In Xiao Shoufu’s opinion, this sentence was a blatant threat.
Xiao Shoufu clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. He felt that there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind. He forced himself to look calm and composed, but he had mixed feelings.
He thought that this matter was almost certain. He would definitely be able to save the Feng family. 1 le might even be able to use the situation to protect the Yu family.
She didn’t expect the Eldest Prince to be so unconventional and actually use such a move. It was equivalent to asking her to personally overturn all the doubts they had about Feng He’s assassination.
If the Eldest Prince was on their side today, he would also cheer for him, but he was on the opposite side of their family.
The Eldest Prince’s scheming was really terrifying.
Xiao Shoufu’s eyes flickered,
…..
“Lord Xiao?” Chu Yi urged again. He picked up another black piece from the chess box and played with it between his fingers.
Xiao Shoufu felt his eyes blur again, and a silver light pierced into his right eye. He subconsciously turned to look at Jiang Lun, who was stroking his sleeve with a smile.
Xiao Shoufu had no doubt that as long as Chu Yi gave the order, the eunuch called hang Lun would pounce on him like a mad dog again,
But this time, could he still be lucky enough to survive?!
Was it worth it for the Feng family and the Yu family?
The black piece that was like black jade spun between Chu Yi’s slender fingers. Suddenly, his fingers slipped and the black piece was about to fall…
Xiao Shoufu’s heart skipped a beat, and the pain in his neck intensified. I le blurted out, “Your l lighness is right.”
When the words left his mouth, the rest of the sentence became much simpler.
Xiao Shoufu took a deep breath and continued in a stiff tone, “Battalion Commander Gu is loyal. 1 le must have realized that Feng He had done something inappropriate, so he protected the Emperor.”
Feng She and Third Master Feng’s expressions changed drastically.
Chu Yi smiled slightly. It was neither good nor bad. The black piece was still between his fingers.
The hair on the back of Xiao Shoufu’s neck stood on end. He could only say again in an affirmative tone, “Feng He assassinated His Highness because he was disloyal. Gu Yuan has done a great service in rescuing him. ’
What a pity! Mu Cheng sighed in his heart in disappointment.
1 lowever, it was just a sigh. 1 le looked thoughtfully at Chu Yi by the window and vaguely saw a glimmer of hope.
During the reign of the previous Emperor, he placed great importance on the aristocratic families. Every first minister appointed by the previous Emperor was a descendant of an aristocratic family.
He had the intention to promote the poor, but he was weak and too benevolent. He was powerless.
On the other hand, this young Eldest Prince was clearly not such an incompetent person from what he said and did today.
Perhaps he could earn this meritorious service.
Only by letting the aristocratic families empty the seats they occupied could he rise to the next level.
Mu Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he quickly composed himself. lie continued as if nothing had happened, “That’s right.”
This matter couldn’t be simpler. At that time, there were so many commoners around Chengtian Gate who witnessed it.”
When he said this, the censors nodded repeatedly and felt that it was true.
With so many people watching, how could the Eldest Prince slander Feng He?
It was also these aristocratic families who banded together and insisted on slandering Gu Yuan for the sake of the Feng family’s reputation.
Madam Gu and Gu Jian were stunned on the spot, their minds blank.
Since even Xiao Shoufu admitted that Feng He was the one who assassinated the Eldest Prince, Madam Gu’s confession became a huge joke.
Actually, Gu Yuan was also a little stunned.
His sister had told him not to speak and not to argue. He listened to her, but why had things come to this?
He had been kneeling with his head half lowered, his expression well concealed.
In the eyes of the surrounding censors, they only felt that Gu Yuan was extremely calm and decisive at such a young age. This time, he could be considered to have endured humiliation.
The Emperor patted the parrot, and the parrot cried out heartlessly, “Contribution! Contribution for rescuing the Emperor!”
The parrot’s loud voice spread throughout the entire water pavilion, stabbing Xiao Shoufu’s heart like needles.
The Emperor silently decided to add more food to the parrot later. He laughed loudly and praised, “Gu Yuan, you’ve done a good job in protecting me. Get up.”
This was the first time the Emperor had called Gu Yuan by his name in public and not addressed him as Battalion Commander Gu. This meant that the name Gu Yuan had caught the Emperor’s eye. Even if he didn’t get promoted, it would be different from now on.
Gu Jian and Madam Gu naturally understood this. The mother and son’s faces darkened.
The patriarch looked happy and proud.
The people in the water pavilion were divided into two halves. 11 alf of them were happy, and the other half were gloomy.
“Thankyou, Emperor.” Gu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up and cupped his fists at the Emperor neither servile nor overbearing. 1 lis eyes were as firm as iron.
