Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Gu Zhiyuan opened his mouth, but could only make a hoarse voice: "You are not afraid that the Fang family will find you..."

"Mrs. Fang conspired with you to poison the current princess. It is a crime that cannot be punished. Mrs. Fang committed suicide and died very happily. I think it is a bit cheap for her."

Pei Anlin said this with a sneer, making Gu Zhiyuan's face even paler.

The Fang family is also honorable anyway, Fang Shangshu has a lot of meritorious service besides the position of Shangshu, but his wife was forced to death by Pei Anlin just like that, even Pei Anlin showed a fearless appearance, The emperor didn't say a word. In this Chu country, is there really anyone who can defeat the Pei family?

The blood on Mrs. Fang's body slowly spread to Gu Zhiyuan's knees. He felt the sticky blood on his knees, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably: "I've already confessed, what else do you want to do?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he met a pair of cold and heartless eyes.

Those peach blossom eyes, which were very similar to Pei Anyang, stared at him without blinking. In those beautiful eyes, there was ridicule, disgust, and even threats!

In an instant, Gu Zhiyuan was shocked. He knelt down on the ground, ignoring the blood under his body, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll do it! I'll do it all!"

"Mrs. Fang is just a tool to deliver the poison. The person who really instigated me...to let me kill the princess...is the queen!" Gu Zhiyuan said word by word, "The queen wants to marry the Pei family and get the Pei family's marriage. Power, and she didn't want the Pei family to become a powerful foreign relative, so she tried to poison the princess to make the princess unable to have children anymore, and by the way affect our daughter, it is best to let her marry After being given to the third prince, she will not be able to have children, and she will not be able to give birth to a grandson who contains the blood of the Pei family."

Gu Zhiyuan replied tremblingly, while glancing at the emperor from the corner of his eye.

When he said all this, what he was afraid of was not the revenge of the queen and the Jiang family, but the man in front of him who held the power of life and death and possessed the supreme status.

Under everyone's gaze, the emperor's forehead showed blue veins, and he slapped the table angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about? If you frame the queen, it will be an extra crime! It is a felony that will implicate the entire family!"

Looking at the furious emperor, Gu Zhiyuan calmed down his fearful heart. His expression returned to calm. Although his voice was hoarse, he was extremely firm: "I have evidence!"

"This seal was given to me by the empress." Gu Zhiyuan took out a small seal from his sleeve with trembling hands.

Although this seal is only the size of a thumb, the phoenix engraved on it is vivid and exquisite. In addition, the phoenix is ​​a unique pattern of the queen, and no one else is qualified to wear it. It is obvious who this seal belongs to.

"This is the empress's private seal!" Gu Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "Back then, the empress told me to give it to my ministers in order to gain their trust. The emperor invited someone to come and see it."

The emperor sat down and lowered his head dejectedly: "Since when did she become like this?"

At this time, the eldest princess said again: "The empress lives in the imperial city all year round, and she is not allowed to go out easily, even people around her are not allowed to enter and leave the imperial city at will. How did she order Gu Zhiyuan to do things? There must be a bond maintain."

"Your Majesty, according to my wife's opinion, this matter is by no means so simple. Dali Temple must be asked to investigate the ins and outs of this matter thoroughly. Is there anyone instructing the Queen to do this? Is there someone passing the news in the middle?"

The Eldest Princess pressed her forward every step of the way, causing impatience and murderous intent to flash across the emperor's slumped eyes.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes outside.

I saw the confidant of the empress dowager walking in with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, this is a decree sent by the empress's order from this old slave."

"The empress knew that her virtues were deficient and she was not worthy of being a model of motherhood in the world, so she asked to be abolished and lived in seclusion in the Zhichangxin Palace. From then on, the ancient Buddha with the green light will atone for what she has done."

The emperor's clenched hands slowly loosened at this moment.

He stood up and bowed to the Eldest Princess.

This move made Princess Dachang and Old General Pei stand up quickly, and fell to their knees one after another, not daring to accept the emperor's gift.

"Auntie, it's because I didn't control the Jiang family well, which made the Jiang family commit such a big mistake. I can't wait to cut her into pieces to make up for Anyang, but after all, the Jiang family is the mother of a country. If... If so, then Execution like this will damage the prestige of our state of Chu, now that she has asked to be abolished, it is better to expose this matter."

"Don't worry, I will make up for all the grievances Anyang suffered!"

The emperor's words were sincere and his attitude was very humble.

The Eldest Princess knelt on the cold floor, seeing the emperor who couldn't bow down, the trace of hatred in her heart became more and more obvious.

But reason told her that now was not the time.

After a while, the eldest princess said in a deep voice: "What Anyang lost was a life! There are also countless illnesses and torments in the past 20 years! Is it just that she can make up for it after she asked to be deposed?"

