Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 190 Your Highness, Have You Missed Me?

Ten days later, Gu Chen and his party had returned to Kyoto.

Before entering the city, a carriage had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Then, Jiang Heyan got out of the carriage, holding her dress with her little hands, and ran towards Gu Chen's team happily.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing his wife coming out of the city to greet her, Gu Chen immediately jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "Why don't you stay at home?"

When he returned to Beijing, he asked his guards to rush back to report the news and inform Jiang Heyan at home.

But he didn't expect that this girl would be waiting for him outside the city.

After all, he would be back a few days earlier than them. Gu Chen guessed that Jiang Heyan might have started picking him up outside the city a few days earlier.

Jiang Heyan smiled happily, "I want to see His Highness as soon as possible. It's been more than a month since you left."

Seeing the clingy look of the other party, Gu Chen smiled helplessly.

There is no way, Huzhou is far away from Kyoto, and it takes more than twenty days to go back and forth. In addition, in the meantime, we have to help deal with the disaster in Huzhou, so naturally we can't come back too early.

At this time, Jiang Heyan's eyes moved, she looked at Gu Chen expectantly, and asked with a smile: "Hey, Your Highness, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"

Gu Chen said: "Of course I will come back as soon as I finish handling the affairs in Huzhou."

After hearing the answer she wanted, Jiang Heyan bit her lips and teeth and replied softly, "Actually, I also miss Your Highness during this time."

Her tone was slightly shy and her expression was slightly shy.

"Ahem..."

At this moment, a cough suddenly destroyed the original atmosphere, and then Nangong Yue was seen standing outside the carriage looking at the intimate Gu Chen.

Jiang Heyan was startled on the spot and looked at Nangong Yue on the carriage with confusion and surprise in her eyes.

Why is Your Highness with her? !

It seems that they are still traveling together.

Could it be that Nangong Yue also went to Huzhou...

Jiang Heyan looked at Gu Chen in a daze and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, why did she..."

Gu Chen said: "I will explain it to you when I get back."

"OK."

Jiang Heyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Nangong Yue also looked over at this moment and asked: "Prince Zhuang, you have returned to Kyoto now, I should be able to leave!"

Gu Chen nodded, "Yeah."

Nangong Yue stopped chatting and led his troops into the capital.

Seeing Nangong Yue's people leaving, Gu Chen lowered his head and looked at Jiang Heyan, "Let's go into the city too!"

"good."

....

After sending Jiang Heyan back to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Gu Chen took people to the palace again after explaining to her.

He needs to report the Huzhou matter to his father, and how Zhou Zhi and Li Hongxiong should handle it must be left to his father's judgment.

Following the eunuch to the palace where Emperor Wu rested, Gu Chen stepped through the door and saluted Emperor Wu in front of him, "Father."

"came back."

Seeing Gu Chen bring him, Emperor Wu quickly sat up straight and asked, "How is the situation in Huzhou? Has everything been handled properly?"

"The disaster is temporarily under control. The food we brought should be enough for them to last until the second season of early rice. But this time I went to Huzhou, Erchen made other discoveries."

Emperor Wu glanced at Gu Chen with interest, "Let's talk and listen."

Then Gu Chen told all about the corruption and bribery of Qingshui County Magistrate Zhou Zhi over the years, as well as the secret cover-up of the Huzhou chief and some other officials, and finally gave Emperor Wu the account book found in the county government warehouse.

Emperor Wu took the account book and flipped through a few pages carefully, with a sharp look in his originally calm eyes.

Emperor Wu looked at Gu Chen and said, "Lao Jiu, this bill belongs to the magistrate of Qingshui County!"

Gu Chen nodded and said: "Exactly. Now Zhou Zhi and Li Hongxiong have been taken into custody by me. If my father wants to see them, I will send someone to bring them up."

Emperor Wu said coldly: "Bring them up and let me see them."

Immediately, Gu Chen immediately sent someone to bring Zhou Zhi and Li Hongxiong to the palace.

After the two met, Zhou Zhi became much calmer. He didn't make any noise or make a fuss. He answered whatever was asked. He seemed to have fully understood the facts. But Li Hongxiong still refused to admit it, saying that he was just framed by Zhou Zhi. But now that the evidence is in front of him, no matter how many explanations the other party gives, it will be in vain.

After asking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them were pressed down again.

Then Emperor Wu asked Gu Chen about the current situation in Huzhou, and after getting to know each other, he left.

....

At the same time, Nangong Yue also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this moment.

Nangong Jue looked at Nangong Yue with a deep expression, his face a little ugly, "You mean Prince Zhuang also went to Huzhou this time! He even blocked your business!"

"Well, the grain I brought this time was also seized by the other party. Not only that, even Li Hongxiong, the head of the Household Department, was convicted and is now under custody." Nangong Yue nodded.

Nangong Jue was stunned for a moment when he heard that Li Hongxiong was imprisoned.

He asked why Prince Zhuang had not gone to the morning court during this period. It turned out that he had taken people to Huzhou a long time ago. Now it seems that the other party may have known about the situation in Huzhou for a long time.

After clearing his thoughts, Nangong Jue asked again: "Yue'er, he didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Nangong Yue shook his head, "That's not true. Apart from restricting my freedom, he didn't do anything wrong. Even when I returned to Beijing this time, I came back with him."

"Then did he say whether he would report you to His Majesty for selling grain?"

Nangong Yue said: "When he was in Huzhou, he might have promised me not to tell my father the truth in order to stabilize me. But I can't guarantee whether he will come back to complain."

If it had been before, she would have doubted Gu Chen's character and felt that there was a 90% chance that he would take this opportunity to inform his father and then suppress Prince Yun's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, after getting along with each other for this period of time, he found that the other party was quite principled in doing things. Except for being a bit sinister in some aspects, everything else is okay.

But after all, she didn't have anything to do with Gu Chen. If he really wanted to inform her father, she wouldn't be able to stop him.

You can't really stab him with the short knife he gave you!

After listening to Nangong Yue's explanation, Nangong Jue frowned and looked more sad.

If King Zhuang really complains to His Majesty, his position as prime minister in the court will definitely be greatly affected.

There is also King Yun, who may no longer be reused by His Majesty, which is definitely a blow to both families.

Seeing that Nangong Jue didn't speak, Nangong Yue took the initiative to ask, "Grandpa, has Gu Che come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask me during this time?"

Nangong Jue said: "I came here once, but I went back after a few perfunctory words."

Only came once!

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that she would not be able to explain to the other party that she would not go back. However, the other party only came to the Prime Minister's Mansion once to inquire, so he probably wasn't very worried about her wife.

Of course, he also knew the current relationship between the two, and it would be better for her if the other party didn't come.
