The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 176 The rumors are terrible
"Sneaked out?" Shao Yun frowned, "You let her in."

The imperial guard looked a little hesitant: "But Yu Zhaoyi said that she has something to say to you alone, and it's not convenient here."

Shao Yun's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and asked, "Where is she?"

"There is an abandoned room next to the post house, Zhaoyi said that she is waiting for you there."

Shao Yun got up: "I see, you go down."

The guard paused on the spot, and seeing Shao Yun's gaze turned over again, he asked, "Does your lord need us to guard outside?"

Shao Yun's face was stern: "No need, I can't say a few words."

After saying that, he stepped out of the door.

The room next to the post house was originally a small tavern, but because several other post houses were built outside Lanzhou City in the early years, this place is less crowded, and it will be much abandoned.

Shao Yun stood outside the door, took a deep breath, pushed the door open and entered.

The environment inside the house is not as dilapidated as it looks on the outside. In other words, someone has cleaned it again. The tables, chairs and benches are all neatly placed in the center, and the floor is also very clean, with no traces of dust visible.

Yu Weixue sat at the table with her back to the door, her head lowered, she was thinking of something, when she heard the movement, she was startled for an instant, and turned around.

Her originally cold and white face was covered with some dust, her hair was also a little messy, and her warm starry eyes were a little flustered and nervous at the moment, completely lacking the usual gentle and elegant Zhaoyi's dignified attitude in the face of danger.

Seeing Shao Yun, her eyes brightened a little, and she quickly stood up: "Commander Shao."

That voice was just like Shao Yun's memory, with a soft ladylike temperament, gentle and cool, but mixed with a touch of imperceptible panic.

Shao Yun's facial expression remained unchanged, looking a bit cold, he paused for a moment on her dusty face, and asked in a deep voice, "How long have you been here?"

"I don't know when Commander Shao will come back, so I can only try my luck here." Yu Weixue pursed her lips and tightened the corners of her jaw, "I've been waiting for two days."

Shao Yun didn't let go of any expression on her face: "How did you know that I would stay here."

Her appearance here at this moment is really hard not to doubt.

Yu Weixue quickly raised her head to take a look at Shao Yun, then quickly lowered her voice, her voice sounded muffled: "There are many guards in other posts, and they are all the emperor's eyeliner. Only here... I also guessed. "

Realizing that his attitude was too indifferent and serious, and the person in front of him was still a woman even if he was smart and calm, he would be frightened to interrogate her with the tone of a prisoner, so he slowed down his tone slightly: "Then Yu Zhaoyi is here do what?"

Hearing Shao Yun's alienated tone, Yu Weixue's seriousness flashed away, a bit self-deprecating and lonely, but the inconspicuous emotion in her eyes was caught by Shao Yun, he didn't know how he felt...

He only heard an extremely loud beating from his heart, and it seemed to be tightening again, which gave him an urge to overthrow the boring life of more than 20 years.

He lowered his eyes and tried to keep his expression calm, at least not to scare her at this time.

Yu Weixue had already sorted out her expression, raised her head again, and said solemnly: "I'm here to inform you that a lot of things have happened in Lanzhou during the month you left. It's about... the Prince Regent. "

Hearing the word Regent, Shao Yun had no time to think about anything else, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Yu Weixue didn't speak, just stared at Shao Yun for a long time, and suddenly smiled a very low smile: "Rumors say that Commander Shao is the most loyal as the right-hand man of the regent. Now it seems that it is true."

Shao Yun frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but before she had time to ask again, Yu Weixue had already restrained her face, and said seriously: "In this short month, the emperor and King Yun'an have firmly controlled the situation. government, and...overthrew the prestige of the regent's bravery and wisdom in Lanzhou."

She took a deep breath and said, "The reason is that King Yun'an found out that the late Emperor was poisoned to death."

"What?" Even if Shao Yun is well-informed and knowledgeable again, the matter of the poisoned king of a country will not be easy to put anywhere, his face changed, "What's going on?"

"Half a month ago, someone invaded the imperial mausoleum, and the tomb of the late emperor was stolen. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and asked people to check whether the late emperor was damaged. However, the accompanying imperial physician found that the cause of the late emperor's death was different, like poisoning. "

"Ridiculous." Shao Yun sneered, "If he died of poisoning, how could he not find out?"

"Yes. Prince Yun'an went to the imperial physician who was in charge of the emperor's physical safety, and found that he died suddenly at home a few days after returning home. However, when his wife was packing up his belongings, she found a handful of things he had hidden. Bank note."

"Afterwards, King Yun'an went to look for the servants and guards who accompanied the late emperor, and all of them died without exception. Except for Mr. Fu, who happened to return home on leave that day, almost...all the people around the late emperor died."

Yu Weixue's voice was a little low, even she knew that it would not be an exaggeration to say in the palace that she could cover the sky with one hand if she could do this.

But looking at the entire Lanzhou, there is no one else who can do such a clean job except the Regent King Gu Chengyuan.

As soon as this matter happened, even if no evidence could be found, no evidence was the best evidence. All voices in the court pointed to the regent, and gradually spread throughout Lanzhou City.

Rumors are terrible, not to mention that the late emperor was kind and generous, and he benefited the people during his reign. It can be said that he was not a wise emperor.

In this case, any questioning words from Gu Chengyuan's colleagues will be considered as exonerations.

And Gu Chengyuan happened not to be in Lanzhou City, so the rumors would only spread more rapidly after rumors were pushed by people with good intentions. Now almost the whole city has identified Gu Chengyuan as a regicide.

They also completely forgot how Gu Chengyuan single-handedly recovered the riots in Lanzhou eight years ago, and supported Gu Sinian to sit firmly on the throne.

After hearing all this, Shao Yun quickly realized the pros and cons of it, and the identity of the person behind it was almost tacitly understood.

He raised his head, his expression was still cold, he stared at Yu Weixue closely with burning eyes, and he opened his lips: "I am very grateful for Yu Zhaoyi to tell my minister about this matter, but...does Yu Zhaoyi know to come here?" Do you want to tell me the consequences once the emperor finds out about it?"

Yu Weixue lowered the corners of her eyes, her long and curled eyelashes trembling slightly: "Since I'm here, I must have thought about the consequences."

She raised her head slowly, and the firmness and trust in her eyes almost overwhelmed Shao Yun: "As long as I can help Commander Shao, that's enough for me."
