Old Mrs. Gu took a deep breath, frowned, and then said, "That night of the Lantern Festival, Lei secretly came to the mansion to find me and threatened me to take her in. He also said that if she couldn't escape, she would just fight to the death. She would tell the Jinyiwei that I secretly colluded with the Yu family."

"Although I have a clear conscience, my parents' Qi family and the Yu family are both in Yingchuan, and this matter is endless."

"Sister Lao, you are about to marry into the Kang Prince's Mansion. At this time, if something happens to the family and so many eyes in the court are staring at it, I am afraid that someone will jump out and oppose your marriage with Kang Prince. Grandma feels sorry for you, afraid that it will delay your marriage. That's why...hey!"

"Later, when we split up, we moved out of the mansion, but the Lei family and his son were unwilling to leave. Now it seems that Lei family should have defected to Brother Yuan..."

Old Mrs. Gu rubbed her eyebrows weakly, her face full of fatigue and anxiety.

She said it half true and half false, and these words were actually full of errors.

Gu Jian and Wang quickly exchanged a look, and Wang hurriedly said, "Sister Lao, you also know that your grandmother has always loved you the most. She is considering everything for you, but she is afraid that there will be any further setbacks in your marriage."

"Hey, they are all family members, and they shouldn't have spoken two families." Gu Jian also sighed long, looking reasonable.

"Grandmother..." Gu Yun'an was moved and helped Old Lady Gu's back.

It was wrong for grandmother to take in Lei, but Gu Yuan was too cruel and ignored the kinship of his family. Although the second wife once received the title that was originally the eldest wife, he has now lost the title, and the eldest wife and the second wife are both in a loss.

But Gu Yuan refused to give up...

She used to think that Gu Yuan was a cold-faced person, but she misjudged Gu Yuan. Since Gu Yanfei came back, Gu Yuan has changed and has become no longer the elder brother she remembers.

"Sister Lao," Old Mrs. Gu held Gu Yun's hand tightly, and his eyes were filled with tears, and he said regretfully, "It was my grandmother who was wrong. Grandma shouldn't have let your second sister come back. It has caused you so many twists and turns. It's Grandma who is sorry for you."

"If you have the chance to go out, don't worry about us. As long as you are well, grandma will be satisfied."

A warm current flowed through Gu Yun's heart, his eyes were sore, and he held the old lady's cold hand with his back.

She knew that Gu Jian and Wang had their own selfish intentions, so the grandmother, who raised her since childhood, really loved her and considered her.

"Grandma, don't be dry." Gu Yun'er calmed down, his eyes bright like morning stars, and he said calmly, "Where is me, my marriage with King Kang is only three days, I have to get married from here."

"The Jinyiwei will not be sealed for a few days. The Silijian will come to the mansion to try out the wedding dress tomorrow."

Gu Yunhao married a prince and did not need to make her own wedding dress. Her wedding dress was an imperial uniform, which was prepared by the Silijian. Now that the wedding date is approaching, the Silijian has already decided to let her try the wedding dress tomorrow.

Gu Yunhao's eyes were bright. She believed that with King Kang's eyes and ears, he would probably know what happened here soon. King Kang would never let the Jinyiwei be arrogant.

The rest of the Gu family also understood what Gu Yun's meaning, and hope ignited in their hearts again, and even Gu Xiao, who was originally depressed, cheered up again...

As Gu Yun'an expected, King Kang and Chuyou knew about this matter within a stick of incense.

Chu You has always been the movements of the Jinyiwei. When he heard that the Jinyiwei had gone to Gu's house in Luwei Hutong, he specially ordered his confidants to investigate what happened. Only then did he know that Mrs. Gu's house was hiding the remnants of the Yu family. Moreover, Gu's house had been seized by the Jinyiwei.

Chu You was worried about Gu Yunhao's safety and was anxious and immediately entered the palace.

He originally wanted to sue the Jinyiwei and ask the emperor to release the person quickly and finish the matter with a quick knife.

But I didn't expect that the Ganqing Palace was beyond his surprise.

The emperor sat on the golden lacquer carved dragon pattern throne on the top of the head, and Chu Yi, the eldest prince wearing an apricot and yellow python robe, sat on the lower head. On both sides of the hall below, Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin, He Lie, and even the Duke of Wei and other close ministers were there.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the East Side Hall. Chu You couldn't help but feel a slump, and then he heard the emperor say gentle but majestic: "Lei, your confession is extraordinary, this is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination!"

