The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 102 There are secrets

Gu Sinian walked through the passage and came directly to the underground dungeon of the Chaohui Palace. This dungeon was built by his father when he was in power, and there is even an exit directly leading to the outside of Lanzhou City. This is what his father specially told him before his death. For him, no one knows except him.

The interior of the dense prison is fairly clean, with complete tables and chairs, and even hot tea.

Rather than a secret prison, it would be more appropriate to have an ordinary dark room.

On a wooden bed in the corner, lay a man, wearing an ordinary white underwear, with a quiet face, his eyes closed, not sure if he was really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping.

When Gu Sinian walked in, he stepped on the floor and made a clear sound, the person on the bed moved obviously, and then there was a crisp sound of chains colliding.

The man opened his eyes and sat up slowly. The sound of the chains on the inside of the wall became louder and louder. He pulled the chain on his right hand impatiently, but the thick and strong chain did not show any sign of loosening.

He could only lean against the bed, and naturally pouted at Gu Sinian: "The emperor is here? Sit down."

The temperature in Gu Sinian's eyes gradually deepened, and he sat on the side according to his words, took a sip of hot tea, and then calmly said: "I was a little busy yesterday, so I didn't come here."

"It's okay, the king of a country should be busy." The man raised his eyebrows, and his lips were stained with an abnormal red, which was so bright that it was dripping.
"Speaking of which, I promised to deal with Gu Chengyuan with you, why are you still tying me up?"

Gu Sinian stared at him quietly for a moment, then whispered a few words: "Rou'er has been deposed and thrown into limbo."

The man's originally indifferent face changed in an instant, and he stood up directly. His right wrist was scratched by the iron chain, but he didn't realize it. He only frowned tightly, and his voice suppressed his anger: "What's going on? What are you doing?" Protect her!"

"It's useless to me." Gu Sinian twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, looking a little lonely, "Those who want to protect will never be able to protect."

Mu Jianbai has stabilized his mind at this moment, and sat back in his seat: "Be clear, what's going on? Is it an order from Gu Chengyuan?"

"Yes, the fake princess in his palace was poisoned, and Rou'er was found."

"Fake princess? That Gu Qiruo?"

Mu Jianbai squinted his eyes. He was very impressed with this woman. The person who hadn't appeared all day suddenly appeared by his side, and it was obvious that her skills were not bad.

Gu Sinian was silent for a moment, and told all the details of what happened last night, but he didn't mention that the real poison in the sachet came from him.

The more he talked, the more Mu Jianbai's hatred for Gu Chengyuan could be aroused.

"He's farting!" Mu Jianbai heard the whole thing, and he was really furious, "It looks like a trap set by the three of them. Would the famous Gu named Gu not be able to see it?"

Mu Jianbai was born in an aristocratic family, and his words and deeds were somewhat dandyistic, and his mouth lost its sense of propriety when he was excited.

"Three people?" Gu Sinian successfully extracted the key words from his words, "Do you think the princess is also involved in this matter?"

"If she has such a brain, maybe she is the mastermind." Mu Jianbai sneered,

"That woman is not a simple thing. She can hide from my nose without a trace, and she has a kung fu that I don't know where she came from."

Mu Jianbai glanced at Gu Sinian: "Maybe, she is actually a dead soldier Gu Chengyuan raised in private, and she was given the title of princess in order to deceive people."

After Mu Jianbai finished speaking, Gu Sinian completely lost his expression as if he was stunned, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes turned cold: "Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"

"What?" Mu Jianbai felt puzzled, "Even if we know about this matter, what can it explain?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he tentatively asked, "Gu Chengyuan doesn't know that she knows martial arts, does he?"

Gu Sinian lowered his head and began to think carefully. He remembered that the princess was said to be weak and unable to see the light as soon as he returned.

If he knows martial arts, how can he be weak?

And judging from Gu Chengyuan's many performances towards her, Gu Sinian can be sure that he didn't know that she knew martial arts.

Then there is only one possibility, she has concealed her identity from Gu Chengyuan from the very beginning, and the two of them also have secrets.

Since Gu Qiruo's name is fake, could it be... that even Gu Chengyuan doesn't know her real identity?
"On the mountain behind the Huguo Temple that day, apart from finding her capable of martial arts, did you see other suspicious people?"

Mu Jian's white eyebrows became more serious: "At that time, a group of people in black suddenly appeared to help her, and she and those people joined forces to hurt me, otherwise I would not be so easily plotted by you."

After all, Mu Jianbai gave Gu Sinian a hard gouged look, and knew that it was not the time to settle the debt, so he began to recall again: "I remember that the leader seemed to call her, but he didn't mention it. What Gu Qiruo..."

"What's that name?"

Gu Sinian was startled, these clues seem to be connected together and they are about to be cracked, this name must be the key to connect them together.

"I don't remember that."

Mu Jianbai scratched his head, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of anything, his eyes looked around irritably, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an inscription on the wall at the entrance of the secret passage not far away, the handwriting was a little rough, but vaguely identify--

The Xuan room seeks talents, visits and chases ministers, and Jia Sheng's talents are even more incomparable. (From "Jia Sheng" by Tang Li Shangyin)
He suddenly seemed to have been opened up to Ren and Du's second channel, and instantly enlightened: "I remember! It's Xuan! Shouted the word Xuan!"

"Xuan?" Compared to Mu Jianbai's excitement, Gu Sinian was much calmer, "Is there a noble family named Xuan in Lanzhou?"

"No." Mu Jianbai spread his hands, "Could it be that you are thinking too much? Maybe Gu Chengyuan knew that she knew martial arts? And those people who rescued her were also sent by Gu Chengyuan's people?"

"impossible."

Gu Sinian pursed his lips, he firmly believed in his intuition, everything could not be so coincidental.

There must be a secret in that woman.

Moreover, if the matter of the sachet was really calculated by the three of them together, it is very likely that they have already guessed that the real person behind the scenes is him.

Her best course of action should be to point the finger at him, so as to further consolidate Gu Chengyuan's power, but she didn't do that, does it mean...

Her thoughts towards Gu Chengyuan are not pure, either?
"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Gu Sinian didn't say a word, Mu Jianbai suddenly became a little depressed. Speaking of which, when he was young, he, Yu Xinrou and Gu Sinian were the three best friends in the entire Imperial College.

Only later, because of the family's political differences, they gradually drifted away and lost contact.