Recalling what his sister had said before leaving, he wasn’t in a hurry to get up. Instead, he turned to look at Madam Gu, who was kneeling beside him.
The young man’s determined eyes suddenly changed.
This glance was filled with admiration and sadness.
To Gu Yuan, there was no need to pretend. He could naturally show it.
Before knowing the truth about the “substitute”, Gu Yuan’s feelings for Madam Gu were indeed such a contradiction. He had only shown his past feelings at this moment.
The others around naturally saw it too. They didn’t feel any sympathy for Gu Yuan, especially Patriarch Gu.
Gu Yuan had done a good job. As his grandmother, Madam Gu should have stood on his side, supported him, and even refuted those doubts with him. However, Madam Gu chose to stab her grandson in the back and almost caused Gu Yuan to be called a traitor.
She almost ruined Gu Yuan.
How could she be called his grandmother? She was simply an enemy!
Madam Gu’s heart sank, and her graceful face couldn’t hide her old age.
She had been kneeling for too long, and her knees were so numb that they didn’t seem to belong to her. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she naturally understood that she had completely lost this game.
She opened her mouth slightly and couldn’t help but turn to look at Feng She and Third Master Feng. With her last trace of hope, she saw that the Feng brothers had already knelt down.
The Feng family was finished.
The hope in her heart was completely extinguished. She pursed her lips and didn’t say a word.
Gu Jian also felt the condemning gazes around him on Madam Gu and himself. He was in a panic and looked at her expectantly, hoping that she could do something else.
1 lowever, Madam Gu didn’t move. She was like a shell whose soul had been taken away, dumbfounded.
Gu Yuan slowly stood up from the ground. His every move was strong and agile, like a young leopard. It was a stark contrast to the dispirited Madam Gu and her son.
The Emperor’s gaze gently swept past Gu Yuan and finally landed on Madam Gu. He said to the chief eunuch, “Zhao Rang, what did the memorial Madam Gu just handed over say?”
As he spoke, the Emperor casually picked up a white piece from the chess box and slowly placed it on the chessboard.
He had finally thought of how to play this move. Yes, this move wasn’t bad.
The Emperor stroked his beard in satisfaction and looked at Chu Yi across the chessboard with a smile.
Chu Yi was holding a blue and white porcelain teacup and taking a small sip.
Just by sitting there and drinking tea, he had the elegance of a clear breeze and moon.
Zhao Rang agreed respectfully and quickly took out Madam Gu’s confession letter.
Gu Jian’s heart skipped a beat, and his body instantly stiffened like ice. He wished he could fly over and take the memorial back from Zhao Rang.
However, he couldn’t do anything. He could only listen to Zhao Rang slowly read the memorial in fear.
Actually, Gu Jian had helped Madam Gu draft this memorial, it was just written by Madam Gu, and he knew every word in the memorial.
However, at this moment, this memorial that he had personally drawn up was like a knife stabbing into his heart. Moreover, the knife was repeatedly stabbing and pulling out his heart, making him tremble.
Time seemed to have slowed down infinitely. Gu Jian felt even more tormented.
The Emperor and Chu Yi played chess by themselves. After another three or four pieces, the Emperor was stumped again. He frowned and pondered.
Madam Gu’s memorial wasn’t long. Even though Zhao Rang habitually dragged out the melody, he finished reading it very quickly.
The water pavilion was silent for a while. After a long time, the Emperor looked up from the chessboard and looked back and forth between Gu Yuan and Madam Gu. I le said in confusion and displeasure, ’’Gu Yuan helped to save the Emperor. Why is Madam Gu distorting the truth like this?’’
Zhao Rang gently closed the memorial and coughed dryly. He seemed to be in a difficult position and hesitated. He still reported, “Emperor, 1 heard from Madam Gu just now chat the late Marquis, Gu Ce, wasn’t born by her. His biological mother is the old Marquis’ concubine.”
Zhao Rang’s voice happened to be heard clearly by everyone present.
…..
Everyone was shocked and looked at Madam Gu in surprise.
This was a matter that concerned the Marquis Mansion’s nobility.
The Emperor’s expression changed as well. He casually threw a chess piece back into the chess box and raised his voice slightly. “There’s actually such a thing?!” These four words couldn’t hide his unhappiness.
Madam Gu and Gu Jian were suddenly shocked, especially Madam Gu. The crease between her eyebrows was so deep that it could almost squeeze a mosquito to death. They realized that this matter didn’t seem good.
The Emperor stroked his beard and looked at Gu Yuan, who was standing quietly at the side, again. He sized him up as if he was deep in thought.
After a while, the Emperor shook his head and sighed meaningfully.. ‘No wonder…”
