Chapter 365: Slander

"Commander Ye." Prime Minister Gu looked at Ye Qi coldly, with an extremely angry expression on his face, "I am an important minister of the imperial court. You are leading the imperial army to search for the whereabouts of Princess Nanyang tonight. I have nothing to say. , but now it turns out that Princess Nanyang is not only intact, but also quietly sneaked into the Prime Minister's warehouse, I don't know what her intention is——"

"The Prime Minister's skill is very good. In just a few words, he was completely cleared of the crime of kidnapping this princess." Yan Li sneered, "There are many guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this princess is a weakling. Li Nuliu, if you hadn't caught me, how could I have escaped the tight guards and reached your warehouse? "

Prime Minister Gu put his hands behind his back, and the tightly clenched hands showed his uneasiness. His mind was running rapidly, thinking about how to destroy the secret passage of the agency and temporarily bury the secret room.

I'll dig it out again when I get the chance later.

After all, saving your life is important right now.

But the secret passages of the agencies are all in the warehouse, unless someone goes in early...

Prime Minister Gu's eyes fell on the faces of the guards outside the door, and then turned to look at the Imperial Guards who surrounded the warehouse, and... Prime Minister Gu's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at King Jing's face that was full of mockery as if he had a winning ticket. His face and heart slowly sank to the bottom.

He found that he had no way to let the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion go in and destroy the mechanism in advance, surrounded by so many people watching eagerly.

Unless secret guards are used...

"Since we are here today, Princess Nanyang has also seen the secret room. The best response for the Prime Minister is to let us go in and take a look." King Jing smiled leisurely, but there was an infinite chill in the corner of his eyebrows, "If the Prime Minister is innocent, Princess Nanyang has been wronged. You, I, may be able to say a few words of kindness to the prime minister in front of my father.”

"Why is Princess Nanyang in my warehouse?" Mrs. Gu walked over in shock, "You sneaked in in the middle of the night-"

"Mrs. Gu, there is no need to blame me anymore." Yan Li's voice was cold and frightening, "I woke up in the secret room just now, and I happened to hear Mrs. Gu's order to send me to Prince Xian's Mansion. No matter how you try to defend yourself, you can't It’s no use!”

Mrs. Gu's expression changed, and she stared at Yan Li with a cold gaze, wishing to tear her into pieces.

She regretted it.

Just now, people should not have let the incense go down, but directly put poison to make her bleed to death. In this way, the secret of the warehouse will not be discovered tonight, and the prime minister's house will not be in such a dangerous situation.

"You are going too far!" Prime Minister Gu gritted his teeth, "Whoever dares to break into the truth's warehouse today, I will kill him here!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, breaking the atmosphere of the confrontation: "The Emperor has arrived——"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The front yard, middle yard, and inner yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all kneeling on the ground. The housekeeper, guards, maids, and servants were kneeling on the ground in fear.

Prime Minister Gu suddenly turned his head and looked pale.

Emperor Zhaocheng, dressed in a dragon robe, walked towards the light of torches in the sky, surrounded by armored guardsmen behind him. Under the light of the fire, the thick imperial majesty made people feel heart-stopping.

Prime Minister Gu shook his body. Suddenly he fell to his knees on the ground: "See my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

King Jing bowed and saluted: "Father."

"Yan Li!" Emperor Zhaocheng ignored anyone and walked up to Yan Li, looking her up and down, "Are you okay?"

Yan Li slowly shook his head: "It's okay."

Emperor Zhaocheng frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Yan Li said: "Ling Ning and I came back from the military camp and met a group of men in black on the way. They didn't do anything and just drugged us. After that, I fell unconscious."

"This is simply unreasonable!" Emperor Zhaocheng's voice was cold, "The thief is so audacious!"

"When I wake up, I will lie in the secret room behind this warehouse." Yan Li turned around and pointed to the warehouse behind him, "The first secret room is very dark. I don't know if the dark environment is too dark for the senses. Being keen, I heard Mrs. Gu ordering the guards outside to add more incense, and then send me to Prince Xian's Mansion."

"Princess Nanyang is slanderous!" Mrs. Gu retorted sharply, "I didn't—"

Yan Li raised her gaze slightly: "Then Mrs. Gu, can you explain why I appear here?"

"Why did Princess Nanyang appear here? Shouldn't you ask yourself? She sneaked into the Gu family's secret treasury in the middle of the night like a snack, and even raked it up, leaving people speechless!" Mrs. Gu turned to look at Emperor Zhaocheng and knelt on the ground, " Your Majesty, we have been wronged! Please understand!”

"Father." King Jing bowed and replied, "The Nine Emperor Aunt just said that she mistakenly entered the secret vault of the Prime Minister's Mansion by coincidence and saw the gold and silver mountains hidden in the secret vault, as well as various jewelry, jades, and rare antiques. Preliminary estimation It is worth more than five million taels of silver, but even if the prime minister is in the first rank, his annual salary is only 20,000 taels of silver and some rewards and trivial income. I really want to know where this gold and silver mountain comes from. "

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am wronged!" Prime Minister Gu shouted with excitement, "I have no idea how Princess Nanyang entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for the secret treasury... This is just a frame-up by Princess Nanyang. There is no gold mountain in my family at all. Silver Mountain——"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." King Jing frowned and interrupted him, "Whether he is unjust or not, my father will know once he goes in and takes a look."

Prime Minister Gu was in a panic, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Emperor Zhaocheng turned his head and looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "All the guards of the Gu family should withdraw."

The Gu family guards kneeling on the ground outside the warehouse door turned their heads cautiously to look at their companions, then lowered their heads and retreated in a prostrate posture.

Emperor Zhaocheng stared at the warehouse in front of him and ordered coldly: "Open the door."

Ye Qi raised his hand to signal, and a royal guard stepped forward and pushed open the door of the warehouse.

The warehouse was pitch black, and only under the illumination of the torches was there a little light.

"Ye Qi, take people in." Emperor Zhaocheng stood in the wide courtyard, "Prince Jing, you arrange guards to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not a fly is allowed to fly out."

"Yes, father!"

Prime Minister Gu was cold all over, surrounded by despair and powerlessness.

Mrs. Gu was also pale, and she regretted that she didn't kill Yan Li directly before throwing her out.

This damn disaster!

Every time something happened to the Gu family, it was related to her. She should have destroyed her body and wiped out all the traces to relieve her hatred!

But it was too late to say anything now.

Mrs. Gu raised her head and stared at Yan Li, the little bitch, with hatred in her eyes that could hardly be concealed. Tianlai Novel Network

"Why is Madam Gu looking at me like that?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows, "I didn't take the initiative to enter your secret room. You had me locked up here, and I accidentally discovered that there was a lot of mystery in the secret room... Mu State has been fighting with Jin State and Northern Xinjiang for many years, and the treasury has long been overwhelmed. I didn't expect to find so much gold and silver in the prime minister's mansion at a critical moment. It can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need."