The eldest princess, who has always been strong, has tears in her eyes.

Everyone knows that the Eldest Princess loves her daughter like her own life.

The emperor's back was lowered, and he made a full gesture. Those ministers wanted to speak, but they dared not speak, and all looked at the eldest princess with anxious eyes.

The only one who can make the emperor's posture so humble is the eldest princess.

However, the eldest princess straightened her back and still did not respond to the emperor's apology.

In the end, it was the old general Pei who came forward, pulled the princess away, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty said that, it's a shame! I understand your pain, and no matter what decision you make, I will never complain!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the eldest princess's obstruction and took the eldest princess away forcefully.

Gu Ning was left kneeling on the ground, his thin body looked more and more pitiful at this moment.

When the emperor saw this scene, the sympathy in his heart moved, he winked at Li Dehai beside him, and then left Dali Temple.

The whole Dali Temple is extremely quiet, you can hear a needle falling.

Gu Ning slowly walked out of Dali Temple like a walking corpse. The surrounding people had been dispersed by the forbidden army, and only a few forbidden soldiers in armor were left in front of her eyes.

At this time, Li Dehai walked quickly to Gu Ning's side.

"Master, don't resent the emperor." He sighed and frowned, very embarrassed, "The emperor has no choice but to do this! You also know that the power of the Jiang family in the court cannot be underestimated!"

"Jiang Taifu's disciples are all over the court. If the Jiang family is moved, I'm afraid that tomorrow's court meeting will lose more than half of the people!" Deal with the Jiang family according to the law, but..."

"I know it all!" Gu Ning's young and energetic beautiful face was full of sternness at the moment, her eyes were cold, and she said word by word, "It is the Jiang family who is protecting the culprit who killed my mother! Know!"

She turned around, and tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes: "I will remember this grudge!"

Hearing these words, Li Dehai couldn't bear it: "The county lord, the princess misses you most. She will feel at ease only when you are well. You must take good care of yourself."

"Thank you, Eunuch Li." Gu Ning issued the order to evict the guest coldly, "The emperor needs you, you should go back to the emperor earlier!"

Li Dehai, who knew he was not flattered, left slowly without changing his expression.

Gu Ning stood here for a long time, and got into the carriage with tears on his face.

Inside the imperial chariot, the emperor saw with his own eyes that everyone in the Pei family left with anger and hatred in their eyes, and the sense of uneasiness of not taking control today completely dissipated.

"How?" The emperor asked in a deep voice, "Does she believe it?"

Li Dehai stood beside the imperial chariot, and replied in a very low voice: "I am afraid that the servant will bear the whole Jiang family's grudge when he sees the appearance of the county lord."

The emperor raised his head, looked at the blue sky above his head, and said faintly: "If this is the case, then it would be great."

"You must let people pay attention to the movements of the Pei family all the time, and you must not miss a single bit." The emperor said in a calm voice, confident that everything is under control, "The day I am looking forward to will come soon. .”

Li Dehai was startled secretly, and silently remembered the emperor's words in his heart, and finally replied: "Your servant, go and order."

The emperor nodded in disbelief, and said in a good mood: "After entering the palace, announce that Daoist Chen is coming to the Tai Chi Hall!"

"The emperor's complexion is getting better and better." Li Dehai praised at the right time, "It must be Chen Daochang's elixir that has worked."

"Chen Daochang is a predestined person who can talk to the gods, how can he be compared with the group of quack doctors in the imperial hospital?" The emperor disdainfully said, "The group of quack doctors have not cured my illness for several months. But the elixir can cure the disease with my medicine!"

"That's natural!" Li Dehai said with emotion, "Chen Daochang was saved because of your insight. If not, he would have been burned as a monster!"

Li Dehai's words hit the emperor's heart, he waved his hand with a smile, and said modestly: "That means I have a predestined relationship with Daoist Chen."

In a carriage opposite to the direction of the imperial chariot, Gu Ning rubbed his stiff cheeks, before speaking out after a while: "The emperor's thoughts are really deep, I thought he was a..."

"A fool who only loves beauty?" Gu Ning covered her mouth in fright at the sudden words of the eldest princess.

Gu Ning's beautiful eyes flicked around: "Grandma, this is not at home, so be careful when you speak!"

"What are you afraid of?" The eldest princess sneered, not hiding her dissatisfaction with the emperor, "He still wants to use us to deal with the Jiang family, and he will never punish us for such disrespectful words?"

"That's true." Gu Ning sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect the emperor to be so powerful. As soon as the news came that Jiang Shi asked to be abolished, he came up with such a trick. On the surface, he couldn't avenge his mother, but in fact it was Let us completely hate the Jiang family and the Jiang family."

"Back then, he was able to sit in this position, so he was naturally not an ordinary person." The Eldest Princess said unclearly.
