of the carriage and into the Duke Huguo's mansion.
The Guo Guo Gongfu has received the news that Zhou Gu was severely injured in Beijing. The old Guo Guogong was still able to stabilize. Princess Shengan and Mrs. Guogong and the ladies inside the government couldn't sit still. Qi Qi gathered in the house of Princess Sheng'an. She hurried out of the house with people and walked out.
The old guardian of the country was surprised when he saw King Rui'an, "Why did the prince come to the door?"
"I will send Zhou Gu back to the mansion, and I will say a few words to the old man by the way." Rui'an said kingly.
The old Hu Guogong nodded and asked Zhou Gu, "Is the injury serious?"
"It's okay, it's not heavy." Zhou Gu shook his head.
The old protector saw that he could walk by himself without anyone's support, his face was pale, and he felt relieved, "Go back and raise him."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Princess Sheng'an is not as big-hearted as the old Huguo Gong, and she didn't care about talking to King Rui'an, and immediately took Zhou Gu's hand, "It's not heavy? Don't fool grandma, your face is so pale that you have lost a lot of blood. What way do you go? You should take a sedan chair."
After she finished speaking, she ordered in a loud voice, "Come quickly, and bring the sedan chair."
Zhou Gu had no choice but to say, "Grandma, I hurt my arms and back, so I can walk without hindrance. I don't need to take a sedan chair."
"Then you don't need a sedan chair, walk slowly." Princess Sheng'an held his hand and asked as she walked, "Is your wound bandaged by the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital?"
"Well, His Majesty announced the imperial doctor, and it was bandaged by the imperial doctor Xu from the imperial hospital."
Princess Sheng'an nodded, "Prince Xu is good at medicine, can you prescribe a prescription?"
"It's opened. I brought it back." Zhou Gu handed the prescription to Princess Sheng'an.
Princess Sheng'an took it over and took a look, then handed it to Mrs. Guogong, "Hurry up and ask someone to decoct the medicine."
Mrs. Guo hurriedly arranged for someone to go.
A group of people surrounded him and sent him back to Shuanglin Garden.
Entering the room, Princess Sheng'an asked Zhou Gu to go to bed and lie down. Zhou Gu really couldn't hold it anymore, he lost a lot of blood, and he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, and he didn't sleep for two or three days.
Princess Sheng'an sat on the bedside and asked him, "How did you get hurt? After Ziye returned to the mansion, he sent people to watch over the two monks, and after asking a doctor to bandage them, he passed out. The other guards were also seriously injured. Five people even got involved."
Zhou Gu briefly told Princess Sheng'an.
After hearing this, Princess Sheng'an became angry immediately, "Where did hundreds of dead soldiers come from? You threw those two monks out, and you didn't kill them, but surrounded you to kill them?"
The Duke’s wife was also very angry, "Even His Royal Highness sent someone to meet you, but you actually sent someone to stop you in advance?"
"Is it the first prince or the second prince?" The third lady couldn't hold back her mouth, thinking that it was too dangerous.
"I don't know the mastermind behind it, but the peach blossom comb found from the body of the dead man was lost by Concubine Li four and a half years ago, and it was recorded in the palace. Your Majesty has handed over the case to King Rui'an for further investigation." Zhou Gu said briefly.
Everyone was surprised when they heard the words. They didn't expect to have something to do with Concubine Li. The fourth prince is fifteen years old this year. It stands to reason that the three elder brothers above him are all grown-ups.
Since Concubine Li is involved, this case is a tricky one. It is reasonable for His Majesty to hand it over to King Rui'an and not let Zhou Gu intervene.
Princess Sheng An said: "Thanks to Su Rong."
If Su Rong didn't feel that something was wrong and sent Feng Ling to lead people to chase after Zhou Gu Xiang to rescue her, she might have sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man. Her beloved little grandson would be fifty miles away from the city today. Then she can die.
Mrs. Guogong is also extremely afraid. She only has two sons, and the one who loves the most is naturally the youngest son. The youngest son is different from the eldest son. The eldest son was sealed as a son at birth, and he was brought up steadily since he was a child.
All the wives also like to love Zhou Gu, and they all feel very dangerous in their hearts. They are very grateful to Su Rong. They didn't expect that Su Rong even divorced Zhou Gu, but she could still help him like this.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Princess Sheng'an only said this, then patted Zhou Gu's hand, and stopped talking, "You are tired too, go to sleep, I will call you when the medicine is ready, you can just rest in peace and recuperate, if there is anything, let your grandfather take care of it."
After she finished speaking, she said angrily: "How dare you send dead soldiers to kill you. Although His Majesty asked King Rui'an to investigate this case, our Duke's Mansion can't just wait, and will also assist King Rui'an to investigate this case."
Zhou Gu nodded, closed his eyes, and fell asleep almost instantly.
Princess Sheng'an was so distressed that she stood up, waved to everyone, and signaled to go out and talk, and stop disturbing Zhou Gu's rest.
