MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 30

While everyone was dumbfounded, Yun Yan slowly took out a jade pendant from her bosom.

The jade pendant is moist in texture and light green in color, with a silver bell flower that is rare in Yu country carved on it.

"This is the token given to me by the seventh son-in-law when he made love to me." Yun Yan handed over the jade pendant.

Gu Yun raised his eyes and found that the jade pendant looked familiar.

Jiang Libai also looked at the jade pendant suspiciously, and after seeing it clearly, she moved closer to Gu Yun's ear: "Is that really yours?"

Gu Yun already knew the origin of this jade pendant from the depths of the original body's memory.

After the prince of Jin was born, he would have a unique jade pendant with his name engraved on it to show his identity.

This jade pendant was what Yuan himself was born with.

After Yuanshen left Jin Kingdom and came to Yu Kingdom, he brought many things with him, among them this jade pendant.

In the past, Yuanshen would often miss her hometown with the jade pendant, but after she gave up on the Emperor Jin and her mother and concubine, she put away all these things.

Neither Yuanshen nor she ever lost this jade pendant, but now it appeared in this woman's hands, and she said it was her token of love...

Gu Yun replied in a low voice: "It's my jade pendant."

"But I remember that I put away this jade pendant."

Jiang Libai frowned tightly: "Someone took it out secretly?"

"I'm afraid it is." Gu Yun suddenly thought of those people who went to her house to renovate before she married the Seventh Princess. At that time, she felt that Yuanshen's status was low, and she probably didn't need to pay attention to it.

Moreover, those people were also arranged by Yu Kingdom's royal family, so she let them renovate her house with confidence.

Other than that, no one else had ever entered her room.

"I think...the people who renovated my house took the opportunity to steal it."

Jiang Libai didn't expect this matter to be planned so early, "It's been several months now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out who stole it."

"The Anyang uncle's mansion has been designed so early, it is not easy." Gu Yun thought deeply, she felt that she had no value for others to design and murder, except for one thing-

She is the son-in-law of the Seventh Princess.

"Princess, maybe these people are not after me."

In the past, those dandies beat and scolded her openly, and never designed such oblique tricks. But since she became the consort of the Seventh Princess, it seems that these people have disliked her even more.

That night in the suburbs of Beijing, as well as the current situation, all want to frame her and put her in a place of eternal doom.

Jiang Libai bit her lip, and replied: "I'm afraid there are people behind the Uncle Anyang's mansion." Otherwise, the Uncle Anyang's mansion is not enough to reach out to the people who the royal family arranged for Gu Yun to renovate.

While the two were talking quietly, the minister of punishment over there had already seen the jade pendant.

"This jade pendant belongs to the son-in-law?" He picked it up and someone handed it to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun replied softly: "Yes." It's useless for her to deny it now, because when the original body arrived in the capital of Yu Kingdom, all the things she brought with her had already been recorded in the book, as long as she went through the files, she could find this one. The jade pendant is the proof of her stuff.

"Since it belongs to the son-in-law, then this woman said it was a token of love you gave her, can you admit it?"

Gu Yun chuckled: "Of course I don't recognize it. I have never seen this woman before, so how could I give her the jade pendant?"

"This jade pendant was lost a few days ago, and I couldn't find it after searching for a few days. It turned out that it was picked up by someone with a heart to make a fuss about..."

Li Chong couldn't make up his mind. The woman said that the jade pendant was a token of love given to her by the son-in-law, and the son-in-law said that it was lost by her. Each has its own reasons, and it is impossible to prove which side is telling the truth.

While he was hesitating, there was a commotion outside.

The eager cries came from far and near, and a woman broke in after a while.

Li Chongxian widened his eyes and scolded the uninvited woman: "Who are you?! How dare you trespass on the Ministry of Punishment?!"

As he spoke, he asked the guard who didn't stop him sharply: "What's going on?! Someone broke in!

"

While the guards were hesitating, the woman who broke in had already knelt on the ground: "Please forgive me! The little girl has a grievance and wants to appeal. The little girl is Yan Shi, the concubine of the seventh son-in-law, because before Witnessing that the seventh son-in-law knows sorcery, I dare not publicize it, so I can only pretend to be crazy to escape her clutches..."

Jiang Libai and Gu Yun looked at the person who came, and after seeing the face clearly, Jiang Libai clenched his fists.

This is actually Yan Qiaoer!

Sure enough, Yan Qiaoer pretended to be crazy and there was a follow-up! She actually came here for Gu Yun!

She had a bad premonition in her heart, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Gu Yun.

Gu Yun shook his head at her, and whispered, "Don't worry."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, "Princess, is this Yan family really the concubine of the concubine?"

Jiang Libai was silent for a long time, then nodded. She was negligent, and actually recruited such a wicked man into the mansion!

It was against Gu Yun, the seventh son-in-law again, and the Minister of Criminal Affairs decided to interrogate the two matters together.

"Speak out exactly what you know."

Yan Qiaoer lowered her head, and Xu Xu said: "This concubine is humble, and was appreciated by the seventh princess, so I chose this concubine as the concubine of the concubine..."

