Chapter 720 Memory Fragments
More than half an hour later.
The carriage convoy came to a stop outside the princess's mansion in the south of Kyoto.
The two got off the carriage, and the thirteenth princess stood at the door looking at the huge princess mansion, with a happy smile on her face.
Gu Chan was stunned in place, her brows furrowed. At this moment, she felt a slight pain in her head. At the same time, memory fragments began to appear in her mind.
The Thirteenth Princess didn't notice anything was wrong with Gu Chan, and shouted to the servants behind her, "Come, move everything in for me."
"Yes, princess." All the servants responded in unison.
Then everyone began to unload the luggage from the carriage and moved it into the house.
The thirteenth princess turned to Gu Chan and said, "Prince Chan, let's go! Let's go in for a walk."
Gu Chan was still staring at the huge mansion in front of her, without saying a word.
"Prince Chan?" Princess Thirteen shouted in her ear again.
Only then did Gu Chan come back to her senses and said, "Well! Go in!"
"What's wrong with you? I feel like you haven't looked right since you got off the carriage and saw the door of the mansion. Are you feeling unwell?" Princess Thirteen asked with concern.
"No, no, I just think this mansion is not bad." Gu Chan quickly covered it up.
After saying that, she quickly followed the thirteenth princess into the mansion and started walking around.
The Thirteenth Princess said as she walked, "Of course this mansion is good. This used to be the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Prime Minister Gu and his family lived here, they took good care of the mansion, otherwise it would have been ruined by now."< br>
"Thirteenth Princess, I just came from a poor mountain village. I don't know what happened before Kyoto. I just want to ask, since Prime Minister Gu has such a good official reputation in the eyes of the people, why does his family of dozens of people have such a good reputation? Will my house be confiscated?" Gu Chan said slyly.
Although she has no memory of her predecessor, after experiencing so much, she now knows that her predecessor's name was Gu Cuier, and she was a family member of the former prime minister of Tiancang Kingdom.
As for the relationship between her predecessor and Prime Minister Gu, she couldn't tell clearly and couldn't remember it at all.
Now, relying on the memory fragments that emerged in her mind, she could also confirm that her predecessor must have lived in this mansion before, so she naturally wanted to find out why Prime Minister Gu's family was ransacked.
The Thirteenth Princess said vaguely, "I don't know much about this. I just heard that it seems that Prime Minister Gu had an affair with the enemy's spies and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. This led to his home being confiscated. In fact, it's a pity to think about it. He is obviously such a good prime minister, but because of a mistake, he fell into the tragic situation of having his house confiscated and all his family members being sent to live in exile. "
"Princess Thirteen, do you really believe that Prime Minister Gu is colluding with the enemy and betraying the country?" Gu Chan asked.
"I actually don't believe that he would do such a thing, but the evidence was solid at the time, so I don't even think I can believe it!" said the Thirteenth Princess, spreading her hands.
Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that Prime Minister Gu was framed?"
"Impossible! After all, he was not the only one whose house was ransacked at that time, and many people in the court were implicated. How can such a big thing be framed by others at will?" The Thirteenth Princess sighed.
Gu Chan fell silent after hearing this, thinking that it was really sad for her family to be exiled to the border because of the crime of treason and treason.
Of course, the saddest thing was Prime Minister Gu. Not only was he beheaded, but none of the officials in the DPRK who were usually close to him ran away! Thinking about it, these people must hate him to death. Thinking of this, Gu Chan couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that in the future in officialdom, you have to be wise and protect yourself, otherwise once you are implicated, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"That's because in the case of Prime Minister Gu, the family of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Punishment were both implicated in the case of Prime Minister Gu. It was only because they were on good terms with Prime Minister Gu that they were beheaded. Both families’ homes were confiscated,” Princess Thirteen said.
Gu Chan widened her eyes and said in surprise, "What did you say? Are these two families involved?"
"Yes! The two families together have one or two hundred people! It's really miserable." The Thirteenth Princess affirmed.
"Then the previous Minister of Rites, was his name Wei Tao?" Gu Chan asked.
The Thirteenth Princess nodded and said, "Yes! What's wrong? Do you know him?"
"Uh... I don't know him, I just wanted to ask." Gu Chan quickly covered it up.
When she said this, she had a look of guilt on her face.
Because Wei Tao is Wei Xing’s father!
When she first met Wei Xing in Zhongyuan City, Wei Xing told her that his father had been framed.
Gu Chan originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, but it wasn't until this moment that she realized that her Gu family was also implicated when the Wei family was ransacked!
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
After understanding these situations, Gu Chan immediately made up his mind to find a way to find out what happened to Prime Minister Gu and overturn the case for the Gu family.
The thirteenth princess stared at Gu Chan and frowned and said, "Prince Chan, why do I feel that you care about the Gu family's affairs?"
"No! I just asked out of curiosity. It's not illegal." Gu Chan said pretending not to care.
"Let me tell you, you'd better not ask questions that you shouldn't ask. The Gu family case was handled when my father was still alive. It's already passed now. It's best for you not to find out, lest you get burned and hurt yourself." The Thirteenth Princess reminded.
Gu Chan nodded quietly and quickly changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not mention this matter anymore. Let's go and help you clean up your boudoir! Then later, I will send someone to the Kyoto camp to invite Zuo Yun over for hot pot. That’s when you’ll start.”
"Well! Thank you for helping me. I will always remember your kindness. If you encounter trouble in the future and cannot solve it, remember to come to me and I will definitely help you solve it." The Thirteenth Princess reached out and patted her chest and said happily.
Gu Chan chuckled and did not take her words seriously.
After all, Kyoto is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The truly capable people are still hiding in the dark. If there is a problem that she cannot solve, even if she finds the Thirteenth Princess, it will probably be solved.
So she just smiled and continued to visit the mansion with the Thirteenth Princess.
In the afternoon, Gu Chan helped the thirteenth princess to keep the entire mansion in order, and then sent someone to the Kyoto camp to invite Zuo Yun.
When Zuo Yun came over in the evening, Gu Chan was already sitting in the front lobby with the thirteenth princess, waiting for him.
At this time, the hot pot was already placed on the table and stacks of dishes were laid out.
Zuo Yun stood at the table and stared at Gu Chan, who had a wicked smile on his face. He always felt a hairy feeling in his heart, and his whole back was chilled. He really didn't dare to sit down easily.
