Chapter 171: Master Hu’s Death-threatening Advice

Early the next morning, in the Qinzheng Palace, Master Hu took the first step forward and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Everyone looked at Master Hu.

Emperor Jing was surprised and said, "Oh, Master, please speak."

Imperial Tutor Hu pouts his beard and says sternly, "Your Majesty, everyone knows that the War King has made outstanding military achievements, is loved by the people, and is also respected by my subjects. However, the War King and his princess recently beat someone in the street, which makes people extremely angry!"

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows. Such a trivial matter as the princess beating someone in the street would never be brought to the court. But now that Tutor Hu brought it up openly, he knew that the person who was beaten was not an ordinary person.

He looked at Gu Qingxuan who was standing aside as if he had not heard anything. His mind was turning, and he quickly said, "King Zhan, is this true?"

"I don't know." Gu Qingxuan replied indifferently.

Emperor Jing looked at the expressions of Master Hu and Gu Qingxuan, and thought about it again in his heart, and said: "Master, don't worry, there may be a misunderstanding. I will ask someone to verify it to avoid unnecessary trouble."

When Imperial Tutor Hu heard what Emperor Jing said, he knew that his attitude was obviously biased towards Gu Qingxuan. He said with anger in his tone, "Your Majesty, the person injured by Princess Zhan was none other than my beloved daughter!"

Emperor Jing's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Gu Qingxuan again, only to see that the other party still had a indifferent expression.

When the people in the hall heard this, they began to discuss in low voices.

"Well, maybe there is some misunderstanding. I will discuss it with you two in detail after I understand the whole story." Emperor Jing said.

When Master Hu heard what Emperor Jing said, his heart sank. He had already seen through Emperor Jing's attitude.

He glanced at Gu Qingxuan who was standing beside him, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Gu Qingxuan felt the gaze of Master Hu, but remained motionless. He just replied calmly, "Master, you are old now, and it is inevitable that you will have to think about some things. It is better not to think about them, so as not to get angry when you know the truth."

After hearing what Gu Qingxuan said, Master Hu became so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Gu Qingxuan but was unable to speak.

His chest heaved, and he was obviously trying hard to suppress his anger.

Suddenly, Master Hu knelt down and cried to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, I have been loyal to the court all my life and have never had two hearts. Now Princess Zhan beats my young daughter in the street, but no one dares to intervene. If Your Majesty does not uphold justice for me, I will die in this Qinzheng Palace!"

His words were fierce and his voice was trembling, and it was obvious that his emotions had reached their limit.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Qinzheng Hall became solemn.

Everyone looked at Emperor Jing and Master Hu silently, waiting for what would happen next.

Emperor Jing looked at Tutor Hu's excited expression and couldn't help but feel shaken.

He knew very well that Master Hu had been loyal to the court for many years, and that although Gu Qingxuan was favored, he had never been able to fully control the government.

He glanced at the guards in the hall and had already made up his mind.

He waved his hand, signaling the guards in the palace to investigate the matter.

When Master Hu heard Emperor Jing's order, he looked at Gu Qingxuan provocatively.

Soon, the morning court ended, and Emperor Jing kept Gu Qingxuan and went to the study together.

"Sixth brother, what's going on?" Emperor Jing asked somewhat unhappily.

Emperor Jing originally wanted to discuss with his ministers how to deal with the war in the northwest and the drought in the western counties, but he did not expect that the morning court would be disrupted by a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on, but I do know that the princess is definitely not a tyrannical person and she has her reasons for doing things." Gu Qingxuan explained simply.

Emperor Jing frowned after hearing what Gu Qingxuan said.

He thought Gu Qingxuan would explain what happened, but he didn't expect him to defend the princess.

He was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not show it. He just said calmly: "Sixth Brother, you are my brother, so I naturally trust you. But now that Master Hu has great power in the court, if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary disputes."

Gu Qingxuan heard the worry of Emperor Jing, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated before making any decision."

After listening to what Gu Qingxuan said, Emperor Jing knew that he already had something in mind.

He nodded and said, "In that case, I trust you. But you must remember that you are a minister of the court, and you must always put the overall situation first."

"I understand, your humble servant." Gu Qingxuan said and left the study.

However, Chu Yunyan did not expect that this small incident would cause such an uproar in the court, and the news soon reached her ears.
