Drunk Bamboo

"…Your Majesty, and Lord Zhang are here too."

He thought Xie Yuzhu was the only one in the hall, but he didn't expect Hua Qinfeng and Zhang Xinghe were there too.

Gu Suiyi looked at the expressions and atmosphere of the three of them and felt that he appeared at a wrong time. He laughed dryly twice, glanced at Xie Yuzhu, and planned to run away as a joke.

Xie Yuzhu held his forehead with his hand. Are Zhang Xinghe and Hua Qinfeng so scary? Even Gu Suiyi wanted to escape.

"Master Gu walked so fast that I couldn't stop him." The old man who was chasing after him was sweating profusely.

Gu Suiyi's casual personality is comparable to that of the prince. His unstoppable pace and forward momentum are exactly the same.

Hua Qinfeng stopped Gu Suiyi and said in a cold tone: "Why are you leaving? Explain clearly, you are not here to report the news. What did you say just now?"

The prince is corrupt?

how is this possible.

Han Jian is crazy!

What he cared more about was the relationship between Gu Suiyi and Xie Yuzhu. Gu Suiyi came to see her on purpose and walked straight into the house. When did they become so close?

And that tiny eye movement clearly showed their full understanding.

How could Hua Qinfeng let Gu Suiyi go so easily?

Lao Liu left quietly.

Gu Suiyi was surprised: "The prince and Mr. Zhang don't know yet? The palace should have news soon. I just heard it from someone and told the princess a story. The prince and Mr. Zhang are both big people, I dare not say anything, for fear that they might be wrong."

Gu Suiyi seemed to be careless and often gave people the illusion that he was unreliable. He was extremely careful in doing things, and was extremely accurate in judging people and things. He would not speak nonsense in front of Zhang Xinghe, the Minister of Justice, and Hua Qinfeng, the prince.

Firstly, he was not familiar with Zhang Xinghe and could not trust him. Secondly, he did not know the relationship between Zhang Xinghe and the prince.

Furthermore, he couldn't figure out the prince's temper, so if he wanted to follow him to the battlefield in the future, he couldn't afford to offend him.

He cast a life-saving look at Xie Yuzhu, but no one paid any attention to him, so he sighed.

"The people in the palace have just left, and there is no news that Master Gu said. Master Gu, do you know that deceiving the king is also a crime?"

He saw clearly the look that Gu Suiyi cast towards Xie Yuzhu for help, and Hua Qin was furious.

"No news? Did His Majesty suppress this matter for the Crown Prince? Did my father hear His Majesty's big secret?" Gu Suiyi supported his chin with his hand and lowered his brows in thought.

Hua Qinfeng was even more furious and was about to lose his temper.

Xie Yuzhu spoke first:

"Gu Suiyi, what are you talking to yourself about? The prince and Lord Zhang are friends for life and death, there is nothing they can't talk about."

Zhang Xinghe, whose name was mentioned, remained silent.

Everything has been told and it is time for him to go, as there are still many things he needs to do.

Gu Suiyi spoke seriously, so Zhang Xinghe did not get up and leave immediately, but waited for him to finish speaking.

"My father went to the palace to express his gratitude this morning, and happened to see Lord Han impeaching the crown prince to His Majesty. He calculated the time carefully and waited until His Majesty had finished court before entering the palace. He thought that the Loushan case was over and His Majesty was very pleased at the moment, so he took the opportunity of expressing his gratitude to enter the palace and show his face in front of His Majesty more often."

"I didn't expect that despite all his calculations, Lord Han entered the Baoping Hall before him. His Majesty was furious, and the porcelain cups fell to the ground. He was trembling with fear outside and didn't even dare to breathe. But he heard clearly that the Minister of Works Han Jian impeached the prince for embezzling the silver for the dam construction."

"My father was so scared that he left the palace without waiting for Lord Han to come out. When he came back, his face was still pale. Your Majesty was so angry, how come there was no news at all?"

Gu Suiyi said this with a questioning look on his face while complaining about his father.

Who could believe that the prince was corrupt?