In the middle of the hall, there was a weak and graceful woman kneeling. Against the backdrop of this magnificent palace, her figure looked particularly thin, as if the wind would fall down.

"Your Majesty, every sentence I say is true, and I dare not make a false statement." The beautiful woman said pitifully, her eyes were red and her tears were filled with tears.

"The Yu family had a long time to be rebellious. Fifty years ago, they took back the prince of the previous dynasty and gathered the remnants of the previous dynasty under this name. They secretly mined mines in Yuzhou, smuggled salt, and built weapons privately. They had long been unjust."

"As far as I know, the Yu family has two accounts, one is the Yu family's obvious property, and the other is the shameful property. All accounts are hidden in the Yu family's old house, and Yu Si's younger brothers and uncles also know about these things."

"And... the owner behind Zhangji Salt Store in the capital is the Yu family, and the Yu family uses Zhangji Salt Store to sell private salt for profit!"

Lei spoke intermittently, his voice softly and with a slight tremolo.

From beginning to end, her little face was hanging down, staring at the gold brick floor below, and she didn't dare to look at the emperor and the others around her.

After saying the last sentence, she lowered her head and knelt down humbly on the ground, motionless, and her body trembled continuously.

At this time, the palace was very quiet, and the surrounding Shoufu Xiao and others heard her words very clearly, and their expressions became solemn.

The Yu family is a noble family. If the Yu family involves rebellion, it is conceivable that the emperor's suppression of other noble families will definitely be even heavier.

Next, it will be an extremely difficult battle for the aristocratic families.

Shoufu Xiao and others exchanged their eyes quietly and thought about what they should do next. For a moment, they didn't care about anything else.

Chu You from behind cast his ice-like gaze on the trembling Lei, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

He has always disliked the emperor and felt that the emperor was not worthy of his rank, but he was the prince of the Dajing Dynasty. Of course, he did not want the Yu family to help the restoration of the royal family in the previous dynasty. Cancers like the Yu family must be eliminated as soon as possible. If they are allowed to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Chu You still knows the importance of this.

Chu You's thoughts flew around and walked to He Lie quietly. His every move was as heavy as thunder, making no one ignore his existence...

His arrival attracted the attention of everyone present.

Even Chu Yi, who was sitting in the lower head, looked at Chu You lightly, with his lips slightly raised, and he gently stroked the small bloodstone seal on the side of his waist with one hand.

However, Shoufu Xiao and Wang Kangyin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, frowned deeply.

The Lei family was found by the Jinyiwei from the house of the second house of the Gu family. It was obvious that King Kang entered the palace at this time because of Gu Yunhao.

He Lie's clan clasped his fists at the emperor calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I have ordered the Jinyiwei to go and search Zhangji Yanxing, and I will be able to find a result today."

"Please send Jinyiwei to Yuzhou to investigate the Yu family's party!"

While speaking, He Lie deliberately glanced at Chu You, and a provocative look flashed across his eyebrows.

Their Jinyiwei was never afraid of things. He only needed to explain to the emperor. This was the foundation for Jinyiwei to establish himself in the court.

"Who commander," Chu You's eyes were as cold as a pool of cold water, and he snorted coldly, "One code will return to one code, the Yu family's rebellion is unforgivable. You want to arrest the Yu family, but I won't stop you, but your Jinyiwei sealed the Gu family today. Could it be that he was deliberately destroying my marriage?"

Everyone knows that the Jinyiwei is the emperor's person, and Chu You's words are accusing the emperor of deliberately hindering his marriage.

"I dare not take it." He Lie bowed, "I am doing my business in public. The Gu family is hiding the remnants of Yu's family, so they should be punished with the same crime!"

A sharp and cold light flashed in Chu You's eyes. He looked down at Lei, who was lying on the ground and asked coldly: "Lei, who said, who hiding you?"

Lei, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, then straightened his upper body, his eyes turned black, and his body couldn't help but sway, making him look more and more delicate and pitiful.

Lei swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "It's the old lady of the Gu family... Qi."

While speaking, she looked timidly in the direction of Chu You, describing her pitiful eyes with tears in her red eyes, as if she was frightened by Chu You's sharp gaze and impulsive aura, and her pale face suddenly turned blue.

