Chapter 60 Get Together

"If Gu Xiaohou is free today, can you tell me about it? Dali Temple has a new case today, which has something to do with my uncle's family." Yan Yiran hinted.

In fact, it was not a big case, but my cousin molested a good family in the neighborhood of the capital. Even if he didn't need to come forward, the matter would be settled. I just wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Gu Hengyu.

"I have also heard what the fifth prince said. Since the fifth prince entrusted me, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and will not let the fifth prince down by bending the law for personal gain." Gu Hengyu said.

Yan Yiran heard Gu Hengyu say this, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I wanted to..."

Gu Hengyu didn't wait for Yan Yiran to finish, and interrupted: "The minister also talked about this matter with the emperor today, and the emperor praised the fifth prince for being fair and let me do it freely. If the fifth prince didn't mean that, then did he?"

Hearing that Gu Hengyu brought out his father to suppress him, Yan Yiran had no choice but to give up, "Master Gu is right, I really mean it."

Gu Hengyu smiled back and nodded, as if he knew it a long time ago.

Yan Qing'an saw that something was wrong between the two of them, and broke the embarrassment by saying: "Our brothers are going to have a sit-down, Chen'er and Gu Xiaohou will come together if nothing happens?"

Gu Hengyu was about to refuse, when Xie Chen said from the side: "Okay!"

When Xie Chen saw the three of Yan Qing'an together, he felt a little strange in his heart. After hearing what he said, Xie Chen suddenly remembered that Yan Qing'an was grounded by the emperor before the palace banquet in his previous life.

Xie Chen can't remember the specific reason and time, but it should be that the past few days have been good. It is said that it was a mistake to drink, and he was furious when he was caught by the emperor, and the prince was restrained. Because of this, the rumors became more and more popular.

But Xie Chen knows that Yan Qing'an is still a gentleman after drinking, and will not do anything immoral, so she must go and see today, which of these two people set up the game.

Yan Qing'an received Xie Chen's answer, looked at Gu Hengyu, and asked, "Where's Master Gu? Are you free?"

"available."

A few people chatted and laughed and came to the Fengyin Pavilion in the palace, which was designed to provide a place for royal people to have fun, but they didn't invite the Kabuki and Maiko from the palace to accompany them.

Apart from the five of them in Fengyin Pavilion, there are only eunuchs and maids who are serving.

Yan Qing'an is the crown prince, so he naturally sat at the main seat, Xie Chen and Gu Hengyu sat next to each other on the right of Yan Qing'an, and Yan Yichen and Yan Yiran sat on the left.

"It's fate to be able to sit together today, why don't we have a drink first." Yan Yiran said.

Yan Yichen picked up the wine glass, turned to Xie Chen and said caringly, "The few of us are drinking, but we are just afraid that Chen'er sister will be too strong to drink, so we can replace wine with tea."

Before Xie Chen could say anything, he heard the Fifth Prince jokingly said, "Third brother is said to be a gentle and caring person. I didn't think it before, but now I see that third brother really deserves the word for Chen'er."

Yan Yichen still had a smile on his face when he heard it, but the meaning behind it was intriguing.

"No, some wine is still good to drink." Xie Chen said, and everyone on the field heard that she was rejecting Yan Yichen's kindness.

The expression on Yan Yichen's face froze for a moment, and he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yan Qing'an said to Xie Chen: "Just the right amount, don't force it."

Hearing this, Xie Chen smiled in Yan Qing'an's direction, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Prince, Chen'er understands."

As soon as these words came out, the attitude of Xie Chen changed the expressions of everyone on the field.

Especially Gu Hengyu, whose expression hadn't changed all the time, looked even more unapproachable at this moment.

Sitting together, the princes definitely wanted to talk about political affairs, and now the only thing that could be talked about openly and not afraid of being suspected of having different intentions was the matter of Sun Shilang, who had already settled the case.

"I really didn't expect Xiao Dingshan to turn himself in at the end, and even now I don't understand what he's trying to do." Yan Yiran said first, his tone seemed to be pity for Xiao Dingshan.

The people on the field are not fools, Xiao Dingshan is obviously the fifth prince's person, the gambling house and brothel he set up privately, and the land he robbed, many of the benefits are given to the fifth prince, it must be a pity for the fifth prince if Xiao Dingshan has an accident.

Yan Qing'an was a little displeased when he heard this: "Even if there is no such thing as Minister Sun, Xiao Dingshan has not been an official for long."

Yan Qing'an had sent someone to investigate Xiao Dingshan long ago, and was just about to hand over the evidence to the emperor, but something happened beforehand.

"Second brother misunderstood, Xiao Dingshan deserves to die, but I think there is still more to be done about him and Sun Shilang." Yan Yiran said.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Hengyu was more sure that the matter of Sun Shilang had very little to do with Yan Yiran, and even Xiao Dingshan might not belong to him, and the master behind him was someone else, otherwise Yan Yiran would not dare to let this matter be investigated Going on, he probably doesn't know that Xiao Dingshan is pushing the blame on him both in and out of Dali Temple.

Seeing that no one in the hall answered his words, Yan Yiran felt that Xie Chen's daughter's family didn't understand anything, so he asked, "What do you think of Third Brother and Young Master Gu?"

Gu Hengyu looked at Yan Yichen, asking him to speak first.

"I don't have much contact with Xiao Dingshan, I don't know the ins and outs of the matter, and I don't know how to comment." Yan Yichen replied, there are not many ministers who associate with him in the court.

Hearing this, Xie Chen sneered in his heart. Yan Yichen had many ministers in private, and he was afraid that he secretly poached away the prince and the fifth prince.

After Yan Yiran heard this, "I heard that the third brother was also in Dali Temple that day, why is that?"

The prince naturally has an eyeliner in the city, Yan Yichen's appearance in Dali Temple is not a trivial matter, someone will definitely report it to the fifth prince.

At this time the prince also looked at Yan Yichen, waiting for his explanation, it seemed that he also knew about it.

"There are actually two people related to this case hidden in my house. After Xiao Dingshan turned himself in, I found out that someone deliberately tried to blame me for this matter." Yan Yichen explained this matter in a short sentence .

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Yan Yiran's face was not good, and Yan Qing'an couldn't help but glance at Yan Yiran, after all Xiao Dingshan was Yan Yiran's person.

"I still have to ask your opinion on the case that Gu Xiaohou personally tried." Yan Qing'an said.

Gu Hengyu just sat there indifferently, and after hearing this sentence, he said: "The emperor has been convicted, and I dare not speak nonsense."

Everyone was speechless, Xie Chen secretly laughed in his heart, it was Gu Hengyu who knew how to make people shut up with one word.

But he couldn't help it, Xie Chen still had a smile on his face after all.

"What are you laughing at? Why don't you just say it and make me happy." Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen from the side and said to her.

Gu Hengyu naturally knew what Xie Chen was thinking, but just now Xie Chen's attitude towards the prince made him inexplicably unhappy, so he had some thoughts of revenge, and he didn't know why he was so naive at this time.

Xie Chen glared at Gu Hengyu, looked at the eyes of the three princes looking at him, and said under pressure: "Chen'er listened to you talking about Sun Shilang, thinking that he is worthy of being a prince, and he sees things differently from others of."

These words undoubtedly pleased everyone present, except Gu Hengyu.

"Chen'er, can you tell me what other people think?" Yan Qing'an asked with a smile on his face.
