Chapter 364 What Is the Intention?

Mrs. Gu nodded very slightly: "Yes."

Prime Minister Gu said nothing more.

Thinking of the brothers Guo Huai and Guo Hongqiang who were still staying in Prince Xian's Mansion, he smiled coldly.

The emperor should have seen with his own eyes the evidence that his good son had close contacts with the King of Xijiang. In the anger of the emperor, he would have killed King Xian first, and it would have been settled once and for all.

As long as King Xian dies, no matter how powerful the King of Xijiang is, the Queen's party will never have a chance to resurrect.

Then they can concentrate on dealing with King Jing.

Prime Minister Gu had his own wishful thinking and secretly mocked the Guo brothers and sisters for their whims.

Do you really think he would cooperate with them and be so stupid as to leave Yan Li in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

It was true that Yan Li deserved to die, but she couldn't die in the Gu family.

Based on the emperor's love for her and her current status, the Gu family could not even touch a drop of Yan Li's blood.

Tonight was originally part of his plan.

After Yan Li was kidnapped, the news would soon reach the emperor. For the sake of the friendship between Jin and Mu, Yan Li could not suffer any loss now.

Therefore, Emperor Zhaocheng would resort to all means, even if he turned over the prince's residence and the residences of important ministers, he still had to find Yan Li.

In this case, would he dare to kill Yan Li?

Prime Minister Gu smiled coldly. All the descendants of the Guo family were so self-righteous that they thought he was also a stupid person?

Prime Minister Gu was thinking this, and suddenly felt that he could provide a clue to Ye Qi, so he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qi: "Commander Ye."

Ye Qi turned to look at him: "What are your orders, Prime Minister?"

"The truth is that I heard a few days ago that Prince Xian and his wife were very dissatisfied with Princess Nanyang. However, they could not do anything because of the presence of the Ninth Prince and the Queen of Jin. Now the Ninth Prince rushes to the border and Queen Jiang has also returned to Jin. I I think——"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you think King Xian has a grudge and kidnapped Aunt Nine Emperors?" King Jing interrupted him, his eyebrows raised high, with a hint of amusement, "King Xian was imprisoned in the palace, and there was a lot of people in the palace. If not even a fly can fly out, where can they send so many masters to kidnap Aunt Nine Emperors without anyone noticing?"

Prime Minister Gu hesitated: "Prince Xian has been the crown prince for so many years, even if he is imprisoned, he still has his own way——"

"It's a pity that I don't think this matter is related to King Xian." King Jing interrupted him, "Or even if it is related, it may be that Prime Minister Gu and King Xian conspired together to quietly arrest the person."

"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Gu's face was livid, with anger visible to the naked eye, "Is Prince Jing such a mouthful? If you can't find anyone in the prime minister's house tonight, please ask Prince Jing to apologize to the prime minister immediately - —”

"Commander Ye! Found the trace of Princess Nanyang!"

This sentence not only made Ye Qi immediately lead the people to rush in that direction, but also caused the expressions of Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu to change suddenly.

"I can apologize to Prime Minister Gu." King Jing smiled faintly, his smile cold and somewhat cold, "But in advance, Prime Minister Gu is indeed innocent."

After that, he raised his hand and led the people inside.

Prime Minister Gu seemed to have roots under his feet, and turned his head stiffly to look at Mrs. Gu.

"I..." Mrs. Gu's face turned pale, "I have already sent Yan Li out. They..."

"Let's go and take a look first." Prime Minister Gu reacted and quickly turned around and walked towards the house, "That place is not easy to be discovered. Maybe we are unfounded."

The secret room cannot be discovered.

Even if they find traces of Yan Li, they might already be outside the mansion - even if they are caught at the back door of the prime minister's mansion, he can still refuse to admit it.

Thinking of this, he whispered to Mrs. Gu: "No matter what they ask later, you will always deny it and don't have anything to do with Yan Li."

Mrs. Gu understood what he meant and nodded uneasily: "Yes."

After a pause, "Master Xiang, will we..."

"No." Prime Minister Gu interrupted her before she could finish speaking, "It has nothing to do with us."

Mrs. Gu hummed.

Yes, everything has nothing to do with them. They don't know anything. Even if someone does discover Yan Li's traces, they can still insist that there is a spy in the family.

Anyway, Yan Li was in a coma, so she didn't know anything. No one in the Prime Minister's Mansion had spoken to her since she was arrested.

It's just that she doesn't know where she is.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt at ease.

However, her peace of mind was only enough to last until she entered the inner courtyard.

When Prime Minister Gu saw the warehouse surrounded by the Royal Forest Army and Prince Jing's guards, his face turned pale.

The light from the torch illuminated the entire warehouse clearly, as bright as day.

Prime Minister Gu stepped forward angrily: "Commander Ye, this is the warehouse in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You brought so many people here tonight. Do you want to find people or raid the house?" ŴŴŴ.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is right to ask this question." As a cold voice sounded, the warehouse door that should have been closed was slowly opened, and a delicate and noble girl's face came into view, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, has a high position. According to the weight, the amount of corruption gained in these years should exceed 5 million taels. "

Prime Minister Gu's pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at the girl coming out of the door in disbelief. The next moment, he turned to look at Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu also seemed to have seen a ghost, with a look of shock on her face: "You...how could you..."

"Why am I here?" Yan Li raised an eyebrow, "Does Madam Gu think I should appear in Prince Xian's Mansion?"

Mrs. Gu's face turned pale, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Commander Ye." Yan Li turned to look at Ye Qi, "After waking up, I didn't know where I was. I wandered around like a headless fly for a long time. I didn't expect that by chance, I would trigger a mechanism and find a warehouse full of gold and silver treasures... Oh no, it should be said that it was a warehouse full of gold and silver."

"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Prime Minister Gu stepped forward quickly and looked at Yan Li with a sullen face, "Princess Nanyang sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night. What is her intention?"

Yan Li looked at him mockingly: "Prime Minister Gu looks like he's getting angry."

"You——"

"But getting angry is useless." Yan Li smiled coldly, "Commander Ye, take people in to search the secret room immediately, and let the Prime Minister explain where the gold, silver and various jade treasures in the secret room came from."

Ye Qi raised his hand and signaled: "Enter!"

"Who dares?" Prime Minister Gu shouted coldly, "Come here!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Gu family guards stepped forward to block the door, and the swords on their waists were about to be unsheathed.

The momentum was fierce and the situation was tense.

The torches reflected the faces of the people confronting each other, and the air was filled with a biting cold like a cold wind passing through.
