Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

After asking Gu Mao what happened, Emperor Wu left the Prince's Mansion. Not long after, Gu Chen received the summons and rushed to the palace on horseback.

Jingyang Hall.

Gu Chen walked into the palace and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wu, "I have met my father."

Emperor Wu is less than sixty now, and he already has a lot of gray hair on his temples. He looks a little weathered, but his whole face has a sharpness that ordinary people have never seen, and his temperament is majestic and extraordinary.

The more capable a person is, the more he cherishes his life, and this is the case with Emperor Wu.

During his reign, he severely punished corrupt officials, carried out large-scale construction projects, and reduced taxes. As a result, the weather in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been smooth in recent years, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the people are living a prosperous life.

But if you sit on this throne for a long time, you will feel reluctant to let it go.

In addition, he also knows that he is older and does not have the energy as before. He was afraid that after his death, the people below him would not be able to help him defend his kingdom in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he went astray and began to recruit magicians to refine elixirs.

Emperor Wu glanced at Gu Chen lightly and said in a low voice: "Do you know the purpose of my sending you here."

Gu Chen nodded and said, "I know, it's for the prince's sake."

"Since you know, can you plead guilty?" Emperor Wu said coldly.

Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, Lao Jiu kicked Lao San's lifeblood and cut off the royal seed.

"My son and I don't recognize him."

Gu Chen was not afraid of this and whispered: "Yan'er is my princess and the woman of Erchen. His Highness the Crown Prince used his identity to kidnap her into the palace for evil purposes. If Erchen ignores this matter, Holding back, holding back, what's the difference between being a coward!"

"If my father insists on blaming me, I will be willing to be punished, but I will never admit guilt!"

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice: "The third child is your royal brother. The elder brother is like a father. No matter what, you shouldn't kick him out?"

Gu Chen said calmly: "Father, this incident was an accident, not something I did intentionally..."

"Do you think I'm a fool?!"

"What I said is true. Father, please make a clear decision."

Looking at Gu Chen's serious face, Emperor Wu felt a little helpless.

He knew that what Lao Jiu said was unreasonable.

If he was really careless, he wouldn't have kicked Lao San so seriously. The other party just didn't want to admit it.

These young men are negligent in discipline, and their behavior is indeed bad, but no matter what, the other party is still his heir. Lao Jiu directly kicked him out of his life. How could he marry and have children in the future?

At this time, Mrs. Xiao, who was dressed in palace attire, hurriedly ran out of the palace gate and walked straight towards Gu Chen.

Emperor Wu was startled and blurted out: "My beloved concubine, why are you here?!"

Mrs. Xiao came to Gu Chen, quickly saluted to Emperor Wu, lowered her head and begged: "Your Majesty, Chen'er Chen'er accidentally got into such trouble. Please, for the sake of my concubine, please spare Chen'er this." once."

She had just heard a report from her subordinates that His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang had caused trouble in the Prince's Mansion, so she rushed over anxiously.

"My dear concubine, it's not that I don't want to be generous, it's that Lao Jiu has gone too far this time." Emperor Wu said sincerely.

"But Chen'er had to do this to protect Princess Zhuang. If the prince didn't do such stupid things, how could Chen'er hit him." Mrs. Xiao picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said aggrievedly.

"well..."

Emperor Wu sighed slightly and fell into silence.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, first looked at Mrs. Xiao on the side, and then looked at Gu Chen, "Okay, this time the prince was at fault first, but you, Lao Jiu, also blame yourself. I will punish you." You will be confined in Qingquan Palace for three days, facing the wall and thinking about your mistakes."

"My son, I accept the decree." Gu Chen said.

Three days of confinement is completely optional for Gu Chen.

After all, he is King Zhuang. Even if he is locked up, no one can control him. He can still leave if he wants.

"I thank you, Your Majesty." Madam Xiao turned from sadness to joy.

Naturally, she could see that His Majesty did not really want to punish Chen'er, but it was just a verbal situation to explain to the Nangong family.

"Lao Jiu, just stay at Qingquan Palace for the next few days. Do you hear me clearly?"

"My son, I understand."

"Okay, please step back!"

After leaving Jingyang Palace, Emperor Wu did not send eunuchs and guards to escort Gu Chen to Qingquan Palace, but let him go there by himself.

"Chen'er, what you did this time was a bit reckless! You deposed the prince, a prince who can't bear children. His Majesty will definitely not be able to pass the throne to him, but you also let the efforts of the Prime Minister's Office over the years be in vain. flow."

"If the prince cannot sit on the throne, they will definitely try their best to prevent you from sitting on the throne. Can you understand what my mother-in-law means?"

Halfway through, Mrs. Xiao's beautiful eyes moved and she turned her head to look at Gu Chen who was standing aside.

The prince was a follower selected by the Prime Minister's Office. Now that he is deposed, Gu Chen becomes the most likely candidate to inherit the throne among all the princes.

Coupled with the conflicts between the Prime Minister's Office and the Xiao family over the years, the other party will definitely not sit idly by and watch Gu Chen ascend the throne.

So before that, the best way is to support the new prince besides him.

"My son understands."

As the saying goes, uncle can tolerate it, but aunt cannot tolerate it.

Although His Highness Prince Jin set up this plan this time, this bastard Gu Mao has the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of his wife. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, can he still be considered a man?

If the Prime Minister's Office really has the guts to send an assassin to kill him, let's see who dies first.

But I have to say that Jin Wang, the sixth child, is indeed a bit sinister this time.

This time, due to his design, I am afraid that I and the Prime Minister's Office will become even more competitive.

At the same time, Gu Chen now has some doubts about whether King Jin's character has suddenly changed. He is not as careful as he was in the original plot, taking things one step at a time. Instead, he has an eagerness to try.

....

About an hour.

Jiang Heyan also received the news that Gu Chen was being detained by His Highness, and immediately drove to Qingquan Palace.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault this time, otherwise you wouldn't be locked up by His Majesty."

In the palace, Jiang Heyan looked at Gu Chen with soft eyes, feeling extremely guilty in her heart.

"It's okay. I'm just going to be detained for three days. I'll be back then." Gu Chen touched the other person's head and comforted him with a smile.

"But... if it weren't for me, Your Highness, you wouldn't be locked up."

"Then you should be smarter next time and don't believe other words easily. Then I might not be imprisoned..."

"But this time I was also worried about His Highness's safety, so I fell into their trap before I had time to think about it." Jiang Heyan said a little aggrieved.

"Okay, I know it was because of your relationship with me that I was accidentally held hostage by them. I will definitely not make this mistake again next time."

"Hmm, definitely not..."
