Zongzheng Temple has always been in charge of the affairs of the royal family, Ruojing and Emperor suspected that Ye Zi was involved in this matter, and dared not have any objection to taking him to Zongzheng Temple for trial at Prince Rui's Mansion.But Ye Zi didn't expect that the man was so afraid of Gu Yan that he actually tricked him into this place under the pretext of calling him into the palace.

Feeling helpless, Ye Zi obediently followed Sicheng who came out to pick him up into Zongzheng Temple.

Ye Zi was taken to a prison and temporarily detained.

There are complete tables and chairs in the prison, as well as a small couch, which is quite comfortable.The prison door was locked with iron chains, and the distance between the cages was neither wide nor narrow. Ye Zi checked visually, if it was half a minute wider, he could pass through without returning to his original shape.

Not to mention the few jailers and guards outside, none of them could fight.

Ye Zi sighed that the prison was useless, sat down at the table, and yelled at the jailer outside to pour him a glass of water.

According to the current situation, he probably won't be able to see Emperor Jinghe for the time being.Now that he has entered Zongzheng Temple, the burden of interrogating him will definitely fall on Zongzhengsi Secretary.

Ye Zi took a sip of water, tilted his head and thought for a while.

The current Minister of Zongzhengsi should be His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Gu Xing.

After waiting for less than an hour, someone came to summon him.Ye Zi followed the people out of the prison door and came to the main hall where the suspects were being interrogated. When he looked up, he saw Gu Xing sitting on a high seat.

Ye Zi was about to salute, but Gu Ting took the lead and said, "Princess Rui is free."

Ye Zi was not polite to him, and stood quietly on the spot, waiting for the other party to speak.

Gu Xun tilted his head and gave some instructions to the Si Cheng beside him, and the Si Cheng responded, picked up a few letters on the table, and came to Ye Zi: "Princess Rui, please have a look."

Ye Zi didn't pick it up and didn't turn it over. He glanced at it casually and asked, "What is this?"

"Last night, some of the letters found from the post office of Honglu Temple are still with my father." Gu Xun explained, "These are all letters with Beiman, which involve a lot of military secrets. Princess Rui Ever seen these things?"

Ye Zi truthfully said, "No."

Gu Xing signaled Sicheng to accept the letter, and said: "I heard that you and Prince Jiaxiedan went to the theater to watch a play yesterday? What else did you do?"

Ye Zi thought for a while, and said in detail what he did yesterday: "...After watching the play, Prince Jiaxiedan said that he was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the inn to rest. We didn't have dinner, so I will He sent him back to the post house and returned to the palace. If you don't believe me, you can ask the prince."

Gu Xing paused, and said: "Speaking of Lord Rui, I heard that someone saw you coming out of the Yanyun Pavilion before, and Prince Jiaxiedan was also there, but is it true?"

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to understand why he was brought here.

Emperor Jinghe didn't suspect that he had any collusion with Beiman, that person suspected Gu Yan.Now it seems that their every move is probably under the surveillance of Emperor Jinghe.

Ye Zi closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Gu Xing's eyes moved slightly: "What are you going to do?"

Ye Zi sneered and raised his eyes: "Catch the traitor."

Gu Ting's complexion changed, and Ye Zi explained: "There is a young man in the Yanyun Pavilion who is desperate to seduce my lord. I asked Prince Jiaxiedan to help me out, and go with me to teach those adulterers a lesson. Ton, it's as simple as that."

"...Third Highness, if you don't believe me, you can go to Yanyun Hall to investigate for a while. I was afraid of the prince's face that night, and there was not much trouble, but most of the old bustards in Yanyun Hall know something."

When he said this, he made a heartbroken look, and taught earnestly: "Don't worry about my cruelty, this kind of thing is the same for men and women. There are always some people who like to eat from the bowl and look at the pot, and always want to play something new. Yes, it won’t work if you teach me a lesson. Third Highness, you still don’t understand these things, but when you get married in the future, you will naturally understand.”

"...To live together, the majesty still has to be established, otherwise it will be too late when the other party climbs on top of you."

Gu Xun: "..."

No one expected that such a private matter of Prince Rui would be heard in the trial of an adultery case. The Chancellors of Shaoqing Temple of Zongzheng Temple present all looked at each other in blank dismay, each with their heads down, wishing they hadn't heard this passage today.

Gu Xun's face was not very good-looking, he clenched his right fist against his lips and coughed softly, "Take Princess Rui down first."

Everyone couldn't wish for it, so they hurriedly invited Ye Zi back to the prison.

Ye Zi was lying on the small couch, her thoughts racing.

Gu Yan dared to meet Jia Xiedan in the Yanyun Pavilion, so he was naturally well prepared.This reason was discussed earlier in the morning. Although it is not very pleasant to spread, it can be guaranteed to be foolproof.It's just that this alone is not enough to clear Gu Yan's suspicion.

According to their original plan, after Jia Xiedan found conclusive evidence, he would find an opportunity to expose the matter to Emperor Jinghe, and then he would be able to cut off the connection between the Northern Man and the Central Plains.

Therefore, when he heard that Emperor Jinghe searched the Honglu Temple post house overnight and put Jia Xiedan under house arrest, Ye Zi originally thought that Jia Xiedan had obtained the evidence.

But now it seems that the man clearly found nothing.

So how on earth was he discovered by Emperor Jinghe?

The most important evidence is not in hand, even though Emperor Jinghe knew that there was someone having an affair, he didn't know who it was, and he must have messed up.In addition, Gu Yan had met with Jia Xiedan in private, so he went to the doctor in a hurry and imprisoned Ye Zi in Zongzheng Temple in a hurry.

