Chapter 29
"This girl's name is Lin Tingran, and she is indeed Concubine Qing's older sister. However, the two sisters have been separated since childhood, and they rarely have the opportunity to meet each other. This subordinate believes that their relationship should not be enough to sacrifice for another person." the point."

When it came to business, Xiao Ling's face was extremely calm and serious. Gu Chengyuan sat in front of the desk, flipping through the questionnaire about Lin Tingran's life experience, and tapped twice on the name "Yu Xiuxian" on a certain page, his tone was cold And determined: "It's for him."

Seeing that the prince could find the key point at a glance just by casually flipping through it, Xiao Ling was not surprised, so he nodded and answered,

"Yes, although the relationship between the two of them is not frequent, it is very regular, and they will appear at the same place five to six times a month. The subordinates and Commander Shao agreed that Lin Tingran's assassination today was fake. Taking this opportunity to sneak into Dali Temple and rescue Yu Xiuxian is the main purpose."

Gu Chengyuan raised his eyes, and the coldness flashed past: "Today's palace banquet, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not so easy to enter, and Gu Chengye's help must be indispensable."

"Honorable Prince has always been strict in his work, and his subordinates have not found any traces of his contact with Lin Tingran."

"It's okay." Gu Chengyuan didn't seem to care about this matter, but it was the little emperor Gu Sinian who caught his attention today.

Gu Sinian could beat him and order Lin Tingran to be imprisoned in Dali Temple instead of being sent to the Ministry of Punishment, or he had to discuss it with her in advance.

Or, he also saw the real purpose of Lin Tingran's assassination today, to help Gu Chengye, so he gave this order.

Gu Chengyuan glanced at Xiao Ling: "Where did the little emperor go after returning to the palace?"

Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this matter had to do with Gu Sinian, but he replied honestly: "It seems that he rested in Hanxiang Hall."

Seeing Gu Chengyuan bowed his head and said nothing, Xiao Ling felt even more strange: "Does the lord suspect that the emperor is also involved in this matter?"

Gu Chengyuan's brows and eyes were indifferent, he tapped the table with his slender fingers, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and he didn't answer.

Gu Chengyuan's expression undoubtedly confirmed that Gu Sinian also contributed to the flames today, but——

"Why does the emperor help the prince?"

In the past eight years, although Gu Chengyuan has been in control of the government, he has never thought of seeking power and usurping the throne, but Gu Chengye clearly has ulterior motives for the throne.

"When Yu Xiuxian's matter is thoroughly investigated, Gu Chengye's power in the court will be greatly reduced. Gu Sinian did not do this to help Gu Chengye. It was just to let him continue to share power with the king."

Gu Chengyuan's tone was flat as if what he said had nothing to do with him: "As long as our attention is on each other, he, the emperor, can continue to do it."

After listening to Gu Chengyuan's analysis, Xiao Ling froze in place. He didn't expect that Gu Sinian would have such deep scheming.

Almost everyone thought that he was just a humble and cowardly puppet emperor, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

Xiao Ling was a little nervous at the moment. If Gu Sinian had moved their minds, it would be a little more dangerous, and the prince's deployment for so many years was not only for Qi Wenguo, if it really involved safety, he didn't know Will the prince do something to Gu Sinian because of this...

"I can't make a big storm, so don't pay attention to it for the time being."

After Gu Chengyuan finished speaking, he continued to flip through the document, but suddenly stopped looking at the last page.

Xiao Ling glanced sideways, it was a painting of beauties, the woman was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, sitting with her face covered, there was nothing unusual about it.

"This is Lin Tingran's biological mother. It is reported that she died of illness three years ago."

Gu Chengyuan watched quietly for a while, and suddenly his eyes became sharp: "Tell Dali Temple, if Lin Tingran wants to rob the prison tonight, don't stop him."

After finishing speaking, he tore off that page of the scroll and handed it to Xiao Ling: "Send this painting to the Privy Council, Mu Deze will know what to do after seeing it."

Xiao Ling has followed Gu Chengyuan for so long, and at the moment he is a little confused about his thoughts. Is there anything special about this painting of beauties?

Xiao Ling's mind was a bit weak, and he was too embarrassed to ask more details, so he could only bow with the scroll and retreat.

I didn't expect so many troubles to happen on New Year's Eve this year.

Early the next morning, Xuan Yinruo woke up from the warm bed, and after a long time of emptiness, she recalled what absurd things she did yesterday.

She claims that she can drink a thousand glasses, but now she is so drunk that she is unconscious after only one drink.

Still playing drunk in front of Gu Chengyuan!
Xuan Yinruo scratched her head in annoyance, looked at the few cat hairs that had been pulled out, and sighed secretly. If she was a cat all her life, wouldn't she be able to drink alcohol all her life?

Xuan Yinruo became a little crazy when he thought of this, he rolled on the spot several times, but he gasped because of the pain when he touched the injured leg, and he obediently didn't dare to move for a moment.

Gu Chengyuan just walked in from outside the hall, a smile flashed in his eyes, he picked her up from the bed, lowered his voice and teased slowly: "Are you sober?"

"Meow~"

Xuan Yinruo buried his head in Gu Chengyuan's chest little by little. When he thought of snatching a glass of wine with him yesterday and begging for a drink from him, the temperature of his face rose slowly. It was so embarrassing.
-
Gu Chengyuan took her out of the palace directly after having breakfast. The carriage drove for a long time before it stopped, and came to a slightly desolate suburb. There was only one dilapidated wine shop within a hundred miles. The cold winter wind blew the doors and windows, making people feel extremely cold.

Gu Chengyuan was wearing a plain blue thick cloak engraved with cloud patterns, which tightly wrapped Xuan Yinruo. His elegant and noble temperament seemed a bit out of place in such an environment.

Gu Chengyuan pushed the door open and entered, a faint smell of wine wafted into his nostrils, Xuan Yinruo showed his small head and looked around.

I saw only an old woman in plain clothes carefully wiping the table. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and looked up. Her old and chaotic eyes fluctuated a little, and she raised an unpretentious smile.

"It's the prince who is here. Those old wine ladies have already prepared it, and they are waiting for you to come and pick it up today."

Xiao Ling who was behind him seemed to be very familiar with this place, he directly handed the woman a few taels of silver, and then went to the corner and began to move the wine jar in the corner.

Gu Chengyuan sat down at the table next to the old man, his tone was calm and calm, but a little less alienated from the past: "This king wants to ask for some fruit wine today."

As he spoke, he carried Xuan Yinruo, who was wearing a little red coat, out, and the bells on his feet made a crisp clanging sound.

"it is good."

The old lady was obviously very relaxed in front of Gu Chengyuan, she responded and turned around to prepare, and soon brought a pot of warm fruit over.

Gu Chengyuan poured a small cup and placed it in front of Xuan Yinruo, with a low voice: "Taste."