Someone actually dared to impeach the prince for corruption, and that was the money for building a dam.

Isn't this nonsense?

The Loushan silver robbery happened not long ago and the murderer was arrested, so how come the prince was involved in corruption again?

The prince lived and ate with the people when they were building dams on both sides of the river, and personally supervised the work on site, for fear that someone would take bribes or cut corners.

As a prince of a noble status, he lives a life of luxury. In order to ensure that the people on both sides of the strait can have a stable life, he stays away from the comfortable and prosperous Zhongdu, exposed to wind and rain every day.

He did not stir up trouble in the court, but worked hard for the people.

The prince's great achievements did not happen overnight, but were accumulated over a long period of time. Even Gu Suiyi, who had previously disliked political affairs, had heard a lot about them.

Those young masters of noble families who indulged in prostitutes and only ruined their families said after getting drunk that the prince was impeccable and had no faults.

That’s why Gu Suiyi said it was strange at the beginning.

The three people present had also thought of what Gu Suiyi was thinking about.

But they thought more about it. Han Jian would not do this for no reason.

Xie Yuzhu: "It happened not long ago, so maybe the news hasn't come that quickly."

Gu Suiyi retorted, "My father wouldn't let me go out, so I spent some time looking for an opportunity to go out. Besides, didn't the prince just say that someone from the palace had come? Why didn't he tell me about it? With such a big thing happening, we should have consulted with Lord Zhang and other high-ranking officials in the court. All the way from the Marquis' Mansion to the Prince's Mansion, I didn't see any lord's carriage driving to the palace."

Zhang Xinghe said, "The prince is the future crown prince. Without evidence, His Majesty will not easily order an investigation."

Gu Suiyi took out a folding fan from his sleeve at some point and started fanning himself.

Ever since he helped Xie Yuzhu investigate Ginkgo, he has sent people to keep an eye on the Han Mansion at all times, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

He waved his folding fan and looked speechless: "That's the weird thing. Han Jian has evidence. But my father didn't hear what the evidence is."

The cowardly father ran away without even hearing the most important thing.

This is also one of the reasons why he came to find Xie Yuzhu. Is it evidence fabricated by Han Jian or is it real?

Hua Qinfeng frowned: "Evidence? How can there be evidence? How could the prince be corrupt? It's ridiculous. Is Han Jian crazy or stupid?"

Gu Suiyi tried to comfort him: "Your Majesty, calm down. His Majesty may be angry for a moment, but he also believes in the Crown Prince, so there is no news from the palace."

Hua Qinfeng looked at Xie Yuzhu.

"It would be best if I could meet His Majesty at this moment to know the truth."

As soon as Xie Yuzhu finished speaking, Zhang Xinghe stood up.

"An important prisoner in the Ministry of Justice has died mysteriously. I have to report this to the Emperor in person. Bye."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Before leaving sight, Hua Qinfeng called him.

"Don't take advantage of your father's trust in you to interfere. The prince has the Wang family behind him."

The corners of Zhang Xinghe's mouth rose slightly, almost unnoticeably.

"I will also return this to the prince."

Hua Qinfeng suddenly felt that he had said too much.

"Yuzu, we just had a quiet breakfast..." Hua Qinfeng frowned and sighed softly.

"Your Highness has a lot to learn, but the only thing you don't want to learn is sighing." Xie Yuzhu reached out and gently stroked his brow, revealing a gentle smile.

"I won't learn, and you shouldn't learn either." The gloom on his face disappeared, he smiled, and ruffled her black hair lovingly with his big hands.

"Your Highness, are we still going out shopping?" Xie Yuzhu opened her watery eyes.

"Of course I'll go." Hua Qinfeng said affirmatively.

You must do what you promised to Yuzhu.

Let Zhang Xinghe take over the investigation first. There are so many people in Changfeng Tower, and we can’t let Yuzhu work too hard.

Hua Qinfeng thought secretly in his heart.

Suddenly I saw someone sitting in the hall.

A cold glance swept over.

"Why are you still here?"