Jiang Libai became angry when she heard that, she stood up immediately, and looked at Yan Qiaoer without any pity in her eyes: "If you dare to slander the son-in-law at will, I will definitely want you to look good!"

Yan Qiaoer was frightened by her sudden fierce appearance, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Gu Yun took Jiang Libai's hand, pulled her to sit next to him and comforted her softly: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it."

There was an eerie calm in the lobby.

…

Later, under the stern inquiry of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yan Qiaoer explained the incident in detail, and also said that Gu Yun murdered the young master of Anyang uncle's mansion with sorcery, and the evidence was in Prince Jinping's mansion.

The two things were connected in series, Li Chongxian was quite cautious, and after consulting Gu Yun of the Seventh Princess, he went to search the Jinping Palace.

After a while, the guards brought in a puppet with the birthday of the young master of Uncle Anyang's mansion: "I found this from a very secret corner of the son-in-law's study..."

Li Chong first looked at the densely packed silver needles on it, and his head grew bigger.

"Witch... Witchcraft?!"

Everyone present took a few steps back in fright, not even daring to watch the excitement.

When the witchcraft was involved, Li Zhongxian became more cautious and directly reported it to Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu's will came down very quickly.

He said that since Gu Yun had serious suspicions and might have something to do with witchcraft, he would temporarily take him into custody and discuss it after a clear investigation.

It didn't take long for the news that the seventh princess' son-in-law knew the art of witchcraft and murdered Uncle Anyang who had discovered her affair with others spread among the aristocratic families in the capital.

Although many people find it unbelievable, after all, those who have met Gu Yun feel that she is not that kind of sinister person. But now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, these people can only pay attention to this matter with the mind of watching the excitement, and they all want to see if there is any reversal.

…

One day passed like this.

Fortunately, Gu Yun is the son-in-law of the Seventh Princess, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment didn't make things difficult for her, and locked her in a relatively good prison.

In the clean and tidy cell, Gu Yun sat on the wooden bench, closed his eyes and thought about what happened today.

After a while, there were hurried footsteps outside.

She looked up, and the worried-looking Seventh Princess appeared at the prison door.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Jiang Libai beckoned Chunxi who was behind her to put the wooden barrel over, "You didn't have dinner today, so I brought you some food."

Walking in through the cell door opened by the guard, Jiang Libai put the food on the simple wooden table, and after dismissing Chun Xi and the guard, she looked at Gu Yun without blinking.

"I didn't expect these people to use such clumsy methods." She was upset, and said in a low voice: "The testimony of Yunyan and that little dude is nothing to be afraid of, and the jade pendant just needs to be bitten to death to lose it, but... witchcraft is not small

This matter, all dynasties have kept it secret, because once it is involved in such a matter, no matter whether it is really wronged or not, it must be killed by mistake rather than let it go..."

"It seems...they want your life."

Gu Yun watched as she took out a plate of side dishes, placed them on the table, and carefully arranged the dishes for her.

"Princess." There was an imperceptible tenderness in her clear voice: "You don't have to worry about me, I will be fine." Because I have to accompany you through the difficult pregnancy and give birth to our baby with you Child, I want to accompany the child to grow up with you...

Thinking of this, Gu Yun's eyes became more gentle.

"Now that I've fulfilled their wishes, I'm in prison. I think the people behind the scenes will relax a bit. The princess just needs to follow what we discussed yesterday, and send someone to watch Anyang Bo's mansion in private to find out who is behind the scenes. You can do it behind your back."

Jiang Libai didn't know if Gu Yun really didn't worry about her own life or if she was really confident that she could find out and clear her grievances.

She was really worried.

She didn't pay attention to those false accusations at the beginning. But when the witchcraft incident came out, she was very afraid that her father would kill Gu Yun without evidence like those previous emperors.

Of course... Gu Yun is still the prince of Jin, no matter how fearful her father is, he probably wouldn't kill her.

She was just... just afraid that Gu Yun would be completely locked up, or sent back to Jin country directly... In that case, she might never see her again.

"Yes, I am very worried about you." Jiang Libai did not choke back at Gu Yun for the first time, she looked at her picturesque eyebrows seriously, and twitched the corners of her mouth: "What I am worried about is that if you are forced to be with Gu Yun Ben Gong reconciles with Li, then Ben Gong may be forced to choose a new consort again."

The girl's tone no longer contained the dislike in the past, only pretending to be free and easy: "Speaking of which, I have been with you for the past few days, and I think you are very good. So in order not to get along with you, I will definitely do my best probing."

There is a saying that can be used to describe the Seventh Princess at this time.

Except for the hard mouth, the whole body is soft.

Gu Yun didn't expose the obvious worry and fear in her eyes, and after a low laugh, he held her little hand according to his own will: "Yes, in order not to make the princess worry about the future consort candidates, I also I'll take good care of myself."

The temperature on the back of the hand was very hot, Jiang Libai stared at the knuckle-shaped hand for a while, and his heart felt hot. She turned her head unnaturally, and said coquettishly: "It's good that you know."
