That was how Chen Qingshui had been used by Lone Constellation. But Gu Fuyue had already guessed this.
After all, he had been too hasty in dealing with Bei Zi's death. He had panicked then.
Luo Qingchen's personality had changed too much. That poison had wanted to kill Li Yi, but it had killed the Empress.
If Luo Qingchen had died, he would have been finished …
But it made sense. If Luo Qingchen had planned this, she would not have died.
But even he did not have the antidote for the Unsullied Dark Powder. Where did Luo Qingchen come from?
He had been thinking about this ever since he left the Supreme Court.
Until the attendant Chen Han beside him said to him: "Wang ye had this subordinate investigate the Empress' matter in detail at the Supreme Court yesterday. This subordinate did not find anything wrong, but found something else."
"What is it?"
Last night, before Bei Zi had died, he had been feeling uneasy. So in order to have more bargaining chips, he had ordered Chen Han to gather information on the Empress, Luo Qingchen.
How could such a weak and solitary person change so much in such a short time?
"I heard that the Empress was kidnapped when she was young. General Bai's son, Bai Situ, saved her life and she developed feelings for him."
Gu Fuyue heard this and joy flashed through his heart, "How did you find out about this?"
"Replying to Wangye, this subordinate just so happens to have a fellow villager working in the Left Prime Minister's residence. She used to be the Empress' personal maid." Chen Han said, "Last night Wangye was anxious, so I asked her first and understood this matter. I heard that the Empress loved to paint when she was in the Prime Minister's residence. She would stay in the study alone to paint every day. The person in the painting was always the same. "
"Bai Situ?"
"Yes." Chen Han nodded, "I heard that on the day of the Empress' wedding, she had a painting of Bai Situ in her sleeve."
"Hahaha —" Gu Fuyue's cold eyes narrowed. A sharp light flashed through his deep eyes, "Now I have something on that girl."
In fact, there was an instant when Gu Fuyue felt that Luo Qingchen was even more terrifying than the Lone Constellation.
Her ability to beat people at their own game was too good, and people simply didn't know how to react.
-
That night, at the Three Swords Restaurant.
Gu Fuyue invited Bai Situ to a banquet in the name of discussing the world.
Bai Situ kept the appointment.
"General Bai." Gu Fuyue cupped his hands and said, "How have you been, General Bai?"
"Fourth Prince, if you have something to say, then just say it. Everyone is very clear about your current situation." Bai Situ looked at him and said, "We don't have to beat around the bush. Moreover, I am not a general. Fourth Prince, you can change the way you address me."
"Brother Situ is indeed straightforward." Gu Fuyue drained the wine in his cup and said, "But didn't Brother Situ come because he cared?"
"Where did the letter in your hand come from —" Bai Situ lowered his voice and said, "You better tell me the truth."
Seven years ago, he and his father led troops to Yandang Mountain's Divergent Art City to capture a woman named Bai Xue under the order of the Solitary King. However, due to the strangeness of Divergent Art City, the troops they led suffered heavy casualties before they even saw the so-called city.
After careful consideration, General Bai Yue decided to capture a random woman and tell the Solitary King that the woman was Bai Xue.
This matter was one of deceiving the monarch and two of defecting. No one dared to speak of it.
But how did Gu Fuyue know?
"Brother Situ, we are in the same boat." Gu Fuyue raised his cup and took a sip, "As long as you are willing to work with me, not only will this matter be buried underground, the Bai family will also have more power."
