The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: 334 Exposure (Two more updates)

How could it be...her?

Gu Changqing incredulously said, "She...assassinated Jiaojiao... what about the previous incident at the Marshal Residence and Marquis Residence?"

The old priest knew about this matter. After all, when Gu Changqing broke jail to see Gu Yan, it was the old priest who had allowed Gu Changqing into the house.

The old priest said, "Although there is no evidence for that matter, it does seem likely considering her motive. Besides her, probably no one else would be so desperate to prevent the Emperor and the Empress Dowager from reconciling."

Even if the Zhuang family hoped to monopolize everything, if Zhuang Jinse got along well with the Emperor, they wouldn’t necessarily see it as a bad thing. Conversely, if they could win over the Emperor, making the emperor grant more favors to the Zhuang family, Zhuang Taifu would be pleased.

It’s just that the emperor never boarded the Zhuang family’s pirate ship. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

The old priest continued, "I guess she’s still bitter about the empress dowager’s seat. She wants to be the empress dowager, she wants to get rid of Zhuang Jinse. But she’s hidden her motives too well. Even though she’s the prime suspect, no one suspects her."

Something flashed in Gu Changqing’s eyes. He clenched his fists, his face cold.

"I’m afraid she’s also started targeting sixth young master recently," The old Priest hesitated for a moment, but still spoke of the jade pendant, "Also... when the young marquis in Zhaodu was poisoned by the Empress Dowager years ago, I suspected it was her doing."

Gu Jiao’s expression also turned cold.

Seeing that the brother and sister were ready to storm into the palace and execute there and then, the old priest quickly cautioned , "The two of you should not act rashly. You must not kill anyone in the palace! There are death warriors from the former emperor there. Not only will you fail, but you may also get hurt. Secondly, even if you do kill, it would still be unjustified. The Emperor would not spare you, and neither would the laws of our dynasty."

Gu Changqing coldly replied, "Do we just let her go scot-free?"

The old Priest laughed, "To deal with such people, we need to resort to unconventional methods!"

"What kind of unconventional methods?" Gu Changqing asked.

The old priest mysteriously smiled, "Naturally... fight fire with fire!"

Fighting fire with fire sounds simple, but it is actually not.

Especially since this old white lotus hides so well that even the old priest feels a sense of inadequacy.

However, the old priest has always been competitive. You may have more knowledge than me, hold higher office than me, but you can’t outmatch me in tea!

Life is as unpredictable as a play, and one must outperform the other!

Gu Jiao quietly touched her little backpack.

The old priest asked, "Where are you going so late?"

"To see my aunt." Gu Jiao said, keeping her face unchanged.

Old priest: "Put down the backpack."

Gu Jiao blinked and put down her little backpack.
