Chapter 1478: It’s Actually All Related to Gu YundongEditor: Henyee Translations

Immediately after, the Emperor smiled. "Yes, I do know him. That’s not all. Gu Yundong’s name appeared even earlier than Shao Qingyuan’s on my desk."

Yi Zilan was stunned. His eyes widened and he was so stunned that he could not speak.

"W-Why? Isn’t Gu Yundong a countryside woman? I heard from her that she just came to the capital for the first time not long ago. She has only been here for a month. How could she..."

Yi Zilan was puzzled. Could Gu Yundong have lied to her?

The Emperor shook his head with a smile. "It’s indeed her first time in the capital, and I’ve never seen her before. However, although I’ve never seen her before, I have a deep impression of her. Do you know where the white sugar that appeared out of nowhere two years ago came from?"

"...Didn’t you say that Qin Wenzheng offered it from Fengkai County?"

"That’s right. Gu Yundong told Qin Wenzheng first before submitting it to my court."

Yi Zilan was so shocked that his lips trembled. "Your Majesty, do you mean that Gu Yundong made the white sugar?"

"Not only that, but more than a year ago, Wanqing Prefecture’s big family, the Xin Prefecture, colluded with the local prefecture magistrate and had close ties with foreign countries. In the end, their entire family was executed. Do you know who exposed them and found the evidence?"

Yi Zilan blinked and blinked again. Then, under the emperor’s affirmative gaze, his face turned pale and unpredictable. "No, it can’t be... Could it be her too?"

"Yes, it’s her." The Emperor was amused to see his expression change. He suddenly felt that it was quite interesting, so he continued, "And the mine that appeared in the depths of the Nine Tigers Mountain half a year ago was also discovered by her while secretly following the target."

At the mention of the mine, Yi Zilan’s expression suddenly turned serious.

However, the shock in his heart could no longer be described with words.

All of these were rare contributions to the emperor.

They were actually related to her?

The Emperor smiled. "So, it’s not wrong for you to be tricked by her."

Yi Zilan swallowed his saliva. In that case, it did not seem wrong.

"Not only is it not wrong," the Emperor said, "I’m actually quite curious why she didn’t torture you to death."

"Your Majesty, although I’m usually a little unreliable, I’m also a person who has read a lot of poetry and strategies. How can I be tortured to death by her?"

The Emperor raised his eyebrows. Why did these words sound a little unconfident?

Yi Zilan was indeed guilty. Now that he thought about it, Gu Yundong probably did not use any big moves because of his daughter?

Moreover, he was the royal prince after all, and he didn’t force Shao Qingyuan to his death.

If Gu Yundong knew what he was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes.

He could really comfort himself. She was only on good terms with the royal prince because she had seen him treat Doctor Zhang back then and felt that he was not a bad person.

She was not a murderer. Could it be that she would kill him if he offended her?

Besides, Yi Zilan and Shao Qingyuan had crossed swords a few times, but it seemed that Yi Zilan could only be abused. It was quite pitiful.

However, Yi Zilan felt that his thoughts were quite correct. Now that he was slowly digesting what Gu Yundong had done, he could not help but sigh. "In that case, Shao Qingyuan is not worthy of his wife."

No wonder he never left her side. It was as if someone would snatch his wife away. From the looks of it, this possibility was true.
