Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

Something big happened in the capital.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Xiao Heng, who has always been known for his elegance and refinement, was caught cheating.

That's fine, every noble person has some dirty deeds outside.

But the seriousness of this matter lies in the fact that the prince took a lot of medicine and was in pain for the entire night.

When he was found the next day, his body was cold!

The dignified Crown Prince actually died of a stroke on a woman.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

That day, the house in the west of the city was surrounded by people.

The honest man who was shouting about catching an adulterer came with a lot of men, beating drums and gongs.

All the neighbors came out to watch the fun.

Many officials and their families gathered in the west of the city. Someone took a quick look and saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The shout was like thunder in the sky, and the people ran away immediately.

When the government officials arrived, the man who caught the adulterer was gone, and neither was the woman who had had an affair with the prince.

But the news spread like wildfire, and the court was unable to suppress it.

Within half a day, the whole capital knew that the prince had raped another man's wife and had gone too far and died.

The emperor was furious and ordered the prince of the Duke's Mansion, Shen Huaizhi, to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But the investigation turned up another shocking discovery.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually has more than one woman he keeps outside.

Those from the south and north of the city, and those from neighboring counties in the suburbs of Beijing, together they are more numerous than the emperor's concubines.

That would be fine, but there are also some who were forcibly occupied, have no name or status, and no one knows where they came from.

His Majesty couldn't believe that his eldest son, whom he had trained with all his heart, would be such a person.

But Shen Huaizhi's evidence does not seem to be false.

The queen's evasive demeanor also explains everything.

He was actually deceived by this mother and son for more than ten years!

But the person was already dead, and the emperor had no place to vent his anger, so he wanted to cover up the truth and save the face of the royal family.

However, the prince of the Duke's Mansion, Shen Huaizhi, came to see the emperor overnight.

I heard that they had a thorough conversation in the emperor's bedroom all night long.

The next day, the emperor looked like he had aged ten years, and his hair had turned a lot whiter.

The imperial court issued a notice on the same day.

Crown Prince Xiao Heng behaved badly, bullied the people, privately raised an army, privately forged weapons, and intended to rebel.

He was stripped of his title of crown prince, expelled from the royal family, demoted to a commoner, and was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

The Queen Mother was also banished to the cold palace because of her failure to discipline the Prince and her indulgence in his repeated mistakes.

His Majesty's original intention was to execute the Queen.

But Duke Shen Jinxuan used the military power in his hands to exchange for the life of the Queen.

Shen Jinxuan was devastated by the prince's actions, and he knew that he had lost the emperor's favor.

He submitted a letter of resignation, requested to be stripped of his title, and planned to return home with his wife and children.

His Majesty has approved it, but the title of Duke should still be retained.

After all, all the evidence showed that they were also tricked by the prince.

What's more, Shen Jinxuan has made many military achievements, and leaving a nominal title to the Shen family can satisfy the old minister's wishes.

Shen Jinxuan thus withdrew from the officialdom in the capital.

He was disappointed, both because the crown prince was stupid and because his eldest son had formed an alliance with the third prince behind his back.

But Shen Jinxuan knew that Shen Huaizhi's choice was right.

At the very least, the lives of all the Shen family members do not have to be buried with the prince.

It's just a pity for the Queen Mother, who will have to spend the rest of her life in the cold palace.

......

When Gu Zhen heard the news, everything was settled.

Autumn has arrived in the capital and the weather is getting cooler.

Gu Zhen was planning to pack up and leave the Third Prince's Mansion.

During this period, Xiao Chen came to apologize to her every day without fail.

Gu Zhen accepted it, but that was all.

Their cooperation is over and it is time for Gu Zhen to leave.

The maids were reluctant to leave Gu Zhen and gathered around her to talk about gossip in the capital.

Knowing about the feud between Gu Zhen and the Duke's Mansion, he focused on the Shen family's decline.

Shen Jinxuan and Shen Huaizhi no longer have real power and are just empty titles.

And Miss Shen Tingwei, who was dreaming of marrying the prince and becoming the queen, was completely crazy.

Li Lanxun accompanied her daughter all day long, but she didn't expect Shen Tingwei to go crazy and even beat her mother.

One night, Shen Tingwei took a pair of scissors and blinded Li Lanxun's eyes.

While the mother and daughter were struggling, no one knew who stabbed Shen Tingwei's heart with the scissors.

After her daughter died, Li Lanxun also committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

The Duke's hair turned white overnight.

When Gu Zhen heard this, he hurriedly inquired about the safety of his aunt and cousin.

The maid had been reminded by Xiao Chen and hurriedly said that they were fine.

Shen Huaining passed the imperial examination and was sent out to serve as an official.

He took Shen Jinxuan and Qin Xiangmei away.

Now Shen Huaizhi is the only one left in the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that my cousin has become an official, I'm sure Shen Jinxuan wouldn't dare to do anything to my aunt.

Although it caused a lot of trouble to Qin Xiangmei and the others, at least Gu Zhen saved their lives.

As for Shen Huaizhi, Gu Zhen hasn't seen him for some time.

I guess he kept his promise and won't bother her again.

And don't think she doesn't know that Shen Huaizhi is not as embarrassed as he appears.

He must be helping Xiao Chen secretly.

But all this has nothing to do with her.

Gu Zhen packed her clothes even faster.

Xiao Chen listened silently outside for a long time, and only came in after Gu Zhen finished cleaning up.

All the maids withdrew, leaving the space for their masters.

"Are you really leaving?" Xiao Chen was reluctant. Looking at Gu Zhen's expressionless face, he couldn't help but ask.

Gu Zhen smiled at him: "It's not a good idea to stay here forever. Thank you, Third Prince, for taking me in during this period of time."

"Do you have to leave?" Xiao Chen tried to persuade her, "Gu Zhen, you stay here, I will come..."

Gu Zhen quickly interrupted: "I appreciate the Third Prince's kindness, but I am not interested in this."

Her rejection hurt Xiao Chen a lot.

I couldn't help but take two steps closer and lowered my head to look at Gu Zhen's face, which hadn't smiled sincerely for a long time.

"Isn't it good to be my woman? I promise that you will be the most special one in the entire harem, and no one can surpass you."

Gu Zhen smiled bitterly, wondering why they were all so chauvinistic.

Who wants to share a husband with others?

Rotten Cucumber Han Tang would never date two women at the same time!

Gu Zhen sighed and asked solemnly, "Third Prince, are you willing to marry only me in this life? No concubines or maids."

"And marry me, marry me formally, and make me your queen. Can you do that?"

Gu Zhen's words left Xiao Chen stunned where he was, unable to answer.

How is this possible?

If he successfully ascends the throne, he will sooner or later fill his harem and have offspring.

What's more, he also needed to rely on the concubines to maintain close ties with the previous dynasty.

Gu Zhen's request was really a bit unreasonable.

But Gu Zhen asked this just to make Xiao Chen see the reality.

"Third Prince, first of all, I don't like you. Secondly, I don't want to live a life like that in the harem, fighting for the favor of men."

“So, we’re really not a good match.”

Gu Zhen picked up the bag and smiled sincerely for the first time in several months.

"Goodbye, I'm going to live my own life."

Before Xiao Chen could say anything else, Gu Zhen waved and walked out.

It was so resolute, without a trace of nostalgia.

"Gu Zhen, I won't give up! I will let you see my sincerity!" Xiao Chen shouted unwillingly.

But the other party didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't care about it.
