My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

From midnight to dawn, they searched for several hours before rummaging through all the boxes of fabrics that Gu Yanli brought, including the cargo ship and the person responsible for guarding them.

More than ten kinds of things that did not belong to the Daxing Dynasty were found inside. They were scattered and hidden. It seemed that someone had carefully hidden them.

The fourth prince looked at the many things piled up in front of him, and the excitement in his eyes also increased. In his eyes, these cloths were not simple things. They seemed to be evidence that could be used to incriminate Gu Shaoyu. The magic weapon that pulls Donggong into the water.

So I didn't dare to delay at all and searched them out.

The sky was getting brighter, and the fourth prince did not deliberately hide it, so the news spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Some people say that the Gu family members have colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, which is why these things appeared. Some people say that the remnants of the previous dynasty may be hiding among them, but they just haven't surfaced yet.

Suddenly, Emperor Renzhao, who had not been mentioned for many years, suddenly became famous. Everyone wanted to talk about this matter, so as to show that they knew some secrets.

Gu Yanli had been sent to prison, and the Gu family's servants were still kneeling on the edge of the dock. The cold wind was biting, their hands were tied, and their knees were stiff and there was nothing they could do.

Only after the Fourth Prince's people thoroughly inspected this place, they obtained the "pardon order".

"They will all be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and tortured separately from the Gu family's mastermind. I want to see how many secrets they can reveal."

Then looking at the pile of fabrics, he didn't know where the confidence came from, and immediately asked people to load the car and go straight to the palace. He had caught such a big deal today, so naturally he wanted to make Gu Shaoyu peel off.

Therefore, he went on his own without consulting any advisers.

By the time Shang Qilang, Wei Taiwei and Jin Zuo Shilang learned the news, it was already too late, because the fourth prince had already brought the matter to the imperial court.

In the palace.

The emperor was very impatient at the moment. Even though the concubine was comforting him in her bedroom, he still felt that the son in front of him was an eyesore.

"It's early in the morning. If you weren't resting in the mansion, why did you come to the palace? Disturbing my dream!"

The emperor's expression and words fully demonstrated his displeasure. Naturally, the fourth prince could see it and immediately turned to the imperial concubine to ask for help.

The imperial concubine said immediately.

"Your Majesty, don't you know what Xiaosi's temperament is? He is a well-behaved person. He must have something important to report when he comes now. You are the king of a country, and naturally you cannot fake the important events in the court. Hand, that’s why Xiaosi came here rashly because he thought of this, hurry up and apologize to your father.”

"Father, please calm down. I have no choice but to deal with this. If I don't report this matter immediately, I'm afraid something big will happen in the court."

What he said was serious and exaggerated. Although the emperor was unhappy, he didn't really want to kick him out, so he took a few deep breaths and said.

"What's up?"

"My son was ordered to supervise shipping at the dock. It's only the third day now that someone from the Gu family in Jinling City has colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty to put private goods in the fabric. Not only does it have the illegal dragon pattern style, but also The various complicated patterns and the variety are jaw-dropping, so I have already captured the person and are waiting for my father to deal with it."

"The dragon pattern style can only be used by His Majesty. Even His Royal Highness can only wear a python robe. What's going on?"

The imperial concubine is not stupid. She heard that the items came from the Gu family in Jinling City. Naturally, she had to find ways to connect with the East Palace, so the prince was already mentioned in her words.

When the emperor heard this, Long Yan became a little angry.

"Where are the things? Bring them to me and take a look!"

"Yes, Father."

As soon as the fourth prince raised his hand, the people outside brought the cloth in. As soon as he opened it, it turned out that there were some "things from the previous dynasty" inside. The emperor's face became more solemn as he looked at it, and the imperial concubine beside him also looked surprised. He shouted.

"Your Majesty, this...could it be that the Crown Prince has other ideas? Is it possible that the Gu family sent something from the north..."

The imperial concubine speaks in a breathy tone, which makes people unable to grasp the handle and at the same time can't help but speculate.

The emperor, who had already lost most of his body due to the elixir, was so angry that he became dizzy, and then his vision went dark and he fell back to the bedside.

If the fourth prince and the noble concubine hadn't helped him in time, he might have hit his head.

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

The two of them did have a bit of worry in their expressions at this moment, but the worry here was not for the love between the pillows or the love between father and son, but for the fear that the emperor would die in the imperial concubine's palace. They couldn't explain clearly.

"Where is the imperial doctor? Where is the imperial doctor?"

The fourth prince wanted to call the imperial doctor, but the imperial concubine took out a pill from the pillow, stuffed it into the emperor's mouth, and it melted quickly.

After a short while, the emperor finally calmed down.

The fourth prince looked at the increasingly empty box, and worry could not help but rise in his eyes. He was afraid that his father would not be able to survive much longer, and he must get everything he wanted before his father disappeared. yes.

So, without caring about anything else, he came up and poured dirty water on the prince.

"Father, this is the prince of the Gu family, but he has an inescapable relationship. Originally, Gu Shaoyu recognized him as his father, and he married his only sister into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone can see the marriage. The one he supported was the prince, and now the Gu family is going north, talking about transporting cloth, but there are so many private goods in it. If no one is secretly giving instructions, how can a mere merchant dare? "

When the fourth prince said this, his eyes were filled with determination to win.

It seems that if the prince is not plunged into this quagmire, he will not leave today.

The imperial concubine also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she also started blowing pillow wind next to her.

"Your Majesty, you were ill a few days ago. Didn't the prince have some vague intention of replacing you? Several government affairs were handled without your consent. Isn't this Sima Zhao's intention and everyone on the road knows it?"

The emperor's anger had just calmed down a little when he heard the mother and son talking here, and his expression naturally didn't get much better.

But the prince has been supervising the country for many years and has never had any major errands. It is precisely because of this that he can enjoy a stable life in the harem with peace of mind. So from the bottom of his heart, he actually recognizes the prince a lot. of.

I even thought about it, how about I retire as the Supreme Emperor and give the Prince some place to show his strength in a reasonable way.