Ye Zi was totally an outsider in this matter.Emperor Jinghe found out that the correspondence had lasted for several years, but at that time Ye Zi had never entered the palace, let alone learned any military secrets.

However, Gu Yan was not so clean.

Although he did not do anything to collude with the enemy and treason, but he and Jia Xiedan were really connected.He even intervened in the garrison in northern Xinjiang.

If someone finds out, he will be speechless.

The more Ye Zi thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he even wished he could go to the post house of Honglu Temple right now, take apart the head of the northern barbarian, and see how much water was inside.

He can't even do this little thing cleanly, and he still wants to be the king of the northern barbarians?

Ye Zi was thinking wildly when the prison door was reopened and Gu Xun stepped in.

Ye Zi didn't even get up, leaning on the couch and nodding to him.

Gu Xingwen said in a warm voice: "Brother Huang doesn't know the news yet, but it probably won't be long. I'll order someone to bring some supplies over in a while. Before the matter is clarified, I'm afraid the sister-in-law will stay here."

This was not what Ye Zi expected, he responded indifferently: "It should."

Ye Zi paused, and then asked, "How is Que'er's recovery?"

Mentioning the little gray sparrow, Gu Xun's expression became softer: "It has been cured. That little bird is very spiritual, as if it understands that you are imprisoned here, and it will come out with me. I have no choice but to let it out." Temporarily locked in the palace."

"That idiot..." Ye Zi laughed, and said again, "Please tell him that I'm fine and I'll be out soon, and let him stop running around."

A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Xing's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

After dealing with the trial case, Gu Xing returned to the bedroom.As soon as I entered the door, I heard the chirping of birds.

A light gray thing flew towards him, Gu Xing stretched out his hand and grabbed the little gray bird that was about to escape from the dormitory.

The little eunuch hurried out of the bedroom with the golden birdcage in his hand: "Your Highness, you are back. This little bird insists on going out, and the servant can't stop it. Look, the door of the birdcage has been smashed like this!" .”

There was a small gap in the door of the gold wire birdcage, and a lot of light gray feathers fell on the bottom of the cage.Gu Xing's eyes darkened, and he ordered: "Go down first."

"Yes."

The little eunuch came out of the dormitory, Gu Xing spread out his palms, the little gray sparrow regained his freedom, and immediately pecked Gu Xing's hand hard with his beak.

Gu Xun let out a "hiss", and a small red mark immediately appeared on his index finger.

Gu Xun said helplessly: "It's not that I want to order Princess Rui to be locked up, what are you doing with me?"

The little gray bird glared at him, then turned its back to him, its feathers fluttering slightly, as if it was very angry.

Gu Xun sighed, and reached out to touch his head: "It hurts so hard, does it hurt?"

As soon as his fingers touched the head of the little gray bird, the little gray bird flinched and gasped in pain.Gu Xun's face changed, he clamped the little gray bird's body, examined it carefully for a moment, and found a small bulge on the back of the little bird's head.

Gu Xun's expression turned cold: "You don't want to die?"

"Don't worry about it, bad guy!" The little gray sparrow flapped its wings and patted Gu Xun's hand away, flew to the beam and squatted down with its back facing Gu Xun.

Gu Xing stood where he was, but was stunned.After a long time, Gu Xun said softly: "What did you just... say?"

What the little bullfinch uttered just now was not the usual bird song, but a crisp, clear and clean juvenile voice.

Ye Zi was left in Zongzheng Temple.

There was no window in the prison, so Ye Zi couldn't tell day and night, and he didn't know how long he had been in.

The prisoners guarded by Zongzheng Temple were all relatives of the royal family, and their treatment was a thousand times better than that in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In addition, Zongzhengsi Qing personally offered to treat him well, so Ye Zi didn't have to worry about eating and drinking inside.

It's just that the longer time passed, the more uneasy he felt.

A few hours was enough for Gu Yan to know the news that he was locked up here.

How would that person react?

Did he go around to rescue him, or did he guess that Emperor Jinghe came after himself, and he was trying to get rid of the suspicion?

Ye Zi couldn't stop thinking wildly in his mind, analyzing the situation for a while, thinking about how to deal with it, and even thinking about how he would plead guilty for Gu Yanzheng if he was found out about having a private relationship with Jia Xiedan.

Anyway, he is a grass, even if he falls to the worst result, there is still a way to get out.

Ye Zi thought about it, and fell asleep leaning against the wall.After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the prison door lock slammed softly, and the jailer stood outside the door and called him: "Princess Rui, you can go out now."

Ye Zi's consciousness was not completely clear, and he followed the jailer out of the cell in a daze.The sky outside has completely darkened, there are no stars and no moon, and dark clouds are overwhelming the city.

Gu Yan stood in the courtyard, and the lights in the courtyard were dimmed, making his face even more gloomy.A young minister of Zongzheng Temple waited by his side tremblingly, not daring to show his air.

Ye Zi walked towards him, and was about to say something, but Gu Yan grabbed his hand.

The hand that touched Ye Zi was terribly cold, Ye Zi froze for a moment, and immediately woke up.He looked up at Gu Yan, but the latter had already turned his head and dragged him out involuntarily.

The carriage of King Rui's Mansion was parked outside Zongzheng Temple.

Ye Zi followed Gu Yan into the carriage, and the latter never let go of his hand, clenched tightly, as if trying to restrain himself.

Ye Zi was a little afraid of his appearance, carefully tugged at his sleeve, and said softly, "My lord, you hurt me so much."

Gu Yan's hand trembled slightly.