"Why did Mrs. Gu take you in without relatives or reasons?" Chu You's eyes were nailed to Lei's body, and he asked step by step again, not giving the other party any chance to think.

Lei bit his pale lower lip. This time, he didn't dare to look up at Chu You. His eyes, which were stained with tears, trembled gently several times, and his voice shook even harder.

"From the previous dynasty, the Qi family has been attached to the Yu family and is a vassal of the Yu family."

"For the past few years, the Qi family has always followed the leader of the Yu family. The Yu family promised to be the king of the Qi family one day, so that the Qi family can reach the top of the sky. Yu Si said that the Qi family should have his father's letters hidden there."

"These things were told by Yu Si personally when she sent me away, and I didn't know much..."

Lei's body trembled and his lips were shaking, like a broken flower in the wind and rain, weak and innocent.

She held the skirt tightly with her hands. After a while, her mood stabilized a little, and then said, "I was hiding in a house arranged by Yu Si at first, but after waiting and waiting, Yu Si's people didn't come to find me. Later, I heard that the Jinyiwei was searching for the Yu family in the capital... I was so scared that I really didn't know what to do, so I could only take my children to find Mrs. Gu."

"During this period, Mrs. Gu has been helping me. Otherwise, I would have been a weak woman with no power and a hungry child, and I would not be able to hold on to it now."

After saying that, Yu's little face covered with tears fell down again, and his eyelashes trembled violently.

Chu You pursed his lips into a straight line in annoyed manner, and his heart sank little by little until the abyss.

Things were more troublesome than he expected.

The Yu family was suspected of treason, and the crime of treason was a serious crime, which was enough to destroy the nine clans.

If Mrs. Gu knew that the Yu family had the intention of rebellion and still hid the Lei family's mother and son, then the crime would be quite serious. To be serious, it could even be considered a rebellion.

This is a serious crime to be exiled and exiled!

Now, it is probably as difficult for him to protect Gu Jian and the others to protect the Yu family as before.

Chu You quickly thought about what to do, but in a flash of his fingers, his mind was changing.

When things got to this point, if you wanted to protect the Gu family's second wife, you had to cut off your tail and survive, and give up the small one to protect the eldest one.

Chu You gritted his teeth secretly, his thick eyebrows jumped, and made a decision in a very short time. He looked up at the emperor who had not made any noise on the dragon throne ahead for a long time, "Brother!"

Chu You stared deeply into the emperor's eyes, raised his chin, full of momentum, "Even if the Gu family is involved in hiding the remnants of the Yu family, it is the fault of Mrs. Gu alone and has nothing to do with the rest of the Gu family."

"It's just a person's fault?" Chu Yi and Wen Lan'erya's voice suddenly sounded from the front.

The handsome young man who had half-duck his eyes lifted his eyelids and looked in the direction of Chu You, his eyes as clear as the morning star.

The elegant young man said slowly: "At the end of October of the fourth year of Xuanren, General Hu Dingguo, Dingxi, took the risk and killed Zhu Ye, the governor of Yongzhou. He called himself the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition and raised an army in Yongzhou. He was captured in February of the fifth year of Xuanren, and the Hu family was beheaded."

"In the twelfth month of the tenth year of Xuanren, Zhu Xianxi secretly contacted ministers in court and assassinated the late emperor at the court congratulations banquet. Instead, he was surrounded by the imperial guards. Zhu Xianxi fought to the death and held the seven emperors hostage to threaten the late emperor. In the end, Zhu Xianxi was beheaded in the Imperial Garden. The late emperor was furious for this and ordered the slaughter of Zhu Xianxi's ten clans. Later, because of the widespread involvement in this case, the Jinyiwei launched a comprehensive search, including Li Yong, the chief minister of the cabinet at that time, and were all implicated, either raiding his home or exiling."

Chu Yi told the story in a leisurely manner, never angrily or yelling, but he had a unique and amazing momentum.

He is like a mountain standing tall and majestic.

Chu You's face became more and more gloomy.

The late emperor was angry and ordered to kill the ten clans of Zhu Xianxi. It was criticized by those self-proclaimed noble censors and scholars, who thought that the late emperor was too cruel.

But Chu You knew that the late emperor felt sorry for him, so that the late emperor threatened the world with this, so that those rebel ministers who were determined to be rebellious would no longer dare to attack him.

Chu Yi looked at Chu You from afar, with a gentle smile, and asked back: "Did the Seventh Emperor think the late emperor was right?"
