Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 409
Therefore, when faced with Princess Huayi's entreaties, although Gu Yanxi felt distressed, she did not agree as if nothing had happened. Instead, she held Princess Huayi's hand with her backhand and said, "Princess, the imperial concubine First, you planned to murder the courtier's daughter, and then broke out about keeping a killer in captivity. Any one of these two crimes, if you find out any one of them, will ruin the reputation of the imperial concubine. The courtier also understands your mother-in-law, but Princess, the mistake she made is not an ordinary mistake, and with her status, if this matter spreads out, she is not the only one who will be criticized by the people of the world, even the emperor will be involved. The princess is in At this time, I just want to protect the imperial concubine, but have you ever thought about protecting your father?"

Princess Huayi looked at Gu Yanxi in a daze, her mournful and sad eyes gradually changed from panic to shock, and finally shock again, to understanding.

She is not stupid, so she can naturally see that what Gu Yanxi said seemed to take the overall situation into consideration and be righteous, but like a mother and concubine, she quietly involved her father; What people mentioned was that the name of his throne was not justified.

When he first came to the throne, there were many Hanlin students and Confucian scholars in the Academy because they talked behind his back about the scandal of killing his elder brother. After the matter was known to the emperor, he killed him in a fit of anger. Many people; although this move calmed down the voices who were talking behind the scenes, it also added a brutal reputation to the father.

Over the years, Emperor Father has worked hard to build his reputation as a Holy Master in Daliang, isn't it because he wants to leave an image of him as wiser than the former prince who died tragically in the hearts of the people of the world?Her father is not a soft-hearted person, for his own sake, even her most beloved biological daughter could be sacrificed.

Now, Gu Yanxi hinted in front of his father that his mother's concubine's actions might drag him down and be criticized by the world. Isn't this continuing to force his mother and concubine to a desperate situation?
Princess Huayi turned her head to look at her father in shock, and sure enough, she saw that her father's originally cold eyes were flickering fiercely at this moment. If this continues, even her pleading will not work.

Princess Huayi looked at Gu Yanxi in disappointment, and slowly withdrew her hand from Gu Yanxi's. She finally believed what the concubine mother said at this moment, and the Gu family would never let the concubine mother go.

Thinking that all of this was caused by herself, Princess Huayi was in extreme pain. She looked at Gu Yanchao, who had been watching coldly, and at Gu Jin, who was bound to seek justice for her daughter, and then looked at the smiling face who wanted to Gu Yanxi, who put his mother and concubine to death; Princess Huayi raised her head, and after two lines of tears slid down the side of her face, she closed her eyes in despair.

Looking at Princess Huayi like this, Gu Yanxi knew that after tonight's incident, it would be impossible for her to restore her relationship with Princess Huayi to the same level in the future; although it is regrettable to lose a friend like Princess Huayi However, if she could protect her family, let alone losing friends, even if it cost Gu Yanxi her life, she would not hesitate.

Concubine Chang Gui is in such a state today, in fact, no one can blame her, if she wants to blame her, she has lived a comfortable life in these years, which is why she was raised so unscrupulously, ignoring the laws of the country.

Gu Yanxi quietly handed a gesture in one direction to his side, and a figure who had been waiting in a hidden place and always paying attention to Gu Yanxi, after receiving the signal, immediately found an opportunity to go down quietly, and asked the masters to explain thing.

Sure enough, within a short while, a sound of mourning and crying came from outside.

The sound was extremely ear-piercing, and immediately cut through the stagnant air in the hall.

Emperor Liang Wu was upset at this time, when he heard the crying, a look of anger flashed across his brows and eyes, and he yelled at the palace attendant next to him angrily, "What happened outside? It's so loud?"

Everyone present could see the violence of Emperor Wu of Liang at this time. Amidst the roar, almost everyone was as quiet as a cicada; the palace attendant who was serving Emperor Wu of Liang stepped forward bravely, and replied in a trembling voice: "The emperor Here, no one dared to show up and make noise, presumably something important happened, and the noise outside disturbed the Holy Majesty, and I begged the Emperor to appease his anger, this slave will go out and have a look."

After finishing speaking, the palace servant did not wait for Emperor Liang Wu's response, immediately lifted up his clothes and ran out quickly, followed by three palace servants dressed in coarse linen, who knelt on the ground one after another, unable to hide Weeping and complaining.

Emperor Wu of Liang was already agitated because of Concubine Chang's incident, but seeing this situation happening again, he yelled on the spot: "What are these three people? Why did they come in front of me and shout for injustice? Once the son of heaven, will he become the governor who judges the case, avenging justice for the suffering lord every day?"

Seeing Emperor Liang Wu's displeasure, the palace attendant who brought the man in with a scalp immediately realized that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to throw the three of them out, he saw one of them, a skinny maid in coarse cloth, knelt Walking in front of Emperor Wu of Liang, he raised his sallow face and cried to Emperor Wu of Liang: "Your Majesty, this servant is Cuiya, the maidservant next to Concubine Yuan. Your Majesty, don't you remember your servant? Do you also forget Concubine Yuan?" Empress?"

Hearing the four words Yuan Concubine Empress, not to mention Emperor Wu of Liang, even Concubine Chang Gui who was kneeling on the ground was startled suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly and she looked at the maid in disbelief. It's like seeing a very scary monster, and the whole person can't help shivering.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the court lady who was kneeling on the ground and called herself Cui Ya, and he had some vague impressions. In his memory, this girl was very popular with Concubine Yuan, with a round face always blooming like A pure and clean smile like an apple blossom; but he didn't expect that the little court lady who always had a smile in his memory would kneel in front of him tonight, recalling his favorite concubine with a thin face.

Gu Yanxi didn't know what kind of person Feng Yichen had found to help her, but she believed that as long as he made a move, it would definitely be a big move.

Although she had already made psychological preparations in her heart, she did not expect that when she heard the word Yuanfei, she was also slightly startled, and the corners of her eyebrows subconsciously raised.

Because she had heard of the name of this concubine Yuan.

This woman entered the mansion when Emperor Liang Wu was still the prince and became his prince's side concubine. She can be regarded as the closest person around Emperor Liang Wu, and most of the news she heard about the concubine Yuan was rumored to be this girl. How beautiful she was, and how much she pleased Emperor Wu of Liang; but such an outstanding beauty died shortly after Emperor Wu of Liang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. , Since then, she has been on a steady rise, and has flourished in the harem.
